Searching
for a Perfect State of Colorado
By
William Hood
In
his book, Searching for a Perfect State of Colorado, author
William Hood takes us along on his own harrowing journey as he attempts
to cross the Weminuche Wilderness Area, by himself, in September of
2002. He would complete this one hundred mile trek in just nine days
as backpacking across the San Juan mountains transcends from a physical
challenge, to a mental test, to ultimately a spiritual enlightenment.
In
his travels, Hood explores Colorado's varied history, as he relates
his own personal experiences to the State's. He weaves an enriching
yet comical story for the reader as he encounters guardian angels, an
abundance of wildlife, and evil weather. His journey would continue
after his hike as Bill searches in his mind for solutions to the environmental,
social and political issues facing Colorado in the 21st century.
After
returning home to the Front Range from his wilderness experience, Hood
finds new enlightenment to be a dysfunction, as greater challenges,
like changing careers in his forties, takes his journey back to the
desperation he experienced while in the wilderness. Once again, he finds
inner strength through his faith and his sense of humor; to strive toward
the person he had envisioned becoming.
Searching
for a Perfect State of Colorado encourages each of us to find our
own perfect state we had in mind.

A
Cultural History of the Native Peoples of Southern New England: Voices
from Past and Present.
By
Moondancer and Strong Woman
Very
few books on the history and culture of the southern New England Native
peoples have been written by the Natives themselves. Standard academic
books read like a clinical autopsy of a dead culture from many years
ago. Contrary to this, A Cultural History of the Native Peoples of Southern
New England provides an understanding of the ways, customs, and language
of the southern New England American Indians from the Native's perspective.
For the first time, a book written about the Native American peoples
of southern New England is written by the Natives themselves. Incorporating
voices of modern Elders and other Natives to the historic records of
the 1500s and 1600s, everything about the beauty, power, and richness
of their culture has been included. Sections of the book cover appearance,
language, family and relations, religion, the body and senses, marriage,
sickness, war, games, hunting, and much more. The proud and fiercely
independent Native American peoples of southern New England once walked
tall and proud on this land. With this book, they are now beginning
to walk tall again.

Meeting
the Enemy, Becoming A Friend: A Personal Journey and Challenge for All
of Us to Become More Responsible Global Citizens
By
Melinda Gelder, Ph.D.
What
would you do if you suddenly you found yourself part of a community
you had always thought you would never be associated with? What if this
happened in a foreign country, where everyone automatically thought
you were part of that group? In Meeting the Enemy, Becoming a Friend
Dr. Gelder talks about her personal transformation from outspoken critic
of the U.S. military to a global citizen that worked with military personnel
and Japanese citizens in cultural exchanges. A strong social and environmental
activist, Dr. Gelder recounts how she had to come to terms with military
actions in a foreign country and how those actions were reflected back
on her for her association with the military.
Overcoming
her initial bias against the military, Dr. Gelder took it upon herself
to become a global citizen and enhance the relations between military
personnel stationed in Japan, and the Japanese people located around
the military base. Through a variety of actions, Dr. Gelder worked to
build a positive relationship between the U.S. military and the local
Japanese citizens and their communities. In Meeting the Enemy, Becoming
a Friend, Dr. Gelder shows how it is possible to be a citizen in a global
world and to respond with positive actions towards the people and places
encountered, while also positively representing the places and people
you come from.

Quantum
Ring Theory: Foundations for Cold Fusion
By
Wladimir Guglinski, Ph.D.
In
Quantum Ring Theory Wladimir Guglinski presents a radical new
theory concerning the fundamental nature of physics. Hailed as a intriguing
theorist by Dr. Eugene Mallove, president of the New Energy Foundation,
Guglinski argues that the current understanding of physics does not
put forth an accurate understanding of the world. Instead, Guglinski
argues that we must once again consider the “aether,” a
notion originally put forth by Greek philosophers. By considering the
nature of “aether” and its role in physical processes, Guglinski
is able to put forth a theory that reconciles Quantum Physics with the
Theory of Relativity. To date, no other physical theory is able to accord
for the fundamental intraction between these two fundamental notions
of physics. As part of Guglinski’s new theory, the author presents
a new model of the neutron. Guglinski’s model of the neutron has
been confirmed by contemporary physical experiments: The first one was
made by Don Borghi and published in 1993 by the American Institute of
Physics; the second experiment was made by Elio Conte and Maria Pieralice,
subsequently published in the magazine Infinite Energy in 1999.
Currently, other experiments around the world are being conducted to
test the remainder of Guglinski’s theoretical work.
Quantum
Ring Theory presents for the first time in a complete text the
theoretical work of Wladimir Guglinski. In this volume cutting edge
theoretical work in physics is presented; theoretical work which may
ultimately change the very way we understand the world.

Respect
for the Ancestors: American Indian Cultural Affiliation in the American
West
By
Peter N. Jones, Ph.D.
In
this eagerly awaited book, the cultural anthropologist Peter N. Jones
brings fifteen years and over twenty-five projects to bear on one of
the more controversial questions in contemporary American anthropology
and American Indian studies. Are contemporary American Indian tribes
of the American West culturally affiliated with the people who crossed
over from Asia over 10,000 years ago? Have American Indians in the Plateau
and Great Basin lived in their homeland for thousands of years as their
oral traditions affirm? These are some of the questions he considers
in Respect for the Ancestors.
