Let me attempt to take you by the Hand and show you a few things.

Mind Synergy is about you. It is about how you lost your mind and how with my help you're going to get it back. If you think I am talking science fiction. Fine, but first ask yourself this; "Why do I always doubt myself?" "Why am I stressed out?" "Why don't I have the confidence to realise my goals?" And "Why oh why am I not happy or at least happier?" Believe it or not your mind has the same anatomy as Einstein or any other genius for that matter, the only difference between you and them is that they found the way to use their mind effectively and efficiently. Mind synergy shows you how to silence the negative voices and how to get your mind to work in sync with you and for you. What would your life be like if you could use your mind to its full genius potential and you were confident and happy? The answer is inside...

Actor John Wayne despised horses. He called them "filthy, disgusting creatures," and tolerated them only because western movies couldn't be made without them. Abraham Lincoln, famous for freeing the slaves, married into a family that owned slaves. Harry S. Truman, the 33rd President of the United States, was a proficient piano player. And speaking of Truman, did you know that the "S" in the middle of his name didn't stand for anything? Or did you know that actor and comedian Jerry Seinfeld owned (at last count) 44 Porsches? Actor Ryan Gosling is adored by millions of women around the world. But most of them don't know Gosling used to be a member of the Mickey Mouse Club. So did Christina Aguilera, Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake, by the way. There are a lot more. 1001, to be exact. 1001 things you probably don't know about your favorite celebrities and famous people.

Trickster Theatre traces the changing social significance of national theatre in Ghana from its rise as an idealistic state project from the time of independence to its reinvention in recent electronic, market-oriented genres. Jesse Weaver Shipley presents portraits of many key figures in Ghanaian theatre and examines how Akan trickster tales were adapted as the basis of a modern national theatre. This performance style tied Accra's evolving urban identity to rural origins and to Pan-African liberation politics. Contradictions emerge, however, when the ideal Ghanaian citizen is a mythic hustler who stands at the crossroads between personal desires and collective obligations. Shipley examines the interplay between on-stage action and off-stage events to show how trickster theatre shapes an evolving urban world.

The earth is indeed an extraordinary planet and not just because of the infinite variety of life that it supports, the land itself is fabricated marvelously with wonders that possess inherent capacity to attract and allure people throughout the ages. The wonders of the world that are discussed in the book have been the subject of many books over the centuries, but our aim is to present something much more enlightening, stimulating, and engaging than straightforward description.

Mechele is young, attractive, and looking to cash in on her aesthetic assets when she moves from New Orleans to Alaska in 1994 to earn money for college tuition. Her charms ensnare the affections of three men, and the combined effects of jealously, lust, and greed take a deadly turn in this true crime story. Before a murder in the woods shatters her contented life, Mechele works as an exotic dancer at the Alaska Bush Company, where she spends her days pleasing a procession of hard-working men. John, Scott, and Kent are simultaneously smitten with Mechele, and offer affection in the form of lavish gifts and ultimately engagement rings. While the three men begin their affairs on the same path, violent murder blasts apart their parallel lives. One of the trio is shot in the back; another is accused of the murder. Dead Man's Dancer follows this murder case from 1996 throughout Mechele's tumultuous trial in 2006 that becomes a nationwide sensation. Shocking in its detailed portrayal of murder and convoluted love affairs, Dead Man's Dancer excites horror in readers that lingers far after the last page is turned.

The day the towers fell, indelible images of plummeting rubble, fire, and falling bodies were imprinted in the memories of people around the world. Images that were caught in the media loop after the disaster and coverage of the attack, its aftermath, and the wars that followed reflected a pervasive tendency to treat these tragic events as spectacle. Though the collapse of the World Trade Center was "the most photographed disaster in history," it failed to yield a single noteworthy image of carnage. Thomas Stubblefield argues that the absence within these spectacular images is the paradox of 9/11 visual culture, which foregrounds the visual experience as it obscures the event in absence, erasure, and invisibility. From the spectral presence of the Tribute in Light to Art Spiegelman's nearly blank New Yorker cover, and from the elimination of the Twin Towers from television shows and films to the monumental cavities of Michael Arad's 9/11 memorial, the void became the visual shorthand for the incident. By examining configurations of invisibility and erasure across the media of photography, film, monuments, graphic novels, and digital representation, Stubblefield interprets the post-9/11 presence of absence as the reaffirmation of national identity that implicitly laid the groundwork for the impending invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan.
