When Magic Eye images hit the publishing world in the 1990s, the
response was as magical as the 3D images popping from their
colourful backgrounds. Viewers couldn't get these best-selling
books fast enough. In fact, Magic Eye I, II, and III rode the New
York Times best-seller list for 34 weeks and eventually sold more
than 20 million copies. Now Beyond 3D: Improve Your Vision with
Magic Eye takes this phenomenon to another level. Beyond 3D
examines the medical benefits and scientific possibilities related
to viewing these remarkable images. Clearly explained in lay terms
and through the use of numerous Magic Eye illustrations, the book
not only helps readers "see" the images, it identifies and
demonstrates the many physical and performance-related enrichments
that may result. Magic Eye has long been a worldwide hit. Besides
North America, Japan has been a highly receptive market for the
Magic Eye way of seeing. Magic Eye Inc. has already produced a
similar scientific-based book for that market - with a notable
reception. Beyond 3D promises to bring its benefits to a wider
audience, a group eager to experience results ranging from reduced
computer eyestrain and diminished stress levels to improved overall
vision and lengthened attention spans. Magic Eye continues its
fascinating run!
In the summer of 1968 Peter Matthiessen met Cesar Chavez for the
first time. They were the same age: forty-one. Matthiessen lived in
New York City, while Chavez lived in the Central Valley farm town
of Delano, where the grape strike was unfolding. This book is
Matthiessen's panoramic yet finely detailed account of the three
years he spent working and traveling with Chavez, including to Sal
Si Puedes, the San Jose barrio where Chavez began his organizing.
Matthiessen provides a candid look into the many sides of this
enigmatic and charismatic leader who lived by the laws of
nonviolence.
Sal Si Puedes is less reportage than living history. In its pages
a whole era comes alive: the Chicano, Black Power, and antiwar
movements; the browning of the labor movement; Chavez's fasts; the
nationwide boycott of California grapes. When Chavez died in 1993,
tens of thousands gathered at his funeral. It was a clear sign of
how beloved he was and how important his life had been.
A new foreword by Marc Grossman considers the significance of
Chavez's legacy for our time. As well as serving as an
indispensable guide to the 1960s, this book rejuvenates the
extraordinary vitality of Chavez's life and spirit, giving his
message a renewed and much-needed urgency.
My memories of growing up in Brooklyn, starting from kindergarten
until I was Thirty years old and moved to Long Island. It includes
my legal and illegal expoits, that helped me grow up to be the
person I am today.
With a foreword by Cesar Chavez's spokesman and speechwriter Marc
Grossman A high school senior, Jack Duncan dreams of playing
college baseball and leaving the political turmoil of the
agricultural town Delano behind. Ever since his father, a grape
grower, died ten years earlier, he's suspected that his mother has
been hiding the truth from him about the suspicious circumstances
surrounding the death. With his family's property on the verge of a
tax sale, Jack drives an old combine into town to sell it. On the
road, an old friend of his father shows up with evidence that
Jack's father was murdered. Armed with this new information, Jack
embarks on a mission to discover the entire truth, not just about
his father but the corruption endemic in the Central Valley. When
Jack's girlfriend warns him not to do anything to jeopardize their
post graduation plans and refuses to help him, Jack turns to his
best friend, Adrian, the son of a boycotting fieldworker who works
closely with Cesar Chavez. The boys' dangerous plan to rescue the
Duncan family farm leaves Adrian in a catastrophic situation, and
Jack must step up to the plate and rescue his family and his friend
before he can make his escape from Delano. The Road to Delano is
the path Jack and Adrian must take to find their strength, their
duty, their destiny.
