Afghanistan was an American crusade to win the war against the
“Evil Soviet Empire” and remake the world in its own image.
This goes right to the heart of understanding the destiny of the
Western Dream. Instead of a dream the US is caught in a nightmare.
Now Americans long for a spiritual regeneration away from the
vision of war as an honorable sacrifice to a vision of peace that
serves all. No one seems able to make the process move in the right
direction. We assimilated a profound understanding over four
decades of how to envision moving from war to peace that is now in
our novelized memoir, The Valediction: Three Nights of Desmond at
the Kabul Hotel.
In 1944 the Chicago Convention set out the foundations of public
international law regulating international air transport, but until
2016 no international agreement existed to limit its environmental
impact. Sustainable Development, International Aviation, and Treaty
Implementation explains why the CORSIA scheme, adopted by the
International Civil Aviation Organization in 2016, should be
implemented in 2020 even though the adequacy of this scheme is
still open to doubt and criticism. This book seeks to examine the
many dimensions of the effort to contain greenhouse gas emissions
from aircraft in a manner consonant with the principles of
sustainable development, and examines the development of
international law and policy in an area that has remained largely
outside the general framework of international environmental law.
International civil aviation is a significant polluter of the
atmosphere, and in this volume, a group of air law and sustainable
development law specialists considers how the international
community can respond.
As the dominant economic system is increasingly called into
question here comes a business model who's time has well and truly
come. Charting the history of the co-operative movement from its
humble beginnings in the north of England to a worldwide network,
this graphic novel presents a robust foundation for future
well-being. So let's celebrate social enterprise!
"Adjust Your Brain" represents a landmark breakthrough for the
field of psychiatry. It distils a synthesis of information from the
scientific literature, popular literature, and personal experience
into a simple model of brain chemistry that is easy to understand.
The model is based on the interactions of three brain chemicals -
aeserotonin, norepinephrine, and dopamine - aethat are acted upon
by nearly every psychiatric medication. It suggests that the
different "strengths" of these three chemicals produce different
personality characteristics, and that the strength of at least one
of the three is awry in most cases of mental illness, including
depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, eating disorders, and
others. Tweaking the strengths of serotonin and norepinephrine with
the existing drugs to mid-range and therefore optimal degrees not
only treats nearly every type of mental illness, but also will
produce a significant improvement in quality of life for most
people who are considered normal. By adjusting your brain in this
manner, you may not only become more passionately alive and truly
content, but also live up to your full potential. If we as a
society were to implement "The Adjustment" on an international
scale, it may not only improve nearly everyone's lives, but also
have very positive effects on human relationships and the very
functioning of society.

No one seems to be able to make the political process move in the
right direction. We assimilated a profound understanding of how to
envision moving from war to peace from our 40 year experience with
the Afghan story. The Valediction-Resurrection combines the
esoteric qualities of The Ninth Gate and Field of Dreams as Paul
Fitzgerald’s mind is opened to the unexplored role that the
mysticism of Afghanistan played in drawing him into its vortex.
That investigation begins with his search into his Fitzgerald
family’s participation in the 12th century Norman invasion of
Ireland. The story comes full circle when Paul fulfills his deepest
purpose by connecting the land of his Geraldine ancestors to the
ground of Afghanistan in a very personal and mystical way. It reads
like a novel but it all really happened! As we dug into our
Fitzgerald family history we discovered the bitter struggle for
power within the Anglo/Norman deep-state that has raged beneath the
surface down through the centuries. On November 22, 1963 Americans
were shocked by the public execution of John Fitzgerald Kennedy. In
the years since every manner of conspiracy theory has been advanced
to explain what happened. But killing the only Roman Catholic
President of the United States on the site of the first Masonic
Temple in Dallas on the Masonic day of revenge for the destruction
of the Knights Templar (November 22) bespeaks a ritual. If the
assassination could have been an act of retribution for an eight
hundred year old vendetta then we all must begin to view history
from a more complex perspective. In order to understand a
"deep-state," we must all begin to ask "deep-questions" and be
willing to accept "deep-answers," no matter where they lead. The
best book to start that investigation is The
Valediction-Resurrection. It delivers!
