Interest in mindfulness has been booming in recent decades, but a
lot of misconceptions have grown up around this ancient practice,
some of which can cause serious harm. In this book, clinical
psychologist, researcher, and Zen master Dr. Richard Sears
carefully separates the myths from the facts. He explores myths
about the origins of mindfulness, what mindfulness is, how it is
similar to and different from other techniques, the practice of
mindfulness, its magical and mystical effects, mindfulness and
mental and physical health, and about using mindfulness in daily
life. Far more than just debunking myths, Dr. Sears points out the
profound ways that mindfulness can help us move through our
struggles and enrich our lives with inspiring stories and practical
tips. The realities of mindfulness are so much more fascinating
than the myths.

Professor R. S. McCulloh, Of His Operations At The Mint Of The
United States In Refining California Gold By His Zinc Method.
A major social and educational experiment in race relations was
conducted in Berea, Kentucky, from 1866 to 1904. During those years
Berea contained a community, school, and church which were all
fully integrated: white people, mostly from the Kentucky
Appalachian region, and black people, former slaves and their
children, from the Blue Grass country, lived, worked, and studied
together in an atmosphere designed to foster social equality. Sears
demonstrates that integration and social equality among the races
are not unrealizable ideals; at Berea in the second half of the
19th century these ideals were lived out in practical terms. The
Berea project was killed by state and federal legislation, not by
being intrinsically unworkable.
