The purpose of the book is to identify certain areas of fraud waste and abuse by officials from both the state and federal government. These officials have been abusing the trust that the American taxpayers have given to our elected officials. For over fifty years the Democratic and the Republican parties have created a system of government that has provided a pot of gold for themselves. This book contains examples of the power structure that the Democrats and the Republicans have created. The book also contains solutions to solve the economic crisis that looms over America. The question is, "Will the American taxpayer take charge of their own future and the future of their children?"

Alchemy is the ancient sacred science concerned with the mysteries of life and consciousness as reflected through all Nature. It is a harmonious blending of physical and subtle forces which lifts the subject, whether it be man or metal, to a more evolved state of being. The Way of the Crucible is a ground-breaking modern manual on the art of Alchemy that draws on both modern scientific technology and ancient methods. A laboratory scientist and chemist, Bartlett provides an overview of how practical alchemy works along with treatises on Astrology, Qabalah, Herbalism, and minerals, as they relate to Alchemy. He also explains what the ancients really meant when they used the term "Philosopher's Stone" and describes practical methods toward its achievement. The Way of the Crucible provides directions for a more advanced understanding of the mineral work -- what some consider the true domain of Alchemy.
