This is a new release of the original 1956 edition.
A good introduction to Edgar Cayce's approach to dreams and their
meanings. Compiled by Hugh Lynn Cayce and other dream experts, this
book includes Edgar Cayce's interpretations of his own dreams.
Just as the commercial market is full of lofty promises and glossed
over particulars, so it is with the marketplace of ideas. Too often
the church itself resorts to catchphrases and slogans, to
elementary truths over spiritually mature ones, to rhetoric over
reason, and concise responses instead of complete answers. The
danger of this is that the church may become nothing more than a
peddler of platitudes and its followers may become disillusioned.
This book aims to help uncover the real deal behind common
Christian bywords, and the real truth underlining prevalent
Christian truisms, in the hope that we might know God better, and
discover the richness and fullness that is in Christianity.

Eastern North America is one of only a handful of places in the
world where people first discovered how to domesticate plants. In
this book, anthropologist Shane Miller uses two common, although
unconventional, sources of archaeological data-stone tools and the
distribution of archaeological sites-to trace subsistence decisions
from the initial colonization of the American Southeast at the end
of the last Ice Age to the appearance of indigenous domesticated
plants roughly 5,000 years ago. Miller argues that the origins of
plant domestication lie within the context of a boom/bust cycle
that culminated in the mid-Holocene, when hunter-gatherers were
able to intensively exploit shellfish, deer, oak, and hickory.
After this resource "boom" ended, some groups shifted to other
plants in place of oak and hickory, which included the suite of
plants that were later domesticated. Accompanying these subsistence
trends is evidence for increasing population pressure and declining
returns from hunting. Miller contends, however, that the appearance
of domesticated plants in eastern North America, rather than simply
being an example of necessity as the mother of invention, is the
result of individuals adjusting to periods of both abundance and
shortfall driven by climate change.
The definitive book on what is known about the Late Pleistocene and
Early Holocene archaeological record in the Southeast The 1996
benchmark volume The Paleoindian and Early Archaic Southeast,
edited by David G. Anderson and Kenneth E. Sassaman, was the first
study to summarize what was known of the peoples who lived in the
Southeast when ice sheets covered the northern part of the
continent and mammals such as mammoths, saber-toothed cats, and
ground sloths roamed the landscape. The American Southeast at the
End of the Ice Age provides an updated, definitive synthesis of
current archaeological research gleaned from an array of experts in
the region. It is organized in three parts: state records, the
regional perspective, and reflections and future directions.
Chapters survey a diversity of topics including the distribution of
the earliest archaeological sites in the region, chipped-stone tool
technology, the expanding role of submerged archaeology,
hunter-gatherer lifeways, past climate changes and the extinction
of megafauna on the transitional landscape, and evidence of
demographic changes at the end of the Ice Age. Discussion of the
ethical responsibilities regarding the use of private collections
and the relationship of archaeologists and the avocational
community, insight from outside the Southeast, and considerations
for future research round out the volume.
