THE INSPIRATION FOR THE NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES • An impeccably researched, page-turning investigation, revealing stunning and wide-ranging evidence suggesting that consciousness survives death, from New York Times bestselling author Leslie Kean “An engaging, personal, and transformative journey that challenges the skeptic and informs us all.”—Harold E. Puthoff, Ph.D., director of the Institute for Advanced Studies at Austin In this groundbreaking book, award-winning journalist and New York Times bestselling author Leslie Kean investigates the unexplained continuity of the human psyche after death. Here, Kean explores the most compelling case studies of young children reporting verifiable details from past lives, contemporary mediums who seem to defy the boundaries of the brain and of the physical world, apparitions providing information about their lives on earth, and people who die and then come back to report journeys into another dimension. Based on facts and scientific studies, Surviving Death includes fascinating chapters by medical doctors, psychiatrists, and PhDs from four countries. As a seasoned reporter whose work transcends belief systems and ideology, Kean enriches the narrative by including her own unexpected, confounding experiences encountered while she probed the question concerning all of us: Do we survive death?

What would you do if you had one chance to kill the man who raped your twelve-year-old sister? No Judge. No Jury. No witnesses. Seventeen-year-old child prodigy Garrett Anthony has to answer that question. As he holds a gun to the head of his sister’s rapist, he flashes back to his traumatic past: five-years-old in a foster home, seven-years-old stealing food to survive, and sixteen-years-old visiting his black father in prison for the first time. After years of fighting to secure a stable life for him and his half-sister, he finally has a scholarship to a prestigious Washington DC private school and the love of a Virginia senator’s daughter. But this newfound and tenuous happiness begins to unravel once he reveals the family secret which is the catalyst to the painful decision he must make. Can he take the life of someone else and continue to live with himself?

Sure, there are people who chain themselves to old-growth trees, raise their one child diaper-free, and make their own soap. The Virtuous Consumer is for the rest of us, struggling to make choices that are better for the planet — and for us. Leslie Garrett has created a comprehensive reference guide that — like a smart, funny, and eco-conscious friend — will steer you toward ethical purchases for everything from lipstick to cars, kids' toys to a new mattress. The Virtuous Consumer is your key to shopping consciously and creating a simpler, greener lifestyle.

Drawing the Future: Chicago Architecture on the International Stage, 1900–1925 is an illustrated catalog with companion essays for an exhibition of the same name at the Mary and Leigh Block Museum of Art at Northwestern University. Drawing the Future explores the creative ferment among Chicago architects in the early twentieth century, coinciding with similar visions around the world. The essays focus on the highlights of the exhibition. David Van Zanten profiles Walter Burley Griffin and Marion Mahony Griffin, Chicago architects who created an influential, prize-winning plan for Canberra, the new capital of Australia. Ashley Dunn looks at the two exhibits at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris, one devoted to the Griffins in 1914 and the other to the French architect Tony Garnier in 1925, demonstrating the impact of World War I on city planning and architecture. Leslie Coburn examines Chicago’s Neighborhood Center Competition of 1914–15, which sought to redress gaps in Daniel Burnham’s plan of 1909. The ambition and reach of Chicago architecture in this epoch would have lasting influence on cities of the future.

2012 Honorable mention for the Book Award in Cultural Studies from the Association for Asian American Studies Arkansas, 1943. The Deep South during the heart of Jim Crow-era segregation. A Japanese-American person boards a bus, and immediately is faced with a dilemma. Not white. Not black. Where to sit? By elucidating the experience of interstitial ethnic groups such as Mexican, Asian, and Native Americans—groups that are held to be neither black nor white—Leslie Bow explores how the color line accommodated—or refused to accommodate—“other” ethnicities within a binary racial system. Analyzing pre- and post-1954 American literature, film, autobiography, government documents, ethnography, photographs, and popular culture, Bow investigates the ways in which racially “in-between” people and communities were brought to heel within the South’s prevailing cultural logic, while locating the interstitial as a site of cultural anxiety and negotiation. Spanning the pre- to the post- segregation eras, Partly Colored traces the compelling history of “third race” individuals in the U.S. South, and in the process forces us to contend with the multiracial panorama that constitutes American culture and history.

From the Authors: We launched this project to discover the most complete information about technology U.S. accountants were using in their practices. Although there are many good surveys, there were many unanswered questions. The intent of this project is to discover and share factual, actionable items and insights that are not available from any other source. Our primary goal in producing this survey is to deliver a reference tool accounting professionals can leverage when making operational and technology decisions. The first step towards accomplishing this goal was to develop a validated survey instrument vetted through an advisory board of several of the industry's highly respected thought-leaders. The second step in this process was to ensure national participation from firms of all sizes to further validate results. The final step was to develop and publish this report, a collection of the survey questions, participant responses, and analysis.

From a Foreword by Jim Boomer, CPA.CITP, MBA: This year's survey provides some great insights on where firms stack up in both practice management and technology. I encourage you to view this as the starting point though. Strive to be better in all areas regardless of whether you are below, at or above average. After all average is where the best of the worst meets the worst of the best. Whether it is technology, processes or new service lines, we, as a profession, have the tendency to follow the herd. Large firms look at peers and do what they do. Small firms tend to look at other small firms. I challenge you to look beyond the firms of similar size for additional ideas on how to support your firm's continued improvement and growth. We've found that small firms can learn a great deal from those that are larger and vice versa. Although there is a wealth of information included in this year's survey results, here are the insights that stand out to me. --- 1. Firm leadership is still spending too much time working in the business rather than working on the business. --- 2. Improved workflow is both a goal and challenge for many firms, yet not enough are adopting the workflow tools and process improvement methodologies to address this challenge. --- 3. Although a majority of respondents spend 25% or less of their time away from the office, firms need to prepare for this growing trend. Technology is facilitating and fueling expectations among current and future employees. Managing this will require a greater investment in collaboration tools like video conferencing, instant messaging and presence. --- 4. Too many firms are still lacking basic management systems like document management, business intelligence and workflow automation tools. --- 5. With 85% of firms lacking a per-person technology budget, too many firms are still taking a reactive approach to technology spend. This often leads to investing in maintenance rather than innovation (the things that move you forward). Ask yourself what you would need to do to if your firm was 10X the size it is today. This question often creates excitement, change, innovation and exploration rather than striving for average or doing exactly what similarly sized firms are doing. By thinking differently, you can transform IT from a cost of doing business to a competitive strategic advantage in your firm. --------------- --------------- --------------- --------------- *** Save!
