Searching for the Spirit of the West - Social Utopias and World Wars – A Hidden History of the USA in the Twentieth Century

Luigi Morelli

Sinossi

How can the West rediscover its authentic spirit? Exploring the period from 1899 to 1945 – from the end of the US frontier and the writing of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz to the conclusion of World War II and the dropping of the atom bomb – Luigi Morelli traces the events that led the United States to become the world's dominating imperial force. America, he demonstrates, is deeply connected to Britain, Germany and Eastern Europe, particularly Russia. Yet despite their tragic collective histories, there is hope for the future – if only America can claim its true task.
Searching for the Spirit of the West challenges many of the falsehoods that pass for mainstream history. Utilizing a wealth of documented evidence from the research of overlooked historians, economists, social and spiritual thinkers, the author takes a symptomatic view of the past, revealing hidden, longer-term trends. This approach offers a new understanding of events such as the rise of Nazism, the Great Depression, the new Deal, and even the roles of banking and clandestine 'brotherhoods' in world history. Morelli also appraises The Wonderful Wizard of Oz in parallel with America's cultural achievements. Through imagination, L. Frank Baum's contemporary fairy-tale enables us to intuit the true mission of the West and its potential contribution to world culture, now and in the future.

The Benefits Of A Plant-Based...

Richard Greene

Plant foods contribute to the treatment of heart disease.Simply eating right can significantly extend life expectancy and reduce mortality. Many studies have shown that heart disease can be reversed with diet alone in many patients.Although current research findings and statistics lean toward conventional prevention and treatment, recent research has offered a new perspective on the benefits of dietary interventions, particularly for the whole food plant-based diet. A plant-based diet consists of fruit, grains, legumes, vegetables, and little to no animal foods (i.e., dairy products). Whole foods include those that have undergone a minimal amount of processing, free of artificial and other additives that distract the body from obtaining the original nutrient composition upon digestion. An example of this distinction is white bread, which has ultimately been processed to a point where the product has lost most of its whole wheat nutritional value. This book will examine the role of such an alternative diet in preventing and treating heart disease.
