    "JFK Assassination—What They Told Me" unveils a treasury of knowledge crafted by William Holiday, a dedicated educator with a passion for unraveling the truths behind the JFK assassination. In this book lies an extensive compendium of photographs, film segments, interviews, recordings, and documents, offering listeners a journey through the event's multifaceted dimensions. 
    A career educator, not a traditional researcher, William Holiday spent over five decades sharing his profound insights with students. From his years at Dummerston Elementary School to Brattleboro Union High School, and through his tenure at Keene State College and Castleton University, he fostered intellectual growth. His teachings on the JFK assassination, which spanned more than 50 years, extended most recently to the CALL Program at Keene State, where his classes often involved field studies in Dallas, Texas. 
    Notably, Holiday refrains from adopting the labels of "conspiracy theorist" or a staunch advocate of the "lone nut assassin" theory endorsed by the Warren Commission. Instead, he serves as a conduit for the firsthand accounts he has accumulated over time. The witnesses he introduces, ranging from researchers to doctors, provide unique perspectives that challenge conventional narratives. The book echoes the voices of those who were on the scene, including a young lady, an ambulance driver, an automobile salesman, and a deaf observer—all of whom recount their experiences in Dealey Plaza on November 22.

    The Performer - Art Life Politics

    An acclaimed sociologist's exploration of the connections among performances in life, art, and politics 
     
     
      
    In The Performer, Richard Sennett explores the relations between performing in art (particularly music), politics, and everyday experience. It focuses on the bodily and physical dimensions of performing, rather than on words. Sennett is particularly attuned to the ways in which the rituals of ordinary life are performances. 
     
     
      
    The book draws on history and sociology, and more personally on the author’s early career as a professional cellist, as well as on his later work as a city planner and social thinker. It traces the evolution of performing spaces in the city; the emergence of actors, musicians, and dancers as independent artists; the inequality between performer and spectator; the uneasy relations between artistic creation and social and religious ritual; the uses and abuses of acting by politicians. The Janus-faced art of performing is both destructive and civilizing.

    The Sixth History of Man

    In the spirit of medieval writer Chaucer, all human activity lies within the artist’s scope, the History of Man Series uses medicine as a jumping off point to explore precisely that, all history, all science, all human activity since the beginning of time. The jumping off style of writing takes the reader, the listener into worlds unknown, always returning to base, only to jump off again. History of Man are stories and tales of nearly everything. 
    The Sixth History of Man is the last narrative in the History of Man Series that uses infection as the underlying foundation. The series will continue but use other disease platforms for jumping off. From a human infection perspective, this sixth book will visit with the King of Pop Michael Jackson, vitiligo and propofol, the famous and infamous sexually transmitted diseases—herpes, gonorrhea, chlamydia, trichomonas, HIV and the granddaddy of colorful stories, syphilis—with their very entertaining tales, a world of romance, suspense, and thrillers. We’ll hop from science to art to music, going back in time to the astronomy of the Persians, Syrians, the Greek Aristotle and on to Ptolemy, Copernicus and Kepler. Our travels will take us to the Renaissance of art and music, stopping along a few stations, such as da Vinci, Michelangelo, Rembrandt, and Monet. A discussion of why and how humans went from spoken language to written language is on our menu. We will pay homage with another visit with the First Viennese School, parse senility, delirium, and dementia and most assuredly discuss the women who helped build Johns Hopkins Hospital. OK Boomers! and the sociology of cohort generations will help complete this narrative.

    In Why It's Normal to be a Mistress, A.A. Castor offers a provocative exploration of the hidden dimensions of extramarital relationships, challenging the notion that infidelity is simply a moral failing. Drawing on evolutionary biology, cultural history, and personal narratives, Castor reveals how the mistress role has long been shaped by societal pressures, unspoken desires, and the human quest for emotional fulfillment. 
    Far from glamorizing betrayal, this book delves into the complexity of female sexuality and the psychological forces that drive some women to seek connection beyond conventional boundaries. Castor examines how arranged marriages, patriarchal norms, and changing social attitudes have historically paved the way for mistresses to emerge as both subjects of scandal and symbols of empowerment. By tracing these legacies, Why It's Normal to be a Mistress provides a nuanced understanding of why certain women repeatedly choose this path, even when it carries profound emotional and relational consequences. 
    Through empathetic storytelling and rigorous research, Castor dismantles the simplistic judgments that often dominate discussions about infidelity. Instead, the focus is on fostering a deeper awareness of the biological, psychological, and cultural underpinnings that shape human intimacy. Readers are encouraged to reflect on their own beliefs about fidelity, desire, and self-expression, recognizing that genuine understanding does not equate to moral approval. Ultimately, this book offers a bold invitation to question long-held assumptions, expand our definitions of love and loyalty, and engage in a more honest, compassionate dialogue about the intricate tapestry of human relationships

    This is the tale of how the illuminati invaded and took control of the United States of America. This is the real history of America as you've never seen before. 
     
    Using new evidence we will reveal how this massive secret origanization infiltrated the religious groups, political parties, Universities and corporations. How they placed their own people in positions of power and authority. How they manipulated the minds of the masses and hid it all from view. 
     
    This group embraces what is known as the esoteric, the so-called spiritual truth hidden from the rest of us. Over a vast period of time, this secretive organization turned slowly to the dark side of these esoteric truths and utilized them for power and control. 
     
    They take their orders from the International Secret Council of Nine. They are collectively called the Confederation of Initiates. They are under the strict control of their masters and to oppose them means punishment worse than death. It has been this way for thousands of years and they are working slowly but surely towards their ultimate goal of a one world government with the Nine in control. 
     
    We reveal their plans and schemes. We show how the so-called land of the free is not free at all. How it is under the yoke of a very large, very powerful and very secret organization. This is the illuminati of America.

    “A poignant, powerful, inclusive, and deeply personal journey to meet the Great God Anubis. Filled with solid historical information, as well as practical contemporary rituals, magick, healing practices, and prayers, this book drew me in, opened my heart, and made me love dear Anubis even more.” —Michael Butler Smith, author of Embracing Isis   Anubis is Egypt’s original Lord of the Dead. That title was eventually transferred to Osiris, but even then, Anubis continued to be the most active participant in the after-death process, supervising rituals that determined what would befall the dead soul. He is credited as the inventor of mummification. A shrine to Anubis, one of the most significant gods of ancient Egypt, was discovered within Tutankhamun’s tomb. The image of Anubis has evolved into a veritable symbol of ancient Egypt.   Usually identified as a jackal or as a jackal-headed man, Anubis’s domain extends beyond death—he is a guardian of children and travelers and a finder of lost things. Anubis’s adopted mother, the goddess Isis, became popular outside Egypt, with temples in Rome and as far as the British Isles. As her guardian, Anubis traveled with her. He is as modern as he is ancient, appearing in comic books, video games, and in the book American Gods and its television adaptation. In modern times, Anubis has emerged as a sacred patron of mediums and occultists.   In this practical guide to working with Anubis, author Charlie Larson focuses the spotlight squarely on the jackal-headed god. Steeped in history and mythology, Anubis—Ancient Egypt’s Lord of Death and Protection features devotional practices and modern worship that includes rituals, prayers, invocations, correspondences, altars, and epithets. The book leads the reader on a journey of exploration into all things Anubis, delving into his various facets—death deity, psychopomp, and protector.
