Sinossi

In the heart of America, where racial tensions simmer beneath the surface, "Passing Through Life" unfolds a poignant tale of love, family, and the challenges faced by those who dare to defy societal norms. Doug and Gloria Bates, an interracial couple living in Eugene, Oregon, make the life-changing decision to adopt two African American girls, Sarah and Jessica, into their family.

Their journey is fraught with both heartwarming moments of unity and heartbreaking instances of discrimination. As the Bates family navigates the complexities of raising a multiracial family, they encounter racism, prejudice, and misunderstanding. Yet, they persevere, driven by their unwavering love for their daughters and their belief in the power of family.

"Passing Through Life" is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the transformative power of love. Through the Bates family's experiences, we gain a profound understanding of the challenges faced by those who navigate the intersections of race and culture in America. The story sheds light on the importance of embracing diversity, fostering inclusivity, and promoting understanding across racial and cultural divides.

With each chapter, we are invited to reflect on our own beliefs, biases, and the role we play in creating a more just and equitable society. The Bates family's journey serves as a beacon of hope, inspiring us to strive for a future where all individuals are valued and respected, regardless of their race, ethnicity, or background.

"Passing Through Life" is a thought-provoking narrative that explores the complexities of identity, family, and the human condition. It is a story that will stay with you long after you finish reading, leaving you with a renewed sense of hope and a deeper appreciation for the beauty of diversity. Ultimately, it is a celebration of the resilience of the human spirit and the enduring power of love.

    Until April 14, 1865, John Wilkes Booth was one of the most famous actors of his time, and President Abraham Lincoln had even watched him perform. But his most significant performance at a theater did not take place on the stage. That night, Booth became one of history’s most infamous assassins when he assassinated President Lincoln at Ford's Theatre in Washington, D.C. 
    	In 1880, Civil War veteran James Garfield was running as a Republican for president, and one of his supporters was a man named Charles Guiteau, who wrote and circulated a speech called “Garfield vs. Hancock” that aimed to rally support for the Republican candidate. Though few knew it, Guiteau’s family had already deemed him insane and attempted to keep him committed in an asylum, only to have him manage an escape from confinement.  
    	In September 1901, the city of Buffalo was full of celebration. The Pan-American Exposition was ongoing, and it brought notable figures to northern New York, including President William McKinley, who had been reelected less than a year earlier. But also in Buffalo was Leon Czolgosz, a young man who had turned to anarchy years earlier after losing his job, Embracing his philosophy wholeheartedly, Czolgosz believed it was his mission to take down a powerful leader he considered oppressive, and McKinley’s attendance gave him the chance. 
    	In the annals of American history, few moments have been so thoroughly seared into the nation’s conscience that Americans can remember exactly where and when they heard about an earth-shattering event. In the 20th century, there was Pearl Harbor and the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. November 22, 1963 started as a typical Friday, and many Americans were unaware that President Kennedy was even heading to Dallas, Texas.

    This collection of 50 original paintings form a pictorial diary of a childhood in Wales from 1930-1944, painted retrospectively from memory by artist Eironwy Llewellyn whilst in her seventies. 
     
    The jaunty, naive style is intended to convey her early life as remembered ‘through the eyes of a child’, with the various scenes charmingly recalling life as it was lived during this period. Each painting is accompanied by commentary by the artist on its context and subjects, creating a uniquely personal and insightful record of the bygone traditions and community activity of rural Wales.

    Aboriginal Australia represents one of the world’s oldest continuous cultures, with a history that spans over 65,000 years. The Aboriginal peoples of Australia have a deep connection to the land, having lived across the continent for millennia, developing diverse societies, languages, and spiritual beliefs. This rich cultural heritage reflects an extraordinary resilience, as Aboriginal communities have adapted to a wide range of environments, from the arid deserts to lush rainforests. 
    The term "Aboriginal" refers to the diverse Indigenous groups that inhabit Australia, each with their own unique customs, languages, and traditions. There are over 250 distinct language groups, with their own dialects and systems of social organization. These communities have historically been hunter-gatherers, using sophisticated methods of land management, such as controlled fire-stick farming, to ensure the sustainability of their environment. The interconnectedness of land, culture, and spirituality is central to Aboriginal identity, where the landscape itself holds profound cultural significance. The concept of “Country” goes beyond mere geography—it is a living, breathing entity with deep spiritual meaning.

    The future is here. It's hiding in plain sight. Who can spot it? 
    In the 21st century, humanity faces three existential risks. Artificial intelligence is improving faster than we can comprehend and in ways we cannot predict. The biosphere of our planet is in question, and we humans are dangerously at each other’s throats. For the first time in history, we cannot look to the past to accurately model the future. Where then can we find answers? 
    Introducing Zeroism. Zeroism embraces what we do not know, what we cannot see, and acting courageously nonetheless. It is the underlying philosophy that steers Blueprint, the Autonomous Self, and DON’T DIE. It’s a philosophy that will serve a society that advances, not by each funeral, but at the speed at which it rejuvenates. 
    Bryan Johnson is an entrepreneur and explorer of the new frontiers of being human. Johnson took stock of his health and realized that a decade of chronic depression and poor cognitive control earlier in life had affected every measure of his well-being. He decided it was time to evolve. Johnson’s controversial ideas and methods have attracted both detractors and devoted followers around the globe. In Zeroism, Johnson shares the philosophical principles that aim to help humanity choose a path forward into the future now.
