    THE MEGA 11 HOUR COLLECTION OF ALL THINGS GEORGE HARRISON FOR FRIENDS AND FANS EVERYWHERE!Although George Harrison often insisted he was only a regular guy, there is quite a lot of evidence to the contrary. Throughout his often magical, turbulent, unlikely life, he selflessly raised millions for charity and still does via the good works of his charity, The Material World Foundation. Harrison was, too, the grandfather of world music, introducing audiences to be exquisite, ethereal complexity of both Indian music and the spiritually liberating Sanskrit mantras from the Vedic scriptures. Harrison was also instrumental in turning on a global audience to ethical vegetarianism, reincarnation, and the Hare Krishna philosophy.In this expansive specially priced 11 hour plus collection, there are no journalists getting in the way of the purity of George’s expansive ideas and his carefully told personal history. Here is George Harrison truly in his own words, speaking across the waters of time to generations of dedicated fans still deeply moved by this simple man’s great music, philosophical importance, and well-deserved historical significance.Author Dasa knew George and even contributed to recordings made in the late 1980s at his Friar Park Studios, working together with drummer 'Legs' Larry Smith on a song entitled Mandalay. Here is then the absolutely perfect collection of George Harrison’s finest thoughts, recollections, and untold Beatles tales important to the collection of every fan.Sripad Jagannatha Dasa is the author of over thirty internationally bestselling biographies, including the London Sunday Times bestseller 'Blackbird: The Life and Times of Paul McCartney' and 'Dark Horse: The Private Life of George Harrison'. He can be heard on the Westwood One Radio Network and has written and produced over eight hundred original spoken-word albums and video documentaries on various aspects of popular culture.

It is a relief to me to write it. It furnishes me an excuse for thinking." Four hours later he said, "I have finished it...some day—at the proper time — it can end my autobiography. It is the final chapter." Four months later—almost to the day—(April 21st) he was with Jean.

    An FDA economist discovers that solutions for food safety and nutrition lie in the hands of entrepreneurs—not government regulation and education.With about half of the U.S. population expected to be obese by 2030 and one out of six Americans getting sick every year, why is the Food and Drug Administration spending years trying to figure out if almond milk should be called “milk”? As a twenty-seven-year veteran of the FDA’s Center for Food Safety and Nutrition, Dr. Richard A. Williams poses this question.Dr. Williams also questions the accuracy of more than thirty years of food labeling, coupled with consumer education on diet/disease relationships and failed attempts to get consumers to track intakes. It is time for the American people to look elsewhere for solutions, rather than relying on the FDA.Fixing Food takes you inside the FDA and explores the inner workings that drove failed strategies. Following his tenure at the FDA, Dr. Williams spent more than a decade investigating new sciences—including genetic and microbial sciences—that are leading to innovative foods and products. With one of the greatest public health crises in American history ongoing, this research aims to solve our issues with food—once and for all.In this book, you will learn:• How FDA controls Congress, the Courts, and the Executive Branch and others who might be a threat to their resources and growth of power• How the FDA misuses risk assessment and cost-benefit analysis• How the FDA’s most recent innovation to keep food safe is fifty years old• Why food labeling has been a disaster• How entrepreneurs are remaking foods to be safer and healthier• How new medical devices will ultimately make nutrition as easy as using a cell phone• How trying to educate consumers through food labeling has been a public health disasterUltimately, the role of the FDA in the new world of food safety and nutrition must change if the agency is to stay relevant.

    What is emotional intelligence? Does it help us make better, more rational decisions? 
    Can we resist sales tactics and do the math, or do we jump in on emotional trends? 
    Those are some of the things we will discuss here. Other things that will rise to the surface are things like the mind of a psychopath, sinister tactics governments use to spread propaganda through the news, and how we can detect lies and manipulation faster. 
    If any of these things sound interesting to you, then I encourage you to start reading or listening to this book.

    Abandoned as an infant on the streets of Greenville, Mississippi, and rescued by a loving white family, Tommy Davidson spent most of his childhood unaware that he was different from his brother and sister. All that changed as he came of age in a society of racial barriers—ones that he was soon to help break. On a fledgling network, Tommy joined the cast of In Living Color, alongside other relative newcomers including Jim Carrey, Rosie Perez, Jamie Foxx and Jennifer Lopez—all united by an ingenious throng of Wayans siblings, poised to break new ground. Tommy gives listeners the never-before-told behind-the-scenes story of the first show born of the Hip Hop Nation: from its incredible rise, to his own creation of such unforgettable characters as Sweet Tooth Jones and appearing in such classic sketches as "Homie The Clown" and the unforgettable "Ugly Woman," through guest-star skirmishes to backstage tensions and the eventual fall of this pop-culture touchstone. And he also shares his very personal story of living with—and being inspired and empowered by—two distinct family histories.  Told with humor and hard-won honesty by a singular voice whose family and friendships help him navigate a life of personal and professional highs and lows, Living in Color is a bracing, illuminating, and remarkable success story.
