  Carl Sandburg is beloved by generations of children for his Rootabaga Stories and Rootabaga Pigeons (which is not in the public domain), a series of whimsical, sometimes melancholy stories he originally created for his own daughters. The Rootabaga Stories were born of Sandburg's desire for "American fairy tales" to match American childhood. He felt that the European stories involving royalty and knights were inappropriate, and so populated his stories with animals, skyscrapers, trains, corn fairies, and other colorful characters.

  In the 1990s, long before “Women in Tech” was a hashtag, Carol forged her technical career in server rooms and offices where she was the only woman. 
  In this memoir, Carol looks back on a 35-year, globe-crossing IT career that took her through the dawn of the internet, the machinations of the commercial sector, a celebrity dot-com, and an eye-opening job as a technical gun-for-hire.  
  In an industry known for both gender and age bias, Carol still has her hands on the tech well into her fifties. In this candid and engaging account, she relates how she’s done it by channeling the outspokenness and do-it-yourself ethos of the grunge era Riot Grrrls.

  The CIA's Gateway Process is an intriguing exploration into the depths of human consciousness and its untapped potential. Developed during the Cold War era, this program utilizes advanced audio technologies to synchronize brainwave frequencies, enabling participants to access altered states of awareness. Through a combination of binaural beats, guided meditation, and specific breathing techniques, individuals can experience Out-of-Body Experiences (OBE), astral projection, lucid dreaming, and even the theoretical possibility of time travel. 
  The process begins with the induction of a deeply relaxed state, allowing the mind to transcend its usual limitations. As brainwave frequencies align, participants report experiencing heightened states of consciousness, where the boundaries of physical reality become permeable. This state facilitates profound insights, enhanced creativity, and the ability to explore dimensions beyond the ordinary waking experience. 
  Astral projection and OBEs involve the sensation of leaving one's physical body and traveling in a non-physical form to distant locations or other realms of existence. Lucid dreaming, another key aspect of the Gateway Process, empowers individuals to consciously navigate and manipulate their dream environments. 
  The Gateway Process represents a unique fusion of scientific inquiry and metaphysical exploration, offering a groundbreaking journey into the mysteries of the mind and the universe. It challenges conventional perceptions of reality, opening doors to extraordinary experiences and profound personal transformation.
