Recent research now predicts 1 in 2 people will be diagnosed with cancer. Yet how many people actually know what they can do to help themselves when diagnosed with any disease? When Gill was diagnosed with cancer she took a very different approach to most people as to how she viewed it. She didn't hate her cancer, she simply worked with her body, both physiologically and psychologically, to change it. Her beliefs and positive approach played a huge part, along with conventional medical treatment, in helping her to deal with all that came with the diagnosis and to change the result.Through telling her story Gill explains why Bing Crosby and the film White Christmas were so important and why she did or didn't do certain things. She gives all the tips and techniques she used to tackle cancer - tips and techniques that can be applied by anyone to any diagnosed disease - not just cancer.

Exploitation filmmakers played a significant role in revolutionizing American cinema during the 1960s and early 1970s, churning out a string of independent Westerns, biker films, nudie-cuties and horror flicks in record times and often on shoestring budgets. With titles like Horror of the Blood Monsters, Cycle Savages and The Incredible 2-Headed Transplant, these films pushed the boundaries of acceptable on-screen violence and nudity and kept the American theater industry afloat as several major studios teetered on the brink of financial collapse. This work tells the story of that "other" Hollywood through interviews with 16 directors, performers, screenwriters, and stuntmen who helped bring these zero-budget films to the screen against incredible odds. The interviews give insights into exploitation filmmaking from the perspectives of pioneering directors Al Adamson and Jack Hill, actors Jenifer Bishop and Robert Dix, and stuntmen Gary Kent and Gary Littlejohn, and others. The work includes more than 50 photographs, including many rare behind-the-scenes images of the filmmakers on set.

Personally, I think that growing up is like entering the house of a stranger. I have no idea where the other exit is. Is the kitchen on the right or the left? Are the bedrooms upstairs or in the basement? Does the nice blue vase on the bookshelf have a monetary value or a sentimental one? If the owner is not there to answer my questions, maybe I can guess the answers, but I could be wrong. My intention in growing up is to become the master of my internal property. I want my doors and windows to be wide open to welcome life. But I want a guard at the door with strict instructions. He knows that inside, there are treasurers to protect. Even the most beautiful roses have thorns. The credit and the motivation for this translation belong to Claude Ledoux.

Harold is a simple man long troubled by doubts about what he should or should not believe. He fears the loss of his soul if he does not soon discover which of the world's "indisputable truths" are truly indisputable. One night, alone and distraught, he falls asleep to the most realistic dream he has ever had, a dream in which he is approached by the "Big Guy" come in person to address his pain.

Nobel Laureate Desmond Tutu has long been admired throughout the world for the heroism and grace he exhibited while encouraging countless South Africans in their struggle for human rights. In God Has a Dream, his most soul-searching book, he shares the spiritual message that guided him through those troubled times. Drawing on personal and historical examples, Archbishop Tutu reaches out to readers of all religious backgrounds, showing how individual and global suffering can be transformed into joy and redemption. With his characteristic humor, Tutu offers an extremely personal and liberating message. He helps us to “see with the eyes of the heart” and to cultivate the qualities of love, forgiveness, humility, generosity, and courage that we need to change ourselves and our world. Echoing the words of Martin Luther King, Jr., he writes, “God says to you, ‘I have a dream. Please help me to realize it. It is a dream of a world whose ugliness and squalor and poverty, its war and hostility, its greed and harsh competitiveness, its alienation and disharmony are changed into their glorious counterparts. When there will be more laughter, joy, and peace, where there will be justice and goodness and compassion and love and caring and sharing. I have a dream that my children will know that they are members of one family, the human family, God’s family, my family.’” Addressing the timeless and universal concerns all people share, God Has a Dream envisions a world transformed through hope and compassion, humility and kindness, understanding and forgiveness.
