~A story based on a true experience~~C.F. Ka'ai has been aware of elements of the Peacegivers story since childhood, as told by the Ancestors in spirit. Once forgotten, it was brought back to memory unexpectedly during a session with an intuitive channeler. This launched a personal journey to uncover what the Ancestors had spoken of long ago, and to fulfill the instruction received as a child, "books need to be written." This book tells a story of Light and shares an ancient message of peace, and reveals the Hawaiian People as peace-givers, vital contributors of Light. Their profound wisdoms and understanding of the divine connection with ourselves, others and the sacred nature that surrounds us, can light the way and positively affect contemporary times.~~This is a story of Light. Long ago in a remote valley, lay hidden the village of Ra'le in the Mu Nation and a warrior of light family who battles Shadow to save the Light of Mu for future times.

The concluding volume of a prestigious documentary edition; This, the sixteenth and final volume of The Papers of Henry Laurens, covers the last ten years of the statesman's life. During this period, Henry Laurens spent a hectic twenty-two months as a peace commissioner traveling between Paris and London, conferring with British ministers and his colleagues on the peace commission. At the same time, Laurens was coping with the grief of losing his eldest son, John Laurens, in battle, family conflicts over a proposed marriage between his elder daughter and a French fortune hunter, and his own poor health. This mixture of public and private concerns continued throughout his stay in Europe, as the commissioners attempted to negotiate a final peace treaty and a trade agreement with former allies and foes. In January 1785, Laurens returned to South Carolina, where he devoted the remainder of his life to personal affairs. Despite encouragement to return to public service, Laurens remained a private citizen with an active interest in the progress of his state, In his later years he recommended an end to the importation of slaves and diversification of the economy. Laurens died on December

A study of the lives of Christopher Gadsden (1724-1805) and Henry Laurens (1724-1792) is much more than a look at the contributions of two important, though largely neglected, heroes of the Revolution. Indeed, in these two lives, one can trace the development of the Revolution in South Carolina. Either Gadsden or Laurens, sometimes both, figured prominently in every major development in South Carolina between 1760 and 1783.

Here is an important book for social scientists interested in the influence of gender on certain types of behavior. Several perspectives are presented on the general topic of biopolitics and gender, including the points of view of brain science, endocrinology, ethology, psychophysiology, and such conventional interests as political attitudes, socialization, participation, social structure, and political hierarchy. The varied and provocative ideas explored in this volume will broaden discussions of gender beyond an exclusive focus on sex links to oppression and discrimination.
