Sangharakshita was a Buddhist monk, a writer, a poet, and the founder of the Triratna Buddhist Order and Community – a pioneering worldwide Buddhist movement. He was also an audacious reformer, and for some a deeply controversial figure. In an absorbing narrative, Nagabodhi takes us on a journey through the twists and turns of Sangharakshita’s life; the experiences, insights, and reflections that nurtured his approach as a teacher; what it was like to live among his committed followers; and the controversies he left behind.

This work demonstrates that not everything that Disney touched turned to gold. In its first 100 years, the company had major successes that transformed filmmaking and culture, but it also had its share of unfinished projects, unmet expectations, and box-office misses. Some works failed but nevertheless led to other more stunning and lucrative ones; others shed light on periods when the Disney Company was struggling to establish or re-establish its brand. In addition, many Disney properties, popular in their time but lost to modern audiences, emerge as forgotten gems. By exploring the studio's missteps, this book provides a more complex portrayal of the history of the company than one would gain from a simple recounting of its many hits. With essays by writers from across the globe, it also asserts that what endures or is forgotten varies from person to person, place to place, or generation to generation. What one dismisses, someone else recalls with deep fondness as a magical Disney memory.

Walt Williams is a sixty-eight year old rookie cop. When a holistic physician is murdered, Walt becomes entangled in the high-powered world of corporate giants and corrupt politicians. The Police Department and the FBI join forces and Walt goes undercover in a 'sting' operation in order to expose those involved in this tangled web of intrigue and political corruption, and in doing so, becomes the target of a vicious assassin. Walt is also a 'rookie husband' and his new bride, Maggie, is determined to convert him from a life of comfort food and bachelor indulgence to a healthier lifestyle filled with organic food, vitamins, supplements and colon cleanses. A dead-serious mystery with hilarious twists! Reader review: "In Wolves In Sheep's Clothing, you are reading about the crimes that involve Pharmaceutical companies, healthcare professionals, the FDA and the FTC and to what end? Money, power and greed that affects the well being of all of us! Once I opened this book and started reading the first chapter, I could not put it down and wanted to see just how far into the political system this would go. Just how far would a pharmaceutical company go to keep their products on the market? What would happen if a study was released announcing to the world the fact that medicine is being sold and provided to patients unnecessarily without alternative methods being discussed? The reading grabs you from the first murder and you to find yourself hunting for the hawk-faced man along with the detectives. The author does a great job with the characters, keeping you involved in the medical mystery and you learn about some alternatives that you could research on your own."
