A must-read for any conscious creator. That's just the way it is, huh? Well, have you ever stopped to wonder why? Maybe that's just the way the cookie crumbles, but wouldn't it be nice not to have to clean up all those messy crumbs? Ask, and ye shall receive! Welcome to The Big E, a book that shows you exactly why things happen the way they do (and even better, how to change them).Join Jarrad Hewett (Author of Love, Life, God: The Journey of Creation), and Dee Wallace (star of E.T., Cujo, and author of Conscious Creation) as they explore the nature of colloquialisms and show you how to create anything you want by unleashing the power of your own energy! The Big E is a look at the universe and how our thoughts go from energy to action and bring about our daily lives. Jarrad and Dee take a hilarious yet profound look at things we tell ourselves everyday: from "No pain, no gain" to "That's just the way it is," these two brilliant authors, actors, and healers, bring The Secret to life and show you how the thoughts you think create the world in which you think them.

How to focus anti-hunger efforts not on charity but on the root causes of food insecurity, improving public health, and reducing income inequality. Food banks and food pantries have proliferated in response to an economic emergency. The loss of manufacturing jobs combined with the recession of the early 1980s and Reagan administration cutbacks in federal programs led to an explosion in the growth of food charity. This was meant to be a stopgap measure, but the jobs never came back, and the “emergency food system” became an industry. In Big Hunger, Andrew Fisher takes a critical look at the business of hunger and offers a new vision for the anti-hunger movement. From one perspective, anti-hunger leaders have been extraordinarily effective. Food charity is embedded in American civil society, and federal food programs have remained intact while other anti-poverty programs have been eliminated or slashed. But anti-hunger advocates are missing an essential element of the problem: economic inequality driven by low wages. Reliant on corporate donations of food and money, anti-hunger organizations have failed to hold business accountable for offshoring jobs, cutting benefits, exploiting workers and rural communities, and resisting wage increases. They have become part of a “hunger industrial complex” that seems as self-perpetuating as the more famous military-industrial complex. Fisher lays out a vision that encompasses a broader definition of hunger characterized by a focus on public health, economic justice, and economic democracy. He points to the work of numerous grassroots organizations that are leading the way in these fields as models for the rest of the anti-hunger sector. It is only through approaches like these that we can hope to end hunger, not just manage it.

The Eastern States Agricultural and Industrial Exposition was founded more than a century ago to "promote the agricultural and industrial development of the eastern states." Held at the fairgrounds in West Springfield, Massachusetts, the inaugural event was the National Dairy Show in 1916, followed by what would become known as "The Big E," the combined "state fair" of the six New England states: Connecticut, Massachusetts, Maine, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont. Weathering floods, hurricanes, the Great Depression, and two world wars, it is currently one of the largest fairs in North America, with an attendance of over 1.3 million fairgoers in 2015. With photographs spanning the past century from exposition archives, area residents, and his own collection, author David Cecchi presents a fascinating visual history of what he refers to as "the fair."
