Brothel: Mustang Ranch and Its Women by Alexa Albert, ISBN 0449006581 : When Harvard medical student Alexa Albert conducted a public-health study as the Mustang Ranch brothel in Nevada, the only state in the union where prostitution is legal, neither she nor the brothel could have predicted the end result. Having worked with homeless prostitutes in Times Square, Albert was intimate with human devastation cause by the sex trade, and curious to see if Nevada's brothels offered a less harmful model for a business that will always be with us. The Mustang Ranch has never before given an outsider such access, but fear of AIDS was hurting the business, and the Ranch was eager to get publicity for its rigorous standards of sexual hygiene. Albert was drawn into the lives of the women of the Mustang Ranch, and what began as a public-health project evolved into something more intimate and ambitious, a six-year study of the brothel ecosystem, its lessons and significance. The women of the Mustang Ranch poured their stories out to Albert: how they came to be there, their surprisingly deep sense of craft and vocation, how they reconciled their profession with life on the ou...

Beyond Zero Point: The Journey To Compassion (Full Frame) : One thousand seven hundred years ago key elements of our ancient heritage were lost to the west, relegated to hidden libraries and elite priesthoods. Recently translated manuscripts from the ancient Essenes, the mysterious authors of the Dead Sea Scrolls, offer new insight into our lost texts with surprising implications, ranging from personal health and relationships to conditions of global weather and social unrest. Key to understanding Essene wisdom is the science of compassion, with effects that begin in our bodies and extend into the cosmos. The Essenes suggested that the events of the world around us mirror the beliefs that we each hold within us. Such perspectives view the extremes of weather, earthquakes and social unrest, for example, as outer reflections of tension held within the thoughts and emotions of individuals and communities. The same understandings view peace, cooperation and gentle weather patterns as signs of the absence of inner tension. In addition to describing this "unified theory" of our outer and inner worlds, the Essenes carry us one step further, carefully descri...

The Origin of Species by Charles Darwin, ISBN 0553214632 : The publication of Darwin's The Origin of Species in 1859 marked a dramatic turning point in scientific thought. The volume had taken Darwin more than twenty years to publish, in part because he envisioned the storm of controversy it was certain to unleash. Indeed, selling out its first edition on its first day, The Origin of Species revolutionized science, philosophy, and theology. Darwin's reasoned, documented arguments carefully advance his theory of natural selection and assertion that species were not created all at once by a divine hand but started with a few simple forms that mutated and adapted over time. Whether commenting on his own ill health, discussing his experiments to test instinct in bees, or relating a conversation about a South American burrowing rodent, Darwin's monumental achievement is surprisingly personal and delightfully readable. Its ideas remain extremely profound even today, making it the most influential book in the natural sciences ever written -- a work not just important to its time, but to the history of humankind.

Destination Moon (Full Frame) : Industrialist John Archer, former Army general Tom Powers and research scientist Warner Anderson collaborate on a manned rocketship with an atomic engine, convinced that the nation that militarily controls the Moon controls the Earth as well. But as their work crews construct the spaceship "Luna" in the Mojave Desert, insidious foreign-inspired propaganda turns the tide of public opinion against them. Realizing that the project's enemies can use the law to halt the launch, Archer, Powers, Anderson and electronics technician Dick Wesson decide to make a hasty pre-dawn liftoff in the untested rocket--"Destination Moon!" Years before the first U.S. satellites were launched, and nearly two decades before Man first set foot on the lunar surface, George Pal's "Destination Moon" depicted these future events with a high degree of technical accuracy--and opened the floodgates of '50s Science Fiction. Robert A. Heinlein, renowned author of the novel "Rocketship Galileo," arrived in Hollywood with no knowledge of motion picture production or costs and no screenwriting experience--"nothing but a yen to ...
