In this stark and powerful book, Bruce Jackson and Diane Christian explore life on Death Row in Texas and in other states, as well as the convoluted and arbitrary judicial processes that populate all Death Rows. They document the capriciousness of capital punishment and capture the day-to-day experiences of Death Row inmates in the official "nonperiod" between sentencing and execution. In the first section, "Pictures," ninety-two photographs taken during their fieldwork for the book and documentary film Death Row illustrate life on cell block J in Ellis Unit of the Texas Department of Corrections. The second section, "Words," further reveals the world of Death Row prisoners and offers an unflinching commentary on the judicial system and the fates of the men they met on the Row. The third section, "Working," addresses profound moral and ethical issues the authors have encountered throughout their careers documenting the Row. Included in this enhanced ebook edition is Jackson and Christian's 1979 documentary film, Death Row.
Discover the eternal value of your finite time—and intentionally choose the meaningful over the urgent every single day. Our culture makes it so that even the most organized and efficient among us feels the pressure of the ticking clock and the possibility and regret of missing out. Modern life has evolved in a way that sets us up for stress, pressure, and overload. New norms and attitudes tap into deeply-wired psychological impulses that make it harder than ever to take control of your time. Many of us also have innate personality traits that make the struggle even worse. No wonder time can become a tyrant that leaves us chronically stressed and discontented. Unlock an approach to life that bestselling author Valorie Burton calls “living timelessly.” You will come to understand 1) the gradual changes that have led us to a place where having too much to do and too little time to do it is the norm, 2) the vision for what it could look like if you were free from the stress of time and how to blast through the obstacles to those possibilities, and 3) the practical steps to choosing the meaningful over the urgent so that your life is unhurried yet purposeful and reflects the values and impact that are unique to you. It’s About Time helps you reimagine a life that is meaningful, at a pace that is natural, with a load that is doable and equips you with the tools to make it happen.
Review"Since I found your theory my life has changed drastically".In an age where scientists have become as dogmatic as religious leaders and religious leaders blatantly ignoring and denying scientific facts. How does one take a mature well informed approach to life's mysteries without denying the doctrine of scientific experiment.By integrating the results and not the conclusions of over a hundred years of science into a thoroughly logical consistent, contingent framework of conceptual understanding Bushy Van Eck portrays science and spirituality as two sides of the same coin.Mainstream scientists have deduced the concept of consciousness to a mere series of biochemical reactions and electrical impulses. This book shows that within the parameters of those biochemical reactions resides a new science waiting to be explored. By elaborating further on the premises of polarity he shows how water is even more essential to life than previously thought.By rearranging Einstein's theory of relativity to use time as an invariable constant he has managed to consistently integrate the quantum theory solving many paradoxes of physics rendering them merely as a lack of insight into the experimental data rather than "spooky" or "strange".Joseph Conlon ll Ireland Description"A mind blowing intellectual and compelling journey in Time, Space and Energy".Your mind is an evolutionary masterpiece that YOU reside in. For that very reason it's Time to take the steps to understand your mind and how you get to experience your life from moment to moment. In doing so you will have a better understanding all of humanity and how we can, all together, transcend the global collective consciousness. Explore the book and you will find something amazing. A puzzle will start to form and your mind will open to a new territory not yet discovered or moreover not yet understood by mainstream science. We will take you there and never mind the parts that are too technical or scientific, simply move on to the next page or section until you reach your own destination of understanding. The final section holds answers to some of the most perplexing questions current science has been unable to logically explain. The book was written with the intent of presenting a general audience a new theory that can finally help us understand the nature of reality in a new way. We are not here as neuroscientists or biologists explaining the intricacies of the brain. The two mainstays of physics: relativity and quantum mechanics, while individually work cannot talk to each other. How then can two theories that are 100% correct not work when put together? The answer is simple, either one or both are incorrect or there is a missing piece to the logic. We will present an answer that cannot be ignored due to its logical purity. You may have to read this book over and over until a light bulb goes off and suddenly a moment of awe happens as it has happened for many others. From that point on you can never go back to the same life you once knew for you will have gained knowledge that changes everything. And that my friend, is a true Theory of Everything!

One of the Ten Best Books of The New York Times Book Review Winner of the Los Angeles Times Book Prize Soon to be a miniseries from Hulu starring James Franco This enhanced ebook edition contains a 13-minute film, written and narrated by Stephen King and enhanced with historic footage from CBS News, that will take you back—as King’s novel does—to Kennedy era America. On November 22, 1963, three shots rang out in Dallas, President Kennedy died, and the world changed. What if you could change it back? Stephen King’s heart-stoppingly dramatic new novel is about a man who travels back in time to prevent the JFK assassination—a thousand page tour de force. Following his massively successful novel Under the Dome, King sweeps readers back in time to another moment—a real life moment—when everything went wrong: the JFK assassination. And he introduces readers to a character who has the power to change the course of history. Jake Epping is a thirty-five-year-old high school English teacher in Lisbon Falls, Maine, who makes extra money teaching adults in the GED program. He receives an essay from one of the students—a gruesome, harrowing first person story about the night 50 years ago when Harry Dunning’s father came home and killed his mother, his sister, and his brother with a hammer. Harry escaped with a smashed leg, as evidenced by his crooked walk. Not much later, Jake’s friend Al, who runs the local diner, divulges a secret: his storeroom is a portal to 1958. He enlists Jake on an insane—and insanely possible—mission to try to prevent the Kennedy assassination. So begins Jake’s new life as George Amberson and his new world of Elvis and JFK, of big American cars and sock hops, of a troubled loner named Lee Harvey Oswald and a beautiful high school librarian named Sadie Dunhill, who becomes the love of Jake’s life – a life that transgresses all the normal rules of time. A tribute to a simpler era and a devastating exercise in escalating suspense, 11/22/63 is Stephen King at his epic best.
