Prior to March 2020, Dagny Quinn Galt considered herself a “normie” with few opinions about politics and spirituality. But when serious questions began flooding her mind, she embarked on what she believed would be a logical, introspective journey to reveal fact-based information. Instead, her mission to know more quickly turned into an exploration of the subconscious, the I am, and the inner-knowing. In a collection of reflections, Galt invites others on her path to awakening through the beauty, ashes, and emotional roller coaster as she let intuition become her guide through life. As she reveals the insights she gathered along the way, Galt reveals how her perspectives slowly began transforming through homeopathic treatments, astrological guidance, and other methods. While chronicling her path to enlightenment, Galt shares her lessons learned and truths gained as she questioned the reliability of the US healthcare and education systems and formulated her own opinions about it all. Diary of a Conspiracy Theorist shares reflections extracted from a journey through a pandemic and beyond as a mother and loving being set out on an enlightening quest to learn more.
A Comparative Analysis of Capital Punishment provides a concise and detailed history of the death penalty. Incorporating and synthesizing public opinion data and empirical studies, Simon and Blaskovich's work compares, across societies, the offense types punishable by death, the level of public support for the death penalty, the forms the penalty takes, and the categories of persons exempt from punishment. It examines the effectiveness of the death penalty as a deterrent to violent offenses, especially homicide, the extent to which innocent persons have become the victims of capital punishment, and occurrences of state sponsored genocide and democide. This book is a practical and useful tool for public policy makers, criminal justice practitioners, students, and anyone who seeks to better understand the worldwide debate on this controversial social issue.
Steamboat Springs is world renowned for the ski mountain that overshadows the town, but it was the multitude of springs that drew Ute Indians and then the first white settlers to this valley. John Crawford, Steamboat's founder, envisioned a town where people traveled from around the world to take part in the healing properties of the waters. The various springs were believed to cure everything from rheumatism, gout and dyspepsia to virulent blood disorders and skin diseases. While some springs have disappeared and others were sacrificed in the name of progress, many--including Old Town Hot Springs and Strawberry Park Hot Springs--still beckon visitors to bask in their sparkling waters.
