In our book, The Chakra Journey, we journey through the seven chakras -- the energy centers associated with our physical, mental, emotional and spiritual well-being. Each chapter includes a description of the chakra, along with moving personal accounts. As the authors, we celebrate the pain and joy of our journeys. By extending these emotions to paper, we hope you will connect with us and say, "I can see myself." The Chakra Journey is a non-fictional collection of fifteen author's stories. Some of the personal experiences include overcoming eating disorders, molestation, abortion, abuse, infidelity, degenerative disease, anxiety. The driving force behind this book is to forgive and heal the things we've condemned about ourselves and others by sharing our journeys of transformation. In our sharing, we find more love and acceptance for ourselves and the world around us. We hope to offer others a safe place to bare their souls and in turn, help contribute to a more loving, accepting, and tolerant world.

The sociological study of organizations encompasses both planned and formal organizations as well as spontaneous and informal ones. Sociologists examine organizations with attention to structure and objectives, interactions among members and among organizations, the relationship between the organization and its environment and the social significance or social meaning of the organization. The ways of defining and examining organizations vary depending on the theoretical emphasis. This book focuses on three things: * providing a wide and historically accurate portrait of the diversity of sociological theories and their application to organizational studies * updating selections that reflect a variety of ways that new technology affects methods of organizing and types of organizations * including readings that examine a range of both formal and informal structures, and both deliberate and impromptu interactions. Lively and provocative, this textbook is theoretically rigorous, disciplinarily informed and representative of heterogeneity within organizational studies.
Diana’s Ball Sports is one of 4 volumes in the Sports She Wrote series written by the first woman with her own weekly sports column in a major American newspaper, The Philadelphia Inquirer, from 1898 to 1901.
