The Roman Revolution is a profound and unconventional treatment of a great theme - the fall of the Republic and the decline of freedom in Rome between 60 BC and AD 14, and the rise to power of the greatest of the Roman Emperors, Augustus. The transformation of state and society, the violent transference of power and property, and the establishment of Augustus' rule are presented in an unconventional narrative, which quotes from ancient evidence, refers seldomly to modernauthorities, and states controversial opinions quite openly. The result is a book which is both fresh and compelling.

Lenny Bruce had the power to provoke laughter and delight from the repressed society of the early 1960s. But he also infuriated authorities; his blunt honesty caused him to be arrested and tried for obscenity in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Chicago and New York. These trials made history as a challenge to the First Amendment. This ground-breaking biography, told through text and an accompanying audio CD, allows readers to listen to, laugh with and understand the man whose words had the power to provoke laughter and debate -- as well as shock, outrage and arrests. The one-hour audio CD brings Lenny Bruce's voice to you, including his notorious routines and excerpts from the never-before-released secret tapes of his New York obscenity trial. The Trials of Lenny Bruce is the authoritative work on his career and free-speech battles. It paints a vivid, shocking, hilarious portrait of a man too honest for his time. Book jacket.
It is a guide to a loving and healthy life and world. We all want to have this kind of life (physically and spiritually), so we should know the true laws that guide us to achieve the life and evolvement God meant for us to have. Universal Spiritual Laws (USL) are the unbreakable God given laws that created and govern both realms of our existence. This book presents the primary USL (Love) and numerous secondary laws that all directly relate to the primary law. Over many generations, unfortunately, mankind has replaced God’s USL with their own self-serving, controlling, ego and greed based laws, leaving the world in the condition it is today. The USL were given to me by a highly evolved Goddess of Motherhood, Mercy and Compassion, Quan Yin (see depiction on back cover) through an ordained minister and a very evolved and gifted certified medium, Rev. Beverly Burdick-Carey. The spiritual source by-passes the human negative thinking, ego and desire for power and control and gives only TRUTH. Your thoughts, words and deeds, whether positive or negative, cannot escape USL and determine our physical and spiritual life and evolvement which is our purpose here on earth. Since we create our own life’s path, follow the USL in a positive way to avoid having to repeat needed life lessons and speed your evolvement and have a more ideal life. How you follow the USL is your choice. It is also extremely important to know and understand that WE ARE ALL A PART OF GOD not APART FROM GOD and GOD IS ALL and LOVE. Good health is very important in life and with forty years of medical and spiritual study and practice, I have learned that our life's path and health are created by our own thoughts, words, deeds and beliefs. Therefore, I chose to briefly cover the healing aspects of each USL to help you improve your health and healing. Use the knowledge, wisdom and truths given to me that comprises this book to better your physical and spiritual evolvement, healing and life. You can summarize this book in three words, UNCONDITIONAL LOVE and TRUTH, but you need to learn, study and follow the USL to spiritually evolve and benefit from them. Know the truth and truth will set you free. Keep an open mind and heart and start with small steps and I wish you Love and Light.
