Ashes to Ashes: America's Hundred-Year Cigarette War, the Public Health, and the Unabashed Triumph of Philip Morris by Richard Kluger, ISBN 0375700366 : No book before this one has rendered the story of cigarettes -- mankind's most common self-destructive instrument and its most profitable consumer product -- with such sweep and enlivening detail. Here for the first time, in a story full of the complexities and contradictions of human nature, all the strands of the historical process -- financial, social, psychological, medical, political, and legal -- are woven together in a riveting narrative. The key characters are the top corporate executives, public health investigators, and antismoking activists who have clashed ever more stridently as Americans debate whether smoking should be closely regulated as a major health menace. We see tobacco spread rapidly from its aboriginal sources in the New World 500 years ago, as it becomes increasingly viewed by some as sinful and some as alluring, and by government as a windfall source of tax revenue. With the arrival of the cigarette in the late-nineteenth century, smoking changes from a luxury and occasional pastime to an everyday -- to some, indispensable -- habit, aided markedly by the exubera...

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...

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...
