Richard Wolffe

is an award-winning journalist and political analyst for MSNBC television, appearing frequently on MSNBC's Countdown with Keith Olbermann, 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, and Hardball. He covered the entire length of Barack Obama's presidential campaign for Newsweek magazine. Before Newsweek, Wolffe was a senior journalist at the Financial Times, serving as its deputy bureau chief and U.S. diplomatic correspondent. Revival is the dramatic inside story of the defining period of the Obama White House. It is an epic tale that follows the president and his inner circle from the crisis of defeat to historic success. Over the span of an extraordinary two months in the life of a young presidency, Obama and his senior aides engaged in a desperate struggle for survival that stands as the measure of who they are and how they govern. Revival is a road map to understanding the dynamics, characters, and disputes that shape the Obama White House. It reveals for the first time the fault lines at the heart of the West Wing between two groups competing for control of the president s agenda. On one side are the Revivalists, who want to return to the high-minded spirit of the presidential campaign. On the other side are the Survivalists, who believe that government demands a low-minded set of compromises and combat. .

WHEN THE PAST IS ALWAYS PRESENT: Emotional Traumatization, Causes, and Cures by Dr. Ronald A. Ruden, an internist and clinical research scientist in New York City, explains how and why emotionally re-experiencing a traumatic event coupled with the simple laying on of hands and other sensory input can successfully cure trauma-based illnesses. Dr. Ruden introduces "havening," a revolutionary therapy that cures suffering arising from trauma. Havening is the transitive verb for the word 'haven' meaning to 'put into a safe place.' The therapy is rapid and has no side effects, can be self-applied and uses touch and other sensory input as its primary therapeutic tools. Havening is an approach that goes directly to the subconscious where the trauma is stored. It is here that the brain's response to the event is permanently changed. While some forms of this therapy have been practiced for over two decades, many mental health professionals remain skeptical, given that it involves no medication, talking, or prolonged exposure to the original traumatizing event. Dr. Ruden makes a scientifically persuasive argument in WHEN THE PAST IS ALWAYS PRESENT that will open the door to acceptance of this new method of healing and stand as the pioneering reference on how we can forever eliminate emotional trauma. It is hoped that the approach presented here becomes accepted as an additional healing tool by mainstream medicine. http://www.amazon.com/When-Past-Always-Present-Traumatization/dp/0415875641/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1290963196&sr=8-1

Isabel Wilkerson won the 1994 Pulitzer Prize for Feature Writing for her reporting as Chicago bureau chief of The New York Times. The award made her the first black woman in the history of American journalism to win a Pulitzer Prize and the first African American to win for individual reporting. She won the George Polk Award for her coverage of the Midwest and a John Simon Guggenheim Fellowship for her research into the Great Migration. She has lectured on narrative writing at the Nieman Foundation at Harvard University and has served as Ferris Professor of Journalism at Princeton University and as the James M. Cox Jr. Professor of Journalism at Emory University. She is currently Professor of Journalism and Director of Narrative Nonfiction at Boston University. Wilkerson brilliantly captures their first treacherous and exhausting cross-country trips by car and train and their new lives in colonies that grew into ghettos, as well as how they changed these cities with southern food, faith, and culture and improved them with discipline, drive, and hard work. Both a riveting microcosm and a major assessment, The Warmth of Other Suns is a bold, remarkable, and riveting work, a superb account of an "unrecognized immigration" within our own land. Through the breadth of its narrative, the beauty of the writing, the depth of its research, and the fullness of the people and lives portrayed herein, this book is destined to become a classic.
