Synopsis Through Grateful Eyes: the Peace Corps Experiences of Dartmouth’s Class of 1967 by : Charles A. Hobbie

As the 1967 graduates of Dartmouth College received their diplomas, not many of them envisioned spending several years overseas in the underdeveloped world, living and working amid unimaginable disease, extreme poverty, and other hardships. But an extraordinary number of class members from the remote college in New Hampshire’s mountains subsequently accepted invitations to journey to twenty-four different countries to live, work, learn, socialize, subsist, and grow with families in their host countries. They were Peace Corps volunteers, and their mission was to promote world peace and friendship in programs of agriculture, conservation, education, forestry, health, hydrology, law, marketing, engineering, rural development, urban development, and tourism. These volunteers were among the more than 650 graduates of the small but historic ivy league institution in the upper Connecticut river valley who have responded over the past sixty years to President John F. Kennedy’s challenge to help their country and the world. Peace Corps’ national headquarters has described Dartmouth’s cooperation with the Corps as “unsurpassed.” This book features their incredible stories, compellingly describing what nineteen of them and five spouses did, how they lived, whom they met, what they learned, and how they were challenged and changed by their experiences.

Synopsis Eyes of the World by : Jay Blakesberg

Eyes of the World: Grateful Dead Photography 1965 - 1995 is a large format coffee table book that will bring together, for the first time, a comprehensive collection of photographs from a wide range of photographers whose work has defined the Grateful Dead during their 30 year career. The focus of the book is to present these iconic, lesser-known and unseen images in an unfettered manner that will see them being presented as full page or two-page images on heavyweight paper across 272 oversized pages. Since Jerry Garcia's passing in 1995, the band's popularity has remained immense as evidenced by their continued merchandise sales, acclaimed 50th anniversary "Fare Thee Well" concerts in 2015 and highly anticipated documentary due out this May 2017. Among the photographers included are Herb Greene, Jim Marshall, David Gahr, Baron Wolman, Jay Blakesberg, Michael Putland, William Coupon, Michael O'Neill and Peter Simon, to name just a few. With support from the band's official archivist David Lemieux, Eyes of the World will stand the test of time to become the definitive visual reference of this "band beyond description."

Synopsis Thanks! by : Robert A. Emmons

A scientifically groundbreaking, eloquent look at how we benefit -- psychologically, physically, and interpersonally -- when we practice gratitude. In Thanks!, Robert Emmons draws on the first major study of the subject of gratitude, of “wanting what we have,” and shows that a systematic cultivation of this underexamined emotion can measurably change people’s lives."--

Synopsis Trauma Through a Child's Eyes by : Peter A. Levine, Ph.D.

An essential guide for recognizing, preventing, and healing childhood trauma, from infancy through adolescence—what parents, educators, and health professionals can do. Trauma can result not only from catastrophic events such as abuse, violence, or loss of loved ones, but from natural disasters and everyday incidents such as auto accidents, medical procedures, divorce, or even falling off a bicycle. At the core of this book is the understanding of how trauma is imprinted on the body, brain, and spirit, resulting in anxiety, nightmares, depression, physical illnesses, addictions, hyperactivity, and aggression. Rich with case studies and hands-on activities, Trauma Through a Child’s Eyes gives insight into children’s innate ability to rebound with the appropriate support, and provides their caregivers with tools to overcome and prevent trauma.

Synopsis You Are the Eyes of the World by : Longchenpa

Just as the images on television are nothing more than light, so are our experiences merely the dance of awareness. Often we form attachments to or feel enslaved by these experiences. But they are only reflections. As easily as television pictures vanish when the channel is changed, the power of our experiences fades if we penetrate to the heart of reality—the light of the natural mind within everyone. You Are the Eyes of the World presents a method for discovering awareness everywhere, all the time. This book does not discuss how to turn ordinary life off, and it does not describe how to create beautiful spiritual experiences; it shows how to live within the source of all life, the unified field where experience takes place.
