Free Download Dispatches from the Mind: The Enlightenment Papers about All That Is by Kevin Scott King
English | October 12, 2023 | ISBN: N/A | ASIN: B0CKYFR15R | 268 pages | EPUB | 3.55 Mb
This book recounts the extraordinary experiences that happened to a seemingly conventional housewife and mother of three. On a day in early 1974, Linda Shields King sat down to compose a letter to her parents when, without warning, her first automatic writings ensued. The letter she wanted to write became a lesson intended for her. It began with the words "All that is is of the Mind. The Mind is the Reality," followed another day by "The Mind Is. All else is not." From then on, the floodgates opened. Intriguing messages and vivid dreams taught the nature of reality, the Universe’s creation, and the soul’s ultimate goal, revealing a long-forgotten spiritual quest.

Free Download I Was There: Dispatches from a Life in Rock and Roll (Audiobook)
English | 06 June 2024 | ASIN: B0CMC68W24 | M4B@64 kbps | 8h 25m | 256 MB
Author and Narrator: Alan Edwards
I Was There is a memoir by Alan Edwards, the godfather of modern music PR, whose stellar list of clients has ranged over the years from the Rolling Stones to the Spice Girls via the Stranglers, Blondie, Prince, Britney Spears, Robbie Williams, Amy Winehouse and, outside of music, David Beckham and Naomi Campbell.
Edwards describes getting his break in the mid 1970s as a scruffy, stoned 20-year-old just back from the hippy trail; his encounter with London’s thriving punk scene, which inspired him to set up his own PR company; finding success and broadening his horizons as his work with the likes of Blondie and Bowie takes him to the US and beyond. He brings the listener up to the present day through a series of vivid, funny, always insightful behind the scenes vignettes, whether it’s playing a spontaneous game of football with Bob Marley, listening to Prince discuss the future of civilisation in a nightclub VIP area, or being used as a pawn in the power struggle between Mick Jagger and Keith Richards.

Free Download Phyllis Aronoff, Howard Scott, "Women in a World at War: Seven Dispatches from the Front"
English | 2003 | ISBN: 0889224838 | EPUB | pages: 320 | 1.1 mb
In 1999, poet and novelist Madeleine Gagnon undertook to document the experience of women in the many war zones at the end of a "century of ashes" through their own eyes and in their own words. Her record of those encounters boldly confronts the harshest realities of and asks the most difficult questions about not only the horrors of war, but also the quest for justice, the experience of love and compassion, the inextinguishable hope for the future, and the will to live―the humanity that endures against all odds.

Free Download Gary Brecher, "The War Nerd Dispatches"
English | ASIN : B00KPC3CIU | 2014 | pages | AZW3 | 529 KB
Self-described war nerd Gary Brecher knows he’s not alone, that there’s a legion of fat, lonely Americans, stuck in stupid, paper-pushing desk jobs, who get off on reading about war because they hate their lives. But Brecher writes about war, too. War Nerd collects his most opinionated, enraging, enlightening, and entertaining pieces. Part war commentator, part angry humorist à la Bill Hicks, Brecher inveighs against pieties of all stripes-Liberian generals, Dick Cheney, U.N. peacekeepers, the neo-cons-and the massive incompetence of military powers. A provocative free thinker, he finds much to admire in the most unlikely places, and not always for the most pacifistic reasons: the Tamil Tigers, the Lebanese Hezbollah, the Danes of 1,000 years ago, and so on, across the globe and through the centuries. Crude, scatological, un-P.C., yet deeply informed, Brecher provides a radically different, completely unvarnished perspective on the nature of warfare.

Free Download The Taste of Tomorrow: Dispatches from the Future of Food By Josh Schonwald
2012 | 304 Pages | ISBN: 0061804215 | EPUB | 1 MB
For fans of Michael Pollan and Mark Bittman, Josh Schonwald delivers a fascinating investigation into the trends and technologies that are transforming the world of food before our very eyes-from Alice Waters’s micro farm to nanotechnology and beyond. Building upon the knowledge base we have gained from such books as The Omnivore’s Dilemma, Schonwald takes our contemporary conversation about food a step further, debunking myths, clarifying controversies (such as the current storm over GMOs, or genetically modified organisms), and exploring the wild possibilities that food science and chemical engineering are making realities today-from food pills to new species of scratch-built fish.
