In a context of disciplinary division between human and physical geography, the book seeks to reassert the unity of the field through an emphasis on a shared focus on the geographic configuration of things and how and why configuration is important.It first examines previous approaches to reestablishing unity, and why they have failed, before moving on to an explanation of fundamental differences in what is being studied and how. The role of configuration looms large in both. This is in the sense of contingency and the idea of emergence, suggesting that reconstruction of unity can proceed through an exchange of models of understanding. This book will appeal to those teaching courses or seminars in geographic thought or in the history of geographic thought.

Nothing is more important than other people. Near-death experiences affirms this fact. Why? Because God is manifest within other people; and how we treat other people is how we treat God. Loving other people unconditionally is the goal for every human being because God is love, and love is God. How we treat other people will determine exactly which afterlife realm we will inhabit after death. Those people who love others the most will inhabit the highest heaven. In other words, the afterlife is about deeds - not creeds - and loving others unconditioinally is where God is manifest the most. Giving and receiving love is what produces heaven - it's the only thing we can take with us after death. Loving others is heaven. And love is joy The more love we have for other people, the more joy we have in our lives. And there are a multidude of heavens of varying degree of love and joy, so that no one goes where they are unwelcome or do not fit in. Birds of a feather flock together. This book reveals the importance of loving others. Three exceptional near-death experiences are provided to make this point. The author's research conclusions includes topis such as the Earth as the "School of Hard Knocks;" the problem of war and evil; the death process; the soul as an orb; the homecoming experienced by NDErs; the intense emoptions experienced in NDEs; forgotten knowledge people receive during their NDE; and a description of some of the afterlife realms. This book also includes articles from the author's website showing how love is supreme when it dcomes to NDEs.
Nothing Greater Than Love: The Scientific, Psychological, Parapsychological, Philosophical, Reincarnational, and Religious Evidence of the Afterlife

There is a myth that has been spread around America since the 1960s that goes something like this: "The Democrats were all a bunch of conservatives, and the Republicans were all a bunch of liberals, up until the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Then, overnight, everybody switched their political party so that the conservatives were now Republicans and the liberals were now Democrats. Therefore, all the bad stuff in the South that happened in American history was done by conservatives, who are today's Republicans." There are two kinds of people in this debate: (1) the liberal Democrats who want to wash-away the sins of their political party's history and are more than willing to keep that myth alive; and (2) the scholars, historians, conservatives, Republicans, and independents who know better. Eleven out of sixteen Southern States formed a democratic confederacy for a short time when they militarily opposed our republican form of government (including our constitutional Electoral College). The history of all these Southern States is not so convenient that one can simply say, "the conservatives were always the bad guys." Another part of this myth is that "all the racists were conservatives from the South," which is still used as propaganda in today's liberal politics. The truth of the matter is that the Grand Old (Republican) Party was always the party of conservative politics, abolition, de-segregation, human and civil rights (for all citizens), individual and corporate freedoms, and free (anti-monopolist) markets going back to its first iteration with Thomas Jefferson and James Madison and up to the present. The liberal politics of the Federalists and the Democrats had been a part of Northern and Southern politics since the beginning of our nation, with the goal of democratizing the United States for the sake of a majority rule. In terms of magical overnight party-swapping, that never happened in American history. There were two periods before 1964 when the South voted mostly for the Republican Party at the federal level. In State politics, the South as a whole would be a single-party apparatus until long after 1964. The gradual transition of the South (whether we are talking about the whole South, the "Solid South," or the "Deep South") toward Republican Party politics that we see today did not take full effect until the 21st century, and it had absolutely nothing to do with race politics. Part 1 of "When the South Switched Parties" delves into the early history of the United States of America that leads up to World War I. That history alone dispels the whole "party-switching" myth that is propagated today. This part is sub-titled "Regressing Forward" as a contrast to the "conservative progressivism" that the Grand Old Party (GOP) had been engaging in despite the Democratic Party politics of the North and South. Part 2 of "When the South Switched Parties" is sub-titled "Sixty-Four" and focuses on the takeover of liberal and the Democratic Party politics in America that was seeded between 1912-1920 and that then became a juggernaut for sixty-four years straight into the 1990s. After reading both Part 1 and Part 2, you should have a full sense of factual American history that completely dispels the propaganda/myth that "conservatives are the bad guys, going back to the pre-1964 Democratic Party days."

Nothing Better Than Death: Insights from Sixty-Two Profound Near-Death Experiences
Kevin R. Williams

Nothing Better Than Death, by Kevin R. Williams, provides the full near-death testimonies (NDEs) of nine extraordinary experiencers along with summaries of fifty-three of the most profound near-death experiences documented. The author has gleaned insights involving thirteen categories of research conclusions about such topics as pre-existence, life, humanity, religion, spirituality, the future, science, God, heaven, hell, spirit guides, music, time, and reincarnation. A defense of near-death testimony in light of Christian doctrine is presented which proves that NDEs are not unscriptural, are not of the devil, that NDEs and the Bible affirm God is unconditional love, that NDEs and the Bible affirm universal salvation, and that NDEs and the Bible affirm the reality of reincarnation. The Appendix of this book presents the following sections: (a) Notes from this book, (b) A complete NDE bibliography, and (c) Information about the author. The title of this book originated from a profound insight found in NDE testimony which is that NDEs reveal how death is the greatest blessing human beings can ever experience. According to a great number of people who have had an NDE, there is nothing better on Earth than death. One experiencer, Dianne Morrissey said, "If I lived a billion years more, in my body or yours, there's not a single experience on Earth that could ever be as good as being dead. Nothing." Kevin R. Williams is the webmaster of "Near-Death Experiences and the Afterlife" at www.near-death.com.
Thomas Jefferson - Revolutionary: A Radical's Struggle to Remake America
Kevin R. C. Gutzman

"In this lively and clearly written book, Kevin Gutzman makes a compelling case for the broad range and radical ambitions of Thomas Jefferson's commitment to human equality." - Alan Taylor, Pulitzer Prize winning author of American Revolutions: A Continental History, 1750-1804 Though remembered chiefly as author of the Declaration of Independence and the president under whom the Louisiana Purchase was effected, Thomas Jefferson was a true revolutionary in the way he thought about the size and reach of government, which Americans were full citizens and the role of education in the new country. In Thomas Jefferson - Revolutionary, Kevin Gutzman gives readers a new view of Jefferson--a revolutionary who effected radical change in a growing country. Jefferson's philosophy about the size and power of the federal system almost completely undergirded the Jeffersonian Republican Party. His forceful advocacy of religious freedom was not far behind, as were attempts to incorporate Native Americans into American society. His establishment of the University of Virginia might be one of the most important markers of the man's abilities and character. However, he was not without flaws. While he argued for the assimilation of Native Americans into society, he did not assume the same for Africans being held in slavery while--at the same time--insisting that slavery should cease to exist. Many still accuse Jefferson of hypocrisy on the ground that he both held that "all men are created equal" and held men as slaves. Jefferson's true character, though, is more complex than that as Kevin Gutzman shows in his new book about Jefferson, a revolutionary whose accomplishments went far beyond the drafting of the Declaration of Independence.
