The Traveling Medicine Show: Pitchmen & Plant Healers of Early Americaby Jesse Wolf Hardin Plant Healer PressFull color - 104 pages 8x11 - $24 Reasd the truth about the largely wonderful if oft maligned Traveling Medicine Show, the unfortunate shift from plant medicines to harmful pharmaceuticals, and the benefits and joys of resurgent herbalism in this modern age.... in a book as beautiful as it is fascinating, filled with over 500 lovely vintage and contemporary illustrations."Step right up, and please loan me your ears," a spiel might begin. "It is I, a doctor to the common people, your maestro of popular music and entertainment, alchemist of wellbeing and conveyor of necessary remedies for a well balanced and fruitful life... asking each of you now: when it comes to health and healing, who could possibly know better than Mother Nature?" The silver tongued speaker might be alone, traveling only with a wide range of herbal products in his painted wagon, or else part of a troupe that not only shilled but entertained. What followed, might be a "scientific" or medical lecture, a magic act, musicians or comedians, providing not only bottled remedies but also a darn good time Although exceedingly popular from the early 1800s until the 1930s, the Traveling Medicine Shows and other herbal sellers were often unfairly maligned in their times, and today are most likely to be trivialized. Read here the truth about these alternative healthcare providers and their plant medicine allies, from traveling herbalist showmen like Indian John and the Diamond King, to the once best known woman in America, Lydia Pinkham. A large number of such folks were not only medicine sellers but also medicine makers, gathering or growing the potent plants for tinctures, decoctions, and tonics that could effectively treat a large percentage of common illnesses and conditions. Then as now, herbal nostrums provided a reasonable alternative to seeing a costly licensed physician and to the all too frequently dangerous drugs that they prescribed, for a majority of common conditions. For the lovers of historic Americana, Steampunk sensibilities and wondrous curiosities, this book seeks to provide entertainment worthy of the early Traveling Medicine Shows themselves. And for anyone interested in herbalism, medicinal plants, personal health or the art of healing, it provides inspiration as well as information, feeding what is most certainly a new folk herbal resurgence.

"'We're all scientists/replicating the same test/indefinitely, ' writes Jesse Rey Whipple in his collection of haiku. Each poem tests the nature of love, loss, sorrow and insight, and through the passage of seasons detailed in 3-line shards, Whipple reveals the complex mosaic of his life. The Ferris Wheel takes readers on a journey from experience to innocence and back again." -Joyce Peseroff, author of The Hardness Scale "Jesse Rey Whipple is an intelligent and perceptive writer, but more important is that he seems to have overcome a great deal of hardship and pain. Through the pages of this book, it becomes apparent that he is still here, transcending the darkness of the past and trying to find goodness and "God." My hope for him, as for his readers and myself, is that we continue to recover from our illnesses and are led toward health and wholeness and light. Jesse's unabashed struggle to move into the light is palpable here, and while his path may not always be straight, I believe he's on his way." -Aaron Weiss, songwriter of mewithoutYou This is the sort of book that takes shape and develops by being quantum entangled with the author's life. It mirrors every dent, each soft momentary curving detour, every dark crevice, and each gleaming victorious peak set against all the desolation and existential terror that our days and nights are plagued with and spent fleeing from by burying our heads in drink to avoid caving in and being swallowed by the gaping maw. The poems presented here are snapshots that allow for an understanding of the lens through which a vivid spirit has been driven to view the world, thereby allowing one unafraid of such vulnerability to actually experience a connection with an aspect of the Human Soul. This collection contains 499 poems.
There have been few true examples of the use of non-violent political campaigns since Gandhi developed his technique of satyagraha. Given the obvious benefits of non-violence, this begs the question why. Satyagraha answers this question by showing that the technique of satyagraha is religious as well as moral and political, and that this religious element is one of the factors that have made Gandhian non-violence difficult to understand or truly believe in, especially in the West where the sacred and secular are considered to be separate. If non-violent politics are to be practised in the twenty-first century and beyond, then full recognition and consideration must be given to this aspect of non-violence.
A fictional recounting of the little-known true story of the first woman to ever set foot on Antarctica, and her extraordinary fight to get there. A fictional recounting of the little-known true story of the first woman to ever set foot on Antarctica, and her extraordinary fight to get there. It's the early 1930s. Antarctic open-sea whaling is booming and a territorial race for the mysterious continent between Norwegian and British-Australian interests is in full swing. Aboard a ship setting sail from Cape town carrying the Norwegian whaling magnate Lars Christensen are three women: Lillemor Rachlew, who tricked her way on to the ship and will stop at nothing to be the first woman to land on Antarctica; Mathilde Wegger, a grieving widow who's been forced to join the trip by her calculating parents-in-law; and Lars's wife, Ingrid Christensen, who has longed to travel to Antarctica since she was a girl and has made a daunting bargain with Lars to convince him to take her. Loyalties shift and melt and conflicts increase as they pass through the Southern Ocean and reach the whaling grounds. None of the women is prepared for the reality of meeting the whaling fleet and experiencing firsthand the brutality of the icy world. As they head for the continent itself, the race is on for the first woman to land on Antarctica. None of them expect the outcome and none of them know how they will be changed by their arrival. Based on the little-known true story of the first woman to ever set foot on Antarctica, Jesse Blackadder has captured the drama, danger and magnetic pull of exploring uncharted places in our world and our minds.
NATIONAL BESTSELLERA GLOBE AND MAIL BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR Unreconciled is one hell of a good book. Jesse Wente's narrative moves effortlessly from the personal to the historical to the contemporary. Very powerful, and a joy to read.--Thomas King, author of The Inconvenient Indian and Sufferance A prominent Indigenous voice uncovers the lies and myths that affect relations between white and Indigenous peoples and the power of narrative to emphasize truth over comfort. Part memoir and part manifesto, Unreconciled is a stirring call to arms to put truth over the flawed concept of reconciliation, and to build a new, respectful relationship between the nation of Canada and Indigenous peoples. Jesse Wente remembers the exact moment he realized that he was a certain kind of Indian--a stereotypical cartoon Indian. He was playing softball as a child when the opposing team began to war-whoop when he was at bat. It was just one of many incidents that formed Wente's understanding of what it means to be a modern Indigenous person in a society still overwhelmingly colonial in its attitudes and institutions. As the child of an American father and an Anishinaabe mother, Wente grew up in Toronto with frequent visits to the reserve where his maternal relations lived. By exploring his family's history, including his grandmother's experience in residential school, and citing his own frequent incidents of racial profiling by police who'd stop him on the streets, Wente unpacks the discrepancies between his personal identity and how non-Indigenous people view him. Wente analyzes and gives voice to the differences between Hollywood portrayals of Indigenous peoples and lived culture. Through the lens of art, pop culture, and personal stories, and with disarming humour, he links his love of baseball and movies to such issues as cultural appropriation, Indigenous representation and identity, and Indigenous narrative sovereignty. Indeed, he argues that storytelling in all its forms is one of Indigenous peoples' best weapons in the fight to reclaim their rightful place. Wente explores and exposes the lies that Canada tells itself, unravels the two founding nations myth, and insists that the notion of reconciliation is not a realistic path forward. Peace between First Nations and the state of Canada can't be recovered through reconciliation--because no such relationship ever existed.

The Political Economy of News in China: Manufacturing Harmony is the first full-scale application of Herman and Chomsky’s classic propaganda model to the news media content of a country with a system that is not outwardly similar to the United States. Jesse Owen Hearns-Branaman examines the news media of the People’s Republic of China using the five filters of the original model. He asks provocative questions concerning the nature of media ownership, the effect of government or private ownership on media content, the elite-centered nature news sourcing patterns, the benefits and costs of having active special interest groups to influence news coverage, the continued usefulness of the concepts of censorship and propaganda, the ability of advertisers to indirectly influence news production, and the potential increase of pro-capitalist, pro-consumerist ideology and nationalism in Chinese news media. This book will appeal to scholars of international media and journalism.
How should a principled nation which believes in the benefits of mutually beneficial trade respond to the predations of mercantilist trading partners and imbalanced trade? Many argue that the response should be to do little or nothing. Balanced Trade argues that achieving the full benefits of international trade requires an effective response. Although trade deficits provide short-term gains in consumption, these are combined with long-term losses in consumption, innovation, investment, employment and power. Furthermore, market mechanisms do not correct trade imbalances that result from mercantilism, nor do they compensate for the long term shift in production and consumption towards the mercantilist. Balancing trade can make important short run and long run contributions to economic stability and prosperity. In America today, despite the growing evidence that imbalanced free trade is not working, many American economists remain adamant in their promotion of free trade. They are also quick to label actions taken to balance trade as protectionism. The political system has also failed to effectively address the problem of imbalanced trade, and the Federal Reserve has often exacerbated rather than addressed the challenge. We show that the classical economic arguments against mercantilism do not justify doing nothing. Effectively responding to imbalanced trade and mercantilism requires careful selection of strategy in order to achieve multiple objectives: balancing trade while maintaining the benefits of international trade, avoiding unnecessary inefficiencies, and maintaining compliance with international law. One of the best options is the Scaled Tariff. By targeting countries with which the United States has a large current account deficit, the Scaled Tariff would efficiently, legally, and effectively balance trade. It would be applied to all imported goods from trade surplus countries that have had a sizable trade surplus with the United States over the most recent four economic quarters.The tariff rate would be designed to take in a portion (e.g. 50%) of the bilateral trade deficit (goods plus services) as revenue. No particular product is protected; the scaled tariff simply changes the terms of trade between the two countries, much as currency devaluation would change the terms of trade with all countries.
