A history of mystic resistance and liberation and of five women who transcended the expected to transform America. For centuries, women who emerge as mystic leaders have played vital roles in American culture. For just as long, they’ve been subjugated and ridiculed. Today, women and others across the nation are once again turning to their mystic powers to #HexThePatriarchy and help fight the forces that seem bent on relegating them to second-class citizenry. Amid this tumult, Lucile Scott looks to the past and the stories of five women over three centuries to form an ancestral spiritual coven: Marie Laveau, the Voodoo Queen of New Orleans; Cora L. V. Scott, nineteenth-century Spiritualist superstar; Helena Blavatsky, mother of Theosophy; Zsuzsanna Budapest, feminist witch and founder of Dianic Wicca; and Marianne Williamson, presidential candidate and preacher of the New Age Gospel of Love. Each, in their own ways, defied masculine preconceptions about power. A scathing queer feminist history and a personal quest for transcendence, An American Covenant opens our eyes to the paths forged by women who inspired the nation in their own times—and who will no longer be forgotten or silenced in ours.

In ""Understanding Camilo Jose Cela"", Lucile C. Charlebois examines the 1989 Nobel laureate's ten most important novels. She shows that in addition to being unequivocally Spanish in their concerns, characters and imagery the novels speak to the larger world with their compendium of insights into the most basic human needs, desires and fears. Drawing upon Cela's childhood, participation in the Spanish Civil War and life in Spain during and after Franco's dictatorship, Charlebois shows that in spite of the repression that beset his homeland during so much of his career, Cela successfully developed his penchant for technical experimentation and creative renewal. In addition to identifying his favoured stylistic devices and thematic concerns, she provides close readings of the novelist's textured discourses, which bristle with fragmentation and ambiguity, hilarity and profanity, iconoclasm and alienation.

HERE is a book of which it can truly be said that the cost of not reading it may be beyond your means. All you have to ask yourself to decide that point in advance is whether you are satisfied with your investment record; or whether you recall with a shudder the times you have bought securities near the highs of their cyclical price ranges, or sold some near the lows. Formula plans are to investor's emotions what governors are to engines devices to keep both from running away with themselves. Bull markets result when avarice overcomes fear. Bear markets come about when conditions are the opposite. Formula plans in one way or another compel their adherents to act on the principle that half a loaf is better than no bread before the dominant speculative emotion changes. _________________ Miss Tomlinson ends her discussion of this ultra simple investment formula with the striking sentence: "No one has yet discovered any other formula for investing which can be used with so much confidence of ultimate success, regardless of what may happen to security prices, as Dollar Cost Averaging." Benjamin Graham, The Intelligent Investor
