Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the 1950s, men and women around the world have claimed to have had contact with human-like visitors from space. This book explores how the "contactee" subculture has critiqued political, social and cultural trends in the United States, Europe and elsewhere. Not merely quaint relics of the 1950s Atomic Age, contactees have continued their messages of transformation into the 21st century. Regardless of whether these alleged contacts took the form of physical meetings or channeled paranormal psychic communications, or whether they actually happened at all, contactees have provided a consistently relevant source of commentary on this world and beyond.

Book excerpt: Judd, upon returning from the hell called War, found himself in another hell in the Nation he called home. A thriving web of human trafficking, child sex rings, and child slavery. A Global market where the blood of innocents were bought and sold, daily. ... The Playground of the Rich. Only this time, it was not Emperors, Kings or Queens conducting their Orchestra of Evil. No ... this was new. A battlefield called "America". The new Merchants of Flesh? Politicians. Bankers. Celebrities. Corporate Giants. The Clientele? One and the same. However, one of these people had crossed the line ... The Lady in Red, that is. She had awakened something in Judd. Something very ... old. So who was she? More importantly who ... rather, what was Judd? The Lady in Red" was the "name" assigned to her by Judd's goddaughter, his best friend's youngest child ... who said it first, in fear of, "The Lady in Red," she had called this ... female ... after being abducted and brutalized by this woman in a red, professional dress. She had asked of her mother, "Mommy, is the lady in red coming back?" The real question to be asked here is "What" was coming ... The Madness of Lazurus has begun.

Book excerpt: The American Dream is alive despite the systemic violence, injustice and inequality of society. However, pragmatic philosophy, the love of nature, and transcendental values embody a more realistic and naturalistic view of the world. American Capitalism conflicts with the ideals of democracy and the myths of society. Conservative beliefs about evolution, global climate change and the moral, political and economic problems of society maintain the status quo. A divided country tears at the fabric of justice, equality and compassion. A passionate sense of reality inspires this book. The path forward needs a simpler way of living informed by ethics, a sacred sense of the real world, and freedom from suffering for all beings. Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, for all the people, remain the supreme ideals of American democracy. We need not give up on The American Dream, if The People, All the people, have an equal opportunity for self-realization in the real world.

Book excerpt: American Zeitgeist is a collection of dramatic monologues about the life and career of William Jennings Bryan, the Great Commoner, from his rise as populist hero of the Democratic Party in the 19th century to his ignominious end at the Scopes Monkey Trial in 1925. Related mostly in the voice of a fictional contemporary named Jefferson Powers, a journalist, and framed by lectures on Bryan and the Progressive Era by a fictional modern-day History professor, Jefferson Lynn, the arc of this narrative serves as commentary on the American spirit and should be read as historical fiction. As the writer David Mitchell (Cloud Atlas, The Bone Clocks) notes, the popularity of historical fiction lies in its double narrative thrust. It "delivers a stereo narrative," Mitchell writes, "from one speaker comes the treble of the novel's own plot while the other speaker plays the bass of history's plot." American Zeitgeist conforms to this model. This is a page-turner that delivers history and drama in equal measure.

Book excerpt: Trying to figure out how to connect with customers when traditional marketing has lost much of its value, and why connecting is a whole lot more than todays buzzword? This is the book for you. Kelly Erickson, author of Maximum Customer Experience Most people know that branding is the most effective marketing strategy to build a long-term relationship with a dedicated group of customers. But many of us forget about the zeitgeist. The zeitgeist is the evolving collective consciousness of society, and it is what people are talking about. Its what determines trends and buying behaviors. Companies can tap into the power of the zeitgeist by providing customers with the tools they need to spread marketing messages through word-of-mouth and other viral channels. Chris Houchens, a marketing expert, uses real-world examples to show how branding works. Discover: Methods to craft and hone messages How to make the most out of first impressions Ways to harness groupthink The importance of logos and visual brand elements How to use social media How to measure the effectiveness of branding efforts And much more! If you have no idea how to create a marketing strategy or if you just need a fresh perspective on branding, then Brand Zeitgeist is for you.
