Whatever Happened to Professor Coyote? a journey to the heart of the hand game by Bill Rathbun. In this one-of-a-kind book, the author takes the reader on a journey to the Heart of the Handgame, the fascinating gambling game of song and power known by various names and played by many Indian tribes.
Part myth, part mystery, and part song-book, Whatever Happened to Professor Coyote? teaches the Hand Game through stories and songs. More, it carries the reader through ceremonies and sacred dances, culminating in the Bear Dance where, every year, tribes of human-people and animal-people learn to get along with one another.
Adventure/mystery story and anthropological source material combined, this book carries the reader on wings of myth and song, moving back and forth through ordinary reality to magical moments, singing in Indian time.

Desert Angels by Cynthia Lane Westland is the product of a series of celestial dreams. In the Fall of 1998, over an eight-week period, angels appeared to me in a desert setting to convey messages from the ethereal world. These nocturnal visits, set to the rhythm of poetry, became the basis of the book and my on-going spiritual journey. The messages are expressed in poetry, guided by the angelic voices in my dreams. They urge us to believe in the miracles of life, love, the unseen, and the impossible.
Healthspan by O. Jack Woodard, Jr., M.D. and Genevieve Johnson Woodard skillfully interweaves significant scientific breakthroughs in nutrition, psychoneuroimmunology, and energy medicine with historical perspectives on health, disease, and healing, astonishing case histories, one in the patient’s own words, and stories of the results of applying Healthspan principles in the Woodard’s own lives during times of both triumph and tragedy.
The essential uniqueness of Healthspan is that it is truly holistic and, at the same time, eminently practical. It describes the approach to the 100-year healthspan on all levels of life: physical, mental, and spiritual. (Nothing less will work.) The genius of the book is that it tells how to do all this while confronted by the realities of our time-urgent, noisy, overscheduled, overstressed, and frantic culture. Then comes the crowning achievement: practical instructions on how to have fun while claiming a fabulous birthright!

All people experience pain and suffering, illness and death, depression and anxiety, fear and worry, hunger and thirst, failures and successes, and love and happiness. Why don’t human beings work together to alleviate the sufferings and pain of each other rather than fight and kill one another? In addressing this issue, the author has looked at India as an example. India is a microcosm of the world with its multiple languages, races, colors and caste system. Why hasn’t a country like India progressed as a developed nation with its vast resources, including the human resource? There are no easy answers to this question. The author explores some facets of Indian life and looks at alternative approaches.
The book attempts to challenge people to grow and develop. It is an invitation to objectivity and verifiable truths that are accessible to all, easy to understand and put into practice. To that end, The Rainbow of Hope opens up a huge reservoir for action. Ultimately, it is action that will transport the nation of India into a just, progressive and developed society in the 21st century where all citizens can live up to their potential without discrimination.
