  Alexandra Bruce’s new book 2012 Science or Superstition is based on December 21, 2012: the end date of the sophisticated Long Count Calendar created by the ancient Maya in Central America. Countless websites, magazine articles, and newspaper headlines debate its meaning, with enthusiasts in two camps: those forecasting apocalypse and those who see a coming renewal—a rebirth of consciousness. How much of what we're hearing is science and how much is superstition? Clearing a path between fantasy and reality, Alexandra Bruce surveys the entire 2012 landscape, asking questions such as: Is the Earth losing its Mojo? How did 2012 come to mean "The End of Time"? Did psychedelics facilitate the Maya "Cosmovision"? Should we worry about Earth Crustal Displacement? What is "Planet X"? Bruce surveys the leading researchers, writers, and scientists in the field, who tell us exactly what this date means to them, why it's important, and what we should expect. Alexandra Bruce's articles on urban legends, metaphysical and quantum physics themes have been published in Paranoia Magazine, Steamshovel Press, Borderland Sciences and Disinfo.com. She is the author of Beyond The Bleep: The Definitive Unauthorized Guide To 'What The Bleep Do We Know!? and Beyond The Secret: The Definitive Unauthorized Guide To 'The Secret'. www.2012sos.net/the-book/

  An American Woman in Search for God, Family, and Country with author Mary T. Ficalora

  Author Mary T. Ficalora was raised in a devout Roman Catholic family that spent most nights at the dinner table arguing religion and politics. It was during the 1960s and 1970s, amidst anti-war, pro-civil rights, and women’s liberation movements, that she found her voice. She has followed up her childhood debate-training with independent studies in a wide range of esoteric, historical and political areas of thought. The product of her journey has produced a controversial new book, Choosing Honor: An American Woman’s Search for God, Family, and Country in an Age of Corruption. Mary embraces a pro-active, defiant tone, imploring Americans to wake up and take back the country. She rails against the Federal Reserve and what she calls The Money Power. She argues against all wars, especially the Iraq War. She also believes that all too often religion has been a destructive force in society. Mary T. Ficalora has been coordinator and online producer for Professional Psych Seminars in Southern California. She received a Seattle Emmy nomination for producing and directing the KXLY Video Rock Off and has a Producing Fellow certificate from the American Film Institute Center for Advanced Film and Television Production. www.availpress.com

  Do we Plan our Lives Before Birth? with author Robert Schwartz

  Interview with the author of the book Courageous Souls: Do We Plan Our Life Challenges Before Birth? with author Robert Schwartz explores the premise that we are all eternal souls who plan our lives, including our greatest challenges, before we’re born for purposes of spiritual growth. The book contains ten true stories of people who planned physical illness, having handicapped children, deafness, blindness, drug addiction, alcoholism, losing a loved one, and severe accidents. The information about their pre-birth plans was obtained by four gifted mediums and channels, including one who has the ability both to see and to hear the dialogue we have with one another before we’re born. www.courageoussouls.com

  Healing Women in Prison with author Veronica Shaffer

  The growing number of women in prison has alarmed taxpayers, child welfare advocates, human rights activists, and policy makers. Veronica A. Shaffer, the author of the new book, I Hear Your Cry: Women in Prison, takes readers into the heart of a women's prison, where Shaffer went to teach prisoners skills designed to release them from their emotional and physical jails. Her belief that the benefits of yoga and meditation could empower women who had experienced powerlessness and trauma, kept her pushing to establish a fitness and wellness program at a prison, despite bureaucratic obstacles, a less than ideal teaching environment, and an initially skeptical group of security officers and students. Shaffer graduated from Johns Hopkins Hospital as a radiologic technologists and later studied the healing arts with noted teacher Elizabeth Stratton. She achieved certification as a yoga practitioner and teacher, and in 1984 began a long, happy marriage to Edward Shaffer. She has also led spiritual odysseys to Egypt, Nepal, Tibet and India. www.veronicashaffer.com
