For more than a decade, the UCLA dynasty defined college basketball. In twelve seasons from 1964 to 1975, John Wooden's teams won ten national titles, including seven consecutive championships. The Bruins made history by breaking numerous records, but they also rose to prominence during a turbulent age of political unrest and youthful liberation. When Lew Alcindor and Bill Walton--the most famous college basketball players of their generation--spoke out against racism, poverty, and the Vietnam War, they carved out a new role for athletes, casting their actions on and off the court in a political light. The Sons of Westwood tells the story of the most significant college basketball program at a pivotal period in American cultural history. It weaves together a story of sports and politics in an era of social and cultural upheaval, a time when college students and college athletes joined the civil rights movement, demonstrated against the Vietnam War, and rejected the dominant Cold War culture. This is the story of America's culture wars played out on the basketball court by some of college basketball's most famous players and its most memorable coach.

With Rio, Maia, Tana, Jade, and Mabe on her side, Enid and their mates track down a Lorekeeper who might be able to help. Spiritwalker Judge Dusek is a trained guide helping magic users navigate their paths. It doesn’t hurt that he’s sexy-as-sin, but will his pushy, blunt ways be too much for the soft-spoken witch?

A provocative and revelatory new biography of the legendary UCLA coach John Wooden, by one of America's top college basketball writers No college basketball coach has ever dominated the sport like John Wooden. His UCLA teams reached unprecedented heights in the 1960s and '70s capped by a run of ten NCAA championships in twelve seasons and an eighty-eight-game winning streak, records that stand to this day. Wooden also became a renowned motivational speaker and writer, revered for his "Pyramid of Success." Seth Davis of Sports Illustrated and CBS Sports has written the definitive biography of Wooden, an unflinching portrait that draws on archival research and more than two hundred interviews with players, opponents, coaches, and even Wooden himself. Davis shows how hard Wooden strove for success, from his All-American playing days at Purdue through his early years as a high school and college coach to the glory days at UCLA, only to discover that reaching new heights brought new burdens and frustrations. Davis also reveals how at the pinnacle of his career Wooden found himself on questionable ground with alumni, referees, assistants, and even some of his players. His was a life not only of lessons taught, but also of lessons learned. Woven into the story as well are the players who powered Wooden's championship teams – Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Bill Walton, Walt Hazzard, and others – many of whom speak frankly about their coach. The portrait that emerges from Davis's remarkable biography is of a man in full, whose life story still resonates today.

This book examines how and why practitioners of nature religion - Western witches, druids, shamans - seek to relate spiritually with nature through 'magical consciousness'. 'Magic' and 'consciousness' are concepts that are often fraught with prejudice and ambiguity respectively. Greenwood develops a new theory of magical consciousness by arguing that magic ultimately has more to do with the workings of the human mind in terms of an expanded awareness than with socio-cultural explanations. She combines her own subjective insights gained from magical practice with practitioners' in-depth accounts and sustained academic theory on the process of magic. She also tracks magical consciousness in philosophy, myth, folklore, story-telling, and the hi-tech discourse of postmodernity, and asks important questions concerning nature religion's environmental credentials, such as whether it as inherently ecological as many of its practitioners claim.

Is it possible that almost everything that we were taught from the time of our innocent adolescence and as children to the completion of our chosen path of studies in college was not only incorrect but was part of an educational doctrine of spiritual disconnectedness from what truth is and what our reality is in the world that we occupy today. What if I told you that this is but a small capsule in a puzzle that was well planned and engineered by a world control system to propagate a catalog of theoretical science that, in some cases, have never ever been proven to this date nor ever will be ascertained as fact. Humanity appears to have been hoodwinked into a dumber state of who we are and where we came from. Are we unique in a geocentric world or are we in a heliocentric mode of how our world operates, just as Copernicus suggested in his works in 1543? Interestingly enough, Copernicus never wanted to publish any of his works because he didnt believe in the spinning ball earth either. It was only after his death when the totality of his heliocentric global model was presented to the world control system, who are related to the two hundred fallen angels who revolted against God in the third heaven about 4,500 years ago. The irony behind this is that the Romans and the Jews killed Christ over two thousand years ago, and the very same agenda continues to manifest itself through the Jesuits (IHS) and the ancient tribes of Israel, who always seem to have the worlds currency as the power to continue their ideas of world domination and use the vast resources at their disposal to create the worlds dominant religion called science or scientism. Anything that our creator said in the Holy Bible is always at the polar opposite of what science suggests. A real nefariously planned agenda that has gone on for 474 years seems to be threatened to become full disclosure of the biggest lie in the history of mankind that is kept by the worlds oldest secret society called the Freemasons. The very uniqueness of humankind was spelled out correctly by our Creator. The earth was the center of the universe that he created, and the sun and the moon, as well as the stars and constellations, revolve around the earth, with Polaris being the north magnetic pole fixed star. The delusional unproven cobwebs of hypotheses of assumptions and guesses concerning most sciences and psychics tries to further the deception through mathematical equations of utter nonsense with any unproven characteristics to ascertain any validity of reality. A void of truth exists then and now but has created a Star Wars type of illusion that actually doesnt even exist. How could space possibly exist when you and I have never in our entire lives ever seen a real photo of what our own world looks like? All space agencies are part of the cover-up because they are also Freemasons. It is my conclusion that space is fake and NASA was set up to further the deception and even admit that images of earth are composites and computer-generated images. Since 1958, NASA has literally force-fed us and continued their trickery, sorcery, wizardry, and being only the god of oneself. Yet they cannot get to a high enough altitude to provide humanity with one single photo of what the very shape of our world is. I believe strongly in the very senses that God gave all of us, and instinctively, our senses are usually 99 percent right. My book will help those awakening sheep remove the dark shades from this massive deception, and for those who are unwilling or unable to think past their noses, then those sheep will remain asleep. My book is part of the great awakening from pseudoscience that has put man living in a Newtonian world of Einstein physics ruled by Frankenstein logic. The game is over. The consciousness shift of stupidity is because of a poisonous indoctrination to separate your soul and reality from truth and knowledge, but hold tight, folks. A real awakening is happening all over the world.
