      Many people obstruct their innate potential through repeated patterns of emotional struggle and suffering. This practical, hands-on guide explains why and how people habitually fall into this trap and provides a program, easily incorporated into everyday life, that frees them from this destructive behavior. Using a simple mandala, the book illustrates the four places humans go when they feel threatened, uncomfortable, or aren’t fully centered or grounded in the present moment. Like a trail of pebbles left behind on a hike, it helps trace the path back to the authentic self. Drawing on his three decades of teaching consciousness, Richard Moss plays the role of wise shepherd, accompanying and encouraging the reader on a journey toward the genius within and away from fear and other limitations. Most importantly, he offers an always-available compass that directs readers back to the true self, and into the magic of the present moment.

      The book explores the emergence of New Ethnicity in 1970s America, focusing on its influence on politics and culture, particularly the rise of the New Right. Initially a movement aimed at voicing discontent among the working poor and fostering community, it ultimately adopted an alienating rhetoric that supported a conservative agenda. The narrative examines how this shift impacted societal dynamics and the political landscape of the era.

      The Macintosh challenged games to be more than child's play and quick reflexes. It made human-computer interaction friendly, inviting and intuitive. Mac gaming led to much that is now taken for granted by PC gamers and spawned some of the biggest franchises in video game history. Drawing on archive material and interviews with key figures from the era - and featuring new material from Craig Fryar, Apple's first Mac games evangelist and the co-creator of hit game Spectre - this is the story of those communities and the game developers who survived and thrived in an ecosystem that was serially ignored by the outside world

      The Secret History of Mac Gaming
    • At the dawn of the world, within the Garden of Eden, the bite of an apple came with more consequences than sin. Time was created, and humanity has struggled to organise it ever since. Our most notable construct, time, has dictated how humans live - dividing ourselves between work, family, and leisure - and changes to time management can be traced through the centuries and the decades. Everything revolves around time, but Richard Moss' central concern is the notion of free time and how we spend it. This book wanders through time, examining concepts of work and idleness, attempting to understand how time came to be, how it has changed, and, at a time when "free" time has never been greater, just what Americans are spending it all on.

      Featuring numerous interviews with creators and developers, Shareware Heroes is a comprehensive, meticulously researched exploration of an important and too-long overlooked chapter in video game history Shareware Heroes: Independent Games at the Dawn of the Internet takes readers on a journey, from the beginnings of the shareware model in the early 1980s, the origins of the concept, even the name itself, and the rise of shareware's major players - the likes of id Software, Apogee, and Epic MegaGames - through to the significance of shareware for the 'forgotten' systems - the Mac, Atari ST, Amiga - when commercial game publishers turned away from them. This book also charts the emergence of commercial shareware distributors like Educorp and the BBS/newsgroup sharing culture. And it explores how shareware developers plugged gaps in the video gaming market by creating games in niche and neglected genres like vertically-scrolling shoot-'em-ups (e.g. Raptor and Tyrian) or racing games (e.g. Wacky Wheels and Skunny Kart) or RPGs (God of Thunder and Realmz), until finally, as the video game market again grew and shifted, and major publishers took control, how the shareware system faded into the background and fell from memory.
