"Fascinating, well researched and finely honed... This is a must read." -- Judge Peggy F. Hora, California BenchOnce upon a time in America, morphine and cocaine were routinely sold in pharmacies, and "hop heads" gathered in shadowy basements to smoke opium. So begins Hep-Cats, Narcs, and Pipe Dreams, Jill Jonnes's ground-breaking history of illegal drugs in America. Jonnes vividly traces our first turn-of-the-century drug epidemic, successfully quelled, and then follows the story into the postwar era: starting in the jazz world of the northern cities and moving through the "flower power" 1960s to the cocaine and crack explosion of the 1980s and 1990s.

Reading Time Online review by Romi Sharp http://readingtime.com.au/the-sea-cat-dreams/I am adding The Sea Cat Dreams as a good resource in my new book, "Life and Loss" [3rd edition]. Linda Goldman, FT, MS counselling, ME early childhood education, LCPC, NBCC www.childrensgrief.netI would definitely use The Sea Cat Dreams with my clients, young and old. Youla Overbey MA, LLPCThe Sea Cat Dreams is a book I would wholeheartedly recommend. Claire Casha, Master in Family Studies, over ten years' experience of family therapy. Clinicians who treat children coping with change... will want to keep this book on their bookshelf [as] a valuable resource ... I highly recommend [it]. Barbara Cunningham, Psy.D., MFTreview by Jennifer DouglasWhat can I say about The Sea Cat Dreams but Wow! The realism of [Muza Ulasowski's] work puts the reader right ... within the book. She truly is an artist to be adored. The message of love and loss is hidden nicely within the adventures of the life of this cat but is clear enough for it to be addressed should the need arise. Coping with change also speaks clearly within this book and would be great used with a child who is sensitive to change in their lives. This book captivates, elates and moves. This is a book that shows the high quality that is available in children's literature. Review by Dr. Virginia LowePoulter's text is in gentle rhyming verse, and Ulasowski's paintings are rich and realistic. It is valuable for children to have picture books covering all aspects of life (and death).
Dreams are a window into the subconscious, and for those who understand their meanings, they are also a crucial step in self-understanding.

From visions of angels to trips to the zoo, from buying a dream home to escaping from demons, Eason catalogs 1,001 scenarios, exploring different types of dreams, practical symbolic meanings, dreams’ psychological underpinnings and spiritual significance, and all the ways in which dreams can be interpreted as warnings or indicators of events to come. Along with a fascinating introduction to dreams and the history of dreaming, this is an essential reference.
