In this extraordinary book, Kevin Starr–widely acknowledged as the premier historian of California, the scope of whose scholarship the Atlantic Monthly has called “breathtaking”–probes the possible collapse of the California dream in the years 1990—2003. In a series of compelling chapters, Coast of Dreams moves through a variety of topics that show the California of the last decade, when the state was sometimes stumbling, sometimes humbled, but, more often, flourishing with its usual panache. From gang violence in Los Angeles to the spectacular rise–and equally spectacular fall–of Silicon Valley, from the Northridge earthquake to the recall of Governor Gray Davis, Starr ranges over myriad facts, anecdotes, news stories, personal impressions, and analyses to explore a time of unprecedented upheaval in California. Coast of Dreams describes an exceptional diversity of people, cultures, and values; an economy that mirrors the economic state of the nation; a battlefield where industry and the necessities of infrastructure collide with the inherent demands of a unique and stunning natural environment. It explores California politics (including Arnold Schwarzenegger’s election in the 2003 recall), the multifaceted business landscape, and controversial icons such as O. J. Simpson. “Historians of the future,” Starr writes, “will be able to see with more certainty whether or not the period 1990-2003 was not only the end of one California but the beginning of another”; in the meantime, he gives a picture of the place and time in a book at once sweeping and riveting in its details, deeply informed, engagingly personal, and altogether fascinating.
An examination of an extremely popular box office genre - the gross-out movie - Laughing Screaming is a serious study of this unashamedly lowbrow product.
The Best Diet You Have Never Heard Of is a modernized and improved revision of the "original" Dr. Simeons 500 calorie hCG diet protocol. Developed over 3 years ago, Dr. Larry Vickman, MD, Dr. Connie Odom, MD and Sonia Russell, LPN are the first medical professionals to provide a safer and more tolerable protocol for the patient by removing the safety concerns many experience with the original 500 calorie protocol.

The revised protocol is also utilized as the new standard in hCG weight loss therapy for the prescribing practitioner.
