Voyage in a Six-oared Skiff to the Falls of Saint Anthony in 1817

The hurricane that pummeled the northeastern United States on September 21, 1938, was New England’s most damaging weather event ever. To call it “New England’s Katrina” might be to understate its power. Without warning, the storm plowed into Long Island and New England, killing hundreds of people and destroying roads, bridges, dams, and buildings that stood in its path. Not yet spent, the hurricane then raced inland, maintaining high winds into Vermont and New Hampshire and uprooting millions of acres of forest. This book is the first to investigate how the hurricane of ’38 transformed New England, bringing about social and ecological changes that can still be observed these many decades later. The hurricane’s impact was erratic—some swaths of forest were destroyed while others nearby remained unscathed; some stricken forests retain their prehurricane character, others have been transformed. Stephen Long explores these contradictions, drawing on survivors’ vivid memories of the storm and its aftermath and on his own familiarity with New England’s forests, where he discovers clues to the storm’s legacies even now. Thirty-Eight is a gripping story of a singularly destructive hurricane. It also provides important and insightful information on how best to prepare for the inevitable next great storm.

THE DYNAMICS OF THE METTA MAP MAKE NAVIGATINGTHE BUDDHA DHARMA EXPERIENTIALLY ACCESSIBLEThe Metta Map is both the centerpiece of the Metta System, and the vehicle we use to present the information in this book. The Metta Map was developed as a teaching device by Dr. Barbara Wright. It was designed as a tool for conflict resolution, and has been used successfully for the past ten years, both intra-personally and inter-personally, in various applications such as clinical, family, corporate, and others. It became apparent that the Metta Map represents the entirety of the Dharma, which is embedded in both its structure and content, and that it can be used as a navigational tool for learning and teaching the Dharma. It is our hope that this book, which synthesizes the core teachings of the Buddha, will be a joyful adventure that increases your Dharma knowledge and moves you forward your own path.Visit www.themettasystem.comDr. Barbara Wright is the author of “The Metta System: The Map, The Formula, and The Equations.”Dr. Stephen Long is the co-author of “Thus We Heard: Recollections of the Life of the Buddha.”
