Astro*Carto*Graphy(r), developed by the late Jim Lewis, revolutionized astrology by transforming the ancient horoscope wheel into a world map that shows at a glance where a person can find love, money, vitality, or even jump-start a fading career - simply by moving to a new location. The Psychology of Astro*Carto*Graphy, based on Lewis writings, notes, and lectures, with additional material by Kenneth Irving, has long been hailed as the definitive work on the subject, and this new edition revises and extends the information found in the original. Detailed explanations of the changes each planet can bring to a particular location help the reader to apply Astro*Carto*Graphy s insights to his or her own life. The book also includes useful notes, an index, historical and technical notes on Astro*Carto*Graphy, a resource section for further study, and afterwords on Jim Lewis, the man and the teacher, and the continuing charitable work that stems from his legac

When I was in High School in the early 1960s, I was taught there was nothing more that needed to happen before the rapture of the saints and that the tribulation could come at any time. If that was the case, what was God waiting for? So my wife and I have read many books on end time events since we were married. But they all seemed to repeat what I learned in high school. So there is a great thing God does. He equips the called. That is what he did with me. God is the true author of this book. When I didn't know a word or have any idea how to proceed, I prayed and God allowed the words to flow and gave me understanding. That is how this book came to be.About ten years ago, I started serious research on the subject. I found the answers were not as I was taught during my high school years. The more I studied, the more truth I found. I decided to put what I learned into a book to teach others the real truth about the tribulation and what will happen in the Last Days. They say what you don't know can't hurt you. I found out that's a lie. There are things you need to know before the tribulation starts.This book is about the Tribulation, culminating in the Battle of Armageddon, and the 1000 reign of Christ on Earth, occurring in the near future.

Seven Rivers to Churchill, the author, Jim Lewis takes you along on a kayaking adventure from the Laurentian Divide in northern Minnesota to Churchill, Manitoba, the polar bear capital of the world. The journey begins on quiet spring-fed lakes flowing into small streams which meander slowly along the edge of the marsh but quickly accelerate through long stretches of rapids and cascade without restraint through gorges in a deafening roar; twelve hundred miles, seven rivers, sixteen lakes, and twenty-five portages. An excerpt: "I gave a couple serious strokes to get back into midstream, sitting as tall as I could in the cockpit to get an eye on the deep black trough I needed. The trough was obvious and wide, almost as wide as the overall flow, perhaps twenty yards or more, but it necked down quickly between two sheer limestone walls. In the trough, the flow picked up velocity, and once in, there was no getting out. As the channel narrowed more and more with each passing moment, I gained a grasp for why it was called Portage Chute. Perhaps we should have portaged!"

This is not a dry, step-by-step business text. This is a conversation, crafted to enhance your abilities and empower you to use them. When entrepreneur Jim Lewis set out to write a reference guide on start-ups, he approached it with the same innovative thinking that helped him start, build, and sell two successful high-tech companies. Rather than simply regurgitating the lessons he's learned over the years, he creatively illustrates the challenges a small-business founder experiences through an enlightening, and often humorous, fictional case study. In depicting the lifecycle of a start-up-from the entrepreneur's initial self-review, when the business is still merely an idea, to the exit strategy and its execution, once the business is prosperous-Lewis reveals not only the business side of things, but also the emotional and financial impacts on the family. Insightful as well as entertaining, you'll learn how to: - Avoid major mistakes - Shift from a big business mind-set to a small business mentality - Think creatively - Be more successful sooner Being an entrepreneur is risky, and there are no sure-fire solutions to eliminate the risk. But with STARTUP!, you can develop a new way of thinking that helps you tolerate the risk and embrace the possibilities.

A stunning, focused document of Nate Lowman‿s work from the past four years. ---------- "Brewing the good, the bad, and the ugly of consumerist modern life in his masterful paintings, Lowman draws a portrait of the times that is equally mischievous and somber." - BOMB Magazine ----------- With an archive of source material amassed and processed over time, Lowman creates slippery, layered images that transform visual referents found in the news, media, and art history. In this volume, Lowman plays with cataclysmic imagery that probes the tensions between the everyday and the extreme, presence and absence, and violence and representation. In his vibrant paintings of digitally rendered hurricane imagery and crime scene photography cataloging the aftermath of the October 2017 mass shooting in Las Vegas, he considers the physicality of his medium in connection to the chaos of his subject matter. Spotlighting Lowman‿s exhibitions at David Zwirner in London and New York along with other recent work, this monograph includes a text by Lynne Tillman that provides a unique perspective across all bodies of Lowman‿s oeuvre. In an interview with Andrew Paul Woolbright for The Brooklyn Rail, Lowman discusses his engagement with representation and meaning, twentieth-century gestural and pop art, slow painting, and American violence.

This tale of a crazy road trip pairs Pierson's seductive photographs with Lewis's free-floating reflections on the city as a magnet for high rollers and drifters of all stripes.

This is the final edition of a memoir by James Lewis. From law school to retirement in Albuquerque, NM, enjoy the memories of a civil rights lawyer from New York, to Springfield, to Albuquerque. Enjoy the introduction below.On July 28, 1940, in New York City, in the afternoon, Mom (Desna) delivers me into this world, and I meet my Dad (Stephen) and my older brother (Steve Jr). When World War II begins, we follow Dad while he serves in the Navy, ordering equipment. After the war, Dad returns to a successful business career, and we move to the New York suburbs. My life is comfortable, with good schools and summer camps. I read a lot, bike a lot and play sports. In my teen years, I browse through my parents' library and read John Hersey's "The Wall" and "Hiroshima," about life and death in the Warsaw Ghetto during the Holocaust and in Hiroshima just before and right after the Atomic Bomb, and I begin to question the world outside my well-protected environment-a world where some people destroy others. In high school, I write a paper that compares the love and caring that many extend to others with the opposites of caring: hate and indifference. Then in my senior year, I write a 20-page research paper about conformity, asking the basic question in David Riesman's "The Lonely Crowd:" are we independent and "hardened for voyages" or dependent and "softened for encounters?"
