This book brings together for the first time the emerging literature
that employs economics to analyze the implications of constitutional
protections of individual rights and freedoms, including freedom of
speech and of the press, the right to bear arms, the right against
unreasonable search, the right against self-incrimination, the right to
trial by jury, and the right against cruel or unusual punishment.
Several
of the papers included in the book employ economic theory to analyze
the efficiency of policies related to the constitutional protections,
and others formulate empirical models to estimate the effects of these
policies on observable outcomes. Many of the results are immediately
relevant to current debate and policy-making. Contributors include
Sendhil Mullainathan, Albert Breton and Daniel Seidmann.
DMT: The Spirit Molecule A Doctor's Revolutionary Research into the Biology of Near-Death and Mystical Experiences by Rick Strassman
The Spirit Molecule is the most extensive scientific study of the mental and perceptual effects of a psychedelic drug since the 1960s. Strassman provides fascinating insight into the world of psychiatric research as he seeks to understand these most mysterious substances and their profound effects on human consciousness.

This dramatization is strongest at the strangest and most intense moments of this great tragedy. When Macbeth meets the weird sisters, when Lady Macbeth reveals her soul in a monologue, or when the forces clash in battle, this dramatization is hypnotic. The performances are first rate, and the sound quality is varied and nicely layered; each character speaks in a different cadence, with some difference in accent, and multiple background sound effects (a horn, the wind) combine to suggest a lively world without obscuring the core dialogue.
