In "Mega-Projects", Altshuler and Luberoff examine the forces that gave rise to a great wave of urban mega-projects in the US in the 1950s and 1960s, that broke this wave in the years around 1970 and that have shaped a new generation of such projects in the decades since. While focusing principally on transportation mega-projects such as Boston's Central Artery/Tunnel project (the "Big Dig"), the Denver International Airport and the Los Angeles subway, they consider as well the scores of new stadiums, arenas and convention centres built (mainly at public expense) in recent years. "Mega-Projects" includes narratives of both national policy-making and local mobilization to bring about highway, airport, rail-transit and downtown revitalization projects, particularly since the 1970s. The specific projects chronicled are drawn from numerous regions including Boston, Denver, Los Angeles, New York City, Chicago, Atlanta, Dallas, Portland and Seattle. It also includes broad analyses, seeking to place the authors' findings in relation to leading theories of urban and American politics..

Thanks to a new treatment approach… Millions of patients now enjoy the best of both worlds

Every year, Americans make 600 million visits to alternative health care practitioners, spending about $30 billion in the process (Newsweek). The same Americans also visit conventional doctors and see the value in modern medicine’s high-tech advances.

Meantime, the two opposing camps—conventional vs. alternative medicine—keep slugging away at each other in an effort to prove who’s right and who’s wrong.

Enter Dr. Larry Altshuler, coming to the rescue of millions of Americans who wisely understand that both sides of the argument are right! "You get the best possible medical care when you combine the best of both treatment disciplines," says Dr. Altshuler. He calls this approach Balanced Healing.

Dr. Altshuler’s healing approach is explained in detail in a first-of-its-kind book titled BALANCED HEALING: Combining Modern Medicine with Safe & Effective Alternative Therapies (February 2004, Harbor Press). Best-selling author and women’s health guru Christiane Northrup, M.D. calls it "groundbreaking," and adds, "This much-needed resource should be on the shelf of every concerned doctor and patient. I highly recommend it."

Balanced Healing is an indispensable reference guide for every family that cares about health. Use its comprehensive A-to-Z listing to look up any common ailment. For each one, you’ll find common symptoms, general recommendations, and a step-by-step treatment action plan with recommendations covering the full spectrum, from conventional medicine to alternative and research therapies.

Dr. Altshuler is board certified in Internal Medicine. He began introducing alternative treatments into his practice 26 years ago, long before the buzz words "complementary" and "integrative" medicine were even invented. Later, he went on to advanced training in Chinese herbal medicine, acupuncture, nutrition, Qigong, hypnosis, and mind-body medicine. Currently he runs the Balanced Healing Medical Center in Oklahoma City and hosts a weekly radio talk show.

"Today, lots of books talk about ‘integrative’ and ‘complementary’ medicine," says Dr. Altshuler. "But the truth is, all of them express a strong bias toward one discipline or the other—conventional or alternative medicine. I’m different, because I strive to be as neutral and bias-free as possible. My only yardstick for measuring is: what is safest and most effective. The truth is, the best treatment you can get comes from a balanced approach. In other words, the best of both worlds.".

Y E S Yoko Ono accompanies the first major museum retrospective of the work of this pioneering avant-garde artist. In her prolific 40-year career, Ono has embraced a wide range of mediums, defying traditional boundaries and creating new forms of artistic expression. This volume is the first comprehensive art book devoted to her challenging and influential work.

Yoko Ono has created revolutionary forms of music, film, and the visual arts since the 1960s, when she emerged as an avant-garde force in New York, Tokyo, and London. This richly illustrated book includes essays by eminent international scholars and critics that not only explore Ono's life and career, including her contributions to the Fluxus movement and Conceptual art, but also enrich our understanding of her complex role as artist, filmmaker, poet, composer, performance artist, activist, and rock star. An anthology of Ono's writings and an illustrated chronology further mark this book as the most extensive survey ever published on the art and life of Yoko Ono.

The book includes a CD with new music by Yoko Ono, performed by Ono, her son Sean Lennon, and others.

ALEXANDRA MUNROE, director of Japan Society Gallery, New York, and a noted art historian specializing in modern Asian art, organized the accompanying exhibition in consultation with JON HENDRICKS, who has worked as Yoko Ono's curator and archivist since 1989 and is the author of Abrams' acclaimed catalogue raisonn Fluxus Codex.
