This book classifies prestige classes in six broad categories. Way of the Warrior explores classes whose focus is fighting, pure and simple. Even if enhanced by magic or other abilities, combat is what moves and motivates these characters. Secrets of the Arcane features a plethora of wizard and sorcerer variants, new areas of magic or sources of arcane power. The Power of Faith is devoted to those classes that draw power from the commitment they have with an external power, be it a deity, an ideal or a natural force. By Wits and Skill is a collection of classes that rely on extraordinary abilities, on their savvy and general know-how to get them out of trouble or carry them to success. Mind Over Matter explores the power of psionics and the mysteries surrounding those talented with the power of the mind. Finally, Monstrous Paths gives players and Games Masters a look at how some monstrous races can and do create special training to give those pesky adventurers a nasty surprise.

The book captures daily life in regions facing 'destruction or revolt', in five sections corresponding with different ecological sacrifice zones. Interspersed with interviews from several individuals, as well as monographs that capture the devastation caused to people and the environment, the book investigates ramifications of unchecked post-industrial free market capitalism in the United States. Sacco and Hedges wanted to show in words and drawings what life looks like in places where the marketplace rules without constraints, where human beings and the natural world are used and then discarded to maximize profit.

BOSAAF was a paramilitary organization in the Soviet Union. Its full name was the Volunteer Society for Assistance to the Army, Aviation, and Navy. It was established in 1927 as OSOAVIAKhIM and renamed DOSAAF in 1951. DOSAAF aimed to prepare Soviet youth for military service and, in some cases, even for war. While ostensibly a volunteer organization, membership was often compulsory for young people. Members were required to become specialists in their chosen field and engage in sports, including skiing, marksmanship, flying, and amateur radio. In the Soviet Union, DOSAAF played a key role in public civil defense training. It was responsible for training civilians in antiaircraft and chemical defense, and later, in defense against nuclear weapons. DOSAAF also had a role in the elimination of the consequences of emergency situations, such as catastrophes and natural disasters, helping the Ministry of Emergency Situations, according to Wikipedia.

The People Who Doubted You Are In for the Shock of Their LivesMitch Horowitz, “a cross between Aleister Crowley and Alan Watts” (Duncan Trussell), delivers this generation’s most literate and liberating self-help book in The Miracle Habits.Mitch shows how to foster a life of revolutionary self-direction through thirteen “Miracle Habits”―radical but workable commitments that allow you to “Spend for Power” (Habit 8), “Get Away from Cruel People” (Habit 6), “Rule In Hell” (Habit 13), and produce fortuitous events surpassing all expectation in career, creativity, relationships, charisma, and self-respect.“This book,” Mitch writes, “is about more than cultivating sanctioned notions of success or acceptance. It is not about being 10% happier, ‘good enough,’ or reorganizing your sock drawer. It is about fostering miracles. Not as a once-in-a-lifetime experience but as a recurring and natural part of life.”Washington Post: “Treats esoteric ideas and movements with an even-handed intellectual studiousness that is too often lost in today’s raised-voice discussions.”Paris Match:“Convincing…takes us far from naive doctrines.”David Lynch: “Mitch is solid gold.”
