    With a cool objectivity that heightens rather than diminishes the excruciating drama behind his historic decision, Ferdinand E. Marcos, President of the Philippines, narrates the events which made the proclamation of martial law—and the building of a new society—a compelling necessity of national survival. This book offers valuable insights into the rationale of martial law and the governing principles of the New Society. President Marcos was making notes for a sequel to his first book. Today's Revolution: Democracy, when he had to take the fateful decision which launched what he calls the "September 21 Movement. "Hence, these notes, indicating not an incompleteness of vision but the pressure on the nation and the Presidency: the race for time. But even as "notes," there is a wholeness in them, a logical consistency proceeding from the chapter on the rebellion of the poor to the final chapter on the theory and practice in the New Society, that justifies their publication for the enlightenment of the concerned citizenry and interested observers of Philippine affairs. The author further announces two other books, Constitution and Martial Law and A Philippine President's Diary.(from the book flaps)

As technology advances to allow us more focused examination of the intricate dance our brains do with our environment, we can use science to shed new light on humanity’s oldest question, “What is this thing called love?”In each chapter of this lively, edgy adventure through the romantic brain, Kayt Sukel dives into the latest neuroscientific research concerning love and sex (even getting her brain scanned while having an orgasm) and what it really means for the way we approach our relationships. Dirty Minds asks age-old questions such as: What parts of the brain are involved with love? Is there really a “seven-year itch”? Why do good girls like bad boys? Is monogamy practical?

How do our childhood experiences affect our emotional control and who is at risk for love addiction? Yet this book offers an entirely fresh approach, explaining all the ways the brain can make or break us in love.
