Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'No person can be blamed for refusing to read another word of what promises to be a mere imposition upon his credulity.' Julian West, a feckless aristocrat living in fin-de-siècle Boston, plunges into a deep hypnotic sleep in 1887 and wakes up in the year 2000. America has been turned into a rigorously centralized democratic society in which everything is controlled by a humane and efficient state. In little more than a hundred years the horrors of nineteenth-century capitalism have been all but forgotten. The squalid slums of Boston have been replaced by broad streets, and technological inventions have transformed people's everyday lives. Exiled from the past, West excitedly settles into the ideal society of the future, while still fearing that he has dreamt up his experiences as a time traveller. Edward Bellamy's Looking Backward (1888) is a thunderous indictment of industrial capitalism and a resplendent vision of life in a socialist utopia. Matthew Beaumont's lively edition explores the political and psychological peculiarities of this celebrated utopian fiction.

We seek values that are more relevant and useful to us in the conduct of our everyday lives. The sixty-four values we discuss are primarily adapted from current spiritual, psychological, and secular sources.* The Empowerment of Personal Choice. Assuming more responsibility for our spiritual happiness begins by clarifying our own ideals and values. Because your chosen personal values are important (valuable) to you, they provide fresh sources of inspiration. * An Emphasis on Transformation-not Transcendence. A commitment to grow and live in closer alignment with our chosen spiritual ideals (like wisdom, peace, love, and compassion) helps us to become more of the person we wish to be.* More Life for All-in This World. Our task is to sacralize all life, here and now.* We Seek a More Spiritual Life-With Spirit or without.
