    The Michelle Obama Transgender Guide Compiled by Richard Saunders with publicly accessible documents from the President Obama Administration. This book reflects on the historic steps the former First Lady and this last Administration have taken to afford greater protections for this minority community. During the last 8 years - President Obama signed numerous Executive Orders, such as one on LGBT Workplace Discrimination, - the CDC announced $185 million for grant opportunities for HIV prevention among transgender people and gay and bisexual men, - the Department of Housing and Urban Development issued new guidance for LGBT Americans seeking a home loan, and - former Attorney General Eric Holder announced the Department of Justice's new position against sex discrimination under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. (Hopefully, these orders, memos, and regulations will not be as easily canceled or reverted.)

    "I know that the stereotypes of the United States are out there, ...by television shows and movies and misinformation." - FORMER PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA This book premise is simple: The world is often misled, as President Obama opined, to see the United States through the icons its pop culture has produced. "...it's not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy toward people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations." President Obama long held that the world could be improved, that America had often self-inflicted stereotypes through its popular media and entertainment outlets. During his eight years in office, he made repeated and regular appearances on many of these social and corporate media outlets in order to ensure that his Administrations goals and accomplishments were accurately represented.

    Richard Saunders (1613 - 1692) was an astrologer/physician in 17th century England. This book, first published in 1677, was the result of thirty years practice. It is also one of the earliest astro-medical treatises in the English language. Using the terminology of his day, Saunders speaks of humors and winds, of conditions hot, cold or dry, of the cholerick and fiery, etc. This is a comprehensive and demanding text on medical astrology. Included are rules for decumbiture charts, illnesses produced by the traditional planets in the various signs of the zodiac, when to administer medicines based on planetary hours, and much more.This is also a first hand account of life, death and medicine in the 16th and 17th centuries, with many surprising details. Of the Black Plague of 1593 (with transiting Saturn in sign of Cancer), Saunders writes, "And you shall understand that this Plague was not infectious, because it came of a cold cause; and there was nothing that bred it so soon as the eating of fresh Herrings and Cucumbers and fruit, and such things as breed slimy Flegm and Water; and most commonly where it took a house, it went round amongst children and servants, that were all of one kind of feeding; and those two years was great plenty of fresh Herrings, and much fruit; and there dyed in the year 1593 eighteen hundred a week, and most of the Doctors of Physick did fly from London, and Dr. Foreman staid by it, and thanks God he saved many." (pg. 154). Includes numerous herbal remedies and medieval medical techniques. Introductions by his contemporaries William Lilly, John Gadbury, Henry Coley and others. One of the great astrology books.
