Of the Flame, Poems-Volume 15 by Wendy E. Slater is the second in the series of her spiritual poetry or "vision quest" poetry to be published. The poetry continues to chronicle the inner journey of self-discovery and the Divine, awakening us to our own Truth as we travel the path, the personal journey, and awaken from the illusory separation of self and Divinity.

The Legacy of the Soviet Union offers a distillation by a group of eminent scholars of their experience of the post-Soviet years.
