From the New York Times bestselling author Dick Russell, edited and introduced by New York Times bestselling author Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.!”A must read for anyone concerned with climate and energy issues.”—Leonardo DiCaprio, Academy Award winning actor and environmental activist The science is overwhelming; the facts are in. The planet is heating up at an alarming rate and the results are everywhere to be seen. Yet, as time runs out, climate progress is blocked by the men who are profiting from the burning of the planet: energy moguls like the Koch brothers and Exxon Mobil CEO Rex Tillerson. Powerful politicians like Senators Mitch McConnell and Jim Inhofe, who receive massive contributions from the oil and coal industries. Most of these men are too intelligent to truly believe that climate change is not a growing crisis. And yet they have put their profits and careers ahead of the health and welfare of the world’s population—and even their own children and grandchildren. How do they explain themselves to their offspring, to the next generations that must deal with the environmental havoc that these men have wreaked? Horsemen of the Apocalypse takes a personal look at this global crisis, literally bringing it home. - E-bokEngelska, 2018

What does a father do when hope is gone that his only son can ever lead anything close to a “normal” life? That’s the question that haunted Dick Russell in the fall of 2011, when his son, Franklin, was thirty-two. At the age of seventeen, Franklin had been diagnosed with schizophrenia. For years he spent time in and out of various hospitals, and even went through periods of adamantly denying that Dick was actually his father. A mixed-race child, Franklin was handsome, intelligent, and sensitive until his mental illness suddenly took control. After spending the ensuing years trying to build some semblance of a normal father-son relationship, Dick was invited with his son, out of the blue, to witness the annual wildlife migration on Africa’s Serengeti Plain. Seizing this potential opportunity to repair the damage that both had struggled with, after going through two perilous nights together in Tanzania, ultimately the two-week trip changed both of their lives. Desperately seeking an alternative to the medical model’s medication regimen, the author introduces Franklin to a West African shaman in Jamaica. Dick discovers Franklin’s psychic capabilities behind the seemingly delusional thought patterns, as well as his artistic talents. Theirs becomes an ancestral quest, the journey finally taking them to the sacred lands of New Mexico and an indigenous healer. For those who understand the pain of mental illness as well the bond between a parent and a child, My Mysterious Son shares the intimate and beautiful story of a father who will do everything in his power to repair his relationship with a young man damaged by mental illness. - Häftad, Engelska, 2021

An epic biography filled with drama, conflict, and surmounted challenges.The Real RFK Jr. is an intimate biographical portrait examining the controversial activist's journey from anguish and addiction to becoming the country's leading environmental champion fighting government corruption, corporate greed, and a captured media. Written by his longtime colleague Dick Russell, the biography also exposes the misconceptions and explains the rationale behind Kennedy's campaign to protect public health. Provided exclusive source material, including access to Kennedy’s unpublished writings and personal journals, the author conducted dozens of interviews with him as well as numerous friends and associates. Russell delves into everything from Kennedy’s sometimes death-defying river rafting adventures to his pioneering legal cases against polluters such as Smithfield Foods and Monsanto, while founding the world’s largest water protection group. The Real RFK Jr. also examines Kennedy’s pursuit of the truth about the assassinations of his father and uncle, the wrongful murder conviction of his cousin, and the false narratives around the COVID-19 pandemic. - Inbunden, Engelska, 2027

With their two voices alternating throughout the telling, this is the true story of a unique relationship that manages to transcend today’s racial and cultural divide.One is a successful Caucasian author of numerous non-fiction books who shares a home with lifelong friends in the Hollywood Hills. The other is an African American youth who grew up robbing people on the streets of downtown Los Angeles to survive, while stealing books from the library to become a savant in ancient mythology. Fifty years apart in age, they fall accidentally (or by fate) into each other’s lives at a time of transition for both. It’s a tale of two initiations: the young genius with a father in jail and a mother on drugs, suddenly recognized for his potential by a society he has scorned, and the unexpected mentor who becomes a welcomed denizen of a neighborhood he’s never entered before.Recounting experiences past and present from their differing points of view, Russ and Romeo move far beyond the stereotypes of well-intentioned white liberal and angry black youth. Amid a backdrop of contemporary issues impacting the inner city, their initiations are fraught with risk and revelation, including the doubts, fears and often the seeming impossibility of finding common ground. Arrested for a crime he didn’t commit, facing a foster care system that abused him and now seeks to claim his newborn child, Romeo learns to trust Russ’s coming to his aid. Russ puts his career and perhaps his freedom on the line over what he perceives as injustice. Their mutual leap into the unknown ultimately comes to encompass a spiritual dimension that includes shamanic divination and psychedelic experience. What began with Romeo’s remarkable recitation from Homer’s Odyssey turns into a modern-day enactment of its themes. Ultimately, this is a mysterious and timeless story about Destiny and Love. - Inbunden, Engelska, 2027

From the creators of the hit podcast of the same name, Who Killed JFK? unravels a tangled web of evidence—including recently declassified documents, rare interview transcripts, and existing expert research—and presents the definitive analysis of the Kennedy assassination.Since the fateful day in Dallas on November 22, 1963, journalists, historians, and investigators have examined the official record of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, yet a clear and conclusive explanation has remained elusive. Until now. Synthesizing decades of research with original investigative work, Rob Reiner, David Hoffman, and Dick Russell reconstruct the assassination with scholarly rigor and narrative urgency. As the conspiracy unfolds, we find a botched autopsy, two compromised investigations, numerous suspicious deaths, and countless cover-ups within the very institutions charged with uncovering the truth. This book assembles the long-scattered fragments of the investigation into a coherent and riveting case and finally decodes America’s greatest murder mystery. At a time when political violence and distrust in the government are reaching new highs, this answer—and the reasons why—may be more important than ever. - E-bokEngelska, 2023

James Hillman, who died in 2011 at the age of eighty-five, has been described by poet Robert Bly as “the most lively and original psychologist” of the twentieth century. Based on author Dick Russell’s interviews with Hillman and dozens of people who knew him, Volume Two of The Life and Ideas of James Hillman takes up Hillman’s mid-life when he set about returning psychology to its Soul-rich roots in Greek mythology and Renaissance esotericism. From his base teaching at Zurich’s Jung Institute, we follow Hillman’s growing international prominence as a maverick in the field, coinciding with his relationship and eventual marriage to Patricia Berry. They would be instrumental in formulating Archetypal Psychology, along with a group of young compatriots in what became known as Spring House. The new ideas taking shape moved psychology away from the dominant scientific/medical model with its focus on treating the isolated individual, expanding into the fertile realm of culture and the imagination. Amid prodigious writings and lectures, Hillman made mythology and even alchemy relevant to our times. Delivering the prestigious Terry Lectures at Yale and being nominated for a Pulitzer Prize, Hillman returned to America after living primarily in Europe for thirty years. To the surprise of many, he settled in Dallas and helped found an Institute of Humanities and Culture while taking up how to re-imagine city planning. Equally surprising was Hillman’s subsequent move to rural Connecticut, where he and Pat Berry resided in a nineteenth-century farmhouse. Starting in the mid-’80s, Hillman became a pioneering teacher in the mythopoetic men’s movement alongside Robert Bly and Michael Meade—where deep talk about fathers and sons and male-female relationships offered a new kind of group therapy, a cultural therapy. As Thomas Moore said of Hillman, he possessed a “genius for taking any theme and shedding serious fresh light on it.” Along the way, Hillman’s insights came to encompass all of the arts, a “poetic basis of mind” that connected him to many of the most influential artists and thinkers of the modern era. - Inbunden, Svenska, 2023

Den verklige RFK jr är en biografi om Robert F. Kennedy jr. Den skildrar hans händelserika liv alltifrån uppväxten i USA:s mest berömda politiska familj till tillkännagivandet av hans presidentkandidatur.
Vem är då RFK jr mannen som utmanar Joe Biden och Donald Trump om att bli Förenta staternas näste president?
Robert Francis Kennedy junior, född 1954, har gjort sig känd som en framstående jurist på miljö- och läkemedelsområdet. Genom att stämma eller hota att stämma bolag som förorenar marker och vattendrag eller använder otillåtna gifter i mediciner har han vunnit en rad stora och uppmärksammade mål. Bland annat var Kennedy huvudombud i de omfattande processerna mot Dupont om företagets miljöförstöring i West Virginia och mot Monsanto om de skador som företagets ogräsbekämpningsmedel Roundup orsakat.
RFK jr har också gjort sig känd som en skicklig organisatör och är grundare av de två internationellt inflytelserika organisationerna Waterkeeper Alliance världens största vattenskyddsorganisation och Childrens Health Defense, en förening med syftet att stoppa epidemin av barnsjukdomar.
I Dick Russells bok får Kennedys yrkesmässiga liv stort utrymme, men här behandlas också mer privata sidor, som RFK jr:s kamp för att bli fri från alkohol- och drogmissbruk och hur hans djupa katolska tro gett honom inre styrka. RFK jr berättar om sina upplevelser av morden på sin far 1968 och sin farbror 1963 och hur dessa erfarenheter präglat honom. I ett kapitel återger han hur han började tvivla på de officiella versionerna av hur de två morden gick till, vilket ledde honom till att besöka Sirhan Sirhan, som dömts för mordet på hans far, i fängelset.
Slutligen skildras också hur RFK jr, mycket motvilligt, kom att intressera sig för vacciner och varför detta har väckt sådant motstånd. Media och makthavare anklagar honom för att vara »antivaxxare«. RFK jr som själv tagit många vacciner anser sig inte vara emot vacciner i sig, utan det han vänder sig mot är vacciner som är otillräckligt testade eller har svåra biverkningar.
Efter att RFK jr hade publicerat en vaccinkritisk artikel i Rolling Stone och Salon förändrades hans liv och samhällsposition drastiskt. Från att ha varit en uppburen medlem av den politiska eliten och en efterfrågad kommentator i de stora tidningarna blev han nu närmast en utstött. En massiv censur- och svartmålningskampanj inleddes som pågår än idag.
Men kritikstormen har inte fått RFK jr att tystna och vika ner sig. Den har tvärtom fått honom att bredda och intensifiera sitt opinionsbildande engagemang för folkhälsa och yttrandefrihet.
Sedan april 2023 har hans engagemang ett nytt mål: att tillträda världens mäktigaste ämbete.
»RFK jr är en av de modigaste och mest imponerande människor jag någonsin mött.« Tucker Carlson
»Jag skäms över de tankar jag tidigare hade om Bobby Kennedy jr. Nu inser jag att de var baserade på skandalösa mediala lögner och propagandaattacker. Efter att ha lärt känna honom, och många av de djupt sakkunniga och engagerade personerna i Childrens Health Defence, är det min övertygelse att historien kommer att se honom som en av de största amerikanska statsmännen.« Pierre Kory
»Jag har lagt ner 37 år på att försöka få ut kvicksilvret ur fisk. Ingen kallar mig anti-fisk. Jag har lagt ner 37 år på att försöka få ut bekämpningsmedlen ur mat. Ingen kallar mig anti-mat. Jag har lagt ner 37 år på att få ut de fossila bränslena ur bilar. Ingen kallar mig anti-energi. Jag är anti-dumhet. Jag är emot dålig vetenskap och för god, robust vetenskap, och för hederliga tillsynsmyndigheter. Idag har vi ingenting av detta.« Robert F. Kennedy jr
»Det är svårt att leva i USA och inte ha en negativ bild av Robert F. Kennedy jr. Under större delen av sitt vuxna liv var han känd som landets främsta förkämpe för miljön, men detta har på senare år kommit i skymundan av massmedias stämpling av honom som antivaxxare och spridare av desinformation. Många kontroversiella personer som har utsatts för omfattande attacker försvinner från offentligheten och återgår till sina bekväma liv. Men inte Kennedy. Han har utstått smutskastning från ledande tidningar och tidskrifter. Hans böcker har censurerats mer än några andra. Han har smädats, uteslutits från mediala plattformar och frysts ute. Men han försvinner inte. Efter att ha ägnat 40 år åt att ta sig an landets värsta miljöförstörare och att kämpa mot storföretagens inflytande över tillsynsmyndigheter och media, framträder han nu som förkämpe för demokratin, i en tid då den är mer hotad än någonsin.« Dick Russell
