    Literary, Subsidiary, and Foreign Rights Agents A Mini-Guide by John Kremer Copyright © 2011 by John Kremer All rights reserved. Open Horizons P. O. Box 2887 Taos NM 87571 575-751-3398 Fax: 575-751-3100 Email: [email protected] Web: http://www.bookmarket.com Introduction Below are the names and contact information for more than 1,450+ literary agents who sell rights for books. For additional lists, see the end of this report. The agents highlighted with a bigger indent are known to work with self-publishers or publishers in helping them to sell subsidiary, film, foreign, and reprint rights for books. All 325+ foreign literary agents (highlighted in bold green) listed here are known to work with one or more independent publishers or authors in selling foreign rights. Some of the major literary agencies are highlighted in bold red. To locate the 260 agents that deal with first-time novelists, look for the agents highlighted with bigger type. You can also locate them by searching for: “first novel” by using the search function in your web browser or word processing program. Unknown author Jennifer Weiner was turned down by 23 agents before finding one who thought a novel about a plus-size heroine would sell. Her book, Good in Bed, became a bestseller. The lesson? Don't take 23 agents word for it. Find the 24th that believes in you and your book. When querying agents, be selective. Don't send to everyone. Send to those that really look like they might be interested in what you have to offer.

SPONS AGENCY National Science Foundation, Washington, DC. PUB DATE 2002-00-00 NOTE 33p.; Paper presented at the Annual Meeting of the American Political Science Association.

DESCRIPTORS *Internet; *Mass Media Effects; Media Research; *Presidential Campaigns (United States); *Voting; *Young Adults IDENTIFIERS News Sources; Political Communication; *Web Sites ABSTRACT Many young adults are not politically active. Since 1972, their participation and interest levels have declined not only in absolute terms but also relative to other voting-age groups. This paper examines how the Internet can reverse this trend. It focuses on how leading news and political information Web sites affected young adults during the closing weeks of the 2000 presidential election campaign. The data come from a survey that exposes citizens to Web sites under varying conditions. The data are used to document how individual sites change viewers' political interest and likely participation levels. Seemingly similar sites had dramatically different effects on young viewers. The analysis documents that sites which provide information effectively increase political interest and participation for all ages, but young and old differ significantly on which sites are effective. Findings suggest that using the Internet to increase youth political engagement entails unique, but discoverable, challenges. (Contains 21 references, 7 notes, and 4 tables.)(Author/BT) Reproductions supplied by EDRS are the best that can be made from the original document.

  • With His Life's Work Complete, His Holiness Maharishi Mahesh Yogi
    For Immediate Release Contact: Robert Roth February 6, 2008 +1-641-470-1344 [email protected] With his life’s work complete, His Holiness Maharishi Mahesh Yogi “is welcomed with open arms into Heaven” Maharishi offers farewell message: “Live long the world in peace, happiness, prosperity, and freedom from suffering” His Holiness Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, the illustrious sage of the Vedic Tradition of India, who over 50 years ago introduced his Transcendental Meditation program to spiritually regenerate mankind and create world peace, passed away peacefully on Tuesday, February 5, at approximately 7:00 p.m. (CET) at his international headquarters in Vlodrop, The Netherlands. “Maharishi’s work is complete. He has done what he set out to do in 1957—to lay the foundation for a peaceful world. Now, Maharishi is being welcomed with open arms into Heaven,” said Maharaja Adhiraj Rajaraam, first ruler of the Global Country of World Peace, Maharishi’s global educational organization. Three weeks ago, on January 11, Maharishi publicly announced that he would be “retiring into silence,” and said he was “closing his designed duty” to his spiritual master, Guru Dev. “I can only say, ‘Live long the world in peace, happiness, prosperity, and freedom from suffering.’” He then placed the administration of his global movement under the “capable leadership” of Maharaja Adhiraj Rajaraam, world-renowned neuroscientist, and his 48 international Ministers and Rajas (administrators)—along with thousands of teachers of Maharishi’s Transcendental Meditation and directors of his movement throughout the world. Maharishi’s decision to retire was inspired by news that more than enough experts have now been trained in his peace-creating technologies of consciousness to raise any nation to invincibility and secure peace and prosperity for the world—and that his global organization is now in place to maintain this peace permanently.

    A N “UNITY PERVADES ALL ACTIVITY AS WATER EVERY WAVE” D ER “UNITY PERVADES ALL ACTIVITY AS The major purpose of this thesis is to investigate some essential aspects of the teach- S L ings and philosophy of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi (1917-2008) expressed during different WATER EVERY WAVE” periods of time. I N Principal Teachings and Philosophy of There is a primary focus on the teachings expressed in Maharishi’s translation and com- D mentary on the didactic poem, Bhagavadgītā, with extensive references to Maharishi’s H Maharishi Mahesh Yogi metaphorical language. The philosophy and teaching expressed in this text is investi- gated in relation to later texts. Since maybe the most significant and most propagated message of Maharishi was his peace message, its theory and practice, as well as studies published regarding the so- called Maharishi Effect, are reflected in the thesis. Maharishi’s philosophy and teachings are analysed using three categories: 1. Vision and Tradition, as Maharishi could be considered on the one hand, a custodian of the ancient Vedic tradition and is associated with the Advaita Vedānta tradition of Śaṅkara from his master. On the other hand, Maharishi could be considered an innovator of this tradition and a visionary in his interpretation of the Vedic texts in relation to modern science. 2. Consciousness and Experience are central concepts in the teachings of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, as well as the relationship between them, which is evidenced by their use “ in Maharishi’s writing and lecturing. 3. Practice before Theory is a concept used because U of the numerous instances in Maharishi’s philosophy and teaching indicating that he put ni t practice before theory for spiritual development.
