In Parting the Waters, the first volume of his essential America in the King Years series, Pulitzer Prize winner Taylor Branch gives a "compelling...masterfully told" (The Wall Street Journal) account of Martin Luther King's early years and rise to greatness. Hailed as the most masterful story ever told of the American Civil Rights Movement, Parting the Waters is destined to endure for generations. Moving from the fiery political baptism of Martin Luther King, Jr., to the corridors of Camelot where the Kennedy brothers weighed demands for justice against the deceptions of J. Edgar Hoover, here is a vivid tapestry of America, torn and finally transformed by a revolutionary struggle unequaled since the Civil War. Taylor Branch provides an unsurpassed portrait of King's rise to greatness and illuminates the stunning courage and private conflict, the deals, maneuvers, betrayals, and rivalries that determined history behind closed doors, at boycotts and sit-ins, on bloody freedom rides, and through siege and murder. Epic in scope and impact, Branch's chronicle definitively captures one of the nation's most crucial passages.Binding Type: Paperback

Great book on energy and the Law of Attraction
Format: Hardcover
One of the best books I have ever read on the Law of Attraction and how it really works through energy management. Simple to understand with no esoteric jargon, and with many practical examples, make this text well worth the purchase.
Highly recommended!

A fabulous resource for anyone ready to take control of what they attract.
This book is truly a practical guide to understanding how personal energy shapes our life experiences. The author does a great job blending spiritual truths with doable steps, on how to align your thoughts and emotions. Unlike so many other books that focus mostly on positive thinking, this one focuses on awareness and how to shift your “internal frequency” to manifest in the real world.
I really appreciated the uplifting writing style and clear format, making it easy to understand and follow. All in all, I thought this book is a fabulous resource for anyone ready to take control of their vibration, and create a more abundant and purposeful life.

makes positive change easier
I really enjoyed the simplicity of this book. I've made a lot of bookmarks. It's a lot of information I was already familiar with, but phrased in simple and relatable ways. Also a lot of things I didn't think about, like sound and energy. I enjoyed the examples on how to do some of these steps, and simple things you can do every day, like micro changes, to make positive change easier.
