Among the Meadow People
MANY of these stories of field life were written for the little ones of my kindergarten, and they gave so much pleasure, and aroused such a new interest in "the meadow people," that it has seemed wise to collect and add to the original number and send them out to a larger circle of boys and girls.All mothers and teachers hear the cry for "just one more," and find that there are times when the bewitching tales of animals, fairies, and "really truly" children are all exhausted, and tired imagination will not supply another. In selecting the tiny creatures of field and garden for the characters in this book, I have remembered with pleasure the way in which my loyal pupils befriended stray crickets and grasshoppers, their intense appreciation of the new realm of fancy and observation, and the eagerness and attention with which they sought Mother Nature, the most wonderful and tireless of all story-tellers.

The Spider
"When the student of medicine, Richard Bracquemont, decided to move into room #7 of the small Hotel Stevens, Rue Alfred Stevens (Paris 6), three persons had already hanged themselves from the cross-bar of the window in that room on three successive Fridays." The last of them was a police sergeant who had volunteered to sleep in the room to learn what happens that might explain the hangings, and somehow he met with the same fate. The medical student was aware of these incidents, but... "There was one detail about which he knew nothing because neither the police inspector nor any of the eyewitnesses had mentioned it to the press. It was only later, after what happened to the medical student, that anyone remembered that when the police removed Sergeant Charles-Maria Chaumié's body from the window cross-bar a large black spider crawled from the dead man's open mouth. A hotel porter flicked it away, exclaiming, 'Ugh, another of those damned creatures.'"Thus begins this bizarre mystery of "The Spider."

Where Are the Women?
For most of recorded history, women have been sidelined, if not silenced, by men who named the built environment after themselves. Now is the time to look unflinchingly at our heritage and bring those women who have been ignored to light.
Where Are The Women? They’ve been here all along…
Can you imagine a different Scotland, a Scotland where women are commemorated in statues and streets and buildings – even in the hills and valleys?
This is a guidebook to that alternative nation, where the cave on Staffa is named after Malvina rather than Fingal, and Arthur’s Seat isn’t Arthur’s, it belongs to St Triduana. You arrive into Dundee at Slessor Station and the Victorian monument on Stirling’s Abbey Hill interprets national identity through the women who ran hospitals during the First World War. The West Highland Way ends at Fort Mary. The Old Lady of Hoy is a prominent Orkney landmark. And the plinths in central Glasgow proudly display statues of the suffragettes who fought until they won.
In this guide, streets, buildings, statues and monuments are dedicated to real women, telling their often unknown stories.

The Last Black Unicorn
From stand-up comedian, actress, and breakout star of Girls Trip, Tiffany Haddish, comes The Last Black Unicorn, a sidesplitting, hysterical, edgy, and unflinching collection of (extremely) personal essays, as fearless as the author herself.
Growing up in one of the poorest neighborhoods of South Central Los Angeles, Tiffany learned to survive by making people laugh. If she could do that, then her classmates would let her copy their homework, the other foster kids she lived with wouldn't beat her up, and she might even get a boyfriend. Or at least she could make enough money-as the paid school mascot and in-demand Bar Mitzvah hype woman-to get her hair and nails done, so then she might get a boyfriend.
None of that worked (and she's still single), but it allowed Tiffany to imagine a place for herself where she could do something she loved for a living: comedy.
Tiffany can't avoid being funny-it's just who she is, whether she's plotting shocking, jaw-dropping revenge on an ex-boyfriend or learning how to handle her newfound fame despite still having a broke person's mind-set. Finally poised to become a household name, she recounts with heart and humor how she came from nothing and nowhere to achieve her dreams by owning, sharing, and using her pain to heal others.
By turns hilarious, filthy, and brutally honest, The Last Black Unicorn shows the world who Tiffany Haddish really is-humble, grateful, down-to-earth, and funny as hell. And now, she's ready to inspire others through the power of laughter.

The Spell
A romance set in Italy involving a love triangle of Helen, Inez, and Jack, tangled up in a spell of dual personalities, in the present and in the past. Excerpts:..."SLOWLY THE SPELL BEGAN TO WORK UPON INEZ’ BRAIN. SHE WAS NO LONGER IN THE PRESENT—SHE WAS A WOMAN OF ITALY OF FOUR CENTURIES BACK."...“It has actually happened at last,” the letter began, “and your favorite wager of ‘a thousand to one on the unexpected’ has really won. In other words, I, Helen Cartwright, condemned (by myself) to live and die an old maid as penalty for being so critical of the genus homo, now confess myself completely, hopelessly in love, and so happy in my new estate that I wonder why I ever hesitated."...“Helen, dear,” she [Inez] said, “here in the presence of Mr. Cartwright and Monsignor Cerini I ask your permission to keep in my heart the image of the man I learned to love while we both were beneath the spell. That man no longer exists in the flesh, but I still worship his memory. He can never exist again except as a part of an experience which could never be repeated. Is this asking too much, dear?”“What does it all mean?” cried Helen, gazing at her helplessly—“what does it all mean?”“It means that there have been two Jacks, Helen—one of whom became transformed for a time into a veritable master-spirit of the past. To this man, I admit, I gave a devotion which I shall never—could never—give to any other; but he died, Helen, when the spell broke against that wall at the foot of the hill of Settignano. This man, even during his existence, gave me no devotion in return, and knew not the passion which he inspired in me. He had no heart, but it was not his heart I worshipped. To me his mind—broad, comprehensive, and understanding—stood for all that life could give. The other Jack—the man you married—has never wavered in the love he gave you from the first. He has suffered from the influence of the second personality in that he was forced into the background by the greater strength of this sub-conscious self; but he has also gained from its influence in the development which we all have seen. My Jack is dead, but yours still lives. He needs you, and he longs for the return to him of the wife he has always loved.”

The Causality of Time
It is now 1035 BCE. Talmido is 185 years old, looking no older than twenty-five. Is it a curse or a blessing? That is for Talmido to search for and that, he does with a strength of character that defies logic or reason. Si-tatious, Gelal-tiamat and Talmido's children have long ago settled into death. Talmido is alone and in want of answers. He heads off for the city of Ur and eventually the city of Lagash in search of a man's disappearance under a mysterious set of circumstances. Eventually, Talmido is joined by five hardy and intrepid souls willing to satisfy their curiosity and perhaps enrich their circumstances. The revelations to be opened up to them are shocking and terrifying. They are overwhelmed and confused with the underlying reality of life. New paradigms of thought and creation are presented to them with the dawning realization of humanity's fragile position within the hierarchy of life. Humanity is not alone in the Universe.
Ke-zith-rist has lead his group of freedom loving Sirous-astro-tis to a safe haven of planets within a small solar system far out of the way from the Empire's prying eyes. They flourish and grow as they pursue their inherent need for knowledge and understanding of life and the cosmos around them. Unknown to them they are being watched by malevolent interlopers with a goal of annihilation on their minds. Fleeing through a wormhole with a wake of destruction pursuing them the rebels find their safe haven far away in another Galaxy to their relief and joy, however; it is not to last, as powers beyond their understanding have determined it is time for them to choose sides in an Inter-Galactic war of vast size and scope. It is the inner turmoil of reason and rationale that spurs Ke-zith-rist to ally with a surprising individual with close ties to those with deceit and evil intent in their hearts.
Axhereim, a Nreimhin biological being, becomes more disillusioned with the Anunnaki and their elusive nature. They become more and more demanding in their request for loyalty on Axhereim's part even subjecting him to excruciating mind-warping procedures to imprint their requirements directly onto his mind. Instead, resentment and revulsion are the characteristics that emerge and dominate Axhereim's thoughts and motivation. It is a dangerous game of duplicity on behalf of Axhereim and his master Mardu-poe but one must be victorious for both cannot survive the coming calamity.
The Anunnaki prepare for war. The Special Warfare Forces of the Primus and Authorial prepare for war. Men and women of Mars prepare for the coming conflict while Sirous-astro-tis and Nreimhin armies amass outside the solar system of Earth and Mars. It is to be a defining moment for Humanity, Sirous-astro-tis and Nreimhin alike as they search for their place in a seemingly chaotic and vicious Universe of ideals and desire.

The Birth of a New World 1918-1923
The global conflagration that erupted in 1914 exploded the old world and opened the way to a new, unprecedentedly cruel era – the 20th century. Early attempts to interpret the Great War described it as a clash between good and evil. That narrative is still shared by many. Mária Schmidt’s wide-ranging analysis attempts to transcend these diametrically-opposed explanations of the war. With a mere 100 years of hindsight, we can say that this book marks a real beginning. It will serve as a reference for many future studies.
