Ghost towns all start out as real towns, with real people.

When two tourists witness a real ghost at a small Montana museum and hear his story, they're transported back in time to the gritty days of mining.

A young and very Irish Jack Fallon arrives in the 1890s mining town of Granite, Montana. His life takes a sudden turn when he's robbed and beaten. He lands in the local hospital, attended by nurse Jillian Brandt.

They resist their growing feelings. After all, she's happily married to the town doctor. Mostly happily. But love blooms. Their plans to run away are complicated as the great Silver Crash of 1893 disrupts the mine and the town.

Do they stay or do they run?

A real ghost town and unforgettable characters lend unique flavor to a love story that spans centuries.

The story doesn't end when you think it does.

The Gospel of Mary Magdalene - LARGE PRINT

A Complete Guide to Her Lost Text, Forbidden Wisdom, and the Return of the Divine Feminine (Annotated and Illustrated)

Rediscover one of early Christianity's most profound and silenced voices in this annotated and illustrated large-print edition of The Gospel of Mary Magdalene. Long hidden and fragmented, this text offers a rare glimpse into the spiritual vision of the woman once called "Apostle to the Apostles."

Drawing on ancient manuscripts and modern scholarship, this edition presents a faithful translation of Mary's gospel accompanied by commentary that explores its theological depth, historical context, and enduring message of spiritual freedom and inner knowledge.

Contents and Highlights

• A Forgotten Gospel Recovered - Traces the discovery of the Codex Berolinensis and other ancient fragments that preserved Mary's words through centuries of obscurity.
• The Soul's Journey and Inner Liberation - Illuminates the text's central teaching: redemption through awakening divine memory and overcoming the powers that bind the soul.
• Mary Magdalene as Disciple and Archetype - Examines her unique authority among the apostles and her role as a mirror of Sophia, the feminine embodiment of Wisdom.
• The Divine Feminine Restored - Connects Mary's vision to the lost theology of the sacred feminine found in Pistis Sophia, The Gospel of Thomas, and The Gospel of Philip.
• Exclusion and Rediscovery - Investigates why this gospel was excluded from the New Testament and how it challenges patriarchal structures within early Christianity.
• A Guide for Seekers and Scholars - Includes study notes, reading guidance, and reflective questions to deepen personal or academic engagement with the text.

Why This Edition Stands Out

• Fully Annotated & Illustrated - Designed to merge scholarly precision with accessible interpretation.
• Large-Print Format - Offers a comfortable reading experience for students, researchers, and general readers.
• Cultural and Theological Relevance - A vital resource for understanding the Gnostic roots of Christian mysticism and the return of the feminine in spiritual thought.
• Part of the Manuscryptha Apocryphal Collection - Companion volume to The Books of Enoch and The Complete Restored Ethiopian Bible.

The Gospel of Mary Magdalene invites readers into a realm of divine wisdom, compassion, and courage-a message as revolutionary today as it was two thousand years ago. A cornerstone text for anyone exploring Gnostic spirituality, early Christian diversity, or the timeless call to inner truth.

Inside the Belly of the Primordial Walking Whale lies poems about life, love, trust, courage, and friendship. Roberto Rossi superbly expresses deeply-felt and well-observed rich experiences of his life. The rhyme is fluent, and the content is full of wonderful insights like "Friends encourage. Guides acknowledge. Teachers validate. Leaders connect all three." Read this marvelous collection of poems to experience the rich expressions on relations and to appreciate the treasure that is life.

A newly registered private investigator attempts to track down Alice B. Toklas's reputed horn in this smart, hilarious, sexy, and unexpectedly poignant detective novel

Gertrude Stein and Alice B. Toklas are the most famous married couple of Modernism, icons of literary queer history. But what if Alice had a secret? What if, underneath her thickly cultivated hair and low-brimmed hats, there was something sinister growing? What if, as Picasso claimed, Alice B. Toklas really did have a horn?

This is what the mysterious voice on the phone is asking. And our narrator, a newly registered private investigator, is in no position to hang up--she recently walked away from an exploitative job in academia, is bereaved following the sudden death of her partner, and has a kid to support. The case sounds ridiculous, but she needs the money. Okay, she tells the voice. I'll find the horn. The job takes her from London to Paris to San Francisco, from a Hemingway's kitchen table to a Beat-inspired hotel run by an investment bank. Just when she thinks the case is dead, that no horn exists, she finds herself knee-deep in trouble with someone hot on her heels . . .

At once a reimagining of the lone-wolf detective and a hilarious takedown of self-important scholarship, Bone Horn is a dexterous investigation of queerness, unbearable grief, and who has the right--and means--to rewrite history.

Unequal Exchange: Past, Present, and Future is Torkil Lauesen's definitive synthesis of sixty years of debate on the political economy of imperialism. Returning to Arghiri Emmanuel's groundbreaking theory of unequal exchange-the systematic transfer of value from low-wage regions of the Global South to high-wage countries in the Global North-Lauesen reconstructs the historical, theoretical, and political stakes of the concept with revolutionary clarity. Moving from the early structures of colonial extraction to contemporary global value chains, Lauesen demonstrates how wage differentials, outsourcing, and the international division of labor continue to polarize the world-system, shaping everything from living standards to global political alignments.

Drawing on archival materials, as well as contributions from dependency theorists, world-systems analysis, ecological economists, and contemporary empirical research, Lauesen demonstrates how unequal exchange underpins the prosperity of the imperial core while undermining development in the periphery. Across chapters on measurement, solidarity, crisis, technological transfer, ecological degradation, multipolarity, and socialist transition, Lauesen lays out a comprehensive account of how unequal exchange has evolved-and why it remains central to understanding the 21st-century capitalist order.

Unequal Exchange offers a rigorous, accessible, and politically urgent guide for scholars, organizers, and readers seeking to comprehend the structural foundations of imperialism today and the possibilities for building a more equal and sustainable world-system beyond the exploitative constraints of the current system.

Considered the first American "bestseller", "The Sovereignty and Goodness of God" follows Mary Rowlandson's three month holding by the American Algonquian Indians. The first by an Anglo-American woman, Mrs. Rowlandson's narrative remains a classic tale of captivity, which has captivated readers since its initial publication in 1682, and presents a unique perspective on transcultural interaction between early American settlers and their Native American counterparts. Following King Phillip's War, Mary and her three children were seized by Algonquian Indians in her town of Lancaster, Massachusetts. What ensued is a harrowing journey of tremendous hardship up to her release. Rowlandson integrates Puritan ideologies and Biblical verses; attributing much of her survival upon her Lord. The book's popularity inspired a generation of settlement novelists to incorporate the authenticity of Rowlandson's narrative into their works. This text is of great value to both the scholar and the general reader for its social and historical insight into Indian relations in the early days of American colonization. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper.

The shocking new psychological thriller from the bestselling author of A Man Downstairs and An Unthinkable Thing a twisty, unsettling, and masterfully plotted game of magnetic push-and-pull between two women whose secrets threaten to collide.

When Mia was a young woman, she read a magazine article about a murderous teenage girl with a rare and disturbing psychiatric delusion. Fascinated by the details, she sought out the doctor who'd treated the girl, and eventually married him. Twenty years later, Mia's curiosity is piqued once again when her husband announces that his famous case study will be republished--and that he will be reconnecting with his former patient.

Lainey has never felt that her feet are fully on the ground--not since she was released from a psychiatric institution at the age of twenty-one. When her former doctor reaches out, she decides to tell him the truth about what happened all those years ago. Perhaps she can finally lighten the darkness that has defined her entire existence.

With mirroring software, Mia pores over every recorded therapy session with Lainey, almost as though she's watching a true crime drama unfold. On the opposite side, Lainey becomes intensely interested in her doctor's family. How far will she go to insert herself into his seemingly perfect life?

My Bloody Roots is the brutally honest story of life in two of the world's best-known heavy metal bands, Sepultura and Soulfly, by one of the global metal scene's most respected musicians.

Max Cavalera has a unique and extraordinary story to tell, and My Bloody Roots is an autobiography like no other. Much more than just another tale of rock'n'roll debauchery, it's a story of heartbreak and loss--and, ultimately, triumph. In it, Cavalera offers an unflinching account of life growing up in hardship in Brazil--a country not previously known for heavy metal--and the multi-million-selling success, against all odds, of Sepultura, the band he founded with his brother, Iggor.

Then, for the first time, he reveals the full story behind his split with the band--after which he did not speak to his brother for years--and the formation of his Soulfly, one of the most critically and commercially successful metal bands of recent decades. He also goes into unflinching detail on the devastating impact of the deaths of his father, stepson, and grandson; his struggles with drugs and alcohol; his eventual reunion with Iggor in Cavalera Conspiracy; and more.

This revised and updated edition continues to trace Max's career to the present day, covering the formation of his new band Go Ahead And Die as well as the supergroup Killer Be Killed, making it truly essential reading for all fans of metal.
