My Family and the End of Everything
The end of everything begins closer than you think. Of course, it always includes such foul practices as bureaucratic corruption, disregard for science (or the overindulgence of it), and corrupted religion. But this is not where it starts. It begins much closer to home-smart homes to be exact, and well-intentioned inventions (they really did think it was a good idea)-and human consolidation, and old men doing their best to retire.
My Family and the End of Everything follows generations of the Profeta family as they march naively towards the setting sun. The ending doesn't come with explosions-at least, not at first. It arrives quietly, in funerals, final meditations, historical preservation, and decisions no one remembers volunteering for. From networked houses and autonomous bots to terraformed worlds, time travel, dying suns, and suspiciously ceremonial banquets, these stories track humanity's ongoing attempt to stay human, in all our gloriously human ways.
This isn't one apocalypse, but several, for the world ends far more often than we'd like to admit. Yet somehow, through all of them, a family-and their stubborn faith in each other and in their God-finds a way to endure and present to us this question: If we could change the future, would we?

Douglas Kelley - Dentro de los Juicios Mentales de Núremberg: La verdadera historia del psiquiatra estadounidense que diagnosticó a Göring y expuso la
Tras la Segunda Guerra Mundial, mientras el mundo luchaba por comprender la devastación del Tercer Reich, un psiquiatra estadounidense se adentró en las sombras de la historia para descubrir la verdad oculta en las mentes de los líderes nazis. Douglas M. Kelley, un brillante pero atribulado médico del Ejército de EE. UU., recibió la tarea de evaluar a Hermann Göring y a los demás acusados principales en los Juicios de Núremberg.
Su descubrimiento desafió todo lo que Estados Unidos creía sobre el mal. A lo largo de meses de duelos psicológicos, pruebas de manchas de tinta y entrevistas incesantes, Kelley expuso una realidad inquietante: los artífices de la atrocidad no eran locos; eran hombres comunes y racionales, moldeados por el poder, el miedo, la ambición y la ideología.
Esta apasionante biografía sigue el ascenso de Kelley, su trabajo pionero dentro del Palacio de Justicia y el coste psicológico que finalmente lo consumió. Con una rica investigación y una escritura conmovedora, revela las tensiones ocultas tras los juicios y las lecciones perdurables que ofrecen para comprender el extremismo actual.
Una conmovedora historia real sobre ciencia, poder y ajuste de cuentas moral, ideal para lectores de historia, psicología y crímenes reales.

Wildflower Haven
The draw and pull of nature and a shared appreciation for the wonder of the Smoky Mountains may draw two very different individuals together initially but their fierce independence and the unexpected problems and secrets around them may soon pull them apart.
Valerie Merton always loved wandering the winding pathways of the Wildflower Haven, her family's garden and nursery center in Cosby by the Smoky Mountains. Not everyone understood her love of this place, in her family since the 1800s, but she treasured their land and legacy. It annoyed her one spring day to see a man, ignoring all their caution signs, picking shoots off their plants. Of course she had to talk with him about it, but his responses were rude and arrogant. The man also made her uncomfortable, and she hoped he wouldn't come back.
Dr. Patrick McNaughton, a biology and botany professor, enjoyed strolling through the pathways of the garden center near the rustic mountain home he'd recently purchased. As he explored, a woman called him to task for picking plant shoots to use in his teaching, an attractive and arresting woman he soon learned was part of the family who ran the nursery. Her grandfather, a more congenial sort, later friended him and invited him to dinner with all the family, making Patrick smile to realize he'd get to see the man's interesting granddaughter again, too.

Prosperous Heart: Creating a Life of Enough
Winner of BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR from COVR (The Coalition of Visionary Resources), that recognizes the best new products in the New Age industry. In The Prosperous Heart, the author of the international bestseller The Artist's Way, Julia Cameron, presents a 12-week program for using practical financial tools--in partnership with your creative heart and soul--to guide you to prosperity in all areas of your life. According to Cameron, true prosperity has very little to do with the amount of money we have in the bank. Rather, it is about possessing a prosperous heart and the ability that affords us to see clearly--and appreciate--the aspects of our lives that are truly valuable. With inspiring daily tools, exercises, and strategies, this book guides readers in developing a life that is full, satisfying, and secure--both fiscally and spiritually.
2013 Nautilus Books for a Better World Gold winner as Best Inner Prosperity/Right Livelihood Book Praise for The Prosperous Heart "Cameron (The Artist's Way) has written a book addressed to our times, offering advice on how to begin to fulfill one's dreams in times of recession or austerity."
Drawing on her decades of experience as an expert on the creative process working with artists, Cameron shines a clear light on the path to forging a healthy relationship with money together with a rich creative life. In this wise book, she gives readers the courage and permission to live their lives as they create their art: with purpose, freedom, and inspiration.--Library Journal
"Many artistic and imaginative souls are troubled and often blocked by money worries. They are unsure about the future and afraid to take risks since they have no Plan B to put into action. In response to this grave situation, Cameron speaks to the darkness and the dread in creative people's hearts with an alternative: the prosperous heart which recognizes "a spiritual bottom line, not a fiscal one. Our faith, not our cash flow, is what brings to our lives comfort and ease....The book is chock-full of other down-to-earth material such as myths about money, trusting that we live in a benevolent universe and that things will turn out okay, clearing clutter away, finding community, and taking to heart the spiritual virtues and practices of forgiveness, kindness, generosity, and perseverance."
--Spirituality & Practice
"From content to presentation, Cameron shines...How we handle our money and lifestyles, and ultimately our very sense of happiness, is based on how we handle our self-image, emotions and beliefs. Trust, kindness, community, forgiveness (including for ourselves!) generosity - and a plan to help us balance all of this - is ours to study and live, in The Prosperous Heart."
