Iain McCalman

St. Germain, Casanova, and Count Cagliostro were all contemporaries. Cagliostro was one of the eighteenth century adventurers who roamed Europe sometimes acting as alchemists, mystics, or healers. But in any case, there was a lot rogue in Count Cagliostro. This is a rather rare book that I found in an old New Orleans used bookstore.

The Greatest Enchanter of the Eighteenth Century

Biography of the eighteenth century quack, charlatan and murderer who was to the French Revolution what Rasputin was to the Russian. Guiseppe Blasamo was born in the mid-eighteenth century in the slums of Palerno, Sicily, he would rise from obscurity to become the legendary Count Alessandro di Cagliostoro, whose dangerous charm and reputed healing would make him the darling - and bane - of upper-crust Europe. Moving through the period between the Age of Enlightenment and the French Revolution - a time when reason and superstition co-mingled in the minds of even the best educated - Cagliostro earned a reputation for dazzling kings, feeding the poor, healing the ill and, most conspicuously, relieving the careless rich of their money, He tangled with most of the major figures in Europe at that time, including Cassanova, Mozart, Goethe and Catherine the Great. Eventually a lifetime of political intrigue led him to become the key figure in The Diamond Necklace Affair, which many believe precipitated the French Revolution itself, and which would eventually lead to his own downfall and death while imprisoned half insane by the Inquisition.

Light Hardcover (1 lb or less)

Julius Caesar is dead, assassinated on the senate floor, and the glory that is Rome has been torn in two. Octavian, Caesar's ambitious great-nephew and adopted son, vies with Marc Antony and Cleopatra for control of Caesar's legacy. As civil war rages from Rome to Alexandria, and vast armies and navies battle for supremacy, a secret conflict may shape the course of history. Juba, Numidian prince and adopted brother of Octavian, has embarked on a ruthless quest for the Shards of Heaven, lost treasures said to possess the very power of the gods-or the one God. Driven by vengeance, Juba has already attained the fabled Trident of Poseidon, which may also be the staff once wielded by Moses. Now he will stop at nothing to obtain the other Shards, even if it means burning the entire world to the ground. Caught up in these cataclysmic events, and the hunt for the Shards, are a pair of exiled Roman legionnaires, a Greek librarian of uncertain loyalties, assassins, spies, slaves . . . and the ten-year-old daughter of Cleopatra herself. Michael Livingston's The Shards of Heaven reveals the hidden magic behind the history we know, and commences a war greater than any mere mortal battle.

A Detailed Description of the Process of Every Kind of Realization, the Law of Attraction, from Quantum Fields and Mind, to the Matter

The Hidden Power of the Universal Laws Revealed.

The well-known Law of Attraction is presented in this book in a completely new way, through the explanation of the relations of the higher dimensions, which in the esoteric science are characterized by elements (earth, water, fire, air and ether).

These higher dimensions constitute not only cosmos, but at the same time man, and hence man has a physical body (earth), emotional (water), energetic (fire), and a mental body (air). The nature of the ether (akasha) as a universal quantum field is treated specially, as it contains all the potentials of the whole existence, as well as the connection of the mind, the power of thought, with the quantum field.

This precise connection of our mind with the quantum field is the key factor in the Law of Attraction, as well as the implementation of the idea through the higher dimensions of existence with an equal force and permanence, in order to achieve it on the physical plane.

This book, in other words speaks of how to be complete and stable in our intention to achieve something, but complete in all dimensions, not only the sensual and material one. From the formation of the idea (mental body) through the investment of energy (energetic body) and imagination (astral body) to providing physical conditions for the idea to be realized.

Katy Tur

The famous journalist had an interesting and challenging childhood. In particular, her father was in some ways a genius and inspiration and in other ways an abusive fool. 

A Memoir

From MSNBC anchor and New York Times bestselling author Katy Tur, a shocking and deeply personal memoir about a life spent chasing the news.

"By the time I was two years old, I knew to yell 'Story! Story!' at the squawks of my parents' police scanner. By four, I could hold a microphone and babble my way through a kiddie news report. By the time I was in high school, though, my parents had lost it all. Their marriage. Their careers. Their reputations."

When a box from her mother showed up on Katy Tur's doorstep, months into the pandemic and just as she learned she was pregnant with her second child, she didn't know what to expect. The box contained thousands of hours of video--the work of her pioneering helicopter journalist parents. They grew rich and famous for their aerial coverage of Madonna and Sean Penn's secret wedding, the Reginald Denny beating in the 1992 Los Angeles riots, and O.J. Simpson's notorious run in the white Bronco. To Tur, these family videos were an inheritance of sorts, and a reminder of who she was before her own breakout success as a reporter.

In Rough Draft, Tur writes about her eccentric and volatile California childhood, punctuated by forest fires, earthquakes, and police chases--all seen from a thousand feet in the air. She recounts her complicated relationship with a father who was magnetic, ambitious, and, at times, frightening. And she charts her own survival from local reporter to globe-trotting foreign correspondent, running from her past. Tur also opens up for the first time about her struggles with burnout and impostor syndrome, her stumbles in the anchor chair, and her relationship with CBS Mornings anchor Tony Dokoupil (who quite possibly had a crazier childhood than she did).

Intimate and captivating, Rough Draft explores the gift and curse of family legacy, examines the roles and responsibilities of the news, and asks the question: To what extent do we each get to write our own story?

Bernard Cornwell

I bought this book with some hesitation, wondering if this would be a dry retelling of an old European battle. I was pleasantly surprised! I couldn’t stop reading it as Cornwall made the battle and those fighting it come to vivid life. It was also interesting learning about the Duke of Wellington, a historical hero not well known to Americans.

The History of Four Days, Three Armies, and Three Battles

#1 Bestseller in the U.K. From the New York Times bestselling author and master of martial fiction comes the definitive, illustrated history of one of the greatest battles ever fought—a riveting nonfiction chronicle published to commemorate the 200th anniversary of Napoleon’s last stand. On June 18, 1815 the armies of France, Britain and Prussia descended upon a quiet valley south of Brussels. In the previous three days, the French army had beaten the Prussians at Ligny and fought the British to a standstill at Quatre-Bras. The Allies were in retreat. The little village north of where they turned to fight the French army was called Waterloo. The blood-soaked battle to which it gave its name would become a landmark in European history. In his first work of nonfiction, Bernard Cornwell combines his storytelling skills with a meticulously researched history to give a riveting chronicle of every dramatic moment, from Napoleon’s daring escape from Elba to the smoke and gore of the three battlefields and their aftermath. Through quotes from the letters and diaries of Emperor Napoleon, the Duke of Wellington, and the ordinary officers and soldiers, he brings to life how it actually felt to fight those famous battles—as well as the moments of amazing bravery on both sides that left the actual outcome hanging in the balance until the bitter end. Published to coincide with the battle’s bicentennial in 2015, Waterloo is a tense and gripping story of heroism and tragedy—and of the final battle that determined the fate of nineteenth-century Europe.

Grant Cameron

Grant Cameron is a smart paranormal investigator who has painstakingly cataloged and explained all of the contact modalities with other realities.

The Keys to the Universe

Contact modalities are gateways to the paranormal world that have mystified humanity for centuries.Inside, we examine over 70 modalities that people can use to transcend the waking states of reality entering into realms of the magical and mystical. Examples of this would be: UFO contact with non-human intelligences, psychic powers, spirit contact, remote viewing, telepathy, hypnosis, meditation, psychedelics, channeling, and a host of other examples are also used to pierce the veil.Throughout history, we have seen the diversity of these contact modalities. Though we have made efforts to categorize these modalities in the past and see them as a separate phenomenon, the similarities are undeniable and ultimately serve the same purpose.This book also looks at the nature of mind, memory and brain research showing that many reported claims of contact are not imagined. This same research is helping to explain how people explore breaks with waking consciousness. The reader will learn that it is entirely attainable. We are now on the verge of being able to train people to create their own break from physical reality, accessing the many benefits from extended states of consciousness.

James A. Moore

James A Moore is a fantasy writer more people should know. He consistently delivers a good story.

An expedition into a hostile world leads to the discovery of a forgotten—and potentially dangerous—race in this “well-written epic fantasy series kickoff” (Publishers Weekly) Captain Merros Dulver is the first in many lifetimes to find a path beyond the great mountains of the Seven Forges and encounter, at long last, the half-forgotten race who live there. And it would appear that they were expecting him. But when he returns home, an entourage of strangers in tow, he starts to wonder if his discovery is truly something to celebrate—for the gods of this lost race are the gods of war, and their memories of that far-off cataclysm have not faded. The people of Fellein have lived with the legends of the Blasted Lands for many centuries. Lying far to the north, the Lands are a desolate, impassable place—the legacy of an ancient time of cataclysm. But even the dangers of the Blasted Lands cannot stop the occasional expedition into its fringes, where people search for any trace of the ancients and oft-rumored riches that once lived there.

A little Kabbalah, a little love story, and a little mystery. Intriguing and entertaining.

The Kabbalah of Moeshe Kapan

The Seventh Telling is a journey into the Kabbalah, a spiritual discipline hidden within the folds of Jewish history. Stephanie and Sidney have been studying with Moshe Katan, a kabbalist who shared his learning only when he perceived that a kabbalistic intervention might be necessary to save the life of Rivkah, his wife. What has happened to Moshe and Rivkah we do not know, only that their house is now being used for an extraordinary storytelling, a spiritual discipline to share with those willing to risk examining the very core of their beliefs.

The Seventh Telling

f8554460-8ea7-4476-a669-a4671703bb53-1

An intellectual mystery that entertains and educates at the same time.

From Louis Bayard, an ancient mystery, a lost letter, and a timeless love unleash a long-buried web of intrigue that spans four centuries

In the late sixteenth century, five brilliant scholars gather under the cloak of darkness to discuss God, politics, astronomy, and the black arts. Known as the School of Night, they meet in secret to avoid the wrath of Queen Elizabeth. But one of the men, Thomas Harriot, has secrets of his own, secrets he shares with one person only: the servant woman he loves.

In modern-day Washington, D.C., disgraced Elizabethan scholar Henry Cavendish has been hired by the ruthless antiquities collector Bernard Styles to find a missing letter. The letter dates from the 1600s and was stolen by Henry's close friend, Alonzo Wax. Now Wax is dead and Styles wants the letter back.

But the letter is an object of interest to others, too. It may be the clue to a hidden treasure; it may contain the long-sought formula for alchemy; it most certainly will prove the existence of the group of men whom Shakespeare dubbed the School of Night but about whom little is known. Joining Henry in his search for the letter is Clarissa Dale, a mysterious woman who suffers from visions that only Henry can understand. In short order, Henry finds himself stumbling through a secretive worldof ancient perils, caught up in a deadly plot, and ensnared in the tragic legacy of a forgotten genius.
