The true story of a brave woman’s nearly 40 years in a polygamous cult, her eventual escape, and her struggle to integrate into a world she barely knew. 
In the early 1970s an innocent teenager who had led a sheltered life was forced to leave her family and enter into a polygamous, abusive, and deviant relationship with a man called the Prophet. In 2008, nearly 40 years later, she fled his religious sect. Property is not a misnomer. It accurately depicts how the women in the sect were treated. Carol Christie reveals the degradation, abuse, and brainwashing that the Church Wives endured. She exposes the physical abuse, the mental cruelty, the slave labour, and the sexual deviance that took place near Owen Sound, a small community just a few hours north of Toronto, as well as at other locations. She describes the many opportunities that officials had to investigate but walked away from, swayed by the charismatic Prophet. Carol is building a new life, one of freedom and options. With no money and no job she started again and is now dedicated to helping others who have escaped while raising awareness about the dangers of the cult.

Maine has long been a skier's paradise, whose iconic peaks such as Sugarloaf, Sunday River, and Saddleback often have more challenging types of snow cover than the deep powder that is the norm for western mountains. Now, Maine Ski Hall of Famer John Christie, author of the definitive history of the resort at Sugarloaf and veteran of Maine's ski industry, teams up with his son Josh to guide skiers to all the best places. Every public ski mountain or hill in the state is listed, along with pertinent information about trails, amenities, conditions, and personal anecdotes and suggestions from the authors, who have skied at all of them. Included are destinations for cross-country and downhill skiing, so no matter your preference, you'll be able to get out enjoy the white stuff.

1997 erhält John Berger von John Christie ein rot bemaltes Papier. Berger antwortet, er gibt der Farbe rot eine eigene »Lebensgeschichte«: das unberührte Rot der Kindheit, das Schwarz, in das es sich verwandelt im Älterwerden, das Weiß, das es war, als es jung war, bis er zu seinem Lieblingsrot, dem Caravaggio-Rot kommt. Später schreiben sich Berger und Christie über das Matisse-Blau, das Yves Klein-Blau, sie kommen von Klein zu Le Corbusier, von Perlmutt zu Courbet, von Gelb zu Gold, von Kandinsky zu Paul Klee... Die Publikation dieser faszinierenden Korrespondenz ist eine Schatzkammer für alle diejenigen, die sich für Farben, Gestaltung, Malerei, Kunstgeschichte und Design interessieren. Die phantasievoll und sehr künstlerisch gestalteten Briefe werden alle im Faksimile und in Übersetzung wiedergegeben.
