A single phone call changes Anthony's life forever. Something about Diane's voice is different-distant. Instinctively, he realizes that his wife is in trouble. Something has gone horribly wrong, but what? He retraces her route to a nearby restaurant and witnesses the aftermath of a grisly traffic accident. He soon discovers that it's Diane under the bloody sheet. The trauma of her death triggers his first out-of-body experience and communication with her. It continues to haunt him. He wants to believe the encounter is genuine, but is it? He fears the psychological impact has put him over the edge. Shock and grief take over Anthony's life, setting-off paranormal episodes and hallucinations. He is suddenly thrust into timeless worlds that exist just beyond the five senses, yet seem to be an extension of physical reality and two simple truths hidden in plain sight

Available for the first time in English, this is a major work of scholarship, originally published in Geneva in 1969 by a distinguished French historian of the famous Annales school and President of the Institut du Livre. By placing the publishing trade at the center of the study of the intellectual, political, and economic evolution of Europe through examination of the physical evidence, Martin has revolutionized historical narrative. He shows the printed book to be the focus of society's cultural well-being.  This is an exhaustive look at the most highly developed book trade of the period, the century from 1598 to 1701 in France. The inquiry is consistently set against the background of international and internal political and religious conflict.

In God's Acres, six-years-old Bud tells the story, set in the 1950's, of his family's relocation from St. Joseph, Missouri to a small farm just outside of town. The twelve-acre homestead represents the idyllic life for Bud's mother, the story's central figure- a woman driven by unwavering religious beliefs and a rigid work ethic- but it turns out to be the source of much heartache.\n﻿With an endearing earnestness and bits of laugh-out-loud humor, Bud intertwines signal developments in the lives of his family members with key world events-all of which seems to be of equal importance from his perspective as a child. At the start of each chapter, an adult Bud speaks from the present, closing the circle on a complex tale of family relationships.

“A sober riposte to all the upbeat forecasts about cryptocurrency” — New York Review of Books “A very convincing takedown of the whole phenomenon” — BBC News
An experimental new Internet-based form of money is created that anyone can generate at home; people build frightening firetrap computers full of video cards, putting out so much heat that one operator is hospitalised with heatstroke and brain damage.
A young physics student starts a revolutionary new marketplace immune to State coercion; he ends up ordering hits on people because they might threaten his great experiment, and is jailed for life without parole.
Fully automated contractual systems are proposed to make business and the law work better; the contracts people actually write are unregulated penny stock offerings whose fine print literally states that you are buying nothing of any value.
