  Following on from the hugely popular Treasury of Folklore: Seasand Rivers and Woodlands and Forests comes Treasury of Folklore: Stars and Skies, an exploration of the mysteries of the stars, skies and heavens above.
  People have gazed up at the same stars for millennia, trading stories about them; conjuring gods and goddesses; mapping the constellations; and navigating the complex human world below. The tales, traditions and myths included here traverse countries and continents and have been chosen to highlight how humans are linked through time and place, with shared dreams, fears and ways of rationalising the unknown.
  Under 'Stars and Heavens' Willow delves into rosy fingered dawn and the hubris of Icarus, the Greek myths surrounding the constellations and the omen of meteors, the trials of the Hawaiian goddess Hina and the legend of the rabbit in the moon. In the section on 'Skies' we are introduced to winged Pegasus and the Firebird, the Witch of Westray and stories of storms, the mysteries of the Northern Lights and unexplained UFOs. 
  Treasury of Folklore: Stars and Skies is a fascinating portal into a rich history of myths surrounding the sky, an aspect of the natural world that continues to fascinate and confound.

  Every serial killer is a “nice guy”—until he’s found out. The shocking, true account of a Southern charmer who left a trail of victims in his wake. 
   
  Jerry Marcus fooled them all. He was “a nice guy,” always helped at home, did well in school, an athlete, and always employed. When things went wrong, he was the first to help clean up the mess. He was the last person anyone suspected of being a serial killer. 
   
  After Marcus was caught and sentenced to life in prison in the late ’70s, author Linda Lou Long spent years corresponding with him. The Tuskegee Strangler gives an inside look into the workings of a man who is not your typical serial killer.

  Blue Parenting blends Eastern and Western nurturing to raise remarkable problem solvers. This book was written by a best-selling author who interviewed 120 successful individuals to discover what contributed to their success, whether they have a common trait, or whether they all received excellent parenting. Five of those 120 interviewees are displayed here by dissecting their childhoods and lives. As the book progresses, the author points out what methods in child rearing can be harmful and what can excel the potential in children to develop problem-solving skills.  
  Blue Parenting does not use PUNISHMENT, NOR TIME OUTS.  
  Yet parents can raise highly disciplined, self-governed, empathetic and loving problem solvers. 
  You have to ADD elements from Eastern parenting and blend with Western parenting.
