In "The Puzzle of Dickens's Last Plot," Andrew Lang delves into the enigmatic final work of one of England's most celebrated novelists, Charles Dickens. Combining a narrative analysis with keen literary criticism, Lang meticulously examines the intricacies and unresolved threads woven throughout Dickens's unfinished manuscript, "The Mystery of Edwin Drood." Utilizing a rich tapestry of literary allusions and historical context, Lang situates Dickens within the Victorian literary landscape, illuminating the author's stylistic evolution while probing the cultural and psychological factors that may have influenced his final narrative choices. Andrew Lang, a renowned Scottish poet, novelist, and literary critic, possessed an intimate familiarity with Dickens's oeuvre, which undoubtedly informed his exploration of this complex text. His diverse academic background—spanning folklore, anthropology, and literary history—equipped him with the analytical tools necessary for deciphering the layers of meaning in Dickens's work. Lang's admiration for Dickens's artistry also renders this exploration a deeply personal endeavor, reflecting a scholar profoundly engaged with literary legacy and modern interpretation. For scholars, students, and avid readers alike, Lang's "The Puzzle of Dickens's Last Plot" serves as an indispensable guide to understanding the unresolved mysteries of Dickens's narrative ambitions. This thoughtful and analytical exploration provides fresh insights into the author's creative mind, making it a compelling read for anyone interested in Victorian literature or the intricacies of literary endings.

  • A Nation Fermented - Beer Bavaria and the Making of Modern Germany - cover

    A Nation Fermented - Beer...

    How did beer become one of the central commodities associated with the German nation? How did a little-known provincial production standard—the Reinheitsgebot, or Beer Purity Law—become a pillar of national consumer sentiments? How did the jovial, beer-drinking German become a fixture in the global imagination? 
 
 
 
While the connection between beer and Germany seems self-evident, A Nation Fermented reveals how it was produced through a strange brew of regional commercial and political pressures. Spanning from the late nineteenth century to the last decades of the twentieth, A Nation Fermented argues that the economic, regulatory, and cultural weight of Bavaria shaped the German nation in profound ways. Drawing on sources from over a dozen archives and repositories, Terrell weaves together subjects ranging from tax law to advertising, public health to European integration, and agriculture to global stereotypes. 
 
 
 
Offering a history of the Germany that Bavaria made over the twentieth century, A Nation Fermented both eschews sharp temporal divisions and forgoes conventional narratives centered on Prussia, Berlin, or the Rhineland. In so doing, Terrell offers a fresh take on the importance of provincial influences and the role of commodities and commerce in shaping the nation.

    "The Analysis of Mind" by Bertrand Russell is a philosophical book that explores the nature of the mind and consciousness. In this work, Russell argues that mental phenomena can be analyzed and understood through the principles of logic and mathematics. He posits that the mind can be divided into two categories: the "conscious mind" and the "unconscious mind". The conscious mind is the part of the mind that we are aware of, while the unconscious mind is the part that we are not aware of but which still influences our behavior. Read in English, unabridged.

    “UAPs and the Nuclear Puzzle will help inform the public and move us forward on our journey toward a new understanding of history, UAP, and of our own true nature with respect to the larger reality that is revealing itself to us.” —Leslie Kean, bestselling author of UFOs: Generals, Pilots, and Government Officials Go on the Record   “I can’t overstate the significance of military testimony from witnesses such as former launch control officer Robert Salas. It’s brave folks like him who have kept me pushing for further government transparency on what may turn out to be the biggest story in modern times.” —James Fox, director and producer of Moment of Contact   Robert Salas, a retired United States Air Force officer, witnessed firsthand a UAP (unidentified aerial phenomenon) while visiting and disabling nuclear missiles. He shares his experience as well as the many incidents of similar visits during the last eighty years that have been covered up.   In 1969, the US Air Force issued a statement that read‚ “No UFO reported, investigated, and evaluated by the Air Force was ever an indication of threat to our national security.” This statement has been proven untrue by the testimony of many military officers and airmen and the documentation of incidents involving UFOs and nuclear weapons, testimonies of which the US Air Force was fully aware. UAPs and the Nuclear Puzzle details many of these testimonies—some for the first time.

    This audiobook unites two profound works by visionary mystic Neville Goddard: "He Breaks the Shell" (1964) and "I Know My Father" (1960), paired with an exclusive guided meditation by Richard Hargreaves to deepen your journey of self-realization. Blending timeless spiritual philosophy with actionable practices, this special edition invites you to transcend limitations, reclaim your divine identity, and awaken the creator within.  In He Breaks the Shell, Neville unveils the transformative process of resurrection as an awakening within the “sepulcher” of the human skull—a mystical rebirth into your Christ-consciousness. Through vivid scriptural analysis and firsthand mystical testimony, he reveals how God’s four mighty acts (resurrection, fatherhood, temple-splitting, and divine affirmation) dismantle the “shell” of mortal identity, birthing you as “the image of the invisible God.” This esoteric masterwork reframes biblical prophecy as an inward journey: “God became man that man may become God.”  I Know My Father distills Neville’s cornerstone teaching: “Your awareness of being is God.” Here, he dismantles illusions of separation, reframing “God” as your I AM presence—the formless awareness that molds reality. Through razor-sharp insights, Neville empowers you to shed limiting attachments, wield consciousness as the “foundation stone” of creation, and manifest desires by “wearing” new states of being. “To claim ‘I AM free’ is to let your savior in,” he teaches—a call to dissolve lack through radical self-revaluation.   
The meditation by Hargreaves is designed to anchor Neville’s teachings into daily practice. Through breathwork, visualization, and manifestation techniques, this immersive session helps you manifest from unwavering faith.   
"He Breaks the Shell and I Know My Father—Special Edition" is a roadmap to self-deification. Neville’s revelations dissolve the illusion of separation, empowering you to wield imagination consciously and sculpt a life of purpose.
