Summary

For over a century, Tarzan has captivated readers with his extraordinary adventures, bridging the divide between civilization and the untamed wilderness. The Tarzan Collection brings together seventeen of Edgar Rice Burroughs’ most thrilling novels, following the legendary Lord of the Apes from his origins in the African jungle to his daring quests across lost civilizations, mysterious lands, and distant worlds. A master of action, adventure, and storytelling, Burroughs created one of the most enduring and iconic heroes in literary history, a figure whose legend continues to inspire generations.     The saga begins with Tarzan of the Apes, where an orphaned child, raised by great apes, learns to survive in the jungle, only to discover his true heritage among men. His perilous journey continues in The Return of Tarzan and The Beasts of Tarzan, where betrayal, revenge, and the lure of the wild test his resolve. The Son of Tarzan expands the legend as his offspring is drawn into his father’s world, while Tarzan and the Jewels of Opar sends the hero back to a lost city brimming with danger and hidden treasure. Jungle Tales of Tarzan offers a glimpse into his formative years, revealing early encounters with friend and foe alike.     As the adventure intensifies, Tarzan finds himself in the midst of war, myth, and conquest. Tarzan the Untamed and Tarzan the Terrible pit him against invading armies and prehistoric horrors. In Tarzan and the Golden Lion, he forms an unbreakable bond with a mighty beast, while Tarzan and the Ant Men plunges him into a miniature world of warring civilizations. The intrigue deepens in Tarzan, Lord of the Jungle and Tarzan and the Lost Empire, where ancient kingdoms long hidden from history are brought to light. The adventure then takes a daring turn in Tarzan at the Earth’s Core, as he ventures into the subterranean world of Pellucidar.     In the later novels, Tarzan’s battles extend beyond the jungle into realms of espionage, lost cities, and high-stakes survival. Tarzan Triumphant and Tarzan the Invincible see him facing ruthless enemies and conspiracies that threaten both the jungle and the wider world. Tarzan and the City of Gold and Tarzan and the Lion Man bring him face to face with powerful rulers, dangerous alliances, and the fine line between civilization and savagery.     A definitive collection of heroic adventure, mystery, and survival, The Tarzan Collection showcases Edgar Rice Burroughs’ unparalleled ability to weave gripping tales of exploration and heroism. Whether battling predators, uncovering lost civilizations, or confronting the forces of man and nature, Tarzan remains one of literature’s greatest and most enduring heroes. Published by Classicus, this anthology is an essential volume for lovers of classic adventure fiction, taking readers on a breathtaking journey into a world where the wild still reigns, and a man raised by apes becomes a legend.

    The true crime story of a family of altruistic jewel thieves and four decades of daring capers and sweet escapes, including a 1992 New York mega-heist. 
 
Punch Stanimirovic insists: “My father, known as Mr. Stan, is the greatest gentleman thief who ever lived—a true genius.” 
 
Punch was raised to be an exceptional diamond thief. He could work magic on a safe that would have sent Mandrake the Magician back to the novelty store, and Dr. Strange back to medical school. He and his family risked it all to make the patriarch, Mr. Stan, proud. 
 
Punch’s pop culture sensibilities, his father’s proven skills, and his mother’s artistic input merged to create cinema-style capers—elaborately planned and executed, including a spectacular 1992 New York mega-heist of over one billion dollars in diamonds, gold, and precious gems—and they got away with it. 
 
Many of the crew members went on to invest in real estate, helping to “build the New York skyline”, while others moved to Europe and became the Pink Panthers. 
 
They had one rule: No One Gets Hurt. From daring heists to the ultimate escape, discover the true story of Punch, his extraordinary crew, and his high-society family . . .

Praise for Stealing Manhattan 
 
“Barer has that all-important knack for seeking and finding hidden truth. In Stealing Manhattan, those who pulled off this caper were professionals who knew how to keep their mouths shut. And lucky for us, some of these mouths have recently opened to Barer . . . now the world can know the truth. You will not want to miss this “gem” of a book!” —Kevin Sullivan, author of The Bundy Murders: The Yearly Journal

    Hitler's Girl - The British...

    A timely, riveting book that presents for the first time an alternative history of 1930s Britain, revealing how prominent fascist sympathizers nearly succeeded in overturning British democracy—using the past as a road map to navigate the complexities of today’s turn toward authoritarianism. 
Hitler’s Girl is a groundbreaking history that reveals how, in the 1930s, authoritarianism nearly took hold in Great Britain as it did in Italy and Germany. Drawing on recently declassified intelligence files, Lauren Young details the pervasiveness of Nazi sympathies among the British aristocracy, as significant factions of the upper class methodically pursued an actively pro-German agenda. She reveals how these aristocrats formed a murky Fifth Column to Nazi Germany, which depended on the complacence and complicity of the English to topple its proud and long-standing democratic tradition—and very nearly succeeded. 
As she highlights the parallels to our similarly treacherous time, Young exposes the involvement of secret organizations like the Right Club, which counted the Duke of Wellington among its influential members; the Cliveden Set, which ran a shadow foreign policy in support of Hitler; and the shocking four-year affair between socialite Unity Mitford and Adolf Hitler. 
Eye-opening and instructive, Hitler’s Girl re-evaluates 1930s England to help us understand our own vulnerabilities and poses urgent questions we must face to protect our freedom. At what point does complacency become complicity, posing real risk to the democratic norms that we take for granted? Will democracy again succeed—and will it require a similarly cataclysmic event like World War II to ensure its survival? Will we, in our own defining moment, stand up for democratic values—or will we succumb to political extremism?

    From the renowned author of A Year in the Maine Woods, the intimate, thoughtful reflections of a lifetime spent observing the natural world. 
 
For forty years, Bernd Heinrich has been ensconced in the woods of the northern, or boreal, forest, a vast sea of spruce, fir, and larch in the mountains of western Maine. All life confronts vast and occasionally rapid environmental changes, as one day, and one season, is to the next a completely different environment. Heinrich's narrative illuminates the complete experience of his seasonal life―with the ups and downs of not just the leaves and snow, but also the problems, solutions, and frustrations of unblinking immersion in nature. He observes the "common uncommon" of spiders, ants, chestnut trees, porcupines, owls, and mice as his story branches out into five themes: Being, Becoming, Interbeing, Remembering, and Returning. The Common Uncommon is a narrative of small surprises in nature, some delightful and some―brought on by climate change―devastating, all seen through the sharp eye of a world–renowned naturalist.

    Identity Theft, Second Edition is an update to the award-winning book that follows Stanford professor Debra Meyerson’s journey to recover from a severe stroke that initially left her physically incapacitated and unable to speak. In addition to providing realistic expectations for the hard work needed to regain everyday capabilities, Meyerson and Zuckerman focus on the less frequently documented – but equally critical – emotional journey as she and her family rebuild identity in recovery. The second edition adds perspective from an additional five years of continued recovery and rebuilding their lives, including insights from the work of the nonprofit they co-founded – Stroke Onward. Virtually every stroke survivor is haunted by questions like “Who am I now?” and “How do I rebuild a meaningful and rewarding life?” after losing so much of what they had before—capabilities, careers and jobs, relationships, and more. The first edition centered on Debra’s experience: her stroke in 2010, her extraordinary efforts to recover, and her journey to redefine herself. But she also draws on her skills as a social scientist, sharing stories from several dozen fellow survivors, family members, friends, colleagues, therapists, and doctors she met and interviewed. By sharing this diversity of experiences, Debra highlighted how every stroke is different and every recovery is different. The new content in this second edition was written by Debra and her spouse, Steve Zuckerman. They co-founded the nonprofit Stroke Onward to build an organization that can catalyze change in the healthcare system to better integrate the emotional journey of rebuilding identity into a lifelong recovery process. They’ve added new insights about the long-term recovery process and how we can change the stroke system of care to better support all survivors and their families.
