Synopsis

The Life of Charlemagne: Vita Karoli Magni by Einhard (Bauer World Press)

The Vita Karoli Magni, or The Life of Charlemagne, is an esteemed historical text composed by Einhard, a learned contemporary and confidant of Emperor Charlemagne. Composed in the early 9th century, this biographical account stands as a paragon of Carolingian historiography and offers profound insight into the life and deeds of one of medieval Europe's most eminent sovereigns.

Through a new translation and contextual commentary, the Bauer World Press Edition of the Vita Karoli Magni aims to be the most comprehensive rendition of the twenty-first century. It will attempt to serve not only as a translation, but a contribution. It will attempt to weave a cohesive narrative around the lands, peoples, and key figures during the early days of the Carolingian Empire.

Many chapters have been augmented with information pertinent to the reader, endeavouring to provide context for both those well-versed with, and new, to the chronicles of Charlemagne. Finally, it will shed light on an often overlooked figure, the man behind the quill - Einhard.

Each story is accompanied by an exercise that will help the reader avoid the fate of a trapped, angry, or unprepared soul.Some reasons spirits haven't gone through the light include:They don't know they're dead.They are afraid of what could be waiting for them on the other side.They don't believe in an afterlife so they’re stuck in limbo.They are possessive over a person or object.They are terrified of change.How To Live a Happily Ever Afterlife is an eye-opening look at spirits—at what compels and holds them—and what you can do to avoid the same fate.

    As a five-year-old boy, Pao Lor joined thousands of Hmong who fled for their lives through the jungles of Laos in the aftermath of war. After a difficult and perilous journey that neither of his parents survived, he reached the safety of Thailand, but the young refugee boy’s challenges were only just beginning.Born in a small farming village, Pao was destined to be a Hmong clan leader, wedding negotiator, or shaman. But the course of his life changed dramatically in the 1970s, when the Hmong faced persecution for their role in helping US forces fighting communism in the region. After more than two years in Thai refugee camps, Pao and his surviving family members boarded the belly of an “iron eagle” bound for the United States, where he pictured a new life of comfort and happiness. Instead, Pao found himself navigating a frightening and unfamiliar world, adjusting to a string of new schools and living situations while struggling to fulfill the hopes his parents had once held for his future. Now in Modern Jungles, Pao Lor shares his inspiring coming-of-age tale about perseverance, grit, and hope.

    Heroic Epics brings together three of the most enduring mythological traditions in a single volume, illuminating the timeless stories of legendary figures whose deeds echo through the ages. This 3-in-1 collection explores the chivalrous world of The Arthurian Legends, the ancient struggles of The Epic of Gilgamesh, and the powerful, storm-laden sagas of Norse Myths Unveiled. Each tale reveals the values, fears, and aspirations of the cultures that gave them life—offering readers both entertainment and deep historical insight. 
    Step into the mystical realm of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table, where honor, love, and betrayal shape the fate of Camelot. Encounter familiar figures like Merlin, Lancelot, and Guinevere as they face trials of loyalty, power, and destiny. Then journey even further back in time to ancient Mesopotamia in The Epic of Gilgamesh, one of humanity’s oldest recorded stories. Follow the mighty king of Uruk on his quest for immortality, friendship, and meaning in a world shaped by gods and fate. 
    Finally, Norse Myths Unveiled dives into the chilling, awe-inspiring world of Viking mythology—where gods like Odin, Thor, and Loki roam among giants, monsters, and warriors. These tales pulse with prophecy, epic battles, and the ultimate fate of the cosmos: Ragnarök. Heroic Epics offers a thrilling ride through centuries of storytelling and the powerful archetypes that continue to inspire modern fantasy and heroic fiction.

    Archetypes can help you write stories that tap the depths of the human experience. This 45-minute guided meditation will help you dive deep into your subconscious creativity and write a resonant Maiden Arc story.  
    As the first archetypal journey in the cycle of life arcs, the Maiden represents a crucial initiatory experience. This coming-of-age arc will take you and your characters on a journey through all the challenges of growing up, individuating from authority figures, and finding an identity and role in a wider world that often seems overwhelming and even dangerous.  
    This meditation will help you visualize and imagine important characters and settings. It gives you the opportunity to explore every vital beat while offering all the space you need to find your own unique story. It will show you how your character may interact with corresponding archetypal antagonists (Authority and Predator) and grapple with a thematic Lie and Truth (Submission vs. Sovereignty) in order to evolve from Innocent to Individual.   
    (Note: Although a feminine arc, this journey may be taken by any character of any gender. Gender-neutral terms are used throughout the meditation to help you apply its imagery to the specifics of your own story.) 
    K.M. Weiland’s book Writing Archetypal Character Arcs taught writers how to identify and structure the six most important initiatory journeys of the human experience (Maiden, Hero, Queen, King, Crone, and Mage). These “life arcs” include the youthful Hero’s Journey as one of six, but go so much deeper to explore little-known feminine and elder arcs as well. 
    Now you can explore these archetypal journeys yourself by accessing the potent tool of “dreamzoning.” Just sit back and let your imagination take over as these audio adventures guide you through every important beat in the archetypal arcs.

    What if the greatest mystery of Nutrition… has gone unnoticed? 
    For generations we have accepted tidy explanations: 
    Eat this, avoid that, follow the rules. 
    But beneath the surface, something just doesn’t add up. 
    The human body thrives without our conscious control: 
    Meals disappear, nutrients are sorted, and energy appears out of nowhere – with no chef, no control tower, no captain. 
    Which really begs the question: how does it all work? 
    The Engineered Primate is a journey into the logistics of life. It is an exploration of the hidden mechanisms that shape us from the inside out. Each chapter peels back a layer: 
    Why does digestion even exist? 
    What was the environmental pressure in deep time that made a digestive system necessary? 
    How does order arise in a body with no conscious overseer? 
    …and why have we rarely asked these questions when creating our nutritional models? 
    This is not another diet manual. 
    It is a trail of clues inviting you to reconsider what you thought you knew about the very act of eating.
