    The Marble Faun of Grey Gardens is Jerry Torre's touching and at times haunting memoir about his teenage days as caretaker of Grey Gardens, the now-celebrated mansion chronicled in the iconic documentary Grey Gardens and two feature-length films. The book, co-written with film historian Tony Maietta, is a behind-the-scenes look at "Big Edie" and "Little Edie" and their bizarre and reclusive life of squalor amidst the tremendous wealth of East Hampton, the family bond that developed between Jerry and them, and the day everything was turned upside down forever with the arrival of documentary filmmakers Albert and David Maysles. 
     
     
     
    What begins as a teenager coming upon what he assumed was an old, abandoned house takes on new dimensions when suddenly Edie appears on the porch draped in a shower curtain with an apron tied around her head. "You must be the Marble Faun," she tells the stunned Jerry. Rather than chasing him away as he at first feared, she invites Jerry to meet her mother upstairs. So begins a strange, unusually close friendship with the two women as Jerry takes on the task of volunteer gardener, often sleeping in their living room and staying out of mother-daughter arguments. The Marble Faun of Grey Gardens is Jerry's look back on the filming of Grey Gardens but also how the notoriety the movie achieved changed his life along with the Beales's.

    Albert Einstein was a Zen master?  
    I think so, and I aim to prove it.  
    Imagine understanding how Einstein viewed the world, the Universe, and God. What if you could have the same understanding? How could it change your own outlook on life? 
    Dr. Matthew Barnes, chemist, biochemist, doctor, and bestselling author of The Emerald Tablet 101, The Hermetica 101, The Tao Te Ching 101, The Bhagavad Gita 101, and Jesus Christ, Zen Master presents his case for Einstein as being not only one of the most influential scientists of our time but also one of the most spiritual (in his own, unique way).  
    In this work, you’ll discover:  
       • In what ways Einstein’s views of reality coincide with those of some of the greatest Zen masters to have ever lived, past and present.  
       • Why Einstein considered himself to be “a deeply religious nonbeliever”. 
        (Do you know what he considered himself to be instead?) 
       • Why Einstein felt his viewpoints on God to be a “somewhat new kind of religion”. 
        (Hint: It turns out that his views may not have been all that new, but really really old instead.) 
       • How you too can begin to enjoy Einstein’s view of the world, the Universe, and God.  
    “Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one.” -Albert Einstein

    A monumental new history of British conflict, publishing for the eightieth anniversary of VE Day 
    'Impressive. A hundred individual histories, skillfully assembled, built into a poignant meditation on why they still matter' David Olusoga 
    'Brilliant' Piers Morgan 
    Published for the eightieth anniversary of the end of World War Two, this moving book examines the inspirations and individuals behind our memorial-studded country. Acclaimed historian Tessa Dunlop travels the length and breadth of the United Kingdom on a quest to uncover a story of national warring and national mourning, of fighting each other and of fighting together. In so doing, Lest We Forget summons a stellar cast of veterans, military experts and families of the fallen to reveal what our monuments and war heroes say about us, both then and now. 
    Why did Scotland take nearly 600 years to commemorate its most famous freedom fighter? When did Wellington become anti-Establishment? Who are the Glorious Dead? Can the Cenotaph stay above politics? And how do you commemorate contested, asymmetrical wars? 
    Through veteran testimony and contemporary voices like Falklands hero Simon Weston and HRH The Duke of Kent, Tessa brings to life the pride and the pain involved in commemorating 2,000 years of war and peace across Scotland, England, Northern Ireland and Wales in a monumental British story. 
    Lest We Forget, freedom is not free. 
    'In this wonderfully incisive, moving and timely book about commemoration, Dunlop breathes life into 100 British monuments – some famous, others less so – that together reveal our island story. A stunning achievement.' Saul David 
    Dunlop's latest work, Lest We Forget, is a top pick for history enthusiasts. This non-fiction book, set to be a bestseller, explores the conflicts that have shaped our nation and the heroes who have emerged from them. 
    For fans of Alexander Larman (Power and Glory), Sally Bedell Smith (Grace & Power), J. Randy Taraborrelli (Jackie, Janet & Lee), Betty Webb (No More Secrets), and Michael Smith (The Real Special Relationship).
