    Briarcliff Mansion and the land it occupies are owned by Emory University, which refers to it as its "Briarcliff Campus." Fortune and Folly, in part, illuminates the largely lost story of how the mansion, and the entire surrounding neighborhood, got its name. But in order to understand the mansion, we have to understand the man who built it. 
     
     
     
    Briarcliff Mansion once belonged to a man named Asa Candler, Jr.—also known as Buddie. The second son and namesake of Coca-Cola founder Asa Griggs Candler, Buddie was a wealthy real estate developer of great successes and greater failures. A man of big vision and bigger adventures, and a socialite whose boisterous, unapologetic personality made him both beloved and reviled in the Atlanta community. But after he passed away in 1953, his stories faded from memory, either tangled up with or overshadowed by his father. 
     
     
     
    It's no mystery why Briarcliff garners attention. It's self-consciously grandiose, built to display maximum grandeur to the neighborhood. It towers over the landscape, set far back from the road behind a filled-in, overgrown pool. Its face is stitched together where a music hall was added two years after the main house was completed, and the bricks don't quite match up. This book offers a deep-dive into the life of Asa Candler, Jr. to excavate a piece—and place—of Atlanta history.

    The contents of this volume consist of addresses delivered at various times before Lodges of the Theosophical Society and selected for their reference to the subject of immortality. Some of them were published in The Path, Vol. II. 
    In order to make the chapters more or less coherent, the matter has been slightly rearranged, but certain repetitions will be noticed which are unavoidable, owing to the inter-relation of the subjects discussed and to the fact that, having been addressed to different audiences, some explanation of the bearing of the part on the whole was necessary. I have not attempted to eliminate these redundancies, for the philosophy, sketchily outlined herein, is not easy to grasp, inasmuch as its fundamental data and principles are in contradistinction to much of the current thought of our time. 
    I. THE APPROACH TO THE PATH and FOREWARD 
    II. THE RACES OF HUMANITY 
    III. SENSE-FUNCTIONS AND FACULTIES OF THE MIND 
    IV. INDIVIDUALITY AND PERSONALITY 
    V. BREATH AND DESIRE 
    VI. WILL, UNIVERSAL AND INDIVIDUAL 
    VII. THOUGHT - ITS ORIGIN AND CONTROL 
    VIII. BIRTH AND DEATH  
    IX. THE SOUL AND ITS MANIFESTATIONS

    In Canopy of Titans, Paul Koberstein and Jessica Applegate examine the global importance of the Pacific Coastal Temperate Rainforest that stretches from Northern California to Alaska. Their urgent and authoritative account sets out the threats facing a vital environmental resource, and celebrates the beauty and complexity of one of the world's great forests. 
     
     
     
    Drawing on years of on-the-ground reporting, Koberstein and Applegate pull back the curtain on policies of governmental bodies that have seriously diminished the rainforest's capacity to store carbon, and uncover industry practices that have led to the destruction of swaths of a major ecological resource. Additionally, using an environmental justice perspective, Canopy of Titans shines a light on the Indigenous communities that have lived in the rainforest for millennia, and the impact forest policies have had on their lives.
