  From goat men to witch ladies and spooky little girls, dive into the haunted history of Plano, Texas.   Plano's old homes and businesses are rife with haunted history. Explore eerie urban legends like the Goat Man, the Clown Threat, and Ranch 111, where devil worshipers performed their rituals. The Evaporating Apparition spooked the staff at the Art Centre Theatre, while the grumpy spirit of an old rancher stalks the Masonic Lodge. Some specters are harmless, such as the Giggling Ghost, a little girl in the Cox Building with a penchant for peanut butter and pranks. Other figures own a more sinister reputation. The Witch Lady of Plano was feared by city youth and monitored by the FBI. Mary Jacobs examines the ghostly fallout of Plano's darkest moments, from the smallpox epidemic to the gruesome Muncey family murders.

  Edinburgh by Robert Louis Stevenson is a lyrical and deeply affectionate portrait of one of Europe's most storied cities. Blending memoir, history, and keen observation, Stevenson captures the spirit of Edinburgh not merely as a place, but as a living character shaped by time, memory, and imagination.
  
  Through vivid prose and reflective insight, Stevenson walks the reader through the city's winding streets, looming castles, shadowed closes, and dramatic contrasts between the Old Town and the New. Each scene is infused with personal recollection and literary sensitivity, revealing how Edinburgh's architecture, climate, and social life mold the character of those who dwell within it.
  
  More than a travel sketch, Edinburgh is a meditation on identity and belonging. Stevenson explores the city's dual nature—ancient and modern, austere and romantic—while reflecting on his own formative years spent among its stones and stories. History, legend, and everyday life intertwine, offering readers a richly textured understanding of Scotland's capital.
  
  Written with elegance, nostalgia, and quiet wit, Edinburgh stands as both a love letter to a city and a masterclass in literary observation. It will appeal to readers who enjoy classic travel writing, cultural essays, and evocative portrayals of place that linger long after the final page.
  
  A timeless work, this book invites readers to see Edinburgh through the eyes of one of its most celebrated literary sons.

  Undeniably, the world and its people desperately need more hope. Our friends, foes, family, and fellows are all experiencing challenging times and fighting their own battles, and author Peter Bailey is no exception. From his current vantage point as a successful influence in the leadership and human improvement field, one might assume he looks back on his life (the addiction, the recovery, the travel, the heartbreak, the love, the grief) with difficulty and hesitance. Rather, it is exactly this kind of reflection that helped him take on the role in his story he was meant to play: the hero. 
  In his debut book, The Epic of You, Bailey uses Joseph Campbell’s Heroic Journey as a framework to plot out your past and navigate your future. More than a plot device or literary standard, Bailey proves the Hero’s Journey is an effective and transformative life map by . . . 
  • detailing and exemplifying his own epic journey, 
  • analyzing the practical applications of Campbell’s framework, 
  • and guiding readers through their reflective process in the Heroic Journey Guidebook section. 
  Far more than the standard self-help text, this book is a personal story, a comprehensive methodology, and a step-by-step guide to wholeness. If you’re ready to rewrite your personal mythos and rekindle your hope, this book is for you.

  Mumbai - A Million Islands

  'Takes us to places that don't register in our everyday lives - a critical piece of work for future historians.'- Rahul Mehrotra, architect and professor, Harvard Graduate School of Design 
  'A timely book that brings slum dwellers into the public eye - as luxury apartments rise, millions remain invisible to policymakers.' - Shabana Azmi, actor and housing rights activist 
  'Reads like a tender love letter to a disappearing city - an important contribution to understanding our planet's complex urban future.' - James Crabtree, author of The Billionaire Raj, former Mumbai bureau chief, Financial Times 
   
  Since the East India Company merged seven islands into Bombay (now Mumbai), change has been constant-but now it is used as a weapon for displacement, disguised as development. Slums are erased overnight to make way for luxury towers priced in tens of crores. The working class is pushed to the margins-literally-and into distant housing projects with no infrastructure, transport or sanitation. Entire communities are uprooted while a new Mumbai is built for the privileged few, behind closed gates, inside glass walls. 
  Sidharth Bhatia's Mumbai: A Million Islands is a piercing look at a city in the throes of relentless transformation. What is vanishing is not just space, but memory, history and the very fabric of a living city. Mumbai's famed spirit of survival is being tested like never before. Where the original seven islands had symbolized a synergy, today they're multiplying as fractures-social, spatial and economic-splitting the city into a million islands, each more isolated than the other.
