Forced to abandon his family, trapped on the wrong side of a civil war, and unsure of who to trust, a young wanderer is caught in a bad way. If he is to make any sense of the world, he'll have to face arrogant nobles, blizzards and beasts of the wild, and the roots of a conspiracy far larger than himself. His employers can't be trusted, and his companions are little better than vagrants and liars. Soon his quest for coin and survival becomes much more complicated than he would have wished-and it was already too complicated to begin with. His slightly lacking talents with a blade will come to the test more than once, and other powers are just on the verge of arising...

The Psychogram was a periodical that ran from 1916-1977 at Greystone Park Psychiatric Hospital in Morris Plains, New Jersey. It provided the reader with information regarding the workings of a psychiatric hospital from the unique perspective of patients, who provide insight about their experiences and understanding of their treatment. Patients shared poetry, book reviews, and letters to staff. Staff also wrote articles for families that had relatives staying at the hospital to provide them with information regarding treatments and the general welfare of the institution. According to Sullivan, The Psychogram helped to dispel misconceptions that families had in relation to the treatment of the mentally ill within an institutional setting. Examining these unique voices of the patients and staff demonstrate how therapeutic programs changed and how occupational programs such as The Psychogram laid the groundwork for the future of the hospital.2021, 6x9, paper, 122 pp.

When the Revolutionary War began, Nathanael Greene was a private in the militia, the lowest rank possible, yet he emerged from the war with a reputation as George Washington's most gifted and dependable officer - celebrated as one of three most important generals. Upon taking command of America's Southern Army in 1780, Nathanael Greene was handed troops that consisted of 1,500 starving, nearly naked men. Gerald Carbone explains how within a year, the small worn-out army ran the British troops out of Georgia, South Carolina, and North Carolina and into the final trap at Yorktown. Despite his huge military successes and tactical genius Greene's story has a dark side. Gerald Carbone drew on 25 years of reporting and researching experience to create his chronicle of Greene's unlikely rise to success and his fall into debt and anonymity.
This study of the novels of Nathanael West begins with the important threads of West’s life and their relationship to his works. James F. Light gives a detailed analysis of each of West's novels, investigating in particular the works' treatment of social criticism and manipulation of dream and symbol.
