A review: “Private life has always been a matter of public conjecture. This admirable book brings it intelligently into the web of social history and is a model for historians and readers like. Beautifully produced, it adds apt and rare illustrations to a text by experts who presuppose human curiosity, but no undue knowledge. Its range and level of argument will intrigue anyone who has wondered about past attitudes to such matters as sex and the family, household, social inferiors, dress, and even undress.”  -The Washington Post

Revelations of the Medieval World

A History of Private Life

Andrew Apostoli

“Because of the prophetic nature of her messages, the story of Our Lady was of Fatima has been the subject of much controversy and speculation. In this book, Fr. Andrew Apostoli, acclaimed expert on Fatima, carefully analyzes the events and messages at Fatima and clears up lingering questions and doubts about their meeting. He also challenges the reader to hear a new the call of Our Lady to prayer and sacrifice, for the world is ever in need of generous hearts willing to make reparation for those in danger of losing their way to God”

The Urgent Marian Message of Hope

Though the apparitions of Our Lady of Fatima took place almost a hundred years ago, Our Lady's call to prayer and penance for the salvation of souls and peace in the world is as relevant now as when first delivered to three Portuguese peasant children in 1917. At the peak of the First World War, Our Lady warned of another worldwide conflict, the rise and spread of Communism, and a terrible persecution of the Church unless people repented of their sins and returned to God. She also requested devotion to her Immaculate Heart and a special consecration of Russia. Much of what Our Lady of Fatima said was revealed soon after her appearances, but the third and final secret, which was not a message but a prophetic vision seen by the children, was not unveiled by the Vatican until 2000. Pope John Paul II, who read the third secret while recovering from the attempt upon his life in 1981, believed the vision signified the sufferings the Church had endured in the twentieth century. Because of the prophetic nature of her messages, Our Lady of Fatima has been the subject of much controversy and speculation. In this book, Father Andrew Apostoli carefully analyzes the events that took place in Fatima and clears up lingering questions and doubts about their meaning. He also challenges the reader to hear anew the call of Our Lady to prayer and sacrifice, for the world is ever in need of generous hearts willing to make reparation for those in danger of losing their way to God.

The Truth about God's Pharmacy

Maggie shares her strategies on exactly how she beat stage 4 cancer- naturally right from her own kitchen! Maggie reconnected with her Ozark Valley country roots, concocting and de-concocting powerful folk remedies designed to attack cancer cells. Through extensive research, Maggie discovered additional folk remedies from around the world that harness the power of the planet's most nutrient dense foods. Maggie brilliantly combined all these resources with elements of other proven protocols into one easy to understand step by step protocol. While many books will focus on the emotional aspects of fighting cancer, Maggie's book gives the reader her formula on precisely how she beat stage four cancer. When diagnosed with stage 4 cancer, Maggie searched for the ultimate book on how to beat cancer, but there was none to be found. Being the determined fighter that she is, she prayed to God for wisdom in her battle with cancer. Ultimately, this is the book that came from that prayer.Now includes index.

Boethius

David R. Slavitt

Seth Lerer

Book is in excellent shape with perfect binding. Listed as ‘Good’ because there is a lot of pencil underlining and some notes throughout the book. See photos for examples.

In this highly praised new translation of Boethius's The Consolation of Philosophy, David R. Slavitt presents a graceful, accessible, and modern version for both longtime admirers of one of the great masterpieces of philosophical literature and those encountering it for the first time. Slavitt preserves the distinction between the alternating verse and prose sections in the Latin original, allowing us to appreciate the Menippian parallels between the discourses of literary and logical inquiry. His prose translations are lively and colloquial, conveying the argumentative, occasionally bantering tone of the original, while his verse translations restore the beauty and power of Boethius's poetry. The result is a major contribution to the art of translation.

Those less familiar with Consolation may remember it was written under a death sentence. Boethius (c. 480-524), an Imperial official under Theodoric, Ostrogoth ruler of Rome, found himself, in a time of political paranoia, denounced, arrested, and then executed two years later without a trial. Composed while its author was imprisoned, cut off from family and friends, it remains one of Western literature's most eloquent meditations on the transitory nature of earthly belongings, and the superiority of things of the mind. In an artful combination of verse and prose, Slavitt captures the energy and passion of the original. And in an introduction intended for the general reader, Seth Lerer places Boethius's life and achievement in context.

 “Growing Up Around Tombstone is a family history of the Escapules. They are one of the oldest families still living in Tombstone, having integrated from France during the 1870s. The book tells how the escapes mind and built ranches, but mostly it tells of the families, life and struggles as recall by one of the second generation Escapules born in Tombstone. There is a detailed account of family, life, ranch work and horses, working and developing the mines, and making a living. The story takes the reader from the early days of Tombstone, through the war years, and up until the mid-1950s. The Escapules were close, hard-working, and loving family. There’s also a good depiction of life as it was lived by the townspeople.”

The book is rich in old family photographs and documents that help give a sense of the times and how people lived their day to day lives. There are also stories of many of the people living in Tombstone and the surrounding area. Ernest and Mildred Escapule and their family are the main characters. Tombstone, Arizona, became world famous for the rich silver and gold strike before the turn of the century, its lawless days, and the gun fight at the O K Corral.
