GHOSTS
A Natural History: 500 Years of Searching for Proof
Roger Clarke
"Ghost-hunting gets a gentlemanly makeover in this
meticulous history of hauntings. . . . Excerpts from letters,
illustrations of experiments and many complex family trees
ground in reality what could be dismissed as fantasy."
— Kirkus Reviews
Few of us are completely immune to the suggestion of
the uncanny and the fear of the
dark. Taking us through hauntings
that have obsessed the world,
Roger Clarke unfolds a story of
class conflict, charlatans, and true
believers. Written as grippingly
as the best ghost fiction, it is a
chronicle of the most haunted places
of the last five hundred years — and
of our longing to believe.

THE TRAIN TO CRYSTAL CITY
FDR's Secret Prisoner Exchange Program and America's Only
Family Internment Camp during World War II
Jan Jarboe Russell
"Russell pulls no punches describing the cost of war and
the conditions internees endured. . . . a powerful piece."
— Publishers Weekly
From 1942 to 1948, trains delivered thousands of Japanese,
German, Italian immigrants and their American-born
children to a family internment
camp in Texas. Crystal City
was the center of a government
program called "quiet passage,"
under which hundreds were
exchanged for more important
Americans held behind enemy
lines. Jan Jarboe Russell details
a little-known story of how the
definition of American citizenship
changed under the pressure of war.

THE MAP OF HEAVEN
How Science, Religion, and Ordinary People Are Proving the
Afterlife
Eben Alexander, M. D. with Ptolemy Tompkins
"Though neuroscience is Alexander's field, his newly
enhanced spirituality and belief in the preternatural are
firmly asserted throughout a text written with assertive yet
compassionate prose." — Kirkus Reviews
After writing Proof of Heaven, Dr. Eben Alexander heard
from the thousands affected by his story. He studied what
the world's religious traditions and philosophers have said
about the soul's survival of death.
Part metaphysical detective story,
part manual for living, The Map of
Heaven explores our spiritual history
and the birth of modern science,
showing how we forgot, and are at
last remembering, who we really are
and what our true destiny is.

GIRL IN THE DARK
A Memoir
Anna Lyndsey
"This book is a gift, a testament to the power of art as a
saving grace."
— Susannah Cahalan, New York Times bestselling author
of Brain on Fire
Anna was ambitious and worked hard. She'd just bought
an apartment and was falling in love. Suddenly, her face
felt like it was burning when in front of the computer.
This progressed to intolerance of fluorescent light, then
of sunlight. Now she must spend
months in a blacked-out room, at
best venturing cautiously out at
dawn and dusk. And then there is
Pete. With gorgeous prose, Anna
brings us into the dark with her,
from which we emerge to see the
world, anew.
