The first multidisciplinary study of its kind, Breaking Crystal examines how members of the generation after the Holocaust in Israel and the United States confront through their own imaginations a traumatic event they have not directly experienced. Among the questions this groundbreaking work raises are: Whose memory is it? What will the collective memory of the Holocaust be in the twenty-first century, after the last survivors have given testimony? How in the aftermath of the Holocaust do we read and write literature and history? How is the memory inscribed in film and art? Is the appropriation of the Holocaust to political agendas a desecration of the six million Jews? What will the children of survivors pass on to the next generation?

In this unique book, author Jillian Aurelia Green guides readers down the path to creating a crystal collection that speaks to the soul. With mindful practice at its centre, The Crystal Collector explores every facet of the crystal collecting world, while providing inspiring and creative ways to enjoy crystals. Organized into three main sections, Part One offers a behind the scenes look at how crystals are mined, how to differentiate between counterfeit and natural stones, the best avenues for adding to one’s collection, and how to source crystals ethically and sustainably. Part Two, the heart of the book, offers beginners and enthusiasts alike an easy reference to potential crystal collections, whether one is more interested in the scientific mineral type, geologically-curious crystalline features, or by intentional properties. Part Three spotlights how to care for different types of crystals, and how to organize, curate, and utilize the stones and minerals in one’s collection, whether it’s the very first or the 100th addition. Beautiful photographs, along with tips, provide inspiration on how to organize and display crystal collections, while crystal grids offer ways to showcase one’s crystals with purposeful intention. This is the definitive guide to creating an ethically sound and mindfully focused crystal collection that will stay with the reader for life, with something new to discover on every reading. An essential reference book as well as a source for finding new ways to experiment with showcasing a crystal collection, The Crystal Collector is a must-have book.

Before Marcuse and Laing, before Heidegger and Sartre, even before Freud, the way was prepared for the anarcho-psychological critique of economic man, of all codes of ideology or absolute morality, and of scientific habits of mind. First published in 1974, this title traces this philosophical tradition to its roots in the nineteenth century, to the figures of Stirner, Nietzsche and Dostoevsky, and to their psychological demolition of the two alternative axes of social theory and practice, a critique which today reads more pertinently than ever, and remains unanswered. To understand this critique is crucial for an age which has shown a mounting revulsion at the consequences of the Crystal Palace, symbol at once of technologico-industrial progress and its rationalist-scientist ideology, an age whose imaginative preoccupations have telescoped onto the individual, and whose interest has switched from the social realm to that of anarchic, inner, 'psychological man'.

As Divinators, Casey and Oscar have used their psychic powers to defend humanity from sentient, extradimensional storms for one hundred years. But a storm more powerful than any before is brewing. MaalenKun, prince of the maelstrom, conqueror of countless realities, plans to turn the tables by infecting Casey’s mind. MaalenKun is not the only threat. Casey and Oscar must determine who they can trust: the eccentric trillionaire keeping them in the dark, the independent contractors with secrets of their own, or a seemingly helpful extradimensional being shrouded in mystery. As Casey works to defeat threats around and within himself, he must open to love for his chosen family, for Oscar, and for himself to unlock a transformative power capable of banishing MaalenKun. And Oscar must make a difficult choice that could cost him the future he dreams of. Can Casey and Oscar’s love break the storm?
