Harold Weston's Freedom in the Wilds brings an informal history of the rugged Adirondack wilderness together with Weston’s own adventures there as an artist. The vivid and spirited stories he gathered from guides, lumbermen, and visionaries continue to make the case for preserving the wild lands of the region. First published in 1971, the book became a classic of Adirondack literature notable for its exploration of the dynamic relationship between wilderness and creativity and its ever more relevant appeal to protect an area within ourselves forever wild. In this third edition, Rebecca Foster brings Weston’s fascinating personal story to the foreground. A new section of the book with excerpts from Weston’s rich storehouse of letters and diaries will be a revelation to fans of Weston’s work or for anyone interested in the growth of an impassioned, artistic mind. Here too are new illustrations, explanatory notes, and an introduction tracing the irrepressible energy behind Weston’s accomplishments, including the writings in this book.

Brilliant. Ambitious. A great detective. Matilda Garrigan is none of these in The Matildas, a quirky, funny mystery with duplicates, duplicity, and an amateur sleuth in way over her head! ​​​​​​​Tiny book publisher Mitotic Press takes novels from one Earth and publishes them on a parallel Earth, thanks to a portal in a basement conference room. They're a team of book thieves with a pretty sweet (and very secret) business--until someone anonymously threatens to reveal Mitotic's portal to both Earths. ​​​​​​​Matilda Garrigan quit her dream job at Mitotic Press after she was too late returning from a business trip to the other Earth to prevent her girlfriend's death. Mattie's good at running away from her problems, and she's certainly no detective, but when Mitotic comes calling, she reluctantly channels her inner Nancy Drew to find out who's behind the threat. ​​​​​​​Mattie's investigation leads nowhere—and, predictably, she gives up—but when more clues are found and bodies start piling up, Mattie realizes that the mastermind can only be— ​​​​​​​—someone who's already dead. ​​​​​​​To keep Mitotic's portal a secret—and finally tell the perfect woman how she really feels—Mattie faces angry ex-lovers, terrible music, identical killers from multiple Earths, and a mystery that grows weirder by the day.

The book charts an extraordinary period in Danish history: the "Press Freedom Period" of 1770-73, in which King Christian 7's physician J.F. Struensee introduced a series of radical enlightenment reforms beginning with the total abolishment of censorship. The book investigates the sudden avalanche of pamphlets and debates, initiating the modern public sphere of Denmark-Norway. Publications show a surprising variety, from serious political, economic, and philosophical treatises over criticism, polemics, ridicule, entertainment, and to spin campaigns, obscenities, libel, threats. A successful coup against Struensee led to his subsequent public execution in Copenhagen, and the latter half of the period saw the gradual smothering of the new public sphere as well as an international pamphlet storm over what was happening in Denmark. Readers all over Europe proved curious to learn about the radical experiment with enlightened absolutism in Denmark; interest was heightened by the involvement of the Danish Queen, the English princess Caroline Matilda to whom Struensee had an intimate relation. The book is a detailed portrayal of a seminal event in the development of the public sphere in Europe.

It's late summer 1793, and the streets of Philadelphia are abuzz with mosquitoes and rumors of fever. Down near the docks, many have taken ill, and the fatalities are mounting. Now they include Polly, the serving girl at the Cook Coffeehouse. But fourteen-year-old Mattie Cook doesn't get a moment to mourn the passing of her childhood playmate. New customers have overrun her family's coffee shop, located far from the mosquito-infested river, and Mattie's concerns of fever are all but overshadowed by dreams of growing her family's small business into a thriving enterprise. But when the fever begins to strike closer to home, Mattie's struggle to build a new life must give way to a new fight-the fight to stay alive.

The Golden Nugget “Matilda’s Night Out and the Fortune Teller” is a fun short fiction story meant to offer its readers a bit of adventure and enjoyment. The story is a contemporary urban fairy tale that is bestowed upon the story characters by requiring that they each use “magical realism,” which is needed in order to create positive change and which arrives by way of encouragement of a warm, very likeable well-traveled experienced fortune teller. Unlike Cinderella, the magic of the fairy tale continues on into the everyday world in which the characters live. An unexpected special occasion and night out results in all having a fun time and a welcome surprise. The story identifies the significance of past, ancient story tales of many world cultures, which still influence us today for positive good. Folklore and foxfire used in past tradition is known today as contemporary folk magic, which gives each of us a bit of stardust and offers each of us hope today in understanding why superstitions, personal beliefs, good versus evil, the powers of “magical realism,” positive thought and one’s belief in self-magic reveal how folktales intend to heal the human spirit and instill one’s belief in both natural and self-magic. The purpose of the book is to encourage each of us to appreciate the true meaning of the first gypsy legends, who were the first trendsetter pioneers and human legends, whom both established and carried on enjoyable American traditions. The book encourages each of us to “never stop believing in the magic.” If you know of at least three superstitions you personally believe in or know of just for fun and know of a few special fairy tales, you should enjoy this book.
