The Secret Country
The Secret Country is the first monograph on the work of the contemporary American novelist Jayne Anne Phillips. Through detailed and innovative textual analysis this study considers the southern aspects of Phillips' writing. Robertson demonstrates the importance of Phillips' place within the southern literary canon by identifying the echoes of William Faulkner, Katherine Anne Porter and Edgar Allan Poe that permeate her work. Phillips' complex attachments to a regional past are explored through both psychoanalytical and historical materialist approaches, revealing not only the writer's distinctly southern preoccupations, but also her reflections on contemporary American society. Tracing the family dynamics in Phillips' work from the turn of the twentieth century to the present, this book examines the effects of increased modernization and capitalization on everyday interactions, and questions the nature of the author's backward glance to the past. This volume is of interest for a wide audience, particularly students and scholars of contemporary southern and American literature.

Transmutation and the Human Consciousness
What happens when you die? Where do you go? How does it feel? Preparing for the best possible transition involves preparation. In Transmutation and the Human Consciousness, author Ann Edgecliff presents a manual to help you achieve transmutation by preparing your body and spirit while you’re on this plane. Edgecliff discusses that we are all energy. And in death, your energy doesn’t just stop. It takes another form. It converts (or transmutes) from one type of energy into another. That transition may be difficult for some. It may also be feared. Transmutation and the Human Consciousness eases your fear by creating a relationship between you and one or more of the specific energies who have agreed to participate. Acknowledging, understanding, and overcoming your fears in this life play a crucial role in your next journey.

Vegetarianism
Vegetarianism seems to be increasing in popularity and acceptance in the United States and Canada, yet, quite surprisingly, the percentage of the population practicing vegetarian diets has not changed dramatically over the past 30 years.
