You Are Here for a Reason
Celeste Gianni has always been fascinated by metaphysical sciences and the spiritual realms, but she never realized she had such a strong connection to it all. Nor did she realize her deteriorating health was connected to the fact she had lost her ability to put herself first and pursue her own dreams and goals. With this realization and awareness, a new world opened for her. Not only did her health improve, but she became a better wife and mother. In You are Here for a Reason, she shares the story of her spiritual journey and how she came to accept her psychic gifts and clairvoyant abilities. After years of denying her real self and questioning her psychic visions, Gianni narrates how she came to terms with the forces from beyond and the messages they were trying to convey. With her mind, body, and spirit back in alignment, Gianni seeks to motivate others to change their lives and improve their health.

Pathways through Early Modern Christianities
In the midst of a global pandemic, the Frankfurt POLY (Polycentricity and Plurality of Premodern Christianities) Lectures on "Pathways through Early Modern Christianities" brought together a virtual, global community of scholars and students in the Spring and Summer of 2021 to discuss the fascinating nature of early modern religious life. In this book, eleven pathbreaking scholars from the "four corners" of the early modern world reflect on the analytical tools that structure their field and that they have developed, revised and embraced in their scholarship: from generations to tolerance, from uniformity to publicity, from accommodation to local religion, from polycentrism to connected histories, and from identity to object agency. Together, the chapters of this reference work help both students and advanced researchers alike to appreciate the extent of our current knowledge about early modern christianities in their interconnected global context—and what exciting new travels could lie ahead.

The Bacchus Claim
In Venice in 1939, Ben Cantarini, son of a respected Jewish art dealer, finds the preliminary drawing of Bacchus by Caravaggio, the brilliant 16th century painter. The Italian art world is turned upside down with excitement because the drawing has surfaced after 400 years and because it is the only sketch ever drawn by the great master. Ben hopes to build his future as an art dealer with this amazing find. But the start of World War II, followed by the onerous laws passed against Italian Jews, throws Ben's life into turmoil. The sketch elicits dark emotions in many who see it, jealousy, greed, and deceit, and it is stolen in Rome by a Gestapo agent. As he, his mother, and his sister are forced to flee their home and hide their Jewish identity, always just one step ahead of the Nazis, the Bacchus sketch is lost in the madness of war. Ben's romance with a Christian girl further complicates his efforts to reclaim the drawing. More than sixty years later, when a prestigious Manhattan auction house offers the drawing for sale, it falls to Ben's granddaughter to try to prove that the Bacchus sketch rightfully belongs to her family.
Arabic Printing for the Christians in Ottoman Lands
Arabic printing began in Eastern Europe and the Ottoman Levant through the association of the scholar and printer Antim the Iberian, later a metropolitan of Wallachia, and Athanasios III Dabbās, twice patriarch of Antioch, when the latter, as metropolitan of Aleppo, was sojourning in Bucharest. This partnership resulted in the first Greek and Arabic editions of the Book of the Divine Liturgies (Snagov, 1701) and the Horologion (Bucharest, 1702). With the tools and expertise that he acquired in Wallachia, Dabbās established in Aleppo in 1705 the first Arabic-type press in the Ottoman Empire. After the Church of Antioch divided into separate Greek Orthodox and Greek Catholic Patriarchates in...
White Shotgun
An extraordinary look inside the mind of the men of cosa nostra Lupara bianca ('White Shotgun') -- an Italian term that refers to a Mafia-style killing, in which no trace of the victim can be found. For thirty years, prize-winning Sicilian journalist Attilio Bolzoni has reported on the shadowy activities of Cosa Nostra. Now, for the first time, he has collected together a powerful anthology of rare interviews, court proceedings and transcripts of phone taps that together capture the essence of this most hidden of secret societies. From the 'traditional' Mafia of the early 20th Century to the 'Maxi' show-trials of the 1980s and beyond, White Shotgun is both a history of modern Sicilian crime, and a book about the twisted logic and language of Cosa Nostra. From the most humble of foot soldiers to famous pentiti ('grasses') and top-level Bosses, this is a portrait of the men who live by a code of silence -- in their own words.
A Bookie's Odds

But the day he no longer saw her as a skinny girl was the day he faced his biggest fight…his growing feelings for the woman he should not desire. As far as petite Georgia was concerned, she did not possess the qualities Nicholas looked for in a woman – she was definitely not his type and she knew it, so she never considered him to be anything more than a friend. But when her father is viciously attacked and Nicholas's sister is also hospitalized, Georgia and Nicholas are forced to turn to each other for comfort and discover the attraction is stronger than either one of them had imagined. But can their parents accept this new relationship?
Roma in the Medieval Islamic World
Winner of the 2022 Dan David Prize for outstanding scholarship that illuminates the past and seeks to anchor public discourse in a deeper understanding of history In Middle Eastern cities as early as the mid-8th century, the Sons of Sasan begged, trained animals, sold medicinal plants and potions, and told fortunes. They captivated the imagination of Arab writers and playwrights, who immortalized their strange ways in poems, plays, and the Thousand and One Nights. Using a wide range of sources, Richardson investigates the lived experiences of these Sons of Sasan, who changed their name to Ghuraba' (Strangers) by the late 1200s. This name became the Arabic word for the Roma and Roma-affiliate...
