This Is It
Conor Creighton came out of the womb chewing his fingernails. A chaotic childhood saw his default mode set to 'generally miserable', so he left home at 17, vowing never to return. The ensuing decades of disorder resulted in chronic anxiety. At rock bottom, he signed up for a ten-day silent meditation retreat. It was hell. His legs ached. His butt felt like it was on fire. His mind threw at him a never-ending collage of regrets, wants and realisations. Then, suddenly, for the first time in nearly twenty years, he felt calm as relief and, eventually, joy washed over him. He learned that meditation has just one goal: to recognise that this is it. There is nothing else. No desire to get anywhere or change or improve anything. When Conor stopped trying to get somewhere or 'be someone' and realised that this, and this alone, is it, his anxiety abated, he learned to like himself and he discovered that he might even be happy. By remembering that 'this is it' in uncomfortable times and in comfortable times, your life can become a lot like meditation. In this highly entertaining, refreshingly honest memoir and meditation guide, you'll discover how.
The Final Mountbatten Report
This is the story of Churchill, Morton, Mountbatten and Ian Flemings Paladin who from the age of 15 was a contract killer carrying out some of the great deceptions that turned World War Two. As a British Double Agent, he played off German Double and Triple Agents and showed them around Top Secret British Naval bases in order to leak secrets and mislead the Germans. He blew up a Dutch submarine; blew up an entire German U-boat base in Ireland; met with Hitler with a clear opportunity to kill him; then met with Field Marshal Rommel which ended in the most excruciating torture scene. He admits to the murder of two British signals staff that had interpreted the coded messages: Japanese Aircraft Carriers headed towards Pearl Harbor, and admits to the murder of the French Admiral Darlan. Just before becoming the new James Bond, he attempted to shoot his British controllers, and all through it, continues his love affair with music and women. This report was requested by Lord Louis Mountbatten in 1976, but was not released by the Mountbatten Library, so the original author passed it to the publishers thirty years later, citing the wishes of Mountbatten.

William Krisel's Palm Springs
This first major monograph chronicling the work and architectural philosophy of William Krisel features examples and insights from Krisel's own papers, culled from his personal collection as well as the extensive archives of the Getty Research Institute. Krisel's architectural drawings and renderings, as well as many archival photographs, highlight examples of his custom homes, mass-produced housing, and recreational facilities in Palm Springs and rest of the Coachella Valley. Contemporary photographs are by architectural photographer Darren Bradley. Heidi Creighton is a midcentury modern enthusiast, writer, collector, and researcher. In 2012, she purchased a Palm Springs home designed by William Krisel in 1957. Chris Menrad, a Southern California native, was drawn to Palm Springs in 1999 by its abundance of modernist architecture. He is a founding board member of the Palm Springs Modern Committee, an organization dedicated to the preservation of Desert Modern architecture and a real estate agent specializing in architectural properties in the Coachella Valley. He lives in a Krisel-designed home, which was the first Palm Springs' Class One historic Krisel/Alexander-built house.
