Cabins in the Laurel
In 1928 New York native Muriel Earley Sheppard moved with her mining engineer husband to the Toe River Valley -- an isolated pocket in North Carolina between the Blue Ridge and Iron Mountains. Sheppard began visiting her neighbors and forming friendships in remote coves and rocky clearings, and in 1935 her account of life in the mountains -- Cabins in the Laurel -- was published. The book included 128 striking photographs by the well-known Chapel Hill photographer, Bayard Wootten, a frequent visitor to the area. The early reviews of Cabins in the Laurel were overwhelmingly positive, but the mountain people -- Sheppard's friends and subjects -- initially felt that she had portrayed them as too old-fashioned, even backward. As novelist John Ehle shows in his foreword, though, fifty years have made a huge difference, and the people of the Toe River Valley have been among its most affectionate readers. This new large-format edition, which makes use of many of Wootten's original negatives, will introduce Sheppard's words and Wootten's photography to a whole new generation of readers -- in the Valley and beyond.

The Laurel & Hardy Theory of Consciousness
"Despite research on the brain, the mystery of the mind remains, since modern science refuses to formally address the problem of consciousness. "The human brain has two halves that are almost identical and the question of why this should be remains unsolved." Colin Wilson likens these halves -- left and right hemispheres -- to a Laurel & Hardy relationship, a classic interaction in which one takes its cue from the other. But trouble arises when there is a failure of cooperation; then it seems as if the brain contains separate selves. What is important is not dominance or a comic assertion for independence but a new understanding of individual function: how conscious effort of control, or cooperation, based upon a change of attitude, can "bring about immediate changes in the quality of human consciousness.""--Page 4 of cover.

The Laurel Bush
The Laurel Bush is a romance story by Dinah Maria Mulock Craik. Craik was an English novelist and poet. Excerpt: "The "every day" on which Mr. Roy had reckoned for seeing his friend, or whatsoever else he considered Miss Williams to be, proved a failure. Her youngest pupil fell ill, and she was kept beside him, and away from the school-room, until the doctor could decide whether the illness was infectious or not. It turned out to be very trifling—a most trivial thing altogether, yet weighted with a pain most difficult to bear, a sense of fatality that almost overwhelmed one person at least. What the other felt she did not know. He came daily as usual; she watched him come and go, and sometimes he turned and they exchanged a greeting from the window. But beyond that, she had to take all passively. What could she, only a woman, do or say or plan? Nothing. Women's business is to sit down and endure."
