Chartered in 1813, Livingston was largely farmland for more than the first century of its existence. Throughout the 20th century, and especially following World War II, the town developed, the farmland transforming into homes and commerce. Capturing everyday scenes and turning points in the town's past, Livingston chronicles the unique heritage of the community and the individuals who have worked together to help define it.

Phase III of DNA Consultants' Cherokee DNA Studies adds more than fifty new participants to what has become a classic project. They'd all been told there was no way they could be Indian given their DNA haplotype or mother's direct line. This book underlines the unavoidable conclusion that most "Indian" lineages in Eastern North America originally came across the Atlantic Ocean, not over any land-bridge from Asia. Update your priors with this sweeping attack on "big box" companies and know-it-all experts. Includes historical Cherokee photographs, genealogies, graphs, charts, references, index and raw data.

Guanyadora del Costa Prize i considerada la millor novel•la publicada a la Gran Bretanya el 2009, Brooklyn arriba ara a Catalunya amb el reconeixement massiu dels lectors anglosaxons i l’elogi unànime de la crítica internacional. Eilis Lacey, la jove irlandesa que es veu forçada a emigrar sola del petit Enniscorthy a la immensa Nova York de la meitat del segle XX, es converteix a desgrat seu en l’heroïna d’una gran història construïda a base de petites peces. La innocent Eilis haurà de bregar amb les companyes de dispesa i els estudis de comptabilitat, descobrirà l’amor –o alguna cosa semblant– i a causa d’un succés inesperat haurà de prendre la decisió més difícil de la seva vida. “–M’agradaria casar-m’hi –va dir ella amb aire dubtós–, però no estic preparada per casar-m’hi ara mateix. –Però, no dius que l’estimes? –És un home com cal. –I n’hi ha prou, amb això?”
El misteriós diamant groc d'una gran deïtat a l'Índia robat per un oficial anglès, una maledicció que pot afectar qui es queda aquesta joia singular, tres misteriosos indis que volen recuperar-lo, un gran casalot anglès on s'esdevé el robatori de la pedra preciosa a mitjan segle XIX i uns personatges construïts amb mestria. Amb aquests elements Wilkie Collins va escriure La pedra lunar, considerada per T.S. Eliot «la primera, la més llarga i la millor de les modernes novel·les detectivesques d'Anglaterra».
RECALL deals with past lives and how they affect the present. The novel comprises three books: The Byblos Light, The Carthage Incident and The Golden Age. Julien and Nancy Ritter discover that their destinies have been coupled in previous lives in ancient Byblos and Carthage. The conflicts and machinations enacted in the past millennia find echoes in the present, and as dormant memories surface in pools of awareness they are once more drawn into the battle between the powers of darkness and light. Their willingness to recall the past and the lessons which it affords may lead them into the Golden Age. The book is set in the Byblos and Carthage of the past, and in present day Lebanon and Tunisia.
