Book excerpt: These fascinating, never-before-published early diaries of Count Harry Kessler—patron, museum director, publisher, cultural critic, soldier, secret agent, and diplomat—present a sweeping panorama of the arts and politics of Belle Époque Europe, a glittering world poised to be changed irrevocably by the Great War. Kessler’s immersion in the new art and literature of Paris, London, and Berlin unfolds in the first part of the diaries. This refined world gives way to vivid descriptions of the horrific fighting on the Eastern and Western fronts of World War I, the intriguing private discussions among the German political and military elite about the progress of the war, as well as Kessler’s account of his role as a diplomat with a secret mission in Switzerland. Profoundly modern and often prescient, Kessler was an erudite cultural impresario and catalyst who as a cofounder of the avant-garde journal Pan met and contributed articles about many of the leading artists and writers of the day. In 1903 he became director of the Grand Ducal Museum of Arts and Crafts in Weimar, determined to make it a center of aesthetic modernism together with his friend the architect Henry van de Velde, whose school of design would eventually become the Bauhaus. When a public scandal forced his resignation in 1906, Kessler turned to other projects, including collaborating with the Austrian writer Hugo von Hofmannsthal and the German composer Richard Strauss on the opera Der Rosenkavalier and the ballet The Legend of Joseph, which was performed in 1914 by the Ballets Russes in London and Paris. In 1913 he founded the Cranach-Presse in Weimar, one of the most important private presses of the twentieth century. The diaries present brilliant, sharply etched, and often richly comical descriptions of his encounters, conversations, and creative collaborations with some of the most celebrated people of his time: Otto von Bismarck, Paul von Hindenburg, Hugo von Hofmannsthal, Richard Strauss, Igor Stravinsky, Sergei Diaghilev, Vaslav Nijinsky, Isadora Duncan, Ruth St. Denis, Sarah Bernhardt, Friedrich Nietzsche, Rainer Marie Rilke, Paul Verlaine, Gordon Craig, George Bernard Shaw, Harley Granville-Barker, Max Klinger, Arnold Böcklin, Max Beckmann, Aristide Maillol, Auguste Rodin, Edgar Degas, Éduard Vuillard, Claude Monet, Edvard Munch, Ida Rubinstein, Gabriele D’Annunzio, Pierre Bonnard, and Walther Rathenau, among others. Remarkably insightful, poignant, and cinematic in their scope, Kessler’s diaries are an invaluable record of one of the most volatile and seminal moments in modern Western history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In between the covers of An Uncharted Journey Into the Abyss, are eighteen short stories that don’t always end up with fairy tale endings. In fact, quite a few of them rip at our emotions and pause us to think about life, and how it doesn’t always end up the way we planned. From an Indian tribe on the brink of slaughter, to a hard nosed veteran policeman tracking a serial killer, we find ourselves drawn deep within the psyche of the main characters. Can a poor young Mexican boy save his family and farm from a vicious predator eating their livestock? Will a cocky self-assured man from back East have his ego shattered by a native American cashier in the West? Or will you be soaring above the crashing seas as a ptarmigan looking for an escape? An Uncharted Journey Into the Abyss will walk you along high mountain trails with a curmudgeonly old prospector, haunt a family as a Civil War ghost, and even visit a planet on a search and reconnaissance mission. And within each story, embedded deep within each of them, is a kernel of truth. Whether you, as the reader, decide to decipher its meaning is completely up to you.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is the author’s sincere hope and desire that the reader will come to understand and realize the importance and significance of the book’s title and that those who read this book will find a clearer and perhaps deeper understanding of faith in God. The author takes us through his father, Wilhelm Senior’s eyes to the eastern front of World War II. He relates how Wilhelm Senior’s faith in God helps him cope with the unbelievable circumstances of a medic in field hospitals in WWII. Author Wilhelm uses the narrative approach to make us a part of the many scenes of his story and that of his father. The importance of spiritual values and how they play into one’s behavior in stressful situations is a deeply thought provoking element of this book. The accounts are woven together with a back-drop of un-relenting faith in God, who intervened many times. There is something here for the historian and for students and observers of the human condition as well.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Among professionals in the medical field, psychiatrists have proven to be the least religious. But is it possible for mental health care and spirituality to coexist? According to Alan J. Lifchitz, MD, the two have more in common than it may seem. After becoming more religious later in life, the long-time psychiatrist began to take a look back at his extensive career, this time viewing his patients through the spiritual insight he had adopted-through the prism of the soul, rather than through their tangible physicality. Inspired by his Hasidic Jewish philosophy, Lifchitz set out to combine his deep spiritual beliefs with his experience as a clinician in his inspirational nonfiction autobiography The Abyss of the Mind. This candid memoir follows the author through medical school in South Africa, focuses on some of the most interesting case studies of his career, and reveals his journey to seeing things from a newly religious perspective. From professionals trying to meld religion and career to individuals suffering from mental illness, this book has something for anyone who is looking to take a more spiritual approach to life and reap the healing benefits of nurturing the soul as well as the body and mind.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A richly contextualized portrait of a key Weimar figure, who deserves to be better known. Easton is a lively writer."—Martin Jay, University of California, Berkeley "Provocative and original. The Red Count should be welcomed by a growing number of cultural historians interested in reassessing the politics of European modernism and in current debates about the trajectory of German political culture and cultural politics in the decades before the rise of fascism."—Kevin Repp, Yale University "A major addition to understanding the cultural contributions Germany made to the modernist impulse, especially in the years before 1914. Kessler’s numerous activities, as delineated by the author, attest to the cosmopolitanism of many within Germany’s urban, liberal elite. The Red Count is extremely well-written. Easton’s prose is fluid, colorful, and eminently readable. " —Marion Deshmukh, George Mason University

Book excerpt: ‘Highly eloquent, fascinating and deeply compassionate’ Henry Marsh, author of Do No Harm We cannot know how to fix a problem until we understand its causes. But even for some of the most common mental health problems, specialists argue over whether the answers lie in the person’s biology, their psychology or their circumstances. As a cognitive neuropsychiatrist, Anthony David brings together many fields of enquiry, from social and cognitive psychology to neurology. The key for each patient might be anything from a traumatic memory to a chemical imbalance, an unhealthy way of thinking or a hidden tumour. Patrick believes he is dead. Jennifer's schizophrenia medication helped with her voices but did it cause Parkinson’s? Emma is in a coma – or is she just refusing to respond? Drawing from Professor David’s career as a clinician and academic, these fascinating case studies reveal the unique complexity of the human mind, stretching the limits of our understanding.
