In western culture, the separation of humans from nature has contributed to a schism between the conscious reason and the unconscious dreaming psyche, or internal human "nature." Our increasing lack of intimacy with the land has led to a decreased capacity to access parts of the psyche not normally valued in a capitalist culture. In Out of the Shadow: Ecopsychology, Story, and Encounters with the Land, Rinda West uses Jung's idea of the shadow to explore how this divorce results in alienation, projection, and often breakdown. Bringing together ideas from analytical psychology, environmental thought, and literary studies, West explores a variety of literary texts--including several by contemporary American Indian writers--to show, through a sort of geography of the psyche, how alienation from nature reflects a parallel separation from the "nature" that constitutes the unconscious. Through her analysis of narratives that offer images of people confronting shadow, reconnecting with nature, and growing psychologically and ethically, West reveals that when characters enter into relationship with the natural world, they are better able to confront and reclaim shadow. By writing "from the shadows," West argues that contemporary writers are exploring ways of being human that have the potential for creating more just and honorable relationships with nature, and more sustainable communities. For ecocritics, conservation activists, scholars and students of environmental studies and American Indian studies, and ecopsychologists, Out of the Shadow offers hope for humans wishing to reconcile with themselves, with nature, and with community.

NATIONAL BESTSELLER An unforgettable story of an ordinary woman in astonishing circumstances who defies the odds. Timea Nagy was twenty years old when she answered a newspaper ad in Budapest, Hungary, calling for young women to work as babysitters and housekeepers in Canada. Hired by what seemed like a legitimate recruitment agency, Timea left her home believing she would earn good money to send back to her family. What she didn't know was that she'd been lured by a ring of international human traffickers--and her life would never again be the same. Upon her arrival in Toronto, she was forced into sex labour in some of the city's seediest nightclubs, starved and controlled by her agents, and brainwashed to believe she was to blame for her situation. The only way she'd be free was when her debt was paid--but, no matter how hard she worked, that debt seemed only to go up, not down. Out of the Shadows is a gripping, heartbreaking and eye-opening journey deep into the underworld of human trafficking and the sex trade, told in riveting detail by one brave survivor. At once tragic and powerfully redemptive, Timea Nagy's story will stay with you long after you've read the last page.

Darol Rodrock founded one of the most successful residential development companies in the Midwest-enjoying all the wealth and accolades that accompany such a distinguished position-but for years he harbored a dark secret. He tried to hide a childhood marked in ugliness, abuse, abandonment, and poverty. Shuffled in and out of orphanages and foster homes, the shadow of his past was something Darol spent his life overcoming.

Most importantly, here are the personal beliefs and daily practices that helped make such a dynamic transition possible. In your hands you also hold a catalyst for change-as all proceeds help fund the focus of Darol's later years: The Darol Rodrock Foundation.

It's proof that the ugliest of beginnings can be transformed into something truly beautiful.

The poignant and horrifying life story of Anne Marie West, Fred West's eldest daughter, brought up by Fred and Rose West until the age of 15, when she ran away from home. Anne's mother and two sisters were murdered, but her story unfolds as one of hope and survival.
The early morning opening procedures at a New England ski area become very unusual when a ski patroller finds a dead body of an obviously murdered man lying frozen on the trail. As the state police begins their investigation, they find that the dead man was a United Nations security investigator following the trail of a missing representative. As the report of the murder finds its way through the various local state and federal channels, it coincidently turns out that the lead ski patroller at the scene was a US Navy Reserve SEAL. When he was on active duty, he had been attached to a navy security team, and the investigation experience he had is going to be needed again. After being reactivated into the regular navy, he joins forces with a local state trooper and his previous SEAL team members in Washington DC to follow and find where the murdered man’s investigation had been compromised. The trail turned quickly from a local murder case into an international chase to rescue and save a kidnapped woman. The action goes from South America to Europe and finally back to Vermont. The twists and turns that involve murder, kidnapping, international energy sources, illegal finances, international transfer of money, and political entrapments make this a case of intrigue and corruption at the highest levels of education and government.
