For centuries, the search for gold has driven humanity across all boundaries and cultures. When gold was first discovered in the United States in North Carolina in 1801, many methods of extraction were developed prior to the California Gold Rush of 1848. The Empire Mine opened in the 1850s in Grass Valley, California, and its preservation is a small but significant example of the development of mining techniques and equipment, hard rock and deep-shaft mining, stamp mills, and the furtherance of geological knowledge in the West. The early years of the Empire’s existence saw a number of ownership changes, yet produced 28,100 tons of gold-quartz ore in its first 9 years of operation. The Saga of the Empire Mine is a detailed historical pilgrimage back to the early days of mining and looks at the science of mining, for example, the chlorination of sulfides and the use of cyanide plants, and to its decisive turning point—new owners with sufficient financial backing to introduce the best mining equipment and the best available engineers to manage operations. The Empire vein of gold was remarkably persistent and has been followed down into the earth 7000 feet using vertical shafts, and along the strike for over 5000 feet. The yearly financial reports were carefully preserved and attest to the mine’s growing wealth over the century in which it operated. Endorsements “This book is a must for any researcher or explorer’s library and gives valuable insights into the real ‘work’ of mining the earth’s most precious mineral—gold.”

This book will change your way of looking at the universe, forever. A beautiful, simply-written, heart-felt account of spiritual growth and insight from Navajo Medicine Man, Dennison Tsosie. When his wife, Teddi, found a "Record Keeper" crystal in a $3 bargain box and placed it under her pillow, she was astonished when Dennison began receiving overwhelming amounts of confusing information. As this information kept coming, Teddi recorded in her journal, and now shares with us, Dennison's amazing mystical experiences, native wisdom, and prophetic visions. At first photocopied and given out to friends and family, this book has a life of its own, which has taken Dennison and Teddi to meet and pray with spiritual leaders in Ecuador, Canada, and Japan. The information in Spirit Vision includes: Detailed prophetic visions and highly philosophical information, referring to such prominent thinkers as Joseph Campbell, Jose Arguelles, and Goethe. Many confirmations, such as the Gulf War, major California earthquakes, and the race riots in Los Angeles. Other information previously unfamiliar to Dennison, such as: The Mayan culture and references to Machu Picchu Inner mysteries of the Holy Grail The Knights Templar and Ancient Egyptian teachings Starships, star nations, and "relatives" that visited this Earth. Many of the transmissions include beautiful Earth teachings of how to live in harmony with nature and in peace and love with all beings. Endorsements "Dennison Tsosie's book, Spirit Visions, has allowed me to be able to pull together in a cohesive manner all of the other works of prophecy that I had already read. It let me understand the things that were going on in my life and make sense about why they were happening or had happened. When later I was privileged to meet Dennison, I felt that being in his presence was the personification of the Greek work agape, unconditional love for all mankind. He is giving these teachings not to frighten us, but to let us understand love and how to survive in the times ahead." C. Lindsey, KY "This is a book of wonder. It was never planned, but has come to be through its own force, a force that has touched me at a very deep level." M. Fjelldal, Norway "Spirit Visions is such a wonderful book, you don't want to put it aside until you have read it all, which is hard to do at one sitting. The information given to Dennison by the Grandfathers is mind-provoking. I personally feel it should be 'required' reading for going into the new century." B. DeVillez, KY

People of the Circle, People of the Four Directions explores the common spiritual symbols of the Native People of North and South America.Drawing on poems, stories, ceremonies, and ethnological writings, Scott McCarthy gives examples of the use of circles, the four directions, and the number four, both individually and in combination, as common themes that run through all the Native cultures of the Americas.The ceremonies and lifeways presented here will encourage a sharing and understanding between cultures, as cultures meet, sometimes colliding, sometimes entwining.“Without a sense of the Creator’s presence,it would be difficult for many human beingsto comprehend life.”Picture the following scenarios: A Spanish soldier or Franciscan friar sometime shortly after the invasion of Mexico and an Aztec merchant: As they "size up" each other, what are the religious symbols that each wears to express a particular spirituality? A mid-nineteenth-century settler living in Wyoming greets some Cheyenne visitors at his homestead: What might be the content of their individual prayers later that night? Prayers for understanding, protection? Modern-day tourists passing through the Black Hills area, visit Bear Butte State Park (a huge mountain rising above the plains that was, and is, an ancient place of worship for several tribes) and are surprised to see and hear Sioux and Cheyenne vision questers praying and singing as they are sequestered among the bushes, trees, and rocky mountain ledges: Some are praying, others are simply enjoying the outdoors. Do they share any aspects of spirituality?

The first part of the book deals with the author's spiritual life and her experiences with the Holy Spirit, angels, telepathy, prayer, and healing. Her life-long empathy with animals, beginning with household pets, and even the horse who pulled the milk truck, has grown into a deep concern for all animals and a soul connection with her cat companion, Rochester. Along the way, she discusses many books that influenced her deeply and support her conviction that all life is connected and responds to love. The second part is a journal recording the thoughts of Rochester, previously featured in Compassion for all Creatures. His simple, loving observations reveal the heart of an angel. The strongest message is: "If a creature of God could speak to you in words that you could understand as if it were a human speaking, could you then ever eat a creature again?" "Once again the delightful and insightful Jan Kolb has provided all of us who truly love animals with another warm and wonderful book about how we may enter into deeper communication with our beloved pets. Journal of Love is destined to become a classic in the field of transpecies communication." Brad Steiger and Sherry Hansen Steiger, authors of Animal Miracles

The Biblical accounts of Jesus' life and the growth of Christianity in the following years leave so much to the imagination. Frank Tribbe allows his imagination and serious scholarly research to fill in many of the gaps: the events in the tomb on the first Easter morning, those who met Jesus on the road to Emmaus, the thoughts of "doubting" Thomas--all are recorded in plausible and fine detail. Drawing on apocryphal New Testament texts, Tribbe recreates the extensive role attributed to Joseph of Arimathea in the period after the crucifixion. The Gospel accounts of Easter weekend themselves point to his activity while the other disciples retreated in fear. Joseph made the arrangements for the burial of Jesus' body, for which he provided burial linens and tomb. The book also describes the probable survival and earliest history of a mysterious artifact: the Shroud of Turin, believed by many to be the shroud which wrapped Jesus' dead body and which was marked with his "photographic" image. Tribbe also fills in the "lost years" of Jesus before he entered upon his public ministry and presents the thesis that Joseph of Arimathea was the "Apostle of Britain," introducing Christianity to the west before it reached Rome. The details of daily life in the first century, descriptions of travel, accurate or plausible reconstructions of the Judaeo-Roman "postal system," coinage, business practices, languages, literacy and education, and ancient metallurgy, all bring this amazing story to life. "By means of truly impressive scholarly research, Frank Tribbe transports the reader vividly into the ambience of Tiberius, Claudius, Nero, Peter and Paul, and of Jesus himself." Daniel C. Scavone

A must read for all who want to achieve a full life in spite of having this chronic condition!" Molly Hanna Glidden, former leader of the Boston MetroWest Interstitial Cystitis Support Group "I was diagnosed with Interstitial Cystitis and other painful conditions several decades ago. I thought I knew this illness landscape, but The Proactive Patient by Gaye and Andrew Sandler taught me how much more there was to learn. I learned something new on every single page of this informative and essential book. You will find everything here--information about diet, traditional and alternative therapies, self-help, managing sex and menopause and more--all in language that is straightforward and comprehensible to the non-professional.

Joy Nielsen, M.D. "The Proactive Patient is even more resourceful and informative than the authors' first edition, Patient to Patient. This new revised edition should be read by every patient who has already been diagnosed, or believes they have IC/BPS and/or one of the related conditions. It should be mandatory reading for all healthcare providers - including doctors! - and students learning about the various symptoms and treatments, and especially how you as the patient can more correctly describe your concerns to healthcare providers. Most importantly, the health information here will enable you to live a much more active and fuller life. The best proactive patient is the informed patient."

Follow Jeff Prather’s personal odyssey to spiritual manhood under a legendary Apache singer in the mountains and deserts of Arizona. Prather is tempered physically and astounded spiritually, experiencing a hidden world of incandescent power. To the outside white world the Apache were the tigers of the Southwest. Yet Prather learns that paradoxically the most sacred ceremony of these stoic warriors is the coming of age of each little girl. The ferocious physical prowess of these ultimate warriors emerges from their innate spirituality—and sense of humor. Training with the descendants of Cochise and Geronimo, Prather discovers that, though boys and girls are born, men and women must be trained in the rigors of adulthood. He learns that we are defined by our duties to others. Further, we are all connected by an invisible realm of luminous energy, and if we access these etheric meridians, we can direct divine power through us to protect, heal and connect to all our relations—to literally change our lives and save the world, one life at a time. “As essential as water—a handbook for the human race.” —Dr. Joseph K. Eleid, M.D. “This book is a great read! It is entertaining and full of ancient teachings that offer practical life advice for today. For more than 18 years I have experienced personally, and witnessed in others, the changes in life that result when people practice the techniques described in this book.” —Darin Ashley, Major, USMC (Ret)
