A Turing Award-winning computer scientist and statistician shows how understanding causality has revolutionized science and will revolutionize artificial intelligence

"Correlation is not causation." This mantra, chanted by scientists for more than a century, has led to a virtual prohibition on causal talk. Today, that taboo is dead. The causal revolution, instigated by Judea Pearl and his colleagues, has cut through a century of confusion and established causality -- the study of cause and effect -- on a firm scientific basis. His work explains how we can know easy things, like whether it was rain or a sprinkler that made a sidewalk wet; and how to answer hard questions, like whether a drug cured an illness. Pearl's work enables us to know not just whether one thing causes another: it lets us explore the world that is and the worlds that could have been. It shows us the essence of human thought and the key to artificial intelligence. Anyone who wants to understand either needs The Book of Why.

The Deep Rig: How Election Fraud Cost Donald J. Trump the White House, By a Man Who did not Vote for Him: (or what to send friends who ask, "Why do you doubt the integrity of Election 2020?")     Paperback

Byrne is a libertarian who did not vote for Trump and has criticized him publicly: that said, he believes Election 2020 was rigged, and this fact should be objectionable to every person who believes that "just government derives its power from the consent of the governed." In this book he explains what caused him in August 2020 to study election fraud, and what really happened during the 2020 election. He describes how his team of "cyber-ninjas" unraveled it while they worked against the clock of Constitutional processes, all against the background of being a lifetime entrepreneur trying to interact with Washington, DC. This book takes you behind the headlines to backroom scenes that determined whether or not the fraud would be exposed in time, and paints a portrait of Washington that will leave the reader asking, "Is this the end of our constitutional republic?"

TWENTY WEEKS on the NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER LIST, and a WALL STREET JOURNAL, USA TODAY and PUBLISHERS WEEKLY NATIONAL BESTSELLER

Over 1,000,000 copies sold despite censorship, boycotts from bookstores and libraries, and hit pieces against the author.

Pharma-funded mainstream media has convinced millions of Americans that Dr. Anthony Fauci is a hero. Hands down, he is anything but.

As director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), Dr. Anthony Fauci dispenses $6.1 billion in annual taxpayer-provided funding for rigged scientific research, allowing him to dictate the subject, content, and outcome of scientific health research across the globe—truly a dark agenda. Fauci uses the financial clout at his disposal in a back handed manner to wield extraordinary influence over hospitals, universities, journals, and thousands of influential doctors and scientists—whose careers and institutions he has the power to ruin, advance, or reward in an authoritarian manner.

During more than a year of painstaking and meticulous research on his laptop and through interviews, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. unearthed a shocking story that obliterates media spin on Dr. Fauci . . . and that will alarm every American—Democrat or Republican—who cares about democracy, our Constitution, and the future of our children’s health.

The Real Anthony Fauci reveals how “America’s Doctor” launched his career during the early AIDS crisis by partnering with pharmaceutical companies to sabotage safe and effective off-patent therapeutic treatments for AIDS. Fauci orchestrated fraudulent do-nothing studies, and then pressured US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulators into approving a deadly chemotherapy treatment he had good reason to know was worthless against AIDS. Fauci did the unthinkable and repeatedly violated federal laws to allow his Pharma partners to use impoverished and dark-skinned children as lab rats in beyond order, deadly experiments with toxic AIDS and cancer chemotherapies.

In early 2000, Fauci shook hands with Bill Gates in the library of Gates’ $147 million Seattle mansion, cementing a partnership that would aim to control an increasingly profitable $60 billion global vaccine enterprise with unlimited growth potential. Through funding leverage and carefully cultivated personal relationships with heads of state and leading media and social media institutions, the Pharma-Fauci-Gates alliance exercises dominion over global health policy and our beautiful country.

This is not just another political book. The Real Anthony Fauci details how Fauci, Gates, and their cohorts use their control of media outlets—both conservative and liberal leaning, scientific journals, key government and quasi-governmental agencies, global intelligence agencies, and influential scientists and physicians to flood the public with fearful propaganda about COVID-19 virulence and pathogenesis, and to muzzle debate and ruthlessly censor dissent.

Imagine a world of mystery and excitement, adventure and fantasy, waiting for you to explore. A world that reacts to your every move, with characters that talk to you, send you messages, and even give you items to help you in your quest. A world so immersive that you can no longer tell where reality ends and fiction begins. Welcome to the world of Alternate Reality Gaming. This Is Not A Game: A Guide to Alternate Reality Gaming by Dave Szulborski is the perfect introduction to this exciting new world.

How powerful, seductive, or mythical would you like your life to be?

The ultimate goal of invocation is to infuse your life with more excitement, purpose, and passion. Recent discoveries in neuroscience suggest that the magical practices of evocation and invocation are based in natural brain functions--this book is the first to present a theory of magick based on the new research. Brain Magick is packed full of exercises (more than 70) that illustrate the principles of neuroscience and magick, and has everything you need to quickly develop skill in the art of invocation.

This easily practiced form of ritual technology is appropriate for complete novices and magical adepts alike. If you are familiar with any kind of magick--Wiccan, Thelemic, Golden Dawn, Goetic, Chaos, or Hermetic--this book will provide opportunities to consider your practice in a new light, and take your magical experiences to a new level. Even if you've never practiced any magick before, you'll be able to start immediately.  

A world-renowned expert in lucid dreaming and Tibetan dream yoga guides us into the tradition’s daytime practices, a complement to the nighttime practices taught in his previous book Dream Yoga.

Most of us are absolutely certain that we’re awake here and now―it’s a given, right? Yet, according to Tibet’s dream yoga tradition, ordinary waking life is no more real than the illusions of our nightly dreams.

In his previous book Dream Yoga, Andrew Holecek guided us into Tibetan Buddhism’s nocturnal path of lucid dreaming and other dimensions of sleeping consciousness. Now, with Dreams of Light, he offers us an in-depth, step-by-step guide to its daytime practices.

Known as the “illusory form” practices, these teachings include insights, meditations, and actions to help us realize the dreamlike nature of our lives. Through an immersive exploration of the tradition, beginners and seasoned practitioners alike will learn everything they need to deeply transform both their sleeping and waking hours.

“If you’ve struggled to awaken in your dreams,” teaches Holecek, “these techniques will often spark spontaneous lucidity during sleep. And if you’re already a successful lucid dreamer, they will open you to new depths of experience throughout your day.”

For those wishing to explore Tibetan Buddhism’s profound path for awakening to the true nature of reality―day or night―Dreams of Light shows us the way.

The first complete translation of a classic Buddhist text on the journey through living and dying

Graced with opening words by His Holiness The Dalai Lama, the Penguin Deluxe Edition of The Tibetan Book of the Dead is "immaculately rendered in an English both graceful and precise."

It includes one of the most detailed and compelling descriptions of the after-death state in world literature, practices that can transform our experience of daily life, guidance on helping those who are dying, and an inspirational perspective on coping with bereavement.

The planet Earth is part of the Physical Universe and the Physical Universe is part of a System of Universes (commonly called planes), some of which exist under the compartmentalizing quality called time. There are two organizational codes for the System of Universes: 666 and 704. The code 666 is the structural code for the so-called "Lower Worlds," which include Earth. These worlds are under the administration of Satan, whose proper name is Kal Niranjan. The code 704 is the organizational code for the entire Universe system (the Lower and Higher Worlds combined) and basically means "seven over four," as there are seven Spiritual planes and four planes of Lower Creation. The administrator of the entire Universe system lives in that area of space beyond logic, nomenclature, and mental activities. Intensely loving and benevolent, it has no name. The code 704, with letters for the numbers 7 and 4, spells "GOD." This is not a name but the structural code for the complete Universe system, which collectively is created and maintained by "GOD." Now, we will get into this in a bit more detail...

More than an insightful psychologist, Carl Gustav Jung was the twentieth century's greatest articulator of the primacy of mind in nature, a view whose origins vanish behind the mists of time. Underlying Jung's extraordinary body of work, and providing a foundation for it, there is a broad and sophisticated system of metaphysical thought. This system, however, is only implied in Jung's writings, so as to shield his scientific persona from accusations of philosophical speculation. The present book scrutinizes Jung’s work to distil and reveal that extraordinary, hidden metaphysical treasure: for Jung, mind and world are one and the same entity; reality is fundamentally experiential, not material; the psyche builds and maintains its body, not the other way around; and the ultimate meaning of our sacrificial lives is to serve God by providing a reflecting mirror to God’s own instinctive mentation. Embodied in this compact volume is a journey of discovery through Jungian thoughtscapes never before revealed with the depth, force and scholarly rigor you are about to encounter.

First proposed more than 200 years ago, Schopenhauer's extraordinarily prescient metaphysics if understood along the lines thoroughly elucidated and substantiated in this volume offers powerful answers not only to the paradoxes of quantum mechanics, but also to modern philosophical dilemmas such as the hard problem of consciousness which plagues mainstream physicalism, and the subject combination problem which plagues constitutive panpsychism. This invaluable treasure of the Western philosophical canon has eluded us so far because Schopenhauer’s argument has been consistently misunderstood and misrepresented, even at the hands of presumed experts. Hoping to change this situation, Decoding Schopenhauer’s Metaphysics, offers a conceptual framework, a decoding key for unlocking the sense of Schopenhauer’s metaphysical contentions in a way that renders them mutually consistent. With this key in mind, even those who earlier dismissed Schopenhauer’s metaphysics should be able to return to it with fresh eyes and at last grasp its meaning. And for those as yet unacquainted with Schopenhauerian thought, this volume offers a succinct and accessible entry path.

"Once one is fairly competent at practical sorcery, there is little of importance that remains to be said or read about the subject; the magician at this point tends to emphasize inner development in his work. It seems to me that Chaos Magic itself has reached this point; the basic ideas needed for anyone to construct his or her own system of sorcery and to hone their skills are already covered by the available books. What has been lacking so far, is a Chaos magical approach to the investigation of the ecstatic states that underlie magical gnosis. This book, rather than trying to provide yet another slightly different flavour of Chaos technique, takes as its starting point the relationship between ecstasy and magic; between Chaos Magic and Chaos Mysticism, if you like."—from Chaotopia!

Chaotopia! is neither Utopia nor its opposite. It is what Austin Osman Spare called ‘the chaos of the normal’, seen through an illuminated eye, the eye of the sorcerer. Chaotopia! includes updates and evaluations of techniques in Chaos Magick and an exploration of ecstatic states in relation to both magick and mysticism. Also chapters on: Wealth Magick/Conflict and Exorcism/Sex Magick/Body Alchemy and Healing/Magick and Physics/Chaos Illumination/Spirits/Aeonics 

Praise for Dave Lee’s Chaotopia! 

"A highly intelligent book by a leading Chaos Magician which will broaden and deepen Chaoist debate, theory and practice."–Peter J. Carroll

Almost every person on Earth is born and dies as a slave. People are born into this world and soon after become indoctrinated into a system designed to take as much energy as possible from them, until the day comes when they finally lose all their energy and die; an awareness bubble is created by the churning sea, moves a little within this sea, and is destroyed by that same pressure that will create another awareness bubble somewhere else.

Throughout this small journey from one point in the Dark Sea to another, almost every single thought that this self-aware energetic bubble will have, won’t be its own. It will be an implant, an imposed thought created by a foreign power that gives with one hand and takes double with the other.

This life is our challenge, the place where the self-aware human bubble can perfect its energetic control. If it can perfect its ability to manipulate energy well enough, it has a chance to wrestle its individuality away from the Alien Trap and take this individuality on journeys beyond all current conceivable possibility.

Many write about humanity’s strange history and the dark powers that have a controlling interest in its fate.

BUT few writers and investigators ever show you how to really escape this trap. They tell you what is going on, but they really don’t have a good answer when they are finally asked how to beat this evil force.

This book changes that!

It clearly shows you how a human being can escape this ‘prison without walls’, so that they may beat the Great Archonic forces at their own game!

In this book, I show you a very ancient system of energetic manipulation referred to as Alchemy. And unlike most of the literature that you can find on Alchemy, there are no hidden codes in this book that will only allow the initiated to learn the real truth. This book is not made up of half-truths, metaphors, or riddles. It plainly explains how to use Alchemical energetic techniques.

In that sense, it could be said that this book is about uncovering the truth, and using the knowledge gained to beat a system that is designed to take more from you than you could ever get back from it.

This book tells the truth without compromise!

The techniques and the information provided should allow you to do what many talk about wanting to do, or claim to do, but that don’t seem to have a coherent and structured outline for; which makes doing what they advocate very difficult.

It is my hope that this book will provide a logical framework and a step by step procedural system for ALCHEMY.

But why Alchemy?

What is so special about this supposedly flawed attempt at chemistry?

Alchemy is the most misunderstood body of knowledge there is, and the reason for this, as I will make apparent in this book, is directly related to the reasoning mind that now rules human perception. Alchemy is the beginning and the end (the Alpha and Omega) of all occult knowledge, and it represents in my opinion, the best (and perhaps only) way to both attain power and escape the predatory forces that now stand above humanity.”

This complete Alchemical text reveals:

•The truth about the Great Archon and the reason for all the strife and pain in this world

•The truth about the energetic essence of humanity: How this energy is absorbed and created, and how this energy moves within and without the human energetic structure

•What/where the human ‘Stargate’ is and how it works

it will also provide ways to:

•Use the power of the mind to change your personal objective reality

•Use ‘Will Force’ to redirect the people around you so that they either help you, or don’t interfere with the life you want to live

•Gain more power, and wisdom, so that you may use that power wisely

•Become wealthy both materially and spiritually

•Stop the flux of life and attain what some Eastern schools refer to as Samadhi and eventual Nirvana if you so desire

•Move beyond this world into other dimensional states

This superb text by David Bohm, formerly Princeton University and Emeritus Professor of Theoretical Physics at Birkbeck College, University of London, provides a formulation of the quantum theory in terms of qualitative and imaginative concepts that have evolved outside and beyond classical theory. Although it presents the main ideas of quantum theory essentially in nonmathematical terms, it follows these with a broad range of specific applications that are worked out in considerable mathematical detail.

Addressed primarily to advanced undergraduate students, the text begins with a study of the physical formulation of the quantum theory, from its origin and early development through an analysis of wave vs. particle properties of matter. In Part II, Professor Bohm addresses the mathematical formulation of the quantum theory, examining wave functions, operators, Schrödinger's equation, fluctuations, correlations, and eigenfunctions.

Part III takes up applications to simple systems and further extensions of quantum theory formulation, including matrix formulation and spin and angular momentum. Parts IV and V explore the methods of approximate solution of Schrödinger's equation and the theory of scattering. In Part VI, the process of measurement is examined along with the relationship between quantum and classical concepts.

Throughout the text, Professor Bohm places strong emphasis on showing how the quantum theory can be developed in a natural way, starting from the previously existing classical theory and going step by step through the experimental facts and theoretical lines of reasoning which led to replacement of the classical theory by the quantum theory.

 “Yogi Ramacharaka’s ‘Fourteen Lessons’ is remarkable. It puts into simple language many of the core concepts of yoga philosophy, and gives the reader tools to start practicing them.”—David Rogers, Yogi, International Yoga Instructor

“‘Fourteen Lessons’ is that rare book, full of wisdom and insights, not just for understanding yogi philosophy but for living a fuller life.”—Michael Gansrow, Co-Founder Massage on the Go, Wellness Expert, Author

Bamboo Leaf Press proudly presents a new edition of the classic Fourteen Lessons in Yogi Philosophy by Yogi Ramacharaka, with a Foreword by the renowned yoga teacher and writer, Richard Rosen. This unique edition includes Endnotes which offer a historical context about the mindset and language used at the turn of the 20th century and brief biographies of historical figures mentioned throughout the book, many of whom have been forgotten over time. Moreover, this high quality printed book with stitch-binding allows you to open the book flat on a desk without the pages falling out while reading.

 Written almost 120 years ago, Fourteen Lessons in Yogi Philosophy is one of the first, if not the first, book about yogi philosophy written for a Western audience. It presents the fundamental teachings in a simple, charming, and straightforward style. Although the book is an introduction to this perennial philosophy, it covers a wide range of subjects such as:

• The physical, mental, and spiritual constitution of Man
• The different Planes of Reality
• The Astral world
• Thought dynamics
• The human aura
• Occult therapeutics
• Spiritual evolution

Nine mantras for meditation are also included to help readers along their spiritual path.

"You are the most precious thing - a living soul - and if you were destroyed the whole system of universes would crumble, for you are as necessary as the greatest part of it - it cannot do without you - you cannot be lost or destroyed - you are part of it all, and are eternal."

“In ‘Advanced Course’ Yogi Ramacharaka provides the most straightforward explanation of the paths of Karma, Gnani, and Bhakti Yoga that I have encountered. And he provides a beautiful framework for understanding the concept of Dharma. This is the kind of book that one can turn to again and again as a source for both introspection and action in the world. The physical book of this new edition is very well designed and a pleasure to hold.”—David Rogers, Yogi, International Yoga Instructor

“As with its companion title ‘Fourteen Lessons’, ‘Advanced Course in Yogi Philosophy’ is full of wisdom and insights for living an intentional life. Remarkably, these lessons are still relevant in the 21st century, even though they were written 120 years ago.”—Michael Gansrow, Co-Founder Massage on the Go, Wellness Expert, Author

Bamboo Leaf Press proudly presents a new edition of the classic Advanced Course in Yogi Philosophy by Yogi Ramacharaka, with a Foreword by the renowned yoga teacher and writer, Richard Rosen. This unique edition includes Endnotes which offer a historical context about the mindset and language used at the turn of the 20th century and brief biographies of historical figures mentioned throughout the book, many of whom have been forgotten over time.

Advanced Course in Yogi Philosophy is a continuation of the classic, Fourteen Lessons in Yogi Philosophy. It should be read after one has read the Fourteen Lessons since many concepts are introduced in the first book. Both books were written 120 years ago yet they remain the best introduction to yogi philosophy for a Western audience.

The Advanced Course delves deeper into Indian philosophy and explores some of humanity's perennial questions. The lessons of the course are written in a simple, charming, and straightforward style. Some of the subjects explored in the book:

• The three main paths of yoga: Karma, Gnani, and Bhakti
• Spiritual consciousness
• Yogi Ethics (Dharma)
• The relationship between Matter, Energy, Mind, and Spirit
• The Absolute and Man
• The Riddle of the Universe

This high quality printed book with stitch-binding allows you to open the book flat on a desk without the pages falling out while reading.

"The Universe is not a dead thing - it is alive, pulsating with life, energy and intelligence. It is a living thing, and YOU are part of it all. You are not The Absolute, but you are an atom comprising one of its rays - its life force is playing through you. You are in touch with the Centre, and the Centre is conscious of YOU and of its relation to you."

The reasons I wrote this book are three fold. First, to write about my experiences, second to raise awareness, and third, to help anyone that has been abducted by ETs or the military. I wanted to be able to share the information from my spirit guides on how to fight back against being abducted to as many people as possible, as quickly as possible. As more and more people awaken to the truth, they will need resources. We need more people to speak out, but we also need tools to fight back. Once I found tools, used them and they worked, I knew that I could not keep them to myself. I had to find my people and share the tools. Sounds easy, but it is difficult in a world where no one talks about being abducted by ETs.

The Rebellious Slave is a collection of independent entries taken from my notebook—those I made while on the journey to discover the self and the worlds around me. Together, they present a different way of viewing the world, popular ideas, and an individual’s place amid them. My hope is that the alternative perspective I present will motivate others to reevaluate why they want what they want, why they know what they know, and why they believe what they believe. I wish to inspire because the manner in which a person’s mind is trained, and the substance readily available to the mind, cages an individual to an untrue reality.

Spiritual Experiments: The Portal of Truth is the story of the author's burning quest for Enlightenment which has taken him to the frightening depths and astounding heights of spiritual experience. Written in dramatic style, with many sections of entertaining dialogue and vivid descriptions of his numerous shamanic journeys, this book is as entertaining as a novel, the only difference being that every word of it is true.

“Another gem from one of the world’s justly celebrated historians specializing in unusual and always fascinating subjects and people.” — Booklist (starred review)

The revered New York Times bestselling author traces the development of technology from the Industrial Age to the Digital Age to explore the single component crucial to advancement—precision—in a superb history that is both an homage and a warning for our future.

The rise of manufacturing could not have happened without an attention to precision. At the dawn of the Industrial Revolution in eighteenth-century England, standards of measurement were established, giving way to the development of machine tools—machines that make machines. Eventually, the application of precision tools and methods resulted in the creation and mass production of items from guns and glass to mirrors, lenses, and cameras—and eventually gave way to further breakthroughs, including gene splicing, microchips, and the Hadron Collider.

Simon Winchester takes us back to the origins of the Industrial Age, to England where he introduces the scientific minds that helped usher in modern production: John Wilkinson, Henry Maudslay, Joseph Bramah, Jesse Ramsden, and Joseph Whitworth. It was Thomas Jefferson who later exported their discoveries to the fledgling United States, setting the nation on its course to become a manufacturing titan. Winchester moves forward through time, to today’s cutting-edge developments occurring around the world, from America to Western Europe to Asia.

As he introduces the minds and methods that have changed the modern world, Winchester explores fundamental questions. Why is precision important? What are the different tools we use to measure it? Who has invented and perfected it? Has the pursuit of the ultra-precise in so many facets of human life blinded us to other things of equal value, such as an appreciation for the age-old traditions of craftsmanship, art, and high culture? Are we missing something that reflects the world as it is, rather than the world as we think we would wish it to be? And can the precise and the natural co-exist in society?

This provocative perspective on America’s history claims that the country’s personality was defined not by the ideals of the elites and intellectuals, but by those who throughout have lived on the fringes of society history—slaves, immigrants, gangsters, and others who challenged the conventions of their day.

“Raucous, profane, and thrillingly original, Thaddeus Russell’s A Renegade History of the United States turns the myths of the ‘American character’ on their heads with a rare mix of wit, scholarship, and storytelling flair”—Steven Johnson, author of Everything Bad Is Good for You and The Invention of Air

An all-new, stunning, and controversial story of the United States: It was not “good” citizens who established American liberty, declares Thaddeus Russell, but “immoral” and “degraded” people on the fringes of society whose subversive lifestyles legitimized the taboo and made America the land of the free.

In vivid portraits of renegades and their “respectable” adversaries, Russell shows that the nation’s history has been driven by clashes between those interested in preserving social order and those more interested in pursuing their own desires. The more these accidental revolutionaries—drunkards, prostitutes, gangsters, unassimilated immigrants, “bad” blacks—persevered, the more American society changed for the better.

This is not the history taught in textbooks or classrooms—this renegade book will upend everything you believe about the American past.  

Inquisitor Erasmus Crowl and his acolyte Spinoza follow the trail of a shadowy conspiracy on Holy Terra itself, the capital world of the Imperium.

In the hellish sprawl of Imperial Terra, Ordo Hereticus Inquisitor Erasmus Crowl serves as a stalwart and vigilant protector, for even the Throneworld is not immune to the predations of its enemies. In the course of his Emperor-sworn duty, Crowl becomes embroiled in a dark conspiracy, one that leads all the way to the halls of the Imperial Palace. As he plunges deeper into the shadowy underbelly of the many palace districts, his investigation attracts the attention of hidden forces, and soon he and his acolyte Spinoza are being hunted – by heretics, xenos, servants of the Dark Powers, or perhaps even rival elements of the Inquisition itself. Soon they discover a terrible truth, one that if allowed to get out could undermine the very fabric of the Imperium itself.  

With Matchless, Gregory Maguire has reinvented the Hans Christian Andersen classic The Little Match Girl for a new time and new audiences. Originally asked by National Public Radio to write an original story with a Christmas theme, the New York Times bestselling author of Wicked and A Lion Among Men was once again inspired by the fairy tales we all loved in childhood—and he composed a poignant and enchanting tale of transcendence. A lovely and beautifully illustrated gift, Matchless places Andersen’s pitiful waif in the august company of Maguire’s previously re-imagined Snow White (Mirror, Mirror), Cinderella (Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister), and, of course, the Wicked Witch and other denizens of Oz. 

A Delayed Life: The True Story of the Librarian of Auschwitz  

An Autobiography by Dita Kraus

A Delayed Life is the breathtaking memoir that tells the story of Dita Kraus, the real-life Librarian of Auschwitz.

Dita Kraus grew up in Prague in an intellectual, middle-class Jewish family. She went to school, played with her friends, and never thought of herself as being different—until the advent of the Holocaust. Torn from her home, Dita was sent to Auschwitz with her family.

From her time in the children’s block of Auschwitz to her liberation from the camps and on into her adulthood, Dita’s powerful memoir sheds light on an incredible life—one that is delayed no longer.

July 21, 1861 the raw untried armies of North and South meet for the first battle of the American Civil War. Will you take the part of General Beauregard of the Confederate States of America defending Virginia or the part of Union General Irvin McDowell 

From the Manufacturer 

July 21, 1861 the raw untried armies of North and South meet for the first battle of the American Civil War. Will you take the part of General Beauregard of the Confederate States of America defending Virginia or the part of Union General Irvin McDowell seeking to stop the rebellion of the south and re-unite the nation? Simple game mechanics center on a system where command opportunities are determined by dice, action cards and the frustrations of command are eloquently portrayed. To achieve victory the Union Army of Northeastern Virginia must seize Manassas Junction or rout the Southern Army to achieve victory. The Confederate Army of the Potomac & Confederate Army of the Shenandoah win by routing the Union army, avoiding rout, by seizing the Northern town of Centreville, or simply denying the Union victory. Test of Fire is the perfect way for 2 players to swiftly and casually explore military strategy in the first land battle of the American Civil War. Contains a 4-fold Mounted Mapboard (14.2 x 20.5), 2 Decks of Command Action Cards, 2 Order Cards, 12 dice – 6 Blue and 6 Grey, 2 Die Cut counter sheets, and full-color rules.  

Since its original publication in 1936, Gone With the Wind—winner of the Pulitzer Prize and one of the bestselling novels of all time—has been heralded by readers everywhere as The Great American Novel.

Nominated as one of America’s best-loved novels by PBS’s The Great American Read.

Widely considered The Great American Novel, and often remembered for its epic film version, Gone With the Wind explores the depth of human passions with an intensity as bold as its setting in the red hills of Georgia. A superb piece of storytelling, it vividly depicts the drama of the Civil War and Reconstruction.

This is the tale of Scarlett O’Hara, the spoiled, manipulative daughter of a wealthy plantation owner, who arrives at young womanhood just in time to see the Civil War forever change her way of life. A sweeping story of tangled passion and courage, in the pages of Gone With the Wind, Margaret Mitchell brings to life the unforgettable characters that have captured readers for over seventy years.

On a rainy night in 1933, the young, rebellious and provocative heiress of a French champagne magnate, Gilda Bessé, storms into the quiet life of the timid Oxford undergraduate, Guy Malyon, taking him by surprise. And before he knows it, Guy is love-smitten, and taken in the Parisian apartment of the now famous photographer, Gilda, living under the same roof with her muse and Spanish political idealist, Mia. However, as Spain gradually succumbs to the Nationalists, Mia and Guy's commitment to the cause of the Spanish Republic will threaten to break up their bohemian and almost idyllic coexistence. In the end, as Adolf Hitler rises into power, can a war-torn Europe separate the three companions forever?
