A year-long journey by the renowned psychiatrist and his writer wife after her terminal diagnosis, as they reflect on how to love and live without regret.
Internationally acclaimed psychiatrist and author Irvin Yalom devoted his career to counseling those suffering from anxiety and grief. But never had he faced the need to counsel himself until his wife, esteemed feminist author Marilyn Yalom, was diagnosed with cancer. In A Matter of Death and Life, Marilyn and Irv share how they took on profound new struggles: Marilyn to die a good death, Irv to live on without her.
In alternating accounts of their last months together and Irv's first months alone, they offer us a rare window into facing mortality and coping with the loss of one's beloved. The Yaloms had numerous blessings—a loving family, a Palo Alto home under a magnificent valley oak, a large circle of friends, avid readers around the world, and a long, fulfilling marriage—but they faced death as we all do. With the wisdom of those who have thought deeply, and the familiar warmth of teenage sweethearts who've grown up together, they investigate universal questions of intimacy, love, and grief.
Informed by two lifetimes of experience, A Matter of Death and Life is an openhearted offering to anyone seeking support, solace, and a meaningful life.

Gossip was rife in the capital about the poetess of Qazvin. Some claimed she had been arrested for masterminding the murder of the grand Mullah, her uncle. Others echoed her words, and passed her poems from hand to hand. Everyone spoke of her beauty, and her dazzling intelligence. But most alarming to the Shah and the court was how the poetess could read. As her warnings and predictions became prophecies fulfilled, about the assassination of the Shah, the hanging of the Mayor, and the murder of the Grand Vazir, many wondered whether she was not only reading history but writing it as well. Was she herself guilty of the crimes she was foretelling?
Set in the world of the Qajar monarchs, mayors, ministers, and mullahs, this book explores the dangerous and at the same time luminous legacy left by a remarkable person. Bahiyyih Nakhjavani offers a gripping tale that is at once a compelling history of a pioneering woman, a story of nineteenth century Iran told from the street level up, and a work that is universally relevant to our times.

A charming, illustrated parable for all ages. Includes fun facts and helps for parents & teachers.
One tiny seed, planted that first Christmas night. . . who could guess how mighty it would become?
Come--hear the tale from a beloved grandfather. The tale of a redwood seed, planted by wind on the very night Jesus was born, that becomes the most steadfast of all tress on earth. Just as the tree grows and thrives--an example of faith and endurance--we too can "hold fast and be faithful, be true and take heart" as we wait for God's promises to be fulfilled.
Comments from Readers
"The Christmas Redwood: A Forest Parable is filled with delicate line drawings of a very special tree with almost magical qualities. Author and artist Janice Kirk shared her book and the story of its construction with my Children's Literature class at Simpson University last spring (2008), inspiring the students with the simplicity and beauty of the small volume just after it went to publication. Suitable for readers young and old, it will make a treasured addition to anyone's collection of Christmas books.." Alan Rose, Children's Literature Professor, Simpson University., Redding, California.
"There is no shortage of wonder in the world, only wonderment. In The Christmas Redwood, Janice Kirk helps us see the glories of God's creation with fresh eyes. A delightful and cherished gift for children of all ages " Nancy Sleeth, Managing Director, www.blessedearth.org
"Our family read The Christmas Redwood while camping with our children and grandchildren at Trinidad, California. There, under a redwood canopy, we were able to enjoy the sights, smells and sounds of the redwoods. Jan's story compares the mighty redwood to Jesus. We found ourselves moved in a unique way. I look back upon that reading as a time to remember, a time of sharing between the generations."Muriel Eades, California camper
"Janice E. Kirk's beautiful children's story, The Christmas Redwood: A Forest Parable, could well be a holiday classic-in-waiting. The reader follows the life of a Redwood tree whose beginning coincides with the birth of the Christ Child. As the child grows, all creatures in the forest listen and learn His lessons of love whispered on the wind. The forest and its inhabitants cry out, glorifying God. Two thousand years pass and still, all nature looks heavenward, especially the now majestic Redwood. Lovely pen and ink illustrations, also by the author, lend a sense of whimsy to the text and are effective with the book's four-color layout. Elegantly crafted overall, Kirk's prose and pictures are reminiscent of other tales that reveal timeless truths." Cathy Elliott, Author of ten educational children's books & A Vase of Mistaken Identity, a cozy mystery.

Vanishing Streets reveals an American writer's twenty-year love affair with London. Beguiling and idiosyncratic, obsessive and wry, it offers an illustrated travelogue of the peripheries, retracing some of London's most curious locations. As J. M. Tyree wanders deliriously in "the world's most visited city," he rediscovers and reinvents places that have changed drastically since he was a student at Cambridge in the 1990s. Tyree stumbles into the ghosts of Alfred Hitchcock, Graham Greene, and the pioneers of the British Free Cinema Movement. He offers a new way of seeing familiar landmarks through the lens of film history, and reveals strange nooks and tiny oddities in out-of-the-way places, from a lost film by John Ford supposedly shot in Wapping to the beehives hidden in Tower Hamlets Cemetery, an area haunted by a translation error in W. G. Sebald's Austerlitz.
This book blends deeply personal writing with a foreigner's observations on a world capital experiencing an unsettling moment of transition. Vanishing Streets builds into an astonishing and innovative multi-layered project combining autobiography, movie madness, and postcard-like annotations on the magical properties of a great city. Tyree argues passionately for London as a cinematic dream city of perpetual fascinations and eccentricities, bridging the past and the present as well as the real and the imaginary.

This searing memoir shares the trauma and triumphs of Lakhdar Boumediene and Mustafa Ait Idir's time inside America's most notorious prison.
Lakhdar and Mustafa were living quiet, peaceful lives in Bosnia when, in October 2001, they were arrested and accused of participating in a terrorist plot. After a three-month investigation uncovered no evidence, all charges were dropped and Bosnian courts ordered their freedom. However, under intense U.S. pressure, Bosnian officials turned them over to American soldiers. They were flown blindfolded and shackled to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, where they were held in outdoor cages for weeks as the now-infamous military prison was built around them.
Guantanamo became their home for the next seven years. They endured torture and harassment and force-feedings and beatings, all the while not knowing if they would ever see their families again. They had no opportunity to argue their innocence until 2008, when the Supreme Court issued a landmark ruling in their case, Boumediene v. Bush, confirming Guantanamo detainees' constitutional right to challenge their detention in federal court. Weeks later, the George W. Bush–appointed federal judge who heard their case, stunned by the absence of evidence against them, ordered their release. Now living in Europe and rebuilding their lives, Lakhdar and Mustafa are finally free to share a story that every American ought to know.
