Questo è un libro molto speciale e probabilmente diverso da qualsiasi altro tu abbia mai letto, non posso definirlo come un libro di auto-aiuto o di auto-sviluppo. E neanche come un romanzo, un thriller, una commedia, una storia, una tragedia o una qualsiasi altra cosa: è l'insieme di tutto ciò e allo stesso tempo non lo è. Il sentiero della donna medicina è un percorso, un'avventura continua non solo per me, ma per molte altre donne di questo pianeta. E la donna originaria per eccellenza, che si voglia chiamarla Gaia, Pacha Marna o Madre Terra! Parla di nove donne che percorrono il proprio sentiero personale per trovare la donna medicina interiore. Esse rappresentano molte donne in tutto il mondo. Camminerai con queste donne e ti riconoscerai in loro o le odierai, se così fosse c'è ancora qualcosa in te di nascosto e irrisolto nel profondo che ti risuona; insieme a queste donne potrai scoprire che cos'è, per attingere alla tua medicina interiore e guarire.

Poetry. In the sixth volume of the Hobblebush Granite State Poetry Series, Patricia Fargnoli weaves together themes of solitude, silence, and rebirth through vivid images of winter and the outdoors.

"'There is a prologue to the articulate-that is the silence,' said Derek Wolcott. 'When that silence arrives, it can be the beginning of art.' As a prologue to her poems, Pat Fargnoli has listened deeply to the silence of winter, and the result is a collection of poems that capture the flame of the fox, the hunger of horses, and the solitude of snow-'the flakes settling on your parka / like the dust from just-born stars.' What is articulated through these poems stems not from reticence, but from quiet observation and wisdom. Such great attention teaches us 'the natural world comes to join you / if you go out to meet it,' and so we come to understand that 'truth is found in silence.'"—Meg Kearney

"Open this book, and you will find 'a blind woman / who tells us / the dreams of the blind.' You will sense the snow in your hands and the 'scent of raspberries and lime, / a wooden chair rocking.' You will see a man who 'stands in a salt marsh up to his knees in the black water' and 'some stranger waving to another stranger, / waving.' Who are these strangers, reader, if not ourselves? Patricia Fargnoli loves this delicacy of suggestion, tells us the dreams of the blind, which are perhaps our own, tells us of the natural world, which around us is vanishing. This is a book where, 'before all the bridges have burned / the cows will come home.' Yes, for those who wait, 'Cometh the hour, cometh the cows.' And so, 'in the silence of horses,' one perhaps, hears one's own voice more clearly. And then come 'blind horses' with the naked woman, and also 'six white horses eating gray sky' and 'the horses rear and bolt with the wide-eyed children.' This is a bestiary of the spirit."—Ilya Kaminsky

An undisputed American icon, John Wayne is recognized the world over for his signature drawl and confident swagger; the ultimate personification of American courage and honor. This fall, John Wayne Enterprises has chosen powerHouse Books to produce the first-ever exclusively authorized photographic record of his life, both on-screen and off.

John Wayne: The Legend and the Man celebrates Duke's life and legacy through film stills and backstage photos and snapshots ranging from his cinematic masterpieces—True Grit, Rio Grande, Sands of Iwo Jima, The Quiet Man, The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance, Fort Apache, and The Alamo—to a surprising variety of early-career, leading-man films: The Big Trail, Stagecoach, Flying Tigers, They Were Expendable. Also included are a wide selection of fan mail art; family albums, photos from friends and loved ones, and the many treasures gathered over the years in his immense archive (famed film costumes, publicity photos exchanged with costars, telegrams and medals), many of the photos and these personal effects being published for the first time, and all from Duke's personal archive.

Duke was more than just his on-screen persona—he was known by loved ones for his warmth, charm, charisma, passion, loyalty, and spirit. Through an in-depth exposé of the memorabilia, the private moments, the inner thoughts, and familial memories, John Wayne: The Legend and the Man captures both the man and the myth and furthers the legacy of this giant of American cinema.

“This wonderful collection of photographs gives us John Wayne the figurehead, John Wayne the actor, and John Wayne the human being. It's a rich experience to look through these pages and see where Wayne's three roles converged and diverged…. And in all the photos, you see another,
earlier America with different ideas of glamor, beauty, fashion, and behavior, a world that now feels as distant as the renaissance.
   A movie-made hero…a superstar, one of the very first…an image of manhood…and a great American artist. This book affords us a generous look at John Wayne from every angle.”
—Martin Scorsese, from the Introduction

“To the people of the world, John Wayne is the United States of America. He is what they believe it to be. He is what they hope it will be. And he is what they hope it will always be.”
—Maureen O'Hara

“In my acting, I have to identify with something in the character. The big tough boy on the side of right—that's me. Simple themes. Save me from the nuances. All I do is sincerity, and I've been selling the hell out of that ever since I started.”
—John Wayne (Time, June 9, 1967)

The notorious murders that tore a New Jersey family apart

Reports from the scene of the crime

Riveting courtroom testimony

On the night of November 17, 1950, Ernie Ingenito entered the house of his in-laws and opened fire on his wife Tessie and her parents. He then walked across the street and unloaded several rounds into other members of her family, including a nine-year-old girl. Still not satisfied, Ernie drove to Tessie's uncle's home in a neighboring town and shot the adult occupants there. When he was finished, five people were dead and four wounded. Was Ernie insane? Was he enraged, moved to desperation by his meddling, overbearing in-laws? Or was he simply a cold-blooded murderer who would stop at nothing to have his own way? This factual account, pieced together from interviews, legal documents, and letters, probes the mind of an unrepentant killer and follows the riveting story from the night of the tragic massacre to years of bungled trials and appeals that would decide his fate.

"Every time I feel sad or wish my brother was here to hug me, no matter where I am, I hear his favorite song on the radio."
