How did a Scorpion become a constellation? Who lifted the Archer into the sky? Which timeless tales gave birth to the twelve zodiac signs—and when did we forget we ever knew their origins? In ancient times, mythos was neither true nor false but a living story, rich with symbolic wisdom waiting to be remembered. In Origin Myths of the Stars, each chapter unfolds a tale older than memory—retold through a Jungian, archetypal lens that illuminates the unconscious patterns shaping our lives. Simple, lyrical, and accessible, these narratives transform Cancer’s tender devotion, Capricorn’s surrender to fate, and every sign in between into guiding mirrors and medicine. Here, you’ll rediscover the hidden truths written in starlight and carry their lessons into your own journey of self‑discovery.
Von König’s War examines the extraordinary rise of Aldrich von König—one of Germany’s most enigmatic and influential figures in modern history. Told through the meticulous chronicles of his friend and fellow officer Karl Müller, this volume explores von König’s early years, characterized by intellectual brilliance, courage, and an unwavering sense of duty. After distinguishing himself through conspicuous valor during the Great War and earning the coveted Blue Max, von König emerged as a beacon of hope amidst the shattered aftermath. In the turbulent years following the war, von König’s intense opposition to communism—and specifically to Ernst Thälmann—deepened significantly through his clandestine command of a covert military operation in Russia, solidifying his determination to protect Germany from ideological threats. Yet, as Adolf Hitler ascended—his fervent nationalism and anti-communist stance echoing aspects of von König’s own beliefs—Aldrich was faced with a profound moral dilemma: could collaboration with Hitler’s increasingly radical methods ever be justified, even in the name of Germany's future? Drawn from Müller’s original writings and previously undiscovered historical documents, this first of three volumes chronicles von König’s formative years, his ascension to prominence, and his relentless pursuit of a robust and sovereign Germany, free from the crippling restrictions of the Treaty of Versailles.
A freed mind is an eternal mind! Patañjali Yogadarśanam is a new translation of and commentary on the Patañjali Yoga system, a 2000-year-old treatise on the wisdom of Yoga and how to achieve it. The Patañjali system has become a fundamental text in modern yoga circles, but most translations don’t capture the essence of Yoga philosophy. Patañjali Yogadarśanam aims to correct that knowledge gap with an updated, in-depth translation. It begins with a detailed introduction to Yoga philosophy and Kapila’s Sāṃkhya tradition. Both Sāṃkhya and Yoga are mokṣa dharma śāstras, doctrines to liberate an individual from duḥkha, pain and suffering. These philosophies are also a panacea to unshackle the constant concomitant frustration accompanying all human beings in trying to fundamentally achieve their perfection in all their efforts and endeavors. The book then presents Patañjali’s four sections on Yoga philosophy, arranging word-for-word translation of the Sūtrams from Saṃskṛt to English with commentaries. It guides practitioners of yoga to cultivate free and discerning minds. If you want to understand the complexities of Yoga philosophy and free the mind, this comprehensive text provides the fundamentals of ancient knowledge.

The first book in a planned series, Parents and Schools in Partnership responds to the growing call for partnership-based involvement in schools as a means to enhance student academic achievement.

What could an HIV cure mean? Holding HIV shares the raw, poetic voices of 27 San Francisco community members living with or affected by HIV. Born from the HOPE Research Collaboratory’s Community Arts Integrated Research program, this collection reveals poetry’s power to distill life’s profound joys, deep anguish, and everyday realities into a roadmap for cure research—where hope and fear collide, and resilience becomes the heart of progress. As part of an HIV cure research project, participants created clay “holders” as artistic responses to the “Block-Lock-Stop” strategy (an epigenetic approach to permanently inactivate HIV) and to two questions—“What excites you about an HIV cure?” and “What are your fears regarding an HIV cure?" Three poets then translated participants’ discussions about their art, contextualizing hopes and anxieties alongside the devastating 2025 United States’ federal HIV funding cuts. These narratives are more important than ever as ongoing challenges to HIV research and prevention threaten the significant progress of recent decades.
