The only Arabic voice to have witnessed the Ottoman conquest of Cairo, Ibn Iyās, is an eminent historical source for the late Mamluk period. This book is the first to take stock of the author's complete works, approaching him through an examination of his narrative voice and writing strategies. Tracing Ibn Iyās's working process by compilation analysis, it shows how the author adapted his representations of Egyptian history to his writing projects and audience. Ibn Iyās's ways of worldmaking are shaped deeply by beliefs, biases and intellectual trends as well as the impact of the social and historical context the author wrote in. Knowing these conditioning factors allows to understand his presentation of history as an individual voice of his time.

According to an ESP technique known as psychometry, violent emotional events leave an "imprint" in the atmosphere which, even after hundreds of years, can be recaptured by a sensitive person. The "reading" of such vibrations may therefore allow the factual reconstruction of past events, and that is what Hans Holzer has done in eight instances described in this book. King Arthur, John Wilkes Booth, Nell Gwyn, Aaron Burr are some of the well-known figures with whom the author has had psychic contact with the help of several reputable mediums, thus gaining new, exciting perspectives of the historical events associated with them. An unusual, spell-binding excursion into history by way of ESP.

Sherlock, an egocentric businessman in Los Angeles in 2011, is about to fire his secretary, Sophie. But when he walks into an elevator in the skyscraper he works in, he finds himself travelling back in time to the moment when the first plane is about to hit World Trade Center One on September 9, 2001. His actions during the tragedy in the famous Windows on the World restaurant transform him into a man who is caring and heroic. This gripping story is about those people who were left to die, and how an interloper from the future succeeded in saving a few. It is, most importantly, about the brave efforts of those who struggled to save the people in the towers, and the challenges they faced on this horrible day in New York City.
