The Secret of Eliza’s Journal By Taylor Hunter Kimball I never expected to find a murder buried in my own family’s past. Ephraim, Utah, was supposed to be my fresh start—a quiet town where I could teach criminal justice at Snow College, restore forgotten pioneer graves, and leave behind the chaos of big-city crime. But the day I uncovered my ancestor’s hidden journal, everything changed. Eliza Kimball’s words weren’t just faded ink on fragile pages—they were a confession. A warning. A key to a mystery that refused to stay buried. As I pored over her 19th-century entries, I ...

Americans have always loved guns. This special bond was forged during the American Revolution and sanctified by the Second Amendment. It is because of this exceptional relationship that American civilians are more heavily armed than the citizens of any other nation. Or so we're told. In The Gunning of America, historian Pamela Haag overturns this conventional wisdom. American gun culture, she argues, developed not because the gun was exceptional but precisely because it was not.

WARNING: “Open this book and you will possess the powers of the earth, sky and the gods themselves...” The Book of Thoth, Egypt’s god of magic, is the most dangerous source of esoteric texts ever written. Anson Hunter, controversial alternative Egyptologist and theorist, is obsessed with locating it before the wrong people get hold of it. The texts bring frightening power but also a terrible backlash.

Leading historian Lynn Hunt rethinks why history matters in today’s global world and how it should be written. George Orwell wrote that "history is written by the winners." Even if that seems a bit too cut-and-dried, we can say that history is always written from a viewpoint but that viewpoints change, sometimes radically. The history of workers, women, and minorities challenged the once-unquestioned dominance of the tales of great leaders and military victories.

The hunt for the origin of the AIDS virus began over 20 years ago. It was a journey that went around the world and involved painstaking research to unravel how, when, and where the virus first infected humans. Dorothy H. Crawford traces the story back to the remote rain forests of Africa - home to the primates that carry the ancestral virus - and reveals how HIV-1 first jumped from chimpanzees to humans in rural southeast Cameroon. Examining how this happened, and how it then travelled back to Colonial west central Africa where it eventually exploded as a pandemic, she asks why and how it was able to spread so widely.
