A Separate Peace
by John Knowles
from Scribner
Set at a boys' boarding school in New England during the early years of World War II, A Separate Peace is a harrowing and luminous parable of the dark side of adolescence. Gene is a lonely, introverted intellectual. Phineas is a handsome, taunting, daredevil athlete. What happens between the two friends one summer, like the war itself, banishes the innocence of these boys and their world.
A bestseller for more than thirty years, A Separate Peace is John Knowles's crowning achievement and an undisputed American classic.

Do It
by Harold Garfinkel
from e-flux/Revolver
The Do It book contains artworks by more than 100 international artists in the form of do-it-yourself text instructions to be completed by the reader. Based on the traveling exhibition and e-flux online project curated by Hans Ulrich Obrist, the book also includes a selection of essays and interviews, and offers comprehensive material on the groundbreaking show. Do It began in 1993 with a discussion among friends Christian Boltanski, Bertrand Lavier, and Hans Ulrich Obrist. All three had been interested in various forms of instructional procedures since the early 1970s, and that evening they spoke of the instructions contained within their own work. From this discussion arose the idea of an exhibition of do-it-yourself descriptions and procedural instructions. Since 1993, the exhibition has taken place in venues in more than 40 cities worldwide, including Palo Alto, Pittsburg, Calgary, Atlanta, Toronto, Andover, Glasgow, Reykjavik, Helsinki, Bangkok, Copenhagen, Edmonton, Paris, Mexico City, and Costa Rica. Meaning has been multiplied as various interpretations of the text accumulated while the exhibition traveled from venue to venue. The online component, which invites participants to upload images of the results of their chosen project, is less concerned with copies, images, or reproductions of artworks than with human interpretation.
Reincarnation Cards, Awakening Far Memory
by John M. Knowles; Linda Leblanc
from Ger Maa Publishers
Reincarnation is a phenomenon that fascinates everyone. What is it that incarnates? What is the soul? Do we have the same personality from life to life? The same sex, or indeed, alternatively, any sex at all? Answers to these questions, and more, are now about to become accessible to you. Authors John Knowles, M.A. and Linda Leblanc believe the time has come for a wider perspective on the implications of reincarnational phenomena and what such experiences can tell us about who we really are. Reincarnation Cards, Awakening Far Memory consists of a quality hardcover book and 61 beautifully illustrated full-color cards carefully designed to evoke intuitive responses. This technique to access forgotten memories of other incarnations is an innovative approach that appeals to all ages. Knowles and Leblanc present the evidence for reincarnation and a philosophical framework for deeper understanding.
