PIONEER LIFE ON ONE OF AMERICA'S FINAL FRONTIERHal Borland (1900-1978) was a nature writer and novelist who produced numerous bestselling books including memoirs and young adult classics, as well as decades of nature writing for The New York Times. Borland considered himself a "natural philosopher," and he was interested in exploring the way human life was bound to the greater world of plants, animals, and natural processes.Hal Borland migrated with his parents to the still-unsettled, windswept high plains of eastern Colorado to take advantage of the Homestead Act. There they built a house from scratch, raised livestock, and worked hard, living off the land. High, Wide, and Lonesome is Borland's fascinating firsthand account through the eyes of the 10-year-old boy who faced the challenges of growing up on the frontier at the start of the twentieth century.It was a hard life. The harsh weather and unforgiving conditions of the western prairie gave life-and-death significance to the essential tasks of providing food, water, and warmth for themselves. At the same time, the hardships of the frontier landscape forced resilient pioneer families like the Borlands to develop strong bonds, simple values, and sincere appreciation for the beauty and natural rhythms of the open range. Together they learned fundamental truths about love, commitment, courage, and the bittersweet passage of time.The raw experiences described formed and defined the young Hal Borland. This memoir is a fascinating and unvarnished historical autobiography of life and survival on the frontier of America's real Wild West.This book is also available from Echo Point Books as a paperback (ISBN 1635618827).Echo Point Books specializes in bringing worthy books to the reading public, and publishes a number of Hal Borland's significant works, including the memoir The Dog Who Came to Stay (hardcover 1635618835, paperback 1635618843), the collection of his essays published in The New York Times-This Hill, This Valley (hardcover 1635619114, paperback 1635619106); the novel When the Legends Die (hardcover 1635618630, paperback 1635618649), and his nature almanacs, Sundial of the Seasons (hardcover 1635619076, paperback 1635619084), Book of Days (hardcover 1635617596, paperback 163561760X), and Twelve Moons of the Year (hardcover 1635619009, paperback 1635619017).

Seven Fundamental Principles That Could Change Your LifeAccording to ancient Greek and Egyptian literature, Hermes Trismegistus, legendary father of the occult and ascribed founder of astrology, practiced a divinely inspired form of mental alchemy focused on transforming the mind rather than physical materials. In essence, he pursued a sort of spiritual ascension, a transmutation of the soul leading to a freeing of one's true self. For millennia, though, the foundational precepts of early Hermetic mysticism remained shrouded in secrecy, known only to a select few. The Kybalion, purportedly written by three anonymous initiates of Hermes' teaching, finally parts the obscuring fog and reveals clear and simple pathways to understanding and applying the transformative spiritual knowledge, regardless of one's religious tradition or belief system. This life-changing treatise outlines seven universal laws upon which the entire Hermetic Philosophy, and possibly even the nature of existence itself, are based. These seven key principles are: mentalism, correspondence, vibration, polarity, rhythm, cause and effect, and gender. With its lucid commentary on aphorisms from original source material, The Kybalion provides modern readers with invaluable insights for achieving personal self-development and living the best life possible. It is also a vital resource for anyone seeking to deepen their understanding of paranormal philosophies, arcane truths, esoteric studies, magic, mysticism, the occult, the supernatural, or the wonders of the universe, or those simply seeking a deeper appreciation for the secret doctrines and powerful wisdom of the ancients.This Echo Point Books edition is complete with index. This book is also available from Echo Point Books in hardcover (ISBN 1635617561).
