The Door Between The Trees

Charles H. Sinclair, plagued by the death of his fiancee, tries to find meaning by burying himself in his career. One foggy morning he hits a deer on the turnpike and wakes to find himself in a Lenape village. The son of a Presbyterian minister, Charles is unprepared for the temptations of this strange land. He is cast into a life-and-death struggle against the dark forces of the Ebenmoloch and the followers of the ancient Canaanite god, Baal. Charles learns two other men from Earth crossed into the land before him. Ian, a blacksmith from the American Revolution, and Nathanael, a preacher from the 1730s, help Charles in the fight. Much to their surprise, the Ebenmoloch has the aide of two individuals from Earth as well; a mechanical-eyed Hessian soldier and the beautiful warrior, Golden Dawn. THE DOOR BETWEEN THE TREES asks if love can endure time and separation. It probes what happens in the heart of a man cut off from his world and all he knows. Can a heart in bondage to lust find genuine love? Can reason withstand the dilemmas of time dilation and Einstein's relativity, amidst a conflict of good and evil? Can one man make a difference?

Joanna Bannerman, capricious, selfish and warm-hearted, passionately seeks life and ‘loveliness’. Certainly the bustling streets of Glasgow at the turn of the century promise much greater excitement than the solid evangelical background she has known hitherto. Her studies in the School of Art open up new horizons – of independence and love – and Joanna reaches for them all. First published in 1920, this novel powerfully evokes the image of a young woman ensnared yet ultimately released by her capacity for emotion. It contains a strong autobiographical element and is also a powerful evocation of the life and industry of the Second City of the Empire.

The once denuded northeastern United States is now a region of trees. Nature Next Door argues that the growth of cities, the construction of parks, the transformation of farming, the boom in tourism, and changes in the timber industry have together brought about a return of northeastern forests. Although historians and historical actors alike have seen urban and rural areas as distinct, they are in fact intertwined, and the dichotomies of farm and forest, agriculture and industry, and nature and culture break down when the focus is on the history of Northeastern woods. Cities, trees, mills, rivers, houses, and farms are all part of a single transformed regional landscape. In an examination of the cities and forests of the northeastern United States-with particular attention to the woods of Maine, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, and Vermont-Ellen Stroud shows how urbanization processes there fostered a period of recovery for forests, with cities not merely consumers of nature but creators as well. Interactions between city and hinterland in the twentieth century Northeast created a new wildness of metropolitan nature: a reforested landscape intricately entangled with the region's cities and towns.
