Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - There are places the world has moved on from. Places left behind, repurposed, or quietly erased. But something remains.In WITNESS to What Was - Volume 3, Todd Fischer continues his journey into the spaces where history does not fully disappear. From the hollow stillness of once-crowded city streets to buildings that carry the weight of everything they have seen, this volume explores the lingering presence of human experience embedded in physical space. Not as ghosts in the traditional sense, but as echoes. Residue. Memory without a voice.Through immersive, first-hand accounts, Fischer steps into locations shaped by tragedy, transformation, and time itself. He documents what it feels like to stand where something happened - where lives changed, where moments ended, where the world, even briefly, was not the same. The result is a series of deeply atmospheric narratives that blur the line between observation and sensation, asking a simple but unsettling question: what does a place remember Volume 3 expands the scope of the series, moving through urban landscapes, forgotten interiors, and moments of collective history that still hum beneath the surface. Each chapter serves as both documentation and reflection, capturing not only what can be seen, but what can be felt when you are truly present.WITNESS to What Was is not about proving anything. It is about paying attention.Because long after we leave a place behind, it may not leave us.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Beneath the endless forests and frozen lakes of Finland lives a mythology born not from fantasy, but from survival.In the winter of 1996, author Todd Fischer traveled deep into the north searching for the ancient spiritual traditions of the Finnic peoples. What began as an investigation into folklore and the Kalevala slowly transformed into something far more personal: a journey through silence, wilderness, memory, and the psychological landscapes that gave birth to myth itself.Moving through remote villages, frozen rivers, abandoned cemeteries, northern forests, and the vast darkness of Lapland, Fischer encounters the lingering echoes of an older world where songs held power, forests possessed presence, and the boundary between mythology and human consciousness felt dangerously thin.Exploring the Finnish Mythos is part travel memoir, part folklore investigation, and part philosophical meditation on humanity's ancient relationship with nature, isolation, death, and meaning. Atmospheric, haunting, and deeply reflective, the book explores not only the old gods of Finland, but the emotional realities that continue to keep them alive beneath the surface of the modern world.Because some myths are never truly forgotten.They simply wait beneath the snow.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Todd Fischer takes you behind the scenes of America's haunted and hidden history. From abandoned nuclear bunkers to the spectral decks of the Queen Mary, from the burned streets of Los Angeles to the tragic 27 Club, Fischer walks where history left its scars.From the abandoned nuclear bunkers of the Cold War to the ghostly wreckage of the Carrollton bus crash, from the haunted halls of the Queen Mary to the tragic stages of the 27 Club, Todd Fischer takes readers on a journey through America's hidden tragedies and spectral echoes.In Volume 2, Fischer bears witness to the places where history left its scars, the sites where human ambition, error, and violence collided with fate. You will walk with him through the eerie desolation of Kaho'olawe, where an island's sacred lands were sacrificed for military testing. You will board ships both legendary and infamous-the Queen Mary and the decommissioned USS Eldridge-feeling the weight of the past in every creaking deckboard. You will step into the shadows of Los Angeles during the Northridge earthquake, the LA riots, and the burned-out streets, where fear and chaos became almost tangible.Fischer explores cultural tragedies and conspiracies alike, from the deaths of Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, and Jim Morrison to the cursed Gretsch guitar of Eddie Cochran, tracing the spectral footprints of talent lost too soon. He moves seamlessly between the haunted and the historical, illuminating the fine line between memory, myth, and lingering presence.With intimate firsthand accounts, vivid descriptions, and a poetically haunting eye, Fischer reminds us that the echoes of the past are never fully gone. They linger in buildings, in objects, and in the air itself. Witness to What Was: Volume 2 is a meditation on mortality, memory, and the ghosts that live among us, waiting for those willing to see, to listen, and to remember.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Still Learning is India Oxenberg's intimate, first-person account of how she was lured into and, seven years later, escaped from the NXIVM cult, DOS.As the secret sorority within NXIVM's vast Ponzi network, DOS was created by Keith Raniere and his acolytes to serve as a source of 'slaves' to Keith and the other 'masters'. Despite the fantastical headlines, the focus of Still Learning reflects what many parents and age peers of India's will recognize as a far more familiar 20-something conundrum - a new adult trying to discover who she is, and in the process second-guessing the advice of parents, concerned siblings, and close friends who prove to be all too right - about a romantic partner, a sharp turn off of a hard-won educational track, or a dangerous group like NXIVM. India's is a surprisingly relatable 'adulting' tale set amidst one of the most alarming news stories of the day, rich with data on warning signs that distinguish exploration from exploitation.This is much more than a survival story; it's a deeply personal reflection on how to come out (or help a loved one come out) the other side intact, still hopeful, and remarkably adult.…
