“Geographically, some seven hundred miles separate Aldo Leopold’s Sand County from Joel Spring’s Niagara County. Spiritually, they lie much, much closer.” —Thomas McIntyre, field editor, Sports Afield Join Joel Spring for one brief season in the life of an avid outdoorsman. Stories of dogs and deer, friendship and adventure, heartache and triumph are set against a backdrop of the vivid colors of autumn. From the first few wisps of cool north wind in September, through the frigid mountain cold of a late December morning, the author treats you like a welcomed friend. Spring’s carefully crafted prose revisits the ghosts of hundreds of past hunts with good dogs and good friends will appeal not only to avid hunters and outdoorsmen but also anyone who appreciates fine writing about nature. Spend some time with Joel Spring and The Ghosts of Autumn. “This is my cathedral. These are my meditations. I was raised Methodist, but this is my religion. “The fields and woods and old orchards here are sacred ground. I feel the presence of my old friends. I am humbled in the face of the beauty of the place and experience the quiet only found in nature. The peace for which we all search envelops me. On my worst days I’ve never failed to find it here.” Skyhorse Publishing is proud to publish a broad range of books for hunters and firearms enthusiasts.

A man places five objects in his father’s coffin and tells no one. Can a medium tell him what they are? Can we communicate with the dead? Some people hope it’s possible, and some are sure of it. Thousands of people consult mediums, but many wonder if their abilities are real. To find out for himself, author Stéphane Allix interviews six mediums. Without telling them that they are being tested, Allix sees if they can name the five objects he secretly placed in his father’s coffin before it was buried. The results are astounding and confirm what scientific research on the subject has revealed: that life after death is indeed a rational hypothesis. Beyond his own test, Allix explores the stories of each psychic and what they’ve learned from their experiences: <li> How does one become a medium? </li>
<li> Is it a gift or a curse? </li>
<li> How do the deceased describe the transition between life and death? </li>
<li> Where do we go when we die?</li>
 The Test addresses all of these questions and more, leading us to discover a reality that is both simple and amazing: it is possible to communicate with our loved ones beyond the grave. Allix invites readers to discover what months of investigation and interviews have brought him to understand about the end of life, death, the afterlife, and communication with the other side. In the last chapter, renowned French psychiatrist Christophe Fauré, who specializes in end-of-life care and coming to terms with death, speaks about the unique journey of grief and offers some friendly advice about death and mediumship.
