This collection of essays, published in 1858, inaugurated a series of similar books that Holmes would publish over the course of his long career.  The essays are set in the dining room of a boarding house and feature one-sided humorous perorations by the otherwise unnamed "Autocrat" on a number of subjects from old age to conversation.

Holmes’s inspiration for this engaging biography of John Lothrop Motley (1814–1877), was his personal relationship with the American historian and diplomat who wrote the incomparable Rise of the Dutch Republic. Holmes also studies Motley’s correspondence.

This is the final volume in Holmes’s trio of what he called his “medicated novels” (Elsie Venner and The Guardian Angel being the first two); A Mortal Antipathy explores a young man’s phobia about beautiful young women after being accidentally dropped into a thorn bush as a baby by an attractive young cousin.

Sparkling with wit and humor, The Guardian Angel—first serialized in The Atlantic Monthly—paints a charming portrait of society in a New England country town in the mid-nineteenth century. Homes’ inspiration came from his belief that man was a product solely of his heredity and environment.

For a few seconds with large machines, scientists and engineers have now created the fusion power of the stars in the laboratory and at the same time find the rich range of complex turbulent electromagnetic waves that transport the plasma confinement systems. The turbulent transport mechanisms created...

The book explains how magnetized plasmas self-organize in states of electromagnetic turbulence that transports particles and energy out of the core plasma faster than anticipated by the fusion scientists designing magnetic confinement systems in the 20th century. It describes theory, experiments and...

In this classic of the supernatural, a physician puzzles over seventeen-year-old Elsie’s neurosis and fiery temper—only diagnosing her when he learns that the girl’s mother, while pregnant, was bitten by a poisonous snake. Exploring themes of original sin and redemption in the footsteps of Hawthorne, this 1861 novel coined the term “Boston Brahmin.”
