The year 2010 marked the 100th anniversary of Mark Twain’s death. In celebration of this important milestone and in honor of the cherished tradition of publishing Mark Twain's works, UC Press published Autobiography of Mark Twain, Volume 1, the first of a projected three-volume edition of the complete, uncensored autobiography. The book became an immediate bestseller and was hailed as the capstone of the life’s work of America's favorite author. This Reader's Edition, a portable paperback in larger type, republishes the text of the hardcover Autobiography in a form that is convenient for the general reader, without the editorial explanatory notes. It includes a brief introduction describing the evolution of Mark Twain's ideas about writing his autobiography, as well as a chronology of his life, brief family biographies, and an excerpt from the forthcoming Autobiography of Mark Twain, Volume 2—a controversial but characteristically humorous attack on Christian doctrine.

The final remark of the program came from an audience member who was a high school English teacher (John Pascal): \"Everyone at my school kept asking me, \"Why did [Alan Gribben] do it?\" And I kept saying, 'I dont know, but I am not going to believe everything the media is saying.

Introduction: In most scientific as well as popular literature on ESP phenomena, Psi is reasonably presumed to serve an adaptive function for the individual (e.g., Carpenter, 2012). Argument: I offer an alternative hypothesis about precognition in general and premonitions in particular-one that helps account for why, if precognition orients toward the individual's survival, premonitory dreams so often focus on tragic outcomes that in reality cannot be avoided. Through close examination of premonitory dream accounts and the circumstances surrounding them, including Samuel Clemens' famous dream of his brother Henry's death (Twain, 2010) among others, I will show that survivor's guilt is a common theme in premonitions and a likely key to understanding these baffling phenomena.
