Winner of the Duke of Wellington Medal for Military History, this dramatic new account of the dawn of modern East Asia places Korea at the center of a transformed world order wrought by imperial greed and devastating wars.

In the nineteenth century, Russia participated in two "great games." One, well known, pitted the tsar's empire against Britain in Central Asia. The other, hitherto unrecognized, saw Russia, China, and Japan vying for domination of Korea. This eye-opening account argues that the contest over Korea set the course for the future of the global order.

After centuries of isolation, Korea became a prize in the Sino-Japanese War at the close of the nineteenth century and the Russo-Japanese War at the beginning of the twentieth. Japan's victories not only gained the Meiji regime a colony but also dislodged Imperial China from regional supremacy. As the fate of the declining tsarist empire was sealed by its surprising military defeat, the United States and Britain sized up the new Japanese challenger.

A vivid story of two geopolitical earthquakes sharing Korea as their epicenter, The Other Great Game rewrites the script of twentieth-century rivalry in the Pacific and enriches our understanding of contemporary global affairs, from the origins of Korea's bifurcated identity--a legacy of internal politics amid the imperial squabble--to China's irredentist ambitions and Russia's nostalgic dreams of recovering great-power status.

In the dystopian kingdom of Urunaria, the higher you live, the more you're worth.

From the bold mind of Roku Souna - a gripping sci-fi debut where one boy dares to rise against a world built to keep him down.

In the towering kingdom of Urunaria, society is literally built on inequality. The wealthiest reside at the top, while the poor are confined to the dark, crumbling depths below. For Kuro, a young slave raised by his uncle in the lowest levels, life offers no future - only labor, loss, and silence. But when his uncle is executed by the state, Kuro inherits a mysterious device: Gizmo - a pair of mechanical gloves with the power to grip, scale, and defy the very system built to crush him.

Armed with nothing but this outlawed tool and his burning desire for freedom, Kuro begins his ascent, both up the tower and against a society that deems him worthless.

Blending sci-fi action with sharp social commentary, Roko Souna's Gizmo Riser challenges readers to consider the cost of hierarchy and the courage it takes to rise. Perfect for fans of Blame!, Deadman Wonderland, and Made in Abyss, Roku Souna's daring debut delivers explosive worldbuilding, unforgettable visuals, and a hero who refuses to stay in his place.

UNDERDOG is the memoir of one of the youngest passengers on the MS St. Louis, escaping Nazi Germany to Holland and eventually settling in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Against All Odds, Fighting for Justice is the story of a human rights lawyer representing all the prominent civil rights leaders in Milwaukee during the 1960s and decades thereafter.

The world's worst serial murderer, Jeffrey Dahmer, writing from Columbia Correctional Institution on February 4, 1994, had this to say about Thomas Jacobson's efforts to make him pay for his gruesome slaughter of seventeen victims.

Dear Mr. Jacobson,

Congratulations are in order. Because of your laziness, you've single-handedly ruined the proposed deal we had on the table. You were aware from the beginning that in order for the deal to be accepted, we wanted all 17 families to benefit from it.

Now I heard that you wanted to waste more of your client's money by suing my dad - what a foolish shyster you are! If you insist on continuing to lead your clients down the garden path, chasing after "willow the wisps," then so be it. Let me assure you that your efforts will fail. You're simply too incompetent to handle something like that.

I'll be writing to your clients and letting them know that you're nothing but an incompetent "twit" who is only interested in "using" them.

Sincerely, Jeff

Jacobson obtained from Dahmer one-half million dollars for eleven of the victim families. The book follows the life of accomplished Milwaukee Civil Rights Lawyer Thomas M. Jacobson from his escape from Nazi Germany, his journey to becoming a nationally recognized civil rights lawyer, to seeking justice in one of the nations highest profile cases in the 1980s: Serial Killer Jeffrey Dahmer.

Smothered by Riches is the story of a systematic and disciplined effort on the part of an extremely wealthy group of Americans, to do several things. One, is to see that ruling the United States is done according to principles and beliefs that benefits their class and interests. They are a largely invisible group, present in America from its earliest days, but America's post-WWII victory delivered into their hands enormous resources. These have been amplified by their anti-democratic impulses and belief that "they" as a group, are "the right sort" to lead and bend the populace (which they tend to regard as an unlettered mob) to their will.

They coalesced recently in opposition to Franklin Delano Roosevelt's New Deal and have never weakened their efforts to defeat its democratic and universal faith in working people. This aspect of the story begins with a letter written by Lewis Powell to the US Chamber of Commerce, decrying the failure of free enterprise to stand up for itself against veins of liberalism swelling the country as unpopular wars; the rights of minorities and women, the demands of the environmental movement began compelling citizens to behave in ways that flouted the values of the ruling elites.

Funded by young billionaires they went on to construct a 65-year-long disciplined assault on liberalism, the unshapely fruit of which terminated in the second election of Donald Trump to the Presidency. It is easier to understand the damage he has been able to wreak on our institutions when we understood that the organizing principle of American values is often the accumulation of riches rather than a true understanding of wealth. Where we are today, is no accident. The failure of successive generations to protect our political system from the overwhelming power of money has brought us to this pass.

This book is a practical, non-technical guide for business leaders, professionals, and curious minds navigating the next frontier of AI.

In a world where ChatGPT took us by storm, a far more powerful revolution is now unfolding: AI Agents. Like Jarvis in Iron Man or Samantha in Her, these intelligent systems can execute actions, learn from experience, and orchestrate digital interactions with minimal human supervision. They promise to redefine business and society.

However, behind the excitement lies a crucial reality: a significant gap between promise and reality.

This comprehensive guide on agentic AI cuts through the hype and offers a clear, jargon-free strategic roadmap to understanding and applying this technology. The authors bring a rare perspective, having implemented agentic AI across diverse organizations - from global enterprises to agile startups - witnessing both remarkable successes and sobering failures.

The question isn't whether AI agents will transform your industry - it's how you will lead that change. Every revolution demands foresight and responsibility. This book challenges you to not just adopt agentic AI, but to shape it with purpose and integrity. Through illuminating case studies and hands-on experiments, the authors reveal:

• A step-by-step method for identifying high-value agentic opportunities and building impactful agents in your business, work, and personal life
• The secrets behind today's most successful agentic transformations at scale: cutting costs by over 25% while boosting customer satisfaction by over 40%
• Approaches to seize the new opportunities of the Agent Economy - new business models, Agentic-driven startups, rapid scaling, and game-changing revenue opportunities
• Hands-on guidance to navigate common pitfalls such as workflow integration, error handling, data quality, agent control, and user adoption
• The new mindset and skills required to lead effectively in a world where humans and AI agents need to work seamlessly together
• The profound impact of agentic AI on society, employment, education, and our personal lives

AI agents create what the authors call "compounding intelligence advantages" - the more they're used, the smarter and more valuable they become, creating an accelerating gap between early adopters and laggards. Hence, those who understand and leverage AI agents today will define the next era of business.

This is a story about community - about how a single place can shape friendships, love stories, and memories that last a lifetime.

Beginning in 1960s Brooklyn, when 'travel' meant visiting the next neighborhood and your community was your whole world, the Palms Shore Club in Sheepshead Bay became both a hub and a symbol of its time.

By day, families swam, played cards, and lingered over Mahjong in the sun. By night, the doors opened to dinner dances, casino nights, disco, and live entertainment. Politicians, performers, and neighborhood regulars mingled together. Think The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel meets Dirty Dancing with a hint of Goodfellas.

The Palms reflected the changing times around it. Yet across four decades, one thing remained constant: from Memorial Day to Labor Day, the Palms was a summer home to the middle-class Jewish and Italian families who returned year after year.

Danielle Berfond was just eleven when her grandparents, Bob and Gloria Berfond, closed the gates on this Brooklyn institution they had built. Twenty-five years later, she returns to reclaim its story, capturing the voices, the history, and the unforgettable characters who made the Palms Shore Club an irreplaceable Brooklyn landmark.

Part family legacy, part oral history, and wholly alive with nostalgia and heart, this is the story of a place that shaped a generation.

When you're from the Bronx, people perceive a certain toughness. It is that Bronx attitude that permeates this memoir. A childhood surrounded by family imbued the author with a sense of duty and empowerment that got this daughter of Puerto Rican parents through a journey in uncharted territory like a college application process and so many things that people in her family had not experienced but expected from her. She writes about culture shock in college and lovely moments of identity and purpose, which lead her to a thirty-year career in New York media.

The author describes her challenges and victories as a young reporter covering city hall during the Koch administration to the role of publisher and CEO. Her career mirrored and coincided with the unprecedented growth in New York's diverse Latino community. From her Bronx childhood to a seat at the table in New York's iconic boardrooms, the author demonstrates how Latinas lead.

This memoir is a celebration of family, traditions, heritage, and good old hardcore New York City hustle.

In this cute and spicy office rom-com, Maki prefers her perfect virtual boyfriend to real men after a bad relationship left her deep in debt. But when the hot new VP at her company proposes a fake relationship to help solve each other's problems, that line soon starts to blur. A Kodansha Print Club series.

TAKE A GAMBLE

27-year old Maki Enomoto is done with relationships. One year ago, her terrible boyfriend made her the joint guarantor on a loan before promptly ghosting her with a mountain of debt. Now she just wants to be left alone to her quiet otaku life, working her office job to make her ex's monthly repayments and devoting what scant little is left to her hobbies. Namely, her virtual boyfriend Allen-kun, who is hot, kind, and dependable in a way that real-life men aren't--least of all the hotshot young VP who keeps getting on her case about deadlines and deliverables.

Your nervous system runs like a phone battery.

At 100%, you can handle anything.

At 15%? Everything becomes overwhelming.

That difference is your load capacity.

Here's what most people miss: load capacity is biological. Low iron means your brain isn't getting enough oxygen. That's load. A sluggish thyroid means your neurons fire slower. That's load. You can't meditate or journal your way out of iron deficiency or hypothyroidism.

Brains Like Ours connects what's happening in your body to what's happening in your mood, your energy, and your brain. It's a science-backed survival manual for women tired of being told their labs are "normal" while their biology runs on empty. Tyla shows you what's draining your battery, gives you the science to restore it, and the language to ask for it.

Written by a clinical scientist with over a decade in hospital pathology, this is not a self-help script or a wellness to-do list. It's a science-backed survival manual for women who are tired of being told their labs are "normal" while their nervous systems are running on empty.

Inside you'll learn:

• How nutrition directly builds or drains your brain's capacity: from omega-3s and B vitamins to blood sugar, gut health, and the nutrients most providers never check
• How your hormones, cycle, perimenopause, and thyroid shape your mood at the biological level, and what to ask for on your next lab order
• Why movement, connection, mindfulness, and even hobbies are not luxuries but measurable nervous system restoration tools

Every chapter ends with Clinical Cues (the signals your body sends when capacity is compromised), bare minimum action steps, and a lab tracker so you can match your symptoms to what's actually happening in your biology.

This book doesn't ask you to fix yourself. It shows you what's draining your battery, gives you the science to restore it, and the language to ask for it.

What if the writing life isn't about daily word counts--but about daily attention to your whole self?

You don't need to write every day to be a writer. You don't need perfect conditions, endless hours, or a life free from doubt. What you need is permission to bring your whole, imperfect self to the page--and practices that nourish your soul as you write.

All of life is the writing life.

Drawing on her experience as a spiritual director working primarily with writers, Charlotte Donlon offers something rare: a book that honors both the craft of writing and the care of the soul. Through contemplative practices, personal stories, and wisdom from writers like Toni Morrison, Margaret Walker, and Kaveh Akbar, she invites you to discover how rest, doubt, grief, and joy all become sacred ground for creative flourishing.

Structured around five essential movements--"Begin," "Belong," "Become," "Behold," "Bestow"--this book offers practical rituals and gentle companionship for the real conditions of your life. Whether you're navigating resistance, recovering from burnout, or simply longing for a more sustainable practice, you'll find permission to write from exactly where you are.

Writers of all backgrounds are welcome here. People of deep faith and profound doubt. Those who write every day and those who write in stolen moments. Published authors and private journalers. This is a sanctuary, not a system--a space where your creative identity isn't measured by output but nourished by attention.

Spiritual Direction for Writers doesn't promise to make you more productive. It promises something better: to help you become more fully yourself, on and off the page. Because when writing helps make you a kinder, wiser, and more generous human being--when it opens you to what matters most--you've already succeeded.

"Charlotte's book makes space, supports readers, writers, and listeners, and truly cares about the people who encounter its pages. It is a place to land and rest, a place to be curious, to experiment, to pray, to breathe, to feel, and to embrace the truth of your identity as a writer."
--Ashley M. Jones, poet laureate emerita of Alabama
