Collection: Adult

Antediluvian engages with themes of the ecstatic, desire, mental illness, and spirituality. Written in part during the COVID-19 pandemic, the book's speaker calls on an intertextual constellation of artists as they attempt to wade through agoraphobia, parse out their relationship with God, and navigate falling in love. Overall, the landscape of the collection is a deep dive into the speaker's psyche, and what it means to push past the confines of one's oppressive interior.

Clean energy won't save us from the effects of climate change.

Amid corporate Net Zero campaigns, the politics of the Green New Deal, and the calls to abandon fossil fuels for renewable technology -- or vice versa -- lies a troubling truth: No clean technological solutions can solve the problem of human-induced climate change.

To find a credible path to a sustainable future, we must set aside hopes of building our way out of humanity's addictions to energy and material convenience. In Why We Struggle to Go Green, Tom Ortiz offers a clear-eyed assessment of our efforts to mitigate the effects of climate change. As a mechanical engineer who has traversed the conventional and renewable energy landscapes for 30 years, Ortiz provides an in-depth yet easy-to-understand assessment of the harsh reality facing mankind.

Bridging the gap between academic research and journalism, Ortiz shows why there are no easy answers in the energy transition. Beginning with a general overview of human energy use and a summary of key physical constraints on energy and natural resource extraction, the book details five pillars of the transition: electrification, carbon capture and storage, hydrogen, recycling, and carbon pricing. Ortiz concludes with recommendations for changes society can make that, while perhaps painful and controversial, will reduce our collective environmental impact and bequeath a more manageable legacy to future generations.

Why We Struggle to Go Green cuts through the hype and rhetoric to offer something rare: climate change realism from someone who's spent decades looking for solutions.

The definitive monograph on innovative American painter Lisa Yuskavage

Lisa Yuskavage is one of the most acclaimed living painters. Known for her highly original approach to figurative painting, Yuskavage challenges conventional understandings of the genre. At times playful and at other times rueful, her bold, eccentric, exhibitionist, and introspective characters inhabit fantastical and vivid compositions, assuming the dual role of subject and object.

Although inspired by popular culture, the artist's technique is deeply rooted in the history of painting, establishing an underlying tension between polar opposites such as high and low, sacred and profane, harmony and dissonance.

Yuskavage's first proper monograph features more than 150 color images, including never-before-seen photographs of her studio, along with insightful text contributions from Barry Schwabsky, Lena Dunham, and Ariel Levy.

In 2026, we celebrate our country's 250th birthday during a time of unthinkable threats to our Constitution and our Democracy. It's a time to remember, reflect, and recommit. A time to hope, dream and build, a time to show up, stand solid, and lead with strong voices that cannot be silenced.

As poets, authors, and members of the League of Women Voters, we recognize the power of language to connect people, to stir hearts and minds, and to reaffirm the enduring promise of Democracy. We aim to illuminate its beauty, its fragility, and its strength, at a time when we cannot afford to take its core principles for granted.

We express our love of country and Democracy by lifting our voices together. Inspired by artist Niki Johnson's series Pillars of Democracy, this national poetry anthology features poems by League members from across the country. A portion of proceeds goes to support Voting and Women's Rights.

Usa-kun and Hitomi's romantic holidays are over, and now Usa-kun has to knuckle down and study for his college entrance exams! Hitomi wishes their high school days could last forever, but crunch time draws ever nearer. How will the lovebirds spend their final days of high school together?

The final volume!

A science-fantasy inspired by Charles Perrault's fairy tale "Peau d'Âne," The Color of Time blends the whimsy of classic fairy tales with the sapphic romance of Fable for the End of the World and the large-scale politics of The Mercy of Gods.

Princess Cyrelle has always been faithful and true to her family, country, and Goddess. But now her brother, King Elias of Cicia, has asked for-no, commanded-her hand in marriage.

Desperate to avoid this incestuous union, Cyrelle requests a series of increasingly impossible gifts and petitions the Goddess for a sign to sway her resolute brother's proposal. As Elias persists undeterred, Cyrelle must risk everything to escape the only life she's ever known.

Soon, she becomes Green Scales, hiding and struggling to survive on her own, far across the galaxy. But Phau isn't the peaceful refuge Cyrelle had hoped for, and when the leader of its burgeoning rebel faction recognizes the runaway princess, she is forced to choose between safety and freedom. With the fate of two kingdoms on the line and nowhere left to run, Cyrelle must decide what it means to be true to herself, to her people, and to her heart.

A startling mix of True Crime, literary fiction, and noir, A Woman's Guide to True Crime captures one of America's best under-sung writers directly at the start of their ascent.

A collection unlike any other, each story in A Woman's Guide to True Crime features shocking historical events examined through the eyes of victims, killers, or the women left behind.

With emotional precision, an uncanny eye for fragility, and an all too grounded sense of unease, the sixteen stories in this collection explore what happens when the blood is washed away, examining everything from the after-effects of matricide in Milwaukee, to two cold, empty graves in Chicago, to a Missouri town where everyone witnesses a murder but keeps their mouths shut, to a Californian Christmas torn apart by a tumbling Cessna, to a small barn outside Hinterkaifeck, Germany, where the dead ask if you, too, heard that sound from behind the walls.

Featuring several award winning stories, including "The Book of Ruth" and "Casadastraphobia", both selections for the renowned The Best American Mystery and Suspense, A Woman's Guide to True Crime plunges readers into the lives of the women at the center of some of the most mysterious and well-known criminal cases in history, then dares them to ask if the present is really any different than the past.

RAGE AGAINST THE GODSJaehwan's unprecedented actions are making waves in Metaverse and catching the attention of many...including some very powerful forces. The higher-ups have taken notice of him, and they've decided it's time to squash this upstart once and for all with overwhelming force. Things are looking dire for the awoken one, until an unexpected ally joins the battle...

The new, magical dungeon-adventure fantasy series from the author of Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? Seeking to fulfill a promise to a childhood friend, Will Serfort enters Regarden Magical Academy with the goal of making it to the top of the magical world. There's just one problem: he can't use magic! Will his sword skills be the key to unlocking his true potential?

After a monstrous battle between two formidable Magia Vander, Will's fate is finally decided and he proceeds to his new faction. However, while those advancing to the Tower expect a straightforward orientation for their new assignments, they instead receive a grave mission: find the traitor who aided in the Terminalia attack. The Grim Generation must tread very carefully if they are to sniff out suspects in their respective factions...

Before Draven was the feared captain over one of Bathara's revered aggregates, he was merely a teenager learning how to better his magic, better his combat, and better himself. With his brothers by his side, Draven battles against a world that has carved out his identity with a ruthless blade-despite the wrath Tynan Dalmar brings down on him each time he falls short of his father's measure. But after a particularly cruel interaction where the fraying chords holding his family together officially snap, Draven's mother whisks him away in the middle of the night to finally put distance between them and House Dalmar.

It is in the unsuspecting city of Príth-where colors dance and streets thrum with a living heartbeat-that Draven's world expands far broader than he ever imagined. And as he watches his mother's smile return while confronting his deepest fears, Draven believes he has finally found his place in the world. Has discovered the true warmth of a family at last.

Until his father shatters that illusion into a million, serrated pieces.

A Composition of Scars is a novella in the Cadence of the Fallen series that tells the tale of how Draven received his deepest scars. The ones that always remain, alive and bleeding beneath his skin. It should be read after A Requiem for Fallen Stars.

How does one articulate a cohesive feminism when feminists themselves insist on decentering women?

In Trans/Rad/Fem, radical transfeminist Talia Bhatt attempted to provide a thorough, materialist framework for understanding the oppression of trans women particularly and all queer people generally as an indelible component of patriarchal misogyny. A key facet of that oppression is epistemicide, the totalizing erasure of knowledge, language, and history in order to prevent the marginalized from so much as being able to conceptualize, let alone articulate, the terms of their oppression.

Transmisogyny is far from the only force that is animated by epistemic injustice, however. Few cultures illustrate the truth of that assertion better than the land of Bhatt's birth, a nation dogged by internal contradictions and fractious violence along the lines of caste, class, religion, nationality, and more, before even considering the matter of sex.

In this text, Bhatt attempts to reckon with the questions that many feminists, of all identities and backgrounds, have long struggled to grapple with: Can feminism advocate for the plight of women without inevitable reinforcing the very category it seeks to interrogate? In a global hegemony with so many intersecting axes of dehumanization and marginalization, is feminism capable of advocating for the most vulnerable among us without rendering itself reactionary and absolute? Without holding the experiences of the most privileged above those of the least?

The answer, she hopes, is "yes".

El acarreo de negros traídos como esclavos desde África, al continente americano, constituyó un acto sistemático de barbarie y es uno de los genocidios más grandes en la historia de la humanidad.
Al llegar a San Salvador de Bahía, los negros eran muchas veces castigados y azotados en un poste, al que se le dio el nombre de "Pelourinho".
Allí, algunos morían, otros simplemente eran marcados para siempre.
Los pelourinhos se multiplicaron como la esclavitud por todas las latitudes de Brasil.
Este libro de Marcelo Fabián Monges es un homenaje a la memoria de las víctimas y a la resistencia de un pueblo que supo mutar el dolor en alegría, la sangre propia en insignia, la injusticia en conciencia para toda la humanidad.

For millennia, religious rituals helped people process grief, fear, and change by turning inner experience into physical action and spoken words. They help humans make sense of what cannot be easily named. When people step away from religion or start being unsure of what they believe, they can lose access to this accumulated human knowledge. This book reclaims the beautiful and helpful parts of religious ritual. It preserves the psychological power while leaving thoughts about the divine open, inviting readers to bring whatever they believe, or don't believe, into practices designed for healing and integration.
