Precious Treasury of the Dharmadhatu: Khangsar Tenpai Wangchuks Collected Works
The third volume of the Collected Works of the modern Tibetan master Khangsar Tenpa'i Wangchuk, this is the first published translation of a commentary on the 14th-century master Longchenpa's Precious Treasury of the Dharmadhātu, a verse text on the direct practices to realize the nature of mind taught within the Nyingma school of Tibetan Buddhism. Among the great works of the omniscient Longchenpa, The Treasury of the Dharmadhātu, one of Longchenpa's (1308-1363) Seven Treasuries is particularly revered among Tibetan poetic and scholastic works on Dzogchen meditation. The text expounds the intrinsic nature of the mind--awareness, the vast expanse of the dharmadhātu--as the basis and medium of the endless and unlimited display of phenomenal existence, of both mundane samsara and exalted nirvana. The teachers are laid out according to the approach of trekchö, the practice that "cuts through" the tough deposit of conceptual fabrication and habitual tendencies, accumulated from beginningless time, which obscures the original, unimpaired, and ever-present purity of the mind's nature, the sugatagarbha. Khangsar Tenpa'i Wangchuk's modern commentary brings to life the fine points of the text as a meditation manual. Completed in 1996, it is the first extensive and detailed commentary ever to be produced on Longchenpa's root text, with the exception of the author's own autocommentary. In contrast with the general "meaning commentary" composed by Longchenpa himself, which explains the sense of the root text in broad strokes, supporting it with many scriptural citations, Tenpa'i Wangchuk's is a "word-commentary" in which both the words and syntax of the root text are elucidated, thereby giving clear guidance and insight into the intentions of the author. Both root text and commentary are said to reflect the realizations of the lineage holders of the tradition and present a clear picture of the perfection of the Buddhist path. -

Trace Elements: Conversations on the Project of Science Fiction and Fantasy
From two of the most acclaimed writers in the field today, a groundbreaking look at how SF and fantasy writing--and reading--work!
Jo Walton and Ada Palmer are two of the most innovative and insightful writers to emerge in the SF and fantasy genres in this century. As writers of fiction they've each won multiple awards. As commenters on SF and fantasy in print and in visual media, they've both sparked new conversations that expanded our imaginations and understanding of how SF and fantasy work, and what more it could be doing. Now, in Trace Elements, Walton and Palmer have come together to write a book-length and supremely entertaining look at modern science fiction and fantasy, at how our genre is written and how it is read, that will join nonfiction works like Ursula K. Le Guin's The Language of the Night, Samuel R. Delany's The Jewel-Hinged Jaw, and Understanding Comics by Scott McCloud on the short shelf of titles essential to all readers of our genre. Subjects covered include the nature of genre itself, the history of SF publishing, the implicit contract between author and reader, the ways SF and fantasy disguise themselves as one another, what SF&F can learn from outside influences ranging from Shakespeare to Diderot to anime, the role of complicity in reading, the need to expand our "sphere of empathy", and finally the need for optimism, the importance of rejecting "purity" culture, and the fact that the human story for centuries to come will be composed of of hard work. -

A search & rescue expert. A kidnapped woman. The lost girls who haunt them both.
"A superb mystery. . . Readers will be thinking about this long after they turn the last page." --Publishers Weekly (starred review) There is a girl in a basement.
"A haunting, dual-narrative thriller that traps you in the dark." --The Seattle Times
The door has stopped opening.
The light is gone. Stranger is trapped in the dark, with only her imagination and the scribbles on the wall left by long-dead girls to keep her company. Nearly out of food and water, she makes one last attempt to escape. But if the door opens at last, will it mean salvation, or only the beginning of her fight to survive?

Spit: A Life in Battles
"I have watched every Dumbfoundead battle so many times that I have most of the insults memorized."
--Jay Caspian Kang, The New Yorker"Jonnie 'Dumbfoundead' Park's story is the definition of winning life on hard mode: Start as an undocumented Korean immigrant from Argentina and become a once-in-a-generation battle rapper and artist in Los Angeles."
--Ronny Chieng, ComedianSPIT is the raw and electrifying memoir of Jonnie Park--better known by his rap moniker, Dumbfoundead--whose rise from an unruly childhood in Los Angeles's iconic Koreatown to international rap stardom is as unlikely as it is exhilarating.
Born in Argentina to Korean parents and smuggled by a coyote across the US-Mexico border at age three, Park grew up in L.A. amid cultural dislocation, his father's violent alcoholism, and the turbulent protests and riots of the early 1990s.
Searching for belonging, he found salvation in the highly competitive underground world of battle rap, where he was among the only successful Asian American battle rappers. He honed his freestyle superpowers at Project Blowed, the legendary South Central L.A. open-mic venue, amid a motley crew of characters who took him in as one of their own.
Told through the lens of his life's greatest battles--his father's rage, racist stereotypes, the "model minority" myth, the pressures of fame, and his own addictions--Park tells his story with his trademark humor, lyrical style, and unflinching honesty.
Like Eminem's 8 Mile, SPIT charts the author's course from high-school dropout to cultural pioneer, one verse at a time. Featuring a dozen vivid graphic novel-style illustrations that bring his journey to life, SPIT visualizes the inner demons and outer adversaries Park faced along the way. From open-mics in South Central to freestyle cyphers in Seoul to music festivals across the globe, Park's memoir is a testament to creativity, grit, and the power of speaking your truth--even when the world isn't ready to hear it.
More than just a chronicle of an artist's path to success, SPIT is a groundbreaking story of identity, resilience, and reinvention. It is also the story of an American outsider who turned life's challenges into his stage and battled his way to triumph.
