Sold outGuinea Pigs Don't Wear Pants
Guinea Pigs Don't Wear Pants is a whimsically joyful and empowering children's book that celebrates individuality across the rainbow-hued spectrum. With playful rhymes and exuberant illustrations, author-illustrator Chris Paul (Rainbows) Farias celebrates the freedom to express yourself and the beauty of being exactly who you are.
Readers are invited to imagine a world where animals are hilariously limited in what they can do while humans are gloriously free to saunter, flaunt, and wear just what you want. From lipsticked llamas to tumbling giraffes, each page bursts with colorful chaos and loving affirmation.
At its heart, this is the book Chris wished they'd had as a kid growing up in a small town--one that gently opens the door to conversations about self-expression, gender, and being true to yourself.

Ligaments: Appreciating the Bands That Bind Us
A lively tour through the biology, health, human performance, and popular culture of our bodies' essential connective tissue.
Ligaments are the quiet workhorses of the human body. They anchor our bones, guide our movements, and protect our joints--yet they remain largely unseen and misunderstood. In Ligaments: Appreciating the Bands that Bind Us, orthopedic surgeon and acclaimed science writer Roy A. Meals explores anatomy, biology, history, health, human performance, and popular culture to unlock the mysteries of ligaments. Completing a trilogy that began with Bones and Muscle, this richly illustrated volume offers a wide-ranging exploration of the anatomy, history, injuries, and cultural relevance of ligaments.
These bone-to-bone connectors are the critical linking mechanisms that allow our muscles to produce purposeful movement. Dr. Meals explains how ligaments stabilize the skeleton like hinge pins on a door, resist the forces of gravity in the face and breasts, and contribute to feats of athleticism, contortion, and childbirth. Readers will learn how ligaments are stronger than steel, how they recover from injury (or fail to), and how they can be stretched, stiffened, or surgically replaced. He also clarifies the differences among ligaments, tendons, and fascia, and why some people are "double-jointed" and others are not. Covering current and emerging treatments for ligament injuries, including artificial and engineered ligaments, the book provides practical insights into maintaining joint stability and flexibility across the lifetime.
Whether examining career-ending sports injuries, congenital laxity, or the elasticity of the vocal cords, Dr. Meals builds a case for why ligaments deserve center stage in our understanding of movement and health.

Table Where We Meet: Lessons Learned from Dinner with 1000 Strangers
We all want to be known. Most of us just don't know how to begin.
When Jess Janz found herself craving deeper conversations--but trapped in a world of small talk--she took a leap. What started as a casual idea in a hair salon soon became Dinner With Strangers: a growing movement where guests gather around a table, introduce themselves without ever mentioning work, and share who they are beyond the job title. No scripts, no expectations--just curiosity, courage, and a seat at the table.
In The Table Where We Meet, Jess reflects on what she's learned from hosting dinners with more than a thousand strangers across North America. With essays that are both tender and practical, she explores what it means to belong, how to ask better questions, and why connection requires us to risk being truly seen. Alongside her insights are unforgettable stories--funny, heartbreaking, deeply human--that reveal how much we all have in common when we finally let our guard down.
This is a book for anyone who's ever felt alone in a crowd, tired of surface-level chatter, or unsure how to bridge the gap between isolation and intimacy. The Table Where We Meet is a guide, a memoir, and a quiet revolution--one dinner at a time.

Mobile Suit Gundam: The Origin Deluxe 5
The classic Gundam series now in a premium Deluxe Edition hardcover! PRAISE FOR THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING SERIES "It's a good book. Very good, actually. Very good war comics, requiring no prior experience with anime or mecha or Gundam--just a well-made, old-fashioned war comic, full of thrills and spills and lucky breaks and narrow escapes and preening villains you'll love to hate and pigheaded heroes you may hate to love, and expert drawings by a master craftsman, and hard, sturdy violence." --Joe McCulloch, The Comics Journal "One of the best drawn and told manga works of recent memory... If you want to understand the fuss around the original Gundam, or even read one of the better manga works out there, then Gundam: The Origin is definitely worth checking out." --Ollie Barder, Forbes "WINNER: BEST MANGA [2013] This manga was penned by Yoshikazu Yasuhiko--and who better to handle the transformation of the show from screen to page than the man who had key roles in the original series, from character design, to illustration, to layout?" --NEO Magazine (U.K.) "Yasuhiko's work is just really strong throughout. Fights between mobile suits are exciting, and manage to stay clear despite an impressive amount of detail... These releases deserve as much love as was put into them."--Joseph Luster, Otaku USA "While it goes without saying that Gundam fans should enjoy these books, they are also a good read for those who simply like a science fiction or a war story that is well-written, nicely illustrated, and full of interesting characters... [S]eriously good literary entertainment." --Anime News Network "No real knowledge or understanding of the original MSG is needed... What follows are hundreds of pages of suspenseful war drama and sci-fi explosiveness, all of which is well and good (seriously good, actually; this is an intensely fun sci-fi epic), but it's the visuals that you are truly getting this book for." --Graphic Novel Reporter "A compelling coming-of-age story. It spins personal and political drama together in a way that is both engaging and satisfying... This is a series you will want to put into a teen's hands, even if they don't know it yet. Once they start reading, they won't want to put it down." --School Library Journal Blog Network The storied Gundam franchise's "First Season" that set new standards of verisimilitude for televised sci-fi animation returns in comics form at the hand of one of the initial creators! The definitive account expands on the classic narrative with the same sense of purpose that lit up the screen more than four decades ago. This new edition collects the original bestselling twelve-installment English release into six oversized volumes. All of the many color pages--unusually numerous for Japanese comics--have been retained...only at a larger size. The master's artwork has never looked so grand!

Future of Free Speech: Reversing the Global Decline of Democracy's Most Essential Freedom
An incisive examination of free speech's global decline and a framework for preserving expression in democratic societies.
The Future of Free Speech confronts a stark truth: the right to speak freely is under siege. Once celebrated as a cornerstone of democratic societies, free expression is now met with growing suspicion and retaliation across the globe. Jacob Mchangama and Jeff Kosseff present a panoramic view of how we arrived at this pivotal moment.
The authors examine a century in which speech rights expanded dramatically--including postwar democratic revolutions and the sweeping protections of the First Amendment--only to find those rights unraveling in the face of new political, technological, and cultural pressures. Today, liberal democracies are imposing speech controls, authoritarian regimes are cloaking censorship in democratic language, and digital platforms wield unprecedented power over global discourse. This book examines the backlash against free speech from all sides: governments criminalizing dissent in the name of national security; lawmakers and activists demanding tighter controls on misinformation, hate speech, and offensive content; and AI systems removing speech at a scale and speed that dwarfs historical forms of censorship. At the same time, faith in free speech itself is waning, even in the very societies that once championed it.
The Future of Free Speech argues for a reinvigorated, global commitment to open dialogue. Mchangama and Kosseff advocate nonpartisan, civic-minded solutions that resist both government overreach and corporate silencing. They offer a compelling case for how free speech can meet modern challenges without abandoning its foundational role in sustaining democracy, human rights, and shared understanding.

Wasting Time Constructively: A Guide to a Balanced Life
Memoirs can tell all or tell nothing. And while some memoirs recite successes, honest memoirs often chronicle setbacks, frustrations, and failures. For Peter J.
