Bastard (WEBTOON) Vol. 4
Jin Seon is a sickly high school boy living in the shadow of a dark secret: His father is a serial killer. To make matters worse, Jin's father forced him to serve as an accomplice to his crimes for years. Now that Jin's trying to break free, his father's malevolence is bearing down on him. His girlfriend Kyun is a target for murder, his friend Manny has been crippled, and his finances have been completely cut off. With no one left to turn to and nowhere left to go, does Jin have no choice but to return home and face whatever evil game his father has planned? And there's a darker question beneath it all--deep down, is he a killer, himself?
Confidence Men
Why do millions of Americans support a system that is making them poorer, sicker, and lesssecure every day? If modern capitalism routinely exploits working people, then why do so manyflock to its most reactionary defenders in personalities like Jordan Peterson, Elon Musk, andAndrew Tate? Or, as the philosopher Baruch Spinoza asked, why do we fight for slavery as if itwere our salvation? Confidence Men: The Duping of the American Mind provides a compellinganswer to those questions. Mere journalistic accounts of these hucksters have pointed out their many lies and inaccuracies,their personal failings and rank hypocrisy. Confidence Men does something different. Instead oftreating these sensational figures as individual bad actors, it identifies a common philosophythat animates them all. Each of them are, in their own ways, irrationalists – believing in thepower of a strong will to overcome ordinary reality (and ordinary people). Objective facts,nature, and even “human nature” melt away before the creative genius or the mystical hero. Today’s “confidence men” are the cheerleaders of hierarchy and domination, where thesupreme value is one of unhinged belief in oneself. As against reactionary forms of self-help,Confidence Men proposes a rationalist alternative – neither wishing our problems away, nor“manifesting” success – but instead, understanding the world so that we can change it for thebetter.

Through the Eyes of Jewish Child Survivors from Poland
Through the Eyes of Jewish Child Survivors from Poland offers an intimate social history of Jewish childhood during and after the Holocaust. Centered on children from German-occupied Poland but informed by experiences across Nazi-occupied Europe, the book highlights the child's own perspective to illuminate rescue, survival, and relationships with adults under the Nazi occupation. In the first part, Joanna Beata Michlic examines children's wartime experiences, showing how agency, gender, class, and religious or social background shaped their chances of survival. The second part traces the complex efforts of these young survivors to reclaim both childhood and Jewish identity, revealing the gap between their hopes and the actual opportunities of the immediate postwar period. Drawing on children's diaries, letters, testimonies, and memoirs, Michlic illuminates how children experienced and remembered trauma: the destruction of their families, the loss of their prewar worlds, and the struggle to adapt to a new reality, challenging myths that sentimentalize the children's endurance and portray the Holocaust as neatly concluded. This powerful study shows why the history of Holocaust child survivors remains a vital resource for understanding vulnerability, agency, and the enduring impact of war and genocide.

Convergence
Includes free streaming access to a corresponding video series. Many Christians and ministry leaders think that much of what Jesus did on earth was because he was God. When we think this, we neglect Scripture where it tells us that Jesus, though always God, deliberately chose to limit his divine attributes and power. Looking at Jesus's life and ministry Thompson asks, "If Jesus chose to limit his divine attributes and power, how did he do all of this?" Here Thompson finds the convergence of three things that should ultimately shape our own lives:Jesus used spiritual disciplines (or practices) to walk with the Father and to develop and learn as we do. Jesus used spiritual gifts (not his inherent power) to carry out his ministry while on earth. Jesus used the promptings he received from the Father and the Spirit to lead his disciples into moments of revival. In Convergence: Spiritual Gifts, Practices, and Unusual Works of the Spirit you will come to realize that Jesus as God come in flesh isn't just our Savior and our Lord; he is also our model for understanding what the normal Christian life should look like. This comprehensive resource aims at understanding the intersection of spiritual gifts (love, word, and power), spiritual disciplines (or practices), and unusual works of the Spirit (revival) in the life of the local church. "Convergence is a powerful book. It beautifully weaves together the gifts and the power of the Spirit and the disciplines of the Spirit in a fresh, holistic, and transformative way. I highly recommend this to you." ––Jon Tyson, Senior Pastor of Church of the City, NY and author of Beautiful Resistance"When I first heard Pastor Jon Thompson, dots began to connect in a powerful way and when we sat together later, he spoke about Jesus not just being our Saviour and Lord, but our Model. Spiritual gifts, spiritual disciplines, spiritual experiences––he gave me handles that I had been looking for. This was the word we all need right now." ––Ann Voskamp, author of four New York Times best-selling books, including The Broken Way

These Spaceships Weren't Built For Us
“Chazaro transforms the ranfla, the hooptie, and the G-ride into a spaceship, a time machine. He points our gaze to the sky and we long to take flight while simultaneously holding onto our roots and what keeps our feet on the ground."—Joseph Rios, Fresno Poet Laureate and author of Shadowboxing: Poems & ImpersonationsIn These Spaceships Weren’t Built For Us, Alan Chazaro launches a speculative, lyrical odyssey through Latinx identity, diaspora, and memory, where the immigrant experience becomes a poetic voyage, rooted in resistance, love, and the enduring pull of home. In his newest poetry collection, These Spaceships Weren’t Built For Us, Alan Chazaro reconsiders the possibilities of space travel as the son of Mexican immigrants while navigating daily life across rapidly shifting social spaces. From barren gas stations in Central California during the height of the pandemic to faraway jungle planets governed by paleteros, Chazaro imagines the present and future in ways that are simultaneously bleak and dire, hopeful and beautiful, and seemingly, impossibly unrealized.
The Firearm Revolution
A groundbreaking account of how firearms changed Europe and the worldIn Renaissance Italy, the gun was not only a tool of war but also a desirable object, a luxury item carried at court. Guns were in use on the battlefield by 1440; later in that century Leonardo da Vinci sketched a design for a faster-firing, more portable handgun that could be hidden beneath a cloak. As the gun proliferated in society, it became both a means of self-defence and a threat to civic order. In The Firearm Revolution, historian Catherine Fletcher explores the emergence of firearms in Renaissance Italy and beyond, describing the social transformations that accompanied the evolution of the handgun from innovative military technology to widely used personal accessory. Fletcher shows that as guns became smaller and the new wheellock mechanism made concealed carry possible, Italian states increasingly tried to control their use—even as they viewed firearms as necessary for their militias. In the end, Fletcher reports, the importance of civic defence trumped the concern for social order. As guns became ever more acceptable, stories of how firearms aided Europeans’ overseas conquests created a new and more positive image for a weapon once considered the devil’s work. Debates over the regulation of firearms five centuries ago—which included arguments over the restriction of gun ownership, the use of guns for self-defence and the regulation of an armed militia—in many ways anticipate discussions about gun control today. Fletcher’s groundbreaking account sheds new light on how governments weighed the competing priorities of defence and social order as they set out to build empires.

The Moment of Cubism
The Moment of Cubism is one of John Berger's most important collections of art criticism. Whether considering Vermeer in his studio, Poussin's poignant meditation on death, or the complexities of Rodin's sculpture, Berger draws together the threads that bind individual artists to their social and political context. Here Berger argues that Cubism was a moment rather than a movement, one that came and went without the consent of its key figures - Picasso and Braque above all.
He makes a case for Cubism's revolutionary influence. As always, Berger helps us see the world in new ways.
