Leaves of Grass
Walt Whitman's Leaves of Grass is a clarion call to his country's people to join together in the "crowning growth of the United States". Its patriotic zeal made him a symbol of democracy in his country long before he achieved fame there as a poet.The intense emotion of Whitman's verse celebrates the regenerative power of nature and the immortal divinity of the human soul. His passionate beliefs are evident throughout this volume - in the radical "I Sing the Body Electric"; the patriotic "I Hear America Singing"; and the romantic "As if a Phantom Caress'd Me".This collection (the so-called "deathbed" edition of 1892) represents the culmination of Whitman's life's work and contains more than 400 poems.

Modern French Marxism
Marxism was a powerful force in French political and intellectual life throughout the twentieth century. Modern French Marxism tells the story of how it dominated the battle of ideas. Michael Kelly takes readers from Marxism’s early beginnings to its peak in the 1970s. He follows conceptual debates on the materialist dialectic, explores Marxism as a system of thought, and conveys the ambition of the men and women of letters who sought to change the world. This second edition is augmented with essays on how Marxist thinkers grappled with religion, everyday life, the Cold War, and other leading intellectual movements.
The Capital / Logic Debate
The Capital / Logic Debate is the first of two volumes on how Marx used Hegel's Logic in his Capital. Andy Blunden reviews the current literature on the topic with detailed analysis of the contribution of ten authors, representing the spectrum of approaches. Finding that present-day writers fail to understand the Logic and misrepresent Capital as a work of Logic, Blunden focuses on the passage in the Logic entitled "The Idea of the True," which is ignored by every writer in the present-day debate.
Holtak vallatója
Dr. Richard Shepherd, a nagyszerű igazságügyi patológus több mint 23000 boncolást végzett. A maga módján detektív, furcsa, gyakran megmagyarázhatatlannak látszó halálesetek rejtélyeit kell megoldania…
Az igazságot kutatva sorozatgyilkosokat buktatott le, természeti katasztrófák következményeit vizsgálta, „tökéletes gyilkosságokról” rántotta le a leplet, szokatlan vagy valószínűtlen balesetek körülményeit derítette fel. Az általa szolgáltatott bizonyítékok gyilkosokat juttattak rács mögé, ártatlanok szabadságát adták vissza, kézenfekvőnek tűnő megoldási kísérleteket döntöttek romba. Tette mindezt nem kis személyes áldozatok árán.
A Holtak vallatója nem pusztán a számára legtöbb vívódást okozó holttestekről és esetekről szóló beszámolók gyűjteménye; azt is bemutatja, milyen egy élet, amelynek minden pillanatában jelen van a halál.

Gyilkos indulat
A nyár őrült erővel tombol Painters Millben. A meleg elől a cserjésbe menekülő amish gyerekek borzalmas felfedezést tesznek, ami egy csapásra véget vet a kisváros nyugalmának. Kate Burkholder rendőrfőnök a helyszínre érve a huszonegy éves Samuel Yutzy feldarabolt holttestére bukkan. A tapasztalt rendőrfőnököt is elborzasztják a látottak, vajon milyen eltorzult elme választott ilyen szadista módszert a gyilkossághoz? A nyomozás alig kezdődik el, amikor néhány kilométerre az első helyszíntől egy szakadékból egy hordóba gyömöszölt második holttest is előkerül. Az elhunyt Samuel Yutzy legjobb barátja. Kezdettől fogva világosnak tűnik, hogy a két haláleset között kapcsolat áll fenn, Kate mégsem tud rájönni a megoldásra, az amish közösség néma marad. Egy titokzatos nő felbukkanása ad új lendületet a nyomozásnak: szerinte a két amish fiatal olyan személyekkel került kapcsolatba, akik sötét dolgokkal üzletelnek. Az ügy megoldásához Kate-nek le kell merülnie a közösség legmocskosabb bugyraiba. Amikor pedig túl közel kerül az igazsághoz, a gyilkosok magát Kate-et veszik célba. Ohióban halálbüntetés jár a rendőrgyilkosságért - de visszatartaná ez bármelyik bűnözőt?
Third Camp Socialism
Third Camp Socialism collects Phyllis and Julius Jacobson’s major writings on civil rights, Stalinism, the Cold War, and the New York Intellectuals. The Jacobsons advanced a militant, small-d democratic perspective on the landmark events of their era, from the New Deal and World War II to sixties protests and the War on Terror. Today, they are best remembered for founding New Politics and defending a third camp perspective that resists capitalism as well as all varieties of “progressive” authoritarianism. This volume makes a powerful case for revisiting the Jacobsons’ contributions to socialist thought.
The Museum of Second Chances
From bestselling author Jo Leevers comes a heartfelt story of lost things and second chances. Every morning, Evelyn Silver walks the shoreline before the rest of Portheast wakes, gathering what the tide leaves behind. Broken cups. Lost trinkets. Objects others have discarded. In her small Museum of Maritime Curiosities, each one earns its place—because to Evelyn, every forgotten thing deserves to have its story told. At the heart of the museum lies her most precious possession: a fragment of Cornish lace, found pinned to her blanket when she was abandoned as a newborn. For over sixty years, she has kept it close, hoping someone might one day recognise it and tell her who she really is. So when the local council threatens to close the museum, Evelyn stands to lose far more than her livelihood. Forced out of her solitude, she rallies the community around the museum's curious collection—and as the objects begin to give up their secrets, lives start to intertwine in ways nobody expected. Because sometimes, the most precious things aren't lost at all. They're simply waiting to be claimed. >© 2026 Jo Leevers, all rights reserved.
