A Song in the Dark
No one is safe in Blackridge. Not even the ghosts. Every summer for the past twenty years, a kid from Blackridge has disappeared, snatched away and never seen again. It’s not the ideal town to relocate to, but after a tragic accident kills Jo’s best friend, her mom drags Jo and her siblings to the small, haunted town to start fresh. They move into an old house, and quickly, Jo learns they are not alone. Flickering lights. Radio stations that inexplicably change. A cold, faint breath across her ear . . . Then she meets Finn. Finn is mysterious and sweet, and he shares Jo’s passion for music and songwriting. There's just one problem -- he's a ghost. And he’s not the only one in the house. There are two others, and more that came before them. As Jo and Finn grow closer, Jo believes that he and the other spirits are connected to the missing kids whose disappearances have devastated Blackridge. Desperate to hold on to the one bright spot in her dark world, she must unravel the mystery of what happened to them all before she loses Finn forever.
Secure
What's the secret to finding success, happiness and love? You need to feel SECURE.
How do you become more connected to the people around you, without the fear of being hurt? How can you stop overthinking and letting your emotions impair your judgement? Is it possible to learn emotional resilience?
People with a secure attachment style are the most comfortable not just in their relationships, but also in their own skin. Living life in 'secure mode' enables them to cope more effectively with challenges across many areas of life - they're healthier, less reactive, less driven by insecurity, and better able to navigate setbacks and even social media. It is as though they move through the world with a kind of resilient bubble around them.
But new research reveals that your attachment style isn't fixed. Anyone can become SECURE.
In Secure, Dr Amir Levine - multimillion-copy-bestselling author of Attached, and the world's leading expert on the clinical application of attachment science - introduces a transformative framework feeling more secure in your career, your friendships, your romantic life and beyond.
Along the way, he makes a simple, revolutionary argument: when you harness the power of secure mode, you can create the life you want.
It's never too late to become SECURE. This book will show you how.
The Gospel of John
The contentious life and times of the most widely cited book of the New TestamentWritten some two thousand years ago, the Gospel of John is the only Christian Gospel to place Jesus at the creation of the world, and the only one where we find the stories of the raising of Lazarus, the woman taken in adultery, and the changing of water into wine at the wedding in Cana. The Gospel of John also points an accusing finger at Jesus’s Jewish opponents and has been used by medieval crusaders, Protestant reformers, and white supremacists to legitimize antisemitic violence. Kim Haines-Eitzen traces the legacy of this complex, beautiful, and at times deeply troubling work, from its composition in the late first century to its enduring power today. Haines-Eitzen sheds light on the book’s reception by early Christian gnostic and patristic commentators, its use in the Crusades and Reformation, its revered status among American evangelicals, and the many ways it has inspired novels, films, music, and art. The earliest papyrus fragment of an identifiably Christian Gospel is a fragment of John, and John is the only canonical Gospel that depicts Jesus as a savior who teaches openly about his divinity. Haines-Eitzen shows how John simultaneously carries a message of inclusion and intolerance, and how its story teaches us about the nature and enormous influence of scriptural religions. Compelling and provocative, The Gospel of John reveals how this dynamic, malleable biblical work has both unified and divided Christians over centuries of translation, interpretation, and creative reimagining.
The Connection Code
A guide for women to stop seeking outside validation and turn inward—because the connection they’ve been searching for has been inside them all along. Many of us women feel disconnected from ourselves, our purpose, our passions, and from a deep sense of belonging that we crave. The Connection Code is here to change that for every woman in every stage of life who has ever felt stuck in self-doubt, sick of people-pleasing, and listless just going through the motions of the day, checking off her never-ending to do list instead of truly living. The Connection Code reveals a powerful new paradigm: Our ego isn’t the enemy, it's just misunderstood. By learning to befriend and partner with the ego instead of power over or fight against it women become empowered from within—unlocking a whole new level of clarity, confidence, and ease accessible at any time—even amidst life’s most chaotic moments. The Connection Code rewrites the rules of self-care, with a focus on alignment in daily life without adding more to your plate. Through personal stories, easy-to-implement tools, and eye-opening insights, its teachings also help you:· Shift from “blending in” to standing in your truth, making it easier to create and hold boundaries. · Learn how to walk away from circles that you have outgrown and allow your true community to find you. · Embrace your ego and true self to create a life of ease, confidence, and joy! The Connection Code is your permission slip to reclaim you. And when you do, you’re not just helping yourself—you empower other women to do the same. This is more than just a book—it's your homecoming.

Selling Pharmaka, Buying Health in Ancient Greece and Rome
In antiquity, selling pharmacological preparations and recipes could mean very big business indeed. The import and trade of exotic pharmacological ingredients, in particular those coming from India, has received some scholarly attention but the process whereby these ingredients were combined into desirable concoctions, advertised and sold has been more neglected. This monograph attempts to bridge the gap between ancient medical and socio-economic history, addressing an academic audience of both social and economic historians as well as historians of medicine and technology. It examines material from the fifth century BCE (the date of the first medical treatises included in the Hippocratic Corpus) to the seventh century (the century in which Paul of Aegina, the last of the early Byzantine medical authors, composed his work) with a particular focus on the period from the first century BCE to the third century CE.
Ain't Nobody, Nobody
Still reeling from the scandal that cost him his badge, Randy Mayhill – fallen lawman, dog rescuer, Dr Pepper enthusiast – sees a return from community exile in the form of a dead hog trapper perched on a fence. The fence belongs to the late Van Woods, Mayhill’s best friend and the reason for his spectacular fall. Determined toprotect Van’s land and family from another scandal, Mayhill ignores the sherriff who replaced him and investigates the death of the unidentified man. His quest crosses with two others: Birdie, Van’s surly, mourning daughter, who has no intention of sitting idly by and leaving her father’s legacy in Mayhill’s hands; and Bradley, Birdie’sslow, malnourished but loyal friend, whose desperation to escape a life of poverty has him working with local criminals, and possibly a murderer. A riveting debut novel about family and loyalty, old grudges and new lives, Ain't Nobody Nobody is a cross between Faulkner and Breaking Bad, from a talented new writer with anauthentic Texas voice.
Mr. Chow's Night Market
Mr. Chow lives for the night, when the moon is a wok full of simmering oil. Too bad he owns a supermarket and has to wake up very, very early. Mr. Chow hates mornings and so does his store: The shopping carts are sluggish, the front door yawns, and the pomelos roll down the aisle in a sleepy daze. When disaster strikes, Mr. Chow seeks advice from other workers and the similarly buoyant, anthropromophic buildings they work in. And soon, he discovers that his store doesn't have to be a morning market... it can be a night market!

See You on the Other Side
'Shows McInerney at his best' SPECTATOR'Our modern-day Fitzgerald' VANITY FAIR'One of the most gifted writers of his generation' OBSERVERThe eagerly anticipated final volume of Jay McInerney’s stunningly accomplished and profoundly affecting fictional tetralogy: Brightness Falls, The Good Life, Bright Precious Days, and now See You on the Other SideIt's early 2020 in New York, and the looming threat of a global pandemic begins to unsettle the gilded lives of Manhattan’s literary and social elite. Now in their sixties, Russell and Corrine Calloway are navigating a new chapter: downsizing from their Harlem brownstone to a penthouse in the Village, grieving the death of Corrine’s mother, and all the while facing the encroaching anxieties of aging, memory, and cultural obsolescence. Their daughter, Storey, prepares to launch her dream restaurant in Brooklyn just as fear begins to empty dining rooms and the city starts to shut down. Meanwhile, as the world tilts towards crisis, Russell is pulled between domestic stability and the temptation of an affair with a younger writer – an emotional turmoil which reignites complicated questions about fidelity and the alternate paths their lives might have taken. Told with McInerney’s signature wit and elegiac prose, See You on the Other Side is a dazzling finale to the bestselling Calloway series, capturing the disorientation of a couple forced to confront their own mortality amidst shifting cultural tides and the slow unravelling of the world they once knew.
The Little Book of Unicorns
This elusive creature was originally thought to inhabit the edge of the known world. Biblical and classical material, travellers' tales, clerical writings and theological speculation influenced the perceived appearance of this noble beast, but the graceful white horse with a single long horn remains is most recognizable embodiment. The medieval unicorn became a potent symbol of religious and secular love which has continued to inspire poets, writers and artists. As belief in the unicorn's reality waned, a renewed interest in the medieval past provided a context for it to flourish once again as a subject for art, literature and mystical meditation. Nineteenth- and twentieth-century medievalism infused pictorial and poetic unicorn imagery with an aura of romantic nostalgia that paved the way for its dramatic revival: it gained wings and took flight within the genre of fantasy literature. More recently unicorns have inspired a variety of contemporary trends, from merchandising to financial rhetoric, and the 'animal that never was' shows no sign of disappearing.
Disrupting White Noise
A bold and timely reexamination of how white students understand and engage with race on college campuses In Disrupting White Noise, Zak Foste and Lauren N. Irwin challenge the prevailing belief that white students come to college as "empty vessels," revealing how these students are already deeply shaped by their pre-college environments—bringing powerful attitudes and beliefs about race that can impede efforts toward inclusion. Drawing from years of interviews and research at a variety of institutions, Foste and Irwin demonstrate how campus environments often reinforce white racial comfort, reproduce segregation, and limit effective cross-racial engagement. Vivid narratives highlight how institutional policies, leadership programs, and daily campus life can inadvertently maintain barriers for students of color—while failing to address the real foundations of white students' understanding of race. The book goes beyond critique, offering actionable recommendations and concrete strategies that campus leaders can implement to disrupt harmful patterns and foster authentic learning. With clarity, urgency, and insight, this work equips higher education professionals to critically examine their own practices and to intentionally create more just, equitable environments. Essential reading for anyone who works with college students, this book provides the knowledge and tools to move beyond surface-level solutions towards genuine, lasting change.

What Emma Wrote
STARRED REVIEW "A measured, resonant biography that frames writing as civic engagement." —School Library Journal"An eye-opening look at a writer who spoke truth to power." —Kirkus Reviews"History made to feel immediate." —Judith MagazineWith its poetic message of welcome, the Statue of Liberty holds an important and beloved place in American history. In time for anniversary of our nation's founding, this biography of the woman who wrote the now-famous poem on its pedestal has deep relevance for readers today. Emma loved stories, loved writing poetry, and was curious about the world. When she met poor immigrants arriving in New York City, she knew she had to help. And when she was asked to write a poem about the Statue of Liberty, she imagined Lady Liberty as a mother, welcoming her children home. Her famous poem, “The New Colossus,” is still there on the statue’s pedestal, sharing its message of welcome with the world.
