Archaeological Excavations at Irmis Rka: An Investigation of a Multi-Layered Settlement in Southwest Georgia
This volume presents the results of the 2020 season excavations conducted by the Georgian National Museum at the multi-layered settlement of Irmis Rka, located in the Samtskhe-Javakheti province in southwest Georgia. Excavations on the site have confirmed the presence of pits and domestic architecture from the Early Bronze Age Kura-Araxes Culture, as well as deposits of the subsequent Bedeni Culture, along with abundant related materials. The site reveals signs of occupation during the Late Bronze-Early Iron Age, with evidence of fortification and various artefacts. Additionally, medieval activities have been documented. The site demonstrates the full evolution of the Kura-Araxes tradition, offering perspectives to illustrate its gradual changes and development. One of the site's most significant aspects is the presence of the Bedeni culture, marking its first appearance in this area. While excavations at Irmis Rka are ongoing, the results presented here contribute new data to a wide range of discussions.

In the searing finale to the iconic Bridge Kingdom series, the battle for Ithicana comes to an epic conclusion-from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of A Fate Inked in Blood.
A fugitive on the run, Ahnna has one goal: return to Ithicana with warning of the greatest threat her homeland has ever faced. But the man who broke her heart is hunting at her heels, and James wants more than justice. He wants revenge.
To prove his loyalty to his family, James ventures into dangerous territory to capture his father's killer. But the longer he follows Ahnna's trail, the more his certainty of her guilt is tested-and the more the passion they once shared reignites.
As war brews, Ahnna and James discover that the real enemy isn't each other. With their loyalties on opposing sides of the battle to come, James and Ahnna must choose where their hearts lie: on the battlefield, or in each other's arms.

Ballot
Object Lessons is a series of short, beautifully designed books about the hidden lives of ordinary things. Ballot examines the psychological, cultural, and political significance of voting in an increasingly anti-voting climate. Armed with her personal experiences as a poll worker, electoral organizer, and activist, Anjali Enjeti unspools a timely narrative about the precarious state of the ballot during one of the most tumultuous political eras in US history, and recounts the astonishing events leading up to the 2024 presidential election. Enjeti lays out the growing challenges for voters in battleground states, where rightwing legislatures have introduced staggering numbers of voter suppression bills and redrawn district lines, all to disenfranchise as many Black and other marginalized voters as possible. As her account of the history and stakes of election integrity shows, the aftershocks of the Capitol insurrection on January 6, 2021 have manifested most egregiously on the four corners of the ballot.

Will they be able to spot the sea turtle hatchlings making a dash for the sea? Or the nurse shark having a snooze in the coral reef? How about the narwhals peeking through ice in the Arctic? Discover that epaulette sharks can "walk", how a rainbow sea slug defends itself against predators, and why honeycomb eels have two sets of jaws!
Porcupines
‘A dazzling mother-daughter story’ Jenny Jackson, author of Pineapple Street'Funny, acerbic, and wonderfully playful: a novel to sink into' NAOMI WOOD, author of Mrs. Hemingway'Destined to become an instant classic. Richly drawn characters in an immigrant journey as old as America herself' ADRIANA TRIGIANI, author of The View From Lake ComoLos Angeles, 2001. Sonia is raising her daughter, Mila, alone in the sunny but somnolent suburbs of LA. Her days are a blur of not-quite-illegal business activities, avoiding other moms, and baking birthday cakes laced with rum: minor mistakes that nevertheless remind her she doesn’t belong. Mila, meanwhile, is juggling violin and swimming lessons and navigating the treacherous social politics of school – all the while trying to get her mother to share something, anything, about her past. But there are just too many things that Mila doesn’t know:She doesn’t know that her mother grew up in Soviet Hungary (where getting your hands on a banana was one of the greatest thrills in life)She doesn’t know that her mother has a sister called Rina (whom she hasn’t spoken to in 10 years)The only thing she does know about her father is that he was a ‘good time’ (according to her mother)Crucially, she doesn’t know that there is a very good reason why her mother dodges everyone, from traffic cops to vice principals. So, Mila concocts a scheme to get her mother, and the man Mila is kind of sure must be her father to reconnect. It involves corralling Sonia into chaperoning an orchestra of ten-year-olds (most of whom seem to be called Megan) on a road trip from LA to San Francisco, and it may just cause their carefully constructed lives to implode. Moving between Budapest before the fall of the Berlin Wall, Washington, DC in the tense years of the Cold War and the bright sunshine of early 2000s Los Angeles, Porcupines is an irresistible novel about mothers and daughters, belonging and reinvention, the things we carry with us, and those we tell ourselves we’ve left behind.
Into the Badlands
In the summer of 1989 John Williams embarked on an epic journey through a deeply troubled USA. A right-wing Republican administration seemed bent on rolling back the advances of the civil rights era; the Supreme Court were partially reversing the Roe vs Wade ruling on abortion; criminals from the Central Park rapist to the serial killers Ted Bundy and John Wayne Gacey were all over the news. Who did Williams turn to make sense of all this? America's crime writers - that's who. He talked to novelists like James Ellroy and Elmore Leonard, Sara Paretsky and James Lee Burke, and visited the places they write about, like Los Angeles and Detroit, Chicago and New Orleans. The result was an instant cult classic that remains deeply relevant today: both an incisive and funny travelogue and a revealing guide to the lives and works of America's finest crime writers, caught at their peak.
The Prince and The Art of War (Signature Editions)
Machiavelli's classic works of political philosophy, now freshly repackaged for the Union Square & Co. Signature Editions line. Niccolo Machiavelli's 16th-century political treatise has been controversial and influential for centuries. Written as a guide for new princes and royals, Machiavelli provides a candid and unflinching assessment of the realities of power and politics. The Prince is often considered one of the first works of modern political philosophy. This edition also includes Machiavelli's The Art of War, a treatise on the organization of the military and the practical applications of warfare.
The Great British River
From sparkling springs and babbling brooks to urban canals and muddy estuaries, discover the fascinating journey of our rivers and the wildlife that calls them home. Our rivers are home to some of Britain's most iconic species, including brown trout, mayfly, kingfisher and otter, and for centuries they have provided us with a place to explore and relax. Not only do they provide a habitat for wildlife, they're also a crucial resource for drinking water, farming and transportation. However, a combination of relentless pollution, failing water management and climate change have had a devastating effect. There are currently no rivers in the UK with a ‘good’ ecological status, threatening the species that depend on them to survive. In The Great British River, freshwater specialist Jack Perks explores the fundamentals of our rivers: the habitats they supply, how they transform on the journey from source to estuary, and why certain species are suited to them. Discover ways to enjoy your local waterways and wildlife, as well as what can be done to help protect them. Beautifully illustrated with colour photography of some of our most vital rivers and the species that live in and around them, this accessible book is a celebration of the British river, and a call to action to conserve this precious habitat.

Around the house swirl the forces of revolution and change. Civil unrest is making itself felt, stirring up inner conflicts as powerful as those dividing the community, pitting the past against the present, nationalism against love, a small place against the troubles of a big world.
