Teaching Toward Slow Hope
Reimagining college as a space for connection, meaning, and collective resilience. Teaching Toward Slow Hope reveals what happens when higher education dares to become something more than transactional. Rather than positioning education as a financial investment, this book reimagines college as a space where students cultivate the skills and relationships needed for "collaborative survival" in an increasingly unpredictable world. Against a backdrop of mental health crises, ecological instability, and structural inequality, Douglas Haynes traces how students and educators across the Upper Midwest are remaking college into a place for connection, meaning, and collective resilience. Through on-the-ground reporting and interviews with students, Haynes describes the impacts of dynamic, place-based educational programs. He takes readers on a journey from urban gardens in Milwaukee to restored oak savannas in Madison, and from a community food hub in Kalamazoo to the shore of Lake Superior. At the heart of the programs he visits is a shared commitment to what Haynes calls practices of slow hope: deep listening, reciprocity, collaboration, and embodied learning. Haynes evokes the experiences of students harvesting native seeds, cooking with local produce, gathering community histories, and learning to see their landscapes anew. Many of these students are first-generation or struggling with anxiety or affording college. From their experiences emerges a deeply human story of transformation based in place, community, and care. Teaching Toward Slow Hope offers educators, administrators, and anyone invested in the future of higher education a powerful new lens for thinking about what college is really for.

Storm Breaker
ENDURE THE STORM. EARN YOUR PLACE. FULFIL YOUR DESTINY.
For nineteen-year-old Poet Graves, New Manhattan has always promised safety from the deadly electrical storms that ravage the world - but only if she plays her part.
Raised within the ruling Houses and betrothed to a powerful heir, she arrives at the prestigious Amery Academy knowing her future has already been decided: pass the trials, join the Society, and secure her place among the elite. Fail, and she will be cast out beyond the city's protection.
But Amery is nothing like she imagined. Its trials are brutal, its loyalties conditional, and its rules designed to expose weakness. As Poet struggles to survive, she must hide the truth that could get her executed: the storms don't fear her - they answer back.
Defying her father's expectations, Poet dreams of becoming a Storm Breaker, someone trained to face the very forces others fear. But ambition can be deadly in a world where power is tightly held, and rebellion comes at a cost.
When a dangerous outsider from beyond the city walls enters the academy, Poet is drawn to him despite everything she's been taught to believe. He threatens the life she's been promised.
And choosing him could cost her not just her future, but her freedom.
Deaths Daughter
Jocasta has carved out a normal life at Beecher University - well, as normal it can be when your name is Jocasta and you are the only child of Death.
Jo has a good job, great friends, and is trying to get over a secret fling with an unbelievably attractive (and unbelievably unavailable) grad student. But she's also lonely.
No one close to her knows the truth about who - or what - she is. Or that she must feed to survive, and she feeds on them - their disappointments, failures, and rejections. It's not a perfect system, but it works. Just.
Until a handsome stranger - and descendant of Lust - shows up on campus and announces that Death has formally named Jo as his successor. Now she's both a powerful ally and a massive threat, and everyone she loves is a target.
But Beecher is the one place that has ever felt like home, and Jo will do anything to protect it. Even if it means becoming the very thing she hates . . .
Árnyak tava
Az apja a város népszerű nyomozója volt… Az anyja pedig a leghírhedtebb bűnözője… Most viszont Mirror Lake titkai lassan a felszínre bukkannak, és mindent megváltoztatnak.
Amikor Hazel Sharp váratlanul megörökli gyerekkori otthonát, kelletlenül ugyan, de visszatér a városba, azok közé az emberek közé, akiket majdnem egy évtizede maga mögött hagyott.
De nem csak Hazel tér vissza a múltból. A tó vízszintje a példátlan aszály miatt egyre csökken, és lassan visszaadja, amit hosszú éveken át elrejtett: elhallgatott történeteket, eltemetett nyomokat – és talán azt az egyetlen igazságot is, amely fényt deríthet Hazel anyjának nyomtalan eltűnésére.

Anna Andrews végre elérte, amire vágyott: a BBC híradósaként sikeres, független és messze jár a múltjától. Élete mégis kártyavárként omlik össze, amikor tudósítania kell egy brutális gyilkosságról Blackdownban. Itt nőtt fel, és tizenhat évesen, egy máig kísértő rémálom elől menekült el. A sokk akkor válik teljessé, amikor megtudja, hogy az áldozat az egyik gyerekkori barátnője.
Jack Harper főfelügyelő Londont hátrahagyva próbált új életet kezdeni Blackdownban, de most a saját nyomozása középpontjában találja magát. Nem elég, hogy az ügyben a volt feleségével, Annával kell viaskodnia, Jack egy sötét titkot is őriz: az áldozat a szeretője volt, ráadásul ő látta utoljára élve a nőt.
Kisvártatva pedig újabb gyilkosság történik. Ahogy a holttestek száma növekedni kezd a ködös angol faluban, Anna és Jack macska-egér játékba kezd egymással és a gyilkossal is. Mindketten gyanúsítottak, mindketten nyomoznak, és mindketten bármire képesek, hogy a saját igazságukat védjék, kerüljön az bármibe.
Ebben a történetben csak egyvalami biztos: valaki hazudik. Vajon ki rántja le hamarabb a leplet a másikról?

When leaked documents spark a local Satanic panic and bring the Society under fire, Rhys is willing to gamble everything, even his immortal soul, for more demonic assistance.

As paranoia and rumors spread like wildfire through the occult community, David and Moira will have to once again join forces to pull Rhys back from the brink. But you can’t save someone who doesn’t want to be saved, and all the magic in the world won’t prevent Rhys from having to make the ultimate choice: will he become a great man, or a good one?

The Making and Breaking of the American Constitution
A provocative new history of America’s constitution and an urgent call to action for a nation confronted by challenges its founders could never have imaginedThe American Revolution occurred at a time when Britain’s constitutional order failed to adapt to the extraordinary growth of its colonies. The framers designed an American constitution to succeed where Britain’s had faltered, planning for continuous population and territorial expansion that would eventually cross the continent. Yet by the end of the nineteenth century, it was already ill-suited for an increasingly urban, industrialized society, and the transformations of the twentieth century have pushed it to a breaking point. This book charts the history and aims of the American constitution from its origins in an agrarian past to the grave crisis we face today. Mark Peterson traces the American constitutional tradition to the control of land in medieval England, showing how the founders incorporated the aspirations of Magna Carta with the administrative principles of the Domesday Book, a meticulous survey and valuation of landed property commissioned by William the Conqueror. This framework encouraged the growth of democratic self-government in a young nation. It also institutionalized the colonization of territory and the expulsion of Indigenous peoples, establishing a legal blueprint for transforming tribal lands into revenue-yielding real estate for settlers. Peterson’s riveting narrative paints an arresting picture of a dynamic republic whose frame of government has changed enormously to meet the challenges of the modern age but whose written constitution has changed very little. Marking the 250th anniversary of American independence, The Making and Breaking of the American Constitution reveals how this widening disconnect threatens the very existence of our democracy. It calls for a constitution that sustains the ideals developed over the past thousand years while meeting the challenges of the future.
