In the wake of Golgotha
"There is no crime to fit this sentence; there is no sentence to fit this crime. Roman Prefect Pontius Pilate's words are echoed by the Judean zealot Judas Iscariot only hours before history takes a bloody turn on a cross atop Golgotha on Calvary Hill. Two thousand years later, these words are found scrawled in blood in a New York City basement under the shadow of three crucified men. Judas, now Jude Issachar, an enigmatic social worker and teacher with an unusual addiction, and Pilate, now Peter Pheiffer, an unsettled attorney of a ravenous law firm, have lived many lifetimes since their original encounter. Jude is aware of his past treachery and is cursed by the fateful lure of the noose and the tree. Peter, however, is damned by a recurring ignorance, a cruel cyclical awakening that is hauntingly dawning on him as he must defend a sociopath's unspeakable crime. Condemned for their role in humanity's most infamous betrayal, a collision of violence and addiction two millennia after their sentences first began brings them together again. The two lost souls must reckon with their tainted pasts--and their damned present--as they seek one last shot at redemption." --

The god test artificial intelligence and our coming cosmic reckoning
"The God Test is the first book to capture the power behind the AI revolution--to clearly explain the breakthroughs that sparked the current wave of advance and compellingly show why this wave will grow in magnitude and meaning. Written by one of our foremost public intellectuals, and informed by his decades of chronicling the digital age, the book argues that we are about to witness the most abruptly dramatic social transformation in the history of our species. Wright says that to truly understand this moment in technological history, we need to expand our perspective beyond the last century or even the whole history of technology and look back across billions of years of life on Earth. The advance of AI, he argues, is driven by evolutionary dynamics like those that led to intelligent life in the first place. And understanding those dynamics can empower us to confront our climactic challenge: Can we muster the political, moral, and even spiritual resources needed to guide this technology wisely? If we fail, the consequences for the whole planet could be grave. But if we meet the challenge--if we pass "the God test"--we can live in a world where humanity thrives, finding not just happiness but deeper meaning and purpose. The very machines that might otherwise imperil or oppress us can enrich us, helping us transcend the psychological impediments to human concord and fulfillment."--

The first All-Star Game Babe Ruth, FDR, and America at the crossroads
"Acclaimed journalist Randall Sullivan tells the story of baseball in America, from its rough-and-tumble origins through the first decades of the twentieth century and into the pivotal summer of 1933-when national crisis and a sport's fight for survival converged in baseball's first All-Star Game. 1933. America was still reeling from the crash. Breadlines stretched around city blocks and shantytowns sprawled in the shadows of skyscrapers. American optimism was fading-and baseball was in trouble, too. Owners slashed budgets, fans stayed home, and even the mighty Babe Ruth seemed to have lost some of his magic. The election of Franklin D. Roosevelt offered hope, but just days before his inauguration, five shots rang out-missing the president-elect, killing the mayor of Chicago, and setting in motion a chain of events that would eventually bring together the world's best ballplayers for the first All-Star Game. It was a newspaperman's idea: The Game of the Century. Put the world's best on one field but let the public decide who belonged there. At a moment when some feared the national pastime would not survive the decade, Chicago would host it as the highlight of the 1933 World's Fair. The city hoped to shed its reputation as a haven for gamblers and gangsters and help restore America's standing on the world stage. But abroad, dark clouds were gathering. Hitler was Germany's new chancellor, and Mussolini had consolidated his power. As visitors strolled the fairgrounds, Italian warplanes flew overhead, and a zeppelin sent by the German delegation circled the city emblazoned with a swastika. The First All-Star Game is the story of a nation and a sport at a crossroads-and a sweeping look back at baseball's early history and the America that shaped it. Deeply researched and filled with remarkable characters-legendary players like Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, and Lefty Grove rubbing shoulders with Bonnie and Clyde, Al Capone, and Charles Lindbergh-Randall Sullivan explores the history of an American obsession and captures the moment when both the sport and the nation found renewal in a single spectacle of hope"-- Provided by publisher

The cruelty of nice folks why Minneapolis is the story of America
"It's the 'North,' they like to say, not the Midwest. It's different. Minneapolis is a city for everyone. But in 2020, George Floyd's murder by the city's police left many Americans stunned and wondering, 'How could this happen in Minneapolis?' To Ellis, the real question is: What made people think it couldn't? The Minneapolis Justin Ellis grew up in is not the idealistic metropolis it claims to be. The 'City of Lakes' was built on discrimination-- in its housing, its schools, its politics--much like all other American cities. Black families were systematically cut out of the prosperous neighborhoods, lush parks, and pristine lakes that make Minneapolis a haven of the heartland. Because of its image as a liberal ally in the fight for civil rights, Minneapolis has rarely been forced to confront this fact. But when George Floyd's murder sparks a global protest movement with the city as ground zero, its residents must finally ask what being a good neighbor actually means. In a powerful new epilogue, Ellis turns his gaze back to Minneapolis as the sweeping federal immigration operation once again thrusts the city into national headlines. If George Floyd's murder forced Minneapolis to confront questions of policing, power, and responsibility, the events of 2026 ask what those years of reckoning ultimately changed. Where fear once threatened to overwhelm the city's response to state violence, Ellis finds a community newly practiced in dissent and collective action. The crisis reveals a Minneapolis still wrestling with its identity, but also one transformed by experience--no longer shocked into awakening, but shaped by it."--

Now in Wisconsin for the funeral, they learn that Erin's last wishes contain a life-altering request. What does that mean for the separate lives they've built?

These characteristics should bring her great rewards, beginning with her arranged marriage to a much older merchant.

Anti-Chinese sentiment is strong in Los Angeles, and this eventually leads to the Night of Horrors during which all three women are challenged in ways they could not have imagined. Brought together by hardship and heartbreak, they must use their bravery, endurance, and ability to 'eat bitterness' to discover their voices, find freedom, and connect through solace and friendship.

And like most of us, I'm really only clocking in to try to crawl out from beneath my debts. But someone's got to do it. Luckily, my genetic compatibilities make me really, really good at doing it. Still. This next job ... I don't know. It's something I haven't had to deal with in years. Kind of the opposite of my regular duties. Strange, that it got thrown my way. I'm sure it'll all go totally fine though." -- front flyleaf."

Now a Traveler capable of traversing through all of space and time, he warns them that forces he cannot identify are working to disrupt time for unknown and potentially catastrophic reasons.

When the hunter is hunted... who becomes prey? Zora Ravenal didn't join the Crimson Army to be a hero. She joined to destroy the empire.

It almost works. Now she's stuck in a war she can't walk away from, hiding dangerous secrets, and shoved into very close quarters with the one man she should never be alone with. He's a Royal Mage with a body count, a temper, and an unsettling obsession... with her. Now they're partners. Sort of. If "partners" means being forced to train together, trust each other with their lives, and somehow not kill each other in the process. But the Royal Mage isn't just dangerous--he's paying attention. And the longer they're forced to remain in each other's orbit, the more twisted everything becomes. Who's hunting who?

As she struggles to mask her power, Audra's plagued by visions of a dark, seductive being with a conflicting truth. He doesn't want to save the world; he plans to reclaim it.

"The...author takes us back to the world of the Alchemical Journeys in this action-packed follow-up to Middlegame, Seasonal Fears, and Tidal Creatures. The gods live and die at our whim.

More than a century since she built the Impossible City on the ruins of Olympus, forging it from nothing more than imagination and spite, and penned it in plain view, enabling it to be read and cherished and believed by children the world over. And now, so long after her exit from the world, the descendants of her dark alchemy-who exist in a reality that inches ever closer to the hellscape of her imagination-step into a place of birth, of discovery, of horror, to make amends for the sins of the past. Can the gods of today defeat the evils of their maker, or will the legacy of the most powerful alchemist the world has ever known prove to be their undoing?"--

Because no one knows that the Leonardo is there, no one notices when it disappears one night during a suspicious power outage.

Skye Starling is overjoyed when her boyfriend, Burke Michaels, proposes after a whirlwind courtship.

Turf wars the fight for the soul of America's game
"During his fourteen years as the head of the NFL Players Association, DeMaurice Smith was a front line advocate for football players through some of the most tumultuous crises in NFL history: Colin Kaepernick's protests, Deflategate, a lockout, two collective bargaining agreements, and more. But after witnessing the league's troubling response to discrimination and racial unrest, both within the league and beyond, Smith realized it was time to pull back the curtain and speak truth to power. Drawing from his years of unprecedented access and unparalleled knowledge of America's favorite sport, Smith documents his years leading the NFLPA and explains how the NFL distorts the truth, telling partial stories to insulate itself and grow its $20-billion-a-year brand-and the players' battles to protect themselves. From contract negotiations to battles over suspensions, Smith shows us how the union fought to protect players from the greed, racism, and dishonesty the league is built on. He also takes readers inside closed-door meetings and unreported conversations and confrontations with the industry's most powerful figures such as Robert Kraft, Jerry Jones, Tom Brady, and Roger Goodell. Turf Wars puts every NFL crisis-both familiar and lesser known-within a broader cultural and historical context, framing the league's extraordinary rise as a mirror to America's own history. Revelatory and profound, Turf Wars is a book about the soul of football: its degradation, and how to save it"-- Provided by publisher
Chimpanzee memoirs stories of studying and saving our closest living relatives
"It was apparent to all who attended the Chimpanzees in Context symposium (2016) that the breadth of experience and collective understanding of our closest living relatives extended far beyond that which could be expressed in strictly empirical terms. Many of the contributors to the meeting have spent literally decades of their life dedicated to understanding chimpanzees and the insights from those investigations now permeate the world's understanding of nonhuman animals and equally, our own species. Steve Ross and Lydia Hopper of the Lincoln Park Zoo in Chicago seek to compose an engaging and unique volume aimed at illustrating how the study of chimpanzees relates to three interrelated concepts: inspiration, reflection and compassion. Much has been written about if and how chimpanzees are capable of these and other mental constructs, but in this volume, the lens is turned around toward the primatologists themselves. What have we learned from decades of chimpanzee study and how do those findings relate to the daily lives of humans? What forces shaped the study of our closest living relative and how does that reflect on our own species? In this collection, a preeminent group of scientists will have the opportunity to tell their personal stories about their lives studying chimpanzees. These stories are meant to reflect as much as project, and the collective wisdom of the selected authors will permeate the volume into something that generates interest in chimpanzees but also inspires reflection in a broad audience of readers"--

Fields of Battle is a powerful story that sheds light on a little-known slice of American history where World War II and football intersect.

Being Lolita a memoir
"A dark romance evolves between a high schooler and her English teacher, in this breathtakingly powerful memoir about a young woman who must learn to rewrite her own story. "Have you ever read Lolita?" So begins seventeen-year-old Alisson's metamorphosis from student to lover and then victim. A lonely and vulnerable high school senior, Alisson finds solace only in her writing-and in a young, charismatic English teacher, Mr. North. He praises her as a special and gifted writer, and she blossoms under his support and his vision for her future. Mr. North gives Alisson a copy of Lolita to read, telling her it is a beautiful story about love. The book soon becomes the backdrop to a relationship that blooms from a simple crush into a forbidden romance, with Mr. North convincing her that theirs is a love affair rivaled only by Nabokov's masterpiece. But as time progresses and his hold on her tightens, Alisson is forced to evaluate how much of that narrative is actually a disturbing fiction. In the wake of what becomes a deeply abusive relationship, Alisson is faced again and again with the story of her past, from rereading Lolita in college, to working with teenage girls, to becoming a professor of creative writing. It is only with that distance and perspective that she understands the ultimate power language has had on her-and how to harness that power to tell her own true story. BEING LOLITA is a stunning coming-of-age memoir of obsession, passion, and manipulation, shining a bright light on our shifting perceptions of consent, vulnerability, and power. This is the story of what happens when a young woman realizes her entire narrative must be rewritten-and then takes back the pen to rewrite it"--

King grumpylib and the grumpy town of fairness
Ever since I can remember I have always loved telling stories and illustrating characters. As a kid I loved exploring the colorful action filled pictures of comic books and reading science fiction and fantasy books, which led me to pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Animation and working on graphic novels and film editing. It was only when my wife and I had two children of our own that I saw the importance of using my talents to teach children the moral values and life lessons that I had been taught to me by my mother and father as a child. God has always given me a desire to use my art for storytelling. It has always been a dream of mine to produce art forms that have strong entertainment and moral values. Though I have worked on many projects, this is my first fully finished book. Thanks to my wife for all her support, to my family for standing behind me, and too you the reader for supporting my dream! King Grumpylib and the Grumpy town of Fairness is a humorous family friendly children's book that teaches kids lifelong lessons about fairness, working hard and contentment. Adults will laugh and children of all ages will understand the moral values taught as King Grumpylib carries out his mission.
