"This is a story about a fight between neighbors when the folks next-door are on the Forbes 400 list and you're the guy fixing an irrigation ditch in a vest mended with duct-tape. Big Timber, Montana is one of the windiest towns in one of the windiest states in the country. Mountain gap winds howl down from the Crazies like a coyote, rattling windows in their frames and nudging semi-trucks sideways on Interstate 90. Most locals learn to live with the wind. Rick Jarrett sought his fortune in it. A fifth-generation rancher deep in debt, he didn't much believe in climate change. But like the prospectors who rushed to the Treasure State to mine copper and gold, he believed in his right to make a living off his goddamn land. His decision to erect Crazy Mountain Wind would spark fifteen years of legal tussles, pitting him against a Texas oil magnate, a flashy Vegas criminal defense attorney, the heir to the largest privately held company in America, and a former cop committed to conserving and preserving this last best place on earth. As the years dragged on, the battle over Crazy Mountain Wind would devolve into a fight over the values that define us as Americans, pulling in an ever wider cast of characters, including a San Francisco private equity firm, strict constructionist Public Service Commissioners, and a Crow activist determined to regain his tribe's right to climb the mountains they hold sacred. A riotous patchwork portrait of a community of cowboys and billionaires and billionaire cowboys, The Crazies is a heartbreaking story about what it means to be a good neighbor and how to care for a place you love"-- Provided by publisher.

Sunny es exactamente lo que significa su nombre en inglés: soleado. Siempre con la sonrisa bobalicona y algo agradable que decir, Sunny es el tipo más chévere en el equipo de los Defensores. Pero la vida de Sunny no siempre ha sido un rayo de sol resplandeciente. Verás: Sunny es un asesino. O al menos eso es lo que piensa de sí mismo. Su madre murió al darle a luz, y si nos basamos en el modo en que su padre lo trata --al ignorarlo y hacerle que siempre le diga "Darryl", en lugar de "papá"--, no en balde Sunny piensa que la culpa de la muerte de su madre sea suya. Tal parece que lo único que Sunny puede hacer bien según su padre es ganar cintas de primer lugar en las competencias de una milla de distancia, igual que hacía su mamá. Pero a Sunny no le gusta correr; de hecho, nunca le ha gustado. Así que deja de hacerlo. En medio de una competencia. En el momento en que la relación con su padre no podría ir peor, lo último que querría Sunny es dejar a los otros novatos --sus únicos amigos-- atrás. Pero no puedes estar en un equipo de atletismo y no correr. Así que el entrenador le pregunta a Sunny qué quiere hacer. ¿Y la respuesta de Sunny? Bailar. Sí, bailar. Pero es que tampoco puedes estar en un equipo de atletismo y bailar. Entonces, en un movida genial que solo podría haber concebido Jason Reynolds, Sunny descubre una modalidad en el atletismo que contiene los ritmos duros del hip hop, la precisión del ballet y las dotes teatrales del baile en general: el lanzamiento del disco. Mientras Sunny practica el lanzamiento del disco, que es aprender a soltarlo a tiempo, también soltará todo lo que lo ha carcomido por dentro.

Against Common Sense is a collection of poems that thinks that complexity is a form of accuracy-which is to say, a form of honesty-and that simplicity itself is not a virtue; in fact, simplicity has been used many times as a form of violence. The poems in Against Common Sense do not think that there is a type of knowledge that a person can obtain that detracts from said person's overall ability to think: this is the theory that is invoked when common sense is employed; that it is possible somehow that learning can separate us from ourselves; that learning is a dangerous activity that will leave us with less information than we began with. Against Common Sense is a collection of poems, it is hoped, that thinks.

"Astrological Geomancy, a form of divination as powerful as Astrology, used to be the cornerstone of the Western Mystery Tradition. For centuries, court magicians advised the kings and queens of Europe on war, marriages, foreign and economic policy using Geomancy. Geomancy was the preferred form of divination for most of the top magicians of the Renaissance and Cunning folk, as it was quicker and easier to use. Sadly, Geomancy and Astrology lost their popularity in the 19th century. Astrology regained its glory and modernity in the 20th century, but Geomancy remained a hidden curiosity. Even magical groups like the Golden Dawn and Ordo Templi Orientis (O.T.O.) hardly embraced Geomancy with enthusiasm. They felt that Geomancy was accurate, but difficult, as all its texts were out-of-date and overly pessimistic. But recently, things have changed and Geomancy has reclaimed its rightful place in the modern magical corpus. In Stars and Stones, Nick Farrell shows you how to understand Geomancy using more modern astrological methods and interpretations. He lifts this powerful oracle from its medieval roots and brings it into the Internet age. The book guides you through the basics and the more advanced methods of traditional Geomancy. You will learn how to go from your first simple readings to more advanced insights, all based on a more positive approach to questions."-- from Amazon.com

"Collecting over 30 rare works of short fiction tinged with horror and eroticism by one of comics' most distinct voices, spanning over 20,000 years from the Stone Age to the apocalypse. Julia Gfrörer is quietly one of the most influential cartoonists of her generation. Emerging from the Portland scene at the height of the Obama era, her comics augured the dark times to come, using graphic sex, pitch-black horror, a hunger for exploring the past, and a line cruel as a whip to create her own unmistakable sense of millennial melancholy. Reflecting her DIY ethos, much of her work has only been available in self-published zines or independent anthologies, many of them rare or out-of-print until now. World Within the World features 30 of Gfrörer's short stories, culled from a decade of writing and drawing at the bleeding edge of the art form. Her tales of desire, despair, and the universal need for connection span centuries, continents, and cultures from prehistoric teenagers in love to Christian martyrs in the making to modern-day vampires on the make. Along the way her bold, confident work leads the reader to some unexpected places, whether erotica inspired by the works of Edgar Allan Poe or a post-apocalyptic parody of Frasier. In World Within the World, there is no distinction between the realistic and the fantastic, the psychological and the supernatural, the modern and the medieval, the mundane and the sublime just the artist's unflinching vision of how it feels to be human, no matter when or where." -- amazon.com.
