Some stories spring from pure imagination, mere reflections of an author's perception of reality. Others, like this one, are forged in the mud and misery of actual conflict. In the decaying jungles and fetid rice paddies of South Vietnam, a diverse band of soldiers and civilians endures a harrowing year of combat that will continue to haunt them for more than three decades. Their season of need reveals not only the horror of war, but also the possibility of finding solace and purpose in the most unlikely of places.

He is found by a ragtag band of wanderers a traveling musician with fire in her hair, an aging comedian, a boy genius.

In February 1869, a chemistry professor in St. Petersburg was late with a textbook, short on sleep, and out of ideas. He wrote the elements on cards and started shuffling them the way a man shuffles a deck of patience. What came out of that afternoon was not a filing system. It was the discovery that matter has a shape. Dmitri Mendeleev arranged the elements by the only quantity he could measure, atomic weight, and then did the thing that made him great rather than merely industrious: when the pattern disagreed with the measurements, he sided with the pattern.

In Moonfern Vale, a peaceful herd of spotted deer lives by ancient paths, shared watchfulness, and the quiet wisdom of the forest. Their safety is shattered when a pack of wild hunting dogs, led by the ruthless Bristlejaw, begins driving prey from the grasslands and claiming the valley's waterways. Young Sera, whose sharp eyes notice patterns others overlook, must unite fawns, elders, and neighboring creatures before fear divides the herd. Rather than answering cruelty with cruelty, the deer learn to turn the valley itself into a shield.

The human being is the only creature that does not merely live in the world but reads it. We wake into a flood of signs — words, faces, memories, headlines, silences — and we cannot help turning each one into meaning. This is not a hobby of scholars. It is the condition of being human, and it reaches from the way the brain assembles a sunrise to the way a civilization argues about its past.

From reluctantly residing in a squat to the rules of Cricket, embark on a free-ranging potpourri of poetry that will render the listener to tears before producing intermittent cries of laughter.

If coming out the other side of life's difficulties and addictions can influence or encourage just one person to do the same, this publication will not have been compiled in vain.

Due to COVID-19, Theodore 'Teddy' Roosevelt Webster and his partner, Alfred 'Stinky' Floyd, are about to lose their business, Pine Valley Outfitters. It seems a miracle when Ruben Benjamin Kaufman, president of On Site Films, offers Teddy a job. Somehow, Kaufman has obtained a rare permit to film in the Pine Valley Wilderness. Since no combustion vehicles are allowed, Teddy's job is to transport (by horse) film equipment, technicians, and actors onto the mountain and keep them supplied. Stinky (who loves garlic and smells of it) will be the camp host, babysitter, and trash cop.

You wake up every morning convinced that someone is home. There is a self in there, you assume, a small steady captain at the wheel, the same one who went to sleep the night before, the same one who will sign your name and remember your childhood and answer when called. Gilles Deleuze, one of the strangest and most exhilarating philosophers of the twentieth century, spent his life quietly dismantling that captain. He suspected the wheel turns whether or not anyone is holding it. This book is a guided tour through that suspicion.

In the 1920s, the Russian geochemist Vladimir Vernadsky proposed that human thought was becoming a planetary force—a new sphere overlaying the biosphere, made not of rocks or oceans or life but of mind. He called it the noosphere. A hundred years later, no one is quite sure whether he was right. This book tells the strange career of that idea. It begins with a man at a microscope in St. Petersburg and ends somewhere in the silent cosmos, asking the question Vernadsky raised and never answered: is reason a planetary force, a cosmic attractor, an evolutionary fluke—or all three at once?

A glorious stretch of untamed land near the Colorado-Kansas border, it’s the perfect place to stake their claim, raise some cattle, and start a new family. But when a man claiming to be an army colonel arrives in Big Rock—with a well-armed militia—the Jensens’ dream becomes a living nightmare. This stranger calls himself Colonel Lamar Talbot. He’s come to warn them about a looming war with the Cheyenne Indians. And only he can save them from a bloody massacre—by launching a counterattack that’s even bloodier.
