An Infidelitous Earth

James McCrary is not a bad man, just a better animal. It's the reason Uwe Löwe sprang him from juvenile detention and groomed him as his hunter protege. The reason he prefers his steak "extra rare." The reason executors from New York to Berlin trust him to "cull" unruly gargoyles. It's no wonder, then, that the executor over Western Europe calls on him to track down the most dangerous pyromancer London has ever faced and recover the most potent artifact the world has ever known. But what starts as a routine hunt quickly devolves into a citywide war as James begins to see his prey as the predator he truly is.

Growing Hybrid Hazelnuts

The New Resilient Crop for a Changing Climate

By: Philip Rutter,Susan Wiegrefe,Brandon Rutter-Daywater

Growing Hybrid Hazelnuts is the first comprehensive guide for farmers interested in how to get started growing hybrid hazelnuts, a crop designed from the very outset to address a host of problems with conventional modern agriculture. Once hybrid hazelnuts are established, no plowing, or even cultivation, is necessary. Dramatically improved infiltration rates prevent water from running off of fields, regardless of soil type.

The Black Republic

African Americans and the Fate of Haiti

By: Brandon R. Byrd

In The Black Republic, Brandon R. Byrd explores the ambivalent attitudes that African American leaders in the post-Civil War era held toward Haiti, the first and only black republic in the Western Hemisphere. Following emancipation, African American leaders of all kinds—politicians, journalists, ministers, writers, educators, artists, and diplomats—identified new and urgent connections with Haiti, a nation long understood as an example of black self-determination. They celebrated not only its diplomatic recognition by the United States but also the renewed relevance of the Haitian Revolution. While a number of African American leaders defended the sovereignty of a black republic whose fate they saw as intertwined with their own, others expressed concern over Haiti's fitness as a model black republic, scrutinizing whether the nation truly reflected the "civilized" progress of the black race. Influenced by the imperialist rhetoric of their day, many African Americans across the political spectrum espoused a politics of racial uplift, taking responsibility for the "improvement" of Haitian education, politics, culture, and society. They considered Haiti an uncertain experiment in black self-governance: it might succeed and vindicate the capabilities of African Americans demanding their own right to self-determination or it might fail and condemn the black diasporic population to second-class status for the foreseeable future. When the United States military occupied Haiti in 1915, it created a crisis for W. E. B. Du Bois and other black activists and intellectuals who had long grappled with the meaning of Haitian independence. The resulting demand for and idea of a liberated Haiti became a cornerstone of the anticapitalist, anticolonial, and antiracist radical black internationalism that flourished between World War I and World War II. Spanning the Reconstruction, post-Reconstruction, and Jim Crow eras, The Black Republic recovers a crucial and overlooked chapter of African American internationalism and political thought.

America in Perspective

Defending the American Dream for the Next Generation

By: David Sokol,Adam Brandon

America in Perspective argues, without hesitation, that America’s best days are ahead if only we can continue to embrace the ideas and values that got us here in the first place. When faced with challenges and conflict, our system of government allows us to self-correct and self-heal, and world history shows that this approach is uniquely American. Today, essential American values are being discredited, such as the American Dream and our meritocratic spirit. America in Perspective reviews American history, warts and all, and presents a path forward for modern America to secure a free and prosperous future for the next generation of Americans.

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Brandon Sanderson, a special gift edition of Edgedancer, a short novel of the Stormlight Archive (previously published in Arcanum Unbounded). Three years ago, Lift asked a goddess to stop her from growing older--a wish she believed was granted. Now, in Edgedancer, the barely teenage nascent Knight Radiant finds that time stands still for no one. Although the young Azish emperor granted her safe haven from an executioner she knows only as Darkness, court life is suffocating the free-spirited Lift, who can't help heading to Yeddaw when she hears the relentless Darkness is there hunting people like her with budding powers. The downtrodden in Yeddaw have no champion, and Lift knows she must seize this awesome responsibility.

The Day Daniel Left

By: Brandon Dean

On a gloomy day in 2040, middle-aged Daniel Connor returns home from an unfortunate doctor’s visit. With his wife by his side, he is soon visited by a dear friend, and together they finish Daniel’s account of the night of a special reunion—how those dearest to him, including a stubborn journalist, a police officer, an army veteran, and the one that got away, made their way to that night and how their lives have been altered since. Weaving through childhood glory days to the endurance test that is adulthood, Daniel navigates several relationships and career opportunities, but he cannot escape the past. After a heartbreaking setback, he sets out for a new course in life and is ready to leave everything behind, unaware of what awaits him. The Day Daniel Left is a novel about the subtle strings, which tie people together, loosening its slack as we grow older and how we eventually realize its ability to tighten once again when all hope seems lost.

Religion

The Death of Many

By: Brandon J. Wilson

Religion: The Death of Many digs into the Scriptures and lifts up its guidance for identifying the many ways that Satan uses to deceive the people of God. In the course of outlining this scriptural approach to discerning the truth of the diabolical forces arrayed against the church and its people, Brandon J. Wilson also describes how to overcome feelings of pain and rejection. In addition, he describes how to persevere against the forces that try to drag one away from God and to discern the truth about prophecies, distinguishing those that truly come from God from those Satan creates to deceive believers. In its ten-chapter exploration, Religion addresses a variety of topics: understanding religion, the redeeming blood, prophecies, faithful giving, how God uses broken people, overcoming feelings of hurt in the church, the problem of evils existence, those who know rejection, getting back into the battle against evil, and words of encouragement. The discussions draw deeply from the well of the Scriptures to provide insights and guidance. If you are a Christian or someone who has drifted away from practicing your faith, then Religion: The Death of Many offers words of encouragement and wisdom. It proclaims that God does not leave or forsake you, no matter how far astray you may have gone. God gives his word to strengthen your faith to withstand Satans deceptions, to overcome your pains and hurts, and to use wisdom to see the truth. For booking contact bwils954@gmail.com.

Played Out

The Race Man in Twenty-First-Century Satire

By: Brandon J. Manning

Dating back to the blackface minstrel performances of Bert Williams and the trickster figure of Uncle Julius in Charles Chesnutt’s Conjure Tales, black humorists have negotiated American racial ideologies as they reclaimed the ability to represent themselves in the changing landscape of the early 20th century. Marginalized communities routinely use humor, specifically satire, to subvert the political, social, and cultural realities of race and racism in America. Through contemporary examples in popular culture and politics, including the work of Kendrick Lamar, Key and Peele and the presidency of Barack Obama and many others, in Played Out: The Race Man in 21st Century Satire author Brandon J. Manning examines how Black satirists create vulnerability to highlight the inner emotional lives of Black men. In focusing on vulnerability these satirists attend to America’s most basic assumptions about Black men. Contemporary Black satire is a highly visible and celebrated site of black masculine self-expression. Black satirists leverage this visibility to trouble discourses on race and gender in the Post-Civil Rights era. More specifically, contemporary Black satire uses laughter to decenter Black men from the socio-political tradition of the Race Man.

Buried Seeds

Learning from the Vibrant Resilience of Marginalized Christian Communities

By: Alexia Salvatierra,Brandon Wrencher

This book demonstrates how two overlooked ministry models--base ecclesial communities of the Global South in the late 20th century and hush harbors of the US Deep South during antebellum times--offer proven strategies for the 21st-century church and contemporary social movements. These ministry models provide insight into the creation and sustenance of vital Christian community, particularly for those seeking indigenous culturally-rooted models, and show how to and show how to integrate vibrant Christ-centered faith and mission with world-changing social justice and political action.

Filthy Animals

By: Brandon Taylor

INSTANT NATIONAL BESTSELLER WINNER OF THE STORY PRIZE SHORTLISTED FOR THE DYLAN THOMAS PRIZE NAMED A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR BY USA TODAY, NPR, VULTURE, MARIE CLAIRE, THE TIMES OF LONDON, GOOD HOUSEKEEPING, AND PUBLISHERS WEEKLY A group portrait of young adults enmeshed in desire and violence, a hotly charged, deeply satisfying new work of fiction from the author of Booker Prize finalist Real Life In the series of linked stories at the heart of Filthy Animals, set among young creatives in the American Midwest, a young man treads delicate emotional waters as he navigates a series of sexually fraught encounters with two dancers in an open relationship, forcing him to weigh his vulnerabilities against his loneliness. In other stories, a young woman battles with the cancers draining her body and her family; menacing undercurrents among a group of teenagers explode in violence on a winter night; a little girl tears through a house like a tornado, driving her babysitter to the brink; and couples feel out the jagged edges of connection, comfort, and cruelty. One of the breakout literary stars of 2020, Brandon Taylor has been hailed by Roxane Gay as “a writer who wields his craft in absolutely unforgettable ways.” With Filthy Animals he renews and expands on the promise made in Real Life, training his precise and unsentimental gaze on the tensions among friends and family, lovers and others. Psychologically taut and quietly devastating, Filthy Animals is a tender portrait of the fierce longing for intimacy, the lingering presence of pain, and the desire for love in a world that seems, more often than not, to withhold it.
