Kyle Cloud was proud to use the sacred stick of his great-great grandfather, a famous Dakota lacrosse player named Four Foxes. The stick seemed to have magic powers for Kyle. It was one of the few things that had been with him through all he had lost in his young life--his parents and his grandmother had all passed away. When his uncle Richard moved them to a new town, Kyle also lost his old Lacrosse team. So it was even more devastating when his crosse went missing after a game and showed up destroyed. Without it, Kyle wasn't playing as well as he usually did. Can his new teammates help Kyle forgive and get back in the game? Zach Riley brings the action and emotion of lacrosse to young readers with Sacred Stick. Get into the heart of the game with Zach Riley books!

Down for the Count

By: Zach Riley

Junior was the shortest kid on his neighborhood baseball team. He didn't mind being short--he adjusted his stance and stood tall when he was batting so he could get a piece of the ball. And man, could he hit! But when Junior made the traveling baseball team, the coach wanted him to use his height "just to get on base." He was supposed to wait for the count to do the work. No hitting for him. That wasn't the kind of baseball Junior wanted to play, even if it meant his dad was paying more attention to him. Can Junior find a way to connect with his dad and play the fun version of baseball again? Zach Riley brings the action and emotion of baseball to young readers with Down for the Count.

Quarterback Crisis

By: Zach Riley

Drew "The Dart" Howard has always been the quarterback for his touch football team. Now the boys are playing full pads tackle football for the first time ever. The team is looking to the Dart to lead them to victory again. But Drew has started throwing ducks--his dad's term for a bad pass--instead of darts. He's lost his confidence and fallen into a quarterback crisis. Everyone has a suggestion for fixing his throws, but nothing is working. Soon, the new kid, Tyler Wade, has replaced Drew as QB, but he isn't happy about it either. Will a little teamwork help Drew get back his position? Or is it all over for the Dart?

Lose Your Cool, Revised and Expanded Edition

Discovering a Passion that Changes You and the World

By: Zach Hunter

You don’t love a mocha the same way that you love Jesus. As a teen today, you probably have plenty of interests and plenty to plug into. In the midst of the constant stimulus—activities, media, text messages, and social networking—activist and fellow teenager Zach Hunter asks: What consumes the bulk of your time? How do you zero in on what really matters? Zach wrote this book to share powerful inspiration from the lives of others and to promote his steadfast belief that his generation is capable of great things—actions that may require shedding conventional notions of what is cool and important—and of choices that can heat up, ignite, and stoke the flames of a deeper passion, the kind of passion that changes the world. Are you ready to lose your cool?

Crawfordsville, Athens of Indiana

By: Karen Bazzani Zach

The early west-central Indiana town of Crawfordsville saw the passage of several Native American tribes, as well as French traders and missionaries, traveling along Sugar Creek. Flourishing as the county seat, the city was buoyed by the railroad, horses, and higher education, and is most well known for Wabash College, outstanding American authors such as Lew Wallace (Ben Hur), and the Federal Land Office. Overcoming hardships along the way, the residents' fortitude and commitment to the city's growth enabled them to persevere and establish this lucrative and charming community.

Between Script and Scripture: Performance Criticism and Mark's Characterization of the Disciples

Between Script and Scripture: Performance Criticism and Mark's Characterization of the Disciples

By: Zach Preston Eberhart

This volume reimagines the first-century reception of the Gospel of Mark within a reconstructed (yet hypothetical) performance event. In particular, it considers the disciples' character and characterization through the lens of performance criticism. Questions concerning the characterization of the disciples have been relatively one-sided in New Testament scholarship, in favor of their negative characterization. This project demonstrates why such assumptions need not be necessary when we (re-)consider the oral/aural milieu in which the Gospel of Mark was first composed and received by its earliest audiences.

Gods and Gods

By: Zach Selby

Gods and Gods is a collection of parables that leave interpretation up the reader. The parables are constructed in such a way that all can find solace and teaching in them despite, or perhaps because of, their background. Though one may hope for a blank canvas upon which to undertake spiritual reflection, the parables still lend themselves to the tendencies of the author. However, these tendencies are subtle and possibly even a beneficial tool for the reader.

The Tormented Alliance

American Servicemen and the Occupation of China, 1941–1949

By: Zach Fredman

After Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor, leaders in China and the United States had high hopes of a lasting partnership between the two countries. More than 120,000 U.S. servicemen deployed to China, where Chiang Kai-shek's government carried out massive programs to provide them with housing, food, and interpreters. But, as Zach Fredman uncovers in The Tormented Alliance, a military alliance with the United States means a military occupation by the United States. The first book to draw on archives from all of the areas in China where U.S. forces deployed during the 1940s, it examines the formation, evolution, and undoing of the alliance between the United States and the Republic of China during World War II and the Chinese Civil War. Fredman reveals how each side brought to the alliance expectations that the other side was simply unable to meet, resulting in a tormented relationship across all levels of Sino-American engagement. Entangled in larger struggles over race, gender, and nation, the U.S. military in China transformed itself into a widely loathed occupation force: an aggressive, resentful, emasculating source of physical danger and compromised sovereignty. After Japan's surrender and the spring 1946 withdrawal of Soviet forces from Manchuria, the U.S. occupation became the chief obstacle to consigning foreign imperialism in China irrevocably to the past. Chinese leader Chiang Kai-shek lost his country in 1949, and the U.S. military presence contributed to his defeat. The occupation of China also cast a long shadow, establishing patterns that have followed the U.S. military elsewhere in Asia up to the present.

I'd Rather Be Destroyed

By: Zach Goldberg

Zach Goldberg’s I'd Rather Be Destroyed carves straight to the core of self-destruction, reckoning with personal, familial, and sociocultural struggles. Earnest and darkly funny, this collection rebuilds the self from its broken pieces. Playing with dynamic and experimental forms, Goldberg explores modern Jewish identity, familial and cultural inheritances, and managing mental health. Its historical and religious allusions navigate modern and personal conversations, reflecting how we embrace and reject the legacies that shape us. Sharp and captivating, I'd Rather Be Destroyed’s honesty and artistry make it a must-read.

The Econocracy

On the Perils of Leaving Economics to the Experts

By: Joe Earle,Cahal Moran,Zach Ward-Perkins

A century ago, the idea of 'the economy' didn't exist. Now economics is the supreme ideology of our time, with its own rules and language. The trouble is, most of us can't speak it. This is damaging democracy. Dangerous agendas are hidden inside mathematical wrappers; controversial policies are presented as 'proven' by the models of economic 'science'. Government is being turned over to a publicly unaccountable technocratic elite. The Econocracy reveals that economics is too important to be left to the economists - and shows us how we can begin to participate more fully in the decisions which affect all our futures.

Morning Patrol

By: Zach Neal

A German pilot accidentally lands on Rick’s aerodrome, and there are only two ways he can play it. He can stick a gun in the idiot’s face and take him prisoner—earning a mention in dispatches for his trouble. Or, he can go hog-wild and pull the prank of a lifetime on good old Fritzie. The spanking-new Halberstadt two-seater the Hun is flying is too beautiful. With a little help from his friends, he’s dying to try it out. Zach Neal’s Morning Patrol is a tall tale of World War One aviation at a time when aerial warfare was a little kinder, a little gentler—a little more innocent perhaps.

A City on Mars

Can we settle space, should we settle space, and have we really thought this through?

By: Kelly Weinersmith,Zach Weinersmith

* THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER * Scientific American’s #1 Book for 2023 * A New York Times Book Review Editors' Choice * A Times Best Science and Environment Book of 2023 * A Tor.com Best Book of 2023 * “Exceptional. . . Forceful, engaging and funny . . . This book will make you happy to live on this planet — a good thing, because you’re not leaving anytime soon.” —New York Times Book Review From the bestselling authors of Soonish, a brilliant and hilarious off-world investigation into space settlement Earth is not well. The promise of starting life anew somewhere far, far away—no climate change, no war, no Twitter—beckons, and settling the stars finally seems within our grasp. Or is it? Critically acclaimed, bestselling authors Kelly and Zach Weinersmith set out to write the essential guide to a glorious future of space settlements, but after years of research, they aren’t so sure it’s a good idea. Space technologies and space business are progressing fast, but we lack the knowledge needed to have space kids, build space farms, and create space nations in a way that doesn’t spark conflict back home. In a world hurtling toward human expansion into space, A City on Mars investigates whether the dream of new worlds won’t create nightmares, both for settlers and the people they leave behind. In the process, the Weinersmiths answer every question about space you’ve ever wondered about, and many you’ve never considered: Can you make babies in space? Should corporations govern space settlements? What about space war? Are we headed for a housing crisis on the Moon’s Peaks of Eternal Light—and what happens if you’re left in the Craters of Eternal Darkness? Why do astronauts love taco sauce? Speaking of meals, what’s the legal status of space cannibalism? With deep expertise, a winning sense of humor, and art from the beloved creator of Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal, the Weinersmiths investigate perhaps the biggest questions humanity will ever ask itself—whether and how to become multiplanetary. Get in, we’re going to Mars.

They sat under Old Man McGurt's apple tree, the wind rustling the Golden Delicious fruit. Bobby, a plump, polydactyl young chap the age of twelve, pointed his pudgy index digit toward the sky. Look at the thithe of that one, Thally! he exclaimed, saliva sputtering out his gob. Thometimeth I wish I wath an apple tree. That way I could have ath many appleth ath I want. Sally brushed her golden locks behind her ears. That's the absolute most retarded thing I've ever heard in my life, she replied. And then she stood up and walked off into the sunset, daddy's breath still fresh in her mouth.
