Renato Rosaldo's new prose poetry collection shares his experiences and those of his group of twelve Mexican American Tucson High School friends known as the Chasers as they grew up, graduated, and fell out of touch. Derived from interviews with the Chasers and three other friends conducted after their fiftieth high school reunion, Rosaldo's poems present a chorus of distinct voices and perspectives that convey the realities of Chicano life on the borderlands from the 1950s to the present.
"This edgy fantasy doesn't just blur boundaries of genre, of gender, of past and present, life and death--it explodes them." --Cinda Williams Chima, New York Times bestselling author of the Seven Realms series and the Shattered Realms series. Without the dead, she'd be no one. Odessa is one of Karthia's master necromancers, catering to the kingdom's ruling Dead. Whenever a noble dies, it's Odessa's job to raise them by retrieving their soul from a dreamy and dangerous shadow world called the Deadlands. But there is a cost to being raised: the Dead must remain shrouded. If even a hint of flesh is exposed, a grotesque transformation begins, turning the Dead into terrifying, bloodthirsty Shades. A dramatic uptick in Shade attacks raises suspicions and fears around the kingdom. Soon, a crushing loss of one of her closest companions leaves Odessa shattered, and reveals a disturbing conspiracy in Karthia: Someone is intentionally creating Shades by tearing shrouds from the Dead--and training them to attack. Odessa is forced to contemplate a terrifying question: What if her magic is the weapon that brings the kingdom to its knees? Fighting alongside her fellow mages--and a powerful girl as enthralling as she is infuriating--Odessa must untangle the gruesome plot to destroy Karthia before the Shades take everything she loves. Perfect for fans of Three Dark Crowns and Red Queen, Reign of the Fallen is a gutsy, unpredictable read with a surprising and breathtaking LGBT romance at its core.

The small town of Winston, Colorado, has a secret-one that hides in its children. Long ago, there were many children who suffered from the local "condition." There are fewer of them now, but Shelby is one of them. She was born with a ruby embedded in her skin. In the same year, two other kids in town, Gary and May, were born with emeralds. Now a teenager, Shelby nurses a crush on Gary, while he sticks close to the fragile May and tries to protect her from, among other things, Shelby's bullying. Despite their differences, however, their births connect them; when May goes missing, Gary needs Shelby's help. Together, Shelby and Gary learn the unspeakable truth about each other-and about the chasers. Death lurks around every turn; in order to survive, Shelby, Gary, and May must work together. It is now their responsibility to save an entire generation of people also born with their "condition" before a century-old grudge destroys them all.
With 16 pages of black-and-white illustrations In Storm Kings, Lee Sandlin retraces America's fascination and unique relationship to tornadoes and the weather. From Ben Franklin's early experiments, to "the great storm debates" of the nineteenth century, to heartland life in the early twentieth century, Sandlin shows how tornado chasing helped foster the birth of meteorology, recreating with vivid descriptions some of the most devastating storms in America's history. Drawing on memoirs, letters, eyewitness testimonies, and numerous archives, Sandlin brings to life the forgotten characters and scientists that changed a nation and how successive generations came to understand and finally coexist with the spiraling menace that could erase lives and whole towns in an instant.

Extraordinary Space is a work of science fiction that blends romance and adventure with a newly postulated scientific thesis. In the novel, a new direction of travel available to humans is discovered mathematically and later brought to reality by the main character Lyte Donner. Lyte, with the help of his female assistant Jaseta Zee, makes use of his newly developed technology in a variety of ways including erradicating drug rings, dissolving street gangs, busting international terrorist organizations, and many others. Due to ordinary forces of Earth gravity, this new direction of travel has gone unrealized until Lyte neutralizes gravity in a realistic way consistent with current cutting edge technology. Lyte then balances all other forces that could cause movement in every heretofore known direction and this in turn causes movement in the path of least resistance which is in the new direction. The novel refers to this new direction as the fourth dimension but hold on to your hats because this is not the usual concept of the fourth dimension. Much theory and fiction have already been advanced about the fourth dimension time-space continuum but this novel deals with none of that. New science is proposed in the novel and the new direction of movement is the result of extending the rules of 3-dimensional Euclidean space to 4-dimensional space. It is Euclidean Four Space. Before arguing the point, the question is who can prove that this space doesnt exist? Caution is called for here. Proceed with an open mind. Lyte uses a device called the INTEGRAL to move into the new space which fully encompasses every point in the old ordinary space. A person reading the novel for the first time will likely make judgments based of his/her circle of knowledge and frame of reference and could refer to the INTEGRAL as a Teleportation device. This is new science. It would be a mistake to call the INTEGRAL a Teleportation device. The characters simply move into a new space. They are not teleported anywhere. Teleportation was probably a term new to many of us and introduced by the entertainment industry during the 1960s. We have advanced far beyond that and few if any of the old clichs are adequately able to describe the new science axiomated by the novel. It took several years to develop and complete the novel. The novel was completed prior to the events of 9/11/01. Ironically, Lyte Donners first lead to terrorists in the book was centered around a pair of Middle Easterners traveling from London to Paris. The subject of terrorism is a major part of the book. The novel culminates on a complication of terrorism, which is resolved nicely. The book is alive with patriotism (again written even before the events of 9/11/01). Patriotism is now alive and well again in our country. It is a popular thing at present and throughout the novel, patriotism is thrust to the forefront. The book even explains how and why patriotism was subdued for such a long period of time, from Lytes point of view of course. In the book, the term Ground Zero is used in its original sense. The term has now become a well recognized and repeated term. The book is appropriate for the time. The events described in the book are purely ficticious. Any resemblences to real events is strictly coincidental. Although the events in the book are fictional, some (but not all) of the events in the book carry an underlying theme that should be the concern of every American citizen.
