All the Conspirators
A timeless story of decaying middle-class English life after wwI and the generation that tried to escape its values Christopher Isherwood was only twenty-one when he began his first novel, All the Conspirators. in his introduction to the American edition, Isherwood explains: “All the Conspirators records a minor engagement in what Shelley calls ‘the great war between the old and young.’ And what a war it was!” in many ways this novel (like the classic Berlin Stories) is a period piece growing out of a particular historical situation—clashes between parents and children with all their passionate moral struggles. Isherwood’s vivid portrayal of an older generation trying to hold on while a younger generation tries to wrench free still resonates and disarms.
What Happens at Night
A couple find themselves at a fading, grand European hotel full of eccentric and sometimes unsettling patrons in this "faultlessly elegant and quietly menacing" allegorical story that examines the significance of shifting desires and the uncertainty of reality (Garth Greenwell, author of Cleanness). An unnamed American couple travels to a strange, snowy European city to adopt a baby. It’s a difficult journey that leaves the wife, who is struggling with cancer, desperately weak, and her husband worries that her illness will prevent the orphanage from releasing their child. On arrival, the couple checks into the cavernous and eerily deserted Borgarfjaroasysla Grand Imperial Hotel where the b...
Resolve in International Politics
Why do some leaders and segments of the public display remarkable persistence in confrontations in international politics, while others cut and run? The answer given by policymakers, pundits, and political scientists usually relates to issues of resolve. Yet, though we rely on resolve to explain almost every phenomenon in international politics—from prevailing at the bargaining table to winning on the battlefield—we don't understand what it is, how it works, or where it comes from. Resolve in International Politics draws on a growing body of research in psychology and behavioral economics to explore the foundations of this important idea. Joshua Kertzer argues that political will is more...

Chapter authors draw on theory and research on biopsychology, neuroscience, personality, psychopathology,...
Cry of the Damned
The Lux Academy breeds destruction and hatred. Now, I will breed its end. My pack was disseminated by Academy magistrates. Almost everyone was murdered and the children taken to be molded into fierce enemies of the wildlings. The shifter packs and witch covens want revenge, and they don’t care if they bring pain and destruction to the innocent. But we can’t let our foes turn us into monsters. There is a better way, and along with my triad—three faithful, strong, and sexy allies—I mean to find it. So we infiltrate their city and try to undermine them from within. Except, the Academy’s deceit and cruelty run deeper than we ever could have imagined. If I’m to destroy them, I will have to make choices that might always haunt me, if I manage to escape with my life. And as every moment in Lux City becomes increasingly more dangerous for me and my friend, the choices become impossible. I fear the end is near, and that I won’t live to complete the bond my fated mate craves.
