Tangleweed and Brine
Bewitched retellings of classic fairy-tales with brave and resilient heroines. In the tradition of Angela Carter, stories such as Cinderella and Rumpelstiltskin are given a witchy makeover. Tales of blood and intrigue, betrayal, and enchantment from a leading Irish YA author--not for the faint-hearted or damsels in distress. Intricately illustrated with black and white line drawings, in the style of Aubrey Beardsley, by a new Irish illustrator.
Sleep Deprived
Twins Gabe and Steve had nearly the perfect childhood, never lacking for a thing. Kyle had nothing but Jenna. She wanted nothing more than to make Kyle happy, but was torn away from him far too soon. Growing up in a small Montana town, the four children discovered the realities of life. The love of parents, the loss of friends, the betrayal of a brother, the sordid, secret life of a mother. Searching for a dream, but finding that even if it does exist, it seems unattainable. Yet they continued on, searching. Gabe longed to be a musician, up on stage before thousands of adoring fans, loving to be loved by them. Steve hoped to make his living as a cowboy, traveling with the rodeo and earning enough to survive. Kyle only wished to survive from one day to the next, his guitar and letters from Jenna forcing him to cling to one more day of life. Jenna fought her own battles, learning to walk again after her dream of becoming a dancer was shattered in a fall. Overcoming all odds, the foursome made their way into adulthood, finding a little fame and a little fortune, and each other.

Over the past decade, they have been employed to explain mathematical equations, vortex phenomena in astrophysics, the need for improved laws, issues within higher education, and even the structure of human societies. Despite the surge of interest in the zombie as a critical metaphor, no coherent theoretical framework for studying the zombie actually exists. Addressing this current gap in the literature, Theorising the Contemporary Zombie defines zombiism as a means of theorising and examining various issues of society in any given era by immersing those social issues within the destabilising context of apocalyptic crisis; and applying this definition, the volume considers issues including gender, sexuality, family, literature, health, popular culture and extinction.
Free Market Fairness
A provocative new vision of free market capitalism that achieves liberal ends by libertarian means Can libertarians care about social justice? In Free Market Fairness, John Tomasi argues that they can and should. Drawing simultaneously on moral insights from defenders of economic liberty such as F. A. Hayek and advocates of social justice such as John Rawls, Tomasi presents a new theory of liberal justice. This theory, free market fairness, is committed to both limited government and the material betterment of the poor. Unlike traditional libertarians, Tomasi argues that property rights are best defended not in terms of self-ownership or economic efficiency but as requirements of democratic ...
