The planned destruction of homes affects millions of people globally; places destroyed range in scale from single dwellings to entire homelands.

Too frequently, this destruction is justified as being in the public interest.

All the Places We've Been, All the Places We're Going
A beautiful, wordless graphic novel about feeling lost . . . and trying to get back to the place where you think you should be. What happens when you're trapped in the darkness, in emotional pain and turmoil? How can you make your way through that anguish and find joy again? In wordless black-and-white illustrations, John Cei Douglas empathetically shows the struggle to communicate how things feel when we get lost, and the wrenching loneliness that comes with mental-health struggles. His poignant images show a woman, sad and alone, as she drifts powerlessly across a vast and empty universe . . . till she finds her way home. A quietly beautiful meditation on the seemingly endless paths we wander just to be able to return to where we think we should be, All the Places in Between is a comforting reminder that you're not alone on your journey.
The Cases That Haunt Us
Certain criminal cases have a life of their own. Despite the passage of years they continue their hold on the public imagination, either because of the personalities involved, the depravity of the crime, doubts over whether justice was done, or the tantalizing fact that no one was ever caught... Now John Douglas, the foremost investigative analyst and criminal profiler of our time, turns his attention to eight of the greatest mysteries in the history of crime, including those of Jack the Ripper, The Boston Strangler and JonBenet Ramsey. Taking a fresh look at the established facts, Douglas and Olshaker dismantle the conventional wisdom regarding these most notorious of crimes and rebuild them - with astonishing results.
