The Inner Alphabet
The Inner Alphabet offers a spiritual approach for learning the ABCs. While most alphabet books are externally focused, The Inner Alphabet is internally focused. Each letter has a word and corresponding statement to help children understand the word’s meaning. The age-appropriate statements are intended to be conversation starters for adults to teach children about the mind-set and choices that form the foundation for healthy, balanced living. For instance, A is for “Appreciation,” encouraging kids to look for things to appreciate. The letter B is for “Body;” children have bodies, but they also have souls. C is for “Confidence;” children should believe in themselves and know they are capable, and so on. This book is an excellent tool for adults who want children to develop the habit of being self-aware, which is a key component to social and emotional well being. Not only does The Inner Alphabet guide children on a path to self-realization, but it also builds literacy and vocabulary skills. Help your child learn the ABCs of authentic and happy living. It’s an alphabet book for the soul!

Firebreak
"New Liberty City, 2134. Two corporations have replaced the United States, splitting the country's remaining forty-five states between them: Stellaxis Innovations and Greenleaf. There are nine supercities within the continental US, and New Liberty City is the only amalgamated city shared between the two megacorps, and thus in a perpetual state of civil war as the feeds broadcast the atrocities committed by each side. Mallory streams Stellaxis's wargame SecOps on BestLife, spending more time jacked in than in her miserable reality. When a chance encounter with one of the game's rare supersoldiers leads to a side job for Mal, her sudden burst in online fame rivals a deepening fear of what she is uncovering about BestLife's developer and puts her in the kind of danger she's experienced only through her avatar." --page [4] of cover
Pirate de lumière
Un roman poignant et élégant. Une ode à la résilience. Née pendant le pire ouragan que la Floride ait connu, Wanda en porte le nom et les stigmates.

Rosarium
Hannah Dow's debut poetry collection, Rosarium, is a series of beautiful interrogations. In precise, luminous language, Dow engages the mysteries of faith as a catalyst for meditations on the contradictory human condition--our knot of body and spirit. These poems engage the inexplicable, attempting to articulate the tension between doubt and a longing for certainty, between belief in the potency of language and acceptance of its failures. Yet these lyrics never evaporate into abstraction. They pulse with the particular. Postcards that read as prayers (spoken without hope of response) lead us around the corporeal world through vastly different landscapes--from Mississippi, to California, to Europe, to the Middle East--showing how place shapes us, how the mind cannot escape the body.
Ungulate Taxonomy
A group of special interest to mammalogists, taxonomists, and systemicists, ungulates have proven difficult to classify. This comprehensive review of the taxonomic relationships of artiodactyls and perissodactyls brings forth new evidence in order to propose a theory of ungulate taxonomy. With this straightforward volume, Colin Groves and the late Peter Grubb cut through previous assumptions to define ungulate genera, species, and subspecies. The species-by-species accounts incorporate new molecular, cytogenetic, and morphological data, as well as the authors’ own observations and measurements. The authors include references and supporting arguments for new classifications. A starting point for further research, this book is sure to be discussed and hotly debated in the mammalogical community. A well-reasoned synthesis, Ungulate Taxonomy will be a defining volume for years to come.
