The Encyclopedia of Me
A is for "Tink Aaron-Martin," "Aardvark," and "Amazing" in this wonderful alphabetical novel! Tink Aaron-Martin has been grounded AGAIN after an adventure with her best friend Freddie Blue Anderson. To make the time pass, she decides to write an encyclopedia of her life from "Aa" (a kind of lava--okay, she cribbed that from the real encyclopedia) to "Zoo" (she's never been to one, but her brothers belong there). As the alphabet unfolds, so does the story of Tink's summer: more adventures with Freddie Blue (and more experiences in being grounded); how her family was featured in a magazine about "Living with Autism," thanks to her older brother Seb--and what happened after Seb fell apart; her growing friendship, and maybe more, with Kai, a skateboarder who made her swoon (sort of). And her own sense that maybe she belongs not under "H" for "Hideous," or "I" for "Invisible," but "O" for "Okay."Written entirely in Tink's hilarious encyclopedia entries, The Encyclopedia of Me is both a witty trick and a reading treat for anyone who loves terrific middle-grade novels.

Zombies, Vampires, and Philosophy
Don't turn around - there's probably one behind you right now. Vampires and zombies are just everywhere. Bram Stoker had no idea what he was starting when he published his vampire novel Dracula in 1897, incidentally digging up and re-animating the word ''undead. Whether it's Twilight, Let the Right One In, True Blood, or the comic book series Thirty Days of Night, vampire stories seem to experience an eternal cycle of death and resurrection, growing more potent, if not more rosy-cheeked, with each successive manifestation. While vampires are suave, sexy, sophisticated, stay up all night, generally have good hair, and often deliver witty one-liners, zombies are just the opposite. Zombies have...

Twenty-four contemporary writers reflect on life in New York City’s biggest underdog, the “forgotten borough” of Queens.
Backyard
Livia is a nice little suburb in the upper Midwest--but behind the manicured lawns and pristine hedges seethes a ruthless desire to be the greatest green thumb of all. . . George and Nan Fremont have created a paradise in their backyard, complete with semi-hallucinogenic exotics and a comfy spot for drinking their favorite merlot. Marta Poppendauber's garden is as pleasantly haphazard as she is. And Dr. Phyllis Sproot, Livia's self-styled and cantankerous gardening expert, has determined the exact formula for the only correct garden possible. But once Burdick's Plant World announces the garden contest to end them all, none of the gardeners of Livia can afford to live and let live. The Fremon...
Alternative Protein Source For A Sustainable And Healthy Nutrition
Global socioeconomic systems and climate change exacerbate disparities that leave a huge proportion of the human population malnourished. This condition will be further worsened by intensive food production like livestock that produces affordable protein but contribute to increasing greenhouse gases, making conventional food sources such as animal livestock unsustainable at global scales, in a vicious cycle. Thus, food systems have come under pressure to meet global food demands, whilst having to meet economic and ecological targets.

The Most Dangerous Problem of Mankind
We live in perilous times, filled with existential problems and challenges. The fate of humanity hangs in the balance. But, according to author Pastor Kevin “KD” Desmore, the biggest problem is that humankind is choosing to ignore Biblical knowledge, and he believes it will lead to more division and destruction. In The Most Dangerous Problem of Mankind, Desmore addresses this growing issue. He maintains that the Bible is the answer and solution to all our problems. He shares that the most unappreciated verse in the entire Bible is Genesis 1:26. It tells us of who we are, the authority we have and God’s original intent for our lives here on earth. It shows us how we can discover our value and give us a sense of worth before leaving this transient world. Desmore maintains that our purpose is to make the kingdom of God visible here on earth. If we don’t understand the intent of our creator, there’s no way to fix what’s causing us to malfunction. Through the Tell-All book of God, he implores mankind to go back to the Bible, accept Christ and become partakers of his divine nature.
Dirty South
Rap music from New York and Los Angeles once ruled the charts, but nowadays the southern sound thoroughly dominates the radio, Billboard, and MTV. Coastal artists like Wu-Tang Clan, Nas, and Ice-T call southern rap &“garbage,&” but they're probably just jealous, as artists like Lil Wayne and T.I. still move millions of copies, and OutKast has the bestselling rap album of all time. In Dirty South, author Ben Westhoff investigates the southern rap phenomenon, watching rappers &“make it rain&” in a Houston strip club and partying with the 2 Live Crew's Luke Campbell. Westhoff visits the gritty neighborhoods where T.I. and Lil Wayne grew up, kicks it with Big Boi in Atlanta, and speaks w...
