After Humanity
After Humanity is a guide to one of C.S. Lewis's most widely admired but least accessible works, The Abolition of Man, which originated as a series of lectures on ethics that he delivered during the Second World War. These lectures tackle the thorny question of whether moral value is objective or not. When we say something is right or wrong, are we recognizing a reality outside ourselves, or merely reporting a subjective sentiment? Lewis addresses the matter from a purely philosophical standpoint, leaving theological matters to one side. He makes a powerful case against subjectivism, issuing an intellectual warning that, in our "post-truth" twenty-first century, has even more relevance than ...
The House That Sugarcane Built
The House That Sugarcane Built tells the saga of Jules M. Burguières Sr. and five generations of Louisianans who, after the Civil War, established a sugar empire that has survived into the present. When twenty-seven-year-old Parisian immigrant Eugène D. Burguières landed at the Port of New Orleans in 1831, one of the oldest Louisiana dynasties began. Seen through the lens of one family, this book traces the Burguières from seventeenth-century France, to nineteenth- century New Orleans and rural south Louisiana and into the twenty-first century. It is also a rich portrait of an American region that has retained its vibrant French culture. As the sweeping narrative of the clan unfolds, so ...
Crow's Haunt
In the heart of Victorian York there is a shop like no other. Mrs Holden may be widowed, childless and infirm, but her unexpected venture quickly becomes the talk of the town. With the help of Tobias Michael, his daughter Irene, and a beady-eyed crow, Mrs Holden slowly begins to rebuild her life after decades of heartbreak and solitude - until the unimaginable happens. The shop is robbed of every single article. Frightened and alone, Mrs Holden has been left with nothing but the clothes on her back and a mysterious hidden letter opener - but it is just the beginning. Vowing vengeance, Mr Michael goes in search of the culprit and finds an identical shop with an oddly familiar face at its helm. An intriguing murder mystery filled with compelling characters and vivid historic detail, Crow's Haunt explores one woman's struggle with her unspoken grief and one man's determination to bring peace to the lives of those he loves.
Duckworth, the Difficult Child
Duckworth’s parents think he is a difficult child, so when a snake slides right up and swallows him whole, his parents don’t believe him! What’s poor Duckworth to do? Duckworth is a difficult child. At least that’s what his parents think. So when Duckworth tries to explain that a gigantic snake slithered out of his closet, his parents insist it’s all in his head—he is far too old to be imagining such nonsense. (And will he please do his chores?) But even when the cobra slides right up and swallows Duckworth whole, his parents remain unconvinced! (Where did he find that snake costume, and will he please put it away?) What’s poor Duckworth to do when his parents just won’t listen? With nods to the deliciously dark humor of Edward Gorey, Florence Parry Heide, and Jon Klassen, Michael Sussman and Júlia Sardà empathize with children everywhere who must find ways to deal with their difficult parents.

In an age of mobile telephony and electronic tablets, the Outlaw was proven to be out of his depth. Niblick was not. As last man standing in the captaincy stakes Mashie Niblick st...
