The Sun Does Shine
**WINNER OF THE 2019 MOORE PRIZE ** **THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER** ‘A riveting account of the multiple outrages of the criminal justice system of Alabama. A harrowing masterpiece’ Guardian ‘Hinton somehow navigates through his rage and despair to a state of forgiveness and grace’ Independent At age 29, Anthony Ray Hinton was wrongfully charged with robbery and murder, and sentenced to death by electrocution for crimes he didn’t commit. The only thing he had in common with the perpetrator was the colour of his skin. Anthony spent the next 28 years of his life on death row, watching fellow inmates march to their deaths, knowing he would follow soon. Hinton’s incredible story reveals the injustices and inherent racism of the American legal system, but it is also testament to the hope and humanity in us all. ‘You will be swept away in this unbelievable, dramatic true story’ Oprah Winfrey
Working the System
In Working the System: Motion Picture, Filmmakers, and Subjectivities in Mao-Era China, 1949–1966, Qiliang He inquired into the making of the new citizenry in Mao-era China (1949–1976) by studying five preeminent Shanghai-based filmmakers.

These filmmakers endeavored to reap maximal benefits from Mao’s sociopolitical system and minimize the disadvantages that would m...
Healing the Astrologer ́s World
For those who dare, this is a very different and challenging book on the subject of astrology that is not limited to merely your sun signs and all other astrological phenomena. Here you will also find interpretations of the future and of the human civilisation’s past as well as serious Child Horoscopes, Relationship Interpretations and a global view of the state of the world today. Many stories are in autobiographical form from the astrologer's own life and meetings with mediums and colleagues, as well as a deeper analysis of several taboo-affected areas, such as anxiety and life-crises, the influence of drugs, the significance of death, and our perception of God and Hell. In short, it is an extensive astrological analysis of life's many facets.
The Brink
The Brink is a fun and action-packed novel with a hip contemporary tone that brings to mind a global espionage mashup of Kill Bill and Sucker Punch. With its larger-than-life female protagonist and its highly-stylized version of global geopolitics, this is not a story that is intended to be taken too seriously. It is like a broad cartoon portrayal, but a smart and sophisticated one with plenty of glam set-pieces and contemporary pop-culture references. --Creative Artist Agency
