Philosophers' Dogs
Each and every human philosopher since time immemorial has stolen their best ideas and insights from their four-legged friends. Not only that, but they’ve shamelessly changed and altered their dogs’ original thoughts to make them sound more human (read: more foolish). Philosophers’ Dogs is the groundbreaking volume that will set the record straight and, in doing so, shake the very foundations of both Western and Eastern philosophy. Featuring beautiful illustrations alongside meticulous research and historical fact,* it follows the trials, tribulations and tail-wagging of the dogs owned by famous philosophers and essayists, and presents to readers the unadulterated real histories of the true masters of enlightenment. A vital addition to the bookshelves of philosophy students, dog lovers and anyone with an interest in THE TRUTH, Philosophers’ Dogs is also packed with genuine quotes hitherto (wrongly) attributed to minds such as Karl Marx, Ayn Rand, Socrates and Simone de Beauvoir. *Not necessarily historical or factual.
Kill the Clock
Paris-born Frederique Bonnaire has escaped New York City for Santa Monica, California where she faces an unknown future but one she is certain will be an improvement over what she left behind: a recent divorce and dwindling jobs as a high-end model. The one person she knows in the sunny state is Joseph Buckley Lemoyne, now a successful private investigator. Freddy met her Cajun friend when, as a moonlighting Manhattan cop, Buck provided security at her fashion show gigs and they'd bonded over the fact that they were both former New Orleans residents. Freddy embraces the Left Coast lifestyle, becoming a devout Laker basketball fan, and just when she thinks the only problems marring her new beginning are romantic complications involving Buck, her favorite bartender and a certain Native american police detective plus a still struggling modeling career, she learns a dear girlfriend she'd known in New York has also migrated to Southern California. . .only to be the victim of an attempted murder. As she enlists Buck and a cast of diverse characters to solve the mystery of the shooting, Freddy discovers an even more frightening fact. . .the killer is also after her!

Hounded
Andy Carpenter isn't sure what to think when he gets a mysterious phone call from a good friend, policeman Pete Stanton, asking him to drop everything, drive to an unfamiliar address, and bring his girlfriend, Laurie Collins. He certainly isn't expecting to show up at a crime scene. But that's exactly where he arrives—at the house where Pete has just discovered the body of ex-convict Danny Diza. Upstairs are Danny's now orphaned eight-year-old son and basset hound. And that, Andy discovers, is why he and Laurie were called to the scene—Pete wants them to take care of the boy and the dog so they won't get thrown into the "system." This is already asking a lot, but soon Pete needs another big favor from Andy. Pete himself has come under suspicion for Danny's murder, and he needs defense attorney Andy to represent him...and to find out what really happened in Danny's house that day. David Rosenfelt has done it again. Told with his characteristic humor and wit, Hounded is at once a heartfelt story about family and a page-turning legal thriller.

So You Girls Remember That
Collected wisdoms, reflections and stories from Indigenous Elder Naanii Nora of the Haida Nation. So You Girls Remember That is an oral history of a Haida Elder, Naanii Nora, who lived from 1902 to 1997. A collaborative effort, this project was initiated and guided by Charlie Bellis and Maureen McNamara and was years in the making. The resulting book, compiled by Jenny Nelson, is a window into Nora’s life and her family—from the young girl singing all day in the canoe, bossing her brothers around or crossing Hecate Strait on her dad’s schooner, to the young woman making her way in the new white settlers’ town up the inlet, with music always a refrain—these are stories of childhood;...
