This bilingual anthology is a considerable achievement and an excellent complement to Bohn’s The Dada Market: An Anthology of Poetry (1983) and Reading Visual Poetry (2011). Many readers will be indebted to him for his translations of a wide selection of poems in French and Spanish written by poets both famous and unfamiliar. This anthology fills a large gap as it demonstrates the potency of the Surrealist ambition to liberate the imagination and with it poetic language.

Surrealist Poetry

&ldquo;Ryan and Kevin have a real passion for baseball, and the numbers within the game. This book looks at the full contribution of the players&mdash;not just the mainstream stats. In this book, you will find numbers that you&rsquo;ve never seen before.&rdquo;--Edgar Martinez, 2019 National Baseball Hall of Fame Inductee &ldquo;It seems like someone is always coming up with new ways to quantify value in this great game of ours. This book has a really unique take on the &lsquo;Coors Effect,&rsquo; and the &lsquo;Hangover Effect&rsquo; might completely change the way you think about baseball at high altitude.&rdquo;--Larry Walker, Five-time All-Star; 1997 NL MVP "In an era where seemingly everything can be&#160;looked up in a flash,&#160; Incredible Baseball Stats proves otherwise.&#160; There is still a world of fascinating stories and trivia if you have the ability to dig deeper and ask more sophisticated questions.&#160; An excellent primer on the history of baseball, from Sisler to Altuve, this book shows how statistics are supposed to be used; to tell fascinating stories in their proper historical context.&#160; A ton of fun, and a must for the thinking fan&rdquo;--Brian Kenny, studio host, MLB Network; author,&#160;Ahead of the Curve "I wish Kevin and Ryan would have written a book like this back when I was playing. There is stuff in here about my career I didn&#39;t even know! The stats and stories in this book are really eye-opening."&#160;--Tim "Rock" Raines, National Baseball Hall of Famer

The Coolest, Strangest STATS and Facts in Baseball History

Incredible Baseball STATS

Praise for Nora Roberts and Blood Brothers&ldquo;America's favorite writer.&rdquo;&mdash;The New Yorker&ldquo;The eternal struggle against evil plays out in the launch book of Roberts' new trilogy, The Sign of Seven. As in previous series, three couples over the course of three books must face their darkest fears. This is creepy and eerie fun!&rdquo;&mdash;RT Book Reviews

Blood Brothers

&ldquo;All the earmarks of a valedictory testament, what with its autumnal ruminations on personal history and its haunted remembrances of things past, yet Levine is too canny a craftsman to settle for dutiful curtain calls, and too much the hard-bitten ironist to fall prey to false nostalgia. If certain obsessions here are bound to strike longtime readers as old news (innocence and experience, manual labor and class struggle), the visceral language that fleshes the poems out still feels hot off the press.&rdquo; &mdash;David Barber, The Boston Globe

News of the World

A Pale Shadow Creeps

&ldquo;Karen Piper's A Girl's Guide To Missiles reaches back into the body of American war and retrieves the heart of a girl, still beating, not beaten. Her memoir riveted me--I read it in one sitting holding my breath as she made a story braid from growing up a girl and growing up in the military industrial complex at the China Lake missile range. Gender, family, war, and American myth-making make this an unforgettable book and a radical act of truth-telling.&rdquo; --Lidia Yuknavitch, author of The Book of Joan and The Chronology of Water &#160; &ldquo;Karen Piper lived the escalating levels of insanity of the cold war from the inside, playing her girlhood games in the top secret labs and working beside her parents in a hidden corner of the Mojave. The bombs of tomorrow were a family affair, and the truth was always tricky.&#160; For Piper, who writes like a dream, failed test shots mirror busted romances, and the excesses of the era eventually lead our missile girl to communal life in a bomb-proof Oregon. A Girl&rsquo;s Guide to Missiles is a family portrait, a missile-science primer, a coming of nuclear age. Piper captures the soul of an era that might not be so long gone as we would hope.&rdquo; &ndash;Bill Roorbach, author of Life Among Giants, The Remedy for Love, and The Girl of the Lake&ldquo;Brilliantly overdetermined setup, one that yields both black comedy and sickening lurches of insight.&rdquo; -- Harper's&ldquo;[A] fascinating memoir . . . [Piper] offers an incredible view of a little-known community, from WWII all the way through 9/11, and examines how her family navigated life in a town built for war.&rdquo; --Booklist

Growing Up in America's Secret Desert

A Girl's Guide to Missiles

'In this book, some of the top financial historians in the world explain how the various parts of the complex American financial system evolved through past crises. In the process, eventually the financial system learned how to sustain economic growth. This time will not be different if their lessons from history are learned.' Larry D. Neal, University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign

Credit, Crises, and Regulation from the 19th Century to the Present

Financial Systems and Economic Growth

'This is a lovely book, and one we have needed for several decades. It offers a genuinely novel perspective on the theory of labor-managed firms, informed at every step by a careful attention to empirical findings and by the institutional makeup of real-world worker cooperatives and employee-owned firms. Dow has spent some thirty years thinking about these issues, and brings his work together in an impressive whole. It will redefine the theoretical and empirical research agendas, as well as providing an invaluable text in support of a postgraduate course on economic democracy.' Virginie Pérotin, University of Leeds

Praise for Nora Roberts and The Pagan Stone&ldquo;America's favorite writer.&rdquo;&mdash;The New Yorker&ldquo;Although the odds are against them, this band of friends and lovers has strengthened and grown over the course of this series...Terror, blood, fire and death ensure that this story ends with a world-class bang!&rdquo;&mdash;RT Book Reviews

Praise for Just One Look&ldquo;The tension doesn't build slowly; it snaps and crackles right from the get-go&hellip;The only plausible reason for setting down this book is to make sure your front door is locked and double-bolted.&rdquo;&mdash;People&ldquo;A nifty suspense premise...[Coben] does a good job of riveting the reader.&rdquo;&mdash;The New York Times&ldquo;A heck of a ride.&rdquo;&mdash;New York Daily News&ldquo;Coben twists story lines into psychological thrill rides. The pages flip so fast it&rsquo;s a wonder you don&rsquo;t develop paper cuts.&rdquo;&mdash;The Orlando Sentinel &#160; &ldquo;There&rsquo;s plenty of adrenalin-pumping stuff here, but it&rsquo;s the walk down the hall of mirrors Coben does so well that rivets the attention.&rdquo;&mdash;The Houston Chronicle&#160;&ldquo;Harlan Coben remains one of the best in the game...It&rsquo;s one of those books in which the main character&mdash;and readers&mdash;have no real idea what&rsquo;s going on until the very last pages. This is both highly satisfying and enjoyably frustrating, especially when the plot twists are being carefully doled out by a pro like Coben.&rdquo;&mdash;The San Francisco Chronicle &#160; &ldquo;It&rsquo;s only when the last page turns that the reader has a chance to breathe, say &lsquo;Wow!&rsquo; and marvel at the impressively interconnected structure.&rdquo;&mdash;The Miami Herald &#160; &ldquo;Coben proves his nimble, knowing grasp of plot and pace, juggling as many as seven plotlines while still imparting a healthy backstory to cameo characters. You&rsquo;ll read it in a day, maybe two; it&rsquo;s fresh fast food in a cup-of-ramen world.&rdquo;&mdash;Entertainment Weekly

Just One Look

Praise for Sun Kissed&ldquo;In Samantha, Anderson has created a strong and gentle heroine, and a cast of family and friends proves charming throughout. This smart, wholesome tale should appeal to any fan of traditional romance.&rdquo;&mdash;Publishers Weekly&ldquo;Anderson's latest contemporary romance featuring the popular Coulter family offers an insider's perspective on the intriguing world of horse breeding and should be popular with her longtime readers.&rdquo;&mdash;BooklistMore Praise for Catherine Anderson&ldquo;One of the finest writers of romance. Her stories make you believe in the power of love.&rdquo;&mdash;#1 New York Times bestselling author Debbie Macomber&ldquo;An amazing talent.&rdquo;&mdash;New York Times bestselling author Elizabeth Lowell &#160;&ldquo;Count on Catherine Anderson for intense emotion.&rdquo;&mdash;New York Times bestselling author Jayne Ann Krentz&#160;&ldquo;Catherine Anderson has a gift for imbuing her characters with dignity, compassion, courage, and strength that inspire readers.&rdquo;&mdash;RT Book Reviews&#160;&ldquo;A major voice in the romance genre.&rdquo;&mdash;Publishers Weekly

Sun Kissed

Praise for Daughters of Rome&ldquo;A soap opera of biblical proportions...[Quinn] juggles protagonists with ease and nicely traces the evolution of Marcella&mdash;her most compelling character&mdash;from innocuous historian to manipulator. Readers will become thoroughly immersed in this chaotic period of Roman history.&rdquo;&mdash;Publishers Weekly &#160; &ldquo;A fascinating view of four women during the year of the four emperors...Regardless of whether you already have an interest in Roman history, Daughters of Rome&#160;will fascinate you from beginning to end.&rdquo;&mdash;Book Loons  &#160; &ldquo;The two sisters are fascinating protagonists...Ancient historical fiction fans will enjoy this intriguing look at the disorderly first year after Nero&rsquo;s death.&rdquo;&mdash;Midwest Book Review

Daughters of Rome

"...Klassen&#8217;s retro-looking illustrations of a posse of cool cats, in pale pink tuxedos and poodle skirts, are fun to look at. Lights dimly glow in the background from elegant French casements and alley tenements alike, as though the black, white and gray cats had the free run of the city."--New York Times, August 15th 2010

Cats' Night Out

"Farrah Gray has put together a book that is full of diamonds and gems.

The result is an energizing call to use drive and persistence to reach financial success.&rdquo;&mdash;Publisher&rsquo;s Weekly "Need to know how to make a million bucks, just ask Farrah."&mdash;Montel Williams "Farrah is a tycoon."&mdash;Dallas Morning News &ldquo;His name is synonymous with success and triumph as an entrepreneurial icon, business mogul, and best-selling author.&rdquo;&mdash;Ebony "Farrah Gray is one of the most respected and uncommon business minds to date."&mdash;New York
