A Court of Wings and Ruin

&ldquo;It&rsquo;s fairly easy to read, filled with tips and chapter summaries on dealing with anxiety, and as such, may be especially useful for busy college students (who are no strangers to stress and anxiety).&rdquo;&mdash;The Daily Californian &ldquo;Own It offers a frank and funny approach to the ins and outs of anxiety&mdash;what it is, why it happens, and how to manage it. I love Caroline Foran&rsquo;s message of self-acceptance and leaning into mental illness rather than trying to outrun it. That she delivers this message with a healthy dose of curse words makes it even better. Highly recommended!&rdquo;&mdash;Sarah Knight, New York Times&ndash;bestselling author of Calm the Fuck Down &ldquo;Stop panicking and read this book.&rdquo;&mdash;Jenny Lawson, #1 New York Times&ndash;bestselling author of Furiously HappyPraise from Ireland &ldquo;It seems like in the age of self-care, everyone is dealing with some level of anxiety. But Caroline Foran is here to tell readers that whether you find yourself bursting into tears on the daily, or experiencing mental roadblocks more than usual, there are ways to identify and change your lifestyle to better suit the stressors that are eating away at your brain. She would know, as an everyday woman who has once let her anxiety define her life. Devoid of any boring, professional healthcare jargon, Foran lays out baby steps you can take to ease yourself into a less anxiety-filled world.&rdquo;&mdash;W Magazine &#160; &ldquo;[Caroline Foran&#39;s] personal take on how to live with anxiety is honest, thoughtful and perfect for millennials privately struggling with what can be a crippling condition.&rdquo;&mdash;Sunday Business Post

The Forgotten Story of How America Forged a Powerful Army Before Pearl Harbor

The Rise of the G.I. Army, 1940-1941

This book provides a comprehensive review of the occurrence, abundance, conservation status, temporal trends, and some ecological information about odonates (dragonflies and damselflies) in Oklahoma. It is a new contribution to Odonatology and I learned a lot from it. The book represents the most complete collection of information about odonates in Oklahoma, with some intriguing patterns mentioned in the species accounts that will hopefully spur more research into this fascinating, beautiful, and important group of animals.

-- Nancy E. McIntyre, Professor & Associate Department Chair, Landscape & Community Ecology, Texas Tech University, USA
Dragonflies at a Biogeographical Crossroads demonstrates how these extraordinary insects can reveal for us the riches of the physical landscape and the human experience. Far more than a scholarly work about dragonflies, and covering terrain and ideas beyond Oklahoma, this is an almanac of history, ecology and conservation from a state too long dismissed as flat and dusty. Among its dragonflies, you will discover the vast biological diversity of Oklahoma and the state’s rightful place in the geography of America. Let this volume set a high standard for insect discovery in other states and regions.

-- Bryan Pfeiffer, President of the Dragonfly Society of the Americas, 2018-21

This book is a fantastic contribution to the field. Not only does it present a great array of new information, it even presents new ways to present the information. I have never seen a book about the flora or fauna of a state that has as much information as this book contains. I paged through it in awe of the scholarship, thoroughness and even imagination expressed in the pages. The occurrence maps are fantastic, better than any I have ever seen, as they combine specimens, photos and sight records in an easily understandable way. The historical aspect of the county maps and all the history related in the text is also unique to this book. As well, it often deals with taxonomic and other questions that far exceed the borders of the state. So many things about this book are unique! Conservation becomes a more and more important feature of our writing about odonates and other organisms, and this book treats that thoroughly. Finally, we need much more published about the natural history of odonates, and the species accounts in this book contain much of interest in that regard.
-- Dennis R. Paulson, Director Emeritus, Slater Museum of Natural History, USA

Brenda Smith and Michael Patten have succeeded admirably in completing the most thorough treatment of Dragonflies and Damselflies of any state I have seen. This treatise on the Oklahoma fauna includes a series of rich and interesting introductory chapters followed by detailed accounts of each species in the state. This is an impressive compilation and analysis of an especially diverse state that will be useful to anyone wanting to explore dragonflies and damselflies in Oklahoma.
-- John C. Abbott, Ph.D., Chief Curator & Director of Museum Research and Collections, University of Alabama Museums, The University of Alabama, USA 

Dragonflies at a Biogeographical Crossroads is a truly unique and engaging book, absolutely indispensable if you are interested in the odonates of Oklahoma but also of great interest to any student or lover of this amazing group of creatures. One of the themes of the book is "beyond," and it certainly exceeds even lofty expectations in that regard: it is beyond a field guide, beyond just Oklahoma, and beyond just a book about dragonflies (here the title is a little misleading as it includes damselflies as well). The chapter on the ancestors of Oklahoma odonata is simply the most complete history on this group I have read, and the other introductory chapters are equally riveting. The species accounts are like complete research papers for each and every species, with life histories, seasonality and incredible range data, packed with more information than is available almost anywhere else. The treatise on Macromia field identification alone makes buying this book worthwhile! This is a book that will, and should, find its way onto the shelf and into the lap of everyone who is interested in this fascinating group of insects.

EDGAR ALLAN POE

Einer chinesischen Tradition zufolge ist das menschliche Leben in drei
Phasen gegliedert. In Susanna Tamaros Roman 'Anima mundi' sind sie mit
Feuer, Erde, Wind &uuml;berschrieben: die Zeit des Wachsens, die Zeit der Verf&uuml;hrbarkeit
durch &auml;u&szlig;eren Schein und die Zeit der vertieften Einsicht ins eigene Selbst
und das Wesen der Dinge. Der Roman ist die Geschichte einer schwierigen
Kindheit, einer Freundschaft und einer Selbstfindung. Ihr Protagonist findet
dank seinem Freund und einer Lehrmeisterin nach einer turbulenten, spannungsreichen
Jugend zu jenem ersehnten Einklang mit seiner Umgebung, welcher der alten
Vorstellung von der Weltseele, 'Anima mundi', zugrunde liegt. Einf&uuml;hlsam
zeigt Susanna Tamaro in ihrem modernen Entwicklungsroman, da&szlig; sich, wie
schwierig innerer Frieden auch zu erreichen sein mag, ein Weg zum Herzen
finden l&auml;&szlig;t. Und da&szlig; Gl&uuml;ck nur erlangt, wer sich zu geben vermag.

"In the follow-up to their 2016 James Beard Award&ndash;winning&#160;Zahav, chef Solomonov and his business partner Cook (together they have a string of restaurants in Philadelphia) mine the melting pot of Israel for the 70-year-old country&rsquo;s classic meals. Dishes are examined with quasi-Talmudic love...[and] temptingly presented.&#160;Whether cracking a joke about hummus (&ldquo;After almost 1,000 years, people are pretty much okay with where hummus is at. It doesn&rsquo;t need to be deconstructed&rdquo;) or offering thorough guidance for crafting pita dough, this duo strikes a heartwarming, enthusiastic tone. Expect this offering to be as successful as&#160;Zahav."&nbsp;&mdash;Publishers Weekly, STARRED review&nbsp;&nbsp; &#160;Praise for Zahav&nbsp; &ldquo;Solomonov&rsquo;s food is the genuine cooking that you find all over Israel . . . cooking that bursts with freshly ground spices and complex flavors, from char-edged kebabs to tahini-rich sauces, chewy grains, fresh herbs and rainbows of vegetable salatim, or small cold salads that are the vivid starting point of every meal.&rdquo;&nbsp;&mdash;New York Times&nbsp; &#160;&nbsp; &#160;&ldquo;The pervasive feeling is one of warmth and commensality and celebration, family-style platters rather than perfect platings, a paean to off-the-cuff pleasures and raucous gatherings.&rdquo;&nbsp;&mdash;Eater&nbsp; &#160;

"Twisty, grisly, genre-bending and immersive, Not Even Bones will grab you by the throat and drag you along as it gleefully tramples all of your expectations."&#160;&mdash;Sara Holland, New York Times best-selling author of&#160;Everless&nbsp;&nbsp; "Gritty, compelling, a tale to feed the monster in all of us. I couldn&rsquo;t put this one down." &mdash;Elly Blake, the New York Times best-selling author of Frostblood&nbsp;&nbsp; "Deliciously dark and devious, with morally grey characters that make you question what is good and what is truly evil. Warning: don&#39;t read in the dark." &mdash;Rebecca Sky, author of Arrowheart&nbsp;&nbsp; "[A] morally complex, edgy debut...Schaeffer&rsquo;s antiheroes&#160;show empathy and insight as they struggle to define the line between human and monster. It&rsquo;s a testament to Schaeffer&rsquo;s excellent writing that these themes never overtake the characters&rsquo; stories."--Booklist,&#160;STARRED review&nbsp;&nbsp; "A slasher flick spliced with Crime and Punishment, this engrossing debut novel asks complex philosophical questions in a pleasingly hard-to-stomach way."--Kirkus&nbsp;&nbsp; "Readers who are tired of the same recycled story lines will find something original here...The story is so compelling that readers have to keep going to find out how, or if Nita gets out of this mess."--School Library Journal&nbsp;&nbsp; "The thrilling plot proves thought-provoking."--Publishers Weekly
