"Poetry is language at play. In New Songs of Innocence S.J. Hodson is hard at work in this playground teasing us with syllabic verse ("Beside Himself with Calm"), haiku stanzas ("A Cougar Strolled By"), sonnet, ("Sonnet for Miriam"), and villanelle ("A Poet's Dark Night of the Soul"). He relishes the natural rhythm of speech and knows how to polish it metrically. He rhymes in wonderfully complex ways, combining end rhyme, internal rhyme, slant rhyme, sight rhyme and the unexpected sudden break from rhyme. But poetry isn't just play, however clever. Language is a serious matter. It's not working unless it opens us up to our world. Beauty is at once at odds with and requires truth. In this ancient quarrel between poetry and philosophy, S.J. Hodson comes down squarely on both sides. At its best poetry teaches without preaching. If Blake's Songs of Innocence calls established religion into question to recover wonder at the religious spirit that gives birth to it, Hodson's New Songs of Innocence means to call into question science, the established religion of our time, to wonder again at what gives birth to it, the scientific spirit. ( ] (Hodson] writes not so much to please his audience as to tease and teach his audience-and what a pleasure it is to be taught this way. Making poetry is for him serious-a way to think, a way to wonder. But he is also masterful at playfully seducing others to wonder. If 'philosophy begins in wonder,' these poems are invitations to philosophize. S.J. Hodson is one of the most interesting and talented poets of his generation, and yet he remains known to only a very few. In New Songs of Innocence, we are graced with his first published book of poetry. We should be thankful and hope it will not be his last." Taken from the Introduction by Michael Davis Autorid: S. J.

The Write Way to Die is a fast-paced, intriguing and blackly comic tale of murder in the creative quarter of a seaside town where the bodies are mounting up amongst the art installations. When Amy joins a writing group, it's murder. On paper, at least, as the eclectic members pen their perfect killings. The planner, the housewife, the pantser and the classicist all contribute their stories, some darkly comic, others simply gruesome. Then there's Robert, who wants to write a killer worthy of a nickname. Enter the Exhibitionist, the stuff of nightmares and the darkest of all. Autorid: Jo Bavington-Jones

At the helm of X, bankrolling far-right lawsuits, and parroting white nationalist conspiracy theories to millions, Elon Musk is no longer a tech eccentric with odd politics - he's the public face of the MAGA counter-revolution. Alongside Trump and the digital culture warriors of the new right, Musk is acting as both financier and foot soldier, reshaping the online public sphere in the image of a paranoid, hyper-capitalist backlash. He's not just posting through it - he's helping lead it. In this urgent and razor-sharp essay, award-winning journalist Richard Cooke dissects the political descent of Elon Musk: from self-described moderate to reactionary provocateur, from self-mythologised innovator to conspiracy peddler and chaos agent. With forensic clarity, Cooke exposes the roots of Musk's transformation - the mythology of genius, the libertarian cult of disruption, and the tech elite's growing comfort with authoritarianism. Dark Star Rising investigates how the richest man alive came to dominate what was once the digital town square - and what it means when that square is turned into a plaything of the paranoid elite. As Cooke reveals, Musk's trajectory is not an anomaly but a warning: when billionaires cosplay as rebels and monopolise the means of communication, democracy itself hangs in the balance. Dark Star Rising is searing account of the political devolution of Elon Musk - and what it reveals about the tech elite's descent into far-right reaction. Autorid: Richard Cooke

In this volume, Deborah Appler and Terry Ann Smith offer a sustained investigation and feminist critique of Ezra-Nehemiah that moves beyond traditional historical and theological interpretations of Ezra-Nehemiah. Their intersectional analysis engages themes of gender, power, economics, and social justice. Tensions between group inclusion and exclusion are evident in Ezra-Nehemiah, and the authors bring attention to the complexities associated with identity formation and boundary-making for a repatriated community. Their analysis amplifies often overlooked voices in the text and offers insight into how issues of faith, marginalization, and communal solidarity complicate what it means to "come home." Their collaborative analysis of Ezra-Nehemiah demonstrates how ancient and modern communities grapple with community formation and identity amidst ever-evolving social and cultural challenges.

From Marginalian Editions: a far-seeing essay collection by the iconoclastic historian Jane Ellen Harrison—heroine to generations of writers from Virginia Woolf to Mary Beard—that explores the invisible tendrils between science and the sacred, the psychology of bias, the fulcrum of progress, and the countercultural courage of changing our minds in light of new understanding.Alpha and Omega is the culminating work of Jane Ellen Harrison, the maverick Cambridge classicist who reshaped our understanding of ancient Greek culture and pioneered a radical vision of faith, imagination, and progress. Declaring herself a “deeply religious atheist,” Harrison rejected the confines of dogma to explore faith as the human capacity to transcend the known and imagine the possible. This collection of essays—published at the dawn of World War I—unpacks the invisible connections between science and spirituality, individual belief and collective consciousness, and reason and love as forces for societal transformation. With wit and daring, Harrison dismantles the binaries that divide us—young and old, feminine and masculine, sacred and profane—revealing how these tensions, when reconciled, can catalyze change.As Maria Popova writes in her introduction, Harrison’s essays are an “act of faith toward the future and an act of heresy toward the status quo,” challenging us to rethink our biases, beliefs, and most deeply held assumptions. From the influence of Darwinism on religion to the psychology of conversion, from the evolution of gender roles to the ethics of pacifism, Alpha and Omega is a timeless guide to the imagination and courage required to live through an age of division and uncertainty.

This book aims to chronicle the ideological impulse as it has manifested itself since the French Revolution of 1789. Whether in the form of Jacobinism, Marxist-Leninism, National Socialism, Progressive Democracy, the New Left, or the New Woke Dispensation, one witnesses the same impatience with prudent reform and piecemeal change, the same propensity to ideological Manichaeism (people are guilty for who they are--belonging to the wrong class or race--and not what they have done), the same replacement of the age-old distinction between good and evil by the illusory distinction between Progress and Reaction, the same denial of free will and moral agency, and the same desire to to repudiate our civilized patrimony and to negate the very idea of a natural order of things that cannot be engineered out of existence. And, of course, in each manifestation of the Ideological Lie, as the dissidents in the Communist East called it, we witness unrelieved contempt for a self-limiting constitutional order rooted in self-government and the rule of law. In the new Woke Dispensation, self-loathing and limitless contempt for our Western inheritance and American civic tradition are mandatory requirements of commitment to an understanding of "democracy" that is nothing but a "mangled wreck," to cite the memorable words of Abraham Lincoln. The book will also explore the efforts of assorted ideologists and totalitarian fanatics over the last two centuries to create a fictive "Second Reality" to replace the only human condition we know. The books draws on the prophetic and prescient insights of Dostoevsky, Solzhenitsyn, Raymond Aron, Eric Voegelin, and Kenneth Minogue to analyze the ideological war on moderation, common sense, and civilized liberty. It traces the appropriation of fundamentally ideological conceptions of race, class, and "gender" to deny common sense and the mutual moral accountability that underlies a liberal order that continues to honor traditional wisdom and good sense. The book also argues that our failure to learn the right lessons from the totalitarian tragedy of the twentieth century (and to energetically pass on those lessons to new generations) allowed the ideological virus to metastasize in new and terrible ways. With gender theory, for example, our new Jacobins war on human nature (and common sense) in a way that did not even cross the minds of revolutionary nihilists in earlier century. The final sections of the book analyze the nature and roots of the omnipresent "culture of repudiation" as the late Roger Scruton called it, and multiple paths for overcoming it and despotism old and new.

For the first time, Kew’s recovered collections of Indian botanical art are brought together with the remarkable stories of the artists who painted them, the colonial context in which they were made, and their essential role in the development of botanical knowledge. Featuring a representative selection of one hundred artworks from the previously fractured, uncatalogued, and largely inaccessible collection of over seven thousand Indian illustrations in Kew’s archives, Flora Indica foregrounds the vital role of Indian artists in helping to advance both scientific knowledge and the aesthetics of botanical art. The botanical watercolors, created between 1790 and 1850, were commissioned by British botanists, many of whom were employed by the East India Company to document India’s rich plant diversity. The text by leading expert Henry Noltie reveals the lost stories of how these illustrations came to be, exploring the work of twenty Indian artists from eleven collections, with nineteen named individuals and thirty previously unseen illustrations. Noltie’s extensive research into these hidden histories features plants native to South Asia alongside exotics introduced from the then-emerging international network of botanical gardens, taking readers on a journey that explores the environments in which these master artists worked. The style of the works represents a unique fusion of traditional Indian artistry and techniques with botanists’ demands for naturalism and scientific specificity from an Indo-British perspective. Presented with a foreword by art historian William Dalrymple, Flora Indica illuminates Kew’s beautiful Indian botanical art collection, through which readers are invited to discover the important lost histories of Indian botanical art from the age of empire.

In this revised and updated edition, Krissy Pozatek teaches parents to examine their own patterns and build new skills to help teens and young adults in crisis and treatment to become more self-aware, build new skills, regain confidence, and learn how to safeguard the emotional work their child is doing in treatment. The bestselling The Parallel Process revised and updated new edition contains two new chapters and other valuable insights and information from the author, care providers, and parents integrated throughout the book. It also contains moving and poignant forewords by a care provider and parent. For a parent of a struggling teen or young adult, a mental health treatment program that takes the child out of the home for a period of time offers parents a respite from the daily tumult of negotiations, power-struggles, and unsafe behaviors. However, just as a young person is undergoing self-discovery, skill-development, and learning accountability, parents also need to engage in a similar process can use the crisis of having a child in treatment to reflect on their own patterns that may have contributed to the families’ unraveling. This is The Parallel Process. Using case examples garnered from her many years as an adolescent and family therapist, Krissy Pozatek shows parents of preteens, adolescents, and young adults how they can break enmeshed parent-child patterns and promote their child’s emotional health and maturation through attuning to emotions, setting safety boundaries, and not rushing to the rescue. When parents learn to not take responsibility for their children’s emotions, problems, and behaviors, their kids are more likely to take ownership and reclaim their lives. Likewise, parents can recognize their own patterns of surrendering their lives and personalities to parenting. As such, The Parallel Process is an essential primer for all parents of struggling teens, who are seeking to grow together as they navigate the adolescent years. Autorid: Krissy Pozatek, Mike Giresi

The Christian longing to share anguish, fear, gratitude, and awe has found expression in many forms of prayer, beginning in Scripture and the practices and words of Jesus. Over the centuries many fruitful approaches to prayer have taken hold, but often there is a certain unease about what is right or what is best. In this book, Fr. Martin eases these concerns with thoughtful, practical encouragement about prayer in all of its forms. Selected from his popular column "Teach Us to Pray” featured monthly in Give Us This Day, Fr. Martin offers practical guidance and invites us to spend time in the presence of God in any form it takes, as prayer is always transformative. Autorid: James Martin

How do Catholic university faculty attend to and support the prophetic imaginations of their students? Among the treasures of the Catholic intellectual tradition, two are especially vital for contemporary Catholic education: the sacramental imagination and prophetic imagination. A sacramental imagination, as illuminated in this book’s companion Becoming Beholders, posits that God is made manifest in all the academic life. But that reality of beauty and goodness must be held in tension with the prophetic imagination—a worldview that is acutely attuned to injustices and looks with creative eyes towards a more peaceful and equitable world. Composed of essays by faculty in Catholic higher education in various fields, Beneath the Roar and the Tumult addresses this tension, with insight into practical strategies for attending to the prophetic imagination in the classroom. In the classroom, educators are called on to create spaces for their students to grapple with inequalities and to dream of an actionable way forward while cultivating a more wholistic vision of academic life in solidarity with the world outside of it. Beneath the Roar and the Tumult offers practical guidance for fostering inclusion and belonging in college classrooms to provide a space where the prophetic imagination is embraced.

From Sunday Times bestseller Miles Morland comes a brilliant, life-affirming and audacious travel memoir. 'A beautiful, profound and funny book about a very brave man.' - Bryan Appleyard. 'You don t have to be a biker to be captivated by Miles s adventures.' - Jim Rogers, author of Investment Biker. 'Miles Morland is not dead, although he should be. He is living proof that common sense should never stand in the way of a good time.' - Jane Bussman author of The Worst Date Ever. 'Yearning for freedom, a middle-aged duffer manages to master a powerful machine and ride it to remote and beautiful landscapes all over the world. The reader peeps over his shoulder, enchanted - and terrified.' - David Reynolds author of Slow Road to Brownsville. Having never ridden a motorbike at night, in rain, or on motorways not knowing the difference between a carburettor and a spark plug, Miles Morland set out to ride across newly post-communist Europe to Istanbul. Somehow, he survived gales in France, rioting miners in Romania, homicidal truck drivers, and floods in Turkey. Since then, he has ridden the equivalent of twice round the world across five continents. He still doesn't know what a carburetor is. This isn't a book about biking. It's a story of idiot optimism, fearless discovery, and the freedom most of us can only dream about during our commute to work. Recklessly heading across Patagonia, the Andes, Japan, India, Australia's Nullarbor, and every other unlikely place, Miles's utter disregard for practical preparation and unfailing belief that things will work out somehow get him home safe. The Hopeless Biker is about letting go, going it alone, and trusting you'll survive to discover what's on the other side of the mountain. Autorid: Miles Morland
