Eye See You is a chilling horror anthology that explores one unsettling truth: to be seen is not always to be safe.Eighteen horror and dark speculative fiction writers came together for a shared creative challenge centered on the concept of watching eyes. What those eyes witness, who they belong to, and why they watch varies wildly from story to story-yielding a collection that is as imaginative as it is disturbing. From quiet, creeping dread to moments of outright terror, these tales examine surveillance, perception, obsession, and the horrifying consequences of being noticed when you least expect it.This anthology invites readers to peer into worlds where sight itself becomes a weapon, a curse, or a doorway to something far worse. The result is a haunting exploration of fear that lingers long after the final page-best read with the lights on, and perhaps the curtains drawn.Featuring stories by: - Fae Eyes by Katharine Kapodistria- The Space Where Something Should Be by A.P.

A dynamic and sweeping history that exposes how humankinds affinity for pesticides made the modern world possiblewhile also threatening its essential fabric. For thousands of years, weve found ways to scorch, scour, and sterilize our surroundings to make them safer. Sometimes these methods are wonderfully effective. Often, however, they come with catastrophic consequencesconsequences that arent typically understood for generations. The Chemical Age tells the captivating story of the scientists who waged war on famine and disease with chemistry. With depth and verve, Frank A. von Hippel explores humanitys uneasy coexistence with pests, and how their existence, and the battles to exterminate them, have shaped our modern world. Beginning with the potato blight tragedy of the 1840s, which led scientists on an urgent mission to prevent famine using pesticides, von Hippel traces the history of pesticide use to the 1960s, when Rachel Carsons Silent Spring revealed that those same chemicals were insidiously damaging our health and driving species toward extinction. Telling the story of these pesticides in vivid detail, von Hippel showcases the thrills and complex consequences of scientific discovery. He describes the invention of substances that could protect crops, the emergence of our understanding of the way diseases spread, the creation of chemicals used to kill pests and people, and, finally, how scientists turned those wartime chemicals on the landscape at a massive scale, prompting the vital environmental movement that continues today. The Chemical Age is a dynamic, sweeping history that exposes how humankinds affinity for pesticides made the modern world possiblewhile also threatening its essential fabric.

The Double Empathy Reader brings together a substantial collection of work from leading researchers, theorists and practitioners, with first-hand accounts of neurodivergent people, to explore this growing area of study within the neurodiversity movement. This comprehensive handbook explores Damian Milton's ' double empathy problem' the breakdown in mutual understanding that can happen between any two people yet is more likely to occur when people of differing dispositions attempt to interact. It challenges the traditional view that in exchanges between autistic and non-autistic people, this breakdown was simply the result of autistic people being inherently deficient in empathy. Thirteen years after the theory was first published, The Double Empathy Reader brings together an important volume of work to explore the research that has developed in that time as well as the many gaps in our understanding that still exist, with the aim to understand the potential of this theory to aid a reframing of autism itself and the radical change this could bring when considering best practice models for supporting autistic people in different settings.
