Wohlsdorf subverts our expectations of the action genre in this smart, shocking, poignant thriller.” —Emily Croy Barker, author of The Thinking Woman’s Guide to Real MagicAs Good as Gone by Larry Watson On Sale June 21, 2016 “There’s something eminently universal in Watson’s ponderings on the human condition, and it’s refracted through a nearly perfect eye for character, place, and the rhythms of language.” —The NationWe Love You, Charlie Freeman by Kaitlyn Greenidge On Sale March 8, 2016 “Kaitlyn Greenidge’s debut novel reminds us that it is an exciting time to be reading fiction.

But more than an exploration of the mysteries of faith, it’s also the unforgettable story of one family’s struggle against tragedy. The result is an uplifting miracle of a book.” —Will Allison, author of Long Drive HomeThe Daylight Marriage by Heidi Pitlor On Sale May 5, 2015 “Hypnotically readable--I absolutely couldn’t put it down.

De Gramont's latest boasts lovely, understated writing, sharply drawn settings--Boulder, Amherst, and Cape Cod--and, once again, characters who are irresistibly attractive, flawed, and dangerous . . . But it is also an emotionally intense study of how a transcendent love becomes a fraying marriage . . .

This is an excellent, suspenseful story.” —Publishers WeeklyOnly Love Can Break Your Heart by Ed Tarkington On Sale January 5, 2016 “Kept me turning pages enthralled.

Algonquin Spring: An Algonquin Quest Novel
by Rick RevelleYears after a devastating battle, Mahingan and his tribe struggle to recover a lost loved one. Six years earlier in the fourteenth century, Mahingan and his tribe fought the Battle of the Falls against the Haudenosaunee. There were many losses, and Mahingan thought he had lost his wife, Wàbananang (Morning Star). But after the battle, he learned she was still alive, taken captive by the Haudenosaunee. Now on a desperate quest to rescue her, Mahingan and his small family are wintering north of the Ottawa River near present-day Lachute, Quebec. If they are to have any hope of recovering Wàbananang, though, they must first survive until spring. At the same time, over 2,000 kilometres away in present-day Newfoundland, events taking place will affect four Native tribes: Mahingan’s, a group of Mi’kmaq, a Beothuk group, and a band of Haudenosaunee warriors led by Mahingan’s old nemesis, Ò:nenhste Erhar (Corn Dog) — a fierce Mohawk War Chief and Wàbananang’s captor. Along the way, Mahingan’s brother, Mitigomij, will reveal his true self and powers. Then, an influential Mi’kmaq legend puts a new, powerful twist on events, and threatens to send things spiraling out of Mahingan’s control.
Algonquin Sunset: An Algonquin Quest Novel
by Rick RevelleAnokì and his sister Pangì Mahingan have grown up, and now face a decision that will change their lives forever. Twelve years after Mahingan was wounded battling for his life against the Haudenosaunee warrior known as Ö:nenhste Erhar (Corn Dog), we rejoin his family and learn what fate held for him. Now, his children, Anokì and Pangì Mahingan, along with their twin cousins Makwa and Wàbek, are grown and have adult responsibilities. Still living with their Algonquin family, they have become a formidable fighting unit with the addition of three Mi´kmaq warriors, E´s, Jilte´g, and the fierce Elue´wiet Ga´qaquj. However, there is danger in the land of the setting sun, and nothing is more dangerous than what the family is going to encounter from the fierce enemy of their new Anishinaabe allies: the Lakȟóta.
Algorithmic Culture Before the Internet
by Ted StriphasToday, algorithms exercise outsize influence on cultural decision-making, shaping and even reshaping the concept of culture. How were automated, computational processes empowered to perform this work? What forces prompted the emergence of algorithmic culture?Algorithmic Culture Before the Internet is a history of how culture and computation came to be entangled. From Cambridge, England, to Cambridge, Massachusetts, by way of medieval Baghdad, this book pinpoints the critical junctures at which algorithmic culture began to coalesce in language long before it materialized in the technological wizardry of Silicon Valley. Revising and extending the methodology of “keywords,” Ted Striphas examines changing concepts and definitions of culture, including the development of the field of cultural studies, and stresses the importance of language in the history of technology.Offering historical and interdisciplinary perspective on the relationship of culture and computation, this book provides urgently needed context for the algorithmic injustices that beset the world today.
Algorithms: A Novel (Seventh Flag Trilogy)
by Sid BalmanThis final novel in the acclaimed Seventh Flag Trilogy thrusts readers thirty years into the future—a dystopic reality of regional fiefdoms, marauding scavengers, and the quest for ultimate power: the Algorithms of everything, which have been secretly pilfered from an undersea Internet cable, stored on hard drives, and implanted in the last surviving blue whale. Ademar Zarkan—the iconic and unlikely heroine of the American West, now a seventy-year-old woman—leads the Free People of West Texas in an alliance with Native Americans and the indigenous people of northern Mexico to retrieve the hard drives and to rescue her clairvoyant granddaughter from the radicalized Sisterhood and its merciless leader, Mother. But they aren&’t the only ones in pursuit of the Algorithms.Haunting and prophetic, Algorithms is a story of violent extremism, resilience, family, and, above all, the interconnectedness of humankind and the natural world.
Algren: A Life
by Mary WisniewskiChicago Writers Association Nonfiction Book of the Year (2017) Society of Midland Authors Literary Award in Biography (2017) A tireless champion of the downtrodden, Nelson Algren, one of the most celebrated writers of the 20th century, lived an outsider's life himself. He spent a month in prison as a young man for the theft of a typewriter; his involvement in Marxist groups earned him a lengthy FBI dossier; and he spent much of his life palling around with the sorts of drug addicts, prostitutes, and poor laborers who inspired and populated his novels and short stories. Most today know Algren as the radical, womanizing writer of The Man with the Golden Arm, which won the first National Book Award, in 1950, but award-winning reporter Mary Wisniewski offers a deeper portrait. Starting with his childhood in the City of Big Shoulders, Algren sheds new light on the writer's most momentous periods, from his on-again-off-again work for the WPA to his stint as an uninspired soldier in World War II to his long-distance affair with his most famous lover, Simone de Beauvoir, to the sense of community and acceptance Algren found in the artist colony of Sag Harbor before his death in 1981. Wisniewski interviewed dozens of Algren's closest friends and inner circle, including photographer Art Shay and author and historian Studs Terkel, and tracked down much of his unpublished writing and correspondence. She unearths new details about the writer's life, work, personality, and habits and reveals a funny, sensitive, and romantic but sometimes exasperating, insecure, and self-destructive artist. The first new biography of Algren in over 25 years, this fresh look at the man whose unique style and compassionate message enchanted readers and fellow writers and whose boyish charm seduced many women is indispensable to anyone interested in 20-century American literature and history.

Alguien a quien conoces
by Shari LapenaEl esperado nuevo thriller de la autora del best seller internacional La pareja de al lado. QUIZÁ NO CONOZCAS A TUS VECINOS TAN BIEN COMO CREÍAS. En un tranquilo barrio residencial de Nueva York, un barrio de calles arboladas y acogedoras familias, algunos hogares han recibido una nota anónima: «Me resulta muy difícil escribir esta carta. Espero que no nos odie. Hace poco mi hijo entró en su casa cuando usted estaba fuera...» Un chico ha estado curioseando en las viviendas y en los ordenadores de sus dueños. ¿Quién es y qué ha descubierto? Mientras los rumores empiezan a circular y las sospechas aumentan, una mujer aparece asesinada y la tensión llega a un punto insostenible. ¿Están relacionados estos hechos? ¿Quién sabe más de lo que deja entrever? ¿Y hasta dónde están dispuestos a llegar estos simpáticos y apacibles vecinos para proteger sus secretos? La crítica ha dicho...«Elegante y estremecedor.»The Wall Street Journal «Con cada capítulo la historia aumenta su velocidad de vértigo.»USA Today «Repleto de suspense.»Booklist «Lapena ya es conocida como la gran señora del suspense y su última novela es tan emocionante como siempre.»Heat «Shari Lapena lo ha logrado de nuevo. Alguien a quien conoces te agarra por las solapas en la página uno y no te suelta hasta la última frase. Me encantó este claustrofóbico vecindario residencial en el que cualquier cosa puede pasar tras una de esas puertas.»Fiona Barton, autora de La viuda «Otra novela adictiva y llena de giros destinada a ser un best seller como los tres anteriores libros deLapena.»The Daily Mail «Una trama elaborada con astucia... Lapena aprovecha al máximo el suspense trazando con maestría dos historias paralelas.»Publishers Weekly «Giros retorcidos y momentos para morderse las uñas de una autora experta.»My Weekly «¿Hasta qué punto conocemos a nuestros vecinos?

Alguien como tú
by Ana F. MaloryEve descubrirá que su compañero de viaje hacia una ansiada y nueva vida puede ser alguien agradable y atento que hará que se despierten en ella sentimientos y emociones difíciles de controlar. Amor y pasión en un nuevo romance histórico de Ana F. Malory. Eve descubrirá que su compañero de viaje hacia una ansiada y nueva vida puede ser alguien agradable y atento que hará que se despierten en ella sentimientos y emociones difíciles de controlar. Rayen McGhee está acostumbrado a llevar una vida tranquila, dedicada a su familia y al trabajo en su rancho de Great Falls, pero desde su viaje a Helena, Montana, y más concretamente, desde que conoció a Evelyn Grey, esa tranquilidad ha desaparecido por completo. La mujer es muy torpe y viajar con ella pondrá a prueba algo más que la paciencia del ranchero, que no tardará en darse cuenta de que la maestra posee carácter, determinación... y unos preciosos ojos verdes en los que no había reparado en un principio. Para Evelyn, haber conseguido el empleo de maestra significa alcanzar un sueño, lograr la estabilidad y la independencia que ansía desde hace años. Tener que viajar con un completo desconocido de escasos modales no le supondrá un problema; se siente demasiado feliz para permitir que los convencionalismos o alguien como el señor McGhee le estropeen el momento. Pero descubrir que su compañero de viaje puede ser agradable y atento despertará el interés de Eve, que, sin poder evitarlo, se sentirá atraída por el apuesto ranchero de ojos azules...

Alguien dice tu nombre
by Luis García MonteroTodo lo que nos afecta permanece en nosotros, aunque se pierda en el tiempo. Una historia de amor e iniciación. Una novela de Luis García Montero. «Todo cambia, pero nos quedan los recuerdos. Se levantarán edificios, se asfaltarán los arrabales, se urbanizarán los descampados, pero tú recordarás siempre la geografía de este verano. La realidad es una alegoría para la memoria. Todo lo que nos afecta permanece en nosotros, aunque se pierda en el tiempo.» En el verano de 1963 España se muestra triste, espesa y encogida. El tiempo parece haberse detenido en el calendario y a todos les duelen los pies al caminar por la vida, como si les hicieran daño los zapatos. Pero en cualquier momento la suerte puede cambiar: por las grietas del presente gotea un poco de esperanza. Este verano seco, caluroso y desatinado es el del despertar de León Egea. Alejado del ambiente claustrofóbico de su pueblo y herido por la literatura, comienza a trabajar en la editorial Universo y vive su primer amor. En los momentos difíciles es importante apostar por el futuro en cómodos o incómodos plazos. Porque el futuro no será de los indiferentes. Pero hay que poner nombre a las cosas. Es lo que las hace reales, lo que les da consistencia. La ciudad detenida en el tiempo es Granada, Consuelo es la mujer bella e inevitable de la que se enamora León y el porvenir no lleva otro nombre que el del compromiso. Sí, todo empieza con el nombre. Reseñas:«Tono sostenido, poderosa nostalgia, emoción delicada que no alza la voz, poesía escueta, ceñida...»Octavio Paz «Parece capaz de contarnos, y de qué manera, lo que habíamos olvidado que sabíamos de nosotros mismos. Luis sirve para hacer afición, para volver a la plaza porque torea José Tomás, para acercarse a las librerías porque ha salido un nuevo libro suyo.»Joaquín Sabina «Es uno de los pocos destinados a la letra grande de la historia de la literatura.»José-Carlos Mainer «Desde que publicó su primer libro, García Montero ha defendido unos objetivos de invariable lucidez y ha logrado que su poesía remita con rigor minucioso a sus ideas estéticas... Y eso lo ha aproximado a lo que suele identificarse con un joven maestro.»José Manuel Caballero Bonald «Una espléndida novela concebida y escrita con una sencillez machadiana.»Ángel Basanta, El Cultural «El retrato de esa España concreta y contradictoria en la que sonaba Paul Anka en las radios mientras seguía prestigiándose la mansedumbre al fuego de la cocina familiar. García Montero reconstruye el paisaje íntimo de un país que comenzaba a ser próspero, pero seguía moralmente devastado.»Pablo Martínez Zarracina, El Correo Español
