by Avi Brian FlocaThe fourth book in the beloved Poppy series by Newbery Medal–winning author Avi, with illustrations from Caldecott Medal–winning artist Brian Floca, is available as an ebook for the first time! Erethizon Dorsatum—better known as Ereth, the self-centered, foul-tempered old porcupine—is having a birthday. And he fully expects his best friend Poppy, a deer mouse, to help him celebrate in a grand manner.But Poppy has gone off somewhere with her husband, Rye, and it appears she has forgotten all about it. "Belching Beavers," says Ereth, "I am not angry!" (Though, perhaps he is—and more than just a little.)Ereth knows his special occasion deserves a special treat—even if he has to get it for himself. And what treat could be more special than tasty salt? But the nearest salt is located deep in the forest, in a cabin occupied by fur hunters, who have set out traps to capture the Dimwood Forest animals. In one of the traps, Ereth finds Leaper the Fox—who, with her dying breath, begs the prickly porcupine to take care of her three boisterous young kits, Tumble, Nimble, and Flip. "Jellied walrus warts!" Ereth exclaims, but reluctantly agrees.Certainly this day is not going as he planned—and it's only just the beginning! Not only does Ereth suddenly have a rambunctious new family to take care of, but he's being stalked by Marty the Fisher, the one creature in Dimwood Forest who can do him harm. And Bounder, the father of the three little foxes, remembers all too well the nose full of quills he got a while back from the grumpy old animal who now fancies himself the leader of the den. He too sets out to show Ereth who's boss.Throw in an unexpected snowstorm, and all in all, it adds up to one birthday Ereth the porcupine is never going to forget, not even if he lives to be a hundred and twenty-two!

An Ermine in Czernopol
by Philip Boehm Gregor Von RezzoriAn NYRB Classics Original. Set just after World War I, An Ermine in Czernopol centers on the tragicomic fate of Tildy, an erstwhile officer in the army of the now-defunct Austro-Hungarian Empire, determined to defend the virtue of his cheating sister-in-law at any cost. Rezzori surrounds Tildy with a host of fantastic characters, engaging us in a kaleidoscopic experience of a city where nothing is as it appears--a city of discordant voices, of wild ugliness and heartbreaking disappointment, in which, however, "laughter was everywhere, part of the air we breathed, a crackling tension in the atmosphere, always ready to erupt in showers of sparks or discharge itself in thunderous peals." This first complete English translation of The Ermine of Czernopol makes a masterpiece of postwar literature available to American readers.

Erotic Attunement: Parenthood and the Ethics of Sensuality between Unequals
by Cristina L. H. TrainaHeightened awareness of the problem of sexual abuse has led to deep anxiety over adults touching children—in nearly any context. Though our society has moved toward increasingly strict enforcement of this taboo, studies have shown that young children need regular human contact, and the benefits of breastfeeding have been widely extolled. Exploring the complicated history of love, desire, gender, sexuality, parenthood, and inequality, Erotic Attunement probes the disquieting issue of how we can draw a clear line between natural affection toward children and perverse exploitation of them. Cristina L. H. Traina demonstrates that we cannot determine what is wrong about sexual abuse without first understanding what is good about appropriate sensual affection. Pondering topics such as the importance of touch in nurturing children, the psychology of abuse and victimhood, and recent ideologies of motherhood, she argues that we must expand our philosophical and theological language of physical love and make a distinction between sexual love and erotic love. Taking on theological and ethical arguments over the question of sexuality between unequals, she arrives at the provocative conclusion that it can be destructive to completely bar eroticism from these relationships.
The Erratics: A Memoir
by Vicki Laveau-Harvie"...a searing, brilliantly-written memoir about a destructive and cunning mother; reads like a novel..." --Margaret Atwood via Twitter In this award-winning memoir, two sisters reckon with the decline and death of their outlandishly tyrannical mother and with the care of their psychologically terrorized father, all relayed with dark humor and brutal honesty.When her elderly mother is hospitalized unexpectedly, Vicki Laveau-Harvie and her sister travel to their parents' ranch home in Alberta, Canada, to help their father. Estranged from their parents for many years, they are horrified by what they discover on their arrival. For years their mother has camouflaged her manic delusions and savage unpredictability, and over the decades she has managed to shut herself and her husband away from the outside world, systematically starving him and making him a virtual prisoner in his own home.Rearranging their lives to be the daughters they were never allowed to be, the sisters focus their efforts on helping their father cope with the unending manipulations of their mother and encounter all the pressures that come with caring for elderly parents. And at every step they have to contend with their mother, whose favorite phrase during their childhood was: "I'll get you and you won't even know I'm doing it."Set against the natural world of the Canadian foothills ("in winter the cold will kill you, nothing personal"), this memoir--at once dark and hopeful--shatters precedents about grief, anger, and family trauma with surprising tenderness and humor.
The Erratics: A Memoir
by Vicki Laveau-HarvieIn this award-winning memoir, two sisters reckon with the convalescence and death of their outlandishly tyrannical mother and the care of their psychologically terrorized father, all relayed with dark humour and brutal honesty.When Vicki and her sister learn their mother has been hospitalized for a broken hip, they return to their parents' home in Alberta to put things back in order. Though their parents disowned them years before, the sisters now reassert themselves in the dysfunctional household: their father, undernourished and suffering from Stockholm syndrome, is unable to see that he is in danger from his outlandish and vindictive wife. Rearranging their lives to be the daughters they were never allowed to be, the sisters focus their efforts on helping their father cope with the unending manipulations of their mother, and must encounter all the characters common in the circus of caretaking--oddball nurses and home helpers; over-opinionated hospital staff who have fallen for their mother's compulsive lies--along with the pressures that come with caring for elderly loved (and sometimes unloved) ones.Set against the natural world of remotest Alberta ("in winter the cold will kill you, nothing personal"), this memoir--at once dark and hopeful--shatters precedents about grief, anger and family trauma with surprising tenderness and humour.

Es Un Lugar Extraño, Inglaterra
by Jack StrangeEste pequeño libro describe algunas de las extrañezas que hacen única a Inglaterra. Comienza por el mismo idioma inglés y detalla hechos y anécdotas extraños relacionados a los deportes, los fantasmas y el amor inglés por la excentricidad -como el deportista que cabalgó desnudo. Además de presentarnos a personas extrañas, nos lleva de paseo por lugares no menos extraños. Por ejemplo, hay un canal que atraviesa el sur de Inglaterra, que fue excavado para detener a las tropas de Bonaparte en una invasión que jamás tuvo lugar. Está también el Gigante de Cerne Abbas, dotado de una impresionante masculinidad, al cual muchas mujeres acudían cuando deseaban convertirse en madres. El misterioso Stonehenge también tiene su parte reservada en este libro. Dada su extrañeza, algunas tradiciones antiguas no han sobrevivido a los tiempos modernos, como la venta de esposas, que alguna vez fue bastante común y que tenía lugar muchas veces con el consentimiento de la misma mujer. El libro se vuelve más serio cuando examina la epidemia de la cacería de brujas del siglo XVII. Para suavizar el tono, hay capítulos dedicados al llamado Club del Fuego Infernal y a los dragones ingleses. ¿Existieron en realidad? De Robin Hood a los asaltantes de caminos y contrabandistas, los relatos del folklore inglés se encargaron de transformar unos cuantos forajidos en héroes gallardos que nunca existieron. También le echa un vistazo a los bailarines de la Danza Morris y al famoso relato de Jack el Saltarín, quien quiera que haya sido. Finalmente, hay un alegre capítulo dedicado a los pubs, tan predominantes en muchos relatos ingleses y que hoy forman parte de la cultura moderna en todo el mundo.
Esa nueva piel: Sobre la maternidad, el duelo y sus alrededores
by Eugenia Tobal«Un testimonio sin imposturas, sin falsos paraísos, sin espejismos. Eugenia Tobal recorre su propia historia, la de su embarazo, su gestación, su parto. E incluye el duelo, esa contradictoria lucha entre la vida y la muerte que nunca imagino vivir de forma tan prematura».Sonia Fides «Dos meses después del nacimiento de Ema, mi madre murió, así que mi soñada y flamante maternidad coincidió con un duelo que en este momento presiento eterno. Sin embargo, qué mejor homenaje puedo brindarles a mi madre y a mi hija que reunirlas en Esa nueva piel, prolongando el encuentro entre las tres, escribiendo nuestro linaje con palabras que van a perdurar en el tiempo». Así anuncia Eugenia Tobal el "paisaje" de su obra. El dolor por la pérdida de su madre y la felicidad por el nacimiento de su primera hija están presentes en cada página con la sutileza de una banda sonora, una melodía suave, honesta, sensible, que resuena por detrás de cada tema que el libro aborda. La propuesta de Esa nueva piel es "demoler mitos y despejar ese suelo tan movedizo que pisamos en la maternidad" y, sobre todo, vivirla sin culpas, sin miedos y con la verdad. Para ello, la autora no solo comparte su experiencia personal, sino que además les da voz a especialistas y a otras mujeres que llegaron a ser madres de diferentes maneras. La voz emotiva, íntegra y delicada de Tobal fluye en cada página, avanza, valiente, por los territorios más espinosos -la maternidad, la muerte, el nacimiento, el duelo- y nos invita a celebrar la vida mirándola siempre de frente.
