Death isn't finished with them yet.

Sarai believed the worst was behind her. However, months after exposing the government's corruption in what has now been deemed "the Great Unravelling," she faces scorn from citizens who preferred her and Kadra as the underdogs. Worse, eerie omens rock the country: from a deadly plague outbreak to a sweeping madness that leave the afflicted ranting of an approaching reckoning. Accused of angering the gods, Sarai returns to the only place that can clear her name: Ur Dinyé's frozen north. But among the secrets buried in its ice are Kadra's.

When historical tensions between the north and the south worsen, a powerful religious order seizes control in the chaos, led by a man whose very voice can kill--Noceo bu Kader. Trapped between love and a crumbling country, Sarai and Kadra must outwit a power with roots as deep in fear as in cruelty. But the gods are always watching, and Sarai and Kadra may not escape a second time.

"Are you happy with your life?"

Those are the last words Jason Dessen hears before the masked abductor knocks him unconscious.

Before he awakens to find himself strapped to a gurney, surrounded by strangers in hazmat suits. Before a man Jason's never met smiles down at him and says, "Welcome back, my friend."

In this world he's woken up to, Jason's life is not the one he knows. His wife is not his wife. His son was never born. And Jason is not an ordinary college physics professor but a celebrated genius who has achieved something remarkable. Something impossible.

Is it this world or the other that's the dream? And even if the home he remembers is real, how can Jason possibly make it back to the family he loves? The answers lie in a journey more wondrous and horrifying than anything he could've imagined--one that will force him to confront the darkest parts of himself even as he battles a terrifying, seemingly unbeatable foe.

Dark Matter is a brilliantly plotted tale that is at once sweeping and intimate, mind-bendingly strange and profoundly human--a relentlessly surprising science-fiction thriller about choices, paths not taken, and how far we'll go to claim the lives we dream of.

El primer libro de Isabel Viña Bas, la doctora que ha revolucionado la divulgación científica.

Escrito desde el rigor científico, Pon tus hormonas a funcionar es un viaje hacia la salud, asequible para todas aquellas personas que quieran aprender más acerca del funcionamiento de su cuerpo, a la par que una herramienta práctica para todos los profesionales de la salud.

Nuestro cuerpo está vivo, en constante movimiento. Desde moléculas que duran apenas unos segundos, como el óxido nítrico, hasta otras que se mantienen vivas durante semanas, como el colágeno, todo funciona según distintos tiempos. Y gracias a esa diversidad de "vidas" y ritmos, el cuerpo se adapta y se regula constantemente para mantenerse en equilibrio.

Para lograr ese orden mágico, una de las herramientas más importantes que tenemos son las hormonas, mensajeros químicos que viajan por la sangre desde una glándula que las produce hasta los tejidos donde tienen que actuar. Una vez allí, se unen a su receptor específico y activan distintas respuestas, como si fuera una llave que encaja perfectamente en su cerradura.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

The first book by Isabel Viña Bas, the doctor who revolutionized scientific outreach.

Based on rigorous scientific research, Put Your Hormones to Work is a blueprint for health for everyone who wants to understand their body and how it works, as well as a practical tool for medical professionals.

Our bodies are living organisms, in constant movement. From molecules that last just a few seconds, such as nitric oxide, to others that stay active for weeks, such as collagen, each has its own schedule and role. Thanks to these diverse "lives" and rhythms, our bodies constantly adapt and regulate themselves to stay in balance.

Among the most important tools for achieving that equilibrium are hormones, chemical messengers that travel from the glands that produce them through the bloodstream to the body's tissues. Once there, they latch on to specific receptors and activate different types of responses, like keys fitting into a lock.

Throughout the eastern United States, hundreds of colleges and universities own acres of forested lands. These holdings range from modest parcels like Virginia Tech's eleven-acre Stadium Woods to more substantial tracts like Rutgers University's five-hundred-acre William L. Hutcheson Memorial Forest in New Jersey.

This book features fifteen notable campus forests in eleven states in the eastern United States, stretching from North Georgia, on up through the Ohio Valley and the mid-Atlantic region, into coastal Maine. The schools range from small religious colleges to state land-grant schools and Ivy League universities. The forests represent diverse ecosystems and attitudes on management: Some are left wild, notable for their tracts of old growth, while others are more contained or controlled, intended more for recreation than conservation or research. Many of these woodlands face considerable challenges: While some are protected in perpetuity, others are threatened by money troubles and development. All face ecological threats. But each reflects the various ways it serves its campus and local community: as a place for research, recreation, and preservation.

Woodlands of the Mind serves as a travel book for wanderers and armchair adventurers alike. These fifteen narratives, or "rambles," guide readers through forests that range from small, hidden parks to vast preserves. Like an engaging travel companion, the essays discuss each forest's ecology, landscape architecture, and history--especially the history of American universities and the relationship between higher education and land management and protection.

THEY GROW UP SO FAST!Annette's mother is revealed to be tangled up in cloak-and-dagger matters herself, enemy spies and military intelligence are closing in from all sides, Monika thinks the whole charade is too risky and is willing to fight Thea to put a stop to it, and Klaus has probably caught on to what the dangerously independent half of Lamplight are up to...It's starting to seem like the girls' extracurricular espionage is not going to simply end with a happy family reunion. But just maybe, if "Dreamspeaker" Thea manages things right and the team plays to its strengths, Forgetter and Lamplight will come out of this fiasco better spies than ever...!

She's a single mom, a devoted daughter, and an Indy 500 hopeful daring to dream in an exhilarating and emotional novel about family, ambition, and second chances.

Mack Williams was the next big thing in motorsports. Until her wild ways forced her to leave racing in her rearview mirror. Ten years later, she's a single mom in rural Indiana, with a struggling family business and a dad who needs full-time care. The fastest woman on four wheels now drives car pool, her dreams turned to dust.

But Mack's childhood idol, Janet Joyner, still sees the spark. Famed for breaking gender barriers on the track, Janet gives Mack a last-ditch chance to qualify for the coveted Indy 500. Mack thought her days of impulsive choices were over, but she can't say no, whatever the risks--moving in with her estranged sister, facing down her daughter's absentee father, and working with Mack's new teammate, Leo. He's gorgeous, supportive, and every kind of distraction Mack can't afford.

Juggling her personal life with a professional dream close within reach, Mack won't let a second chance slip away again. Win or lose, the stakes have never been higher.

UNA BUENA CHICA SIEMPRE ESCONDE UN ALMA SALVAJE.

PERO SOLO UN BUEN COWBOY PUEDE LIBERARLA.

ELLA ES UNA CHICA DE CIUDAD.

Aitana lleva mucho tiempo esforzándose por alcanzar la vida perfecta: un piso lujoso, un aspecto impecable y la promesa de un ascenso en el bufete donde trabaja. Para lograrlo, debe aceptar el caso más extraño de su carrera, una demanda a un rancho vaquero perdido entre montañas.

ÉL ES UN COWBOY SOLITARIO.

Al principio le parece una broma (¿existen siquiera los ranchos fuera de las películas del Oeste?), pero está dispuesta a todo por triunfar, así que decide infiltrarse como una turista más. Allí conocerá a Abel, un auténtico cowboy, a quien no le hace ninguna gracia tener a una chica de ciudad rondando por sus tierras.

¿Qué está pasando en Rancho Perdido?

¿Qué secretos oculta Abel?

¿Y por qué Aitana no puede dejar de pensar en ese vaquero sarcástico y solitario

Adéntrate en el paraíso cowboy.

Te damos la bienvenida a RANCHO PERDIDO.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A GOOD GIRL ALWAYS HIDES A WILD SOUL.

ONLY A GOOD COWBOY CAN RELEASE IT.

SHE'S A CITY GIRL.

Aitana has spent so long trying to build the perfect life: a luxury apartment, impeccable good looks and now, the promise of a promotion at the law firm where she works. To seal the deal, she is challenged with the strangest case of her career: a lawsuit against a cowboy ranch deep in the mountains.

HE IS A LONE COWBOY.

At first, it seems like a joke (do ranches even exist outside of Wild West movies?). But Aitana is determined to prevail and comes up with a strategy to infiltrate the ranch as a tourist. There she meets Abel, a real-life cowboy, who isn't at all pleased to have a city girl nosing around his land.

What's really going on at Rancho Perdido?

What secrets is Abel hiding?

And why can't Aitana stop thinking about this sarcastic and solitary cowboy?

Welcome to cowboy paradise.

Welcome to RANCHO PERDIDO.

You can't always judge a book by its cover--a life lesson Richard's learning the hard way after the true identity of the handsome stranger in Murga is revealed! This mysterious human has sinister ties to not only Ravi...but possibly Subaru too?! Not that Richard can do much about it right now, especially since he still can't properly control his magic. He's come up with a foolproof plan, though--ask the peculiar old witch lady for help and soon he'll be ready for anything that comes his way!

All aboard for the first comprehensive history of the hard-working and wildly influential Northeast Corridor.

Traversed by thousands of trains and millions of riders, the Northeast Corridor might be America's most famous railway, but its influence goes far beyond the right-of-way. David Alff welcomes readers aboard to see how nineteenth-century train tracks did more than connect Boston to Washington, DC. They transformed hundreds of miles of Atlantic shoreline into a political capital, a global financial hub, and home to fifty million people. The Northeast Corridor reveals how freight trains, commuter rail, and Amtrak influenced--and in turn were shaped by--centuries of American industrial expansion, metropolitan growth, downtown decline, and revitalization.

Paying as much attention to Canton, Trenton, New Rochelle, and Providence as to New York City, Philadelphia, and Baltimore, Alff provides narrative thrills for history buffs, train enthusiasts, and adventurers alike. What's more, he offers a glimpse into the future of the corridor. New infrastructural plans--supported by President Joe Biden, famously Amtrak's biggest fan--envision ever-faster trains zipping along technologically advanced rails. Yet those tracks will literally sit atop a history that links the life of Frederick Douglass, who fled to freedom by boarding a train in Baltimore, to the Frederick Douglass Tunnel, which is expected to be the newest link in the corridor by 2032.

Trains have long made the places that make America, and they still do.

In a final curse aimed at both the world that stole his freedom and Mynoghra, Flamin detonates himself. Isla huddles over Caria and Maria, grievously wounded after shielding the twins from the fiery carnage. The fallout from Flamin's choice will not be confined to the crater left in his place. Instead, it will shatter Mynoghra from within. Swallowed by an abyss of despair and regret, the Elfuur sisters emerge with renewed hatred and unfathomable power, while Takuto--realizing all he's lost and has left to lose--charts a terrifying new course for his wicked nation...

"¡Bienvenidas, bienvenides y bienvenidos al Mictlán de las Morras Malditas!

A partir de este momento abrimos la puerta a historias de vivos y muertos.

Quédense con nosotras, apaguemos la luz y entremos a la noche."

Mucho más que leyendas, las historias que aquí narran Janis y Maldo hacen resonar las voces de personas que han experimentado el miedo, el misterio y lo inexplicable, a lo largo de un viaje delirante por sus lugares de origen: la sierra de la mixteca, en Oaxaca y el desierto de Sonora, dos latitudes dispares y complementarias, cargadas de memoria, simbolismo y de ese chicloso sobrenatural que ellas nos han hecho sentir en cada uno de sus programas.", Ave Barrera.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

"Welcome to Mictlán de las Morras Malditas!

As of this moment, we'll be opening the door to stories about the living and the dead.

Join us as we turn off the lights and embrace the night."

"Much more than legends, the stories Janis and Maldo share channel the voices of people with first-hand experience of fear, mystery and unexplained phenomena. They take us on a mind-bending journey to the lands of their birth: the mountains of the Sierra Mixteca in Oaxaca and the Sonoran Desert. These two very different geographies complement each other with their rich legacies of memory, symbolism and supernatural thrills that come through in every episode of their podcast." - Ave Barrera.

This thrilling installment of the Dark Gods finds each of the heirs desperately attempting to pick up the shattered pieces of their lives. But gods don't stay defeated for long, and soon an old enemy threatens the very existence of their realm.

In the aftermath of the chaos and tragedy of Godsnight, the recovering heirs struggle to determine their next moves. But when Phos, the god of light, stages an attack on their home in a bid for cosmic control, the heirs decide to take the fight to Phos's own realm of Solara.

Yet Solara hasn't gone unscathed. It is being terrorized by an assassin named the Sunslayer targeting those in Phos's bloodline, whose methods are troublingly familiar. As tensions run high and the Solarians prove reluctant to trust outsiders, Nikolas, Rian, and Julian set off to capture the Sunslayer to forge a delicate truce. Meanwhile, Angelica, Risha, and Dante search for a way to defeat Phos for good. But with adversaries closing in from every direction, the heirs will need to trust in one another if they want to survive long enough to take down a god.

That is, if they can survive the Sunslayer first.

In these deftly written stories of the fantastic, Christopher Caldwell unravels the complicities of personhood and gender, slavery and war. Winner of the Crawford Award.

Saints and sailors, scoundrels and surfers.

Caldwell's characters appear in contrasting duets-first notes during the initial half, and then again in counterpoint, when the dominoes fall in the second half.

In addition to collecting incredible stories previously published in venues like FIYAH, Strange Horizons, and Uncanny, Call and Response also features the original short story "The Lonesome Sea."

advance praise forCALL AND RESPONSE

"Throughout, Caldwell brings his all-Black, mostly queer protagonists to vivid life while exploring the collision of the natural and the supernatural. This stuns."

-Publishers Weekly (starred review)

"Call and Response is a great showcase for Christopher's particular gift: his sophisticated prose, so changeable from story to story, but always distinctive in voice, playful and masterful in style!"

-Kai Ashante Wilson, author of A Taste of Honey

"I am so glad I get to live in the time-space where Christopher Caldwell is creating. And so happy to see these horny, heartbreaking, world-changing stories gathered together in one truly staggering collection."

-Sam J. Miller, author of Boys, Beasts & Men

"Christopher Caldwell's stories are lyrical and wondrous, his gaze unflinching and kind. Here are visions of doomed whaling voyages, bank robbers on the run from arcane enforcers, desperate characters confronting the world's evils, gods and saints, betrayals and joys. Caldwell calls us to witness the world as it is and as it could be. The tales in Call and Response are magic: they'll transform you."

-Izzy Wasserstein, author of These Fragile Graces, This Fugitive Heart

"Call and Response is one of the most honest, brutal and beautiful collections of short work I've ever read. It is full of love and pain and a will to not just endure, but thrive. Caldwell's rich characterization and voice infuses every story with a flesh and blood heart-a heart that will leap from the page and beat in time with your own. I am in awe of this collection. Thank you for writing it."

-Suzan Palumbo, author of Skin Thief: Stories and Countess.
