Galinda (Deluxe Limited Edition): A Charmed Childhood
In this sister volume to Elphie, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Wicked Gregory Maguire shares the eagerly awaited origin story of Galinda, the pink-clad, effervescent, and popular favorite character.
A deluxe limited edition hardcover featuring stenciled edges, designed endpapers, and more--is available for a limited time while supplies last!
Who was Glinda the Good Witch before she floated down in her bubble to greet Dorothy? Who was Glinda before she became Elphaba Thropp's magnetic and popular roommate at Shiz University?
Well, before then, she was Galinda. With a "ga."
The youngest of four children in a high-born family down on their luck, Galinda is both pampered and ignored. Her natural grace promises to elevate her in the district dance competitions--but these efforts distract her from seeing the growing resentments of local merchants who disapprove of her family's business strategies. Enmired in the self-satisfactions and unnamed timidities of childhood, Galinda finds in herself neither canniness nor the need to cultivate it. However, as her father deftly pivots around the snares and nets laid for him by his competitors, Galinda begins to dance toward a life that might lift her above her proud, if hardscrabble, childhood.
Galinda reveals the girl behind the bubbly, shallow cliché--offering fans of Wicked their first richer glimpse into the life of a beloved and iconic character.

Zen and the Art of Persuasive Writing
Why is legal prose so hard to read? One reason is obvious: Legal writers rarely think about their audience. When legal writers account for the preferences and expectations of their readers, legal writing can be sublime. Lucid. Easy to navigate and simple to understand. This species of legal writing leaps from the page to grab its readers by the collar, holding their interest and attention to the very last word. It is comfortably understood, employs concrete words and concrete grammar, shows - not tells - with concrete facts and concrete arguments. And this motivates the reader forward. Zen and the Art of Persuasive Writing tackles abstract questions in fresh and relatable ways, imbuing the dharma of mindfulness and cognitive science into the conversation on persuasive and legal writing. It dissects persuasive writing into 9 mantras:- Be aware of the audience. Persuasive writers understand that readers and writers are separated by time and distance, so they channel the readers to prognosticate and answer questions.
- Be less categorical. Persuasive writers know that few rules are absolute.
- Be clear and concrete. Persuasive prose conveys hard facts and ideas in plain and simple words.
- Be concise. A persuasive writer severs the meaningful from the meaningless. He is focused and assured.
- Be cohesive and coherent. Persuasive prose is easy on the eyes and simple to navigate.
- Be compelling. A persuasive writer holds the attention and interest of his readers for long enough to move their hearts and minds.
- Be credible. A persuasive writer earns his reputation with colleagues and the courts, knowing a fine reputation is not purchased or invoked.
- Be a reader and writer. A persuasive writer reads and reverse-engineers the language, style and approach of stuff he likes.
- Be meticulous and rewrite. A persuasive writer toils to ensure the audience will understand the point. He knows that persuasive prose is the end product of many drafts and myriad decisions.

Elizabeth II: In Private. in Public. Her Story.
A celebration of the life of Queen Elizabeth II on the centenary of her birth, by the bestselling author of The Making of a King and Queen of Our Times. Elizabeth II was not born to reign. Like that other great queen in modern history, Victoria, the throne came to her by indirect means. Yet she would become one of the most beloved monarchs in history, surpassing almost every entry in the royal record book. As a child, her idyllic life on the royal fringe was transformed first by the scandalous love life of her wayward uncle and then by war. Despite multiple attacks on the family home, she watched and learned from her father has he led his nation through much suffering to victory, falling in love along the way. At the age of just twenty-five--a young wife and mother of two--she suddenly found herself head of state of much of the Earth, with the greatest statesman of the age as her senior adviser. Her coronation was a moment of national rejuvenation, though swiftly followed by the first of many challenges and crises - personal, political, and global - which would test her over seven decades. The highs and lows of ordinary family life, for her, would be mercilessly scrutinised and magnified through the lens of the world's media. Unlike Shakespeare's monarchs, the dramatists would set to work in her own lifetime. Yet she also managed to remain an endlessly fascinating mystery to the end, revered and mourned worldwide. No one has written more authoritatively on the life of Elizabeth II than Robert Hardman, the only biographer to have interviewed the entire Royal Family. On the centenary of her birth, amid all the commemorating and celebrating, it is time to bring the whole extraordinary story of her life to a new audience in a fresh, accessible, concise portrait--one which will enthrall those who have now come to realize that Elizabeth II was not merely the most famous woman in the world, captured on banknotes, coins, and The Crown. She was one of history's all-time greats, and this finely-written and original narrative reveals why.Sold out -

Beyond Mysticism: The Modern Northwest
Demonstrates what made Modernist art in the Puget Sound region unique
In the early twentieth century, the Puget Sound region was home to a progressive artistic and cultural scene shaped by the region's rapid urbanization, its singular natural environment, and its orientation to the Pacific Rim. This generative milieu was fertile ground for four well-known Modernist artists--Guy Anderson, Kenneth Callahan, Morris Graves, and Mark Tobey--known as "mystics" for their shared admiration of the Pacific Northwest landscape and perceived alignment with Asian and Northwest Coast Native cultures. Beyond Mysticism: The Modern Northwest situates these artists within the broader history of Modern art in the Pacific Northwest through an exploration of key themes: industrialization, ecocriticism, Surrealism, and Abstract Expressionism. This exhibition catalog retells the fascinating story of Northwestern Modernism to reveal the range, complexity, and significance of local Modernists--including Fay Chong, William Cumming, Z. Vanessa Helder, Kenjiro Nomura, Albert Smith Sr., Kamekichi Tokita, Julius Twohy, and James Washington Jr.--within the context of American Modernism. -
