"This is a treat for bird lovers." -- Publishers Weekly

The Bird with Flaming Red Feet is a lively and heartfelt natural history of the Pigeon Guillemot, a charismatic seabird with a surprising story to tell. Found along the coast around the North Pacific and from Alaska to Southern California, this talkative and often-overlooked bird plays an outsized role in the health of marine ecosystem--earning its status as an "indicator species," especially for Washington's Puget Sound.

Author and longtime volunteer surveyor Maria Mudd Ruth weaves together science, field observation, and community storytelling in this engaging exploration of one bird's life. Drawing from over a decade of beachside study, she dives deep into the guillemot's behaviors, quirky traits, and ecological relationships. Along the way, readers meet the passionate citizen scientists who have built a unique community around caring for and studying this vibrant bird.

Bridging the gap between field guide and memoir, The Bird with Flaming Red Feet invites readers to slow down, look closely, and reconnect with the wild places--and creatures--just outside their door. It's a joyful call to observation, stewardship, and a deeper understanding of our coastal world.

The first book to address campus crises that's by and for faculty, staff, and students-the true heart of higher ed and the people who make it work.

Higher education is in crisis-and there's no shortage of books by campus leaders about how to fix it. This volume is by and for the rest of us-the faculty, staff, and students who comprise the lion's share of campus populations. It is our values, livelihoods, and prospects for success that are most threatened by these crises-and, often, by top-level administrators' responses to them. The volume brings together more than forty contributors from colleges and universities across the United States and beyond. Essays address a range of aspects of the current polycrisis, including declarations of financial exigency, program closures and faculty layoffs, campus closures, political interference, and outbreaks of violence. Authors draw on their own experiences-and those of their colleagues and students-to share what worked, what didn't, and what they learned along the way. If crisis hasn't come to your campus yet, don't worry, it will. When it does, this book will help.

The kids at school aren't friendly, and she feels sad. One day, Kayla runs to the woods, where she meets Brutus, a big, gentle dog who talks!

With Brutus by her side, Kayla sets off on a magical adventure full of bravery to find home, friendship, and belly laughs. But can a talking dog really help her find her way home-and can they even have fun along the way?

A woman who's always been defined as a wife, mother, and rule follower makes the complicated choice to put her own happiness first in this stunning novel that's perfect for readers of Miranda July, Taffy Brodesser-Akner, and Sarah Manguso.

Annie and Hector have been hosting their friends Candace, Edouard, and their son, Remy, in the guest house of their Connecticut home for many months while their friends' home undergoes renovations. As a thank-you, Candace gifts Annie French lessons with twenty-six-year-old local French tutor, Thierry. Hector, an actor, goes to film on location, leaving Annie--newly bereaving her mother--to single-parent their two kids.

As the lessons progress, she finds herself unexpectedly vulnerable to the charms of a man closer in age to her own teenage daughter than to her own. A new life for Annie emerges, one she could never have foreseen.

Told over the course of one year, through the shifting perspectives of wife, husband, lover, best friend and children, Walger paints a contradictory, nuanced portrait of a woman who walks away from every role that tradition and society have expected of her.

Morir es tan difícil como inevitable. También para los que sobreviven.

El primer día que tuve que limpiarle el culo a mi padre, me mentí diciéndome que era igual que cuando se lo limpiaba a mi hijo: venga, Carmen, que es lo mismo; va, Carmen, que es tu padre; venga, mujer, que ese hombre te limpió el culo a ti.

Me lo repetía como quien está a punto de correr para darse impulso y saltar.

Es lo mismo, Carmen. Hazlo ya.

Pero no. No es lo mismo.

Si Pedro Simón fuera un panadero, diríamos que la masa madre de sus novelas son las relaciones familiares. Un ingrediente aparentemente sencillo y abundante pero absolutamente fundamental en la historia de la literatura.

Tras ganar el Premio Primavera de Novela con Los ingratos, una historia que ha conmovido a decenas de miles de lectores, volvió a apuntar al corazón con Los incomprendidos. Sin que se nos haya aflojado el nudo en la garganta, el autor nos ofrece ahora su novela más difícil pero también más universal: ¿cómo se enfrentan los miembros de una familia a la inevitable decadencia y muerte de sus mayores?

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Dying is as hard as it is inevitable. Even for the ones who stay behind.

The first time I had to wipe my dad's butt, I told myself it was just like when I did it for my son: come on, Carmen, it's the same; you've got this, Carmen, he's your dad; c'mon, girl, that man used to clean your butt too.

I kept saying it to myself like someone psyching up for a sprint to launch into a jump.

It's the same, Carmen. Just do it.

But it's not. It's not the same.

If Pedro Simón were a baker, we'd say the sourdough starter of his novels is family relationships. A seemingly simple and abundant ingredient, but absolutely essential in the history of literature.

After winning the Primavera Novel Prize with Los ingratos, a story that moved tens of thousands of readers, he went straight for the heart again with Los incomprendidos. And before we've even had a chance to catch our breath, he hits us with his toughest--and most universal--novel yet: how do the members of a family face the inevitable decline and death of their elders?

Winner of the Ambroggio Prize of the Academy of American Poets

This award-winning bilingual collection intertwines the lives of a Renaissance painter and a modern migrant worker, offering a fresh perspective on art and migration.

In this highly imaginative work, the lives of the northern Renaissance painter Hieronymus Bosch (1450-1516) and an imagined contemporary migrant worker named Juan Coyoc, later known as Juan Domínguez, run in parallel as they mirror each other across languages, time, and continents.

By comparing and at times intertwining these two poetic narratives, the book explores themes of art, migration, narco-violence, family, spirituality, and the idea that every human being represents all humanity at any moment in history. Both Hieronymus Bosch and Juan Domínguez become relatable and intimate figures, part of our own story.

Written in simple, sharp language, the book employs surprising imagery and a novel structure to blur the boundaries between reality and fiction, while examining the intricacies of the human condition--from the life of Saint Anthony to the violent acts of narcos across Central America and the U.S.-Mexico border. With formal sophistication and philosophical depth, this work enriches the tradition of poetry about both migration and art, contributing to the literary heritage of Mexico and the United States over the past several decades.

What's it like to have been born in Tombstone, Arizona?

In Reckon, artist Logan Phillips returns to the fabled town to face the history he was raised on as a boy--gunfights, outlaws, and Hollywood cowboys--for a new, personal confrontation with the West's foundational mythology. This hybrid memoir also explores sexuality, masculinity, parenting, and what it means to love a land rife with contradiction and "slathered in murder."

As innovative as it is moving, this memoir is constructed of essays, photography, poetry, newspaper clippings from the Tombstone Epitaph Local Edition, and of course, movie screenplays. As he writes the characters of his past--including Youngfather and Teenme--Phillips finds the real history to be much more complex than the stories he was told. This is Tombstone in the 1980s and 90s, a century after the West's most famous gunfight--a fifteen-second event still performed every day in historical reenactments--where Phillips's father works as a historical exhibit designer at the Courthouse Museum and his uncle as a stuntman at Old Tucson Studios.

With an original, searing voice, Reckon is an essential answer to the tough questions of past and future, inheritance and reinvention, all from the perspective of a boy stuck in the middle.

An inspiring new take on a history we thought we knew

In 1919, the brother of one of the West's most famous Indian traders was shot to death in a remote corner of the Navajo Nation.

Part history, part true crime, The Sons of Gunshooter reexamines the killing and subsequent murder trial, while simultaneously embedding the story in a much larger saga of colonization and resistance. The result is a book that's sweeping in its scope and surgical in its approach. Rewinding the clock to 1868, the authors follow the intertwining paths of two families to offer a riveting, deeply personal account that has been hailed as "a new way of doing historiography."

One of the authors is a descendant of participants in the case; the other is an investigative journalist. By merging Diné oral traditions with archival evidence, they succeed in upending one false narrative after another.
