Hocus and Pocus and the Snow Day Sorcery
It's time for the town Winter Solstice party and puppies Hocus and Pocus are ready to help out with their own special magic! This sweet series continues with plenty of spells, friends, and snowy fun. Everyone in Inkwell is excited for the Winter Solstice party, including magical puppies Hocus and Pocus. Pocus wants to play in the snow, and Hocus wants to eat snowflakes! Finally, the longest night of the year arrives and everybody turns out to celebrate with maple popcorn, hot cider, and enormous pumpkins (thanks to a plant warlock). The only thing missing is--snow! Without a fresh dusting, how can Hocus and Pocus's friends make snow sculptures and race snowflakes? The puppies notice a new striped tent at the edge of the party: Nimbus the Sorcerer! Handmade Wishes! Hocus and Pocus know just what to wish for. Nimbus pulls a tiny snowglobe from behind their back, and says to be careful--this is a very big, very delicate wish. The puppies try, but their excitement gets away from them, and soon it is TOO snowy for the party (and Hocus's feet are pawsicles!). Luckily, the citizens of Inkwell have a few cozy charms up their sleeves. This latest adventure glows with warmth and winter magic.Sold out -
Depraved Obsession: The Gripping True Story Of Law Enforcement's Hunt For A Sadistic Serial Killer
What drove the inconspicuous sociopath to become a ruthless killer?
During his nearly fifteen-year reign of terror, Ronald Lloyd Bailey's depraved obsession with sexual sadism held communities across southeast Michigan in a shroud of fear. From the early 1970's to the mid-1980's, the former patient at one of Michigan's foremost psychiatric hospitals, abducted as many as fifteen teens and over time became a sadistic serial killer.
In this shocking, fast-paced account, retired police officer and true crime author Rod Sadler examines law enforcement's dedicated efforts in connecting the dots to stop an unknown killer, and he poignantly chronicles the determination of the victims' families to triumph over tragedy.
Sadler also examines Bailey's insanity defense that centered on the alleged abuse he endured at the hands of his psychiatrist. In doing so, the bestselling author of KILLING WOMEN asks and answers the question: What drove the inconspicuous sociopath to become a ruthless killer?

Sold outBallot
Object Lessons is a series of short, beautifully designed books about the hidden lives of ordinary things.
Ballot examines the psychological, cultural, and political significance of voting in an increasingly anti-voting climate. Armed with her personal experiences as a poll worker, electoral organizer, and activist, Anjali Enjeti unspools a timely narrative about the precarious state of the ballot during one of the most tumultuous political eras in US history, and recounts the astonishing events leading up to the 2024 presidential election. Enjeti lays out the growing challenges for voters in battleground states, where rightwing legislatures have introduced staggering numbers of voter suppression bills and redrawn district lines, all to disenfranchise as many Black and other marginalized voters as possible. As her account of the history and stakes of election integrity shows, the aftershocks of the Capitol insurrection on January 6, 2021 have manifested most egregiously on the four corners of the ballot.Sold out -
Sold outSecret Lives of the Elements
'The perfect book to escape our human-sized existence and take a tour of the atomic world instead.' Helen Arney, science comedian and broadcaster
When we think of the periodic table we picture orderly rows of elements that conform to type and never break the rules. In this book Kathryn Harkup reveals that there are personalities, passions, quirks and historical oddities behind those ordered rows, and shows us that the periodic table is a sprawling family tree with its own black sheep, wayward cousins and odd uncles. The elements in the periodic table, like us, are an extended family - some old, some newborn, some shy and reticent, some exuberant or unreliable.
Dr Harkup tells the weird and wonderful stories of just fifty two members of this family - remarkable tales of discovery, inspiration and revolution, from the everyday to the extraordinary. Some elements are relatively anonymous; others, already familiar, are seen in a new light; and old friends have surprising secrets to share. From our green-fingered friend magnesium to the devil incarnate polonium, this eclectic collection of engaging and informative stories will change the way you see the periodic table for ever.

Sensing Qualia: Solving the Hard Problem of Consciousness
A new, naturalistic theory of consciousness and sensory experience. Philosophers of mind and neuroscientists often debate what they call the hard problem of consciousness, that is, how we might account for qualia--our subjective experiences of phenomena like color, taste, pain, smell, and more. In Sensing Qualia, Paul G. Skokowski surveys the most influential theories of mind since Descartes in order to establish a new theory he calls sensory naturalism, which recognizes the senses as natural detectors of physical properties in the world. Drawing on neuroscience, physics, and philosophy, Skokowski provides a naturalistic framework for studying qualia in the physical world and explores the limits of qualia in androids and AI. The result is a compelling explanation of qualia for anyone curious about the nature of conscious experience in humans and AI. -
Poems to Night
This collection of haunting, mystical poems of the night by the great Rainer Maria Rilke is the only English translation to bring them all together In 1916, Rainer Maria Rilke presented his friend Rudolf Kassner with a notebook, containing 22 poems meticulously inscribed in his own hand and bearing the title Poems to Night. This evocative sequence of poems, which echoes some of the great themes of German romanticism, is now thought to represent one of the key stages in the creative breakthrough and spiritual evolution of the preeminent European poet of the twentieth century. This translation was the 1st to bring all the poems together in English and is enhanced by the translator's valuable introduction and a rich selection of further poems Rilke dedicated to night at various stages of his life, providing fascinating insight into Rilke's development. The poems recall all of the great poet's important themes: death and longing, the troubling reconciliation of beauty and suffering, and a search for transcendance. These deep questions circle the imagery of night in Rilke's intensely lyrical style: darkness, the stars and the moon wheel through the verses, and the play of light and dark beomes an evocation of life's duality. No other poet was as singularly devoted to beauty or as capable of gifting its consolations to the reader--a volume to cherish on stormy nights and peaceful ones. -

GLP-1 Diet for Women: A Beginner's Guide to Understanding GLP-1 and a 5-Step Plan to Naturally Activate It with Recipes & Meal Plans
Managing body weight is a deeply personal and often challenging experience for many women. Unlike men, women face unique hurdles linked to their biology, hormones, and life stages. From stubborn belly fat to emotional eating driven by stress or hormonal changes, the weight-loss path is rarely straightforward. What works for one person may not work for others, especially when traditional diets take a "one-size-fits-all" approach.
This is where understanding glucagon-like peptide-1, or GLP-1, comes in. GLP-1 is a natural hormone produced in your gut that plays a crucial role in how your body regulates appetite, digestion, and energy storage.
Think of it as your body's internal communicator, signaling your brain when you're full, managing blood sugar, and even encouraging fat to be used as energy. For women, this hormone can be particularly powerful, addressing some of the biological challenges that make weight loss more difficult compared to men.
Hormonal fluctuations, such as those tied to menstrual cycles, pregnancy, menopause, or conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), can often disrupt appetite control and fat storage. By learning how GLP-1 functions and how to activate it naturally, women can harness its potential to control cravings, stabilize energy levels, and make lasting weight management more achievable.
In this guide, we will talk about the following:
How GLP-1 Affects Women's Bodies
Why Women Gain (and Struggle to Lose) Weight
The 5-Step Plan to Naturally Activate GLP-1
The GLP-1 Diet for Women - Meal Plans & Recipes
GLP-1-Friendly Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner Recipes
Tailoring the Plan for Different Life Stages
The Emotional Side of Weight Loss & How to Stay Motivated
Troubleshooting Common Challenges
Beyond 30 Days - Making the GLP-1 Lifestyle Sustainable
By the end of this guide, you'll not only understand how GLP-1 impacts your body but also feel empowered to make smarter choices that support your health and well-being for the long term.

My father made a terrible mistake. One I'm left paying for.
As a wolf shifter growing up in a strong pack, I should be living my best life. But after my father tried to kill our leader, I'm labeled an outcast, traitor, less than dirt.

Before the Flood: A Gaza Family Memoir Across Three Generations of Colonial Invasion, Occupation, and War in Palestine
The social, political, and historical context of the current Israeli-Palestinian War told through the stories of the author's family and village. "Ramzy Baroud's sensitive, thoughtful, searching writing penetrates to the core of moral dilemmas."--Noam Chomsky A profound exploration of Palestinian history and resilience through the personal stories of the author's family--the al-Badrasawis. Beginning with intimate details of village life in Beit Daras prior to the Nakba, Ramzy Baroud vividly portrays the rich cultural heritage, deeply rooted traditions, and daily struggles faced by ordinary people whose lives were radically disrupted by the violent upheavals and ongoing conflicts driven by British colonialism and Zionist aggression. Baroud weaves together past and present, illuminating how historical forces shaped the collective consciousness and steadfast resilience of the Palestinian people. His storytelling reveals not only the harsh realities of occupation, displacement, and loss but also the extraordinary courage, faith, and solidarity that underpin a powerful and enduring spirit of resistance, encapsulated in what the author refers to as the Palestinian "longue durée." Ultimately, Baroud aims to humanize and reclaim Palestinian narratives from distorted portrayals, highlighting their perseverance and the universal quest for justice and liberation. -

"Another winner from a proven author."--Booklist
The stand-alone companion to Rosanne Parry's New York Times bestseller A Wolf Called Wander tells the story of a wolf named Warm. Warm is not the strongest or biggest in his pack, but when he needs it most, he finds within himself the heart of a true leader. This Voice of the Wilderness Novel is an animal survival story illustrated in black and white throughout. Features educational back matter, including a map.
Warm is the smallest pup, the one his father calls the heart of the pack. But all Warm sees is his bigger brothers Sharp and Swift, even his sisters Pounce and Wag, winning all the wrestling matches. Warm finds his place in the pack helping take care of the young pups, a role he is assured is important, but doesn't always feel like it is.
When enemy wolves attack, the pack is forced to defend themselves. Instead of joining the fight, Warm leads the pups away to safety, only to find himself alone on the mountain with four helpless pups. His pack has scattered. The pups are his responsibility now. Fearful and uncertain, Warm and the pups climb higher and higher into the mountains. Their journey is grueling, lonely, and full of danger, and they face hunger, storms, fire, and enemy wolves nipping at their heels. Will Warm have the courage to be the leader his pack needs when the fiercest enemy of all comes to challenge him? Will Warm and the pups ever find a place to call home?
