Every Man: Why Violence Against Women Is a Men's Issue, and How You Can Make a Difference
A paradigm-shifting book about men's violence against women, how it affects us all, and what men especially can do to stop it.
Pervasive misogyny-magnified by "manosphere" figures like Andrew Tate and his many imitators-is not a fringe problem but rather a cultural crisis that crosses all lines of ethnicity, race, and socioeconomics and does enormous damage to women, girls, and men themselves. It creates an onramp to online radicalization for young men and contributes to the growing problem of violence against women in public life. The debate surrounding the release of the Epstein files and public cases, such as that of convicted rapist Dominique Pelicot, have reignited calls for accountability around the widespread sexual exploitation and abuse of women and girls. Jackson Katz offers a refreshingly candid diagnosis of this problem and outlines a series of actionable steps for men, women and everyone. These include concrete measures that "bystanders" can take to interrupt misogynistic abuse, as well as practical suggestions for men in positions of cultural influence and community, institutional, and political leadership. Every Man is a call for men to be proactive leaders, to dismantle the attitudes and systems that enable gender violence, and to help build a society in which gender equity and safety are seen as both a shared responsibility and a national priority. -
Sin Bin
Brody Saunders is the best coach in the NHL. Grumpy, menacing and with two Stanley Cups under his belt as the head coach of the DC Stars, the last thing he should be doing is hooking up with his player's younger sister. After the night of their one night stand almost ends in tragedy, he pulls away, vowing to pretend like their rendezvous ever happened.
Hannah Everett is a world champion figure skater who doesn't know what she wants to do with her life. When she acknowledges she's burnt out with the sport she's spent her whole life doing, she realizes she needs all the help she can get to find herself, and her love of skating, again.
What starts as an agreement for Hannah to coach Brody's daughter for the figure skating season, quickly turns into something more. Between the time they're spending together on and off the ice, Hannah starts to see Brody isn't the short-tempered man the media portrays him to be, and the longer they fight their connection, the more the tension between them grows.
Falling in love with the girl fourteen years younger than him isn't part of Brody's plan, but can he stay out of the sin bin when the world finally learns about their relationship?

Mexican Teeth: Stories and Assorted Artifacts of an Errant Chicanidad
A young man must decide what's most important when violence breaks out at a drag club. A pizza delivery driver has a fateful encounter with a voracious customer at the end of the world. And a graduate student must face his childhood trauma while being treated by a sadistic dental trainee. In Mexican Teeth, Tomás Hulick Baiza introduces readers to characters who slowly unravel what their lives mean to themselves and those around them. Baiza challenges readers to consider what it means to be "Mexican" in the U.S., why characters should be allowed to speak in more than one language, and whether it's possible for anyone to identify as only one thing. With a sharp blend of surrealism, melancholy, and humor, Baiza's stories and essays explore the complex nature of Chicanx identity while emphasizing the universal conditions that unite us all.
Tomás Hulick Baiza is originally from San José, California, and now finds himself in Boise, Idaho. He is the author of the novel, Delivery: A Pocho's Accidental Guide to College, Love, and Pizza Delivery (Running Wild Press, 2023), and the mixed-genre collection A Purpose to Our Savagery (RIZE Press, 2023). Delivery was selected as the 2024 Treasure Valley Reads featured novel. Tomás is the winner of the 2024 Eliud Martínez Prize for his manuscript Mexican Teeth (Inlandia Books, 2025), and his writing has been nominated for the Pushcart Prize, the Best of the Net, and Best American Short Stories anthologies. Tomás has fenced in Italy, been rescued by helicopter from the Sierra Nevada, fended off wild dogs while hitchhiking in rural Morelos, México, and once delivered a dozen pizzas to a Klingon-themed orgy at a sci-fi convention. When he is not writing, Tomás is running trails, sharpening knives, or obsessing over bonsai trees.

Gods of the Bible: A New Interpretation of the Bible Reveals the Oldest Secret in History
A new interpretation of the Bible reveals the oldest secret in history.If you read the Bible literally, everything becomes understandable and plain because the biblical authors did not feel the need, as we do, to advocate for a precise monotheistic theological perspective or a moral authority of religious order.
Through the pages of this book "God" will show himself in a light entirely unsuspected to most readers. The final portrait that will emerge will reveal the image of a character very different from what many of our readers are accustomed to. The Bible, falsifications and mistranslations From the necessity of harmonizing the biblical text with the theological and monotheistic conception of God of Western culture arises a whole series of falsifications and mistranslations, in view of which that first innocent printing typo I had discovered twenty-five years ago really seems like a "speck in the eye of the brother." Instead, here we talk about massive logs that have remained in our eyes for hundreds and thousands of years, so long that we even ignore our blindness. God or Gods? In this book, I focus on the identity and character of Yahweh and the meaning of the term "Elohim." When we read the term "God" in the Bible, this usually comes from the Hebrew term "Elohim." However, at least when I worked for Edizioni San Paolo, the term "Elohim" was left untranslated into the interlinear edition of the Bible that we prepared for scholars and academia. In the Bibles available to the public, the same term was translated as "God." Therefore, where people read "God" and believe that the biblical authors wrote the equivalent of the word "God," scholars read the term "Elohim." This was to alert them that this word is problematic, to say the least, for the unbiased translator. "My reading will result in most passages being unorthodox to a religious perspective. Some would say even heretical. For this reason, for all passages that indicate an unconventional, unexpected, and non-heterodox reading, we reproduce the original Hebrew text with the literal translation verbatim, word for word." -
Burn Boston Burn: The Largest Arson Case in the History of the Country
Burn Boston Burn-The Largest Arson Case in the History of the Country is an astounding true crime narration.
A conspiracy of 9 men, including 3 Boston cops and a Boston firefighter, burned Boston and surrounding communities in the early 1980s due to tax-cutting measures that caused layoffs of hundreds of police and firefighters. Over 2 years, these fire buffs, turned arsonists, torched 264 buildings, causing millions of dollars in damages and hundreds of injuries. The city was ablaze with nightly fires, sirens wailing through the streets and people too afraid to sleep.
This book interweaves the activities of the arsonists with those of the investigators, the firefighters, and the citizens of the area. Readers will shake their heads in disbelief at the brazen and wanton actions of these political domestic terrorists. Besides the setting of so many fires, the case included scores of other hard-to believe criminal acts committed by the conspirators, including:
- stealing a brand new police car for parts and dumping it in Boston Harbor
- creating a threat letter comprising cut-out letters to extort the City of Boston
- stealing fire call boxes to delay notification of fires
- calling fire departments with false fires and a bomb scare
- making plans to murder witnesses
- plus many more flagrant violations that terrified the citizens.
The author, now retired ATF Special Agent Wayne Miller, lived this case for three years. A TV cameraman helped break the case when he filmed one of the cops waving his gun in the air at a massive fire as if he were at a rodeo.
After the Boston Police Officer/arsonist became a witness, we utilized 17 undercover contacts to perfect a Federal case. Agent Miller spent innumerable hours interviewing those perpetrators who became Government witnesses. An arsonist's journal provided the basis for chilling insights into their words, actions and thoughts. Mr. Miller now has regular contact with that arsonist who has provided additional information to support the book.
Every firefighter who has heard of the story wants to read about it. Also, anyone interested in true crime, investigative procedures, the inner workings of a criminal conspiracy and fires would have powerful interests in this book. National media covered the case in the early to mid-1980s.
Recently, Mr. Miller was presented with the Jennie F. McLauthlen Award for Lifelong Learning for his work on this story from the Kingston Public Library and the Kingston Council on Aging in Kingston, Massachusetts. Past recipients include David McCullough, Nathaniel Philbrick, Mitchell Zuckoff, Dick Lehr, William Martin, Casey Sherman, Michelle McPhee, Kate Clifford Larson, Stephen Puleo, Hank Phillippi Ryan, Ellen Fitzpatrick, Juliette Fay, and Randy Susan Meyers.

Rush Week
An irresistible, juicy contemporary novel based on the TikTok phenomenon #BamaRushTok--about four sorority sisters brought back to the top-tier house they ruled at the University of Alabama, when secrets they'd thought long buried threaten to resurface.
Four sorority sisters. Each with dark secrets. They must stop the unexpected opening of a time capsule created as part of a sorority rush ritual that was supposed to hold their deepest secrets buried forever...
Five years after they thought they'd said goodbye forever, a group of sorority sisters find themselves back at the University of Alabama for Rush Week. Some return to rekindle their friendships, and others to keep long silent secrets from being exhumed. Unbeknownst to them at the time, the infamous "Spill Book" they wrote confessions in as a trust (hazing) exercise over the years was placed into a time capsule--now it's been stolen, and the anonymous thief is threatening to expose them all on Bid Day.
Rush Week is a juicy, wild, drama-packed novel filled with good--and not so good--girls behaving badly, dark humor, and sexy scandals. As the sisters navigate their present and not-so-distant past, unbreakable bonds of friendship are put to the test, and regrettable mistakes threaten to change everything if exposed. But perhaps if they confess their sins to each other, they can begin to mend not only themselves, but their sisterhood-- before the world finds out just how wicked they are.

Oldfield: A Community of Enslaved and Free People on Maryland's Underground Railroad

Today, their descendants continue to honor that legacy by preserving Oldfield's Vaughn Chapel Church and cemetery-solemn reminders of the past and powerful symbols of faith, perseverance, and the fight for freedom.

Future of Love
John Poch's eighth collection, The Future of Love, is comprised of poems written over the past twenty years, rooted in and inspired by the landscape of Spain, Federico García Lorca's surrealism, and Pablo Neruda's eros. Also present is the influence of the flamenco-the song, the dance, and what Lorca called the duende, a term he used to signify an intense experience of passion, sadness, and ecstasy.
The third-largest cathedral in the world and the bullfight arena loom large in these pages, both strange architectures where beauty can only be achieved through suffering and blood sacrifice. The beloved here is a complicated figure: she is muse, lover, mother, housewife, model, queen, dancer, baker, sculptural object, goddess, landscape, and sea. She requires our full attention.
These poems honoring a long marriage are not sentimental or nostalgic, but passionate and wild about the beautiful tensions one finds when facing distance, absence, longing, and the struggle of faith. It is a purgatorial journey that, while fraught with gravity, curves toward paradise and rest. The influence of Plath, Lowell, and Merwin are apparent, yet the playful rhythms and sonic qualities of phrasings harken back a little farther to the intensity of Hart Crane and Gerard Manley Hopkins. This poetry takes back from the world what the world would take away.
