Killer and Frank Lloyd Wright: The True Story of Mass Murder in Paradise
The scandal. The genius. The murder that shocked America.
Frank Lloyd Wright was more than the mind behind America's most iconic buildings--he was a man whose turbulent private life captivated a nation. The famous architect's stormy marriage to Kitty Wright and his infamous affair with another woman, Mamah Borthwick, ignited one of the country's first celebrity scandals, splashed across headlines from coast to coast.
Then, in August 1914, scandal turned to horror. A tragedy at Taliesin, the Wisconsin home Wright built as a monument to love, shook the very foundation of Wright's life--and catapulted him back to the front pages of newspapers across the country as readers clamored for glimpses of his very darkest moments.
In The Killer and Frank Lloyd Wright, New York Times bestselling author Casey Sherman delves beyond the myth of Wright's genius to reveal a man of relentless ambition, consuming passion, and devastating loss. With haunting intimacy and propulsive storytelling, Sherman delivers a portrait of an artist who could not escape the shadows of his own making--and who rose, again and again, from the ashes.

Sold outEmilys
A mother becomes obsessed with finding the cure to a mysterious ailment that is spreading throughout her New England town in this kaleidoscopic novel about love's capacities in a changing world. "Gorgeous and compelling."--Kelly Link, author of The Book of Love "And if we weren't afraid of the darkness? What world would we make then?" Eve is at a breaking point. Alone with her two children in Massachusetts while her husband pursues his music career in New York City, she's frustrated, bored, and above all, lonely when she runs into Demeter, a childhood friend with whom she shared one transformative summer. Demeter is as beautiful and charismatic as Eve remembers, but she's also distraught. Demeter's daughter, like a growing number of others, young and old, cannot go outside during the day. No one knows why, and doctors are skeptical that these people--soon dubbed Emilys, after a famously reclusive local poet--are telling the truth. But Eve believes her friend, whose company revives her and gives her purpose. She will help Demeter--if she can just figure out how. Eve's search for answers brings her into the fold of an unlikely band of detectives--the local librarian and the town's most prolific writer of letters to the editor, who both loved the same woman and now hate each other; an actor hoping to make amends for past mistakes; a hermit botanist whose seed collection might hold a clue if she'd only open her door. They meet in playdates and potlucks, the Elks Lodge and the food co-op, the botanical garden and the riverbank, venturing deep into the town's past and finding their way towards a future wilder and more wondrous than they had ever expected. But for Eve, this future will require a price: She is keeping secrets from her husband, fighting with Demeter, distracted from her children. What is she willing to risk to find a cure? The Emilys is a capacious, profound book about how love of all kinds--love between friends, between mothers and kids, between strangers and neighbors, love for the earth--opens up new possibilities. It asks: How will we learn to live in an altered world? How will we keep each other safe? And when the darkness comes, how will we find joy?Sold out -

Roma soy yo, Maldita Roma y Los tres mundos reunidas en una edición en formato estuche. La historia de Julio César narrada como solo Santiago Posteguillo puede hacerlo. Si alguna vez hubo un hombre nacido para cambiar el curso de la Historia, ese fue Julio César. Su leyenda, veinte siglos después, sigue más viva que nunca. Roma soy yo Roma, año 77 a.C. El cruel senador Dolabela va a ser juzgado por corrupción, pero ha contratado a los mejores abogados, ha comprado al jurado y, además, es conocido por usar la violencia contra todos los que se enfrentan a él. Nadie se atreve a ser el fiscal, hasta que de pronto, contra todo pronóstico, un joven patricio de tan solo veintitrés años acepta llevar la acusación, defender al pueblo de Roma y desafiar el poder de las élites. El nombre del desconocido abogado es Cayo Julio César. Combinando con maestría un exhaustivo rigor histórico y una capacidad narrativa extraordinaria, Santiago Posteguillo logra sumergir al lector en el fragor de las batallas, hacerle caminar por las calles más peligrosas mientras los sicarios de los senadores acechan en cualquier esquina, vivir la gran historia de amor de Julio César con Cornelia, su primera esposa, y comprender, en definitiva, cómo fueron los orígenes del hombre tras el mito.
___________________
Maldita Roma Mare Internum, año 75 a. C. Un barco mercante navega rumbo a la isla de Rodas. A bordo, Julio César acompañado sólo por su fiel Labieno. Obligado por sus enemigos a exiliarse de Roma, se dirige al encuentro con el maestro Apolonio para aprender oratoria y de este modo, a su regreso, iniciar una feroz pugna para ingresar en el Senado y enfrentarse allí al temido Cicerón. Este es un relato sin tregua en el que viviremos ataques piratas, el enfrentamiento con Espartaco en la rebelión de los esclavos, grandes batallas en las que sentiremos el olor de la sangre y el estruendo de los gladios. Comprenderemos los hábiles manejos de César para ascender en política y asistiremos, incluso, al nacimiento de la reina Cleopatra a orillas del Nilo.

Los tres mundos
En el 58 a. C., Roma, la Galia y Egipto eran tres mundos distintos que, sin saberlo, iban camino de un único destino... Si en Roma soy yo conocíamos los orígenes de Julio César y enMaldita Roma asistíamos a su ascenso político, ahora César se enfrenta a uno de los mayores desafíos históricos de todos los tiempos: la conquista de las Galias, un territorio siempre hostil a Roma, vasto, inmenso y, a ojos de los enemigos de César, un lugar inconquistable destinado a ser su tumba. Con una rigurosa documentación y un ritmo soberbio vivimos el sufrimiento y la épica de la guerra de las Galias, pero también presenciamos la lucha política fratricida en Roma y viajamos al exilio con el faraón Tolomeo XII, expulsado de Egipto en compañía de su hija, la joven y mítica Cleopatra.

Masterfully combining an exhaustive historical rigor with extraordinary narrative skills, Santiago Posteguillo is able to submerge his readers in the thick of battle, make them walk through the most dangerous streets where the Senate's henchmen lurk in every corner, live the great love story of Julius Caesar and Cornelia, his first wife, and finally understand the origins of the man behind the myth.

Iconic Jersey Tomatoes, An American Folklife and Foodway
If terroir sets the place for culture, and seeds are nature's intersection that allows for folklife and foodway, then Iconic Jersey Tomatoes, An American Folklife and Foodway by Jeff Quattrone is the Jersey tomato version of that. Through his lens of his life in New Jersey and his seed and food sovereignty art and activism, Jeff tells the story of the collective generational experiences around tomato seed breeding that led to the Jersey tomato becoming a part of New Jersey's cultural identity.
New Jersey is one of four peninsula states in the United States. It's the only one that is surrounded by three types of water: fresh, brackish and ocean. The pesnulia and its terroir and merroir set the place for Jersey history. Tomato seed breeding is a big part of that. From Campbell's and their tomato breeding program, to local seed and canning companies under one roof, to seed companies and independent tomato breeders, all contributed to local community and economic power over seeds and food. It was a way of life and not the social actions needed today. The book chronicles Jeff's revival of six functionally extinct Jersey-bred tomatoes and their histories, along with the history of eight other Jersey-bred tomatoes. Property deeds, seed catalog pages, and adaptations of Jeff's Growing the Food Sovereignty Revolution Propaganda Series visually compliment the deep and hidden history that the seeds allow him to bring forward for lessons to respect, revive and reinvent to meet current seed and food system challenges.
