Speaking in Pictures: A Vision of Language
Pictures are a fundamental aspect of how we express ourselves, and cave paintings are among our oldest records of intelligence. Yet, despite their importance, why don't most people feel they can draw, and why are pictures often considered less important than language?
For over 20 years, Neil Cohn has pioneered research around these questions within the fields of linguistics and cognitive neuroscience, and this book is the result, heralding a new paradigm of language, drawing, and communication, all accessibly presented as a non-fiction graphic novel. This work challenges the conventional understandings of how pictures communicate, how people learn to draw, and the nature of language itself. With humor and a clear, friendly, and accessible tone, Speaking in Pictures introduces ground-breaking research by doing what it discusses: intertwining pictures and words into a single message as a non-fiction graphic novel, taking the reader on an inspiring journey through the study of communication and the mind.Sold out -

Bear Head
Honey the genetically engineered bear starts a revolution on the Red Planet in the new novel from the Arthur C. Clarke Award-winning author of Children of Time.
He's used to smuggling illegal data in his headspace. But this is the first time it has started talking to him. The data claims to be a distinguished academic, author and civil rights activist. It also claims to be a bear. A bear named Honey. Jimmy has nothing against bioforms - he's one himself, albeit one engineered out of human stock - and works with them everyday in Hell City, building the future, staking mankind's claim to a new world: Mars. The problem is that humanity isn't the only entity with designs on the Red Planet. Out in the airless desert there is another presence. A novel intelligence, elusive, unknowable and potentially lethal. And Honey is here to make contact with it, whether Jimmy likes it or not.
WELCOME TO HELL CITY, MARS
Jimmy Martin has a sore head.

Women Mentoring Women: Strategies and Stories to Lift As We Rise
"Women make up only 8% of Fortune 500 CEOs."
In the 21st century, women make up half of the workforce, have access to the same educational channels, and have proven that they are just as talented and capable as their male counterparts, yet women are barely moving the meter at the executive level. Why is that?
Women Mentoring Women addresses a primary issue that author Michelle Renaldo Ferguson believes holds women back: lack of mentorship. High-level leaders have the knowledge and expertise to assist and train lower-level professionals in business to prepare them to advance in their careers. While education plays a role in helping women land a job, understanding the business culture helps them climb the ladder of success. Women Mentoring Women lays out:
- The reasons mentorship is necessary, with real-life examples that have helped junior executives
- Explains types of partnerships and how to benefit from collaborations
- Why "selfish" mentoring should be a regular practice
If you are someone who wants to maximize your time with your company, wants to pursue a higher position, or believes you have the knowledge to help someone in a junior position, Women Mentoring Women is an invaluable resource for your library.

Unmasked
Are you carrying everyone else while your own healing goes undone? Are you carrying the silent ache of being misunderstood by the ones you love the most? Have you longed for the freedom to simply be, rather than a version of yourself shaped by others' demands? Are you ready to live fully, unapologetically, and finally with clarity?
In his debut memoir, UNMASKED: A Poetic Memoir through Trauma, Identity, and the Sacred Work of Healing, Ryan Patrick Parker invites readers into a story told with profound tenderness and unflinching clarity. As you turn each page, his words become a mirror, a guide, and a steady companion for anyone seeking peace, restoration, and a life of wholeness. With the pen of a poet and the hard-earned wisdom of one who has lived, wrestled, and risen, Parker carries readers through moments of unraveling, revelation, and quiet transformation. Through each page, he gives language to name your wounds, permission to speak hard truths, and courage to move from trauma to triumph.
The journey back to self is sacred, yet this book is gentle, intimate, and deeply human. It's more like a guided walk into healing than a traditional memoir. Each line invites reflection. Each reflection offers solace. And every moment opens the gate to renewal, courage, and unapologetic freedom. UNMASKED is meant to be digested slowly, breathed in, and felt in heartbeats... allowing space for resonance, release, and renewal.
At its core, this deeply personal memoir of healing and becoming is not only the author's story. It's an invitation for anyone ready to live the fullest version of themselves: healed, whole, powerful, and unapologetically free.

Cue the Lifeboat: A Choose-Your-Current Guide to Get Your Ship Together
The choose-your-current guide for navigating career uncertainty instead of avoiding it.
School gave you structure. Then it disappears, and you're in open water. The rules you were given stop making sense. The next step isn't obvious. Everyone seems louder than the answers you're looking for.
Cue the Lifeboat is for anyone standing at that edge-unsure where to go but certain they can't stay put. Whether you're a recent graduate, navigating a career pivot, or facing a moment when the old roadmap no longer fits, this story begins there.
You're the main character. Each chapter drops you into a real adventure: midnight sailing regattas in Hawaii, business deals in Buenos Aires, meditation in Indian temples. The book's choose-your-current format means that at the end of every chapter, you decide which adventure comes next based on what you need most right now: finding your voice, dealing with setbacks, or changing course.
Every story springs from lived experience. Christiane Palpant spent two decades as a Fortune 500 executive and now teaches university students navigating their first career chapters. She once drove 45,000 miles in a van to paint the horizon in all 50 states because she needed to figure out what came next. She's lived with uncertainty.
You'll get action steps, honest reflection, and the confidence to navigate uncertainty one choice at a time. Start at the beginning or jump to what you need right now. Equal parts guide, companion, and permission slip to chart a course that's truly your own.

Venture Capital Alternative: A Blueprint for a Better Patent System
Big Tech is banking on you not reading this book. Literally.
Intellectual property (IP) and patent law in the US and globally is overwhelmingly in favor of large corporations who have spent billions lobbying for preferential treatment. For decades, individual creators and inventors have discovered that their dreams of having patents granted eventually end in nightmares of financial ruin and personal trauma.
But change is possible. After more than twenty-five years navigating the pitfalls and learning the hard lessons of IP and finance, Matt Moyers is on a mission to transform how the invention system works. The Venture Capital Alternative explores the nuances of technology, IP, and patent financing, and provides a modernized solution to balance the system and enable startups and innovation.
Through a detailed convergence of financial theory, regulatory frameworks, and financial astuteness, The Venture Capital Alternative charts a path for a better, revolutionary IP capital system-one that both empowers innovators and brings balance to the global economy.

Life is Luck
Most people are afraid to admit the role of luck in their lives.
It feels better to be "self-made" - the kind of person who boldly declares that if you drop them in the middle of New York, penniless and naked, they'll emerge a millionaire thirty days later.
Nothing could be further from the truth.
John Morgan is not afraid to acknowledge the tremendous role luck has played in his life. There's been plenty of good - like deciding to attend Mass on a whim and meeting the love of his life - and plenty of bad - like being raised by an alcoholic father who couldn't keep a job. But the bundle of good and bad luck we inherit doesn't mean we're helpless.
This book will show you how to find luck, get return on luck, enhance luck, and turn bad luck into good luck.
Unflinching, honest, and sometimes raw, Life is Luck looks at the remarkable life of the man who built the largest personal injury law firm in American history, along with an enterprise of attractions, hotels, apartment buildings, and shopping centers.
LIFE. LUCK. LEGACY.
I wrote this book to tell the truth about life and success. And the truth is, I can trace everything back to a paperboy in Lexington, Kentucky who borrowed money from his grandmother at eleven years old and had no idea that luck was already doing most of the heavy lifting. And today, looking back at the remarkable journey that paperboy would take, gratitude stands as the most important part of my life.
I wrote this book for my wife, who is by far the luckiest break in my life, and my children and grandchildren. And I wrote it for anyone who has ever been dealt a bad hand and wondered why or caught a lucky break and didn't recognize it until it was in the rearview mirror. If this book does what I hope it does, it gives people an honest framework for accepting the role luck plays - finding the opportunity buried in the bad and being ready when the good eventually comes around.
