Описание: "A virtuosic, witty, charming translation of the greatest epic ever written about mice, with wonderful illustrations by Grant Silverstein. Stallings' elegant rhyming couplets are the perfect choice to honor the mousy Muse."--Emily Wilson, Professor of Classics, University of Pennsylvania "Stallings' translation of this ancient epic is a delight: charming, witty, and vividly alive, with buoyant rhymes and eye-catching illustrations. I suspect this will become a beloved addition in many home libraries."--Madeline Miller, bestselling author of Circe From the award-winning poet and translator A. E. Stallings comes a lively new edition of the ancient Greek fable The Battle between the Frogs and the Mice. Originally attributed to Homer, but now thought to have been composed centuries later by an unknown author, The Battle is the tale of a mouse named Crumbsnatcher who is killed by the careless frog King Pufferthroat, sparking a war between the two species. This dark but delightful parable about the foolishness of war is illustrated throughout in striking drawings by Grant Silverstein.
The clever introduction is written from the point of view of a mouse who argues that perhaps the unknown author of the fable is not a human after all: "Who better than a mouse, then, to compose our diminutive, though not ridiculous, epic, a mouse born and bred in a library, living off lamp oil, ink, and the occasional nibble of a papyrus, constantly perched on the shoulder of some scholar or scholiast of Homer, perhaps occasionally whispering in his ear? Mouse, we may remember, is only one letter away from Muse."
"The idea behind the book came as a result of a conversation I was having with a friend of mine. She had been through a really frustrating two-year renovation project and she simply said Troy, you need to do this. Trust me, people will welcome the opportunity to have less stress and save time and money while actually enjoy the process of building or renovating." Turns out she was right. "People can't be expected to understand all aspects of construction, yet when they build or renovate without an advocate they are put in a difficult position to do just that". Troy believes his book and new service offering will be a welcomed approach not only for clients but builders as well " I actually think builders will appreciate the book as a tool and my role as an advocate because it will help eliminate confusion, set realistic expectations and keep projects running on time and on budget, which ultimately leads to the best possible outcome for everyone". Stallings also says his book can help ease stress and bring some fun back into the process. He acknowledges that most people are just too busy to really enjoy the journey. "It can get really stressful and things can fall apart fast". He says having an advocate, someone who's only job is to look out for you, changes the game. "Even if you have hired a reputable builder and designer, it never hurts to have an added layer of protection to make sure your best interests are being served". According to Stallings "this book takes you on the journey of the build. It will help guide you in basic terms - its building and renovating made easier, who doesn't want that".
Описание: From the shutdown of Planned Parenthood clinics and the rising rates of HIV to anti-marriage equality and bathroom bills, the New South is the epicenter of the new sex wars. Issues of reproductive freedom, HIV/AIDS, partner rights and transgender rights reveal a new and unacknowledged era of southern reconstruction centered on gender and sexuality.
In A Dirty South Manifesto, L.H. Stallings confronts us with the roots of this radical sexual resistance in the New South, one that is anti-racist, decolonial, and transnational. For people within these economically disenfranchised segments of society, the sexually and gender marginalized, and the racially oppressed, the south has been a sexual dystopia. Throughout this short book, Stallings offers several hard-hitting manifestoes for the new sex wars. With her focus on black, contemporary southern life, Stallings offers a calling for anyone who has ever imagined a way of living beyond white supremacist heteropatriarchy.

Описание:
Attention, shoppers Today's special is murder
The Minimum Wage Manhunter is back, bagging groceries and a killer. After solving a murder at his last low-paying job, 20-year-old Li Johnson thought he would never see a corpse again. Unemployed and flat broke, Li catches a lucky break when kindly supermarket clerk Reuben Rodriguez gets him a job at Esther's Family Grocery. But when a customer is found bludgeoned to death in the spice aisle, the evidence suggests that Li's new friend and benefactor might be the murderer.
Determined to clear Reuben's name, Li sets out to find what really happened to the shopper in aisle six. But getting the truth will force Li to match wits against the city's shadowy political boss and a homicide detective who hates amateur sleuths. Can a lowly grocery clerk uncover a secret that powerful people want hidden? Once again, Li Johnson delivers fresh value to the mystery genre.

Описание: The Long Decade is many stories in one. It is the story of a great and devastating flood. It is the story of millions being lost in the crash of a stock market. It is the story of America during the time of gangsters and G-men. But primarily, it is the story of two men that destiny brought together and who formed an unlikely friendshipa junior reporter and a flamboyant politician. Young, ambitious, working for a newspaper in Alabama, eager to prove himself, Ryan Covington is sent home to Louisiana to cover the gubernatorial campaign of a candidate most insiders thought could never win. The political machine in New Orleans could not have been more wrong. Huey P. Long Jr. was unlike any candidate Louisiana had ever seen. With his hillbilly wisdom and speech, Long proved to be the greatest mass communicator ever witnessed. Blessed with tireless energy and a near-photographic memory, Huey Long stirred the crowds to beat the odds and win. With his victory, he built the ultimate political machine. And Ryan Covington was there to witness it all. This is his story.
