  Small but Important Riots - The...

  June 1863. The American Civil War was two years old, and the U.S. Army in Virginia was in chaos. Reeling after the recent defeat at Chancellorsville, the Federals, especially the Cavalry Corps, scrambled to regroup. Confederate general Robert E. Lee seized the moment to launch a second invasion of the North. At this critical moment, the much-maligned Federal cavalry stepped to center stage. 
   
   
   
  Small but Important Riots is a tactical study of fighting from June 17 to 22, 1863, at Aldie, Middleburg, and Upperville, placed within the strategic context of the Gettysburg campaign. It is based on Robert O'Neill's thirty years of research and access to previously unpublished documents, which reveal startling new information. 
   
   
   
  Since the fighting in Loudoun Valley of Virginia ended in June 1863, one perspective has prevailed—that Brigadier General Alfred Pleasonton, who commanded the Cavalry Corps, Army of the Potomac, disobeyed orders. According to published records, Pleasonton's superiors, including President Abraham Lincoln, Secretary of War Edwin Stanton, and army commander Joseph Hooker, ordered Pleasonton to search for General Robert E. Lee's Army of Northern Virginia during a critical stage of the Gettysburg campaign, and Pleasonton ignored their orders. Recently discovered documents prove otherwise.

  In "Discourse on the Method," René Descartes lays the foundation for modern philosophical inquiry and the quest for knowledge through scepticism and doubt. With meticulous reasoning, Descartes dismantles the edifice of accepted truths to build a new understanding of reality based on clear and distinct ideas. His famous declaration, "I think, therefore I am," encapsulates the essence of this transformative work. Descartes invites us on a profound journey to question, reason, and ultimately seek the truth about our existence. Read in English, unabridged.

  Journey without End - Migration...

  Rob Curran, Andrew Nelson

  Journey without End chronicles the years-long journey of "extracontinentales"—African and South Asian migrants moving through Latin America, toward the United States. Based on five years of collaborative research between a journalist and an anthropologist, this book makes a narrative-driven critique of how state-level immigration policy fails extracontinental migrants. 
   
   
   
  The book begins with Kidane, an Eritrean migrant who has left his pregnant wife behind to make the four-year trip to North America; it then picks up the natural disaster–riddled voyage of Roshan and Kamala Dhakal from Nepal, to Ecuador; and it continues to the trials of Cameroonian exile Jane Mtebe, who becomes trapped in a bizarre beachside resort town on the edge of the Darién Gap—the gateway from South to Central America. 
   
   
   
  This book follows these migrants as their fitful voyages put them in a semi-permanent state of legal and existential liminality. Mercurial policy creates profit opportunities that transform migration bottlenecks—Quito's tourist district, a Colombian beachside resort, Panama's Darién Gap, and a Mexican border town—into spontaneous migration-oriented spaces rife with racial, gender, and class exploitation. Throughout this struggle, migrant solidarity allows for occasional glimpses of subaltern cosmopolitanism and the possibility of mobile futures.

  God in Her Ruffled Dress, written and narrated by poet and singer-songwriter Lisa B (Lisa Bernstein), explores the human/divine interface: body/spirit, temporal/eternal, illness/wellness. 
  With an original musical background and bookended by two poem-prayers, it has four sections: “Return to the Body” (on the author’s type 1 diabetes, Biblical scripture, and spiritual transformation); “Drum the Beginning of the World” (jazz masters, the power of singing); “Sever the Head” (pandemic politics); and “Propagate” (a female perspective on love, sensuality, birth, and death). 
  It was published in paperback by What Books Press. Poems appeared in The Kenyon Review, Ploughshares, Poetry International, Lilith, anthologies on cars and Greek mythology, and elsewhere. 
  “A book of deep seeing…intense listening... a series of divine pleasures” - D.A. Powell 
  “Stunning…weaves together body, spirituality, politics, and the world we live in…will stir your mind and bring you into beauty” - Kelli Russell Agodon 
  “Bears écriture feminine into the 21st century with grace, wit, and incredible technical dexterity” - Kristina Marie Darling 
  “Strange, musical, funny, sexy…exploring shifting definitions of the divine while staying grounded in the body, its strengths and illness and need, its miraculous desires...a deeply spiritual, feminist celebration in verse” - Girl Trouble 
  “A multifaceted collection that challenges the reader’s…understanding of topics from gender to eroticism… powerful physicality associated with the divine that is seldom approached so boldly...delicate sensuality and eroticism…A marvelous read!” - Full House Review
