    The Gallipoli Campaign is known as one of the worst blunders committed by the Allied forces during the First World War. Despite being first thought up long before the beginning of the war, it was ultimately a hastily arranged campaign that the British hoped would knock the Ottoman Empire—one of the Central Powers—out of the war and slow the German war machine. With Germany finding success on every front, the Allies were desperate for new ideas. 
    It was Winston Churchill’s enthusiasm that encouraged the British War Council to give the campaign the green light, yet he would later lament the timing. Although it was a bold plan, a myriad of factors conspired to make Gallipoli one of the most futile operations of the war. Nevertheless, the lives lost from battles fought there would go on to echo throughout modern history. Turks, Australians, and New Zealanders, on the battleground and at home, would reconsider their nations’ place within their respective empires in the aftermath. In this way, the slaughter at Gallipoli would lead to the creation of new national identities.

    In The Forgotten Dance, Kara Sparr invites us into a powerful remembering of what was lost when we abandoned the sacred polarity between the masculine and feminine. Weaving cultural critique, ancestral wisdom, this book explores how modern society has eroded our connection to identity, intimacy, and purpose and how we might rebuild. With clarity, tenderness, and courage, Kara reclaims motherhood, reveres fatherhood, and reimagines love not as performance, but as devotion. This is not a call to go back, it’s a call to return: to essence, to soul, and to the sacred rhythm that once bound us to each other.

    In 2018, police announced that they had finally arrested the "Golden State Killer," a man responsible for over 140 burglaries, fifty rapes, and at least thirteen murders committed in California throughout the 1970s and '80s. That man turned out to be a former California police officer, Joseph James DeAngelo Jr. 
     
     
     
    Just two months earlier, the publication of I'll Be Gone in the Dark by Michelle McNamara had rocked the world of true crime. Published two years after her death, the book charts McNamara's obsessive search for the prolific criminal who had been known over the years as the East Area Rapist, the Original Night Stalker, and the Visalia Ransacker, among other epithets. McNamara is credited with coining the "Golden State Killer" moniker and heightening public awareness of the—at the time—still unsolved case. 
     
     
     
    William Thorp dives into the investigation, exploring the dark side of sunny California, the advances in forensic innovation that made solving this case possible, and the story inside the story—one of an amateur sleuth who dedicated the last years of her life to understanding how one of the country's worst criminals could have spent so many decades undetected.
