Beyond Blue and White is a colorful celebration of an iconic decorative art and dynamic women living in extraordinary times.

Quantum Criminals - Ramblers...

Joan LeMay, Alex Pappademas

Steely Dan's songs are exercises in fictional world-building. No one else in the classic-rock canon has conjured a more vivid cast of rogues and heroes, creeps and schmucks, lovers and dreamers and cold-blooded operators—or imbued their characters with so much humanity. 
 
 
 
Pulling from history, lived experience, pulp fiction, the lore of the counterculture, and their own darkly comic imaginations, Donald Fagen and Walter Becker summoned protagonists who seemed like fully formed people with complicated pasts, scars they don't talk about, delusions and desires and memories they can't shake. Every name is a locked-room mystery, beguiling listeners and earning the band an exceptionally passionate and growing cult fandom. 
 
 
 
Quantum Criminals presents the world of Steely Dan as it has never been seen, much less heard. Artist Joan LeMay has crafted lively, color-saturated images of her favorite characters from the Daniverse to accompany writer Alex Pappademas's explorations of the famous and obscure songs that inspired each painting, in short essays full of cultural context, wild speculation, inspired dot-connecting, and the occasional conspiracy theory. All of it is refracted through the perspectives of the characters, making for a musical companion unlike any other. Quantum Criminals is a singular celebration of Steely Dan's musical cosmos.

The Discoverer - Experiencing...

Moshe Katz

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. What if reality is far richer than anything you've been taught to see?
Most people move through life recognizing objects, places, and people. Few ever learn how to discover the hidden worlds that exist within them.

In The Discoverer: A New Theory of Hidden Reality, architect, author, and visionary thinker Moshe Katz presents a revolutionary philosophy of perception that will forever change the way you experience cities, relationships, creativity, architecture, nature, and even yourself.

Drawing from architecture, psychology, philosophy, art, urban life, childhood, memory, and spirituality, this groundbreaking book introduces a new human archetype: The Discoverer-the person who learns to perceive invisible dimensions hidden beneath everyday reality.

Through inspiring stories, profound insights, and an entirely original way of thinking, you'll learn why every street contains many cities, every object carries unseen meaning, every person hides unexplored worlds, and every ordinary moment can become an extraordinary act of discovery.

This is not simply a book about seeing differently. It is a book about becoming different.
Whether you are an architect, artist, entrepreneur, educator, designer, leader, student, or lifelong seeker, The Discoverer will train your attention, awaken your curiosity, and unlock a way of thinking that can transform how you create, solve problems, build relationships, and navigate the future.

After listening, you won't walk through a city the same way.
You won't look at a building, a stranger, a memory, or even your own life the same way.
You'll begin to notice possibilities where others see ordinary things, connections where others see separation, and hidden dimensions where others see only the surface.

Because the greatest discoveries are not always waiting in distant places.
Sometimes they have been waiting quietly around you all along.

The Mediatization of the OJ...

Tatjana Neubauer

F. Scott Fitzgerald once said: »Show me a hero, and I'll write you a tragedy.« In the 1990s, nobody fell deeper than O.J. Simpson. Once considered a national treasure, the athlete was accused of brutally slaying his ex-wife Nicole Brown and her friend Ronald Goldman on June 12, 1994. Within days, the media and public developed an unprecedented obsession with the story, turning a murder investigation and trial into a sensationalized reality show. Tatjana Neubauer examines the mediatization, deliberate manipulation, and the simplification of popular criminal trials for profit on television. She demonstrates that TV conflated legal proceedings into entertainment programming by commodifying events, people, and places.
