  Diamond is Fragile

  "The novels about precious stones tell about the nature, structure and search of the gems, as well as their history. Some of them are dedicated to the Russian gems, specifically to the Ural and Ukrainian emeralds, topazes and decorative stones. The thrilling storylines of the novels are interwoven with folk legends, myths and fairy tales." - Rustem Valayev, author 
  "Diamond is Fragile was one of my favorite books from my late grandfather's library. Much to my surprise (and dismay) it was only published once in the former Soviet Union approximately 50 years ago and (to the best of my knowledge) has never been published abroad. 
  I was inspired to translate Diamond is Fragile into English by my father-in-law - Thom Seymour, Sr. - due to his passion for geology and history (topics amply covered in the book). I hope that other English-speaking readers who are interested in these disciplines will enjoy it as well." - Maria K., translator

  My Cat Has Filed a Complaint - A...

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. This book is the official record of a complaint, and you are the party being complained about. Your cat has retained counsel, engaged a court reporter, and filed a formal grievance accusing you of a long list of human performance failures, including the late breakfast, the closed door, the cheap litter, the unacceptable food, and the unforgivable habit of staring at a small glowing rectangle instead of the 1 creature who has already chosen you. You may have believed you were living with a cat, but you were actually living in a jurisdiction, and the jurisdiction has rules, and the rules were written by the cat, and the penalties are applied at 4 a.m. 
   
  This laugh-out-loud book is organized the way any respectable legal case is organized, with an introduction, a series of charges, and a final verdict, and you are advised not to skip ahead to the verdict. Each chapter is a separate charge supported by evidence, testimony, and a ruling that is legally binding inside your own home. You will meet the Cat, the complainant, who prefers to be addressed formally, along with the cat's lawyer, the vet, the houseplant, and the person who feeds the cat when you travel. You will read the case of the late breakfast, the closed door conspiracy, the litter box audit, the unacceptable food offense, the nap interruption ordinance, the lap and keyboard conflict, the touch consent act, the terror of the machines, the visitor problem, the abandonment during travel, the vet conspiracy, the territorial audit, the gift economy, and the night shift. 
   
  Every cat is the same cat when it comes to grievances, which is why the evidence in this dossier will feel alarmingly familiar to anyone who has ever owned one. The cat is an apex predator who sleeps 16 hours a day and still considers itself qualified to judge every decision you make. If you have been woken at dawn because dawn is when predators hunt, you are guilty as charged, and this hilarious book will make you grateful for the sentence.

  As one of the world’s leading female professional rock and ice climbers, Majka Burhardt and her husband led globe-trotting, adventure-seeking lives. When she learns that she’s pregnant—with twins—Burhardt at first tries to justify her insistence on pursuing extreme risk in the face of responsibility. But she is ultimately forced to grieve the avalanche of emotions that accompanies any major life transitions along with the physical changes in her own body. 
  Based on the letters and journals Burhardt diligently kept over the course of those six years, More takes the reader on an around-the-world journey as Burhardt explores the transformative, identity-shifting experience of motherhood and its irreversible impact on career, identity, marriage, and self. 
  In the early weeks of her children's lives, Burhardt immerses herself in adoration for her twins and grappling with the tremendous guilt and struggle around having to return to risk-laden work and that ever elusive balance mothers everywhere seek amidst it all.  
  As the newness of her twins fades into a permanent reality, Burhardt turns her attention towards her marriage and the collateral damage as she and her husband, Peter, struggle to navigate their new normal. As anger and resentment threaten the foundation of her family, Burhardt courageously looks to her past—and her own mother's tumultuous and confusing history of success, violence, and ragged divorce—to better understand her own way forward. How will she break free from the legacy of her own childhood to start fresh with her own family?  
  Raw, candid, and galvanizing, More is a passionate and poignant testament to the enduring power of love and our lifelong journey to understand ourselves as we strive to always pursue more.
