  As formally inventive as readers have come to expect from one of the most daring writers around, and as wild and tricky as its subject matter requires, Goblinhood: Goblin as a Mode  presents us with a series of essays and poems that playfully, artfully propound Jen Calleja's theory of 'goblinhood'——a theory that takes in all aspects of pop culture from film, tv, literature and art as well as the author's personal and original examinations of grief, lust, family histories and the physical fact of living in the world as it is.
  
  Goblinhood  is a perpetually and variously curious, visceral addition to Calleja's remarkable oeuvre.

  Gods and Legends - Exploring the...

  Mythology has been an integral part of human civilization for thousands of years, shaping cultures, religions, and societal values. Across the world, ancient civilizations created elaborate myths to explain the mysteries of existence, from the origins of the universe to the forces of nature and the fate of the soul after death. These myths were more than just stories—they were the foundation of belief systems, influencing laws, traditions, and even the structure of governments. Whether told through oral traditions, inscribed on temple walls, or recorded in sacred texts, these legends provided meaning and guidance to those who followed them.  
    
  One of the most fascinating aspects of mythology is how civilizations separated by vast distances often shared similar themes. Myths of powerful gods, epic battles between good and evil, creation and destruction, and the hero’s journey appear in cultures across the globe. The Egyptian sun god Ra, the Greek titan Prometheus, and the Mesopotamian king Gilgamesh all embody different versions of the same fundamental human questions: Who are we? Where did we come from? What is our purpose? These universal themes suggest that myths were not just the product of imagination but reflections of the fears, aspirations, and wisdom of ancient societies.

  From the author of Bourbon, “the definitive history” (Sacramento Bee), comes the rollicking and revealing story of beer in America, in the spirit of Salt or Cod. 
  In The United States of Beer, Dane Huckelbridge, the author of Bourbon: A History of the American Spirit—a Southern Independent Booksellers Alliance bestseller—charts the surprisingly fascinating history of Americans’ relationship with their most popular alcoholic beverage. Huckelbridge shows how beer has evolved along with the country—from a local and regional product (once upon a time every American city has its own brewery and iconic beer brand) to the rise of global mega-brands like Budweiser and Miller that are synonymous with U.S. capitalism. 
  We learn of George Washington’s failed attempt to brew beer at Mount Vernon with molasses instead of barley, of the 19th century “Beer Barons” like Captain Frederick Pabst, Adolphus Busch, and Joseph Schlitz who revolutionized commercial brewing and built lucrative empires—and the American immigrant experience—and of the advances in brewing and bottling technology that allowed beer to flow in the saloons of the Wild West. Throughout, Huckelbridge draws connections between seemingly remote fragments of the American past, and shares his reports from the frontlines of today’s craft-brewing revolution.

  This biography of the Mexican revolutionary examines his rise from soldier to president to his continued influence as Jefe Maximo. Hailing from the border state of Sonora, Plutarco Elías Calles found his calling in the early years of the revolution, quickly rising to national prominence. As president from 1924 to 1928, Calles undertook an ambitious reform program, modernized the financial system, and defended national sovereignty against an interventionist U.S. government. Yet these reforms failed to eradicate underdevelopment, corruption, and social injustice. Moreover, his unyielding campaigns against political enemies and the Catholic Church earned him a reputation as a repressive strongman. After his term as president, Calles continued to exert broad influence as his country's foremost political figure while three weaker presidents succeeded each other in an atmosphere of constant political crisis. He played a significant role in founding a ruling party that reined in power-hungry military leaders and helped workers attain better living conditions. This dynastic party and its successors, including the present-day Partido Revolucionario Institucional (Party of the Institutional Revolution), remained in power until 2000. Through this comprehensive assessment of a quintessential Mexican politician, Buchenau opens an illuminating window into both the Mexican Revolution and contemporary Mexico.
