Book excerpt: “An urgent and deeply moving novel” (Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times) about a young American soldier struggling to find meaning during the final, dark days of the War in Iraq. The US military is preparing to withdraw from Iraq, and newly minted lieutenant Jack Porter struggles to accept how it’s happening—through alliances with warlords who have Arab and American blood on their hands. Day after day, Jack tries to assert his leadership in the sweltering, dreary atmosphere of Ashuriyah. But his world is disrupted by the arrival of veteran Sergeant Daniel Chambers, whose aggressive style threatens to undermine the fragile peace that the troops have worked hard to establish. As Iraq plunges back into chaos and bloodshed and Chambers’s influence over the men grows stronger, Jack becomes obsessed with a strange, tragic tale of reckless love between a lost American soldier and Rana, a local sheikh’s daughter. In search of the truth and buoyed by the knowledge that what he finds may implicate Sergeant Chambers, Jack seeks answers from the enigmatic Rana, and soon their fates become intertwined. Determined to secure a better future for Rana and a legitimate and lasting peace for her country, Jack will defy American command, putting his own future in grave peril. For fans of Phil Klay’s Redeployment or Ben Fountain’s Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk, Youngblood provides startling new dimension to both the moral complexity of war and its psychological toll.

A young escape artist and budding magician named Joe Kavalier arrives on the doorstep of his cousin, Sammy Clay. While the long shadow of Hitler falls across Europe, America is happily in thrall to the Golden Age of comic books, and in a distant corner of Brooklyn, Sammy is looking for a way to cash in on the craze. He finds the ideal partner in the aloof, artistically gifted Joe, and together they embark on an adventure that takes them deep into the heart of Manhattan, and the heart of old-fashioned American ambition. From the shared fears, dreams, and desires of two teenage boys, they spin comic book tales of the heroic, fascist-fighting Escapist and the beautiful, mysterious Luna Moth, otherworldly mistress of the night. Climbing from the streets of Brooklyn to the top of the Empire State Building, Joe and Sammy carve out lives, and careers, as vivid as cyan and magenta ink. Spanning continents and eras, this superb book by one of America’s finest writers remains one of the defining novels of our modern American age. Winner of the Bay Area Book Reviewers Award and the New York Society Library Book Award

Book excerpt: Adam Klay hates everything about his hometown. The last thing the accomplished FBI agent wants is to abandon the case he's working on and return to his past, but the death of his father forces his hand. Micah Ryan has been living on auto-pilot since his family perished years ago. All he needs is coffee, the attention of his cranky cat, and enough clients to pay the bills. Spending his days at the local espresso bar wrapping up case paperwork is better than dealing with his dad's estate. Plus there's the shy, sexy man Adam can't keep his eyes off of. For Micah tripping and falling into a handsome stranger's lap, at his favorite coffee shop, is bad enough. But the instant attraction he feels for the other man is mortifying--right? As it turns out there is at least one thing Adam likes about Skagit. And when a series of sinister incidents leave Micah vulnerable to an unknown killer, Adam vows to protect him. But does the threat to Micah stem from Micah's past, or has Adam's investigation followed him to Skagit? Can Adam protect Micah without losing his heart? Is Micah ready for love? And will they get their chance to explore their attraction or will the killer get there first? Storm Season is a dual POV about a terminally grouchy Federal Agent who discovers his softer side and a sweet man who thought he had nothing to live for. The Shielded Hearts series follows a different couple in each book as they try to stop killers, unravel a human trafficking ring, and find a family of their own.

Book excerpt: "The Stuff on the Inside" is a coming-of-age novel that follows a young student named Leslie Barclay. During his journey through college, Leslie battles with the finite nature of life, the collapsing health of those closest to him, and struggles to mask his identity crisis. The more the outside world fails him, the more refuge Leslie seeks within the walls of his college. Pursuing any means to cheat death and stay young forever, Leslie sells his soul to the masters that rule on campus. In this attempt to stave off the coming tide of adulthood, Leslie finds himself drowning in a sea of adolescence that he helped create. Only to discover a horrifying truth... you either get old, or you die. This novel touches on many adult conversations surrounding topics such as mental health, self-harm, death denial, and sexual assault. It is not intended for readers under the age of eighteen.

Absolutely hate those kids....Face it: The Knicks are dirty players. Let me take the back. They're not dirty players, but when things aren't going New York's way, they're going to do whatever it takes to win. And if that means hurting someone, then they'll do it. I'm not going to say that's dirty, but sometimes they take it to the extreme. On the mental side of the game: Everybody in the NBA knows how to play basketball or else they wouldn't be there. But what separates the good players from the great players is their mental capacity, not only to overcome their opponent, but to get through the tough spots...I always feel mentally stronger than any opponent I step on the same floor with. He might have more talent than I do, but I don't think anybody is mentally stronger than me. I'll match wills with anybody. On determination: On Cheryl Miller: "Cheryl, I got 39." "Reggie, that's great." "Yeah, so how'd you do?" "Uh, I got 105." Thing was, Cheryl didn't say it to be mean, But, damn, 105 points in one game? But I got my revenge a few years later... We got out to the court and shesaid, "Your ball." I told her she could have it first. So she kind of crouched down, made her usual strong first move, got right past me and put up the shot.Cheryl paused for a moment and then said, in a real serious tone, "We're going to play Hors

Book excerpt: An Iraq war comedy that “is everything that terrible conflict was not: beautifully planned and perfectly executed; funny and smart and lyrical; a triumph” (Darin Strauss, author of Half a Life). Fobbit ’fä-bit, noun. Definition: A US soldier stationed at a Forward Operating Base who avoids combat by remaining at the base, esp. during Operation Iraqi Freedom (2003–2011). Pejorative. In the satirical tradition of Catch-22 and M*A*S*H, Fobbit, a New York Times Notable Book, takes us into the chaotic world of Baghdad’s Forward Operating Base Triumph. The Forward Operating base, or FOB, is like the back-office of the battlefield—where people eat and sleep, and where a lot of soldiers have what looks suspiciously like a desk job. Male and female soldiers are trying to find an empty Porta Potty in which to get acquainted, grunts are playing Xbox and watching NASCAR between missions, and a lot of the senior staff are more concerned about getting to the chow hall in time for the Friday night all-you-can-eat seafood special than worrying about little things like military strategy. Darkly humorous and based on the author’s own experiences in Iraq, Fobbit is a fantastic debut that shows us a behind-the-scenes portrait of the real Iraq war. “This novel nails the comedy and the pathos, the boredom and the dread, crafting the Iraq War’s answer to Catch-22.” —Publishers Weekly, starred review

Book excerpt: "'Keep Calm and Carry On' has become one of the most recognisable slogans of the twenty-first century. But where is it from and why has it resonated so strongly with the modern British public? This book reveals the truth behind the now infamous poster, tracing its origins to the Second World War, when it was created to allay public panic in the event of a German invasion. Of course this feared invasion never happened, and the poster would have been resigned to the dusty shelves of history were it not for a chance discovery by the owners of Barter Books in 2001. Later seized upon as an encouragement in the economic crisis, 'Keep Calm' went on to become arguably the most successful meme in history. This book tells the story of that phenomenon, including colourful posters and archive photographs throughout."--

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bringing together important articles from Psychodynamic Psychiatry, this volume shows how contemporary practitioners are using a multidimensional biopsychosocial approach to increase the robustness of clinical research and the effectiveness of patient care. Chapters review cutting-edge approaches to formulating anxiety and mood disorders, eating disorders, traumatic grief, substance use and addictive behaviors, obsessive–compulsive disorder, personality disorders, schizophrenia, somatic symptom disorders, and trauma and stressor-related disorders. Treatment of specific populations is addressed, including infants and parents, children, spouses of the chronically ill, survivors of intimate partner violence, criminal offenders, and the elderly. Featuring rich case illustrations, the book integrates psychoanalytic concepts with advances in knowledge about neuroscience, gene–environment interactions, and the physiological impact of adversity.

At eighteen, newly minted adults are given their future role in society, The Nation as, a creator, a worker, a soldier, or a dependent. The Nation, a totalitarian regime that rose to power after a deluge decimated their country runs on a regime of productivity and enforces rigid social roles, down to designating that each family can only give birth once. Dr., and Ms. Workman, Klay and Keifer’s parents,’ social disrupters, hide a shocking secret―an illegal second child named Mist—the stakes become even higher for the family’s freedom. Will the Workman family sacrifice everything to protect their loved one from a regime that views her as a threat? In a society where conformity is law, individuality is forbidden, and choice is an illusion, will they find the courage to fight the power? Will their love know no boundaries?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Peacebuilding in Africa: The Post-Conflict State and Its Multidimensional Crises argues that building enduring peace in post-conflict states in Africa requires comprehensive, state-specific approaches that address the multidimensional crises that generated civil conflict and instabilities in these countries. Contributors examine states such as Burundi, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Liberia, Rwanda, Sierra Leone, South Sudan, and Sudan to demonstrate that peacebuilding projects in each of these states must address the cultural, economic, political, and social root causes of their respective underlying civil conflicts. In addition, contributors prove that peacebuilding projects must be shaped by the centrality of human security: the respect for ethno-cultural diversity, the advancement of human material well-being, the protection of political rights and civil liberties, and the redesigning of the military and security architecture to ensure the safety of all citizens from both internal and external threats.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nothing is deadlier than the obsession with love and power... Born to West Indian parents and growing up in a life of luxury, Zahira Kelly traveled the world, but no place could compare to her father's home, Jamaica. Jamaica was where she met her best friend and love of her life, Yasir. Life-threatening circumstances separated them, but once they are reunited, the memories created with him and her family on the beautiful island of Jamaica left her with sweet dreams and the worst nightmares of her life as the obsessions of enemies turned deadly. Growing up in a small but comfortable workers’ house on the Kelly estate in Kingston, Jamaica, Yasir spent the first six years of his life only coming out for a few hours of the day because his mother feared for his life. Meeting Zahira changed him forever and gave him the ambition to strive for greatness. He did just that. Reunited with Zahira and with a strong team behind him, Yasir was on top of the world, or so he thought. Turning a blind eye to the obsessed could be his deadliest mistake yet. Just as Yasir thinks he has rid himself of past enemies, the love between him and Zahira has conjured a new enemy close to him and deeply rooted in his personal and business life. Yasir finds himself fighting to protect the love of his life, family, and the empire he has worked so hard to get. Can their love survive deadly obsessions?
