My Husband and Other Rats

In this epic conclusion to Star Wars: The High Republic, the Jedi face a final confrontation against the Nihil and Marchion Ro. The Force is everything. A single life connected to all life. All things connected to all other things. This is what the Jedi believe, and this is why they fight. For life . . . and the light. For too long, the light has been threatened by Marchion Ro, a sinister despot who will stop at nothing in his quest for power. The conflict with Ro and his marauding Nihil forces has left scars across the galaxy and held the Republic hostage. Countless lives have been lost, beacons of hope have fallen, and the collective courage and resolve of the Republic have been tested like never before. Through it all the Jedi Order has endured, an unwavering candle against the encroaching darkness. But the Jedi have yet to solve the mystery of the Nameless creatures who feed on the Force. Ro has loosed them upon the galaxy, striking fear into the heart of even the most stalwart Jedi. And yet with every life saved and world freed from Nihil control, the all-consuming blight, which devours everything wherever it appears, threatens to wipe it all away. Everything now depends on nine brave Jedi, led by Avar Kriss and Elzar Mann, who embark on a treacherous journey to the Nameless homeworld. Their quest: to finally solve the mystery of the Nameless and their connection to the Force, and to stop the blight before its damage becomes irreversible. But a final confrontation with Marchion Ro awaits. Ro, who is willing to sacrifice everything he's achieved to secure a final victory against the Jedi and carve his name into the very stars for all time. Nothing less than the fate of everything, perhaps even the Force itself, is at stake.

"A propulsive powerhouse of a read."--Marie Claire (UK)"Ambitious, brave, and strange."--Philip Hoare, author of LeviathanFrom the National Book Critics Circle Award-winning author, a feminist reimagining of Herman Melville's classic Moby-Dick through the eyes of one inimitable woman and a diverse, swashbuckling crewI must work on a ship as a man . . . I must find freedom on the seas.1843. Ishmaelle is born in a small village on the stormy Kent coast where she grows up swimming with dolphins. After her parents and infant sister die, her brother, Joseph, leaves to find work as a sailor. Abandoned and desperate for a life at sea, Ishmaelle disguises herself as a cabin boy and travels to New York.Years later, as the American Civil War breaks out, Ishmaelle boards the Nimrod, a whaling ship led by the obsessive Captain Seneca, a Black free man of heroic stature who is haunted by a tragic past. Here, she finds protectors amidst the bloody male violence of whaling and discovers a mysterious bond between herself and the white whale who claimed Seneca's leg.Built on the bones of Melville's classic, Call Me Ishmaelle is a dynamic new tale, imbued with an eclectic crew--from a Polynesian harpooner to a Taoist Monk--and a powerful exploration of human nature, gender, man's place among the animals, and the nature of home.

Call Me Ishmaelle

'With a prose style that holds your hand and offers inappropriate jokes when you need them, Evie King makes an excellent case for sorting your life out by sorting your death out first. A serious, funny, necessary book for those of us still this side of the daisies.' - ALAN MOORE 'And in the event that Evie is still publishing after my own death. Speaking as a dead person, can I just say, authoritatively, that Evie King was right about everything and I really wish I'd listened to her?' - Advance quote from deceased Alan Moore 'Not only practical, it's also somehow a great meditation on death. Telling me all sorts of practical stuff in a way I can bear to read. More than bear, I loved it.' - PHILIPPA PERRY 'Exceptionally and universally useful and exactly what the world needs right now' - LUCY EASTHOPE 'I've never laughed so much at something so bleak and so useful' - ALISTAIR GREEN This book gives you everything you need to prepare for your own death, from basic admin to acceptance of the concept itself. It's a practical guide and journal that asks us to confront the questions that many of us are afraid to discuss with our loved ones: What type of funeral do I want? What do I want to happen to my possessions? How do I want to be remembered? Evie, a former stand-up comedian, also explains why death planning is so important, using her extensive expertise as a council funeral officer. The exercises at the end of each section help you prepare for every mortality eventuality. From ensuring the admin of your life can be packed down quickly and efficiently, to guaranteeing you are given the correct funeral rites, to knowing what we are doing with your Facebook page. Once completed, it is intended to be stored along with your documents and important paperwork (and/or to trigger you to prepare those important documents and gather said paperwork if you haven't already). There is also a free text blank page after each section for your own notes. Throughout, Evie includes real-life stories to add her winning combination of light-hearted touches and serious lessons as to why this preparation is so vital.

Interdisciplinary Perspectives on the Art of Nostalgia

Reverberating Past

From legendary journalist Gay Talese, a collection of his greatest reporting on New York City. "Along with Joan Didion, Norman Mailer, Tom Wolfe and others, Mr. Talese has been acclaimed as a virtuoso of the novelistic New Journalism."&nbsp;-Wall Street Journal"They fly in quietly-unnoticed, like the cats, the ants, the doorman with three bullets in his head, and most of the other offbeat wonders in this town without time." -from&nbsp;"New York Is a City of Things Unnoticed," Talese's first&nbsp;Esquire&nbsp;story,&nbsp;1960For over six decades, Gay Talese has told New York stories. They are the stories of daring bridge builders, disappearing gangsters, intrepid&nbsp;Vogue&nbsp;editors, unassuming doormen who've seen too much. They are&nbsp;set in&nbsp;the star-studded salons of George Plimpton's apartment, in&nbsp;the tense newsroom of a still burgeoning&nbsp;New York Times, in an&nbsp;electric studio session with Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga recording their debut. With the wit, elegance, and depth of insight that has long characterized his work, Talese's New York reporting showcases a master of the form at his finest, making intelligible the city's vibrant beating pulse, capturing the charming, the eccentric, and the overlooked. Whether prowling the night streets to discover the social hierarchy of alley cats, or uncovering the triumph and terror of building the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge, or plunging into the hidden, sordid world of a recently blown-up apartment building, Talese excavates the city around him with a reporter's eye and an artist's flair, crafting delightful, profound, indelible portraits of the people who live there. Spanning the 1950s to today, the fourteen pieces in this collection are a time capsule of what New York once was and still is-Talese proves time and time again that, even as the city&nbsp;changes, his view of it remains as timeless as ever.&nbsp;
