Winner of the Pulitzer Prize, the National Book Critics Circle Award, the Robert F. Kennedy Book Award, and the American Book Award, the best-selling Common Ground is much more than the story of the busing crisis in Boston as told through the experiences of three families. As Studs Terkel remarked, it's "gripping, indelible...a truth about all large American cities." 

To an American, oligarchy is something that happens somewhere else. In Oligarchy in America, Luke Winslow reveals oligarchy's deep intellectual roots and alarming growth in America. The book provides conceptual tools the lack of which have prevented Americans from recognizing oligarchy at home. Winslow argues that generic labels like "billionaires" for a class of ultra-rich masks the pervasive structures that entrench their power. 

In the 80s and 90s, surf culture was toxic, especially towards women. But Pauline Menczer - a dirt-poor, chronically ill, freckle-faced teen from Bondi - defied insults and intimidation to ride the waves. The reason: she simply loved to surf. But when Pauline's determination propelled her onto the pro circuit, her battle for acceptance and equality didn't end there. The endemic sexism of the industry meant prize money for women was a pittance, while sponsors ignored her because she was a lesbian and didn't have the beach babe look.

Das Erbe seines Vaters hat Lukas Bärfuss ausgeschlagen: Es waren vor allem Schulden. Die markante Nase seines Vaters hat er dagegen schon an seinen eigenen Sohn weitervererbt. Den Genen entkommen wir nicht, doch wie steht es um ein auf Privatvermögen zielendes Erbrecht, das uns, obwohl kaum hundert Jahre alt, wie ein Naturgesetz vorkommt? Wie steht es um die Verantwortlichkeit jenseits der familiären Bindung, wie steht es um die Teilhabe der Nachgeborenen, deren Schicksal wir bestimmen mit dem, was wir ihnen hinterlassen, unser Erbe, unseren Müll.

In Night of the Dogman: Vengeance, the third instalment of the gripping series, the stakes have never been higher. The town of Hickory is once again plunged into terror as the legendary Dogman resurfaces, driven by a primal need for vengeance after her offspring is taken. Adam, Jerry, and Rick—survivors of the previous encounters—find themselves facing a new nightmare, one more terrifying and deadly than before.

James Stevens was, at one time, a good man with a great life. After the tragic death of his wife and losing custody of his little girl, James is at the darkest crossroad of his life. Angry, desperate, and unable to hold down a steady job, he agrees to drive a box truck on a shady, one-time trip cross country for cash -- no questions asked. When he discovers what he is delivering is actually a who, the questions in his mind begin haunting him mercilessly. James becomes an unlikely hero who must fight to save the lives of two young women and finds himself falling in love with one of them.

A year after surviving the Dogman's terror, Adam, Jerry, and Rick's nightmare returns. The beast's vengeful sibling has emerged, hunting them down and leaving a trail of bodies in its wake. As the attacks escalate and the body count rises, the trio teams up with Sheriff Scott Walters and the FBI to stop the bloodshed. But this Dogman is smarter, deadlier, and relentless in its pursuit of revenge. With Hickory on the brink of chaos and betrayal threatening from within, Adam, Jerry, and Rick must face their darkest fears. Will they outsmart the beast, or become its next victims?

After the devastating loss of his family, Adam retreats to the tranquil hills of Southern Missouri, hoping to rebuild his life. But peace quickly turns to dread when disturbing events shatter his sanctuary: mutilated deer carcasses, enormous wolf-like tracks, and chilling glimpses of a cryptid that seems more nightmare than reality, the Dogman. With only his loyal border collie, Fletcher, for comfort, Adam enlists the help of friends Jerry and Rick. Together, they must face an unimaginable threat, a predator as cunning as it is ruthless.
