Suspicious Wizards
Heather Bellarose is happier than she has been in a long time. Returning to Cave River, Arizona, and reconnecting with her sisters has filled a void she hasn’t realized she’s been missing. However, nothing is ever perfect. Her sixteen-year-old daughter doesn’t like her for moving them away from Seattle. Then Brady, Heather's ex, moves to Cave River, stirring up all kinds of mixed emotions. Their relationship is complicated at best. Heather isn’t sure she can trust him not to leave her again. Nothing can be simple, especially when the boarding house burns down, and Brady has to stay at the Bellarose mansion. Heather puts him in the farthest room from hers, of course. The evil warlock who is set on buying up the whole town is causing chaos. Cate is cursed, and Heather and Rae work to break it all the while running the cat cafe and fulfilling their duties outlined in their grandfather’s will. Losing her heart to her ex-husband for the second time isn’t the only thing Heather has to worry about. She and her sisters must save the entire town.
Derrida's Politics of Friendship
25 years after the publication of Derrida's Politics of Friendship (Politiques de l'amitie, 1994), this edited collection gathers 23 critical chapters that revisit this underappreciated text. Engaging closely with Derrida's text, the contributors analyse, extend and critique the work. They reconsider the place this book occupies in Derrida's political philosophy and its potential for contemporary politics, when the promises and perils of political friendship have reappeared.
No Better Place to Die
This "outstanding memoir" of a WWII soldier's experience at Normandy gives "a fuller picture of what the 82nd [Airborne] accomplished on D-Day" ( WWII History). In the dark early hours of D-Day, nearly every airborne unit missed its drop zone, creating a kaleidoscope of small-unit combat. Fortunately for the Allies, the 505th Regimental Combat Team of the 82nd Airborne Division hit near its drop zone. Its task was to seize the vital crossroads of Sainte Mère Eglise and to hold the bridge over the Merderet River at nearby La Fière. The paratroopers reached the bridge only to be met by waves of German tanks and infantry. Reinforced by glider troops, the 505th not only held the vital bridge f...
The Deleuzian Mind
Gilles Deleuze was one of the most influential philosophers of the second half of the twentieth century. As with other French philosophers of his generation, such as Jacques Derrida and Michel Foucault, Deleuze’s work and his collaboration with Félix Guattari has also had huge influence in other disciplines, particularly literature, film studies, architecture, and science and mathematics. The Deleuzian Mind is an outstanding collection that explores the full extent and significance of Deleuze's work, its reception and its legacy. Comprising 38 chapters written by an international and interdisciplinary team of contributors, the volume is divided into eight clear parts: Situating Deleuze A ...

Saying Peace
Levinas's big idea is that our lived sense of moral obligation occurs in an immediate experience of the otherness of the Other, and that moral meaning is grounded in alterity rather than identity. Yet he also held what seemed an inconsiderate, or "eurocentric," view of other cultural traditions. In Saying Peace, Jack Marsh explores this problem, testing the coherence and adequacy of Levinas's central philosophical claims. Using a twofold method of reconstruction and critique, Marsh conducts a holistic immanent evaluation of Levinas's major works, showing how the problem of eurocentrism, and abiding ambiguities in Levinas's political and religious thought, can be traced back to specific problems in his general philosophical methodology. Marsh offers an original analysis of Levinas's method that verifies and extends existing critical work by Jacques Derrida, Robert Bernasconi, Judith Butler, and others. This is the first book to foreground the normative question of chauvinism in Levinas's work, and the first to perform a holistic critical diagnosis of his general philosophical method.
