Book Description
Jeremy Longtail’s life is about to change. He is a gerbil who lives with a little girl named Carrie, who loses interest in him and leaves him alone too often. In his free time, he watches the “glowing box” that teaches him things about reading and about a faraway place called Mongolia, where his ancestors came from. Although he has no idea where Mongolia is, he is determined to find that place where gerbils still live in the wild and to make his home there. When Carrie moves to California, he is taken to a pet shop. Thanks to a frightened rabbit, Jeremy escapes from the pet shop, along with his new friend, Little, another gerbil. They first build a burrow in the park but come upon many dangers, including cats, dogs, and hungry rats. The real journey begins when Jeremy and Little end up in a mailbag! Follow Jeremy Longtail as he makes his way through adventures and misadventures, meets friends and enemies along the way, and learns about the many kinds of humans that shape the world around him—but will he ever make it to Mongolia?

Book Description
Throughout the world, people spend much of their time with animal companions of various kinds, frequently with cats and dogs. What meanings do we make of these relationships? In the ecocritical collection Reading cats and Dogs, a diverse array of scholars considers the philosophy, literature, and film devoted to human relationships with companion species. In addition to illuminating famous animal stories by Beatrix Potter, Jack London, Italo Svevo, and Michael Ondaatje, readers are introduced to the dog poems of Shuntarō Tanikawa, a Turkish documentary on stray cats as neighborhood companions, and the representation of diverse animal companions in Cameroonian novels. Focusing on “Stray and Feral Companions,” “The Usefulness of Companion Animals,” and “Problematizing Companion Animals,” Reading Cats and Dogs aims both to confirm and topple readers’ assumptions about the fellow travelers with whom we share our lives, our streets and fields, and our planet. Fifteen contributors from various countries reveal the aesthetic, ethical, and psychological complexities of our multispecies relationships, demonstrating the richness of ecocritical animal studies.

Book Description
It’s what you don’t know that kills you. Shara Desai left India to escape a dark past. Unfortunately, it has followed her to Florida in the form of murderous brother-in-law Vihan, who will stop at nothing to destroy her family and control a source of power they are unwilling to use. Her one hope lies in the man she once rejected. Disgraced analyst Crystal Dumont gets her break when an Indian billionaire hires her to scrutinise a competitor’s shady operations. The investigation shatters her logical world and leads her to unravel a mystery that has kept Asia’s elites in power for centuries. Now, Vihan plans to use the same illicit power to build a criminal empire in the States. To stop him, unlikely allies will have to escape hitmen, outwit an intelligence agency, and outrun time itself. The key to accomplishing all this is Jeremy Spade, a consummate adventurer who has every reason not to trust the system. Brimming with action, intrigue and romance, Fortune’s Favor is the first joint effort by internationally bestselling, inter-cultural, inter-generational author duo Thomas Locke and Jyoti Guptara.
