Book Description
Turns out shooting a Pinkerton is still a crime—even if he is a werewolf. Book 2 in the Otherworld Outlaws series, an action-packed romp through the Wild West, loaded with living myths, dark magic, and bloodthirsty monsters aplenty. On the run from US marshals, Lula and her motley crew—Hattie, Toxicore, and Uncle Paddy, lately resurrected as a cat—head for Deadwood. Lula hopes to find Dagda's cauldron before the Morrígan or Brigid does, but sinister crows, diminutive dragons, and folks dropping dead from the unusual illness of being bled dry are just a few of the issues hindering her search. And now she has a bigger problem: her face is on every wanted poster from the Dakota Territories to Boston. Lula’s uncle once told her she was as pretty as a picture, but this isn’t quite the same thing. To clear her name, she would have to convince the law that magic and fairies are just as real as poker and horses. Not likely to happen. With her enemies closing in, she best find that cauldron before the law or the warring queens of the Tuatha Dé Danann find her. But finding the cauldron and taking it are two different things… especially when its monstrous ancient guardian has other ideas.

Book Description
The West wasn’t won with grit and guns. It took a sawbones with fae blood to git ’er done. Book 1 in the Otherworld Outlaw series, an action-packed romp through the Wild West, loaded with living myths, dark magic, and bloodthirsty monsters aplenty. Lula Cullen isn’t sweet and gentle, and she’s got no time for anyone’s guff. Esteemed Bostonian surgeon, she’s a woman with a career in a time when the very idea is laughed at. And nothing, not even her fiancé and his Brahmin family’s traditional values, is going to get in her way. Until… Her ambitions are derailed like a runaway steam engine when her uncle and only living relative is killed in a freak lightning accident. His dying words—“Find Toxicore Darkheart. He’s the only one who can protect you now”—launch Lula into an ill-conceived and unchaperoned trip to Abilene, Kansas, where hanged men dangle for days for minor crimes and only married women are considered respectable. Mistaken for a soiled dove the minute she hits the frontier, Lula decides to hell with respectability and starts swinging her uncle's shillelagh at anyone who asks for it. And the West sure has a lot of folks asking for it. Upon finding Darkheart, whose peculiarities go well beyond his odd name, she unearths long-buried family secrets tied to her bloodline, secrets that ultimately led to her uncle’s murder and the disappearance of her parents when she was an infant. And worse, much worse, she discovers that though she’s the one hunting for the truth—she's also being hunted. Caught between a werewolf, a necromancer, and two fae queens of the Tuatha Dé Danann, Lula has to trade her scalpel for a Colt .45 and do it fast. Because they’re not just after her, they’re after her blood.

Book Description
In The Triumph of Improvisation, James Graham Wilson takes a long view of the end of the Cold War, from the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan in December 1979 to Operation Desert Storm in January 1991. Drawing on deep archival research and recently declassified papers, Wilson argues that adaptation, improvisation, and engagement by individuals in positions of power ended the specter of a nuclear holocaust. Amid ambivalence and uncertainty, Mikhail Gorbachev, Ronald Reagan, George Shultz, and George H. W. Bush—and a host of other actors—engaged with adversaries and adapted to a rapidly changing international environment and information age in which global capitalism recovered as command economies failed. Eschewing the notion of a coherent grand strategy to end the Cold War, Wilson paints a vivid portrait of how leaders made choices; some made poor choices while others reacted prudently, imaginatively, and courageously to events they did not foresee. A book about the burdens of responsibility, the obstacles of domestic politics, and the human qualities of leadership, The Triumph of Improvisation concludes with a chapter describing how George H. W. Bush oversaw the construction of a new configuration of power after the fall of the Berlin Wall, one that resolved the fundamental components of the Cold War on Washington’s terms.

Where conscience informs praxis, and action infects consciousness, T.A.Z. is beginning to worm its way into above-ground culture.This book offers inspired blasts of writing, from slogans to historical essays, on the need to insert revolutionary happiness into everyday life through poetic action, and celebrating the radical optimism present in outlaw cultures. It should appeal to alternative thinkers and punks everywhere, as it celebrates liberation, love and poetic living.The new edition contains the full text of Chaos: The Broadsheets of Ontological Anarchism, the complete communiques and flyers of the Association fo Ontological Anarchy, the long essay 'The Temporary Autonomous Zone,' and a new preface by the author.'A literary masterpiece...'

A witch, a lich, and a druid walk into a saloon… It’s the start of a bad joke, and Lula sure can’t see anything funny about it. Not when the punch line’s a killer. Book 3 in the Otherworld Outlaws series, an action-packed romp through the Wild West, loaded with living myths, dark magic, and bloodthirsty monsters aplenty. Thanks to an unwelcome visit in Deadwood by the savage serpent god Quetzalcoatl, Lula has been talked into—or is it suckered into?—revising their bargain. Certain it’ll cost her dearly, she nevertheless packs up and hightails it to Denver. According to Quetzalcoatl, a man named Brother Havóq has Lugh’s Spear. It’s the key she needs to free her father from the Morrígan, and she’ll face hell or high water to get it. Wouldn’t you know it though? Turns out, it’s not hell that waits for her in Denver. But the man she’s seeking may as well have come from there. Caught in a lethal game of poker with an Aztec god, bounty hunters, witches, and an undead creature with an… unexpected… past, Lula has to ante up or die trying. And even though she’s a novice at the game, she knows one thing for sure: In order to beat the devil—someone’s got to cheat.

Book Description
This book is a meditation on and an attempt to understand suicidal violence in the immediate context of its most recent political surge: the decade between 2001 and 2011, from the suicidal mission of Muhammad Atta and his band in the United States to the suicide of Mohamed Bouazizi in 2010 in Tunisia. After the former a devastating military strike and occupation of two Muslim countries commenced, and after the latter a massive transnational democratic uprising ensued. Suicidal violence is neither specific to Islam nor peculiar to our time. It has been manifested in practically all cultures and religions and throughout human history. But the suicidal violence we witness today is of an entirely different disposition because the bodies (both of the assailant and of the assailed) on which it is perpetrated are no longer the human body of our Enlightenment assumption. What we are witnessing is in fact the contour of a posthuman body. The posthuman body, as Dabashi here proposes, is the body of a contingent and contextual being, and as such an object of disposable knowledge; while the human body that it has superseded was corporeally integral, autonomous, rational, indispensable, and above all the site of a knowing subject.
