After twelve months of military service in Iraq, Michael

Anthony stepped off a plane, seemingly happy to be
homeor at least back on US soil. He was twenty-one
years old, a bit of a nerd, and carrying a pack of cigarettes that he thought would be his last. Two months
later, Michael was stoned on Vicodin, drinking way
too much, and picking a fight with a very large Hells
Angel. At his wits end, he came to an agreement
with himself: if things didnt improve in three months,
he was going to kill himself. Civilianized is a memoir
chronicling Michaels search for meaning in a suddenly destabilized world.

DEATH
Id always heard that the hardest part about returning from

war is adjusting to the changes that happen while youre
away. The world goes on without us.
NEW!
AN oral history
By Casey Jarman
A month ago, I had been in Iraq working in a combat support hospital. I was an operating room technician and assisted doctors
during surgerypicture a scene in a movie or TV show where a doctor yells Scalpel! and then a mysterious hand reaches over
with the necessary tool. Thats what I did. I was that hand. I was cauterizing wounds, suturing skin, and sawing through limbs,
along with handing over scalpels. I was saving lives while trying to stay alive. And now, as I stared at David jumping around,
I couldnt believe Id been home a month. It felt like five minutes and it felt like five years.
Death is an inevitable reality that we must all face at

some point. It can be difficult and perhaps painful to
consider, but just as life can give great meaning to a persons death, so too can death help enhance a persons
life. In this eye-opening collection of interviews, Jarman
interviews cultural anthropologists, gravediggers, filmmakers, philosophers, ambulance drivers, and more for
their stories, insights, and experiences.
I kept walking. Lit another cig. I needed to clear my head. I needed to get out of there.
I needed to head back to Massachusetts. Maybe home would help.

that engage, questions for further discussion, and resources

diverse but uniformly impressive group of womenopen
the door to new conversations on one of the hardest topics

44% of rape victims are children and adolescents.

Only 68% of rapes are reported and 2% of rapists spend time in jail.
Almost 2/3 of rapes are committed by someone known to the victim.
I wish Id never gone through any of the trauma I did. But since I cant erase my past, Im glad that I can
use it to help others know that theyre not alone, and that things can get better. Books are powerful tools for
healing and for increasing compassionfor ourselves and for others. I know theyve helped me, and I love
that my books are helping others.
I dont want a second of sympathy. I want them to simply acknowledge that what
I did, how I survived, how I made myself into a successful, stable woman is a hell
of a lot more important than what you did.

Bleed, Blister, Puke, and Purge
NEW!
Americas Medical Middle Ages

By J. Marin Younker
Riots over the medical use of cadavers. Public access to institutions for the insane. And
full-blown surgeries without the aid of anesthetics or painkillers. Welcome to the middle
ages of American medicine. Bleed, Blister, Puke, and Purge exposes the extraordinary
practices and major players of American medical history, from the colonial era to the late
1800s. Its hard to believe that todays cutting-edge medicine originated from such crude
beginnings, but this book reminds us to be grateful for todays medical care, while also
raising the question: what current medical practices will be the horrors of tomorrow?
WITCHES AND WITCHCRAFT
NEW!
A HISTORY
By Richard Faulk
The witch is an indelible part of our cultural imagination, but what do we really know
about her? Is she a hapless victim of history or symbol of female resistance? Whats
really the difference between a wise elder and an old crone? Witches and Witchcraft
sifts through the rich and contradictory evidence to trace the development of the
witch as a cultural phenomenon. Ultimately, the changing face of the witch is a mirror
of our constantly changing ideas of spirituality, magic, creativity, gender, and the human relationship with the natural world. The witchs story is far from over.

Rosalie Gardiner Jones and the March for Voting Rights

By Zachary Jack
In 1912 and 1913 a young activist named Rosalie Gardiner Jones formed an all-women
army and marched 500 miles across five states demanding equal rights for women.
General Jones and her all-female band of colonels and lieutenants were a
shocking affront to many, but they would march nearly 170 miles through snow and
sleet to Albany in an important gesture which would help facilitate the passage of the
suffrage acts only seven years later. The story has been largely forgotten over time,
but this incredible and inspiring story is well worth reconsidering as we renew our
engagement with questions of civil and voting rights across America.

PRISON ISLAND
Votes of Confidence
A GRAPHIC MEMOIR
By Colleen Frakes
NEW!
A Young Persons Guide to American Elections

By Jeff Fleischer
McNeil Island in Washington state was the home of one of the

last prison island in the U.S. It was also home to about fifty families, including Colleen Frakes. Xeric and Ignatz Award-winning
comics artist Frakes tells the story of a typical girl growing up in
atypical circumstances in this charming graphic memoir.
Every four years, coverage of the presidential election turns more

into a horse-race story about whos leading the polls and who said
what when. Social medias great at providing breaking news, but
less great at providing context. Younger readers, who might only
be old enough to remember one or two other elections, arent provided with much information about how the election process actually works, why it matters, or how they can become involved. Votes
of Confidence seeks to remedy that deficit by offering a fun, weird,
and illuminating guidebook for young Americans seeking to better
understand their government and its history.
Nostalgic and melancholy, a highly specific example of the idea

that one cant go home again. Publishers Weekly
In black-and-white, sparely drawn yet expressive cartoon artwork [a] gratifying memoir of an unconventional childhood.

THE RISE AND FALL OF earths most dominant species

By Jeff Campbell, illustrated by Adam Grano
Over 40,000 years ago, the earth was ruled by megafauna: mammoths
and mastodons, saber-toothed tigers and giant sloths. But evolution
(and humans) have led many of these giants to extinction. Globalization, beginning with Columbus, has already destroyed the black rhino,
the giant tortoise, and the great auk; but for other species, there is still
time. Last of the Giants chronicles these giant animals and provides
an astonishing portrait of an ancient world that is vanishing before our
very eyes.

Heroes are superhuman. Or, at least, its easy to assume that when you read rippedfrom-the-news stories of derring-do. But in reality, almost anyone whos motivated
can be a hero, and the heroes who make the biggest impact arent always the ones
who make headlines. This approachable, research-backed guide will equip kids with
the tools they need to become an everyday hero. Along the way, youll hear from real
heroes living out the truth of psychologist Phil Zimbardos words: Most heroes are
ordinary. Its the act of heroism thats extraordinary.

Arguably one of the most prominent current Supreme Court Justices, Sonia Sotomayor has paved her own way to enact profound changes and reforms, despite

housing projects in the Bronx in her youth, and fought against blatant discrimination throughout her career. Now in her early sixties, Justice Sotomayor has already
made history in being appointed to the Court as the first Latina justice, the third
woman justice, and one of the three youngest justices in this position.
