Sacred Migration: An Indigenous Elder's Vision for Our Future

"It's time for a spiritual migration, says Choctaw elder Steven Charleston. Two million years ago, our earliest ancestors undertook the first migration. Now, in a time of upheaval and chaos and dread, we must move again. Around us, things are shutting down. We are moving backward in our evolution. Brutality and passivity, greed and xenophobia reign. Tools and technology will not save us. While our ancestors knew their survival depended on our relationship to Mother Earth, we act as if the Earth were a resource to be exploited rather than a relative to love. But across Turtle Island, Indigenous people are inviting others to join them on a sacred migration. It's a journey rooted in perception, imagination, humility, and kindness. In this book, the beloved author of Ladder to the Light, Steven Charleston, draws on Native spirituality to show us the way. Charleston is not content to let the Trail of Tears define the history of his community. With his trademark mix of gentle warmth and piercing vision, he offers the story of a kind of migration that arises from the deepest parts of ancient human culture. In Sacred Migration, Charleston shows us how his ancestors understood migration as a spiritual journey. He reveals holy places, like kivas and mounds and the medicine wheel, and points us toward the hope that will orient us. And he shows us how to create an altar to sustain us. This journey is life-giving and restorative, and it's one we take together. Migration is a process by which people not only travel but transform, Charleston says. We do not need to sit still in our despair, and in this much-anticipated book, he invites us to travel, together, toward a new home."

Renaissance Men: Agents of Medical and Cultural Modernity

"The gripping, untold stories of three unsung Black physicians and their critical contributions to the field of medicine and American culture, from the National Book Critics Circle Award-winning author of Medical Apartheid Between 1847 and 1952, three New York City doctors transformed medicine, catalyzed racial equity, elevated American culture, then were all but lost to history—until now. James McCune Smith, MD., Rudolph Fisher, MD., and Louis T. Wright, MD each helped shape our nation and advance medicine while sharing overlapping passions—an uncompromising, even militant opposition to racial fetters; medical research that refused racial denigration; and literary acumen. While not strictly contemporaries, they were bound across time through obstacles that parallel those we confront today. Medical exclusion and disparagement, rampant healthcare inequities paired with housing segregation, racial abuse and police violence, lynching, the suppression of Black history —and even racial bars to higher medical education—that mirrored today’s challenges to affirmative action. In this comprehensive slice of previously unrevealed history, renowned writer and scholar Harriet Washington sheds light on Black physicians who pioneered important medical achievements that benefit the health of all Americans. Renaissance Men draws parallels between contemporary and historical medical exclusion and healthcare inequities and reveals a powerful argument for supporting current medical aspirants of color. Surfacing this long-buried history shows us what genius we stand to lose if medicine doesn’t rectify its current course of racial exclusion."

Through dozens of profiles of teachers, and some students, Canada’s most authoritative news voice, Peter Mansbridge, along with veteran journalist Mark Bulgutch, recount true stories of teachers on the front lines of this vital profession as they contend with students’ challenges with their course material, mental health, language skills, sexuality, and many other matters.

Bite Marks & Broken Hearts

"How to destroy your life: - Leave Ireland in the dead of night to flee to London; - Get yourself dragged into an alley by a demon, marked, and doomed to die; - Gain a mysterious, fatally attractive stalker/savior. One with strangely sharp teeth . . . Flynn: I never asked for this. Okay, maybe a little. After all, the demon was undeniably hot. But I certainly didn't sign up to become his prey—because now my chest burns with ice as dark magic grows inside me and he'll be back to collect it. Thankfully, I have a savior. Tall, dark, and handsome, though his vintage dress sense is slightly pretentious and his aversion to sunlight is a bit strange. But if he keeps looking at me like I'm something worth devouring, I might just let him. Sebastián: Five centuries has taught me three rules: stay detached, stay focused, and never, never feel too much. I built Killigrew Street to control London's supernatural underbelly. We keep order in the shadows, we maintain the balance, and we absolutely do not rescue pretty Irish boys and lock them up in our hotel. Except, apparently, we do now. He's marked. He's stubborn. He has an infuriating habit of throwing himself headfirst into danger. And he's my problem to solve. When my protective instincts quickly twist into feelings, I know I should walk away. But my cold, dead heart seems to have other ideas. For how long can I keep my true vampiric nature from him? In the meantime, at least watching him try to figure out why everyone keeps making bat jokes in front of me is admittedly entertaining. Contains mature themes."

But when she falls off a balcony and he catches her with a very real skeletal hand, she realizes he may not be a party guest at all. Before she can process the near-death experience, he vanishes, leaving her to wonder if she hallucinated the whole thing. Grim isn't supposed to save souls. He's supposed to reap them. And while he's not sure why he spared Helena, he does know that if his superiors find out, he's as good as dust—which is saying something for a guy who's mostly bones. But keeping away from Helena is proving harder than expected—especially when she isn't the least bit afraid of his monstrous form. Worse, to his horror, Helena makes him feel. And for a reaper, feeling is a fate far more dangerous than death."
