In 1791, the immense, new Federal City
designed by Frenchman Pierre L’Enfant
defined and balanced the powers of the People,
the States, the Judiciary, the Legislature and
the President, giving symbolic form to the
new democratic republic. But, over the
centuries, imbalances have crept into the
original plan, and Mann asks the dynamic,
intriguing question:
■
If the symbolism of the capital city is intended to be a
true expression of America’s heart and its innermost
values, what can be done to restore the balance and
integrity of its original, visionary principles?

I, City
By Pavel Brycz
Translated by Joshua Cohen
and Marketa Hofmeisterova
I, City is a novel about the north Bohemian city
of Most, an ancient city originally founded on
primeval wetland and literally relocated
because that wetland covered a coal field.
The city is the narrator of this unusual story:
it tells its own story through its inhabitants,
who make their appearances in fleeting,
ghost-like vignettes, and Joycean epiphanies.
The “I” is a whole consciousness – but
enough removed from the town that it sees
and knows everything, past and present.
The people of Most emerge from the swamp of
the town’s founding with an historical mistrust
of history and typical Czech irony. Here, in
the city, fictional people say factual things
and factual people (Kafka, the Pope, the last
president of Communist Czechoslovakia,
Gustav Husak) say fictional things.

was born in 1968. A graduate of
Prague’s Theatre Academy, he produced the
Czech slogan for KFC (roughly translated as
“damned good chicken”). He is the author of
six books. I, City won the Orten Prize and in
2004 Brycz became the youngest recipient
of the State Prize for Literature. In English
his work has appeared in the anthology Daylight
in Nightclub Inferno (Catbird, 1997).

Zen
Simply Sitting
By Philippe Coupey
“It doesn’t matter whether you are intelligent
or stupid. There’s no difference between a
dull and a smart person. Sincere concentrated
effort is, in itself, the Way.”– Dogen
An unique translation of this irreverent
classic, a short basic text on how to practice
zazen, written by the Master Dogen in 1227.
What’s new here that the text has been put
into everyday English, and given a
contemporary context by the author.
Based on Buddha’s teachings and venerated
in the Zen tradition, this text is regularly
recited in Zen temples. Though brief, it
remains a source of inspiration and
guidance for both beginners and advanced
students as it has for centuries. Dogen
invites the practitioner to give up intellectual
understanding and simply direct light inward.
■
Fukan means recommended for everyone, so this is not
an esoteric work limited to priests and monks
■
A NEW TRANSLATION
IN EVERYDAY ENGLISH
Zazen is the practice of sitting meditation
■
Gi is law or principles
Philippe Coupey,
a monk and master, is an
American who has lived in Paris for three
decades. Educated at the Sorbonne, he is a
writer and a disciple of the Japanese Master,
Taisen Deshimaru, who brought Zen to
Europe. Coupey directs a large European
community of monks and nuns and is an
officer of the International Zen Association.

The Lost Science of

“Well-written, innovative and challenging.”
– Aubrey Burl, Stone Circles of Britain,
Brittany and Ireland
Two leading researchers into ancient wisdom
demonstrate that the earth’s dimensions were
accurately known prior to 3000 BC.
These astonishing findings, available for the
first time, include a system of surveying and
measure based on simple numerical and
geometrical rules. The book documents that
remnants of this science still existed in
medieval times, when it became lost. It
appears that the system was applied
worldwide. Chapters include:

The SS Brotherhood
of the Bell
The Nazi’s Incredible
Secret Technology
By Joseph P. Farrell
In 1945, a 4-star SS general, Hans
Kammler, took a mysterious Nazi secret
weapons project file code-named The Bell
from its underground bunker in Germany
onto a massive Junkers 390 ultra-long range
aircraft. The Bell, Kammler, and the plans
disappeared completely, along with the
plane. It has been speculated that it flew to
Argentina.
As a prelude to this disappearing act, the SS
murdered most of the scientists and
technicians involved with The Bell, which
was a secret weapon that, according to one
German Nobel prize-winning physicist, was
given the highest security classification of
Decisive-for-War.

Egypt: “Image of Heaven”
The Planisphere
and the Lost Cradle
By Willem H. Zitman
“The precision of the Egyptians was
amazing by any standards, and there is no
doubt that the Pyramids were astronomically
designed.”– Patrick Moore
The ancient Egyptians were the first
geographical planners to develop a system
establishing an image of heaven on earth.
Their pyramids and elaborate burial schemes
assumed an earthy paradise for the dead.
Zitman is the first scholar to make sense of
this entire era of pyramid building by
revealing how time and space were perceived
by the Egyptians as sacred ingredients, and
that they mixed into a divine master plan,
which here, for the first time, is unveiled in
its entirety.
This book completes ten years of research
into how the Pyramid Field depicts The
Constellation of Horus, the deity of power
and invincibility. Is this depiction of Heaven
on Earth an inheritance of the mythical
Followers of Horus, who were said to rule
Egyptian in Predynastic times?
Willem H. Zitman was born in 1941 and
worked as a building engineer and project
manager. For over 30 years, he studied
astronomy, astrology, and ancient
chronology, and has applied these studies to
Egyptology. The author of one book in
English and three in Dutch, he lives near
Amsterdam and travels to Egypt frequently.

Quarreling with God
Mystic Rebel Poems of the
Dervishes of Turkey
Translated by Jennifer Ferraro
With Latif Bolat
This collection presents, for the first time in
English, a compilation of seven centuries of
the mystic hymns of Turkey’s rebellious Sufi
poets—the popular folk counterparts to Rumi,
whose poems are characterized by a passionate
and unorthodox commitment to truth.
FIRST TURKISH SUFI POETRY IN ENGLISH
At the time Rumi was writing, many other
great mystics in the region were also
composing wild, ecstatic and controversial
poems which were circulated among the
people as spiritual songs called nefes and
illahis, still played and sung today in sacred
Dervish ceremonies and gatherings. These
poems were meant to swiftly penetrate the
heart of the spiritual aspirant, and awaken
seekers to their divine inheritance, a
spiritual tradition from the Islamic world of
mystic love.

The Toxic Bedroom
By Walter Bader
Your bedroom should be a safe haven, but
more and more research is revealing that the
bedroom may be one of the most toxic places
in the home.
■
the average conventional mattress contains more than
50 gallons of toxic chemicals
■
our skin, the largest organ of the body, is also the most
porous entry point for these chemicals
■
mattress chemicals are regularly being found at
significant levels in human blood samples
Walter Bader outlines the dangers of the
toxic threats lurking in the home so that,
armed with knowledge, you can defend
yourself and your family against them.

The Complete
Bedwetting Book
Including A Daytime Program
For Nighttime Dryness
By D. Preston Smith, MD, FAAP, FACS, FSPU
Foreword by Michelle Passamaneck, MSN, RN,
CPNP, CUNP
Bedwetting is a common and frustrating
problem for millions of children and
families – and no one technique can
overcome this complex problem.
INDIVIDUALIZED SOLUTIONS
FOR EACH CHILD
Here, for the first time, is a unique overview
of all the possible causes and treatments for
nighttime wetting. Because the causes for
bedwetting are so highly variable, different
approaches need to be considered for each
child. And, since there is no magic pill or
cure, parents need to know all the tools that
are available to them in overcoming
bedwetting in their child. These are
informational keys parents can use to help
their children stay dry at night.

By Georges Remi, aka Herge
One of Tintin’s earliest adventures, written in
1932 (also rewritten in the 50s). In this fascimile
edition, it appears as it did 70 years ago, but with a
fresh, new translation.
Tintin and Snowy are on a cruise to Egypt when
they meet Professor Sophocles Sarcophagus (the
first of Tintin’s absent-minded professors) and
join his expedition. They become embroiled in a
complicated scheme involving a fakir, cigars
marked with an unusual brand, and Rajijah, the
poison of madness. The Adventures of Tintin
Georges Remi, aka Herge
(1907-1983), was born in
Belgium. The first
Tintin story appeared in
1929 in the children’s
magazine Le Petit Vingtieme.
The Adventures of Tintin in the
Land of the Soviets followed,
the first in a series of 23
full-length Tintin
adventures.
in the Orient Volume 1
Cigars of the Pharoah
An authentic facsimile of the original, with a
brand-new translation. Tintin travels to China in a
tale considered Herge’s first masterpiece, as well as
Tintin’s only foray into actual history, the SinoJapanese conflicts of the early 1930s. Political
tensions combined with chilling threats of drugs
give the story an especially realistic sense of danger.
Herge paints a vivid picture of China and
denounces ethnic prejudices – though ironically,
his depiction of the Japanese businessman is
grotesque.

Ragnar’s
Kings of the Road
By Ragnar
This stylized, visual exploration of American
hobo culture is chock full of appealing and
appalling images.
Characters you don’t want to know and
situations you don't want to encounter are
illustrated in a dazzling display of colors and
patterns. Was a nomadic existence of
working and riding the rails ever really this
ugly or beautiful?
Join the wonderfully poignant Ragnar as he
takes you on a fictitious trip across some
not-so-great parts of this great country with
some less-than-desirable traveling
companions.

Haunting B&W photographs of handmade
misfit dolls illustrate original stories of
mishap and misfortune.
Artist and storyteller Christy Kane creates
life size, one-of-a-kind dolls, then
photographs them in antique, even gothic,
settings to illustrate her original stories.
Each doll has a remarkably distinct
personality, each photograph is nuanced and
richly detailed, and the stories haunting.
This collection includes tales of:
■
Lily (who has lost nine fingers, one-by-one, due to her
careless fascination with a sewing machine)
■
Callalilly (whose unchecked temper has doomed her to
becoming a hook-handed piano player)
The triplets Hyacinth, Azaeleah and Violah (whose
baby sister Wisteria has gone missing under troubling
and mysterious circumstances)

Hi, How Are You?
Art, Life & Music
of Daniel Johnston
Second Edition
By Don Goede and Tarssa Yazdani
“It’s not an exaggeration to say that
March was Daniel Johnston Month in New
York. The Biennial features more than a
dozen of Mr. Johnston’s recent
hallucinatory pen and Magic Marker
drawings on view.”– New York Times
An illustrated biography of Daniel Johnston’s
life and art, including
■ extremely rare photos from his early childhood through
all stages of his career
■ Johnston’s own artwork
■ interviews with the people in his life
■ an up-to-date discography
Daniel Johnston has spent the last 20 years
exposing his heartrending tales of unrequited
love, cosmic mishaps, and existential torment
to an ever-growing international cult audience.
Initiates hail him as an American original in
the style of bluesman Robert Johnson and
country legend Hank Williams. A seminal
founder of the 13th Floor Elevators, he is feted
by many artists — among them Sonic Youth,
Yo La Tengo, and the Velvet Underground.
At the 1992 MTV Music Awards, Nirvana’s
Kurt Cobain wore a Johnston T-shirt.
Don Goede lives in Colorado. He conceived
the original Hi, How Are You? Handbook in 1999.
He has since spent five years traveling all over
the world on tour with Daniel Johnston.
Tarssa Yazdani is a writer and editor who
focuses on art, music, and popular culture.
She lives in New Jersey with her husband,
artist Ron English, and their two children.

American Gothic
The Art of Carlos Batts
By Carlos Batts
Foreword by John Gilmore
“Startling, shocking, vivid, confrontational.
Never less than fascinating and fearless.”
– Ellen Datlow, Editor, Blood is Not Enough,
Alien Sex, and The Dark
“If you put Matthew Barney and Helmut
Newton’s masterpieces through a meat
grinder and seasoned it with the Byzantine
elegance of Duccio, the result would be
the disturbing Gothic elegance of Carlos
Batts’s work.”– Greg Reifsteck, Fangoria
Madness and genius collide in Carlos Batts’
answer to Grant Wood’s 1930 portrait of the
same name: that granite-faced, pitchforktotin’ embodiment of what this country was
early last century. Today’s America is a very
different matter. Fuse Romare Bearden with
Man Ray, and you might come close to Batts’
vivisection of America’s diseased soul.
FRENZIED, EXPRESSIONISTIC HYBRIDS
OF HORROR AND BEAUTY
In 128 pages of experimental photography

Visions From Within
The Mechanism
The Industrial Surrealism of
Jeffery Scott (1019)
By Jeffery Scott (1019)
Is this the work of a visual genius or a
visionary madman? Or both?
The stunning and hyper-realistic
photography presented here is not captured
in real time, but through a laborious process
of manipulation. Each picture represents an
average of fifty hours of meticulous work in
which elements are assembled from dozens
of images to construct the combined whole.
INCREDIBLE GEIGERESQUE
PHOTOGRAPHS
Mr. Scott conjures amazing characters,
environments and situations that thoroughly
blur the line between the real and the
imagined. Layer upon layer of information
reveals in-depth philosophies, concepts and
stories. Thought-provoking titles
communicate ideas between artist and
viewer.
This is a stunning introduction to deep
emotive and contemplative realms.

Town of Evening Calm,
Country of Cherry Blossoms
By Fumiyo Kouno
A tender, yet unsentimental reflection on
the aftermath of WWII and the atomic bomb
on the common people of Hiroshima,
Japan.
Through the eyes of an average woman living
in 1955, Japanese artist Fumiyo Kuono
explores this dark period in a light, free
drawing style. As the characters continue
with everyday life, the shadows of the war
and the atomic bombing linger ghostlike in
the background in a series of interconnected
short stories. Kouno’s beautiful storytelling
touches the reader’s heart and raises
philosophical questions.
A widely-embraced, yet controversial, bestseller in Japan, this book has won several
prestigious awards including Grand Prize at
the 8th Japan Media Arts Festival (2004),
and the New Life Award at the 9th Osamu

In a world where magic and technology have
become intertwined, the Mages – the

become the Ultimate Weapons. What
happens when one of them is abducted, and
the planet is threatened with a new war that
could lead to global annihilation? The
Ultimate Weapons will meet the Ultimate
Warrior, Simeon 7.
Encountering military might, political

those who would oppose Simeon 7 find that
nothing can break the determination of a

Death Hulk
By Matthew Sprange
Orders to chase down the French frigate
Elita off the Cape of Good Hope come as
welcome news to Captain Havelock.
Stranded with the rest of the fleet at
Spithead while waiting for France to initiate

glory – and prize money!
The duel between the Whirlwind and its
enemy proves far from easy, however. Very
soon, Captain Havelock realizes that theirs
are not the only two warships in the
southern ocean – and an enemy long since
thought to be vanquished is returned from
the dead to exact a terrible vengeance!
Matthew Sprange has a solid history in
roleplaying design, having written over two

The Afterblight Chronicles
The Culled
By Simon Spurrier
The Blight arose from nowhere. It swept
across the bickering nations like the End of
Times and spared only those with a single
fortuitous blood type.
As the numbers thinned and societies
crumbled, the survivors picked their way
between silent streets and looked out on the
squalid new order...and reconsidered their
good fortune.
Hotheaded religion and territorial savagery
ruled the cities now. Somewhere amidst the
chaos, a damaged man received a signal, and
with it the tiniest flicker of hope ... and the
chance to rediscover the humanity he lost,
long ago, in the blood and filth and horror
of the Cull.

Spear of Destiny
By Jaspre Bark

Russia, but first he plans the ultimate act of

Karl has one chance to stop him – and a

of history.

Chess for Kids and Parents
My System
From the Start Till the First Tournament
By Aron Nimzowitsch
By Heinz Brunthaler
Learning chess has a very positive effect on
children: it increases their concentration and
expands their responsibility for their own actions.
Yet many parents who want to help their children
study chess don’t really know how to go about it.
This practical handbook teaches the mysteries of
chess with a light touch, yet covers all the rules and
aspects of the game. It helps children progress
from absolute beginners to competing in youth
tournaments through a simple, but effective, training
program. Many tests are included, with a special
section, Preparing for Your First Tournament.

Brand-new translation of this famous, classic chess
book recreates the author’s original intention.
English speakers have had only poor translations
that toned down and deleted many passages of
Nimzowitsch’s famous biting wit and controversial
opinions. Now English-speaking chess players can
read the real thing!
Aron Nimzowitsch (1886-1935) was one of the
greatest chess players of his day, and his reputation
as an author is higher still. He influences modern
chess thinking more than any other author.

Introduction by Tom McEvoy
“His book will make you laugh, will

The Guide To Lodging in
Italy’s Monasteries
Third Edition
By Eileen Barish
“Highly recommended.”– Library Journal
“This guide will intrigue travelers on a
strict budget looking for a holiday with a
twist.”– Budget Traveler
Staying at an Italian monastery is an exceptional
experience that allows travelers to enjoy an
unspoiled, more traditional Italy. For about $30
a day – often including meals – a monastery
vacation is filled with Italy’s rich history,
spectacular architecture and quaint local
customs. Although Europeans have long
enjoyed this inexpensive alternative to costly
hotels, the unique opportunity of staying in a
monastery is relatively unknown to US travellers.
Now American tourists have access to this
remarkable resource. This comprehensive,
new Third Edition is the key to planning an
unforgettable adventure that combines true
value with gracious hosts.

Finding Money. Raising

Keeping Money.
By Daniel Hogan, Ph.D.
Newest title in Silver Lake’s Taking Control
series.
Entrepreneurs can be their own worst
enemies. Often the very traits that lead them
to start businesses are the same traits that
keep those businesses from thriving. Their
inherent vision, drive and risk-taking can
lead to the demise of dreams because these
qualities are not necessarily the personality
traits that drive long-term business success.
ENTREPRENEURS CAN LEARN
TO MANAGE CASH FLOW
And often, entrepreneurs can be blind to
these home truths. Seeking dynamism and
risk, these personalities experience dramatic
money issues in their businesses as the
norm. And if they fail, they tend to
commonly attribute it to a lack of capital,
the difficulty of obtaining capital and, most
prevalently, to a lack of positive cash flow.
But, in fact, it is their own entrepreneurial
style that needs to evolve and mature – and

Surviving Identity Theft
A Consumer Handbook from
the Staff at Credit.com
By Emily Davidson
and John Ulzheimer
Identity theft is pure financial terrorism and
everyone is a potential target. If you have a
pulse, you are a target. In 2005, some 9
million Americans suffered some form of
identity theft, a sobering statistic.
Identity theft is the fastest growing crime in the
world – and contrary to popular belief, it is
not a product of new technology or the
Internet. Identity theft is a vicious personal
crime committed by terrorists, organized
crime, petty thieves, geeks, cyber-criminals,
drug addicts, gangs, and even family members.
They crawl through garbage cans, steal mail,
sneak around offices, infect computers, scan
credit and ATM cards, phish and pharm on
the Internet, pose as telemarketers or court
personnel, seek help moving money from
third-world nations, announce lottery
winners, even work as home care providers
for the elderly and chronically ill.
PROVEN ADVICE FROM
A TOP-RATED CONSUMER GROUP
And because methods of identity theft are
constantly evolving, consumers must
constantly be aware of and sensitive to
personal financial events. It is a crime that
knows no gender, age, socio-economic
group, race, creed, or color.
Emily Davidson and John Ulzheimer are
editors with San Francisco-based Credit.com,
established to give consumers access to
comprehensive education, info and best-ofbreed credit products and services. Their staff
is comprised of experienced alumni of lending
institutions, government regulatory agencies and
business publications. This is their first book.

So You’ve Been in an
Accident, Now What?
Everyone’s Guide to
Personal Injury Law
By Daniel Cuppett
Most people feel two things after they’ve
been in a car accident – or any accident: fear
and anger. As a result, they don’t always
make good decisions about how to act and
what to say in the aftermath. Lawyers and
insurance companies know this—and take
advantage of the confusion.
In this book, an attorney with a successful
personal injury practice gives ordinary
consumers insider’s advice on what to do
and what to say.
The book follows a chronological path from
the moment an accident takes place through
the final settlement of any legal disputes that
follow. It deals with various scenarios—most
importantly, whether the accident was your
fault or someone else’s. And it considers the
many matters that aren’t legal—but just as
important to someone recovering physically,
emotionally and financially from an
accident.

The Invisible War
The African-American War
of Liberation, 1739-1858
Edited by Y. N. Kly
Profound misconceptions about slavery are
still accepted by American historians:
captured Africans made no collective resistance to slavery
■
■
self-liberated Africans fled north, rather than south to
the free territories of Georgia and Florida
The so-called Seminole Wars were actually
an African-Indian vs. colonists war – which
the colonists disguised to prevent the
conflict from inflaming uprisings among
enslaved Africans. In fact, Seminole is a
Native Creek word meaning runaway – and
runaways were Indian resisters of the
defeated Creek Confederacy and African
slaves seeking freedom.
■
the Seminole Indians were never a historic Indian tribe
prior to these wars
■
the Creek Chief Osceola and John Horse’s supporters
lived and fought side-by-side in Florida
■
■
Osceola’s wife was an African, Morning Dew
though their political aims were different, they united to
fight an anti-colonial war of liberation
THE SEMINOLE WARS
WERE A SLAVE INSURRECTION
Why has scholarship since this period failed
to challenge the historical records? Though
history is shaped by the victors, it is rare to
find a situation of such near-erasure from
contemporary awareness. This book rights
the historical record.

Meet the Future Head-On
Rediscovering America’s
Progressive Majority
By Sander Hicks
Most Americans share common values and
want a few good, basic things in life which
transcend politics: a good job we can believe
in, a worthwhile education for our kids,
healthcare we can afford, a clean environment,
honesty from politicians, and peace.
All of which is too much to ask for from today’s
phony, careerist “leaders” in both big parties.
There’s a crisis going on, and it presents a
historic opportunity for some new politics.
So here are ten Principles for Progressives,
among them:

Marching Plague
Germ Warfare
and Global Public Health
By The Critical Art Ensemble
“We heard that the FBI and the Justice
Department made a ferocious effort to
stop the writing of this book, and after
reading it we understand why. Marching
Plague offers a radical reframing of the
discourse surrounding germ warfare.”
– The Yes Men
“Clear, convincing, commanding analysis
of the many ways biowarfare programs
have not and cannot secure this nation.
Anyone interested in our shared biological
future must read this book, in fear, and in
hope. My hope is that the prosecution
might.”– Natalie Jeremijenko
“For almost two decades, Critical Art
Ensemble has established the ground for
critical resistance against manipulations by
government, military, science and
industry...”– Greg Bordowitz
A radical reframing of the discourse
surrounding germ warfare. Autonomedia’s
sixth title from the Critical Art Ensemble,
Marching Plague dismantles the rhetoric around
germ warfare, showing how the empty
spectacle of threat is used by authoritarian
forces of order as well as the engines of profit.
The Critical Art Ensemble is a virtual collective of
radical arts theorists and critics, with members
scattered throughout North America. The
recent death of one of its members, Hope
Kurtz, brought about a federal investigation
into her husband, Steve Kurtz, an art
professor at SUNY Buffalo. Other members

Androphilia
A Homosexual Fetishist’s
Manifesto
By Jack Malebranche
“There are so many books exploring
“gay” identity on the market and most are
saturated with politcal correctness and
feminism. For too long the great heritage
of homosexuality has been ignored... A
wake up call to those who smell the scent
of real masculinity!”
– Robert Block – Living Traditions Magazine
Androphilia presents homosexual desire in men
not as a fixed orientation, but as a sexual
fetish or taste.
This is simutaneously a self-assured embrace
of homosexuality and an indictment of
mainstream gay culture’s celebration of
perpetual victimhood, effeminacy and
feminist gender theory.

Jack Malebranche rejects the gay moniker
completely, using instead the term
androphilia—literally, the love of men—to
specifically discuss the unique dynamic of
sexual desire and brotherly love between
adult men. Writing off the modern gay
movement as latter day Uranism and the gay
identity as the appropriation of an
emasculating stigma, Malebranche calls
instead for the celebration of innate
masculinity and an end to the self-loathing
and male-bashing that characterizes
contemporary gay discourse.
A rare howl of street-level dissent against a
culture defined and promoted by liberal
academics, activists and professional victims.

Butch Is a Noun
By S. Bear Bergman
“A smart, heart-filled, humorous and
touching piece about life as a gender
outlaw in today’s world.”
– Kate Bornstein, author of Gender Outlaw
“Delicious, funny funny funny, and boy
does it make you think!”
– Carol Queen, author of Real Live Nude Girl
“If queerness and gender, family and
friendship, fierceness and pride are the
stock-in-trade of Bergman’s work, an earthy,
good-humored reverence for humanity in all
its variegated forms is its foundation.”
– Hanne Blank, author of Big Big Love
An irreverent, tender, funny, difficult, sexy
narrative about growing up and coming out
butch, wrestling and embracing it, and then
wrestling with it some more.
Butch Is a Noun is a story of butch in its best and
worst moments, about butch in the context of
femme, butch in the orbit of another butch,
and butch trying to stand alone—sometimes
bravely and sometimes foolishly, sometimes
successfully and sometimes fatally. Butch is
revealed as a rich, complex, and highly
nuanced gender in its own right, picking up
where gender theory leaves off. It makes
butchness accessible to those who are new to
the concept, and its finely observed detail
makes gender outlaws of all stripes feel as
though they have come home.
S. Bear Bergman is a writer, a theater artist, an
instigator, a gender-jammer, and an
overeducated contrarian. He has published
essays, poems, and short fiction in a variety of
books and magazines, is a book reviewer at
gendercrash.com and a perennial favorite at
queer spoken-word events. A frequent
lecturer at hundreds of universities on

Curating Immateriality
Edited by Joasia Krysa
How has the Internet changed art curation?
And what socio-political pressure does
cyberspace bring to bear on the work of the
curator? Articulated through two key issues,
immateriality and network systems, this book
considers how the practice of curating has
been transformed by distributed networks.
Because curatorial production has now been
expanded to include the space of the
Internet, the focus of curatorial attention
has been extended from the object to
processes to dynamic network systems,
multiple agents and software. This upgraded
‘operating system’ of art presents new
possibilities of online curating that is
collective and distributed — even a selforganizing system that curates itself. The
curator is part of this entire system but not
central to it. Chapters include:

Taming Storm Surges
When Ecology, Engineering
and Faith Meet
By Bob Onan
This first novel is about how vulnerability to
forces of nature creates loss of dignity,
minimal health care, and economic
deprivation for a nation’s people.
Storm surges and flood tides regularly attack
the coastal barrier islands of Bangladesh,
then surge inland. Tibetan mountain rivers
laden with snow and glacial melt and
accelerate downhill. These waters flood the
villages, croplands, and animal habitat in
Bangladesh. They spread death, destruction
and disease.
The story begins on this stage of despair. A
veneer of phony opulence covers the abject
poverty of the people of these ravaged lands.
But one person, a doctor from Bangladesh,
has seen enough. His skills and experience
enable him to diagnose the inner problems
of his country as well as the health of its
people. His search for solutions leads him
into unchartered international waters,
where he finds assistance, colleagues, love,
faith and success.
Bob Onan has engineering and law degrees
from the University of Wisconsin and lives
in St. Paul, Minnesota with his wife Gail. A
gardener and bird watcher, he supports
Earth Justice, the Wilderness Society,
Greenpeace and the Natural Resources
Defense Council.

Despite her intention to rest and prepare for
her baby, she is drawn into the situation
surrounding her cousin Jenny, who claims
she is being stalked. Jenny hints at nefarious
dealings in her past as a racehorse trainer,
and accidents seem to happen with
astonishing frequency at her thoroughbred
farm. As Jenny’s only relative and friend,
Gail wants to support her cousin, but can’t
sort out truth from fiction as she tries to
discover who the stalker (and eventual killer)
might be: Jenny’s ex-husband, her former
lover, his wife, or an unscrupulous player on
the racetrack scene?
As the accidents become more serious, Gail’s
concern becomes desperate and personal,
leading her to a dark confrontation where
she must use all her wits to survive. With
much accurate detail about horses, this is a
winning combination of a truly gripping
story and a big life change for the popular
protagonist.
Laura Crum, a fourth-generation Santa Cruz
County resident, has owned and trained
horses for over thirty years. She lives near

“Another terrific Port Silva mystery, with a

characters, and above all, marvelous
prose. She takes on complicated
contemporary issues with aplomb.”
– Ayelet Waldman, the Mommy Track mysteries
In late 2002, with the prospect of war in Iraq
looming, an unauthorized and peaceful antiwar protest march in Port Silva suddenly
degenerates into a riot, filling the jail and
the emergency room.
Private investigators Patience and Verity
Mackellar are hired to look into the
background of a missing protester and find
that he has none. But their investigation
reveals other old secrets, cover-ups and
crimes lurking in the past.
A DEAD ANTI-WAR PROTESTER
HAS NO PAST
La Pierre explores the nature of a democracy
and its citizens’ responsibilities when their
government defies their wishes. All shades of
opinion are examined in this suspenseful
novel, written by a master of the genre.
Janet LaPierre is a five-time nominee for the
Shamus, the Macavity, and the Anthony. Her
eight previous Port Silva novels have garnered
critics’ raves, writers’ respect, and readers’
love. She lives in Berkeley with her husband.

Philippine Fever
A Sam Haine Mystery
By Bruce Cook
“A riveting tale as contemporary as tomorrow’s
breaking dawn. Bruce Cook is a major talent.”–
Kent Braithwaite, The Wonderland Murders
“A wild, convincing ride of a crime novel
peopled with characters who stick long
after the story ends. Cook needs to write
another one—-this cast should return.”
– Kirk Russell, Deadgame
“I couldn’t put it down…We eagerly look
forward to more!”– Kim Reis, Armchair

Harv Tucker, good ol’ boy from Oklahoma,
sells primo roosters in Manila, the world’s
cockfighting capital. With his profits he buys
Chinese AK-47s and sells them to paramilitary groups. When his body turns up
behind a notorious Manila sex club, the
ensuing homicide investigation becomes
international.
Sam Haine, decorated ATF agent, teams up
with a world-weary Filipino detective, Bogie
Lorenzano. Though Sam is a fish out of
water in the Philippines, and Bogie doesn’t
care if Sam goes belly up, the two cops share
a strong sense of justice.
The many underworld players vying for the
container of guns also traffic sex-slaves, buy
indentured workers, sell industrial secrets,
and arrange kidnappings for ransom. It’s all
just business. Then Sam discovers that US
intelligence may be involved with competing
rebel groups, Bogie finds that his ex-lover is
deeply involved in the crime syndicates, and
the action heats up.
Bruce Cook has written, produced, and
directed many films and teaches cinema at

and mathematician, he earned an MS and a
PhD in Film and Communications. In the
90s he was a consultant to ABS-CBN, the
top TV network in the Philippines. He has

47 Rules of Highly
Effective Bank Robbers
By Troy Cook
“A stunning debut…will make you think
someone transported Carl Hiaasen to the
desert Southwest.”
– Steve Brewer, Bank Job, Whipsaw
“One of the funniest reads of the year,
shot through with scenes of pure chaos
that will stay with you long after the book
is finished. Bravo for a rip-snorting debut!”
– David Skibbins, High Priestess, Eight of Swords
“Fast paced ... lovable characters ...
enough humor to break the tension. Wellwritten...”– Allbooks Review
Rule #36: To make your point – cock your weapon. The
sound of the hammer being pulled back will inspire an
automatic attitude adjustment. They might even wet their
drawers.
At the tender age of nine, Tara Evans is one of
the youngest bank robbers in history. Instead
of braids, ballet and baby dolls, Tara’s toys are
Smith and Wesson. Tara’s father Wyatt trains
her with an eccentric system of rules for a
successful heist. Wyatt believes most of
society’s ills can be solved with a .38
Peacemaker and a stiff drink – and his system
reflects his uniquely deranged perspective.
Tara pulls her first job with her father – with
dangerous, yet comic, results and continues
for thirteen years. Then Federal Agent
Stratton is assigned to the case, bringing his
stupidity, bloodlust, and the resources of his
senator father to bear on the duo.

“One of the most gorgeous books I’ve ever
read: it’s witty and wonderful, with characters
that will provoke, charm and delight.”
– Holly Black, Tithe
“A magical mixture of Dumas and

where society’s rules only loosely apply.
Katherine is the niece of Alec Campion, the

uncle’s designs: he wants her to be something
unique, something never seen before: a
swordswoman. The Privilege of the Sword is a novel
of love, betrayal, scandal, and secrets. Set
between Kushner’s backlist favorite, Swordspoint,
and her collaboration with Delia Sherman,
The Fall of the Kings, Privilege is an marvelous tale
crackling with energy, wit, and wonders.

Finnish Fantasy
Edited by Johanna Sinisalo
Translated by David Hackston
“... intriguing and eye-opening. Rooted in
the myths and legends of Nordic sagas,
it’s very alive to the modern world, too.”
– Matt Warman in The Daily Telegraph
These stories have two common denominators:
nature and war. Finland is sparsely populated,
and its citizens form close ties with nature;
historically, it has also been torn between the
empires of Sweden and Russia.
Wolf Bride, by Aino Kallas, is set in the mid17th century. Aalo, a woodsman’s wife,
watches a wolf hunt. Later, she can’t resist
joining the wolves and becomes a werewolf.
At night she runs with wolves, by day she
plays the part of a devoted wife. It’s an eerie
tale with an unexpected ending.

“Goethe clothed our modern existence with
poetry.”– Ralph Waldo Emerson
This is a work of literature in its own right. First

Huysmans’s life and work. Written with impeccable
scholarship, it remains a standard work of reference
to this day.
“Goethe was a glorious specimen of a man.”
– Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
This new translation by an award-winning

Where Witch Birds Fly
By Eugene Harkins
A novel about the strange and horrific 1990s
civil war in Sierra Leone in the twilight of
the Cold War.
A toxic brew of forces unleashed a
conflagration in the small West African
nation competing for Big Oil and Big
Diamonds. External powers, foreign
mercenaries, and the local Lebanese trading
community all pillaged and degraded the
African population until a brutal
insurrection broke out.
The protagonist, Richard White, is an
African-American international lawyer who
is in Sierra Leone to collect a forty-million
dollar oil debt. He returns a second time,
representing Lebanese interests in the illicit
diamond trade, only to be kidnapped and held
for ransom by the Revolutionay United Front.
The story is an illuminated portrayal of
White’s process of loss and redemption, as
this successful American comes to terms with
his anomie triggered by his rejection of
family and ethnic heritage. White’s road to
peace lies through the maelstrom.
Eugene Harkins is an international lawyer
who worked with Texaco, West Africa and
Gulf Oil in Latin America. He began his
career with the State Department, and holds
a JD from Rutgers and an advanced degree
in International, Foreign and Comparative
law from NYU. He has worked and traveled

Girl on a Stick
V
By Kathleen Bryson
By Jennifer Natalya Fink
A floating blue apparition of the Virgin Mary. That’s
what Clementine Logan, jaded American, sees from
the window of her London bus. This is the first in a
series of alarming religious visions triggered by her
new relationship with fellow foreigner Per, a greeneyed Norwegian undergraduate.
What is the nature of the voice we constantly hear
drumming in our heads? Whose is it? Why does it
have such a peculiar, negative force? Is this voice what
defines our humanity, or what destroys it? These are
the questions of V, a novel which places at its center
the relationship between the human, the animal, and
the inanimate. V is based on a story the author’s
Brazilian-Jewish grandmother tells to explain why she
left São Paulo, Brazil, after World War II. Like most
family myths, the story changes every time she tells it
but it always involves a monkey, a gun, a hat, a man,
and, implicitly, a girl: the author’s grandmother.
The story always concludes with the same line, “And
then I knew: I had to leave.”
Set against a backdrop of gritty East London streets
and post/pop-everything academia, Clementine’s
relationship with Per grows more twisted, the
miracles grow weirder, and soon something snaps.
As a young teenager, she was abused by her local
priest who tormented her through word-games,
puzzles, and rebuses. Now Clem’s religious visions
add up to the greatest rebus puzzle of all.

“Biting!”– Kenneth Anger, filmmaker, author
A twisted, surreal coming-of-age tale. Left to her
own devices after the untimely death of her parents,
Nina West makes no apologies and has no
conscience. Too cool for school, too hot for
television, and too scandalous to be believed, Nina is
the twisted tale of an object of desire that gives as
good as she gets, a cross between Terry Southern’s
Candy and Jim Thompson’s The Killer Inside Me.
A twisted excursion into seething sexuality,
desperate alienation, incest and conscienceless
violence — destined to be as controversial as Lolita.
Brutal in its realism, Crazy Streak is no fairy-tale
romance, but as believable as a confused, visceral
nightmare.

there are fewer things which have a shorter
cultural shelf life. Every era has produced its
own distinctive style of erotic imagery. And,
more than any other photographic subject,
the nude resists being separated from its
social context; photographers who try
overlook one of the most crucial demands
placed upon erotic photography. Gauging
the sexual aesthetic requires a feeling for the
relationship between subject and observer at
that particular moment, and these images
capture an immediate, moment of natural
trust with the camera and the viewer.

Fresh
Girls of Seduction
By Dave Naz
“... a true southern California artist. His
sexy imagery is casual without pretense.
When one looks beyond the surface, the
work is seen as much more: a cultural
artifact giving clues to the sexual identities
and persona of our time.”– Chas Ray Krider
The mystique of the young girl receives a
sustained erotic performance of innocence
and sexual frankness in Fresh. Naz compounds
the intensity through his range of setups,
enabling these adult women, who exude the
Lolita type, to playfully suggest or display
their sexual allure. Of course Lolita is not as
entirely innocent as she and half of society
would have you believe, and Dave Naz has
gathered an eclectic mix of candidates to
complete the Lolita fantasy or confirm the
certainty of its debasing potency.
was born in Los Angeles in 1969,
and grew up at the intersection of Beverly
Hills glamour and Hollywood grime. In
1987, he left to make music onstage with
Nirvana, the Ramones, Mud Honey, L7, and
other bands. In 1995, with no formal
training, he picked up a camera and started
photographing people. Since 1998, Naz’s
photographs have appeared in over thirty
gallery shows. His work has been featured in
Black + White, FHM, GQ, Leg World, Maxim, Nerve,
Salon, Stern.de, and other prominent venues.
His work has been praised by cultural artists
as diverse as Lydia Lunch, Richard Kern,
Gregory Dark, and Nina Hartley.

feel confused about getting their needs met.
This guide is for understanding and making
the most of your—or your lover’s—fetish, and
learning that normal sex is exactly the kind of
sex you enjoy.

Severed
The True Story of
the Black Dahlia
New Revised Edition
By John Gilmore
“The most satisfying and disturbing
conclusion to the Black Dahlia case. After
reading Severed, I feel like I truly know
Elizabeth Short and her killer.”– David Lynch
“The most uncanny evocation of LA during
and after the war... His portrait of Elizabeth
Short as a strange, unknowable somnambulist sleepwalking through that unique
junction of time and space is permanently
haunting.”– Gary Indiana
The Black Dahlia murder hit post-War Los
Angeles like a bombshell and this
impenetrable mystery was the haunting
crown jewel of LAPD’s unsolved murders.
Even before her savage death, beautiful 22year old Elizabeth Short, an aspiring starlet
and nightclub habitué, was known as the Black
Dahlia. Since her horrible demise, she has
become a magnetic icon in American pop
culture, a mythical symbol of noir Hollywood.

NEW EDITION OF THE LA NOIR
CLASSIC TO ACCOMPANY THE
UPCOMING BRIAN DE PALMA FILM
In this new, expanded edition, John
Gilmore plumbs to the dark core of this
