Book Description
When we come to a crossroads, we have to make a decision. Which way do we go? Will it be the right choice? Is it about the road less taken or the choosing to put your hand into a mysterious box of doom? As a writing group, we decided that we wanted to put together an anthology and we wanted to select a common theme, a common thread, and that is how we came to the crossroads. The journey has been long and plagued with unlucky distractions, illnesses, and crazy lives. We pushed and groaned and finally got our creative selves moving. Our own crossroads took us in dizzying directions. Then the time came to put our work together and show you, our reader, how we tackled that thing: the crossroad. You will be entertained by a variety of types of literature. The short stories range from contemporary fiction to science fiction to poetry. We like to think we have a little bit of everything so that when you make your choice of what to read first, when you come to that crossroad, you will be taken on a journey that will fill your imagination with adventure, thrills, and more questions that don't have answers.

Book Description
Buffalo at the Crossroads is a diverse set of cutting-edge essays. Twelve authors highlight the outsized importance of Buffalo, New York, within the story of American urbanism. Across the collection, they consider the history of Buffalo's built environment in light of contemporary developments and in relationship to the evolving interplay between nature, industry, and architecture. The essays examine Buffalo's architectural heritage in rich context: the Second Industrial Revolution; the City Beautiful movement; world's fairs; grain, railroad, and shipping industries; urban renewal and so-called white flight; and the larger networks of labor and production that set the city's economic fate. The contributors pay attention to currents that connect contemporary architectural work in Buffalo to the legacies established by its esteemed architectural founders: Richardson, Olmsted, Adler, Sullivan, Bethune, Wright, Saarinen, and others. Buffalo at the Crossroads is a compelling introduction to Buffalo's architecture and developed landscape that will frame discussion about the city for years to come.

Book Description
Deepen your connection to the natural world with this inspiring meditation, "a path to the place where science and spirit meet" (Robin Wall Kimmerer). In Rooted, cutting-edge science supports a truth that poets, artists, mystics, and earth-based cultures across the world have proclaimed over millennia: life on this planet is radically interconnected. Our bodies, thoughts, minds, and spirits are affected by the whole of nature, and they affect this whole in return. In this time of crisis, how can we best live upon our imperiled, beloved earth? Award-winning writer Lyanda Lynn Haupt’s highly personal new book is a brilliant invitation to live with the earth in both simple and profound ways—from walking barefoot in the woods and reimagining our relationship with animals and trees, to examining the very language we use to describe and think about nature. She invokes rootedness as a way of being in concert with the wilderness—and wildness—that sustains humans and all of life. In the tradition of Rachel Carson, Elizabeth Kolbert, and Mary Oliver, Haupt writes with urgency and grace, reminding us that at the crossroads of science, nature, and spirit we find true hope. Each chapter provides tools for bringing our unique gifts to the fore and transforming our sense of belonging within the magic and wonder of the natural world.

Book Description
The meaning of Russia's past is in a process of continuous deconstruction, reshaping and negotiation by various social and political groupings. Of the deluge of group memories which have broken loose, this collection focuses on several new voices which have never been heard in Russia in this way before: women, Tatars, Cossacks, as well as the voices of religious and provincial populations. In addition, the volume sheds light on the creation of a multi-party system which paved the way for the expression of particular views and interests and generated much of memory's concepts and language.

Book Description
Adrift: Poems & Musings is a collection of poems which chronicles the author's rapid descent into clinical depression, and her slow but steady and triumphant climb through acceptance and peace into serenity and contentment. A lighthouse, on the shores of Charlevoix's Lake Michigan beach, is her beacon in the night. "Diane Marie-Louise presents the reader and hearer with words that rouble the sould and stir the heart. Her works are blunt reminders that out of suffering, alienation, and even personal horror, there is a beacon of hope - though it may be on a craggy rock in the midst of thick fog upon an endless sea." - The Publisher

Book Description
In Empire's Crossroads, Carrie Gibson offers readers a vivid, authoritative and action-packed history of the Caribbean. For Gibson, everything was created in the West Indies: the Europe of today, its financial foundations built with sugar money: the factories and mills built as a result of the work of slaves thousands of miles away; the idea of true equality as espoused in Saint Domingue in the 1790s; the slow progress to independence; and even globalization and migration, with the ships passing to and fro taking people and goods in all possible directions, hundreds of years before the term 'globalization' was coined. From Cuba to Haiti, from Dominica to Martinique, from Jamaica to Trinidad, the story of the Caribbean is not simply the story of slaves and masters - but of fortune-seekers and pirates, scientists and servants, travellers and tourists. It is not only a story of imperial expansion - European and American - but of global connections, and also of life as it is lived in the islands, both in the past and today.
