Book excerpt: Swaziland is where you think, for the first time, maybe if I got brain fever I would be able to stop worrying. I’d lose control and, maybe then, I’d understand my friend’s mind. In an attempt to break free from rationality and make her life a work of art, Gigi Fenster decides to induce a fever in herself. Fever, she surmises, is a ‘particularly writerly thing’. What follows is a captivating memoir of that attempt. Feverish ranges over Fenster’s childhood in South Africa, her relationships with her psychiatrist father, her troubled friend Simon, and her mother and four siblings, through to New Zealand and her relationships with her two teenage daughters. As she traverses her life, Fenster asks questions about bravery, transgression, vulnerability and the value we place on art.This memoir is a witty, intelligent, original examination of what it means to be a compassionate human being. ‘Without empathy,’ she writes, ‘one cannot tell the full story. There can be no proper care.’

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The poems in this collection are located between a lost world and today’s modernity, poised between celebration and lamentation, as icons of loss and yearning. The reader is carried into unfamiliar spaces of scenery and also of language, as the translators retain echoes of the Korean originals, intent on transmitting each poet’s vision of an unfamiliar other place to readers who are eager to be transported. - Brother Anthony, literary translator and professor emeritus of Sokang University

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From 1793 to 1805, yellow fever devastated U.S. port cities in a series of terrifying epidemics. The search for the cause and prevention of the disease involved many prominent American intellectuals, including Noah Webster and Benjamin Rush. This investigation produced one of the most substantial and innovative outpourings of scientific thought in early American history. But it also led to a heated and divisive debate—both political and theological—around the place of science in American society. Feverish Bodies, Enlightened Minds opens an important window onto the conduct of scientific inquiry in the early American republic. The debate between "contagionists," who thought the disease was imported, and "localists," who thought it came from domestic sources, reflected contemporary beliefs about God and creation, the capacities of the human mind, and even the appropriate direction of the new nation. Through this thoughtful investigation of the yellow fever epidemic and engaging examination of natural science in early America, Thomas Apel demonstrates that the scientific imaginations of early republicans were far broader than historians have realized: in order to understand their science, we must understand their ideas about God.

Dragons do it better. At least, that’s Thrett Lacerta’s motto—at work and at play. The Wildridge Security specialist has a stellar reputation as a trusted member of a small team that maintains peace within the Los Angeles shifter community, but in his personal life he’s earned a nickname that’s both accurate and disheartening: The King of One-Night Stands. Rylan Wilson is just a human. One that’s raising a half-dragon son, the product of a single night of incredible passion. Despite the challenges, she’s not only learned how to raise a shifter child, but to teach them as well. And as the principal of an elite shifter school, it’s her responsibility to keep the kids safe. So when a possible threat emerges, she calls in the best: Wildridge Security. When the two meet for the first time in eight years, Thrett struggles to understand his bond with the sexy, curvy human, while Rylan tries to find a way to tell the ultimate bachelor that he’s a daddy. Can they find their way back to each other, or will outside forces destroy the very thing that links them?
