Poetry. "Paul Guest's poems are infused with tenderness toward the world despite its harsh indifference toward us. Literally and metaphorically, these are poems scratched out with a stick held between the teeth. And they manage to fashion, from life's rough lot, testaments of good faith to the flesh, the world, the word, and love in all its various garments"-Lucia Perillo. "Filled with irony, fantastic leaps of imagination and a poetic maturity most poets don't achieve for several books, this incredible debut works dialectically to resurrect our world among all its broken bodies. Here is a voice smart enough and sentient enough to know that the pain and the love of that world are two sides of the proverbial coin-a poet who, like Stevens' eagle, clearly sees the infinite alps of our emotions as a single nest"-Richard Jackson.

A masterful, phrase-by-phrase examination of the book of Romans from a pastoral perspective: 4 Volumes, More than 900 pages. Using the Book of Romans as expositional studies, Donald Grey Barnhouse carefully examines Paul's letter phrase by phrase, plumbing its immediate meaning as well as placing it in the larger context of Scripture. This allows Scripture to be interpreted by Scripture, bringing all the correlated truths of the Word to bear on each line and word of the epistle. This set is a wealth of interpretive material from a master exegete. Sometimes overlooked, Barnhouse's commentary on Romans is fundamentally conservative on doctrine, but presented with a pastor's heart for effectively communicating the sometimes difficult theological concepts of Romans with passion and in every-day language.

Brooklyn's Domino Sugar Refinery, once the largest in the world, shut down in 2004 after a long struggle. Most New Yorkers know it only as an icon on the landscape, multiplied on T-shirts and skateboard graphics. Paul Raphaelson, known internationally for his formally intricate urban landscape photographs, was given access to photograph every square foot of the refinery weeks before its demolition. He then met with former Domino workers to hear first-hand the refinery's more personal stories. He assembled a world-class team of contributors to help craft the book: Pulitzer Prize-winning photography editor Stella Kramer, architectural historian Matthew Postal, and art director Christopher Truch. The result is a thrilling mashup of art, document, industrial history, and Brooklyn visual culture. Strap on your hard hat and headlamp, and come inside to explore.

From the Werkbund to the Bauhaus to Braun, from furniture to automobiles to consumer appliances, twentieth-century industrial design is closely associated with Germany. In this pathbreaking study, Paul Betts brings to light the crucial role that design played in building a progressive West German industrial culture atop the charred remains of the past. The Authority of Everyday Objects details how the postwar period gave rise to a new design culture comprising a sprawling network of diverse interest groups―including the state and industry, architects and designers, consumer groups and museums, as well as publicists and women's organizations―who all identified industrial design as a vital means of economic recovery, social reform, and even moral regeneration. These cultural battles took on heightened importance precisely because the stakes were nothing less than the very shape and significance of West German domestic modernity. Betts tells the rich and far-reaching story of how and why commodity aesthetics became a focal point for fashioning a certain West German cultural identity. This book is situated at the very crossroads of German industry and aesthetics, Cold War politics and international modernism, institutional life and visual culture.

To the surprise of many, the Soviet Union ceased to exist in 1991, and out of its ruins arose an independent Ukraine. This was a remarkable achievement, and one that owed much to activities in Galicia, as Paul Robert Magocsi reveals here. Magocsi begins with a brief historical survey of Galicia, where Ukrainian national and cultural interests have long flourished. His subsequent essays focus on the role played by Galicia during the nineteenth century, when Ukrainians were struggling for recognition as a distinct nationality. He places Galicia in the larger context of Ukrainian and eastern European politics, then follows with studies of the nuts and bolts of nation building – language, culture, ideology and so on. He also explores the influence of the Habsburg Empire in creating unique conditions for Ukraine's national and social revival, and considers the impact of both Habsburg and Soviet rule on the Ukrainian national psyche. This study provides a solid background for understanding nineteenth-century Galicia as the historic Piedmont of the Ukrainian national revival. It is essential reading for historians, public-policy makers, and all those interested in regional differentiation within Europe's second largest country – Ukraine.

Poetry. Winner of the 2011 Sawtooth Poetry Prize, selected by Paul Hoover, CHINOISERIE travels through centuries in poems that carve wonder from ruin, from an illuminated manuscript to New York on the eve of disaster, the Emperor's nightingale to neon aquariums. A sensory flight, intricate in its vision, Ecclesiastic in its hunger, and brutal in its portrayal of a solitude that "could surrender / to the hammer or the flame," this book of curiosities draws inspiration from 15th century masters, Japanese animation, mid-century films, Marguerite Duras, and other sources. Inspired by an art created miles from its origins to become its own translation of landscape, texture, and pattern, CHINOISERIE disrupts boundaries between tribute and theft, reinvention and repetition. It evokes the fanciful as well as a darker potentiality, seeking a language "of pearl and roaring."

It's the perfect seaside resort. Pristine sand, mansions galore and, oh yes, that pesky guy stuffed into a 55-gallon drum on the beach. No face, no fingerprints - all have been burned away. It's enough to ruin Detective Matt Forge's already miserable day. In a first novel by veteran investigative reporter Paul D'Ambrosio, the New Jersey Shore and the Garden State's reputation for corrupt politics and organized crime set the scene for a bizarre local murder that leads detectives into a world of global financial crime. Cold Rolled Dead is a dark, gritty and wry look at a murder that takes Forge deep into the underbelly of modern-day political corruption - a place where high-stakes power grabs have supplanted cash bribes. Forge soon finds himself in a race against time to unravel an international, billion-dollar land scheme that reaches to the highest levels of government. In a fast paced story, the author, a highly honored editor and reporter, applies his understanding of how political campaign laws are abused and skirted, of the New Jersey criminal underworld, and of how money greases the many wheels of power. The author's tech-savvy grasp of cutting edge computer software, the latest in high-tech crime fighting tools and sophisticated digital security gadgets gives the book an of-the-moment verite. Set on New Jersey's summer Shore, the novel takes in all of the landscape - from the geographical to the political and criminal. The story is a thrilling three-day ride that can only end, fittingly, by a historic lighthouse under summer fireworks.
