Hard Aground: The Wreck of the USS Tennessee and the Rise of the US Navy
“Through meticulous research and gifted storytelling, Captain Andy Jampoler, U.S. Navy (Ret.) brilliantly weaves the ship’s plotline together with a fascinating period of U.S. Navy and broader American history that is little known, even among naval officers… I was awed by Captain Jampoler’s ability to tell Memphis’s story.”
—Captain Bill Hamblet, US Navy (retired) Editor-in-Chief, U.S. Naval Institute Proceedings
Learning from Birmingham
A Journey into History and Home
“Having long educated students and teachers about the “modern” Civil Rights Movement in the US, Julie Buckner Armstrong takes herself ‘back to school’ in Learning from Birmingham. She returns to this iconic city of her birth to trace her family’s history in order to tell a larger story about the history of her hometown, complete with an unflinching view of its legendary violence, resilient racism, and the elusive redemption it seems determined to find.”
—Deborah E. McDowell, Alice Griffin Professor of English at the University of Virginia
Frogs and Toads of Alabama
by Craig Guyer and Mark A. Bailey
Frogs and Toads of Alabama is the most comprehensive taxonomy of the anuran fauna gathered since Robert H. Mount’s 1975 volume on the reptiles and amphibians of Alabama. This richly illustrated guide provides an up-to-date summary of the taxonomy and life history of both native frogs and toads and those introduced to the state.
Infinite Constellations
Edited by Khadijah Queen and Kiini Ibura Salaam
The innovative fictions in Infinite Constellations showcase the voices and visions of 30 remarkable writers, both new and established, from the global majority: Native American/First Nation writers, South Asian writers, East Asian writers, Black American writers, Latinx writers, and Caribbean and Middle Eastern writers. These are visions both familiar and strange, but always rooted in the mystery of human relationships, the deep honoring of memory, and the rootedness to place and the centering of culture.
As if Fire Could Hide Us
A love song in three movements
As If Fire Could Hide Us explores the expansiveness of consciousness and compassion through and beyond the human body.
