A scientist attempts to bring her younger sister back to life with unexpected results in this Frankenstein-inspired graphic novel about ghosts, identity, and family



When Doctor Frances Ai's younger sister Maura died in a tragic accident six months ago, Frances swore she would bring her back to life. However, the creature that rises from the slab is clearly not Maura. This girl, who chooses the name "M," doesn't remember anything about Maura's life and just wants to be her own person. However, Frances expects M to pursue the same path that Maura had been on--applying to college to become a scientist--and continue the plans she and Maura shared. Hoping to trigger Maura's memories, Frances surrounds M with the trappings of Maura's past, but M wants nothing to do with Frances' attempts to change her into something she's not.

In order to face the future, both Frances and M need to learn to listen and let go of Maura once and for all. Talia Dutton's debut graphic novel, M Is for Monster, takes a hard look at what it means to live up to other people's expectations--as well as our own.

W. Ross Winterowd

Recent books have sounded the alarm about the ever-growing problem of illiteracy in the United States, and others have suggested ways to reverse the trend. Here W. Ross Winterowd, the author of a dozen books on composition and language, offers the most comprehensive account to date of the development, politics, and cultural significance of literacy. He points out that literacy is the key to political access to society--a powerful tool that many people may take for granted. But as the book makes clear, there are millions of Americans left on the periphery of culture and politics, unable to pursue the American promise of bettering oneself through education. Winterowd details the history and politics of literacy and explains how the withholding of these skills has been used as a means of social control. He gives a fascinating explanation of how people actually learn to read and write (and why some don't), highlighting his discussion with examples from student papers and a variety of published material. He concludes with a critical discussion of the various educational methods currently in use, and suggests how they can be improved.

Paperback (1 to 2 lbs)

The Education of a Diviner

This is an inspiring true story that draws the imagination into its own magical source -- where things become possible, and possibilities become things. It grips the reader like a Carlos Castaneda Don Juan tale -- for real. Horden shows how he discovered the divinatory mode of intuitive perception -- and relates in an engaging manner how a series of highly skilled teachers, life events, and "in-between-world" experiences trained him to develop it and use it wisely.

Miyamoto Musashi

"The Book of Five Rings" is one of the most insightful texts on the subtle arts of confrontation and victory to emerge from Asian culture. Written not only for martial artists but for anyone who wants to apply the timeless principles of this text to their life, the book analyzes the process of struggle and mastery over conflict that underlies every level of human interaction. "The Book of Five Rings" was composed in 1643 by the famed duelist and undefeated samurai Miyamoto Musashi. Thomas Cleary's translation is immediately accessible, with an introduction that presents the spiritual background of the warrior tradition. Along with Musashi's text, Cleary translates here another important Japanese classic on leadership and strategy, "The Book of Family Traditions on the Art of War" by Yagyu Munenori, which highlights the ethical and spiritual insights of Taoism and Zen as they apply to the way of the warrior.
