I dream of spending a weekend in a cabin, snow falling outside, reading a book for PLEASURE, without worrying about the state of things (and my book). Not happening in 2025.

Save 30% on #NewBook "Homesick," by Nicholas Shapiro, which examines the US government's distribution of over 120,000 toxic trailers following Hurricane Katrina, their devastating health effects, and the need to create new forms of accountability and change. #EnvStudies #FEMA buff.ly/YDhRXx0
Cover of Homesick by Nicholas Shapiro. A small white mobile home is at the center of cover image, with a single window and a pipe protruding from its base. The scene is quiet and minimal, with gravel and asphalt in the foreground and large trees framing the background. The title “Homesick” appears in large, minimalistic serif text across the bottom, with the author’s name in smaller capital letters beneath it.

Puerto Rico is being used for military exercises and of course both mainstream and independent media isn’t reporting. The colony remains invisible.

Umberto Eco’s enduringly popular manual “How to Write a Thesis” is more than a guide for undergraduates; the book is a celebration of the magical process of self-realization.
A Guide to Thesis Writing and a Guide to Life
Writing and research manuals like Umberto Eco’s “How to Write a Thesis” offer a vision of our best selves, Hua Hsu wrote, in 2015.

Save 30% on #NewBook "Insurgent Visions" by Chandra Talpade Mohanty, presenting insurgent feminism—a theory and praxis with which to replace violence grounded in gender relations and radically transform everyday life. #FeministTheory #Activism buff.ly/6yWvrna
Cover of Insurgent Visions: Feminism, Justice, Solidarity by Chandra Talpade Mohanty. The cover features a bold, abstract illustration in red, pink, black, and teal tones. Stylized human faces and a human hand overlap with patterned abstract shapes in a collage-like composition. The larger human face is arranged adjacent to and underneath shapes that evoke a brain and spinal column respectively.

Our first review is out! Check it out:

Review: Pablo Delano at Chazen Museum of Art at the University of Wisconsin-Madison
The show of visceral rebellion uses force, humor, irony and deep, deep literacy to administer the artistic equivalent of a bullet between the eyeballs.
