............................ Doesn't love mean being truly
yourself? Elisheva Cohen has returned to New York after a decade
away. Her past holds wounds, but four years of sobriety and a
scholarship to study photography with art legend Wyatt Cole are
signs of good things. Even better, her first night in the city
leads to a mind-blowing hookup. But when Wyatt Cole walks into the
classroom, Ely realizes the man she just spent the night with is
her teacher. The art world is obsessed with the immensely talented,
notoriously reclusive Wyatt Cole. But Wyatt's past is a painful
memory. After coming out as transgender, Wyatt was dishonourably
discharged from the military and disowned by his family. Since
then, her has worked hard for his sobriety and flourishing career.
He can help Ely with her photography, but he cannot fall in love
with her. Through the lens of her camera, Ely must confront the
reason she left New York: the Orthodox community that raised her,
then shunned her because of her substance abuse. And as Wyatt's
walls begin to break down, each artist fights for what's right in
front of them - a person who sees them for all that they are and a
love that could mean more than they ever imagined possible.

Featured in Seventeen, The Verge, Hypable, School Library Journal,
Publishers Weekly, The Nerd Daily, Booklist, and SyFy Wire. In the
former United States, sixteen-year-old Noam Alvaro wakes up in a
hospital bed, the sole survivor of the viral magic that killed his
family and made him a technopath. His ability to control technology
attracts the attention of the minister of defense and thrusts him
into the magical elite of the nation of Carolinia. The son of
undocumented immigrants, Noam has spent his life fighting for the
rights of refugees fleeing magical outbreaks-refugees Carolinia
routinely deports with vicious efficiency. Sensing a way to make
change, Noam accepts the minister's offer to teach him the science
behind his magic, secretly planning to use it against the
government. But then he meets the minister's son-cruel, dangerous,
and achingly beautiful-and the way forward becomes less clear.
Caught between his purpose and his heart, Noam must decide who he
can trust and how far he's willing to go in pursuit of the greater
good.

In the sequel to The Fever King, Noam Álvaro seeks to end tyranny
before he becomes a tyrant himself. Six months after Noam Álvaro
helped overthrow the despotic government of Carolinia, the
Atlantians have gained citizenship, and Lehrer is chancellor. But
despite Lehrer’s image as a progressive humanitarian leader, Noam
has finally remembered the truth that Lehrer forced him to
forget—that Lehrer is responsible for the deadly magic infection
that ravaged Carolinia. Now that Noam remembers the full extent of
Lehrer’s crimes, he’s determined to use his influence with
Lehrer to bring him down for good. If Lehrer realizes Noam has
evaded his control—and that Noam is plotting against
him—Noam’s dead. So he must keep playing the role of Lehrer’s
protégé until he can steal enough vaccine to stop the virus.
Meanwhile Dara Shirazi returns to Carolinia, his magic stripped by
the same vaccine that saved his life. But Dara’s attempts to ally
himself with Noam prove that their methods for defeating Lehrer are
violently misaligned. Dara fears Noam has only gotten himself more
deeply entangled in Lehrer’s web. Sooner or later, playing double
agent might cost Noam his life.

Bring home heart-warming love with this kid-tten friendly
collection of literature and art dedicated specifically to cats!

toys, and blankets for the many cats and dogs seeking forever

The first in-depth study of Japanese fermentation science in the
twentieth century. The Arts of the Microbial World explores the
significance of fermentation phenomena, both as life processes and
as technologies, in Japanese scientific culture. Victoria Lee's
careful study documents how Japanese scientists and skilled workers
sought to use the microbe's natural processes to create new
products, from soy-sauce mold starters to MSG, vitamins to statins.
In traditional brewing houses as well as in the food, fine
chemical, and pharmaceutical industries across Japan, they
showcased their ability to deal with the enormous sensitivity and
variety of the microbial world. Charting developments in
fermentation science from the turn of the twentieth century, when
Japan was an industrializing country on the periphery of the world
economy, to 1980 when it had emerged as a global technological and
economic power, Lee highlights the role of indigenous techniques in
modern science as it took shape in Japan. In doing so, she reveals
how knowledge of microbes lay at the heart of some of Japan's most
prominent technological breakthroughs in the global economy. At a
moment when twenty-first-century developments in the fields of
antibiotic resistance, the microbiome, and green chemistry suggest
that the traditional eradication-based approach to the microbial
world is unsustainable, twentieth-century Japanese microbiology
provides a new, broader vantage for understanding and managing
microbial interactions with society.
