This timeless collection of reflective essays invites you to explore themes of grief, loss, tragedy, and disruption through the eyes of an artist's soul. Originally conceived in the shadow of the fallen twin towers of the World Trade Center, near where Fujimura's New York art studio stood, this anniversary edition includes new essays unpacking the author's further insights into his concepts of culture care and a theology of making.

“The poet is endemic with life itself,” Will Alexander once said, and in this searing pas de trois, Refractive Africa: Ballet of the Forgotten, he has exemplified this vital candescence with a transpersonal amplification worthy of the Cambrian explosion. “This being the ballet of the forgotten,” he writes as diasporic witness, “of refracted boundary points as venom.” The volume’s opening poem pays homage to the innovative Nigerian-Yoruban author Amos Tutuola; it ends with an encomium to the modernist Malagasy poet Jean-Joseph Rabearivelo.

Desperate times call for desperate measures, and together, Reese and Noah set off on a mission to find Noah's old rebel group to help them turn the tables against the status quo that threatens them all.

The island isn't on any chart. It never was. That's the whole problem. When Flight 847's instruments fail over the mid-Pacific, Captain Dana Oyelaran puts the crippled airliner down in open ocean, and nineteen survivors wash ashore on an island that satellites have photographed ten thousand times and never once seen. Ray Kelderman has spent forty years making machines tell the truth. Armed with a notebook, a bowl of water, and a sliver of steel, he starts measuring, and the measurements say something impossible: the sky above the island is a lie. The stars are in the wrong places. The ...

What if reality is not something you simply witness—but something you actively refract? In Refractions of the Real: A Manual for Self-Directed Beings, philosopher Kevin L.

A plain‑English guide to metamaterials that shows how structured geometry—not chemistry—creates exotic wave effects and gives readers a practical framework for judging every claim against real operating limits and evidence. A material can bend light backward, cloak an object from radar, focus a lens the thickness of a business card, quiet a room, and even nudge earthquake waves around a defined site. It does none of these tricks by chemistry alone. It does them by arranging tiny structures in a repeating pattern until the material begins to behave in ways its ingredients could never ...
