With her head in the clouds, Rachael Hughes has always found it difficult to hold down a boring office job. Seizing the opportunity to become a corporate costumed hero, Rachael dons the apparel of Golden Defender - a global symbol employed by the environmental charity Fields for Flowers. Paired with her hero husband, Mr Virtuous (real name Brian), Rachael's job is to star in advertisements and appear on stationery, all in an effort to save the rainforests. However, not everything at Fields for Flowers smells of roses. As a serious actor, Brian resents the fact Rachael's been given the role simply because she looks good in the costume. When Rachael is almost killed while filming an advert, she no longer knows who to trust. Then a mysterious woman appears in her flat and tells her Fields for Flowers is involved in slavery and deforestation. Gathering evidence and unsure of the true villains, Rachael suspects everyone is out to kill her. Preferring life in a fantasy world, it's up to Golden Defender to save the day - assuming Rachael can remember she's just an ordinary woman in her pyjamas.
A deeply affecting debut novel set in Trinidad, following the lives of a family as they navigate impossible choices about scarcity, loyalty, and love WINNER OF THE DESMOND ELLIOTT PRIZE - "Golden Child is a stunning novel written with force and beauty. Though true to herself, Adam's work stands tall beside icons of her tradition like V.S. Naipaul."--Jennifer Clement, author of Gun Love Rural Trinidad: a brick house on stilts surrounded by bush; a family, quietly surviving, just trying to live a decent life. Clyde, the father, works long, exhausting shifts at the petroleum plant in southern Trinidad; Joy, his wife, looks after the home. Their two sons, thirteen years old, wake early every morning to travel to the capital, Port of Spain, for school. They are twins but nothing alike: Paul has always been considered odd, while Peter is widely believed to be a genius, destined for greatness. When Paul goes walking in the bush one afternoon and doesn't come home, Clyde is forced to go looking for him, this child who has caused him endless trouble already, and who he has never really understood. And as the hours turn to days, and Clyde begins to understand Paul's fate, his world shatters--leaving him faced with a decision no parent should ever have to make. Like the Trinidadian landscape itself, Golden Child is both beautiful and unsettling, a resoundingly human story of aspiration, betrayal, and love. Praise for Golden Child "In fluid and uncluttered prose, Golden Child weaves an enveloping portrait of an insular social order in which the claustrophobic support of family and neighbors coexists with an omnipresent threat from the same corners."--The New York Times Book Review " A] powerful debut . . . a devastating family portrait--and a fascinating window into Trinidadian society."--People " An] emotionally potent debut novel . . . with a spare, evocative style, Adam (a Trinidad native) evokes the island's complexity during the mid-'80s, when the novel is mostly set: the tenuous relationship between Hindus like Clyde's family and the twins' Catholic schoolmaster, assassinations and abductions hyped by lurid media headlines, resources that attract carpetbagging oil companies but leave the country largely impoverished."--USA Today

Natural Disaster at the Closing of the Dutch Golden Age
Adam Sundberg
Cambridge University Press
2022
sidottu
By the early eighteenth century, the economic primacy, cultural efflorescence, and geopolitical power of the Dutch Republic appeared to be waning. The end of this Golden Age was also an era of natural disasters. Between the late seventeenth and the mid-eighteenth century, Dutch communities weathered numerous calamities, including river and coastal floods, cattle plagues, and an outbreak of strange mollusks that threatened the literal foundations of the Republic. Adam Sundberg demonstrates that these disasters emerged out of longstanding changes in environment and society. They were also fundamental to the Dutch experience and understanding of eighteenth-century decline. Disasters provoked widespread suffering, but they also opened opportunities to retool management strategies, expand the scale of response, and to reconsider the ultimate meaning of catastrophe. This book reveals a dynamic and often resilient picture of a society coping with calamity at odds with historical assessments of eighteenth-century stagnation.

Terror Out of Space & Quest of the Golden Ape
Ivar Jorgensen; Adam Chase; Dwight V. Swain
Armchair Fiction Music

Armchair fiction presents extra-large editions of classic science fiction double novels with original illustrations. The first novel, "The Terror Out of Space" is a nail-biting space thriller. Fred Boone was in a no win scenario. He was hunted by agents of a powerful interplanetary cartel; the woman he loved had spurned him; and now he found himself trapped on a distant world surround by alien intelligence-an intelligence that could take the most horrifying creatures from one's worst nightmares and change them into reality. The second novel, "Quest of the Golden Ape," features a space warp to other worlds. A man awakens with no past-no childhood-no recollection except of a vague world steeped in terror from which his mother cried out for vengeance and the slaughter of his own people stood as a monument of infamy. Both novels are filled with terrific science fiction thrills and are penned by three sci-fi veterans, Dwight V. Swain, Ivar Jorgensen, and Adam Chase.
Adam Penn Gilders was a virtuoso of the deadpan prose miniature. He published his stories in Paris Review, The Walrus and J&L Illustrated, before passing away in 2007, at the age of 36, of a brain tumor. Another Ventriloquist collects Gilders' charming vignettes, which fall somewhere between Aesop's fable and bitch session: "My friend Geoffrey, to my constant dismay, seems compelled to enjoy life's little pleasures, such as coffee or perfectly cooked eggs, all at once, without delay or hesitation. With coffee, for example, which he particularly loves, he drains his cup with almost demented eagerness, often before his companions have taken a single sip. It was as though the best experiences, like hot liquids, were liable to evaporate if measured out in teaspoons. He had what I considered a 'Now or Never' attitude which made me want to proclaim 'Never!'" With this posthumous collection, Gilders bequeaths a gem of concision and wit.
