‘Years ago, watching a late-night movie, in which a mother had turned to her son and said, I have never loved you, Toby had yawned, declared the film unbelievable and taken himself off to bed. But Jo had watched to the end, a morbid curiosity carrying her through, because she’d known. Sometimes parents didn’t love their children.’Party-planner, Jo Swainson takes pride in her optimistic outlook. Nearly fifty, she has come to terms with both her childlessness and the estrangement from her cold mother, Bobbi. But after being blindsided by Bobbi’s sudden dementia diagnosis, she’s devastated when her husband announces that he’s leaving to start a family with another.Puzzled by a photo of a newborn in Bobbi’s handbag, she is further stunned to learn her mother was once hospitalised for a psychotic breakdown. Each revelation only leads to more mysteries, and Jo soon realises her mother is a stranger she longs to know. But with dementia tightening its grip, time is running out for both of them.Poignant and gripping, Cary J Hansson weaves a memorable tale both haunting and heartfelt. Tackling sensitive subjects in a relatable way, the reader is taken along a path of self-discovery where personal truths are challenged and enlightenment awaits at journey’s end.

The Murder of John Shakespeare: A Centralia Cold Case

The Murder of John Shakespeare: A Centralia Cold Case

Cary O'Dell; Richard L. Sprehe

History Press
2025
nidottu
Authors Cary O'Dell and Richard L. Sprehe lead a literary investigation of a brutal cold-case murder. In May 1975, in the small Southern Illinois town of Centralia, the body of one of its best-known residents, John Shakespeare, was found nearly nude, bound, and shot, execution-style, in the basement of his home. Shakespeare, sixty-nine, was a wealthy bachelor, an eccentric, an heir to the Shakespeare fishing fortune, a world-renowned collector of vintage cars, and, maybe, a possessor of a few secrets. Despite the victim being well liked in the community, state and local police, and eventually even the FBI and Interpol, found a plethora of suspects while investigating the crime. Could it have been his longtime business associate? Or the mysterious hitchhiker seen in town just days before his body was found? Or a long-ago name from his past?

Jagged Ontologies

Jagged Ontologies

Cary Wolfe

UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA PRESS
2026
sidottu
Rethinking life, justice, and the biosphere through the sharp edges of jagged ontology In this groundbreaking book, Cary Wolfe dismantles some of the most entrenched assumptions in contemporary interdisciplinary thought, foremost among them the idea that "flat" ontologies are adequate to the challenge of a robust, posthumanist pluralism. Against the fantasy of nature as an interconnected, egalitarian web, Wolfe proposes a "jagged ontology" in which species and systems intersect not through seamless cooperation but through friction, contestation, and uneven exchange. Wolfe pushes back equally, however, against the reductive tendencies of neo-Darwinian competitive individualism, insisting that what separates us from the world is also what binds us to it – a paradox at the core of all living systems, where autopoietic closure unexpectedly creates environmental openness. Through a combination of systems theory, deconstruction, theoretical biology, and biopolitical philosophy, Wolfe develops a radically posthumanist framework for addressing the ethical, social, and political stakes of life in the biosphere. Extending his approach across disciplines and practices—from ecological theory and continental philosophy to law, public policy, and contemporary art—he lays bare the contradictions embedded in even the most progressive attempts to account for the imbrication of the human and the more-than-human. Through a detailed and long-overdue examination of the popular notion of sympoiesis and a skeptical reading of the anthropomorphism of the "new forestry," Wolfe reveals how well-intentioned theories can undermine the very posthumanist pluralism that they claim to champion. More than a critique, Jagged Ontologies opens onto new philosophical terrain for understanding multispecies justice, environmental responsibility, and the structural dynamics of individuation and creativity in the biosphere. Here, Wolfe offers a crucial rethinking of what it means to live and think ethically in a shared yet jagged world.

Shattering: Food, Politics, and the Loss of Genetic Diversity

Shattering: Food, Politics, and the Loss of Genetic Diversity

Cary Fowler; Pat Mooney

Easton Studio Press
2026
pokkari
It was through control of the shattering of wild seeds that humans first domesticated plants. Now control over those very plants threatens to shatter the world's food supply, as loss of genetic diversity sets the stage for widespread hunger. Large-scale agriculture has come to favor uniformity in food crops. More than 7,000 U.S. apple varieties once grew in American orchards; 6,000 of them are no longer available. Every broccoli variety offered through seed catalogs in 1900 has now disappeared. As the international genetics supply industry absorbs seed companies—with nearly one thousand takeovers since 1970—this trend toward uniformity seems likely to continue; and as third world agriculture is brought in line with international business interests, the gene pools of humanity's most basic foods are threatened. The consequences are more than culinary. Without the genetic diversity from which farmers traditionally breed for resistance to diseases, crops are more susceptible to the spread of pestilence. Tragedies like the Irish Potato Famine may be thought of today as ancient history; yet the U.S. corn blight of 1970 shows that technologically based agribusiness is a breeding ground for disaster. Shattering reviews the development of genetic diversity over 10,000 years of human agriculture, then exposes its loss in our lifetime at the hands of political and economic forces. The possibility of crisis is real; this book shows that it may not be too late to avert it. This book was originally published in 1990 and remains as relevant today as it was then.

When a personal vendetta leads to a savage prison escape, special agent Sam Rivers must outwit a deadly killer before his family becomes the next target. Sam Rivers expects a quiet few days at a law enforcement conference, held at Peterson’s Resort, deep in the forests of northeastern Minnesota. Joined by his pregnant wife and teenage daughter, the special agent for the US Fish and Wildlife Service looks forward to a working vacation. But the wilderness offers no refuge when danger comes looking for him. After violent offender Angus Moon escapes from a Canadian prison—with help from the mysterious Wilhelmina Gunn—the cunning duo set their sights on revenge against Sam, whom they blame for ruining their lives. The severed head of a grizzly bear appears on a remote bridge known as Grizzly Narrows, luring Sam into a deadly game with high stakes: the life of his abducted wife. As Angus stalks the woods with calculated brutality, Sam must rely on his instincts, his daughter’s resourcefulness, and his wolfdog companion, Gray, to track a predator who knows the terrain—and Sam’s weaknesses—all too well. In this sixth installment of the Sam Rivers Mystery series, award-winning author Cary J. Griffith delivers a pulse-pounding wilderness thriller packed with action, psychological tension, and emotional depth. Grizzly Narrows is a gripping tale of survival and vengeance where one wrong step could be Sam’s last.

Unnatural Selection: Technology, Politics, and Plant Evolution

Unnatural Selection: Technology, Politics, and Plant Evolution

Cary Fowler

Easton Studio Press
2026
pokkari
Seeds and planting materials are central to the agricultural system that feeds us all. Yet there has been surprisingly little interest in seriously analyzing the legal and political processes through which intellectual property rights and policy are constructed for this all-important biological diversity. Concentrating on the American experience, Unnatural Selection offers a comprehensive history and insightful sociological analysis of the struggle to own, control, and benefit from agriculture’s plant diversity. Unnatural Selection elucidates the seldom-told story of how the United States acquired seeds of non-native crops from abroad in the 1800s and multiplied and distributed them to farmers to encourage experimentation and crop adaptation to local conditions, thus promoting the spread of agriculture on the continent. It was one of the largest and most consequential agricultural experiments in human history. In the United States it also gave rise to the modern seed and nursery industry which began to push for legal mechanisms to protect and advance their interests in the marketplace. Cary Fowler provides the most complete history to date of the origins of the Plant Patent Act of 1930 and the Plant Variety Protection Act of 1970. He examines how Congress and the Courts expanded these intellectual property rights, and then how and with what effect these issues of control and ownership became international controversies in the 1980s—controversies that continue, largely unresolved, to this day. Features a new preface by the author.
