A must-listen for fans of Leigh Bardugo's Grishaverse, transforming The Hunchback of Notre Dame into a powerful tundra-inspired epic.Before the massacre at Nariin, Enebish was one of the greatest warriors in the Sky King's Imperial Army: a rare and dangerous Night Spinner, blessed with the ability to control the threads of darkness. Now, she is known as Enebish the Destroyer―a monster and murderer, banished to a monastery for losing control of her power and annihilating a merchant caravan.Guilt stricken and scarred, Enebish tries to be grateful for her sanctuary, until her adoptive sister, Imperial Army commander Ghoa, returns from the war front with a tantalizing offer. If Enebish can capture the notorious criminal, Temujin, whose band of rebels has been seizing army supply wagons, not only will her crimes be pardoned, she will be reinstated as a warrior.Enebish eagerly accepts. But as she hunts Temujin across the tundra, she discovers the tides of war have shifted, and the supplies he's stealing are the only thing keeping thousands of shepherds from starving. Torn between duty and conscience, Enebish must decide whether to put her trust in the charismatic rebel or her beloved sister. No matter who she chooses, an even greater enemy is advancing, ready to bring the empire to its knees.

Sun and Moon tells the story of how the Sun and Moon became the best of friends. For a long time Sun and Moon had only complaints against each. "When the Moon is out the flowers cannot grow," the Sun declared. "It's too hot when the Sun is out," said the Moon. On and on these discussions went until one day the Sun began to see the qualities of the Moon and the Moon began to see the benefits of the Sun. Soon after Sun and Moon became the best of friends. Sun and Moon is a based on a story invented by my daughter, Addie. It is a story about friendship and seeing the good is each other.One day daughter Addie led me to a long piece of paper hanging on the wall that she had decorated with colorful drawings. Using her pictures, She told me the story of the sun and the moon. She explained that at first the sun and the moon did not like each other very much. Then one day, the moon noticed the sun helped the flowers grow and the sun noticed that the moon allowed people to see the stars. After that, the sun and the moon became best friends.I was so impressed and inspired by her story, I decided to make it the basis for my next children's book. Sun and Moon tells the story of the way the sun and the moon became friends. Just like in Addie's story, the sun and the moon don't like each other much at first. They spend the day and night complaining about each other. One day the sun notices the qualities of the moon, and the moon discovers the benefits of the sun. Once they learn to appreciate each other, they become the best of friends.While writing and illustrating Sun and Moon, I wanted to maintain Addie's original story idea and theme. I also tried to incorporate some of her personal style by designing the elements of the book to resemble the way she often rips paper into shapes and pastes it into place.Sun and Moon is Book 1 of the Sun and Moon series of children's books, offering folktale like stories and rustic "rip and cut paper" style illustrations. This early reader series explores themes related to understanding yourself and interacting with others.Author and illustrator Dominic Villari's books feature well-developed stories with heart and humor that appeal to kids and parents alike. These timeless tales will grow with you and your children through pre-reading, beginning reading and novice reading.Themes: FriendshipAppreciating othersAge Grade Range: 4 to 7 yearsPre-K to Second GradeOther Books in this Series: Moon and Stars - Self-worthSun and Clouds - Making friendsExcerpt: The Moon spent much of its time alone.This gave the Moon a lot of time to think about things.The Moon wasn't sure it liked being the Moon anymore.The Moon wondered about being something else.The Moon thought it might like to travel around the galaxy like a comet.The Moon always revolved around the Earth.Or maybe the Moon could have many colors like the planets.The Moon was very gray.The Moon imagined it was fast, like a meteor.The Moon drifted slowly through the sky.Most of all, the Moon wanted to be bright like a star.The Moon could only reflect the light of its friend the Sun.About the Author: Dominic Villari is well versed in the art and science of making stuff up and is often caught talking to things, especially when they don't work right or are difficult to put together. These pursuits occasionally spill out onto paper in illustrated children's books such as Sun and Moon, Bear is Hangry and The Yelling Monsters and fiction books such as The Wandering Princess and Talks to Things. He lives in New Jersey with his wife and daughter, both of whom have gotten better about knowing when he's making stuff up.

Skill Acquisition and Training describes the building blocks of cognitive, motor, and teamwork skills, and the factors to take into account in training them. The basic processes of perception, cognition and action that provide the foundation for understanding skilled performance are discussed in the context of complex task requirements, individual differences, and extreme environmental demands. The role of attention in perceiving, selecting, and becoming aware of information, in learning new information, and in performance is described in the context of specific skills.A theme throughout this book is that much learning is implicit; the types of knowledge and relations that can profitably be learned implicitly and the conditions under which this learning benefits performance are discussed. The question of whether skill acquisition in cognitive domains shares underlying mechanisms with the acquisition of perceptual and motor skills is also addressed with a view to identifying commonalities that allow for widely applicable, general theories of skill acquisition. Because the complexity of real-world environments puts demands on the individual to adapt to new circumstances, the question of how skills research can be applied to organizational training contexts is an important one. To address this, this book dedicates much content to practical applications, covering such issues as how training needs can be captured with task and job analyses and how to maximize training transfer by taking trainee self-efficacy and goal orientation into account.This comprehensive yet readable textbook is optimized for students of cognitive psychology looking to understand the intricacies of skill acquisition.

A Must-Read: People, NPR, Vulture, Literary Hub, The Millions, Garden & Gun, GoodreadsLong-listed for the Center for Fiction First Novel Prize Winner of the O. Henry Prize for "That Girl" An Indies Introduce and Indie Next Pick A Publishers Weekly Writer to Watch In this taut Southern family drama, the sins of a favorite son rock a small Mississippi town. Reverend Sabre Winfrey, Jr., shepherd of the Seven Seals Missionary Baptist Church, believes in God, his own privilege, and enterprise. He owns the barbershop and the radio station, and generally keeps an iron hand on every aspect of society in Dominion, Mississippi. He and his wife, Priscilla, have five boys; the youngest, Emanuel, is called Wonderboy--no one sings prettier, runs as fast, or turns as many heads. But Wonderboy, his father, and all the structures in place that keep them on top are not as righteous as they seem to be. And when Wonderboy is caught off guard by an encounter with a stranger, he finds himself confronted by questions he'd never imagined. His response sends shock waves through the entire community. Priscilla and Diamond, two women who love these men, bear witness to their charms and bear the brunt of their choices. Through their eyes and their stories, Dominion offers an intricate, intimate view of how secrets control us, how shame stifles us, how silence implicates us, and how even love plays a role in the everyday violence and casual sins of the powerful. A brilliantly crafted Black Southern family drama told with the captivating force, humor, and tenderness carried in the hearts of these women, Addie E. Citchens's Dominion wrestles with the many brutal, sinister ways in which we are shaped by fear and patriarchy, and studies how we might yet choose to break free.
