Bloomsbury presents Men We Reaped by Jesmyn Ward, read by January LaVoy. _______________ 'A brutal, moving memoir … Anyone who emerges from America's black working-class youth with words as fine as Ward's deserves a hearing' – Guardian 'Raw, beautiful and dangerous' – New York Times Book Review 'Lavishly endowed with literary craft and hard-earned wisdom' – Time _______________ The beautiful, haunting memoir from Jesmyn Ward, the first woman to win the National Book Award twice 'And then we heard the rain falling and that was the blood falling; and when we came to get in the crops, it was dead men that we reaped' – Harriet Tubman Jesmyn Ward's acclaimed memoir shines a light on the community she comes from in the small town of DeLisle, Mississippi, a place of quiet beauty and fierce attachment. Here, in the space of four years, she lost five young black men dear to her, including her beloved brother – to accidents, murder and suicide. Their deaths were seemingly unconnected, yet their lives had been connected by identity and place. As Jesmyn dealt with these losses, she came to a staggering truth: the fates of these young men were predetermined by who they were and where they were from, because racism and economic struggle breed a certain kind of bad luck. The agonising reality brought Jesmyn to write, at last, their true stories and her own. _______________ 'Acute and often beautiful' – Financial Times 'Haunting' – Laurie Penny, New Statesman Books of the Year 'Elegiac, rage-filled, and uncommonly brave' – Vogue 'A brilliant book about beauty and death' – Los Angeles Times 'Essential' – San Francisco Chronicle 'Burns with brilliance' – Harper's Bazaar 'Unvarnished and penetrating' – Elle

In the time immediately following the destruction of the Death Star and the years between the Battle of Yavin and the foundation of the Rebel Base on Hoth, the Empire's grip on the galaxy has become an unyielding fist of retribution. Pressed into action by Emperor Palpatine, Imperial forces have stepped up efforts to hunt down and imprison Rebel sympathizers, shipping them off to newly formed detainment moons via huge prison barges. By necessity these barges are floating chambers of degradation and vice, notoriously unreliable spacecraft staffed by Imperial corrections officers whose cruelty rivals that of the inmates. The Imperial Prison Barge Virtue is hauling its load of prisoners, criminals and murderers, human and non-human, across the galaxy, when it breaks down in deep space. Soon after, the ship's warden discovers a derelict Star Destroyer, seemingly abandoned, and sends a boarding party to scavenge parts to repair the Virtue. Half of them don't come back. The ones that do are infected with a virus so deadly that within hours, it has wiped out ninety-nine percent of the barge's population. But for the handful of survivors -- two brothers, the Virtue's female chief medical officer, and a sadistic captain of the guards, along with a certain rogue smuggler and his Wookiee sidekick - the true horror is just begun. Because those inmates and guards who died of the virus don't stay dead...and when they come back, they're extremely hungry. Against their better judgment, the survivors take refuge aboard the massive creaking emptiness of the Destroyer, only to discover that its original population has not disappeared at all -- and that they've been waiting for them.

New York Times bestselling author Katherine Arden returns with another creepy, spine-tingling adventure in this follow-up to the critically acclaimed Small Spaces and Dead Voices. Until next time. That was chilling promise made to Ollie, Coco and Brian after they outsmarted the smiling man at Mount Hemlock Resort. And as the trio knows, the smiling man always keeps his promises. So when the lights flicker on and off at Brian's family's inn and a boom sounds at the door, there's just one visitor it could be. Only, there's no one there, just a cryptic note left outside signed simply as-S. The smiling man loves his games and it seems a new one is under way. But first, the three friends will have to survive a group trip to Lake Champlain where it's said Vermont's very own Loch Ness monster lives. Brian is thrilled. He hasn't sailed since visiting his family in Jamaica and even the looming threat of the smiling man can't put a damper on what is guaranteed to finally be a day of fun-even if it is awkward being stuck on a boat with both his old best friend, Phil and his new best friends, Coco and Ollie. But when a misstep from Phil causes a tragedy onboard and leaves them shipwrecked on an island haunted by a monster on both land and sea, Brian's survival instincts kick in and it's up to him to help everyone work together and find a way to escape. One thing is for sure, the smiling man is back and he wants a rematch. And this time Brian is ready to play.

Hymnographers occupy a prominent position in Byzantine ecclesiastical art, one that has hitherto been examined only in a fragmentary manner. The present study is devoted to their visual representation and function between the twelfth and fifteenth centuries. At its core lies the question of why certain poets of liturgical chant – John of Damascus, Kosmas Melodos, Joseph the Hymnographer, Theodore the Studite, and Theophanes Graptos – are accorded a distinguished status within monumental pictorial programmes, at times comparable to that of the Evangelists. By combining art-historical analysis with questions drawn from liturgical history and theology, the study redefines the role of hymnography as a structuring and meaning-generating element within Byzantine image programmes. The first part examines the hymnographers with regard to their vitae, iconography, dress, and characteristic gestures. On this basis, the study identifies features by which they are recognisable as hymnographers, in particular specific gestures associated with singing and distinctive forms of headgear. The second part is devoted to the pictorial contexts in which hymnographers appear. A key finding is their close association with sepulchral spaces and foundations: in such settings, they frequently function as ‘guardians of the dead’; accompanying the deceased patron in perpetual worship and attesting to his orthodoxy. In other image types, hymnographers assume a mediating role within New Testament scenes, particularly in the iconography of the Koimesis. Acting from within the pictorial field, they articulate and interpret the depicted events, bringing liturgical experience, visual form, and theological reflection into close alignment. They thus function as bridging figures between earthly and eschatological realms, as well as between the beholder and the image itself. Particular attention is paid to the individually selected texts inscribed on their scrolls, which serve not merely as identifying attributes but intervene actively in the meaning of the image by interpreting, deepening, and commenting upon the scenes depicted. The hymnographers thus appear as visual embodiments of sung liturgical poetry and contribute significantly to the performative intensification of the church interior. In its conclusion, the study interprets the function of the hymnographers in terms of a Byzantine form of ‘performatism’: through text, gesture, and positioning, they generate pictorial spaces that draw the viewer actively into the liturgical event. The study thereby offers a new contribution to the interrelation of hymnography, liturgy, and visual art, demonstrating that the depiction of hymnographers constitutes a deliberate and theologically highly coded element of Byzantine monumental painting.

And finally, in Besieged, Lord John learns that his mother is in Havana and that the British Navy is on their way to lay siege to the city. Filling in mesmerizing chapters in the lives of characters readers have followed over the course of thousands of pages, Gabaldon s genius is on full display throughout this must-have collection.

With over 10 million copies sold, The Expanse has become one of the biggest science fiction phenomenons of the decade. The biggest science fiction series of the decade comes to an incredible conclusion in the ninth and final novel in James S.A. Corey’s Hugo-award winning space opera that inspired the Prime Original series. The Laconian Empire has fallen, setting the thirteen hundred solar systems free from the rule of Winston Duarte. But the ancient enemy that killed the gate builders is awake, and the war against our universe has begun again. In the dead system of Adro, Elvi Okoye leads a desperate scientific mission to understand what the gate builders were and what destroyed them, even if it means compromising herself and the half-alien children who bear the weight of her investigation. Through the wide-flung systems of humanity, Colonel Aliana Tanaka hunts for Duarte’s missing daughter. . . and the shattered emperor himself. And on the Rocinante, James Holden and his crew struggle to build a future for humanity out of the shards and ruins of all that has come before. As nearly unimaginable forces prepare to annihilate all human life, Holden and a group of unlikely allies discover a last, desperate chance to unite all of humanity, with the promise of a vast galactic civilization free from wars, factions, lies, and secrets if they win. But the price of victory may be worse than the cost of defeat. "Interplanetary adventure the way it ought to be written." —George R. R.

Product Overview and Core Features The front-cover cooling fan is a highly efficient heat dissipation device designed for compact spaces. It features a black plastic housing with a sturdy yet lightweight construction. Its core function is to draw air in from the sides through high-speed rotation (9500 RPM ± 5%), accelerate it through the spiral blades, and then blow it out from the bottom in a targeted manner, creating a highly efficient airflow that effectively reduces device temperatures. Innovative Design and Technical Advantages The front cover cooling fan kit for the Bambu lab P1 series features a unique 900-degree rotating air outlet design, optimizing cooling efficiency through a non-linear airflow path and reducing heat loss dead zones. The curved internal blade design combined with a double-ball bearing structure ensures low-friction operation and a long lifespan (rated for 50,000 hours). The PBT plastic material also enhances heat resistance and stability. Technical Parameters and Performance Specifications The product supports a DC24V voltage and an operating current of 0.13A, with low power consumption and high energy efficiency. Key specifications include air volume, speed, temperature range (-20°C to 70°C), and terminal block type (e.g., 2.5mm pitch), meeting the precise cooling requirements of devices such as 3D printers (e.g., Bambu Lab X1/P1). Installation and Durability During installation, heat-resistant sponge must be used to seal the air inlet and outlet to ensure leak-free airflow. The double-ball bearing structure significantly reduces operating noise, but please note that some noise may still be noticeable in quiet environments. The PBT housing is both corrosion-resistant and heat-resistant, ensuring long-term stable operation. User Instructions and Precautions This product is compatible with the hot end front cover of the Bambu lab P1P/P1S 3D printer. It is a model cooling fan. Please ensure the voltage matches (DC24V) to avoid damage.

Except that right now, he doesn't know that. He can't even remember his own name, let alone the nature of his assignment or how to complete it. All he knows is that he's been asleep for a very, very long time. And he's just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home, with nothing but two corpses for company. His crewmates dead, his memories fuzzily returning, Ryland realizes that an impossible task now confronts him. Hurtling through space on this tiny ship, it's up to him to puzzle out an impossible scientific mystery-and conquer an extinction-level threat to our species. And with the clock ticking down and the nearest human being light-years away, he's got to do it all alone. Or does he?
