Koi Mathis is infamously known as Honey in the streets. She had to grow up fast after becoming a mom at the tender age of fourteen. Her son’s father, Shawn, was the first to introduce her to the fast life. After Shawn received life in prison, Koi had finally had enough of the struggle life. The true hustler inside of her was born, and she began making a living for herself through the underworld. Despite her come-up, Koi constantly feels the pressure of womanhood and living three separate lives. She’s a mom first, part-time exotic dancer, and a high ranking undercover hit woman. Koi consistently applies pressure to each body that has the unfortunate fate of meeting their demise by the barrel of her favorite piece of steel. For years after Shawn’s imprisonment, Koi felt as if she would be single for life. That is until one night she’s introduced to a big-time hustler named, Jizzle. Jizzle is tough as nails in the streets, but he knows how to court a lady correctly. He’s a gentle thug at heart, and his soft interior is a welcomed anomaly in Honey’s lifestyle. There is just something about Jizzle that makes it hard for Koi to resist all of the effort that he puts forward to win her over. All things seem to align well for Honey until she receives an ultimatum regarding a hit that would force her to make one of the hardest decisions in her life, but give her the biggest payout she has ever seen. She is torn between conducting business as usual, or taking a chance that can positively change the trajectory of her life forever. Can Jizzle crack Honey’s hard shell, or will she let a tranquil thug pass her by? Will she take the hit that could change her life forever, or choose to let life flourish instead? Honey is lethal in the streets, and a true savage by any means. Take a ride and encounter Honey’s world.

A treasure trove of stories, poems, and information on the brainy, black-feathered bird that’s rich in insight and humor. This revised and expanded edition of Candace Savage’s best-selling book about ravens and crows is enhanced by additional paintings, drawings, and photos, as well as a fascinating selection of first-person stories and poems about remarkable encounters with crows. In one story, a pack of crows brilliantly thwarts an attack by a Golden Eagle; in another, a mischievous crow rescues the author from grief. And in a third piece, after nursing a battered baby crow back to health until it flies off with other crows, Louise Erdrich hauntingly describes her altered awareness as she listens for the “dark laugh” of crows while she works. Based on two decades of audacious research by scientists around the world, the book also provides an unprecedented, evidence-based glimpse into corvids’ intellectual, social, and emotional lives. But whether viewed through the lens of science, myth, or everyday experience, the result is always the same. These birds are so smart—and so mysterious—they take your breath away. Published in Partnership with the David Suzuki Institute. Praise for Crows “A beautifully crafted celebration of these birds.” —Nature “A deft juxtaposition of interesting anecdotes and firsthand accounts of scientific discoveries.” —Canadian Literature “Surprising avian revelations are contained within the pages of Savage’s glorious festival of crow arcana.” —Alberta Views

During the long eighteenth century, Europe's travelers, scholars, and intellectuals looked to Asia in a spirit of puzzlement, irony, and openness. In this panoramic and colorful book, Jürgen Osterhammel tells the story of the European Enlightenment's nuanced encounter with the great civilizations of the East, from the Ottoman Empire and India to China and Japan. Here is the acclaimed book that challenges the notion that Europe's formative engagement with the non-European world was invariably marred by an imperial gaze and presumptions of Western superiority. Osterhammel shows how major figures such as Leibniz, Voltaire, Gibbon, and Hegel took a keen interest in Asian culture and history, and introduces lesser-known scientific travelers, colonial administrators, Jesuit missionaries, and adventurers who returned home from Asia bearing manuscripts in many exotic languages, huge collections of ethnographic data, and stories that sometimes defied belief. Osterhammel brings the sights and sounds of this tumultuous age vividly to life, from the salons of Paris and the lecture halls of Edinburgh to the deserts of Arabia, the steppes of Siberia, and the sumptuous courts of Asian princes. He demonstrates how Europe discovered its own identity anew by measuring itself against its more senior continent, and how it was only toward the end of this period that cruder forms of Eurocentrism--and condescension toward Asia--prevailed.

This volume spans the fourteenth to nineteenth centuries, across Europe and its empires, and brings together historians, art historians, literary scholars and anthropologists to rethink medieval and early modern ritual. The study of rituals, when it is alert to the emotions which are woven into and through ritual activities, presents an opportunity to explore profoundly important questions about people’s relationships with others, their relationships with the divine, with power dynamics and importantly, with their concept of their own identity. Each chapter in this volume showcases the different approaches, theories and methodologies that can be used to explore emotions in historical rituals, but they all share the goal of answering the question of how emotions act within ritual to inform balances of power in its many and varied forms. Chapter 5 of this book is available open access under a CC BY 4.0 license.
