From Switzerland, England, and Ireland they came and landed on the east coast of the New World. When the West beckoned, they answered the clarion call. By boat, on horseback, in covered wagons, and on foot they came to Texas and New Mexico. Their trials, struggles, successes, failures, and tragedies are my legacy. The value system of these western pioneers-adventurers, soldiers, ranchers, miners, cowboys, cowgirls, and entrepreneurs-formed the warp and woof of my life which began in the New Mexico Territory one year before New Mexico became a state. New Mexico and I grew up together; our histories are intertwined. Marguerite Harrington Benedict

Object Lessons is a series of short, beautifully designed books about the hidden lives of ordinary things. Few clothing items are as ubiquitous or casual as blue jeans. Yet, their simplicity is deceptive. Blue jeans are nothing if not an exercise in opposites. Americans have accepted jeans as a symbol of their culture, but today jeans are a global consumer product category. Levi Strauss made blue jeans in the 1870s to withstand the hard work of mining, but denim has since become the epitome of leisure. In the 1950s, celebrities like Marlon Brando transformed the utilitarian clothing of industrial labor into a glamorous statement of youthful rebellion, and now, you can find jeans on chic fashion runways. For some, indigo blue might be the color of freedom, but for workers who have produced the dye, it has often been a color of oppression and tyranny. Blue Jeans considers the versatility of this iconic garment and investigates what makes denim a universal signifier, ready to fit any context, meaning, and body. Object Lessons is published in partnership with an essay series in The Atlantic.

Think about the last time you went to a circus and all the amazing tricks that you saw. Did you ever say to yourself, "How did they do that?" or "How is that humanly possible?" There is a little secret. The performers of Dunning Family Circus, like many others, are not human. They are supernatural. They are also members of NACOS or the North American Council of Supernaturals. This is an organization put in place to govern, maintain, and uphold the laws designed for all magical beings. There are three branches of NACOS--the warriors, the council, and the Grand Council. Kailie Dunning is in charge of the DFC chapter of warriors consisting of vampires, werewolves, fae, Nephilim, and a witch. Shortly after the show is set up and ready, Kailie, who performs in the circus with Tivo, her magical unicorn, is told of missing girls in Ybor City, Florida. Her new team of warriors decide to go out together one night, only to find one of their own has gone missing. Can this group of powerful individuals put clues together to find the missing girls and solve the case before opening day of the circus?

Caretaker to his family’s thoroughbred racing empire, Parker Stuart has zero tolerance for anyone who slights him or his blue-blooded British family.
