Jerry Canfield has long made a living by smuggling Meso-American artifacts into the United States and selling them to dealers in the Santa Fe art market. He is a hustler and a former numbers runner with an aptitude for cards, mathematics and amateur archeology. On a trip to Belize to acquire pre-Columbian relics, he finds a peculiar green glass contained in a metal frame. The glass is found in a Mayan tomb recently uncovered by an earthquake. The inscriptions on the metal are not Mayan, but in long-dead Middle Eastern languages. The Mayan tomb dates from a pre-Columbian time when metal and glass were unknown in the Americas. Canfield solves the secret of the glass and discovers that by looking through the glass, one can see the future. However, the future that can be viewed is limited—only five minutes and fifty seconds ahead of the present. Canfield realizes that, even with future knowledge of less than six minutes, the holder can obtain riches, power, and control over destiny.

Anne Carson's poetry - characterized by various reviewers as "short talks", "essays", or "verse narratives" - combines the confessional and the critical in a voice all her own. Known as a remarkable classicist, Anne Carson in Glass, Irony and God weaves contemporary and ancient poetic strands with stunning style. This collection includes: "The Glass Essay", a powerful poem about the end of a love affair, told in the context of Carson's reading of the Bronte sisters; "Book of Isaiah", a poem evoking the deeply primitive feel of ancient Judaism; and "The Fall of Rome", about her trip to "find" Rome and her struggle to overcome feelings of a terrible alienation there.

Object Lessons is a series of short, beautifully designed books about the hidden lives of ordinary things. Pause and look around: you will see that you are surrounded by glass. It reflects and refracts light through your windows; it encircles a glowing filament above you; it's in a mirror hanging on the wall; it lies shattered in a dented corner of an iPhone-you're drinking water out of a pint glass. Taking up a most common object, rarely considered because assumed to be transparent, John Garrison draws evocative connections between historical depictions of glass and emerging visions that see it as holding a unique promise for new forms of interaction. Grounded in everyday examples, this book offers a series of surprising insights into how we increasingly find ourselves living in a world made of glass. Object Lessons is published in partnership with an essay series in The Atlantic.

A young boy’s willful decision has significant ramifications for the man he becomes in this tale of disillusionment and despair. Lured by the liturgy of a foreign religion and by his desire to become a scholar, Kofi Baako rejects his family, his community, and his obligation as heir apparent to the Stool of Gyedu’s Shrine. However, as he approaches his last year in seminary, Kofi Baako abandons his dream of becoming a Catholic priest and moves to a remote town where his past is unknown. Tormented by his personal demons, Kofi Baako is unable to reconcile his emotions, and when an urgent telegram summons him back to his family and community, he is apprehensive about the journey and what he might find at its end. C.O.T. Appiah skillfully constructs a tale where readers are confronted by some of life’s fundamental questions. What constitutes our identity? What is our purpose? What are our true obligations, and how do we cope when we fail those whom we love?
