Raised in the heart of the 305, Asaad ‘Wolfe’ Calloway is vetted in the streets. Wolfe, a pseudonym he gained after fighting his way through the Miami streets like an animal, was born savage. His good looks, nor his attitude are for the faint at heart. Therefore, he only surrounds himself with those who will protect him by any means necessary, his two brothers, Law and Blaze Calloway. With no love in his heart, he samples all thirty-two flavors of women in his city until he finds the one woman he wants but can’t have. Indigo is the girl of Kasen Franklin, who is expanding his West Coast empire into Miami territory. Pandora’s Box is just too tempting not to open, and he doesn’t care who he has to go through to get her. Law, the most levelheaded of the three serves as his brother’s right-hand man. Stepping up in rank to the empire that was built on his father’s back, he’s able to make more money to support himself and the only girl who has his heart, Shiya. With more responsibilities on his plate, will he let his relationship with the streets interfere with his personal relationship? As the baby of the family, the only things Blaze Calloway is concerned with are smoking good, eating good, and living his best life. For him, that means getting money fast and blowing it even faster. When tragedy sweeps the Calloway family up like a tornado, will he step out of his brothers’ shadows for good and prove that he can be a boss in his own right? When you’re at the top, there’s nowhere to go but down. Wolfe’s enemies want him dead right when his family needs him most. Witness the rise and fall of one of Miami’s most legendary hustlers. If you thought Law and Blaze were savage, get ready to read about the most savage of them all. Please Note: This is a prequel to the In the Arms of a Savage Series.

In this New York Times bestselling “imperative how-to for creativity” (Nick Offerman), Adam Savage—star of Discovery Channel’s Mythbusters—shares his golden rules of creativity, from finding inspiration to following through and successfully making your idea a reality. Every Tool’s a Hammer is a chronicle of my life as a maker. It’s an exploration of making, but it’s also a permission slip of sorts from me to you. Permission to grab hold of the things you’re interested in, that fascinate you, and to dive deeper into them to see where they lead you. Through stories from forty-plus years of making and molding, building and break­ing, along with the lessons I learned along the way, this book is meant to be a toolbox of problem solving, complete with a shop’s worth of notes on the tools, techniques, and materials that I use most often. Things like: In Every Tool There Is a Hammer—don’t wait until everything is perfect to begin a project, and if you don’t have the exact right tool for a task, just use whatever’s handy; Increase Your Loose Tolerance—making is messy and filled with screwups, but that’s okay, as creativity is a path with twists and turns and not a straight line to be found; Use More Cooling Fluid—it prolongs the life of blades and bits, and it prevents tool failure, but beyond that it’s a reminder to slow down and reduce the fric­tion in your work and relationships; Screw Before You Glue—mechanical fasteners allow you to change and modify a project while glue is forever but sometimes you just need the right glue, so I dig into which ones will do the job with the least harm and best effects. This toolbox also includes lessons from many other incredible makers and creators, including: Jamie Hyneman, Nick Offerman, Pixar director Andrew Stanton, Oscar-winner Guillermo del Toro, artist Tom Sachs, and chef Traci Des Jardins. And if everything goes well, we will hopefully save you a few mistakes (and maybe fingers) as well as help you turn your curiosities into creations. I hope this book serves as “creative rocket fuel” (Ed Helms) to build, make, invent, explore, and—most of all—enjoy the thrills of being a creator.

The Albigensian crusade 1209-1229) by the Catholic Church against the Cathar heretics of southern France is infamous for its brutality. Marked by massacres and acts of appalling cruelty, these deeds are commonly ascribed to the role of religious fanaticism. This book is the first to offer a dedicated military history of the whole Crusade; in so doing it refutes this old view. By telling the story of the Crusade through its dramatic sieges, battles and campaigns and offering expert analysis of the warfare involved, the author reveals the Crusade in a new light – as a bloody territorial conquest in which acts of terror were perpetrated to secure military aims rather than religious ones. The result is an exciting and at times disturbing book that tells the dramatic military events of the Crusade and its leading characters – Simon de Montfort, Louis the Lion, Innocent III, Peter of Aragon, Count Raymond of Toulouse - through the voices of those contemporary writers who fought it and experienced it.
