Résumé:
"A Year Without a Winter" brings together science fiction, history, visual art, and exploration. Inspired by the literary ‘dare’ that would give birth to Mary Shelley’s "Frankenstein" amidst the aftermath of a massive volcanic eruption, and today, by the utopian architecture of Paolo Soleri and the Arizona desert, expeditions to Antarctica and Indonesia, this collection reframes the relationship among climate, crisis, and creation. This book is a collective thought experiment retracing an inverted path through narrative extremes.

Résumé:
What is Architectural History? considers the questions and problems posed by architectural historians since the rise of the discipline in the late nineteenth century. How do historians of architecture organise past time and relate it to the present? How does historical evidence translate into historical narrative? Leach treats the disciplinarity of architectural history as an open question, moving between three key approaches to historical knowledge of architecture: within art history, as an historical specialisation and, most prominently, within architecture.

Author Francine Prose offers a singular reading of Guggenheim’s life. The narrative follows Guggenheim through virtually every aspect of her extraordinary life, from her unique collecting habits and paradigm-changing discoveries, to her celebrity friendships, failed marriages, and scandalous affairs, and Prose delivers a colorful portrait of a defiantly uncompromising woman who maintained a powerful upper hand in a male-dominated world. Prose also explores the ways in which Guggenheim’s image was filtered through the lens of insidious antisemitism.

Résumé:
Scholars have long known that Chaucer read and was influenced by Dante, but they have debated the effect Dante had on Chaucer's poetry. In this book, the author demonstrates that Chaucer's reaction to The Divine Comedy shaped the most fondamental aspects of his poetic art - the way he handles time within his stories, his attitudes toward language and authority, and above all, his presentation of the credibility of his fictional worlds, which she terms 'narrative authentication.'

Since the first issue, in 2010, 'Toilet Paper' has created a world that displays ambiguous narratives and a troubling imagination.

Résumé:
Sky Hopinka's ''Perfidia'' moves within the textured landscape of memory, both personal and collective, to address the founding colonial violence of the United States and its lasting impact. In a series of cantos, the book-length poem surfaces a first-person narrative amidst the stream of history and its accounting through the voices of ancestors and kin. Shifting registers between the embodied and the spiritual, ''Perfidia's'' subjective syntax destabilizes entrenched colonial perspectives and concomitant descriptions of land, sky, sea, myth, place, and personhood.
