Ephemera: A Memoir
Ephemera is a poetic and dreamlike take on a graphic memoir set in a garden, a forest, and a greenhouse. The story drifts among a grown woman, her early memories as a child, and the gossamer existence of her mother. A lyrical entry in the field of graphic medicine, Ephemera is a story about a daughter trying to relate to a parent who struggles with mental illness. Gorgeously illustrated in a painted palette of warmy, earthy tones, it is a quiet book of isolation, plants, confusion, acceptance, and the fog of childhood. Loewinsohn's debut book is an aching, meditative twist on autobiography, infusing the genre with an ethereal fusion of memory and imagination.

Eufrasia Burlamacchi
Showcasing the beautiful illuminations of Sister Eufrasia Burlamacchi, this monograph is the first devoted to her life and work. The illuminated manuscripts of Sister Eufrasia Burlamacchi (1478-1548) are truly a sight to behold. Her multifaceted illumination is a balanced blend of simplicity of forms, variety of colors, and fanciful inventions. Though born into a wealthy family, Sister Eufrasia was sent to live in a convent when she was a young girl. Within the convent walls of San Domenico in Lucca, Italy, where she lived and worked, Burlamacchi attained high levels of artistic proficiency through her knowledge of drawing and color technique, composition, treatment of space, and proportions. Through the thorough scholarship of author Loretta Vandi, this volume argues that Sister Eufrasia not only became the primary illuminator in her Dominican convent in Lucca but was also exposed to the work of artists we now include in the High Renaissance. On this ground, she pursued a clear iconographic program, supported by a style that quickly reached its maturity. Ultimately, she passed her artistic solutions on to younger sisters in faith to establish a convent workshop where mutual exchange was the norm, thus participating in a long tradition of artistic tutelage. Here, for the first time, Eufrasia Burlamacchi is recognized and discussed as an influential and gifted artist in her own right.

Everything Is Tuberculosis: The History and Persistence of Our Deadliest Infection
Instant #1 New York Times bestseller! - #1 Washington Post bestseller! - #1 Indie Bestseller! - USA Today Bestseller! John Green, acclaimed author and passionate advocate for global healthcare reform, tells a deeply human story illuminating the fight against the world's deadliest infectious disease. Signed edition "The real magic of Green's writing is the deeply considerate, human touch that goes into every word." -The Associated Press″Told with the intelligence, wit, and tragedy that have become hallmarks of the author's work.... This is the story of us." -Slate "Earnest and empathetic." -The New York Times Tuberculosis has been entwined with humanity for millennia. Once romanticized as a malady of poets, today tuberculosis is seen as a disease of poverty that walks the trails of injustice and inequity we blazed for it. In 2019, author John Green met Henry Reider, a young tuberculosis patient at Lakka Government Hospital in Sierra Leone. John became fast friends with Henry, a boy with spindly legs and a big, goofy smile. In the years since that first visit to Lakka, Green has become a vocal advocate for increased access to treatment and wider awareness of the healthcare inequities that allow this curable, preventable infectious disease to also be the deadliest, killing over a million people every year. In Everything Is Tuberculosis, John tells Henry's story, woven through with the scientific and social histories of how tuberculosis has shaped our world--and how our choices will shape the future of tuberculosis.
