When Lu and George Barnes drop their only daughter, Pippa, off at college, they return to their Sonoma home to find that their paths have diverged. Confronted with an empty nest, Lu&’s increasing dissatisfaction with their materialistic lives becomes impossible to ignore.

In contrast, George is eager to throw himself into his business, a local winery with an elite clientele, as well as his art collection. He cannot for the life of him understand his wife&’s discontent. Meanwhile, Pippa feels completely adrift at school in the bustle of LA—its unfamiliar noises, its unfriendly atmosphere. She finds comfort only in the beloved family cat she&’s brought with her and in her zoology class, which makes the world seem just a bit brighter. As Lu, George, and Pippa struggle to adapt, growing apart in the process, tensions outside the family are mounting as well; women have been disappearing across the country with no worldly explanation, all while California&’s wildfire season is swiftly approaching, bringing with it a reckoning that none of the Barneses can avoid.

Unlocking Harry Potter: Five Keys for the Serious Reader
by John GrangerIvory Tower culture mavens have, in patronizing fashion, dismissed the Potter books. Many Christian believers have condemned the books as "gateways to the occult." Is Harry Potter "really just slop" as Yale's Harold Bloom tells us? Are children reading these books in greater danger of joining dangerous cults than those who do not? Reading the books in context and in depth reveals answers to these questions as well as the reason these books upset both the intelligentsia and the true believers (who, it should be noted, are odd bedfellows!).

Unlocking the Future: The Urban Imagination in Contemporary Chinese Science Fiction
by Luo XiaomingThe book highlights the urban imagination in contemporary Chinese science fiction, in order to assess the capacity of Chinese society to conceive of the future. The author argues that ‘the future’ is a set of directional and normative ideas that forms the basis of the entire social mobilization mechanism in China, while the capacity to imagine the future is likely to be produced in response to the present challenges. By discussing the urban space, the reconstruction of time, the infrastructure, and concepts of the 'urban-rural' and civilization in contemporary Chinese science fiction, she demonstrates how contemporary Chinese sci-fi may offer potential solutions to ways of ‘unlocking’ the future. In addition, she also points out the limitations of Chinese society’s imaginative vision of the future. The book will be of interest to scholars and postgraduate students of modern Chinese literature, science fiction studies, urban studies, or cultural studies.
