This Bridge Called My Back, Fortieth Anniversary Edition: Writings by Radical Women of Color, edited by Cherríe Moraga & Gloria Anzaldúa

“These essays and poems do more than just revisit the hopes, fears, frustrations, and accomplishments of women of color circa 1981; they also shed light on concerns women continue to face today … There are lines of poetry here sure to stir the imagination and connect with all ages, races, and genders … This Bridge Called My Back deserves to be picked up by a new generation of radical women.” — ForeWord Reviews

Sun, Sea, Soil, Wine: Winemaking on the North Fork of Long Island, by Richard Olsen-Harbich

Holotropic Breathwork, Second Edition: A New Approach to Self-Exploration and Therapy, by Stanislav Grof & Christina Grof

"Holotropic Breathwork elucidates a map expanded beyond the biographical and psychological realms of Western psychology into the perinatal and transpersonal realms identified by modern consciousness research and the study of ancient and tribal rituals and their cosmologies … The wonder of this book … is that this is not just a book, a map, a set of theories, or someone's research results, but that it also describes a very concrete and currently available technique one can employ for transformation." — Journal of Transpersonal Psychology

"For anyone interested in holotropic breathwork this book offers a very extensive and detailed overview … [and] offers a number of practical details of how to conduct a session." — Network Review

The Primal Wound: A Transpersonal View of Trauma, Addiction, and Growth, by By John Firman & Ann Gila

"Firman and Gila integrate important material from diverse schools of psychology and then expand it with their personal touch. The Primal Wound presents a scholarly--yet understandable to the educated lay person--description of some of the important dynamics of psychological wounding from a broad perspective, while also going deep into the soul and even exploring our relationship to God. There is little available on this topic and in the area of trauma psychology." -- Charles Whitfield, M.D., author of Memory and Abuse: Remembering and Healing the Wounds of Trauma

Black Women's Mental Health: Balancing Strength and Vulnerability, edited by Stephanie Y. Evans, Kanika Bell, and Nsenga K. Burton

"By bringing together people in the social sciences, the humanities and policy in the writing of Black Women's Mental Health, the editors help women in the academy begin to forge partnerships that help center and amplify black women's voices. The book provides a bibliography of sources that researchers can utilize to build models for future research and programming." — Women in Higher Education

Student Success: Foundations of Self-Management, by Gian Paolo Roma

"The book takes an approach to student success that is generally lacking in the literature. The strategic approach turns inward, encouraging self-reflection, and draws connections with academic and workplace success. Grounded in the academic literature, the book makes the self-management information accessible." — Deborah Moeckel, Senior Assistant Provost, Academic Programs and Planning, SUNY System Admin

The Life and Death of Buffalo's Great Northern Grain Elevator: 1897-2023, by Bruce Jackson

"Bruce Jackson's Great Northern is stunning, both as a work of photography and as an indictment of the public trust gone missing in an American city. The text provides the context for the truth that the photographs reveal: An imposing and beautiful work of nineteenth century engineering was working just as designed and built well into the twenty-first century. Airtight, watertight, resting in a frame of massive steel columns, beams, and trusses—the building was never going to fall down of its own, or nature's, accord. Only venal men could cause that. Over a fall, a winter, and part of a spring, the falsity of the justifications for destruction of this American landmark was painfully evident to anyone who cared to bear witness. Many did. Bruce Jackson has perhaps done it best." — Tim Tielman, Director, The Campaign for Greater Buffalo History, Architecture & Culture

Cycling the Erie Canal, Fifth Edition: A Guide to 360 Miles of Adventure and History Along the Erie Canalway Trail, by Parks & Trails New York

Gnosis and Hermeticism from Antiquity to Modern Times, edited by Roelof van den Broek & Wouter J. Hanegraaff

"This collection presents in a clear and concise way a series of critical distinctions that collectively map the field: Hermetism, Gnosticism, gnosis, Manichaeism, Hermeticism, Catharism, Esotericism, Romanticism, and the New Age. These often confused and misperceived phenomena have been delineated crisply, in a way that permits this collection to serve nicely as a general introduction to the field. This book articulates a new standard of precision and clarity." -- Dan Merkur, author of Gnosis: An Esoteric Tradition of Mystical Visions and Unions
