Sunrise on the Reaping
"Sunrise on the Reaping is a propulsive, heart-wrenching addition to The Hunger Games, adding welcome texture to the cruel world of Panem ... This is the project of dystopian fiction: to shine a light in tyranny's greasiest corners and show how people - ordinary, determined human beings - might take it apart" - New York Times "Collins is an excellent writer, and there are moments of surprising lyricism ... Sunrise on the Reaping contains enough both to snare new readers and to satisfy the most bloodthirsty fan" - Guardian “A brutal, tender tale that adds depth to the franchise, weaving pertinent themes of misinformation and propaganda around the thrills and action.” - The Observer When you've been set up to lose everything you love, what is there left to fight for? As the day dawns on the fiftieth annual Hunger Games, fear grips the districts of Panem. This year, in honour of the Quarter Quell, twice as many tributes will be taken from their homes. Back in District 12, Haymitch Abernathy is trying not to think too hard about his chances. All he cares about is making it through the day and being with the girl he loves. When Haymitch's name is called, he can feel all his dreams break. He's torn from his family and his love, shuttled to the Capitol with the three other District 12 tributes: a young friend who's nearly a sister to him, a compulsive oddsmaker, and the most stuck-up girl in town. As the Games begin, Haymitch understands he's been set up to fail. But there's something in him that wants to fight . . . and have that fight reverberate far beyond the deadly arena. Four books, five films and one worldwide phenomenon, The Hunger Games original trilogy changed the face of global YA and The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes was an instant number one bestseller (Nielsen Bookscan, May 2020). All four of the Hunger Games novels have been made into major feature films, starring Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson, Liam Hemsworth, Rachel Zegler, Tom Blyth and Peter Dinklage. A feature film for Sunrise On the Reaping - the fifth book in the Hunger Games series - is slated for November 2026 OTHER BOOKS IN THE SERIES The Hunger Games The Hunger Games illustrated edition released in October 2024 Catching Fire Mockingjay The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes

The Amateur Spirit in Scholastic Games and Sports
"The Amateur Spirit in Scholastic Games and Sports" is a compelling exploration of the role of athletics within the educational system. Written by Frederick Rand Rogers, a prominent advocate for reform in physical education, this work argues for the preservation of amateurism as a fundamental pedagogical tool. Rogers examines the shifting landscape of school sports during the early 20th century, cautioning against the encroachment of professionalization and the over-emphasis on winning at the expense of student development. The text delves into the philosophy of play, suggesting that the true value of scholastic games lies in the character-building and social benefits they provide to the participants. Rogers famously advocates for "player-controlled" games, where the responsibility for strategy and leadership rests with the students rather than the coaches. This provocative stance highlights the author's commitment to fostering independence and integrity through physical activity. A vital historical document for those interested in the sociology of sport and the history of education, "The Amateur Spirit in Scholastic Games and Sports" offers a powerful defense of sport as a medium for personal and social growth. It remains a thought-provoking read for educators, coaches, and sports historians seeking to understand the foundational debates that shaped modern interscholastic athletics.

The Odyssey
Step into the timeless epic of Homer's The Odyssey, where myth and destiny collide. Packaged in a stunning foiled cover. Follow legendary Odysseus, a king and hero forged in the fires of the Trojan War, as he embarks on a long and perilous journey that will push him to his limits. This is no ordinary voyage, though, as he and his crew find themselves on islands where mortals were never meant to tread. There are mythical creatures to battle at every turn – from the monstrous Cyclops Polyphemus to the spellbinding Sirens who wish to lure and deceive. And with each storm, sent by vengeful Poseidon, Odysseus must remember the real reason for this journey: home. His kingdom of Ithaca is under threat from those who are convinced their king has been lost in war. His wife, Penelope, and son, Telemachus, cling to hope, waiting for his return. Odysseus must rise to reclaim what is his and prove that no distance and no god can stand between a hero and his destiny.

Scholastic Metaphysics
"Scholastic Metaphysics" is a rigorous and systematic exploration of the fundamental principles of being and reality as defined by the Scholastic tradition. Written by John Francis McCormick, this work provides an essential introduction to the Aristotelian-Thomistic synthesis, which serves as the intellectual cornerstone of Catholic philosophical thought. The text guides the reader through the primary categories of metaphysics, examining the distinction between essence and existence, the transcendental properties of being-unity, truth, and goodness-and the foundational principles of causality, substance, and accident. McCormick's approach is characterized by logical precision and instructional clarity, making complex ontological questions accessible to both students of philosophy and those interested in the history of ideas. By articulating the hierarchical structure of the universe and the relationship between the finite world and the infinite, "Scholastic Metaphysics" offers a window into the classical pursuit of wisdom through disciplined reason. This volume remains a valuable resource for understanding the metaphysical underpinnings of Christian theology and the enduring legacy of medieval intellectual history.

Individuals and Institutions in Medieval Scholasticism
This volume explores the relationship between individuals and institutions in scholastic thought and practice across the twelfth and fifteenth centuries, setting an agenda for future debates. Written by leading European experts from numerous fields, this theoretically sophisticated collection analyses a wide range of intellectual practices and disciplines. Avoiding narrow approaches to scholasticism, the book addresses ethics, history, heresy, law, inquisition, metaphysics, pastoral care, poetry, religious orders, saints' cults and theology. A substantial introduction establishes an accessible historiographical context for the volume's agenda, and a final afterword examines implications for future research. The history of individuals and institutions in scholasticism has often been unhelpfully treated either as a simple intellectual genealogy of schools and doctrines, or a constitutional history of particular organizational forms. This volume advances our understanding by reconsidering these fields as a whole and addressing two large questions. What was the relationship between particular intellectuals and their wider networks? How did individuals alter their institutions, and how did those institutions shape their individuality? This volume is of major importance to intellectual, religious and cultural historians as well as historians of knowledge and science. It will engage those working on individuals and institutions in the middle ages as well as in other periods.

A Happy Homecoming or a Second Exile?
Was England their homecoming - or another exile? Discover the untold story behind one of the most turbulent chapters in British religious history.When English Benedictine nuns fled Revolutionary France and the Low Countries, they expected refuge in their homeland. Instead, they encountered poverty, prejudice, and profound identity conflict. This was not a triumphant return - it was a second exile.Drawing on rich, previously untapped archives, Scholastica Jacob uncovers the dramatic story of five Benedictine communities navigating displacement, rebuilding monastic life, and shaping Catholic revival in a Protestant England. Through vivid first-hand narratives of imprisonment, peril, and perseverance, this book explores themes of survival, spirituality, and cultural adaptation.Far more than a convent chronicle, this study bridges religious history, women's studies, and migration scholarship. It reveals the nuns' hidden contribution to education, ecumenical dialogue, and the intellectual currents of the Catholic Enlightenment - while offering fresh insight into the resilience of faith under pressure.

Progressive Scholasticism
"Progressive Scholasticism" is a profound examination of the Neo-Scholastic movement and its mission to revitalize medieval philosophical traditions for the modern era. In this insightful work, Gerardo Bruni explores the core tenets of Scholasticism-emphasizing the synthesis of faith and reason-and argues that these classical principles are not static relics of the past but are capable of continuous development and application. The text focuses on the metaphysical and epistemological foundations of the Thomistic tradition, analyzing how they can engage with and inform contemporary scientific and philosophical inquiries. Bruni advocates for a "progressive" approach to Scholasticism, one that remains rooted in the rigorous logic and theological clarity of the Middle Ages while remaining open to new insights and modern intellectual advancements. Highlighting the value of historical continuity in Western thought, "Progressive Scholasticism" serves as both a defense of traditional Catholic philosophy and a forward-looking manifesto for its growth. It is an invaluable resource for readers interested in the history of philosophy, the evolution of Christian doctrine, and the ongoing dialogue between religious conviction and rational investigation. This work remains a significant contribution to the early 20th-century intellectual effort to harmonize ancient wisdom with the challenges of the modern world.
