This authoritative volume features two landmark story collections by one of America's most beloved authors, along with 27 additional speculative and strange tales, including 7 that have been restored to print. Ray Bradbury, renowned for over 400 short stories, excelled in science fiction, speculative fiction, horror, and dark fantasy. The first collection, a more Earthbound companion to his classic work, comprises eighteen stories linked by the metaphor of a tattooed outcast. These tales delve into the dehumanizing effects of technology, as seen in "The Veldt" and "The Rocket Man," and explore humanity's darker aspects, exemplified in "The Visitor." The second collection gathers nineteen macabre stories, including carnival tales and speculative horror. Notable narratives such as "Uncle Einar" and "Homecoming" focus on the monstrous Elliott family, while "The Next in Line" follows a woman trapped in a Mexican town. "Touched with Fire" features two men who can foresee murders. This edition also restores original artwork by Joe Mugnaini and includes 27 additional short stories from Bradbury's early career, selected by scholar Jonathan R. Eller. Highlights include "Frost and Fire," "The Pedestrian," and "I Sing the Body Electric!," along with rarities like "R is for Rocket," "Asleep in Armageddon," and "The Lost City of Mars."

What exactly is critical race theory? This concise and accessible exploration demystifies a crucial framework for understanding and fighting racial injustice in the United States.“A clear-eyed, expert field guide.”—Dr. Tressie McMillan Cottom, author of Thick From renowned scholar Dr. Victor Ray, On Critical Race Theory explains the centrality of race in American history and politics, and how the often mischaracterized intellectual movement became a political necessity.Ray draws upon the radical thinking of giants such as Ida B. Wells, W.E.B. Du Bois, and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., to clearly trace the foundations of critical race theory in the Black intellectual traditions of emancipation and the civil rights movement. From these foundations, Ray explores the many facets of our society that critical race theory interrogates, from deeply embedded structural racism to the historical connection between whiteness and property, ownership, and more.In succinct, thoughtful essays, Ray presents, analyzes, and breaks down the scholarship and concepts that constitute this often misconstrued term. He explores how the conversation on critical race theory has expanded into the contemporary popular conscience, showing why critical race theory matters and why we should all care.
