- City Boy [graphic novel] / by Pak, Greg,author.; Abbott, Wes,letterer.; Cheng, Sebastian,colorist.; Choi, Mike,illustrator.; Gho, Sunny,colorist,illustrator.; Jung, Minkyu,illustrator.;
"Meet a new Korean hero named ... City Boy! Or at least, that's the best translation of what the cities call him. City Boy, a.k.a. Cameron Kim, is just trying to make a living by using his powers of being able to speak to cities to find lost and hidden goods to pawn, and it's only just enough to get by. And those abilities mean he hears everything everywhere all the time, including each city's histories and the truths behind them. (It's very loud in his head and something he has to live with.) As his powers get stronger, the cities start forming animal avatars from scraps in order to physically travel alongside him on his adventures. Of course, Gotham is a rat avatar made of city scraps, but what about Metropolis, Blüdhaven, Amnesty Bay, or even Themyscira? And not all cities are so kind."--- Subjects: Graphic novels.; Superhero comics.; Asian American superheroes; Korean Americans; Superheroes, Asian; Superheroes;

- Out of the darkness : the Germans, 1942-2022 / by Trentmann, Frank,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index.In 1945, Germany lay in ruins, morally and materially. Its citizens stood condemned by history, responsible for a horrifying genocide and war of extermination. But by the end of Angela Merkel's tenure in 2021, Germany appeared to be the moral voice of Europe, welcoming more than one million refugees, holding together the tenuous threads of the European Union, and making military restraint the center of its foreign policy. Frank Trentmann paints a remarkable and surprising portrait spanning eighty years of the conflicted people at the center of Europe, showing how the Germans became who they are today. 'Out of the Darkness' is a gripping and nuanced history of the German people from WWII to the present day, including hugely revealing new primary source material on every aspect of its transformation.- Subjects: Collective memory; Group identity; National characteristics, German.;

- Night angel nemesis / by Weeks, Brent,author.;
"After the war that cost him so much, Kylar Stern is broken and alone. Hes determined not to kill again, but an impending amnesty will pardon the one murderer he cant let walk free. He promises himself this is the last time. One last hit to tie up the loose ends of his old, lost life. But Kylars best, and maybe only, friend, the High King Logan Gyre, needs him. To protect a fragile peace, Logan's new kingdom, and the king's twin sons, he needs Kylar to secure a powerful magical artifact that was unearthed during the war. With rumors that a kakari may be found, adversaries both old and new are on the hunt. And if Kylar has learned anything, it is that ancient magics are better left in the hands of those he can trust. If he does the job right, he wont need to kill at all. This isnt an assassination-its a heist. But some jobs are too hard for an easy conscience, and some enemies are so powerful the only answer lies in the shadows"--- Subjects: Fantasy fiction.; Novels.; Antiquities; Assassins; Imaginary places; Magic;

- Universal : renewing human rights in a fractured world / by Neve, Alex,1962-author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."The 2025 Massey Lecture delivered by human rights activist and former secretary general of Amnesty International Canada Alex Neve. Universality is the core promise of the human rights order born out of the devastation of World War II and the Holocaust: these rights extend to everyone, everywhere, at all times, without exception. But the cruel reality is that the word universal also screams of our profound failure to keep the promise. Too often, human rights are applied selectively, withdrawn on the whims of political leaders, or ignored altogether, and the broken promise is palpable in humanity's darkest moments, not only in violent conflict, but also in the economic, political, and social structures of our fractured world. This is not universality's finest hour. At a time of immense global challenges, including the climate crisis, mass atrocities, and the rise of hate, the promise of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights is deeply contested and frayed, even as people demand and embrace their rights as never before. Weaving together law, history, and stories from decades on the front lines of the struggle for human rights, Alex Neve investigates where we went wrong, how we have progressed, and what we can do to fulfill the promise that human rights are inherent, inalienable, and applicable to all people"--- Subjects: Human rights.; International law and human rights.;
