From one of the most influential officeholders in Texas and one of the most influential power brokers in Washington over the last 70 years, lifetime Democrat Ben Barnes, an intimate and unexpected look behind the corridors of power, featuring Barnes's experiences with LBJ, Nixon, Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton, Nancy Pelosi, Barack Obama, Donald Trump, and Joe Biden, among many others. Ben Barnes started out as a whistleblower. He was only 19 when he uncovered corruption in the Health Department in Austin, TX, and testified against the culprits. He felt empowered - a guy like him could make a difference. Now at 87, despite an over 70-year career in and around Washington and Texas, he is trying to go more places and solve more problems than any other time in his life. Barnes is ready to share his decades of political experience and remind readers that there is a way to keep going and keep fighting, even in the golden years. The golden years are a fine time to get things done. In GET IT DONE, Ben Barnes details never-before-heard stories of the most consequential politicians of the past several decades, including Lyndon B. Johnson, Richard Nixon, John Connally, Hubert Humphrey, Ross Perot, Barbara Jordan, Nancy Pelosi, Joe Biden, and Donald Trump. He will shed new light on pivotal political events, including the Kennedy assassination, the Anwar Sadat assassination, the Vietnam War, and the Iranian hostage crisis. Further, Barnes offers actionable lessons to successfully face, combat, and thwart the consequences of a second Trump term.

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Shameless, Brian Tyler Cohen explores how Republicans have abused power, how Democrats have refused to exercise power when they held it, and how progressives should wield power if they are fortunate enough to win a free and fair election in a post-Trump world. This book is a wake-up call about the decades-long project that led to Trump's America. It's the playbook for progressives who want to do far more than restore the status quo. This is how we build a stronger country, with hope and opportunity for all -- before our democracy slides into a distant memory.

An industrial designer and former Global Creative Director at Nike delivers a sharp critique of the consequences of a world built by and for men, and offers an optimistic look at how we might build a better world for us all. Women and men inhabit the same world, yet it does not suit them both equally. Women are 73% more likely to be injured in a car crash than men. In the military, women suffer pelvic fractures at a much higher rate than their male counterparts. In construction, 90% of women are unable to find proper fitting safety gear. These outcomes are not a coincidence--they are a result of products where the female population is an afterthought at best. Automobile crash test dummies used for safety tests are designed based on male anatomy, as is firefighting gear and personal protective equipment. Using a "shrink it and pink it" strategy, sneakers for women are scaled down versions originally designed for a man's foot, and colored a stereotypical feminine color - like pink. In the design of products and places, the female body is often invisible and ignored. The result is a world less hospitable and more dangerous for women. It doesn't have to be this way. A designer for over 40 years at some of the world's top corporations, including Reebok and Nike, Karen Korellis Reuther has witnessed the way women continue to be excluded from critical product design decisions. But Man-Made, isn't a patriarchal lament; it is a rousing call to action drawn from research-backed insights, market analyses, and expertise from leading designers, executives, and economists. From the simply insulting and uncomfortable to the dangerous and deadly, the effects of exclusively man-made designs are wide-ranging. Rethinking and expanding product design and architecture, Reuther contends, will not only create a world that better fits women, but a world that better fits everyone.

Cucina Povera author Giulia Scarpaleggia continues her celebration of the soul of Italian cooking with a beautiful and delicious focus on vegetables Italians have a gift for making vegetables shine. It's about simplicity, balance, and an instinctive understanding of flavor to get the best out of each vegetable, whether it's eaten fresh along with a squeeze of lemon and a sprinkle of salt or roasted slowly with a drizzle of olive oil and a handful of fresh herbs. This deep-rooted practice of simplicity comes from Italy's cucina povera where seasonal vegetables dishes are nourishing everyday meals. The recipes in this book are the creations of Giulia Scarpaleggia (@julskitchen) and celebrate cucina casalinga--Italian home cooking. They include some of Italy's most iconic dishes like Eggplant Parmesan, Panzanella Salad, and Sicilian Caponata, as well as regional favorites like Braised Artichokes and Fennel Gratin.

In the spirit of An Immense World and Soul of an Octopus, an award-winning neuroscientist and veteran horse trainer illuminates the mysteries of equine cognition and behavior, told through the moving story of her own extraordinary bond with a horsenamed True North. The bond between horses and humans is the stuff of legend. Two different beings, two different bodies and brains, yet energy sparks between them. When that energy is captured, it can produce a special union that no other prey and predator animals share. A Horse's World is the first book of its kind to explore the fascinating science of how horses think, feel, learn, and connect with their human companions. Tracing the story of one 1500-pound Dutch Warmblood as he learns how to negotiate the human world, neuroscientist and horse trainer Janet Jones reveals surprising lessons about cross-species communication; studies of equine learning and perception; evidence of the horse's astounding memory and expressive ability; and scientific insight into the miracle of the horse-human connection. Horses have so much to teach us about confidence, courage, and compassion. Whether you're an experienced rider or simply admire equine beauty and grace from afar, A Horse's World is both a revealing window into horses' hearts and minds, and an object lesson in how to build mutual trust with those whose internal worlds differ from our own.

Li Zhi, a thinker in the Ming Dynasty of China, said: "Take other people's topics to express one's own thoughts." This book uses the topic of "Leading the World" to express the thoughts of the Chinese nation and the people of the world: plague, hunger, kidnapping, killing, nuclear threat, nuclear proliferation, environmental degradation, arms race, racial antagonism, continuous wars, fragmented homes, scattered families, and the polarization of the rich and the poor, the hostility among countries and people... The blue planet is torn by power while noble spirit has fallen into selfishness. The crisis of mankind's survival is becoming more and more serious, and the world's doomsday seems to be not far away. Introspect and redeem! Socrates, Jewish prophets, Lao Tzu, Confucius, Shakyamuni, as well as the cross of Jesus and Muhammad's "Quran": how should human beings bear the weight of this history! This book profoundly proves that capitalism and socialism are not absolute opposition, but the same in opposition: live together and coexist. Capitalism's promotion of productivity has contributed to the progress of socialism, and socialism's transformation of production relations has overcome the disadvantages of capitalism. Mankind will blaze a path of progress and bright reality in the mutually beneficial cooperation between capitalism and socialism.

In a world that feels more divided than ever, there has never been a greater need for a more nuanced conversation about bias. And while racism is widely recognized as a social ill, there is another, more invisible hierarchy informed by our most visible feature, skin tone--and it impacts all of our lives. Dr. Sarah Webb's Colorism arrives to decode the under-discussed topic and offers an actionable program for both personal growth and to course correct for collective healing. Colorism is the systemic oppression and social marginalization of people with darker skin tones and the privileging and empowerment of people with lighter skin tones. Colorism rivals similar societal problems like racism and sexism in that it leads to differences in everything from pay and wealth, healthcare outcomes, and political representation to family, social life, and romantic partnership. So why don't we know how to talk about it or what to do about it? Often shrouded by the desire to "keep it in the family" and deemed taboo among Black and communities of color, in which people of the same race can vary in skin tone, colorism often skates by as sibling disagreements, personal preferences, and other interpersonal conflict, rather than a systemic issue. And it's not just something that people of color face alone. White people, institutions, and even media and entertainment outlets can exhibit colorist behaviors and attitudes too. Dr. Webb explains what colorism is, breaks down where and how it shows up in our lives, and address how it disenfranchises us all. Complete with a framework for addressing the harm that colorism causes, Colorism is an essential tool to help us move toward a more equitable, compassionate world.

An unforgettable story of survival and resilience in the death camps of World War II. A miracle unfolded on October 9, 1944, at Auschwitz. Amidst the gas chambers and crematoria, a ragtag group of Jewish boys, aged thirteen to seventeen, were marched naked into Crematorium 5, their names already crossed out in Nazi ledgers as "gestorben," or "dead." They would soon be put to death in the infamous gas chambers. But just moments before Zyklon B pellets were released, fate intervened: three German officers arrived on motorbikes and ordered their evacuation, selecting them to unload a consignment of potatoes from Greece. This is their astonishing story. Miracle: The Boys Who Escaped the Gas Chamber in Auschwitz illuminates their incredible journey from the brink of death to lives of profound purpose and resilience. Experience the raw emotion, the struggle for survival, and the enduring power of faith amidst unimaginable cruelty. These boys--who survived concentration camps, death marches, and constant dehumanization--rebuilt their families and became living testaments to hope. Through archival research, survivor testimonies, and haunting personal accounts, Miracle gives voice to a chapter of Holocaust history that was nearly lost. It reveals how a single twist of fate and the strength of the human spirit changed the course of so many lives. Miracle is more than a historical account; it is a memorial of tears, defiance, and unimaginable dignity, urging us to remember and carry forward their legacy for a better future. Their courage echoes through time, reminding us that even in history's darkest moments, the light of humanity can prevail.

From the social media superstar behind @SimonSits, Isabel Klee--known for her heartwarming tales of dog rescue--comes an utterly winning memoir about a twentysomething woman's search for true love in New York City and the dogs who helped her find it. A Jersey girl by birth, Isabel Klee had always wanted to live in New York City. At age 20, she got her chance, ditching her college upstate for Marymount Manhattan and moving into a tiny basement apartment on the Upper East Side. Dog-obsessed since childhood, her first post-grad job was managing content for the mega-popular account The Dogist, and something clicked into place: a career focused on helping dogs was the new dream. Isabel quickly found a passion for using her own growing platform to help rescue pups find their forever homes. At the same time, she was caught up in a whirlwind of friendships, parties, fickle boyfriends and grand romances, which she recounts in honest, tender, and sometimes devastating chapters about the search for love and belonging. Isabel's first true love, though, was Simon, a fluffy puppy who'd been saved from the meat trade. As the highs and lows of this classically-turbulent decade hit Isabel in wave after wave, it was Simon who kept her grounded. Together, Isabel and Simon created an online community of dog-lovers, fellow foster advocates, and girls just trying to get through the trenches of their twenties. In this adorable and moving memoir, Isabel weaves together the stories of her foster dogs--and the challenges she helped them overcome--with tales of bad dates, hard decisions, and great loves in New York City, all leading to a happy ending not only for the rescue pups, but for Isabel herself.

Join a veteran science on a fascinating adventure as she explores the ever-more-astounding world of insects -- all in her own backyard. When science writer Margie Patlak was inspirited to take a quick close-up snapshot of a bee in her backyard, it was the start of a year's long obsession with cataloging and understanding the tiny creatures that were all around her. The essays in her book showcase the superpowers, alien anatomies, and striking untold behaviors and thinking abilities of bugs hidden in plain sight in backyards, parks, gardens, and even in the flowerpots that dot city courtyards and balconies. Each essay focuses on a specific bug and explores the big ideas these little bugs raise, such as whether the maternal instinct is truly instinctual, the value of a short life, whether to blend in or alter your environment, and whether you can have altruism without tribal atrocities. But what perhaps makes INSECT SAFARI the most intriguing is its reporting on the plethora of recent scientific findings revealing there's more to the inner lives and behaviors of insects than people ever thought possible. Who knew wasps use tools and recognize faces, bees play with balls and do math, ants invented farming way before we did, and even fruit flies mull over their mating choices? These findings reinforce the notion that we aren't the only intelligent beings on Earth and tap into people's curiosity about the alien life right here on their own planet.

A captivating exploration of climate change that uses nine different emotions to better understand the science, history, and future of our evolving planet Scientist Kate Marvel has seen the world end before, sometimes several times a day. In the computer models she uses to study climate change, it's easy to simulate rising temperatures, catastrophic outcomes, and bleak futures. But climate change isn't just happening in those models. It's happening here, to the only good planet in the universe. It's happening to us. And she has feelings about that. Human Nature is a deeply felt inquiry into our rapidly changing Earth. In each chapter, Marvel uses a different emotion to explore the science and stories behind climate change. As expected, there is anger, fear, and grief--but also wonder, hope, and love. With her singular voice, Marvel takes us on a soaring journey, one filled with mythology, physics, witchcraft, bad movies, volcanoes, Roman emperors, sequoia groves, and the many small miracles of nature we usually take for granted. Hopeful, heartbreaking, and surprisingly funny, Human Nature is a vital, wondrous exploration of how it feels to live in a changing world. Human Nature is a biography of the Earth in nine emotions: Wonder Anger Guilt Fear Grief Surprise Pride Hope Love

During the 250th anniversary of American independence, questions have resurfaced about the original principles of the nation's Founding Fathers alongside modern worries regarding "Christian Nationalism." The Religious Life and Legacy of Thomas Jefferson goes to the core of these questions with evidence never seen before. Drawing from their larger work, Doubting Thomas?, the authors present a powerful but cogent study of Thomas Jefferson, the author of America's birth certificate--the Declaration of Independence. Through a chronological record of Jefferson's writings and actions on religion--including newly uncovered letters--this insightful resource reveals a man privately questioning some beliefs yet boldly affirming himself as a Christian, as well as being an advocate of nondenominational state support of religion. The authors then trace Jefferson's enduring religious legacy, from his role in securing religious freedom to founding the University of Virginia. Here the modern view of a strict separation of church and state is overwhelmingly proven to be contrary to the thinking and intentions of Jefferson and America's founders. Every American patriot should get reacquainted with America's founding principles and especially with the iconic figure of Thomas Jefferson. This volume is an essential reference for a new generation of patriots, scholars, and especially American Christians seeking to recover from historical amnesia and reconnect with the foundations of the greatest nation on earth.

Profiles of 50 historically significant American flags that chronicle the history of the country, timed to celebrate our nation's 250th anniversary Few symbols hold the gravity and inspiration of the American flag. It has encouraged heroics in trying times, soothed the nation after tremendous trauma, brightened the eyes of citizens, and offers comfort and hope. And of course it's our national symbol of democracy and freedom. Now, to be published on time for America's Semiquincentennial on July 4, 2026, Old Glory is a compelling look at the evolution of the flag through 50 significant versions of the country's ensign, commemorating the past two and a half centuries--from 1765 to 2026--of American history. Included are stories and images of flags that predate America's independence, such as Washington's Headquarters flag, which gave us the basic elements of the current design. And the Betsy Ross Flag, the country's first, and one of the most regarded and recognized flags; also here is The Lincoln flag that nobly cradled President Lincoln's head in his final hours. And the Apollo 11 flag that was planted in the surface of the moon. The flag appears in countless iconic pop culture moments as well, some of which are featured in the book, such as on Wonder Woman's original costume, and the flag's motif in the film Easy Rider. Old Glory is a must-have gift for American history enthusiasts and photography book collectors.

"A thought-provoking thriller filled with jaw-dropping twists that kept me racing through the pages." --Gigi Pandian, USA Today bestselling author of the Secret Staircase Mysteries A twisty thriller about a woman who vanishes from a luxury hotel, and the detective who believes the case is tied to the unsolved disappearances of other Black women in the city. Giovanni Mason worked hard to become the first Black head concierge at Chicago's exclusive and glamorous Ivory Hotel. It's a job that requires patience, perfection, and, above all, self-control. But when Giovanni reunites with her former best friend, makeup influencer Natalie Moore, things get heated as a mending of fences morphs into a public argument in the hotel restaurant, and Giovanni loses her cool. Hours later, Natalie is missing. Evidence piles against Giovanni--a ransacked, blood-spattered hotel room, fresh bruises on her body, and a troubling gap in her memory from the last twelve hours. Detective Redding Stark is the only one unconvinced of Giovanni's guilt. She sees disturbing parallels to a series of disappearances targeting Black women and believes Natalie's case is part of something bigger. Together, she and Giovanni are pulled into a dangerous web of privilege, power, and betrayal inside--and far beyond--the walls of the Ivory Hotel. Will Giovanni and Detective Stark find Natalie or join the missing?

A great thinning of the skies is underway. Around 50 percent of bird species are in decline worldwide. Our dawns are quieter each year than the last, and an almost unimaginable abundance has been lost. It does not have to be this way--but we will not save what we do not love. Inspired by the classic bird-books with which the authors grew up, The Book of Birds is a field guide with a difference: It aims to show its readers how to identify birds, but also how to identify with them. With the great beauty and exuberance they brought to The Lost Words and The Lost Spells, Robert Macfarlane and Jackie Morris together conjure the unique spirit of nearly fifty once-common species, from avocet to yellowhammer, kestrel to kingfisher, skylark to nightingale. Lyrically and playfully, Macfarlane describes each bird's habits and habitats, their patterns of flight and patterns of song, how they hunt or fish or scavenge or gather, how they nest and raise their chicks, the myths that attend them, the threats that shadow them--and how their lives intersect with our own. On every page we encounter Morris's exhilarating artwork, painted from life in watercolor and gold leaf, and animated with an extraordinary attention to detail. Set among this dazzling flock of species are sections celebrating the "Seven Wonders" that together make up the everyday miracle of birds: nest, egg, beak, song, feather, flight, and migration. The Book of Birds is a love letter to the great variety and wild mysteries of birdlife, and a clarion call to halt their rapid depletion from our skies.

For America's 250th birthday, a provocative argument that a "Long Revolution" formed the violently beating heart of American politics for decades after 1776 In the century after Independence, many Americans believed that their Revolution was still in progress. Far from a unifying national myth, the Revolution was for generations of Americans a source of radically conflicting political ideas. Nowhere was this clearer than on the Fourth of July, when Americans gathered for speeches that, as one orator put it in 1834, aimed to "examine the present, and to look forward to the future." In The Long Revolution, historian Nathan Perl-Rosenthal mines thousands of Independence Day orations to offer a stirring and revelatory new history of this Long American Revolution. In the words of local notables and national celebrities, men and women, white, Black, and Native, he identifies the contrasting visions, intense anxieties, and radical power evoked by the Revolution deep into the nineteenth century. The result is a history of the American founding for today's fragmented and anxious political moment, helping us find a usable past to guide us toward our own uncertain future.

2026 marks the 250th anniversary of American independence. A world No One Imagined describes how America was shaped into a new society and a new country over the course of two hundred years leading up to independence by the interactions - often peaceful and mutually beneficial but frequently violent and exploitive - of Native Peoples, Europeans, and Africans. There was much adventure, trade and romance, but also wars, slavery and rebellions. The result was a new and unique society, one with many problems but also many freedoms and opportunities as well.

From one of the most influential officeholders in Texas and one of the most influential power brokers in Washington over the last 70 years, lifetime Democrat Ben Barnes, an intimate and unexpected look behind the corridors of power, featuring Barnes's experiences with LBJ, Nixon, Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton, Nancy Pelosi, Barack Obama, Donald Trump, and Joe Biden, among many others. Ben Barnes started out as a whistleblower. He was only 19 when he uncovered corruption in the Health Department in Austin, TX, and testified against the culprits. He felt empowered - a guy like him could make a difference. Now at 87, despite an over 70-year career in and around Washington and Texas, he is trying to go more places and solve more problems than any other time in his life. Barnes is ready to share his decades of political experience and remind readers that there is a way to keep going and keep fighting, even in the golden years. The golden years are a fine time to get things done. In GET IT DONE, Ben Barnes details never-before-heard stories of the most consequential politicians of the past several decades, including Lyndon B. Johnson, Richard Nixon, John Connally, Hubert Humphrey, Ross Perot, Barbara Jordan, Nancy Pelosi, Joe Biden, and Donald Trump. He will shed new light on pivotal political events, including the Kennedy assassination, the Anwar Sadat assassination, the Vietnam War, and the Iranian hostage crisis. Further, Barnes offers actionable lessons to successfully face, combat, and thwart the consequences of a second Trump term.

An industrial designer and former Global Creative Director at Nike delivers a sharp critique of the consequences of a world built by and for men, and offers an optimistic look at how we might build a better world for us all. Women and men inhabit the same world, yet it does not suit them both equally. Women are 73% more likely to be injured in a car crash than men. In the military, women suffer pelvic fractures at a much higher rate than their male counterparts. In construction, 90% of women are unable to find proper fitting safety gear. These outcomes are not a coincidence--they are a result of products where the female population is an afterthought at best. Automobile crash test dummies used for safety tests are designed based on male anatomy, as is firefighting gear and personal protective equipment. Using a "shrink it and pink it" strategy, sneakers for women are scaled down versions originally designed for a man's foot, and colored a stereotypical feminine color - like pink. In the design of products and places, the female body is often invisible and ignored. The result is a world less hospitable and more dangerous for women. It doesn't have to be this way. A designer for over 40 years at some of the world's top corporations, including Reebok and Nike, Karen Korellis Reuther has witnessed the way women continue to be excluded from critical product design decisions. But Man-Made, isn't a patriarchal lament; it is a rousing call to action drawn from research-backed insights, market analyses, and expertise from leading designers, executives, and economists. From the simply insulting and uncomfortable to the dangerous and deadly, the effects of exclusively man-made designs are wide-ranging. Rethinking and expanding product design and architecture, Reuther contends, will not only create a world that better fits women, but a world that better fits everyone.

Cucina Povera author Giulia Scarpaleggia continues her celebration of the soul of Italian cooking with a beautiful and delicious focus on vegetables Italians have a gift for making vegetables shine.

This deep-rooted practice of simplicity comes from Italy's cucina povera where seasonal vegetables dishes are nourishing everyday meals. The recipes in this book are the creations of Giulia Scarpaleggia (@julskitchen) and celebrate cucina casalinga--Italian home cooking.

Li Zhi, a thinker in the Ming Dynasty of China, said: "Take other people's topics to express one's own thoughts." This book uses the topic of "Leading the World" to express the thoughts of the Chinese nation and the people of the world: plague, hunger, kidnapping, killing, nuclear threat, nuclear proliferation, environmental degradation, arms race, racial antagonism, continuous wars, fragmented homes, scattered families, and the polarization of the rich and the poor, the hostility among countries and people... The blue planet is torn by power while noble spirit has fallen into selfishness. The crisis of mankind's survival is becoming more and more serious, and the world's doomsday seems to be not far away. Introspect and redeem! Socrates, Jewish prophets, Lao Tzu, Confucius, Shakyamuni, as well as the cross of Jesus and Muhammad's "Quran": how should human beings bear the weight of this history! This book profoundly proves that capitalism and socialism are not absolute opposition, but the same in opposition: live together and coexist. Capitalism's promotion of productivity has contributed to the progress of socialism, and socialism's transformation of production relations has overcome the disadvantages of capitalism. Mankind will blaze a path of progress and bright reality in the mutually beneficial cooperation between capitalism and socialism.

In a world that feels more divided than ever, there has never been a greater need for a more nuanced conversation about bias. And while racism is widely recognized as a social ill, there is another, more invisible hierarchy informed by our most visible feature, skin tone--and it impacts all of our lives. Dr. Sarah Webb's Colorism arrives to decode the under-discussed topic and offers an actionable program for both personal growth and to course correct for collective healing. Colorism is the systemic oppression and social marginalization of people with darker skin tones and the privileging and empowerment of people with lighter skin tones. Colorism rivals similar societal problems like racism and sexism in that it leads to differences in everything from pay and wealth, healthcare outcomes, and political representation to family, social life, and romantic partnership. So why don't we know how to talk about it or what to do about it? Often shrouded by the desire to "keep it in the family" and deemed taboo among Black and communities of color, in which people of the same race can vary in skin tone, colorism often skates by as sibling disagreements, personal preferences, and other interpersonal conflict, rather than a systemic issue. And it's not just something that people of color face alone. White people, institutions, and even media and entertainment outlets can exhibit colorist behaviors and attitudes too. Dr. Webb explains what colorism is, breaks down where and how it shows up in our lives, and address how it disenfranchises us all. Complete with a framework for addressing the harm that colorism causes, Colorism is an essential tool to help us move toward a more equitable, compassionate world.

An unforgettable story of survival and resilience in the death camps of World War II. A miracle unfolded on October 9, 1944, at Auschwitz. Amidst the gas chambers and crematoria, a ragtag group of Jewish boys, aged thirteen to seventeen, were marched naked into Crematorium 5, their names already crossed out in Nazi ledgers as "gestorben," or "dead." They would soon be put to death in the infamous gas chambers. But just moments before Zyklon B pellets were released, fate intervened: three German officers arrived on motorbikes and ordered their evacuation, selecting them to unload a consignment of potatoes from Greece. This is their astonishing story. Miracle: The Boys Who Escaped the Gas Chamber in Auschwitz illuminates their incredible journey from the brink of death to lives of profound purpose and resilience. Experience the raw emotion, the struggle for survival, and the enduring power of faith amidst unimaginable cruelty.

From the social media superstar behind @SimonSits, Isabel Klee--known for her heartwarming tales of dog rescue--comes an utterly winning memoir about a twentysomething woman's search for true love in New York City and the dogs who helped her find it. A Jersey girl by birth, Isabel Klee had always wanted to live in New York City. At age 20, she got her chance, ditching her college upstate for Marymount Manhattan and moving into a tiny basement apartment on the Upper East Side. Dog-obsessed since childhood, her first post-grad job was managing content for the mega-popular account The Dogist, and something clicked into place: a career focused on helping dogs was the new dream. Isabel quickly found a passion for using her own growing platform to help rescue pups find their forever homes. At the same time, she was caught up in a whirlwind of friendships, parties, fickle boyfriends and grand romances, which she recounts in honest, tender, and sometimes devastating chapters about the search for love and belonging. Isabel's first true love, though, was Simon, a fluffy puppy who'd been saved from the meat trade. As the highs and lows of this classically-turbulent decade hit Isabel in wave after wave, it was Simon who kept her grounded. Together, Isabel and Simon created an online community of dog-lovers, fellow foster advocates, and girls just trying to get through the trenches of their twenties. In this adorable and moving memoir, Isabel weaves together the stories of her foster dogs--and the challenges she helped them overcome--with tales of bad dates, hard decisions, and great loves in New York City, all leading to a happy ending not only for the rescue pups, but for Isabel herself.

Join a veteran science on a fascinating adventure as she explores the ever-more-astounding world of insects -- all in her own backyard. When science writer Margie Patlak was inspirited to take a quick close-up snapshot of a bee in her backyard, it was the start of a year's long obsession with cataloging and understanding the tiny creatures that were all around her. The essays in her book showcase the superpowers, alien anatomies, and striking untold behaviors and thinking abilities of bugs hidden in plain sight in backyards, parks, gardens, and even in the flowerpots that dot city courtyards and balconies. Each essay focuses on a specific bug and explores the big ideas these little bugs raise, such as whether the maternal instinct is truly instinctual, the value of a short life, whether to blend in or alter your environment, and whether you can have altruism without tribal atrocities. But what perhaps makes INSECT SAFARI the most intriguing is its reporting on the plethora of recent scientific findings revealing there's more to the inner lives and behaviors of insects than people ever thought possible. Who knew wasps use tools and recognize faces, bees play with balls and do math, ants invented farming way before we did, and even fruit flies mull over their mating choices? These findings reinforce the notion that we aren't the only intelligent beings on Earth and tap into people's curiosity about the alien life right here on their own planet.

A captivating exploration of climate change that uses nine different emotions to better understand the science, history, and future of our evolving planet Scientist Kate Marvel has seen the world end before, sometimes several times a day. In the computer models she uses to study climate change, it's easy to simulate rising temperatures, catastrophic outcomes, and bleak futures. But climate change isn't just happening in those models. It's happening here, to the only good planet in the universe. It's happening to us. And she has feelings about that. Human Nature is a deeply felt inquiry into our rapidly changing Earth. In each chapter, Marvel uses a different emotion to explore the science and stories behind climate change. As expected, there is anger, fear, and grief--but also wonder, hope, and love. With her singular voice, Marvel takes us on a soaring journey, one filled with mythology, physics, witchcraft, bad movies, volcanoes, Roman emperors, sequoia groves, and the many small miracles of nature we usually take for granted. Hopeful, heartbreaking, and surprisingly funny, Human Nature is a vital, wondrous exploration of how it feels to live in a changing world. Human Nature is a biography of the Earth in nine emotions: Wonder Anger Guilt Fear Grief Surprise Pride Hope Love

What is beauty? Who gets to determine who is beautiful? What happens when you fall outside of beauty norms?

During the 250th anniversary of American independence, questions have resurfaced about the original principles of the nation's Founding Fathers alongside modern worries regarding "Christian Nationalism." The Religious Life and Legacy of Thomas Jefferson goes to the core of these questions with evidence never seen before. Drawing from their larger work, Doubting Thomas?, the authors present a powerful but cogent study of Thomas Jefferson, the author of America's birth certificate--the Declaration of Independence. Through a chronological record of Jefferson's writings and actions on religion--including newly uncovered letters--this insightful resource reveals a man privately questioning some beliefs yet boldly affirming himself as a Christian, as well as being an advocate of nondenominational state support of religion. The authors then trace Jefferson's enduring religious legacy, from his role in securing religious freedom to founding the University of Virginia. Here the modern view of a strict separation of church and state is overwhelmingly proven to be contrary to the thinking and intentions of Jefferson and America's founders. Every American patriot should get reacquainted with America's founding principles and especially with the iconic figure of Thomas Jefferson. This volume is an essential reference for a new generation of patriots, scholars, and especially American Christians seeking to recover from historical amnesia and reconnect with the foundations of the greatest nation on earth.

Profiles of 50 historically significant American flags that chronicle the history of the country, timed to celebrate our nation's 250th anniversary Few symbols hold the gravity and inspiration of the American flag. It has encouraged heroics in trying times, soothed the nation after tremendous trauma, brightened the eyes of citizens, and offers comfort and hope. And of course it's our national symbol of democracy and freedom. Now, to be published on time for America's Semiquincentennial on July 4, 2026, Old Glory is a compelling look at the evolution of the flag through 50 significant versions of the country's ensign, commemorating the past two and a half centuries--from 1765 to 2026--of American history. Included are stories and images of flags that predate America's independence, such as Washington's Headquarters flag, which gave us the basic elements of the current design. And the Betsy Ross Flag, the country's first, and one of the most regarded and recognized flags; also here is The Lincoln flag that nobly cradled President Lincoln's head in his final hours. And the Apollo 11 flag that was planted in the surface of the moon. The flag appears in countless iconic pop culture moments as well, some of which are featured in the book, such as on Wonder Woman's original costume, and the flag's motif in the film Easy Rider. Old Glory is a must-have gift for American history enthusiasts and photography book collectors.

"A thought-provoking thriller filled with jaw-dropping twists that kept me racing through the pages." --Gigi Pandian, USA Today bestselling author of the Secret Staircase Mysteries A twisty thriller about a woman who vanishes from a luxury hotel, and the detective who believes the case is tied to the unsolved disappearances of other Black women in the city. Giovanni Mason worked hard to become the first Black head concierge at Chicago's exclusive and glamorous Ivory Hotel. It's a job that requires patience, perfection, and, above all, self-control. But when Giovanni reunites with her former best friend, makeup influencer Natalie Moore, things get heated as a mending of fences morphs into a public argument in the hotel restaurant, and Giovanni loses her cool. Hours later, Natalie is missing. Evidence piles against Giovanni--a ransacked, blood-spattered hotel room, fresh bruises on her body, and a troubling gap in her memory from the last twelve hours. Detective Redding Stark is the only one unconvinced of Giovanni's guilt. She sees disturbing parallels to a series of disappearances targeting Black women and believes Natalie's case is part of something bigger. Together, she and Giovanni are pulled into a dangerous web of privilege, power, and betrayal inside--and far beyond--the walls of the Ivory Hotel.

A great thinning of the skies is underway. Around 50 percent of bird species are in decline worldwide. Our dawns are quieter each year than the last, and an almost unimaginable abundance has been lost. It does not have to be this way--but we will not save what we do not love. Inspired by the classic bird-books with which the authors grew up, The Book of Birds is a field guide with a difference: It aims to show its readers how to identify birds, but also how to identify with them. With the great beauty and exuberance they brought to The Lost Words and The Lost Spells, Robert Macfarlane and Jackie Morris together conjure the unique spirit of nearly fifty once-common species, from avocet to yellowhammer, kestrel to kingfisher, skylark to nightingale. Lyrically and playfully, Macfarlane describes each bird's habits and habitats, their patterns of flight and patterns of song, how they hunt or fish or scavenge or gather, how they nest and raise their chicks, the myths that attend them, the threats that shadow them--and how their lives intersect with our own. On every page we encounter Morris's exhilarating artwork, painted from life in watercolor and gold leaf, and animated with an extraordinary attention to detail. Set among this dazzling flock of species are sections celebrating the "Seven Wonders" that together make up the everyday miracle of birds: nest, egg, beak, song, feather, flight, and migration. The Book of Birds is a love letter to the great variety and wild mysteries of birdlife, and a clarion call to halt their rapid depletion from our skies.

For America's 250th birthday, a provocative argument that a "Long Revolution" formed the violently beating heart of American politics for decades after 1776 In the century after Independence, many Americans believed that their Revolution was still in progress. Far from a unifying national myth, the Revolution was for generations of Americans a source of radically conflicting political ideas. Nowhere was this clearer than on the Fourth of July, when Americans gathered for speeches that, as one orator put it in 1834, aimed to "examine the present, and to look forward to the future." In The Long Revolution, historian Nathan Perl-Rosenthal mines thousands of Independence Day orations to offer a stirring and revelatory new history of this Long American Revolution. In the words of local notables and national celebrities, men and women, white, Black, and Native, he identifies the contrasting visions, intense anxieties, and radical power evoked by the Revolution deep into the nineteenth century. The result is a history of the American founding for today's fragmented and anxious political moment, helping us find a usable past to guide us toward our own uncertain future.

2026 marks the 250th anniversary of American independence. A world No One Imagined describes how America was shaped into a new society and a new country over the course of two hundred years leading up to independence by the interactions - often peaceful and mutually beneficial but frequently violent and exploitive - of Native Peoples, Europeans, and Africans. There was much adventure, trade and romance, but also wars, slavery and rebellions. The result was a new and unique society, one with many problems but also many freedoms and opportunities as well.
