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.

As groundbreaking as Code Girls and Hidden Figures, this is the shocking true story of two segregated codebreaking units racing to unlock Stalin's atomic secrets in the face of a rapidly expanding Soviet nuclear threat at the dawn of the Cold War. Facing the global threat of a rising Communist world power in the aftermath of World War II, the U.S. employed hundreds of Black Americans to speed read Russian communications and gather essential information on the US's most dangerous nuclear rival. The result was the creation of a segregated civilian codebreaking unit known as the Traffic Processing Division--The Plantation. Despite wage discrimination, grueling hours, strict quotas, and harsh conditions, the Plantation's 100 college-educated Black women made invaluable breakthroughs in United States' Soviet intelligence even as the Red Scare and the backlash against civil rights eroded their democratic freedoms at home. Their underappreciated top-secret work led directly to victory over the USSR and the end of the Cold War thirty years later. In this thrilling history, Sarah Valentine tells their remarkable story in full for the first time. Decoding the Devil pays long overdue tribute to these little-known Black cryptologists' critical contributions to national security during the civil rights era, and offers a fresh perspective on the Cold War and American heroes of color.

When faced with a cancer diagnosis, navigating the maze of emotions and decisions can be overwhelming. In this inspiring and deeply personal memoir, Michael Handford - a professor of intercultural communication - shares his experience of a stage-4 throat cancer diagnosis at the age of 42 while living and working in Japan and the UK.

Poignant, and at times brutally funny, Lump in My Throat offers guidance, hope, and tools to navigate the toughest of times with dignity and strength.

"A tour de force of narrative reporting that examines how women are criminalized for actions they take to defend themselves or a loved one from violence, revealing a legal system that fails to protect them but never fails to punish them. Thirty percent of women serving time on murder and manslaughter charges in the U.S. are criminalized survivors: women who are arrested, prosecuted, and imprisoned for protecting themselves or a loved one from physical or sexual violence. When journalist Justine van der Leun set out to examine the phenomenon of criminalized survivors, she was met with silence, indifference, and a profound absence of data on the hundreds of thousands of women who have been forced into impossible choices and found themselves on the receiving end of the full force of the law. In Unreasonable Women, van der Leun sets out to tell the stories of these women, weaving together her own extensive on-the-ground research with the narratives of three criminalized survivors to examine how and why women are punished in America. In the lives of Tanisha, Jema, and TC, we see how the system fails survivors long before it punishes them and how familial, societal, and state violence replicate when early trauma is unacknowledged and untreated. Deeply researched and compellingly told, Unreasonable Women is a passionate call to action - and a forensic denunciation of a broken system that would rather condemn a woman to life behind bars than face up to its own failings"-- Provided by publisher.

A revealing, news driven account of the Trump Administration's mass deportation program, featuring never-before-told stories and behind-the-scenes reporting from NBC News' Senior Homeland Security Correspondent. In Undue Process, NBC's Senior Homeland Security correspondent Julia Ainsley takes us inside the Trump White House to expose how Stephen Miller, Kristi Noem, Tom Homan, and other virulently anti-immigration hardliners are executing the administration's mass deportation plan, seemingly prioritizing spectacle and punishment over security and legal constraints. Brimming with revelations from sources within ICE and the Department of Homeland Security, Undue Process is a harrowing chronicle of how the Trump administration aimed to create a process "like Amazon Prime, but with human beings"--only to construct a dehumanizing, chaotic system that will be challenged in the courts for years to come.

A Committee of One: How Faith + Action = A PurposeFULL Life is an inspirational memoir/self-help book from the Grandmother of Juneteenth that will be a testament to the transformative power of resilience, faith, and love. In 2016, then-90-year-old Opal Lee began her Opal Walks 2 DC campaign where she endeavored to walk 1,400 miles from Fort Worth, Texas to Washington, DC to bring awareness to the cause of making Juneteenth a federally recognized holiday. She was convinced that the country needed and wanted the unity that celebrating the abolition of slavery can bring. That it was bigger than Texas. Thankfully, on June 17, 2021, President Joseph Biden passed the bill making Juneteenth a National holiday and Ms. Opal stood alongside the president during this historic occasion, receiving the pen he used to sign off on the law. A Committee of One takes readers on a profound journey through Ms. Opal Lee's life by sharing stories that will reveal a life marked by resilience, faith, and unwavering determination. Drawing parallels to the beloved narrative style of Tuesdays with Morrie, A Committee of One will weave together personal anecdotes with timely wisdom and offer every reader inspiring nuggets for reflection. From the opening chapters, her narrative unfolds with the kind of raw honesty Ms. Opal is known for. She shares the challenges she's experienced (including the destruction of her childhood home by a white mob when she was twelve and the failure of her first marriage) as well as how those devastations allowed her the room to grow and become the woman she is today. All these stories are a testament to the indomitable human spirit, the fearlessness of our fortitude. The bottom-line goal in every chapter is to impart one significant and invaluable lesson: Adversity, though inevitable, need not define one's destiny. The heart of the story is Ms. Opal's steadfast commitment to hard work and perseverance. From balancing the demands of motherhood and education to securing career advancements to the activism that led her to be named "The Grandmother of Juneteenth," she's always tried to embody the transformative power of being steadfast. Because of this, A Committee of One is a powerful reminder that success is not measured by the absence of trials but by the willingness to confront and overcome them.

From international bestselling author and retired FBI special agent Joe Navarro--a guide to reading other people's body language and using your own to build and maintain lasting connections in an increasingly lonely and isolated world. As an FBI special agent focused on counterintelligence and behavioral assessment, Joe Navarro's ability to connect with people was never optional--it was essential. Victims needed to feel safe enough to open up, and suspects needed to trust him enough to tell the truth. With no time to slowly build rapport, Navarro mastered nonverbal communication: the language beneath words. The slightest gesture, a subtle shift in posture, and even fleeting eye contact became tools for creating trust and uncovering the truth. Connecting with others in our modern era can feel similarly daunting. In a world dominated by screens, remote work, and algorithm-driven dating, genuine human connection feels harder to come by than ever. Nevertheless, the need to bond, to belong, and to be understood remains as urgent as ever. In Connecting, Navarro distills decades of field experience and cutting-edge science into practical strategies anyone can use. This book offers clear, actionable advice for how to: Make a lasting first impression in interviews, meetings, and on dates Earn trust quickly and, most importantly, authentically Utilize proven techniques that few have mastered Recognize and defuse conflict before it escalates Strengthen personal and professional bonds that will endure Change the way you connect with others for a happier and longer life Backed by research and enriched with real-life stories, Connecting is more than a book on body language--it's a road map to stronger, healthier, and more meaningful relationships. Trusted by millions of readers worldwide, Joe Navarro delivers the ultimate guide to thriving in a world where true connection has never been more valuable.

Sketches, drawings, and scribbles from the private letters and notebooks of some of the greatest names in history--notable figures in art and literature, fashion and film--revealing that even the most influential minds have doodled their time away! From the first ever sketch of the Red Cross logo by its founder Clara Barton to a cartoon scrawled on a love letter from Charles Bukowski, the objects in this fascinating collection are a perfect reflection of the eclectic and storied cast of characters from whose archives they've been collected over the years. Organized alphabetically, with a range of influential names, from William Burroughs to Mark Twain, the book is a voyeur's treasure trove of the ephemeral, in which cultural icons reveal their own preoccupations, passions, plans, and distractions in the marginalia of their daily correspondence. A satirical sketch by Marc Chagall sits beside a quick self-portrait by Charlie Chaplin; a throwaway drawing on a dollar bill by Joan Miro follows the first ever idle iteration of Pippi Longstocking by Astrid Lindgren; and a hasty drawing by Andy Warhol precedes a sketch of Falstaff on a hotel notepad by Orson Welles. A treat for lovers of the analog in the digital age, and reproduced beautifully on uncoated paper to come as close as possible to the texture of the originals, Scrawl connects high and low, art and science, history and literature, youth and age, with the universal truth of doodling.

Elisabeth Elliot was a young missionary in Ecuador when members of a violent Amazonian tribe savagely speared her husband Jim and his four colleagues. Incredibly, prayerfully, Elisabeth took her toddler daughter, snakebite kit, Bible, and journal . . . and lived in the jungle with the Stone-Age people who killed her husband. Compelled by her friendship and forgiveness, many came to faith in Jesus. This courageous, no-nonsense Christian went on to write dozens of books, host a long-running radio show, and speak at conferences all over the world. She was a pillar of coherent, committed faith; a beloved and sometimes controversial icon. In this authorized biography, Becoming Elisabeth Elliot, bestselling author Ellen Vaughn uses Elisabeth's private, unpublished journals, and candid interviews with her family and friends, to paint the adventures and misadventures God used to shape one of the most influential women in modern church history. It's the story of a hilarious, sensual, brilliant, witty, self-deprecating, sensitive, radical, and surprisingly relatable person utterly submitted to doing God's will, no matter how high the cost. For Elisabeth, the central question was not, "How does this make me feel?" but, simply, "is this true?" If so, then the next question was, "what do I need to do about it to obey God?"

Acclaimed journalist Randall Sullivan tells the story of baseball in America, from its rough-and-tumble origins through the first decades of the twentieth century and into the pivotal summer of 1933--when national crisis and a sport's fight for survival converged in baseball's first All-Star Game 1933. America was still reeling from the crash. Breadlines stretched around city blocks, and shantytowns sprawled in the shadows of skyscrapers. American optimism was fading--and baseball was in trouble, too. Owners slashed budgets, fans stayed home, and even the mighty Babe Ruth seemed to have lost some of his magic. The election of Franklin D. Roosevelt offered hope, but just days before his inauguration, five shots rang out--missing the president-elect, killing the mayor of Chicago, and setting in motion a chain of events that would eventually bring together the world's best ballplayers for the first All-Star Game. It was a newspaperman's idea: The Game of the Century. Put the world's best players on one field and let the public decide who belonged there. At a moment when some feared the national pastime would not survive the decade, Chicago would host the ballgame as the highlight of the 1933 World's Fair. The city hoped to shed its reputation as a haven for gamblers and gangsters and help restore America's standing on the world stage. But abroad, dark clouds were gathering. Hitler was Germany's new chancellor, and Mussolini had consolidated his power. As visitors strolled the fairgrounds, Italian warplanes flew overhead, and a zeppelin sent by the German delegation circled the city emblazoned with a swastika. The First All-Star Game is the story of a nation and a sport at a crossroads, and a sweeping look back at baseball's early history and the America that shaped it. Deeply researched and filled with remarkable characters--legendary players like Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, and Lefty Grove rubbing shoulders with Bonnie and Clyde, Al Capone, and Charles Lindbergh--Randall Sullivan explores the history of an American obsession and captures the moment when both the sport and the nation found renewal in a single spectacle of hope.

With a foreword from ParentData's Emily Oster Take charge of your hormonal health at every stage of your life--from your first period to post menopause--with this groundbreaking, definitive guide from the force behind the viral Hot Flash Substack. From our mood to our metabolism, hormones are running the show behind nearly every bodily function. They tell our hearts how quickly to beat, our gut how to process the food we eat, our bones to release calcium, and our muscles to grow new fibers. Yet, most of us don't fully understand how our bodies and its systems work--and more importantly, what to do when they don't. Enter renowned endocrinologist Dr. Gillian Goddard, who knows firsthand how urgently women need clear, accessible information about their hormonal health. Drawing from years of clinical experience, she presents a definitive and engaging guide to hormonal health at every stage of a woman's life--from puberty to reproductive years to perimenopause to menopause to post menopause. As Dr. Goddard clearly explains, at each of these stages, there are four distinct hormone loops that keep our bodies in balance: the reproductive loop, the thyroid loop, the growth hormone loop, and the adrenal loop. While these loops often operate quietly in the background, each plays a powerful role in our lifelong health. There is no one-size-fits-all solution to the challenges and changes our bodies experience throughout our lives. But hormones often hold the key. Weaving stories from her practice with the latest medical research and featuring helpful charts and illustrations, Dr. Goddard breaks down the problems that commonly arise throughout our lives and offers a clear rubric for how to have better conversations with our doctors. Necessary and long overdue, The Hormone Loop equips us with the knowledge and confidence to become our own powerful, self-advocates.

From the pre-eminent WWII historian, an ardent chronicle of the unprecedented and far-sighted U.S. postwar decision to aid its enemies as well as its allies via the Marshall Plan, which led to eight decades of peace and prosperity in the West that could be upended in an "America First" environment On March 12, 1947, less than two years after the end of World War II, President Harry S. Truman gave a seminal speech before Congress, in response to a European crisis: Greece was facing economic collapse and encroaching Soviet ambition, and Truman felt the U.S. had to give financial aid to a free people resisting attempted subjugation, which, he emphasized, would promote "economic stability and orderly political processes." The U.S. was the richest nation in the world, but Truman believed that shared prosperity among the democracies would make them politically more stable and long-term peace much more likely. His momentous proposition that the U.S. bail out Greece led in turn to the unprecedented and radical Marshall Plan itself: the decision to aid not only U.S. allies but--for the first time in history--our former enemies as they all rebuilt from the ruins of the calamitous war. Indeed, with this aid Germany and Japan became economic powerhouses and, with most of Europe, staunch allies of the U.S.--and almost eighty years on the benefits of this extraordinary decision are still being felt. James Holland's deep knowledge of WWII gives him unique insight and appreciation for its historic aftermath. In tight and vivid prose, The Visionaries chronicles the prelude to the Marshall Plan--from Franklin Roosevelt's historic "four freedoms" speech and "Good Neighbor Policy" towards Central and South America to the landmark Bretton Woods Conference of July 1944, which established the International Monetary Fund and World Bank, pillars of world stability. But it was Truman who pushed for the Marshall Plan, which in 1948 kickstarted via economic assistance the fastest period of growth in European history. Its low-tariff environment encouraged trade and brought prosperity and longstanding peace throughout most of Europe and the Americas, including in the United States. However, Holland warns that we in the West have become complacent, less willing to safeguard the freedoms that extended prosperity has allowed; and he makes clear the remarkably far-sighted decisions made in the wake of WWII stand in stark contrast to our transactional approach to the world today.

The riveting story of the ring of spies known as the Cambridge Five, who infiltrated the highest levels of the British establishment and helped Stalin cement a half century of Soviet domination over Eastern Europe The Cambridge Five was the most infamous spy ring in history. Its members--Kim Philby, Anthony Blunt, Donald Maclean, Guy Burgess, and John Cairncross--met at university, amid the left-wing ferment overtaking British campuses between the World Wars. The Five were soon recruited by Soviet agents and pledged allegiance to Stalin, and each quickly took up a place in the British government. From the 1930s, they funneled top-secret intelligence to the USSR, some so sensitive that their Soviet handlers feared a double cross. Their unmasking in 1951 rocked Britain, helping to end a chummy, boys' club stranglehold on the country's institutions of power. But, as Antonia Senior shows, the Five's treachery had much graver and more devastating consequences across the world. Their work invaluably aided Stalin as he sought to build a Red Empire, condemning millions across Eastern Europe to decades of repression, violence, and death. Rife with code names, smuggled documents, clandestine rendezvous, and copious amounts of gin, Stalin's Apostles wields impeccable research and storytelling and all the thrilling details and high tragedy of a classic spy thriller.

Known as a Renaissance man, Thomas Jefferson across the span of his life excelled in a variety of fields, from politics to architecture to historical linguistics. Here he is depicted in his domestic role as the father of six White children (two of whom lived to adulthood); the grandfather of twelve White grandchildren; and the father of five Black children by Sally Hemings (four of whom lived to adulthood). In 1782, Jefferson's wife Martha Skelton Wayles died. Following her death, he attempted to perform both parental roles for his two surviving daughters. For more than three decades Jefferson developed an extraordinarily close relationship with his grandchildren. Participating intimately in every aspect of their childhood, he played games with them and gave life advice by engaging them in deep conversation and revealing correspondence through the exchange of hundreds of letters. Unfortunately, this rich record of written evidence does not exist for his shadow Black family.

Rediscover the Revolutionary War as a global fight for freedom What does Bunker Hill have in common with a jungle in Central America, a fort in India, and the towering Rock of Gibraltar?

With his trademark humor and empathy, Baxter finds the human stories behind this long-ago conflict, expanding the universe of those who contributed to the cause. He delivers a powerful message: The United States only exists because peoples of different races, languages, and religions learned how to fight together, writing an unexpected story of independence that continues to resonate and inspire today.

The creator of the hit podcast Tides of History offers a new look at humanity's deep past, showing us how our world was built not by inevitability, but by trial and error on a global scale. There's a familiar story about us humans: we went from hunting and gathering to farming, wandering bands to villages and cities, clans and chieftains to states and kings. But Lost Worlds offers a new narrative of humanity's deep history. Here beloved podcast host Patrick Wyman focuses on the 10,000-year span between the end of the Ice Age and the decline of the Bronze Age--the period when civilization as we understand it emerged, introducing social hierarchies, urbanism, complex political organizations, and the written word. But instead of being an arc of progress, this period of immense change was not linear; it was littered with fits and false starts, failures, disasters, and the complete collapse of complex societies. With the recent explosion in available archaeological evidence, including ancient human DNA, we can now understand long-past people in unprecedented detail. By focusing on lost worlds of individuals and societies, we see that to be human is to try and fail. But it is also to endure. In this nuanced retelling, human progress is no longer a straight march from caves to cities: Farming didn't always replace foraging, villages didn't automatically spark agriculture, and cities didn't necessitate rigid hierarchies. For thousands of years, humans merely improvised. By the end of the Bronze Age, the world had become unrecognizable: mammoths and giant sloths replaced by cattle and sheep, scattered nomadic bands replaced by millions living in cities, and farming on nearly every continent. Wyman argues that the rise of states and steady food production wasn't inevitable, but rather, the outcome of countless choices that reshaped the planet and made us who we are today. Sweeping, accessible, and filled with colorful detail, Lost Worlds is the story of how humanity built the world we live in--not by destiny, but by experiment.

The long-awaited memoir from country music legend, Clint Black--a raw, intimate, and unflinching story that traces his rise from struggling songwriter to chart-topping superstar and enduring music legend. Over twenty million records sold. Twenty-two number one career singles. 31 top ten singles. Nearly two dozen gold and platinum awards. Countless CMA and ACM awards. A Grammy Award. A star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. When it comes to modern music, few artists have had a bigger or more lasting impact than Clint Black. Since bursting onto the country music scene in 1989 with Killin' Time--the triple-platinum debut that delivered five consecutive number one singles--Black has built a genre-defining career spanning nearly four decades. Having written the soundtrack of a generation, Clint now puts pen to paper to write, for the first time, the story of the man behind the music. In his long-awaited memoir, Black shares the unfiltered, extraordinary account of his journey from a kid with a dream on the outskirts of Houston to a country music legend. From his near-death experiences as a young boy, to his decision to drop out of high school to pursue music, to countless years struggling as an unknown young artist, playing at any nightclub or hotel bar that would have him, Black's path to success had more twists than the Texas two-step. Once fame hit and the stakes got higher, Black didn't let the pressure of big crowds, big money, or big labels steer him off course. By writing from the heart and sticking to his guns, he built a legacy on his own terms. These values proved to be Black's north star navigating superstardom, including a difficult lawsuit against his ex-manager, Bill Ham; subsequently founding his own record label; recording with heroes such as Jimmy Buffett, Merle Haggard, and Eric Idle; his whirlwind romance and everlasting marriage with actress Lisa Hartman Black; and most recently, a critical issue with a cervical spine injury, which threatened the very thing that made him a star: his voice. With vivid, deeply personal stories--all told with Black's signature charm--he recounts how his steadfast dedication to his beliefs and his passion for music led him to success after success, and through storm after storm. For longtime fans and newcomers alike, Killin' Time is a revelatory and rare glimpse of the iconic life and career of a once in a generation talent. Killin' Time includes a 16-page color photo insert.

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.

As groundbreaking as Code Girls and Hidden Figures, this is the shocking true story of two segregated codebreaking units racing to unlock Stalin's atomic secrets in the face of a rapidly expanding Soviet nuclear threat at the dawn of the Cold War. Facing the global threat of a rising Communist world power in the aftermath of World War II, the U.S. employed hundreds of Black Americans to speed read Russian communications and gather essential information on the US's most dangerous nuclear rival. The result was the creation of a segregated civilian codebreaking unit known as the Traffic Processing Division--The Plantation. Despite wage discrimination, grueling hours, strict quotas, and harsh conditions, the Plantation's 100 college-educated Black women made invaluable breakthroughs in United States' Soviet intelligence even as the Red Scare and the backlash against civil rights eroded their democratic freedoms at home. Their underappreciated top-secret work led directly to victory over the USSR and the end of the Cold War thirty years later. In this thrilling history, Sarah Valentine tells their remarkable story in full for the first time. Decoding the Devil pays long overdue tribute to these little-known Black cryptologists' critical contributions to national security during the civil rights era, and offers a fresh perspective on the Cold War and American heroes of color.

When faced with a cancer diagnosis, navigating the maze of emotions and decisions can be overwhelming. In this inspiring and deeply personal memoir, Michael Handford - a professor of intercultural communication - shares his experience of a stage-4 throat cancer diagnosis at the age of 42 while living and working in Japan and the UK. Weaving together his professional insights and personal experiences, and through vivid storytelling, Handford examines how communication - whether with doctors, loved ones, or oneself - can shape the cancer experience.

This book is not just about surviving cancer but about reframing it as part of a quest for connection, resilience, and understanding. Poignant, and at times brutally funny, Lump in My Throat offers guidance, hope, and tools to navigate the toughest of times with dignity and strength.

"A tour de force of narrative reporting that examines how women are criminalized for actions they take to defend themselves or a loved one from violence, revealing a legal system that fails to protect them but never fails to punish them. Thirty percent of women serving time on murder and manslaughter charges in the U.S. are criminalized survivors: women who are arrested, prosecuted, and imprisoned for protecting themselves or a loved one from physical or sexual violence. When journalist Justine van der Leun set out to examine the phenomenon of criminalized survivors, she was met with silence, indifference, and a profound absence of data on the hundreds of thousands of women who have been forced into impossible choices and found themselves on the receiving end of the full force of the law. In Unreasonable Women, van der Leun sets out to tell the stories of these women, weaving together her own extensive on-the-ground research with the narratives of three criminalized survivors to examine how and why women are punished in America. In the lives of Tanisha, Jema, and TC, we see how the system fails survivors long before it punishes them and how familial, societal, and state violence replicate when early trauma is unacknowledged and untreated. Deeply researched and compellingly told, Unreasonable Women is a passionate call to action - and a forensic denunciation of a broken system that would rather condemn a woman to life behind bars than face up to its own failings"-- Provided by publisher.

A revealing, news driven account of the Trump Administration's mass deportation program, featuring never-before-told stories and behind-the-scenes reporting from NBC News' Senior Homeland Security Correspondent. In Undue Process, NBC's Senior Homeland Security correspondent Julia Ainsley takes us inside the Trump White House to expose how Stephen Miller, Kristi Noem, Tom Homan, and other virulently anti-immigration hardliners are executing the administration's mass deportation plan, seemingly prioritizing spectacle and punishment over security and legal constraints. Brimming with revelations from sources within ICE and the Department of Homeland Security, Undue Process is a harrowing chronicle of how the Trump administration aimed to create a process "like Amazon Prime, but with human beings"--only to construct a dehumanizing, chaotic system that will be challenged in the courts for years to come.

A Committee of One: How Faith + Action = A PurposeFULL Life is an inspirational memoir/self-help book from the Grandmother of Juneteenth that will be a testament to the transformative power of resilience, faith, and love. In 2016, then-90-year-old Opal Lee began her Opal Walks 2 DC campaign where she endeavored to walk 1,400 miles from Fort Worth, Texas to Washington, DC to bring awareness to the cause of making Juneteenth a federally recognized holiday. She was convinced that the country needed and wanted the unity that celebrating the abolition of slavery can bring. That it was bigger than Texas. Thankfully, on June 17, 2021, President Joseph Biden passed the bill making Juneteenth a National holiday and Ms. Opal stood alongside the president during this historic occasion, receiving the pen he used to sign off on the law. A Committee of One takes readers on a profound journey through Ms. Opal Lee's life by sharing stories that will reveal a life marked by resilience, faith, and unwavering determination. Drawing parallels to the beloved narrative style of Tuesdays with Morrie, A Committee of One will weave together personal anecdotes with timely wisdom and offer every reader inspiring nuggets for reflection. From the opening chapters, her narrative unfolds with the kind of raw honesty Ms. Opal is known for. She shares the challenges she's experienced (including the destruction of her childhood home by a white mob when she was twelve and the failure of her first marriage) as well as how those devastations allowed her the room to grow and become the woman she is today. All these stories are a testament to the indomitable human spirit, the fearlessness of our fortitude. The bottom-line goal in every chapter is to impart one significant and invaluable lesson: Adversity, though inevitable, need not define one's destiny. The heart of the story is Ms. Opal's steadfast commitment to hard work and perseverance. From balancing the demands of motherhood and education to securing career advancements to the activism that led her to be named "The Grandmother of Juneteenth," she's always tried to embody the transformative power of being steadfast. Because of this, A Committee of One is a powerful reminder that success is not measured by the absence of trials but by the willingness to confront and overcome them.

From international bestselling author and retired FBI special agent Joe Navarro--a guide to reading other people's body language and using your own to build and maintain lasting connections in an increasingly lonely and isolated world. As an FBI special agent focused on counterintelligence and behavioral assessment, Joe Navarro's ability to connect with people was never optional--it was essential. Victims needed to feel safe enough to open up, and suspects needed to trust him enough to tell the truth. With no time to slowly build rapport, Navarro mastered nonverbal communication: the language beneath words. The slightest gesture, a subtle shift in posture, and even fleeting eye contact became tools for creating trust and uncovering the truth. Connecting with others in our modern era can feel similarly daunting. In a world dominated by screens, remote work, and algorithm-driven dating, genuine human connection feels harder to come by than ever. Nevertheless, the need to bond, to belong, and to be understood remains as urgent as ever. In Connecting, Navarro distills decades of field experience and cutting-edge science into practical strategies anyone can use. This book offers clear, actionable advice for how to: Make a lasting first impression in interviews, meetings, and on dates Earn trust quickly and, most importantly, authentically Utilize proven techniques that few have mastered Recognize and defuse conflict before it escalates Strengthen personal and professional bonds that will endure Change the way you connect with others for a happier and longer life Backed by research and enriched with real-life stories, Connecting is more than a book on body language--it's a road map to stronger, healthier, and more meaningful relationships. Trusted by millions of readers worldwide, Joe Navarro delivers the ultimate guide to thriving in a world where true connection has never been more valuable.

Sketches, drawings, and scribbles from the private letters and notebooks of some of the greatest names in history--notable figures in art and literature, fashion and film--revealing that even the most influential minds have doodled their time away! From the first ever sketch of the Red Cross logo by its founder Clara Barton to a cartoon scrawled on a love letter from Charles Bukowski, the objects in this fascinating collection are a perfect reflection of the eclectic and storied cast of characters from whose archives they've been collected over the years. Organized alphabetically, with a range of influential names, from William Burroughs to Mark Twain, the book is a voyeur's treasure trove of the ephemeral, in which cultural icons reveal their own preoccupations, passions, plans, and distractions in the marginalia of their daily correspondence. A satirical sketch by Marc Chagall sits beside a quick self-portrait by Charlie Chaplin; a throwaway drawing on a dollar bill by Joan Miro follows the first ever idle iteration of Pippi Longstocking by Astrid Lindgren; and a hasty drawing by Andy Warhol precedes a sketch of Falstaff on a hotel notepad by Orson Welles. A treat for lovers of the analog in the digital age, and reproduced beautifully on uncoated paper to come as close as possible to the texture of the originals, Scrawl connects high and low, art and science, history and literature, youth and age, with the universal truth of doodling.

Elisabeth Elliot was a young missionary in Ecuador when members of a violent Amazonian tribe savagely speared her husband Jim and his four colleagues. Incredibly, prayerfully, Elisabeth took her toddler daughter, snakebite kit, Bible, and journal . . . and lived in the jungle with the Stone-Age people who killed her husband. Compelled by her friendship and forgiveness, many came to faith in Jesus. This courageous, no-nonsense Christian went on to write dozens of books, host a long-running radio show, and speak at conferences all over the world. She was a pillar of coherent, committed faith; a beloved and sometimes controversial icon. In this authorized biography, Becoming Elisabeth Elliot, bestselling author Ellen Vaughn uses Elisabeth's private, unpublished journals, and candid interviews with her family and friends, to paint the adventures and misadventures God used to shape one of the most influential women in modern church history. It's the story of a hilarious, sensual, brilliant, witty, self-deprecating, sensitive, radical, and surprisingly relatable person utterly submitted to doing God's will, no matter how high the cost. For Elisabeth, the central question was not, "How does this make me feel?" but, simply, "is this true?" If so, then the next question was, "what do I need to do about it to obey God?" "My life is on Thy Altar, Lord--for Thee to consume. Set the fire, Father! Bind me with cords of love to the Altar. Hold me there. Let me remember the Cross." -Elisabeth Elliot, age 21

Acclaimed journalist Randall Sullivan tells the story of baseball in America, from its rough-and-tumble origins through the first decades of the twentieth century and into the pivotal summer of 1933--when national crisis and a sport's fight for survival converged in baseball's first All-Star Game 1933. America was still reeling from the crash. Breadlines stretched around city blocks, and shantytowns sprawled in the shadows of skyscrapers. American optimism was fading--and baseball was in trouble, too. Owners slashed budgets, fans stayed home, and even the mighty Babe Ruth seemed to have lost some of his magic. The election of Franklin D. Roosevelt offered hope, but just days before his inauguration, five shots rang out--missing the president-elect, killing the mayor of Chicago, and setting in motion a chain of events that would eventually bring together the world's best ballplayers for the first All-Star Game. It was a newspaperman's idea: The Game of the Century. Put the world's best players on one field and let the public decide who belonged there. At a moment when some feared the national pastime would not survive the decade, Chicago would host the ballgame as the highlight of the 1933 World's Fair. The city hoped to shed its reputation as a haven for gamblers and gangsters and help restore America's standing on the world stage. But abroad, dark clouds were gathering. Hitler was Germany's new chancellor, and Mussolini had consolidated his power. As visitors strolled the fairgrounds, Italian warplanes flew overhead, and a zeppelin sent by the German delegation circled the city emblazoned with a swastika. The First All-Star Game is the story of a nation and a sport at a crossroads, and a sweeping look back at baseball's early history and the America that shaped it. Deeply researched and filled with remarkable characters--legendary players like Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, and Lefty Grove rubbing shoulders with Bonnie and Clyde, Al Capone, and Charles Lindbergh--Randall Sullivan explores the history of an American obsession and captures the moment when both the sport and the nation found renewal in a single spectacle of hope.

With a foreword from ParentData's Emily Oster Take charge of your hormonal health at every stage of your life--from your first period to post menopause--with this groundbreaking, definitive guide from the force behind the viral Hot Flash Substack. From our mood to our metabolism, hormones are running the show behind nearly every bodily function. They tell our hearts how quickly to beat, our gut how to process the food we eat, our bones to release calcium, and our muscles to grow new fibers. Yet, most of us don't fully understand how our bodies and its systems work--and more importantly, what to do when they don't. Enter renowned endocrinologist Dr. Gillian Goddard, who knows firsthand how urgently women need clear, accessible information about their hormonal health. Drawing from years of clinical experience, she presents a definitive and engaging guide to hormonal health at every stage of a woman's life--from puberty to reproductive years to perimenopause to menopause to post menopause. As Dr. Goddard clearly explains, at each of these stages, there are four distinct hormone loops that keep our bodies in balance: the reproductive loop, the thyroid loop, the growth hormone loop, and the adrenal loop. While these loops often operate quietly in the background, each plays a powerful role in our lifelong health. There is no one-size-fits-all solution to the challenges and changes our bodies experience throughout our lives. But hormones often hold the key. Weaving stories from her practice with the latest medical research and featuring helpful charts and illustrations, Dr. Goddard breaks down the problems that commonly arise throughout our lives and offers a clear rubric for how to have better conversations with our doctors. Necessary and long overdue, The Hormone Loop equips us with the knowledge and confidence to become our own powerful, self-advocates.

From the pre-eminent WWII historian, an ardent chronicle of the unprecedented and far-sighted U.S. postwar decision to aid its enemies as well as its allies via the Marshall Plan, which led to eight decades of peace and prosperity in the West that could be upended in an "America First" environment On March 12, 1947, less than two years after the end of World War II, President Harry S. Truman gave a seminal speech before Congress, in response to a European crisis: Greece was facing economic collapse and encroaching Soviet ambition, and Truman felt the U.S. had to give financial aid to a free people resisting attempted subjugation, which, he emphasized, would promote "economic stability and orderly political processes." The U.S. was the richest nation in the world, but Truman believed that shared prosperity among the democracies would make them politically more stable and long-term peace much more likely. His momentous proposition that the U.S. bail out Greece led in turn to the unprecedented and radical Marshall Plan itself: the decision to aid not only U.S. allies but--for the first time in history--our former enemies as they all rebuilt from the ruins of the calamitous war. Indeed, with this aid Germany and Japan became economic powerhouses and, with most of Europe, staunch allies of the U.S.--and almost eighty years on the benefits of this extraordinary decision are still being felt. James Holland's deep knowledge of WWII gives him unique insight and appreciation for its historic aftermath. In tight and vivid prose, The Visionaries chronicles the prelude to the Marshall Plan--from Franklin Roosevelt's historic "four freedoms" speech and "Good Neighbor Policy" towards Central and South America to the landmark Bretton Woods Conference of July 1944, which established the International Monetary Fund and World Bank, pillars of world stability. But it was Truman who pushed for the Marshall Plan, which in 1948 kickstarted via economic assistance the fastest period of growth in European history. Its low-tariff environment encouraged trade and brought prosperity and longstanding peace throughout most of Europe and the Americas, including in the United States. However, Holland warns that we in the West have become complacent, less willing to safeguard the freedoms that extended prosperity has allowed; and he makes clear the remarkably far-sighted decisions made in the wake of WWII stand in stark contrast to our transactional approach to the world today.

The riveting story of the ring of spies known as the Cambridge Five, who infiltrated the highest levels of the British establishment and helped Stalin cement a half century of Soviet domination over Eastern Europe The Cambridge Five was the most infamous spy ring in history. Its members--Kim Philby, Anthony Blunt, Donald Maclean, Guy Burgess, and John Cairncross--met at university, amid the left-wing ferment overtaking British campuses between the World Wars. The Five were soon recruited by Soviet agents and pledged allegiance to Stalin, and each quickly took up a place in the British government. From the 1930s, they funneled top-secret intelligence to the USSR, some so sensitive that their Soviet handlers feared a double cross. Their unmasking in 1951 rocked Britain, helping to end a chummy, boys' club stranglehold on the country's institutions of power. But, as Antonia Senior shows, the Five's treachery had much graver and more devastating consequences across the world. Their work invaluably aided Stalin as he sought to build a Red Empire, condemning millions across Eastern Europe to decades of repression, violence, and death. Rife with code names, smuggled documents, clandestine rendezvous, and copious amounts of gin, Stalin's Apostles wields impeccable research and storytelling and all the thrilling details and high tragedy of a classic spy thriller.

Known as a Renaissance man, Thomas Jefferson across the span of his life excelled in a variety of fields, from politics to architecture to historical linguistics. Here he is depicted in his domestic role as the father of six White children (two of whom lived to adulthood); the grandfather of twelve White grandchildren; and the father of five Black children by Sally Hemings (four of whom lived to adulthood). In 1782, Jefferson's wife Martha Skelton Wayles died. Following her death, he attempted to perform both parental roles for his two surviving daughters. For more than three decades Jefferson developed an extraordinarily close relationship with his grandchildren. Participating intimately in every aspect of their childhood, he played games with them and gave life advice by engaging them in deep conversation and revealing correspondence through the exchange of hundreds of letters. Unfortunately, this rich record of written evidence does not exist for his shadow Black family.

Rediscover the Revolutionary War as a global fight for freedom What does Bunker Hill have in common with a jungle in Central America, a fort in India, and the towering Rock of Gibraltar?

At a Fourth of July party in Spain, he helps the descendent of Spanish leaders make a giant paella. In India, he investigates one of the most surprising victories of the entire war.

Along the way, he meets historians, reenactors, and others who have helped keep the hidden history of the war alive. This is the other half of the story of the American Revolution, the one you probably didn't learn in school. With his trademark humor and empathy, Baxter finds the human stories behind this long-ago conflict, expanding the universe of those who contributed to the cause. He delivers a powerful message: The United States only exists because peoples of different races, languages, and religions learned how to fight together, writing an unexpected story of independence that continues to resonate and inspire today.

The creator of the hit podcast Tides of History offers a new look at humanity's deep past, showing us how our world was built not by inevitability, but by trial and error on a global scale. There's a familiar story about us humans: we went from hunting and gathering to farming, wandering bands to villages and cities, clans and chieftains to states and kings. But Lost Worlds offers a new narrative of humanity's deep history. Here beloved podcast host Patrick Wyman focuses on the 10,000-year span between the end of the Ice Age and the decline of the Bronze Age--the period when civilization as we understand it emerged, introducing social hierarchies, urbanism, complex political organizations, and the written word. But instead of being an arc of progress, this period of immense change was not linear; it was littered with fits and false starts, failures, disasters, and the complete collapse of complex societies. With the recent explosion in available archaeological evidence, including ancient human DNA, we can now understand long-past people in unprecedented detail. By focusing on lost worlds of individuals and societies, we see that to be human is to try and fail. But it is also to endure. In this nuanced retelling, human progress is no longer a straight march from caves to cities: Farming didn't always replace foraging, villages didn't automatically spark agriculture, and cities didn't necessitate rigid hierarchies. For thousands of years, humans merely improvised. By the end of the Bronze Age, the world had become unrecognizable: mammoths and giant sloths replaced by cattle and sheep, scattered nomadic bands replaced by millions living in cities, and farming on nearly every continent. Wyman argues that the rise of states and steady food production wasn't inevitable, but rather, the outcome of countless choices that reshaped the planet and made us who we are today. Sweeping, accessible, and filled with colorful detail, Lost Worlds is the story of how humanity built the world we live in--not by destiny, but by experiment.

The long-awaited memoir from country music legend, Clint Black--a raw, intimate, and unflinching story that traces his rise from struggling songwriter to chart-topping superstar and enduring music legend. Over twenty million records sold. Twenty-two number one career singles. 31 top ten singles. Nearly two dozen gold and platinum awards. Countless CMA and ACM awards. A Grammy Award. A star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. When it comes to modern music, few artists have had a bigger or more lasting impact than Clint Black. Since bursting onto the country music scene in 1989 with Killin' Time--the triple-platinum debut that delivered five consecutive number one singles--Black has built a genre-defining career spanning nearly four decades. Having written the soundtrack of a generation, Clint now puts pen to paper to write, for the first time, the story of the man behind the music. In his long-awaited memoir, Black shares the unfiltered, extraordinary account of his journey from a kid with a dream on the outskirts of Houston to a country music legend. From his near-death experiences as a young boy, to his decision to drop out of high school to pursue music, to countless years struggling as an unknown young artist, playing at any nightclub or hotel bar that would have him, Black's path to success had more twists than the Texas two-step. Once fame hit and the stakes got higher, Black didn't let the pressure of big crowds, big money, or big labels steer him off course. By writing from the heart and sticking to his guns, he built a legacy on his own terms. These values proved to be Black's north star navigating superstardom, including a difficult lawsuit against his ex-manager, Bill Ham; subsequently founding his own record label; recording with heroes such as Jimmy Buffett, Merle Haggard, and Eric Idle; his whirlwind romance and everlasting marriage with actress Lisa Hartman Black; and most recently, a critical issue with a cervical spine injury, which threatened the very thing that made him a star: his voice. With vivid, deeply personal stories--all told with Black's signature charm--he recounts how his steadfast dedication to his beliefs and his passion for music led him to success after success, and through storm after storm. For longtime fans and newcomers alike, Killin' Time is a revelatory and rare glimpse of the iconic life and career of a once in a generation talent. Killin' Time includes a 16-page color photo insert.
