An "unsparing, erudite, and incisive" (Jelani Cobb, staff writer, The New Yorker) reframing of the past and present of Black resistance--both nonviolent and violent--to white supremacy

Named a Best Book of 2024 by Smithsonian * Kirkus * Chicago Review of Books * Emancipator

Black resistance to white supremacy is often reduced to a simple binary, between Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s nonviolence and Malcolm X's "by any means necessary." In We Refuse, historian Kellie Carter Jackson looks beyond this false choice, offering an unflinching examination of the breadth of Black responses to white oppression, particularly those pioneered by Black women.  
 
The dismissal of "Black violence" as an illegitimate form of resistance is itself a manifestation of white supremacy. Force--from work stoppages and property destruction to armed revolt--has played a pivotal part in securing freedom and justice for Black people for centuries. But force is only one tool among many. Carter Jackson examines other, no less vital tactics that have shaped the Black struggle, from the restorative power of finding joy in the face of suffering to the quiet strength of simply walking away.

NONFICTION BOOK AWARDS WINNER 2025 -- Bronze Award

"What sets this memoir apart is its masterful interweaving of the personal and the political. Vang doesn't just share recipes; she reveals how food becomes a lifeline for displaced communities. Her mother's kitchen wisdom-emphasizing simplicity, seasonality, and connection to the earth-stands in stark contrast to the processed abundance of American supermarkets. Through this lens, we witness how Hmong refugees navigated their new world while holding on to their cultural essence." -Nonfiction Book Awards

Yia grew up with a traditional mother who wanted her to marry, raise a family, tend a garden, and cook Hmong food. Yia wanted freedom. The two had little in common, except their opposition to each other.

In a seemingly ordinary moment in Mom's kitchen, Yia had a sudden awakening. She watched her mother move from pot to pot with the instinctive grace of a symphony conductor, knowing exactly how to bring out the best in every ingredient. As these moments repeated, they grew closer. Mom began to reveal her life, and with each meal prepared and memory shared, Yia's roots started to take shape in the family history she never knew.

In this epic mother-daughter love story, their parallel lives merge as each becomes the nutrient the other needs to navigate life's trials and guide one another back home. When Yia truly looked at her mother, she finally saw her for who she was: daughter, wife, mother, warrior, survivor, woman, Hmong.

"A profound journey of re-embodiment, of being freshly-rooted into the fabric of this time and place...An evocative, poignant, touching story."

-Edward Espe Brown, author of The Tassajara Bread Book

"A moving and satiating memoir rich with food, family, tradition, and most undeniably, love. This book will make you hungry and feed you all at once."

-Nicole Treska, author of Wonderland: A Tale of Hustling Hard and Breaking Even

"Yia Vang's memoir reminds us of how much we can learn about our families, and our cultures, through cooking. Reading it, you often feel like you're right in the kitchen, which is where I always want to be! You'll walk away with a better understanding of not just Hmong cuisine but of how food can shape a whole family."

-Wylie Dufresne, James Beard Award Winner and author of wd 50: The Cookbook

This is perfect for lovers of The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down and Crying in the H Mart. Mother-daughter relationships are rough country, but this author's discovery of her mother's extraordinary story in midlife offers nothing but hope. Connection is always possible.

-Beth Wareham, author of Hair Club Burning and The Power of No

Graphic novel based on the bestselling book Raising Dragons. This book brings to life in 150 pages of colorful illustrations the beloved fantasy novel by Bryan Davis.

The story of how an Italian American housewife and community organizer battled a Brooklyn Mafia boss and political activist for the hearts and minds of a white working class in revolt.

Finalist for the 2025 Foreword INDIES Book of the Year Award in the Biography category

This is the true story of a rivalry between a pair of improbable social justice crusaders--Mary Sansone, an Italian homemaker, and Joe Colombo, a Mafia boss--set against the backdrop of Brooklyn's racial and ethnic feuds of the 1960s and 1970s. From her basement kitchen, Mary Sansone launched the Congress of Italian American Organizations, a social-action coalition operating multimillion-dollar programs on behalf of the Italian poor. From his office suite high above Madison Avenue, Joe Colombo defied omertà to commandeer the Italian American Civil Rights League, an audacious anti-defamation organization that convinced thousands to join sidewalk pickets and mass demonstrations. When, around 1970, Mary and Joe's paths finally cross, they battle each other for the hearts and minds of a white working class in revolt. This book challenges stereotypes of the docile Italian wife and the parochial Mafioso by recasting these actors as a rebel girl and a renegade wiseguy. It offers an alternative history of the 1960s and 1970s, when it was presumed that white ethnics living in urban America were predisposed to responding to the civil rights movement with backlash and the women's movement with scorn.

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

"Evil is a completely different creature, Mac. Evil is bad that believes it's good."

MacKayla Lane was just a child when she and her sister, Alina, were given up for adoption and banished from Ireland forever.

Twenty years later, Alina is dead and Mac has returned to the country that expelled them to hunt her sister's murderer. But after discovering that she descends from a bloodline both gifted and cursed, Mac is plunged into a secret history: an ancient conflict between humans and immortals who have lived concealed among us for thousands of years.

What follows is a shocking chain of events with devastating consequences, and now Mac struggles to cope with grief while continuing her mission to acquire and control the Sinsar Dubh--a book of dark, forbidden magic scribed by the mythical Unseelie King, containing the power to create and destroy worlds.

In an epic battle between humans and Fae, the hunter becomes the hunted when the Sinsar Dubh turns on Mac and begins mowing a deadly path through those she loves.
Who can she turn to? Who can she trust? Who is the woman haunting her dreams? More important, who is Mac herself and what is the destiny she glimpses in the black and crimson designs of an ancient tarot card?

From the luxury of the Lord Master's penthouse to the sordid depths of an Unseelie nightclub, from the bed of her lover to the terrifying bed of the Unseelie King, Mac's journey will force her to face the truth of her exile, and to make a choice that will either save the world . . . or destroy it.

How to build applications where multiple AI agents reliably collaborate to solve new types of complex tasks.

In Designing Multi-Agent Systems, you'll take a first principles approach to learn to design and implement reliable, agentic applications from scratch, understand why their architectures work, and master patterns for collaboration, observability, interruptibility, and trust. These principles remain useful as the ecosystem evolves, giving you the tools to build scalable, robust, and human-centered agentic systems, whether in research or production.

Inside, you'll explore:

• Multi-Agent Fundamentals - Core concepts and design patterns for multi-agent collaboration
• Build from Scratch - Step-by-step guidance for implementing agents, tools, as well as deterministic workflows and autonomous orchestration patterns.
• Evaluation & Reliability - Learn trajectory-based testing, structured outputs, observability, and performance metrics to ensure agents behave predictably.
• UX and Trust Principles - Apply human-centered design principles like interruptibility, capability discovery, and transparent decision-making to build agents users can rely on.
• Distributed Agent Protocols - Learn how protocols like MCP and A2A build enable distributed multi-agent systems that operate across networks, regions, and organizations.

Rather than teaching specific frameworks, this book gives you the mental models and first-principles reasoning through implementing a feature complete picoagents library with the same foundational concepts that power today's most capable multi-agent frameworks - from AutoGen and LangGraph to CrewAI and beyond. You'll come away able to design agentic systems that remain robust and useful as the ecosystem evolves.

Praise for the Book

"As a researcher at Microsoft who is close to the leading edge of Agentic capabilities, works with Microsoft customers on real world applications, and with the Autogen team on building the agent framework, Victor has a unique vantage point.

Together they hope that the combination of images and text will point the way to knowing the universal essence that lives within and unites us all.

To escape a ruthless gang leader's obsession, a strong-willed Southern stunner is forced to play a deadly game among New Orleans's darkest, most seductive streets.

Obsession is a game two can play--but only one can win . . .

For fiercely independent Sincere Watkins, her stunning beauty is an obstacle to be overcome. Growing up in New Orleans' most dangerous neighborhood, she caught the eye of Lorde, leader of the ruthless local gang, The Saints. Despite Lorde's unstoppable obsession with her, Sincere is making a life for herself. She won't let him stand in her way--even after he takes out someone she cares for. Sincere just focuses on fulfilling her dreams--and holds love at a distance to keep others safe . . .

But when Lorde upends Sincere's world irrevocably, she evades his every merciless move with strength, savvy, and resilience she never knew she had. And their battle of wills becomes all-out war when Lorde's
second-in-command, Supreme, falls hard for Sincere's dignity and determination . . .

Now she will work every angle by igniting long-buried resentments and lethal rivalries among The Saints. For in the Dirty South, where grudges run deep and life is short, power lies in how you seize it. And Sincere will pay any price, rack up any cost to get revenge--and all she deserves. Even if all that's left is heartbreak--and smoking ash . . .

When the robe becomes a weapon, who can stop the violence?

We think of Buddhism as a faith of peace-rooted in compassion, patience, and nonviolence. But across South and Southeast Asia today, the robe is being turned into a weapon as radical monks and nationalist movements unleash hatred and war.

In The Robe and the Sword, acclaimed journalist Sonia Faleiro travels from Sri Lanka's riot-scarred towns to the homes of refugees along the Myanmar border to Thailand's fortified temples, uncovering how militant monks have transformed a tradition of nonviolence into a tool of terror. She reveals how Sri Lanka's Galagoda Aththe Gnanasara incited mobs against Muslims, how Myanmar's Ashin Wirathu helped ignite a genocide, and how elements of Thailand's clergy have entrenched military rule.

Through vivid portraits of zealots, survivors, and dissident monks fighting to reclaim their faith, Faleiro delivers an unflinching investigation into the colonial trauma, economic grievances, and political forces fueling a dangerous new extremism. The Robe and the Sword is a searing and indispensable work of narrative nonfiction, urgently needed to understand how sacred traditions are being weaponized--and what is at stake for the future of our interconnected world.

The second standalone romantic fantasy set in the world of the USA Today bestselling novel The Second Death of Locke.

A ruthless spy. A deadly mission. A thief who could ruin it all.

Nore Gordon is a woman of many talents: she can speak a variety of languages, disguise herself in plain sight, and has made a name for herself as a successful wine merchant. But unbeknownst to those closest to her, it is all a front for Nore's true role as the favoured spy of the Lindle crown.

Tasked with infiltrating enemy lands in search of a powerful relic, Nore is forced to engage the services of a great thief. Unfortunately, the only person for the job is her estranged husband Caspian. Both Nore and Caspian bear the scars of the disastrous end of their marriage, but if they are to survive their deadly new assignment, they must pose as a happily married couple to avoid detection.

As danger closes in, Nore finds herself tangled in a web of lies and deceit-and though Caspian is at the centre of it all, she may not hate him as much as she once did. But Caspian has betrayed her before, and trust can be far more deadly than deception.

Jess Lockhart thought she'd fought her hardest battle when she beat a rare form of lymphoma. But months into remission, it's fear of the unknown-especially of cancer's return-that's stealing her future. Once an aspiring fashion designer, she's lost her drive to create and now spends her days working at her father's hardware store in rural Trulee, Alabama.

When a young botanist rents the barn-loft apartment on her family's property, Jess thinks she's finally found something to take her mind off her mortality. Not only is Silas Haney strikingly handsome, but he's irresistibly mysterious. His cryptic remarks and odd behavior suggest he's hiding something. Then an accident exposes his secret: Silas once drank from a spring that made him immortal. Now he's searching for the spring once more, hoping the tree that legend says grows from it can reverse the eternal youth he now sees as a curse. And that spring lies hidden in the woods behind her house.

Convinced the spring is the answer to her problems, Jess blackmails Silas into taking her along on his quest. But as forced companionship turns into affection, Jess begins to question whether escaping the fear of death is the same as truly living. When a crisis arises, Jess must decide: Will she trust God with her future or scoop destiny into her own hands?
