Meet Nadia Davis, a doting mom and loving wife who has a big secret: she's actually an assassin. And she really needs a babysitter who shows up on time.

Nadia Davis is living the dream as a successful working mom with a career she loves, two adorable little girls, and a devoted husband who has no idea that she's secretly a hired assassin and psychopath who kills certified bad guys. So when Nadia finds out she's been "mommy tracked" by her assassin's agency and is no longer getting the bigger, more exciting jobs, she demands an important mark...somebody worth killing.

But it turns out that big kill is the last person she expects--her husband. How is the sweet, kind, teller-of-dad jokes she's promised her life to an evil villain who needs exterminating? Has their whole life together been a lie? Now Nadia must choose between the two things she loves most in life, the career that keeps her sane or the family she thought she knew.

From New York Times bestselling author Sarah Wilson comes a deeply moving, wise guide to finding joy and meaning in a world that seems to be falling apart

It's hard to escape the feeling that something is deeply wrong . . . that life has become precariously off-balance. We are hit hourly with headlines about catastrophic wildfires, unprecedented flooding, record heat waves, collapsing democracies, AI and nuclear threat, rising economic inequality, widespread unrest, and more. In I Eat the Stars, Sarah Wilson argues we are undergoing what every complex civilization before us has--systemic collapse.

So how do we continue to live as sensitive humans amidst such a tumultuous shift? What does life look like when the systems we rely on deteriorate? Should we be having kids? How do we make financial decisions? Should we be prepping? And, most importantly, how do we avoid succumbing to doom and despair?

In I Eat the Stars, Sarah Wilson delves into these pressing questions. Drawing on many years of research and wisdom gained from more than 200 conversations with philosophers, poets, game theorists, and spiritual leaders, Wilson takes readers on an intimate journey as she lays out a path for living fully, meaningfully, and beautifully through these troubled times. Our predicament, she argues, is ultimately an urgent call to us all to relish what is valuable to us--to eat the stars--and to return to our humanity once again.

I Eat the Stars empowers readers to move beyond panic, doom, and despair. With her warm, incisively intelligent, wise, and down-to-earth voice, Wilson creates a space for readers to confront their fears and anxieties about an uncertain future, guiding them toward one rooted in truth, hope, justice, creativity, community, and to step up as "warriors" and meet the moment.

An in-depth exploration of history of the US Capitol building and the incredible personalities who built it, full of dramatic stories, surprising facts, and offering a powerful testament to what the Capitol has meant to generations of Americans, and how it's endured.

The Capitol is a unique biography of a place, encompassing architecture, history, politics, popular culture, and race in a fascinating exploration of our Capitol's secret history; a history rife with political intrigue, assassination attempts, thwarted bombings, and gunmen on the run. Never mind ghostly cat prints, mysteriously bloodstained steps, and charming "fairy doors" that have delighted visitors for hundreds of years.

Spanning across three centuries of American history, it focuses on iconic and easily recognizable names and personalities from the past--from George Washington to Davy Crockett to Ronald Reagan--as well as countless colorful characters readers may not have heard of before, with a focus on restoring the stories of enslaved people and recognizing their contributions.

The story of the Capitol is the story of America itself, and, for the first time, that story will be told in this sweeping, aspirational biography of the building at the very heart of the American experiment.

From the New York Times bestselling author of The Jetsetters comes a witty and wonderful new novel about one unforgettable family and the journeys we take--across oceans and through heartbreak--to find our way back to love.

The Perkins family has problems. They're scattered across the globe. Lee, a glamorous reality-TV star, is struggling with her mental health in the spotlight. Reagan, her younger sister, has fallen for a romance scammer. Cord, their charming brother, is one drink away from losing it all. And their mother, Charlotte, still longs for the love she let slip away a decade ago, a lover who sailed off with her heart to a remote island in Greece.

When Reagan disappears, Lee flies first-class to Athens to save her family--again. There, against the glittering Mediterranean and the shadow of the Acropolis, Lee contends with emotional nieces, relentless paparazzi, and her own fragile heart. Lee is desperately searching--for her sister, and for the hope and joy she thought was gone forever.

Across continents and crises, each member of the Perkins family must face the same question: is it ever too late to choose love?

Featuring characters from Ward's bestselling novel The Jetsetters, Arrivals and Departures is brimming with humor, honesty, and hope. It's the story of a family finding the courage to say the only words that can save us--I love you.

From the bestselling author of Fresh Off the Boat comes a subversively funny and surprisingly moving rom-com about a haunted manchild's twisted search for love.

Hubie lives an exciting life. He hosts a traveling food show, works with his best friend, and samples the best the world has to offer. There's only one problem: his love life. Hubie treats his romantic partners as courses on a tasting menu. His one rule when it comes to love: three months and it's over. Hubie is no hubby.

Then he meets Anastasia, a mysterious woman who seems to share his approach to life--she wants fun, sex, and the freedom to depart before dawn. They have chance encounters in glamorous locations around the world--a luxury spa in the Utah desert, a cliffside hideaway in Jamaica, exclusive Los Angeles parties--where they party and flirt with electric energy, but are always with other partners. When they finally connect, the chemistry is undeniable. Just as they find a way to be together, the specters of their pasts--the secrets and burdens beneath their carefree exteriors--arise to threaten everything. Will they be able to accept each other fully when they know the full truth? Can they shake off shame, regret, and emotional baggage to free themselves to love?

Sharply comic but with hidden depths, Come Undone is about how we run from love and how it hunts us down.

"Come for the satirical millennial cringe and over-the-top luxury lifestyle fantasy, stay for the surprisingly sensitive portrayal of a bombastic, bighearted Asian American dudebro who risks it all for a chance at the real thing: true love! Exuberantly horny and--believe it or not--absolutely romantic."--Jean Chen Ho, author of Fiona and Jane

UN HOMBRE. TRES MUNDOS. EL PRECIO DE LA GLORIA NUNCA FUE TAN ALTO.

Tras el éxito imparable de Roma soy yo y Maldita Roma, continúa el gran proyecto literario de Santiago Posteguillo con su novela más esperada: la conquista de las Galias por Julio César, narrada por el escritor que mejor nos hace vivir la Historia.

En el 58 a. C., Roma, la Galia y Egipto eran tres mundos distintos que, sin saberlo, iban camino de un único destino...

Si en Roma soy yo conocíamos los orígenes de Julio César y en Maldita Roma asistíamos a su ascenso político, ahora César se enfrenta a uno de los mayores desafíos históricos de todos los tiempos: la conquista de las Galias, un territorio siempre hostil a Roma, vasto, inmenso y, a ojos de los enemigos de César, un lugar inconquistable destinado a ser su tumba.

Con una rigurosa documentación y un ritmo soberbio vivimos el sufrimiento y la épica de la guerra de las Galias, pero también presenciamos la lucha política fratricida en Roma y viajamos al exilio con el faraón Tolomeo XII, expulsado de Egipto en compañía de su hija, la joven y mítica Cleopatra.

La Galia, Roma y Egipto, una colisión inexorable de tres mundos legendarios en la que culmina la Trilogía del Ascenso, el primer ciclo de la serie sobre Julio César.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

ONE MAN. THREE WORLDS. THE PRICE FOR GLORY HAS NEVER BEEN HIGHER.

After the unstoppable success of I Am Rome and Accursed Rome, Santiago Posteguillo's great literary project continues with his most awaited novel: the conquest of Gaul by Julius Caesar, narrated by a writer who makes us live History better than anyone.

In 58 B.C.E., Rome, Gaul, and Egypt were three different worlds that, unknowingly, would meet the same fate...

In I Am Rome we learned the origins of Julius Caesar, and in Accursed Rome we witnessed his political ascent, now Caesar faces one of the greatest historic challenges of all time: conquering Gaul, a territory forever hostile to Rome, vast, immense, and in the eyes of Caesar's enemies, an unconquerable place destined to be his tomb.

With rigorous documentation and a superb rhythm, we experience the epic suffering of the Gallic Wars, but also witness the political struggles in Rome, and go into exile with Pharoah Ptolemy XII, cast out of Egypt in the company of his daughter, the young and mythical Cleopatra.

Gaul, Rome, and Egypt, an inexorable collision of three legendary worlds that closes the "Trilogy of the Ascent," the first part of this Julius Caesar series.

From the essential chronicler of the world economy, a portrait of the Great Powers in transition.

The world's two great economic powers are on opposite trajectories. In the United States, decades of neoliberal policies produced a small class of rich elites and gutted the middle class. In China, the same global forces have created a massive new upper class. The result is the greatest reshuffling of global incomes since the Industrial Revolution--a dramatic shakeup of each country's political order. As the two powers retreat from one another, the implications for their futures, and for the world economy, are uncertain.

In The Great Global Transformation, acclaimed economist Branko Milanovic draws on original research to chart how these seismic shifts will shape the next century of the global economy. As both the US and China retreat into protectionism, Milanovic shows how a new and multipolar world order will follow--and how rising nationalism will have dramatically different effects on the two countries. And he shows us the fight ahead: as plutocracy returns, global war threatens, and a new system silently shapes our nations, driving populist discontent to the breaking point.

A worthy successor to Capitalism, Alone and his other landmark works, Milanovic's new book announces the arrival of a new era he terms "national market liberalism," in which liberalism survives in domestic economies, but not necessarily in the social arena. The Great Global Transformation is Milanovic's indispensable account of the new twenty-first century now underway.
