Readers will flock to New York Times bestselling author Donna Andrews's next installment in the award-winning Meg Langslow series.

Meg has finally found time to get some blacksmithing done when a call from her dad interrupts her--can she come out to Ragnar's right away to help with the horses? Their friend Ragnar Ragnarsen, who is gradually turning the enormous house on his nearby estate into an authentic moated castle, has agreed to shelter nearly fifty horses for Hoof and Hearth, an equine rescue organization that has lost access to the farm where the horses have been living. The owner of the farm recently died without leaving a will, and while his older son Abel would be happy to let the horses stay, younger brother George wants to sell to a developer . . . and is suspected of sending a thug to harm the horses as part of his efforts to evict Hoof and Hearth.

That night, while Meg and her family are camping at one of Ragnar's barns, to keep an eye on the horses, they discover that the thug has been murdered. Unfortunately George is alibied . . . but his horse-loving brother Abel is not. Neither are the hot-tempered founder of Hoof and Hearth or the passionately protective ex-jockey who serves as its stablemaster. Meg juggles helping keep the horses safe and doing what she can to help the chief solve the thug's murder . . . all the while hoping that the killer won't turn out to be one of the dedicated horse rescuers she has come to like and respect.

From New York Times bestselling author K.M. Moronova comes the stunning conclusion of her delicious arranged-marriage romantasy duology.

A probing essay collection that chronicles one woman's complicated quest to find home in a fractured America, from the award-winning author of Field Study

"In Chet'la Sebree's sensitive and tender hands, this book's quest (and question) of home is captivating. An intimate rendering of the life of a Black woman artist."--Imani Perry, National Book Award winner and author of Black in Blues

At eighteen, Chet'la Sebree began, as she writes, "perfecting the art of leaving." After moving out of her parents' house in Delaware for college, the lauded poet, essayist, and academic rarely kept the same address for more than two years--bouncing from city to city, country to country, perpetually in search of her next adventure.

For Sebree, traveling has been a life-long passion, forged during family road trips and vacations with friends; college study abroad programs in Europe; and far-flung writing residencies and job opportunities. She dreamed of one day taking her own Great American Road Trip, Jack Kerouac-style--except refashioned as a millennial Black woman who had also begun considering her next chapter: settling down and starting a solo fertility journey.

During the pandemic, Sebree thought she might finally get her chance to hit the road. But then, George Floyd was murdered, following the killings of Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Aubrey, and so many others. As America continued to reveal its most violent self, Sebree started to wrestle with the very idea of home: Where do I belong in a country not meant for people like me to survive? What does this mean for a child I might bring into it?

In Turn (W)here, Sebree turns to the page for answers, seamlessly weaving memoir with history and cultural criticism in a collection of inventive essays bound by themes of movement, home, inheritance, and belonging. Spanning continents, geographies, and states of mind, Sebree lights a pathway for the wanderer, the seeker--anyone propelled into the unknown by the desire for a place to truly belong.

A tender, moving, and insightful account of queer motherhood and an interrogation of life on the margins of American culture as a self-described "ugly" woman

"A rigorous ladyballs-out polemic that also tells the most raw, tender, against-all-odds story of parenthood that I've ever read." --Mary Gaitskill, author of Veronica

Ugly is a word with fangs that can kill a woman's self-esteem in one bite. Edicts about how women should look, behave, and think are the brutal forge through which they are made -- not born -- as Simone de Beauvoir famously argued in The Second Sex. And to defy the pretty imperative is to experience a kind of invisibility. It can be a hard thing to admit to yourself, let alone to your child, to say the words "I am ugly" or "I am seen as ugly." But early on in her motherhood journey, watching her young daughter begin to wrestle with beauty standards, Stephanie Fairyington felt compelled to face her own demons and to unpack her own ugly self-perception, one that she could trace to her own childhood, in order to conquer this seemingly immoveable frontier, far too taboo even among women to broach: the ways in which women's lives are unfairly contoured by the nature of their looks.

The multiple iterations of ugliness that Fairyington saw in her young self--her physical appearance, her formative gender dissonance, and obvious lesbianism--are not present in her beautiful and traditionally feminine daughter. But Fairyington's old feelings of inadequacy take on new meaning as she confronts fresh insecurities around her role as the nonbiological mother in her relationship, exacerbating wounds from a lifetime of being treated differently, from the poverty of her genetic inheritance to questions about her parentage to doubts about the legitimacy of her family.

Interlacing cultural history and analysis with memoir, Ugly is a probing investigation into cultural norms and the formation of our aesthetic sense of self. Fairyington contrasts her so-called ugliness with her daughter's attractiveness and adherence to beauty ideals, a tender and tenuous condition that her daughter was already walking a tightrope to maintain at age six. By sharing the history of her troubled self-image, Fairyington invites us to go rogue, to invent a new language and logic to overthrow all the ways that women have been cultivated to hate themselves.

In this ambitious and groundbreaking history of the dollar, financial journalist and economic scholar Brendan Greeley makes a new argument about the origins of our money--and the people and nations who have surrendered to it.

"Brimming with startling details, this is also serious financial history with a conclusion ripe for our unsettled times: Rulers and borders come and go, but the dollar has outlasted our illusions of sovereignty and control."--Evan Osnos, author of The Haves and Have-Yachts

America's money is global money--nearly every nation in the world writes international contracts in dollars, and in 2023, central banks around the world held nearly $6.7 trillion in dollar reserves, three times any other currency. Today, the United States' global hegemony rests largely on its ability to produce unlimited treasury bonds that are sold around the world, dollars that supported America's explosive growth in the twentieth century and funded its massive wars in the twenty-first. American power and the American dollar have become synonymous.

Yet in this brilliant 500-year history, Brendan Greeley argues that America's sovereignty over the dollar is an illusion--that the dollar had already empowered and destroyed nations long before it washed up on colonial shores, and that no country or king has or can ever truly control it. Reaching back to the dollar's birth as the taler in the 15th-century silver mines of St. Joachimsthal, Greeley reveals how the dollar first thrived as a commodity for merchants and bankers--a big, silver coin that was trusted around the world, even as the miners who pulled it from the ground had trouble getting paid in that same silver. Greeley traces a captivatingly complex path across time and place, from the industrial collapse at the heart of Spain's 17th-century silver empire, to the birth of American paper dollars in colonial Maryland, 19th-century New Orleans bank failures, and the small town of Hawarden, Iowa, which created its own dollars during the Great Depression. At every surprising turn, Greeley upends assumptions about global currencies and draws out the centuries-old tension between how dollars are manufactured and whom they actually serve.

Singular in its breadth, The Almighty Dollar dismantles the myth that America created or has ever truly controlled the dollar. Through meticulous research and vividly rendered stories of merchants, monarchs, and everyday people both past and present, Greeley shows how the dollar became America's greatest export, spawning a vast financial industry that enriches the wealthy, even as the rest of the country's industries suffer.

Reaching your goal weight isn't the finish line--it's where the real journey begins.

New York Times best-selling author Susan Peirce Thompson, brain and cognitive scientist and founder of Bright Line Eating, teaches you the three identity shifts that will finally keep the weight off for good.

Conventional weight-loss programs, GLP-1s, gastric bypass, and fad diets aren't the magic bullets everyone hoped for. More often than not, people lose some weight, return to old eating patterns, and then promptly regain what they lost. With 85 percent of people discontinuing their GLP-1 medications within two years, one question remains unavoidable: Why is losing weight--and keeping it off--so difficult?

Best-selling author and expert in the psychology of eating, Susan Peirce Thompson has the answer: three science-backed identity shifts that will promote lasting change at the deepest level and rewire your relationship with food, dieting, and yourself:

• You are DEVOTED. No more bargaining or food chatter. Design your Maintenance plan and commit to it fully.
• You are RESOURCED. No more eating your feelings. Identify emotional triggers and build powerful skills to meet life without excess food.
• You are LIBERATED. No more tinkering with the last few pounds. Step into peace, joy, and fulfillment in a body--and life--you trust.

It's time to let go of the diet mentality and achieve long-term weight stability and freedom around food. Because maintenance isn't magic--it's a mindset.

A dazzling novel in stories from a master of the form that follows the Royal family across generations of obsession, betrayal, and reinvention.

For fans of Mary Gaitskill and Lauren Groff.

In postwar Paris, a boy is seduced by his mysterious nanny into the world of adult secrets. In 1950s New York City, a naïve caretaker struggles to protect her charge, a married woman paralyzed by her recent stroke, as new bruises appear each day on her body. In the 1970s, a fragile cousin wanders into the Royal family's jazz-soaked townhouse, where music, sex, and ruin intertwine. And at the heart of these stories is Rainey Royal herself, coming of age in Greenwich Village, inventing herself as an artist through the tumult of the '70s and '80s.

By turns shocking, erotic, and deeply humane, List of All Possible Desires is a haunting portrait of family and history--written with Landis's trademark beauty and precision.

"One of the greatest thinkers of our age" (The Guardian) presents a new way of living--one modeled on nature's design instead of capitalism's--for fans of Guns, Germs, and Steel and Doughnut Economics

It has often been said that it is easier to imagine the end of the world than it is to imagine the end of capitalism--and yet that is what the historical moment urgently calls for. As climate chaos, inequality, and social fragmentation intensify, humanity faces an imminent choice: continue with a system built on extraction and endless growth, or reimagine civilization itself. Incremental policy improvements are no longer enough--we need a deep transformation of our current civilization to continue to survive.

In Ecocivilization, leading thinker Jeremy Lent offers that reimagination, grounded in proven design principles of ecosystems and in humankind's evolved inclination toward justice, mutuality, and dignity.

What unfolds is a robust framework incorporating Lent's own expertise, and the lived experiences of those on the ground already putting ecological civilization's core tenets into practice--justice, mutuality, diversity, and symbiosis.

From the global economy to universal housing and income, from infrastructure to agriculture, every major aspect of our society could be redesigned to work together as a coherent whole, setting the conditions for all people to flourish. Ecocivilization shows how this future on a regenerated Earth is not only desirable, but entirely feasible.

"In a time of increasing loneliness, this book provides a steady guide, teaching us how to foster closeness, show up intentionally, and genuinely care for the people in our lives."--Nedra Glover Tawwab, author of Set Boundaries, Find Peace

Ever wondered what goes through other people's minds--their silly questions, their inner anxieties, hopes, and dreams?

In What We Ask Google, Simon Rogers explores insights from the world's biggest dataset: an epic snapshot, two decades long and counting, of our collective brain. What it reveals about us might surprise you.

Every June, for instance, the world sees a spike in searches for "How to help a bee." Reassuringly, people consistently want to know, "Where to donate blood?" after natural disasters. And despite superficial differences (such as the deeply divided world map of cat people vs. dog people), humanity has a lot more in common than we often acknowledge. After all, everywhere around the world, it's two a.m. when parents want to know how to get their baby to sleep.

Brimming with insights that vary from the playful to the profound, What We Ask Google delves into the momentous and the mundane secrets of what we ask when we get the chance to ask anything, offering a surprisingly hopeful picture of humankind.
