Super Body: A 3-Week Program to Harness the New Science of Body Composition and Restore Your Youthful Contours
Are you ready to take your health into your own hands? Heal your microbiome and improve your shape and body composition with Dr. William Davis' revolutionary new book.
Forget everything you've been told about dieting (from your doctor, the food industry, dietitians, and wellness influencers). You've been led down the wrong path, which has caused you to believe that calorie restriction, weight-loss drugs such GLP-1 agonists, and bariatric procedures are effective solutions for weight loss. They are NOT, nothing more than Ponzi schemes with upfront benefits, long-term disasters. Conventional weight-loss solutions are effective in the short-term but are plagued by serious problems, including virtually guaranteed weight regain over time. Muscle mass is the critical determinant of weight and provides vigor, youthfulness, and overall health. When we diet, lost muscle is regained as fat, leaving us in worse shape than before.
In SUPER Body, Dr. William Davis, MD, bestselling author of Wheat Belly and Super Gut, reveals how we can restore our health and youthful contours by returning to ancestral nutrition practices, restoring beneficial microbes, and taking synergistic supplements. The solution to losing weight lies not in pharmaceuticals or procedures but rather in restoring factors lost from the modern human life experience, specifically microbes lost due to overexposure to antibiotics and other factors, and the restoration of nutrients lost due to misguided dietary advice. Complete with a three-week program to help kick-start your journey, and including easy-to-make recipes to enhance your efforts, SUPER Body will show you how to lose the weight naturally and permanently while restoring your youthful shape and body contours.

When I Kill You
The multimillion-copy and New York Times bestseller B. A. Paris returns with a triumphant, unsettling next suspense novel, When I Kill You.
Who is watching Nell Masters? Nell Masters is certain someone is following her. The hairs on the back of her neck rise when she travels to and from work, there are silent calls to her office, and a huge bouquet of flowers arrives without a card. And Nell has a reason to be looking over her shoulder, because she has a secret that she's hiding from everyone in her life, including her new partner, Alex. But Alex also has secrets of his own. Fourteen years earlier, when Nell went by the name Elle Nugent, she witnessed a student, Bryony Sanders, getting into a stranger's car. When Bryony was found murdered, Elle became obsessed with finding the person responsible. She was convinced she knew who it was and her fixation with Brett Parker, the man she accused, led her down a dangerous path . . . Now, Nell tries to convince herself that this unnerving feeling of being watched is all in her mind. Has someone from her past discovered her new identity? Has the stalker become the stalked? Or is there something even more deadly at play? -
Year of Ikigai: Finding Everyday Purpose Through Japanese Wisdom
Find purpose and meaning in your day-to-day life with A Year of Ikigai, a collection of short and simple daily reads, over 365 days, for easy understanding and integration of this Japanese philosophy.
Ikigai is not a Venn diagram with a sweet spot in the middle. It's not your bliss, nor is it your one life purpose. It's not a word or concept from Okinawa. It's not related to longevity. And it doesn't mean that you never retire. So, what is ikigai? Iki comes from the verb ikiru, which means "to live." But it is not referring to your life as a whole, as in a lifetime, but rather your "everyday life." The concept of ikigai aligns and relates to finding meaning in your day-to-day living. In A Year of Ikigai, ikigai expert Nicholas Kemp introduces the Japanese concept of ikigai through 365 days of practical tips, reflections, and real-life examples to help you apply the principles of ikigai in tangible ways to your life, so you can answer the most important question: What gets you up in the morning? -
Jackson Alone
Four Black Japanese gay men team up against a culture where discrimination is deep-seated and revenge is just a click away. A searing, darkly funny debut from the Akutagawa Prize-winning author. Nobody at the corporate offices of Athletius Japan knows much about the massage therapist Jackson--but rumors abound. He used to work as a model. He likes to party. He's mixed race--half-Japanese, half-somewhere-in-Africa-n. He might be gay. Fueling the gossip is the sudden appearance of a violent pornographic video featuring a man who looks a lot like Jackson. When Jackson serendipitously meets three other queer mixed-race guys, he learns he's not the only one being targeted. Together they concoct a plan: find out who's responsible and, in the meantime, switch identities and play tricks on people--a boyfriend, a boss--who've wronged them, exploiting the fact that nobody can seem to tell them apart. A short, blistering gut punch of a novel, Jackson Alone is at turns satirical and deadpan, angry and tender--a frank exploration of identity, race, queerness, and discrimination in contemporary Japan that announces Jose Ando as a singular new talent in the global literary scene. -

Wrong Place

With a hand as sensitive as it is exuberant, Angoulême-winner Brecht Evens's first English graphic novel captures the strange chemistry of social interaction. The Wrong Place contrasts life as it is, angst-ridden and awkward, with life as it can be: spontaneous, uninhibited, and free. -

Call at 4 Am: Thirteen Prime Ministers and the Crucial Decisions That Shaped Israeli Politics
The full and untold story of Israeli politics penned by one of Israel's most distinguished political journalists. "The phones had been installed in every corner of the apartment, and all started ringing at once. Golda Meir knew exactly what the sound meant--but she was afraid to pick up. Then she woke up with a jolt, covered in a cold sweat. It was 4 AM, and she could not get back to sleep." In A Call at 4 AM, Israel's top political journalist, Amit Segal, takes you inside the moments when history was decided in real time. From Golda Meir's sleepless nights before the Yom Kippur War to Benjamin Netanyahu's power struggles during missile attacks, Segal uncovers the untold stories of war rooms, last-minute deals, and the relentless pressure of governing a country that never knows a quiet day. Through gripping storytelling and unprecedented access, Segal reveals how Israel's leaders navigate wars, terror waves, and global crises--while constantly fighting for their own political survival. What happens behind closed doors when a prime minister must decide whether to strike Iran? How do backroom betrayals and coalition battles shape military decisions? And why, in Israel, is every political crisis also a national emergency? Witty, fast-paced, and packed with revelations, A Call at 4 AM is the closest you'll ever get to standing in the prime minister's shoes when the phone rings--and the fate of Israel is on the line. -
House of David: Salvation, Scandal, and Survival in a Modern American Commune
In 1903, after seven years traveling the country as itinerant preachers, Benjamin and Mary Purnell moved to Benton Harbor, Michigan, where they founded a commune. Their settlement soon blossomed into a vibrant religious colony and booming business enterprise. They called it the House of David, and its members--hailing from across the United States and around the world--were Christian Israelites, members of a millennialist faith who seek to assemble the remnants of the lost tribes of Israel in a new Jerusalem. Once gathered, they believed, this community of 144,000 would never die. Over the next six decades about two thousand believers moved to Benton Harbor. They accepted stringent rules that included relinquishing all assets, practicing celibacy, and renouncing meat, hair-cutting, and traditional family ties--all in exchange for community, economic security, and the promise of immortality. Working in the commune's multiple business enterprises, they sought refuge from the abuses of industrial capitalism at a time of widespread social and economic upheaval, even as they brilliantly seized on the opportunities the modern economy had to offer. They also eagerly embraced popular culture by running a successful amusement park, performing in touring musical groups, and playing on barnstorming baseball teams that were the delight of audiences nationwide. The House of David thrived into the 1960s and lingers on as a tiny remnant today despite early decades characterized by a steady stream of financial and sexual scandals, a torrent of litigation, and obsessive coverage in the press. In her study of this distinctive and little-known group, Evelyn Sterne reveals a larger story about religion and social change during a pivotal era in modern American history. Drawing upon extensive archival sources, many consulted for the first time, she sheds light on a host of questions, examining who joined this Christian Israelite community and why, and showing what their choices reveal about the strategies that immigrants and native-born Americans embraced at a time of disorienting economic, social, and cultural change. Sterne considers the critics who worked tirelessly to discredit the Michigan commune and what their efforts tell us about the limits of religious toleration and debates over what counts as "religion." Finally, she unveils how the House of David weathered decades of scandals to survive, becoming one of the longest-lasting intentional communities in American history. -

Planets: A Cosmic Pastoral
From Marginalian Editions comes a gorgeous reissue of celebrated poet and naturalist Diane Ackerman's debut: a soaring ode to our solar system, planet to planet, blending science and imagination, astronomy and cosmology, as well as fantasy, satire, myth, and reflection.
First published in 1973, The Planets: A Cosmic Pastoral introduced not only a splendid new poet but a whole new adventure in poetry. With bravura style, unbridled imagination, and a connoisseur's eye for precise scientific detail, Diane Ackerman's debut brought us an unforgettable ode to each planet in our solar system, not to mention the moon, the comet Kohoutek, and the asteroid belt, as well as strange voyages to the stars, the bottom of the sea, through the human body, and into the mind.
Diane Ackerman herself says: "I've always been baffled by people who write about nature only in terms of, say, junipers and cornfields, eschewing all things so-called 'scientific, ' as if science were, per se, the spoil-sport of feeling. So wonderless a view of nature really doesn't appeal to me." The Planets is a rare fusion of art and science--one of the great poetic works of cosmic imagination.
