The Analects of Confucius has been the bedrock of Chinese culture for over 2,500 years, shaping the trajectory of human history in ways unmatched by nearly any other secular philosophy. But until now, translations of this compendium of Confucian wisdom have forced women--half of humanity--into the philosophical background.

Renowned scholar Erin M. Cline boldly challenges this legacy, breathing new life into this monumental work with a fresh and accessible translation, presenting not only an innovative thematic structure but also a vital reinterpretation for modern readers. By employing gender-neutral language throughout, guided by the text itself, Cline dismantles patriarchal misinterpretations of the Analects, and in the process reveals a Confucius who speaks to everyone. This groundbreaking edition will redefine Confucian thought for a new generation of readers in English.

A young girl and her Aunty set sail on their river raft, basking in each other's company and in the beauty of the world around them--the sun sparkling on the water, the birds soaring over the mountains, the frogs and butterflies that gather in the reeds. Along the way, they pass friends and families engaged in caring for one another--sharing food, tending wounds, celebrating birthdays, and telling stories--who ultimately join them in cleaning litter and trash from the river.

Celebrated artist Katie Yamasaki's newest picture book is a nuanced, lyrical celebration of our connections to each other and the environment. With electric, eye-catching illustrations, Ripples reminds us of the value of care and the ways we can perform it--for each other, and for the world around us.

Originating nearly four thousand years ago in ancient Mesopotamia, the epic of Gilgamesh tells the story of a tyrannical king and his wild counterpart, Enkidu, spawned by the gods to rein in the king's cruel tendencies. They face off in a violent wrestling match, but the clash forges a bond between them. The deep, fiercely intimate camaraderie that emerges carries the two men through extraordinary adventures, from a bloody battle with the fearsome forest guardian, Humbaba, to a cataclysmic struggle with the Bull of Heaven. As the friends venture further into the unknown, they find themselves confronted with the ultimate, defining fate of all humankind.

At once a story about love among men and a timeless meditation on loss, grief, and the longing to outlast death, Gilgamesh is at its core one of the oldest and most majestic depictions of human resilience and dignity.

Now, in the hands of Simon Armitage, poet laureate of the United Kingdom, this primeval epic swells and flows in rhythmic, contemporary English with a vitality and immediacy that only a genuinely poetic rendering can achieve. Grounded in the latest scholarship but always propulsively readable, Armitage's version brings the ancient text to new life, offering a new generation of readers a thrilling portal into the very dawn of storytelling.

A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER! - A READ WITH JENNA TODAY SHOW BOOK CLUB PICK - A heartbreaking, empowering, often hilarious debut memoir about a mother's all-consuming love, a son's perilous quest to discover the world beyond the front door and the unregulated homeschool system that impacts millions like him

Stefan Merrill Block was nine when his mother pulled him from school, certain that his teachers were "stifling his creativity." Hungry for more time with her boy who was growing up too quickly, she began to instruct Stefan in the family's living room. Beyond his formal lessons in math, however, Stefan was largely left to his own devices and his mother's erratic whims, such as her project to recapture her twelve-year-old son's early years by bleaching his hair and putting him on a crawling regimen.
In this "stunning debut memoir" (Jenna Bush Hager, The Today Show), Block beautifully reflects on his experiences in both traditional and at-home education systems, delving into:

• The inception of the homeschooling movement and its massive rise throughout America
• Early memories of Block's mother, and a poignant look into their dysfunctional mother-son story
• Block's reentry into the public school system, both jarring yet insightful, and the bullying he withstood
• His emotional journey towards forgiveness, love, and hope as he becomes a parent himself

At once a novelistic portrait of mother and son, and an illuminating window into an overlooked corner of the American education system, Homeschooled is a moving, funny and ultimately inspiring story of a son's battle for a life of his own choosing, and the wages of a mother's insatiable love.

An immersive, pulse-pounding exposé on the global rise of teenage hackers, offering an insider's portrait of the dark net and the key players who are disrupting corporations, government institutions and our everyday lives

Julius Kivimaki, aka Zeekill, is arguably the most hated hacker in history. In one of the world's cruelest cyberattacks, he blackmailed 30,000 psychotherapy patients with their stolen notes. Yet while the breach was singularly inhumane, Kivimaki's rise--from twelve-year-old hacking nuisance to Most Wanted criminal--is symptomatic of a larger trend. His story gives us vital insights into how hackers, many of whom are teenagers, find their feet and become dangerous criminals.

In this gripping true crime narrative, cybersecurity correspondent Joe Tidy reveals that there is one area of the criminal underworld that is being underestimated at our peril--the dark digital underbelly where teenage boys are reshaping cybersecurity, cryptocurrency and organized crime under the noses of their parents.

Propulsive, urgent and scrupulously reported, Ctrl + Alt + Chaos tracks the rise and fall of global hacking groups to ask the question: How can we stop the cycle of teenage boys hijacking life online?

"A morally complex and life-affirming exploration of what it means to be alive, and of the enduring power of love to transform, reanimate, and redeem." --Celeste Ng, New York Times-bestselling author of Our Missing Hearts

"The novel's immersive quality and intricate structure is reminiscent of Liz Moore's recent bestseller, The God of the Woods, while the boys' lyrical voices, told from an obscure afterlife, harken back to such contemporary classics as Alice Sebold's The Lovely Bones." --The Boston Globe

Caleb was driving home for Christmas. Steven was pounding beers at a local bar. Matthew was out looking for his ex-girlfriend. Leo was walking in the woods on a winter night. Then they disappeared.

Days, weeks, years later, their bodies turn up in icy rivers hundreds of miles apart. How did they get there? What, if anything, connects them? Some of their loved ones believe the official answers. Some are convinced the boys are victims of an insidious network called the Smiley Face Killers. Some are trying to forget them altogether. Meanwhile, Caleb, Steven, Matthew, and Leo find one other--and other boys like them--in the murky depths of the afterlife. Each tells his story in his own way, speaking his version of truth, confessing his desires and grievances and even his hopes for a future he still somehow believes belongs to him. Each revelation brings the reader deeper into their intertwined fates, along a journey through the landscapes of identity, intimacy, and the haunting echoes of unresolved grief.

"Dark and delectable. I gobbled this book up and enjoyed every last bite."
--Kirsten Miller, author of The Change and The Women of Wild Hill

The women in Cold Harbor all have something to prove, and they'll have to do it in a world full of monsters.

Something's not right in Cold Harbor--more so than usual. While this sleepy small town has seen its fair share of monsters in cheating husbands and leering bosses, none are as hungry as Mrs. Smith. The mysterious resident has finally emerged from her crumbling mansion on the hill, mesmerizing the townspeople with her beauty. Her secret? Nine human sacrifices to feed her immortality.

Natalie Scott is more worried about Mrs. Smith blocking her first real estate sale--the one that will take her from stay-at-home mom to working woman extraordinaire. She's eager to prove herself in a world where the social mores of 1980s suburbia reign, where she's expected to keep a magazine-perfect home and raise beautiful children, all while sticking to her husband's budget. Natalie's two best friends are facing their own demons, and Mrs. Smith and her deep, dark woods are an easy scapegoat for everyone's problems.

But Natalie's twelve-year-old daughter, Jill, and her Icelandic housekeeper, Una, can sense something deeper at play. Armed with library books and a whole lot of grit, Jill and Una team up to save the town once and for all. But as the rest of Cold Harbor sinks into anger, fear, and jealousy, they'll have to confront the question: What does it really mean to be a monster?

DE LA LÍDER DE LA BANDA INDIE POP JAPANESE BREAKFAST, UNA INOLVIDABLE HISTORIA SOBRE LA FAMILIA, LA COMIDA, EL DOLOR Y EL AMOR

«Desde que mi madre murió, lloro en H Mart.
H Mart es una cadena de supermercados especializada en comida asiática. La H es por han ah reum, una frase en coreano que podría traducirse como 'un brazo lleno de comestibles'. Mi madre expresaba su amor por medio de la comida. Por muy crítica o cruel que pudiera parecer --no dejaba de presionarme para que colmara sus utópicas expectativas--, yo siempre sentía que su afecto irradiaba de los platos que me preparaba exactamente como a mí me gustaban. Y si bien apenas hablo coreano, cuando estoy en H Mart es como si lo dominara. Acaricio los productos y digo los nombres en voz alta: melón chamoe, danmuji. Recuerdo las chucherías que mi madre me contaba que comía cuando era niña y el empeño que ponía yo en intentar imaginarla a mi edad. Quería que me gustaran todas las cosas que le gustaban a ella, quería ser ella».

La voz de Zauner, enérgica y directa, lírica y sincera, suena tan viva sobre el escenario como en cada una de estas páginas. Lágrimas en H Mart, un libro para disfrutar, compartir y releer, es su exquisito debut como escritora.

Ada doesn't need the goat. She doesn't want the goat. So why isn't she happy when it leaves?

When Ada leaves town and moves into a fixer-upper cottage on a hill, she can't wait to settle into a life of peace and quiet. She'll wear a soft gray coat and grow perfect red apples, and everything will be just so.

Yet Ada's lovely plans are soon dashed by a troublesome goat that hangs around long after she frees it from a tangle with a fence. Its antics undo her perfect new life piece by piece, until Ada snaps and sends the goat firmly on its way. Never again will it chase after her apples... or sleep on her porch... or nibble on her soft, gray coat. And suddenly, Ada isn't so glad. What if it's stuck in a fence again?

A triumphant reunion, complete with baby goats, perfectly concludes this adorable and timeless tale of reluctant animal love. Heidi Aubrey's prancing, clattering goat illustrations crackle with the spark that goat lovers know no other creature quite shares. As for Ada and her cottage, parents reading aloud may well see something familiar in having a tidy, calm home upturned by a mischievous small creature--and not wanting to have it any other way.
