LONGLISTED FOR THE NATIONAL BOOK CRITICS CIRCLE AWARD

In 1951, with the publication of God and Man at Yale, a scathing attack on his alma mater, twenty-five-year-old William F. Buckley, Jr., seized the public stage--and commanded it for the next half century as he led a new generation of conservative activists and ideologues to the peak of political power and cultural influence.

Ten years before his death in 2008, Buckley chose prize-winning biographer Sam Tanenhaus to tell the full, uncensored story of his life and times, granting him extensive interviews and exclusive access to his most private papers. Thus began a deep investigation into the vast and often hidden universe of Bill Buckley and the modern conservative revolution.

Buckley vividly captures its subject in all his facets and phases: founding editor of National Review, the twentieth century's most influential political journal; syndicated columnist, Emmy-winning TV debater, and bestselling spy novelist; ally of Joseph McCarthy and Barry Goldwater; mentor to Ronald Reagan; game-changing candidate for mayor of New York.

Tanenhaus also has uncovered the darker trail of Bill Buckley's secret exploits, including CIA missions in Latin America, dark collusions with Watergate felon Howard Hunt, and Buckley's struggle in his last years to hold together a movement coming apart over the AIDS epidemic, culture wars, and the invasion of Iraq--even as his own media empire was unraveling.

At a crucial moment in American history, Buckley offers a gripping and powerfully relevant story about the birth of modern politics and those who shaped it.

What if you moved into a new house and found a secret guidebook? Look inside buildings and search for surprises in this enthralling, interactive book of maps.

In A Book of Maps for You, a young cartographer leaves a one-of-a-kind gift behind for the kid moving into his old house. He's drawn and annotated maps of all the neighborhood places of interest--no playground, reading nook, or chicken coop left uncharted.

During a big move, a child can feel a lot of pressure to be excited for the future, to open their heart to the place they're headed. But the roads they've been down hundreds of times, the familiar faces, and the house where they know every noisy pipe and leaky faucet all deserve care, too.

A Book of Maps for You honors the homes we leave behind and the ones we haven't met yet, reminding us that they may just be two sides of the same coin. Lourdes Heuer's attentive text speaks volumes in each word, and Maxwell Eaton III's signature detail-rich illustrations call for re-reads to drink in and explore every page

But she also has anxiety--serious anxiety, the kind that makes you scratch and pick--and she's always had bad luck around the ocean. It's hard to enjoy Hawaiian beaches when you've almost drowned more than once.

But as stranger and stranger things happen to Kaya around the sea, she realizes that--wanted or not--she has a special connection to it. Waves rise when she's angry. Surf smooths when she's calm. Fish come when she calls them. And when she learns the truth about her family and her divine ancestor, Mazu, she knows that she will need to connect with her most difficult emotions ASAP--or her potent powers may become dangerous to the people she loves.

Kaya of the Ocean is an exciting, fresh, and beautiful middle-grade fantasy about embracing who you really are. This heartfelt adventure of sun, surf, and sand touches on mental health, the immigrant experience, and the complexities of growing up.

"[A] fantastical debut."--Kirkus Reviews

A funny and adorable picture book about two friends going on an adventure and about meeting anxiety with resilience, an open mind and extra toilet paper.

Warm and Fuzzy are best friends.

Warm wants to go on an adventure, but Fuzzy isn't sure.
What if it's scary? What if it's really cold or super hot? What if there are no bathrooms, or worse: no toilet paper!

Warm says they have everything they need, but Fuzzy is worried.
Should they bring snacks? A sensible change of clothes? Toilet paper?

Warm knows where to go, but Fuzzy has questions.
Have they been there before? Will there be people there? Should they bring gifts? Or toilet paper

This reassuring story explores themes of resilience, patience, bravery and anxiety in a gently humorous and familiar way. It will remind worriers of all ages that no matter how big or small the adventure, they have it in themselves to meet it. Even if it means bringing their own toilet paper.

Something's out there in the dark!

First Possum hears it. Then Skunk. Then Wolf comes running.

"What could it possibly be?" asks Bat.

"Night Animals!" the animals declare.

"But you are night animals," Bat informs this not-so-smart crew.

Children will love the oh-so-funny animals in this twist on a cozy bedtime book.

A beautiful and reassuring "I love you" book that follows a small horse and its parent through their day from beloved author-artist Gianna Marino.

In a beautiful ode to family love, a horse asks its little one how they will spend their day: Listening to birdsong? Smelling flower blossoms? Racing the clouds? Feeling the earth beneath their feet?

As the pair uses their senses to experience the world around them during the day, the shadows grow longer, the sky darker, and the parent horse reassures the foal, "Don't be afraid, Little Horse. I will hold you and love you."

In this stunningly illustrated and lyrically told story, Gianna Marino poignantly captures a parent's love for their child.

Hailed as "the most compelling account of [Martin Luther] King's life in a generation" by the Washington Post, the Pulitzer Prize-winning bestseller is now adapted for young adults in this new standard biography of the most famous civil rights activist in American History.

Often regarded as more of a myth and legend than man, the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was many things throughout his storied life: student, activist, preacher, dreamer, father, husband. From his Atlanta childhood centered in the historically Black neighborhood of Sweet Auburn to his precipitous rise as a civil rights leader on the streets of Birmingham, Selma, and Montgomery, Dr. King would go on to become one of the most recognizable, influential, and controversial persons of the twentieth century.

In this fast-paced and immersive adaptation of Jonathan Eig's groundbreaking New York Times bestseller readers will meet a Dr. King like no other: a committed radical whose demands for racial and economic justice remain as urgent today as they were in his lifetime, a minister wrestling with his human frailties and dark moods, a citizen hunted by his own government.

The inspiring young adult edition of King: A Life highlights the author's never-before-seen research--including recently declassified FBI documents--while reaffirming and recontextualizing the lasting effects and implications of MLK's work for the present day. Adapted by National Book Award-nominated authors Yohuru Williams and Michael G. Long, this biography for a new generation is a nuanced, unprecedented portrayal of a man who truly shook the world.

Incandescent and celebratory paintings of cherry blossoms from Damien Hirst, in a glorious oversize volume with 18 gatefold spreads

With 107 works, Cherry Blossoms marks a new chapter in Damien Hirst's career-long exploration of the physical relationship between artist and canvas that began with his Spot Paintings in 1986. Hirst describes his cherry blossoms as "garish and messy and fragile"; the series signals a shift in Hirst's career away from minimalism and "the imagined mechanical painter" toward a painting that delights in the potential haphazardness of the medium, as well as the artist's own fallibility as a creator. Using a conceptual approach, Hirst explores questions of beauty, color and excess in these paintings. Rich in color and striking in number, Hirst's Cherry Blossoms are both an appropriation and a tribute to the pictorial art of the 19th and 20th centuries. Presented at the Fondation Cartier in Paris in 2021, Cherry Blossoms was Damien Hirst's first museum exhibition in France.
Damien Hirst (born 1965) rose to prominence in the 1990s as one of the Young British Artists, garnering attention for his controversial site-specific pieces. A 1989 graduate of Goldsmiths College, Hirst was awarded the Turner Prize in 1995. Now one of the contemporary art world's most famous figures, Hirst continues to surprise audiences with a staggering diversity of work, ranging from sculpture and painting to installation and performance art. In 2012, a retrospective of his 30-year career was staged at Tate Modern. Hirst is represented by Gagosian.
