Forgotten: How One Man Unlocked the Modern World
What if humanity's most important invention wasn't the steam engine or the printing press, but a machine that you've never heard of, built by a man that history forgot?
Eight billion people owe their lives to a man you've never heard of. In Forgotten, Jaime Dávila uncovers the astonishing true story of Cornelis Corneliszoon, a 16th-century Dutch tinkerer whose simple invention - the wind-powered sawmill - unleashed a chain reaction that built the modern world. Faster ships. Global trade. Stock markets. The Industrial Revolution. None of this would have happened without this single millwright's practical innovation.
A rigorous, revelatory, and unflinchingly subversive challenge to our understanding of how the modern world was built, and a long-overdue correction of an historical injustice.

Story of Tudor Art: A History of Tudor England Through Its Art and Objects
A TIMES BOOK OF THE YEAR
The Tudor dynasty (1485-1603) gave England five monarchs and an age of relentless power plays, scandal, and transformation. Thanks to artists like Hans Holbein the Younger, we feel we have a definite idea of the characters of these famous kings and queens: the miserly Henry VII, the six-times married tyrant Henry VIII, the boy king Edward VI, the devout matriarch Mary I and the virgin queen Elizabeth I. Yet, iconic as they are, when it comes to Tudor art, portraits - and rulers - are far from the whole story. In the sixteenth century, images and objects took on powerful new roles, as more people than ever before used them to shape their worlds. Monarchs, archbishops and courtiers continued to commission artworks in a variety of media, to convey messages and create a record of themselves as office-holders and individuals. But in this period, the 'middling sort', professional men and women, were also gaining status, wealth and influence. They wanted to promote themselves too, and used art and a dazzling array of objects to do so. In this unique and beautiful book, Christina Faraday uses art - paintings, sculpture, prints, tapestries, embroideries, clothes, jewels and household objects - to investigate every facet of the period. Beside dissecting familiar portraits of Tudor kings, queens and nobles, Faraday casts a forensic eye across a dynamic array of artefacts, giving the reader a vivid and detailed feel for the political, social, economic and cultural texture of sixteenth-century England.
A unique, illustrated history of Tudor England told through its art and artefacts. -
Loving the Fire: Choosing Me, Finding Freedom
When a woman decides to choose herself, everything changes.In Loving the Fire: Choosing Me, Finding Freedom, author and activist Deborah Santana shares a deeply moving memoir about awakening, resilience, and reclaiming a life of purpose after decades of living in the shadows.
Born to pioneering interracial couple Jo Frances and Saunders King, a popular jazz musician, she learned the strength of family. Deborah married legendary musician Carlos Santana, supporting his career and raising their three children, eventually carrying expectations and roles that diminished her power. When the weight became impossible to bear, she made the brave decision that would transform everything: she chose truth over appearances, freedom over fear, and her own voice over quiet acceptance of what no longer served her.
Across stories of motherhood, heritage, faith, global activism, and spiritual growth, Deborah takes readers on a journey through heartbreak, healing, and the powerful process of becoming whole. From working with Kenya's Daraja Academy to the Museum of the African Diaspora, from family loss to profound reinvention, she reveals how the fire that nearly consumed her became the source of her rebirth.
Equal parts inspirational memoir, spiritual teaching, and women's empowerment, Loving the Fire is for anyone standing at a crossroads-- ready to shed old versions of themselves and step into a fuller, freer life.
For readers of Viola Davis, Glennon Doyle, Cheryl Strayed, Michelle Obama, and Suleika Jaouad-- this memoir is a testament to what happens when a woman rises.Loving the Fire is published in partnership with Studio 33 Books and Broad Book Press.

Forgotten War: A World War II Battle on American Soil
From highly acclaimed, award-winning author Candace Fleming comes a thrilling, evocative, and shockingly personal examination of a forgotten corner of World War II history: the invasion and occupation of Alaska's Attu Island by Imperial Japanese Armed Forces and the ensuing battle to reclaim it.Charlie Groth has just been drafted into the US Army's 7th Infantry as a litter bearer in October 1942 when he boards a ship bound for remote parts of Alaska. Japanese forces have invaded mere months after their deadly attack on Pearl Harbor and are occupying two of the Aleutian islands. Yet Charlie and his fellow soldiers have been assured it's bound to be an easy fight and a quick victory. The boys will be home with their families for the holidays.
It will be three years before Charlie sees his family again.
Paul Nobuo Tatsuguchi is a physician in the Imperial Japanese Armed Forces with a penchant for journaling, a way to distract himself from how much he misses his wife and young daughters. As Charlie and his troops make their way to Attu Island, Paul and his troops construct foxholes, field hospitals, and trenches in preparation for the vicious battle to come.
When the two armies meet amid the fog and freezing rain, neither side is ready for the desperate fight that will become the second bloodiest battle in the Pacific after Iwo Jima. And neither is prepared for the price that patriotism and loyalty will demand.
Following two parallel stories from opposite sides of the conflict and capturing the war through first-person accounts and archival photographs, acclaimed author Candace Fleming brings this history to life with a thrilling, movingly personal, and fast-paced examination of the little-known World War II campaign that unfolded on American soil and wound up playing an essential role in the ultimate defeat of the Japanese Admiralty in the Pacific.

Reimagining Grief: A New Path to Finding Healing, Strength, and Joy After Loss
A healing-centered guide that reimagines the stages of grief and focuses on the importance of choosing joy in the midst of darkness. Reimagining Grief reframes the traditional five stages of grief with Kate Doerge's positive and more nuanced experiences and actions that she chose on her own journey through grief:- Connection
- Emotion
- Celebration
- Acceptance
- Purpose.
When Kate lost her 16-year-old daughter Penny after a lifelong battle with a rare genetic disorder called Neurofibromatosis, or NF, she had already lost both of her parents and was radically rethinking her relationship with grief and mourning. Every grief book that friends recommended felt like another weight dragging her down when all she wanted was a way to find hope and purpose again. Black dresses and serious ceremonies felt so at odds with the loving lives that they were meant to honor, especially Penny, who was such a bright light in her brief time here. So, Kate threw colorful celebrations instead of funerals and looked for ways to turn the pain she was feeling into purpose. Soon after, Kate founded the Penny's Flight Foundation, raising awareness and funding for NF; and now, Kate is spreading her message further with this book. Filled with personal stories and compassionate, loving encouragement for readers, Kate sheds light on a new path through grief for people looking for practical ways to move forward out of the darkness.Sold out -
