What we eat is a leading factor in our health and quality of life. Research has proven that a plant-based diet can prevent and sometimes reverse chronic diseases like heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and cancer.

Yet this message has been ignored, distorted, or suppressed by people and organizations with a vested interest in the status quo.

In a compelling new analysis, Dr. T. Colin Campbell, coauthor of The China Study and author of the New York Times bestselling follow-up, Whole, brings to light a series of first-hand experiences that starkly demonstrate how corporate influence in academia, government and the media determines--and sometimes actively suppresses--public access to nutrition research.

Providing an eye-opening look behind the scenes of nutrition policy, Dr. Campbell recounts the story of his life and research, and then tells eight riveting stories in The Whole Truth about instances in which vital information was misrepresented or concealed, including:

• A national nutrition "supreme court" quietly organized by industry-affiliated scientists to control public messaging--and the attempt to expel Dr. Campbell from his own professional society when he challenged it.
• Manipulation of the U.S. Dietary Guidelines to permit consumption of animal protein at levels posing a higher risk of deadly chronic diseases.
• A research paper on the impact of nutrition on immunity--vital information for the COVID-19 pandemic--that was rejected from academic journals without professional review.
• An infant-feeding scandal in which a heavily marketed commercial product displaced breastfeeding--leading to widespread infant malnutrition and deaths around the world.

Coauthor Nelson Campbell, a filmmaker, health advocate, and Dr. Campbell's son, broadens the lens in the book's third part, examining why the plant-based movement has stalled and how it can be renewed through more effective messaging and a grassroots strategy to empower people everywhere to participate in building a healthier world. His suggested approach is provocative, inspiring and hopeful. Together, he and his father have authored a book that will infuse new energy into the plant-based movement.

There is a cure for medicine's ills, but it's going to hurt. Effective treatment, as every doctor knows, begins with accurate diagnosis. Making the Cut is about what's going on in the house of medicine.

Medicine got sick. One in three people now distrust the healthcare system. Following the pandemic, two-thirds of Americans doubt medical scientists will act in the best interest of the public. We are grappling with an epidemic of chronic illness--heart disease, cancer, diabetes, Alzheimer's, stroke, and chronic lung and kidney disease--affecting six in ten Americans, which medicine seems powerless to fix. The overall life expectancy of Americans has declined for the first time since the Great Depression.

Not only are trust levels tanking, the number of doctors is dropping dramatically. Physicians are quitting in droves. One in five doctors will leave medicine in the next two years. One in three will reduce their hours. A doctor, we assume, wounds in order to heal. "You're going to feel a sharp pain!" she says, before making the cut. Today, though, all too often the doctor wounds without healing. Why?

In Making the Cut, Dr. Aaron Kheriaty, one of the country's leading public intellectuals and preeminent bioethicists, reveals what medicine gave him--and what it sometimes took from him. This book is about how he grew from an overconfident pre-med to an ambivalent medical student to a capable physician who had fallen in love with medicine--even if his lover has turned into a prostitute of late. While presenting a damning diagnosis of contemporary medicine, Making the Cut also applies the wounding scalpel in order to heal it.

The stranger-than-fiction story of the terrifying "Zombie Hunter" whose brutal crimes nearly went unsolved until an unconventional detective and his team solved the mystery of a real-life monster hiding in plain sight.

Bryan Miller aka The Zombie Hunter, was a cavalier character juxtaposed as a single parent of a teenage daughter. He sported Steampunk attire, wielded a gatling gun at Comic Con conventions, and rode around in a custom fitted police looking car with green lights on the top and the "The Zombie Hunter '' detailed on the side. While his outward appearance and interests were a bit eccentric, little did people know, he was a real-life killer and predator that had been terrorizing the Phoenix area since 1992.

Chasing Down the Zombie Hunter is the extraordinary, detailed inside story of how a small-town ex-CPA, Detective Troy Hillman, and an elite team of detectives--hounded by the press, a frustrated and frightened public, and their own doubts and exhaustion--solved a double murder that had haunted the Valley of the Sun for more than twenty years. The initial details were already chilling--the brutal murder of two women, found headless, who were assaulted while riding their bikes along a well-known canal bike path--but with his inside-perspective, Hillman reveals how the initial headlines only scratch the surface.

Besides giving the families of Angela Brosso and Melanie Bernas closure and justice, Detective Hillman's groundbreaking methods and his familial DNA case set the precedent for cold cases like The Golden State Killer. Chasing Down the Zombie Hunter reveals how evidence that was already in possession of the police turned out to be the key to catching the killer--once they new how to look at it.

From frustrations and heartbreak to bizarre twists and incredible breakthroughs, Detective Hillman takes true crime devotees through every facet of how, against all odds, the suspect was found and arrested. Chasing Down the Zombie Hunter is a testament to the fact that no matter how old the case, there is always hope for justice...if you know where to look.

As an American singer, conductor, composer, and actor, Frank Sinatra, Jr. (1944-2016), had a long and successful music career and was recognized for his many contributions to American popular song. Yet, his own star has often been overshadowed by his world-famous father. The first book ever published about Frank Sinatra, Jr., Let Me Be Frank: The Extraordinary Life and Music of Frank Sinatra, Jr., details how this complex and often misunderstood artist dealt with professional struggles, personal demons, and endless comparisons with his father to emerge as a thriving performer who finally made peace with the name "Sinatra."

Let Me Be Frank chronicles Frank Sinatra, Jr.'s life and music career, including the lifetime loyalty of his friends and bandsmen, and his notorious womanizing. It also, of course, details the challenging relationship with his father, including an incident with his father that may have changed Frank Jr. forever. He ran from comparisons to his father and lost work due to his refusal to sing his father's songs. The book also details Frank Jr.'s kidnapping in 1963 when he was nineteen.

Included are over forty interviews with Frank Jr.'s friends, family, and colleagues. It also features a compelling narrative from Andrea Kauffman, Frank Jr.'s personal manager and close friend of thirty-one years, and an in-depth musical analysis of four decades of Frank Jr.'s recordings and stage shows. Let Me Be Frank finally sets the record straight about a brilliant man and a brilliant performer who never truly got the credit he deserved.

"Chris Kraus reinvents the true-crime novel." --The New Yorker

"[Kraus's] version of a classic American tragedy...a dazzling, refined work, formally and otherwise--at once tracking the far-reaching tentacles of addiction, and the trajectory of an almost unrecognizable America." --Bookforum

A critically acclaimed novel from Chris Kraus--author of the classic I Love Dick, a cult literary figure, and one of autofiction's truest innovators--about addiction, violence, and the American underclass.

On the Iron Range of northern Minnesota, at the end of the last decade, three teenagers shot and killed an older acquaintance after spending the day with him. In a cold, depressed town, on the fringes of the so-called "meth community," the three young people were quickly arrested and imprisoned.

At the time of the murder, Catt Greene and her husband, Paul Garcia, are living nearby in a house they'd bought years earlier as a summer escape from Los Angeles. Locked into a period of personal turmoil, moving between LA and Minnesota--between the art world and the urban poverty of Paul's addiction therapist jobs, the rural poverty of the icy, depressed Iron Range--Catt turns away from her own life and towards the murder case, which soon becomes an obsession. In her attempt to pierce through the brutality and despair surrounding the murder and to understand the teenagers' lives, Catt is led back to the idiosyncratic, aspirational lives of her parents in the working-class Bronx and small-town, blue-collar Milford, Connecticut.

Written in three linked parts, The Four Spent the Day Together explores the tensions of unclaimed futures and unchosen circumstances in the age of social media, paralyzing interconnectedness, and the ever-widening gulf between the rich and poor.

From #1 New York Times bestselling Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants author Ann Brashares and her brother Ben Brashares comes the "resonant and powerful" (School Library Journal, starred review) second book in the action-packed middle grade alternate history thriller trilogy that asks what present-day America would be like if Germany had won World War II.

Former best friends Henry, Frances, and Lukas thought they'd managed to restore history to its original path after their antics with a time-bending radio went awry. But they're still trapped in Westfallen, the version of present-day America where the Axis won WWII, living an alternate--and much darker--version of their lives.

Henry has to work at the Home for Incurables, Lukas is on hard labor all day, and only Frances, whose parents are members of the Nazi elite, gets to go to school and move freely. And since they and their friends in 1944 destroyed the radio, they have to find cruder and ever-more-desperate ways to communicate across time. Frances uses her privilege in Westfallen to gather as much information as she can, while Henry tries to turn Lukas into a local baseball hero to save him from being sent away to a work camp.

But the deeper the three friends and their 1944 counterparts dig into how Westfallen came to be, the more they begin to attract unwanted attention from people with a vested interest in making sure this version of history becomes permanent...at any cost.

A riveting history of vampire panics across cultures and down through the millennia--and why killing the dead is better than killing the living

Killing the Dead provides the first in-depth, global account of one of the world's most widespread yet misunderstood forms of mass hysteria--the vampire epidemic. In a spellbinding narrative, John Blair takes readers from ancient Mesopotamia to present-day Haiti to explore a macabre frontier of life and death where corpses are believed to wander or do harm from the grave, and where the vampire is a physical expression of society's inexplicable terrors and anxieties.

In 1732, the British public opened their morning papers to read of lurid happenings in eastern Europe. Serbian villagers had dug up several corpses and had found them to be undecayed and bloated with blood. Recognizing the marks of vampirism, they mutilated and burned them. Centuries earlier, the English themselves engaged in the same behavior. In fact, vampire epidemics have flared up throughout history--in ancient Assyria, China, and Rome, medieval and early modern Europe, and the Americas. Blair blends the latest findings in archaeology, anthropology, and psychology with vampire lore from literature and popular culture to show how these episodes occur at traumatic moments in societies that upend all sense of security, and how the European vampire is just one species in a larger family of predatory supernatural entities that includes the female flying demons of Southeast Asia and the lustful yoginīs of India.

Richly illustrated, Killing the Dead provocatively argues that corpse-killing, far from being pathological or unhealthy, served as a therapeutic and largely harmless outlet for fear, hatred, and paranoia that would otherwise result in violence against marginalized groups and individuals.

When Flight 93 crashed in that Pennsylvania field--amidst unfolding tragedy in New York City and Washington D.C.--the whole country grieved alongside those who had lost family and friends. But long before 9/11, that land had been wounded too, lush forests becoming mines before becoming empty fields struggling to thrive. As the community began to plan and build a memorial, they focused on remembrance and growth. Trees, they thought, would help the people root to the past but grow towards the light. And every year people planted.

Discover the inspirational story of the program (Plant a Tree at Flight 93) that restored the strip-mined land surrounding the national memorial in the years following 9/11. Through lyrical prose and lush art, 150,000 Trees illuminates the hope and empathy of the American people and shows the power of individuals to make a difference. Releasing in time for the 25th anniversary of 9/11.
