"The exciting beginning of a promising new epic fantasy series. Prepare for ancient mysteries, innovative magic, and heart-pounding heists."--Brandon Sanderson

"Complex characters, magic that is tech and vice versa, a world bound by warring trade dynasties: Bennett will leave you in awe once you remember to breathe!"--Tamora Pierce

In a city that runs on industrialized magic, a secret war will be fought to overwrite reality itself--the first in a dazzling new series from City of Stairs author Robert Jackson Bennett.

Sancia Grado is a thief, and a damn good one. And her latest target, a heavily guarded warehouse on Tevanne's docks, is nothing her unique abilities can't handle.

But unbeknownst to her, Sancia's been sent to steal an artifact of unimaginable power, an object that could revolutionize the magical technology known as scriving. The Merchant Houses who control this magic--the art of using coded commands to imbue everyday objects with sentience--have already used it to transform Tevanne into a vast, remorseless capitalist machine. But if they can unlock the artifact's secrets, they will rewrite the world itself to suit their aims.

Now someone in those Houses wants Sancia dead, and the artifact for themselves. And in the city of Tevanne, there's nobody with the power to stop them.

To have a chance at surviving--and at stopping the deadly transformation that's under way--Sancia will have to marshal unlikely allies, learn to harness the artifact's power for herself, and undergo her own transformation, one that will turn her into something she could never have imagined.

"For Bob, nothing was sacred and nothing was set in stone - except maybe the idea that fundamentalism is a dangerous dead end. Like Alfred Korzybski's Science and Sanity, Robert Anton Wilson's The New Inquisition seeks to rescue science from fundamentalist materialism, and the rest of us from the broader implications of this approach. It is at once a philosophical treatise and an act of cognitive defiance . . . His message is more important right now than it was when he wrote it. Our digital fundamentalists see human beings as an engineering problem to be solved. Behaviors and thoughts that do not conform to our algorithmically generated profiles are to be eliminated, and humans shepherded into the reality tunnels that obey the laws of rationality alone. We are right now being programmed by the very fundamental materialists RAW is warning us about on these pages."

A wry, thought-provoking fictional portrayal of ten pivotal weeks in the life of Leon Trotsky, inspired by the Russian revolutionary's exile in New York City in 1917, by the New York Times bestselling author of The Company

January 12, 1917: An ocean liner docks in New York Harbor. Among the disembarking emigrants is one Lev Davidovich Bronshtein--better known by his nom de guerre, Leon Trotsky. Bronshtein has been on the run for a decade, driven from his beloved Russia after escaping political exile in Siberia. He lives for--and is ready to sacrifice his life for--a workers' revolution, at any cost. But is he ready to become an American?

In the weeks leading up to the February Revolution that will eventually see Lenin's Bolsheviks seize power, Bronshtein haunts the streets, newspaper offices, and socialist watering holes of New York City, wrestling with the difficult questions of his personal revolutionary ideology, his place in his own family, his relationship to Lenin, and, above all, his conscience.

Master of the espionage novel Robert Littell brings to life the world-famous revolutionist's sojourn in the Bronx in this extraordinary meditation on purpose, passion, and the price of progress.

"Wonderfully illuminating." --Los Angeles Times - "Fascinating." --The New York Times Book Review

For those who love mountains, their wonder is beyond dispute. But for many, their allure is beyond reason; their extraordinary beauty offset by the immense risks involved in climbing them. In this groundbreaking and now classic work, Robert Macfarlane answers the enduring 'why' of mountaineering. He explores how mountains have come to grip the Western imagination and hold so many of us spellbound, drawing us up into the high places--sometimes at the cost of our lives.

Braiding history, geology, human stories, and glittering accounts of his own journeys in high, wild landscapes from the Rockies to the Himalayas, Macfarlane unfurls the mysteries and passions of mountaineering's imaginative evolution. His account begins in the mid-1700s, when a fascination for mountains was sparked by the work of both poets and scientists in Europe. It ends with a vivid re-creation of George Mallory's three, ill-fated expeditions in the 1920s, as Mallory sought to be the first to summit Mt. Everest.

From the author of The Old Ways and Underland, an "eloquent (and compulsively readable) reminder that, though we're laying waste the world, nature still holds sway over much of the earth's surface." --Bill McKibben

Are there any genuinely wild places left in Britain and Ireland? That is the question that Robert Macfarlane poses to himself as he embarks on a series of breathtaking journeys through some of the archipelago's most remarkable landscapes. He climbs, walks, and swims by day and spends his nights sleeping on cliff-tops and in ancient meadows and wildwoods. With elegance and passion he entwines history, memory, and landscape in a bewitching evocation of wildness and its vital importance.

In the winter of 1703, Matthew Corbett's Manhattan neighborhood is shaken by explosions. Someone is trying-and trying very hard-to get his attention. That someone is a shadowy figure from Matthew's past: the elusive Professor Fell. The professor, it turns out, has a problem of his own, one that requires the exclusive services of Matthew Corbett.

As a result, Matthew travels from New York to Pendulum Island in the distant Bermudas, encountering a truly Dickensian assortment of memorable, often grotesque, antagonists. The result is both an exquisitely constructed novel of suspense and a meticulous recreation of a bygone era. Filled with twists, turns, and an almost tangible sense of place, The Providence Rider is historical thriller writing at its finest by New York Times bestselling and award-winning author Robert McCammon.

From the bestselling author of Conclave, Fatherland, and the Cicero Trilogy comes a chilling and dark new thriller unlike anything Robert Harris has done before.

Fairfax becomes determined to discover the truth. Over the course of the next six days, everything he believes--about himself, his faith, and the history of his world--will be tested to destruction.

Why the irrational exuberance of investors hasn't disappeared since the financial crisis

In this revised, updated, and expanded edition of his New York Times bestseller, Nobel Prize-winning economist Robert Shiller, who warned of both the tech and housing bubbles, cautions that signs of irrational exuberance among investors have only increased since the 2008-9 financial crisis. With high stock and bond prices and the rising cost of housing, the post-subprime boom may well turn out to be another illustration of Shiller's influential argument that psychologically driven volatility is an inherent characteristic of all asset markets. In other words, Irrational Exuberance is as relevant as ever. Previous editions covered the stock and housing markets--and famously predicted their crashes. This edition expands its coverage to include the bond market, so that the book now addresses all of the major investment markets. It also includes updated data throughout, as well as Shiller's 2013 Nobel Prize lecture, which places the book in broader context. In addition to diagnosing the causes of asset bubbles, Irrational Exuberance recommends urgent policy changes to lessen their likelihood and severity--and suggests ways that individuals can decrease their risk before the next bubble bursts. No one whose future depends on a retirement account, a house, or other investments can afford not to read this book.

"All my blessings are the blessings of community." --Octavia Spencer

Octavia drove to Los Angeles at twenty-six in search of a career in film. What she found was her chosen family. In this captivating memoir, the Oscar-winning actor and producer recounts the seeds of the relationships that grew into the story of her life, from her tender teenage connection with Whoopi Goldberg to her sustaining friendships with Sandra Bullock, Melissa McCarthy, Allison Janney, Viola Davis, Jessica Chastain, and the many talented, inspiring women whose love and advice have helped her become the woman she is today. Together, they built the world in which this book is set: a place where women support one another and the voices of history's heroines ring aloud.

Give Them Their Flowers is a love letter to female friendship. It is a call to follow your personal passions, create community, and persevere. This is Octavia's ode to all the women who wake up early to get it done: the mentors, the mothers and the mother figures, the aunties and the godmothers, the creators, the visionaries, and the best friends.

"Men have given me jobs," Octavia says. "Women are the reason the world knows who I am."

"A sparkling delight about found and chosen family, being brave even in the tiny moments, and the rewards we can reap when we put our authentic selves out there. What a sweet, hilarious treat." --Christina Lauren, New York Times bestselling author

Franny Doyle is having the worst day. She's been laid off from her (admittedly mediocre) job, the subway doors ripped her favorite silk dress to ruins, and now she's flashed her unmentionables to half of lower Manhattan. On the plus side, a dashing stranger came to her rescue with his (Gucci!) suit jacket. On the not-so-plus side, he can't get away from her fast enough.

Worse yet? Someone posted their (entirely not) meet-cute online. Suddenly Franny and her knight-in-couture, Hayes Montgomery III, are the newest social media sensation, and all of New York is shipping #SubwayQTs.

Only Franny and Hayes couldn't be a more disastrous match. She's fanciful, talkative, and creative. He's serious, shy, and all about numbers. Luckily, in a city of eight million people, they never have to meet again. Yet somehow, Hayes and Franny keep running into each other--and much to their surprise, they enjoy each other's company. A lot. But when Franny's whole world is turned upside down (again!), can she find the courage to trust in herself and finally have the life--and love--she's always wanted?

A clever, tender rom-com romp for readers of Jasmine Guillory, Abby Jimenez, and Sophie Cousens.

Two leading public intellectuals and dear friends--one progressive, one conservative--explore What is Truth? and Why Does Truth Matter?

In Truth Matters, Cornel West and Robert P. George address a range of social issues on which Americans today are bitterly divided. Their book models robust intellectual engagement and civil discourse as they explore vital questions surrounding the idea of truth and its foundational role in our lives. Along the way, they reflect on social conditions--such as respect for freedom of speech--that must be established and maintained if truth is to be seriously pursued. They also explore the virtues--such as intellectual humility and courage--that must be acquired and practiced if we frail, fallible, fallen human beings are to be determined truth seekers and bold truth speakers.

Invitatory hovers in a space between worlds: one disintegrating, one yet unformed; outside of time, but teeming with the desires time presents. Probing the nature and reliability of language and perception, the contours of human suffering, and the complexities of ordinary love, Invitatory insists that we confront the world, and ourselves in it, and invites us to pledge ourselves to the world as it is and as it might one day be.

What People Are Saying

In this luminous collection, Molly Spencer sets her infrared sight on the interstice between "shelter and glare," that indeterminate spot where elements recombine and the world appears strangely remade - or, even more mysteriously, "found out." Thresholds are frightening places, but Spencer trusts that destabilized ground is exactly where all encounters with "genuine rescue" occur. Undaunted by the ever-slippery nature of language, Spencer tracks words like a bird dog, or guide to the underworld, crafting, in poem after gorgeous poem, the most intimate forms of invitation, that we, too might recognize likeness between self and other, and hold our deepest yearnings with compassion. -Lia Purpura, author of All the Fierce Tethers

"Wasn't rowing at all, only dipping the blade of my one oar / here, then there, to steer a little," yet or is the oar which sets Molly Spencer's poems pleasingly amok in this masterful collection, Invitatory. Or rather, it's inside the boundaries of the either-or, where Spencer explores breakage (and ruin) as the presage and/or the aftermath of intimacy, of language, of touch, of longing, and (yes) of loss. There is an intriguing muscularity happening here, a kind of muscle memory in which each poem, grafted tendon-like each to each, remembers, foresees, and challenges what happens in the other poems. Rather I should say, more body than just a collection of poems, Invitatory isn't afraid to show its math. Images-well-wrought, evocative, and cinematic the first time-are reconsidered again and again, yet somehow appear sharper, more vivid, more surprising with each iteration. Spencer has created a living thing that is sure to outlive all of us lucky enough to hold it for a while. -Tommye Blount, author of Fantasia for the Man in Blue

Alfred Dreyfus has been convicted of treason, sentenced to life imprisonment on a far-off island, and publicly stripped of his rank. Among the witnesses to his humiliation is Georges Picquart, an ambitious military officer who believes in Dreyfus's guilt as staunchly as any member of the public. But when he is promoted to head of the French counter-espionage agency, Picquart finds evidence that a spy still remains at large in the military--indicating that Dreyfus is innocent. As evidence of the most malignant deceit mounts and spirals inexorably toward the uppermost levels of government, Picquart is compelled to question not only the case against Dreyfus but also his most deeply held beliefs about his country, and about himself.

Driving to Michigan is a story about a family driving cross-country together. It features "boomer" parents who are traveling with their two adult "millennial" children in the confined space of a pickup truck. The story takes place during the time of the Covid pandemic, which adds another level of complexity and hilarity to the trek. While they are all together in the close quarters of the vehicle, the family converses with each other about all manner of topics and current events. This includes subject matter related to individual members of the family as well as to the world at large. Each family member has opportunities to express their own opinions about the world and their place in it. The other family members then have equal opportunity to respond and offer their own opinions. Naturally, boomers and millennials are not usually aligned on how they view and interact with each other or with the world. This is a recurring theme as this conflicted family drives from south to north and then back south again, transporting precious cargo on the way back home.

While they are traveling, the family covers all manner of topics like Covid, diversity-equity-inclusion, universal basic income, climate change, environmental-social-governance, partner abuse, drug abuse, pornography, body dysmorphia, bodybuilding, addiction, rehabilitation, death, mortuaries, funerals, and even redemption. t's a story that is highly relevant to families today. The author has written it so that it is both funny and tragic. He reminds you that, without a sense of humor and other coping skills, the runaway reality of addictive behavior and its aftermath can harm you or kill you or both. He also makes clear that your behavior can be equally damaging to the people around you who love and care for you the most.

There are so many families in America who have had to deal with the scourge of addiction. Addiction comes in many forms, some obvious and some much more subversive. With responsible families, addiction is not something you can ignore. If you do ignore it when it comes for your family, it's at the peril of you and your children. In Driving to Michigan, the author demonstrates how addiction can present itself as an irresistibly attractive and seductive pull to its negative core. He shows how it draws you in with a force of gravity and that, if you're not careful, it can pull you in past the point of no return. You can never let it pull you past that point. Addiction is a formidable demon with devastating force. Once someone is pulled into its orbit, it's nearly impossible to escape. When it comes for your family, what can you do? How do you prepare? How do you keep it away? And then, if it does break through your force field of protection, how do you fight it once it's inside? Unchecked, addiction will ravage everything and everyone you hold dear.

Driving to Michigan reminds us that addiction does not always present itself in an obvious manner in the early stages. It can be hidden, subterranean, lurking until it manifests out in the open with a vengeance. The author shows what it's like to be part of a family that is forced to deal with the unwanted reality of addictive behavior. He shows what kind of coping skills must be developed to deal with it, especially when it has overtaken other family members. By the end of the story the reader is offered a way of looking at the world. Is the universe a Hobbesian, malevolent, and deadly place, or is it a more benevolent and conscious place where you can develop yourself as a compassionate, sentient being. It offers a way to cope with tragedy and to maintain sanity in the midst of all the temptation and confusion of the world. The story demonstrates a life-altering test of emotional endurance and human perseverance by never giving up on your family.

★ "Explores adolescence, grief, and intergenerational relationships. Spencer draws readers into Mia's world and family life...Both Indigenous and non-Indigenous readers will enjoy reading about Mia's life and are likely to come away wanting more." -- Quill & Quire, starred review

It's the summer of 1989, and Mia is on her own--adjusting to life without her ex-best friend, Lara.

Summer vacation starts off well enough as Mia binges MuchMusic and learns how to jar fish with her aunty and uncle. Then her grandma starts feeling unwell. At first, Mia isn't too worried, but when a call comes in from the clinic to say her grandmother has to go to the hospital in Vancouver, everyone realizes this is serious.

Mia and her mom and aunties head to the city to be by her grandmother's side. Mia mostly ping-pongs from the hospital to the motel, but she also gets to see some of the city and eat (too much) takeout. She even joins a basketball camp at the Friendship Centre, where she meets a teen coach who inspires her to get back into the game she loves and delve deeper into what it means to be Indigenous. As time passes, Mia's grandmother's health doesn't improve, and she has to face the fact that her beloved grandma might not get better.

The epub edition of this title is fully accessible.

Praise for Kim Spencer's Weird Rules to Follow

From a talent who's been compared to Annie Dillard, Edward Abbey, David Quammen, and Jared Diamond, On Trails is a wondrous exploration of how trails help us understand the world--from invisible ant trails to hiking paths that span continents, from interstate highways to the Internet.

While thru-hiking the Appalachian Trail, Robert Moor began to wonder about the paths that lie beneath our feet: How do they form? Why do some improve over time while others fade? What makes us follow or strike off on our own? Over the course of seven years, Moor traveled the globe, exploring trails of all kinds, from the miniscule to the massive. He learned the tricks of master trail-builders, hunted down long-lost Cherokee trails, and traced the origins of our road networks and the Internet. In each chapter, Moor interweaves his adventures with findings from science, history, philosophy, and nature writing.

Throughout, Moor reveals how this single topic--the oft-overlooked trail--sheds new light on a wealth of age-old questions: How does order emerge out of chaos? How did animals first crawl forth from the seas and spread across continents? How has humanity's relationship with nature and technology shaped world around us? And, ultimately, how does each of us pick a path through life?

Moor has the essayist's gift for making new connections, the adventurer's love for paths untaken, and the philosopher's knack for asking big questions. With a breathtaking arc that spans from the dawn of animal life to the digital era, On Trails is a book that makes us see our world, our history, our species, and our ways of life anew.

The dramatic story of the new king's evolution over the past year from Prince of Wales to King Charles III, from one of the most acclaimed royal biographers writing today.

No British monarch has had a tougher act to follow.

Now, after seventy years of waiting and preparation, King Charles III is not just the head of the most famous family in the world. He is the custodian of a thousand-year-old institution which must redefine its place in the digital age while others insist on rewriting the past. With unrivaled access to the king, the royal family, and the court, leading royal authority Robert Hardman brings us the inside story on the most pivotal and challenging year for the monarchy in living memory.

From the death of Elizabeth II through to the ancient spectacle of the Coronation, from the rise of a new Prince and Princess of Wales to the latest "truth bombs" from the Sussexes, this is the story of the making of a monarch.

On the azure blue morning of 9/11 the skies were pronounced "severe clear," in the parlance of airline pilots; a gorgeous day for flying. Nearly 5,000 flights were cruising the skies over America when FAA Operations Manager Ben Sliney arrived at the Command Center for his first day on that job. He could never have anticipated the historic drama that was about to unfold as Americans who found themselves on the front lines of a totally unprecedented attack on our homeland sprang into action to defend our country and save lives.

In this gripping moment-to-moment narrative, based on groundbreaking reporting, Lynn Spencer brings the inspiring true drama of their unflinching and heroic response vividly to life for the first time, taking us right inside the airliner cockpits and control towers, the fighter jets and the military battle cabs. She makes vital corrections to the findings of the "9/11 Commission Report," and reveals many startling, utterly unknown elements of the story.

As a commercial pilot herself, for whom the attacks hit terribly close to home, she knew that the true scope and nature of the response so brilliantly improvised that morning by those in the thick of the action -- with so little guidance from those at the highest levels -- had not at all been captured by the news coverage or the 9/11 Commission. To get to the truth, she went on a three-year quest, interviewing hundreds of key players, listening to untold hours of tapes and pouring through voluminous transcripts to re-create each heart-stopping moment as it happened through their eyes and in their words as the drama unfolded.

From the shocking moment at 7:59 a.m. that American 11 fails to respond to a controller's call, until the last commercial flight has safely landed and military jets rule the skies, all Americans will find themselves deeply moved and amazed by the grace and fierce determination of these steely men and women as they draw on all of their exquisite training to grasp, through the fog of war, what is happening, put their lives on the line, and mount an astonishing response.

This beautifully crafted and deeply affecting account of the full story of their courageous actions is a vital addition to the country's understanding of a day that has forever changed our nation.
