Maass sexy, richly imagined series continues with the journey of Feyres fiery sister, Nesta. Nesta Archeron has always been prickly-proud, swift to anger, and slow to forgive. And ever since being forced into the Cauldron and becoming High Fae against her will, shes struggled to find a place for herself within the strange, deadly world she inhabits. Worse, she cant seem to move past the horrors of the war with Hybern and all she lost in it.The one person who ignites her temper more than any other is Cassian, the battle-scarred warrior whose position in Rhysand and Feyres Night Court keeps him constantly in Nestas orbit. But her temper isnt the only thing Cassian ignites. The fire between them is undeniable, and only burns hotter as they are forced into close quarters with each other. Meanwhile, the treacherous human queens who returned to the Continent during the last war have forged a dangerous new alliance, threatening the fragile peace that has settled over the realms. And the key to halting them might very well rely on Cassian and Nesta facing their haunting pasts.Against the sweeping backdrop of a world seared by war and plagued with uncertainty, Nesta and Cassian battle monsters from within and without as they search for acceptance-and healing-in each others arms.

-Titulo Original : The Least Of Us: True Tales Of America And Hope In The Time Of Fentanyl And Meth-Fabricante : Bloomsbury Publishing-Descripcion Original: Apple Best Books of 2021Longlisted for the Andrew Carnegie Medal * Shortlisted for the Zocalo Book PrizeFrom the New York Times bestselling author of Dreamland, a searing follow-up that explores the terrifying next stages of the opioid epidemic and the quiet yet ardent stories of community repair.Sam Quinones traveled from Mexico to main streets across the U.S. to create Dreamland, a groundbreaking portrait of the opioid epidemic that awakened the nation. As the nation struggled to put back the pieces, Quinones was among the first to see the dangers that lay ahead: synthetic drugs and a new generation of kingpins whose product could be made in Magic Bullet blenders. In fentanyl, traffickers landed a painkiller a hundred times more powerful than morphine. They laced it into cocaine, meth, and counterfeit pills to cause tens of thousands of deaths at the same time as Mexican traffickers made methamphetamine cheaper and more potent than ever, creating, Sam argues, swaths of mental illness and a surge in homelessness across the United States.Quinones hit the road to investigate these new threats, discovering how addiction is exacerbated by consumer-product corporations. “In a time when drug traffickers act like corporations and corporations like traffickers,” he writes, “our best defense, perhaps our only defense, lies in bolstering community.” Amid a landscape of despair, Quinones found hope in those embracing the forgotten and ignored, illuminating the striking truth that we are only as strong as our most vulnerable.Weaving analysis of the drug trade into stories of humble communities, The Least of Us delivers an unexpected and awe-inspiring response to the call that shocked the nation in Sam Quinones’s award-winning Dreamland. Review This layered chronicle traces how methamphetamine and fentanyl became scourges of American life. . . . Quinones places the narrative in a range of illuminating contexts, including the brain chemistry of addiction; how an overdose in Akron, Ohio, led investigators to dealers based in China; and the decline of America’s deindustrializing towns and cities. - The New YorkerSam Quinones is perhaps our best big-picture analyst of America’s markets for addictive drugs. . . . He is a fluent storyteller who delivers his argument through a palette of affecting stories about people and communities torn apart, and about the small, step-by-step reclamations earned through patient, daily, humble work. Few readers will keep dry eyes through the entire book - Washington Post“American pain. This is the territory of Sam Quinones, a masterly reporter and vivid, lyrical writer, whose last book, Dreamland won a National Book Critics Circle Award and awakened readers to the problem of opiate addiction in the United States. . . . In The Least of Us, Quinones applies a similarly kaleidoscopic approach to ‘designer drugs’ like fentanyl and methamphetamine.” - New York Times Book Review“Jam-packed with amazing facts and, like all of Quinones work, reads like a thriller. You may think you know this story. Trust me, you dont. I normally dont write book reviews, but Quinones book is well worth your time.” - Ann Coulter, Townhall“Together with his earlier Dreamland, The Least of Us confirms his place as a leading chronicler of an American nightmare.” - New York Journal of Books“Chronicles how meth-ravaged communities have broken the cycle of drug abuse, violence and despair.” - Los Angeles Times, 11 Books to Add to Your Reading List“Sam Quinones is the indispensable ground-level guide to the epidemics of addiction that plague so many Americans. In The Least of Us, the tales of despair are brightened by seeing communities beginning to adapt and regrow to fight the horror that besets them. Everyone should read this.” - Angus Deaton, Nobel Laureate in Economics and co-author of DEATHS OF DESPAIR“This well-researched follow-up traces the next stage of the epidemic, with synthetic drugs...

-Titulo Original : Piranesi-Fabricante : Bloomsbury Publishing-Descripcion Original: New York Times BestsellerWinner of the Womens Prize for FictionWorld Fantasy Awards FinalistThe instant New York Times bestselling novel from the author of Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell, an intoxicating, hypnotic book set in a dreamlike alternative reality. Piranesis house is no ordinary building: its rooms are infinite, its corridors endless, its walls are lined with thousands upon thousands of statues, each one different from all the others. Within the labyrinth of halls an ocean is imprisoned; waves thunder up staircases, rooms are flooded in an instant. But Piranesi is not afraid; he understands the tides as he understands the pattern of the labyrinth itself. He lives to explore the house.There is one other person in the house-a man called The Other, who visits Piranesi twice a week and asks for help with research into A Great and Secret Knowledge. But as Piranesi explores, evidence emerges of another person, and a terrible truth begins to unravel, revealing a world beyond the one Piranesi has always known. For readers of Neil Gaimans The Ocean at the End of the Lane and fans of Madeline Millers Circe, Piranesi introduces an astonishing new world, an infinite labyrinth, full of startling images and surreal beauty, haunted by the tides and the clouds. Review “[Piranesi] flooded me, as the tides flood the halls, with a scouring grief, leaving gleaming gifts in its wake… rich, wondrous, full of aching joy and sweet sorrow.” The New York Times Book Review“A novel that feels like a surreal meditation on life in quarantine.” The New Yorker“Piranesi astonished me. It is a miraculous and luminous feat of storytelling, at once a gripping mystery, an adventure through a brilliant new fantasy world, and a deep meditation on the human condition: feeling lost, and being found. I already want to be back in its haunting and beautiful halls!” Madeline Miller, New York Times Bestselling Author of CIRCE“Unforgettable - surely one of the most original works of fiction this season. It drops you into a mind-bending fantasy world, a vast labyrinth with infinite rooms and seas that sweep into halls and up staircases with the tides. … Its a hypnotic tale that you can devour in a day (and probably will; its that hard to put down).” AARP“Piranesi is a high-quality page-turner-even the most leisurely reader will probably finish it off in a day-but its chief pleasure is immersion in its strange and uncannily attractive setting. . . Establishing that sense of totality-and the feeling of peacefulness that accompanies it-is Ms. Clarkes standout feat.” Sam Sacks, Wall Street Journal“Could Piranesi match [the hype]? Im delighted to say it has, with Clarkes singular wit and imagination still intact in a far more compressed yet still captivating tale youll want to delve into again right after you read its sublime last sentence.” The Boston Globe“Piranesi is a gorgeous, spellbinding mystery that gently unravels page by page. Precisely the sort of book that I love wordlessly handing to someone so they can have the pleasure of uncovering its secrets for themselves. This book is a treasure, washed up upon a forgotten shore, waiting to be discovered.” Erin Morgenstern, NYT bestselling author of THE STARLESS SEA and THE NIGHT CIRCUS“A short and beautiful novel that reads like a poem, not in its use of language (which is very accessible) but rather in its cumulative effect of expressing an emotion and state of being that is inexpressible. Its a strange and lovely read.” Buzzfeed“What a world Susanna Clarke conjures into being, what a tick-tock-tick-tock of reveals, what a pure protagonist, what a morally-squalid supporting cast, what beauty, tension and restraint, and what a pitch-perfect ending. Piranesi is an exquisite puzzle-box far, far bigger on the inside than it is on the outside.” David Mitchell, New York Times bestselling author of CLOUD ATLAS“Destined to become a work of classic fantasy.” Ron Ch...

-Titulo Original : Lost Connections-Fabricante : Bloomsbury Publishing-Descripcion Original: The New York Times bestseller from the author of Chasing the Scream, offering a radical new way of thinking about depression and anxiety.There was a mystery haunting award-winning investigative journalist Johann Hari. He was thirty-nine years old, and almost every year he had been alive, depression and anxiety had increased in Britain and across the Western world. Why? He had a very personal reason to ask this question. When he was a teenager, he had gone to his doctor and explained that he felt like pain was leaking out of him, and he couldnt control it or understand it. Some of the solutions his doctor offered had given him some relief-but he remained in deep pain.So, as an adult, he went on a forty-thousand-mile journey across the world to interview the leading experts about what causes depression and anxiety, and what solves them. He learned there is scientific evidence for nine different causes of depression and anxiety-and that this knowledge leads to a very different set of solutions: ones that offer real hope. Review “Lost Connections offers a wonderful and incisive analysis of the depression and alienation that are haunting American society.” Hillary Rodham Clinton“If you have ever been down, or felt lost, this amazing book will change your life. Do yourself a favour--read it now.” Elton John“Wise, probing, and deeply generous Hari has produced a book packed with explosive revelations about our epidemic of despair. I am utterly convinced that the more people read this book, the better off the world will be.” Naomi Klein“This is a bold and inspiring book that will help far more than just those who suffer from depression. As Hari shows, we all have within us the potential to live in ways that are healthier and wiser.” Arianna Huffington“Through a breath-taking journey across the world, Johann Hari exposes us to extraordinary people and concepts that will change the way we see depression forever. It is a brave, moving, brilliant, simple and earth-shattering book that must be read by everyone and anyone who is longing for a life of meaning and connection.” Eve Ensler, author of THE VAGINA MONOLOGUES“This is one of those extraordinary books that you want all your friends to read immediately--because the shift in world-view is so compelling and dramatic that you wonder how youll be able to have conversations with them otherwise.” Brian Eno“One of the worlds most important and most enlightening thinkers and social critics.” Glenn Greenwald, winner of the Pulitzer Prize“Johann Hari is again getting people to think differently about our mood, our minds and our drug use, and that is something we need a lot more of.” Bill Maher“Depression and anxiety are the maladies of our time, but not for the reasons you think . . . An important diagnosis from one of the ablest journalists writing in the English language today.” Thomas Frank, author of WHATS THE MATTER WITH KANSAS“Eye-opening, highly detailed . . . The book is part personal odyssey, in which Hari gets to grips with the flaws in his own treatment, and part scholarly reflection, where he sifts through the varying perspectives of scientists, psychologists and people with depression . . . Hari is clear about the difficulties of the task ahead and, in offering new ways of thinking, presents not surefire solutions but, he says, an alternative direction of travel . . . A compassionate, common-sense approach to depression and anxiety . . . His book brings with it an urgency and rigour that will, with luck, encourage the authorities to sit up and take note.” Guardian, Book of the Day, 17 January 2018“A bold call for a complete re-evaluation of what is causing the western epidemic of mental illness.” Sunday Times“Brilliant.” Mail on Sunday“This book has a great deal to offer. Lost Connections isnt as much about science and mental health as it is about society, and the stories we tell around mental illness . . . This books val...

-Titulo Original : Chasing Me To My Grave An Artists Memoir Of The Jim Crow South-Fabricante : Bloomsbury Publishing-Descripcion Original: About the Author Winfred Rembert (1945 - 2021) was an artist from Cuthbert, Georgia. His paintings on carved and tooled leather have been exhibited at museums and galleries across the country, and compared to the work of Jacob Lawrence, Romare Bearden, and Horace Pippin. Rembert was honored by the Equal Justice Initiative in 2015, awarded a United States Artists Barr Fellowship in 2016, and is the subject of two award-winning documentary films: All Me and Ashes to Ashes. In the last decades of his life, he lived and worked in New Haven, Connecticut. Booklist #1 Nonfiction Book of the Year * African American Literary Book Club (AALBC) #1 Nonfiction Bestseller * Named a Best Book of the Year by: NPR, Publishers Weekly, BookPage, Barnes & Noble, Hudson Booksellers, ARTnews, and more * Amazon Editors’ Pick * Carnegie Medal of Excellence in Nonfiction LonglistA compelling and important history that this nation desperately needs to hear. Bryan Stevenson, New York Times bestselling author of Just Mercy and executive director of the Equal Justice InitiativeWinfred Rembert grew up in a family of Georgia field laborers and joined the Civil Rights Movement as a teenager. He was arrested after fleeing a demonstration, survived a near-lynching at the hands of law enforcement, and spent seven years on chain gangs. During that time he met the undaunted Patsy, who would become his wife. Years later, at the age of fifty-one and with Patsy’s encouragement, he started drawing and painting scenes from his youth using leather tooling skills he learned in prison.Chasing Me to My Grave presents Rembert’s breathtaking body of work alongside his story, as told to Tufts Philosopher Erin I. Kelly. Rembert calls forth vibrant scenes of Black life on Cuthbert, Georgia’s Hamilton Avenue, where he first glimpsed the possibility of a life outside the cotton field. As he pays tribute, exuberant and heartfelt, to Cuthbert’s Black community and the people, including Patsy, who helped him to find the courage to revisit a traumatic past, Rembert brings to life the promise and the danger of Civil Rights protest, the brutalities of incarceration, his search for his mother’s love, and the epic bond he found with Patsy.Vivid, confrontational, revelatory, and complex, Chasing Me to My Grave is a searing memoir in prose and painted leather that celebrates Black life and summons readers to confront painful and urgent realities at the heart of American history and society. Review “Visually stunning . . . Rembert’s brutally honest storytelling helps us see the sacrifice and grit it took for Black Americans to survive in the Jim Crow South, something he said should make families proud and want to talk about their history.”- Debbie Elliott, NPR“This is a book like no other, from Winfred Rembert’s unique and uniquely powerful autobiographical paintings to his disturbing and courageous life story . . . Rembert recounts diabolical abuse and violence with rare candor and precision . . . By using carved, tooled, and dyed leather as the medium for vibrantly patterned scenes from his life, Rembert turned the scars on his body and soul into artworks of clarion witness and reckoning. With a foreword by Bryan Stevenson and superb color reproductions, Rembert’s self-portrait in word and image belongs in every library.” - Donna Seaman, Booklist, starred review, Best Books of the Year“With the most original of canvases . . . Chasing Me to My Grave is an illustrated autobiography of plain-spoken pains and moments of strength, alongside vernacular art that stops you short. Rembert died at 75, last spring; this is the memorial he should have lived longer to enjoy.” - Chicago Tribune“One-of-a-kind . . . Chasing Me to My Grave is a stunning piece of visual truth-telling. Featuring a foreword by Bryan Stevenson, it’s a stark reminder of our nation’s ugly history, and the power in reclaiming such history through art.” - Chicago Review of Books...

Kwon) adventure story of a fugitive girl, a mysterious gang of robbers, and their dangerous mission to transform the Wild West.In the year of our Lord 1894, I became an outlaw. The day of her wedding, 17 year old Adas life looks good; she loves her husband, and she loves working as an apprentice to her mother, a respected midwife. But after a year of marriage and no pregnancy, in a town where barren women are routinely hanged as witches, her survival depends on leaving behind everything she knows. She joins up with the notorious Hole in the Wall Gang, a band of outlaws led by a preacher-turned-robber known to all as the Kid. Charismatic, grandiose, and mercurial, the Kid is determined to create a safe haven for outcast women. But to make this dream a reality, the Gang hatches a treacherous plan that may get them all killed. And Ada must decide whether shes willing to risk her life for the possibility of a new kind of future for them all.Featuring an irresistibly no-nonsense, courageous, and determined heroine, Outlawed dusts off the myth of the old West and reignites the glimmering promise of the frontier with an entirely new set of feminist stakes. Anna North has crafted a pulse-racing, page-turning saga about the search for hope in the wake of death, and for truth in a climate of small-mindedness and fear. Review “Outlawed stirs up the western with a provocative blend of alt-history and feminist consciousness. The result is a thrilling tale eerily familiar but utterly transformed . . . In Norths galloping prose, its a fantastically cinematic adventure that turns the sexual politics of the Old West inside out.” Ron Charles, Washington Post, Best of the Year“Anna North presents a far different perspective on the [Western] genre, one forged by women, Black and nonbinary people looking for the freedom, space and right to exist in a world that largely doesnt want them . . . The vividness with which she writes this world is one thats captivating and hard to put down.” USA Today, “Best New Books”“Fans of Margaret Atwoods The Handmaids Tale are in for a stellar ride where gender roles, sexuality, agency, and self-discovery come together, making Norths story as experimental and novel as it is classic.” Boston Globe“The heroes of the traditional Western were always sure about what made them the way they were; what made a man a man. For Ada and the other outlaws of this spirited novel, the frontiers of gender and sexuality beckon to be explored.” Maureen Corrigan, NPR, Books We Love“Virtuosic.” The New Yorker“From the author of the Lambda Literary Award-winning The Life and Death of Sophie Stark comes an alt-history feminist western . . . Think Foxfire by way of Maddie from True Grit, yet Norths swashbuckling saga is wholly her own.” O, the Oprah Magazine, Best LGBTQ Books of 2021“A thoroughly gripping, genre-subverting and -defining marvel of a novel.” Refinery29, “Most Anticipated Books of 2021”“2021 is already a year that could use a little joy. Here to provide some is the scrappy new feminist Western novel Outlawed . . . Its an absolute romp and contains basically everything I want in a book: witchy nuns, heists, a marriage of convenience, and a midwife trying to build a bomb out of horse dung.” Vox“This book has me, and you shoul...

-Titulo Original : Beheld-Fabricante : Bloomsbury Publishing-Descripcion Original: A Publishers Weekly Best Fiction Book of 2020Most Anticipated Books of 2020 - Vogue, Medium, LitHubFrom the bestselling author of The Wives of Los Alamos comes the riveting story of a strangers arrival in the fledgling colony of Plymouth, Massachusetts-and a crime that shakes the divided community to its core.Ten years after the Mayflower pilgrims arrived on rocky, unfamiliar soil, Plymouth is not the land its residents had imagined. Seemingly established on a dream of religious freedom, in reality the town is led by fervent puritans who prohibit the residents from living, trading, and worshipping as they choose. By the time an unfamiliar ship, bearing new colonists, appears on the horizon one summer morning, Anglican outsiders have had enough.With gripping, immersive details and exquisite prose, TaraShea Nesbit reframes the story of the pilgrims in the previously unheard voices of two women of very different status and means. She evokes a vivid, ominous Plymouth, populated by famous and unknown characters alike, each with conflicting desires and questionable behavior. Suspenseful and beautifully wrought, Beheld is about a murder and a trial, and the motivations-personal and political-that cause people to act in unsavory ways. It is also an intimate portrait of love, motherhood, and friendship that asks: Whose stories get told over time, who gets believed-and subsequently, who gets punished? Review “In this plain-spoken and lovingly detailed historical novel, the story of the Mayflower Pilgrims and Plymouth Colony is refracted through the prism of female characters. Despite the novels quietness of telling, its currency is the human capacity for cruelty and subjugation, of pretty much everyone by pretty much everyone.” New York Times Book Review Editors Choice“I have been waiting for this book. But Im not alone. There has been a sort of impatience and delicious anticipation felt by those waiting to be inside TaraShea Nesbits much talked about Beheld.” Sarah Jessica Parker, via “A compelling exploration of friendship, character and the personal and political motivations that determine whose stories get told and whose voices are silenced.” Los Angeles Times, Books to Read to Study the Divided Nation“A compelling new novel by TaraShea Nesbit, author of The Wives of Los Alamos, explores not only the dangers the first colonists confronted on arrival, but those they brought with them … Beheld disrupts expectation to render the pulsing messy lives of those too often calcified in myth.” USA Today“There is a contradiction underpinning the whole project of English imperialism, and Nesbit flags it perfectly . . . The novel is most successful where it allows itself to stray from historical fact and plot--to invent and to play with language, to give itself imaginative time and space. Nesbit is brilliant in those moments, and captures a paradox of historical writing--that its in the invention and improvisation that the past feels most pressing and most real.” New York Times“In a gripping retelling of the Plymouth colonys first murder, we finally hear the voices of women--and they speak an unvarnished truth that turns history on its pointy-hatted head. Truly a riveting read.” Helen Simonson, author of MAJOR PETTIGREWS LAST STAND and THE SUMMER BEFORE THE WAR“TaraShea Nesbits puritans are passionate and vengeful and entrancing. Part mystery, part love story, beautifully told and meticulously researched, Beheld reanimates and complicates the mythologies of Americas earliest settlers. I was sad when it ended.” Anton DiSclafani, author of THE YONAHLOSSEE RIDING CAMP FOR GIRLS“Beheld breathes fresh life into a world grown still and murky beneath the scrim of legend--rife with intrigue, fractured by difference, marked by violence, and full of haunting images. With gorgeous, period-inflected prose, Nesbit takes us back to the earliest days of New England to look through the eyes and over ...

-Titulo Original : A Brief History Of Motion From The Wheel, To The Car, To What Comes Next-Fabricante : Bloomsbury Publishing-Descripcion Original: From the bestselling author of A History of the World in 6 Glasses, an eye-opening road trip through 5,500 years of humans on the go, revealing how transportation inevitably shapes civilization. Tom Standages fleet-footed and surprising global histories have delighted readers and cemented his reputation as one of our leading interpreters of technologies past and present. Now, he returns with a provocative account of a sometimes-overlooked form of technology-personal transportation-and explores how it has shaped societies and cultures over millennia.Beginning around 3,500 BCE with the wheel--a device that didnt catch on until a couple thousand years after its invention--Standage zips through the eras of horsepower, trains, and bicycles, revealing how each successive mode of transit embedded itself in the world we live in, from the geography of our cities to our experience of time to our notions of gender. Then, delving into the history of the automobiles development, Standage explores the social resistance to cars and the upheaval that their widespread adoption required. Cars changed how the world was administered, laid out, and policed, how it looked, sounded, and smelled--and not always in the ways we might have preferred. Today--after the explosive growth of ride-sharing and years of breathless predictions about autonomous vehicles--the social transformations spurred by coronavirus and overshadowed by climate change create a unique opportunity to critically reexamine our relationship to the car. With A Brief History of Motion, Standage overturns myths, considers roads not taken, and invites us to look at our past with fresh eyes so we can create the future we want to see. Review Eminently readable . . . Standage writes with a masterly clarity. New York Times Book Review (Editors Choice)Rewarding: the product of deep research, great intelligence and burnished prose . . . An unusually astute futurist, Mr. Standage offers observations about where we are now and where we might be heading that should be taken seriously . . . It is rare that I encounter a nonfiction author whose prose is so elegant that it is worth reading for itself. Mr. Standage is a writer of this class. The Wall Street Journal“Tom Standage has a gift for explaining how our modern world came to be and might evolve. In A Brief History of Motion, his skills as a historian and his trademark insight and wit shine in a way that will make your mind whir every time you hop on a bike or get behind the wheel of a car. This book is full of surprises and an absolute delight.” Ashlee Vance, New York Times-bestselling author of ELON MUSK“Perceptive, pragmatic, but never pedestrian, this is an irrepressible survey of how weve travelled through the ages, and it zips along like the most pleasurable of journeys.” Simon Garfield, New York Times-bestselling author of JUST MY TYPE and ON THE MAP“On the past, present, and future of transportation, Tom Standage has crafted the book to read, full of anecdote and keen observation, and seamlessly written.” Tyler Cowen, Professor of Economics, George Mason University, and New York Times-bestselling author of THE GREAT STAGNATION and AVERAGE IS OVER“Tom Standage takes us on a quick spin, from no wheels for anybody to nobody at the wheel-much of it over back roads that were entirely new to me.” George Dyson, author of TURINGS CATHEDRAL and ANALOGIA“A witty, expansive, evolutionary look at transportation history . . . Standage nimbly touches all the bases in this sprightly historical race.” Kirkus Reviews“Standage . . . delivers a brisk and entertaining history of personal transportation . . . Full of easy-to-understand history lessons and technical explanations, this is a well-informed look at how innovation, when properly guided, can pave the way to a brighter future.” Publishers Weekly“There arent many books this entertaining that also provide a cogent crash course in ancient, class...
