Railroaded


The New York City subway system is one of the largest and oldest in the world, still carrying traces of the transport systems that came before it. Some of its elevated tracks are remnants of steam railroads, and some tunnels run where canoes served as ferries. For passengers, riding the subway can feel like stepping into another world, dark and dank and sometimes dangerous. Now just imagine what it's like to work there every day. One of the few subway workers who went on to earn a PhD from Harvard, historian Fred Naiden gives readers a firsthand look at what it was like to work as a subway porter, a motorman, and a locomotive engineer during the 1980s. He recounts the labor activism of his fellow MTA employees, who advocated for better conditions, higher pay, and less institutional racism. He also shares wild stories about the riders he encountered, from a homeless former realtor who worked as a mob frontman to an angry passenger who pulled a gun on him while the train was stuck at a stop signal. Above all, Railroaded will answer many questions about the New York subway system, including how it could be improved.

Zokology


Like it or not, playing golf will pull you inside out and expose your soul - and there''s no place to hide. Zokology isn''t just a book about golf. It''s about learning to think when the way you''ve always thought is no longer working. And for Dick Zokol, that meant learning how to navigate the noise in his head and figuring out how to survive on the PGA Tour. Zokol''s Cinderella story began when he ''walked on'' the Brigham Young University golf team. Four years later, he captained BYU to victory in the NCAA Championship. Later that summer he won the Canadian Amateur and got through the notorious PGA Tour Q-School. But the fairy tale ended and Zokol struggled as a rookie on the PGA tour. Dealing with intense anxiety, expectations, and feeling he didn''t belong, he battled the loneliness of life on the road. He was soon desperately searching for something that would help him find solid ground. From here, Zokol opens up about the real stuff - the mental and emotional toil that defined his 22 years on the PGA Tour. His two wins on the PGA Tour, both in 1992 were evidence his path had taken hold. In his career, Zokol played over 450 Tour events and learned success wasn''t about the golf swing - success and failure are about your mind. Employing a thought-protocol can get you through those difficult situations. Zokology is raw, real, and sometimes uncomfortable. It''s a guide for when you get off track - on the course or just in your own mind.

Ross's epic journey takes him to Elvis Presley's Graceland estate in Memphis, Cadillac Ranch in Amarillo and ultimately a Native American sweat lodge ceremony in Santa Fe.

Metamorphosis


'Beautiful. Entertaining. Inspiring.' Nature'Startling . . . riveting . . . hauntingly timely.' Washington Review of Books'A meditation on transformation . . . Warm [and] empathetic . . . wonderful.' Science'Startling . . . astounding . . . Animated by wonder.' MIT's UndarkMetamorphosis has always been one of biology's greatest wonders and toughest riddles. To emerge a butterfly, a caterpillar dissolves inside its chrysalis and builds a brand new brain, wings and legs. Why all this destruction and remodelling? Why all this wasted energy and tim? ren Harman beautifully unfurls the untold story of metamorphosis across two millennia, asking why it has obsessed and inspired us so profoundly. Along the way we meet poets, artists, philosophers, and a cast of scientists as colourful as the animals themselves: whether Aristotle determining cucumbers had souls, Sigmund Freud searching in vain for eel testicles, or a Japanese zoologist singing karaoke to a baby jellyfish. Taking us on an exhilarating journey through the creatures that metamorphose - a staggering three-quarters of all animal species - from starfish reproducing in reverse in ocean depths, to poison dart frogs on steaming rainforest canopies, to human adolescents struggling to control themselves, Metamorphosis is a new classic of natural history: a book that, by explaining a mystery of nature, causes us to relearn ourselves.
