Inside Youth Sports
Discover what every athlete—and parent— needs to know about the youth sports industrial complex, from training and injuries to developing bodies and navigating league politics, through the eyes of a father-daughter team that has been in your shoes. Over the last two decades, the youth sports market has quietly risen from a cottage industry to one with a valuation of nearly $40 billion. While the industry thrives on the aspirations of children – and their parents – towards college scholarships, it is well-known that reaching that level is rare. Organized sports benefit individuals and society in a myriad of ways, yet youth athletes and their parents often struggle with the financial, physical, and personal costs provided by well-meaning yet misguided influencers in the space. Inside Youth Sports is an in-depth dive into youth sports, the playing experience, and the science behind the muscles, mechanics, and minds of developing kids. Featuring alternating narratives between Buel D. Rodgers – an international leader in the field of muscle biology – and his daughter, Meilani – an elite youth athlete who competed at the national level in soccer and track – this instructive and insightful guide explores the physiology and psychology of child and adolescent athletes, how youth athletes manage the emotional burden and individual challenges of competition as well as the people, places and market surrounding play. Complex biological processes like puberty, the biology of gender, muscle and exercise physiology as well as rehabilitation myths and mythologies are carefully and tactfully detailed for a broad lay audience. Detailed interviews with legendary coaches Anson Dorrance and Geno Auriemma, the winningest soccer and basketball coaches in NCAA history, offer further strategies for parents and players alike. For every parent, coach and athlete looking for a more scientific understanding of growing bodies, injuries, the far-reaching benefits of sport and its impact on our psyches, coaching philosophies, and how to navigate the often-complicated interpersonal world of youth sports, Inside Youth Sports is an invaluable guide.

Daybreak Birdsong Always Wakes Him
A haunting reimagining of Billy the Kid—myth, violence, and regret collide in a lyrical coming-of-age story woven with history, legend, and the omnipresence of birds. Daybreak Birdsong Always Wakes Him: The Lives of Billy the Kid by Pamela Ryder is a coming-of-age saga like no other. It reaches beyond the myth of the reckless and romantic rebel, the murdering gunslinger, and the scrappy outlaw. His story is one of survival, mayhem, and regret. Billy is portrayed as a complex and authentic figure. At times he is ruthless, often sympathetic, always clever and engaging. Yet he remains haunted by loneliness as he rides ever closer to the end of his short and violent life. The child of Irish immigrants, Billy came of age amid hardship and lawlessness, forced to navigate a world that offered him little mercy. From his grim childhood in the tenements of New York to the unforgiving deserts of New Mexico, his journey is marked by loss, chaos, and fleeting moments of grace. He was a boy who became an outlaw, forever running from his past toward an inevitable fate. Told through shifting perspectives and enriched by Billy's keen observations of birds, landscapes, and the lives he has taken, the novel unfolds in lyrical, unflinching prose. His fascination with birds, whose freedom stands in stark contrast to his own doomed flight, threads through the narrative. A meditation on myth, mortality, and the stories we tell about ourselves, Daybreak Birdsong Always Wakes Him is a singular reimagining of the American West. It does not flinch from the blood or the beauty of a life lived on the edge of history.
A Mood, A Thought, A Feeling
The first book from designer Huh is designed in three parts. Part one is an exploration of the seven moods that Huh deems essential to design: conviviality, peacefulness, joyful, cozy, verve, romantic, meaning. For example, convivial spaces are ones that feel buzzy, excited, and alive, like an artist s salon. Use lighting to draw people together and seating arrangements to connect. Peaceful interiors are refuges to be by yourself, with yourself, reading with a cup of tea on a rainy day, in a chair with a view of a forest, surrounded by warm, natural textures and quiet colors. Joyful rooms are effervescent and whimsical, with bright happy colors and wallpaper that makes you smile. Coziness is about creating safety and warmth, spaces that hold you tight and together, that encourage intimacy and depth and demarcate a transition from public to private. Rooms with verve are stylist and confident. They should feature daring, exciting choices to make people talk with a bold curation of objects and odd juxtapositions. Romantic is moody, nostalgic, filled with faded chintz, pretty vignettes, weathered and worn. Meaning is about incorporating the personal, the familial. Objects that carry stories are important here the heirlooms that tell us where we came from and who we are. Lovely curated bookcases and ephemera. Part two, A Thought, explores three full projects: two recently completed townhouses on the Upper West Side of Manhattan and in Brooklyn, as well as an elegant Park Avenue apartment. And part three of the book, A Feeling, features an immersive dive into Huh s recently completed country house upstate, from the pattern-filled rooms to the gardens and grounds, with seasonal entertaining stories.

Wild Folk
Wild Folk comprises seven richly illustrated fables of transformation and power, summoned from the ancient stones beneath our feet and transformed by word and image into portals between past and future. These tales from the stones are neither new nor old. They are full of wild folk , shape-shifting spirits that carry the energy that connects all things. You will meet selkies and silver trout and the black fox, as big as a wolf and so fast and cunning she drives the lord of the manor to madness and oblivion; the woman of flowers who is happier living as an owl; the boy who learns to feel the songs and stories of trees through his skin; Wayland, the smith who can hammer metal to such airy thinness he makes his own wings; and the great white raven, a bird so rare it awakens the king who sleeps beneath the stones of the wild west cliffs of Wales. This book brings together the words of Jackie Morris and the stained-glass paintings of Tamsin Abbott, but the stories come from both, a true collaboration born out of friendship and hope. These are tales to make you see, listen and most of all feel the wild magic that links stone, tree, fox and star.
Yasha's Amazin' Bar Mitzvah
It's 1986, and thirteen-year-old Yasha Reznik doesn’t understand why his parents moved them all from his Russian community of Brighton Beach to the suburbia of Rockwood, New Jersey. Sure, it may be their “American Dream,” but it’s not his. Yasha’s dream is to make it through his Bar Mitzvah, watch the New York Mets make it to the playoffs, and fit in at his new school. But fitting in may be harder than he thinks, when he’s one of only two Russian families in town and all the kids he meets keep calling him Drago (thanks Rocky movies), even after he starts going by “Jake” instead of “Yasha.” The only person who seems to really get him is Bernie, his pal from the senior citizen home where Yasha is doing community service for his Bar Mitzvah project. Then Bernie says his dream is also to see the Mets win the World Series. And Yasha may not know his Torah portion yet, or why he feels alone even with his new “friends,” but he does know one thing: somehow, someway, he’s going to get those tickets.
The Society of the Screen
How a lifelong engagement with experimental art informed the brilliant Czech-Brazilian philosopher Vilem Flusser s early vision of a world dominated by glowing screens. Predicting the importance of technology and images in the twenty-first century as early as the 1970s, Vilem Flusser warned, the basic structure of our thinking is about to experience a mutation. The bewitching images and screens that surround us could lead toward a centrally programmed, totalitarian society or another, better one characterized by dialogue and collaboration among humans and new forms of intelligence. In this book on the idiosyncratic and prescient Czech-Brazilian philosopher, art historian and critic Martha Schwendener explores the profound effect of art on Flusser s thought. The Society of the Screen reveals how Flusser s lifelong engagement with experimental practices from abstract painting and concrete poetry in Brazil to video, cybernetics, and photography in Europe and the United States as well as his extensive involvement with the Sao Paulo Biennial informed his belief that we were moving from history a civilization informed by linear writing into post-history, dominated by technical images. The book delves deeply into how Flusser s ideas evolved, particularly in correspondence and collaboration with artists like Mira Schendel, Fred Forest, Wen-Ying Tsai, Harun Farocki, Louis Bec, and Karl Gerstner.

Dear Memory
"Groundbreaking . . . Chang's lyrical experiment memorably evokes an individual family's time capsule and an artist's timeless yearning to shape carbon dust into incandescent gem." —NPRNow in paperback, from the poet who “resurrects mediums” (The Millions), a collection of literary letters and mementos on the art of remembering across generations. For Victoria Chang, memory “isn’t something that blooms, but something that bleeds internally.” It is willed, summoned, and dragged to the surface. The remembrances in this collection of letters are founded in the fragments of stories her mother shared reluctantly and in the silences of her father. They are whittled and sculpted from an archive of family relics: a marriage license, a letter, a visa petition, a photograph. And, just as often, they are built on questions that can no longer be answered. Dear Memory is not a transcription but a process of shaping and being shaped, knowing that when a writer dips their pen into history, what emerges is poetry. In letters to family, past teachers, fellow poets, and to the imagination itself, Victoria Chang offers a model for what it looks like to find ourselves in our histories.
Washington Is Burning
Washington Is Burning reveals the inner workings of Trump's Washington - a grotesque carnival of corruption. Andrew Cockburn sets fire to US pieties, focusing on the spectacular greed at the heart of the nation's political system.

Cockburn charts the connections between the American military bureaucracy and the defense industry, which have created a senseless drive for ever-greater spending on arms. After the failed adventures of Afghanistan and Iraq, the Pentagon now seeks fresh rewards through inflating the threat from China and Iran, deploying time-tested techniques to boost the budget, including the invocation of supposedly superior enemy weapons development. The American empire has reached a watershed. With Trump back in the White House, Washington Is Burning is a must-read account of unedifying practices in the US capital.

El Iluminado
In this entertaining, thought-provoking detective graphic novel set in Santa Fe, New Mexico, a fictional Ilan Stavans seeks to solve a murder and locate a lost manuscript by a prominent 16th-century Crypto-Jew burned at the stake by the Spanish Inquisition. When young Rolando Perez falls to his death from a cliff outside Santa Fe, New Mexico, the mysteries immediately begin to accumulate. Was he pushed or did he jump? What might Rolando have been so desperate to protect that he would sacrifice himself? And what does a colorful concha pastry have to do with any of thi? n the midst of the investigation, Professor Ilan Stavans arrives in Santa Fe to give a lecture about the area’s long-buried Jewish history. He’s looking forward to relaxing afterward with an evening at the opera, but his presentation on “crypto-Jews” attracts unexpected attention, and soon Ilan is drawn into a desperate race to find the long-lost documents that might hold the key to Rolando’s death. His amateur sleuthing leads him to taco joints, desert ranches, soaring cathedrals, and, finally, deep into the region’s past, where he encounters Luis de Carvajal, also called “El Iluminado.” In a sixteenth-century tale of martyrdom that eerily echoes Rolando’s, Carvajal fled Spain for colonial Mexico at the height of the Spanish Inquisition, searching for his religious heritage—a hunt for which he, like Rolando, would pay the ultimate price. In El Iluminado, esteemed literary critic Ilan Stavans and author and illustrator Steve Sheinkin present a secret history of religion in the Americas, showing how thousands of European refugees have left a trail of ghostly footprints—and troves of mysteries—across the American Southwest. This paperback edition includes a new afterword recounting the amazing events that occurred after the original publication, including the real-life discovery of the long-lost memoir of Luis de Carvajal and its restoration to Mexico.
