Famesick
In this rowdy, frank reflection on illness, fame, sex, and everything in between, the remarkable mind behind the hit series Girls and the bestselling author of Not That Kind of Girl asks whether fulfilling her creative ambitions has been worth the pain.
For the last decade, as she's spent countless hours in doctor's waiting rooms searching for diagnoses, treatments, and relief, being the owner and operator of Lena Dunham's body has felt, as she puts it, 'like towing a wrecked car across town at midnight.' It's not easy dragging a wrecked car anywhere, much less to the Met Gala while sewn into a gold lamé corset. Or to the set of the hit show that you - as a twenty-five-year-old - are writing, directing, producing, and starring in. Or to the White House, the Golden Globes, or your publicist's office to discuss the latest internet disaster. But Dunham does it - even if it means interminable hospital stays, vomiting in the bathroom when she's meant to be meeting Oprah, or terrifying those closest to her - because she can no longer tell the difference between fighting to do what she loves and being a servant to her own ambition. All the while, she is holding out for a love that can withstand her personal and public challenges and, more than anything, yearning to feel like herself again - if only she could remember who that self was.
As Dunham takes us through her journey, tracking her rise to fame - from selling the pilot of Girls to the present - in three acts, it becomes clear that the spotlight casts long shadows, distorting the relationships she once held dear and isolating everyone in its glare. When an endless supply of drugs can't protect you from pain - and begins to control your every move - being famous doesn't stand a chance against the darker corners of the human experience.
In Famesick, Dunham asks herself what the cost of fulfilling her dreams has really been, and whether it was worth it. What she finds is deeper than physical relief, and more lasting, as she learns to live with what she can't change and turn her regrets into wisdom that can carry her forward, as she reconnects to what, and who, she loves.

Chrysalis
Dive back into this wicked retelling of Goldilocks from bestselling author B.B. Reid: a dark and steamy why choose romance featuring America's sweetheart and three dangerous mountain men.
Aurelia George was prepared to let the world believe she was dead. Tangled in the arms of her mountain men and bound only by the rules they make, the twice-disgraced pop star had found her happily ever after.
Or so she thought.
The only thing surprising about learning her uncle wants her dead is realising how eager she is to return the favour. Convincing her mountain men to leave their world behind and step into hers won't be easy. Thorin is desperate to disappear again, Khalil is quietly drowning, and Zeke wants her gone.
For better or worse, this quartet of villains will have to leave their Eden.
And now that the tables have turned, Aurelia's the one they'll need to survive. But as she and the rest of the world are about to learn, you can take these men out of the wilds, but you can't take the wilds out of them.

The Civic Bargain
A powerful case for democracy and how it can adapt and survive—if we want it toIs democracy in trouble, perhaps even dying? Pundits say so, and polls show that most Americans believe that their country’s system of governance is being “tested” or is “under attack.” But is the future of democracy necessarily so dire? In The Civic Bargain, Brook Manville and Josiah Ober push back against the prevailing pessimism about the fate of democracy around the world. Instead of an epitaph for democracy, they offer a guide for democratic renewal, calling on citizens to recommit to a “civic bargain” with one another to guarantee civic rights of freedom, equality, and dignity. That bargain also requires them to fulfill the duties of democratic citizenship: governing themselves with no “boss” except one another, embracing compromise, treating each other as civic friends, and investing in civic education for each rising generation. Manville and Ober trace the long progression toward self-government through four key moments in democracy’s history: Classical Athens, Republican Rome, Great Britain’s constitutional monarchy, and America’s founding. Comparing what worked and what failed in each case, they draw out lessons for how modern democracies can survive and thrive. Manville and Ober show that democracy isn’t about getting everything we want; it’s about agreeing on a shared framework for pursuing our often conflicting aims. Crucially, citizens need to be able to compromise, and must not treat one another as political enemies. And we must accept imperfection; democracy is never finished but evolves and renews itself continually. As long as the civic bargain is maintained—through deliberation, bargaining, and compromise—democracy will live.

Confidence Men
Why do millions of Americans support a system that is making them poorer, sicker, and lesssecure every day? If modern capitalism routinely exploits working people, then why do so manyflock to its most reactionary defenders in personalities like Jordan Peterson, Elon Musk, andAndrew Tate? Or, as the philosopher Baruch Spinoza asked, why do we fight for slavery as if itwere our salvation? Confidence Men: The Duping of the American Mind provides a compellinganswer to those questions. Mere journalistic accounts of these hucksters have pointed out their many lies and inaccuracies,their personal failings and rank hypocrisy. Confidence Men does something different. Instead oftreating these sensational figures as individual bad actors, it identifies a common philosophythat animates them all. Each of them are, in their own ways, irrationalists – believing in thepower of a strong will to overcome ordinary reality (and ordinary people). Objective facts,nature, and even “human nature” melt away before the creative genius or the mystical hero. Today’s “confidence men” are the cheerleaders of hierarchy and domination, where thesupreme value is one of unhinged belief in oneself. As against reactionary forms of self-help,Confidence Men proposes a rationalist alternative – neither wishing our problems away, nor“manifesting” success – but instead, understanding the world so that we can change it for thebetter.

These Spaceships Weren't Built For Us
“Chazaro transforms the ranfla, the hooptie, and the G-ride into a spaceship, a time machine. He points our gaze to the sky and we long to take flight while simultaneously holding onto our roots and what keeps our feet on the ground."—Joseph Rios, Fresno Poet Laureate and author of Shadowboxing: Poems & ImpersonationsIn These Spaceships Weren’t Built For Us, Alan Chazaro launches a speculative, lyrical odyssey through Latinx identity, diaspora, and memory, where the immigrant experience becomes a poetic voyage, rooted in resistance, love, and the enduring pull of home. In his newest poetry collection, These Spaceships Weren’t Built For Us, Alan Chazaro reconsiders the possibilities of space travel as the son of Mexican immigrants while navigating daily life across rapidly shifting social spaces. From barren gas stations in Central California during the height of the pandemic to faraway jungle planets governed by paleteros, Chazaro imagines the present and future in ways that are simultaneously bleak and dire, hopeful and beautiful, and seemingly, impossibly unrealized.
The Firearm Revolution
A groundbreaking account of how firearms changed Europe and the worldIn Renaissance Italy, the gun was not only a tool of war but also a desirable object, a luxury item carried at court. Guns were in use on the battlefield by 1440; later in that century Leonardo da Vinci sketched a design for a faster-firing, more portable handgun that could be hidden beneath a cloak. As the gun proliferated in society, it became both a means of self-defence and a threat to civic order. In The Firearm Revolution, historian Catherine Fletcher explores the emergence of firearms in Renaissance Italy and beyond, describing the social transformations that accompanied the evolution of the handgun from innovative military technology to widely used personal accessory. Fletcher shows that as guns became smaller and the new wheellock mechanism made concealed carry possible, Italian states increasingly tried to control their use—even as they viewed firearms as necessary for their militias. In the end, Fletcher reports, the importance of civic defence trumped the concern for social order. As guns became ever more acceptable, stories of how firearms aided Europeans’ overseas conquests created a new and more positive image for a weapon once considered the devil’s work. Debates over the regulation of firearms five centuries ago—which included arguments over the restriction of gun ownership, the use of guns for self-defence and the regulation of an armed militia—in many ways anticipate discussions about gun control today. Fletcher’s groundbreaking account sheds new light on how governments weighed the competing priorities of defence and social order as they set out to build empires.
Secure
What’s the secret to finding success, happiness and love? You need to feel SECURE. ‘Psychiatrist Amir Levine gives us a set of tools to help us feel more secure in all our relationships, not just romantic ones, but with colleagues, friends, family and even with ourselves.’ PHILIPPA PERRY‘In a world where so many people feel disconnected, this book explains why that hurts so much and, more importantly, what we can actually do about it.’ RANGAN CHATTERJEE‘It’s so good . . . I’ve read it cover-to-cover, back-to-front, upside-down, inside-out: it's great.’ CHRIS EVANSHow do you become more connected to the people around you, without the fear of being hurt? How can you stop overthinking and letting your emotions impair your judgement? Is it possible to learn emotional resilience? People with a secure attachment style are the most comfortable not just in their relationships, but also in their own skin. Living life in ‘secure mode’ enables them to cope more effectively with challenges across many areas of life – they’re healthier, less reactive, less driven by insecurity, and better able to navigate setbacks and even social media. It is as though they move through the world with a kind of resilient bubble around them. But new research reveals that your attachment style isn’t fixed. Anyone can become SECURE. In Secure, Dr Amir Levine – multimillion-copy-bestselling author of Attached, and the world’s leading expert on the clinical application of attachment science – introduces a transformative framework feeling more secure in your career, your friendships, your romantic life and beyond. Along the way, he makes a simple, revolutionary argument: when you harness the power of secure mode, you can create the life you want. It’s never too late to become SECURE. This book will show you how. What readers are saying? 'A holy grail book . . . essential reading for anyone wanting to work on themself.'? 'For anyone who has ever felt stuck in patterns of anxiety, avoidance or disconnection, this book offers something genuinely hopeful . . . It is, in the best sense, a practical guide to flourishing.'? 'I'm blown away by the real-life pearls packed into it . . . I can’t recommend it enough!'? 'A rare and compelling combination of neuroscience and clinical practice that I could not put down . . . Will make any avoidant or anxious person feel less shame and more understood.' ? 'This book will change your life.'More praise for Secure:‘A groundbreaking roadmap to emotional resilience . . . Whether you’re anxious, avoidant, or somewhere in between, this book helps you to shift into “secure mode” and thrive.’ CHARLES DUHIGG, bestselling author of The Power of Habit 'A profound new model for creating real, lasting security in our patients and in ourselves.' LORI GOTTLIEB, bestselling author of Maybe You Should Talk to Someone‘A rare kind of guide: humane, hopeful, and immediately useful for anyone who wants to show up better for the people who matter most.’ AMY EDMONDSON, author of Right Kind of Wrong‘With science and compassion, Dr. Levine reveals the emotional grounding we need to live, work and lead with resilience. Secure offers a vital roadmap to the inner strength that makes sustainable success possible.’ ARIANNA HUFFINGTON, bestselling author of Thrive
Out of the depths
Available for the first time in English translation, this collection of songs is a powerful memorial to the victims of the Holocaust. In June 1945, before the full devastation of the Holocaust had emerged, a team of researchers embarked on a remarkable project. While documenting the experiences of Jewish refugees, they began to collect songs composed and sung in the Nazi camps and ghettos. The resulting book, Mima’amakim (Out of the depths), was published in a short run of 500 copies. Today, only a handful survive. Out of the depths: The first collection of Holocaust songs presents the contents of this extraordinary document for a new generation of readers. Based on a copy of Mima’amakim discovered in 2013, it contains not only the songs’ melodies and lyrics, the latter in a new translation by Joseph Toltz, but also short biographies of the composers, drawn from painstaking original research. Introductory essays provide historical and musicological background, deepening our knowledge of this terrible event and the creative means by which the Jewish people responded to and endured it. Described by the original editor, Yehuda Eismann, as a ‘memorial stone for Polish Jewry’, the songbook is a timeless document of a people’s despair, hope and strength. -- .
