NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The book that every parent, caregiver, and teacher needs to raise the next generation of antiracist thinkers, from the author of How to Be an Antiracist and recipient of the MacArthur “Genius” Grant. “Kendi’s latest . . . combines his personal experience as a parent with his scholarly expertise in showing how racism affects every step of a child’s life. . . . Like all his books, this one is accessible to everyone regardless of race or class.”—Los Angeles Times (Book Club Pick)ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: PopSugarThe tragedies and reckonings around racism that are rocking the country have created a specific crisis for parents, educators, and other caregivers: How do we talk to our children about racism? How do we teach children to be antiracist? How are kids at different ages experiencing race? How are racist structures impacting children? How can we inspire our children to avoid our mistakes, to be better, to make the world better? These are the questions Ibram X. Kendi found himself avoiding as he anticipated the birth of his first child. Like most parents or parents-to-be, he felt the reflex to not talk to his child about racism, which he feared would stain her innocence and steal away her joy. But research and experience changed his mind, and he realized that raising his child to be antiracist would actually protect his child, and preserve her innocence and joy. He realized that teaching students about the reality of racism and the myth of race provides a protective education in our diverse and unequal world. He realized that building antiracist societies safeguards all children from the harms of racism. Following the accessible genre of his internationally bestselling How to Be an Antiracist, Kendi combines a century of scientific research with a vulnerable and compelling personal narrative of his own journey as a parent and as a child in school. The chapters follow the stages of child development from pregnancy to toddler to schoolkid to teenager. It is never too early or late to start raising young people to be antiracist.

This important book “weaves lyrical storytelling and fascinating research into a compelling narrative” (San Francisco Chronicle) to look at dietary differences along class lines and nutritional disparities in America, illuminating exactly how inequality starts on the dinner plate. Inequality in America manifests in many ways, but perhaps nowhere more than in how we eat. From her years of field research, sociologist and ethnographer Priya Fielding-Singh brings us into the kitchens of dozens of families from varied educational, economic, and ethnoracial backgrounds to explore how—and why—we eat the way we do. We get to know four families intimately: the Bakers, a Black family living below the federal poverty line; the Williamses, a working-class white family just above it; the Ortegas, a middle-class Latinx family; and the Cains, an affluent white family. ​ Whether it #39;s worrying about how far pantry provisions can stretch or whether there #39;s enough time to get dinner on the table before soccer practice, all families have unique experiences that reveal their particular dietary constraints and challenges. By diving into the nuances of these families’ lives, Fielding-Singh lays bare the limits of efforts narrowly focused on improving families’ food access. Instead, she reveals how being rich or poor in America impacts something even more fundamental than the food families can afford: these experiences impact the very meaning of food itself. Packed with lyrical storytelling and groundbreaking research, as well as Fielding-Singh’s personal experiences with food as a biracial, South Asian American woman, How the Other Half Eats illuminates exactly how inequality starts on the dinner plate. Once you’ve taken a seat at tables across America, you’ll never think about class, food, and public health the same way again.

Space Baby asks difficult questions about the Earth, its beings, and what lies ahead for them; how do we look to the future on a planet thatâ ™s burning? How do we come to terms with our grief, and what can we believe in? If the human race destroys what we have, where will we go?In this dystopian, searching book, Evans mixes absurdity and wit with speculative, serious themes. Here, artificial intelligence and robots will â ˜cuddle you to sleepâ ™, the melting permafrost will reveal its surprises, and we encoutner the very first human baby born in space. Ultimately, Evans writes to acknowledge our responsibilities and interconnectedness with earth and all its lifeforms, as well as to our future generations. These are vivid, prescient poems of existence, and survival, which ask how we can still find joy on a ruined planet.

A fresh examination of political representation in an era of negative partisanship. What does representation look like when politicians focus on othering the opposing party rather than the policy interests of their constituents? How do voters react to negative partisan rhetoric? And is policy responsiveness still the cornerstone of American representative democracy? In How Politicians Polarize, Mia Costa draws on survey experiments, analysis of congressional newsletters and tweets, and data on fundraising and media coverage to examine how and why politicians rely so often on negative partisan attacks. Costa shows that most Americans do not like negative rhetoric, and politicians know this. Nonetheless, these kinds of attacks can reap powerful rewards from national media, donors, and party elites. Costaâ ™s findings challenge the popular notion that Americans are motivated more by their partisan identities than by policy representation. Her research illuminates how the political ecosystem rewards negative representation and how this affects the quality of American democracy.

George Monbiot is one of the most vocal, and eloquent, critics of the current consensus. How Did We Get into this Mess?, based on his powerful journalism, assesses the state we are now in: the devastation of the natural world, the crisis of inequality, the corporate takeover of nature, our obsessions with growth and profit and the decline of the political debate over what to do.While his diagnosis of the problems in front of us is clear-sighted and reasonable, he also develops solutions to challenge the politics of fear. How do we stand up to the powerful when they seem to have all the weapons? What can we do to prepare our children for an uncertain future? Controversial, clear but always rigorously argued, How Did We Get into this Mess? makes a persuasive case for change in our everyday lives, our politics and economics, the ways we treat each other and the natural world.

Do you need to quit golf? Take a short quiz! 1. Do you show your golf scorecards to, well, uh . . . anyone? 2. At dinner, do you find yourself practicing your grip on your utensils? (The Vs of the fork’s first tine, for the righthander, should point to the right shoulder.) 3. Look above you. Are there marks on the ceilings of your house because you can’t help but try to “bust one” even when you’re indoors and there is no ball? 4. Have you taken to reflexively calling your children “pards?” 5. Do other golf aphorisms make their way into your personal life? (Examples include finding your lost car keys and with a shrug saying, “Even a blind squirrel finds a nut now and again,” or feeding your actual dog and exhorting, “Time to let the big dog eat!”) 6. Does your dry cleaner, never having seen your swing but processing your bill, assume you are a golf pro? 7. Do you think of all spatial relationships in the real world in terms of golfing distance? (When parking at the mall and your wife suggests you are too far away, do you say, “What? It’s like a stock gap wedge to Panera from here.” When she disagrees, do you break out the Bushnell and shoot the store’s signage?)If you answered “Yes” to any of the above, you really, really need to quit golf. Danny Cahill will make you laugh and nod with recognition in his latest book (part social satire/ commentary; part clever psychological study) about the game of golf and its intoxicating hold on those who love it. A likeable middle-aged golfer (coping with the thought that everything is in decline at this time of life) has crossed over from healthy hobby to unmanageable obsession. He knows he should quit spending so much time working on his golf game. He knows his life at home is unraveling. But fully aware of just how much the game is laying waste to his powers, he nevertheless continues to count the hours to his next tee time. Cahill’s comic treatment of middle-age reckoning told through the lens of an obsessed golfer also takes a deep dive into the sport s eco system and its inherent appeal (and silliness?). Cahill’s acute powers of observation will impress as he unravels golf’s ability to entice like no other endeavor—and how to ultimately let go and preserve what matters. Any serious golfer will see themselves in Cahill’s hero—they ve thought his thoughts, shared his fears, and dealt with the effects on their family. The book will make golfers laugh, but also feel completely understood. The book explores the human need to find something that can still be improved, and through the prism of golf, examines the innate futility in trying to find meaning in a game that is, like the protagonist s life, both impossible to master and intermittently filled with joy and sorrow. Danny Cahill is the last guy to talk to about work-life balance. As a headhunter, he has built Hobson Associates into one of the country’s largest privately held search firms. His coaching and training company, according to Danny, is the largest in the staffing industry. His motivational speaking and career coaching earned him the industry’s highest honor, the NAPS Lifetime Achievement award. In his writing life, as a playwright, he has had works produced off Broadway and won both the Maxwell Anderson and CAB theatre awards. He is the author of the popular memoir, Aging Disgracefully, and Harper’s Rules, which won an Axiom award. He attributes his success, fledgling as it is, to a systematic, consistent, and disciplined . . . neglect of loved ones.

From TikTok star and the author of I Didn’t Know I Needed This Eli Rallo, a reflection on the anxiety of transitioning into adulthood, navigating the quarter-life crisis, and realizing you’re actually not alone. Does anyone else feel like they’re the only one having a quarter-life crisis? As a senior in college, Eli Rallo expected her post-grad years to be filled with certainty, that she would finally feel that she was the “adult” she had long dreamed she’d be, with a cool job, an amazing apartment, fabulous friends, and lots of fun and flirty date nights. Instead she was met with crippling social anxiety, no idea what direction her career was taking, an inability to stop comparing herself to her peers’ picture-perfect lives on social media, and a looming sense that she may never feel certain—about her dating life, friendships, career, or even herself. With deep honesty, raw emotions, humor, and relatability, Eli analyzes life in your twenties with a candid and heartfelt approach, asking and answering questions like: How do you manage losing a best friend? How do you know who you are or what you want to do with your life? How do you find time and space for all of your priorities? How do you navigate the choppy waters of the social media world, and not fall victim to the comparison game?What happens when the timeline you made for yourself as a child is long in your past?How do you know you’re making the right decisions? Even though early adulthood doesn’t look just like Sex and the City or Thirteen Going on Thirty the way Eli thought it would, with Does Anyone Else Feel This Way? Eli shows you that you’re not the only one who misses the days when they could swing by the dining hall or just wants to call their mom to make it all go away. With a look at her own misadventures and hard-won life lessons, Eli shares the journey she’s been on to find herself as an adult, and the twists and turns she’s taken while navigating her own quarter-life crisis.

The full inside story of the detection of gravitational waves at LIGO, one of the most ambitious feats in scientific history*Selected as a Book of the Year 2016 in the Sunday Times* This is empirical poetry. A fascinating tale of human curiosity beautifully told, and with black holes and lasers too Robin InceIn 1916 Albert Einstein predicted the existence of gravitational waves: miniscule ripples in the very fabric of spacetime generated by unfathomably powerful events. If such vibrations could somehow be recorded, we could observe our universe for the first time through sound: the hissing of the Big Bang, the low tones of merging galaxies, the drumbeat of two black holes collapsing into oneâ ¦ In 2016 a team of hundreds of scientists at work on a billion-dollar experiment made history when they announced the first ever detection of a gravitational wave, confirming Einsteinâ ™s prediction a century ago. Based on complete access to LIGO (Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory) and the scientists who created it, Black Hole Blues offers a first-hand account of this astonishing achievement: an intimate story of cutting-edge science at its most awe-inspiring and ambitious.
