*A GUARDIAN BOOK OF THE DAY*Humans, animals and disease. They re all inter-related, so why do we keep ignoring the elephant in the room?It s well known that Covid-19 may have come from a bat, but diseases are often transmitted in the other direction too. Humans have passed diseases to animals countless times through history, and it s the cross-currents of this relationship between humans, animals and disease that are explored by Liz Kalaugher in The Elephant in the Room. Taking the reader on a globe-trotting journey through time, Kalaugher presents a series of fascinating case histories of human-related wildlife diseases. Among the stories featured here are the early humans who may have carried pathogens responsible for the extinction of Neanderthals, the native birds of Hawaii that have been devasted by human-introduced disease, and the Tasmanian tiger that has been lost to the sands of time. Examining these tales and drawing on first-hand accounts from experts around the world, The Elephant in the Room is both a tragic history and an inspirational call to arms. It doesn t have to be this way. By learning from the past, it s possible to create a better, healthier environment for ourselves, our wildlife and our planet.

This gripping and darkly funny memoir ⠜is a testament to the undeniable, indestructible love between a mother and a daughter⠝ (Isaac Mizrahi).Liz Scheier⠙s mother was a news junkie, a hilarious storyteller, a fast-talking charmer you couldn⠙t look away from, a single mother whose devotion crossed the line into obsession, and⠔when in the grips of the mental illness that plagued her⠔a masterful liar. On an otherwise uneventful afternoon when Scheier was eighteen, her mother sauntered into the room and dropped two bombshells. First, that she had been married for most of the previous two decades to a man Liz had never heard of and, second, that the man she had claimed was Liz⠙s dead father was entirely fictional. She⠙d made him up⠔his name, the stories, everything.Those big lies were the start, but not the end; it had taken dozens of smaller lies to support them, and by the time she was done she had built a fairy-tale, half-true life for the two of them. Judith Scheier⠙s charm was more than matched by her eccentricity, and Liz had always known there was something wrong in their home. After all, other mothers didn⠙t raise a child single-handedly with no visible source of income, or hide their children behind fake Social Security numbers, or host giant parties in a one-bedroom Manhattan apartment only to throw raging tantrums when the door closed behind the guests. Now, decades later, armed with clues to her father⠙s identity⠔and as her mother⠙s worsening dementia reveals truths she never intended to share⠔Liz attempts to uncover the real answers to the mysteries underpinning her childhood. Trying to construct a ⠜normal⠝ life out of decidedly abnormal roots, she navigates her own circuitous path to adulthood: a bizarre breakup, an unexpected romance, and the birth of her son and daughter. Along the way, Liz wrestles with questions of what we owe our parents even when they fail us, and of how to share her mother⠙s hilarity, limitless love, and creativity with children⠔without passing down the trauma of her mental illness. Never Simple is the story of enduring the legacy of a hard-to-love parent with compassion, humor, and, ultimately, self-preservation.

A singular portrait of intoxicating young love AUBE REY LESCURE You wouldn t be able to put it down SAMANTHA ROSE HILLFor years after I tried to tell myself that what happened between us was hardly worth remembering. Harvard, 1996. Anna is about to graduate when she meets Christoph, a German student visiting campus. They only spend a week together â “ discussing art, ideas and history â “ but it is long enough for Anna to fall desperately in love. Anna begins to visit Christoph in Germany. As she tries to understand the young, elegant man who fascinates her, he reveals his country to her. Germany is still reckoning with the Holocaust and its pretty new squares and grand facades belie its recent history and the warâ ™s destruction. Christoph condemns his countryâ ™s actions but remains vague about the part his own grandparents played. Annaâ ™s grandfather, meanwhile, was an American GI who took photos of the end of the war, photos that capture its horror, preserved in a scrapbook only Anna has seen. Anna wants to believe in Christoph and the future he promises her but as their relationship becomes increasingly unsettling, she must face up to everything she has been unwilling to see, and everything Christoph has chosen to ignore. An elegant, unsettling novel about the burden of history and the illusions of love Sana Krasikov, author of The Patriots Heather Clark writes with a rare empathy Times Literary Supplement

Auster s tale of obsession from the author of contemporary classic The New York Trilogy: a literary voice for the ages (Guardian)The Book of Illusions, written with breath-taking urgency and precision, plunges the reader into a universe in which the comic and the tragic, the real and the imagined, and the violent and the tender dissolve into one another.One man s obsession with the mysterious life of a silent film star takes him on a journey into a shadow-world of lies, illusions, and unexpected love. After losing his wife and young sons in a plane crash, Vermont professor David Zimmer spends his waking hours mired in grief. Then, watching television one night, he stumbles upon a lost film by silent comedian Hector Mann, and remembers how to laugh . . .Mann was a comic genius, in trademark white suit and fluttering black moustache. But one morning in 1929 he walked out of his house and was never heard from again. Zimmer s obsession with Mann drives him to publish a study of his work; whereupon he receives a letter postmarked New Mexico, supposedly written by Mann s wife, and inviting him to visit the great Mann himself. Can Hector Mann be alive? Zimmer cannot decide - until a strange woman appears on his doorstep and makes the decision for him, changing his life forever. A nearly flawless work . . . Auster will be remembered as one of the great writers of our time. San Francisco Chronicle Auster s elegant, finely calibrated The Book of Illusions is a haunting feat of intellectual gamesmanship.

Prepare to be amazed! Inside the covers of this incredible, colorful collection are hundreds of the world’s most powerful optical illusions. They’re beautiful to behold, and stunning in their trickery. Some of the mind-boggling images seem to spring into action, vibrating, pulsing, and spinning like a hula hoop. Other ambiguous illusions feature two subjects in one: the fun is in finding them both in the single picture—including a mouse playing hide and seek in a cat’s face and a strange desert mirage where palm trees imperceptibly morph into camels. And still more, like “The Impossible Terrace,” which couldn’t exist off the page: just try to figure out if you’re viewing the space from above or below. Every one is astonishing.
