From New York Times bestselling author Naomi Wolf, Facing the Beast is a devastating, detailed account of wrongthink, deplatforming, and an unexpected political, personal, and spiritual transformation that followed during one of the most divisive times in American history.In this uncompromising investigation into today’s most urgent issues, Naomi Wolf uses her own wildly politicized pilgrimage—from New York Times bestselling author and high-level Democratic consultant to a journalist cast out from the elite political and social circles she once moved through—as a stunning narrative framework that is both chilling and incisive.Wolf’s sin? Doing the job that good journalists once prided themselves on: asking questions, challenging authority, and, during one of the most politically divisive moments in modern history, exposing the many failures of the public health response during the COVID-19 pandemic by chronicling the dangerous descent of our democracy into tyranny, censorship, and totalitarianism.Unable to remain silent in the shadows and unwilling to collude with the mainstream, Wolf bravely covers topics that few other writers dare to address critically for fear of being deplatformed. Facing the Beast explores reproductive rights, medical freedom, the uncurious thought-policing of the “progressive” left, the Second Amendment, the criminal relationship between the FDA and Pfizer—Wolf’s clear writing repeatedly shines light in the dark corners of our fractured society.A decades-long champion of free speech, freedom of the press, and the Constitution, Wolf found herself not only in the midst of a political rebirth but a spiritual transformation as well—one in which the events of the day could only be described in terms of good, evil, and a metaphysical quest on the nature of reality.For readers of Matt Taibbi, Glenn Greenwald, and Bari Weiss, Facing the Beast is a fearless indictment of legacy media and the political class, as well as a brutal reminder that searching for and defending the truth can be dangerous.“Naomi Wolf is one of the bravest, clearest-thinking people I know. The reason you hear the forces of repression so desperately trying to dismiss her is because she is right.”—Tucker Carlson

PRE-ORDER NOW!Somewhere out there, in the darkness, a black wolf is feeding.Several weeks ago, Chief Inspector Armand Gamache of the Sûreté du Québec and his team uncovered and stopped a domestic terrorist attack in Montréal, arresting the person behind it. A man they called the Black Wolf.But their relief is short-lived. In a sickening turn of events, Gamache has realized that plot, as horrific as it was, was just the beginning. Perhaps even a deliberate misdirection. One he fell into. Something deeper and darker, more damaging, is planned. Did he in fact arrest the Black Wolf, or are they still out there?

He must be careful not to let the Black Wolf know he has recognized his mistake. In a quiet church basement, he and his senior agents Beauvoir and Lacoste, pore over what little evidence they have. Two notebooks. A few mysterious numbers on a tattered map of Québec. And a phrase repeated by the person they had called the Grey Wolf. A warning...In a dry and parched land where there is no water.Gamache and his small team of supporters realize that for the Black Wolf to have gotten this far, they must have powerful allies, in law enforcement, in industry, in organized crime, in the halls of government.From the apparent peace of his little village, Gamache finds himself playing a lethal game of cat and mouse with an invisible foe who is gathering forces and preparing to strike.

Dorothy, a ropedancer and palmist, arrives at the Château de Roborey with her travelling circus, made up of motley crew of war orphans and notices strange excavations at the grounds. As a long day ends, Dorothy grows worried about her friend Saint-Quentin a young boy with a passion for adventure and a penchant for getting into trouble. Dorothy sets out to hunt for Quentin. Remembering the castle they had recently discovered, and recalling that it had fascinated Saint-Quentin who had wanted to break in, Dorothy makes her way to a rocky outcrop surrounding the rampart, where she discovers a lurking figure. She quickly hides and observes as he furtively opens up a secret passage into a hidden lair. Just then, she sees Saint-Quentin climb out of a castle window, which the man also sees and aims a rifle at Saint-Quentin, forcing Dorothy to rush out and save Saint-Quentin's life, and is now plunged headlong into mystery and adventure. The ensuing mystery involves the lord and lady of the Chateau de Roborey, a family secret involving Dorothy herself, a quest for long-lost ancestral treasure and a name from the distant past but Dorothy's new-found nemesis is always close on her trail. The Secret Tomb was released in 1923. Although Arsène Lupin does not feature in the book, this adventure novel, is set in the world of Lupin (Cagliostro). The main character Dorothée solves one of Lupin's four fabulous secrets and hence The Secret Tomb is considered the twelfth novel in the Arsene Lupin series of books by French author Maurice Leblanc. This yellowback reissues all fourteen of leblanc's Lupin adventures available in English. Lupin's four fabulous secrets are what he learns from Josephine, the four fabulous secrets of Queen Marie-Antoinette and Cagliostro: 1) ALCOR, or the Seven-Armed Candlestick; 2) The Hollow Needle; 3) The God-Stone of the King of Bohemia; and 4) In Robore Fortuna (La Comtesse de Cagliostro).

From the South Bronx projects to the boardroom at only nineteen years old, Cin Fabré ran with the wolves of Wall Street.Growing up, Cin Fabré didn''t know anything about the stock market. But she learned how to hustle from her immigrant parents, saving money so that one day she could escape her abusive father and poverty in the Bronx.Through a tip from a friend, Cin pushed her way into brokerage firm VTR Capital, an offshoot of Stratton Oakmont, the company where the Wolf of Wall Street, Jordan Belfort, had reigned. She was shocked to find an army of young workers - mostly Black and Brown - with no real prospects for promotion, sitting at phones doing the drudge work of finding investment leads for white male brokers. But she knew she would do whatever she had to be successful.Pulling back the curtain, Wolf Hustle reveals how Cin worked gruelling hours, ascending from cold caller to stockbroker, becoming the only Black woman to do so at her firm. She discloses the excesses of 1990s Wall Street - the strip clubs, the Hamptons parties, the Gucci shopping sprees - while revelling in the thrill of making money.From landing clients worth hundreds of millions to gaining, losing, then gaining back fortunes in seconds, Cin examines her years trading frantically and hustling successfully, grappling with what it takes to build a rich life, and, ultimately, beating Wall Street at its own game.''A stark exposé of Wall Street''s corrupt underside and an inspiring story of overcoming adversity'' Kirkus''As memorable as it is inspiring'' Publisher''s Weekly ''A stark exposé of Wall Street''s corrupt underside and an inspiring story of overcoming adversity'' Kirkus''What an amazing voice!

They broke down the doors of Wall Street''s old boys'' club, finding their first foothold in small brokerage houses before making their way into investment banks and exchange floors.With a thick skin and a dash of humour, as needed, they pushed back against those who said they did not belong.Until they finally made it.Introducing the Women of Wall Street . . . First came the secretaries who struggled to get past the typing pool. Then came the first Harvard Business School grads who were laughed out of interviews. But by the 1980s, with markets in turbo-drive, women were playing for high stakes in Wall Street''s bad-boy culture by day and clubbing by night.In She Wolves, award-winning historian Paulina Bren tells the inside story of how women infiltrated Wall Street, from the swinging sixties - a time when ''No Ladies'' signs hung across the doors of its luncheon clubs and (more discretely) inside its brokerage houses and investment banks - up to 9/11. If the wolves of Wall Street made a show of their ferocity, the she wolves did so with subtlety and finesse, navigating a bawdy subculture where unapologetic sexism and racism were the norm. As engaging as it is enraging, She Wolves is a fascinating behind-the-scenes deep dive into the collision of women, finance and New York. ''Vivid . . .

Explores iconic works from The Cat in the Hat to The Twilight Zone to explain cultural trends in parenting and how we conceptualize childhood The 60s produced a Baby Boom generation that catalyzed the dawn of a new era—the space age, the age of television, the global age, and the beginnings of civil rights. At the same time, a new paradigm for parenting was unfolding that put emphasis on permissiveness, defined by what it permitted – the free and unfettered impulses of children. Others worried that the wildness of children, personified by the characters in Maurice Sendak's 1963 classic children's book, Where the Wild Things Are, was destructive, disruptive and disrespectful. Where the Wild Things Were centers on the exploding, contentious national conversation about the nature of childhood and parenting in the postwar US emblematized by Dr. Spock's Baby and Child Care. Renowned scholar Henry Jenkins demonstrates that the language that shaped a growing field of advice literature for parents also informed the period's fictions—in film, television, comics, children's books, and elsewhere—produced for and consumed by children. In particular, Jenkins demonstrates, the era's emblematic child was the boy in the striped shirt: white, male, suburban, middle class, Christian, and above all, American. Weaving together intellectual histories and popular texts, Jenkins shows how boy protagonists became embodiments of permissive child rearing, as well as the social ideals and contradictions that permissiveness entailed. From Peanuts comic strips and TV specials to The Cat in the Hat, Dennis the Menace, and Jonny Quest, the book reveals how childhood and the stories about it became central to Cold War concerns with democracy, citizenship, globalization, the space race, science, race relations, gender, and sexuality. Written by a former boy in a striped shirt, Where the Wild Things Were explores iconic works, from Mary Poppins to Lost in Space, contextualizing them through a critical but respectful engagement with the core animating ideas of the permissive imagination.
