A vibrant debut cookbook that answers the question, “What is Indian food in America?” Khushbu Shah is tired of hearing the same myths about Indian it’s too spicy, it’s too complicated, it’s all curry. Growing up in Michigan with immigrant parents, Shah would help her mother craft delicious, simple Indian dishes from ingredients available in middle America―Bisquick, ketchup, and even peanut butter.  Amrikan (how Desis say “American”) is the story of Indian food in America, with Shah its energetic translator. When it comes to cooking in the diaspora, adaptation is key. Shah’s recipes perfect beloved staples like creamy upma and crispy dosas and introduce third-culture comfort food like Makhani Mac and Cheese and Mango Pie with a graham-cracker crust. And Shah makes it easy to dive in, equipping home chefs with numerous ways to use pantry staples like lentils and instant noodles. Packed with vivid color photographs,  Amrikan presents a deeply personal, comprehensive, and exciting guide to Indian American cooking. 100 color photos

"Can birds smell?" "Is this the same cardinal that was at my feeder last year?" "Do robins 'hear' worms?" In What It's Like to Be a Bird, David Sibley answers the most frequently asked questions about the birds we see most often. This special, large-format volume is geared as much to nonbirders as it is to the out-and-out obsessed, covering more than two hundred species and including more than 330 new illustrations by the author. While its focus is on familiar backyard birds--blue jays, nuthatches, chickadees--it also examines certain species that can be fairly easily observed, such as the seashore-dwelling Atlantic puffin. David Sibley's exacting artwork and wide-ranging expertise bring observed behaviors vividly to life. (For most species, the primary illustration is reproduced life-sized.) And while the text is aimed at adults--including fascinating new scientific research on the myriad ways birds have adapted to environmental changes--it is nontechnical, making it the perfect occasion for parents and grandparents to share their love of birds with young children, who will delight in the big, full-color illustrations of birds in action. Unlike any other book he has written, What It's Like to Be a Bird is poised to bring a whole new audience to David Sibley's world of birds.

In Tenements, Towers & Trash, Julia Wertz takes us behind the New York that you think you know. Not the tourist's New York-the Statue of Liberty makes a brief appearance and the Empire State Building not at all-but the guts, the underbelly, of this city that never sleeps. With drawings and comics in her signature style, Wertz regales us with streetscapes "Then and Now" and little-known tales, such as the lost history of Kim's Video, the complicated and unresolved business of Ray's Pizza, the vintage trash and horse bones that litter the shore of Brooklyn's Bottle Beach, the ludicrous pinball prohibition, Staten Island's secret abandoned boatyard, and the hair-raising legend of the infamous abortionist of Fifth Avenue, Madame Restell. From bars, bakeries, and bookstores to food carts, street cleaners, and apartments both cramped and grand, Tenements, Towers & Trash is a wild ride in a time machine taxi from the present day city to bygone days of yore.

A dynamic re-envisioning of the tarot, including tarot card imagery, that describes how the tarot is queer, that the archetypes are alive, and that tarot doesn’t tell the future; it creates it.

Radical Tarot meets the tarot in a space of evolution, deconstruction, and creation, using the historical and common meanings of the cards as a launchpad for digging into limiting beliefs and societal conditioning and unlocking the personal truths beneath.

The Fool’s Journey is re-envisioned as a journey to non-binary thinking, the gender essentialism is ousted from the Major Arcana and the Court Cards—and all the cards—are reframed through a non-hierarchical, anti-capitalist, and intersectional lens. The archetypes are re-imagined in modern, progressive, and queered contexts. For


Radical Tarot also touches on Charlie’s personal story of how tarot helped them embrace their queerness, leave their marriage, and radically change their life. It speaks to their queer awakening and how tarot became, for them, a tool for social justice and conscious awareness of the world around them. Their words and experience will help anyone who wishes to be closer to their own authentic selves.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The Academy Award–winning director of Free Solo and National Geographic photographer presents the first collection of his iconic adventure photography, featuring some of the greatest moments of the most accomplished climbers and outdoor athletes in the world, and including more than 200 extraordinary photographs.
 
“An extraordinary work of art.”—Jon Krakauer

Filmmaker, photographer, and world-class mountaineer Jimmy Chin goes where few can follow to capture stunning images in death-defying situations. There and Back draws from his breathtaking portfolio of photographs, captured over twenty years during cutting-edge expeditions on all seven continents—from skiing Mount Everest, to an unsupported traverse of Tibet's Chang Tang Plateau on foot, to first ascents in Chad’s Ennedi Desert and Antarctica’s Queen Maud Land.

Along the way, Chin shares behind-the-scenes details about how he captured such astounding images in impossible conditions, and tells the stories of the legendary adventurers and remarkable athletes he has photographed, including Alex Honnold, the star of his Academy Award–winning documentary film Free Solo; ski mountaineer Kit DesLauriers; snowboarder Travis Rice; and mountaineers Conrad Anker and Yvon Chouinard. 

These larger-than-life images, coupled with stories of outsized drive and passion, of impossible goals with life or death stakes, of partnerships forged through incredible hardship, are sure to inspire wonder and awe.

这是饶平如一生的故事。
他不是一个想打仗的人，但他还是义无反顾去打仗了。又因为和美棠在一起，他最终厌倦了战争，想要回家。
六十年的相守历尽坎坷，命运让他们长久分离。好容易最后又在一起了，美棠却身患重病且渐渐失去记忆。
平如推掉了所有工作，全身心照顾妻子。每天5点起床，给她梳头、洗脸、烧饭、做腹部透析，每天4次，消毒、口罩、接管、接倒腹水、还要打胰岛素、做纪录，他不放心别人帮。
美棠在病痛中渐渐不再配合，不时动手拔身上的管子。耳朵不好，看字也不清楚了，平如就画这画劝她不要拉管子，但画也不管用，只能晚上不睡一整夜看着她，毕竟岁数大了，不能每天如此，还是只能绑住她的手。“她叫‘别绑我’，我听到很难过，怎么办……很痛苦。”
美棠犯糊涂越来越严重，有一天称丈夫将自己的孙女藏了起来，不让她见，平如怎么说她都不信。他已经八十多岁，坐在地上，嚎啕大哭。
她看着他哭，像看不见一样。
他们一生坎坷，到了暮年才有一个安定的居所，但是老病相催，她却已经到了生命的尽头。
当美棠最终离开后，平如画下了他和美棠的故事，留下了关于她和他们的最美好的回忆。
柴静曾在节目中问老爷爷：“您已经90岁了。难道这么长时间，没有把这个东西磨平了，磨淡了？”老爷爷回答说：“磨平？怎么讲能磨的平呢？爱这个世界是很久的，这个是永远的事情。”
老爷爷还说：如果能够年光倒流的话，我宁愿再回到从前那一段比较艰苦的时代，两个人相守。
这是普通人自己的故事。
只有如此平凡而美好的东西才能拥有长久的感动力量！

In this generation-defining self-help guide, a superstar blogger cuts through the crap to show us how to stop trying to be "positive" all the time so that we can truly become better, happier people.
For decades, we’ve been told that positive thinking is the key to a happy, rich life. "F**k positivity," Mark Manson says. "Let’s be honest, shit is f**ked and we have to live with it." In his wildly popular Internet blog, Manson doesn’t sugarcoat or equivocate. He tells it like it is—a dose of raw, refreshing, honest truth that is sorely lacking today. The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F**k is his antidote to the coddling, let’s-all-feel-good mindset that has infected modern society and spoiled a generation, rewarding them with gold medals just for showing up.
Manson makes the argument, backed both by academic research and well-timed poop jokes, that improving our lives hinges not on our ability to turn lemons into lemonade, but on learning to stomach lemons better. Human beings are flawed and limited—"not everybody can be extraordinary, there are winners and losers in society, and some of it is not fair or your fault." Manson advises us to get to know our limitations and accept them. Once we embrace our fears, faults, and uncertainties, once we stop running and avoiding and start confronting painful truths, we can begin to find the courage, perseverance, honesty, responsibility, curiosity, and forgiveness we seek.
There are only so many things we can give a f**k about so we need to figure out which ones really matter, Manson makes clear. While money is nice, caring about what you do with your life is better, because true wealth is about experience. A much-needed grab-you-by-the-shoulders-and-look-you-in-the-eye moment of real-talk, filled with entertaining stories and profane, ruthless humor, The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F**k is a refreshing slap for a generation to help them lead contented, grounded lives.

文明与病毒之间，只隔了一个航班的距离。
来自热带雨林的危险病毒，可在24小时内乘飞机抵达地球上的任何城市。航空线路连接了全世界的所有城市，构成网络。
埃博拉已经进入网络，开始环球旅行。
卡尔•约翰逊，埃博拉病毒的发现者之一，他在病毒探索史上是个大人物，发现并命名了地球上好几种最危险的病原体。
“大自然并不平静，我很高兴，”他这么说，“但在今天这样的日子里，咱们就当大自然很平静好了。所有怪物和猛兽都有平静的时刻。”
“扎伊尔当时发生了什么？”我问。
“我们抵达金沙萨的时候，那儿根本就是个疯人院，”他说，“我们知道那里的情况很糟糕，我们知道我们在和某种新病毒打交道。我们不知道它能不能像流感那样，通过空气中的悬浮液滴传播。假如埃博拉能轻易通过空气传播，今天的世界恐怕就大不一样了。”
“会怎么样？”
“人类会少很多。假如一种病毒与呼吸系统密切相关，那么你想控制住它就非常困难了。我心里想，假如埃博拉具备高致死率，又能通过液滴传播，那么全世界就不存在安全的地方了。与其在伦敦歌剧院被传染，还不如去爆发中心工作呢。”
“你担心那会是一次威胁整个人类的危机吗？”
他盯着我。“这话什么意思？”
“意思是一种能抹平人类的病毒。”
“唔，我想有这个可能性——当然到现在还没有出现。我并不担心那个。更有可能的是这种病毒有能力按比例减少人口。比方说百分之三十。百分之九十。”
“人类被杀死十分之九？你不担心？”
他脸上闪过一丝神秘的沉思表情。“假如一种病毒能减少一个物种的密度，那么这种病毒也许还是有用的。”
这就是大自然。仔细想一想，从河流到海洋，大自然充满了杀手。

When Mike Lewis was twenty-four and working in a prestigious corporate job, he eagerly wanted to leave and pursue his dream of becoming a professional squash player. But he had questions: When is the right time to move from work that is comfortable to a career you have only dared to dream of? How have other people made such a jump? What did they feel when making that jump―and afterward?
Mike sought guidance from others who had “jumped,” and the responses he got―from a banker who started a brewery, a publicist who became a Bishop, a garbage collector who became a furniture designer, and on and on―were so clear-eyed and inspiring that Mike wanted to share what he had learned with others who might be helped by those stories. First, though, he started playing squash professionally.
The right book at the right time, When to Jump offers more than forty heartening stories (from the founder of Bonobos, the author of The Big Short, the designer of the Lyft logo, the Humans of New York creator, and many more) and takeaways that will inspire, instruct, and reassure, including the ingenious four-phase Jump Curve.

In this timely manifesto, the authors of the New York Times bestseller Rework broadly reject the prevailing notion that long hours, aggressive hustle, and "whatever it takes" are required to run a successful business today.
In Rework, Jason Fried and David Heinemeier Hansson introduced a new path to working effectively. Now, they build on their message with a bold, iconoclastic strategy for creating the ideal company culture—what they call "the calm company." Their approach directly attack the chaos, anxiety, and stress that plagues millions of workplaces and hampers billions of workers every day.
Long hours, an excessive workload, and a lack of sleep have become a badge of honor for modern professionals. But it should be a mark of stupidity, the authors argue. Sadly, this isn’t just a problem for large organizations—individuals, contractors, and solopreneurs are burning themselves out the same way. The answer to better productivity isn’t more hours—it’s less waste and fewer things that induce distraction and persistent stress.
It’s time to stop celebrating Crazy, and start celebrating Calm, Fried and Hansson assert.
Fried and Hansson have the proof to back up their argument. "Calm" has been the cornerstone of their company’s culture since Basecamp began twenty years ago. Destined to become the management guide for the next generation, It Doesn't Have to Be Crazy at Work is a practical and inspiring distillation of their insights and experiences. It isn’t a book telling you what to do. It’s a book showing you what they’ve done—and how any manager or executive no matter the industry or size of the company, can do it too.

The only self-help book you’ll ever need, from a psychiatrist and his comedy writer daughter, who will help you put aside your unrealistic wishes, stop trying to change things you can’t change, and do the best with what you can control—the first steps to managing all of life’s impossible problems.
Here is the cut-to-the-chase therapy session you’ve been looking for!
Need to stop screwing up? Want to become a more positive person?
Do you work with an ass? Think you can rescue an addicted person?
Looking for closure after abuse? Have you realized that your parent is an asshole?
Feel compelled to clear your name? Hope to salvage a lost love?
Want to get a lover to commit? Plagued by a bully?
Afraid of ruining your kid? Ready to vent your anger?
In this brilliantly sensible and funny book, a Harvard-educated shrink and his comedy-writing daughter reveal that the real f-words in life are “feelings” and “fairness.” While most self-help books are about your feelings and fulfilling your wildest dreams, F*ck Feelings will show you how to find a new kind of freedom by getting your head out of your ass and yourself onto the right path toward realistic goals and feasible results. F*ck Feelings is the last self-help book you will ever need!

My Brilliant Friend is a rich, intense, and generous-hearted story about two friends, Elena and Lila. Ferrante’s inimitable style lends itself perfectly to a meticulous portrait of these two women that is also the story of a nation and a touching meditation on the nature of friendship. The story begins in the 1950s, in a poor but vibrant neighborhood on the outskirts of Naples. Growing up on these tough streets the two girls learn to rely on each other ahead of anyone or anything else. As they grow, as their paths repeatedly diverge and converge, Elena and Lila remain best friends whose respective destinies are reflected and refracted in the other. They are likewise the embodiments of a nation undergoing momentous change. Through the lives of these two women, Ferrante tells the story of a neighborhood, a city, and a country as it is transformed in ways that, in turn, also transform the relationship between her protagonists, the unforgettable Elena and Lila. Ferrante is the author of three previous works of critically acclaimed fiction: The Days of Abandonment, Troubling Love, and The Lost Daughter. With this novel, the first in a quartet, she proves herself to be one of Italy’s great storytellers. She has given her readers a masterfully plotted page-turner, abundant and generous in its narrative details and characterizations, that is also a stylish work of literary fiction destined to delight her many fans and win new readers to her fiction.

Written in clear, jargon-free language, Fear of Intimacy shows how therapists can help couples identify and overcome the messages of the internal "voice" that fosters distortions of the self and loved ones. The authors' innovative approach will be of interest to therapists and couples alike.
