The Game
by Peter King
In The Game, King has brought all his knowledge and insight together
in one place to tell the story of the modern NFL as no one else could. Moving from the mid-1980s, when the league went head-to-head with baseball in popularity, to the present, when it dominates every other entertainment in America, King narrates the NFL’s explosive rise from
the inside. He puts us in the room with Pete Rozelle, toward the end of the legendary commissioner’s career and life. He takes us on the
Madden Cruiser, on a cross-country journey with John Madden. He goes behind the scenes in the Reggie White free-agency saga, when the small-town Green Bay Packers made the canniest offer you’ll ever hear. He gives us Deion Sanders’s philosophy on how to be great on the field and how to work the system off it. He shows us Steve Young, lying in a bed with IVs in each arm after the greatest game of his life on the biggest stage. He shares the bizarre story of how a tanning bed and some well-timed push-ups helped catapult Peyton Manning to the top
of the 1998 draft. He reveals Nick Foles’s mastery of a moment no one thought he could be equal to. He brings us inside the worlds of referees, of owners, of NFL drafts. Looking at the future, he fires a warning shot about the greed overtaking the game.

Rock*: A Mainstream Alternative History of Alternative Mainstream Music
by Chuck Klosterman
The Velvet Underground & Nico was released in the spring of 1967. For decades, the cliche has been that it initially only sold 10,000 copies, though everyone who bought it supposedly started a band. It is the definition of a record whose influence outstrips its mass popularity. But what if the opposite had transpired? What if instead of selling 10,000 copies, it had sold...10 million copies? What if it had sold 100 million copies? What would have happened if the Velvet Underground had inexplicably become the biggest group in the history of popular music, and everything about the rest of the 20th century was merely a
footnote to that phenomenon? Whatever answer you imagine is an infinitesimal splinter, at least when compared to Rock*. Chuck Klosterman has generated a fictitious universe where almost everything is different, except for the songs. The songs remain the same--the difference is how they are heard and what they now mean. Presented like The Rolling Stone History of Rock & Roll if written by Philip K. Dick, Jorge Luis Borges, and Patrick Bateman, Rock* intermixes satiric contrarianism and Spinal Tap-ish absurdity with darker theories about what makes art popular, how success delineates perception, and the inescapable consensus of subjective history. It is not, nor does it claim
to be, the greatest book ever written about rock and roll. But it's probably the last one that ever needs to be written.

Making Music: Conversations with Record Producers
by Larry Crane
THIS BOOK IS A COLLECTION OF INTERVIEWS with people who have made records with some of the biggest names in music. Along the way, they might be engineering the recordings, picking the songs, guiding the singers, picking the best takes of songs, balancing egos, fixing the lyrics, booking the studio time, buying lunch, playing instruments, pushing artists further, writing or cowriting the songs, selecting the musicians to use, overseeing the mixes, and many other tasks. Making records is always a combination of many skills and goals, and the producer needs to have what it takes to make the session productive and the music compelling.

The Cruelest Game: Chasing Greatness in Professional Tennis
by Matthew Futterman
The story of modern tennis shines with immense fortune and glamour--as well as unrelenting high stakes--like the game has never seen before. Players excel and implode under excruciating pressure, alone on the court for the world to see. With legends like Rafa, Roger, and Serena retired and Novak trying to figure out when to go, a new generation of electric stars has burst onto the scene and begun their quest for the secret codes that will allow them to thrive at the top of a brutal game. Matthew Futterman, whose dynamic insider reporting has placed him at the center of the tennis world, now takes us inside this rarified sport as
it has never been seen. From private practice courts to the tunnels beneath the major tournament stadiums, from training academies to faraway wartorn hometowns, Futterman sits us down with the stars whose relentless drive leads them to battle against a game of millimeters, and explains the off-court tensions that can both lift and destroy them. With unmatched access to the top players and coaches, and their unique psyches and personalities, The Cruelest Game is a breathtaking account of what it takes to succeed, the price that is paid, and the insatiable competitive spirit that propels the rarest of athletes
to greatness.

The Hardest, Longest Race: Henry Ford and the Cross-Country Contest That Changed America
by Eric Moskowitz
In 1909, America was home to 253 automakers, a landscape of visionaries, schemers, and would-be barons of the new century. But when playboy millionaire M. Robert Guggenheim announced an audacious Ocean to Ocean contest from New York City to the Seattle World's Fair, only three companies were brassy enough to show up at
the starting line: Acme, Ford, and Shawmut. Oddsmakers favored the Acme and Itala, a pricy import also joining the race, while dismissing
the pint-sized Ford -- a homely little number called the Model T-- and
the long-shot Shawmut, struggling to survive after a factory fire. In fact, many didn't believe any of the cars would reach Seattle at all, as they would need to forge a 4,106-mile course of mountain ranges, mud bogs, washed-out wagon bridges, and harrowing canyon trails, long before
the era of asphalt highways, seatbelts, and service stations. But Henry Ford was intent on proving that the Model T could go the distance and beat out the muscular luxury cars---and he didn't plan to leave it to chance. Indeed, a little over three weeks after the race began, a Ford crossed the line hours ahead of the Shawmut. Except that victory was a fraud. The Hardest, Longest Race is a colorful tale of ambition and subterfuge, but it is also a love letter to America at the turn of the Twentieth Century. As a seeming people's champion--a car for the masses--traverses the vast nation, Moskowitz brings to vivid life the diverse populace and landscape that it would soon transform.

The Only Thing There Is to Want: A Memoir of Three Loves
by Sarah Hepola
I'm scared I only want what I can't have, I said. Oh baby, he said. It's the only thing there is to want. Sarah Hepola wanted so much: a big career; travel and adventure; deep relationships; passion. Having realized so many of those desires, she also grieved the ways her life
was not what she'd always imagined it would be. Did I make the wrong choices? she wondered. Love the wrong people? Is love even a choice? In The Only Thing There Is To Want, she revisits three complicated love affairs from her past, seeking to understand how they might have kept her from the life she'd envisioned, but also made her who she is.
Tracing her search for love, she uncovers the myths she once believed could make her whole. This dazzling portrait of modern romance captures the paradox of desire: wanting propels us forward and holds
us back. Funny, achingly tender, and fearlessly intimate, The Only Thing There Is to Want is about discovering the beauty in the life you've built.

Said the Dead
by Doireann Ní Ghríofa
In Cork, Ireland, a derelict Victorian mental hospital is being converted into modern apartments. One passerby has always flinched as she
nears the place. In another time, she might have found herself held within those walls. She notices a sign, the first of many. Guided by an irresistible impulse, she follows them. FOR SALE. The letter L, broken free from a pane of stained glass. Whispers from the river. She trespasses, steals, absconds from the routines of her life--mother, spouse, daughter--as she hears a chorus of insistent voices. They murmur from archives, old casebooks that recorded their progress and failures--no change. They slip through stairwells and walls. They are
the women who knew this place best, and with them--with one in particular--she feels a connection. She is drawn out; she knocks on a door in the night. Will this investigation, this journey, this haunting,
take her too far into the past or will it bring her to a new understanding of what she might yet make of the future?

Crossing the Wine-Dark Sea: Journeys Through Ancient Literature
by Emily Wilson
In this sharp and often entertaining tour through antiquity, Emily Wilson―whose renditions of Homer’s Odyssey and Iliad have captured
a generation’s imagination―explores the complicated terrain of reading and writing about the ancient past. Drawing on twenty years of scholarship and teaching, Wilson explores the difficult choices that translators must make, the pleasures of finding new solutions to old problems, and the inevitable frustrations of never fully capturing what is in the original work. Across chapters that range from the politics of
Helen of Troy to the obscenities of Aristophanes, from Roman imitation of Greek models to contemporary debates over “foreignizing” and “domesticizing” styles, Wilson examines how modern norms of gender, sexuality, violence, humor, and power complicate our readings of
ancient works, and how translation always risks denaturing what is unique and strange about the ancient world. Brilliant, erudite, and yet accessible to readers with no classical background, Crossing the Wine-Dark Sea is at once an introduction to the wonders of Greek and
Roman literature, a manifesto for the value of translation in a rapidly changing world, and an invitation to encounter ancient cultures anew.

Unreliable Boyfriend: An Insider's View of Dealing with a Chaotic Superpower, Plutocrats, and Other Complicated People
by Chrystia Freeland
Before rising to the heights of Canadian politics, Chrystia Freeland was one of the first Western reporters to chronicle the rise of the Russian oligarchs in the 1990s. She spent decades reporting from Moscow, Kyiv, Washington, Beijing, and beyond, exposing how global elites and authoritarian regimes exploited economic upheaval while hollowing out the lives of ordinary people. Then she crossed into politics herself.
Inside Justin Trudeau's cabinet, Freeland became one of the world's most influential negotiators, helping broker trade agreements that
united labor activists and business leaders, nationalists and globalists.
At a moment of rising tariffs, economic anxiety, and democratic instability, she offers a rare insider account of how deals are really
made--and how coalitions fracture when governments fail to deliver for working people. Freed from the constraints of office, Freeland writes with unusual candor about leadership, ambition, compromise, and betrayal. She reveals how power operates behind closed doors, how alliances are forged and broken, and why trade, security, and
democracy can no longer be separated. At a time when
authoritarianism is resurging around the world, she argues that democracies must build new alliances strong enough to resist both foreign autocrats and homegrown oligarchs.

True North: On the Road in Canada
by Paul Theroux
For more than half a century, Paul Theroux has traveled the globe and chronicled its far corners with curiosity, wit, and an unflinching eye.
With True North, his twelfth travel book, he turns that eye to a country that has long been his quiet neighbor: Canada. What begins as the completion of a North American road trip trilogy becomes something more personal. Theroux traces his own ancestral connection to Quebec, where his forebear Antoine Theroux arrived in the 17th century.
Theroux meets his Quebcois friends and relations, then travels more widely through remote villages, multicultural cities, and sweeping landscapes that have defined modern Canada. Along the way, he
speaks with farmers, refugees, writers like John Irving and Michael Ondaatje, and Indigenous leaders such as Tanya Talaga, listening as Canadians reckon with identity, belonging, and patriotism, often in response to the jabs and provocations of their southern neighbor. From snowbound Ottawa at the height of political protests to the Viking settlement at L'Anse aux Meadows, from Toronto's ethno-burbs to Vancouver's Pacific gateway, True North is a panoramic portrait of a
vast country both familiar and elusive. It is also a meditation on kinship, migration, and the resilience of a people shaped by history, geography, and challenging weather.

The Rush: California Gold, the Civil War, and the Making of the Modern World
by Nathaniel Philbrick
In January 1848, a carpenter spotted flecks of gold in a shallow stream at Sutter's Mill in California, triggering the greatest voluntary migration
in U.S. history, as hundreds of thousands raced west in pursuit of
sudden wealth, reinvention, and power. In The Rush, Nathaniel Philbrick transforms the Gold Rush from a tale of sudden riches into the origin story of America's modern contradictions--capital consolidated at
dizzying speed, democracy in thrall to private power, xenophobia weaponized in the name of liberty--and a stubborn belief in the
American experiment that refuses to die. This is the story of a nation tearing at the seams and a republic tested by its own ideals. Not until a year after the outbreak of the Civil War, when President Lincoln signed legislation that would unite the nation east to west by building a transcontinental railroad, was California's loyalty secured. Philbrick follows the gold as it moves from riverbed to countinghouse to the halls of power, revealing how vigilantism hardened into law and how debates over slavery in the West tipped the balance in Washington. The result is a clear, human story of how a scramble for wealth reshaped ideas of freedom, labor, and belonging--and how California's rise helped push a fractured nation toward war.

Towns Along the Q: American History as Experienced in 14 Chicago Suburbs
by David A. Wilson
Each of the various suburbs along the 40-mile Metra BNSF train line has characteristics that vary much different from the next. Why is that? Carefully researched and illustrated, Towns Along the Q describes the evolution of those communities from geologic formations through the pandemic. Frontier settlements, bungalows, Victorian mansions, sprawling estates, seedy race tracks and drinking establishments, Capone era machine gun fire, colorful real estate developers, a highway made of wood, forest preserves, shopping centers, big box retail stores, a tragic train crash, and a zoo are all part of the story.

Anti-Zionism: A Jewish History
by Benjamin Moser
A sweeping and revelatory history of the hidden tradition of Jewish thinkers who opposed Zionism, from Pulitzer Prize winner Benjamin Moser. In Anti-Zionism: A Jewish History, Benjamin Moser uncovers a suppressed tradition that has shaped Jewish thought for generations. Through a cast of artists, rabbis, poets, lawyers, activists, journalists, and politicians--from Europe and Africa and Asia and Latin America--Moser traces a lineage of Jewish dissenters who confronted Zionism's moral and political stakes--often at devastating personal cost, including censorship, exile, and death. Their lives form a sweeping, global narrative that dismantles a powerful myth: that anti-Zionism is synonymous with antisemitism.

History by a Hair: Thomas Jefferson, Sally Hemings & Solving a 200-Year-Old Mystery
by Richard Kurin
In 2011, staff at the Smithsonian's National Museum of American
History discovered what appeared to be a hair--light red, possibly human--pressed between the pages of the Thomas Jefferson Bible.
That hair sparked an unprecedented scientific quest: determining if modern genomics could recover Jefferson's DNA and finally resolve the most divisive and enduring question surrounding his life--the paternity
of the children of Sally Hemings, one of hundreds of African Americans enslaved by Thomas Jefferson. For over two centuries, the Jefferson-Hemings controversy has shaped American debates about race, power, slavery, and the mythology of the Founding Fathers. Historians have argued fiercely. Descendants have lived with uncertainty. DNA technology in the 1990s brought us closer, but not all the way; the evidence remained incomplete. Until now. In this riveting narrative--
part scientific detective story, part historical epic--Richard Kurin, distinguished scholar and museum official, leads readers through the fifteen-year-long genomic investigation conducted with leading DNA scientists, archaeologists, genealogists, forensic experts, and Jefferson and Hemings' descendants across the country. The result is the first conclusive, scientifically validated answer to a question that has reverberated since the eighteenth century--an answer that settles the historical record, deepens our understanding of Jefferson, honors generations of family oral history, and asks America to confront the full complexity of its origins.

Shadow Before the Flame: The Hindenburg Disaster and the Prelude to War
by Catherine Grace Katz
On the evening of May 6, 1937, the majestic German zeppelin Hindenburg arrived before cheering crowds in Lakehurst, New Jersey, when suddenly, a titanic inferno lit up the sky. Thirty-four seconds later, the greatest airship ever to take flight was gone, destroyed in a
ferocious blaze and eternally seared into historical memory. Acclaimed historian Catherine Grace Katz unites groundbreaking research with thrilling narrative that situates this famous disaster squarely on the collision course between the decade's two prevailing currents. The Hindenburg began as a symbol of hope and progress, a gleaming technological marvel in the nascent age of aviation. But soon, the
airship of dreams became a propaganda tool powering the rising Nazi regime. In this sweeping drama, Katz illustrates the story of the Hindenburg through the captivating passengers and crew caught in the grip of fate: an adventurous heiress, a renowned vaudeville star, a Chicago industrialist with German Jewish roots, an esteemed zeppelin captain, and a young cabin boy on his first voyage to the United States. Meanwhile, on the ground, two intrepid journalists' reporting on the Hindenburg fundamentally changed breaking news, paving the way for modern media.

All the Presidents' Wars: Twenty-Five Years of America's War on Terror
by Peter Bergen
Based on hundreds of interviews, All the Presidents’ Wars focuses on critical decisions of four successive presidents―Bush, Obama, Biden,
and Trump―and their global consequences. One of the few journalists
to interview Osama bin Laden and have unparalleled access to the US intelligence community, Peter Bergen covers the history that might have been avoided: the many terrorist attacks by al-Qaeda and its affiliated groups around the world; the rise of al-Qaeda in Iraq, largely
responsible for the Iraqi civil war in the mid-2000s; the birth of ISIS;
the resurrection of Afghanistan’s Taliban; and Trump’s war with Iran. From the failure to capture and the eventual killing of Osama bin Laden to the disastrous rise of sectarian violence in the Middle East, Bergen traces the profound ramifications of this epoch in American life.

Empire of Ashes: Truman, Hirohito, and the Descent Into Total War
by James M. Scott
Empire of Ashes explores the final brutal months of the war in the Pacific, featuring the voices of never-before-heard victims of the atomic bombs. Through interviews with survivors and accounts gleaned from Japanese sources, New York Times best-selling author James M. Scott combines the attacks’ heart-wrenching details with their causes and consequences, from debates within the Manhattan Project at Los Alamos, Oakridge, and Hanford to the fallout that would alter decades
of life in Japan. Scott also delves into the political maneuvering in Washington and Tokyo between two seemingly unlikely leaders―President Harry S. Truman and Emperor Hirohito―that led to unprecedented violence and, eventually, surrender.

Three Rivers: The Extraordinary Waterways That Created Europe
by Robert Winder
Three of Europe’s greatest rivers share the same geological cradle: one fertile patch of Alpine ice in the jagged heights of central Switzerland. Coursing down through the peaks, the Rhine, the Rhone, and the Po gave birth to three different European cultures—German, French, and Italian—as they flowed across the continent. From this shared
geological cradle, these waterways have shaped the landscape, influenced the pattern of towns and cities, laid the foundation for economies and created an intricate network of transport, trade, and agriculture. From the Romanesque buttresses and vines of Provence to the Wagnerian music of the Rhine and the artistic miracles of Lombardy, the heart of Western Europe—its languages, religion, philosophy, science, politics, and art—has been nourished by these waters. Setting off in the dramatic mountain landscape where this story begins, acclaimed historian Robert Winder traces the rivers’ journeys from their increasingly fragile glacial sources, revealing in shimmering detail their impact on Europe’s rich history as they flow toward the sea.

Exit Stalin: The Soviet Union as a Civilization, 1953-1991
by Mark B. Smith
To those of us in the West, the Soviet Union is synonymous with Stalinism. The common view of the USSR is of a brutal regime that squelched dissent and oversaw a drab, terrified society. Yet as Cambridge historian Mark B. Smith demonstrates in Exit Stalin, after the death of the murderous Joseph Stalin in 1953, the Soviet Union was at
a crossroads. Would it break from the dictator’s reign or continue his campaign of violence and fear? The answer was both. The USSR remained harsh and authoritarian, yet it also earnestly sought to fulfill the Russian Revolution’s promise of an egalitarian, progressive future. Smith shows how vacation resorts, Pioneer camps, and new opportunities for private life coexisted with corruption scandals, KGB surveillance, and censorship. Re-creating the everyday rhythms of the country, he takes us into the Soviet Union’s culture, including TV shows and films that were little-known in the West. Ordinary citizens navigated the contradictions of existence under Khrushchev and his successors, building lives within a system they often accepted, believed in, or could not imagine abandoning. The result was the emergence of a distinctive and functioning civilization, a far cry from the vicious dictatorship of the West’s imagination.
