Collection: Adult

A collection of reported stories that explore the relationship between mothers and daughters, from the finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in Feature Writing for her work in The New Yorker.

You Won't Get Free of It tells the stories of mothers and daughters searching for each other and for themselves. Rachel Aviv explores the complexity of this relationship in seven essays, six originally published in The New Yorker and reconceived for this intimate, revelatory book. "I wrote some of these stories feeling, existentially, like a daughter, and now I have returned to them with a different identification," Aviv writes. "It was as if I had failed to see the drama on the mother's side, too--her particular longings and humiliations and needs."

Aviv writes about one mother searching for her vanished daughter; another who sacrifices herself for her daughters by working as a nanny for other people's children. In the final story, a daughter's traumatic experience is erased by her family, only to be recast by her mother, the writer Alice Munro, in stories celebrated around the world. You Won't Get Free of It is an astonishing exploration of the competing dynamics of knowing and unknowing, recognition and refusal, that shape our most foundational relationship. Illuminating ineffable registers of experience, Aviv reckons with the way that disowned knowledge forms and deforms families and lives.

What would happen if you bought a handful of stocks and then left them alone for some time, like stashing valuables in a coffee can? If you picked the right ones, you might wake up one day with life-changing wealth.

Neeraj Khemlani introduces readers to this investing philosophy through the eye-opening story of a portfolio manager who has put it into practice. Matt Ankrum researched 100-baggers--stocks that have multiplied in value a hundred times over multiple decades--looking for what they have in common. Drawing on these clues, he hunts down and buys shares in what he thinks are tomorrow's breakout companies, planning to gift his children a coffee can portfolio that could someday be worth half a billion dollars.

The Coffee Can Investor shares Ankrum's process for identifying companies that can stand the test of time, as well as his stock picks. It explores the principles of long-term investing, emphasizing the power of compounding and why it pays to be patient. This book details the qualitative and quantitative aspects of 100-baggers, revealing that a surprising share are business-to-business companies, not just the business-to-consumer companies that typically grab headlines. Khemlani also recounts his own decision to make a coffee can of investments for his kids.

What astronauts' extraordinary experiences of awe and humility teach us about humanity.

What is it like to stand in the shadow of Earth and the Moon and look out at the vastness of the Milky Way? To confront a view so grand it cannot be reproduced in a photo? These are the questions space anthropologist Deana L. Weibel asked as she interviewed astronauts and others in the space community. What they told her was not just surprising but also deeply moving. When gazing into star fields not fully visible from Earth, these astronauts experienced a profound sense of humility that fundamentally transformed their understanding of humanity. Welcome to the ultraview effect.

The ultraview effect expands on the classic "overview effect." Comparing spacefarers to religious pilgrims, Weibel suggests that this experience of deep humility is a generative reaction to awe, which inspires exploration and adventure. When facing the vastness of the universe, acknowledging our monumental ignorance is what drives our will to discover. A fascinating dive into science, cognition, and spirituality, The Ultraview Effect draws from astronauts' own accounts to make the case that continued human space exploration is not only a scientifically essential endeavor but also a culturally enriching one.

Frank Frazetta has reigned as the undisputed king of fantasy art for well over 50 years, the value of his paintings now climbing as high as his fans' admiration. Each year his works break the previous year's auction records, with the cover for Lancer books 1967 Conan bringing $13.5 million in September 2025.Born to a Sicilian immigrant family in Brooklyn, 1928, Frazetta was a minor league athlete, petty criminal and serial seducer with movie star looks and phenomenal talent. Self-described as lazy and difficult, he often started a painting the night before it was due, completing it in mere hours, yet delivering a masterpiece--often still wet, but a masterpiece, nonetheless. He started in comics at age 16, including the infamous EC Comics, moved on to film posters, then to Tarzan and Conan pulp covers. Along the way he produced magazine covers for National Lampoon, though at odds with the editors' "hippy politics," made the animated film Fire & Ice with director Ralph Bakshi, and learned to paint left-handed at age 68 after the first of many strokes paralyzed his right hand. As he explained in the 1970s, "I'm very physical minded. In Brooklyn, I knew Conan, I knew guys just like him." Using this first-hand knowledge of muscle and macho he redefined fantasy heroes as more massive, more menacing, more testosterone-fueled than anything seen before, and their female counterparts as thick-thighed, heavy-buttocked, and pixie-faced, yet still, with their soft bellies and hints of cellulite, believably real. All in all, Frazetta's art is addictive as potato chips, and now available in a compact, attractive and affordable package.

From Nathan Peterson, LCSW, the #1 OCD content provider on YouTube, a guide to breaking free from the disease, offering the latest evidence-based strategies for recovery

Obsessive-compulsive disorder is one of the most common, and debilitating, mental disorders. Though popular media tends to focus on the condition's zany quirks, OCD manifests in a wide variety of ways, many of which are hidden from view and utterly destructive. Left unchecked, this disease wreaks havoc on lives.

But there is an effective treatment. Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) involves exposure to OCD triggers in a safe environment for increasingly long durations. Nathan Peterson, a clinician who specializes in using ERP to treat OCD, has already helped hundreds of thousands of followers regain control over their lives. Here, he guides readers through the magic of ERP and gives them a framework to maintain and build upon the gains they have made. Readers will learn:

- The inner workings of the OCD loop: intrusive thoughts, anxiety, compulsions, temporary relief, repeat
- The tricks, lies, and sneakiness OCD uses to stay around
- Why all OCD "themes"--from repetitive checking to contamination fears to a fixation on self-harm--play on the same regions of the brain and are treated the same way
- How you can starve your OCD of the attention it needs to survive
- And so much more

Peterson guides readers through the process of recovery, from session one to graduation. He offers actionable steps and accompanying worksheets to help you get better. No matter where you are on your OCD journey, you need this book.

According to the National Institute for Mental Health, over fifty-nine million adults and nearly a fifth of adolescents in the US have been diagnosed with some form of mental illness, with about 50 percent receiving treatment. But the explosion in diagnoses over the last ten years may be doing more harm than good: encouraging patients to define their identities in terms of their deficits, contributing to the overprescribing of pharmaceutical drugs, and saddling a generation with constricting labels that can linger long after symptoms have resolved.

Drawing on thirty years of medical experience, Dr. Gavin Francis, a general practitioner, delves with subtle nuance into the tangled history of psychiatry and the problems that he addresses daily in his patients' lives: mood disorders, trauma, anxiety, and addiction. Expertly reckoning with the historical treatment of mental illness and today's realities, Dr. Francis examines how mental health care has evolved--and how a system built on diagnosing illness and prescribing medication too often forces patients into diagnostic boxes, with labels that too often become self-fulfilling prophecies.

Including case studies and conversations with therapists, psychologists, and psychiatrists, Dr. Francis takes a multifaceted approach to the constantly shifting landscape of mental health to argue that the mind, far from being something rigid and fragile, is in fact dynamic and adaptive, best treated with compassion, flexibility, and curiosity. The Unfragile Mind blends experience, history, and contemporary perspectives in a comprehensive assessment of how we can better understand--and navigate--common but often invisible illnesses.

An engrossing and encyclopedic narrative of the year in which the outcome of World War Two hung in the balance

The year opened with the Axis powers inflicting a series of disasters on the newly formed Allies: Pearl Harbor, followed by Japan's conquest of the Philippines and Southeast Asia; Rommel running unchecked in North Africa; German U-boats transforming the East Coast of the United States into a shooting gallery; the failure of Britain's strategic bombing campaign; and devastating defeats of the Red Army at Kharkov, Crimea, and southern Russia. By the summer of 1942, many of these theatres offered a grim global calculus. Any notion of decisive victory seemed far-fetched.

Yet by the end of 1942 there had been a sea-change. Within just one 40-day timespan, the British had triumphed over Rommel at Alamein; British and American forces landed in North Africa to confront the Axis position there; the Americans won two naval battles at Guadalcanal, sealing the fate of that campaign and with it Japanese expansionism; the Red Army launched a massive counter-offensive at Stalingrad that would condemn six Axis armies-and hundreds of thousands of German, Italian, Romanian and Hungarian soldiers-to eventual destruction. The Allies had somehow gained the upper hand, forcing the Axis powers into a defensive crouch from which they would not rebound. The war, in short, had turned.

Jonathan Parshall's epic 1942: Crux of War offers a sweeping new narrative and visual history. Containing more than 150 maps and timelines, it looks at the year from all sides and from every front, revealing how military reform, economic mobilization, inspired improvisation, and growing professionalism coalesced quickly and decisively, paving the way toward final Allied victory. Parshall's book examines and illuminates World War II's most crucial and consequential year: its crux.

A leading New York lawyer reveals his journey to professional success.

Mark C. Zauderer gave up a budding career as a rock and roll disc jockey and became a high-profile lawyer. Fifty years later, he has represented clients in some of the most contentious litigations in US history and has become a recognized media guest, appearing on MSNBC, CNBC, ABC, NBC, PBS, and Fox Business and providing legal commentary in major print media.

In Counsel, the Courtroom Is Open, Mark takes the reader behind the scenes of high-profile lawsuits and reveals the strategies that won him tough cases at trials and on appeals. He shares the wit, wisdom, and wonder of his unexpected path into the legal profession and the creativity that fueled his ascent. To aspiring entrepreneurs, whether they're lawyers or inventors or just kids with a dream, Mark says: With a little confidence, you can do this, too.

Long before he became a go-to source for media commentary on high profile trials, ranging from Donald Trump to Sean Combs--including The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Forbes, Reuters, The Washington Post, The Boston Globe, and The Los Angeles Times - Zauderer started out working through the Vietnam War era, three high profile assassinations, the Kent State shootings, and the Cambodia invasion. Beginning his legal career as a law clerk to a federal judge and then as a junior attorney at a major law firm, he later joined several other lawyers willing to take a chance and founded a highly successful, entrepreneurial law firm. Over fifty years, the author has represented well-known individuals and businesses in some of the most significant litigations in the United States. Over the span of a decade, he was also the subject of nine half-hour interviews on PBS television. His path to success is a guide for all professionals with aspirations of "doing it on your own."
