How celestial bodies impact life on earth - from the acclaimed author of Notes from Deep Time

From your window you can see the stars and distant planets: light years away, it's easy to think that our existences and theirs will never intersect. Yet meteorites - mysterious, irregular rocks of sometimes immense value - connect us with the vastness of the universe. They may have brought the first life to our planet, and today they still reveal extraordinary scientific insights. Helen Gordon reveals the fascinating stories of fallen meteorites and the lives they've touched - from collectors to kings, scientists to farmers. She meets amateur astronomers and gem dealers, goes meteorite hunting across rooftops and learns what objects moving through space can tell us about the fragility of life on Earth.

The myth of Orpheus and Eurydice is retold with riotous '60s flair in Dino Buzzati's phantasmagorical graphic novel, a story with "shades of Fellini, shades of Dickens, [and] shades of the great Italian horror director Mario Bava" (Los Angeles Times).

There's a certain street--via Saterna--in the middle of Milan that just doesn't show up on maps of the city. Orfi, a wildly successful young singer, lives there, and it's there that one night he sees his gorgeous girlfriend Eura disappear, "like a spirit," through a little door in the high wall that surrounds a mysterious mansion across the way. Where has Eura gone? Orfi will have to venture with his guitar across the borders of life and death to find out.

Featuring the Ashen Princess, the Line Inspector, trainloads of Devils, Trudy, Valentina, and the Talking Jacket, Poem Strip--a pathbreaking graphic novel from the 1960s--is a dark and alluring investigation into mysteries of love, lust, sex, and death by Dino Buzzati, a master of the Italian avant-garde.

Opposites attract when a cheerful airhead meets the resident wallflower of his new class in this heartwarming, slice-of-life school comedy series!

As they visit famous landmarks, buy interesting souvenirs, and share delicious meals together, hints of romance fill the air. After all, Nishimura isn't the only one who's in love with a classmate. Adachi, Kasahara, Kitagawa, Minakuchi, and more are also hoping to make some memories with their crushes before they all graduate from elementary school!

If you can't beat 'em... burn it all down.

The fae royalty think I'm their toy. Their entertainment.

But I'm the only thing standing between their glittering world and the darkness waiting to consume mine.

To buy us time, Tarian enters me into the court games-a bloodsport for the bored and cruel. No allies. No protection. Just monsters wearing crowns and smiling as they watch me fall.

My odds of survival? Slim.

My resolve? Unbreakable.

They've always underestimated me. I exist in the shadows. I thrive there.

And when they push me too far... they'll learn exactly what kind of carnage a cornered human can unleash.

The explosive conclusion to the Shadowbound Fae duet.

When Jason Irwin visits his mother two days before Christmas, he finds her in bed, racked with pain. Later that night, at the ER, the doctor on duty delivers a diagnosis neither Jason nor his mother is prepared for: terminal cancer.

These Fragments I Have Shored tells of the unique bond between mother and son. One narrative chronicles Irwin's role as caregiver during the final 35 days of his mother's life, while the other tells of Jason's fight to break free and live a "normal life" despite being born with multiple and life-threatening birth defects. While struggling to keep Jason healthy through a string of hospitalizations and surgeries, his mother internalizes feelings of guilt and shame, stemming from her unresolved childhood trauma, her failed marriage to Jason's father, and her years working low-paying, part-time jobs to survive.

Jason's growing independence, his moving away to attend graduate school to study poetry, coincides with his mother's own deteriorating health and financial decline, forever changing the dynamic of their relationship. Yet, through all their ups and downs, a mutual love of music, reading, and the quirky absurdities of life holds them together.

Brody Saunders is the best coach in the NHL.

What starts as an agreement for Hannah to coach Brody's daughter for the figure skating season, quickly turns into something more.

And the message written on her bathroom mirror: I'll luv u 4ever.

An exciting collection of essays, short stories and reflections on fly fishing.

In The Best Fly Fishing Is Everywhere, Jesse Lance Robbins invites readers into a contemplative journey through water and time. This collection of essays, stories, and meditations moves beyond the pursuit of the perfect cast or the biggest catch. Instead, it explores fly fishing as a dialogue between human and nature, solitude and connection, movement and stillness.

From the misty rivers of Oregon to the urban streams of Tokyo, the windswept flats of Key West to the trout-laced waters of New Zealand, Robbins captures the essence of place and the spirit of the angler. Each chapter is a moment suspended--sometimes triumphant, sometimes humbling, always honest.

Whether fishing alone or with companions, chasing trout or tarpon, Robbins reminds us that the best fishing isn't found on a map. It's found in the way we show up--in reverence, in curiosity, in love for the wild. Because the best fishing isn't about where you go. It's about what you find when you get there.

This is a book for those who fish, and for those who wonder why others do. It's for anyone who has ever stood beside a river and felt something ancient stir. With prose that is both poetic and grounded, The Best Fly Fishing Is Everywhere is a meditation on nature, memory, and the quiet joy of being fully present.

El chef migrante desvela la extraordinaria vida de Lalo García, un migrante que pasó de los campos agrícolas al Olimpo de la gastronomía mundial.

Cuando era niño, Lalo tuvo que trabajar en condiciones «agotadoras, mugrientas y venenosas» en Estados Unidos... Sin formación académica ni grandes recursos, su innato talento y férrea ética de trabajo le empezaron a abrir paso en el mundo
que le apasionaba: el de los restaurantes... Pero todo se interrumpió cuando fue deportado a México, un país que debió redescubrir y donde tuvo que empezar de cero. De nuevo.

Lo hizo a lo grande. En ese proceso, se propuso redefinir la alta cocina y su propio destino.

Junto a su socia y esposa, Gaby López Cruz, Lalo fundó Máximo Bistrot Local en la Ciudad de México, un restaurante que ha sido nombrado uno de los cien mejores del mundo.

Desde ahí confrontó la desigualdad y cimbró el panorama culinario buscando hacer una cocina de autor, con ingredientes realmente sustentables, transformando la adversidad en un motor de cambio.

Laura Tillman, tras cinco años de reportaje inmersivo y cientos de horas en la cocina de Máximo, nos ofrece una mirada íntima al complejo mundo interior de Lalo, sus ansiedades, su inspiración y su constante búsqueda de propósito y plenitud.
He aquí la historia de un «simple cocinero» que, día a día,
nos invita a disfrutar un imperio de sabores.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Winner of the 2024 James Beard Foundation's Award for Literary Writing

A New Yorker Best Book of 2023 - An NPR 2023 "Books We Love" Pick

A chef's gripping quest to reconcile his childhood experiences as a migrant farmworker with the rarefied world of fine dining.

Born in rural Mexico, Eduardo "Lalo" García Guzmán and his family left for the United States when he was a child, picking fruits and vegetables on the migrant route from Florida to Michigan. He worked in Atlanta restaurants as a teenager before being convicted of a robbery, incarcerated, and eventually deported. Lalo landed in Mexico City as a new generation of chefs was questioning the hierarchies that had historically privileged European cuisine in elite spaces. At his acclaimed restaurant, Máximo Bistrot, he began to craft food that narrated his memories and hopes.

Mexico City-based journalist Laura Tillman spent five years immersively reporting on Lalo's story: from Máximo's kitchen to the onion fields of Vidalia, Georgia, to Dubai's first high-end Mexican restaurant, to Lalo's hometown of San José de las Pilas. What emerges is a moving portrait of Lalo's struggle to find authenticity in an industry built on the very inequalities that drove his family to leave their home, and of the artistic process as Lalo calls on the experiences of his life to create transcendent cuisine. The Migrant Chef offers an unforgettable window into a family's border-eclipsing dreams, Mexico's culinary heritage, and the making of a chef.
