Immerse yourself in the wonderful world of Wes Anderson with 55+ recipes inspired by his films, characters, and signature aesthetic.

In The Wes Anderson Cookbook--the debut title in the Director's Cut Kitchen series--you'll embark on a wondrous culinary adventure: an edible tribute to the charm, wit, and whimsy of filmmaker Wes Anderson's inimitable creations, from his first film, Bottle Rocket, to his series of Netflix shorts, to his latest film, The Phoenician Scheme. While you can't book a stay in one of the Grand Budapest Hotel's timeworn rooms, buy a ticket for the Darjeeling Limited, or enroll in the fabled Rushmore Academy, you can experience all those places--and the memorable characters who inhabit them--through the foods and flavors that loom large in Anderson's films as props, symbols, and uncredited dramatis personae.

The Wes Anderson Cookbook is a carefully crafted homage to the director's visual and narrative style, with vibrant design elements that echo his iconic aesthetics. With an introduction about the director, his oeuvre, and the role foods play in his films, the book contains 59 full-color, beautifully illustrated recipes, from main dishes and snacks to drinks and desserts; each explains its connection to a particular movie or scene, adding layers of storytelling and fun facts for film buffs.

Enjoy recipes such as:

• Midge's Dinette Waffles from Asteroid City
• Private Compartment Savoury Snacks from The Darjeeling Limited
• Purloined Chicken Salad from Fantastic Mr. Fox
• The Royal Negroni from The Royal Tenenbaums
• Grilled Jaguar Shark Steaks with Cream Sauce from The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou
• Mendl's Courtesan au Chocolat from The Grand Budapest Hotel

With menus for viewing parties, a complete filmography, and Easter eggs galore, this book is as much a visual feast as a literal one. More than just a collection of recipes, this is a collector's item that celebrates the art of both cinema and cooking. With its unique premise of turning the lens on the director, rather than on a specific film, its visually stunning design appeals to both film fans and foodies alike. It's an immersive journey through the cinematic world of Wes Anderson, bringing film scenes to life through food.

Director's Cut Kitchen is a series of unofficial cookbooks that explores the intersection of food, film, and creativity, focusing on the distinctive styles of celebrated film directors. Each book features newly created recipes inspired by a director's unique cinematic universe, with dishes inspired by memorable scenes or conceptually linked to the films' moods, aesthetics, and themes. The series brings together the best of food and film, offering fans a way to engage with their favorite directors in a fun, tangible--and delicious--way. The result is a playful and engaging collection that appeals to cinephiles, foodies, and pop culture enthusiasts alike.

A powerful deconstruction of humanity's most influential invention, from the acclaimed economists J. W. Mason and Arjun Jayadev.

Money is everywhere in our daily lives. It lurks in the swipe of a card at the grocery store, in looming student-loan debts, in the prices of things we want, and in our subconscious navigation of the modern world. Money is an invisible convenience that saves us, as a society, the hassle of bartering for goods and services--a reflection, in our pockets and on our phones, of the hard facts of scarcity and desire. Or is it something more?

In this revelatory book, economists J. W. Mason and Arjun Jayadev explain how and why money is so deeply misunderstood by the world it dominates--as well as the dangerous social implications of this misunderstanding. Against Money tackles the most dearly held "truths" of economics, arguing that the world of money has never been an impartial representation of the world of things. Instead, its existence in different forms--debt, capital, liquidity, and interest--increasingly shapes events in the real world rather than just reflecting them. Sometimes money enables new forms of cooperation; more oftenit facilitates domination. Human existence is not just facilitated by money but also governed by it.

In the tradition of works by Thomas Piketty and David Graeber, Against Money is an erudite, disruptive exposé of the illusions and tyrannies of money. Mason and Jayadev present a radically different way of thinking about money--imagining a hopeful future in which it no longer dictates the possibilities of our collective existence.

Discover the incredible life of trees through forty eye-opening short essays that explore trees as miraculous, living, breathing protectors of our Earth. Environmental activist and author Joan Maloof's elegant writing turns science into storytelling.

There are an estimated three trillion trees in the world, half as many as there once were. To honor and protect these vital organisms, a shift in perspective can help expand our understanding beyond simply appreciating trees' remarkable beauty to discovering the ways they are inextricably connected to our planet, our fellow species, and our spirits.

Within these pages, biologist Joan Maloof offers forty distinct ways of encountering, exploring, and learning about a tree. Through engaging, impassioned essays, paired with beautiful watercolor illustrations, she invites us to get to know a tree:

• By its leaves, whether it is needle-leaved or broad-leaved. Leaves can also be different on an individual tree; for example, those on the lower part, called shade leaves, tend to be larger to catch what sunlight they can.
• Through its rings, the only sure way of telling its age. The oldest documented tree ever counted was a bristlecone with 4,500 rings.
• From its birds. For example, avian migration is driven by how weather affects trees, like the honey mesquite trees' yellow blooms that cue migratory birds to stop and feed on the spiders found in their blossoms.
• By its song, either through the many organisms living there or the wind moving through its branches and leaves. Trees sound different in winter and summer, and healthy trees sound different than sick ones.
• And so much more.

Each profile is illustrated with a particular species, representing dozens from all around the world, which combine to create a broader canvas of tree knowledge. This book celebrates the tree itself, with its many roles and parts, as well as its invaluable services to humans and wildlife--providing food, shelter, clean air, water, and, to many, simple joy.

EMBRACING TREES: Increasing awareness of climate change and the environment, as well as new research about their complexity, has brought trees into the spotlight of popular culture. For readers who loved The Hidden Life of Trees and The Serviceberry, this book is an excellent, accessible complement, with immersive storytelling and gorgeous illustrations and photographs.

AUTHOR EXPERTISE: Joan Maloof is an award-winning author, environmental activist, and recognized tree expert with five previous books on the subject. She founded the Old-Growth Forest Network to preserve, protect, and promote the country's few remaining stands of old-growth forest.

BEAUTIFUL, ENGAGING CONTENT: Readers will learn surprising new facts about trees, exploring their essence from birth, roots, bark, and shape to colors, fragrance, sap, and song. Sara Nunan's elegant watercolors provide an artistic and colorful addition to Maloof's beautiful text.

Perfect for:

• Nature lovers
• Botanists
• Hikers, campers, and lovers of the outdoors
• Science enthusiasts
• Gift-givers seeking beautiful nonfiction books for Mother's Day, Father's Day, Graduation, birthdays, holidays, and more

A remarkable exploration of Chicago's architectural history through the humble brick.

By the late 1920s, at its peak of brick making and consumption, Chicago was making over a billion bricks a year for its buildings and importing almost another billion nicer face bricks for their front facades. Throughout Chicago's history, brick dramatically transformed from a simple fireproof building material into an integral piece of architectural design. And no one knows the hidden details and stories of this fascinating history like Chicago's foremost brick aficionado, Will Quam.

In Fire and Clay, Quam takes us on journeys to experience the beauty and mystery of Chicago's buildings. He also explores how developers, architects, and masons followed changing fashions as they designed and built the city, creating connections across disparate neighborhoods. The red bricks that make up Lincoln Park mansions, for example, are the same as those found on Pullman row homes and Pilsen workers' cottages, just as Rogers Park's colorful bricks can also be found far across the city in South Shore. Known for his popular walking tours, Quam has built his life around the appreciation, study, and evangelizing of this most humble building block's many wonders. Here, he pours all his knowledge into the first book of its kind, beautifully illustrated with more than one hundred of his own full-color photographs.

More than just an investigation into brick, Fire and Clay gives readers a fresh lens through which to explore the city anew and find clear connections across its different neighborhoods. By the end of this lively tour through Chicago's history, readers will never look at a brick building the same way again.

Rocky Balboa is the Philadelphian icon who took on the world and won. The original "Italian Stallion," the gutsy fighter who rose above the odds to boxing glory, and a rags-to-riches legend in the business of making movies. Ever since Sylvester Stallone unleashed his impassioned title character in 1976, the resilient fighter has earned his place in history as a symbol of tenacity and courage and a legend of cinematic success.The story of Rocky the movie is as exciting as that of its eponymous boxer. Shot on a tight budget, with the virtually unknown Stallone writing the script as well as taking on the lead role, it became a surprise overnight sensation, generating millions in box-office revenues, notching up three Oscar wins, and transforming Stallone into a global star as an actor, writer, and director. The Rocky phenomenon developed into a franchise of six films, including Rocky Balboa in 2006.In collaboration with Sylvester Stallone and Amazon MGM, this tome brings you all the guts and all the glory of the complete Rocky story. Copious images, including many on-set pictures from famed sports photographer Neil Leifer, come together with precious archival material from the Academy Library and Amazon MGM archive to reveal the making of an enduring action hero as much as a movie masterpiece. A foreword by Stallone and vintage interviews over the course of his career bring insight into the development of the hero and the franchise, as well as privileged access to the tenacity, spirit, and passion that characterized Rocky behind the scenes as much as on screen.

AN OPEN FIELD BOOK FROM MARIA SHRIVER

Your forties can feel like navigating a relentless wave of pressure. Questions such as "Am I where I 'should' be?", "Should I be married?", "Have kids?", "Switch careers?" often dominate our thoughts. For too long, society has marked this decade as one of decline and predictability. Today, though, it's anything but. Shaped by thrilling possibilities, your forties can be a time of profound self-discovery. You know yourself better than ever, and are finally ready to let go of the "shoulds."

In Being 40, journalist Stacey Lindsay crafts a new narrative that captures the diverse experiences of women entering midlife today, shattering the limiting stories. Through insights from experts such as Dené Logan, Vanessa Cornell, and Tara Mohr; candid interviews with real women; and her own journey, Lindsay provides a modern, bold exploration of marriage and relationships, living with and without kids, beauty standards, career transitions, and health shifts. Each chapter includes questions and prompts to help you uncover what you truly desire in this phase of life.

Being 40 is a brave and inclusive reframing of what it means to be a woman today, and a compass for anyone ready to trust their intuition, embrace change, and step fully into who they are.

In this gripping, moving, and genre-blending speculative debut, the world is unraveling from an epidemic of human vanishing. Two rookie agents from the Bureau of Depopulation Affairs are dispatched to small-town Kansas to investigate a woman who claims to have returned from Spontaneous Human Absence, offering answers that could change everything.

People are "popping." Disappearing, one by one, into thin air. A global cataclysm known as Spontaneous Human Absence. In a world where prospects for survival are increasingly grim, hopelessness prevails, political rifts widen, and doomsday predictions flourish.

Harvey Ellis works the night shift for the Bureau of Depopulation Affairs, an ad hoc federal agency meant to contain and catalog the crisis. Harvey's job: to investigate claims of Absence, and, if validated, issue a standard government stipend to boost morale. Still recovering from losses of his own, Harvey is content in his routine--until his life is shaken by an unexpected assignment from the central office.

A woman long thought Absent has reappeared in her hometown of Dawnville, Kansas, claiming she's been to the other side and back. But is her wild and irresistible account true, or is she just the latest false prophet, offering hope to a world desperate for it? Together with his no-BS partner, Shonda Erins, Harvey travels to Dawnville to find out.

A resonant portrait of a world beset by confusion and dismay, Andrew Dana Hudson's debut is a vividly imagined novel of cosmic proportions, examining life in a time of exception and the stories we tell to get by.
