Abigail Adams, Queen Charlotte, and Marie Antoinette--three women form an unlikely sisterhood, navigating revolutions, royal pressures, and personal losses as they shape their own legacies.

After the end of the American Revolutionary War, Abigail Adams crosses the Atlantic to reunite with her husband, John, after five long years apart. But she is unprepared for the glittering courts of England and France that are so different from her experience in the newly established United States. Undeterred, Abigail sets her sights on befriending the queens of Europe, believing their support is key to her nation's future.

In England, Queen Charlotte carries the weight of an empire on her shoulders. Her husband, King George III, battles a private madness, while political tensions rise and her eldest son schemes for power. Charlotte struggles to maintain order and propriety--while clinging to the solace she finds in her correspondence with her friend Marie Antoinette in France.

Revolution has gripped France, and Marie Antoinette must watch as her world crumbles. Vilified by the public and neglected by a king who refuses to see the storm coming, she faces growing unrest with dwindling allies. As tragedy strikes her family, she reaches out to her friends--Charlotte and Abigail--in a last attempt to find a path forward, possibly even escape.

The paths of these three women cross in unexpected ways in public, in private, and through letters. They forge a quiet sisterhood across borders and upheaval, each one facing love and loss, sweetness and strife, revolution and regrets.

In her third book, Kayne, the creator of the quiet-luxury lifestyle brand, presents inspiring interiors from an array of artisanal houses set in beautiful landscapes, showing us how to create spaces that encourage living well and sustainably in comfort and style.

A celebrated fashion and homewares designer, Kayne has become a leading tastemaker in interior design. Inspired by organic textures, thoughtful simplicity, and nature, Kayne embodies an earthy and effortless aesthetic that can be adapted, practiced, and experienced anywhere and everywhere.

Here, Kayne shares thoughtfully designed interiors of creative women and their families across the United States and the world. Although these homes span varied landscapes and climates, they all embrace a similar natural design ethos, whether by the ocean in California, among the redwoods in Washington, in the mountains of Colorado, on the coast of Portugal, or amid the dramatic natural settings of New Zealand.

What these interiors share is an artisanal quality, with an emphasis on natural materials and an organic approach to the designed space that's inspired by the surrounding landscape. Kayne is a minimalist, and she highlights the intentional interior choices made for each project, from the textures and finishes throughout, to the furniture and artwork, down to every design detail. With a mix of visual inspiration, interviews with the homeowners, and her own thoughtful ideas and tips, Kayne encourages us to create beautiful interiors that help us live joyfully and mindfully, reminding us to treat life's details with creativity and care.

Celebrated royal photographer Jackson unveils an intimate and visually striking new collection that offers a rare look at the evolving British monarchy.

For nearly two decades, Jackson has held a singular position: Getty Images' most trusted lens on the British monarchy. In Modern Majesty, he offers a compelling and beautifully curated portrait of a royal family reinventing itself in the twenty-first century. From King Charles III's historic accession and the growing roles of the Prince and Princess of Wales, to poignant family moments and wide-ranging public duties, Jackson captures the intimate and iconic moments that define this new royal era.

Featuring exclusive photographs--many never before published--and compelling behind-the-scenes commentary, Modern Majesty illuminates the balance between tradition and transformation. Whether photographing historic state occasions, tender private gatherings, diplomatic visits, or charity initiatives, Jackson brings warmth, dignity, and insight to every image. His work is the product of more than twenty years embedded within royal life, marked by trust, access, and a rare eye for authenticity.

Timely, elegant, and revealing, Modern Majesty is more than a photo book--it's a visual narrative of a monarchy adapting to modern expectations while holding fast to its enduring values. This new volume is Jackson's most personal and evocative work to date--and a must-have testament to the enduring resonance of the British royal family today.

The first book from AD100 and Elle Decor A-List designer Huh is filled with her elegant, colorful work, while inspiring readers to create different moods at home.

Acclaimed designer Huh's warm and welcoming interiors resonate with harmony, elegance, and dynamism, each room animated by sophisticated surface treatments, a singular play of pattern and color, and a touch of wanderlust. Her first book, composed of three distinct sections, is perfect for readers searching for sophisticated inspiration. Part one, A Mood, looks at decoration through the lens of mood: convivial, peaceful, joyful, cozy, verve, romantic, meaningful. For example, convivial spaces are ones that feel buzzy, excited, and alive, like an artist's salon; they use lighting to draw people together and seating arrangements to connect. Peaceful interiors are refuges made for reading with a cup of tea on a rainy day, surrounded by warm, natural textures and quiet colors. The second part of the book, A Thought, features three full houses recently completed by Huh, including a chic forever home, an old house full of whimsy, and an airy Park Avenue penthouse. The final section of the book, A Feeling, is about Young's own recently completed historic country house in upstate New York, from the pattern-filled rooms to the gardens and grounds, with images of life through the seasons. Together, these three sections make for a uniquely personal and beautiful book.

How people have reimagined the story of the ten plagues of Egypt, from antiquity to our own era of relentless catastrophe

People have been telling and retelling stories about disasters for as long as they have been telling stories. One of the oldest of such stories is the ten plagues in the book of Exodus, the series of disasters that forced the Egyptians to liberate the Israelites. These plagues packed enough catastrophe to fill a series of summer blockbusters--rivers of blood, invasions of frogs and insects, mass disease, fiery hail, smothering darkness, and a midnight massacre of the firstborn.

The story of the ten plagues resonates today, as we try to make sense of such calamities of modern life as pandemics, climate change, and war. In Disasters of Biblical Proportions, Steven Weitzman explores how people of later ages--artists, writers, activists, philosophers, believers and unbelievers alike--have reshaped the story of the ten plagues to give expression to their own trauma, outrage, guilt, humor, and hope.

Tracing the interpretation and retelling of each plague across time and space, Weitzman uncovers how this ancient tale found new meaning among Jews, Christians, and Muslims and continues to shape how people today understand the present and envision the future. Even as it recounts the history of how the ten plagues have been reimagined, Disasters of Biblical Proportions is also a history of people's search for shelter from the calamities of their own times--and of humanity's striving for justice, freedom, and redemption.

'Covers Pogi's meteoric rise, his victories and rivalries, while revealing more about the character behind the sporting domination' CYCLIST

'Excellent' DAVID WALSH, TWO-TIME WILLIAM HILL SPORTS BOOK OF THE YEAR WINNER

'Fascinating... draws on multiple sources to explain how the Slovenian became the best cyclist of his generation' THE TIMES

THE FIRST MAJOR BIOGRAPHY OF THE MODERN ERA'S GREATEST CYCLIST, WRITTEN BY WILLIAM HILL SPORTS BOOK OF THE YEAR AWARD-WINNING JOURNALIST.

Tadej Pogacar is not like any other professional cyclist. The Slovenian is a sporting phenomenon. He won almost everything there is to win in bike racing, has done so with breathtaking audacity and style - and all by the age of 26.

This comprehensive biography follows his meteoric rise to the top, recounts his greatest race wins and rivalries, and reveals the character, motivation and skills that have led to his domination of elite cycling.

Experienced cycling journalist Andy McGrath has documented the versatile superstar's development from his victory in the Tour de l'Avenir in 2018 to his Liège-Bastogne-Liège, Il Lombardia and Tour of Flanders successes and his historic 2024 season, when he won cycling's prestigious triple crown of the Giro d'Italia, the Tour de France and the World Championship road race. His victories include four Tours de France (2020, 2021, 2024 and 2025).

McGrath explores how this diminutive child from a small, mountainous nation of Slovenia first took up the sport, his emerging talent as a teenager and the role played by his UAE Team Emirates-XRG coaches and management. He also gets the inside story from those close to him, trusted teammates and fierce adversaries.

It is not only what Pogacar has won, but the manner in which he wins that also makes him so unique and popular. McGrath gets to the very heart of the cycling phenomenon that is 'Pogi' - and the fascinating young man behind the runaway success story.

Septimius Severus was Rome's black emperor. Born in the blistering heat of a North African spring in Leptis Magna AD 145, he died in the freezing cold of a northern British winter in York in AD 211. A giant of an emperor, whose career can be counted in superlatives, Severus was in power at the height of Rome's might. He led the largest army to ever campaign in Britain, comprising 50,000 men, part of a Roman military establishment which peaked at 33 legions under his rule.

Born into the richest family, in the richest part of the Roman Empire, Severus monumentalized his rule across the empire. He visited - and often fought in - every region. Where he did, he left a mighty legacy in the built environment, for example in Rome where much of the Forum Romanum and most of the imperial palaces are Severan. In North Africa, his hometown of Leptis Magna is all Severan, as are the Roman cities at the Atlas Mountains. In London, the land walls that still define the City's Square Mile were delineated under his rule. Visitors to the under croft at York Minster can stand where he died.

Septimius Severus was one of the greatest warrior emperors, a hard man who almost died in battle several times and whose attitude is reflected in his deathbed advice to two sons: 'Be of one mind with your family, enrich the soldiers, and despise the rest.'

"This book doesn't offer easy answers, but it offers something better--a way of seeing our shared vulnerability as the starting point for understanding what's breaking and what still might be saved.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​" --Esmé Weijun Wang, author of The Collected Schizophrenias

Winner of the 2024 J. Anthony Lukas Work-in-Progress Award

Science writer Lorraine Boissoneault has been in pain for most of her adult life. Unable to control or make sense of her chronic illness diagnoses, she began describing the ebb and flow of her symptoms as "body weather." At first an imaginative approach to coping with flare-ups, the phrase has become a waypoint in Lorraine's explorations of the intimate relationship between our fragile bodies and the world around us.

Visceral and poetic, these braided essays traverse science, history, and memoir to explore the interconnected relationships between the human body and Earth's meteorology--two chaotic systems that inform every cell of our beings. Boissoneault surveys her own "body weather," relating her dysregulated thyroid to global temperature fluctuations; her arrhythmic heart to chaotic thunderstorms; her inflamed joints to wildfires beyond control.

Body Weather is a lyrical exploration that reimagines the cloudy stages of grief and challenges us to reexamine universal questions lodged deep within: how do we find comfort and meaning in a fevered world?

The impassioned correspondence between the Nobel Prize-winning author and the renowned Spanish-born French actress who appeared in his plays, tracing the extreme highs and lows of their all-consuming love affair--a bestseller in France, translated for the first time into English

Albert. Albert chéri. Write me sweet, passionate things. Tell me you love me and how you love me. Tell me you'll take me to the sea one day--any sea at all--and that we'll spend time on the shore and in the water. Tell me you'll always be with me. Tell me about you, and especially today, talk to me about us. --Maria Casarès to Albert Camus, February 1, 1950

It's said that the affair began on June 6, 1944, the day the Allied forces landed in Normandy. The twenty-one-year-old Casarès was starring in a production of the thirty-year-old Camus's play The Misunderstanding--and one thing (an after-party hosted by Jean-Paul Sartre and Simone de Beauvoir) led to another.

Though their fling would be cut short by the end of the Occupation--and the return to Paris of Camus's wife, Francine--the two were destined to meet again: four years later, to the day, they crossed paths by chance on the Boulevard Saint-Germain.

Over the next twelve years, without interruption--until the car wreck of January 4, 1960, that stole Camus's life--the author and actress would correspond furiously, their words swelling and shimmering and surging like the ocean.

Ah! It's so hard to leave you, your dear face will again fade into the night, but I'll find you once more in this ocean you love, at the time of evening when the sky takes on the color of your eyes. --Albert Camus to Maria Casarès, June 1, 1949

Across 865 letters of immense and exquisite emotion, they cry and laugh and bicker and beg, make and break promises, talk Stendhal and Proust and Orwell, French theater, sickness, death, writer's block, and, most of all, they pine--leaving behind a record of one of the great love stories of the twentieth century.

From Stephen Orr, the former editor-in-chief of Better Homes and Gardens, comes a collection of essays and photographs that examines the restorative power of gardening, while revealing his own challenges in the garden and offering advice on growing plants and vegetables at home.

The road to great gardening is littered with dead plants.

Stephen Orr has written about gardening for most of his decades-long career, and now, in The Gardener's Mindset, he helps readers to understand not just how to garden but how to think about it. Inspired by the great tradition of twentieth-century garden essay collections by writers such as Vita Sackville-West, Elizabeth Lawrence, and Henry Mitchell, Orr brings his musings and practical advice to gardeners everywhere, no matter their skill level.

Alongside gorgeous photographs and easy projects that range from cultivating a color scheme to building a wildlife habitat, Orr delves into his personal gardening journey, pulling from the various gardens he and his husband created over the past decades. He remembers his first garden on a New York City rooftop, where he followed beginner's instinct to rearrange endlessly pots of old roses, herbs, perennials, and even trees. Later in Des Moines, the challenge of growing anything interesting in his shade-filled backyard led Orr to discover the beautiful patterns and colors of leafy lungworts and epimediums. And he shares how his current garden in Cape Cod is a work in progress and serves as his trial-and-error lab, where he is learning how to cultivate plants that can stay resilient in the face of dry sandy soil, dramatic coastal storms, and climate change.

These pages capture the emotional sense of well-being that gardeners experience when digging in the dirt: connecting with nature while entering a state of creative flow. Orr's distinct sense of wit and wisdom on every page lends the impression of having him by your side while on a personal garden tour. Whether kept on the nightstand as inspiration for the growing season or given as a gift, The Gardener's Mindset will delight anyone interested in the analog pleasures of being outdoors.
