Persuasive, captivating, and bursting with insight, this dual biography by acclaimed New York Times journalist Jim Windolf dives into the surprisingly supportive, occasionally rivalrous, and always fertile relationship between Bob Dylan and the Beatles, uncovering how they inspired and transformed each other as songwriters, recording artists, and cultural icons.

From Dylan's initial dismissal of the Beatles as being for "teenyboppers" to his realization that they were "pointing the direction where music had to go"--and from the Beatles' obsessive spinning of early Dylan records to their impromptu renditions of fifteen Dylan songs during the 1969 Get Back sessions--the book captures the moments that pushed Dylan to "go electric" and inspired the Beatles to deepen their lyrics. Highly entertaining and packed with backstage anecdotes, Where the Music Had to Go is a deep-focus portrait of a heretofore unexamined relationship, one full of camaraderie, competition, and mutual evolution.

More than a music biography, this is a front-row seat to the forces that shaped an era--an unmissable experience for music lovers, pop-culture buffs, and anyone curious about the magic that happens when legends collide.

Meadow Manor is a beautiful and evocative book on Rachel Ashwell's new English country home in Somerset, for followers of Shabby Chic and those who aspire to live the country dream.

Rachel's intentions were to decorate her home Meadow Manor sympathetically to the historical values and authentic details of the 17th-century farmhouse and treat its venerable old bones with respect. Much of her furniture transitioned seamlessly from California and Texas to Somerset--much-loved treasures found their place, miraculously and magically. The book explores every room of the house, beginning with the large country kitchen, the cosy sitting rooms and Rachel's studio. These are followed by four bedrooms, Rachel's bedroom, boudoir and bathroom, a laundry room and, up in the attic, a dedicated home for her treasured collection of linens and vintage textiles. All have been sensitively renovated, with many a story behind the decorative decision-making process. Rachel's home also includes a beautiful garden, a cluster of barns and a guest cottage for family and friends to immerse themselves into her whimsical world. Meadow Manor is a true labour of love, which will inspire readers who dream of creating their own country retreat.

The world needs more you in it. Because you have something unique that only you can give, a difference that only you can make.

Featuring a brandnew look, this popular book is a thoughtprovoking invitation to discover your gift, to honor and celebrate it, and to lead a life of passion and purpose. Offering a mix of powerful examples from past and present leaders as well as inspiring prompts and reflective spaces, it's a meaningful gift for volunteers, coworkers, clients, or friends to remind them they are meant to do incredible things. Features a debossed hardcover.

Lo hemos pasado en grande siendo Swifties, y ahora, esa historia --llena de felicidad, amistad, conexión, payasadas y canciones cantadas a pleno pulmón --está documentada en este tributo a la comunidad de fans y la razón por la que estamos todos aquí, Taylor Swift.

Todos sabemos cómo empezó una adolescente de Pensilvania que se mudó a Nashville y pronto ascendió hasta la cima de las listas de música country. Aquí es donde comenzó la historia de Taylor Swift en 2006, pero también es donde empezó nuestra historia como Swifties.

Nuestra historia es un emotivo viaje a través de la historia Swiftie, que muestra la evolución de una comunidad de fans que ha sobrevivido al paso del tiempo. Narrado a través de la lente de las experiencias personales, este libro es una crónica del auge de una comunidad que se ha mantenido ferozmente leal en cada etapa. Desde llamar a las emisoras de radio para pedir Tim McGraw, hasta momentos inolvidables en Tumblr en los que Taylor y los fans parecían un grupo de amigos y sobrevivir a una guerra con Ticketmaster --hemos estado ahí. Hemos aprendido lecciones vitales, intercambiado pulseras de la amistad, dominado las matemáticas de los husos horarios para conectarnos a directos, y creado un lenguaje que tan solo otro Swiftie --o la propia Taylor-- puede entender. Pero más allá de todos estos momentos compartidos, lo que verdaderamente nos une es el hecho de que las letras de Taylor parecen haber sido escritas solo para nosotros, como reflejos de nuestras propias historias.

Esta comunidad de fans, apasionada y única, ha ganado premios y se ha estudiado a fondo, pero, por primera vez, los fans pueden rememorar y celebrar lo que significa ser parte de esta comunidad que te cambia la vida. Una carta de amor escrita por una Swiftie para Swifties, Nuestra historia es una promesa de que nuestra historia jamás será olvidada.

In this companion to the instant New York Times bestselling Just Try It! by Netflix star Phil Rosenthal and his daughter Lily, an encouraging dad eases his daughter's worries about staying at Grandma's for the first time.

Lil is getting ready to stay with Grandma on her own for the first time. How exciting! Except...what if she only eats broccoli? What if her bed is made of rocks? What if the mailman is a giant elephant?

All these questions make Lil scared, but Phil has the perfect piece of advice for soothing her fears: Just try it. Sometimes we're scared of what we don't know, and that's okay. With a little help, Lil is ready to try.

What do I say to someone who is grieving?

When someone we love is grieving, we want to help, but we often don't know what to say. "I'm sorry" feels empty. "Let me know if there's anything I can do" puts pressure on them to ask. "Time heals all" only makes things worse. But what if, instead of avoiding the conversation or saying something unintentionally hurtful, you had three simple phrases that reliably offer comfort?

Of Course I'm Here Right Now is your guidebook to supporting a grieving friend, family member, client, or anyone who's grieving, and doing so with confidence and compassion. Here, experienced grief coach Shelby Forsythia introduces three essential phrases that, when used appropriately, can provide immediate relief and long-term reassurance.

Through real-life examples, practical scripts, and a sensitive, compassion-first approach, this book equips you to say something truly meaningful even when words feel inadequate, to show up for the grieving person in a way that strengthens your relationship, and to stop second-guessing yourself as you offer comfort that resonates.

Whether you're consoling someone after a death, divorce, diagnosis, or another loss, Of Course I'm Here Right Now ensures you'll never be at a loss for words again.

From award-winning Swedish author Per Gustavsson comes a touching story about life, death, and new beginnings.

A boy and his father live alone on an island. They play football, fish, and have a very happy life together. His father gives him advice, to avoid bears and sharks, but as the father's life comes to an end he remarkably turns into a tree...

"Everything will be all right," the branches creaked back.
It was as if his father were talking to him.

The boy must set out on his new life of his own. Along the way, he encounters new friends who help him discover that even after loss, life can still be filled with companionship and wonder.

For readers ages 6-8, The Boy, the Father, and the Bear, is a gentle meditation about the nature of life and finding your place in the world no matter what.

In this groundbreaking manual for longevity, leading longevity expert Jean-Marc Lemaitre reveals how the latest science can help you measure, slow, and even reverse biological aging at a cellular level.

For generations, we've accepted aging as an inevitable decline, measuring our years by birthdays while ignoring the more crucial metric--our biological age. Traditional medicine continues to treat the symptoms of age-related diseases rather than addressing their root cause: cellular aging itself. Too often, healthcare systems intervene only after disease has taken hold, managing decline rather than preventing it.

In Choose Your Age, Jean-Marc Lemaitre--a renowned biogerontologist (a scientist of biological aging and age-related diseases)--presents a revolutionary alternative: a personalized, proactive approach to longevity that targets the fundamental mechanisms of aging before disease begins.

This is not speculation or trendy "biohacking"--it's cutting-edge science: a comprehensive, evidence-based strategy for extending not just lifespan but healthspan, the years you spend free from disease and decline. Lemaitre's approach isn't prescriptive but educational, empowering you to understand the science of aging so you can make informed decisions about your health journey. In Choose Your Age, readers will discover:

• Why your chronological age is often misleading, and how new biological clocks can measure your true physiological age--revealing whether you're aging faster or slower than your peers.
• How telomeres, the protective caps on your chromosomes, influence aging, and what practical steps can help maintain their length and integrity.
• The revolutionary science of epigenetic reprogramming that could transform medicine's approach to aging by actually reversing cellular age.
• Why the Mediterranean diet and specific fasting protocols can dramatically impact longevity, and how to adapt these approaches to your unique biochemistry.
• How the lifestyles of centenarians in the world's "Blue Zones" offer practical insights for extending your own healthspan.
• The emerging potential of senolytic therapies, metformin, and rapamycin in targeting senescent "zombie cells" that accelerate aging.
• Why social connections, optimism, and time in nature are as crucial to longevity as any medical intervention--and how to incorporate them into your life.

Choose Your Age provides a new paradigm for thinking about aging, transforming it from an inevitable decline into a manageable process that you can influence at every stage of life. With this roadmap in hand, you can chart a different course for your future--one where each decade brings not just more years, but better ones.

Work isn't broken. It's just waiting to be better designed.

Unlock the hidden patterns that shape how work really works with this groundbreaking framework for designing it to be more adaptive, intelligent, and human.

What if the key to how we structure, organize, and lead work is already at our fingertips? Beneath the surface of our organizations lie hidden patterns: structures, rituals, and decisions that shape how work flows, who holds power, and what ultimately gets done.

Drawing on insights from cutting-edge organizations, behavioral science, and real-world experimentation, Hidden Patterns uncovers the invisible systems that drive success and failure in modern workplaces. Whether you're leading a team, redesigning an organization, or simply looking to work smarter, you'll find the tools to navigate complexity and make meaningful change.

Inside, you'll discover:

• Why org charts tell us almost nothing about how work actually happens, and how to map the real structure of influence, information flow, and decision-making
• How to replace rigid hierarchies with dynamic networks of teams without creating chaos, confusion, or shadow power structures
• Why most "accountability" systems backfire, and what to build instead to create ownership without surveillance
• The hidden role of space, movement, and physical environments in shaping collaboration, focus, and even risk-taking
• Why organizations that truly innovate don't just tolerate failure, they design for it in ways most companies get completely wrong
• How to dismantle the performative, time-wasting rituals of work while keeping (and amplifying) the ones that actually create value

Packed with compelling case studies and actionable insights, Hidden Patterns is an essential guide for anyone seeking to rethink the way work happens.

After the death of their mother, Birdy and Mouse are forced to start over in this debut novel about discovering where you belong­­--for fans of Forever This Summer and The Remarkable Journey of Coyote Sunrise.

Eleven-year-old Birdy and her younger brother, Mouse, have always looked out for each other. They make the perfect team: Birdy is realistic and practical, while Mouse is affable and trusting.

Their social worker has promised to find them a permanent home by the next school year, whether they want to leave or not. As the summer unfolds, Mouse starts to feel attached to their new life. But Birdy knows better--adults have never been reliable. When Birdy's fears get the best of her, she makes a big mistake that could jeopardize their future.

Heartfelt and emotionally resonant, this literary coming-of-age novel explores the unbreakable bond between siblings--and how family can be found in the most unexpected places.
