Recounts the remarkable story of University of Michigan basketball players Chris Webber, Jalen Rose, Juan Howard, Jimmy King, and Ray Jackson, and chronicles their success in the NCAA tournaments of 1992 and 1993.

This stunningly illustrated picture book biography from an acclaimed author and bestselling, award-winning artist paints an epic portrait of one of the most influential American presidents.

From the time he was a young boy roaming the forests of the remote Midwest, Abraham Lincoln knew in his heart that slavery was deeply wrong. A voracious reader, Lincoln spent every spare moment of his days filling his mind with knowledge, from history to literature to mathematics, preparing himself to one day lead the country he loved towards greater equality and prosperity for all people. Despite the obstacles he faced as a self-educated man from the back woods, Lincoln persevered in his political career, and his compassion and honesty gradually earned him the trust of many Americans. As president, he guided the nation through a long and bitter civil war and penned the document that would lead to the end of slavery in the United States.

The passion for humanity that defined Lincoln's life shines through in this addition to the highly acclaimed Big Words series, told in Doreen Rappaport's accessible, absorbing prose, and brought to life in powerful illustrations by Kadir Nelson.

A beautiful hardcover selection of the best poems from Alfred, Lord Tennyson. AN EVERYMAN'S LIBRARY POCKET POET.

Alfred, Lord Tennyson was a more complex writer than his status as Queen Victoria's favorite poet might suggest. Though capable of rendering rapture and delight in the most exquisite verse, in another mode Tennyson is brother in spirit to Poe and Baudelaire, the author of dark, passionate reveries. And though he treasured poetic tradition, his work nevertheless engaged directly with the great issues of his time, from industrialization and the crisis of faith to scientific progress and women's rights. A master of the short, intense lyric, he can also be sardonic, humorous, voluptuous, earthy, and satirical.

This collection includes Tennyson's most famous poems, as well as extracts from all the major masterpieces--"Idylls of the King," "The Princess," "In Memoriam," "The Lotos-Eaters"--and several complete long poems.

Including:

- "The Lady of Shalott"
- "The Charge of the Light Bridgade"
- "Break, Break, Break"
- "Come into the Garden, Maud"
- "Ulysses"
- "Demeter and Persephone"
- "Morte d'Arthur"

Everyman's Library pursues the highest production standards, printing on acid-free cream-colored paper, with full-cloth cases with two-color foil stamping, decorative endpapers, silk ribbon markers, European-style half-round spines, and a jewel-toned jacket.

Nestled in the blue mists of Tennessee's Smoky Mountains, the 10,000-acre bucolic refuge of Blackberry Farm houses a top-rated small inn with one of the premier farm-to-table restaurants in the country. This sumptuous cookbook offers a collection of recipes that are as inspired by the traditional rustic cooking of the mountainous south as they are by a fresh, contemporary, artistic sensibility. Some of the dishes are robust, others are astonishingly light, all are full of heart and surprise and flavor -- and all are well within the reach of the home cook.

California has the French Laundry, Virginia has the Inn at Little Washington, and Tennessee has Blackberry Farm, where the indulgences of a luxury inn are woven together with odes to nature -- fly-fishing, hiking, foraging, bird watching, and heirloom gardening -- to create a new way of looking at the world, a way in which anything seems possible.

This is particularly true at the Inn's table and in its award-winning wine cellar. To the farm's master gardeners, food artisans and chefs, meals are an opportunity to express not only the earth and the culture of this remote spot, but also its spirit. On a spring day this might mean Rye Whiskey-Cured Trout with Fresh and Pickled Fennel, and the summer garden might inspire a Chilled Corn Soup with Garlic Custard, a papardelle of baby carrots, or a tomato terrine. In the cooler weather, game and traditionally preserved food -- cider-basted venison, a shell-bean and gamebird cassoulet, a dried apple stack cake or Bourbon Apple Fried Pies -- keep conversation in front of the fire lively. For all its artfulness, however, Blackberry Farm's garden-to-table cooking tends to be an ode to a well-loved cast iron skillet, a backyard smoker or a wood-fired grill.

In the foothills, you don't eat to eat, you eat to talk, to remember and to imagine what you will eat tomorrow. In this book, the stories of the people who practice the traditional mountain food arts -- the bacon man, the heirloom gardener, the cheese maker and sausage man -- are woven together with the recipes, lore and regional history to reflect the spirit of the cooking at Blackberry Farm. Breathtaking photographs capture the magical world that surrounds the table -- the hills and rushing creeks, the lights and shadows of the forest, the moods and moments of the garden.

A tale from the Ila-speaking people of Zambia gets new life in this picture book adaptation from Coretta Scott King Award winner Ashley Bryan about appreciating one's heritage and discovering the beauty within.

Black is beautiful, uh-huh!

Long ago, Blackbird was voted the most beautiful bird in the forest. The other birds, who were colored red, yellow, blue, and green, were so envious that they begged Blackbird to paint their feathers with a touch of black so they could be beautiful too. Although Black-bird warns them that true beauty comes from within, the other birds persist and soon each is given a ring of black around their neck or a dot of black on their wings--markings that detail birds to this very day.

New for the fall season, this New York Times bestseller is now available in a sturdy board book edition, previously sold only through the gift set. Snowmen at Night reveals a wonderful wintertime secret--when we are sleeping, the snowmen are out playing! This exuberant, rhyming tale continues to delight young toddlers, as well as older readers, in a format that's just right for little hands.

The citizens of a small town discover that one of their own has gone missing, but also that this neighbor knew more about them than they know about each other. A group of amnesiac meteorologists find themselves in a wasteland and seem incapable of consensus on even the most basic questions. A husband discovers that his wife is shrinking but feels unable to help her or even get her to acknowledge her condition. The lives of the people in We Should Be Somewhere by Now are at turns magical and mundane, wonderful and pedestrian, feeling lost or antagonized where they most expect friendship and family. With singular style and grace, Stephen Tuttle explores what it means to be a stranger in familiar places and among familiar people.

This book is a vindication of Europe. It challenges the view of Europe as a tired, overregulated continent, arguing instead that Europe has emerged from decades of crisis-financial turmoil, Brexit, COVID-19, war in Ukraine-as a resilient, reformed, and quietly successful model of governance and society.

While the world often focuses on the rivalry between the U.S. and China, Europe has steadily built a different path: one defined by high living standards, strong public institutions, universal healthcare, and a commitment to sustainability and human rights. Its cities lead in quality of life, its democracies remain among the most robust, and its cultural and regulatory influence-exemplified by GDPR, climate policy, and social protections-extends globally.

In contrast, the United States, though still dominant in innovation, faces mounting internal challenges: political dysfunction, social fragmentation, inequality, and mistrust in institutions. The dynamism of Silicon Valley and Wall Street has come at the cost of social cohesion and civic faith.

Europe's success is not just relative-it is real. It has shown the ability to balance prosperity with inclusion, and pragmatism with principle. It also engages China on its own terms, defending democratic values while pursuing economic ties.

Yet, Europe suffers from a psychological weakness: a lack of self-confidence. Many Europeans feel peripheral in a fast-changing world. This insecurity fuels populism, EU skepticism, and nostalgic politics. The book counters this with evidence and clarity, reminding readers that Europe remains one of the best places on Earth to live, work, and raise a family.

While acknowledging unresolved issues-defense, migration, competitiveness-it argues that Europe's model is not obsolete, but exemplary. The continent's trajectory is positive. Its best days, the author suggests, may still lie ahead.

"A piercing ethnographic study of the power dynamics and misunderstandings that plague 'food justice' nonprofits."--Publishers Weekly

Breaks open the privilege and promise of food justice to envision a radical liberatory future.

Food justice activists have worked to increase access to healthy food in low-income communities of color across the United States. Yet despite their best intentions, they often perpetuate food access inequalities and racial stereotypes. Hanna Garth shows how the movement has been affected by misconceptions and assumptions about residents, as well as by unclear definitions of justice and what it means to be healthy. Focusing on broad structures and microlevel processes, Garth reveals how power dynamics shape social justice movements in particular ways.

Drawing on twelve years of ethnographic research, Garth examines what motivates people from more affluent, majority-white areas of the city to intervene in South Central Los Angeles. She argues that the concepts of "food justice" and "healthy food" operate as racially coded language, reinforcing the idea that health problems in low-income Black and Brown communities can be solved through individual behavior rather than structural change. Food Justice Undone explores the stakes of social justice and the possibility of multiracial coalitions working toward a better future.
