"Appelman writes with soul and swagger. The Cheating Side ignites from the very first page and burns everything in its path. A truly breathtaking read."

―Alex Gansa, creator of Showtime's Homeland series.

When Idaho private investigator Jimmy Chinden's murder investigation threatens a land deal worth millions, the politically protected Aryan mob comes gunning for his family―but the old money outlaws might be outgunned.

From the cheating side of Boise in Garden City, where Idahoans hide their dirtiest secrets, empty-nesting private investigator Jimmy Chinden is tracking a stolen 1961 Impala when he follows a column of smoke into the sagebrush to discover the vehicle―on fire, and with a body in the trunk.

The victim is a reviled swindler, who Jimmy suspects murdered his mother after bilking her out of the no-tell motel she owned. The body's discovery awakens generational demons and sets off a chain of dark events as Jimmy's theft case turns into a murder investigation, threatening to upend a land deal worth millions and putting Jimmy's family at risk as North Idaho white supremacists and their drug cartel associates come gunning for him.

With a cast of characters evoking Elmore Leonard's society of goons, and a connection to the landscape that is vivid, visceral, and reminiscent of James Lee Burke's Dave Robicheaux novels, Appelman's The Cheating Side provides a genre-pushing, socially relevant reinvigoration of the American crime novel protagonist, with a challenge to pervasive masculinity tropes and a biting, no-holds-barred attack on the bigotries of the American West.

Inspired by her popular Wild Thing podcast, journalist Laura Krantz incorporates the scientific method and her journalistic skills to determine if aliens might exist.

How likely is it that humans aren't alone in the universe? This serious but fun (and gorgeous) book is a great fit for any middle grade reader curious about the universe and our place in it.

Is There Anybody Out There? turns our collective gaze skyward: What's the likelihood of life on other planets? Or that aliens have already made the trip to visit us? How would they get here? Why do we want to find them? And what does it mean if we do (or don't)?

Guiding readers to challenge their gut assumptions and open their minds to new possibilities by using critical thinking and the scientific method, journalist Laura Krantz investigates the science, culture, and philosophy of a universe in which we're not alone--and why the idea of alien life has abducted our imaginations.

Reports of strange lights, UFO sightings, and alien encounters abound--and some (like recent accounts from US Navy pilots) sound highly credible. In recent years, armed with state-of-the-art technology and better information, the search for extraterrestrials overflows with exciting possibilities. Within our own solar system, astrobiologists search for the biochemical building blocks that might sustain microbes, astronomers discover far-flung stars, orbited by planets that could be teeming with life, and astrophysicists point sophisticated telescopes toward the deep reaches of the universe, looking for anything out of the ordinary.

An exploration of the rich creative influence of Italian Renaissance art on the designs of contemporary Italian fashion houses

Successful Italian fashion houses such as Armani, Dolce & Gabbana and Versace are among the most high-profile and cutting-edge on the global fashion scene. Many of the innovative designs created by these and other major Italian houses draw on imagery from Italy's rich cultural and artistic past. Weaving together insightful texts and vivid illustrations, this book explores the creative, cultural and social dialogues between contemporary Italian fashion houses and the enduring legacy of Renaissance Italy.

During the Renaissance, the Italian peninsula was dominated by powerful aristocratic families or "houses," such as the Medici in Florence and the Sforza in Milan, whose members used fashion and art to communicate their power. Through essays by scholars and fashion industry professionals, including Luca Missoni of the House of Missoni and Stefania Ricci, director of the Ferragamo Museum, this book provides an insider look at the creative connections between Italian Renaissance "houses" and contemporary Italian fashion houses, and the design innovations that celebrate the vital legacy of Italian Renaissance imagery. Art directed by Luca Stoppini, former Vogue Italia creative director, this book features an inventive, oversize design reminiscent of Vogue magazine's storied annual "September Issue," conveying a gripping story about contemporary Italian fashion and enlivened with runway and art images, as well as original photography inspired by nostalgic glossy editorials.

Break the Cycle: A Comprehensive Guide to Overcome Chronic Relationship Struggles

Few things are more frustrating than repeating the same fight with your partner. Playing out the same disagreement about money, parenting, sex, or household chores may leave you exhausted, cut off from the person you want to feel close to. While conflict in any relationship is inevitable, healing is possible. With In Each Other's Care, Stan Tatkin shares a hands-on repair manual that will help you discover how arguments get triggered, why they keep happening, and what you can do to get better at communicating what you want without the drama.

Drawing on his vast experience as a couples therapist, Tatkin uses the concept of secure functioning--a two-person psychological system of teamwork, full collaboration, and cooperation based on fairness, justice, and mutual sensitivity. This form of unionizing "takes time to learn," Tatkin says. "And still, the rewards are awesome and make the effort worthwhile. Secure functioning benefits you, your partner, your family, your friends, everything, and everyone."

Throughout In Each Other's Care, Tatkin offers targeted lessons, sample dialogues, and heartfelt wisdom. Through this life-changing practice, you will be able to:

- Identify the source of unhappiness in your relationship
- Learn techniques for preventing problems before they occur
- Heal the emotional wounds of the past
- Transform conflict and struggle into win-win outcomes
- Renew broken connections and return to intimacy

Whether you've been in a relationship for years or are just beginning the journey, In Each Other's Care is a wonderfully supportive guide that will show you how to work through even the most contentious topics with compassion and respect.

At thirty years old and unmarried, Vesta Blonik's future looks bleak when her widowed father remarries, sells the family farm, and moves away during the depths of the Great Depression, leaving her behind. With winter approaching, she seeks shelter with her brother Josef and his wife, Eva, in a nearby town. The two women start a laundry business to make ends meet, but when Eva announces she's expecting a baby, Vesta realizes she must forge her own path. Meanwhile, in eastern North Carolina, Gordon Crenshaw is engulfed in despair after losing his wife and newborn during childbirth. Concerned for his well-being, his family commits him to Dix Hill, the state mental hospital. Struggling against his grief, Gordon's disruptive behavior leads his family to seek his release, but they learn he can only be discharged if a suitable caretaker is found. Through connections in the Carolinas and Minnesota, the Crenshaws find Vesta and pose as Gordon, and her suitor, through letters that hide the truth of his situation. When Vesta agrees to marry Gordon, unaware of the deception, she travels south, only to learn the full extent of the Crenshaws' lie after the wedding. Bound by necessity and circumstance, Vesta and Gordon must navigate their new life amid the tobacco fields of North Carolina, confronting their pasts and discovering the possibility of love in unexpected places.

Three women narrate a perilous wagon journey westward that could set them free--or cost them everything they have--in this intergenerational verse novel that explores the history of the Black homesteader movement.

1879, Mississippi. Young dreamer Lettie may have her head in the stars, but her body is on a covered wagon heading westward. Her father, Thomas, promises that Nebraska will be everything the family needs: an opportunity to claim the independence they've strived for over generations on their very own plot of land.

But Thomas' hopes--and mouth--are bigger than his ability to follow through. With few supplies and even less money, the only thing that feels certain is danger.

Right after the war ended/and we were free/we believed/all of us did/that couldn't nothing hurt us/the way master had when we were slaves/Couldn't no one tell us/how to live/how to die.

Lettie, her mother, Sylvia, and young teacher Philomena are free from slavery--but bound by poverty, access to opportunity, and patriarchal social structures. Will these women survive the hardships of their journey? And as Thomas' desire for control overpowers his common sense, will they truly be free once they get there?

Coretta Scott King Honor-winning author Lesa Cline-Ransome's striking verse masterfully portrays an underrepresented historical era. Tackling powerful themes of autonomy and Black self-emancipation, Cline-Ransome offers readers an intimate look into the lives of three women and an expansive portrait of generations striving for their promised freedom.

From award-winning French writer Sibylle Grimbert comesThe Last of Its Kind, a moving story of friendship, trust, respect, and the desire to endure and survive.

In 1835, Gus, a young zoologist, is sent to Iceland by the Natural History Museum of Lille to study North Atlantic fauna. It is there that he witnesses the bloody massacre of a colony of great auks. Amidst the violence, the curious researcher pulls a single wounded bird from the water, unaware that he has recovered what will eventually be the last of its kind. Gus brings the initially suspicious animal home with him to study it. Instead of a research specimen, he discovers the beauty and majesty of his new companion, whom he names Prosp, and the pair eventually develop an endearing mutual affection.

Over the next fifteen years, Gus comes to realize that he is closely observing something inconceivable: the extinction of a species. From there, a singular preoccupation is born, and the inevitable fate of his feathered friend eclipses everything else around him. Gus's burgeoning understanding, wonder, and obsession around the disappearance of a species and humankind's role in its erasure mirror some of our questions today about the future of the natural world and our place within it.

¿Podrías enamorarte de un padre soltero... que además es tu jefe?

Llega la tercera parte de Mile High, el romance deportivo que ha enganchado a #Booktok.

Kai

Soy padre soltero y lanzador titular del principal equipo de béisbol de Chicago. No doy abasto para criar a mi hijo y todas las canguros anteriores me han durado solo unas semanas antes de despedirlas. Ahora, mi entrenador se ha puesto firme y ha contratado a la única persona a la que no puedo echar, su hija.

Miller Montgomery es la última mujer de la que debería enamorarme. Demasiado alocada, joven y desapegada. Chicago no es más que una breve parada para ella. Creía que contaría los días que faltaban para que se fuera, pero el verano es muy corto cuando quieres que se quede para siempre.

Miller

Como chef repostera de alto nivel, estoy desesperada por demostrar lo que valgo. Pero crear un postre nuevo inspirador es más difícil de lo que parece. Debería centrarme en la cocina, pero en cambio he dejado que mi padre me convenza para que pase mi tiempo libre cuidando al hijo de su jugador estrella.

Kai Rhodes ha olvidado cómo divertirse y yo me muero de ganas por refrescarle la memoria. Pero cuando su hijo y él empiezan a convertirse en un hogar para mí, tengo que recordarnos a ambos que me voy de Chicago al final del verano. No quiero abandonar mi vida anterior, pero, cuanto más tiempo paso con Kai, más pierdo el control.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Kai

I'm a single dad and starting pitcher for Chicago's MLB team.
I'm stretched too thin, but I don't want help raising my son.

Each of his previous nannies only lasted a few weeks before I let them go.
Now, my coach is putting his foot down by hiring the one person I can't fire-his daughter.

Miller Montgomery is the last woman I should fall for. Too wild, too young, and too unattached.

Chicago is just a quick stop for her. I thought I'd be counting down the days until she left, but summer feels too short when I start thinking about forever.

Miller

As a high-end pastry chef who recently won the most prestigious award in my industry, I'm desperate to prove I deserve it. But with a new title comes new pressure, and I can't create a fresh and inspiring dessert to save my life.

With only two months to get back on track, I should be focusing in the kitchen, but instead, I let my dad talk me into using my time off to nanny for his star player's kid.

Kai Rhodes forgot how to have fun, and I'm eager to jog his memory. But when he and his son start to feel like home, I have to remind us both that my time in Chicago ends with the summer.

Besides, I've always been a runner, and the last thing I want is to get caught.

The crowd roars in the packed arena as the dirt bikes take off. The bikes fly high over a triple jump. They dash over a sand section and twist around corners. It's a fight to the finish, and only one rider will come out on top. Put readers in the center of the supercross action as they learn about everything from race rules to track features and equipment. Carefully leveled, high-energy text helps ensure accessibility for even the most reluctant readers.
