● Mahurin is a highly regarded

illustrator, photographer and

filmmaker with strong media ties

and a highly original aesthetic

● A Rock & Roll Hall of Fame

inductee since 2011, Tom Waits

was included among the 2010 list

of Rolling Stone’s “100 Greatest

Singers” as well as the 2015 list

of Rolling Stone’s “100 Greatest

Songwriters of All Time”

● Features over 150 drawings,

paintings, illustrations, digital

images, live concert shots, and

music video stills of Waits as

various characters and iterations

of himself—visual equivalents of

the mysterious and mischievous

worlds evoked in his music

This visually arresting book is a testament to the

unique collaboration, going back three decades,

between the photographer and illustrator Matt

Mahurin and the musician Tom Waits.

Having shot magazine portraits, album covers,

and music videos of Waits, Mahurin was inspired to

resurrect 100 dormant film negatives as a jumping off

point to explore his own surreal, poetic, and occasion-

ally dark vision. The images vary from traditional por-

traits to ones that capture Waits in concert—but the

majority are richly imagined scenes in which Waits is

more muse than musician. In addition to the diverse

images, the book includes a foreword by Waits, an

essay by Mahurin on their longtime collaboration, and

20 original paintings, drawings, photographs, and

digital images inspired by Waits’s song titles.

Matt Mahurin’s work has appeared in Time,

Newsweek, Mother Jones, Rolling Stone, Esquire, and

the New York Times. He has directed music videos

for Waits, U2, Metallica, Sting, David Byrne, Lou Reed,

and Joni Mitchell. He lives in California. Tom Waits is

an American singer-songwriter, musician, composer,

and actor. He has won multiple Grammy Awards and

was nominated for an Academy Award for the original

score for One from the Heart. In 2016, he received

the PEN Literary Award for Song Lyrics.

Widely regarded as one of the most important graphic artists

of his generation, Stanley Donwood is the man behind

Radiohead’s signature, yet ever-evolving, visual aesthetic. His influ-

ential work spans many practices over a 23-year period, from music

packaging to installation work to printmaking. Here, he reveals

his personal notebooks, photographs, sketches, and abandoned

routes to iconic Radiohead artworks. Arranged chronologically,

each chapter is dedicated to a major work—whether an album cover,

promotional piece, or a personal project—and is presented as a

step-by-step working case study. Featuring commentary by Thom

Yorke and never-before-seen archival material, this is the first deep

dive into Donwood’s creative practice and the artistic freedom

afforded to him by working for a major music act. It is a must-have

for fans of the band and anyone interested in graphic design and

popular culture.

Stanley Donwood is an artist and writer who has collaborated with

Radiohead since the release of their single “My Iron Lung” in 1994.

In addition to his work for Radiohead, Donwood maintains a website,

Slowly Downward, of his stories and other writings. He has also

exhibited prints and drawings in London and elsewhere.

This classic volume on Leonardo’s paintings captures

the magical qualities that make him one of the most

beloved painters in the history of art. Pietro Marani’s definitive

text is accompanied by hundreds of reference images that

immerse the reader in Leonardo’s world and studio. Every

known painting is discussed in depth, and enlarged details

Leonardo da Vinci. A professor of art history at the Politecnico

of Milan, he has published many articles and volumes on

Italian Renaissance art, edited more than 20 scholarly books

Celebrated as the supreme painter of the human condi-

tion, Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn (1606–1669)

famously turned the intense spotlight of his empathetic vision

on himself. In the course of 60 years, he produced more

than 50 self-portraits, in mediums ranging from paintings to

drawings to engravings. Rembrandt stood at the beginning of

a long tradition of self-portraiture—one that has given us both

Cindy Sherman in the high arts, and selfies as the primary form

of visual self-expression in everyday life—and he explored

its potential in a thoroughly modern way. He portrayed the

face he turned to the world, from youth to old age: a dandy,

a husband, an artist, a solitary genius, among many other

characters. He captured inner states that are universal to

existence. Rembrandt by Rembrandt reproduces Rembrandt’s

self-portraits, with commentary about each one, in an appeal-

ing portable format that makes a perfect gift for any art lover.

Pascal Bonafoux is an art historian and the author of a prize-

winning book on self-portraits, among many others. He lives

in Paris.

Richard Avedon was one of the most sought-after and influential advertising photographers in

America from the 1940s to the beginning of the 21st century, creating work that exemplified

Madison Avenue at the height of its influence in world culture. Working with a talented cadre of mod-

els, copy writers, and art directors, Avedon made images that enticed consumers to embrace the new,

especially in the areas of fashion and beauty, with campaigns for Revlon, Chanel, Calvin Klein, Dior,

and Versace, among many others. Avedon Advertising tells this story, reproducing memorable ads

that range from the buoyant 1940s and 1950s, when post-war prosperity opened up new experiences

to consumers; through the explosive ’60s; and into the era defined by celebrity culture and global

brand awareness.

Laura Avedon and James Martin are the directors of the Richard Avedon Foundation in New York

City. Rebecca Arnold is senior lecturer in history of dress and textiles at the Courtauld Institute of Art

in London. Her books include The American Look (2008) and Fashion: A Short Introduction (2009).

She lives in London.

From the author of Dressing the Man, the seminal tome on men’s fashion,

comes the illustrated biography of Ralph Lauren. Published in time for

Lauren’s 80th birthday on October 14, 2019, Alan Flusser’s book looks at the life of

high-level, yet intimate, reflection on the life and work of Ralph Lauren shows how

a preppy young boy from the Bronx created one of the most recognizable brands in

American fashion.

Alan Flusser is the author of a number of books about men’s style, including the

bestselling Dressing the Man. Flusser is also well known for creating for Michael

Douglas’s wardrobe in Wall Street, as well as his costume work in classic movies

president of Alan Flusser Designs, a company that he founded in 1979. In 1988,

Flusser secured a permanent spot on Vanity Fair’s International Best-Dressed List.

He lives in New York.

In February 2017, Prabal Gurung ended his show with a parade of feminist tees featuring phrases

like “This Is What a Feminist Looks Like,” “Voices for Choices,” and “We Will Not Be Silenced.” A year

later, his collection took inspiration from two female-dominated Asian cultures.

Activism is built into designer Gurung’s ethos and the celebration of female empowerment serves

as a constant focal point of his designs. He presents femininity with a bite, beauty with substance, and

a diverse, inclusive world that is “Stronger in Color.”

Prabal Gurung offers a window into Gurung’s design process, and it is filled with inspiration, mood

boards, sketches, runway shots, and photographs of the clothing from the last 10 years. The Prabal

Gurung woman is modern, intelligent, elegant, assured, and socially responsible, and this book is a

celebration of people of all ages, races, shapes, sizes, sexualities, and identities.

Prabal Gurung launched his eponymous collection in February 2009 with a philosophy encompass-

ing modern luxury, indelible style, and an astute sense of glamour. Originally from Nepal, he lives in

Chanel: The Making of a Collection traces the design process of the world-renowned fashion

house, revealing how a collection is created. Moving from the studio to the fashion show,

fashion writer Laetitia Cénac has unprecedented access to explore a world that is usually carefully

guarded from the public eye. With hundreds of beautifully rendered fashion illustrations from

acclaimed artist Jean-Philippe Delhomme, Karl Lagerfeld’s approach to design is brought to life, as

are the talents of the masterfully skilled artisans—the embroiderers, flower makers, shoemakers, hat

makers, and more—who specialize in everything from buttons and leather to lace, silk, and cashmere.

Delving into the history and culture of the brand, while also detailing contemporary collections,

Chanel: The Making of a Collection is a richly visual insider’s look at the enduring creative legacy of

this haute couture icon.

To date, there has never been a book devoted

exclusively to black models. Supreme Models fills

that void, paying tribute to black models past and present:

from the first to be featured in catalogs and on magazine

covers, like Iman, Beverly Johnson, and Donyale Luna, to

the supermodels who reigned in the nineties—Tyra Banks

and Naomi Campbell. The book also observes the newest

generation of models—Adwoa Aboah, Jourdan Dunn, and

Joan Smalls—who are shaking up the fashion industry by

speaking out about racial prejudice and becoming social

media sensations.

Written by celebrity stylist and journalist Marcellas

Reynolds, Supreme Models features more than 70 women

from the last 60 years. The book is filled with gorgeous pho-

tographs of the women, and details their most memorable

covers, campaigns, runway shows, and editorials. Black

models have been influencing fashion and pop culture for

decades, reshaping the standards and boundaries of beauty.

Supreme Models is a celebration of their monumental impact.

When an X-Files fan opens up The X-Files: The

Official Archives, they are gaining access—for

the first time—to Agents Mulder and Scully’s notes,

records, and visual evidence from actual X-File reports.

Designed to mimic a collection of FBI case files and

packed with such items as autopsy reports, mug shots,

lab results, handwritten notes, newspaper clippings,

pages ripped from antique books on the occult, and secu-

rity camera printouts, this fully authorized book is the only

one of its kind. Detailing the agents’ investigations into 50

cases of cryptids, biological anomalies, and parapsychic

phenomena—from the Flukeman to The Great Mutato

to Pusher—The X-Files: The Official Archives showcases

some of the show’s greatest villains (some dastardly,

some just misunderstood), and instructs future agents on

how to successfully investigate the paranormal.

Paul Terry is a bestselling author, music artist, and

producer. Together with Tara Bennett, he coauthored

Fringe: September’s Notebook, Lost Encyclopedia, The

Official Making of Big Trouble in Little China, and more.

● The first reference work about

● Author appearances and lectures

on noir and television

● Chronicles the evolution of

the genre beginning with live

television and the anthology

series of the 1940s to classics

such as The Fugitive and Dragnet

Noir—as a style, movement, or sensibility—has its

roots in hardboiled detective fiction by writers like

Chandler and Hammett, and films adapted from their novels

were among the first called “film noir” by French cinéastes.

But film isn’t the only medium with a taste for a dark story.

Hundreds of noir dramas have been produced for televi-

sion, featuring detectives and femmes fatales, gangsters,

and dark deeds, continuing week after week, with a new

disruption of the social order. In TV Noir, television historian

Allen Glover presents the first complete study of the subject.

Deconstructing its key elements with astute analysis, from

NBC’s adaptation of Woolrich’s The Black Angel to the

anthology programs of the ’40s and ’50s, from the classic

period of Dragnet, M Squad, and 77 Sunset Strip to neo-

noirs of the ’60s and ’70s including The Fugitive, Kolchak,

and Harry O., this is the essential volume on TV noir.

Allen Glover is a film and television historian. As a curator at

the Paley Center for Media, he created exhibitions on such

cultural icons as David Bowie, Rod Serling, Robert Altman,

and Buster Keaton. He lives in Los Angeles. Visit his website

Every week, Yvette van Boven develops a new oven recipe for her magazine column. The recipes

are seasonal, delicious, and most importantly, really simple, and now, they’re collected in her

latest cookbook: Home Made in the Oven.

What is van Boven serving up fresh from her oven this time? How about autumnal stuffed

Portobello mushrooms, a freshly baked plum pie, or cabbage rolls with caraway and hazelnuts.

Alongside the more than 80 recipes are van Boven’s annotated illustrations and photographs of

finished dishes. For van Boven, everything belongs in the oven: vegetables, meat, fish, pizza, stews,

and of course, sweets! The recipes are sure to provide you with plenty of tips, tricks, and inspiration

for cooking in your oven.

Yvette van Boven is a critically acclaimed cookbook author, freelance recipe writer, and illustrator.

She is the host of Holland’s popular cooking show Koken Met van Boven, and is also the culinary

editor of Holland’s largest women’s weekly magazine and writes and illustrates a weekly column for

From Scratch looks at 10 favorite meals, including roast

chicken, the perfect omelet, and paella—and then,

through 150 recipes, explores myriad alternate pathways

that the kitchen invites. A delicious lasagna can be ready in

about an hour, or you could turn it into a project: try making

and adding some homemade sausage. Explore the limits of

from-scratch cooking: make your own pasta, grow your own

tomatoes, and make your own homemade mozzarella and

ricotta. Ruhlman tells you how.

There are easy and more complex versions for most

dishes, vegetarian options, side dishes, sub-dishes, and

strategies for leftovers. Ruhlman reflects on the ways that

cooking from scratch brings people together, how it can

calm the nerves and focus the mind, and how it nourishes us,

body and soul.

Michael Ruhlman is the author of critically acclaimed books

including Grocery, The Soul of a Chef, The Elements of

Cooking, Ratio, and Ruhlman’s Twenty. He has collaborated

on several bestselling cookbooks, including The French

Laundry Cookbook, Bouchon, and Alinea. He divides his

with compelling history and lore

Wood reclaimed from old houses, factories,

become a valuable commodity, treasured for the patina

that gives witness to its history. Our ancestors built

well, using locally sourced lumber that expressed the

culture and natural history of their region: oak and pine

in the Northeast; hickory and cypress in the South;

Douglas fir and redwood in the West. Reclaimed Wood:

A Field Guide is the first complete visual handbook to

this popular resource, covering history, culture, salvage,

sources, contemporary uses (in buildings and furniture),

and practical advice.

Klaas Armster and Alan Solomon are partners at Sawkill

Lumber Company, a leading Brooklyn-based supplier

Armster lives in Guilford, Connecticut. Solomon has

Down to Earth picks up right where Lauren Liess’s

critically acclaimed Habitat left off. While Habitat

walked readers through the decorating process step-by-

step, Liess’s latest title takes a step beyond the basics

and invites readers to incorporate the main components

of her familiar design aesthetic: nature, easy living, and

approachability. With evocative photos and substantive

design advice, Down to Earth focuses on creating a

lifestyle that inspires creativity and functionality.

Throughout the book, Liess shows readers how to

incorporate six guiding principles in six unique homes:

a new farmhouse, a classic American historical home, a

lakeside contemporary house, a modern villa, a turn-

of-the-century American Foursquare, and a cedar and

glass house on a bluff. While each home has a different

architectural style, fingerprints of Liess’s down-to-earth

style are evident throughout.

Lauren Liess is a decorator, textile and furniture designer,

and founder of the popular design blog Pure Style Home.

She and her husband now star in the new HGTV show,

Best House on the Block, which features the design,

renovation, and decorating of clients’ homes. Liess lives

● There is an energetic resurgence

in the traditional arts of knotting.

The Year of Knots is both a

comprehensive knotting guide

and a modern look at reinventing

your career to pursue what

you love

● This is not a retro macramé

handbook. No plant hangers

grace its pages. Instead, the

book celebrates the beauty,

function, and history of knots,

with more than 200 examples

and instructions for creating

contemporary, of-the-moment

projects

● The book is brimming with an

array of things to make—from

a simple knotted necklace to

woven wall hangings large

and small to the lovely (and

hugely popular) ceiling-affixed

Helix Light

Every day for a year, artist Windy Chien learned to tie

a new kind of knot and then shared the results on

Instagram—revolutionizing knot art and reinventing her

life and career in the process. In The Year of Knots, Chien

describes how her knot-making project led her on a path

of discovery. The book combines projects, tutorials, and

transformative personal stories, all aimed at inspiring

readers to make knotting—and creativity in general—part

of a meditative daily practice. The knots in the book are

gorgeously documented step-by-step for the many knot- and

macramé-obsessed readers out there wanting to try it them-

selves. Knotted projects abound: a necklace, a key chain, a

dog leash, along with wall hangings and a hanging light. At

the heart of the story is the simple, empowering idea that a

single year is all the time you need to make a life-changing

creative leap.

Windy Chien’s work has been featured in Wired, the New

Chronicle. It is displayed at The San Francisco Museum of

In November 2000, after receiving an anonymous fax that alleged R. Kelly had a problem

with “young girls,” journalist Jim DeRogatis broke a shocking story wide open, publishing

allegations that the R&B superstar had groomed girls, sexually abused them, and paid them off.

DeRogatis thought his work would have an impact; instead Kelly’s career flourished. No one

seemed to care: not the music industry, not the culture at large, not the parents of numerous

other young girls. But for more than 18 years, DeRogatis stayed on the story—he was the one

sent the disturbing videotape that led to Kelly’s child pornography trial, he was the one whose

window was shot out, he was the one who women trusted with their stories.

Soulless: The Case Against R. Kelly is DeRogatis’s masterpiece, a work of tenacious

journalism and powerful writing. It is an outrageous, darkly riveting account of the life and

actions of R. Kelly, and their horrible impact, by the only person to tell it.

Jim DeRogatis is an associate professor of instruction at Columbia College Chicago and the

host, with Greg Kot, of the nationally syndicated public radio show Sound Opinions. The author

of Let it Bleed: The Life and Times of Lester Bangs and other books, he spent 15 years as the

pop music critic at the Chicago Sun-Times. He lives in Chicago.

SoullessTHE CASE AGAINST R . KE LLY

● BY J IM DeROGATIS

The essential account of R. Kelly’s actions and their consequences, a reckoning

two decades in the making

“There really isn’t anyone more qualified to write about the saga of R. Kelly

than Jim DeRogatis. Jim has done the work. He’s built the relationships. He’s

cared about the outcome for almost two decades. It’s clear that Kelly isn’t

just his white whale but that he sees the humanity in the women who have

survived R. Kelly. We really only need to hear from Jim.” —Tarana Burke

“Jim DeRogatis heroically and doggedly pursued the story of R. Kelly’s predation

on young women when the rest of the world simply would not care. For much of

his career, Jim has been a music journalist, which means his livelihood depends

on the good will and access to musicians and the music industry. All of which

he jeopardized by revealing the darkest truths about one of its biggest stars.

Give the man a Pulitzer, or something. Praise his name.” —Peter Sagal

Professional, Wilson teaches

Cider is the quintessential American beverage. Drank by early settlers and founding fathers, it

was ubiquitous and pervasive, but following Prohibition when orchards were destroyed and

neglected, cider all but disappeared. In The Cider Revival, Jason Wilson chronicles what is happening

now, an extraordinary rebirth that is less than a decade old.

Following the seasons through the autumn harvest, winter fermentation, spring bottling, and

summer festival and orchard work, Wilson travels around New York and New England, with forays

to the Midwest, the West Coast, and Europe. He meets the new heroes of cider: orchardists who

are rediscovering long lost apple varieties, cider makers who have the

attention to craftsmanship of natural wine makers, and beverage profes-

sionals who see cider as poised to explode in popularity. What emerges

is a deeply rewarding story, an exploration of cider’s identity and future,

and its cultural and environmental significance. A blend of history and

travelogue, The Cider Revival is a toast to a complex drink.

Jason Wilson is an award-winning journalist and the author of

Boozehound and Godforsaken Grapes. The series editor for Best

American Travel Writing since its inception in 2000, Wilson has also

written for the Washington Post, the New York Times, The New Yorker,

and many others. He lives in the Philadelphia suburbs.

In the 1970s, New York City was plagued by crime, filth, and an ineffective government. The city was

falling apart, and even the newly constructed World Trade Center threatened to be a fiasco. But in

April 1976, a quarter-mile up on the 107th floor of the North Tower, a new restaurant called Windows

on the World opened its doors—a glittering sign that New York wasn’t done just yet.

In The Most Spectacular Restaurant in the World, journalist Tom Roston tells the complete history

of this incredible restaurant, from its stunning $14-million opening to 9/11 and its tragic end. There are

stories of the people behind it, such as Joe Baum, the celebrated restaurateur, who was said to be

the only man who could outspend an unlimited budget; the well-tipped waiters; and the cavalcade

of famous guests, as well as everyday people celebrating the key

moments in their lives. Roston also charts the changes in American

food, from baroque and theatrical to locally sourced and organic.

Built on more than 200 original interviews, The Most Spectacular

Restaurant in the World is the story of New York City’s restaurant

culture and the quintessential American drive to succeed.

A journalist for over 20 years, Tom Roston worked at The

Nation and Vanity Fair, and was a senior editor at Premiere for a

decade. His work has appeared in the New York Times, New York

Magazine, and more. Roston writes about documentary films for

PBS.org. He lives in Brooklyn, New York.

Alice Walker made history in 1982 when she became the first black woman to win the Pulitzer Prize

and the National Book Award, both for The Color Purple. Published in the Reagan Era amid a

severe backlash to civil rights, the jazz age novel tells the story of an African-American woman haunted

by domestic and sexual violence.

Prominent academic and activist Salamishah Tillet combines cultural criticism, history, and memoir to

explore Walker’s epistolary novel, and shows how it has influenced and been informed by the zeitgeist

of the time. The Color Purple received both praise and criticism upon publication, and the conversation

it sparked around race and gender still continues today. It has been adapted for an Oscar-nominated

film and a hit Broadway musical. Through interviews with Walker, Oprah Winfrey, Quincy Jones, and

others, as well as archival research, Tillet studies Walker’s life and the origins

of her subjects, including violence, sexuality, gender, and politics. Reading The

Color Purple at age 15 was a groundbreaking experience for Tillet. It continues to

resonate with her—as a sexual violence survivor, as a teacher of the novel, and as

an accomplished academic. Provocative and personal, In Search of the Color Purple

is a bold work from an important public intellectual.

Salamishah Tillet is a scholar, cultural critic, and activist. A professor at Rutgers

University-Newark, she is a regular contributor to the New York Times. She lives in

New Jersey.

● 2019 marks the 70th anniversary

of 1984’s publication

● D. J. Taylor is the author of the

Whitbread Biography Award-

winning volume Orwell: The

Life, considered the definitive

biography of George Orwell. He

is also a trustee of the Orwell

Foundation

● In the age of “alternative facts,”

1984 has become prominent

once again, revisited by tens of

thousands of readers and rising

to the top of bestseller lists

Since its publication nearly 70 years ago, George Orwell’s 1984 has been regarded as one of

the most influential novels of the modern age. Politicians have testified to its influence on their

intellectual identities, rock musicians have made records about it, TV viewers watch a reality show named

for it, and a White House spokesperson tells of “alternative facts.” The world we live in is often described

as an Orwellian one, awash in inescapable surveillance and invasions of privacy.

On 1984 dives deep into Orwell’s life to chart his earlier writings and key moments in his youth, such

as his years at a boarding school, whose strict and charismatic headmaster shaped the idea of Big Brother.

Taylor tells the story of the writing of the book, taking readers to the Scottish island of Jura, where Orwell,

newly famous thanks to Animal Farm but coping with personal tragedy and rapidly declining health,

struggled to finish 1984. Published during the cold war—a term Orwell coined—Taylor elucidates the

environmental influences on the book. Then he examines 1984’s post-publication life, including its role as

a tool to understand our language, politics, and government.

In a current climate where truth, surveillance, censorship, and critical think-

ing are contentious, Orwell’s work is necessary. Written with resonant and

reflective analysis, On 1984 is both brilliant and remarkably timely.

D. J. Taylor is a British critic, novelist, and biographer. Taylor contributes to

many newspapers including the Guardian and the Daily Telegraph. Taylor

resides in Norwich, England.

PRAISE FOR Orwell: The Life

“Idiosyncratic and analytical . . . the

standard biography.” —New York Times

“Taylor is an accomplished literary critic

and he illuminates Orwell’s work in the

context of his life, elegantly and expertly

charting his course from Grub Street

to bestsellerdom.” —The Guardian

“Taylor writes with such skill and

aplomb that it’s impossible not to be

swept along by the intelligence of his

observations, or by the little biographical

meditations that intersperse the

narrative.” —The Independent

sort freshly shorn wool on a working farm, and learns how wool fleece is measured, baled, shipped,

and turned into skeins.

In pursuit of the perfect yarn, Parkes describes a brush with the dangers of opening a bale (they

can explode), and her adventures from Maine to Wisconsin (“the most knitterly state”) and back again;

along the way, she presents a behind-the-scenes look at the spinners, scourers, genius inventors, and

crazy-complex mill machines that populate the yarn-making industry. By

the end of the book, you’ll be ready to set aside the backyard chickens

and add a flock of sheep instead. Simply put, no other book exists that

explores American culture through the lens of wool.

Author of six books, including the New York Times-bestselling

Knitlandia, Clara Parkes has dedicated her life to figuring out what

makes yarn tick—and finding the right words to write about it. Through

her writings, workshops, and appearances, Clara champions the notion

of paying closer attention to what you knit and where it came from. She

lives in Portland, Maine.

Vanishing FleeceADVENTURES IN AMERICAN WOOL

● BY CL AR A PARKES

A fast-paced account of the year Clara Parkes spent transforming a 676-pound bale of fleece

into saleable yarn, and the people and vanishing industry she discovered along the way

Threads of LifeA HISTORY OF THE WORLD THROUGH THE E YE OF A NEEDLE

● BY CL ARE HUNTER

A globe-spanning history of sewing, embroidery, and the people who have used a needle

and thread to make their voices heard

In 1970s Argentina, mothers marched in headscarves embroidered with the names of their

“disappeared” children. In Tudor, England, when Mary, Queen of Scots, was under house arrest, her

needlework carried her messages to the outside world. From the political propaganda of the Bayeux

Tapestry, World War I soldiers coping with PTSD, and the maps sewn by schoolgirls in the New World,

to the AIDS quilt, Hmong story clothes, and pink pussyhats, women and men have used the language

of sewing to make their voices heard, even in the most desperate of circumstances.

Threads of Life is a chronicle of identity, protest, memory, power, and politics told through the

stories of needlework. Clare Hunter, master of the craft, threads her own narrative as she takes

us over centuries and across continents—from medieval France to

contemporary Mexico and the United States, and from a POW camp

in Singapore to a family attic in Scotland—to celebrate the age-old,

universal, and underexplored beauty and power of sewing. Threads of

Life is an evocative and moving book about the need we have to tell

our story.

Clare Hunter has sewn since she was a child. She has been a banner

maker, community textile artist, and textile curator for over 20 years

and established the community enterprise NeedleWorks in Glasgow.

She was a recipient of a Creative Scotland Award in 2016. She lives

near Stirling in Scotland.

“Threads of Life is a beautifully

considered book . . . Clare Hunter

has managed to mix the personal

`with the political with moving

results.” —Tracy Chevalier, author

of The Girl with a Pearl Earring

“Compelling and beautifully

written.” —The Bookseller

Published from 1936 to 1966, the Green Book was hailed as

the “black travel guide to America.” At that time, it was very

dangerous and difficult for African-Americans to travel because

black travelers couldn’t eat, sleep, or buy gas at most white-

owned businesses. The Green Book listed hotels, restaurants,

gas stations, and other businesses that were safe for black

travelers. It was a resourceful and innovative solution to a horrific

problem. It took courage to be listed in the Green Book, and

Overground Railroad celebrates the stories of those who put their

names in the book and stood up against segregation. It shows

the history of the Green Book, how we arrived at our present

historical moment, and how far we still have to go when it comes

to race relations in America.

Before Chef Aarón Sánchez rose to fame on shows like MasterChef and Chopped, he was a

restless Mexican-American son, raised by a fiercely determined and talented woman who was

a successful chef and restaurateur in her own right—she is credited with bringing Mexican cuisine

to the New York City dining scene. In many ways, Sánchez, who lost his father at a young age, was

destined to follow in his mother Zarela’s footsteps. He spent nights as a child in his family’s dining

room surrounded by some of the most influential chefs and restaurateurs in New York. At 16, needing

direction, he was sent by his mother to work for renowned chef Paul Prudhomme in New Orleans.

In this memoir, Sánchez delves into his formative years with remarkable candor, injecting his story

with adrenaline and revealing how he fell in love with cooking and started a career in the fast-paced

culinary world. Sánchez shares the invaluable lessons he learned from his upbringing and his

training—both inside and outside the kitchen—and offers an intimate look into the chaotic and untra-

ditional life of a professional chef and television personality. This memoir is Sánchez’s highly personal

account of a fatherless Latino kid whose talent and passion took him to the top of his profession.

Aarón Sánchez is an award-winning chef, TV personality, cookbook author, and philanthropist. He is

the costar of the hit series MasterChef and MasterChef Jr. and has starred and guest-starred on many

television series on Food Network and Cooking Channel. He lives in New Orleans.

● This year saw a major resurgence

in interest in Rogers, who has

a special place in the hearts of

millions

Fred Rogers (1928–2003) was an enormously influential figure in the history of television. As the

creator and star of Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood, he was a champion of compassion, equality,

and kindness, fiercely devoted to children and taking their questions about the world seriously. The

Good Neighbor is the first full-length biography of Fred Rogers.

Based on original interviews, oral histories, and archival documents, The Good Neighbor traces

Rogers’s personal, professional, and artistic life through decades of work. It includes his surprising

decision to walk away from the show in 1976 to make television for adults, only to return to the

neighborhood to help children face complex issues such as divorce, discipline, mistakes, anger, and

competition. The Good Neighbor is the definitive portrait of a beloved figure.

The Downtown Pop Underground takes a kaleidoscopic tour of the

city during the 1960s and early ’70s and focuses on how deeply

interconnected all the alternative worlds were that flourished in one

square mile of downtown. The pages give life to the offbeat artists,

gonzo filmmakers, punk musicians, and rock-and-roll drag queens

who created change, and while some aren’t well known, others like

Patti Smith, Andy Warhol, and

Debbie Harry did become icons.

Ambitious in scope and scale,

loneliness epidemic of our time. Journalist Kate Leaver believes

that friendship is the essential cure for this modern malaise, and that, if

treated as a priority, it could improve our physical health and emotional

well-being. Drawing upon the research of academics, behavioral scientists,

psychotherapists, and the experiences of her friends, Leaver investigates

what friendship is, why we need it, and what we can do to get the most from

it. She answers questions including: How do you “break up” with a toxic

friend? Can men and women really be

platonic? How do you make friends

as an adult? How can friendships

help us live longer, better lives? The

As Viv Groskop knows from personal experience, everything

that has ever happened to a person has already happened

in the Russian classics: from not being sure what to do with your

life (Anna Karenina), to being hopelessly in love with someone

who doesn’t love you back (Turgenev’s A Month in the Country), or

being socially anxious about your appearance (all of Chekhov’s

work). In The Anna Karenina Fix, Groskop mines these and other

works, as well as the lives of their celebrated creators and her own

experiences as a student

of Russian, to answer the

question “How should you

live your life?” or at least

be less miserable. This is a

charming and fiercely intel-

ligent book, a love letter to

Russian literature.

Viv Groskop is a journalist,

author, cultural critic, and

comedian. A graduate of

Cambridge University and

the University College

smallmouthsounds.com In the overwhelming quiet of the woods, six runaways from city life embark on a silent retreat. As

these strangers confront internal demons both profound and absurd, their vows of silence collide

with the achingly human need to connect. Filled with awkward and insightful humor, Bess Wohl’s

beguiling and compassionate new play brilliantly captures the unique eloquence of a silent retreat

and asks how we address life’s biggest questions when words fail us.

A major hit of the 2015–16 Off Broadway season with two sold out extended runs, Small Mouth

Sounds is “wry and observant . . . long on emotions and short on words” (Daily News).

Bess Wohl’s plays include American Hero, Barcelona, and the original musical Pretty Filthy, in

collaboration with The Civilians (Lucille Lortel and Drama Desk nominations for Outstanding Musical).

She is an associate artist with The Civilians, an alumna of Ars Nova, and the recipient of commissions

from Manhattan Theatre Club, Hartford Stage, and Lincoln Center. She is a graduate of Harvard and

Yale School of Drama.

PRAISE FOR Small Mouth Sounds

“A quiet gem of a play . . . the sound of silence on stage has rarely made

such sweet music.” —Charles Isherwood, New York Times

“Walks a razor’s edge between parody and profundity. Part of the play’s impressive

cleverness is that it knows the members of the audience are on their own silent

retreat, Small Mouth Sounds is funny as hell.” —Jeff Seroy, Paris Review

“Flawless. Shattering.” —Variety

“As entertaining as it is transcending.” —Jenna Scherer, Time Out magazine

Elsa’s existence in the house and the only one responsible for her survival.

Susan Hill returns with The Comforts of Home, the ninth book in one of the most acclaimed mys-

tery series of our time. Following his near-fatal injury dealt by his last case, Chief Superintendent

Serrailler is recuperating on a remote Scottish island when the local police pull him into a murder

inquiry: a newcomer has died in perplexing circumstances. Meanwhile, in Lafferton, site of his earlier

mysteries, a second case arises. A woman whose daughter disappeared some years before still seeks

closure. Chief Constable Kieron Bright, Serrailler’s new brother-in-law, calls him in to perform a cold

case review. But when events take an unfavorable turn for the

superintendent and an arsonist goes on a deadly rampage,

Serrailler’s personal and professional lives intertwine in more

complex and devastating ways than ever before.

Susan Hill’s novels and short stories have won the Whitbread

Book, Somerset Maugham, and John Llewellyn Rhys Awards, the

Yorkshire Post Book of the Year, and have been shortlisted for the

Man Booker Prize. The play adapted from her famous ghost novel,

The Woman in Black, has been running in the West End since

1989. She lives in the UK.

The History of the World in Fifty Dogs

● BY MACKENZI LEE

An illustrated collection of stories about dogs that knew how to sit, stay, and witness history

Most dog lovers know Balto and Laika, but how about Jofi, Sigmund Freud’s Chow Chow?

Or Peritas, Alexander the Great’s trusted canine companion? As long as there have been

humans, those humans have had beloved companions—their dogs. From the ancient Egyptians

mummifying their pups, to the Indian legend of the king who refused to enter the afterlife unless his

dog was allowed there too, to the modern meme and popularity of terms like the corgi sploot, humans

are undeniably obsessed with their dogs. Told in short essays that are interspersed with both histori-

cal and canine factoids, The History of the World in Fifty Dogs brings to life some of history’s most

memorable moments through the stories of the dogs that saw them happen.

Mackenzi Lee holds a BA in history and an MFA in writing for children and young adults from Simmons

College. She is the New York Times bestselling author of The Gentleman’s Guide to Vice and Virtue,

which was awarded a 2018 Stonewall Book Award Honor. She is also the author of Bygone Badass

Broads: 52 Women Who Changed to World. Lee currently works at an independent bookstore in Salt

Lake City.

The Women of the 116th Congress● BY THE NE W YORK T IMES

A celebration of the history-making women of the 116th Congress, who stand as a testament to

what power looks and sounds like in 2019

● After the 2018 midterm elections,

an unprecedented 131 women are

now serving in the United States

Congress. This book celebrates

this history-making Congress by

profiling the incredible women

who have changed the face of

politics

● The book is an extension of a

hugely popular feature from the

newspaper that ran in January

2019 and immediately went viral.

Abrams will partner with The

New York Times to promote and

market the title

● The 131 women who make up the

116th Congress are among the

most diverse and inclusive group

of politicians in American history

● The women who are profiled

cross party lines and represent

both Democrats and Republicans.

The book celebrates women in

Congress, from both sides of

the aisle

The first woman Speaker of the House. The first female combat veteran. The first Native American

women. The first Muslim women. The first openly gay member of the Senate. These are just

some of the remarkable firsts represented by the women of the 116th Congress, the most diverse and

inclusive in American history.

Just over a century ago, Jeannette Rankin of Montana won a seat in the House of Representatives,

becoming the first woman ever elected to federal office. In 1917, 128 years after the first United States

Congress convened, she was sworn into its 65th session.

One hundred and two years later, one has become 131—the number of women serving in both

chambers of the 116th Congress as of 2019.

For most of recorded American history, political power has looked a certain way. But the 2018

midterm elections brought a seismic change. This book, a collaboration between New York Times

photo editors Beth Flynn and and Marisa Schwartz Taylor, and photographers Elizabeth D. Herman

and Celeste Sloman, documents the women of the 116th Congress in their totality, photographed in

the style of historical portrait paintings commonly seen in the halls of power to highlight the stark

difference between how we’ve historically viewed governance and how it has evolved.

The Women of the 116th Congress is a testament to what representation in the United States looks

and sounds like in 2019—and the possibilities of what it may look like in the years to come.

In this graphic novel adaptation of Octavia E. Butler’s Parable of the

Sower, by Damian Duffy and John Jennings, the award-winning team

behind the #1 bestseller Kindred: A Graphic Novel Adaptation, the

author portrays a searing vision of America’s future. In the year 2024, the

country is marred by unattended environmental and economic crises

that lead to social chaos. Lauren Olamina, a preacher’s daughter living

in Los Angeles, is protected from danger by the walls of her gated com-

munity. However, in a night of fire and death, what begins as a fight for

survival soon leads to something much more: a startling vision of human

destiny . . . and the birth of a new faith.

Octavia E. Butler (1947–2006) was a renowned African-American author

who was awarded a MacArthur “Genius” Grant and PEN West Lifetime

Achievement Award for her body of work. Since her death, sales of her

books have increased enormously as the issues she addressed in her

Afro-Futuristic, feminist novels and short fiction have only become more

relevant. Damian Duffy, author of Kindred: A Graphic Novel Adaptation,

is a cartoonist, scholar, writer, and teacher. He holds a MS and PhD in

library and information sciences from the University of Illinois at Urbana-

Champaign, where he is on faculty. John Jennings, illustrator of Kindred:

In Commute, we follow author and illustrator Erin

Williams on her daily commute to and from work,

punctuated by recollections of sexual encounters as

well as memories of her battle with alcoholism, addic-

tion, and recovery. As she moves through the world

navigating banal, familiar, and sometimes uncomfortable

interactions with the familiar-faced strangers she sees

daily, Williams weaves together a riveting collection of

flashbacks. Her recollections highlight the indefinable

moments when lines are crossed and a woman must

ask herself if the only way to avoid being objectified is

to simply cease to draw any attention to her physical

being. She delves into the gray space that lives between

consent and assault and tenderly explores the complex-

ity of the shame, guilt, vulnerability, and responsibility

attached to both.

Nearly every woman—of any age, size, shape, and

color—deals with her own inner dialogue of self-

criticism. Body shame, reinforced by socially entrenched

beauty norms and intensified by social media, is incredibly

difficult to shake. In Being In Your Body, author Fariha Róisín

prompts women to explore a new language for talking about

their physical selves. Addressing concepts like compare-

and-despair and the false connection between thinness and

happiness, the journal walks women through the process of

cultivating confidence in themselves, while advocating for

a broader definition of beauty for all. It features sumptuous

illustrations throughout and quotes contributed by a diverse

array of body positive advocates, writers, and influencers,

including: Amanda de Cadnet, Alok Vaid Menon, Safia Elhillo,

Vivek Shraya, and Jenna Wortham.

Fariha Róisín is an Australian-Canadian writer based in

Self-care isn’t just another trend, it’s an important

practice to counterbalance the stresses, distractions,

and demands of everyday life. Based on the book Self-Care

for the Real World by wellness pioneers Nadia Narain and

Katia Narain Phillips, this guided journal offers a weekly

opportunity—with 52 tips and related prompts—to check in

with yourself in small and meaningful ways. It offers exercises

for coping with social media, replacing FOMO (Fear of

Missing Out) with JOMO (Joy of Missing Out), embracing

compromise and imperfection, setting boundaries, and feel-

ing more grateful. You do not need to fill in the prompts in any

particular order, and you can flip to any that speak to you in

the moment. The journal doesn’t preach drastic life changes,

but offers strategies and prompts that can have a cumulative

influence on your life over the course of a year.

Nadia Narain is every celebrity’s favorite yoga teacher, with

a client list that reads like a who’s who. Her sister, Katia

Narain Phillips, has been a health food pioneer since

discovering the raw food scene in Maui nearly 20 years ago.

leotards and other practice clothing, creating knitted

separates, bathing suits, and wrap dresses. Written by

fashion and ballet experts, the book is illustrated with

archival photography by such masters as Richard Avedon,

Edward Steichen, Irving Penn, Man Ray, and Cecil Beaton,

along with newly commissioned photography of contem-

porary ballerinas wearing ballet-influenced couture.

Bland is anathema to Carlos Mota. As he travels

the world—from Lisbon to Tangier, India to Santo

Domingo, New York to Paris—producing feature stories and

ad campaigns for countless publications and companies, he

exults in every spark of originality and creativity he sees.

Fortunately for us, he documents his sightings with his cam-

era. In this volume, he has culled some 400 of his favorite

images, all wholly different but all sharing one quality: the

beauty of color, both literally and figuratively. There are

interiors, table settings, fabric swatches, tiles, floral arrange-

ments, sculptures, architectural ornamentation—whatever

captures his discriminating eye. Peppered with quotes

about color and beauty by a host of designers, Beige Is Not

a Color is the antithesis of bland and as aspirational as it is

inspirational.

The founder of a successful children’s clothing line, author of an influential parenting blog, and

mother of five children, Marie-Chantal of Greece is constantly asked how she manages to

do it all—raise her kids and run her business while leading an active social life. So many of these

queries—about proper etiquette for children in our fast-paced, technology-centered world—led her

to recognize the need for a modern handbook on children’s manners. Manners Start at Breakfast

addresses rules of etiquette, including basic table manners, social media, fashion dos and don’ts, and

party conversation. Covering children from infants to teens, Manners Start at Breakfast is an essential

guide for all parents concerned about raising self-assured, well-adjusted children who are equipped

to thrive in society and develop into confident, successful adults. Illustrated with charming, specially

commissioned watercolors and written in a lively, conversational style, it is certain to become a

perennial and parental must-have resource.

Photographer Miguel Flores-Vianna’s childhood in Argentina

was marked by two constants that he believes shaped

his life: travel and books. Most Argentines are born with a

good dose of wanderlust, and Flores-Vianna has a higher dose

than normal.

Books helped him discover places both literally and figura-

tively, creating romantic visions of lands he wanted to visit, and

he has gone on to document his peripatetic life with his camera,

recording places as he feels they should be rather than as they

are. In this irresistible volume, Flores-Vianna shares some 250 of

his favorite images—taken all over Europe, Africa, Asia, and the

Americas—in the hope that viewers, seeing the world through his

eyes, will learn to love these most wondrous of places as much

as he does.

Miguel Flores-Vianna has been a photographer, writer, and

editor for more than 20 years. His first book, Haute Bohemians,

was selected as the design book of the year by T: The New York

Times Style Magazine. His photography is regularly published in

A white-walled city perched between Morocco and

Europe, Tangier was long a haven for the literary

and artistic avant-garde—and black sheep—of Europe

and America. Now a new generation of residents are

blending color, pattern, and taste to create an interior

aesthetic all their own. Inside Tangier explores a selec-

tion of these exceptional properties and their eccentric

inhabitants—from antiques dealer and collector Gordon

Watson and interior designers Frank de Biasi and Veere

Greeney to the late fashion designer Yves Saint Laurent

and antiques dealer Christopher Gibbs—providing

rare insights into the sometimes bohemian, sometimes

extravagant, but always stylish “Tangerine” lifestyle.

Nicolò Castellini Baldissera is the great-grandson

of renowned Italian architect Piero Portaluppi and an

accomplished architect and interior designer in his own

right. Based in London, he has had a home in Tangier

for over a decade. Photographer Guido Taroni has

collaborated with some of the most important fashion

houses and contributed to leading fashion and interior

design magazines. He lives in Milan.

The car: it has profoundly reshaped the world we live

in. It has altered the production and purchasing of

consumer goods; the shape of our cities, nations, and land-

scapes; and ultimately, our relationship with speed itself.

Cars: Accelerating the Modern World presents the car

as a driving force that accelerated the pace of the 20th

century. From the first moving assembly line at the

Ford Motor Company in 1913 and the introduction of

the annual model by General Motors in the 1920s to the

renewed interest in electric cars after the energy crises

of the 1970s and the recent move toward autonomous

driving, this book takes an in-depth look at the history

of the automobile and its impact on the design world.

As we stand at a turning point in the design of the car

today, this book and the exhibition it accompanies

ask us to look back at its accelerated past to better

understand where we want to go in the future.

prized by collectors from East to West. Now in paperback, this book

netsuke, recording the evolution of materials and techniques and the

patterns of craftsmanship as this small toggle developed into an item

of high fashion. Illustrated with some of the very finest examples, this

Waal that sheds new light on the beauty and value of these miniature

works of art.

Here, ten world-renowned curators from the Victoria and

Albert Museum in London tell the story of ten of the most

famous and curious objects acquired by the museum over its

history. Among these are “Tipu’s Tiger,” an almost life-size wooden

mechanical toy of a tiger mauling a European soldier; the “Great

Bed of Ware,” a 10½-foot-wide Elizabethan bed; and a “Shakespeare

First Folio,” one of the few survivors of an estimated 750 that were

originally printed. Learn too about collection building and how

careful curation and fortuitous optimism drive and change museum

priorities over time.

with an Ermine—these and other

masterpieces are just part of why Leonardo

da Vinci (1452–1519) is considered one of the

greatest artists of all time. A true Renaissance

man, da Vinci was active in fields as diverse

as astronomy, painting, sculpture, science,

mathematics, engineering, cartography, and

architecture. His painting was based on a

deep understanding of the workings of the

human body and the physics of light and

shade. Here, in full and in stunning full-page

close-up details, are the mere two dozen

works that are attributed to the Florentine

master, along with clear, insightful text by

art historian Stefano Zuffi.

Stefano Zuffi has authored more than

60 books, including How to Read Italian

Renaissance Painting and Caravaggio

in Detail.

5 2 6 9 5 Flying geese are a quilt-making staple! At once a simple

block, yet one that yields complex results, this mainstay

is the star of the show in Lee Monroe’s first book, Patchwork

Essentials: Flying Geese. The book features a series of nine

patterns, all based in tradition but with a modern twist.

Patchwork Essentials: Flying Geese is organized into

three main sections: multiple techniques for making flying

geese blocks; nine quilt patterns progressing from quick

and simple to challenging and complex; and 40 flying geese

blocks and a sample quilt in which to feature them. The final

chapter features small projects to make from the half-square

triangles that remain after trimming the geese for each

project—from a pillow to a quilt back.

Lee Chappell Monroe, who comes from a long line of

quilters, has been creating since she discovered crayons

at age two. Trained as a graphic designer, she brings a

clean, fresh look to her projects. She teaches a Craftsy

course and her work has appeared in Modern Patchwork,

Quiltmaker, and other publications. She lives in North

Carolina. Follow her blog maychappell.com.

quilters to use their color cards (included) to explore a variety of

possible combinations. Using the colors selected during each

of Rachel Hauser’s inspirational themes, such as Seasons and

How to Determine Your Style, quilters sew up a Bear Paw block

or two as they progress through the workbook. This collection

of blocks can all be combined to create any of the three quilt

patterns provided. Forget the dry color theory! This book is fun,

conversational, practical, and beautifully inspiring.

● Shops asked, we listened! This

skill-building book is designed

to be taught at quilt classes or

guilds, making a quilt- or block-

of-the-month with a fabulous

finish every time

● Mini Masterpieces is designed so

that quilters of all skill levels can

conquer a new skill and create a

bite-size block, a full mini-quilt,

or even mix-and-match blocks to

create a large sampler quilt

Mini Masterpieces is a quilting master class. Readers

can follow along, beginning with a fresh new take on

basic blocks and increase to complex curves and colorwork,

expanding sewing skills at each step. International quilting

teacher Alyce Blyth provides tips and advice throughout,

learned through years of quilting and teaching students from

all over the world.

Mini-quilts are the perfect solution for sewists who want

to do something new but can’t take on a big project: easy to

finish, fun to make, perfect for gifting, or hanging on a studio

wall. Quilters will have fun knowing they can complete any of

the projects included in just one afternoon.

Alyce Blyth started dabbling in quilting in 2011, but it was her

family’s move to Japan in 2012 that really got her going as she

realized the community and friendships that came with quilt-

ing. She soon discovered that designing and teaching quilting

internationally was her passion and Blossom Heart Quilts

became the place for doing just that. Blyth’s tutorials, pat-

terns, and projects can be found at blossomheartquilts.com.

Hong Kong

● Kogan’s black-and-white

photography evokes the

a dense mega-city

● Appeal to photography

aficionados, architecture buffs,

fans of Hong Kong, and armchair

travelers

Hong Kong provides a stunning backdrop for Abe

Kogan’s skillfully rendered black-and-white

photography. The third in the Split Seconds series,

following Havana and Florence, Hong Kong explores the

city famous for its dense urbanism and high-rise marvels.

The towering obelisks and repetitive facades of the

modern megacity stand in stark contrast to its complex

cultural roots—a city born of compromise between

Chinese tradition and British influence. Kogan’s strikingly

evocative images showcase this intersection of influ-

ence with intimate portraits of bustling street life, iconic

skylines, claustrophobic residential areas, maritime hubs,

rugged coastline, and the parks and public spaces that

provide a respite from the unrelenting vigor of the city.

Abe Kogan is an international entrepreneur, as well as a

writer, photographer, FIA Historic Formula One Class A

champion racing driver, and film producer. His latest film,

Matra Racing—The Rebirth, is now in worldwide circula-

tion. Kogan is on a unique mission to photojournalize a

sequence of countries and cities, each for their particular

attributes within the nature of time and change.

The legacy of European colonialism in the Caribbean is

explored through the work of 10 contemporary artists:

Angel Otero, Adler Guerrier, Phillip Thomas, Leonardo Benzant,

Lucia Hierro, Lavar Munroe, Andrea Chung, Ebony Patterson,

Didier William, and Firelei Báez. Their work is inspired by

products that have historically been produced in and exported

from the Caribbean. The book, published to accompany a

traveling exhibition opening at San Francisco’s Museum of the

African Diaspora, explores the complexity of the “postcolonial-

ism paradox”—in which colonizers often felt superior and

productive as they claimed territory for themselves while

subjugating indigenous people and exploiting their land.

Whether connected to the Caribbean by birth or by choice, the

artists use their work as a means of examining the relationships

within the power structure.

Dexter Wimberly organizes exhibitions that explore contempo-

rary culture, American history, economics, and power dynamics.

Larry Ossei-Mensah is a Ghanaian-American independent

curator and cultural critic who has organized numerous exhibi-

tions. Both live in New York City.

Football fans will always remember “The Catch” as

the moment a dynasty was born. When Dwight Clark

received the touchdown pass that sent the 49ers to their

first Super Bowl in 1982, an indelible moment was etched

into the history of the NFL. Later, as Clark battled ALS, he

and sportswriter Matt Maiocco put out a call to friends and

fans, asking them to share their memories of this moment.

The letters that Clark and Maiocco received tell the story

of how the man who wore number 87 brought together a

city and a franchise.

Matt Maiocco, beat reporter for NBC Sports Bay Area,

has covered the San Francisco 49ers for over a decade.

Michael Zagaris, legendary sports, music, and fashion

photojournalist, has served as team photographer for

the San Francisco 49ers since 1973. Brad Mangin is a

photographer who, since 1987, has captured the biggest

stars in professional sports. All three reside in the San

Emerging in the late 1960s as women artists struggled to “de-gender” their work to

compete in a male-dominated arena, the feminist art movement has played a leading

role in the art world over the last five decades. Using the “female gaze” to articulate socially

relevant issues after an era of aesthetic “formalism,” feminist artists, working in a variety

of media, have brought attention to ideas surrounding gender, identity, and form. They

have critiqued and altered our thinking about the cultural expectations and stereotyping of

women, women’s struggle for equality, and the treatment of the female body as a commodity.

Fifty outstanding works reflect women’s lives and experience, the changing position of

women artists, and the impact of feminist ideals and politics on visual culture. This book is

a celebration of one of the most ambitious, influential, and enduring artistic movements to

emerge from the 20th century.

This vibrant book explores extraordinary artist Keith

Haring’s work in the context of key issues of his life-

time—the AIDS crisis, the Cold War, racism, the excesses

of capitalism, and environmental degradation. Haring

(1958–1990) is widely recognized for his colorful paint-

ings, drawings, sculptures, and murals. Haring exploded

onto the early 1980s New York art scene with his vivid

graffiti-inspired drawings, many of which found exposure

in public, such as the Times Square billboard “broadcast”

of his famous Radiant Child in 1982. Featuring some

70 works supplemented by rarely seen photography

and film stills, this accessible book not only introduces

Haring to a new audience, but it also throws fresh light

on an artist whose work remains emblematic of the

subcultural and creative energy of 1980s New York.

Liverpool.

American artist Dorothea Tanning (1910–2012) redrew

the boundaries of surrealism. She first encountered the

movement in New York in the 1930s, and in the 1940s, she married

fellow painter Max Ernst and moved to the Arizona desert. Although

surrounded by a vast landscape, her paintings from this time depict

claustrophobic domestic spaces.

From Paris in the 1950s, Tanning’s paintings became more

abstract. In the 1960s, she created uncanny soft sculptures featur-

ing contorted and intertwined bodies, connecting her lifelong inter-

est in music and dance. In Dorothea Tanning, Alyce Mahon provides

a comprehensive overview of Tanning’s multilayered career. Idoia

Murga Castro considers Tanning’s love of ballet, and Ann Coxon

explores Tanning’s influence today.

Alyce Mahon teaches modern and contemporary art history at

the University of Cambridge. Idoia Murga Castro is a tenured

researcher at the Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas

in Madrid. Ann Coxon is curator of displays and international art at

Natalia Goncharova (1881–1962), a key figure of the modernist art movement, gained

international fame for her trailblazing experiments in painting and design. Early in her career,

she established herself as a leader of the Russian avant-garde with a major show in Moscow in 1913.

In France, Goncharova’s talents were noticed by Sergei Diaghilev; soon, she was designing costumes

and backdrops for Ballets Russes performances in major cities throughout Europe.

Goncharova’s artistic output traces, influences, and transcends the art movements of the

20th century. She paraded through the streets of Moscow displaying futurist body art, yet worked

on religious murals; she participated in avant-garde cinema and created stage designs; she even

illustrated socialist newspapers. This book, along with the exhibition it accompanies, explores

her diverse sources and influences, from Russian folk art and textile designs to the latest trends

in modernism and beyond. Insightful essays and lavish illustrations bring Goncharova’s work to a

new audience.

Created in close association with the artist and published

to accompany a 2019 exhibition at Tate Modern this book

examines the career of Hungarian artist Dóra Maurer (b. 1937), span-

ning over four decades of her experimental practice from the 1960s

to the present. It surveys her early graphic works, photographs, and

films. This book also explores the evolution of her “displacement”

canvases and most recent large-scale paintings that examine how

geometric forms are affected by color and color perception. This

richly illustrated publication reveals Maurer’s persistent experimenta-

tion with production processes and her innovative take on traditional

techniques.

Born in Guyana in 1936, Frank Bowling arrived in Britain in his

late teens and studied painting at the Royal College of Art

alongside David Hockney. Since he started painting in the late 1950s,

Bowling has pursued a relentless exploration of the properties and

possibilities of paint, experimenting with stitching, staining, pouring,

and dripping. Ambitious in scale, Bowling’s work is described in

terms of its colorful and luminous quality, and the energetic applica-

tion or accrual of paint. Figuration, abstract elements, and popular

and autobiographical references can also be found in his paintings.

Bowling also demonstrates an interest in social and political imagery.

Accompanying the first large-scale exhibition to address Bowling’s

entire oeuvre, this publication explores an extraordinary interna-

tional career spanning 60 years.

Now in paperback, this is a new cultural history of the

ghost—one of the most popular and pervasive subjects

worldwide. Spanning from the medieval period to today, the book

includes a wide range of artists and writers, including Hogarth, Blake,

Rossetti, Shakespeare, Pepys, Shelley, and Dickens. Contemporary

figures such as Muriel Spark, Hilary Mantel, and Jeremy Deller are

also featured. The enduring popularity of ghosts in literature, art,

folklore, and film attests to their continuing power to fascinate, terrify,

and inspire. Our conceptions of ghosts—the fears they provoke, the

forms they take—are connected to the conventions and beliefs of

each particular era, from the marauding undead of the Middle Ages

to the psychologically charged presences of our own age.

Susan Owens is an art historian and curator. Former curator of

One of the most playful, innovative, and eccentric artists of

postwar Europe, Takis (b. 1925) was a catalyzing figure in

the artistic and literary circles of Paris, London, and New York from

the 1950s onward.

Pioneering a variety of sculpture, painting, and musical structures,

Takis’s works harness invisible natural forces. Most notable are his

innovative “telemagnetic” works, begun in the late 1950s, which

float everyday metallic objects in space through the use of magnets.

These investigations and his fierce individualism won him the admira-

tion of Beat writers such as Allen Ginsberg and William Burroughs

and inspired arguments with his artistic contemporaries Yves Klein,

Alberto Giacometti, and Jean Tinguely.

This is the first book in English to introduce this key figure of

Europe’s postwar avant-garde and cultural underground. Through

new essays and primary sources, it foregrounds the artist’s influence

in contemporary art since the 1960s.

Conceived as an illustrated a “field guide” to the

work of Danish artist Olafur Eliasson (b. 1967),

this stunningly produced book features a substantial

conversation between the artist and Tate curator Mark

Godfrey, as well as a collection of short dialogues with

a strikingly varied range of people working both inside

and outside the arts—from anthropology, economics,

political science, and biology to architecture and urban-

ism, dance, music, and food.

Eliasson builds such conversations into his daily life

and work. They help him not only to understand other

people’s unique fields of knowledge, but also to ask,

“What does my understanding of your knowledge do to

my understanding of the world?” The interweaving of

these texts with stunning photography of his remarkable

and immersive works provides an insight into what

Eliasson calls his ongoing aim of “reaching out into

the world.”

Rembrandt van Rijn (1606–1669) is a towering

figure in European art history: a virtuoso

painter, draftsman, and etcher whose enduring influ-

ence can be seen in the work of artists from J. M. W.

Turner to Francis Bacon and beyond. A prolific self-

portraitist, Rembrandt is a deeply familiar figure—and

yet little is known of his life and character.

In this first graphic biography of the Dutch master,

Typex pieces together the facts that are known about

Rembrandt’s life to weave a captivating story about a

miller’s son who, after a brief spell of fame, suffered

the fate of so many artists: financial ruin. It is a story

about life and death, love and bereavement, success

and loss.

Commissioned by Amsterdam’s Rijksmuseum,

home of the world’s largest and most important

Rembrandt collection, this landmark graphic

biography brings to life a complex and contradictory

character—a vain man who celebrated human

imperfection, and an arrogant genius who painted

with extraordinary empathy.

Typex is a Dutch comics artist. His graphic novels

include Andy: The Life and Times of Andy Warhol. He

lives in Amsterdam.

“For a second we gasped in admiration . . . and then

vague horror began to creep into our souls.”

September 1930. A scientific expedition embarks for

the frozen wasteland of Antarctica. But the secrets

they unearth there reveal a past almost beyond human

comprehension— and a future too terrible to imagine.

By taking scientific fact so seriously, At the Mountains of

Madness (1936), H.P. Lovecraft’s classic take on the “heroic

age” of polar exploration, helped to define a new era in

20th-century science-fiction.

H.P. Lovecraft was one of the most influential horror writers

of the 20th century. I.N.J. Culbard is an award-winning

artist widely known for his graphic novel adaptations of the

classics. He collaborated on a critically acclaimed Sherlock

Holmes series with Ian Edginton and worked on The New

In 1899, performing in the drawing rooms of London’s

elite, Isadora Duncan (1877–1927) was already laying

the foundations for modern dance. Her performances

were visceral, free-flowing, and expressive; she danced

barefoot. The 22-year-old from California was shattering

the conventions of traditional ballet and, in doing so,

enchanting high society.

In Isadora, Julie Birmant and Clément Oubrerie

capture the astonishing life and scandalous times of the

so-called “Mother of Modern Dance” from her arrival in

Europe to her tragic death in 1927. This extraordinary

graphic novel spans Duncan’s meetings with Auguste

Rodin and Loie Fuller, her dazzling on-stage career, and

the development of a style of dance—inspired by natural

forms and Greek sculpture—that would become her

enduring legacy.

Julie Birmant is a writer and filmmaker. She lives in

Paris. Clément Oubrerie is a French comic book artist.

His books include the Eisner-nominated graphic novel

Aya: Life in Yop City (with Marguerite Abouet) and the

biography Pablo (with Julie Birmant).

“There was never a place

for [Isadora Duncan] in the

ranks of the terrible, slow

army of the cautious. She ran

ahead, where there were no

paths.” —Dorothy Parker

● Mozart’s six-month stay in Paris

frustration, but it was crucial to

the development of his career

● Follows in the footsteps of

graphic biographies, including

Pablo and Vincent

In 1778, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756–1791) leaves Salzburg

for Paris. The French capital promises to liberate the 22-year-

old from the suffocating grip of his father and from a city that

is unable to accommodate his genius. But there is no grand

entrance for the former child prodigy. When Mozart arrives in

Paris, he is cash-strapped, unknown, and his French is limited.

His mentor, the critic Baron von Grimm, introduces him to a

number of Parisian nobles. With these contacts, recognition is

still hard-won; the French court appears indifferent to Mozart’s

talents and disapproving of his spontaneity at times.

Tracing the composer’s six-month stay in the city of lights,

Mozart in Paris dramatizes the confrontation between a bright-

eyed genius and everyday reality. Frantz Duchazeau spotlights

a frustrating yet formative period of the composer’s life—and in

doing so creates a living, breathing portrait of one of history’s

most gifted musicians.

Frantz Duchazeau is a French comics artist.

Typography confronts us everywhere: in books and

newspapers, on road signs, in product packaging, and

on political leaflets. It is ubiquitous to the point of mundanity.

But while the typeface might be secondary to the message, it

remains crucial to the way we respond. Fonts spark emotions;

they evoke eras and ideologies. Some, like Edward Johnson’s

for the London Underground, have become iconic. Others, like

Comic Sans, are loathed. Each one has its own place in history.

The ABC of Typography traces 3,500 years of type

from Sumerian pictographs through Roman calligraphy to

Gutenberg, the Bauhaus, and beyond. Brimming with insight

and anecdote, this witty and well-informed graphic guide

explores the historical, technological, and cultural shifts that

have defined the look of the words we read.

The Devil arrives in Moscow, accompanied by a bizarre

band of acolytes: a witch, an assassin, and a talking cat.

Together, they systematically wreak havoc in the Russian

capital. Caught up in the chaos are two lovers: the Master, a

writer broken by criticisms of his novel about Pontius Pilate,

and Margarita, for whom the Devil has his own plans.

At once a love story, a meditation on the nature of good

and evil, and a brilliant satire of mid-20th-century Soviet life,

The Master and Margarita was initially banned by the very

bureaucracy it criticized. In this captivating, beautifully drawn

graphic novel, Andrzej Klimowski and Danusia Schejbal bring

to vibrant life the masterpiece that has since become the defin-

ing work of 20th-century Russian literature.

Andrzej Klimowski is emeritus professor of illustration at

Mikel lives with his wife and two children in Costur, an

idyllic Spanish town surrounded by hills. He has a

job selling candy, but Mikel is a dreamer, not a businessman,

and money is tight. What’s more, the ordinariness of small-

town life is preventing him from fulfilling a life-long dream: to

become a writer.

Seeking both drama and financial security, Mikel takes

a job as a bodyguard. His family is soon uprooted to the

Basque Country, where Mikel is charged with protecting

politicians from the armed separatist group ETA. It is a job

that provides drama worthy of the page—but only at the cost

of fear, uncertainty, and family breakdown.

In Mikel, author Mark Bellido draws on his own experi-

ences to create a powerful and provocative story about a

man who risks everything in the pursuit of a dream.

Mark Bellido is a Belgian novelist and graphic novel writer.

He spent four years protecting Basque politicians from ETA.

This board book, featuring Nikki McClure’s signature papercuts, follows the journey of a bright red

apple—the only splash of color in the otherwise black-and-white illustrations—as it travels from

tree to harvest to snack to compost and, finally, to sprout. In the opening spread, a ripe, red apple falls

from a tree, and a man gathers it to take home. His daughter takes the apple to school for lunch, but

mistakenly drops it after taking a bite. Left on the ground, we see the apple buried as the seasons

change and children come and go on the playground above. On the final spread, the buried apple has

produced an apple tree sprout. A single word complements each illustration, urging early readers to

reflect on each stage in the apple’s life.

Nikki McClure is a self-taught cut-paper artist who illustrates gift products as well as

many books for children. She is the author and illustrator of Collect Raindrops, How to

Be a Cat, Mama, Is It Summer Yet?, and To Market, To Market, among many others. She

lives in Olympia, Washington.

● Renowned illustrator: Previous

honors include starred reviews,

an E. B. White Honor, and two

ALA Notable Books

● Mind and body connection:

Explores how physical movement

affects our moods

● Laugh-out-loud humor: Narration

takes clever twists reminiscent of

Shel Silverstein

● Inspires dance: Readers will

be encouraged to get moving

regardless of skill

There’s no wrong way to dance! You can bop or bounce or go completely nuts! You can dance

because you’re happy or because you’re sad. You can dance on warm days or rainy days, at

the supermarket, or on a break. You can dance because you scored a goal or because you’re eating

something really, really yummy.

In this playful picture book, author-illustrator Thyra Heder explores the who, what, where,

when, why, and how of dance in a celebration that will inspire young readers and get them moving!

With Thyra’s trademark wit, a hilarious narrator feeds the audience different dance ideas, and one

particularly dance-resistant boy keeps shooting the suggestions down . . . until a surprise reveal shows

that even the grumpiest among us can’t resist the power of dance.

Thyra Heder is the author of Fraidyzoo, The Bear Report, and Alfie. She is also an

illustrator and storyboard artist for film and advertising. She lives in Brooklyn.

With a gorgeous new package and a foreword from bestselling author John Green, the deluxe

what does it really mean? And how do you follow it? A grandfather explains to his grandson that the

Golden Rule means you “treat people the way you would like to be treated. It’s golden because it’s

so valuable, and a way of living your life that’s so simple, it shines.” The book reveals versions of the

Golden Rule found in many cultures and religions, including Christianity, Judaism, Buddhism, and

Islam. Following the Golden Rule is something everyone can do, which means that every person—old

or young, rich or poor—can help make the world a better place.

Perry knows all of Mama’s shoes. She knows that the zip-zup shoes are for skipping and swinging

in the park. She knows that the pat-put shoes are for splishing and splashing in the rain. And

she knows that no-shoes are for bath time and bedtime. But, one morning Mama puts on click-clack

shoes, and Perry wonders what these new shoes are for. When Mama drops Perry at Nan’s house,

and the click-clack shoes take Mama away for the whole day, Perry decides she hates these shoes!

Perry later hides the click-clack shoes . . . and all of Mama’s shoes, just in case. Mama then explains

that the click-clack shoes bring her to work in the morning, and they will also bring her home to Perry

every single evening—clickety-clack fast!

● Follow up to a success: “With

witty illustrations of zombies

that all somehow look like

children in zombie Halloween

costumes, this book amusingly

unites the seemingly unrelated

contemporary obsessions of

zombies and food,” said the New

● Holiday promotions: The North

Pole setting and appearance of

Butter & Santa Claus perfect for

Reginald (the zombie), Zarfon (the alien), and Abigail Zink (the human) are all preparing for

Christmas in Quirkville when the terrible news breaks: CHRISTMAS IS CANCELED! Santa is

snowed in at the North Pole. The three friends hatch a plan to save the day. They load into Zarfon’s

spaceship—along with lots of peanut butter for a surprise Christmas delivery to his home planet later

on—and head straight for the North Pole. When they arrive, they find that Santa and his elves are

trapped, not by snow, but by a marshmallow cream explosion. With a little bit of creativity, a little bit

of Christmas spirit, and one big KA-POW!, the pals from Quirkville save Christmas and inadvertently

create a delicious treat!

Mister Rogers is one of the most beloved television personalities, but before he was the man

who brought us Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood, he was just little Freddie Rogers. Though he

was often sick and had trouble making friends as a child, his mom and grandfather encouraged him

to ask for help and explore the world. With their support, he learned how to better say what he was

feeling and see the beauty around him. As he grew up, he realized he could spread the message of

compassion, equality, and kindness through television. You Are My Friend is a gentle homage to Fred

Rogers and shows how his simple message still resonates with us today: “There’s no person in the

world like you and I like you just the way you are.” The book includes a short biography of Fred’s life

and a bibliography.

Aimee Reid has written picture books, but You Are My Friend is her first

nonfiction venture. She lives in Toronto, Canada, with her family.

Matt Phelan is an award-winning author and illustrator. He received the

Scott O’Dell Award for Historical Fiction and has been nominated for five

Eisner Awards. He lives in Ardmore, Pennsylvania.

José de la Luz Sáenz (1888–1953)—or Luz—believed in fighting for what was right. Although he

was born in the United States, he and his family experienced prejudice because of their Mexican

heritage. When World War I broke out, Luz volunteered to join the fight. Because of his ability to

quickly learn languages, he became part of the Intelligence Office in Europe. However, despite

his hard work and intellect, Luz often didn’t receive credit for his contributions. Upon his return to

the US, he joined other Mexican-Americans whom he had met in the army to fight for equality. His

contribution, along with others, ultimately led to the creation of the League of United Latin American

Citizens (LULAC), which is the oldest Latino civil rights organization. Soldier for Equality is based

in part on Luz’s diary during the war. It includes a biography of Luz’s later years, an author’s note, a

timeline, a bibliography, and an index.

Duncan Tonatiuh was born in Mexico City and grew up in San Miguel de Allende. His

books have received many awards over the years. He currently lives in San Miguel with

his wife and children but travels to the US often.

ISBN 978-1-68335-623-3A Ride to Remember tells how a community came together—both black and white—to make

a change. When Sharon Langley was born in the early 1960s, many amusement parks were

segregated, and African-American families were not allowed entry. This book reveals how in the

summer of 1963, due to demonstrations and public protests, the Gwynn Oak Amusement Park in

Maryland became desegregated and opened to all for the first time. Author Sharon Langley was

the first African-American child to ride the carousel. This was on the same day of Martin Luther King

Jr.’s March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom. Langley’s ride to remember demonstrated the

possibilities of King’s dream. This book includes photos of Sharon on the carousel, authors’ notes, a

timeline, and a bibliography.

Sharon Langley became known around the country in 1963

as the first African-American to ride the carousel at Gwynn

Oak Amusement Park. She lives in Los Angeles. Amy Nathan

August Wilson (1945–2005) was a two-time Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright who had a

particular talent for capturing the authentic, everyday voice of black Americans. As a child, he

read off the soup cans and cereal boxes in the pantry, and when his mother brought him to the library,

his whole world opened up. After facing intense prejudice at school from both students and some

teachers, August dropped out. However, he continued reading and educating himself independently.

He felt that if he could read about it, then he could teach himself anything and accomplish anything.

Like many of his plays, Feed Your Mind is told in two acts, revealing how Wilson grew up to be one of

the most influential American playwrights. The book includes an author’s note, a timeline of August

Wilson’s life, a list of Wilson’s plays, and a bibliography.

From before its earliest settlement to the vibrant metropolis that exists today, the island of Manhattan

has always been a place of struggle, growth, and radical transformation. Humans, history, and

natural events have shaped this tiny sliver of land for more than 400 years. In Manhattan, travel back in

time to discover how a small rodent began an era of rapid change for the island. Learn about immigration,

the slave trade, and the people who built New York City. See how a street plan projected the city’s future,

and how epic fires and storms led to major feats of engineering above and below ground. Through

dramatic illustrations, informative sidebars, and detailed maps inspired by historic archives, Manhattan

explores the rich history that still draws people from all around the world to the island’s shores today.

From The Battery downtown up to Inwood, every inch of the island has a story to tell.

The third installment of the Making of America series, Abraham Lincoln follows one of our most

popular presidents. Even though he grew up on the frontier without a formal education, Abraham

Lincoln (1809–1865) worked his way up in the government. He was elected to the Illinois House of

Representatives, then to the US House of Representatives, and then he became the 16th president

of the United States. During his presidency, he led the United States through the Civil War, brought

about the emancipation of the enslaved, and strengthened the federal government. Unlike other bio-

graphical works, the Making of America series goes beyond individual narratives and links influential

figures to create an overarching story of America’s growth. The books can be read on their own and

are also a way to entice young readers to study American history. The book includes selections from

Lincoln’s writings, endnotes, a bibliography, and an index.

The fifth book in the Making of America series, Franklin D. Roosevelt examines the life of

America’s 32nd president: his birth into one of America’s elite families, his domineering mother,

his marriage to Eleanor Roosevelt, his struggle with polio, and his political career. A Democrat,

Roosevelt (1882–1945) won a record four presidential elections and is the longest-serving US

president. During his time in office, he led the country through the Great Depression and World War II.

He helped to redefine the role of the US government with the New Deal. Scholars often rate him as

one of the three greatest US presidents along with George Washington and Abraham Lincoln. The

book includes selections from FDR’s writings, endnotes, a bibliography, and an index.

Eleanor Roosevelt, Fighter for Justice shows young readers a different side of the former first lady.

Eleanor Roosevelt (1884–1962) was a politician, activist, diplomat, and the longest-serving first

lady of the United States. But she was more than that. She was a protector and advocate for those with-

out a voice, speaking out on the labor movement and civil rights. Though now seen as a cultural icon,

she was a woman who was deeply insecure about her looks and her role in the world. She recognized

her own prejudices and constantly strove to overcome them. Eleanor Roosevelt set the standard for the

role of the first lady, and this biography gives young readers a fresh perspective on her extraordinary

life. It includes an excerpt of one of her speeches, endnotes, a bibliography, and an index.

Ilene Cooper has written many acclaimed children’s books, including Jewish Holidays

All Year Round, The Golden Rule, and A Woman in the House (and Senate). She lives in

Highland Park, Illinois.

● Perennially popular: Kids of all

Harry Houdini—whether it be for

a book report or to try his magic

tricks themselves

Before Harry Houdini (1874–1926) became the greatest magician in the world, he was just little

Ehrich Weisz, a Hungarian-born immigrant who moved to America with his family and performed

stage tricks for a little extra cash. He started off with card tricks and then eventually began performing

the escape acts that would make him famous. Known for his daring and death-defying illusions, he would

do some of the greatest tricks ever: escaping from a milk can, being buried alive, and being locked inside

a crate and thrown into a river. He conquered each of these seemingly impossible feats and showed the

world the power of a little magic. Fun, fast-paced, and highly illustrated, Harry Houdini tells the story of

the curious boy who became the world’s greatest magician and reveals how Houdini did some of his most

stunning escapes. It includes a timeline, glossary, and index.

ISBN 978-1-68335-574-8Before Amelia Earhart (1897–1939) became a world-famous pilot, she was a little tomboy from

Kansas with a taste for adventure. When she visited an airfield and took a short plane ride, she

knew she had to be a pilot. She signed up for flying lessons and cropped her hair short so that the

other pilots would take her seriously. She became the first woman to make a solo flight across the

Atlantic Ocean. With each flight she took and each record she broke, Amelia became more and more

of a celebrity. Her final flight was intended to be a trip around the whole world, but her plane disap-

peared after takeoff—and her disappearance is still a mystery today. Inspirational, highly illustrated,

and full of adventure, Amelia Earhart tells the story of the feminist icon who changed the world of

aviation. It includes a timeline, glossary, and index.

Andrew Prentice is the author of a number of children’s books. He lives in

she’s going to have puppies, they’re all thrilled! But, Missis doesn’t just have one puppy . . . or

two . . . or three . . . she has fifteen! When the puppies go missing, Pongo and Missis know that there’s

Dodo, Didi’s reluctant sidekick. In Robo-Dodo Rumble, Koko Dodo’s cookie shop is facing some

stiff competition from an evil robotic dodo (a Robo Dodo). The Robo Dodo is selling its cookies for

only a penny! Why? To put Koko’s shop out of business! And if that weren’t bad enough, a giant sea

monster starts destroying the town! But don’t worry. Didi Dodo has a daring plan.

After the dinosaurs died out, Earth was by no means empty. There were

still some little resourceful critters around who, without big predators

to hunt them down, survived and thrived. Who were these scrappy creatures?

Early mammals, our ancestors! In the Cenozoic Era, mammals rose to

dominance and spread over the globe, resulting in woolly mammoths, saber-

toothed tigers, and eventually all of humankind. In this adventure, Ronnie will

meet the three kinds of mammals—monotremes, marsupials, and placental

mammals—as well as the other amazing ancient beasts they shared the Earth

with during the Cenozoic Era. The text will track Earth’s history from 66 million

years ago to present day, ending with an impassioned yet hopeful discussion

of climate change.

Abby Howard is the creator of the comic website Junior Scientist

Power Hour. Before becoming a full-time artist, Howard studied

evolutionary biology at McGill University. She lives in Boston.

she’s an overworked, underpaid ref at Smackdown Town, the local arena. Ollie’s goal

in life is to win the golden championship belt for his mom—immediately followed by

his other goal: to hang his bully of a brother from the roof by his tightie-whities. But

there’s one problem: Ollie inherited their estranged dad’s puny frame, while Hollis got

their mom’s brawn. Thus Ollie has resigned himself to a fate of wrestling mediocrity

and wet willies . . . until the day Hollis gifts him a piece of stale gum and forces him to

chew it. Ollie soon discovers that the gum—bought on eBay and formerly chewed by

a wrestling legend—has an unusual side effect: the ability to physically transform Ollie

into a pro wrestler. As Big Chew, Ollie’s finally able to put Hollis in his place and be a

star. But when trouble befalls his family, being Big Chew gets a lot more complicated.

In the end, Ollie knows he can’t have it all; and it’s only when he asks himself who he

really is that he learns what it means to be a champion.

John Wesley Powell (1834–1902) always had the spirit of adventure in him. As a young

man, he traveled all over the United States exploring. When the Civil War began, Powell

went to fight for the Union, and even after he lost most of his right arm, he continued to fight

until the war was over. He then embarked on the 1869 Powell Geographic Expedition, which

became the first official US government-sponsored passage through the Grand Canyon. Over

the course of three months, the explorers lost their boats and supplies, nearly drowned, and

were in peril on multiple occasions. However, they made it through, and Powell would come

to be known as one of the most epic explorers in history! Equal parts gruesome and hilarious,

this latest installment in the bestselling series takes readers on an action-packed adventure

through American history.

“Remember the Alamo!” That rallying cry has been a part of Texas lore for generations. But who

was the ragtag group of adventurers behind the famous slogan, and how did they end up barricaded

in a fort against a Mexican army? This book tracks the Lone Star State’s bloody fight for independence

from the Mexican government. It features the exploits of the notorious Jim Bowie, Stephen Austin,

Davy Crockett, and other settlers and soldiers who made the wild frontier of Texas their home.

Gruesome and hilarious, this book will get the most reluctant readers interested in American history—

and prove that everything is bigger in Texas!

the story takes place and

interviewed survivors in Los

Angeles and Queens, New York

● Great for reluctant readers:

A fast-paced story with wild

chases, narrow escapes, and

life-threatening adventures

Based on the true story of the French villagers in WWII who saved thousands of Jews, this

novel tells how a group of young teenagers stood up for what is right. Among them is a young

Jewish boy who learns to forge documents to save his mother and later goes on to save hundreds

of lives with his forgery skills. There is also a girl who overcomes her fear to carry messages for the

Resistance. And a boy who smuggles people into Switzerland. But there is always the threat that they

will be caught: A policeman is sent to keep an eye on them, German soldiers reside in a local hotel,

and eventually the Gestapo arrives, armed with guns and a list of names. As the knot tightens, the

young people must race against time to bring their friends to safety.

Margi Preus is the author of West of the Moon, Shadow on the Mountain, and Heart of a

Samurai, which was a Newbery Honor book. She also writes for a variety of theater com-

In the future, robots have eliminated humans, and 12-year-old robot XR_935 is just fine with that.

Without humans around, there is no war, no pollution, no crime. Every member of society has a

purpose. Everything runs smoothly and efficiently. Until the day XR discovers something impossible:

a human girl named Emma. Now, Emma must embark on a dangerous voyage with XR and two other

robots in search of a mysterious point on a map. But how will they survive in a place where rules are

never broken and humans aren’t supposed to exist? And what will they find at the end of their journey?

Humorous, action-packed, and poignant, The Last Human tells a story about friendship, technology,

and challenging the status quo no matter the consequences. It’s not just about what it means to be a

robot—it’s about what it means to be a friend.

In 17th century Hungary, Anna Darvulia has just begun working as a scullery maid for the young and

glamorous Countess Elizabeth Báthory. When Elizabeth takes a liking to Anna, she’s vaulted to the

dream role of chambermaid, a far cry from the filthy servants’ quarters below. She receives wages

generous enough to provide for her family, and the Countess begins to groom Anna as her friend and

confidante. It’s not long before Anna falls completely under the Countess’s spell—and the Countess

takes full advantage. Isolated from her former friends, family, and fiancé, Anna realizes she’s not a

friend but a prisoner of the increasingly cruel Elizabeth. Then come the murders, and Anna knows it’s

only a matter of time before the Blood Countess turns on her, too.

Lana Popovic is the author of Wicked Like a Wildfire and Fierce Like a Firestorm. Born in

Serbia, she lived in Hungary, Bulgaria, and Romania before moving to the US, where she

studied psychology and literature at Yale University, law at Boston University, and

who he’s convinced is out to get him, and three men who give him ominous warnings in the

their grandmother’s ranch, which they’ve only heard about in stories. But is there a reason why their

mother never brought them there? And what horrid truths lurk behind Lee’s haunting visions? Thrilling,

and her friends embark on a Heavenly quest to an in-between world. But when faced with true danger,

the group realizes that what will save the universe this time is sacrifice, not strength.

When private school student Isabelle Warren first meets Dominican-American Alex Rosario

on the 1 train, she remembers his green eyes and gentlemanly behavior. He remembers

her long ballet dancer’s legs and untroubled happiness, something he feels belongs to all rich kids.

As the two grow closer in and out of the subway, Isabelle learns of Alex’s father, who is hell-bent on

Alex being a contender for the major leagues despite Alex’s desire to go to college and become a

poet. Alex learns about Isabelle’s Havana-born mother, Eliza, a woman with a prejudice against Latino

men, who pressures her daughter to stay away from him. When Isabelle’s father loses his job and her

older brother struggles with his mental health, her relationship with Alex falters. But fate—and the 1

train—throw them together when Isabelle needs him the most.

the start of their senior year in high school, James (a girl with a boy’s name) and Kat are inseparable,

but by graduation, they’re no longer friends. James prepares to head off to college as she reflects on

the dissolution of her friendship with Kat while, in alternating chapters, Kat thinks about being newly

in love with her first girlfriend and having a future that feels wide open. Over the course of senior

year, Kat wants nothing more than James to continue to be her steady rock, as James worries that

everything she believes about love and her future is a lie when her high-school sweetheart parents

announce they’re getting a divorce. Funny, honest, and full of heart, We Used to Be Friends tells of the

pains of growing up and growing apart.

Amy Spalding is the author of several novels for teens, including Kissing Ted Callahan

(and Other Guys) and The Summer of Jordi Perez (and the Best Burger in Los Angeles),

In this series opener, Koko Dodo, the cookie chef, has a big problem.

Today is the day of the royal cookie contest, and someone has stolen

his top-secret fudge sauce! Luckily, a spy enters the scene just in time

(or rather, crashes in on her roller skates): Didi Dodo! This might be Didi’s

first case ever, but she has a daring plan to help Koko. Koko would prefer

a safe, simple, sure-to-work plan, but without another option, he and the

amateur sleuth take off on a wacky caper full of high-speed chases and big belly laughs

that could only come from the mind of the inimitable Tom Angleberger. Each book in the

series will focus on a food-related mystery.

Tom Angleberger is the New York Times bestselling author of

He lives with his family in Virginia. Jared Chapman is the

Ronnie is just a normal fifth-grader trying to pass her science class’s impossible quiz on the

history of dinosaurs . . . until she runs into her neighbor—Ms. Lernin—a retired paleontologist.

Ronnie and Ms. Lernin travel back through time to experience the age of the dinosaurs firsthand.

They visit three important time periods of the Mesozoic Era: the Triassic, the Jurassic, and the

Cretaceous. Along the way, Ronnie finds herself face-to-face with real-life dinosaurs and reptiles, like

Stegosauruses, Velociraptors, and Thalattosaurs. She learns the differences between herbivores,

carnivores, and omnivores, as well as between dinosaurs, insects, and reptiles. This hilarious and

fact-filled graphic novel brings the age of the dinosaurs to life and shows the important effects this

era had on our world today.

Abby Howard is the creator of the comic website Junior Scientist Power Hour. Before

becoming a full-time artist, Howard studied evolutionary biology at McGill University.

She lives in Boston.

Two have one goal: an epic prank. Something that will leave a lasting legacy at their school. Which

But their smooth sailing gets downright bumpy when they find out that the new superintendent

Principal Barkin is Acting Superintendent Barkin, he has a first order of business: his long-promised

revenge on the Terrible Two.

chimneys. The work is brutal and dangerous. Thanks to her wits and will, Nan has managed

to beat the deadly odds time and time again. But when she gets stuck in a chimney fire, it seems the

end has come. Instead, she awakens to find herself unharmed in an abandoned attic. And she is not

alone. Huddled in the corner is a mysterious creature—a golem—made from soot and ash. Together,

Iron Cast, Soria’s debut novel,

In the city of Eldra, people are ruled by ancient prophecies. For centuries, the high council

has stayed in power by virtue of the prophecies of the elder seers. After the last infallible

prophecy came to pass, growing unrest led to murders and an eventual rebellion that raged

for more than a decade.

In the present day, Cassa, the orphaned daughter of rebels, is determined to fight back

against the high council, which governs Eldra from behind the walls of the citadel. Her only

allies are no-nonsense Alys, easygoing Evander, and perpetually underestimated Newt, and

Cassa struggles to come to terms with the legacy of rebellion her dead parents have left

her—and the fear that she may be inadequate to shoulder the burden. But by the time Cassa

and her friends uncover the mystery of the final infallible prophecy, it may be too late to save

the city—or themselves.

Destiny Soria lives and works in the shadow of the mighty Vulcan statue in

Birmingham, Alabama. Destiny’s first book, Iron Cast, was published in 2016 to

critical acclaim.

the innocent homeschooled girl; Susan, the sardonic wit; and Esther, the vivacious drama queen.

While the girls seem very different, they become fast friends during their first week of college.

And it’s a good thing they do, because in the giant adventure that is college, a friend who has

your back is key—something Daisy discovers when she gets a little too involved in her extracurricular

club, the Yogic Brethren of Zoise. When she starts acting strange and life around campus gets even

stranger (missing students, secret handshakes, monogrammed robes everywhere . . .), Esther and

Susan decide it’s up to them to investigate the weirdness and save their friend.

Non Pratt is a British author whose debut novel, Trouble, was shortlisted for the YA Book

anything to get Her back. After a chance encounter with the son of the preacher who exorcised her,

Clare goes on an adventure through the dark underbelly of her small southern town, discovering its

deep-seated occult roots. As she searches for Her, she must question the fine lines between good

and evil, love and hate, and religion and free will. Vivid and sharp, The Good Demon tells the unusual

story of friendship amid dark gothic horror.

After Lyra—a princess incapable of speech or sound—is cast out of her kingdom of daylight

by her wicked aunt, a witch saves her life, steals her memories, and raises her in an

enchanted forest . . . and disguises her as a boy known only as “Stain.” Meanwhile, in Lyra’s rival

kingdom, the prince of thorns and night is dying, and the only way for him to break his curse is to

wed the princess of daylight—for she is his true equal. As Lyra finds her way back to her identity,

an imposter princess prepares to steal her betrothed prince and her crown. To win back her kingdom,

save the prince, and make peace with the land of the night, Lyra must be loud enough to be heard

without a voice, and strong enough to pass a series of tests—ultimately proving she’s everything a

traditional princess is not.

Picking up the pieces after the chilling events of the previous year isn’t easy, but the Grace

siblings are determined. Wolf is back after a mysterious disappearance, and everyone’s eager

to return to normal—except Summer, the youngest Grace. Summer has a knack for discovering the

truth, and something is troubling her. But exposing secrets is a dangerous game, and it’s not one she

can win alone. At Summer’s behest, the coven comes back together, drawing their erstwhile friend

River back into the fold. But as the coven’s powers magnify, Wolf’s behavior becomes unpredictable—

and Summer must ask herself whether the friend she loves is planning her family’s ultimate demise.

This riveting sequel to The Graces is saturated with magic, the destructive cost of power, and the

nature of forgiveness.

letters in her dad’s newspaper. When Dora looks at the Milky Way, she begins to wonder how to count

the mesmerizing number of stars. Is it even possible? Is the night sky so full of stars that even all the

with such a complicated task by starting with the simplest of steps, and who knows, maybe one day

she will achieve her dream.

MEET THE ARTIST

Frank Bowling ● BY ZOÉ WHITLE Y ● I LLUSTR ATIONS BY HÉLÈNE BAUM

Meet the Artist: Peter Blake is packed with

inspiring activities for budding artists.

Children can create their own bold pop art imagery

using collage and different paintbrush techniques

inspired by Peter Blake—an English pop artist best

known for co-creating the album-cover design for the

Beatles’ Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band.

The book includes a brief introduction to the

artist’s life, followed by a series of activities that

explore prominent themes and ideas in Blake’s work.

Featuring beautiful reproductions of key artwork and

illustrated by a leading contemporary illustrator—the

artist’s daughter, Rose Blake—this book, like all titles

in the Meet the Artist series, encourages children to

use art as an avenue for exploring ideas and express-

ing their own experiences.

Berry’s The Passion of Dolssa

Honor book, and All the Truth

10 Best in Fiction list in 2014

● Charming illustrations

throughout: April Lee’s beautiful

of all ages

● Hot topic: The medieval world

is experiencing a resurgence of

popularity in books, television

and movies

● Silly story: Reminiscent of Good

Night, Gorilla, the protagonist

spends most of the story

humorously oblivious to the main

action

Godfrey, a peasant boy who works for the lord and lady of the castle, finds a

bestiary, or illustrated book of beasts, on the way to do his chores one morning.

He begins inventing his own story, placing “Sir Godfrey” at the center of numerous heroic

deeds. Sir Godfrey battles a lion, tames a unicorn, defeats a griffin, conquers a bonnacon,

and triumphs over a dragon. Godfrey does not realize that each time he says the name

of an animal, it magically emerges from the book, causing mayhem and inadvertently

accomplishing his chores. The laughs pile up and the tension mounts: When will Godfrey

realize that all this outrageous stuff is going on?

This book also contains engaging backmatter with information on life in the Middle

Ages and a mini-bestiary drawn from original 13th-century manuscripts. Don’t Let the

Beasties Escape This Book! is a humorous introduction to the medieval world.

Julie Berry is the author of the 2017 Michael L. Printz Honor

book The Passion of Dolssa, set in medieval France; the YALSA

award–winning All the Truth That’s In Me, and more. She lives

animator, and 2D special-effects animator. She resides in Encino, California.

Flags are brilliant and clever works of art and design, and they bring people

together under a common banner. This colorful story follows a group of

friends who helped dye and sew strips of cloth to create the first Rainbow Flags for

the San Francisco Gay Freedom Day Parade in 1978.

Led by a young artist named Gilbert Baker, the friends set out to create a flag

that people could march behind during the Pride Parade. They knew the flag

needed to be bright, in order to be seen by everyone as they marched. It needed to

be bold, to lead the crowd. And it needed to be beautiful, like the love celebrated

by the parade! The result is an iconic flag that has become an international symbol

of the gay pride movement.

Michelle Millar Fisher is a curator at the Philadelphia Museum of Art and a former

curator at The Museum of Modern Art, New York. She comes from Scotland and

lives with her husband and her very smart Siamese cat, Harry, in Philadelphia.

Kat Kuang is an artist and illustrator based in San Francisco.

● Iconic symbol: The Rainbow

Flag is an international symbol

of freedom, inclusivity, tolerance,

and love

● Design history: The story focuses

on the creation of the Rainbow

Flag and its importance as a

graphic symbol, and introduces

young readers to the concepts of

design and vexillology (the art of

flag making)

● LGBTQ+-friendly: The book

will especially appeal to

young readers in the LGBTQ+

community

● Artistic collaboration: This is

the first book to highlight the

collaborative nature of the

design of the Rainbow Flag, and

the many volunteers who helped

dye, sew, and fly the first two

flags in 1978

● Drawn from interviews: Author

Michelle Millar Fisher interviewed

Gilbert Baker extensively before

his death in 2017
