"From stocking your kitchen cabinets to stocking a prepper pantry, this is the essential guide to creating a practical food storage system for everyday life and long-term emergencies, from the creator of This Prepared Life. Allison Michael's unique, three-layered system is all about building food storage for both short- and long-term emergencies. The first layer is your own kitchen pantry--it includes the foods you'll eat in the next week or two. The second layer is your "home grocery store," containing the food you'll eat over the coming year; you'll "shop" from there to refill your pantry. The third layer is long-term storage for a future emergency; these are bulk quantities of foods, packaged carefully to last years or even decades. Whether you're trying to shop less often, still skittish from living through the pandemic food shortages, or aspiring to fully prepare your family to survive a long-term emergency, Home Food Storage provides the skills you need to implement and maintain a successful food storage system--one that starts with a well-stocked kitchen and is full of nutritious foods that your family enjoys eating."--amazon.com

A deeply motivating, funny, and unexpectedly moving book about what happens when we dare to step up to the starting lines in our lives. Drawing on the philosophy that has inspired millions around the world, Coach Bennett reframes running not as a test of speed, distance, or competition--but as a practice in showing up, moving forward, and discovering what's possible when you take a chance on yourself. With his signature mix of positivity, pop-culture wisdom, and back-to-basics insight, Bennett strips away the pressure that keeps so many people stuck. Instead, he offers a refreshing invitation: you don't have to be fast, fit, or fearless to be a runner. You just have to start. And once you do, running has a way of teaching you about far more than running: about resilience, confidence, self-trust, and the quiet power of momentum. Whether you're lacing up for the first time, returning after years away, or simply looking for a new way to think about progress, this book is a reminder that forward is forward, and that something extraordinary can happen when you take that first step. Because the best running isn't really about running at all. It's about life.

The NFL is the toughest league in the world in which to build a winner--and it's not particularly close. Between the hard salary cap, constant rule changes, comprehensive revenue redistribution, and constraining player contracts, the league engineers parity with draconian efficiency. It punishes winners, elevates losers, and goes out of its way to prevent dynasties. By the laws of the NFL, this hard road to the top is a feature, not a bug. And yet, in the face of these intense obstacles, some teams have learned how to thrive, year after year. How does this happen? What separates the champions from the Sunday-afternoon chaff? Talent on the field and on the sidelines helps, but as Joshua Robinson and Jonathan Clegg reveal the modern NFL is not won through Xs and Os alone. Instead there is a new calculus of winning in the world's most lucrative sports league. The teams that triumph exploit a range of loopholes from contract strategy to draft savvy to proprietary metrics, finding ways to extract ruthless efficiencies from a system built to strip away every advantage. Going inside the front offices and locker rooms of the most influential and forward-looking teams in today's NFL--from the Eagles to the Ravens to the Rams--Robinson and Clegg show the franchises that are using the NFL's rigid system to their own advantage, examining how they are drafting creatively, winning differently--and how the rest of league has yet to catch up. The result is a fascinating window into achieving success in the modern NFL and an unparalleled look at how the cunning it takes to win on the field starts in the most surprising of places.

A personal account of America's recent history, informed by O'Reilly's firsthand encounters and interviews.

"The untold and unheralded stories of women in sports history, forgotten no longer... So many women in sports history have been overlooked. Their strength and perseverance dismissed or forgotten. Even the most well-known women athletes don't garner the same attention as their men counterparts. Despite this, new generations are engaging with and supporting women athletes, both as individual stars and on teams. Men's sports continues to dominate in terms of media coverage and airtime, but the momentum for women's sports is here, and it's growing. Women today, as skilled as they are in their own right, stand on the shoulders of the giants who built the game, brought the pain, stayed the course, and gave it their all. This collection, from renowned speaker, author, and retired U.S. Army Major General Mari K. Eder highlights all of these women, covering incredible American athletes from the 1900s to the modern era. The Girls Who Beat the Odds is a showcase of just how far women's sports has come in the past hundred years -- while honoring those who had the courage and fortitude to come first." --

"Attend any Jewish seder or gathering and the dessert table is always the star: sprinkle cookies and honey cake served at the synagogue after Saturday service, the meringues and brownies laid out after Passover seder, the array of sweets infused with honey, apples, pumpkin, and pomegranate for Rosh Hashanah.

"If your relationship, hobby, job or sport just isn't working for you, award-winning New York Times editor and producer Lindsay Crouse offers revolutionary advice: Quit. We live in a society that champions perseverance, sweat, and tenacity no matter the cost. But what if our relentlessness results in failure, sunken costs, and poor health, rather than success, happiness, and vitality? Lindsay Crouse, an award-winning reporter and lively writer for the New York Times, argues that our society has tricked us into thinking that endurance is an ultimate achievement, despite the surprising cost to ourselves. She delves into the science of perseverance versus walking away from aspects of our lives, and relays a diverse blend of compelling personal stories, historical examples, and psychological insights--from the origins of the self-help genre to Bear Bryant's "hell camp" to the Finnish concept of sisu, resilience-to answer such questions as: When is it time to let go of unproductive efforts?

For anyone at a crossroads in their personal or professional lives, The Case for Quitting is a groundbreaking guide that ruptures our core beliefs. Career seekers, athletes, entrepreneurs, and anyone exploring new opportunities or feeling stuck in unproductive routines will appreciate its insights on the courage and--importantly--strategy involved in quitting"--

It's 1935 in Seoul, Korea, and struggling artist Yun Iho has been commissioned by the elderly, reclusive Madam Song Jeonghwa to paint an updated portrait of her. When Iho goes to pick up the art supplies from the previous artist's room, he finds an ominous note tucked between paint tubes: "Do not finish the portrait." When he actually meets Madam Song, he finds her to be startlingly young and beautiful, yet she asks him to paint her as though she were eighty. What could it all mean? Listening to her seemingly unrelated stories about a spate of unsolved murders in Shanghai that happened long before Iho was born does little to allay his confusion. In a slowly unfolding revelation, each panel drenched in more dread than the last, Iho learns that no artist has ever left Madam Song's hotel alive. He starts to suspect the horrifying truth of what she is, and what, exactly, she might be capable of. . . .

In 1996, a retired New York City high school English teacher published a memoir that took the publishing world by storm. Angela's Ashes, the story of Frank McCourt's childhood in Ireland, was a bold account of poverty and family tragedy, suffused with humor and compassion. It went on to sell over ten million copies and won the Pulitzer Prize and National Book Critics Circle Award. Frank McCourt was suddenly an internationally celebrated memoirist, a writer who had invigorated the genre. But most readers didn't know that Angela's Ashes wasn't Frank's first published writing. For years, he and his actor brother Malachy contributed a column to a neighborhood newspaper called The West Side Spirit. Malachy, himself a bestselling writer, also contributed to Our Town, Irish America, and The Southampton Review. And Frank went on to write for prominent publications including The New Yorker, The New York Times, Esquire, Life, and Rolling Stone. Sez I to Myself collects the best of those essays and works of journalism. Here the brothers McCourt tackle parades and pubs, classrooms and churches, the immigrant experience, loss, 9/11, the writing life, and more. This is a charming, tender, and insightful collection, a welcome new book from two masterful and much-loved writers.--Publisher marketing

"In this deeply personal and insightful book, Isabel Allende delves into her creative process, reflecting on nearly half a century of writing that has captivated millions of readers worldwide. For Allende, writing is more than a craft. It is an addiction, a means of preserving memory, and a way to make sense of life. She offers readers an intimate glimpse into her creative world, where stories take shape through intuition, discipline, and deep connection to the human experience. It is also a glimpse into the life of a writer who views literature as a portal to understanding the chaos of life. 'Story Telling' is not a prescriptive guide to writing. Rather, it is a conversation. In it, Allende shares her triumphs, her mistakes, and the lessons learned through the challenges and joys of writing. She intertwines her own stories with invaluable wisdom for anyone pursuing the craft, making this book equally a memoir, a master class in the alchemy of storytelling, and a celebration of the enduring power of narrative."--

It may be scant solace, but history will be particularly harsh to a subset of Trump enablers with a few key things in common: They have money and power. They represent intuitions that are central in determining whether America remains a free, functioning democracy or not. And they absolutely know better. History starts now. In Profiles in Cowardice, Jacob Weisberg has written one of the first defining books of the Trump Era--how this pitch-black political moment happened, why so few resisted, and what it reveals about the character of American leadership. Jeff Bezos, Amazon, and Big Tech. Stephen Schwarzman, Blackstone, and Wall Street. Brad Karp, Paul, Weiss, and Big Law. Mitch McConnell and the United States Senate. Eight individuals in all, together forming an entwined network of power in America, and a new way to understand how authoritarianism can take root in an open society--not by overthrowing institutions, but by bending and bullying them into submission. The book is a masterful study of the ways people create rationalizations to justify basic human instincts such as greed, vanity and fear--above all fear. Fear is the great enemy of democracy, and the book illuminates how it operates, how it disguises itself, and how it spreads. The book is timeless: its profiles are case studies, but they are also mirrors. They ask readers to examine their own instincts, their own silences, their own thresholds for action. This is not a morality tale with easy villains. It is an attempt to describe the moral mechanics of democratic failure. By studying that failure up close, we may better understand what courage truly requires--and why it is so rarely summoned when it matters most.

"History is written by the victors, and the victors are men. This assumption colors our view of every past era: The fittest survive. The strongest rule. "Human nature" is intrinsically warlike. The record tells a different story. Across the globe, over millennia--immortalized in bone, stone, and fired clay--archaeologists find: women. From 40,000 years ago until the birth of Christ, statuettes of women--in poses totally free of shame--overwhelmingly outnumber depictions of men. Why did our prehistoric ancestors portray women so consistently, so predominantly? And what does this tell us about how our societies have evolved--or devolved? In immersive imagery and sweeping sequences, award-winning author and artist Ulli Lust ranges with grace across archaeology, anthropology, art history, and her own lived experience to "reset" the human narrative. She brings to vivid life the prehistoric people whose greatest victory was sheer survival--a group effort achieved by women, men, children, and nonbinary people--in societies far more egalitarian than we, their modern descendants, have dared to imagine. Magisterially conceived, intensively researched, brilliantly executed, Early Man Was a Woman is a towering achievement--a profound retelling of the human story--from the very beginning to today."-- Provided by publisher.

"Fourth graders doing Google-branded coding lessons. Amazon schooling seventh graders on its warehouse robots. Advanced Placement computing courses from Microsoft and Apple. Many educators and parents would object if Exxon wrote their school's climate curriculum--or if schools assigned nutrition lessons from Coca-Cola and McDonald's. Yet today, tech giants influence nearly every step of the education supply chain. They provide the classroom devices and software many students use to do assignments. They sell schools on the latest artificial intelligence tools. And increasingly, tech companies are launching their own corporate-branded school curricula, shaping how and what millions of children learn. In recent years, the tech industry has helped spread computer science and AI education in schools at astonishing speed and scale. In Coding Kids, award-winning New York Times journalist Natasha Singer draws on a decade of reporting to reveal how tech titans used the promise of coding (high-paying jobs! change the world!) to weave rosy industry visions of technology into the very fabric of American education, sometimes sidelining crucial ideas like civics and critical thinking. Along the way, Singer takes readers through the powerful playbook Big Tech used to scale coding lessons nationwide. Then she shows readers how tech companies are now applying the same playbook to mainstream their AI tools in schools. A revelatory account of the powerful forces shaping education and our kids' futures, Coding Kids also offers hope. It tells the compelling stories of pioneering teachers fighting for a broader vision of tech education--one that not only teaches kids algorithms and app-making, but also asks students to grapple with the societal impacts of tech giants and their disruptive digital tools" --Publisher marketing.
