All or Nothing : How Trump Recaptured America eBookby Michael WolffAs Trump cruelly and swiftly dispatches his opponents, heaps fire and fury on the prosecutors and judges who are pursuing him, and mocks and belittles anyone in his way--including the President of the United States--this becomes not just another election but perhaps, both sides say, the last election. Threading a needle between tragedy and farce, the fate of the nation, the liberal ideal, and democracy itself, All or Nothing paints a portrait of a man whose behavior is so unimaginable, so uncontrolled, so unmindful of cause and effect, that it defeats all the structures and logic of civic life. And yet, in one of the most remarkable comebacks in American political history, Trump is victorious.

I'll Have What She's Having eBookby Chelsea HandlerAt 10 years old, Chelsea opened a lemonade stand and realized she'd make more money if the drinks were spiked. So she added vodka to her recipe and used her earnings to upgrade herself to first-class on a family vacation-leaving her parents and siblings in coach. At 19, she moved to Los Angeles and got fired from her temp job when she admitted she didn't know how to transfer calls. She played pickleball with the scions of an American dynasty. She sexted a governor. She shared psychedelics with strangers in Spain. Chelsea Handler has never been one to hold back, but this life of adventure and absurdity is only part of her story. Chelsea's truest calling is showing up for her family-canine and human, biological and chosen. She's come to embrace spending time with herself, meditating, remaining open to love, and ending relationships with grace when that's what's called for. She is a sister to the many women who rely on her. |

Potomac Fever : Reflections on the Nation's River eBookby Charlotte Taylor Fryar As she walks the length of the Potomac River, clambering up its banks and sounding its depths, Charlotte Taylor Fryar examines the geography and ecology of Washington, D.C. with all manner of flora and fauna as her witnesses. The ecological traces of human inhabitancy provide her with imaginative access into America's past, for her true subject is the origin of our splintered nation and racially divided capital. From the gentrified neighborhood of Shaw to George Washington's slave labor camp at Mount Vernon, Potomac Fever maps the troubled histories of the United States by leading us along the less-trafficked trails and side streets of our capital city, steeped in the legacy of white supremacy and colonialism. In the end, Fryar offers hope for how 'we might grow a society guided by the ethics and values of the places we live'.
