“Science has a battle for hearts and minds on its hands….How good it feels to have Lisa Randall’s unusual blend of top flight science, clarity, and charm on our side.” —Richard Dawkins “Dazzling ideas….Read this book today to understand the science of tomorrow.” —Steven Pinker The bestselling author of Warped Passages, one of Time magazine’s “100 Most Influential People in the World,” and one of Esquire’s “75 Most Influential People of the 21st Century,” Lisa Randall gives us an exhilarating overview of the latest ideas in physics and offers a rousing defense of the role of science in our lives.

ISBN: 1416594493

A powerful, beautifully written memoir about coming of age as a black girl in an exclusive white suburb in "integrated," post-Civil Rights California in the 1970s and 1980s. At six years of age, after winning a foot race against a white classmate, Jennifer Baszile was humiliated to hear her classmate explain that black people "have something in their feet to make them run faster than white people." When she asked her teacher about it, it was confirmed as true. The next morning, Jennifer's father accompanied her to school, careful to "assert himself as an informed and concerned parent and not simply a big, black, dangerous man in a first-grade classroom." This was the first of many skirmishes in Jennifer's childhood-long struggle to define herself as "the black girl next door" while living out her parents' dreams. Success for her was being the smartest and achieving the most, with the consequence that much of her girlhood did not seem like her own but more like the "family project." But integration took a toll on everyone in the family when strain in her parents' marriage emerged in her teenage years, and the struggle to be the perfect black family became an unbearable burden. A deeply personal view of a significant period of American social history, The Black Girl Next Door deftly balances childhood experiences with adult observations, creating an illuminating and poignant look at a unique time in our country's history.

Mom hasn’t been herself lately. She’s constantly misplacing her keys and she is more and more disoriented, even in her own home. Is this normal aging, or is it the start of dementia? FACT: one in three seniors in the United States is affected by dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. Whether it concerns a parent or perhaps a spouse, virtually everyone knows someone with the disease or knows a family touched by its effects. FACT: It is most beneficial to recognize the early symptoms of dementia and to respond to them, whether or not the disease is medically diagnosed. FACT: Dementia and Alzheimer’s disease are progressive and incurable. In UNLOCKING THE DOOR TO DEMENTIA BY LAUREN, families and caregivers will read how to understand and navigate their loved one’s new reality.

"Susanna Allen's writing is SO GOOD. It sucked me right in." —Julia Quinn for A Wolf in Duke's Clothing Fans of Bridgerton won't want to miss this steamy paranormal historical romance from author Susanna Allen. The sparkling Regency era goes wild: After being captured and held captive in a traveling menagerie, Alwyn Ap Lewin, Duke of Llewellyn, refuses to shift into his lion form. The longer he denies his inner lion, the sicker he gets, but he'd rather die free than be captive ever again. The denizens of Lowell Close live in fear and suspicion of Alwyn—except for lady apothecary Tabitha Barrington. Tabitha alone can help the shapeshifting duke, and with her by his side, the Wild Lion of Wales discovers he has something to live for, and to fight for, after all. Praise for A Wolf in Duke's Clothing: "Sparkling wit, scrumptious chemistry!"—Grace Burrowes, New York Times and USA Today bestselling author "A playful mix of humor, fantasy, and Regency romance."—Publishers Weekly "Sparkling dialogue and steamy chemistry."—Kirkus Reviews
