But for Jason Collier, that one little photo turned his world upside down. The then-police chief of Stinnett, Texas, found himself as the butt of a weary, embattled nation’s jokes.

#1  NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • OPRAH’S BOOK CLUB PICK • NATIONAL BOOK AWARD LONGLIST •  “An instant American classic and almost certainly the keynote nonfiction book of the American century thus far.”—Dwight Garner,  The New York Times The Pulitzer Prize–winning, bestselling author of  The Warmth of Other Suns  examines the unspoken caste system that has shaped America and shows how our lives today are still defined by a hierarchy of human divisions. NAMED THE #1 NONFICTION BOOK OF THE YEAR BY TIME,  ONE OF THE TEN BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY People • The Washington Post • Publishers Weekly  AND ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY The New York Times Book Review • O: The Oprah Magazine  • NPR • Bloomberg  • Christian Science Monitor • New York Post • The New York Public Library • Fortune •  Smithsonian Magazine •  Marie Claire • Town & Country • Slate  •  Library Journal • Kirkus Reviews • LibraryReads • PopMatters Los Angeles Times Book Prize Finalist • National Book Critics Circle Award Finalist • PEN/John Kenneth Galbraith Award for Nonfiction Finalist • PEN/Jean Stein Book Award Longlist “As we go about our daily lives, caste is the wordless usher in a darkened theater, flashlight cast down in the aisles, guiding us to our assigned seats for a performance. The hierarchy of caste is not about feelings or morality. It is about power—which groups have it and which do not.”   In this brilliant book, Isabel Wilkerson gives us a masterful portrait of an unseen phenomenon in America as she explores, through an immersive, deeply researched narrative and stories about real people, how America today and throughout its history has been shaped by a hidden caste system, a rigid hierarchy of human rankings.   Beyond race, class, or other factors, there is a powerful caste system that influences people’s lives and behavior and the nation’s fate. Linking the caste systems of America, India, and Nazi Germany, Wilkerson explores eight pillars that underlie caste systems across civilizations, including divine will, bloodlines, stigma, and more. Using riveting stories about people—including Martin Luther King, Jr., baseball’s Satchel Paige, a single father and his toddler son, Wilkerson herself, and many others—she shows the ways that the insidious undertow of caste is experienced every day. She documents how the Nazis studied the racial systems in America to plan their out-cast of the Jews; she discusses why the cruel logic of caste requires that there be a bottom rung for those in the middle to measure themselves against; she writes about the surprising health costs of caste, in depression and life expectancy, and the effects of this hierarchy on our culture and politics. Finally, she points forward to ways America can move beyond the artificial and destructive separations of human divisions, toward hope in our common humanity. Beautifully written, original, and revealing,  Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents  is an eye-opening story of people and history, and a reexamination of what lies under the surface of ordinary lives and of American life today. |

The greatest true-crime story in music history, as only James Patterson can tell it.   With the Beatles, John Lennon surpasses his youthful dreams, achieving a level of superstardom that defies classification. “We were the best bloody band there was,” he says. “There was nobody to touch us.” Nobody except the original nowhere man, Mark David Chapman. Chapman once worshipped his idols from afar—but now harbors grudges against those, like Lennon, whom he feels betrayed him. He’s convinced Lennon has misled fans with his message of hope and peace. And Chapman’s not staying away any longer.    By the summer of 1980, Lennon is recording new music for the first time in years, energized and ready for it to be “(Just Like) Starting Over.” He can’t wait to show the world what he will do.    Neither can Chapman, who quits his security job and boards a flight to New York, a handgun and bullets stowed in his luggage.    The greatest true-crime story in music history, as only James Patterson can tell it. Enriched by exclusive interviews with Lennon’s friends and associates, including Paul McCartney,  The Last Days of John Lennon  is the thrilling true story of two men who changed history: One whose indelible songs enliven our world to this day—and the other who ended the beautiful music with five pulls of a trigger. |

A revolutionary new approach to ADD/ADHD featuring cutting-edge research and strategies to help readers thrive, by the bestselling authors of the seminal books  Driven to Distraction  and  Delivered from Distraction “An inspired road map for living with a distractible brain . . . If you or your child suffer from ADHD, this book should be on your shelf. It will give you courage and hope.”—Michael Thompson, Ph.D.,  New York Times  bestselling co-author of  Raising Cain World-renowned authors Dr. Edward M. Hallowell and Dr. John J. Ratey literally “wrote the book” on ADD/ADHD more than two decades ago. Their bestseller, Driven to Distraction , largely introduced this diagnosis to the public and sold more than a million copies along the way. Now, most people have heard of ADHD and know someone who may have it. But lost in the discussion of both childhood and adult diagnosis of ADHD is the potential upside: Many hugely successful entrepreneurs and highly creative people attribute their achievements to ADHD. Also unknown to most are the recent research developments, including innovations that give a clearer understanding of the ADHD brain in action. In ADHD 2.0 , Drs. Hallowell and Ratey, both of whom have this “variable attention trait,” draw on the latest science to provide both parents and adults with ADHD a plan for minimizing the downside and maximizing the benefits of ADHD at any age. They offer an arsenal of new strategies and lifestyle hacks for thriving with ADHD, including • Find the right kind of difficult. Use these behavior assessments to discover the work, activity, or creative outlet best suited to an individual’s unique strengths. • Reimagine environment. What specific elements to look for—at home, at school, or in the workplace—to enhance the creativity and entrepreneurial spirit inherent in the ADHD mind. • Embrace innate neurological tendencies. Take advantage of new findings about the brain’s default mode network and cerebellum, which confer major benefits for people with ADHD. • Tap into the healing power of connection. Tips for establishing and maintaining positive connection “the other Vitamind C” and the best antidote to the negativity that plagues so many people with ADHD. • Consider medication. Gets the facts about the underlying chemistry, side effects, and proven benefits of all the pharmaceutical options. As inspiring as it is practical, ADHD 2.0 will help you tap into the power of this mercurial condition and find the key that unlocks potential. |

One of the fundamental works of Western political thought, Aristotle’s masterwork is the first systematic treatise on the science of politics. For almost three decades, Carnes Lord’s justly acclaimed translation has served as the standard English edition. Widely regarded as the most faithful to both the original Greek and Aristotle’s distinctive style, it is also written in clear, contemporary English. This new edition of the Politics retains and adds to Lord’s already extensive notes, clarifying the flow of Aristotle’s argument and identifying literary and historical references. A glossary defines key terms in Aristotle’s philosophical-political vocabulary. Lord has made revisions to problematic passages throughout the translation in order to enhance both its accuracy and its readability. He has also substantially revised his introduction for the new edition, presenting an account of Aristotle’s life in relation to political events of his time; the character and history of his writings and of the Politics in particular; his overall conception of political science; and his impact on subsequent political thought from antiquity to the present. Further enhancing this new edition is an up-to-date selected bibliography. |

MESSIEURS : ÊTES VOUS DANS UN MARIAGE SANS SEXE ? ÊTES-VOUS DIVORCÉ ET NE VOULEZ PAS VIVRE CE CAUCHEMAR À NOUVEAU ? VOUS N'ÊTES PAS SEUL. IL Y A BEAUCOUP D'HOMMES QUI NE SONT PAS HEUREUX DE LEUR VIE SEXUELLE. Que se passe-t-il ? Est-ce que les stéréotypes vieux comme le monde du mari frustré sexuellement et de la femme frigide et mégère sont inévitables ? Est-ce que la monogamie est condamnée à un si piteux état ? Est-ce simplement la façon que les mariages sont sensés êtres ? JE NE LE PENSE PAS. Bref, plusieurs années auparavant, j'ai été marié pendant 15 ans et j'ai découvert que ma femme me trompait. J'ai rapidement divorcé et je me suis retrouvé célibataire avec trois enfants à charge. J'ai ensuite démarré mon site dadstartingover.com. Après avoir discuté avec plusieurs hommes dans ma situation, j'ai tranquillement commencé à remarquer une constante dans les comportements. La plupart des hommes ont fait l'expérience d'une longue période de chambre morte dans leur couple avant le divorce. Plusieurs de ces hommes ont découvert une infidélité. Ce n'est pas une coïncidence que les deux aillent de pairs. La femme veut de l'intimité également. Elle n'en veut tout simplement pas avec son mari. J'ai écrit mes réflexions sur le sujet de la chambre morte sur mon site internet et c'est de loin, le sujet le plus populaire à ce jour. Il a dépassé tous les autres sujets réunis. J'ai ensuite débuté un podcast et enregistré quelques épisodes. La chambre morte était l'épisode le plus téléchargé. Pour faire simple, personne ne semblait savoir quoi faire pour garder la flamme dans une vie de couple. Plusieurs d'entre nous avaient fait l'expérience d'une phase lune de miel , pour ensuite voir le tout partir en vrille dans le stress de la vie familiale et de la monotonie. Pour être honnête, ça n'a pas à être ainsi. Je ne prétends pas avoir toutes les réponses pour le secret d'un mariage et d'une vie sexuelle heureuse. Ce que je sais, c'est que ma propre expérience (sept ans de mariage vraiment heureux et satisfaisant dans ma nouvelle vie de couple) et que celle d'une centaine d'hommes m'ont aidé à créer un guide pour ce qui est, je crois, la seule vraie méthode, honnête et sans conneries pour que ta femme veuille bien te baiser à nouveau. Cela a marché pour moi et pour des milliers d'hommes comme toi. J'ai mis ce guide sur papier et je l'ai appelé  Le remède contre la chambre morte . Mes lecteurs sont des gens qui aiment réparer les trucs cassés et qui ont essayé tout ce qu'ils pouvaient imaginer pour rallumer la flamme. Certains ont déjà perdu la bataille pour leur mariage et ne veulent pas repasser par les mêmes horreurs. Voici ce qu'ils me disent tous :  Le remède contre la chambre morte est le meilleur guide, sans conneries, sans détour et sans non-sens pour se remettre soi-même, ainsi que sa vie sexuelle, dans le droit chemin. Ça marche |

Ein dringend notwendiger Weckruf von Deutschlands bekanntestem Philosophen In den Jahren 2020 und 2021, der Zeit der Covid-19-Pandemie, ereignete sich ein bemerkenswertes Schauspiel. Während der weitaus größte Teil der Menschen Empathie mit den Schwachen und besonders Gefährdeten zeigte, entpflichtete sich eine Minderheit davon und rebellierte gegen die staatlichen Maßnahmen zum Schutz der Gesundheit aller Bürger. Für Richard David Precht ein Anlass, darüber nachzudenken, was eigentlich die Pflicht des Fürsorge- und Vorsorgestaates gegenüber seinen Bürgern ist und was die Pflicht seiner Bürger. Was schulden wir dem Staat und was sind die Rechte der Anderen auf uns? Die Frage führt ein Dilemma vor Augen: Auf der einen Seite sind wir darauf konditioniert, egoistische Konsumenten zu sein. Und auf der anderen Seite braucht der Staat zu seinem Funktionieren genau das Gegenteil, nämlich solidarische Staatsbürger. Könnte es da nicht hilfreich sein, das Pflichtgefühl der Bürger in der liberalen Demokratie durch zwei Pflichtjahre zu stärken? Eines nach dem Schulabschluss und eines beim Eintritt in die Rente, um allen Bürgern die Möglichkeit zu geben, sich selbst in der Pflicht gegenüber dem Staat und auch gegenüber anderen zu erfahren? |

The most famous true crime novel of all time and one of the first non-fiction novels ever written; In Cold Blood is the bestseller that haunted its author long after he finished writing it. On November 15, 1959, in the small town of Holcomb, Kansas, four members of the Clutter family were savagely murdered by blasts from a shotgun held a few inches from their faces. There was no apparent motive for the crime, and there were almost no clues.  As Truman Capote reconstructs the murder and the investigation that led to the capture, trial, and execution of the killers, he generates both mesmerizing suspense and astonishing empathy.  In Cold Blood  is a work that transcends its moment, yielding poignant insights into the nature of American violence. |

“A decisive snapshot of this moment in history that considers where we were, and sets the stage for where we might go, and will no doubt be used to describe this moment long after we move on to a new normal.” —Zoe Whittall, author of The Best Kind of People An illuminating, timely look at the changing landscape of sexual politics by the author of Crazy Town . For nearly two years, Globe and Mail reporter Robyn Doolittle investigated how Canadian police handle sexual assault cases. Her findings were shocking: across the country, in big cities and small towns, the system was dismissing a high number of allegations as "unfounded." A police officer would simply view the claim as baseless and no investigation would follow. Of the 26,500 reported cases of sexual assault in 2015, only 1,400 resulted in convictions. The response to Doolittle's groundbreaking Unfounded series was swift. Federal ministers immediately vowed to establish better oversight, training, and policies; Prime Minister Trudeau announced $100 million to combat gender-based violence; Statistics Canada began to collect and publish unfounded rates; and to date, about a third of the country's forces have pledged to review more than 10,000 sex-assault cases dating back to 2010. Had It Coming picks up where the Unfounded series left off. Doolittle brings a personal voice to what has been a turning point for most women: the #MeToo movement and its aftermath. The world is now increasingly aware of the pervasiveness of rape culture in which powerful men got away with sexual assault and harassment for years: from Bill Cosby, Harvey Weinstein, Bill O'Reilly, and Matt Lauer, to Charlie Rose and Jian Ghomeshi. But Doolittle looks beyond specific cases to the big picture. The issue of "consent" figures largely: not only is the public confused about what it means, but an astounding number of police officers and judges do not understand Canadian consent law. The brain's reaction to trauma and how it affects memory is also crucial to understanding victim statements. Surprisingly, Canada has the most progressive sexual assault laws in the developed world, yet the system is failing victims at every stage. Had It Coming is not a diatribe or manifesto, but a nuanced and informed look at how attitudes around sexual behaviour have changed and still need to change. |

A research-based guide to navigating the newest dating phenomenon--"the love gap"--and a trailblazing action plan to help smart, confident, career-driven women find (and keep) their match. For a rising generation young women, the sky is the limit. Women can be anything and have everything. They are outpacing their male peers in higher education and earning the corner office at work. Smart, driven, assertive women are succeeding at just about everything they do--except romance. Why are so many men afraid to date smart women? Modern men claim to want smarts, success, and independence in romantic partners. Or so says the data collected by scientists and dating websites. If that's the case, why are so many independent, successful women winning in life, but losing in love? Journalist Jenna Birch has finally named the perplexing reason: "the love gap"--or that confusing rift between who men say they want to date and who they actually commit to. Backed by extensive data, research, in-depth interviews with experts and real-life relationship stories, The Love Gap is the first book to explore the most talked-about dating trend today. The guide also establishes a new framework for navigating modern relationships, and the tricky new gender dynamics that impact them. Women can, and should, have it all without settling. |

At some point after fifty, every woman crosses a threshold into the third phase of her life. As she enters this uncharted territory -- one that is generally uncelebrated in popular culture -- she can choose to mourn what has gone before, or she can embrace the juicy-crone years. In this celebration of Act Three, Jean Shinoda Bolen, Jungian analyst and bestselling author of Goddesses in Everywoman, names the powerful new energies and potentials -- or archetypes -- that come into the psyche at this momentous time, suggesting that women getting older have profound and exciting reasons for welcoming the other side of fifty. |

La mine, c’est à la fois le crayon, l’expression et le potentiel explosif. Nous disons mines de rien, parce qu’il s’agit de petites choses, ces petits riens souvent passés sous silence, et qui, pourtant, nous minent. Trois professeures de lettres délaissent les formes académiques pour se donner le plaisir des billets d’humeur, de l’archéologie du quotidien, en solidarité avec toutes celles qui subissent les humiliations invisibles. Têtues, critiques, moqueuses ou graves, elles s’entendent sur un point: si le monde a beaucoup changé, si l’égalité semble à portée de main, le sexisme demeure bien vivace partout. Mines de rien, ce sont trois féministes qui mettent en commun leurs plumes grinçantes pour dépeindre nos travers avec des lunettes pas vraiment roses. Du marketing aux toilettes publiques, en passant par les médias sociaux, la culture du viol, l’instinct maternel ou la masturbation, leurs chroniques s’indignent de l’ordinaire sexiste, et prouvent qu’il est aussi arbitraire qu’anachronique. Ici la conscience aiguë du phallocentrisme n’est pas un poids, mais un moteur. Mieux vaut, paraît-il, en rire. Mieux vaut surtout s’en indigner. * Isabelle Boisclair, Lucie Joubert et Lori Saint-Martin sont auteures et professeures de littérature à l’université. |

Since the 1990s, the Ankarana region of northern Madagascar has developed a reputation among globe-trotting gemstone traders and tourists as a source of some of the world's most precious natural wonders. Although some might see Ankarana's sapphire and ecotourist trades as being at odds with each other, many local people understand these trades to be fundamentally connected, most obviously in how both serve foreign demand for what Madagascar has to offer the world. Walsh explores the tensions and speculations that have come with the parallel emergence of these two trades with sensitivity and a critical eye, allowing for insights into globalization, inequality, and the appeal of the "natural."
