More than ever, politics seem to be driven by discord. People sitting together in pews every Sunday feel like strangers and loved ones at the dinner table feel like enemies. Toxic political dialogue, hate-filled rants on social media, and agenda-driven news stories have become the new norm. But it doesn't have to be this way. In I Think You're Wrong (But I'm Listening), two working moms from opposite ends of the political spectrum teach us that politics don't have to divide us. Instead, we can bring the same care and respect to policy discussions that we bring to the rest of our lives. Sarah Stewart Holland and Beth Silvers, co-hosts of Pantsuit Politics, recently named an Apple Podcasts Show of the Year, give you all of the tools you need to: Respect the dignity of every person Recognize that issues are nuanced and can't be reduced to political talking points Listen in order to understand Lead with grace and patience Join Sarah from the left and Beth from the right as they teach you that people from opposing political perspectives truly can have calm, grace-­filled conversations with one another. Praise for I Think You're Wrong (But I'm Listening): "Sarah and Beth are an absolute gift to our culture right now. Not only do they offer balanced perspectives from each political ideology, but they teach us how to dialogue well, without sacri­ficing our humanity." --Jen Hatmaker, New York Times bestselling author and speaker "Sarah from the left and Beth from the right serve as our guides through conflict and complexity, delivering us into connection. I wish every person living in the United States would read this compelling book, from the youngest voter to those holding the highest office." --Emily P. Freeman, Wall Street Journal bestselling author of The Next Right Thing

'The most important start-up book of the last ten years' - Steve Blank, co-creator of the Lean Start-up movement Based on extensive research and real-world examples, Pattern Breakers upends accepted wisdom about how to achieve breakthrough success, and provides a playbook for anyone launching a start-up or creating a new product. Pattern Breakers had its roots in the time when Mike Maples, a seasoned venture capitalist, was stumped, unable to get a grip on why some businesses he funded - X (formerly Twitter), Twitch and Okta, for example - took off, while others considered likely to succeed shut their doors despite seemingly doing everything right. Was it dumb luck that separated gold from dross? What Maples and Stanford University's Peter Ziebelman discovered contradicts accepted wisdom and upends today's formulaic approach to entrepreneurship. They learned that pattern-breaking ideas radically change the traditional rules, and are driven by people with the independent-mindedness and courage to divert from the consensus. With intriguing and entertaining storytelling based on a lifetime of experience, Pattern Breakers vividly illustrates what differentiates breakthrough ideas from those that initially seem promising but that meet with mediocre results, and why others that may initially seem unworthy - and even idiotic - end up radically changing how people live.

When the system fails, there's one final option. #1 New York Times bestselling author Jack Carr launches a blistering new thriller series co-written with New York Times bestseller M.P. Woodward. Former Navy SEAL and CIA operative Chris Walker has lost faith in everything he once served. On the brink of ending his life, a call pulls him back: the widow of a fallen teammate needs help. Her son is dead - another victim of the opioid crisis - and she wants justice. What Walker uncovers is far bigger than one tragedy. Drawn into a deep-rooted conspiracy, he's forced to confront the very institutions he once swore to defend. With driven FBI agent Jarrett Stanton closing in, Walker goes off-grid. Traveling with his fiercely loyal Belgian Malinois and a hidden cache of weapons, he becomes judge, jury, and executioner - exposing corruption and delivering a brutal, long-forgotten brand of justice. In the spirit of classic 'stranger comes to town' Westerns, this is a modern vigilante story -lean, relentless, and explosive. A new kind of hero is here. Justice is coming. Praise for Jack Carr: 'Jack Carr is the real deal' ANDY MCNAB 'Seriously good' LEE CHILD

Aus dem Inhalt der Ausgabe: As I Lay Dying, Parkway Drive und Deathcore-Wahnsinn: Trotz der Kontroversen um Tim Lambesis, der auch nach abgesessener Haftstrafe wegen versuchten Auftragsmords polarisiert, liefern As I Lay Dying seit seiner Rückkehr beeindruckende Releases ab – ein guter Grund, den Herren eine Titelstory aus kritischer Perspektive zu widmen. Ein Blick hinter die Kulissen in exklusiven Interviews mit Tim und Phil Sgrosso zeigt eine Band, die 2024 überraschend gefestigt wirkt. Parkway Drive stehen dem in Sachen Power in nichts nach: Eine massive Tour für das kommende Jahr verspricht ein spektakuläres Live-Feuerwerk und eine der heißesten Live-Produktionen der gesamten Szene. Die Chance, mit Winston McCall ausführlich sprechen zu können, musste selbstredend wahrgenommen werden. Abgerundet werden diese fetten Modern-Metal-Inhalte von einem Special über den seit einigen Jahren gehypten Deathcore. Eine historische Einordnung (inklusive Erinnerungen an MySpace) sowie Interviews mit Fit For An Autopsy, Bleeding Through, Mental Cruelty und vielen mehr lassen den Leser tief in dieses Phänomen eintauchen. Selbstverständlich gibt es aber auch genügend Material aus anderen Extreme-Metal-Sparten: Anomalie überzeugen mit ihrem neuen Album „Riverchild“ und Selbstironie. Earthburner gehen aufs Ganze und packen ihre unbändige Energie in ein provokant kurzes 15-Minuten-Album. Währenddessen melden sich The Gates Of Slumber nach langer Pause zurück und enthüllen in einem exklusiven Gespräch ihre Zukunftspläne. Für die düsterste Note sorgen Schädlich & Söhne (mit Yantit von Eisregen), deren Projekt den „Zweckpessimismus“ in einer fatalistischen Story zum Leben erweckt. Und die dreiseitige Co-Titelstory mit den Avantgarde-Black-Metal-Heroen Schammasch darf natürlich nicht unerwähnt bleiben. Der Soundcheck-Sieg geht dieses Mal ebenfalls an eine kontroverse Entität, nämlich Nachtmystium. Blake Judd, mit all seinen Höhen und Tiefen, zeigt erneut, dass er wie kein anderer Black Metal mit psychedelischer Note prägt. Im Interview gibt er einen ungefilterten Einblick in seine turbulente Vergangenheit und seine Wiederauferstehung als Künstler – schonungslos und intensiv. PLUS 1. LEGACY-COMPILATION mit 18 Tracks: Overlord, Nebelkrähe, Maat, Neverland, Ravenoir, Opus Irae, Helevorn, Torment Of Souls, Beast, Kera Munin, Christian Botteri, Susurration, Ophidian Memory, Inner Enemy, My Elegy, Hereza, Tales Of Mike, Thorndale 2.

Two women test how much weight their friendship can hold in this poignant and tender novel. Roommates since college, Jess and Ren have built a strong-if at times codependent-friendship. Now navigating their late thirties, the women co-own a weathered beachfront home, comother a rescued shelter pup and have inadvertently centered their lives around each another. Jess is clever and driven with a lucrative career running her own real estate brokerage. Magnetic but aimless, Ren has been making margaritas at the same local dive and teaching dance classes at the same run-down gym for well over a decade. After a one-night stand with a tourist leads to pregnancy, Ren realizes motherhood may be the change she's been waiting for, and the friends make a plan to raise the child together. Ren is excitedly pushing toward her due date when the baby's father resurfaces, forcing Jess to face the foreboding notion that for the first time in eighteen years, they may not want the same thing. In this stunning debut spanning nine pivotal months in the lives of two very different women, Zoë Eisenberg examines female friendship with emotional precision and offers an intimate look at who we belong to-and why.

The author of the #1 New York Times bestseller Never Eat Alone redefines collaboration with a radical new workplace operating system in which leadership no longer demands an office, an official title, or even a physical workplace. In times of stress, we have a choice: we can retreat further into our isolated silos, or we can commit to "going higher together." When external pressures are mounting, and employees are working from far-flung locations across the globe, says bestselling author Keith Ferrazzi, we can no longer afford to waste time navigating the complex chains of command or bureaucratic bottlenecks present in most companies. But when we choose the bold new methodology of co-elevation as our operating model, we unlock the potential to boost productivity, deepen commitment and engagement, and create a level of trust, mutual accountability, and purpose that exceeds what could have been accomplished under the status quo. And you don't need any formal authority to do it. You simply have to marshal a commitment to a shared mission and care about the success and development of others as much as you care about your own. Regardless of your title, position, or where or how you work, the ability to lead without authority is an essential workplace competency. Here, Ferrazzi draws on over a decade of research and over thirty years helping CEOs and senior leaders drive innovation and build high-performing teams to show how we can all turn our colleagues and partners into teammates and truly reboot the way we work together.

Belief: surely it's a relic from the past, a hangover from a superstitious age that is totally out of sync with today's rational, science-led culture? 'A timely, often bracing and always highly stimulating book.' Tom Holland, author of Dominion and co-host of The Rest is History In today's science-driven, rational world, belief is dismissed as an artefact of a bygone era – something absurd at best, harmful at worst. The prevailing narratives paint belief as primitive, weird, even dangerous. But as life grows ever more confusing and our societies more atomised, contemplating something bigger than ourselves has never been more vital. Alister McGrath offers a fresh perspective on belief, presenting it not as a weakness of rational thought but as an essential tool for navigating uncertainty. Elegant and thought-provoking, Why We Believe reveals how belief provides meaning in the face of existential despair, how it fosters community and offers solace. As society moves beyond the dismissive rhetoric surrounding people of faith, here is a powerful manifesto for the re-enchantment of the Western mind. 'Scholarly, compulsively readable and with gems of information on every page... a must read.' Revd Fergus Butler-Gallie, author of A Field Guide to the English Clergy

“Vivid and meticulous ... Through painstaking documentation, Johnson shows how anti-Palestinian racism among elite liberals and liberal institutions primed Western audiences for genocide” from the foreword by Noura Erakat, author of Justice for Some As bombs rained down on Gaza in October 2023, images of mass death and destruction gripped the world, and openly genocidal statements from Israeli leaders foretold the magnitude of horrors to come. But the US media was quick to downplay, obscure, and repackage an emerging campaign of extermination into a slick “war on terror” framework. How to Sell a Genocide is an indictment of the US corporate media's role in enabling—and, at times, directly inciting—one of the most devastating campaigns of mass killing in modern memory. Johnson unpacks how major news outlets like the New York Times, CNN, and MSNBC systematically sanitized Israel's war crimes, hid the US's central role, and dehumanized the Palestinian people. Drawing from deep, original data-driven analysis, Johnson dissects the mechanics of propaganda, from the selective empathy, strategic omissions, overt racism, and repetition of state-sanctioned falsehoods, to the demonization of humanitarian workers and dishonest coverage of campus protests. With clarity and moral force, Johnson argues that the genocide could not have been sustained without the active, ongoing complicity of the US media. All royalties from the book will be donated to the Middle East Children's Alliance. Adam Johnson is a media analyst and co-host of the podcast Citations Needed. His writing has been featured in the Nation, In These Times, the Intercept, Los Angeles Times, and San Francisco Chronicle.

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.

Fans of Hannah Grace and Elle Kennedy, meet your new obsession! The international college-romance phenomenon with over one million copies sold and now an Amazon Prime TV series. He's the campus bad boy. She's his neighbour's ex. Who thought becoming roommates was a good idea? Lane O'Neill doesn't do drama, and his plan for senior year of college is simple: run the Campus Drivers ride-share app he co-founded with his best friends, cruise campus in his beloved vintage car, and enjoy the attention that comes with the ride. No strings attached. So when Lane stumbles upon a dishevelled woman asleep in his apartment building hallway, every instinct tells him to keep walking. After all, he doesn't do commitment. Unfortunately, Lois is freshly dumped, newly homeless, and a walking magnet for chaos. She's everything Lane avoids – yet somehow impossible to ignore. That's how he ends up with a temporary roommate, just until Lois can afford a new place. Easy enough. Except her relentless optimism and stubborn heart have an annoying knack for slipping past his carefully built walls. Too bad Lois is done playing the good girl, because she's about to break every rule he's ever lived by. Pick this up if you love: opposites attract, frenemies to lovers, grumpy/sunshine, slow burn/yearning, lots of sexual banter, forced promixity, found family.

For a chess player, chess pieces are like specific tools in a toolbox. We need to know how best to use them, just as a craftsman knows his tools. We shouldn’t use a screwdriver to hammer in a nail; and we shouldn’t position the knights on the edge of the board. Knights are mysterious creatures. They add irrational content to any position. However, in this video tutorial you will learn how to tame them. We will focus on how to create an outpost for a Knight and how to maneuver with this piece to get maximum activity from it. We will talk about the knight’s soul mates: the queen and the passed pawn. We will also focus on positions where knights are vulnerable or hopelessly passive: typically when they are behind the pawn chains in which knight are vulnerable or hopelessly passive: typically, this happens when they are located behind the pawn chain.

A young couple's toxic Instagram crush spins out of control and unleashes a sinister creature in this twisted, viciously funny story. "Um, holy shit ... This novel will be the most fun you'll have this summer." —Emily Temple, Literary Hub Remy and Alicia, a couple of insecure service workers, are not particularly happy together. But they are bound by a shared obsession with Jen, a beautiful former co-worker of Remy’s who now seems to be following her bliss as a globe-trotting jewelry designer. In and outside the bedroom, Remy and Alicia's entire relationship revolves around fantasies of Jen, whose every Instagram caption, outfit, and new age mantra they know by heart. Imagine their confused excitement when they run into Jen, in the flesh, and she invites them on a surfing trip to the Hamptons with her wealthy boyfriend and their group. Once there, Remy and Alicia try (a little too hard) to fit into Jen’s exalted social circle, but violent desire and class resentment bubble beneath the surface of this beachside paradise, threatening to erupt. As small disturbances escalate into outright horror, we find ourselves tumbling with Remy and Alicia into an uncanny alternate reality, one shaped by their most unspeakable, deviant, and intoxicating fantasies. Is this what “self-actualization” looks like? Part millennial social comedy, part psychedelic horror, and all wildly entertaining, A Touch of Jen is a sly, unflinching examination of the hidden drives that lurk just outside the frame of our carefully curated selves. "Bananas good." —Carmen Maria Machado

'With clarity and urgency, this punchy book shows how fascism is the logical conclusion of an anti-democratic future being built by technocratic elites' Jathan Sadowski, author of The Mechanic and the Luddite and co-host of This Machine Kills 'Dismantles Silicon Valley's dangerous salvation myths, brilliantly exposing how the rise of AI and pro-innovation narratives mirror eugenicist and authoritarian ideologies' Brent Mittelstadt, Professor, University of Oxford Awarded the Political Book 2026 Prize by Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung While tech CEOs like Sam Altman and Elon Musk market AI as the saviour of humanity, the industry itself is built on exploitation and contempt for human dignity. Why do we allow ourselves to be distracted by speculations of AI salvation while ignoring the harm? AI and the New Fascism is an autopsy of the digital coup currently reshaping our world. The convergence of Silicon Valley's disruption ethos and the far right's authoritarianism has birthed a new form of fascism that replaces democracy with algorithmic control. Mühlhoff traces the history of modern AI, linking speculative phantasms like artificial general intelligence and longtermism to the eugenicist ideologies of the early 20th century. He discusses transhumanism, techno-libertarianism, and the 'Dark Enlightenment', showing how equality is reframed as an inefficient obstacle to be cleared away in the name of evolutionary progress supposedly driven by AI. This is an essential critique of how the tech elite are programming a post-democratic future, and an urgent call to reclaim the present. Rainer Mühlhoff is a philosopher and mathematician, and Professor of Ethics and Critical Theories of Artificial Intelligence at the University of Osnabrück, Germany.

The #1 New York Times bestselling author of Never Eat Alone redefines collaboration with a radical new workplace operating system in which leadership no longer demands an office, an official title, or even a physical workplace. "An actionable methodology for any team to thrive during the decade of exponential change ahead."-Peter H. Diamandis, founder of XPRIZE and Singularity University, bestselling co-author of Abundance, Bold, and The Future Is Faster Than You Think In times of stress, we have a choice: we can retreat further into our isolated silos, or we can commit to "going higher together." When external pressures are mounting, and employees are working from far-flung locations across the globe, says bestselling author Keith Ferrazzi, we can no longer afford to waste time navigating the complex chains of command or bureaucratic bottlenecks present in most companies. But when we choose the bold new methodology of co-elevation as our operating model, we unlock the potential to boost productivity, deepen commitment and engagement, and create a level of trust, mutual accountability, and purpose that exceeds what could have been accomplished under the status quo. And you don't need any formal authority to do it. You simply have to marshal a commitment to a shared mission and care about the success and development of others as much as you care about your own. Regardless of your title, position, or where or how you work, the ability to lead without authority is an essential workplace competency. Here, Ferrazzi draws on over a decade of research and over thirty years helping CEOs and senior leaders drive innovation and build high-performing teams to show how we can all turn our colleagues and partners into teammates and truly reboot the way we work together.

Fans of Hannah Grace and Elle Kennedy, meet your new obsession! The international college-romance phenomenon with over one million copies sold and now an Amazon Prime TV series. He's the campus bad boy. She's his neighbour's ex. Who thought becoming roommates was a good idea? Lane O'Neill doesn't do drama, and his plan for senior year of college is simple: run the Campus Drivers ride-share app he co-founded with his best friends, cruise campus in his beloved vintage car, and enjoy the attention that comes with the ride. No strings attached. So when Lane stumbles upon a dishevelled woman asleep in his apartment building hallway, every instinct tells him to keep walking. After all, he doesn't do commitment. Unfortunately, Lois is freshly dumped, newly homeless, and a walking magnet for chaos. She's everything Lane avoids - yet somehow impossible to ignore. That's how he ends up with a temporary roommate, just until Lois can afford a new place. Easy enough. Except her relentless optimism and stubborn heart have an annoying knack for slipping past his carefully built walls. Too bad Lois is done playing the good girl, because she's about to break every rule he's ever lived by. Pick this up if you love: opposites attract, frenemies to lovers, grumpy/sunshine, slow burn/yearning, lots of sexual banter, forced promixity, found family.
