A girl fights to preserve her great-uncles’ legacy in the face of gentrification in this middle grade novel about finding your courage and the power of art from E.L. Konigsburg, the Newbery Medal–winning author of From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler . “I prefer not to” is Margaret Rose Kane’s refrain at summer camp. She didn’t want to come to Camp Talequa—with its uptight camp director and cruel cabinmates—and; while she may have been exiled here while her parents are in Peru, no one can make her participate. Thankfully, her sentence ends early when her beloved great-uncles rescue her and bring her to stay with them at their wonderful house at 19 Schuyler Place. But Margaret Rose soon discovers that something is terribly wrong. The recently gentrified neighborhood’s new residents want to get rid of her uncles’ masterpiece, a labor of love that took forty-five years to complete: three magnificent towers constructed of scrap metal and shards of glass and porcelain. Margaret Rose is outraged and determined to strike a blow for art, for history, and for individuality. Luckily, her experience at camp gave her plenty of practice at civil disobedience…

INSTANT NATIONAL BESTSELLER! A vivid trip through the mind of the top professional wrestler in the business—a nobody from nowhere who achieved his ambitions and walked away with the gold and the girl of his dreams. Ride alongside Jon Moxley as he retraces some of the highways traveled on his remarkable journey. Revel in the never-before-told stories about his early life in Cincinnati, Ohio; the gritty independent wrestling scene where he cut his teeth; the complicated corporate landscape of the WWE where he bucked against authority; and the rebellious upstart AEW, where he won the championship in 2020 and was finally free to achieve the vision of the wrestler he’d always wanted to be. With plenty of pitstops and revelatory insights, including grisly ultraviolent encounters, crazy characters who became lifelong friends, and his unforgettable matches in Japan, MOX is the riveting account of the life of a brawler. It is a tale written in blood and soaked in debauchery, with a good dose of wisdom accumulated along the way. More than a backstage pass into the arena, MOX is a ticket into the ring. Once inside, you’ll never look at pro wrestling the same again.

Ronnie James Dio was a heavy metal icon and frontman of three of the best-selling, most influential and famous rock bands in history: Rainbow, Black Sabbath and his own multi-million selling band, Dio. Rainbow in the Dark is a rollercoaster ride through the extraordinary highs and lows of Dio's life, and takes us from his early days as a street gang leader and Doo-wop singer in '60s Vegas through to his breakout success with Rainbow and Black Sabbath in the '70s and the stadiums of US metal in the '80s - ending in Dio's dressing room at Madison Square Garden, in June 1986, at the peak of his worldwide fame with Dio. Tragically Dio passed away from cancer in 2010, but had already begun writing a memoir before his death. Edited by the world-renowned music biographer Mick Wall, with the involvement of Dio's wife of over 35 years and personal manager Wendy Dio, Rainbow in the Dark will honour and feature Dio's never-before-seen original manuscript, while drawing on the extraordinary collection of print and audio interviews with the man himself to produce a vivid, raw and faithful portrait of one of the world's greatest ever rock legends.

The Lonesome Trail and Other Stories gathers B. M. Bower's briskly plotted Western tales of riders, ranches, flirtations, misunderstandings, and tests of nerve on the open range. Rather than treating the frontier as mere spectacle, Bower gives it social texture: bunkhouse talk, practical labor, codes of loyalty, and the uneasy comedy of people shaped by isolation. Her prose is plain, swift, and observant, belonging to the popular magazine tradition of early twentieth-century Western fiction while quietly revising its masculine conventions through wit and emotional intelligence. B. M. Bower was the pen name of Bertha Muzzy Sinclair, one of the first women to build a major career in Westerns. Having lived in Montana and known ranching country intimately, she wrote not as a distant mythmaker but as an attentive witness to its weather, work, speech, and loneliness. That experience helps explain the book's persuasive mixture of romance, realism, and affectionate satire. This collection is recommended to readers seeking classic Western fiction with more nuance than gunplay. It offers adventure, humor, and feeling, but also a historically valuable view of frontier life filtered through a sharp, unconventional literary eye.

'The soundtrack of [Harrison's] spiritual journey begins with the explosions of battle and ends, fifty-eight years later with the harmonies of eternal peace. And like all good stories, this one starts when the hero was just a child.' In Here Comes the Sun Joshua Greene sheds new light on the most mysterious of the Beatles, George Harrison, and provides a unique portrait of the man through his music and his spiritual quest. As Greene looks back at Harrison's early life and the years he spent growing up in an impoverished, post-war Liverpool, he follows the path taken by the quietly rebellious teenage, the experiences and friendships that helped to shape his destiny and, of course, explores Harrison's rollercoaster ride to fame as a member of the legendary Beatles. He also draws on scores of previously unpublished transcripts of recorded conversations, first-hand accounts and fresh anecdotes about Harrison and other musical greats such as Dylan and Presley. Poignant, insightful, and written with an immediacy that captures the very essence of the 'quiet one', Here Comes the Sun gives us an unprecedented close-up of Harrison's often underrated contribution to the Beatles' legacy, and his spiritual awakening through Indian music, mysticism and meditation.

The Aztec, Inca and Maya Empires charts the rise and fall pre-Columbian civilizations in Mesoamerica and South America, from the Maya to the Aztec and Inca empires, as well as the Zapotec, Olmec, Teotihuacan and Toltec civilizations. From government structures to marriage rites, from pyramids to human sacrifice, from agriculture to textiles, astronomy to hieroglyphics to ball games, the book explores the history of what today we call Latin America from its early kingdoms up to the crippling of the societies with the arrival of conquistadores and smallpox. The biggest Mesoamerican cities, such as Teotihuacan, Tenochtitlan and Cholula, were among the largest in the world. Mesoamerican civilisations are credited with many inventions: building pyramid-temples, mathematics, astronomy, medicine, writing, highly accurate calendars, fine arts, intensive agriculture, engineering, an abacus calculator, and complex theology. In South America, the Inca Empire, the largest empire in pre-Columbian America, was, at its height, possibly the largest in the world. And yet it achieved this without wheeled vehicles, animals to ride or draft animals, without using iron or steel, or developing a written script. The Aztec, Inca and Maya Empires is a fascinating account of Mesoamerican and South American civilisations from the 2nd century BCE to the 16th century CE.

Bursting out of industrial Birmingham in the late 1970s and hitching a ride on the Two-Tone bandwagon for their first single, The English Beat answered the question of whether punk and reggae should mix better than anyone else. Their stunning first album in 1980 was an immediate success in their home country and even as they charted an unexpected course through the early years of the new decade, they retained a loyal following of roots, radicals and rockers. They additionally began to build a reputation in the USA through hard work on the road, but, in 1983, the pressure of maintaining a career strung across the Atlantic tore the group apart. The two front men Dave Wakeling and Ranking Roger, formed the slick and initially successful General Public, but they were completely eclipsed by Fine Young Cannibals, the soul-pop outfit created by guitarist Andy Cox and bassist Andy Steele and whose second album sold millions worldwide.This book covers the tumultuous period 1979-89 when this trio of groups poured forth a torrent of brilliant music and covers every album and every track, scooping up along the way the hits that never were, experimental B-sides, remixes and guest appearances. It is a truly idiosyncratic creative flare path lighting up a strange but exciting decade.

Dinner with David Bowie, kissing with Jackie Wilson, close encounters with Iggy Pop, Rod Stewart and Ron Wood. Not even 20, still less a rock goddess, but Chrissie Hynde wasn’t hanging around. The talented, charismatic writer-singer escaped Ohio for Britain in 1973, hoping to form a rock’n’roll band. She befriended journalist Nick Kent, designer Vivienne Westwood, hustler Malcolm McLaren and famous musicians from Nick Lowe to Lemmy. She wrote for The NME and narrowly avoided becoming Mrs. Sid Vicious. Meeting Pete Farndon, James Honeyman-Scott and Martin Chambers, Chrissie finally realised her dream: The Pretenders, one of the world’s most exciting, enduring and best-loved rock groups. The Pretenders proved revelatory, lashing hard rock to the sexy, sassy swagger of streetwise punk and catchy, chart-busting pop. ‘Brass In Pocket’ was a worldwide hit. America took to its heart the ex-pat from the Heartlands, as Chrissie became an international star and a reluctant flagbearer for rock’s sisterhood. Weathering tragic loss, The Pretenders have continued to make great music. Combining dry wit with diligent research and a deep knowledge of rock music, Richard Butterworth appraises The Pretenders’ turbulent, vital early years: from Chrissie’s arrival in Britain, through the band’s 1978 birth to 1990 and their fifth album. Enjoy the ride.

When family caregiving starts running on appointments, deadlines, rides, reminders, and "they said they'll call," a calendar is no longer just a convenience. It becomes part of the care system. The Family Care Calendar is a practical guide for adult children and families who need one dependable way to coordinate time-sensitive work around an aging parent - without turning the parent's whole life into a shared schedule. Built as the time layer of the Family Care Operating System, this book shows you how to: Decide what belongs on the shared family calendar and what should stay private or in another system Create one current source of truth for shared dates, deadlines, recurring work, and follow-up points Build complete appointment events with transportation, preparation, ownership, and next-step follow-up Work backward from deadlines to create useful lead time before the last possible day Coordinate rides, departure times, return plans, and backup without oversharing private information Design reminders that reach the right person while there is still time to act Give waiting follow-ups an "if we have not heard by" return date so open loops do not disappear Make event ownership, calendar maintenance, and backup visible when responsibilities change Run a short weekly review and build a dependable system gradually over 30 days Also included: 12 printable tools for calendar coordination, inclusion rules, source-of-truth setup, appointments, recurring responsibilities, lead time, transportation, reminders, waiting follow-ups, ownership and backup, weekly review, and a 30-day setup plan. This is an organizational guide, not a medical log, legal handbook, financial guide, or surveillance record. It helps families coordinate time-sensitive support while keeping the older adult's preferences, responsibilities, privacy, and autonomy visible. The goal is not the biggest calendar. It is the smallest dependable time system that helps the family see important work early enough to act.

Dinner with David Bowie, kissing with Jackie Wilson, close encounters with Iggy Pop, Rod Stewart and Ron Wood. Not even 20, still less a rock goddess, but Chrissie Hynde wasn’t hanging around. The talented, charismatic writer-singer escaped Ohio for Britain in 1973, hoping to form a rock’n’roll band. She befriended journalist Nick Kent, designer Vivienne Westwood, hustler Malcolm McLaren and famous musicians from Nick Lowe to Lemmy. She wrote for The NME and narrowly avoided becoming Mrs. Sid Vicious. Meeting Pete Farndon, James Honeyman-Scott and Martin Chambers, Chrissie finally realised her dream: The Pretenders, one of the world’s most exciting, enduring and best-loved rock groups. The Pretenders proved revelatory, lashing hard rock to the sexy, sassy swagger of streetwise punk and catchy, chart-busting pop. ‘Brass In Pocket’ was a worldwide hit. America took to its heart the ex-pat from the Heartlands, as Chrissie became an international star and a reluctant flagbearer for rock’s sisterhood. Weathering tragic loss, The Pretenders have continued to make great music. Combining dry wit with diligent research and a deep knowledge of rock music, Richard Butterworth appraises The Pretenders’ turbulent, vital early years: from Chrissie’s arrival in Britain, through the band’s 1978 birth to 1990 and their fifth album. Enjoy the ride.

Bursting out of industrial Birmingham in the late 1970s and hitching a ride on the Two-Tone bandwagon for their first single, The English Beat answered the question of whether punk and reggae should mix better than anyone else. Their stunning first album in 1980 was an immediate success in their home country and even as they charted an unexpected course through the early years of the new decade, they retained a loyal following of roots, radicals and rockers. They additionally began to build a reputation in the USA through hard work on the road, but, in 1983, the pressure of maintaining a career strung across the Atlantic tore the group apart. The two front men Dave Wakeling and Ranking Roger, formed the slick and initially successful General Public, but they were completely eclipsed by Fine Young Cannibals, the soul-pop outfit created by guitarist Andy Cox and bassist Andy Steele and whose second album sold millions worldwide.This book covers the tumultuous period 1979-89 when this trio of groups poured forth a torrent of brilliant music and covers every album and every track, scooping up along the way the hits that never were, experimental B-sides, remixes and guest appearances. It is a truly idiosyncratic creative flare path lighting up a strange but exciting decade.
