"Brent Cummings, an Iraq war veteran, has come home feeling he survived one war only to find himself in the midst of another one. The country he loves and defended for twenty-eight years seems to be unraveling in front of his eyes. Raised to believe in a vision of America that values fairness, honesty, and respect for others, Cummings is increasingly engulfed by the fear and anger sweeping through his beloved country as he tries to hold onto hope about America's future. David Finkel, known for his unique, in-depth reporting, spent fifteen years immersed in Brent Cummings's world to create this intimate, acutely observed, and beautifully written portrait of a man's life, community, thoughts and feelings as America becomes ever more divided. Cummings was one of the unforgettable figures in Finkel's The Good Soldiers, a book about which The New York Times stated, "Finkel has made art out of a defining moment in history. You will be able to take this book down from the shelf years from now and say, 'This is what happened. This is what it felt like."--

"A large-hearted reimagining of beloved all-American legends, this ... debut novel brings men of myth Paul Bunyan and John Henry alive like never before, teaming up for an adventure quest with deeper interrogations of race, class, and industrialization. When we first meet Paul Bunyan--legendary larger-than-life lumberjack and classic figure from American mythology--he is still just a man, and one down on his luck. With a load of family debts on his broad back, Bunyan is eking out a miserable miner's life in the bleak hamlet of Lump Town, a perpetually grey walled city controlled by famed industrialist El Boffo (author of the bestselling book Awaken the Capitalist Within!). When Bunyan's beloved wife Lucette falls gravely ill with a disease caused by the mysterious mineral Lump, he sets off on a quest to save her, aided only by a mythical creature known as the Chilali, who commands that Bunyan follow the Twisty Path to meet his destiny. That path leads to The Windy City--and to John Henry. Like Bunyan, Henry is not yet the 'steel-driving' hammer man who raced the steam drill and won. Instead, we find him on the run from the chain gang in which he was falsely imprisoned. In order to escape to freedom with his genius wife Polly and brilliant young son, Henry and Bunyan are going to have to work together. As an unlikely team, these massive mythic men must solve riddles, forge weapons, plumb labyrinths, brawl with behemoths, and do battle with the bombastic El Boffo, on a journey that will not only make them into the men they are meant to be, but reshape the landscape of their country forever"--

A self-love deck with powerful affirmations to transform the way you see yourself and the world around you—cards for daily motivation, inspiration, and reflective healing.Self-Love Affirmations & Reflections is a portable deck that can be incorporated into a daily ritual or called upon for stress reduction, solace, or connection. Cards present an opportunity to sit meaningfully with yourself, one small step at a time. Scientific research reveals that positive affirmations can rewire the neural networks in our brains. When paired with an ethos of self-love, these affirmations become a tool for perspective change and hardwired transformation. In other words, when we commit to embodying self-love through affirmations, we see it ripple through every area of our lives. Unlike a book, the goal with a deck is not to “finish” it. The value is returning to it again and again, allowing yourself small increments of time to foster deeper self-compassion.        52 cards with empowering affirmations to encourage positive self-talk and establish a ritual of sitting compassionately with yourself.        Intentional reflections come with each affirmation to take you deeper into the inquiry of the self—your deepest truths and desires.        A portable reminder to carry with you as you carve out time for yourself.       A supportive gift for friends, loved ones, and your community—perhaps someone who needs a reminder of their greatness.  The Self-Love Affirmations & Reflections deck is a way to celebrate yourself in a new light and pursue the life you want (and deserve).

"For centuries, people who died destitute or alone were buried in potters' fields--a Dickensian end that even the most hard-pressed families tried to avoid. Today, more and more relatives are abandoning their dead, leaving it to local governments to dispose of the bodies. Up to 150,000 Americans now go unclaimed each year. Who are they? Why are they being forgotten? ... In this ... work of narrative nonfiction, eight years in the making, sociologists Pamela Prickett and Stefan Timmermans uncover a hidden social world. They follow four individuals in Los Angeles, tracing the twisting, poignant paths that put each at risk of going unclaimed, and introducing us to the scene investigators, notification officers, and crematorium workers who care for them when no one else will"--
