A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER New York Times 100 Notable Books of 2019New York Public Library Best Books of 2019Kirkus Reviews Best Health and Science Books of 2019Science Friday Best Books of 2019New postscript by the authorFrom an award-winning journalist, an explosive narrative investigation of the generic drug boom that reveals fraud and life-threatening dangers on a global scaleThe Junglefor pharmaceuticalsMany have hailed the widespread use of generic drugs as one of the most important public-health developments of the twenty-first century. Today, almost 90 percent of our pharmaceutical market is comprised of generics, the majority of which are manufactured overseas. We have been reassured by our doctors, our pharmacists and our regulators that generic drugs are identical to their brand-name counterparts, just less expensive. But is this really true?Katherine Ebans Bottle of Lies exposes the deceit behind generic-drug manufacturingand the attendant risks for global health. Drawing on exclusive accounts from whistleblowers and regulators, as well as thousands of pages of confidential FDA documents, Eban reveals an industry where fraud is rampant, companies routinely falsify data, and executives circumvent almost every principle of safe manufacturing to minimize cost and maximize profit, confident in their ability to fool inspectors. Meanwhile, patients unwittingly consume medicine with unpredictable and dangerous effects.The story of generic drugs is truly global. It connects middle America to China, India, sub-Saharan Africa and Brazil, and represents the ultimate litmus test of globalization: what are the risks of moving drug manufacturing offshore, and are they worth the savings? A decade-long investigation with international sweep, high-stakes brinkmanship and big money at its core, Bottle of Lies reveals how the worlds greatest public-health innovation has become one of its most astonishing swindles.

Nearly everyone is familiar with holograms?three-dimensional images projected into space with the aid of a laser. Two of the world's most eminent thinkers believe that the universe itself may be a giant hologram, quite literally a kind of image or construct created, at least in part, by the human mind. University of London physicist David Bohm, a protégé of Einstein and one of the world's most respected quantum physicists, and Stanford neurophysiologist Karl Pribram, an architect of our modern understanding of the brain, have developed a remarkable new way of looking at the universe. Their theory explains not only many of the unsolved puzzles of physics but also such mysterious occurrences as telepathy, out-of-body and near-death experiences, "lucid" dreams, and even religious and mystical experiences such as feelings of cosmic unity and miraculous healings. Now featuring a foreword by Lynne McTaggart, Michael Talbot's The Holographic Universe is a landmark work whose exciting conclusions continue to be proven true by today's most advanced physics, cosmology, and string theory.

"Fascinating . . . A thought-provoking journey into emotion science." -- Wall Street Journal"A singular book, remarkable for the freshness of its ideas and the boldness and clarity with which they are presented." -- Scientific American"A brilliant and original book on the science of emotion, by the deepest thinker about this topic since Darwin." -- Daniel Gilbert, best-selling author of Stumbling on HappinessThe science of emotion is in the midst of a revolution on par with the discovery of relativity in physics and natural selection in biology. Leading the charge is psychologist and neuroscientist Lisa Feldman Barrett, whose research overturns the long-standing belief that emotions are automatic, universal, and hardwired in different brain regions. Instead, Barrett shows, we construct each instance of emotion through a unique interplay of brain, body, and culture. A lucid report from the cutting edge of emotion science, How Emotions Are Made reveals the profound real-world consequences of this breakthrough for everything from neuroscience and medicine to the legal system and even national security, laying bare the immense implications of our latest and most intimate scientific revolution."Mind-blowing." -- Elle"Chock-full of startling, science-backed findings . . . An entertaining and engaging read. " -- Forbes

Love isn't the answer to our problems, Hussey explains. It's a doorway to them; not a way out, but a way in. Like most of us, Hussey has gone through major changes over the past decade, and he shares some of those experiences, vulnerabilities, and mistakes.What happens when we date, fall in love, or when we are faced with loneliness? What decisions do we make that cause us more pain and send us further adrift from what we want? Who hasn't shied away from taking risks because they feared rejection? Who hasn't put up with the wrong behavior because they're afraid of losing someone or of expressing what they really need? Who hasn't lived with the fear and anxiety of not being good enough for their partner? Or knowing their partner isn't good for them, but stay in a bad relationship that is ultimately self-harming? In Love Life Hussey addresses these questions and more.Our love lives hold the uncanny power to elevate or eradicate all the adjacent joy in our lives. The deeper purpose of Love Life is to ensure your love for your life will never be dependent on your relationship status. It's about finding your love for life even while still on the journey to finding your person.

When magic runs out, four estranged royal siblings must find a new source before their country is swallowed by invading forces. The first in an Indian-inspired duology that's perfect for fans of There Will Come a Darkness, The Gilded Wolves, and We Hunt the Flame. Vira, Ronak, Kaleb, and Riya may be siblings, but they've never been close or even liked each other that much. Torn apart by the different paths their lives have taken, only one thing can bring them back together: the search for the Ivory Key, a thing of legend that will lead the way to a new source of magic. Magic is Ashoka's biggest export and the only thing standing between them and war with the neighboring kingdoms-as long as their enemies don't find out that the magic mines are nearly depleted. The siblings all have something to gain from finding the Ivory Key, and even more to lose if they don't. For Vira, the Ivory Key is the only way to live up to the legacy of her mother, the beloved former maharani. Ronak plans to get out of his impending political marriage by selling the Ivory Key to the highest bidder. Kaleb has been falsely accused of assassinating the former maharani, and this is the only way to clear his name. And Riya needs to prove her loyalty to the Ravens, the group of rebels that wants to take control away from the maharani and give it to the people. With each sibling harboring secrets and conflicting agendas, figuring out a way to work together may be the most difficult task of all. And in a quest this dangerous, working together is the only way to survive.

Forskere har måske løst et af Anden Verdenskrigs store mysterier. Historiker og journalist Rosemary Sullivan følger et hold af efterforskere, ledet af en besat, pensioneret FBI-agent ved navn Vincent Pankoke, da de genoptager en af verdens mest skammeligt uopklarede sager: Hvem afslørede Anne Frank og hendes familie i Amsterdam i 1944? Og hvorfor? Mere end 30 millioner mennesker har læst historien om Anne Frank, den 13-årige pige, der skjulte sig sammen med sin familie i Amsterdam under 2. verdenskrig, blot for at blive opdaget af nazisterne og sendt i døden i en koncentrationslejr. Trods den megen journalistik og de bøger, teaterstykker og romaner, der er viet til emnet, så er der aldrig nogen, der endegyldigt har forklaret, hvordan familien Frank og fire andre personer formåede at leve i skjul uden at blive opdaget i over to år – eller hvem eller hvad der endeligt førte nazisterne til deres dør. Et hold efterforskere har med usvigelig omhu stirret ned i titusindvis siders dokumentation – hvoraf nogle aldrig tidligere har været fremvist – og interviewet snesevis af efterkommere fra folk, der – på den ene eller anden måde – var i forbindelse med familien Frank. Ved hjælp af nyudviklet DNA-teknologi og efterforskningsteknikker, der er udviklet af FBI, har teamet for uopklarede sager genskabt de dage og uger, der gik forud for arrestationen af familien Frank – og konklusionen er chokerende. Trods al den analyse, bogen indeholder, så er dens store bedrift, at den tager læseren med på en rejse tilbage til krigstidens Amsterdam, hvor vi for første gang får en forståelse af, hvordan det var at leve et sted, der var besat; et sted hvor du – uanset hvor rig, veluddannet eller forsigtig, du var – aldrig kunne vide, hvem du kunne stole på.
