"Will keep readers on the edge of their seats."-Publishers Weekly (starred review)Who is THE NOWHERE MAN? He is spoken about only in whispers. He comes to those in greatest need of his protection. There is no enemy he cannot fight. He lives by his own code. He takes no prisoners. His name is Evan Smoak. Taken from a group home when he was young, Evan was raised and trained as an Orphan, an off-the-books black box program designed to create the perfect deniable intelligence asset: An assassin. Evan was Orphan X-until he used everything he'd learned to disappear and reinvent himself as the Nowhere Man. But now, his new life has been interrupted by a surprise attack from an unlikely source. Captured, drugged, and spirited off to a remote location, Evan finds himself heavily guarded from everything he knows. His captors think they have him trapped and helpless in a virtual cage, but they do not know that they're dealing with one of the deadliest, most resourceful men on earth. "Superb on all levels and a must-read for all thriller fans."-Providence Journal"A masterpiece of suspense and thrills."-Associated Press on Orphan X

"The perfect housekeeping guide for somebody who is overwhelmed with their mess and can't figure out how to start." -Lifehacker"An accessible guide on how to clean for normal people." -Livestrong"It actually changed my life and my home; I'm serious." -Book RiotFinally, a housekeeping and organizational system developed for those of us who'd describe our current living situation as a "f*cking mess" that we're desperate to fix. Unf*ck Your Habitat is for anyone who has been left behind by traditional aspirational systems. The ones that ignore single people with full-time jobs; people without kids but living with roommates; and people with mental illnesses or physical limitations. Most organizational books are aimed at traditional homemakers, DIYers, and people who seem to have unimaginable amounts of free time. They assume we all iron our sheets, have linen napkins to match our table runners, and can keep plants alive for longer than a week. Basically, they ignore most of us living here in the real world!Interspersed with lists and challenges, this practical, no-nonsense advice relies on a 20/10 system (20 minutes of cleaning followed by a 10-minute break; no marathon cleaning allowed) to help you develop lifelong habits. It motivates you to embrace a new lifestyle in manageable sections so you can actually start applying the tactics as you progress. For everyone stuck between The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up and Adulting, this philosophy is more realistic than aspirational, but the goal is the same: not everyone will have a showcase of a home, but whatever your habitat, you deserve for it to bring you happiness, not stress.

WINNER OF THE 2019 NATIONAL BOOK AWARD1919 was a world-shaking year. America was recovering from World War I and black soldiers returned to racism so violent that that summer would become known as the Red Summer. The suffrage movement had a long-fought win when women gained the right to vote. Laborers took to the streets to protest working conditions; nationalistic fervor led to a communism scare; and temperance gained such traction that prohibition went into effect. Each of these movements reached a tipping point that year. Now, one hundred years later, these same social issues are more relevant than ever. Sandler traces the momentum and setbacks of these movements through this last century, showing that progress isn't always a straight line and offering a unique lens through which we can understand history and the change many still seek.

In Larry King's Powerful Prayers: Conversations on Faith, Hope, and the Human Spirit with Today's Most Provocative People, the Emmy Award-winning king of the interview asks some of the world's most prominent, glamorous, and intriguing figures to answer the most profound questions of our times--questions that deal with the resurgence of faith and spirituality. Recent surveys indicating fifty percent of all Americans are now praying at least once a day, and nine out of ten people in the nation's largest and most unconventional city, New York, believe in God. The current public attraction toward religion-oriented books, radio and television programs further reflects this renewed interest in spirituality. Through his unique relationships with celebrities and political leaders, King explores the intimate prayers of such famous personalities as President Jimmy Carter, President Gerald Ford, Shimon Peres, Barbara Bush, Noah Wylie, Muhammad Ali, Steve Young, Kareem Abdul Jabbar, Tommy Lasorda, Lou Holtz, Scott Hamilton, Alexander Haig, Senator John McCain, Reverend Jerry Falwell, Reverend Cecil Murray, Alan Dershowitz, Marianne Williamson, Pete Seeger, Willie Nelson, Jack Kevorkian, Anthony Robbins, Dr. Laura Schlesinger, Dr. John Gray, and many others.Powerful Prayers examines the lives that have been suddenly and permanently altered through prayer, and lives that are sustained by its everyday practice. It reveals the prayers of world leaders prior to crucial decisions, businessmen before closing a big deal, players and coaches before the big game, and generals during battle, then questions if praying to win is the same as praying for someone else to lose. It explores prayers of thanks and prayers for things, and asks if offering something in return for answered prayers is simply bargaining with God.Powerful Prayers is fascinating, informative, insightful, and inspirational. It is a perfect blend of the secular and the spiritual--a bestseller with heart.
