How Soccer Explains the World

An Unlikely Theory of Globalization

Trust Your Instincts, Outsmart Danger, and Stay Safe in a World That Isn't

Street Smarts

One of the most distinctive and funny politicians, Senator John Kennedy (the one from Louisiana)—hailed by Politico as “America’s most quotable Senator”—offers his perceptive (and hilarious) takes on the ridiculousness of political life in this scathingly witty takedown of Washington and its elite denizens.How to Test Negative for Stupid is the Louisianan’s tongue-in-check observations of political life in America’s capital, punctuated by his thoughts on various issues and humorous stories about life in Louisiana politics and inside the Senate.The Oxford-educated, good-ole-boy-tongued Senator is folksy, and commonsensical, known for witticisms such as:<ul><li>“I believe that our country was founded by geniuses, but it’s being run by idiots.”</li><li>“Always follow your heart . . . but take your brains with you.”</li><li>“The people the President put in charge are not qualified to manage a food truck.”</li><li>“Common sense is illegal in Washington DC. I know. I’ve seen it first-hand.”</li><li>“I believe that we are going to have to get some new conspiracy theories. All the old ones turned out to be true.”</li><li>“Facebook is a great company, but it's no longer a company; it's a country. That's how powerful it is. And its behavior lately has kind of been getting into the foothills of creepy.”</li><li>&nbsp;And one of his most celebrated: “If you don’t know what a border is . . . you’ve tested positive for stupid.”</li></ul>Fans will find all this and more inside this charming send up of all of Washington’s do-nothing, performative silliness.

From true-crime legend T. J. English, the epic, behind-the-scenes saga of "Los Muchachos," one of the most successful cocaine trafficking organizations in American history-a story of glitz, glamour, and organized crime set against 1980's Miami. Despite what Scarface might lead one to believe, violence was not the dominant characteristic of the cocaine business. It was corruption: the dirty cops, agents, lawyers, judges, and politicians who made the drug world go round. And no one managed that carousel of dangerous players better than Willy Falcon. A Cuban exile whose family escaped Fidel Castro's Cuba when he was eleven years old, Falcon, as a teenager, became active in the anti-Castro movement. He began smuggling cocaine into the U.S. as a way to raise money to buy arms for the Contras in Central America. This counter-revolutionary activity led directly to Willy's genesis as a narco. He and his partners built an extraordinary international organization from the ground up. Los Muchachos, the syndicate founded by Falcon, thrived as a major cocaine distribution network in the U.S. from the late 1970's into the early 1990's. At their height, Los Muchachos made more than a hundred million dollars a year. At the same time, Willy, his brother Tavy Falcon, and partner Sal Magluta became famous as championship powerboat racers. Cocaine, used by everyone from A-list celebrities to lawyers and people in law enforcement, came to define an era, and for a time, Willy Falcon and those like him-major suppliers, of whom there were only a few-became stars in their own right. They were the deliverers of good times, at least until the downside of persistent cocaine use became apparent: delusions of grandeur, psychological addiction, financial ruin. Thus, the War on Drugs was born, and federal authorities came after Falcon and his crew with a vengeance. Willy found himself on the run, his marriage and family life in shambles, the halcyon days of boat races and lavish trips to Vegas and parties at the Mutiny night club seemingly a distant memory. T. J. English has been granted unprecedented access to the inner workings of Los Muchachos, sitting down with Willy Falcon and his associates for many lengthy interviews, and revealing never-before-understood details about drug trafficking. A classic of true-crime writing from a master of the genre,&nbsp;The Last Kilo&nbsp;traces the rise and fall of a true cocaine empire-and the lives left in its wake.

The Last Kilo

#1 New York Times BestsellerSenator Tom Cotton offers an unflinching look at the deadly threat of Communist China and reveals the truth about America’s most dangerous enemy. ““As a member of the Senate Intelligence Committee, I’m often asked if the threat from China is as bad as it seems. My answer is no—it’s worse than you can imagine.”&nbsp;Seven Things You Can’t Say About China is Tom Cotton’s provocative exposé about the gravest threat to American freedom. The media, Hollywood, academia, Wall Street, and most politicians can’t—or won’t—speak the truth about China. But Senator Cotton will, because America needs to know.&nbsp;In this hard-hitting book, he reveals what others refuse to say, including:<ul><li>The inside story—drawn from his intelligence and national-security experience and knowledge—on how deeply the Chinese Communist Party has infiltrated America.</li><li>How China persecutes Christians and commits genocide against religious and ethnic minorities.</li><li>The alarming rise of China’s armed forces and nuclear arsenal, which will soon rival our own.</li><li>The danger our children face from China’s influence on Hollywood, the NBA, TikTok, and so much more.</li><li>How China lied, stole, and cheated its way to wealth while devastating America’s workers and businesses.</li></ul>&nbsp;Seven Things You Can’t Say About China sounds the alarm about Communist China’s carefully crafted plans to defeat America in the coming decade—and what we must do to fight back.

Seven Things You Can't Say About China

“One of the finest wordsmiths in modern sport . . . with infectious passion and singular craft [Smith] has created a truly fabulous and unique piece of work. On the Grid is incredibly special. I loved every thoughtfully written word.” —Will Buxton, award-winning broadcaster, star of Drive to Survive and New York Times bestselling author of Grand Prix: An Illustrated History of Formula 1“Even if you think you know everything there is to know about Formula 1, you'll learn something within these pages.” —GP Racing MagazineLearn how Formula One is the world’s greatest team sport with this intimate and colorful insider’s account of what really happens on—and off—the race track, from The Athletic’s senior F1 writer who has been following the sport around the world for over a decade.Formula One has only 20 drivers in its elite ranks, but behind each one is an army of professionals devoted to the sport: statisticians and strategists, engineers and mechanics, PR gurus and party planners, and more—all who spend months traveling thousands of miles across the globe each year. Their achievements (and failures) may not be as well-publicized as those of the drivers and team principals, but they’re just as important: one fifty-cent screw in the wrong place could cause a $15 million car to break down mid-race.In On the Grid, F1 journalist Luke Smith brings to life the behind-the-scenes stories that don’t make it to viewers’ screens. From the Bahrain starting grid—thick with sweat and engine fumes—to opulent yacht parties in Monaco, with a stopover at a legendary bakery in Melbourne whose croissants exist only because of F1 technology, he showcases the extraordinary characters who give the sport such color and intrigue. With deep insight, knowledge, and warmth, he writes about the emotions and struggles that come with working in such a high-pressure and inherently dangerous sport, and the efforts being made to improve its class and racial diversity, gender parity, and environmental impact. The result is a richer, broader, and more inclusive look at F1 than ever before—perfect for longtime fans and Drive to Survive neophytes alike.

With humor and candor, Die Hot With a Vengeance shows why beauty should be a tool of self-expression, not self-hate. - TIME*ONE OF BUSTLE'S MOST ANTICIPATED SUMMER READS*Journalist and formerAllureeditor Sable Yong debuts with a sharp-toothed and hilarious essay collection about beauty and vanity, examining their stigmatization in the cultural zeitgeist, and how to shift the focus to use both for powerful tools for self-exploration, interpersonal connection, and cultural change.The beauty industry has a single mandate: be hot.In the same week that you might be encouraged to try curtain bangs, contouring, bleached eyebrows, laser facials, buccal fat removal, fillers, and non-invasive facelifts, youre simultaneously absorbing mantras about self-care, body positivity, empowerment, and loving yourself just as you are.Overwhelmed yet?Fear not.Die Hot with a Vengeancedelves into the machinations of this multi-billion-dollar industry, offering readers an expert analysis of its inner workings with the precision of a scalpel and the humor of a stand-up comedian. Along the way, Yongsets off to answer some of the biggest questions of our time:<ul><li>How do you break through the noise of beauty and wellness cultures endless optimization protocols?</li><li>How can you find actual authenticity in a world of performative artifice?</li><li>Can the antidote to aging be found in a jar, tube, or at the end of a syringe?</li><li>Do blondes really have more fun?</li></ul>Using Yongs many years of experience as a beauty editor to unlock the industrys myriad secrets,Die Hot with a Vengeancegives beauty and vanity a neutralizing make-over. At its best, beauty is so much more than an aesthetic; its an inspirational mindset. Its a playfulness inherent to the practice of self-expression.And yet its difficult to engage playfully when it feels like beauty is an ever-moving target. Were all subject to societal expectations surrounding beauty and vanity, enough so that breaking through the capitalist pressures can feel impossible. Yong argues that while the mandate may be for us to be hot, the beauty industry thrives on us absorbing its teachings so it can keep us in a constant feedback loop of appearance-based anxiety, forever perpetuating unattainable standards. Flipping that imperative, Yongs debut collection poses the most important question of all: How do you discover your value of beauty so you can free yourself from the loud and bullshitty noise of all these entities telling you that youre not good enough?Digging deep into our most pervasive and questionable beauty trends and conventions,Die Hot with a Vengeanceoffers an incisive yet wry dissection of one of our most enduring cultural addictions. Irreverent, side-splittingly funny, and astute, the bookis as amusing as it is insightful, an instant classic for beauty-readers and aspirant hotties alike.

"A surprising and ambitious investigation of language and the varied ways women resist the paradoxes of patriarchy both on and off the page."—New York TimesCombining the soul-baring confessional of Brain on Fire and the addictive storytelling of The Queen’s Gambit, a renowned puzzle creator’s compulsively readable memoir and history of the crossword puzzle as an unexpected site of women’s work and feminist protest.The indisputable “queen of crosswords,” Anna Shechtman published her first New York Times puzzle at age nineteen, and later, helped to spearhead the The New Yorker’s popular crossword section. Working with a medium often criticized as exclusionary, elitist, and out-of-touch, Anna is one of very few women in the field of puzzle making, where she strives to make the everyday diversion more diverse.In this fascinating work—part memoir, part cultural analysis—she excavates the hidden history of the crossword and the overlooked women who have been central to its creation and evolution, from the “Crossword Craze” of the 1920s to the role of digital technology today. As she tells the story of her own experience in the CrossWorld, she analyzes the roles assigned to women in American culture, the boxes they’ve been allowed to fill, and the ways that they’ve used puzzles to negotiate the constraints and play of desire under patriarchy.The result is an unforgettable and engrossing work of art, a loving and revealing homage to one of our most treasured, entertaining, and ultimately political pastimes.

NATIONAL BESTSELLER“Angela Garbes has given us the definitive explanation for something we all share: the sense that something is not right about our society’s treatment of parenting. Essential Labor is a beautifully written, painstakingly researched, and courageously personal book. Garbes reveals the way systems exploit caregiving and shows us how the essential work of mothering can fix not just family life, but society. A timely and unforgettable book.”—Heather McGhee, New York Times bestselling author of The Sum of UsFrom the acclaimed author of&nbsp;Like a Mother&nbsp;comes a reflection on the state of caregiving in America, and an exploration of mothering as a means of social change.The Covid-19 pandemic shed fresh light on a long-overlooked truth: mothering is among the only essential work humans do. In response to the increasing weight placed on mothers and caregivers—and the lack of a social safety net to support them—writer Angela&nbsp;Garbes found herself pondering a vital&nbsp;question: How, under our current circumstances that&nbsp;leave&nbsp;us lonely, exhausted, and financially strained, might we demand more from American family life?&nbsp;In&nbsp;Essential Labor,&nbsp;Garbes explores assumptions about care, work, and deservedness, offering a deeply personal and rigorously reported look at what mothering is, and can be. A first-generation Filipino-American, Garbes shares the perspective of her family's complicated relationship to care work, placing&nbsp;mothering in a global context—the invisible economic engine that has been historically demanded of women of color.&nbsp;Garbes contends that while the labor of raising children is devalued in America, the act of mothering offers the radical potential to create a more equitable society.&nbsp;In&nbsp;Essential Labor,&nbsp;Garbes reframes the physically and mentally draining work of meeting&nbsp;a child's bodily and emotional needs&nbsp;as opportunities to find meaning, to nurture a deeper&nbsp;sense of self, pleasure, and belonging. This is highly skilled labor, work that impacts society at its most foundational level.Part galvanizing manifesto, part poignant narrative, Essential Labor is a beautifully rendered reflection on care that reminds us of the irrefutable power and beauty of mothering.
