5 proven life strategies to win in relationships

A provocative, fast-paced novel about two creative women—a young writer fighting to be heard and an older producer clinging to relevancy—and the age reversal treatment that intertwines both of their lives…from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of the beloved Front Desk series Maggie Wang, a broke young Asian American writer, needs a lifeline. Ingrid Parker, a veteran white Hollywood producer with her career on the edge, offers an irresistible deal: $3 million for ten experimental medical sessions to reverse her aging, using Maggie as a transfusion partner, and mentorship. For Ingrid, it's a chance to reboot her fading career. For Maggie, it's access and freedom—money to support her parents and the connections to finally get her novel published. What starts as a professional transaction exchanging blood quickly becomes a complex psychological dance. As Maggie gains unprecedented access to Ingrid's hard-earned wisdom, Ingrid sees in Maggie a weapon against an industry that's been trying to sideline her. As their relationship intensifies, they're forced to confront the harsh realities of race, age, and success. Who has the power to tell stories? And what are they willing to sacrifice to succeed? Sharp, timely, and utterly compelling, The Take is perfect for readers of Yellowface and Such a Fun Age—a searing portrait of two women fighting to rewrite their story.

A Memoir About the Courage to Lead

Hope in Action

From a Nottingham alleyway to a global empire, Threads is the story of a truly unique British fashion icon. 'I always say that you can find inspiration in everything. And if you can't, look again' - Sir Paul Smith Sir Paul's journey has been anything but conventional: from leaving school at fifteen with a dream of being a professional racing cyclist to a life-altering accident that would change everything. After meeting the love of his life and immersing himself in the exciting new world of the 1960s London art and fashion scene, he would go on to build a global fashion empire that started off as a tiny shop tucked behind a dark, damp corridor in Nottingham. For the first time, and with his signature wit, Paul shares candid memories of a life in style, including what it was like to dress legends including David Bowie, Daniel Day-Lewis, Giorgio Armani and Sir Alex Ferguson; how he fought to keep his brand independent in a world of globalized homogeneity; and why, after five decades of success, you can still find him on the shopfloor every Saturday meeting his customers. Guided by his father's advice of working hard and repairing everything by hand, Threads is more than a fashion memoir. It is a masterclass in how to stay curious, stay independent and always look for the extraordinary in the everyday.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Two lifelong peace activists and guides to Israel/Palestine, both of whom have lost family in the conflict, take readers on a revealing life-changing journey across this holy, bloodstained land and discover the mythic, political, and personal history that divides but also binds them and their peoples. “[A] short but immensely poignant account of a shared journey across Israel and the West Bank . . . raw with pain and rage and yet bravely insistent on the imperative of hope.”—The New York Times “We do not see ourselves as Palestinians and Israelis, or as Jews and Arabs, but as human beings who believe in fostering a culture of dialogue, a culture of forgiveness, and a culture of peace. To those who see only division lines, we say: If you must divide us, let it be as those who believe in peace and equality and those who don’t ... yet.” Palestinian Aziz Abu Sarah and Israeli Maoz Inon forged a bond of brotherhood when the world expected them to be enemies. Both have lost family to the conflict. Both have known the bitterness of righteous anger. Yet, they chose a different path. In The Future Is Peace, Sarah and Inon take readers on a transformative weeklong journey across a sacred and bloodstained land. Facing competing narratives, they explore how compassion and unity can pull humanity back from the precipice of blind hatred. Throughout their travels, they have been constantly asked: In the face of so much loss, how can we ever find hope? Their answer is always the same. One cannot find hope. We must create it. This book is a rebuttal to a broken world and a bold challenge to the belief that more violence can ever bring security. Told with unflinching honesty, their story is proof that peace is not a naive dream, but a courageous choice—for reconciliation to heal the wounds of revenge, for partnerships to change a destiny of war, and for empathy to save us from drowning in sorrow. Pairing unapologetic candor and inspirational prose, Sarah and Inon are sending an urgent message that the people have the power to make change. Peace is inevitable. For Palestinians, for Israelis, and for the world that awaits their example, it is not just possible—it is the future.

Atelier: Ethnographic Inquiry in the Twenty-First Century

In this exquisitely crafted ethnography, Charline Kopf examines how and why railway workers in Senegal and Mali care for a suspended railway. Trains rarely run, yet men continue to sweep floors, repair wagons, and gather in stations, everyday practices that keep the railway alive as a social and political space. The railway has become an afterplace--a worksite in a post-labor context where infrastructure, no longer fully functional, still organizes memory, politics, and collective life. Generations meet here with different temporal horizons: older workers recall futures once promised through stable employment and national ambition, while younger and often precariously employed men confront futures never secured. These tensions raise urgent questions about what remains when work recedes along with the possibilities it once carried. Tracing connections and fractures across Senegal and Mali, the book offers a new lens on the afterlives of transnational infrastructure in Africa and beyond.

A “magnificent” (Science) exploration of how genetics complicates our ideas about blame, punishment, and moral responsibility, from acclaimed psychologist and author of The Genetic Lottery Kathryn Paige Harden. “Not a dry, restrained, contained scientific inquiry but a daring, complex, sometimes confounding and ultimately powerful tapestry of a book.”—The New York Times Book Review As one of the world’s leading scientists examining how our DNA shapes differences in temperament, temptation, and behavior, Kathryn Paige Harden has seen firsthand how we continue to struggle—in public and in our most private relationships—with the ancient tensions between nature and nurture, freedom and constraint, the desire to punish and the longing to forgive. In Original Sin, she weaves together insights from her own experience as a daughter, mother, wife, and scientist with cutting-edge research in genetics and psychology to grapple with some of the most important questions in modern life: How do we take responsibility for the people we become, knowing how we are shaped by both biology and experience? How should we respond when people hurt each other—or themselves? And has science made guilt obsolete? Navigating the psychological and biological terrain of addiction, antisocial behavior, and violence, Harden confronts the disorienting ways science unsettles our understanding of wrongdoing and choice. In doing so, she asks us not to absolve but to reckon differently with notions of fairness and blame. A revelatory inquiry into the uneasy space where human behavior meets inherited biology, Original Sin challenges us to imagine a more humane vision of accountability—for ourselves and for one another.

On the Genetics of Vice, the Problem of Blame, and the Future of Forgiveness

Original Sin

This book presents scientific research on how science can be adapted in the fields of reconciliation, conflict transformation, and peace studies. It moves from theory to practice by exploring how science can help develop "normal" and, ideally, "good" relationships among states, groups, organisations, and individuals. This involves responding to past, present, or potential future incidents of serious significance, such as wars, civil wars, genocides, atrocities, forced displacement, enslavement, dictatorship, oppression, colonialism, apartheid, and other human rights violations and injustices. The aim is to foster a scientific discussion that supports the development of a shared future, enabling the transformation of conflict towards reconciliation, conflict transformation, and peace. Conflict transformation. The book outlines a sequential series linked to the Academic Alliance for Reconciliation, Conflict Transformation, and Peace Studies (AARMENA). This initiative offers a promising approach to transforming violent conflict and encouraging educational, social, cultural, and economic change. This book is designed to help students and researchers in the humanities and social and behavioural sciences who already have some knowledge of research design methods and a basic understanding of areas such as information technology in communication science. It is intended for scholars and researchers interested in the theoretical framework that connects theory and practice within the adaptivity of science in various fields, extending science to transform conflict towards peace. Additionally, it aims to help those seeking to understand social structures by designing and applying case studies and practices that offer insights into the evolving phenomena in peace science. 
 
The Academic Alliance for Reconciliation in the Middle East and North Africa (AARMENA) has successfully published a series of books, including 'Reconciliation and Refugees', 'Reconciliation Heritage and Social Inclusion', and 'Reconciliation, Conflict Transformation and Peace Studies'. AARMENA, together with its members, aims to collaborate with centres around the globe, across different continents, on various aspects of research related to reconciliation and peace studies. Combining research in reconciliation, conflict transformation, and peace studies will help integrate these disciplines within the broader field. AARMENA is in cooperation with the International Books for Peace to distribute its books in 6 continents and 31 countries and was granted the INTERNATIONAL BOOKS FOR PEACE AWARD 2025.

Therefore, the book is a collaboration among professors, scholars, and practitioners in the areas of reconciliation, conflict transformation, and peace studies, representing centres from all over the world, such as Martin Leiner, Iyad Aldajani, Milan Krajnc, Lidia Bocanegra Barbecho, Marc Gopin, Diego Checa Hidalgo, Mohmmad Alshraideh, Andreas Oberprantacher, and Ayat Jebril Nashwan.

Roll the Calls¿is as ferociously powerful as the iconic figure at its centre, Ari Emanuel - the inspiration for¿Entourage's Ari Gold, and one of the most legendary powerbrokers of all time - a man who made rage and chaos into the instruments of his success.Expertly written with Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and biographer J. R. Moehringer,¿Roll the Calls¿takes us on a blistering and intimate journey into every battle Ari Emanuel has fought, with raw emotion and unrelenting profanity: a tremendous reading experience and the must-read book of the year.Ari Emanuel is one of the most influential people in the world, but he's also something of a mystery. Part of the reason is Emanuel's job description. As a Hollywood super-agent, he's paid to speak for his clients, not himself.But no more. Now, for the first time, the agent, the mogul, the iconic power broker speaks for himself, about himself, and about the game of life, often at the top of his lungs. In¿Roll the Calls,¿a fiery, furious memoir, Emanuel gives an insider's account of every major success and setback, every triumphant merger and nasty breakup, every hard-won lesson and crushing mistake.In excruciating, comical detail, he recounts the trajectory of his brilliant career, from clerking in the mailroom of CAA to striking out on his own, launching a new firm with three other agents and no money, eventually signing some of the most glittering names in show business, including Larry David, Mark Wahlberg, Martin Scorsese and Oprah Winfrey. Along the way, Emanuel was also raising four kids, coping with a failing marriage and fighting to find love again.Told in taut, telegraphic prose, with uncommon humility and ribald humour,¿Roll the Calls¿shatters the mould of stodgy CEO memoirs. It's a story about success and failure, creativity and persistence, and the priceless value of simply never giving up -a master class in blocking out the naysayers and pushing forward through every bitter defeat.
