Zusak M: Three Wild Dogs (and the truth)
/ LF

Three Wild Dogs (and the truth)

From a host of The Daily Show and stand-up comic, Michael Kosta, comes a wildly funny and insightful memoir about his unlikely journey from professional tennis player (#864 in the world) to professional comedian (there’s no ranking system in comedy but he’s probably . . . top 50?). Before Michael Kosta was performing stand-up comedy specials and hosting The Daily Show, he was a professional tennis “star,” reaching the lofty heights of the #864 ranked men’s singles player in the world. Stop laughing. That’s better than your world ranking. As a tennis pro, Kosta traveled across the globe, competing in such exotic locales as the Netherlands, Tokyo, and even rural Illinois before deciding to put down his racket and pursue a more stable and predictable career: comedy.In a completely unexpected and wild journey through the backwaters of professional tennis, Kosta shows the unlikely ways life on the court prepared him for life in front of a microphone. Like comedy, tennis is brutally competitive, and most people lose at it. Unlike comedy, no one in tennis puts a gun on the table as they count out your earnings in twenty-dollar bills at the end of the night.And then there are the things that have more to do with what happens to you—and what you end up learning—as part of growing up. Topics include: how to properly&nbsp;discard an unwanted European hard-boiled egg, giving CPR to your dead grandpa, cringe-worthy&nbsp;“sex” in the Red Light District,&nbsp;crying so hard in a car that strangers call the cops, and&nbsp;also happy things like&nbsp;what it feels like when your dreams come true.&nbsp;From misadventures in tennis to the humbling setbacks of comedy, Lucky Loser is a heart-filled story of making your own luck, the universal experience of failure, and the many ways in which we all inevitably lose on the way to success.Lucky Loser includes a 16-page photo insert.

A Guide to Building a “Beaurtiful” and Everlasting Relationship

The Way Love Goes

"Selvaratnam very bravely and compellingly uses her personal experience to shine a light on the global crisis of violence against women. An important book for the women's rights movement, Assume Nothing demonstrates that violence against women exists across race, class, economic status and education levels, and may be perpetrated by those we think of as allies! It dispels the myth that there are certain types of victims and perpetrators. It will help a lot of people, and particularly those who hesitate to identify as a victim/survivor for fear of losing their grounding both publicly and privately."-Yasmeen Hassan, Global Executive Director, Equality Now"This courageous and terrifying book charts the author's descent into an abusive relationship and also her emergence from it in taut, seductive prose. Selvaratnam explains how-even as an educated, sophisticated, liberal feminist-she was enthralled by her lover's fame and tolerated escalating personal violence. Her narrative is vivid and bracingly frank, a tour-de-force of self-revelation and, ultimately, of redemption."-Andrew Solomon, National Book Award-winning author of&nbsp;Far from the Tree&nbsp;and&nbsp;The Noonday DemonAward-winning filmmaker Tanya Selvaratnam bravely recounts the intimate abuse she suffered from former New York State Attorney General Eric Schneiderman, using her story as a prism to examine the domestic violence crisis plaguing America. When Tanya Selvaratnam met then New York State Attorney General Eric Schneiderman at the Democratic National Convention in July 2016, they seemed like the perfect match. Both were Harvard alumni; both studied Chinese; both were interested in spirituality and meditation, both were well-connected rising stars in their professions-Selvaratnam in entertainment and the art world; Schneiderman in law and politics.&nbsp;Behind closed doors, however, Tanya's life was anything but ideal. Schneiderman became controlling, mean, and manipulative. He drank heavily and used sedatives. Sex turned violent, and he called Tanya-who was born in Sri Lanka and grew up in Southern California-his "brown slave." He isolated and manipulated her, even threatening to kill her if she tried to leave.&nbsp;Twenty-five percent of women in America are victims of domestic abuse. Tanya never thought she would be a part of this statistic. Growing up, she witnessed her father physically and emotionally abuse her mother. Tanya knew the patterns and signs of domestic violence, and did not see herself as remotely vulnerable. Yet what seemed impossible was suddenly a terrifying reality: she was trapped in a violent relationship with one of the most powerful men in New York.&nbsp;Sensitive and nuanced, written with the gripping power of a dark psychological thriller, Assume Nothing details how Tanya's relationship devolved into abuse, how she found the strength to leave-risking her career, reputation, and life-and how she reclaimed her freedom and her voice. In sharing her story, Tanya analyzes the insidious way women from all walks of life learn to accept abuse, and redefines what it means to be a victim of intimate violence.

As a teenager, she joined the wildly popular Mexican girl group Timbiriche and later as a solo artist and actress reached the pinnacle of her the music industry, and she is often referred to as the Latin Madonna, For their part, many journalists and critics have assured that Rubio's great success has also been influenced by the events of her personal life.

Paulina Susana Rubio Dosamantes (Paulina Rubio) es una cantante, compositora, actriz, modelo y mujer de negocios mexicana. Conocida como la “Reina del pop latino” y la “Madonna Latina”, Rubio ha vendido más de 15 millones de récords, lo que la convierte en uno de los artistas de música latina más vendidos de todos lo tiempos. Tiene más de 1.5 millones de seguidores en Instagram, 5.4 millones en Facebook y más de 11 millones en Twitter (que la colocan como la tercera mexicana más popular en Twitter). Sus giras por Norteamérica agotan sus entradas en cuestión de horas en ciudades como Miami, Los Ángeles, Chicago y Nueva York. Ésta es la autobiografía oficial de la adorada cantante mexicoestadounidense, la historia detrás de una de las más prominentes cantantes/artistas/actrices/ mujeres de negocios de Latinoamérica. Un recuento sin límites desde las alturas (giras mundiales con entradas agotadas) hasta las desgarradoras caídas (dos divorcios, ambos debidos a la infidelidad de los esposos). Por primera vez, Paulina abre su corazón y su alma en estas páginas para sus millones de seguidores y cuenta los momentos cruciales de su pasado, revela sus experiencias con los problemas sobre su apariencia física, cómo se abrió paso en una industria dominada por hombres, la crianza de sus hijos como madre soltera y cómo aprendió que sólo puede depender de ella misma. Porque creció como hija de la realeza mexicana de los medios de comunicación (la madre de Paulina es una actriz muy conocida y su padre, un abogado nacido en España), Paulina supo desde temprana edad que estaba destinada a la grandeza. Como adolescente, se unió al popular grupo mexicano de chicas, Timbiriche, y más tarde, como artista individual y actriz, alcanzó la cima de la industrial musical, y con frecuencia recibe el nombre de la Madonna Latina. Por su parte, muchos periodistas y críticos han asegurado que el gran éxito de Paulina también se ha visto influido por acontecimientos de su vida personal. Desde que comenzó su carrera, el publico tuvo mucho interés en explorar su vida personal. Elena Reina, periodista de El País, asegura que su éxito se ha debido a la “brillante estrategia de mercado basada en su vida privada”. También se sabe que los conciertos de Rubio son caros. Su presentación en la gala de Santa Cruz de Tenerife en España en febrero de 2020 se convirtió en la presentación más cara jamás pagada a un artista en ese evento. El propietario del carnaval reveló que “la cantante mexicana recibió una oferta de 103.000 euros por una actuación de ocho minutos”.&nbsp; Paulina Susana Rubio Dosamantes (Paulina Rubio) is a Mexican singer, songwriter, actress, model and businesswoman.&nbsp;Referred to as the "Queen of Latin Pop"&nbsp;and "The Latina Madonna", Rubio has sold over 15 million records&nbsp;making her one of the&nbsp;best-selling Latin music artists of all-time.&nbsp;She has over 1.5 million Instagram followers, 5.4 million Facebook followers and over 11 million Twitter followers, making her the third most popular Mexican on Twitter.

A Little More of Me \ Un poco más de mí (Spanish edition)

In this moving, hilarious, and insightful memoir, Laurie Woolever traces her path from a small-town childhood to working at revered restaurants and food publications, alternately bolstered and overshadowed by two of the most powerful men in the business. But there’s more to the story than the two bold-faced names on her resume: Mario Batali and Anthony Bourdain.Behind the scenes, Laurie’s life is frequently chaotic, an often pleasurable buffet of bad decisions at which she frequently overstays her welcome. Acerbic and wryly self-deprecating, Laurie attempts to carve her own space as a woman in this world that is by turns toxic and intoxicating. Laurie seeks to try it all—from a seedy Atlantic City strip club to the Park Hyatt Tokyo, from a hippie vegetarian co-op to the legendary El Bulli—while balancing her consuming work with her sometimes ambivalent relationship to marriage and motherhood.As the food world careens toward an overdue reckoning and Laurie’s mentors face their own high-profile descents, she is confronted with the questions of where she belongs and how to hold on to the parts of her life’s work that she truly values: care and feeding.

"On January 16, 1983, Aubrey LaHaye's body was found floating in the Bayou Nezpique. His kidnapping ten days before sparked "the biggest manhunt in the history of Evangeline Parish." But his descendants would hear the story as lore, in whispers of the dreadful day the FBI landed a helicopter in the family's rice field and set out on horseback to search for the seventy-year-old banker. Decades later, Aubrey's great-granddaughter Jordan LaHaye Fontenot asked her father, the parish urologist, to tell the full story. He revealed that to this day, every few months, one of his patients will bring up his grandfather's murder, and the man accused of killing him, John Brady Balfa, who remains at Angola Prison serving a life sentence. They'll say, in so many words: "Dr. Marcel, I really don't think that Balfa boy killed your granddaddy." For readers of Maggie Nelson's THE RED PARTS and Emma Copley Eisenberg's THE THIRD RAINBOW GIRL, HOME OF THE HAPPY unravels the layers of suffering borne of this brutal crime-and investigates the mysteries that linger beneath generations of silence. Is it possible that an innocent man languishes in prison, still, wrongly convicted of murdering the author's great-grandfather?"--

The Norwegian explorer, philosopher and acclaimed writer chronicles his historic 58-day journey to the North Pole on skis in this gripping and thought-provoking memoir that is also a profound meditation about nature and our place within it.

The Norwegian explorer, philosopher and acclaimed writer tells of his historic 58-day journey to the North Pole on skis in this provocative memoir that is a profound meditation on nature and the history of explorers' obsession.&nbsp;The North Pole looms large in our collective psyche—the ultimate Otherland in a world mapped and traversed. It is the center of our planet’s rotation, one of the places that is most vulnerable in an epoch of global climate change. Its sub-zero temperatures and strange year of one sunset and one sunrise make it an eerie, utterly disorienting place that challenges human endurance and understanding.Erling Kagge and his friend Børge Ousland became the first people “to ever reach the pole without dogs, without depots and without motorized aids,” skiing for 58 days from a drop off point on the ice edge of Canada’s northernmost island.Erling describes his record-making journey, probing the physical challenges and psychological motivations for embarking on such an epic expedition, the history of the territory’s exploration, its place in legend and art, and the thrilling adventures he experienced during the trek. It is another example of what bestselling author Robert MacFarlane has called “Kagge’s extraordinary life in wild places.”Erling also observes the key role that this place holds in our current climate and geopolitical conversations. As majestic, mesmerizing, and monumental as the terrain it captures, After the North Pole is for anyone who has gazed out at the horizon—and wondered what happens if you keep going.After the North Pole is illustrated with 12-14 photographs.Translated from the Norwegian by Kari Dickson.
