A brand-new tie-in edition of Harlan Coben’s #1 New York Times bestselling thriller—soon to be a Netflix original series—that proves the past never truly fades away….Megan is a suburban soccer mom who once upon a time walked on the wild side. Ray used to be a talented documentary photographer, but now finds himself in a dead-end job posing as a paparazzo. Broome is a detective who can’t let go of a cold case. Each is hiding secrets that even those closest to them would never suspect. When the terrible consequences of long-ago events threaten to ruin their quiet suburban lives, they will come to the startling realization that they may not want to forget the past at all. As Megan, Ray, and Broome are faced with the excitement of temptation and the desperation and hunger that can lurk behind even the prettiest facades, they will discover a hard truth: the line between one kind of life and another can be as whisper-thin as a heartbeat.

A heartfelt debut about a bird-obsessed boy whose own family's unusual nest is in danger of falling apart and the lengths he goes to bring his loved ones back together again. Axel would like to be an eagle, his favorite bird. Nobody tells an eagle what to do or makes them behave like conformist pigeons, the bird Axel's mother seems to want. She tests Axel on his social-skills and worries whenever he wanders beyond the barn next door. Still, he knows his mother is an osprey deep down--they're the finest mothers of all the birds. His dad, Frank, is a wild turkey who ran off five months ago and hasn't shown up for weekend visits since. Axel doesn't understand his father's absence, but he busies himself reading the Encyclopedia of Birds and observing the eagle's nest in the nearby woods. When a tornado hits, seriously damaging Axel's house, Frank reappears to help with repairs. Axel isn't happy about Frank's reappearance and he doesn't understand why his mom insists Axel give Frank a chanc

Anil Seth's quest to understand the biological basis of conscious experience is one of the most exciting contributions to twenty-first-century science. An unprecedented tour of consciousness thanks to new experimental evidence, much of which comes from Anil Seth's own lab. His radical argument is that we do not perceive the world as it objectively is, but rather that we are prediction machines, constantly inventing our world and correcting our mistakes by the microsecond, and that we can now observe the biological mechanisms in the brain that accomplish this process of consciousness. Seth's work has yielded new ways to communicate with patients previously deemed unconscious, as well as promising methods of coping with brain damage and disease. Being You sheds light on the future of AI and virtual/augmented reality, adds empirical evidence to cutting-edge ideas of how the brain works, and ushers in a new age in the study of the mystery of human consciousness. This book is a life-changin

A humorous and rousing tour of America's nature spots as well as a mission statement about loving, protecting, and truly experiencing the outdoors, inspired by three journeys undertaken by actor, humorist, and New York Times bestselling author Nick OffermanNick Offerman has always felt a kinship to the Land of the Free--not just to the people and their purported ideals but to the actual land itself. The bedrock, the topsoil, and everything in between that generates the health of your local watershed. In his new book, Nick takes a humorous, inspiring, and elucidating trip to America's trails, farms, and frontier to celebrate the people, landscape, and stories, both historical and fresh, that have made it great. The seeds of this book were planted in 2019, when Nick took two memorable journeys with friends--a hiking trip to Glacier National Park with his friends Jeff Tweedy and George Saunders, as well as an extended visit to his friend James Rebanks, the author of A Shepherd's Life and

A Finalist for the National Book Award When Ada leaves home for her freshman year at a Historically Black College, it's the first time she's ever been so far from her family--and the first time that she's been able to make her own choices and to seek her place in this new world. As she stumbles deeper into the world of dance and explores her sexuality, she also begins to wrestle with her past--her mother's struggle with addiction, her Nigerian father's attempts to make a home for her. Ultimately, Ada discovers she needs to brush off the destiny others have chosen for her and claim full ownership of her body and her future. "Candice Iloh's beautifully crafted narrative about family, belonging, sexuality, and telling our deepest truths in order to be whole is at once immensely readable and ultimately healing."--Jacqueline Woodson, New York Times Bestselling Author of Brown Girl Dreaming "An essential--and emotionally gripping and masterfully written and compulsively readable--addition to

From Martin Dugard, the #1 New York Times bestselling coauthor of Bill O'Reilly's Killing series―with more than 12 million copies sold―comes a thrilling account of the World War II Allied liberation of Paris from the grip of the NazisAugust 1944: After two months of combat and slaughter in the wake of D-Day, Hitler's troops have managed to avoid annihilation. Countless German soldiers retreat from Normandy, sweeping a path of violence back to Nazi-occupied Paris. There, they expect to make a last stand, ready to destroy the ancient city rather than see it fall from Hitler's grasp. The Allies have a clear path toward Germany. General Eisenhower intends to bypass the city, fearing that overseeing its four million inhabitants will place an unnecessary burden on his supply lines. He knows that seizing Paris, instead of pressing the immediate advantage toward the German heartland, is a mistake. But Paris, a symbol of the liberty the Allies hold so dear, is different. Over 120,000 Parisians

THE UNTOLD TECH STORY OF OUR TIME What does it mean to be smart? To be human? What do we really want from life and the intelligence we have, or might create? With deep and exclusive reporting, across hundreds of interviews, New York Times Silicon Valley journalist Cade Metz brings you into the rooms where these questions are being answered. Where an extraordinarily powerful new artificial intelligence has been built into our biggest companies, our social discourse, and our daily lives, with few of us even noticing. Long dismissed as a technology of the distant future, artificial intelligence was a project consigned to the fringes of the scientific community. Then two researchers changed everything. One was a sixty-four-year-old computer science professor who didn't drive and didn't fly because he could no longer sit down--but still made his way across North America for the moment that would define a new age of technology. The other was a thirty-six-year-old neuroscientist and chess pro

"Carl Zimmer is one of the best science writers we have today."--Rebecca Skloot, author of The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks We all assume we know what life is, but the more scientists learn about the living world--from protocells to brains, from zygotes to pandemic viruses--the harder they find it is to locate life's edge. Carl Zimmer investigates one of the biggest questions of all: What is life? The answer seems obvious until you try to seriously answer it. Is the apple sitting on your kitchen counter alive, or is only the apple tree it came from deserving of the word? If we can't answer that question here on earth, how will we know when and if we discover alien life on other worlds? The question hangs over some of society's most charged conflicts--whether a fertilized egg is a living person, for example, and when we ought to declare a person legally dead. Life's Edge is an utterly fascinating investigation that no one but one of the most celebrated science writers of our generat
