#1 NATIONAL BESTSELLER • NATIONAL BOOK AWARD FINALIST • From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Splendid and the Vile comes the true tale of the 1893 World's Fair in Chicago and the cunning serial killer who used the magic and majesty of the fair to lure his victims to their death. “As absorbing a piece of popular history as one will ever hope to find.” —San Francisco Chronicle A Kirkus Reviews Best Nonfiction Book of the Century • A Los Angeles Times Best Nonfiction Book of the Last 30 Years Combining meticulous research with nail-biting storytelling, Erik Larson has crafted a narrative with all the wonder of newly discovered history and the thrills of the best fiction. Two men, each handsome and unusually adept at his chosen work, embodied an element of the great dynamic that characterized America’s rush toward the twentieth century. The architect was Daniel Hudson Burnham, the fair’s brilliant director of works and the builder of many of the country’s most important structures, including the Flatiron Building in New York and Union Station in Washington, D.C. The murderer was Henry H. Holmes, a young doctor who, in a malign parody of the White City, built his “World’s Fair Hotel” just west of the fairgrounds—a torture palace complete with dissection table, gas chamber, and 3,000-degree crematorium. Burnham overcame tremendous obstacles and tragedies as he organized the talents of Frederick Law Olmsted, Charles McKim, Louis Sullivan, and others to transform swampy Jackson Park into the White City, while Holmes used the attraction of the great fair and his own satanic charms to lure scores of young women to their deaths. What makes the story all the more chilling is that Holmes really lived, walking the grounds of that dream city by the lake. The Devil in the White City draws the reader into the enchantment of the Guilded Age, made all the more appealing by a supporting cast of real-life characters, including Buffalo Bill, Theodore Dreiser, Susan B. Anthony, Thomas Edison, Archduke Francis Ferdinand, and others. Erik Larson’s gifts as a storyteller are magnificently displayed in this rich narrative of the master builder, the killer, and the great fair that obsessed them both.

New New Typography is not an encyclopedia. Not a manual. New New Typography is messy, uncertain and unstable One hundred years after the proclamation of the so-called “New Typography” in Central Europe, the somewhat ironic question of a “new” New Typography emerges—less as an update, more as a question that challenges universal rules. In consequence, this book seeks to unsettle established paradigms by opening typography to an expanded, more inclusive vocabulary. “New New” means not innovation and progress, but rather a reorientation, a new relational standpoint between past and present, to bring forward practices that have been neglected, marginalized, or excluded. With 243 figures and six theoretical proposals, the book is an overview of the impossibility of an overview. It invites readers to engage in diverse renegotiations and re-visions of typography, intertwining texts and quotations with historical and contemporary documents, diagrams, and images. It embarks on speculative adventures that are open to the unforeseen and may not lead anywhere. New New Typography contains works and thoughts of: Adel Faure, Alec Vivier-Reynaud, Alex Walker, Alexandra Arènes, Bänziger Hug, Barbara Brownie, Benoît Bodhuin, Boot Boyz Biz, Bruno Latour, Bye Bye Binary, Caspar Reuss, Charlotte Rohde, Chris Lee, Clara Sambot, Daniel Wenzel, David Small, Deborah Enzmann, Dennis Hoelscher, DIA, Dinamo, Douglas R.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER A Washington Post Notable Work of Nonfiction An NPR Best Book of the Year A Kirkus Reviews Best Book of the Year A Chicago Review of Books Best Book of the Year A New York Public Library Best Book of the Year A Goodreads Choice Awards Finalist "With narrative elan, Egan gives us a riveting saga of how a predatory con man became one of the most powerful people in 1920s America, Grand Dragon of the Ku Klux Klan, with a plan to rule the country—and how a grisly murder of a woman brought him down. Compelling and chillingly resonant with our own time." —Erik Larson, author of The Splendid and the Vile “Riveting…Egan is a brilliant researcher and lucid writer.” —Minneapolis Star Tribune A historical thriller by the Pulitzer and National Book Award-winning author that tells the riveting story of the Klan's rise to power in the 1920s, the cunning con man who drove that rise, and the woman who stopped them. The Roaring Twenties—the Jazz Age—has been characterized as a time of Gatsby frivolity. But it was also the height of the uniquely American hate group, the Ku Klux Klan. Their domain was not the old Confederacy, but the Heartland and the West. They hated Blacks, Jews, Catholics and immigrants in equal measure, and took radical steps to keep these people from the American promise. And the man who set in motion their takeover of great swaths of America was a charismatic charlatan named D.C. Stephenson. Stephenson was a magnetic presence whose life story changed with every telling. Within two years of his arrival in Indiana, he’d become the Grand Dragon of the state and the architect of the strategy that brought the group out of the shadows – their message endorsed from the pulpits of local churches, spread at family picnics and town celebrations. Judges, prosecutors, ministers, governors and senators across the country all proudly proclaimed their membership. But at the peak of his influence, it was a seemingly powerless woman – Madge Oberholtzer – who would reveal his secret cruelties, and whose deathbed testimony finally brought the Klan to their knees. A FEVER IN THE HEARTLAND marries a propulsive drama to a powerful and page-turning reckoning with one of the darkest threads in American history.

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • From the bestselling author and master of narrative nonfiction comes the enthralling story of the sinking of the Lusitania “Both terrifying and enthralling.”—Entertainment Weekly “ Thrilling, dramatic and powerful. ” —NPR “ Thoroughly engrossing. ” —George R.R. Martin On May 1, 1915, with WWI entering its tenth month, a luxury ocean liner as richly appointed as an English country house sailed out of New York, bound for Liverpool, carrying a record number of children and infants. The passengers were surprisingly at ease, even though Germany had declared the seas around Britain to be a war zone. For months, German U-boats had brought terror to the North Atlantic. But the Lusitania was one of the era’s great transatlantic “Greyhounds”—the fastest liner then in service—and her captain, William Thomas Turner, placed tremendous faith in the gentlemanly strictures of warfare that for a century had kept civilian ships safe from attack. Germany, however, was determined to change the rules of the game, and Walther Schwieger, the captain of Unterseeboot-20, was happy to oblige. Meanwhile, an ultra-secret British intelligence unit tracked Schwieger’s U-boat, but told no one. As U-20 and the Lusitania made their way toward Liverpool, an array of forces both grand and achingly small—hubris; a chance fog, a closely guarded secret, and more—all converged to produce one of the great disasters of history. It is a story that many of us think we know but don’t; and Erik Larson tells it thrillingly, switching between hunter and hunted while painting a larger portrait of America at the height of the Progressive Era. Full of glamour and suspense, Dead Wake brings to life a cast of evocative characters, from famed Boston bookseller Charles Lauriat to pioneering female architect Theodate Pope to President Woodrow Wilson, a man lost to grief, dreading the widening war but also captivated by the prospect of new love. Gripping and important, Dead Wake captures the sheer drama and emotional power of a disaster whose intimate details and true meaning have long been obscured by history.

NOTE: this is the Traditional Chinese version of this book. A Simplified Chinese version is also available. A young boy shares a little house in Beijing with 23 cats. His friend comes to visit, but the two of them can't sit down, can't study, and can't even eat dinner together because of all the cats. What to do? The answer, which involves a very large dog, will surprise and delight you. This wonderful little tale is for beginning Chinese students of all ages. Its tiny vocabulary of just 101 words is taken from the HSK1 list of words used to teach beginning students of Chinese. Each page of Traditional Chinese is faced by an opposite page of pinyin (phonetic spelling), so if a reader gets stuck on an unfamiliar word they can check it against the pinyin. A complete glossary and English translation is in the back of the book, and a free audiobook is available on YouTube and can be downloaded from the Imagin8 Press website. Twenty Three Cats is written by Jeff Pepper, best-selling author of the multi-volume Journey to the West series for beginning and intermediate Chinese readers, and many other books including innovative translations of the Chinese classics Dao De Jing, San Zi Jing, and The Art of War. REVIEWS FROM CHINESE TEACHERS: "Twenty Three Cats is a very cute story, an easy read for beginning Chinese learners. Repetitions in the vocabulary and sentence structure help novice students learn easily. The drawings are vivid and thoughtful to reflect the reading. I love that the pinyin is provided on the opposite page for a quick reference, and not next to the characters directly. I also find it useful for novice learners to have an English version of the story as well as a glossary towards the end of the book." - Treena Larson, Chinese and DE&I Teacher, University of Chicago Laboratory Schools "This is a very good book for beginners to learn Chinese and master the HSK1 vocabulary. This book can not only attract children's attention, but is also a very good resource for adult learners. I think this book is a perfect option for children and adult learners who are looking for a way to learn basic Chinese." - Tong Chen, Lecturer in Chinese, Massachusetts Institute of Technology Global Languages; board member, Chinese Teachers Association "This is a lovely story full of imagination. The dialogues make it easy for beginner readers to understand, and the repetition of high-frequency words deepens the memory of language. Kids will be interested in learning Chinese and then actually learn it." - Rongrong Lin, Chinese Teacher, New Trier High School, Northfield IL

»Hört auf die Wissenschaft, bevor es zu spät ist!« Greta Thunberg hat die Welt aufgerüttelt und tief bewegt. Mit dem Klima-Buch schafft sie nun ein unverzichtbares Werkzeug – für alle, die sich für die Rettung unseres Planeten einsetzen wollen. Die Aufgabe scheint geradezu unmöglich: eine Zukunft für das Leben auf unserem Planeten zu sichern. So schnell und umfassend zu handeln wie noch nie zuvor. Und sich dabei gegen scheinbar übermächtige Gegner durchzusetzen – nicht nur gegen Ölmultis und Regierungen, sondern auch gegen das im Wandel befindliche Klimasystem selbst. Unsere Chancen stehen nicht besonders gut, und die Zeit läuft uns davon – aber es könnte alles auch ganz anders kommen . Weltweit haben Expert:innen aus Geophysik, Mathematik, Ozeanographie, Meteorologie, Ökonomie, Psychologie und Philosophie ihr Fachwissen eingesetzt, um ein tieferes Verständnis der Krisen zu entwickeln, mit denen wir konfrontiert sind. Greta Thunberg hat ihr Klima-Buch in Zusammenarbeit mit über hundert Wissenschaftler:innen zusammengestellt. Außerdem erzählt sie von ihren eigenen Erfahrungen, die sie sammeln konnte. Davon, wie sie das weltweit praktizierte Greenwashing aufgedeckt und somit gezeigt hat, wie sehr wir alle hinters Licht geführt wurden. Dies ist eines der größten Probleme unserer Zeit, aber – wie Greta sagt – zugleich auch unsere größte Hoffnung. Erst wenn wir alle das Gesamtbild kennen, werden wir auch handeln können. Wenn ein einzelnes streikendes Schulkind einen weltweiten Protest lostreten kann, was könnten wir dann gemeinsam alles erreichen? In der heutigen Zeit zu leben – der entscheidendsten Zeit der Menschheitsgeschichte –; bedeutet, eine große Verantwortung zu tragen. Das Klima-Buch zeigt, dass wir gemeinsam das scheinbar Unmögliche schaffen können. Aber wir müssen es tun – und zwar jetzt! Durchgehend vierfarbig; mit zahlreichen Fotos, Schaubildern und Graphiken. Greta Thunberg , geb. 2003, startete im August 2018 einen Schulstreik für das Klima vor dem schwedischen Parlament, der sich seitdem auf der ganzen Welt verbreitet hat.

I loved it' - SARA COX, BBC 2 Between the Covers 'Everyone needs to read this ' 5-star reader review ___________ A woman ahead of her time. But exactly right for ours Chemist Elizabeth Zott is not your average woman. In fact, she would be the first to point out that there is no such thing. But it's the early 1960s and her all-male team at Hastings Research Institute take a very unscientific view of equality. Except for one: Calvin Evans, the lonely, brilliant, Nobel-Prize-nominated grudge-holder who falls in love with - of all things - her mind. Like science, life is unpredictable. Forced to leave her job at the institute, Elizabeth Zott soon finds herself the reluctant star of America's most beloved cooking show, Supper at Six. Elizabeth's unusual approach to cooking ('Combine one tablespoon acetic acid with a pinch of sodium chloride') proves revolutionary. But as her following grows, not everyone is happy. Because as it turns out, Elizabeth Zott isn't just teaching women to cook. She's daring them to change the status quo.

“A dark, frightening and twisty story that you won't be able to put down. Read with the lights on!” —Shari Lapena, New York Times bestselling author of The Couple Next Door “A cross between Gillian Flynn’s Dark Places and ghost hunter heir Alexandra Holzer’s autobiography, Sager’s latest is a haunted house story—with a twist. . . . Sager is a master of the twist and the turn, and he does not hold back in his fourth book. Like any good thriller, you have to read to the very last page to find how who did what to whom and why.” —Rolling Stone “Sager's novel is packed with the expected horror-trope-tinged suspense, literary jump-scares, and more than one twist, but its best moments are the quiet ones exploring the history of the house.” —USA Today “Something fresh, shot through with shocks of real horror.” —New York Times Book Review “[A] propulsive thriller . . . There are truly horrifying scenes. . . . Maggie soon learns what we already know: Real life is scarier than ghost stories.” –Washington Post “Riley Sager reimagines the classic haunted house tale in Home Before Dark, a stunning tale that blends genres with the ease of a master painter mixing colors. . . . This is scintillating suspense writing, Sager leaving no stone unturned in crafting a page-turner of rare depth and complexity.” —The Providence Journal “This spooky, surreal haunted-house story goes through plenty of twists at the end. . . . Sager has become one of my favorites for gothic stories that scare and make you think.” — The Parkersburg News & Sentinel “You might believe in ghosts; you might not. But a story with a ghost inhabiting a creaky old house and haunting its new residents is simply irresistible. At least in the right hands, and Riley Sager’s definitely are the right hands. From the shadowy figures in the woods to the sounds that go bump in the night, Home Before Dark is certain to creep you out." —Bookreporter "Clever, twisty, and altogether spine-chilling . . . [A] deliciously terrifying story . . .You'll want to read this one after dark, ideally with the wind whistling in the eaves and a window banging somewhere just out of reach. But keep the light switch handy. You just might need it." — Ruth Ware, Book of the Month “Sager has laid out an exciting story that is hard to put down.” — New York Journal of Books “ Home Before Dark pays homage to The Amityville Horror and, as in Sager’s other novels, the story blends psychological suspense with elements of classic horror, for a creepy, edge-of-your-seat read.” –BuzzFeed “ Home Before Dark is a compelling and layered mix of taut psychological suspense, genuinely scary haunted-house terrors, and the vagaries of memory, capped off with an inventive and satisfyingly wild ending.” –Bookpage; starred review "What could be better than a haunted house with ghosts aplenty? Home Before Dark is equally superb and terrifying. Buckle up for a wild ride. This book should come with a warning not to be read after dark." – Mary Kubica, New York Times bestselling author of The Other Mrs. "Flawless pacing, a dexterous dual narrative, and character through the roof. But the biggest revelation to be found in Home Before Dark is this: There’s nobody writing scarier books than Riley Sager is right now." –Josh Malerman, New York Times bestselling author of Bird Box and Malorie “[Sager] really pulls off something ingenious here." –Erik Larson on Mental Floss “Holy moly, I haven't been that shocked by a twist in quite some time. I actually laughed aloud when the big reveal came-because I was so delighted to have been so fooled. It's hard to write a book that's equal parts fun and frightening but Sager has done just that-and thrown in impeccable plotting for good measure. If you liked The Haunting of Hill House, you're going to love Home Before Dark. Addictive and atmospheric with a twist you definitely won't see coming.” – Stephanie Wrobel , bestselling author of Darling Rose Gold "Houses breathe. Some have a heartbeat. None for
