She waged a battle against misogyny to help provide women with the education they deserved. Compelling and meticulously researched, Women’s Crusader is the inspiring turning-point story of an important yet little-known woman in US history.

What does it mean to be a hero—in sports and in life?


Heroes aren’t just the ones who bring home medals. 
Hero Redefined delves into the lesser-known stories of Olympic athletes—and a couple of special Olympic venues—that challenge the conventional narrative of glory and gold.

finish. Throughout, Levy celebrates the heroic human spirit and its relentless drive to carry the torch forward—both inside and outside of the Olympic Games.

Reality Is Not What It Seems: The Journey to Quantum Gravity

by Carlo Rovelli


“The man who makes physics sexy . . . the scientist they’re calling the next Stephen Hawking.” 
The Times Magazine

From the 
New York Times–bestselling author of Seven Brief Lessons on PhysicsThe Order of TimeHelgoland, and Anaximander, a closer look at the mind-bending nature of the universe.

What are the elementary ingredients of the world? Do time and space exist? And what exactly is reality? Theoretical physicist Carlo Rovelli has spent his life exploring these questions. He tells us how our understanding of reality has changed over the centuries and how physicists think about the structure of the universe today.

In elegant and accessible prose, Rovelli takes us on a wondrous journey from Democritus to Albert Einstein, from Michael Faraday to gravitational waves, and from classical physics to his own work in quantum gravity. As he shows us how the idea of reality has evolved over time, Rovelli offers deeper explanations of the theories he introduced so concisely in 
Seven Brief Lessons on Physics.

This book culminates in a lucid overview of quantum gravity, the field of research that explores the quantum nature of space and time, seeking to unify quantum mechanics and general relativity. Rovelli invites us to imagine a marvelous world where space breaks up into tiny grains, time disappears at the smallest scales, and black holes are waiting to explode—a vast universe still largely undiscovered.

by Sam Gold


Are you tired of watching the price of nearly everything you need to survive run away?

Are you sick of that sick feeling you get in your stomach every time you hear the news of yet another environmental disaster? How about crime, and war? Are you sick of those young men slaughtering each other yet?

Here, Mr. Gold shows how We the People of these United States of America can come together to fix all these problems and more, without any of us knowing how to fix them. He proposes this can be accomplished using orthodox engineering methods to design new and improved US dollars that eliminate poverty, crime, and environmental degradation from our beautiful world.
