  Girl in a Band - A Memoir

  NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER 
  Kim Gordon, founding member of Sonic Youth, fashion icon, and role model for a generation of women, now tells her story—a memoir of life as an artist, of music, marriage, motherhood, independence, and as one of the first women of rock and roll, written with the lyricism and haunting beauty of Patti Smith's Just Kids. 
  Often described as aloof, Kim Gordon opens up as never before in Girl in a Band. Telling the story of her family, growing up in California in the '60s and '70s, her life in visual art, her move to New York City, the men in her life, her marriage, her relationship with her daughter, her music, and her band, Girl in a Band is a rich and beautifully written memoir. 
  Gordon takes us back to the lost New York of the 1980s and '90s that gave rise to Sonic Youth, and the Alternative revolution in popular music. The band helped build a vocabulary of music—paving the way for Nirvana, Hole, Smashing Pumpkins and many other acts. But at its core, Girl in a Band examines the route from girl to woman in uncharted territory, music, art career, what partnership means—and what happens when that identity dissolves. 
  Evocative and edgy, filled with the sights and sounds of a changing world and a transformative life, Girl in a Band is the fascinating chronicle of a remarkable journey and an extraordinary artist.

  No Heroes No Monsters - What I...

  Anna Ardin

  No Heroes, No Monsters focuses on the dramatic struggle of Anna Ardin, the WikiLeaks activist who, in 2010, came forward to report sexual abuse by Julian Assange. This is her testimony to a legal trial that was replaced by an Internet tribunal. A tribunal where women's rights are all too often both neglected and weaponized. A tribunal that every day of the year chooses a new woman to be the most hated. 
  The book goes beyond the headlines - the black and white pictures of heroes or monsters - and emphasizes the need to acknowledge the shades of gray. In the book Ardin navigates through her personal life, the sexual assault charges, the media frenzy and the extensive hatred that followed from accusing a popular man, as well as through the unfair accusations of Chelsea Manning and WikiLeaks.  
  Ardin's story is a call for justice for everyone abused, holding even important people accountable. It's a powerful compilation of the feminist lessons Ardin learned from living, for over a decade, in the shadow of the "hero" myth.

  With wry stories from his down-to-earth personal life and cutting-edge TV career, Fox News anchor Trace Gallagher reveals how the best advice sometimes comes from the most unexpected places.Dive into the real stories behind the headlines with Trace Gallagher, the Fox News @ Night anchor who brings genuine heart and humor to the day’s news. In Turns Out They Were Right All Along, he pulls back the curtain on a life shaped by singular people, memorable disasters, and wisdom discovered when you least expect it.Meet fourteen-year-old “Tracy Boy,” scraping together $250 to attend John Wooden’s storied basketball camp. With his sights set on becoming an NBA champ, the teen can’t wait to hear secrets from the legendary coach. Yet Wooden’s only appearance lasts a few minutes, and his advice—always practice in two pairs of socks to avoid blisters—is underwhelming to the impressionable adolescent. In hindsight, these seemingly inconsequential words guided Gallagher throughout his life. The deeper message, about being prepared to work your butt off on the fundamentals, affected him even more.Grab a life jacket as the future anchor recounts his years as a professional water skier—the unsuccessful stunts, wipeouts, and face-plants that required more Tylenol than training, and the time he failed spectacularly to teach superstar Jimmy Buffett to water ski. Cringe along as the world’s worst (and best) dog—a yellow Lab named Jack—chews walls, furniture, boats, and sanity, while teaching the Gallagher family about unconditional love and unique levels of chaos. For Trace and his wife Tracy (yes, they share the same name), Jack was more than a pet; he was a lesson in patience, optimism, and finding joy in a disaster zone.With his trademark openness, Gallagher shares the decision that nearly ended his TV life just as it was taking off. It was a stand that could’ve been his undoing but became a moment that defined his ground-breaking career. Funny, smart, and thoroughly revealing, Turns Out They Were Right All Along brings readers into the life of one of TV’s most admired news stars and demonstrates why sometimes the quirkiest lessons—and the wildest stories—leave the deepest marks on your feet and your future.

  How the demise of the Habsburg Empire, postwar sovereignty, and new diplomatic frontiers shaped the nature of citizenship, identity, and belonging across Europe 
   
   
    
  This book is a collective portrait of twenty-one key statesmen who came of age during the Habsburg Empire. They include the cofounder of Austro-Marxism and the Austrian republic's first foreign minister, the cofounder of the European Union after the Second World War, the founder of the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia, and Mussolini's ambassador to Vienna. Some survived the First World War and the resulting geographical divisions in their homelands, and some went on to serve in politics and governments throughout Europe. 
   
   
    
  Taken together, the stories of these men offer listeners a window on broad issues of European history in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries—chiefly, how an imperial heritage, a shared vision of statehood and nationalism, and a commitment to peaceful conflict resolution helped establish enduring loyalty and unity despite the geographical fault lines resulting from the war. As Iryna Vushko explains, their stories also offer an increasingly nuanced understanding of the achievements and failures of the Habsburg Empire.

  The Governor Who Would Be...

  Few American politicians have ascended as rapidly—or drawn as much national scrutiny—as Gavin Newsom. From the polished chambers of San Francisco’s City Hall to the wildfire-scarred landscapes of California, Newsom has become more than a governor. He stands at the center of America’s fiercest cultural and political debates, a figure both admired and contested in equal measure. 
  The Governor Who Would Be President is a sharp, deeply researched political biography tracing Newsom’s evolution from a dyslexic student confronting early challenges to one of the most visible leaders in the United States. It examines the defining moments that shaped his ascent: the bold move to authorize same-sex marriage that reverberated nationwide, the catastrophic wildfire seasons that tested executive leadership, the pandemic lockdown battles that divided a state, and the recall campaign that threatened to derail his career. 
  But this book reaches beyond the headlines. 
  It explores the architecture of ambition—how alliances, reinvention, message discipline, and media strategy fueled Newsom’s rise. It dissects the mechanics of modern political branding and probes the careful expansion of his national presence. Beneath policy fights and press conferences lies a question shaping the national conversation: Is California’s governor positioning himself for the presidency? 
  Balanced and clear-eyed, this biography neither campaigns nor condemns. Instead, it offers context in an era of partisan noise. It reveals the long arc behind the public persona—the strategy, risk, and consequence that define leadership in twenty-first-century America. 
  Compelling and timely, The Governor Who Would Be President is an incisive portrait of power, ambition, and a nation at a crossroads.
