    The legendary tale of Ernest Shackleton's grueling Antarctic expedition, recounted in riveting first-person detail by the captain of HMS Endurance. 
 
 
 
"You seriously mean to tell me that the ship is doomed?" asked Frank Worsley, commander of the Endurance, stuck impassably in Antarctic ice packs. "What the ice gets," replied Sir Ernest Shackleton, the expedition's unflappable leader, "the ice keeps." It did not, however, get the ship's twenty-five crew members, all of whom survived an eight-hundred-mile voyage across sea, land, and ice to South Georgia, the nearest inhabited island. 
 
 
 
First published in 1931, Endurance tells the full story of that doomed 1914-1916 expedition and incredible rescue, as well as relating Worsley's further adventures fighting U-boats in the Great War, sailing the equally treacherous waters of the Arctic, and making one final (and successful) assault on the South Pole with Shackleton. It is a tale of unrelenting high adventure and a tribute to one of the most inspiring and courageous leaders of men in the history of exploration.

    Since her death in 2003, Nina Simone has been the subject of an astonishing number of rereleased, remastered, and remixed albums and compilations as well as biographies, films, viral memes, samples, and soundtracks. In Fantasies of Nina Simone, Jordan Alexander Stein examines the space between our collective and individual fantasies about Simone the performer, civil rights activist, and icon, and her own fantasies about herself. Stein outlines how Simone gave voice to personal fantasies through releasing dozens of covers of her white male contemporaries. With her covers of George Harrison, the Bee Gees, Bob Dylan, and others, Simone explored and claimed the power and perspective that come with race and gender privilege. Looking at examples from Simone's four-decade genre-bending career—from songbook standards, jazz, and pop to folk, junkanoo, and reggae—and at her work's many uptakes and afterlives, Stein mobilizes the psychoanalytic concept of fantasy to build a black feminist history with and for this multifaceted performing artist.

    DISCLAIMER: THIS IS NOT THE OFFICIAL BOOK. 
This is a summary, and it does not accompany the official 
'Tired of Winning' by Jonathan Karl examines Donald Trump's resurgence in the Republican Party following his presidency. The book describes Trump's journey from a defeated and disgraced former president to regaining prominence within the party. Karl, with his extensive experience as a reporter and ABC News's chief White House correspondent, offers detailed insights into Trump's post-presidency period at Mar-a-Lago, where he became increasingly extreme and vengeful, causing damage to the GOP's electoral prospects. Despite legal challenges and a divisive presence, Trump re-emerged as a frontrunner for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination. The book poses a critical question to the Republican Party, paralleling Ronald Reagan's 1964 speech, about whether they are ready to continue their path with Trump as their leader. Karl's unique perspective, rooted in his long history of covering Trump, provides a comprehensive view of the former president's quest for retribution and the potential implications for the GOP.
