  The Storm Is Brewing-Unlock the Secrets of QAnon 
  Who is Q? What's the Deep State hiding? What dark plans are unfolding for the next decade? 
  QAnon isn't just a conspiracy theory-it's a battle cry from the shadows, a glimpse into a war most don't even know is being fought. At its core lies the "Deep State"-a secretive cabal accused of weaving a global tapestry of corruption, manipulation, and unspeakable evil. Their goal? Some say it's a New World Order, a totalitarian reset of society. Others whisper of something even more sinister. The edges of this puzzle are jagged, the pieces don't always fit, and even Q's followers wrestle with the question: what's the real endgame? You will discover: 
  Who Is Q? The elusive figure-or figures-driving this revolution, and the allies tied to the cause. 
  Decoding the Drops: Master the art of unraveling Q's cryptic messages and see what others miss. 
  The Deep State Unveiled: Names, faces, and the shadowy power pulling the world's strings. 
  Symbolism in QAnon: The hidden codes and signs that whisper truths in plain sight. 
  The Epstein Connection: How one scandal ties into Q's warnings and shakes the elite to their core. 
  The QAnon phenomenon is a labyrinth-wild, tangled, and more bizarre with every passing day. It's a web of rumors, revelations, and red-hot debates that can swallow the unprepared whole. But you don't have to face it alone. This book is your torch in the dark-a carefully crafted guide to the terms, players, and buried secrets that define QAnon. 
  The clock is ticking. Are you ready to unlock Q's deepest secrets and stand on the front lines of the truth?

  We like to believe that bigotry is a product of ignorance and that if we educate people enough, they will become immune to bigotry. But what if bigotry isn't a lack of education, but rather a moral code that people live by? What if bigotry is a common code of hate to which no community is immune? 
    
  On Bigotry is a field guide for understanding how bigots think and teach others to think, how bigotry disguises itself, how bigotry teaches people to act politically, and, most importantly, what individuals and communities can do about it. This is an essential read for anyone interested in challenging the spread of bigotry in society, regardless of who engages in it and why.

  In a trenchant work of nonfiction, the #1 New York Times bestselling author identifies a series of self-inflicted wounds on our body politic that have led to the current moment, and shows us how we can undo the harm  
    
  “A modern-day Tocqueville, Richard North Patterson marshals an immense amount of research to show, incisively and readably, why we are now in danger of losing our democracy—and how we can recover from our current malaise.”—Max Boot, author of Reagan: His Life and Legend 
    
  In a trenchant work of nonfiction, the New York Times bestselling author identifies a series of self-inflicted wounds and destabilizing societal trends that have led America to the precipice of autocracy, and lays out a program for reversing the harm. From politicized Supreme Court decisions to wrong-headed policy initiatives and toxic political maneuvers, Richard North Patterson—whose novel on presidential politics, Protect and Defend, was a #1 New York Times bestseller—combines fifteen fateful moments in the past quarter-century with an immersive narrative of the underlying economic, cultural, and political developments that made these tripwires so profoundly consequential. 
    
  Starting with the Supreme Court intervention that awarded George W. Bush the presidency, Patterson examines the often under-appreciated turning points that helped undermine our polity, from the accidental accession of John Roberts as Chief Justice and the ruin wreaked by America’s subprime mortgages, to Donald Trump’s demand to see Barack Obama’s birth certificate, Marco Rubio’s sabotage of his own immigration reform bill, and Mitch McConnell’s refusal to convict Trump for his attempted coup—culminating in the ultimate betrayal of our constitutional democracy: the Roberts Court’s invitation to unbounded presidential power. 
    
  Patterson’s near-encyclopedic knowledge of recent U.S. history along with his political acumen and training as a trial lawyer allow him to distill cause and effect in a deeply synthetic way, building to a comprehensive account of the perverse compound of ignorance, corruption, racism, religiosity, plutocracy, and authoritarianism wrought by Trump’s return to power. He concludes with a detailed program for establishing a truly equitable and democratic society, offering hope for America’s future.

  Our lives are minefields of misinformation. It ripples through our social media feeds, our daily headlines, and the pronouncements of politicians, executives, and authors. Stories, statistics, and studies are everywhere, allowing people to find evidence to support whatever position they want. Many of these sources are flawed, yet by playing on our emotions and preying on our biases, they can gain widespread acceptance, warp our views, and distort our decisions. 
   
   
    
  In this eye-opening book, renowned economist Alex Edmans teaches us how to separate fact from fiction. Using colorful examples—from a wellness guru's tragic but fabricated backstory to the blunders that led to the Deepwater Horizon disaster to the diet that ensnared millions yet hastened its founder's death—Edmans highlights the biases that cause us to mistake statements for facts, facts for data, data for evidence, and evidence for proof. 
   
   
    
  Armed with the knowledge of what to guard against, he then provides a practical guide to combat this tide of misinformation. Going beyond simply checking the facts and explaining individual statistics, Edmans explores the relationships between statistics—the science of cause and effect—ultimately training us to think smarter, sharper, and more critically.
