IN spite of spending a great deal of time alone, the author finds friendships with other pilgrims developing at warp speed. Fleming explores questions such as: What is the value of an old road? How do we make space for new friendships? What's the difference between a traveler, a wanderer, and a thief? What new words do we need to describe the phenomena pilgrims encounter? Join Fleming as he meets a diverse, international cast of characters: Sammy, Joe, Hugo, Alberto, Sabrina, Jonas, Britt and Jasmine, and many more. Rediscover the ancient Way to making new friends.

  Black artisans have long been central to American art and design, creating innovative and highly desired work against immense odds. Atlanta-based chairmaker and scholar Robell Awake explores the stories behind ten cornerstones of Black craft, including: 
   
   
   
  ● The celebrated wooden chairs of Richard Poynor, an enslaved craftsman who began a dynasty of Tennessee chairmakers. 
   
   
   
  ● The elegant wrought-iron gates of Philip Simmons, seen to this day throughout Charleston, South Carolina, whose work features motifs from the Low Country. 
   
   
   
  ● The inventive assemblage art and yard shows of Joe Minter, James Hampton, Bessie Harvey, and others, who draw on African spiritual traditions to create large-scale improvisational art installations. 
   
   
   
  From the enslaved potters of Old Edgefield, South Carolina, to Ann Lowe, the couture dressmaker who made Jacqueline Kennedy's wedding dress, to Gullah Geechee sweetgrass basket makers, to the celebrated quilters of Gee's Bend, A Short History of Black Craft in Ten Objects illuminates the work of generations of Black craftspeople, foregrounding their enduring contributions to American craft.

  We are in the era of the Pauls. Love them or hate them, you can't ignore them. Welcome to our Universe. 
  I’ve never personally said the words “F*** the Pauls”... but plenty of people have. My sons have spun this mantra into multimillion dollar empires. To me, it captures the wild and often chaotic era we live in, and how my sons turned some of their biggest losses into their most legendary wins. 
  Before they were stepping into boxing rings, wrestling in the WWE, and breaking the internet with viral stunts, Jake and Logan Paul were just two kids from Ohio with big dreams and a camcorder. As their mother, I’ve seen it all—the highs, the heartbreaks, the headlines, and the hate. Faith in God, unshakable positivity, and a whole lot of resilience haven’t just helped me hold on to hope for my family, they’ve kept me sane in a digital era which is a dangerous place. 
  This is the story of what really happens when your kids become famous overnight, when the internet turns against you, and when you have to hold on for dear life as your kids build empires, battle legends, and redefine entertainment as we know it. 
  Part memoir, part cautionary tale, “F*** the Pauls” is an unfiltered look at our journey—the struggles, the triumphs, and the lessons I’ve learned along the way. So buckle up, because life in the Paul household is anything but boring.

  This New York Times bestseller shares the rich history of the White House grounds, revealing how the story of the garden is also the story of America. The 18-acres surrounding the White House have been an unwitting witness to history—kings and queens have dined there, bills and treaties have been signed, and presidents have landed and retreated. Throughout it all, the grounds have remained not only beautiful, but also a powerful reflection of American trends. In All the Presidents' Gardens bestselling author Marta McDowell tells the untold history of the White House grounds with historical and contemporary photographs, vintage seeds catalogs, and rare glimpses into Presidential pastimes. History buffs will revel in the fascinating tidbits about Lincoln’s goats, Ike's putting green, Jackie's iconic roses, Amy Carter's tree house, and Trump's controversial renovations. Gardeners will enjoy the information on the plants whose favor has come and gone over the years and the gardeners who have been responsible for it all. As one head gardener put it, “What’s great about the job is that our trees, our plants, our shrubs, know nothing about politics.”
