  In Africa Dances Gorer takes the reader on an odyssey across West Africa. He has unique access, travelling as the friend of Féral Benga, one of the great black dance stars of 1930's Paris. It is a devastating critique of colonial rule, which is shown to be destroying African society while Christian missionaries undermine indigenous morality. Africa Dances captures the rich physical and psychological detail of African village life – from food and architecture to dance and magic. Gorer witnesses witch doctors conjuring thunderstorms out of clear blue skies and chameleon fetishists whose skin changes from a dirty white to almost black. This is a place where if you believe, you can.

  Tired of self-help books promising success, happiness, and inner peace? Good. You're holding the only book brave enough to say what you're really thinking: "Why bother?" 
  Welcome to Ruin Your Life Now—the ultimate anti-self-help book for overthinkers, self-saboteurs, and anyone who’s ever looked in the mirror and muttered, “Yikes.” 
  Written by professional over-apologizer and amateur disaster Dicholas Chad Pansy, this brutally sarcastic guide shows you how to weaponize affirmations not for success—but for spectacular failure. Learn to: 
  Attract toxic relationships with the efficiency of a broken dating app 
  Manifest crushing debt and emotional instability 
  Sabotage your job, body, and soul in record time 
  Cultivate spiritual emptiness and repel divine intervention 
  Alienate everyone who ever loved you (or at least tolerated you) 
  Think of it as your daily dose of self-destruction, disguised as a coping mechanism. 
  Packed with toxic affirmations, unnecessary rants, and advice so bad it circles back to genius, Ruin Your Life Now is like a car crash you can’t stop watching—except the car is your life and you’re the one behind the wheel, blindfolded. 
  This is not a guide to healing. 
  This is a how-to manual for becoming the chaotic, emotionally-unstable dumpster fire you were always meant to be. 
  Don’t fix your life. Ruin it. On purpose.

  What really happened to TWA 800? On the twentieth anniversary of the crash, author Jack Cashill reveals shocking new evidence.  
  TWA Flight 800 crashed into the Atlantic shortly after takeoff from JFK Airport on July 17, 1996, killing all 230 passengers on board. Although initial reports suggested a terrorist attack, FBI and NTSB investigators blamed a fuel-tank explosion. But skeptics have long questioned the official story, and new evidence has surfaced that suggests a widespread conspiracy. 
  In TWA 800, historian Jack Cashill introduces new documents and testimonies that reveal the shocking true chain of events, from the disastrous crash to the high-level decision to create a cover story and the attempts to silence anyone who dared speak the truth.

  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.”
