“Incisive . . . Tabery is a penetrating critic, positing that research on personalized drugs takes up an oversize share of funding because it’s more profitable than investigating environmental determinants of health. . . . This damning take on scientific bias is not to be missed.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review)

“Maxine Eichner's powerful new book shows how a policy approach grounded in free-market fantasies has made it harder to raise kids than in almost any rich nation-and how that can and must change." —Jacob S. Hacker, Stanley B. Resor Professor of Political Science, Yale University

"Liz Carlisle gets to the heart of the matter: You can’t have good farming or good food without social justice, and social justice is inextricably tied to race and land reform…. As important a ‘food’ book as we’ve seen." —Mark Bittman, author of Animal, Vegetable, Junk

"Wondrous . . . [A] sense of the erratic and tangential quality of everyday life."
―Hua Hsu, The New Yorker

“Italo Calvino’s sensibility echoes in the volume’s radiant prose . . . An intimate and insightful chronicle of exploration and revelation.” —Kirkus Reviews (Starred Review)

"The first openly gay woman to complete the Seven Summits and the first Peruvian woman to summit Everest ― Vasquez-Lavado’s memoir is many things. It is an adventure saga of her ascent of Everest; a vulnerable meditation on her childhood in Peru; and the tale of an immigrant’s journey to the United States."
―The New York Times

“Wortman opens a window into the life of an intellectual titan disdainful of nearly everything except scientific honesty, his adopted nation, and the power of the atom.” —Jonathan W. Jordan, Wall Street Journal

"Carrère has managed to renovate the idea of what nonfiction writing can be. Profoundly intimate, historically and philosophically serious but able to cast compulsive narrative spells." ―Wyatt Mason, The New York Times Magazine

One of NPR's Best Books of 2016

“The further you go on in the book, and the more of Kaag’s skillful miniatures you take in, the deeper it becomes . . . a spirited lover’s quarrel with the individualism and solipsism in our national thought.” ―Mark Greif, The New York Times Book Review

"I never played the games Clune devotes most of his attention to, but his voice makes their obsolete rituals come alive: Sometimes he sounds like a thriller writer, sometimes an art critic, sometimes a poet."
―Christian Lorentzen, Vulture

"Sharply argued, knottily intelligent, darkly funny"
―Jennifer Schuessler, The New York Times

“[Zach Mason] writes with a mathematical precision that often crystallizes into lines of clean, poetic beauty."
―Sam Sacks, The Wall Street Journal

"In this exciting book, Morrow . . . provides a radical new translation and a line-by-line exegesis." ―The New Yorker

"Surreal, intellectually rigorous, and brief. [Øyehaug] sometimes resembles Lydia Davis . . .she can produce stabs of emotion, unexpected ghost notes of feeling, from pieces so short and offbeat that they seem at first like aborted arias." ―James Wood, The New Yorker

"By using [Bellamy's] unlikely ascent as a prism, Ms. Stein brings to vibrant life a corner of the culture that was as outrageous as it was visually revolutionary."
―Ann Landi The Wall Street Journal

"Roberts pinpoints a familiar malaise in his protagonist . . . I could listen to this voice all day. It’s as if it belongs to a friend I grew up with, or someone I met at a bar, or found counting lampposts in my hometown― strangely familiar and wise beyond his years."
―Amy Silverberg, Los Angeles Review of Books

"A captivating account of how Bialik's poetry was amplified by a 'rich orchestration of citations from, references to, and resonances of a wealth of Jewish sources, spanning the Hebrew Bible, the Mishnah, and the Jewish prayer book.”
―Benjamin Balint, The Wall Street Journal

“The genius of Listening to Stone is how its author, Hayden Herrera, inhabits the sculpturing hand of its subject. Rather than focus on the surface, Herrera gets 'beneath the skin,' as Noguchi would say, to the 'brilliance of matter' . . . [An] elegant account.” ―James Panero, The New York Times Book Review

"[An] engrossing biography . . . Wright comes through vividly on almost every page . . . Literary biography at its fine-grained finest."

"[Scheinman] charmingly narrates his dabblings among the “secret society” of Jane Austen fans in this lively debut that blurs the lines between literary criticism, memoir, ode to superfandom, and digestible biography . . . A candid and immensely pleasing romp." ―Leah Angstman, Los Angeles Review of Books

“This is a brilliantly realized treatment of what it means to be a citizen . . . Finding a Place to Stand uses cutting-edge behavioral science, clear and cogent story-telling, and a deep understanding of the human condition.”
―Admiral James Stavridis, Dean, The Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy,Tufts University (2013–2018)
