Hardcover. Condition: Good. NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLERGlobe-trotting golfer Tom Coyne has finally come home. And hes ready to play all of it.After playing hundreds of courses overseas in the birthplace of golf, Coyne, the author of A Course Called Ireland and A Course Called Scotland, returns to his own birthplace and delivers a rollicking love letter to golf in the United States.In the span of one unforgettable year, Coyne crisscrosses the country in search of its greatest golf experience, playing every course to ever host a US Open, along with more than two hundred hidden gems and heavyweights, visiting all fifty states to find a better understanding of his home country and countrymen.Coynes journey begins where the US Open and US Amateur got their start, historic Newport Country Club in Rhode Island. As he travels from the oldest and most elite of links to the newest and most democratic, Coyne finagles his way onto coveted first tees (Shinnecock, Oakmont, Chicago GC) between rounds at off-the-map revelations, like ranch golf in Eastern Oregon and homemade golf in the Navajo Nation. He marvels at the golf miracle hidden in the sand hills of Nebraska, and plays an unforgettable midnight game under bright sunshine on the summer solstice in Fairbanks, Alaska.More than just a tour of the best golf the United States has to offer, Coynes quest connects him with hundreds of American golfers, each from a different background but all with one thing in common: pride in welcoming Coyne to their course. Trading stories and swing tips with caddies, pros, and golf buddies for the day, Coyne adopts the wisdom of one of his hosts in Minnesota: the best courses are the ones you play with the best people.But, in the end, only one stop on Coynes journey can be ranked the Great American Golf Course. Throughout his travels, he invites golfers to debate and help shape his criteria for judging the quintessential American course. Should it be charmingly traditional or daringly experimental? An architectural showpiece or a natural wonder? Countless conversations and gut instinct lead him to seek out a course that feels bold and idealistic, welcoming yet imperfect, with a little revolutionary spirit and a damn good hot dog at the turn. He discovers his long-awaited answer in the most unlikely of places.Packed with fascinating tales from American golf history, comic road misadventures, illuminating insights into course design, and many a memorable round with local golfers and celebrity guests alike, A Course Called America is an epic narrative travelogue brimming with heart and soul.

Softcover. Condition: Good. ONE OF BARACK OBAMAS FAVORITE BOOKS OF 2022One of Bill Gatess 5 books to read this summer, this New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestseller shows us that Americas political system isnt broken. The truth is scarier: its working exactly as designed. In this superbly researched (The Washington Post) and timely book, journalist Ezra Klein reveals how that system is polarizing us-and how we are polarizing it-with disastrous results.The American political system-which includes everyone from voters to journalists to the president-is full of rational actors making rational decisions given the incentives they face, writes political analyst Ezra Klein. We are a collection of functional parts whose efforts combine into a dysfunctional whole.A thoughtful, clear and persuasive analysis (The New York Times Book Review), Why Were Polarized reveals the structural and psychological forces behind Americas descent into division and dysfunction. Neither a polemic nor a lament, this book offers a clear framework for understanding everything from Trumps rise to the Democratic Partys leftward shift to the politicization of everyday culture.America is polarized, first and foremost, by identity. Everyone engaged in American politics is engaged, at some level, in identity politics. Over the past fifty years in America, our partisan identities have merged with our racial, religious, geographic, ideological, and cultural identities. These merged identities have attained a weight that is breaking much in our politics and tearing at the bonds that hold this country together.Klein shows how and why American politics polarized around identity in the 20th century, and what that polarization did to the way we see the world and one another. And he traces the feedback loops between polarized political identities and polarized political institutions that are driving our system toward crisis.Well worth reading (New York magazine), this is an eye-opening (O, The Oprah Magazine) book that will change how you look at politics-and perhaps at yourself.

Hardcover. Condition: Good. A sweeping and groundbreaking treasury of the most essential presidential writings, featuring a mix of the beloved and the little-known, from stirring speeches and shrewd remarks to behind-the-scenes drafts and unpublished autobiographies.From the early years of our nations history, when George Washington wrote his humble yet powerful Farewell Address, to our current age, when Barack Obama delivered his moving speech on the fiftieth anniversary of the Selma-to-Montgomery marches, Americas presidents have upheld a tradition of exceptional writing. Now, for the first time, the greatest presidential writings in history are united in one monumental treasury: the very best campaign orations, early autobiographies, presidential speeches, postpresidential reflections, and much more.In these pages, we see not only the words that shaped our nation, like Abraham Lincolns Emancipation Proclamation and Franklin D. Roosevelts Infamy speech, but also the words of young politicians claiming their place in our history, including excerpts from Woodrow Wilsons Congressional Government and Obamas career-making convention speech, and the words of mature leaders reflecting on their legacies, including John Adamss autobiography and Harry S. Trumans Memoirs. We even see hidden sides of the presidents that the public rarely glimpses: noted outdoorsman Teddy Roosevelts great passion for literature or sunny Ronald Reagans piercing childhood memories of escorting home his alcoholic father.Encompassing notable favorites like Lincolns Gettysburg Address and John F. Kennedys Inaugural Address as well as lesser-known texts like Thomas Jeffersons Notes on the State of Virginia and James Polks candid White House diary, The Best Presidential Writing showcases Americas presidents as thinkers, citizens, and leaders.More than simply a curation of must-read presidential writings, this unique collection presents the story of America itself, told by its highest leaders. Even the most famous speeches find new meanings or fresh connections when read in this sweeping context, making The Best Presidential Writing a trove full of insight and an essential historical document.

Hardcover. Condition: Good. NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLERThe oldest cultures in the world have mastered the art of raising happy, well-adjusted children. What can we learn from them?Hunt, Gather, Parent is full of smart ideas that I immediately wanted to force on my own kids. -Pamela Druckerman, The New York Times Book ReviewWhen Dr. Michaeleen Doucleff becomes a mother, she examines the studies behind modern parenting guidance and finds the evidence frustratingly limited and often ineffective. Curious to learn about more effective parenting approaches, she visits a Maya village in the Yucatán Peninsula. There she encounters moms and dads who parent in a totally different way than we do-and raise extraordinarily kind, generous, and helpful children without yelling, nagging, or issuing timeouts. What else, Doucleff wonders, are Western parents missing out on?In Hunt, Gather, Parent, Doucleff sets out with her three-year-old daughter in tow to learn and practice parenting strategies from families in three of the worlds most venerable communities: Maya families in Mexico, Inuit families above the Arctic Circle, and Hadzabe families in Tanzania. She sees that these cultures dont have the same problems with children that Western parents do. Most strikingly, parents build a relationship with young children that is vastly different from the one many Western parents develop-its built on cooperation instead of control, trust instead of fear, and personalized needs instead of standardized development milestones.Maya parents are masters at raising cooperative children. Without resorting to bribes, threats, or chore charts, Maya parents rear loyal helpers by including kids in household tasks from the time they can walk. Inuit parents have developed a remarkably effective approach for teaching children emotional intelligence. When kids cry, hit, or act out, Inuit parents respond with a calm, gentle demeanor that teaches children how to settle themselves down and think before acting. Hadzabe parents are experts on raising confident, self-driven kids with a simple tool that protects children from stress and anxiety, so common now among American kids.Not only does Doucleff live with families and observe their methods firsthand, she also applies them with her own daughter, with striking results. She learns to discipline without yelling. She talks to psychologists, neuroscientists, anthropologists, and sociologists and explains how these strategies can impact childrens mental health and development. Filled with practical takeaways that parents can implement immediately, Hunt, Gather, Parent helps us rethink the ways we relate to our children, and reveals a universal parenting paradigm adapted for American families.

Hardcover. Condition: New. Trade myths, busted and debunked, with the help of six surprising everyday goods-the taco salad, the Honda Odyssey, the banana, the iPhone, the college degree, and the blockbuster HBO series Game of ThronesTrade allows us to sell what we produce at home and purchase what we dont. It lowers prices and gives us greater variety and innovation. Yet understanding our place in the global trade network is rarely so simple, and todays workers are wary of being taken advantage of. Trade has become an easy excuse for struggling economies, a scapegoat for our failures to adapt to a changing world, and-for many Americans on both the right and the left-nothing short of a four-letter word.But as Fred P. Hochberg reminds us, trade is easier to understand than we commonly think. In Trade Is Not a Four-Letter Word, youll learn how NAFTA became a populist punching bag on both sides of the aisle. Youll learn how Americans can avoid the grim specter of the $10 banana. And youll finally discover the truth about whether or not, as President Trump once famously tweeted, trade wars are good and easy to win. (Spoiler alert-they arent.)Hochberg unravels the mysteries of trade by pulling back the curtain on six everyday products, each with a surprising story to tell: the taco salad, the Honda Odyssey, the banana, the iPhone, the college degree, and the smash hit HBO series Game of Thrones. Behind these six examples are stories that help explain not only how trade has shaped our lives so far but also how we can use trade to build a better future for our own families, for America, and for the world. There is no going back.Trade Is Not a Four-Letter Word is the antidote to todays acronym-laden trade jargon pitched to voters with simple promises that rarely play out so one-dimensionally. Its time to read between the lines. Packed with colorful examples and highly digestible explanations, Trade Is Not a Four-Letter Word entertains as it dispels popular misconceptions and arms readers with a thorough grasp of the basics of trade.

Hardcover. Condition: New. While todays business world is dominated by technology and data analysis, award-winning financial journalist and anthropology PhD Gillian Tett advocates thinking like an anthropologist to better understand consumer behavior, markets, and organizations to address some of societys most urgent challenges.Amid severe digital disruption, economic upheaval, and political flux, how can we make sense of the world? Leaders today typically look for answers in economic models, Big Data, or artificial intelligence platforms. Gillian Tett points to anthropology-the study of human culture. Anthropologists learn to get inside the minds of other people, helping them not only to understand other cultures but also to appraise their own environment with fresh perspective as an insider-outsider, gaining lateral vision.Today, anthropologists are more likely to study Amazon warehouses than remote Amazon tribes; they have done research into institutions and companies such as General Motors, Nestlé, Intel, and more, shedding light on practical questions such as how internet users really define themselves; why corporate projects fail; why bank traders miscalculate losses; how companies sell products like pet food and pensions; why pandemic policies succeed (or not). Anthropology makes the familiar seem unfamiliar and vice versa, giving us badly needed three-dimensional perspective in a world where many executives are plagued by tunnel vision, especially in fields like finance and technology.Fascinating and surprising (Fareed Zararia, CNN), Anthro-Vision offers a revolutionary new way for understanding the behavior of organizations, individuals, and markets in todays ever-evolving world.

Softcover. Condition: New. Reissue. NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER * WALL STREET JOURNAL BESTSELLER *WASHINGTON POST BESTSELLER *Andy Borowitz, one of the funniest people in America (CBS Sunday Morning), brilliantly chronicles our embrace of anti-intellectualism (Walter Isaacson) in American politics, from Ronald Reagan to Dan Quayle, from George W. Bush to Sarah Palin, to its apotheosis in Donald J. Trump.Andy Borowitz has been called a Swiftian satirist (The Wall Street Journal) and one of the countrys finest satirists (The New York Times). Millions of fans and New Yorker readers enjoy his satirical news column The Borowitz Report. Now, in Profiles in Ignorance, he delivers a wittily alarming polemic that tracks the evolution of American politics from grounds for gravitas to festival of idiocy (The New York Times).Borowitz argues that over the past fifty years, American politicians have grown increasingly allergic to knowledge, and mass media have encouraged the election of ignoramuses by elevating candidates who are better at performing than thinking. Starting with Ronald Reagans first campaign for governor of California in 1966 and culminating with the election of Donald J. Trump to the White House, Borowitz shows how, during the age of twenty-four-hour news and social media, the US has elected politicians to positions of great power whose lack of the most basic information is terrifying. In addition to Reagan, Quayle, Bush, Palin, and Trump, Borowitz covers a host of congresspersons, senators, and governors who have helped lower the bar over the past five decades.Profiles in Ignorance aims to make us both laugh and cry: laugh at the idiotic antics of these public figures, and cry at the cataclysms these icons of ignorance have caused. But most importantly, the book delivers a call to action and a cause for optimism: History doesnt move in a straight line, and we can change course if we act now.

Hardcover. Condition: New. Andrew Sullivan, one of the most influential journalists of the last three decades (The New York Times) andfounding editor of The Daily Dish presents a collection of 60 his most iconic and powerful essays of social and political commentary from The New Republic, The Atlantic, The New York Times Magazine, New York magazine, and more.Over the course of his career, Andrew Sullivan has never shied away from staking out bold positions on social and political issues. A fiercely independent conservative, in 1989 he wrote the first national cover story in favor of marriage equality, and then an essay, The Politics of Homosexuality, in The New Republic in 1993, an article called the most consequential of the decade in the gay rights movement. A pioneer of online journalism, he started blogging in 2000 and helped define the new medium with his blog, The Daily Dish. In 2007, he was one of the first political writers to champion the presidential campaign of Barack Obama, and his cover story for The Atlantic, Why Obama Matters, was seen as a milestone in that campaigns messaging. In the past five years, he has proved a vocal foe both of Donald Trump and of wokeness on the left. Loved and loathed by both left and right, Sullivan is in a tribe of one.Bold, timely, and thought-provoking, this collection of trenchant observations from an influential journalist (Kirkus Reviews) on culture, politics, religion, and philosophy demonstrates why he continues to be ranked among the most intriguing and important public intellectuals in US media.

Hardcover. Condition: Good. 1. NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER * MORE THAN ONE MILLION COPIES SOLDA provocative read.There are few tomes that coherently map such broad economic histories as well as Mr. Dalios. Perhaps more unusually, Mr. Dalio has managed to identify metrics from that history that can be applied to understand today. -Andrew Ross Sorkin, The New York TimesFrom legendary investor Ray Dalio, author of the #1 New York Times bestseller Principles, who has spent half a century studying global economies and markets, Principles for Dealing with the Changing World Order examines historys most turbulent economic and political periods to reveal why the times ahead will likely be radically different from those weve experienced in our lifetimes-and to offer practical advice on how to navigate them well.A few years ago, Ray Dalio noticed a confluence of political and economic conditions he hadnt encountered before. They included huge debts and zero or near-zero interest rates that led to massive printing of money in the worlds three major reserve currencies; big political and social conflicts within countries, especially the US, due to the largest wealth, political, and values disparities in more than 100 years; and the rising of a world power (China) to challenge the existing world power (US) and the existing world order. The last time that this confluence occurred was between 1930 and 1945. This realization sent Dalio on a search for the repeating patterns and cause/effect relationships underlying all major changes in wealth and power over the last 500 years.In this remarkable and timely addition to his Principles series, Dalio brings readers along for his study of the major empires-including the Dutch, the British, and the American-putting into perspective the Big Cycle that has driven the successes and failures of all the worlds major countries throughout history. He reveals the timeless and universal forces behind these shifts and uses them to look into the future, offering practical principles for positioning oneself for whats ahead.

Softcover. Condition: New. Kalman, Maira (illustrator). One of Wall Street Journals Ten Best Books of the Year * Winner of the National Jewish Book Awards for Holocaust Memoir and Sephardic Culture * Recipient of the Jewish Book Councils Natan Notable Book Award * Winner of the Sophie Brody MedalThe remarkable story of ninety-nine-year-old Stella Levi whose conversations with the author over the course of six years bring to life the vibrant world of Jewish Rhodes, the deportation to Auschwitz that extinguished ninety percent of her community, and the resilience and wisdom of the woman who lived to tell the tale.With nearly a century of life behind her, Stella Levi had never before spoken in detail about her past. Then she met Michael Frank. He came to her Greenwich Village apartment one Saturday afternoon to ask her a question about the Juderia, the neighborhood on the Greek island of Rhodes where shed grown up in a Jewish community that had thrived there for half a millennium.Neither of them could know this was the first of one hundred Saturdays over the course of six years that they would spend in each others company. During these meetings Stella traveled back in time to conjure what it felt like to come of age on this luminous, legendary island in the eastern Aegean, which the Italians conquered in 1912, began governing as an official colonial possession in 1923, and continued to administer even after the Germans seized control in September 1943. The following July, the Germans rounded up all 1,700-plus residents of the Juderia and sent them first by boat and then by train to Auschwitz on what was the longest journey-measured by both time and distance-of any of the deportations. Ninety percent of them were murdered upon arrival.Probing and courageous, candid and sly, Stella is a magical modern-day Scheherazade whose stories reveal what it was like to grow up in an extraordinary place in an extraordinary time-and to construct a life after that place has vanished. One Hundred Saturdays is a portrait of one of the last survivors drawn at nearly the last possible moment, as well as an account of a tender and transformative friendship between storyteller and listener, offering a powerful reminder that the ability to listen thoughtfully is a rare and significant gift (The Wall Street Journal).
