From the New York Times bestselling authors of The Nazi Conspiracy comes a true, little-known story about the first assassination attempt on John F. Kennedy, right before his inauguration. Kennedy was infamously assassinated in 1963, putting an end to his historic presidency. But what most people don't know is that JFK's story almost ended before it began-at the hands of a disgruntled sociopathic loner armed with dynamite. On December 11, 1960, shortly after Kennedy's election and before his inauguration, a retired postal worker named Richard Pavlick waited in his car-a parked Buick-on a quiet street in Palm Beach, Florida. Pavlick knew when Kennedy would leave his house and where he was going. From there, Pavlick had a simple plan-one that could've changed the course of history. Written in the page-turning style that is the hallmark of Brad Meltzer and Josh Mensch's bestselling series, this is a slice of history vividly brought to life. Meltzer and Mensch are at the top of their game with this brilliant exploration of what could've been for one of the most compelling leaders of the 20th century.

We hear frog calls through the night, spot butterflies miles into the ocean, see the churning of longshore currents, and meditate on worms' composting abilities.

Intertidal asks us to reimagine values to live by; heeding the natural world, attending to the climate's calling, and moving away from the old political and cultural values that have proven ecologically disastrous. Set in beaches, marshes, and the wild places of the mind, Intertidal revels in the healing power of nature and explores what it means to reclaim an ecology that has been colonised.

A feminist history of Europe's largest red-light district and an examination of the lives of the women who worked there. The existence of Monto - Europe's biggest red-light district from 1860 to 1925 with up to 1600 sex workers at any one time - is not a secret, but what happened to the women at the end of their lives and after death is less clear. This account balances the historical origins of Monto, its expansion during the 1860s, the role of the British Army in providing the majority of customer and many other key moments in its 65-year span with an investigation into the inhumane and heartbreaking reality of the treatment of the women that worked there. West explores the stigma the ladies of Monto endured, the claims that women who were no longer able to work were incarcerated in mental hospitals, and statements that the bodies of these working women were sent to the local glue factory instead of being buried among 'decent' people. This eloquent and moving investigation examines oral histories, historical records, historical maps, and literature to try to piece together the fate of the women and girls who worked in Monto, and to shine a light on their realities.
