Transport your glass around the globe with more than 75 cocktail recipes from one of the world's premier bartenders.Grab your glass and let's go! For over 20 years, Lauren Mote has tended bars and traveled the world, often as one of the only women in a male-dominated industry. She's developed cocktail recipes, sought out new ingredients, and gathered stories along the way. Now, in her first book, Lauren is inviting readers and home bartenders to pack their suitcases and come with her on an international cocktail adventure. Few bartenders can match Lauren's encyclopedic knowledge of spirits, liqueurs, and tinctures, not to mention her originality for blending them into a perfectly-balanced drink. Once you've gotten a handle on the basics of bartending, and gathered your cocktail shaker along with a few other pieces of equipment, you'll be raising your glass in no time. The recipes are organized by their star ingredients, such as agave, gin, whiskey, rum, vodka, and more. Every drink is given its own designation of standard, mid, low, or zero proof, and you'll find a whole chapter on nonalcoholic cocktails, because Lauren feels strongly that all drinks should be prepared with care, whether they include alcohol or not. Once you've narrowed down the base that you're in the mood for, let Lauren's magnetic storytelling and gift of the gab continue to guide you. In each chapter, you'll find a collection of Mise en Place Recipes to help you build up your bar's basic ingredients and make Lauren's techniques your own. With beautiful storytelling and photography, and cocktail recipes you won't find elsewhere, A Bartender's Guide to the World is as much a pleasure to read as it is to imbibe from.

"An ambitious chief of staff is torn between love and politics when she falls hard for her biggest rival in this swoonworthy romance from the author of Getting His Game Back Isadora Maris loves her job. And she's damn good at it. After nearly a decade in state politics, stonewalling senators and aggressive lobbyists are no match for her diplomacy and unflappable commitment to her principles. If all goes according to plan, she'll be managing her boss's successful race for U.S. representative and finally fulfilling her dream: congressional aide in Washington, D.C., where she can really make a difference. But Isadora's cool professionalism is knocked off kilter when she meets Karim Sarda, the newly-hired legislative director of her boss's biggest political rival-and the biggest pain in her neck. He's gorgeous, brilliant, and seems to share many of her ideals. So why's he working for the California senate's most notorious jerk? Given their bosses' fierce political rivalry despite being on the same side of the aisle, Isadora deems Karim off limits, despite the heat she feels whenever he's in the room. Her fear of tarnishing her reputation by flirting with the enemy is compounded by the fact that she was taught to believe nothing she ever did was good enough. Karim knows that struggle all too well: He's still processing the wounds left by his former marriage. As the late nights working together on an ambitious healthcare bill add up, both start to realize that maybe their biggest rival might also be the one who knows-and loves-them best"--

"Having worked as a nurse, a pastor, and a community organizer in St. Louis Missouri, Cori Bush hadn't initially intended to run for political office. But when protests in Ferguson erupted in 2014, Bush found herself on the frontlines, providing medical care and protesting violence against Black lives. Encouraged by community leaders to run for office, and compelled by an urgency to prevent her children and others from becoming social media hashtags, Bush campaigned persistently while navigating myriad personal challenges--and ultimately rose to unseat a twenty-year incumbent to become the first Black woman to represent her state in Congress."--

Independence: the freedom to be yourself-or a day for fireworks, depending on your point of view Summer has come to Chapel Isle, the quaintly quirky island that Abigail Harker has called home since she moved into the caretaker's cottage at the local lighthouse. The season ushers in sweltering temperatures, along with throngs of tourists who are turning the sleepy town into pandemonium. The world Abigail fled after tragedy struck is descending upon her doorstep, and she isn't sure she can stand the heat.

Amid the swarm of vacationers, it's hard to tell harmless visitors from those harboring dark intentions. As Independence Day nears, Abigail must decide: Should she stay on Chapel Isle-risking another heartbreak and even her own safety-or allow the ghosts of her past and the dangers of the present to chase her away?

A revelatory investigation into how America is failing its children, and an urgent manifesto on why helping them is the best way to improve all of our lives—from the New York Times bestselling author of Unfair: The New Science of Criminal Injustice “Compelling . . . an extremely sympathetic and worthy attempt to protect kids . . . [Benforado] has written a book that reads like a manifesto. His ideas are bold, to the point, and ambitious.”—The Atlantic At the dawn of the twentieth century, a bright new age for children appeared on the horizon, with progress on ending child labor, providing public education, combating indigence, promoting wellness, and creating a juvenile justice system. But a hundred years on, the promised light has not arrived. Today, more than eleven million American children live in poverty and more than four million lack health insurance. Each year, we prosecute thousands of kids as adults, while our schools crumble. We deny young people any political power, while we fail to act on the issues that matter most to them: racism, inequality, and climate change.Through unforgettable stories, law professor Adam Benforado draws a vivid portrait of our neglect. We are there when Ariel is placed in an orphanage after her parents are locked away for transporting marijuana, when Harold first gazes in disbelief upon the immaculate lawn of an elite private school after a childhood of asphalt play yards, when Wylie is hit with a paddle by his public-school principal as punishment for taking a moment of silence to protest gun violence. When Tyler runs for governor at age seventeen, we are also there to witness the extraordinary capacities of young people.Our disregard for children’s rights is not simply a moral problem; it’s also an economic and social one. The root cause of nearly every major challenge we face—from crime to poor health to unemployment—can be found in our mistreatment of kids. But in that sobering truth is also the key to changing our fate as a nation.Drawing on the latest research on the value of early intervention, investment, and empowerment, A Minor Revolution makes the urgent case for putting children first—in our budgets and policies, in how we develop products and enact laws, and in our families and communities. Childhood is the window of opportunity for all of us.

A searing, lyrical self-portrait by the maverick Grammy Award-winning singer/songwriter, a Southern Gothic story of passion, violence, and music as salvation.Shelby Lynne Moorer grew up in south Alabama, in Frankville, "not really a town, more of a zip code." Her parents were musically gifted and imparted their talent and discerning taste to Shelby and her younger sister, Allison. But they were also locked in a violent, volatile struggle. Her father's explosive rage and physical abuse, fueled by alcohol, culminated in a horrific act: in the pre-dawn hours of August,1986, Franklin Moorer came to the house where his wife had finally fled months before with the two girls in tow, shot her on the front lawn and then turned the gun on himself, while the girls were asleep in their beds. Shelby was 17; her sister just 14. Music, for Shelby, was the only way out. She'd dreamed of being a country star since she was a little girl, performing in local singing contests, harmonizing with her mother and sister in the car, speeding down the highway, studying albums and fraying videocassettes of Nancy Wilson, Quincy Jones, Dusty Springfield, Johnny Cash, and country legends. GUNPOWDER is an indelible, brutal, and lyrical self-portrait of the maverick artist, a rebel who never fit the Nashville mold, who blazed her own path and, not without pain and regret, forged her own identity. This short, powerful memoir is framed by the inexorable tragedy that defined her early life and the iconic record, I Am Shelby Lynne, for which she won the Grammy for Best New Artist (6 albums and 13 years into her career), and allowed her to feel, at last, like herself.

"A woman investigating her brother's apparent suicide finds herself falling for her prime suspect--his darkly mysterious girlfriend--in this edgy Southern gothic thriller. 'Get it out of me.' It was the last message Holly received from her brother, Dane, before he was found cleaved open in his fiancâee's lavish Savannah townhouse. Police ruled his death a suicide sparked by psychosis, but Holly can't shake the idea that something else must have happened... Something involving another message he sent that night, the one that mentioned a 'game' his fiancâee, Maura, wanted to play... Determined to discover the truth, Holly begins to stalk Maura--a magnetic, black-eyed florist with a penchant for carnivorous plants. But what begins as an investigation quickly veers into a darker fixation, one that lures Holly into the depths of Maura's world: Savannah high society, eerie black roses, and a whisper of something more sinister. Soon, Holly is feeling a dark attraction to the one woman she shouldn't trust. As Holly falls deeper for Maura and her secrets, she's left with only one choice: find out what happened to Dane... before she meets the same fate"--

"The groundbreaking classic novel of the Black experience in America, with an introduction by Henry Louis Gates, Jr. First published anonymously in 1912, this novel gave many white readers their first glimpse of the double standard--and double consciousness--that ruled the lives of Black people in America. Republished in 1927, at the height of the Harlem Renaissance, with an introduction by Carl Van Vechten, The Autobiography of an Ex-Colored Man emerged as a groundbreaking document of African-American culture and an eloquent model for later novelists ranging from Zora Neale Hurston to Richard Wright and Ralph Ellison. Narrated by a man whose light skin enables him to pass for white, the novel describes a journey through the strata of Black society at the turn of the century--from a cigar factory in Jacksonville to an elite gambling club in New York, from genteel aristocrats to the musicians who hammered out the rhythms of ragtime. The Autobiography of an Ex-Colored Man is a complex and moving examination of the question of race and an unsparing look at what it meant to forge an identity as a man in a culture that recognized nothing but color"--
