    When our bodies start to feel stiff, sore, or tired, we often say that we're "getting old."

  • My Old Dog: Rescued Pets with Remarkable Second Acts

    National Bestseller“No Dog Should Die Alone" was the attention-grabbing — and heart-stirring — headline of journalist Laura T.

While generally calm, easy, and already house-trained, these animals often represent the highest-risk population at shelters. With gorgeous, joyful photographs and sweet, funny, true tales of “old dogs learning new tricks,” Coffey and Fusaro show that adopting a senior can be even more rewarding than choosing a younger dog.

  • Tailspin: The People and Forces Behind America's Fifty-Year Fall--and Those Fighting to Reverse It

    In this revelatory narrative covering the years 1967 to 2017, Steven Brill gives us a stunningly cogent picture of the broken system at the heart of our society. He shows us how, over the last half century, America’s core values—meritocracy, innovation, due process, free speech, and even democracy itself—have somehow managed to power its decline into dysfunction. They have isolated our best and brightest, whose positions at the top have never been more secure or more remote. The result has been an erosion of responsibility and accountability, an epidemic of shortsightedness, an increasin... [Read More]
