Lifespan: Why We Age and Why We Don’t Have To David A Sinclair; Matthew D LaPlante; Catherine Delphia Simon and Schuster, Simon & Schuster, New York, NY, 2019

A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER "Brilliant and enthralling." —The Wall Street Journal A paradigm-shifting book from an acclaimed Harvard Medical School scientist and one of Time 's most influential people. It's a seemingly undeniable truth that aging is inevitable. But what if everything we've been taught to believe about aging is wrong? What if we could choose our lifespan? In this groundbreaking book, Dr. David Sinclair, leading world authority on genetics and longevity, reveals a bold new theory for why we age. As he writes: "Aging is a disease, and that disease is treatable." This eye-opening and provocative work takes us to the frontlines of research that is pushing the boundaries on our perceived scientific limitations, revealing incredible breakthroughs—many from Dr. David Sinclair's own lab at Harvard—that demonstrate how we can slow down, or even reverse, aging. The key is activating newly discovered vitality genes, the descendants of an ancient genetic survival circuit that is both the cause of aging and the key to reversing it. Recent experiments in genetic reprogramming suggest that in the near future we may not just be able to feel younger, but actually become younger. Through a page-turning narrative, Dr. Sinclair invites you into the process of scientific discovery and reveals the emerging technologies and simple lifestyle changes—such as intermittent fasting, cold exposure, exercising with the right intensity, and eating less meat—that have been shown to help us live younger and healthier for longer. At once a roadmap for taking charge of our own health destiny and a bold new vision for the future of humankind, Lifespan will forever change the way we think about why we age and what we can do about it.

A Promise to Kill: A Clyde Barr Novel (2) Erik Storey Scribner, Clyde Barr, 2, First Scribner hardcover edition, New York, 2017

From the author dubbed by Jeffery Deaver “a born storyteller” whose first novel Nothing Short of Dying was hailed as “exceptional,” “a rollercoaster read,” and “adrenaline-fueled” by publications on both sides of the Atlantic, this is Erik Storey’s next entry in the Clyde Barr series, a locomotive-paced brawler that has its hero teaming with besieged members of a Native American reservation to thwart outlaw bikers who are putting hundreds of thousands of lives at risk. Clyde Barr, the drifter with lethal skills, is alone again, wandering the highways of the American West in search of something to believe in. As summer turns to autumn, he trades his car for a horse and heads for the mountains, planning to clear his head and regain his edge with some hunting. But when he runs across an elderly sick man—a Ute Indian from a nearby reservation—Clyde’s dream of solitude is quickly dashed. On the reservation, Clyde finds the old man’s daughter, Lawana, and grandson, Taylor, as well as a group of menacing bikers called Reapers running wild in the economically depressed, half-abandoned village. Gripped by the desire to do good in a hard world, Clyde offers to stay on Lawana’s ranch to help out until her father is released from the hospital. He controls himself around the bikers, even when he sees them harass a few Native American women—but when the Reapers attack a local boy Clyde has to do something. As tensions rise between the locals and the Reapers, Clyde’s efforts to protect the reservation become a fight for his, Lawana’s, and Taylor’s lives. And then the stakes ratchet up even more. In the remote Utah desert, surrounded by enemies, with no law enforcement presence, and with communication effectively cut off, Clyde must find a way to save his new friends, defeat the gang, and, hopefully, escape with his own skin intact. A Promise to Kill is an edge-of-the-seat thriller, pushing its no-hold-barred hero to new levels of improvisation and bare-knuckled blunt force.

[( A Man Called Ove - Large Print By Backman, Fredrik ( Author ) Hardcover Oct - 2014)] Hardcover Fredrik Backman Atria Books, 2014-01-01

A grumpy yet loveable man finds his solitary world turned on its head when a boisterous young family moves in next door. Meet Ove. He's a curmudgeon, the kind of man who points at people he dislikes as if they were burglars caught outside his bedroom window. He has staunch principles, strict routines, and a short fuse. People call him the bitter neighbor from hell, but must Ove be bitter just because he doesn't walk around with a smile plastered to his face all the time? Behind the cranky exterior there is a story and a sadness. So when one November morning a chatty young couple with two chatty young daughters move in next door and accidentally flatten Ove's mailbox, it is the lead-in to a comical and heartwarming tale of unkempt cats, unexpected friendship, and the ancient art of backing up a U-Haul. All of which will change one cranky old man and a local residents' association to their very foundations. (Previous notes): Loved this book (translation from Swedish). Quirky story of a curmudgeon which is also a film (with English subtitles) on Netflix. Backman is a successful journalist, author, and blogger. Also enjoyed ‘Britt-Marie Was Here’ and I look forward to checking out his latest new release.

In the twelfth novel from #1 New York Times bestselling author Kathy Reichs, forensic anthropologist Temperance Brennan finds herself buried alive after being accused of mishandling the autopsy of a Canadian heiress.There are 206 bones in the human body.

Unsure of where she is, Tempe slowly begins to work out what has happened... When the body of a missing heiress was discovered, Temperance Brennan and Lieutenant Ryan accompanied the remains from Montreal to the Chicago morgue.

Golden Handcuffs: The Trump Women: Part of the Deal Nina Burleigh Gallery Books, New York, 2018

New York Times bestselling author and award-winning journalist, Nina Burleigh, explores Donald Trump's attitudes toward women by providing in-depth analysis and background on the women who have had the most profound influence on his life—the mother and grandmother who raised him, the wives who lived with him, and the daughter who is poised to inherit it all. Has any president in the history of the United States had a more fraught relationship with women than Donald Trump? He flagrantly cheated on all three of his wives, brushed off multiple accusations of sexual assault, publicly ogled his eldest daughter, bought the silence of a porn star and a Playmate, and proclaimed his now-infamous seduction technique: "grab 'em by the pussy." Golden Handcuffs is a comprehensive and provocative account of the women who have been closest to Trump—his German-immigrant grandmother, Elizabeth, the uncredited founder of the Trump Organization; his Scottish-immigrant mother, Mary, who acquired a taste for wealth as a maid in the Andrew Carnegie mansion; his wives—Ivana, Marla, and Melania (the first and third of whom are immigrants); and his eldest daughter, Ivanka, groomed to take over the Trump brand from a young age. Also examined are Trump's two older sisters, one of whom is a prominent federal judge; his often-overlooked younger daughter, Tiffany; his female employees; and those he calls "liars"—the women who have accused him of sexual misconduct. Of these women, Burleigh writes, " where they come from and what they do now and in the future matters because they have or have had the ear of the most powerful man on earth. "

Finders keepers : a novel Stephen King Simon and Schuster, Canadian export edition, New York, 2016

A masterful, intensely suspenseful novel about a reader whose obsession with a reclusive writer goes much too far—the #1 New York Times bestseller about the power of storytelling, starring the same trio of unlikely and winning heroes Stephen King introduced in Mr. Mercedes. “Wake up, genius.” So begins King’s instantly riveting story about a vengeful reader. The genius is John Rothstein, an iconic author who created a famous character, Jimmy Gold, but who hasn’t published a book for decades. Morris Bellamy is livid, not just because Rothstein has stopped providing books, but because the nonconformist Jimmy Gold has sold out for a career in advertising. Morris kills Rothstein and empties his safe of cash, yes, but the real treasure is a trove of notebooks containing at least one more Gold novel. Morris hides the money and the notebooks, and then he is locked away for another crime. Decades later, a boy named Pete Saubers finds the treasure, and now it is Pete and his family that Bill Hodges, Holly Gibney, and Jerome Robinson must rescue from the ever-more deranged and vengeful Morris when he’s released from prison after thirty-five years. Not since Misery has King played with the notion of a reader whose obsession with a writer gets dangerous. Finders Keepers is spectacular, heart-pounding suspense, but it is also King writing about how literature shapes a life—for good, for bad, forever.

lgli/Bradley Garrett - Bunker: Building for the End Times (2020, Scribner).mobi

Bunker : building for the end times Garrett, Bradley L Scribner, First Scribner hardcover edition, New York, 2020

“A kind of apocalyptic Super Size Me” (The Guardian) that is both “page turning and thoughtful” (Financial Times) about “prepper” communities around the world that are building fortresses against an array of threats. Currently, 3.7 million Americans call themselves preppers. Millions more prep without knowing it. Bradley Garrett, who began writing this book years before the 2020 Covid-19 pandemic, argues that prepping is a rational response to global, social, and political systems that are failing to produce credible narratives of continued stability. Left with a sense of foreboding fueled by disease outbreaks, increasing government dysfunctionality, eroding critical infrastructure, nuclear brinksmanship, and an accelerating climate crisis, people all over the world are responding predictably—by hunkering down. Garrett traveled across four continents to meet those who are constructing panic rooms, building underground backyard survival chambers, stockpiling supplies, preparing go bags, hiding inflatable rafts, rigging mobile “bugout” vehicles, and burrowing deep into the earth. He has returned with “a big-thinking, deep-diving, page-turning study of fear, privilege, and apocalypse” (Robert Macfarlane, author of Underland) from the frontlines of the way we live now: an illuminating reflection on our age of disquiet and dread that brings our times into new and sharper focus. With scenes that are “fascinating, amusing, crazy, chilling, and surreally topical” (Douglas Preston, author of Lost City of the Monkey God), Garrett shows that the bunker is all around us: in malls, airports, gated communities, the vehicles we drive. Most of all, he reveals, it’s in our minds.

Then, in a moment of carelessness, Halleck commits vehicular manslaughter when he strikes a jaywalking old woman crossing the street. But Halleck has some powerful local connections, and gets off with a slap on the wrist...much to the fury of the woman’s mysterious and ancient father, who exacts revenge with a single word: “Thinner.” Now a terrified Halleck finds the weight once so difficult to shed dropping effortlessly—and rapidly—by the week. Soon there will be nothing left of Billy Halleck...unless he can somehow locate the source of his living nightmare and reverse what’s happened to him before he utterly wastes away... --back cover

Lie with me : a Novel Philippe Besson, Molly Ringwald, Philippe Besson Scribner, Place of publication not identified, 2019

"I remember the movement of his hips pressing against the pinball machine. This one sentence had me in its grip until the end. Two young men find each other, always fearing that life itself might be the villain standing in their way. A stunning and heart-gripping tale." —André Aciman, author of Call Me by Your Name A New York Times Book Review Editor's Choice The critically acclaimed, internationally beloved novel by Philippe Besson—"this year's Call Me By Your Name " ( Vulture ) with raves in The New York Times , The New Yorker , The Wall Street Journal , NPR, Vanity Fair , Vogue , O, The Oprah Magazine , and Out —about an affair between two teenage boys in 1984 France, translated with subtle beauty and haunting lyricism by the iconic and internationally acclaimed actress and writer Molly Ringwald. In this "sexy, pure, and radiant story" ( Out ), Philippe chances upon a young man outside a hotel in Bordeaux who bears a striking resemblance to his first love. What follows is a look back at the relationship he's never forgotten, a hidden affair with a boy named Thomas during their last year of high school. Thomas is the son of a farmer; Philippe the son of a school principal. At school, they don't acknowledge each other. But they steal time to meet in secret, carrying on a passionate, world-altering affair. Despite the intensity of their attraction, from the beginning Thomas knows how it will end: "Because you will leave and we will stay," he says. Philippe becomes a writer and travels the world, though as this "tender, sensuous novel" ( The New York Times Book Review ) shows, he never lets go of the relationship that shaped him, and every story he's ever told. "Beautifully translated by Ringwald" (NPR), this is "Philippe Besson's book of a lifetime...an elegiac tale of first, hidden love" ( The New Yorker ).

Things My Son Needs to Know About the World Fredrik Backman, Neil Smith, Santino Fontana Simon & Schuster, Incorporated, Simon & Schuster Canada edition April 2019, Toronto, Ontario, 2019

"What you need to know about: Falling in love: "Find someone who doesn't love you for the person you are, but despite the person you are." Manhood: "I want you to always remember that you can be whatever you want to be, but that's nowhere near as important as knowing that you can be exactly who you are." Ikea: "Don't pee in the ball pool." Things My Son Needs to Know About the World is the personal dispatches of a man on the front lines of fatherhood, capturing the profound awe of experiencing all the "firsts" that fill each and every parent with wonder. His honest, forthright account of what it is to be a parent touches on every range of emotion: The fear of failing that causes you to buy every plastic toy in the store. The embarrassment when you dress your kid so they'll be ready for a day on the tundra, but forget to put on his shoes. The uncertainty that drives every parent to always try and do the right thing. Along the way, Backman shares the story of how he fell in love with his wife, a woman who is his complete opposite, reminisces about touching moments with friends, and reflects on how to live a life that revolves around the people you care about unconditionally. Alternating between funny side notes and longer essays offering his son advice as he prepares to venture out into the world, Backman relays the big and small lessons in life: -How to find the team you belong to. -How airports explain everything about religion and war. -Why professional wrestling is key to understanding good and evil. -The reason starting a band is crucial to keeping friendships. -Why, sometimes, he might hold on to his son's hand just a little too tight. -Is a baby born at 36 weeks and five days born in the 36th week or the 37th? -Why you should buy your first sofa second-hand. -The ultimate recipe for fried chocolate bars."-- Provided by publisher

The Signal Flame : A Novel Krivak, Andrew Scribner, Simon & Schuster, [N.p.], 2017

The stunning second novel from National Book Award finalist Andrew Krivák—“an extraordinarily elegant writer, with a deep awareness of the natural world” (*The New York Times Book Review*)—tells the heartbreaking, captivating story about a family awaiting the return of their youngest son from the Vietnam War.In a small town in northeastern Pennsylvania, Hannah and her son Bo mourn the loss of the family patriarch, Jozef. They were three generations under one roof; a war-haunted family in a war-torn century. Jozef was conscripted into the Austro-Hungarian army in World War I. His American-born daughter’s husband, Bexhet, an immigrant, fights in World War II—returning to Dardan, Pennsylvania, only to be taken in a hunting accident on Hannah’s family’s land. Finally, Hannah’s younger son, Sam, goes MIA in Vietnam.And so there is only Bo, a quiet man full of sorrow and conviction and a firstborn’s sense of duty. He is left to grieve but also to hope for reunion, to fall in love and create a new life, to embrace the land and work its mountain soil. *The Signal Flame* is a stirring exploration—the second stand-alone novel in a trilogy that began with the National Book Award finalist *The Sojourn*—of generations of men and the events that define them, brothers who take different paths, the old European values yielding to new world ways, and the convalescence of memory and war.Beginning shortly after Easter in 1972 and ending on Christmas Eve—as the Vietnam War winds down—this ambitious novel honors the cycles of earth and body, humming with blood and passion, and it confirms as a writer of extraordinary vision and power. Andrew Krivák’s *The Signal Flame *is “a complex and layered portrait of a time and place, and a family shaped, generation after generation, by the memory of war” (*The Boston Globe*).words : 75584

Jonathan Alter Tells The Epic Story Of An Enigmatic Man Of Faith And His Improbable Journey From Barefoot Boy To Global Icon. Alter Paints An Intimate And Surprising Portrait Of The Only President Since Thomas Jefferson Who Can Fairly Be Called A Renaissance Man, A Complex Figure—ridiculed And Later Revered—with A Piercing Intelligence, Prickly Intensity, And Biting Wit Beneath The Patented Smile.

Growing Up In One Of The Meanest Counties In The Jim Crow South, Carter Is The Only American President Who Essentially Lived In Three Centuries: His Early Life On The Farm In The 1920s Without Electricity Or Running Water Might As Well Have Been In The Nineteenth; His Presidency Put Him At The Center Of Major Events In The Twentieth; And His Efforts On Conflict Resolution And Global Health Set Him On The Cutting Edge Of The Challenges Of The Twenty-first. “one Of The Best In A Celebrated Genre Of Presidential Biography,” (the Washington Post), His Very Best Traces How Carter Evolved From A Timid, Bookish Child—raised Mostly By A Black Woman Farmhand—into An Ambitious Naval Nuclear Engineer Writing Passionate, Never-before-published Love Letters From Sea To His Wife And Full Partner, Rosalynn; A Peanut Farmer And Civic Leader Whose Guilt Over Staying Silent During The Civil Rights Movement And Not Confronting The White Terrorism Around Him Helped Power His Quest For Racial Justice At Home And Abroad; An Obscure, Born-again Governor Whose Brilliant 1976 Campaign Demolished The Racist Wing Of The Democratic Party And Took Him From Zero Percent To The Presidency; A Stubborn Outsider Who Failed Politically Amid The Bad Economy Of The 1970s And The Seizure Of American Hostages In Iran But Succeeded In Engineering Peace Between Israel And Egypt, Amassing A Historic Environmental Record, Moving The Government From Tokenism To Diversity, Setting A New Global Standard For Human Rights And Normalizing Relations With China Among Other Unheralded And Far-sighted Achievements.

From New York Times bestselling authors Nelson DeMille and Alex DeMille, Blood Lines features the return of Army CID Special Agents Brodie and Taylor who are on the hunt for the cold-blooded murderer of one of their fellow agents.Army Criminal Investigation Agents Scott Brodie and Maggie Taylor have been separated for five months following their last assignment, a dangerous mission in Venezuela to locate and detain an infamous Army deserter. Now, in Berlin, they are reunited and tasked with investigating the murder of one of their own: CID Special Agent Harry Vance of the 5th MP Battalion, an accomplished counterterrorism agent who had been stationed in western Germany, and whose body was discovered in a city park in the heart of Berlin’s Arab refugee community.The authorities suspect this is an act of Islamic terrorism, but Brodie and Taylor soon believe there is more to this case. The reason for Vance’s presence in Berlin is unknown, and as Brodie and Taylor work to discover what the murder victim was doing in the days and weeks preceding his death, they become immersed in the many conflicts and contradictions of modern Germany—the Arab refugee crisis, the dark legacy of the Cold War and the Stasi secret police, and the imminent threats of a rising neo-Nazi movement. At the same time, they are butting heads with the authorities—both German and American—and facing a possible threat from American intelligence agents who fear that Brodie and Taylor might have learned too much about US clandestine operations during their mission in Venezuela.Ultimately, Brodie and Taylor realize that the murder of Harry Vance was merely the prelude to a much more sinister future event—unless they can unravel the mystery in time to stop it.

Macbeth: A Dagger of the Mind (Shakespeare's Personalities Book 5) Harold Bloom Scribner, Shakespeare's personalities, First Scribner hardcover edition, New York, 2019

From Harold Bloom, the greatest Shakespeare scholar of our time, comes a portrait of Macbeth, one of William Shakespeare's most complex and compelling anti-heroes—the final volume in a series of five short books about the great playwright's most significant personalities: Falstaff, Cleopatra, Lear, Iago, and Macbeth. From the ambitious and mad titular character to his devilish wife Lady Macbeth to the mysterious Three Witches, Macbeth is one of William Shakespeare's more brilliantly populated plays and remains among the most widely read. Macbeth is a distinguished warrior hero, who over the course of the play, transforms into a brutal, murderous villain and pays an extraordinary price for committing an evil act. A man consumed with ambition and self-doubt, Macbeth is one of Shakespeare's most vital meditations on the dangerous corners of the human imagination. Award-winning writer and beloved professor Harold Bloom investigates Macbeth's unthinkable actions with razor-sharp insight, agility, and compassion. He also writes about his shifting understanding—over the course of his own lifetime—of this endlessly compelling figure.
