?Fiercely intelligent, warm in their own way, and absolutely absorbing. . . . Excellent excellent excellent.??Roxane Gay?Ladee Hubbard is a true original, and this book is a unique beauty.??Mary GaitskillThe critically acclaimed author of The Rib King returns with an eagerly anticipated collection of interlocking short stories including the title story written exclusively for this volume, that explore relationships between friends, family and strangers in a Black neighborhood over fifteen years.The thirteen gripping tales In The Last Suspicious Holdout, the new story collection by award-winning author Ladee Hubbard, deftly chronicle poignant moments in the lives of an African American community located in a ?sliver of southern suburbia.?

In ?False Cognates,? a formerly incarcerated attorney struggles with raising the tuition to keep his troubled son in an elite private school. In ?There He Go,? a young girl whose mother moves constantly clings to a picture of the grandfather she doesn't know but invents stories of his greatness. Characters spotlighted in one story reappear in another, providing a stunning testament to the enduring resilience of Black people as they navigate the ?post-racial? period The Last Suspicious Holdout so vividly portrays.

A renowned grief expert and neuroscientist shares groundbreaking discoveries about what happens in our brain when we grieve, providing a new paradigm for understanding love, loss, and learning.For as long as humans have existed, we have struggled when a loved one dies. Poets and playwrights have written about the dark cloak of grief, the deep yearning, how devastating heartache feels. But until now, we have had little scientific perspective on this universal experience. In The Grieving Brain, neuroscientist and psychologist Mary-Frances O'Connor, PhD, gives us a fascinating new window into one of the hallmark experiences of being human. O'Connor has devoted decades to researching the effects of grief on the brain, and in this book, she makes cutting-edge neuroscience accessible through her contagious enthusiasm, and guides us through how we encode love and grief. With love, our neurons help us form attachments to others; but, with loss, our brain must come to terms with where our loved ones went, or how to imagine a future that encompasses their absence. Based on O'Connor's own trailblazing neuroimaging work, research in the field, and her real-life stories, The Grieving Brain does what the best popular science books do, combining storytelling, accessible science, and practical knowledge that will help us better understand what happens when we grieve and how to navigate loss with more ease and grace.

A former United States Trade Representative?one of the world's foremost experts on trade, economics, and agriculture?explains the global economy's biggest challenges, and how to solve them. As the Trump Administration's U.S. Trade Representative, Robert Lighthizer took on globalists, nationalists, and big businesses from China, Canada, and Europe whose economic interests diverged from those of America. In The Worst Trade Ever, he shows how America's established approach to global trade has failed in its most basic priorities.Instead of securing good jobs, a solid standard of living, and a promising future for American workers, America's politicians have ceded American technological superiority, infrastructure, and economic stability to competitors like China and Mexico, trading American economic stability and jobs for cheaper consumer goods. We have given nations huge advantages over the U.S., and by enriching multinational corporations at the expense of the well-being of people who don't have college degrees, American trade policy has increased the division between economic classes.As U.S. Trade Representative, Lighthizer worked to undo many of these failed policies and bring balance to the global order. In this book, he explains the current issues involving trade, and what can be done to ensure America's trade policies serve America's interests.
