The Miracle Century: Making Sense of the Cell Therapy Revolution

"New York Times bestselling author and former FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb provides a glimpse of a promising future that is quickly approaching: a world with cures for chronic illnesses and cancers. While traditional drugs mostly help us manage the effects of disease, cell therapies promise genuine cures for a broad range of intractable ailments, from Alzheimer’s to heart damage to cancer. They could even reverse the effects of aging. For the first time in history, on an unprecedented scale, we possess the power to modify the biology that gives rise to disease, ultimately restoring individuals to a state of normalcy and reversing debilitating ailments. In The Miracle Century, former FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb traces the scientific achievements that propelled progress in cell therapies. The birth of this medical revolution wasn’t a sudden event. Rather, it emerged from decades of steady, incremental progress in science. These concerted advances made cell therapies a reality. To forge a path for continued medical breakthroughs, Dr. Gottlieb meticulously traces this scientific journey, identifying lessons on how these achievements can be replicated. The MIracle Century is a look at the future of healthcare from one of the nation’s leading medical authorities. Scott Gottlieb explains how these new medicines are moving from the laboratory bench to the marketplace and tackles the issues that must be addressed to enable wide adoption of these treatments and transform as many lives as possible."

Forging the American Mind: A Year-by-Year Guide for Classical Christian Education

"In this follow-up to Battle for the American Mind, David Goodwin lays out the principles for providing a classical Christian education for children, K-12. American parents have been desperate for an alternative to our broken, woke school system. Inspired by the insights of Battle for the American Mind, many gratefully embraced Classical Christian Education as an alternative—a deep tradition grounded in a biblical worldview. Instead of creating soulless careerists or woke activists, the lost tradition of CCE teaches children to care more about virtue and wisdom rather than conforming to a corrupt culture. New schools are popping up around the country. However, parents and educators need a roadmap for incorporating CCE into kids’ lives. This is that map. David Goodwin has taught classical Christian education for decades. In Forging the American Mind, he lays out practices, recommendations, and stories filled with simple, hard-won advice on how to parent and teach kids with wisdom, love, and ambition. How do you teach language? How do you teach Plato? What’s the best way to teach Christian history? How do you balance students’ individuality with respect for community? Goodwin offers answers to these questions and many more, and gives parents year-by-year plans, starting with the rambunctious elementary school years, through middle and high school, and concludes with an ambitious path to adulthood for teens. Forging the American Mind is a revolutionary road map for transforming education. This book gives devout parents and teachers the concrete information and inspiration they need to build a new and better way of learning for all American children."

No Place Like Home: The Missing Key to Our Housing Crisis

"From award-winning journalist Jessica Barrett, an honest and urgent look at our housing crisis and lessons from around the world that will make better homes for all Canadians. After living in Vancouver for her entire adult life, Jessica Barrett packed up her apartment, quit her dream job as a magazine editor, and headed for Calgary in search of an affordable place to call home. In the years since Barrett was priced out of Vancouver, the issue of housing affordability has become a national crisis, fanning the flames of social inequality and setting us up for financial ruin. But our obsession with rising housing prices obscures a more complex and pressing issue: we have lost our reverence for and our understanding of home. In No Place Like Home, Barrett dives behind the headlines and statistics of Canada's housing crisis to examine how it has eaten away at our psyches by undermining our human needs for belonging, connection, and stability. Through a mix of powerful memoir and rigorous journalism, she delivers an eye-opening portrait of our housing system while scouring the world for examples of how we might do things differently, pulling inspiration from the slum communities of Harare, Zimbabwe, the stately streets of Vienna, Austria, and the Cold-war era apartment blocks of West Berlin. In the process, Barrett forms a framework for solutions and the basis for achievable change. Her biggest discovery? We cannot solve our housing crisis until we first address our crisis of home."

Reality in Ruins: How Conspiracy Theory Became an American Evangelical Crisis

"For anyone who has ever said, “It feels like we’re living in different realities,” an unforgettable read and definitive explainer of the strange history of evangelical conspiracism. Conspiracy theories are at the root of the most pressing political problems of our time, yet their influence cuts just as personal. Suspicion has fractured families, communities, churches, and our very social fabric, as one person’s fact is another’s fake news. In Reality in Ruins, Dr. Jared Stacy braves the untold history of conspiracism in American evangelicalism and the anxiety at the heart of this radioactive movement that affects us all. In a new age of what he calls “Disreality,” many are left reeling in the ruins of what was once a common world, now splintered by warring ideologies, religious and political extremism, and cults of certainty. Dr. Stacy reports from the inside as someone raised and even ordained in one of the nation’s most conservative denominations. Now, as a historian and theologian who’s left evangelicalism, Dr. Stacy traces the currents of pain, panic, and power that have thrust the evangelical church into a theological crisis with consequence for everyone. For concerned citizens, Christians who are sounding the alarm on Christian Nationalism, and anyone grieving the relationships paranoia has ruptured, Reality in Ruins profiles the problem, validates your pain, prepares you for good resistance, and empowers you to become the truth-tellers a common world deserves."

Moving Toward Freedom: The Political Education of Enslaved Americans

"A magisterial, groundbreaking new study of the lives of enslaved Americans on the cusp of the Civil War that places their agency-and their hard-won political knowledge-rightly at the center of the fight for freedom The enduring image of American slavery has been of workers trapped on plantations, shuttling from squalid quarters to the fields and back again-or else confined to the homes of abusive owners, constantly under surveillance and restriction. But if that were the whole picture, how would Black southerners have organized into such a formidable force the moment war erupted? With Moving Toward Freedom, eminent historian Susan O'Donovan radically widens the lens to reveal a new landscape of the slaveholding South: one in which enslaved workers were not pinned in place but mobile, deployed as laborers-and even as captains-on steamboats and ferries, or as teamsters transporting staple crops across the expanding country, or as ladies' maids waiting on their mistresses on European vacations. While performing brutal and involuntary work, O'Donovan argues, enslaved Americans managed to accumulate the crucial experience and knowledge that they would use to bring about their own liberation. Piecing together an extraordinary archive of slaves' letters, travel passes, receipts, and other documentation of lives in which literacy was illegal, O'Donovan allows her subjects to speak for themselves as they move through markets, jails, waterways, gold mines, and foreign lands. In so doing, O'Donovan demonstrates that slavery's incredible profitability depended on a fundamentally unsustainable balance between commercial drives and the exercising of control-one that enslaved workers eventually succeeded in putting to their advantage, bringing slavery to its knees."

Europe: A New History

"Brought to you by Penguin. A new history of the idea of Europe from Ancient Greece to the present This wise, thoughtful and entertaining book draws on a lifetime of knowledge to tell the story as crisply as possible of the European continent and its people. Beginning in the Ancient World and ending with the war in Ukraine, Europe: A New History is both the story of the whole land mass and of the shifting points when a particular country or region has become dominant or extraordinary. The book is both a reliable and thoughtful guide to what has happened to this small western outcrop of the Asian landmass and a meditation on what is and what is not Europe, how this has changed but also the strange continuities. Europe: A New History is above all extraordinarily useful – Roderick Beaton is as good at writing about the great social, economic and climatic changes across the continent as on those small individual moments where suddenly history takes a new and sometimes drastic course. © Roderick Beaton 2026 (P) Penguin Audio 2026"
