From acclaimed author Dinaw Mengestu, a recipient of the National Book Foundation’s 5 Under 35 award, The New Yorker’s 20 Under 40 award, and a 2012 MacArthur Foundation genius grant, comes an unforgettable love story about a searing affair between an American woman and an African man in 1970s America and an unflinching novel about the fragmentation of lives that straddle countries and histories. All Our Names is the story of two young men who come of age during an African revolution, drawn from the safe confines of the university campus into the intensifying clamor of the streets outside. But as the line between idealism and violence becomes increasingly blurred, the friends are driven apart—one into the deepest peril, as the movement gathers inexorable force, and the other into the safety of exile in the American Midwest. There, pretending to be an exchange student, he falls in love with a social worker and settles into small-town life. Yet this idyll is inescapably darkened by the secrets of his past: the acts he committed and the work he left unfinished. Most of all, he is haunted by the beloved friend he left behind, the charismatic leader who first guided him to revolution and then sacrificed everything to ensure his freedom. Elegiac, blazing with insights about the physical and emotional geographies that circumscribe our lives, All Our Names is a marvel of vision and tonal command. Writing within the grand tradition of Naipul, Greene, and Achebe, Mengestu gives us a political novel that is also a transfixing portrait of love and grace, of self-determination and the names we are given and the names we earn. This eBook edition includes a Reading Group Guide.

Everything about the sense of smell fascinates us, from its power to evoke memories to its ability to change our moods and influence our behavior. Yet because it is the least understood of the senses, myths abound. For example, contrary to popular belief, the human nose is almost as sensitive as the noses of many animals, including dogs; blind people do not have enhanced powers of smell; and perfumers excel at their jobs not because they have superior noses, but because they have perfected the art of thinking about scents. In this entertaining and enlightening journey through the world of aroma, olfaction expert Avery Gilbert illuminates the latest scientific discoveries and offers keen observations on modern culture: how a museum is preserving the smells of John Steinbeck's Cannery Row; why John Waters revived the "smellie" in Polyester; and what innovations are coming from artists like the Dutch "aroma jockey" known as Odo7. From brain-imaging laboratories to the high-stakes world of scent marketing, What the Nose Knows takes us on a tour of the strange and surprising realm of smell.

In 2008, all Troy Peterson wanted to do was give his wife the honeymoon and vacation they deserved. Being software engineers, they married two years earlier but never had time for a honeymoon. Given the chance by his boss and friend, Troy grabbed the opportunity and got tickets for a cruise to the Bahamas for a dream vacation, but unknown to him, his wife, Julia, had other plans. After arriving in Nassau, they had two beautiful days, but just before they get ready to board the ship, Julia disappears. An all-out search is led by the ship's staff captain, but she is nowhere to be found. Forced to leave, the ship turns the investigation over to local police, and the FBI is also assigned. Troy refuses to leave with the ship, and he stays behind to search for his wife. Never forgiving the cruise line or the ship's officer for leaving, anger sets in as the investigation goes nowhere and is slowly replaced with revenge. In 2018, the maiden voyage of the fleet's newest, most modern designed ship on the seas leaves New York, with over four thousand passengers and a VIP list including the cruise line's president, state, ship, and local officials, including other dignitaries. One unpredictable and relentless storm head in their path, bringing with it a nightmare no ship or its crew ever wants to face, much less survive. One man's deadly and unforgivable revenge for the captain and a serial bomber on board seeking his own retribution for the team of investigators hunting down the captain's enemy. A ten-day vacation turns into ten days of hell and survival as the team of opposing investigators and one former criminal attempt to stop one madman about to create a disaster at sea of unthinkable horror. Sending one ship and over five thousand people to the bottom of an unforgiving ocean.
