The Ivy League is full of societies and clubs, some public and some very private, but none is as secret as Yale's Skull and Bones, a tiny, mysterious society that has spawned three presidents, including George W. Bush and his father. Skull and Bones' cloak-and-dagger secrecy has prompted people worldwide to attribute to it some of the most staggering conspiracies in modern history - as well as events including the drop of the atom bomb, the rise of Hitler and the Bay of Pigs invasion. From their nearly windowless crypt in the middle of the campus the Bonesmen, it is said, plot world domination! Journalist Alexandra Robbins slips through the veil of secrecy to investigate, through society documents and interviews with dozens of members, the truth about Skull and Bones' influence and operations. She also explains why the old-boy, 19th century throwback, a product of another time, still thrives in 21st century America.

Are you torn between climbing the career ladder or throwing on a sarong in Goa? Do all your mates seem more successful and sorted than you do? Are you suffocated by choice, responsibility, and self-doubt? Are money, homelife and relationships stressing you out? Do these questions just make you want to crawl back under your duvet? Surprisingly you are not alone you could be in the middle of a quarterlife crisis. We've all heard of adolescent angst and the mid-life crisis, but no one really talks about the challenges of the period in between. The truth is that being a twentysomething in the 'real-world' isn't easy. "Quarterlife Crisis" is the first book to name and document this phenomenon. With masses of facts, information, and startlingly honest anecdotes "Quarterlife Crisis" helps you out through an often dizzying period, and compellingly tackles the most difficult questions facing twenty somethings today.

A New York Times bestseller. “A funny, intimate, and often jaw-dropping account of life behind the scenes.”—PeopleNurses is the compelling story of the year in the life of four nurses, and the drama, unsung heroism, and unique sisterhood of nursing—one of the world’s most important professions (nurses save lives every day), and one of the world’s most dangerous, filled with violence, trauma, and PTSD. In following four nurses, Alexandra Robbins creates sympathetic characters while diving deep into their world of controlled chaos. It’s a world of hazing—“nurses eat their young.” Sex—not exactly like on TV, but surprising just the same. Drug abuse—disproportionately a problem among the best and the brightest, and a constant temptation. And bullying—by peers, by patients, by hospital bureaucrats, and especially by doctors, an epidemic described as lurking in the “shadowy, dark corners of our profession.” The result is a page-turning, shocking look at our health-care system.
