"This delightful book is a tribute to the genius of the human mind for conceptual precision and the beauty of the English language in capturing it. It resolves a great deal of puzzlement over confusable terms, and its endearing illustrations and lighthearted explanations multiply the satisfaction." —Steven Pinker, author of The Language Instinct and Rationality What’s the difference between mazes and labyrinths?

The quintessential librarian gift and English teacher gift, it’s an educational odyssey that’s as entertaining as it is enlightening.

A Bridgerton-inspired humorous Victorian romance featuring a defiant heroine who fights to escape a bad marriage, while her love for a forbidden man jeopardizes her chance at freedom. “Romantic, feminist, and shimmers with intelligence. Let's hope Ms. Bennet keeps writing—we need more historical romance just like this!” —All About Romance James Standish knows how to play society’s game. He’ll follow the rules—marry a virginal debutante and inherit a massive fortune. At least, that’s the plan until he meets Francesca Thorne. She’s not the sort of woman a respectable gentleman like James could ever marry—not least because, strictly speaking, she’s married already to James's friend Edward. Francesca is determined to flout convention and divorce her philandering husband. When James sweet-talks his way into her life—tasked with convincing Francesca to abandon her dream of freedom—she’s unprepared for the passion that flares between them. Torn apart by conflicting desires, James and Francesca must choose whether to keep chasing the lives they’ve always wanted or to take a chance on a new and forbidden love.“The Worst Woman in London is the kind of historical novel I’ve been dying to read.”—The New York Times

Presented by a hospitality veteran and an authority on drinks, this non-alcoholic cocktail book is organized by seven different taste profiles.There are plenty of reasons to need or want a drink-and plenty of reasons for that drink not to contain alcohol. But simply omitting it often yields a glass of something boring: more than just a buzz-maker, alcohol creates complexity and interest when it's in a drink. So how do you make up for that when you leave it out?John deBary is stirring up nonalcoholic beverages that match the flavor, deliciousness, and interest of customary cocktails. Start by assembling your back bar with John's eighteen core recipes for syrups and infusions, which you'll partner with ingredients you probably already have on hand. Then pick your taste profile: Are you in the mood for something smoky while you sit by the fireplace? Endlessly searching for spice? Or maybe you want something bright and fruity to welcome in the warmer weather.Here you'll find versions of modified classics, like A Moderate Mule, Cucumber Collins, and Honey Sidecar, alongside John's unique creations, including Tahini Dreamsicle, a rich, nostalgic nod to the favorite childhood dessert; Arctic Cooler, a "sophisticated" take on blue Gatorade; and Rocking Chair Punch, the perfect setting for canned peaches and Earl Grey tea.Inclusive and accessible, The Nonalcoholic Bar ensures everyone can have a really great drink.
