Pitter! Patter! Pit Pat. Smack! The North Pole knew all about snow, but rain? This was a Christmas Eve rainstorm unlike anything Santa Claus had ever seen. Santa and his reindeer won't let a bit of rain stop them from delivering presents to all the good little kids around the world on Christmas Eve—or so they think. As they take off into the worsening downpour in rain gear for the reindeer, and a super waterproof suit for Santa, they expect it'll be business as usual. But then the reindeer start to sneeze. And soon, the sneezing not only knocks them off course, but right out of the sky! They crash land in the middle of a farm in a rain storm, which means . . . mud. So much mud.  The sleigh is stuck, the reindeer are sick, and Santa isn't sure how he's going to get the rest of the presents to the children. Just then, Logan appears, riding the very same toy tractor Santa had left for him last Christmas Eve. With a rope and some effort, Logan manages to pull Santa and the reindeer from the mud pit, but the sleigh is stuck for good. As they warm up and dry off in the barn, Santa and Logan try to come up with a plan to finish delivering the presents. But the reindeer are too sick to continue. And Santa doesn't have a sleigh any longer. How can he continue his journey? A kind and determined little boy, a barn full of eager farm animals, and a little bit of Christmas magic may give Santa a Christmas Eve present of his own.

A Catholic Classic -- UPDATED AND EXPANDED!

The untold story of the intersecting lives of the Reverend Jim Jones and Harvey Milk

A great new book from Regnery Publishing!

As an artist, Dan Fleuette has always identified with the marginal, the rebels, those at the margins of society. Traditionally, these characters have been artists, musicians, filmmakers, and writers. Since the dawn of woke culture, where many of today’s artists march in lockstep with the dominant, politically correct corporate news and political space, these marginal characters have taken a different look. Today’s rebels would have been considered quite mainstream just a few years ago. Included in their ranks are the scorned, mocked, ridiculed and canceled—those who risk everything to dare to speak their mind and run counter to mainstream narratives.      These are the people captured in Rebels, Rogues, and Outlaws: A Pictorial History of WarRoom. This is not just a portrait book, it is also a WarRoom historical document showcasing the brave souls who are courageous enough to stand up against a ceaseless and powerful battering of politicians, woke social media tyrants, school boards, editorial pages, and polite society in general. This book is Fleuette’s small attempt to honor these people, who show us, day in and day out, what real courage is.

From acclaimed bestselling author of White Like Her: My Family's Story of Race and Racial Passing, comes a brand new collection of stories of people uncovering their past.What They Never Told Us tells the stories of ordinary people who made extraordinary, life-changing discoveries about their parentage and/or race and ethnicity that fractured their identities. The book asks the big questions: Who are we? And what is family? Blending social history and personal narratives, each story delves into the devastating psychological trauma of uncovering a hidden family secret with all the twists and turns of a mystery novel from how the discovery was made; to why it was kept secret; to the arduous, sometimes disappointing, quest to find the biological parent or parents. To fully understand the secrecy surrounding these family secrets, the book examines pre-WWII and post-WWII attitudes toward infertility, adoption, donor conception, race and racial passing, and unmarried pregnant women. Prefacing these harrowing narratives is the author's own confusing and sometimes painful journey to redefine her racial identity under the spotlight of public opinion. Searingly raw and honest, What They Never Told Us tells the stories that were never meant to be heard.

For fans of Jon Krakauer's Into the Wild and Suleika Jaouad's Between Two Kingdoms, the invigorating true story of a man and his dog who circled the globe on foot."Quietly stunning." —Laurie Woolever, New York Times bestselling author of World Travel with Anthony Bourdain and Bourdain: The Definitive Oral Biography After the death of a close friend at seventeen, Tom Turcich resolved to make the most out of life; to travel and be forced into adventure; to experience and understand the world. On April 2nd, 2015, he set out to see it all—one step at a time.The World Walk is the emotional and exhilarating story of the tenth person and first dog to walk around the world. Together, Turcich and his dog, Savannah, covered twenty-eight thousand miles over the course of seven years. Through deserts, jungles, cities, and mountains, Turcich meditated on what’s important in life and took lessons from cultures around the globe. Rarely has there been a true-life tale of such scope. From sheltered suburbanite to world traveler, Turcich’s epic account runs the full gamut: He is held up at knifepoint in Panama and gunpoint in Turkey; wanders deep within himself in the deserts of Peru; watches a democracy fortify itself in Georgia; and takes it all in with his resolute companion by his side. His growth spans the most basic elements of surviving on the road—finding food, water, and safe places to camp—to humanity’s more noble aspirations, such as the benefits of democracy, the search for love, and the weighing of personal significance. Accompanied by some of the author’s world-class photography, this tour de force of resilience and triumph of the human spirit will reaffirm to readers that the world is beautiful, people are good, and life should be a generous, vibrant adventure.

A gripping exposé of how Bluebird Bio sabotaged affordable sickle cell and thalassemia treatment worldwide.Healthcare Criminals is the inside story of how Bluebird Bio stole gene therapy technology from its rival and sabotaged their superior product to market gene therapy at an impossible cost of over $3 million per patient in the US. As Americans struggled to afford care, former Bluebird CEO Nick Leschly, self-proclaimed “Chief Bluebird,” pocketed over $100 million while his coconspirators and Third Rock Ventures raked in billions. They make Martin Shkreli look like a model citizen. The scandal's economic toll on the 102,000 Americans with Sickle Cell Disease or Thalassemia surpasses the ten most notorious pharmaceutical crimes combined. Patrick Girondi, the Wall Street Journal bestselling author and founder of San Rocco Therapeutics, narrates Bluebird’s corrupt rise and its subsequent fall, as its stock now trades at $5 compared to its height of $230. Girondi tells the story as both a founder and a father as he fights in the lab and in the courts to bring more affordable, more effective gene therapy to those who need it—including his own son. For readers of Empire of Pain, Pain Hustlers, and For Blood and Money, Healthcare Criminals is a compelling true story of greed, betrayal, and the relentless pursuit of justice in the face of widespread corruption in the pharmaceutical industry.

Nevada’s iconic art form comes to life. Sheila Swan and Peter Laufer take readers on a journey, not only along the Las Vegas Strip, but down quiet, two-lane rural roads punctuated by neon signs—those glistening beacons that represent commerce in the vast Great Basin. The photographers’ stunning work captures the argon violets, krypton purples, helium golds, and xenon blues that glow amid the nighttime desert sky.  Readers will discover that neon is not just a medium for casino advertising. The colorful images of cowboys and cowgirls, animals, desert landscapes, and a myriad of other creative designs all illuminate Americana. The neon sign helps define Nevada and its businesses, from bars and casinos to the stores, restaurants, motels, and theaters that line the streets of the Silver State’s cities and towns, and those rural areas that are barely a blip on the map. With a compelling blend of striking full-color photographs and fascinating historical commentary, this book celebrates an art form that wholly embraces the state’s unique personality.  First published in 1994, this newly updated and expanded edition of Neon Nevada explores the resurgence of this art form during the last decade, which has resulted in an appreciation of Nevada neon that will never fade. This survey of neon casts the new edition as a defining source for neon scholars and attracts neon aficionados to what can only be defined as a medium as distinctive and interesting as Nevada itself.

Rep. JAMIE RASKIN (D-MD): “This fine book is an essential primer about the stakes in ’24. We owe Mark a debt of gratitude.”LAURENCE TRIBE: “Written with searing clarity and biting humor.” The Inflection Election: Democracy or Fascism in 2024? aims to warn busy and credulous Americans that this November will be a choice between a Party of Progress and a Party of Dangerous Extremism that may determine the path for American governance for generations.    This is not a “both-sides” analysis by a journalistic spectator, but is instead a blunt “one-sided” guide by an experienced partisan—a public interest lawyer, elected Democrat, and prolific author. Mark Green makes the case for Democracy and Freedom and against Trump’s blatant Caesarism and MAGA’s fringeworthy agenda.   While neither side has a prohibitive advantage as of mid-2024, the stakes are no mystery. If the GOP should now win both the White House and Congress—with a reactionary Supreme Court already in its column—a numerical minority of Americans would then enjoy a temporary governing majority that could cancel a century of progress and make the world’s oldest democracy no longer democratic.    There must be a word that binds together such threats but it sure isn't “conservative” in the way Eisenhower, Reagan, or the Bushes would have understood it. For if all the corruption, lies, violence, and racism described throughout The Inflection Election were aggregated into a pointillist painting, the portrait would resemble Orbán far more than Obama.     This is extremism posing as patriotism . . . whether it’s called fascism, dictatorship, autocracy, or authoritarianism. While the country can hope that the courts will hold Trump accountable, Green concludes that crushing it in 2024 is the best way to return to a healthy two-party system where losers respect the choice of voters, like in the good old days of 1789–2020.  In a likely close 2024 national contest, The Inflection Election is an entertaining and informative manifesto that will become part of this year’s urgent political conversation. It is a one-stop primer that synthesizes fresh phrases, narratives and values to keep Democrats on offense and Trump’s MAGA party on-the-ropes. Green’s conclusion is that the GOP “sounds like a casting call for the delirious jury in the classic film Idiocracy, which was supposed to be a satire on reverse Darwinism, not reality TV.”    November 5, 2024 is either/or time. This book explains why.
