By Stella Grizont
"If you are feeling dissatisfied, bored, miserable, or just unenthusiastic about your work, it is not all your fault. But, as workplace happiness expert Stella Grizont asserts, it is your responsibility to do something about it. "The Work Happiness Method" teaches the eight essential skills-including Resilience, Clarity, Purpose, and Boundaries-necessary to feel happier and more fulfilled no matter where you are or who you're working with. Guiding readers step by step with evidence-based techniques, it shares the latest research on the science of happiness, leadership development, neuroscience, and behavioral economics to help explain how your mind works and how to finally wake up excited for the day ahead. There is no corporate BS or big picture commentary about adapting to the new economy, four-hour workweeks, or the freedom of self-employment and flexible schedules; it's entirely a roll-up-your-sleeves and figure-things-out-yourself approach to love your work (and life)"--

By Mohamad Jebara
Based on extensive scholarship, an innovative biography of the central text of Islam Over a billion copies of the Qur`an exist, yet it remains an enigma. Its classical Arabic language resists simple translation, and its non-linear style of abstract musings defies categorization. Moreover, those who champion its sanctity and compete to claim its mantle offer widely diverging interpretations of its core message at times with explosive results. Building on his intimate portrait of the Qur`an's prophet in Muhammad the World-Changer, Mohamad Jebara returns with a vivid profile of the book itself. While viewed in retrospect as the grand scripture of triumphant empires, Jebara reveals how the Qur`an unfolded over 22 years amidst intense persecution, suffering, and loneliness. The Life of the Qur`an recounts this vivid drama as a biography examining the book's obscured heritage, complex revelation, and contested legacy. The Qur`an re-emerges with clarity as a dynamic life force that seeks to inspire human beings to unleash their dormant potential despite often-overwhelming odds, in order to transform themselves and the world.

By Laurence Ralph
"In September of 2019, Luis Alberto Quiänonez-known as Sito- was shot to death as he sat in his car in the Mission District of San Francisco. He was nineteen. His killer, Julius Williams, was seventeen. It was the second time the teens had encountered one another. The first, five years before, also ended in tragedy, when Julius watched as his brother was stabbed to death by an acquaintance of Sito's. The two murders merited a few local news stories, and then the rest of the world moved on. But for the families of the slain teenagers, it was impossible to move on. And for Laurence Ralph, the stepfather of Sito's half-brother who had dedicated much of his academic career to studying gang-affiliated youth, Sito's murder forced him to revisit a subject of scholarly inquiry in a profoundly different, deeply personal way. Written from Ralph's perspective as both a person enmeshed in Sito's family and as an Ivy League professor and expert on the entanglement of class and violence, SITO is an intimate story with an message about the lived experience of urban danger, and about anger, fear, grief, vengeance, and ultimately grace"--.
