Yekl; a Tale of the New York Ghetto

"From the very first pages of this debut book from AD100 firm Pierce & Ward, readers are in for a treat. However, it may not be for the minimalist-minded. It kicks off with an ode to &ldquo;the art of more,&rdquo; and everything that follows&mdash;including the graphic design of the book itself, which features ornate lettering, bold stripes, and lots of historical patterns&mdash;lives up to that ethos. Designers Emily Ward and Louisa Pierce spill their style secrets&mdash;they favor antique Persian and Turkish rugs, and avoid using too much wood in an interior, as it &ldquo;can veer into a lodge vibe&rdquo;&mdash;while giving readers a glimpse into certain favorite projects, including the homes of A-list clients Melanie Griffith, Josh Brolin, and Kate Hudson." &mdash;ARCHITECTURAL DIGEST.COM"Pierce & Ward are a design duo that has burst onto the scene in the last few years with Hollywood clients including Leonardo DiCaprio, Brie Larson, Kate Hudson, and Dakota Johnson. Their recent book from Rizzoli covers their journey as only they can, with richly patterned pages, luxe photography, and the unique stories behind their work. Pick this one up for the richly layered book design on its own. And be sure to check out our recent interview with the pair." &mdash;&#160;CHAIRISH BLOG"Holiday Gift Guide: Louisa Pierce and Emily Ward have created homes for the likes of Brie Larson, Leonardo DiCaprio, Dakota Johnson, and Kate Hudson. In their first book, the duo behind Pierce & Ward pulls back the curtain on their collected, livable style and just what goes into it." &mdash;&#160;HOUSE BEAUTIFUL.COM&#160;"Holiday Gift Guide: If you&rsquo;re curious to learn more about AD100 firm Piece & Ward, look no further than their new book, A Tale of Interiors. Inside awaits a masterclass study in just what makes their design point of view their own. Expect florid wallpapers and fabrics, cozy upholstered furniture, and a certain identifiable characteristic that allows traditional and modern elements to blend seamlessly together." &mdash;ARCHITECTURAL DIGEST.COM

&ldquo;Oh, what a book this is!&nbsp;Hoffman&rsquo;s exploration of the world of good and evil, and the constant contest between them, is unflinching; and the&nbsp;humanity&nbsp;she brings to us&mdash;it is a glorious experience.&nbsp;The book builds and builds, as she weaves together, seamlessly, the stories of people in the most desperate of circumstances&mdash;and then it delivers with a tremendous punch.&nbsp;It opens up the world, the universe, in a way that it absolutely unique.&nbsp;By the end you may be weeping.&rdquo;&mdash;ELIZABETH STROUT, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of&nbsp;Olive Kitteridge  &ldquo;Alice Hoffman&rsquo;s new novel will break your heart, and then stitch it back together piece by piece.&nbsp; It&rsquo;s about love and loss, about history and the world today, about what happens when man goes against the laws of nature for good and for evil.&nbsp; It&rsquo;s my new favorite Hoffman book&mdash;and if you know how much I adore her writing, that&rsquo;s truly saying something.&rdquo;&mdash;JODI PICOULT,&nbsp;New York Times&nbsp;bestselling author of&nbsp;Small Great Things&nbsp;and&nbsp;A Spark of Light &ldquo;An exceptionally voiced tale of deepest love and loss&hellip;one of [Hoffman&rsquo;s] finest.

'The companion edited volumes Conceptualizing Relational Sociology and Applying Relational Sociology offer nothing less than a platform to review and renegotiate some of the key aspects and key contributions for the social sciences. The editors' strategy for achieving this is remarkable they seek to introduce relational sociology based on what they hold as evidence of this way of thinking of society in both seminal and more contemporary thought, and do so by bringing together a strong selection of contributions from established and up-and-coming authors. One of the major strengths of this book is that relational sociology is introduced not as a broad declaration of war to any existing and established current, but rather as a 'federative' epistemological discussion that is introduced by means of a demonstration of its presence, and by illuminating us on its principles as they are developed already in some of the seminal contributions to the field. It is my opinion that this book makes a great contribution to the epistemology of sociology and to the social sciences as a whole.' - Jonathan Paquette, Associate Professor, School of Political Studies, University of Ottawa, Canada

"A breathless time capsule of a book,&#160;Age of Consent&#160;is a coming-of-age period piece that feels very much of the now."&mdash;Harper&rsquo;s Bazaar"A total time machine&mdash;I loved it." &mdash;Maria Semple, New York Times bestselling author of Where&rsquo;d You Go, Bernadette "It's 1983, and best friends Justine and Eve want out of their miserable lives at their Connecticut boarding school, Griswold Academy. They soon find escape as they spend the summer in New York City to join Eve's childhood friend, India. All three then find themselves grappling with the power adults, like their parents, have over them." &mdash;Cosmopolitan "This novel about close high school friends takes place in the early 1980s. It follows two girls from their posh Connecticut boarding school to the super cool streets of Soho in Manhattan. As the teens engage with older men and try to parse out their identities amid the art scene, they have to cope with their parents and their own coming-of-age in an alternative, gripping way that will make you want to blast some David Bowie -- and hold your own teens tight." &mdash;Zibby Owens, Good Morning America's "25 Novels You'll Want to Read This Summer""What a perfect summer book about all the things I love reading about: namely, young women coming to terms with themselves, their friendships, and their desire. And set in the 80s no less! I love being placed so firmly in this time of New York: Bowie, and grittiness, and a kind of freedom that is rarely allotted to teenagers these days, but was once taken for granted. . . . But even if things have changed since the 80s, much still remains the same: the reliance on deep friendships, the joy of a city at night, and the deep urge for experience, and more life."&#160;&mdash;Julia Hass,&#160;Lit Hub&rsquo;s&#160;&ldquo;Most Anticipated Books of 2020, Part 2&rdquo; "[A] stunning debut."&mdash;Bustle"The New York of the 1980s comes to life in Amanda Brainerd's coming of age tale&#160;Age of Consent. The novel follows three female friends as they explore their sexuality, navigate their first jobs, and deal with the ramifications of relationships with older men."&#160; &mdash;PopSugar's&#160;&ldquo;30 Best New Books to Dive into This Summer&rdquo; &#160; &ldquo;Amanda Brainerd&rsquo;s brilliant&#160;Age of Consent&#160;isn&rsquo;t just a coming of age novel. . . . It is also a gorgeous, rancid, luxurious snapshot of a type in America when helicopter parents didn&rsquo;t exist and dance clubs in NYC cared more about the fame of the clientele than their age. . . . Age of Consent&#160;is a dark and beautiful book for anyone who remembers the hope and terror of being sixteen.&rdquo; &mdash;San Francisco Book Review"An engrossing page-turner&#160;of a story about a closely knit group of friends coming of age in a world of wealth, recreational drugs, and dysfunctional parenting, set among the verdant lawns of a Connecticut boarding school and the art scene and seedy digs of downtown New York."&mdash;Avenue Magazine"A bracing, full-throttle dive into female coming-of-age in 1980s New York City. . . . As haunting and nostalgic as a sepia-toned photograph. . . .&#160;Age of Consent&#160;reveals the vulnerable, human heart at the center of a place and time cloaked in addiction, neglect and regret."&mdash;Shelf Awareness for Readers&ldquo;Brainerd eloquently captures the struggles of her teenage characters while simultaneously providing insight into their screwed up parents. Familiar, funny, and totally unforgettable.&rdquo;  &mdash;Molly Jong-Fast, author of The Social Climber&rsquo;s Handbook "Bracing . . . engaging . . . well written . . . On the surface, Brainerd&rsquo;s tale is a nostalgic trip into the early 1980s, including an inspired evocation of the Downtown art scene, but her teenage characters make the greatest impact. The takes on parental neglect and the ways young women are taught to see sex as transactional make this more than a throwback."&mdash;Publishers Weekly  &ldquo;Heady and atmospheric, Brainerd's debut weaves the energy of glamorous, arty,&#160;and treacherous Manhattan into the coming-of-age dramas of her three adventurous heroes.&rdquo;&#160;  &mdash;Booklist &ldquo;A powerful, wildly entertaining story of friendship and identity set against the backdrop of the early 80&rsquo;s, an era which has uncanny parallels to today. Brainerd brilliantly captures the struggles of young women trying to find their way in a time when their parents and role models are in deep crisis. Age of Consent is both a juicy page turner and a haunting, personal portrait of an era.&rdquo;&#160;&mdash;Aline Brosh McKenna, screenwriter of The Devil Wears Prada and co-creator of Crazy Ex-Girlfriend &#160;&ldquo;A witty, perceptive, and compulsively readable book about the cool girls I'd wish I'd been in high school.&rdquo; &mdash;Patricia Marx, New Yorker staff writer and author of Him Her Him Again The End of Him&#160;&ldquo;In her striking debut, Amanda Brainerd conjures a cast of vibrant and troubled young characters who find themselves thrown into an adult world of money, treachery, and sexual politics.&#160; She captures the raw and painful tangle of female adolescence with emotional honesty and precision.&#160; Set in the 1980s, a tumultuous Age of Consent, and brimming with evocative detail, the story travels across the glittering and gritty landscapes of an elite boarding school and New York City, leading its vulnerable protagonists to the discovery that charmed lives often hide the most dangerous circumstances.&rdquo;  &mdash;Jane Mendelsohn, author of I Was Amelia Earhart

Ethereal collages by Teckentrup (My Little Book of Big Questions) capture the house&#8217;s clean lines; the light-filled summer foliage around it; and the grim, gray tones of war. Younger readers unfamiliar with the history of WWII and 20th-century Germany can meet them here at a safe, albeit uncontextualized, distance.&#8212;Publishers WeeklyIn this picture book rendition of Harding&#8217;s 2015 adult memoir, a house near Berlin, built in the twentieth century, becomes home to four families over the years...the house setting that brings them together is an interesting and useful lens for learning more about the day-to-day lives of people from this historical era, and this title could be an interesting partner to Karas&#8217; As an Oak Tree Grows (12/14).&#8212;Bulletin of the Center for Children's BooksTeckentrup&#8217;s evocative textured and layered mixed-media illustrations beautifully reflect the bucolic setting in times of both familial repose and, chillingly, unthinkable evil.&#8212;The Horn Book

"Sarah Tuttle-Singer brings Jerusalem's Old City to life like no writer before her&#8212;penning a ferocious love letter that will infuriate zealots and enthrall most everybody else. . . . Written with too much real-world knowledge to be easily dismissed by more conventional experts, Tuttle-Singer's book is ultimately a plea for Jerusalem, as she puts it, not to be 'ripped to ragged pieces by those who say they love her the best.' If there were more Jerusalemites like her, that simple, elusive aspiration might even be realized." &#8212;David Horovitz, Editor, The Times of Israel
