Young children will be riveted by this masterfully paced, puppy-love drama, played out with an array of quirky animals in contemporary comic style. The measure of individuality is each character&#8217;s ability to keep a secret. There is the gossipmonger, the one who does not care, the one who tries to keep a secret, and the one who doesn&#8217;t... A delightful, surefire conversation starter on the do&#8217;s and don&#8217;ts of secrets among friends.&#8212;School Library Journal (starred review)Freeman&#8217;s brisk storytelling and comically expressive cast of anthropomorphic animals make an all-too-familiar situation feel fresh...The stagelike composition and the characters&#8217; penchant for theatrical gestures keep the mood as light as a French farce while still conveying sympathy for Molly&#8212;and empathy for the tough task of being a secret keeper.&#8212;Publishers Weekly (starred review)The mixed media illustrations sport a modern palette is vibrant and appealing. Characters have large, expressive anthropomorphized faces. Keeping backgrounds to a minimum, Freeman lets her characters run the show.&#8212;100 Scope Notes

"Excellent and compact....A person of the left, Judis specializes in speaking truth to liberals, something he also did in his earlier The Populist Explosion. He thinks it's important for progressives to understand why so many are drawn to Trump and the far right in Europe." —E.J. Dionne, The Washington Post"John B. Judis is the rare left-of-center journalist who takes our populist-nationalist moment seriously. Rather than dismiss the leaders and constituencies of the American and European movements as mere xenophobes, he offers an empathetic balls-and-strikes analysis of the socioeconomic factors that made—and continue to make—such campaigns viable." —The American Conservative"Concise and indispensable." —Vanity Fair "John B. Judis, author of The Nationalist Revival, does not see a death-match between imperial liberalism on the one hand and nationalism on the other. His book argues that elites have overreached, both in the U.S. and in Europe, in advocating large-scale immigration and trade deals and foreign interventions. As a result, Mr. Judis—a former New Republic editor who has long supported progressive and pro-labor economic policies—calls for a synthesis between liberalism and nationalism." —The Wall Street Journal"John B. Judis' new book offers a timely reminder that there is such a thing as a nationalist left, and the author himself is a part of it." —The National Interest"Judis's contrast between 'globalism' and 'internationalism' is a valuable distinction for the left, and rejecting the former is necessary for the survival of the latter. Progressives will have to offer an 'alternative globalism' that can address the extreme inequities of the current system while defending its very real achievements. Nationalism will be the reactionary route of the 21st century, and in the United Kingdom we are already seeing just how chaotic and disastrous this path can be." —Conor Lynch, The Week"The longtime political journalist limns the rise of Trumpian nationalism in the face of a bewilderingly global world." —Kirkus Reviews

"This book will be one of the most influential books on sports ever written. It doesn't matter if you are a soccer or Real Madrid fan, you will look at sports and business in a different way after reading this book." &#151;Billy Beane, executive vice president of baseball operations and minority owner of the Oakland Athletics "The fact that Steven Mandis was given complete access into the inner sanctum of the richest football [soccer] club in the world testifies to the trust Real Madrid placed on Steven's head, which is quite amazing. This is the definitive, comprehensive survey on the essential workings of this famous club. It is an eye-opening account, clinical and done with a sensitive touch." &#151;Sir Alex Ferguson, manager of Manchester United 1986-2013 "With unprecedented behind-the-scenes access, this book is the most complete study of any sports team ever done, analyzing both on the field and off the field performance&#151; which leads to fascinating conclusions." &#151;David Stern, NBA commissioner emeritus "The book magisterially penetrates through all the mystique of Real Madrid, football [soccer] and sports. This is the ultimate look behind the regal velvet ropes and steel curtains both in the boardroom and locker room at the most successful and valuable team in sports, Real Madrid." &#151;Ray Hudson, soccer commentator for beIN Sport, retired English professional soccer player, and former MLS coach  "This book expands on and challenges aspects of Soccernomics and The Numbers Game because of Mandis's access and organizational considerations and reexamines and questions facets and applications of Moneyball." &#151;Francisco P&#233;rez Cuti&#241;o, whose graduate research at Cambridge University is referenced in Soccernomics  "This is much more than a book about a soccer team. If you love the NFL, MLB, or NBA, this book is a must-read because it will change the way you view your favorite team." &#151;Geoff Pope, cornerback for 2008 New York Giants, XLII Super Bowl Champions "No Real Madrid book, or sports book for that matter, has ever been written like it. Mandis's unique background in business and academics and outsider's perspective produces an essential book for any Madridista's library collection." &#151;Gabe Lezra, founder and editor-in-chief emeritus of ManagingMadrid.com "The Real Madrid Way delivers ground-breaking insights about the success formula for a legendary sports franchise. An in-depth exploration of organization culture provides a great balance to the role of sports analytics and makes this a must-read leadership book for anyone interested in sports management." &#151;Vince Gennaro, director of the Masters of Science in Sports Management program at Columbia University, author of Diamond Dollars: The Economics of Winning in Baseball, and president of the Society for American Baseball Research (SABR)  "Mandis explains the incredible power of community brands&#151;where a global community feels so deeply passionate about the brand that the brand is synonymous with one's identity, values and much more." &#151;Andrew Messick, CEO of IRONMAN "The Real Madrid Way explains how Real Madrid has created and maintained a culture that drives both financial and on-the-field success. An educational and inspiring example for sports fans and executives alike." &#151;Lindsay McGregor and Neel Doshi, cofounders of Vega Factor and New York Times bestselling coauthors of Primed to Perform: How to Build the Highest Performing Cultures Through the Science of Total Motivation  "Mandis has created a gripping narrative exploring how Real Madrid has done the seemingly impossible: used a strong culture and shared values to overcome the problem of the too-much-talent effect. The book is a must for anyone interested in culture, leadership, and high performance." &#151;Adam Galinsky, chair and Vikram S.

&ldquo;As she is one of the few female African Americans who play mbira, it is really important to hear [M&#257;hea Uchiyama&rsquo;s] perspective of mbira and how it has worked in her life.&rdquo;&mdash;From the foreword by Patience Chaitezvi Munjeri, Gwenyambira&ldquo;This is an important introduction to Zimbabwean mbira music for those from other continents. If you are attracted to mbira music, but are unfamiliar with its history and cultural significance and perhaps wonder whether it&rsquo;s really OK for you to play it, this book will answer all your questions!&rdquo;&mdash;Erica Azim, executive director of MBIRA (mbira.org)&ldquo;Mbira music and its culture teaches us to embrace our ancestors and tap into the spiritual richness that lies within ourselves. This book will take us on this magical journey.&rdquo;&mdash;Sheree Seretsem director of the Anzanga and Zambuko Marimba Ensembles,&#160;Seretse African Music Collective,&#160;University of Washington&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&ldquo;M&#257;hea highlights a compelling perspective and outlook into the discovery of the mbira music culture and that of the Shona culture.

Piwai, award-winning recording artist, percussionist, and&#160; Gwenyamibra"I wholeheartedly recommend M&#257;healani Uchiyama&rsquo;s book for western mbira students, beginners and experienced players alike. She takes a holistic approach to learning the music and its place within Shona culture rather than just breaking down the musical sounds. Central to her perspective is wise commentary on our roles as westerners in engaging with Shona music, pointing out that &lsquo;True respect for the mbira and its rich heritage must begin with an acknowledgment of the long history of Western peoples consuming, modifying, and decontextualizing artifacts and practices of other peoples.&rsquo;&rdquo;&mdash;Claire Jones, PhD,&#160;Zimbabwean Music Festival Coordinator

"Dreux Richard's Japan is instantly grim, yet always worthy of love. Possibly the last great work of expatriate writing from Japan. There will never be a book like this again."&mdash;Geraldine Harcourt, translator of Territory of Light by Tsushima Yuko"Every Human Intention is an absolute marvel, revealing the inner&#160;workings of modern-day Japan like no other work of literary nonfiction I have ever read. And it does so three different times: with immigration, elder care, and nuclear energy&mdash;in each case giving us the inside dope with the smooth story-telling expertise of a novelist. Every Human Intention has something to teach us all, whether an old Japan hand like me, or someone who has never set foot in the place."&mdash;Richard Wiley, author of Soldiers in Hiding and Commodore Perry's Minstrel Show&ldquo;Dreux Richard&rsquo;s rendering of contemporary Japan is full of universal resonances, particularly the pain and difficulty experienced by those who hope to belong. With nuances and subtleties, this book confronts major contemporary issues: migration and loss, international marriage and parenthood, nostalgia for a lost homeland, and the xenophobia endured by those who go in search of a home their heart can recognize. A moving and enlightening read.&rdquo;&mdash;Ha Jin, author of The Banished Immortal"Every Human Intention is an immensely eloquent and absorbing work. Dreux Richard writes with striking clarity and insight through vast landscapes&mdash;from towns in rural Japan to trade hubs in Nigeria. His wide embrace, allowing his subjects their full and complex humanity, is what I found most moving and extraordinary."&mdash;Jowhor Ile, author of And After Many Days&ldquo;Three unlikely neighbors are drawn together from Japan's sprawling hinterland in Dreux Richard's bold new book.&#160;Patient, sympathetic observation rendered in Richard's sure hand guides us through the small triumphs, thwarted hopes, tragic defeats of lives governed more-and-less visibly by immigration policy, the census, and the post-Fukushima nuclear regulatory regime. Richard mobilizes the fruits of remarkable research into the geological, political, and judicial dimensions of nuclear restart into breathtaking drama, such that only as an aftershock do we register the terrifying consequentiality of bureaucratic contingency&mdash;reigning over the best of intentions.&rdquo;&mdash;Norma Field, author of In the Realm of a Dying Emperor "Richard admires &lsquo;border-crossing writers&rsquo; who engage in a narrative style he likens to &lsquo;an illicit act of fence hopping&rsquo;. What could fit that description better than a book that seeks to weave a story of modern Japan from the strands of Nigerian immigration, population decline and nuclear catastrophe? Japan is a much stranger and more unsettling place than many observers grasp. Richard sets out, with a reporter&rsquo;s notebook and novelist's eye, to discover a different kind of truth about one of the most fascinating and bewildering countries on earth."&mdash;David Pilling, author of The Growth Delusion"Dreux Richard&rsquo;s Every Human Intention is a compelling study of contemporary Japan, based on fact but written with the elegance and eye for detail of fiction. As a keen witness and analyst, Richard uses characters and case studies to bring the reader important news from his years as an American reporter in Japan, someone gifted in eliciting innumerable otherwise hidden truths. He has a great gift for revealing the poetry in people, letting them tell the stories that have shaped their lives and will shape Japan&rsquo;s future. As a result, Every Human Intention is a book you almost hear whispering in your ear as you read it, telling you that this really is Japan right now and these are the people caught up in the complexity of the Japanese experience. Every Human Intention is vivid and captivating&mdash;a wonderfully written and powerful study of a fascinating country."&mdash;Robert Earle, diplomat and author of Iraq: Nights in the Pink Motel and North American Identities: Search for Community"Dreux Richard&rsquo;s Every Human Intention is a remarkable work of literary non-fiction. The author combines a journalist&rsquo;s eye for detail, a scholar&rsquo;s commitment to meticulous research and a poet&rsquo;s love of language with the empathy of a trusted friend to enable everyday people to tell of their lives enmeshed in three of the major challenges facing post-Fukushima Japan: immigration, population decline, and nuclear power.&#160;Every Human Intention has expanded my world. Most importantly, the crises investigated by Dreux Richard are not unique to Japan. Immigration, ageing populations and the need to fuel our unsustainable lifestyles are worldwide issues. Every Human Intention is a grim reminder of the urgent need to address these issues. I cannot recommend it too highly."&mdash;Lynley Hood, author of A City Possessed"A fascinating read for those of us who want to better understand modern Japan. Richard tells the stories of the often-overlooked humans behind sensationalist headlines about Japan's immigration and asylum system, rapidly aging population, and nuclear energy industry. Each narrative is told with both facts and empathy, keeping the reader hooked until the very end."&mdash;Grace Mineta, author of My Life in Japan"A work of truly original writing about Japan, a country that quietly offers the world some of its most intriguing visions of the future. Richard seamlessly interweaves reportage and the surreal, as though writing from another time whose time has come again."&mdash;J.B. MacKinnon, author of The Once and Future World&ldquo;Keenly observed . . . Richard illustrates the complexities of a nation . . . The book shines in its poignant profiles of elderly Japanese people in the &ldquo;second-class city&rdquo; of Wakkanai . . . Full of rich detail and nuanced insights.&rdquo;&mdash;Publishers Weekly&ldquo;Penetrating . . . An eye-opening, unique look at a bleak set of circumstances in a troubled nation.&rdquo;&mdash;Kirkus Reviews&ldquo;Richard presents a rich array of voices . . . Intriguing . . . I happily followed Mr. Richard as he described life in a declining peripheral port, or in the Nigerian diaspora, or as a scientist called upon to make post-Fukushima Japan safe again [and] there is drama in Mr. Richard&rsquo;s telling.&rdquo;&mdash;Wall Street Journal"This book is a deeply reported, beautifully written account of Japan's struggles with modernity as seen through the eyes of everyday people, notably a Nigerian immigrant, the citizens of a depopulated, fading town, and the contenders in an enervating battle over nuclear power. The three sections of the book are distinct, yet together they dovetail to reveal a country and people in transition as demography, democracy, and globalization force change. The author paints vivid images of a census taker, a small town mayor, a nuclear engineer, a rest-home aide, and dozens more. The prevailing tone is both elegiac and ultramodern, not unlike Donald Richie's masterpiece, 'The Inland Sea'; but where Richie captured Japan on the brink of its leap into economic hyperdrive, Richard describes the society's wrenching demographic and economic downshift. In this book, Dreux Richard establishes himself as an emerging talent in the grand tradition of literary journalism--a compassionate observer and a gifted reporter. I'll be eager to follow his writing wherever it leads next."&mdash;Jonathan Rauch, author of The Constitution of Knowledge
