Despite being unanimously projected to go first overall in the upcoming NHL Draft, Noah Anderson wants nothing more than to get the Draft over with so he can escape his dad's unrelenting criticism and establish himself outside the rivalry he's never tried to fuel.Alex Valencia can handle getting picked second after a guy touted as the next Gretzky-but he can't wrap his head around the fact that Noah is the one friend he can't make.When the draft lottery all but guarantees they'll play for rival teams, Alex accidentally walks them right into a loser-buys dinner competition, ensuring their relationship remains a point of interest long after the season begins.Opposites in so many ways, neither Alex nor Noah expect a relationship built on the begrudging acceptance of a challenge made on live television to become so deeply important to them. But as the line between chirping and flirting blurs, they both must decide how much they're willing to sacrifice to play in the NHL.

From entomologist Barrett Klein comes a buzz-worthy exploration of the many ways insects have affected human society, history, and cultureAs heard on Science Friday. Insects surround us. They fuel life on Earth through their roles as pollinators, predators, and prey, but rarely do we consider the outsize influence they have had on our culture and civilization. Their anatomy and habits inform how we live, work, create art, and innovate. Featuring nearly 250 color images—from ancient etchings to avant-garde art, from bug-based meals to haute couture—The Insect Epiphany proves that our world would look very different without insects, not just because they are crucial to our ecosystems, but because they have shaped and inspired so many aspects of what makes us human.

"Humans have learned a lot about the world around us and the universe beyond. We have had powerful insights and created profound theories about the universe and everything in it. Surely the ultimate theory must be waiting, just beyond our current knowledge. Well, maybe. In Into the Unknown, astrophysicist Kelsey Johnson takes us to the edge of scientific understanding about the universe: What caused the Big Bang? What happens inside black holes? Are there other dimensions? She doesn't just celebrate what we know but rather what we don't, and asks what it means if we never find that knowledge. Exploring the convergence of science, philosophy, and theology, Johnson argues we must reckon with possibilities-including those that may be beyond human comprehension. The very places where we run smack into total ignorance are the places where the most important questions-about the philosophy of knowledge, the nature of our cosmos, and even the existence of God-await. As accessible as it is profound, Into the Unknown invites each of us to join in the great quest for knowledge"--

In Considering Horsemanship one of America's most prolific and devoted equestrian writers, Tom Moates, returns taking an all new approach to thinking about horsemanship. The subtitle sums it up: A Book of Ideas Inspired By Two Decades of Harry Whitney Horsemanship Clinic Journals. Moates revisits the tattered pages of a pile of clinic notebooks filled with observations and insights scribbled down at round pens, arenas, bunkhouses, and barns across America and over the years-then each chapter kicks off with a thought provoking quote from his mentor plucked from those pages. These sage remarks become launching points for in depth discussions on aspects of horsemanship with unique insights, inspirations, and often comical queries in Moates's celebrated style. For more on Tom Moates, his other 12 horse books, and his horsemanship clinics please visit: www.TomMoates.com.
