Ninth Street Women is the impassioned, wild and sometimes tragic always exhilarating chronicle of five women who dared to enter the male-dominated world of 20th-century abstract paintingnot as muses but as artists.

The author Bob Woodward reveals in unprecedented detail the harrowing life inside President Donald Trump’s White House and precisely how he makes decisions on major foreign and domestic policies.

Woodward draws from hundreds of hours of interviews with firsthand sources, meeting notes, personal diaries, files and documents. The focus is on the explosive debates and the decision-making in the Oval Office, the Situation Room, Air Force One and the White House residence.

Fear is the most intimate portrait of a sitting president ever published during the president’s first years in office.

*Leadership in Turbulent Times

Are leaders born or made?. Where does ambition come from?. How does adversity affect the growth of leadership?. Does the leader make the times or do the times make the leader?.

 Doris Kearns Goodwin draws upon the four presidents she has studied most closely Abraham Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt, Franklin D. Roosevelt and Lyndon B. Johnson in civil rights to show how they recognized leadership qualities within themselves and were recognized as leaders by others.

This perennial bestselling author who traffics in military slash spy thrillers has managed to make a couple of accurate predictions over his career. It was this installment of his popular Jack Ryan series in which the story climaxes ''spoiler alert'' with a hijacked 747 crashing into the Capitol building.  While the novel is about a fictionalized conflict between the U.S. and Japan.

Falconer by Dana Czapnik

Novelist ”Ann Patchett” Co-owner of ”Parnassus” Books in Nashville, Tennessee, praised debut novel ”Falconer” by Dana Czapnik.
