A candid work of nonfiction from provocative Esquire columnist Stephen Marche—with interjections from his wife, writer Sarah Fulford—exploring the complicated, changing relationship between men and women in today's society.We are in the middle of a revolution of everyday life, one that can be found everywhere that men and women coexist. In the office. In families. In houses. On the street. Online. In bed. As we encounter each of these situations, we ask ourselves: Who has the power? How much can we say? What are we expected to sacrifice? Is it possible to be equal? The conversation about the relationship between men and women—both in our individual lives and as a society—has never been louder. Now, with a refreshing and honest voice, Stephen Marche delivers his vision for what true equality between men and women really means and what it could look like.

Since he was a small boy, Mosab Hassan Yousef has had an inside view of the deadly terrorist group Hamas. The oldest son of Sheikh Hassan Yousef, a founding member of Hamas and its most popular leader, young Mosab assisted his father for years in his political activities while being groomed to assume his legacy, politics, status… and power. But everything changed when Mosab turned away from terror and violence, and embraced instead the teachings of another famous Middle East leader. In Son of Hamas , Mosab Yousef—now called “Joseph”—reveals new information about the world’s most dangerous terrorist organization and unveils the truth about his own role, his agonizing separation from family and homeland, the dangerous decision to make his newfound faith public, and his belief that the Christian mandate to “love your enemies” is the only way to peace in the Middle East.

A memoir of startling insight, divine comedy, and irreversible, unconscionable stupidityFans of Jason Mulgrew's wildly popular blog know that everything really is wrong with him. The product of a raucous, not-just-semi-but-fully-dysfunctional Philadelphia family, Jason has seen it all—from Little League games of unspeakable horror to citywide parades ending in stab wounds; from hard-partying longshoremen fathers to feathered-hair, no-nonsense, kindhearted mothers; and from conscience-crippling Catholic dogmas to the equally confounding religion of women. With chapter titles like "My Bird: Inadequacy and Redemption" (no, he is not referring to a parakeet) and "On the Relationship Between Genetics and Hustling," Everything Is Wrong with Me proves that, as Jason puts it, "writing is a fantastical exercise in manic depression"—but he never fails to ensure that laughter is part of the routine.With echoes of Jean Shepherd transplanted to Philly in the eighties and nineties,...
