Set a year after the fall of the Garlitz cult

and faith of early Amish settlers in the New World

making a compelling case that progress stems from collective adaptation rather than individual genius

Charles Howard was a onetime bicycle repairman who introduced the automobile to the western United States and became an overnight millionaire

which brilliantly reveals that the very worst lies are the ones we tell ourselves

gathering information about the other party

reveals the secrets behind the sequins against the backdrop of the high-pressure sport of world-class figure skating

With poetic and precise storytelling

A few recipes for fish and shellfish run counter to the book's vegetarian emphasis

A must-read for lovers of New York history
