Last spring, after a particularly grueling schedule, Gwyneth Paltrow was feeling fatigued and faint. A visit to her doctor revealed that she was anemic, vitamin D deficient, and that her stress levels were sky high. He prescribed an elimination diet to clear out her system and help her body heal. But this meant no processed food at all. Paltrow was concerned that so many restrictions would make mealtime boring, so, together with Julia Turshen, she compiled a collection of 185 delicious, easy recipes that followed her doctor's guidelines. After changing her diet, Paltrow healed totally, felt more energetic and looked great. Now, in It's All Good, she shares the dishes that have become the baseline for the restorative diet she turns to whenever she feels she needs it.

Edward O. Wilson has distilled 60 years of teaching into a book for students, young and old. Reflecting on his coming-of-age in the South as a Boy Scout and a lover of ants and butterflies, Wilson threads these 21 letters, each richly illustrated, with autobiographical anecdotes that illuminate his career—both his successes and his failures—and his motivations for becoming a biologist. From the collapse of stars to the exploration of rain forests and the oceans’ depths, Wilson instills a love of the innate creativity of science and a respect for the human being’s modest place in the planet’s ecosystem in his readers.

The Way of the Knife is a riveting account of the transformation of the CIA and America’s special operations forces into man-hunting and killing machines. The most momentous change in American warfare over the past decade has taken place away from the battlefields of Afghanistan and Iraq, in the corners of the world where large armies can’t go. This is the untold story of that shadow war and how America has pursued its enemies with killer drones and special operations troops, trained privateers for assassination missions and relied on mercurial dictators and proxy armies. This new approach to war may be viewed as a lower cost alternative to the messy wars of occupation but it has also fomented resentments among allies, fueled instability and created new weapons unbound by the normal rules of accountability during wartime.
