How to Fall Out of Love Madly
by Jana Casale&“Three relatable thirty somethings drive this ode to womanhood. Learning the hard way to love themselves, the women teach invaluable lessons.&”—People &“Everyone who loves Sally Rooney should be reading Jana Casale!&”—Julie Buntin, author of Marlena Three women confront the compromises they&’ve made to appease the men they love. Joy and Annie are friends and roommates whose thirty-something lives aren&’t exactly what they&’d imagined. To make ends meet, they decide to rent their extra bedroom to Theo, who charms Joy with his salt-and-pepper hair and adoration of their one-eyed cat. When Annie goes to live with her boyfriend, Theo and Joy settle into a comfortable domesticity. Then Theo brings home Celine, the girlfriend he&’s never mentioned, who is possibly the most stunning woman Joy has ever seen. Joy resolves to do whatever it takes to hold on to him, falling ever deeper into an emotional hellscape of her own making. She is too obsessed to realize that Celine&’s beauty doesn&’t protect her from pain. Haunted by an event from her past, Celine can&’t escape her shame and finds herself in an endless cycle of self-sabotage. Annie is baffled by Joy&’s senseless devotion to Theo, but she&’s consumed by her own obsessions: she can&’t stop parsing her commitment-phobic boyfriend&’s texts in an exhausting mission to maintain his approval. At work, where she fully embraces her natural assertiveness, Annie is a star. But when an anonymous letter lands on her desk accusing her esteemed and supportive boss of sexual misconduct, she is forced to decide who and what she&’s willing to stand up for. Perceptive, mordantly funny, and full of heart, How to Fall Out of Love Madly examines women&’s many relationships—with one another, their mothers, their work, men, and themselves—to reveal their underlying power and complexity. It asks, why do so many smart, compassionate, otherwise empowered women tolerate egregious behavior from the men they love? And what will it take for them to reclaim control?

Then, a year later, the unthinkable happens. Iris&’s ex-girlfriend, Heather, goes missing, too—just after dropping the polarizing last episode of her true crime podcast all about Iris&’s sister. This time, nothing will stop Iris and her amateur sleuthing agency from solving these disappearances. But with a suspicious detective watching her every move, an enemy-turned-friend-turned-maybe-more to contend with, and only thirty days until she turns eighteen, it&’s a race against the clock for Iris to solve the most dangerous case of her life.

How to Guard an Art Gallery and Other Discrete Mathematical Adventures
by T.S. MichaelWhat is the maximum number of pizza slices one can get by making four straight cuts through a circular pizza? How does a computer determine the best set of pixels to represent a straight line on a computer screen? How many people at a minimum does it take to guard an art gallery?Discrete mathematics has the answer to these—and many other—questions of picking, choosing, and shuffling. T. S. Michael's gem of a book brings this vital but tough-to-teach subject to life using examples from real life and popular culture. Each chapter uses one problem—such as slicing a pizza—to detail key concepts about counting numbers and arranging finite sets. Michael takes a different perspective in tackling each of eight problems and explains them in differing degrees of generality, showing in the process how the same mathematical concepts appear in varied guises and contexts. In doing so, he imparts a broader understanding of the ideas underlying discrete mathematics and helps readers appreciate and understand mathematical thinking and discovery.This book explains the basic concepts of discrete mathematics and demonstrates how to apply them in largely nontechnical language. The explanations and formulas can be grasped with a basic understanding of linear equations.

The guide is intended for team leaders, project managers, HR professionals, organization consultants, trainers, and anyone who must take a leadership role to get their job done. Rees is a Phoenix-based consultant who specializes in team development, team leadership, and facilitation training. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
