Paperback. Condition: Very Good. NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER . "A compelling true-crime tale" (Elle) from an award-winning journalist about a murder in Italy and the controversial prosecution, wrongful conviction, and yearslong sentencing of Amanda Knox-featuring a new epilogue "Clear-eyed, sweeping, honest, and tough . . . This is what long-form journalism is all about."-Tim Egan, author of The Worst Hard Time The sexually violent murder of Meredith Kercher in Perugia, Italy, became a media sensation when Kercher's housemate, Seattle native Amanda Knox, and her Italian boyfriend were arrested and charged with the murder. The story drew an international cult obsessed with "Foxy Knoxy," a pretty honor student on a junior year abroad, who either woke up one morning into a nightmare of superstition and misogyny-the dark side of Italy-or participated in something unspeakable. The Fatal Gift of Beauty is Nina Burleigh's literary investigation of the murder, the prosecution, and the conviction and twenty-six-year sentence of Knox. But it is also a thoughtful, compelling examination of an enduring mystery, an ancient, storied place, and a disquieting facet of Italian culture: an obsession with female sexuality. …

Hardback. Condition: Good. New York Times bestselling author and award-winning journalist, Nina Burleigh, explores Donald Trump?s attitudes toward women by providing in-depth analysis and background on the women who have had the most profound influence on his life?the mother and grandmother who raised him, the wives who lived with him, and the daughter who is poised to inherit it all.Has any president in the history of the United States had a more fraught relationship with women than Donald Trump? He flagrantly cheated on all three of his wives, brushed off multiple accusations of sexual assault, publicly ogled his eldest daughter, bought the silence of a porn star and a Playmate, and proclaimed his now-infamous seduction technique: ?grab ?em by the pussy.? Golden Handcuffs is a comprehensive and provocative account of the women who have been closest to Trump?his German-immigrant grandmother, Elizabeth, the uncredited founder of the Trump Organization; his Scottish-immigrant mother, Mary, who acquired a taste for wealth as a maid in the Andrew Carnegie mansion; his wives?Ivana, Marla, and Melania (the first and third of whom are immigrants); and his eldest daughter, Ivanka, groomed to take over the Trump brand from a young age. Also examined are Trump?s two older sisters, one of whom is a prominent federal judge; his often-overlooked younger daughter, Tiffany; his female employees; and those he calls ?liars??the women who have accused him of sexual misconduct. Of these women, Burleigh writes, ?where they come from and what they do now and in the future matters because they have or have had the ear of the most powerful man on earth..…

Paperback. Condition: Good. The exciting story of the first-ever moon landing-a perfect way to introduce young readers to that pivotal moment in human history! On July 20, 1969, Neil Armstrong became the first person in history to set foot on the moon.
