Object Lessons is a series of short, beautifully designed books about the hidden lives of ordinary things. Our sense of smell is crucial to our survival. We can smell fear, disease, food. Fragrance is also entertainment. We can smell an expensive bottle of perfume at a high-end department store. Perhaps it reminds us of our favorite aunt. A memory in a bottle is a powerful thing. Megan Volpert's Perfume carefully balances the artistry with the science of perfume. The science takes us into the neurology of scent receptors, how taste is mostly smell, the biology of illnesses that impact scent sense, and the chemistry of making and copying perfume. The artistry of perfume involves the five scent families and symbolism, subjectivity in perfume preference, perfume marketing strategies, iconic scents and perfumers, why the industry is so secretive, and Volpert's own experiments with making perfume. Object Lessons is published in partnership with an essay series in The Atlantic.

The pioneering, incisive, lavishly illustrated survey of noir on television—the first of its kind Noir—as a style, movement, or sensibility—has its roots in hardboiled detective fiction by writers like Chandler and Hammett, and films adapted from their novels were among the first called “film noir” by French cineÌ?astes. But film isn’t the only medium with a taste for a dark story. Hundreds of noir dramas have been produced for television, featuring detectives and femmes fatales, gangsters, and dark deeds, continuing week after week, with a new disruption of the social order. In TV Noir, television historian Allen Glover presents the first complete study of the subject. Deconstructing its key elements with astute analysis, from NBC’s adaptation of Woolrich’s The Black Angel to the anthology programs of the ’40s and ’50s, from the classic period of Dragnet, M Squad, and 77 Sunset Strip to neo-noirs of the ’60s and ’70s including The Fugitive, Kolchak, and Harry O., this is the essential volume on TV noir.

Judgement Day has arrived. I'm Cassia Delamore. A war between demons and angels will determine the fate of humanity, and my family is right in the middle of it. Injured from a previous battle, Faline can no longer fight like she used to, and we're outnumbered at every turn. Cairo and Thames have sworn to keep us safe, but our enemies are determined to bring hell straight to Earth. Resisting the rule of an insane angel with massive power and formidable allies might as well be impossible. We are fighting a battle we cannot win alone. Our foe has an army, so we must find one of our own, and convince others to join our cause. The freedom of the world, as well as the destiny of the angels and demons, lies in our hands. Death is fated and loss is certain. In the end, one of us must sacrifice everything to keep the ones we love alive. This war will change everything. When the truth of our origins are revealed and hell unleashes chaos, nothing will ever be the same.

Love can be immortal. Cassia’s heart belongs to two men who aren’t exactly human. Cairo is the captain of the football team, all-around hero... and also part angel. Thames is a bad boy biker and has demon blood. Faline is the best supernatural hunter there is. When her path crosses with Cassia’s, she finds herself caught up in a similar romance, which exposes the truth about her dark past. There’s an angel hell bent on taking control of the human race. He longs to turn his idea of heaven on earth into reality, but his utopia resembles a dictatorship more than a paradise. The two girls are the only ones who can stop Judgement Day. Will true love and the bonds of sisterhood be enough to restore peace? Angels & Demons: The Complete Series is a young adult paranormal angel romance featuring hot heroes, strong heroines, and diverse characters. This magical fantasy world will immerse readers in supernatural battles, where angels hunt demons and love is eternal. Featured in the 2018 FOX Teen Choice Awards Gift Baskets!
