Stamped from the Beginning: The Definitive History of Racist Ideas in America by Ibram X. Kendi (Bold Type Books, Nonfiction on sale April 12, 2016):”The Definitive History of Racist Ideas in America.” Bad Ideas can’t be evicted from society; they stick around forever.

The People vs. Democracy: Why Our Freedom Is in Danger and How to Save It by Yascha Mounk (Harvard University Press, Nonfiction on sale March 6): The staggering ineptitude of vapid “journalists” wielding complex ideas like nationalism and populism places the non-clickbait burden on deftly written books to redeem and restore what the media has so foolishly trampled. Consensus is never a goal. Consensus is not validation. #NewBookAlert for March 9, 2018

"America is not a democracy," says Harvard professor @Yascha_Mounk. In an arresting essay, adapted from from his forthcoming book *The People vs. Democracy* (March 5), he explains how this happened and what we can do about it. https://t.co/cI48Io2Ls6 pic.twitter.com/Z3xukLkCCF

If you’re determined to build an empire Zack O’Malley Greenburg’s books are the blueprints. #NewBookAlert for March 9, 2018

Get ready for ‘3 Kings’ — @SteveForbesCEO calls it the “definitive, absorbing history of hip-hop and its three mega-giants. It reads better than an adventure novel and provides highly useful entrepreneurial lessons for anyone who wants to achieve success."https://t.co/UOicXvAcK5
