“For Erin Brockovich fans, a David vs. Goliath tale with a twist” (The New York Times Book Review)—the incredible true story of the lawyer who spent two decades building a case against DuPont for its use of the hazardous chemical PFOA, uncovering the worst case of environmental contamination in history—affecting virtually every person on the planet—and the conspiracy that kept it a secret for sixty years. The story that inspired Dark Waters, the major motion picture from Focus Features starring Mark Ruffalo and Anne Hathaway, directed by Todd Haynes. 1998: Rob Bilott is a young lawyer specializing in helping big corporations stay on the right side of environmental laws and regulations. Then he gets a phone call from a West Virginia farmer named Earl Tennant, who is convinced the creek on his property is being poisoned by runoff from a neighboring DuPont landfill, causing his cattle and the surrounding wildlife to die in hideous ways. Earl hasn’t even been able to get a water sample tested by any state or federal regulatory agency or find a local lawyer willing to take the case. As soon as they hear the name DuPont—the area’s largest employer—they shut him down. Once Rob sees the thick, foamy water that bubbles into the creek, the gruesome effects it seems to have on livestock, and the disturbing frequency of cancer and other health problems in the area, he’s persuaded to fight against the type of corporation his firm routinely represents. After intense legal wrangling, Rob ultimately gains access to hundreds of thousands of pages of DuPont documents, some of them fifty years old, that reveal the company has been holding onto decades of studies proving the harmful effects of a chemical called PFOA, used in making Teflon. PFOA is often called a “forever chemical,” because once in the environment, it does not break down or degrade for millions of years, contaminating the planet forever. The case of one farmer soon spawns a class action suit on behalf of seventy thousand residents—and the shocking realization that virtually every person on the planet has been exposed to PFOA and carries the chemical in his or her blood. What emerges is a riveting legal drama “in the grand tradition of Jonathan Harr’s A Civil Action” (Booklist, starred review) about malice and manipulation, the failings of environmental regulation; and one lawyer’s twenty-year struggle to expose the truth about this previously unknown—and still unregulated—chemical that we all have inside us.

36 Exposures is a year-long suite of verse and image by Dominic J. Jaeckle and Hoagy Houghton. Over the course of a single year, Houghton would send Jaeckle three photographs a month from his archive; Jaeckle would respond with an accompanying poem or prose-work for each image. At the year's end, the resulting collection would cover twelve months-comprising 36 images and 36 reactions-and express itself as a roll of film in the abstract. A contact sheet spoilt by written interventions; an index of distractions and elaborations; an array of materials that pictures a false or disrupted communication as ideas are exchanged and images developed over the course of a calendar year. From the onset of the project to its end, Jaeckle and Houghton never met in person-this exchange of materials was their only means of communication-and thus, this collaboration is a form of conversation twelve-months wide and three-hundred-and-sixty-five days long. The texts number fragments, at turns essayistic and anecdotal (short verses, prose-poems, and assimilated citations)-the images are largely personal (snapshots, familiar faces, passing objects of interest and attention)-and this aleatory work of journal-ism and paean to the second-hand idea seeks to toy with the coalescence of a photograph and its caption, to play with a poetics of description, and to dramatize differing definitions of the very word, exposure.

From a New York Times–bestselling author: A woman on the run hides a secret in this novel from “a consistently excellent voice in romantic suspense fiction” (RT Book Reviews). Port Flannery is a harbor town off the coast of Washington state—quiet, picturesque, and just big enough to hide in for a while. At least that’s what Emma Sands hopes when she takes a room above the local cafe. Here, no one knows why Emma and her young daughter fled New Orleans. No one can guess how terrified she is that the danger they left behind is drawing nearer every day. Emma is right to be scared. Even as she finds new friends and an unexpected ally in the rugged, compelling Sheriff Donnelly, it’s only a matter of time before her old life catches up. Because the obsession that drove her from the Big Easy will track her down, even in a place as Port Flannery. And this time, there will be nowhere left to run . . . “Susan Andersen keeps on delivering captivating and thrilling novels of dangerous love and dark suspense.” —RT Book Reviews
