Now, these photographs are shared with the nation. Selecting the finest and most historic images from the White House’s exclusive collection, Trump: A Presidential Portrait is a visually stunning all-access pass to the 45th presidency. These extraordinary images portray both the grandest and most intimate moments, offering an insider’s look beyond the gates of the White House, and behind closed doors of the Oval Office, the Situation Room, and Air Force One, as well as President Trump’s official trips across the nation and the world. Accompanied by quotations from the president’s speeches, Trump: A Presidential Portrait offers a unique window of many of the most consequential events of the President’s term: the appointments of Supreme Court Justices Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh, the construction of the border wall, the White House Situation Room on the day of the raid that killed ISIS leader al-Baghdadi, the seventy-fifth anniversary commemoration of D-Day. We also see Trump perform the solemn duties of the commander-in-chief: addressing the troops at military bases across the globe, awarding the Medal of Honor, and visiting Arlington National Cemetery. And there are intimate, private scenes of the President and First Lady at the White House, as they entertain foreign dignitaries and share quiet moments with family. Featuring more than 250 photographs in gorgeous full-color, here is the first book to gather the official photographs of the Trump White House—and an essential visual documentary of American history.

Gathering Moss is a beautifully written mix of science and personal reflection that invites readers to explore and learn from the elegantly simple lives of mosses. In these interwoven essays, Robin Wall Kimmerer leads general readers and scientists alike to an understanding of how mosses live and how their lives are intertwined with the lives of countless other beings. Kimmerer explains the biology of mosses clearly and artfully, while at the same time reflecting on what these fascinating organisms have to teach us. Drawing on her experiences as a scientist, a mother, and a Native American, Kimmerer explains the stories of mosses in scientific terms as well as within the framework of indigenous ways of knowing. In her book, the natural history and cultural relationships of mosses become a powerful metaphor for ways of living in the world.
