I used to think I would never be able to run a marathon as 26.2 miles was an impossible distance. When I envisioned marathon runners, they were a separate category of humans. Occasionally though, just for a moment, I would imagine how great it would feel to cross that finish line. What an accomplishment! Just as quickly as the thought entered, I would laugh and shake it out. Nope, not possible. Just like that, it went into storage; a place in the back of my mind I call the impossible box because once a dream was closed inside I wouldn’t even try. It would sit there next to the other things I thought I could never do or the goals I would accomplish someday. Can you relate? If you do, this book is for you. Not just inspirational, it explains methodologies to enact behavior changes to help you dream big, set goals, and follow through. By the time you get to the end of this book you will have the tools and motivation you need to succeed. Throw out your impossible box. Take the steps that will move you in the direction you want to go and don't stop until you get there.

A masterwork of culinary genius: inside the kitchen at "trailblazing" (Eater) chef Homaro Cantu's Moto -- one of the most innovative restaurants in history. At Chicago's world-renowned, Michelin-starred restaurant Moto, Homaro Cantu pushed the limits of cuisine to deliver an unforgettable experience at the intersection of food, art, and science. Each meal reimagined what cooking could be: edible menus imbued with the flavors of the dishes to follow, carbonated fruit that fizzed when bitten, a transparent box that cooked fish in front of your eyes. Chef Cantu's work in the kitchen continues to captivate the imagination, delight the palate, and articulate how futuristic food can help solve global ills like hunger, poverty, and environmental destruction. From his "zero food mile" kitchen garden to experiments with miracle berries to end our reliance on sugar, Cantu's mission was to serve dinner with a side of changing the world. Featuring hundreds of stunning photographs, Moto: The Cookbook is a living record of a restaurant and a chef who defined modernist cuisine. It reveals the inspiration and groundbreaking techniques behind 100 of Cantu's most influential and extraordinary dishes, and traces his development from a young chef to a mind on the cutting edge of American food. Moto: The Cookbook will inspire cooks of all abilities.

For nearly 60 years, Star Trek has imagined humanity's future while reflecting its present. Star Trek: The Original Series debuted with three male leads, but in the wake of a Trek renaissance that began with Star Trek: Discovery in 2017, additional series have explored the frontiers of representation, making the present moment ripe for new critical engagement and thoughtful reflection on the narratives that have shaped the journey thus far. Using the lens of feminist criticism and theory, this collection of essays presents a diverse array of academic and fan scholars engaging with the past, present, and future of Star Trek. Contributors consider issues like Klingon marriage, Majel Barrett's legacy, the Bechdel-Wallace test, LGBTQ+ representation, and more. They offer updated readings on legacy characters while also addressing wholly new characters like Michael Burnham, Beckett Mariner, and Adira Tal. Their essays provide some of the first critical examinations of the newest additions to the Trek franchise, including Picard, Strange New Worlds and Lower Decks.

Super powers. A time machine. What could possibly go wrong? (The third book in the Space and Time series: first read The Cowboy, the Empathy Kitten and the Cube) The universe is under threat from a killer robot arm from outer space. It seems everyone is after that arm, including Britain's MI7, Russia's KGB2, the Intergalactic Bureau of Investigation (known as the Men in Tweed) and the terrifying Space Police in their size 23 razorboots. If anyone can save the day, it's the Companions in Space and Time. But just as the team get on top of the situation, Area 51 scientist Isaac Dewey Thinker reveals the truth: the robot, hellbent on destroying every living thing in the universe, can be destroyed only when fully assembled. A dark yet playfully comic science fiction adventure for those up for a wild ride through space and time.
