A Father's Quiet Legacy of Baseball, Blood, and Endurance by Walter A. Beede is a deeply moving memoir that traces one man's journey from childhood fracture to fatherhood, shaped by the steadfast, unspoken presence of his own father. Walter grew up in the blue-collar neighborhoods of Lynn and Fitchburg, Massachusetts. The house feels emptier, the winters sharper. What remains is Freddy Beede, factory worker, coach, and quiet architect of a life built on showing up. With callused hands and dry humor, Freddy never lectures; he simply models discipline, sacrifice, and endurance.

Why are measures of stress and anxiety on the rise when economists and politicians tell us we have never had it so good? While statistics tell us that the vast majority of people are getting steadily richer, the world most of us experience day in and day out feels increasingly uncertain, unfair, and ever more expensive. In Angrynomics, Eric Lonergan and Mark Blyth explore the rising tide of anger, sometimes righteous and useful, sometimes destructive and ill-targeted, and propose radical new solutions for an increasingly polarized and confusing world.
