Publishing This Week
Hello,

This week brings 21 new and notable books. Two that caught my eye are The Woman with the Cure by Lynn Cullen, about Dorothy Horstmann who played an integral role in creating the polio vaccine, and I Have Some Questions for You by Pulitzer and National Book Award finalist Rebecca Makkai.

Also, The Great Displacement by Jake Bittle, a tough but important book that tells the personal stories of the communities that are already being torn apart by climate change, and the implications for those of us who might so far have been spared from personal impact; and The Hard Parts, a memoir by Oksana Masters who triumphed over the physical challenges she was born with, due to radiation from the Chernobyl disaster, to become the most decorated winter Paralympic athlete.

As always, you'll find 10 books below, and full information on all 21 in our New This Week section (under the "New" menu tab).

BookBrowse's "New" section is also home to our Publishing by Month lists. If you want to look forward in time to see what's coming soon, or back to previous months, check it out! You can sort each month by publication date, genre and title.

Enjoy!
