An entertaining, educational, and strikingly illustrated guide to Earth's prehistoric eras and animals, from the New York Times bestselling author and illustrator of Women in Science
With an exciting blend of vivid artwork and astonishing scientific facts, Dinosaurs journeys through Earth’s inhospitable origins, when the only life-forms were single-celled organisms—to the beginnings of life as we know it during the Paleozoic plants covering whole continents with forests, winged insects taking to the sky, and seafaring vertebrates evolving to survive on land. Traveling forward in time, you’ll explore the Mesozoic Era, when the gargantuan Tyrannosaurus rex, the long-necked Brontosaurus, and the lumbering Stegosaurus walked the Earth. Then you’ll venture into the Cenozoic Era’s ice age, where you’ll meet mammals like the Woolly Mammoth and early humans.
Experience earth history like you’ve never seen it before with infographics, maps, and illustrations that bring fascinating extinct animals to life. Rachel Ignotofsky makes paleontology accessible and entertaining for readers of all ages in this stunningly illustrated journey across more than 4.5 billion years.

A riotous, Fellini-esque memoir from the famous artist and fashion photographer whose work helped define the look of a generation. A Shot in the Dark includes nearly one hundred photos, spanning decades of D’Orazio’s incomparable career.
Whether or not you know his name, you know his work.
As one of the top fashion photographers in the industry, Sante D’Orazio played a seminal role in shaping how we define what it is to be beautiful, cool, glamorous, and hot. The résumé of A-listers he has shot includes top supermodels—Helena Christensen, Cindy Crawford, Linda Evangelista, Kate Moss, Christy Turlington, and Naomi Campbell, among others—as well as a myriad of actors, artists, and athletes, including Pamela Anderson, Prince, Keith Richards, Axl Rose, Sophia Loren, Mickey Rourke, and Mike Tyson. In this intimate, riotous, rough-and-tumble memoir, D’Orazio writes of his many adventures and how he fought his way to the top while navigating a life of sex, drugs, hustlers, and panic attacks.
But beneath the surface of glamour and glitz, we find surprising depth. D’Orazio informs his narrative with artful meditations on the tensions that have defined his career and between the sacred and the profane; the commercial demands of fashion photography versus his personal art and his true love of painting; the nature of light and the disabling darkness of mood swings; ’80s glamour versus “heroin chic”; the mystic presence of Saint Padre Pio and the bacchanalia of Studio 54—from cocaine to Caravaggio.
Along the way, the author weaves together a vivid story of the Italian neighborhood in Brooklyn where he grew up and, especially, of his overly dramatic mother. The author chronicles his deeply personal, often hilarious, and always entertaining journey as he comes to terms with how the pull of his mother affected his many relationships with women—and informs the bond he has formed with his own son.
A Shot in the Dark is a shocking, sexy, and surprisingly revealing memoir that pulls you into the many frames of life.

Art & My Life Illuminated in Egg Tempera
is the memoir of a woman's quest to master the ancient art of egg tempera painting, gain confidence as an artist and find lasting love.
It’s 1966 and unaware of the brewing counterculture tsunami, Lora arrives in Berkeley, California where she is introduced to egg tempera, a homemade paint that combines colorful pigments with egg yolk. She falls in love with the luminous medium but cannot find a teacher to unravel its mysteries.
Art and love converge when Lora falls for a tender, charismatic artist. But after their eight-month immersion in the great museums of Europe, she follows him into a commune that she later realizes has become a cult.
Set against a backdrop of huge cultural changes—from the counterculture of the 1960s and back-to-the-land movement of the 1970s, to the AIDS epidemic and sex underground of the 1980s—Art & Love is a journey of creative and emotional fulfillment that captivates, educates and entertains the reader.
Arbrador’s stunning artwork enhances the narrative, inspiring those grappling with their own artistic expression and longing for love.
Includes Arbrador’s bonus essay “Which Came First? A Taste of Egg Tempera History.”
