A story of defiance and determination by a controversial scientist, this is Lee Berger's own take on finding Homo naledi, an all-new species on the human family tree and one of the greatest discoveries of the 21st century.

The Tour de France is always one of the most spectacular and dramatic events in sports. But the 1998 Tour provided drama like no other.

What do you do when your world ends? At 28 years old, Krista Schlyer sold almost everything she owned and packed the rest of it in a station wagon bound for the American wild.

The college basketball scandals of 1951 were to basketball what the 1919 Black Sox scandals were to baseball - a loss of innocence, after which the game would be permanently tarnished, its relationship to power and big money firmly established. In Scandals of '51, Charley Rosen identifies all the major figures - including players, coaches, gangsters, clergymen, politicians - that made up the elaborate network that controlled the outcomes to many games or protected those who did so.

My life was exactly where I wanted it. I reached everything that I was working so hard to get, and I was steadily moving forward. Then a nasty controversial pandemic started the landslide that was becoming my new life. I was viewed as an anti-vaxxer and sent home from the hospital with a fever of 104deg and positive for COVID-19 pneumonia.
