In stores now: Maureen Quillgan's WHEN WOMEN RULED THE WORLD is a game-changing revisionist history, in which a leading scholar of the Renaissance shows how four powerful women —Mary Tudor; Elizabeth I; Mary, Queen of Scots; and Catherine de’ Medici— redefined the culture of European monarchy in the glorious sixteenth century. Vibrantly chronicling the artistic creativity and political ingenuity that flourished in the pockets of peace created by these four queens, Quilligan’s lavishly illustrated work offers a new perspective on the glorious sixteenth century and, crucially, the women who helped create it.

Happy #PubDay to @seth.wickersham, author of the new book IT'S BETTER TO BE FEARED: THE NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS DYNASTY AND THE PURSUIT OF GREATNESS! It's the explosive account of football’s greatest dynasty―from the ESPN reporter who's been there from the beginning. @sptguy33 of @ringer proclaims that “Seth Wickersham has managed to do the impossible: he has pulled off the definitive document of the Belichick/Brady dynasty,” while Chad Finn of @bostonglobe calls it “[A]n honest, sprawling, meticulously reported, and beautifully written portrayal of perhaps the greatest and probably the most unlikely dynasty in modern professional sports . . . [Wickersham] draws richly detailed portraits of Brady, Belichick, the dynasty’s third constant in owner Robert Kraft, and how their personalities and relationships changed through the years . . . 'It’s Better To Be Feared' is the accounting the Patriots dynasty deserves."
IT'S BETTER TO BE FEARED is available now wherever books are sold!
