The Japanese phrase “hodo-hodo” originates in ancient times. When contemporary designer Taku Satoh applies it to his work, it means “just enough.” Hodo-hodo design deliberately holds back, leaving room for individuals to engage with objects according to their unique sensibilities. In the midst of a consumerist age, Satoh has built an illustrious design career around this philosophy, creating iconic work in fashion, food, and architecture. His ideas speak not just to professional designers, but to anyone who wishes to move more thoughtfully through the world. Within this slim but powerful volume, Satoh explains his philosphy through tangible examples—from the aesthetic of a timeworn ramen shop to a rooftop playground inspired by onomatopaeia. Urging readers to appreciate everyday objects and spaces and to question the lure of convenience, he delivers a message rooted in the past yet perfectly suited to our times.

This third book in K.A. Holt’s The Kids Under the Stairs series will appeal to fans of HOUSE ARREST, RHYME SCHEMER, and KNOCKOUT, in addition to fans of Jason Reynolds’s Track series. Jordan J has a lot going on in his brain. Aside from his teacher and his friends, the kids under the stairs, most people don’t understand why Jordan says what he says. Sometimes even he doesn’t understand himself. It’s probably the reason he’s managed to earn a personal grudge from the school’s dance team, the Hart Rocketeers, who are outraged by his brutally honest dance reviews in the school newspaper. Basically the only thing he can concentrate on these days is auditioning for his favorite dance show, FIERCE ACROSS AMERICA. But with his mom’s recent unemployment and money being so tight at home, his dreams are crashing. Suddenly, an opportunity arises in the form of Casey Price, the only Rocketeer who doesn’t hate his guts. With her help, Jordan J just might have a chance to showcase his electric moves on national TV. But as he starts spending more time with Casey and less with his old friends, Jordan J begins to wonder how he can ever make everyone happy—including himself. With a lovable cast of characters, never-before-seen dance moves, and bighearted passion, this heartwarming, laugh-out-loud novel-in-verse tells an honest, authentic story about friendship, dance, and self-confidence that celebrates different types of intelligence and shows how every kid deserves to become their own “divergent” self.

Disco Cube Cocktails is a '70s-inspired cocktail book based on the magical properties of ice. With 100+ recipes for artful ice and the drinks that go with them, home bartenders can learn new icy creations to elevate any classic drink, infuse new flavor into a sipper as the ice melts, or impress friends at a party with a frosty punch bowl.

Plus, you'll find playlists at the beginning of each chapter, to set the mood for any occasion. Recipes include innovative sips such as: • Rose Cubes in a White Negroni • Jalapeño ice for an evolving margarita • A Golden Bloody Mary that shifts from sweet to savory as the ice melts • The Walter Gibbons with a Red Onion Raft • White peach spheres for a cool take on a classic Bellini A great gift for cocktail and bartending enthusiasts, home cocktail makers and entertainers, drink-nerds who love cocktail history, and anyone who enjoys experimentation.
