Rizzoli Electa

Elizabeth Semmelhack

The coffee table book FUTURE NOW: Virtual Sneakers to Cutting-Edge Kicks, looks at how shoe design pushes the boundaries of what takes place in the real and virtual world. These innovations are because of advanced technologies, ground-breaking materials and new ways of thinking about what a shoe can be!

In this book, we get to see what shoe designers are doing for futuristic shoes whether it's implementing 3-D printing or smart technologies. It also looks at sustainable materials such as "leather" from mushrooms and soles that are used from reclaimed ocean plastics.

This book also looks at the role that they play in gaming from Grand Theft Audio to Fortnite. It also looks at NFTS and how they have allowed sneakers to be collected in this new space.

There are a number of interviews from the hottest designers including: Iris van Herpen, Steven Smith, Eric Avar and more. They share the creative process, what their influences are and where the future of design is going.

They also honor footwear innovations from the past that have led to where we are now.

America's Test Kitchen

Whether you're pre-workout, post-workout, maintaining your goals or improving your health - America's Test Kitchen's The Everyday Athlete Cookbook, is one that you should have on your bookshelves.

The recipes featured were created in conjunction with a clinical dietician. Recipes include: Pumpkin Spice Waffles with Yogurt and Blueberries, Lamb Meatballs with Lemony Wild Rice and Artichokes and One-Pan Coffee Rubbed Steak with Sweet Potatoes and Apples. We also enjoyed seeing that they have a recipe for a homemade Powerade!

This book also includes an array of dietary specifications like plant-based or dairy-free. Dishes are flavorful, easy and quick to make. We also like that these recipes can be made ahead and there is storage information that is included as well.

THE MEASURE

Deckle Edge

Nikki Erlick

In The Measure, we meet 8 everyday people who have one extraordinary choice. On any given day, they lead pretty regular lives until one day, they open their door and find a wooden box that lets you know the exact number of years that you will live! Every person on every continent receives this and everyone is in a state of hysteria over this. Ultimately, everyone wonders - do you want to know how long you will live and with this knowledge, what do you do?

We get to know more about these 8 individuals as we watch them navigate their new reality and how their choices have bigger implications than what they had before.
