It can mislead and manipulate the listener, sometimes intentionally and sometimes not, all while feigning objectivity and neutrality. • For example, Emperor Squirrel isn’t naked; he simply has a clothes-free sartorial style: • In An Illustrated Book of Loaded Language, Mr. Rabbit shines a light on linguistic sleights of hand to show us how the language we construct and consume shapes how we perceive the world around us. He teaches readers to recognize language that shifts blame, erases responsibility, uses dog whistles, plays on our fears, or rewrites history—subtly or overtly. WRITTEN AND DRAWN IN THE STYLE OF AN ILLUSTRATED BOOK OF BAD ARGUMENTS; SEE PG. 38 theexperimentpublishing.com | 4 Nineteen Reservoirs On their Creation and the Promise of Water for New York City LUCY SANTE PHOTOGRAPHS BY TIM DAVIS By the author of Low Life, the now- classic history of NYC’s outlaw underbelly, this is a meticulously researched, evocatively illustrated, profoundly meditative account of the city’s upstate reservoirs Without the upstate reservoir system that brings fresh water to New York City, the city would have faded into insignificance. But this engineering triumph had a cost: From 1907 to 1967, twenty-six upstate villages, farms, forests, and other natural areas were bought for a fraction of their value, demolished, then submerged to create the Catskills and Delaware watershed systems. Lucy Sante marshals the same gifts that made Low Life a now-classic NYC history: a meticulously detailed accounting of the reservoirs’ creation, a trove of rarely seen visual history, and a master of literary nonfiction’s sensibility for the essential paradox at the heart of this story—the triumph that NYC’s nineteen-reservoir system represents and the tragedies that resulted from its creation.

TECHNOLOGY & ENGINEERING | FORTHCOMING theexperimentpublishing.com | 5 Humble Free Yourself from the Traps of a Narcissistic World DARYL VAN TONGEREN, PhD A practical and philosophical deep dive into humility: how it can build confidence, foster honesty about our strengths and limitations, and help us achieve success Narcissism is on the rise: It manifests in our friends, partners, coworkers, politicians—and even, from time to time, in ourselves. But a powerful tool can help us defeat it: humility. Humble is the antidote that will help us look beyond our own desires. Psychologist Daryl Van Tongeren lays out a three-part path to achieving greater humility, which includes learning to accept feedback, letting go of defensive responses, and, ultimately, building stronger relationships. As Van Tongeren shows through his own experience, even the experts fall down sometimes—and anyone can rise to the challenge. Rooted in groundbreaking research, this book explores how cultivating humility, an often- undervalued character trait, is the key to a life of meaning and purpose.
