Big Game
Mark Leibovich
The Poison Squad
Deborah Blum


From bestselling author of This Town comes an equally merciless probing of America’s biggest cultural force, pro football, at a moment of peak success and high anxiety. Mark Leibovich began a four-year odyssey that took him deeper inside the NFL than anyone has gone before.

The Poison Squad is the dramatic true story of how food was made safe in the United States and the heroes, led by the inimitable Dr. Harvey Washington Wiley, who fought for change.
