|  | Sea Change by Barrett Whitener, Peter Nichols
Peter Nichols restores a rundown wooden boat with his wife and sails across the Atlantic with her. Then, his marriage on the rocks, he sails home alone, which gives him plenty of time to think about what went wrong, to reminisce about the boat's restoration, and to experience a profound loneliness. He writes about all these things, and more, in this memoir of the experience. AUTHOR: Barrett Whitener, Peter Nichols

 | Stud by Kevin Conley
Part socioeconomic study, part historical excavation, this look at Kentucky horse breeding details the earliest accounts of horse trading, an oddball horse auction (in which a reserved group of Irish buyers is pitted against a consortium of sheikhs known as the Doobie Brothers), and the fate of the manure from prized horses (Campbell Soup fertilizes their mushroom crops with it).
