Philadelphia Inquirer Eagles beat reporter Zach Berman takes fans on a journey through the action-packed season -- from the preseason and midseason player pickups that shaped a championship team to the gut-wrenching injury of star quarterback Carson Wentz through to the bold play calling and nail-biting moments in Super Bowl LII, in which the Eagles bested the favored-to-win New England Patriots.

A book unique in its scope and insight thanks to Bermans on-the-ground reporting, Underdogs will detail the unlikely story that captured national attention; explain how the team resonated among a desperate fan base that waited 57 years for a championship; and even delve into the players social activism during a particularly political NFL season. With a foreword by beloved Philadelphia radio announcer Merrill Reese and an 8-page full-color photo insert, its the perfect keepsake item for anyone who bleeds green.

During his six years covering the Birds, Berman has developed relationships with some of the most notable characters that led the team to Super Bowl victory. In Underdogs, hell explain why Nick Foles contemplated retirement on his way to winning Super Bowl MVP. Hell detail Howie Rosemans journey to NFL executive of the year after being cast aside by former coach Chip Kelly. Hell show Malcolm Jenkins journey to team captain, how Chris Longs life changed in a Tanzania hotel bar, why Eagles kicker Jake Elliott didnt consider football until he was chosen at random at a high school pep rally, and where Carson Wentz ate dinner the night before he left for the NFL Draft. These more obscure stories offer incredible context and depth to an already fascinating story of success against the odds.

A New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestseller goes behind the scenes of the tech giant that inspired a cult-like following for its products.

If Apple is Silicon Valleys answer to Willy Wonkas Chocolate Factory, then author Adam Lashinsky provides readers with a golden ticket to step inside. In this primer on leadership and innovation, the author introduces readers to concepts like the "DRI" (Apples practice of assigning a Directly Responsible Individual to every task) and the Top one hundred (an annual ritual in which one hundred up-and-coming executives are tapped a la Skull & Bones for a secret retreat with company founder Steve Jobs).

Based on numerous interviews, Inside Apple offers exclusive information about how the company innovates, deals with its suppliers and handled the transition into the Post Jobs Era. Lashinsky, a former executive editor for Fortune, knows the subject cold: In a 2008 cover story for the magazine entitled "The Genius Behind Steve: Could Operations Whiz Tim Cook Run the Company Someday", he predicted that Tim Cook, then an unknown, would eventually succeed Steve Jobs as CEO.

While Inside Apple is ostensibly a deep dive into one, unique company (and its ecosystem of suppliers, investors, employees and competitors), the lessons about Jobs, leadership, product design and marketing are universal. They should appeal to anyone hoping to bring some of that Apple magic to their own company, career, or creative endeavor.
