We take the weekend to highlight recent books coverage from The Times:

A tour of The Book Review:

The noted historian Robert A. Caro, known for his monumental biographies of Robert Moses and President Lyndon B. Johnson, has a new book out, “Working,” a collection of pieces about how he writes his prizewinning books. Caro also visited our podcast this week and talked about his writing process, his most uncomfortable interview (spoiler alert: It was with Lady Bird Johnson) and more.

“This volume is bleak,” the environmentalist Bill McKibben writes in his latest book, “Falter,” about climate change and other threats to civilization. “Still, there is one sense in which I am less grim than in my younger days. This book ends with the conviction that resistance to these dangers is at least possible.”

The soccer star Abby Wambach has a new book out, “Wolfpack,” and she answers our By the Book questions this week. Wambach started playing soccer after borrowing a how-to guide from the library. “I scored 27 goals in my first three games,” she says. “I guess I do owe it all to books.”

Reviews from the staff critics:

No time to read all 448 pages of the Mueller report? Our critic Dwight Garner wrote a book review of the document, saying that it “feels less like an ending than an uncertain beginning. It plants seeds into the ground.”
