CONFESSIONS OF A
RADICAL INDUSTRIALIST
How My Company and I Transformed Our Purpose,
Sparked Innovation, and Grew Profits—by Respecting
the Earth
RAY ANDERSON
Fourteen years ago, CEO Ray Anderson transformed his company
around one audacious, seemingly-impossible goal. Now, in the
most urgent and inspiring business book of our time, he challenges
all industry to share that goal: to take nothing from the earth
that can’t be replaced by the earth
In 1994, industrialist Ray Anderson had a revelation, one he calls “a spear to the chest.”
The founder and chairman of Interface, a major carpet manufacturer, Anderson had built
his company from scratch to a billion dollar business employing more than 5,000 people
worldwide. Making carpets was a wasteful, petroleum-based process: carpets were amalgams
of oil, glue, and other chemicals; intense heat was required to bond the materials, resulting in
smokestack emissions; excess dyes were flushed away by groundwater; and trimmings from
gigantic machines created hundreds of tons of waste to be dumped. Still, Interface was fully
compliant with United States environmental laws, and Anderson was proud of his company.
The “spear” to his chest was a book, which told the true story of an island, once lushlyverdant and populated by reindeer, now a barren waste of bones and rock. In this story, the
RAY ANDERSON was named one of Time magazine’s Heroes of the Environment in 2007, one of
MSN.com’s Top 15 Green Business Leaders, in 2007, and received the Purpose Prize from Civic
Ventures. He also was co-chair of the President’s Council on Sustainable Development, as well as
co-chair of the Presidential Climate Action Project. He and Interface have been featured in the documentary movies “The Corporation” and “The 11th Hour,” as well as in The New York Times, Fortune, Fast
Company, and many other publications.

hard-driving CEO saw our planet and his role in
plundering it, perhaps beyond recovery.
From that moment, Ray Anderson began to
lead Interface and its people “around the bend,”
on an inspiring journey toward complete sustainability—a transformation that has won awards
and international attention, as well as dramatically
grown its business. Since 1996, Interface has:
• Cut greenhouse gas emissions by 82%
• Cut fossil fuel consumption by 60%
• Cut waste carpet scrap by 66%
• Cut wastewater stream by 75%
• Invented and patented new machines,
materials, and manufacturing processes
• Increased sales by 66%, doubled earnings,
and raised profit margins
In this book, Ray Anderson shows how Interface
did it, step by step, with practical ideas and measurable hard numbers that every business can use.
As Anderson demonstrates, profit and sustainability are not mutually exclusive; businesses can
improve their bottom lines and do right by the
earth. Most important, only industry can lead us
away from the brink of destroying our environment—not government, not education, not individual practices, no matter how well-meaning. With
this remarkable book, he leads the way forward.
“If we had a lot more businessmen like
Ray Anderson, the planet would be neither
bankrupt or overheated. He is a hero, and
this book makes clear why!”
—BILL MCKIBBEN, AUTHOR OF D E E P E C O N O M Y
“We are in desperate need of hope in this
world, but if hope is to be credible and
trustworthy, it has to walk a straight line
to reality. No one does this better than
Ray Anderson.”

$14.95 • Paperback
As one of only eight senators to vote against bank deregulation,
Byron Dorgan warned America that a free-market system left
unchecked is like driving a car at ninety miles per hour without
brakes. With the recent financial collapse having proven him
right, Dorgan exposes this modern-day carnival of greed and
calls out the corporate executives who reap millions and even
billions as a “reward” for self-interest and mismanagement. More
poignantly, he argues that public officials we elect to represent
the best interests of the people have sold us out, as government
has become a partner to Big Oil, Big Media, and Big Pharma.
In his prairie-populist voice peppered with incisive wit, Dorgan
argues that we must rescue the economy from the influence of
financial conglomerates and power brokers, and hold our public
officials accountable for regulating the economy.
“His book is a trenchant and timely examination of
America’s so-called free trade policies and the exorbitant cost to our middle class and our nation.”

Self-help guru Julia Goodman’s beloved psychoanalyst moves
away at the very moment she needs him most. Both of her lifelines are leaving; her newly-married best friend (to Cleveland)

shrink, Julia copes the best way she knows how…with cupcakes.
But filling the void left by her friend, husband and doctor with
cupcakes is no small feat—and Julia quickly blimps out. A big
problem since she’s about to go on national TV to plug her hot
new book about…conquering sugar addiction. Julia needs some
serious help. Navigating her insurance network, she desperately
sees 8 shrinks in 8 days, speed dating for Dr. Replacement—or
any other new guru—to help shrink back her anxiety…and her
body, in time for her close up.

VANISHED
A Novel
JOSEPH FINDER
The New York Times bestselling ‘master of the modern thriller’*
returns with the first book in a new series featuring high powered
security investigator Nick Heller
Lauren Heller and her husband Roger, a brilliant executive at a major corporation, are attacked
in a Georgetown parking lot after an evening out. Knocked unconscious by the assailants,
Lauren lies in a coma in the hospital while her husband has vanished without a trace.
With nowhere else to turn, Lauren’s teenage son Gabe reaches out to his uncle, Nick Heller,
a high-powered investigator with a corporate intelligence firm in Washington, D.C. Having
returned to town on the next available flight, Nick finds Lauren conscious, the police skeptical
and his older brother Roger still missing.
Nick and Roger have been on the outs since the arrest, trial and conviction of their father,
the notorious “fugitive financier,” Victor Heller. Whereas Roger chose to follow in their father’s
footsteps and join the corporate world, Nick instead rebelled. He enlisted in the Special Forces
and later he served in a highly secretive intelligence unit in the Pentagon.
Now working for one of the most respected firms of corporate “fixers,” Nick’s looking into
his brother’s disappearance unexpectedly pits him against the interests of some extremely
influential forces in Washington, including his own boss. With few allies and many enemies,
Nick is forced to seek help where he can—including from his own despised father, still in prison
in upstate New York. Nick finds himself on a collision course with one of the most powerful
and secretive corporations in the world, whose minions will stop at nothing to protect the
secrets that Nick Heller is determined to uncover—secrets that reach into the highest levels of
the government . . .and may get Nick and everyone he’s trying to protect killed.

Born Queen of Scotland, married as a girl to the invalid young
King of France, Mary took the reins of the unruly kingdom of
Scotland as a young widow and fought to keep her throne. A
second marriage to her handsome but dissolute cousin Lord
Darnley ended in murder and scandal, while a third to the dashing Lord Bothwell, the love of her life, gave her joy but widened
the scandal and surrounded her with enduring ill repute.
Unable to rise above the violence and disorder that swirled
around her, Mary escaped to England—only to find herself a
prisoner of her ruthless, merciless cousin Queen Elizabeth.
Here, in her own riveting account, is the enchanting woman
whose name still evokes excitement and compassion—and whose
death under the headsman’s axe still draws forth our sorrow.
“Suspenseful and detailed, the novel captures a dramatic moment in history and will sear you with sorrow
for this doomed daughter of the last tsar.”

Campaign
A popular yet polarizing force long after leaving office, Bill
Clinton is still criticized by right-wingers as a president who
was weak in his foreign policy. Veteran reporter Richard Sale
takes us beneath partisan rhetoric and documents the learning
curve of our nation’s 42nd President, showing his evolution as
a strong leader on the world stage.
Using confidential sources in the administration itself, Sale
reports on Clinton’s covert ops in such arenas as the Balkans
and Middle East, revealing a leader who spearheaded the fight
against Slobodan Milosevic, bombed Saddam Hussein, targeted
Osama bin Laden, and prevented al-Qaeda from establishing a
stronghold in the incendiary Balkans region. Ultimately, and
revealingly, Clinton emerges at the end of his term in office as
a tough-as-nails commander in chief in the same vein as Ronald
Reagan. This “fly on the wall” look at a generation-defining leader
provides an invaluable window into the presidency of Bill Clinton
in the world arena.
RICHARD SALE is an award-winning journalist and Pulitzer Prize
finalist who has written for The Washington Post and San Francisco
Examiner. Most recently, he served as a special correspondent for UPI
for 5 years. He is the author of Traitors and The Blackstone Rangers.
He is currently Intelligence Correspondent for Middle East Times. He

THE ART OF
DISAPPEARING
A NOVEL
IVY POCHODA
A dynamic and fiercely beautiful debut,
the most magical and haunting love story
since the The Time Traveler’s Wife
When Mel Snow meets the magician Toby Warring in a lonely
Nevada saloon, she is instantly drawn to the brilliant performer
whose powers are not an illusion. After a whirlwind romance
and a Vegas wedding, Toby and Mel settle into a routine of vaudeville magic shows, which slowly attract attention for their unmistakable “realness.” As his renown grows, Mel starts to realize
that Toby’s powers are unstable and learns that he once made
his assistant disappear completely, and couldn’t bring her back.
Then the unthinkable happens: a trick goes terribly awry during
his Vegas debut. Toby is exiled from the stage and shunned.
Mel and Toby travel to Amsterdam, where a cabal of old-time
magicians, real magicians like Toby, try to rescue him from his
despair. But he’s haunted by the failed trick and obsessed with
testing the limits of his power. Mel insists that she doesn’t
need magic to love him, but she’s left wondering how to determine whether the love she believes in is real or an illusion?

STEP OUT ON NOTHING
How Family and Faith Helped Me Conquer
Life’s Challenges
BYRON PITTS
An inspiring memoir from someone who battled illiteracy and a
stutter to become an Emmy award-winning broadcast journalist
Throughout Byron’s tough childhood—his father left when he was twelve and his mom had to
work two jobs to make ends meet—Byron suffered from a debilitating stutter and was functionally illiterate. For a black kid from a tough inner city neighborhood, it was a recipe for failure.
In Step Out on Nothing, we read how Byron turned struggle into strength through his faith
and overcame both conditions to achieve enormous success in life. Along the way, a few key
people ‘stepped out on nothing’ to make a difference for him, from his mother who worked
tirelessly to raise her kids right—while delivering ample amounts of tough love, to his college
roommate who helped Byron practice his vocabulary. He even gives credit to those who didn’t
believe in him, like the college professor who labeled him a failure. Byron persevered by following his steadfast passion for journalism and after 15 years in local television, he landed a
job as a national correspondent for CBS News in 1998. Not bad for a kid who couldn’t read.
From his challenged youth in Baltimore to his award-winning work covering 9/11 and Iraq,

“In five, four, three, two.....”
This wasn’t the first time a floor director had
ever counted me down, but it was the first time
I ever held back tears. It was August 25, 2006,
my first on-camera studio open for the CBS
News broadcast 60 Minutes. Minutes earlier
I’d been in makeup with famed artist Riccie
Johnson. She’d done up the likes of Mike
Wallace, Harry Reasoner, Morley Safer, Dan
Rather, Ed Bradley, Lesley Stahl, Steve Kroft
and every other big name correspondent who
ever worked for 60 Minutes. And the Beatles.
And now she was putting on my powder....
Executive Producer Jeff Fager poked his head
in the dressing room, “Good luck Brotha! You’ve
come a long way to get here. You’ve earned it.”
I think Jeff was talking about my ten years of
covering hurricanes, tornadoes politics, war
in Afghanistan and Iraq, the September 11th
disaster and every sort of story for CBS News
over those years.
If he only knew. My mind flashed backed to
elementary school when a therapist informed
my mother, “I’m sorry Mrs. Pitts your son is
functionally illiterate. He cannot read.”

Looking some of the world’s most deadly animals directly in
the eye, Kevin Richardson has made a place for himself in the
often dangerous animal kingdom. He’s broken every taboo working with lions, hyenas and other predators. Flouting common
misconceptions that breaking an animal’s spirit is the best way
to subdue them, he uses love, understanding and trust to develop
deep personal bonds with them. His unique method of learning
their individual personalities, what makes each one angry, happy,
or irritated—like a mother to a child—has caused them to accept
him like one of their own. Richardson rests with adult male lions,
cuddles newborn hyenas, and swims with lionesses. This powerful connection has dispelled myths and shows these animals as
complex creatures capable of human-like bonds. In this remarkable book, Richardson, with novelist Tony Park, delves into the
minds of the big cats to show how he became a part of the pride.
“Animal behaviorist Kevin Richardson has such an intimate bond with big cats that he can spend the night
curled up with them without the slightest fear of
attack… So instinctively in tune is he with these beasts,
whose teeth are sharp enough to bite through thick
steel, that mother hyenas even allow him to hold their
newborn cubs without pouncing to the rescue.”

FEMINISTA
A NOVEL
ERICA KENNEDY
Funny, fresh commercial women’s fiction
starring a completely new-style heroine
storming the highest precincts of fashionable New York City, by the New York
Times bestselling author of Bling
Sydney Zamora is fiercely independent, aggressively opinionated,
and utterly self-made. She’s reshaped her body (into the perfect
sample-sale outfitted size 6, thank you very much), organized
a life for herself as a celebrity journalist at hot magazine Cachet,
and strides through the canyons of New York City like she owns
them. There’s just one problem: Sydney is so strong that she
plays keep-away with men. But now that she’s hitting her midthirties, she wants one. Badly. For her birthday, Sydney’s sister
ambushes her with the services of Mitzi Berman, $40,000 a shot
Manhattan matchmaker extraordinaire. Mitzi also has her eyes
on Max Cooper, the scion of Harvey’s department store, the
chicest place to shop in America. And nothing could make either
Sydney or Max Cooper run faster than Mitzi, with her rules and
her Brooklyn accent—that is, if they didn’t concede her a point
or two.
Peopled with vivid, hilarious characters, Feminista is fast-moving
fiction whose themes of independence, image and the complicated relationship between the sexes in the working world
recall the best of Rona Jaffe.

PAST IMPERFECT
A Novel
JULIAN FELLOWES
“The Noel Coward of our day,”* New York Times bestselling
author Julian Fellowes brings us a dazzling novel of high society
and low behavior during a debutante season in the 1960s—and its
surprising aftermath
“Damian Baxter was a friend of mine at Cambridge. We met around the time when I was doing
the Season at the end of the Sixties. I introduced him to some of the girls. They took him up, and we
ran about together in London for a while….”
Nearly forty years later, the narrator hates Damian Baxter and would gladly forget their
disastrous last encounter. But if it is pleasant to hear from an old friend, it is more interesting
to hear from an old enemy, and so he accepts an invitation from the rich and dying Damian,
who begs him to track down the past girlfriend whose anonymous letter claimed he had
fathered a child during that ruinous debutante season.
The search takes the narrator back to the extraordinary world of swinging London, where
aristocratic parents schemed to find suitable matches for their daughters while someone was
putting hash in the brownies at a ball at Madame Tussaud’s. It was a time when everything
seemed to be changing—and it was, but not always quite as expected.
JULIAN FELLOWES is the winner of the 2001 Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay for Gosford
Park. He also wrote the screenplays for Vanity Fair and The Young Victoria. His first novel, Snobs, was a
New York Times, LA Times, and BookSense bestseller; his other works include The Curious Adventure of the
Abandoned Toys and the book for the Disney stage musical of Mary Poppins. He lives in London and
Dorset, England.

An inspiring true story of how a small group
of unsung heroes changed history by helping
transport East African men and women,
including a future U.S. President’s father
and a Nobel Prize-Winner, to colleges,
universities and high schools in North
America during the 1960s
This is the long-hidden saga of how a handful of Americans and
Kenyans fought the British colonial government, the U.S. State
Department, and segregation to “airlift” to U.S. universities,
between 1959 and 1963, nearly 800 young East African men
and women who would go on to change the world. The students
included Barack Obama Sr., future father of a U.S. president,
Wangari Maathai, future Nobel Peace Prize laureate, as well as
the nation-builders of post-colonial East Africa—cabinet ministers,
ambassadors, university chancellors, clinic and school founders.
The airlift was conceived by the unusual partnership of the
charismatic, later-assassinated Kenyan Tom Mboya and William
X. Scheinman, a young American entrepreneur, with supporting
roles played by Jackie Robinson, Harry Belafonte, Sidney Poitier,
and Martin Luther King, Jr. The airlift even had an impact on
the 1960 presidential race, as Vice-President Richard Nixon tried
to muscle the State Department into funding the project to
prevent Senator Jack Kennedy from using his family foundation
to do so and reaping the political benefit.
The book is based on the files of the airlift’s sponsor, the
African American Students Foundation, that have been untouched
for almost fifty years.
TOM SHACHTMAN has written or co-authored thirty books as well
as major television documentaries.

RESURRECTION
The Miracle Season That Saved Notre Dame
JIM DENT
The New York Times bestselling author of The Junction Boys
chronicles one of the greatest comeback seasons in the history of
college football—the first season in Notre Dame’s inspirational
“Era of Ara”
Back in the early 1960’s Notre Dame’s football program was in shambles—much as it is today.
For five straight years, from 1958 through 1963, Notre Dame could not produce one winning
season. Plagued by a series of bad coaching choices and inept management, no one could be
sure if the Fighting Irish would ever return to glory. When “Touchdown Jesus” was erected in
1964, it presided over a team so hopeless that the entire football program was on the brink of
collapse.
Little did anyone know, help was on its way in the form of Ara Parseghian, an unexpected
choice for head coach—the first one outside of the Notre Dame “family”—who had only set
foot on Notre Dame soil when his football teams played (and won) there. It was now his
responsibility to rebuild a once proud program, and teach the team how to win again.
They were a bunch of unlikelies and oddballs, but Parseghian transformed them into a
team—a senior quarterback who would win the Heisman Trophy two weeks before he picked
up his first letter jacket; a walk-on who would become an All-American; an exceptionally rare
black player, who would rise to All-American, All-Pro, Hall of Famer, and to the Minnesota
Supreme Court.
JIM DENT, a long-time award-winning journalist in Dallas and Fort Worth, has written four books,
including The Junction Boys, the New York Times bestseller that remains a fan favorite years after its
publication.

With passion, humor and incredible insight,
Dent tracks the history and explains the demise
of Notre Dame football, vividly recreating one
of the biggest comebacks in the history of

Dame came within ninety-seven seconds of
going from worst to first, and in the process
restored the spirit and pride of Notre Dame—

From Accomplice to Evil:
“The world is simmering in the familiar rhetoric and actions of
movements and regimes—from Hezbollah and al Qaeda to the
Iranian Khomeinists and the Saudi Wahhabis—who swear to
destroy us and others like us, and we are repeating the errors of the
recent past. Like their 20th-century predecessors, they openly
proclaim their intentions, and carry them out whenever and
wherever they can. Like our 20th-century predecessors, we rarely
take them seriously or act accordingly.”
Acknowledging the existence and actions of evil enemies means
accepting that we are at war, and then designing and conducting a strategy to win. Accomplice to Evil takes a comprehensive
look at the errors we have made in the past when dealing with
a mounting enemy force, why we’ve refused to acknowledge
the implications of a rising evil, and how we can defeat the
forces that threaten us today.

When Mark is about to return stateside, he decides to adopt

CITY OF GOLD
DUBAI AND THE DREAM OF CAPITALISM
JIM KRANE
A fascinating history of Dubai, the dusty
Middle Eastern village transformed by
cutting-edge capitalism into a City of
the Future
Dubai is everything the Arab world isn’t—a freewheeling capitalist oasis in the desert—and in this new book, Jim Krane brings
us a boots-on-the ground look at this fascinating city, straight
from the heart of Dubai itself.
Dubai, just a dusty village in the 1960s, has been
transformed into the quintessential metropolis of the future
through the vision of clever sheiks, British entrepreneurs,
American capitalists who longed for a free market Mecca, and a
river of investor money that poured in from around the globe.
What these people created is a tolerant and cosmopolitan city
with luxurious resorts, architectural landmarks, and outposts of
America’s most prestigious companies and universities. It’s at
once a magnet for the Middle East’s intelligentsia as well as
one of the most eco-unfriendly places on the planet.
In City of Gold, Jim Krane charts the history of Dubai from
its earliest days, considers the influence of the Maktoum
family which has ruled since the early nineteenth century, and
looks at the effect of the global economic downturn on a place
that many tout as a blueprint for a more stable Middle East.

A ground-breaking new biography about the
most powerful man in King Henry VIII’s court
marketing
history book clubs
and websites
The son of a brewer, Thomas Cromwell rose from obscurity to
become the confidant of the King and one of the most influential
men in British history. Cromwell drafted the law that allowed
Henry VIII to divorce his first wife and marry Anne Boleyn, setting into motion the brutal Protestant Reformation.
Over the course of his career, Cromwell amassed a fortune
through bribery and theft, and created many enemies along the
way. His fall was spectacular—beheaded outside the Tower of
London, his boiled head was placed on a spike above the London
Bridge.
Rich in incident and colorful detail, this is narrative history
at its finest.
International Praise for Thomas Cromwell:
“Gripping...Hutchinson tells his story with infectious
relish and vividly evokes the politics and personalities
of this extraordinary decade.”
— L I T E R A RY R E V I E W
“Hutchinson tells the horrible story admirably and
compellingly.”
— T H E G U A R D I A N (UK)
“Vigorous, pacey and focused...an effective portrait.”

SOCIAL LIVES
A NOVEL
WENDY WALKER
The dark underside of a picture-perfect
Connecticut suburb is exposed in this
modern day Revolutionary Road
Step into Winchester, home to some of the wealthiest people
in the world, where the mansions are tastefully designed, the
lawns are expertly manicured, and the streets are as hushed as
the complexities in the residents’ lives. While Winchester’s
husbands battle each other in the financial world of nearby
Manhattan, their wives manage their estates and raise the next
elite generation. Some women are envied, some respected, and
others simply tolerated. But regardless of where they stand,
each woman is defined by the world she inhabits and would
appear to do anything to keep it.
For Roslyn Barlow, the most socially admired woman in
Winchester, “keeping it” means silencing the scandalous gossip
threatening her daughter’s reputation. For Caitlin Barlow, it
means navigating life as a teenager in a culture of wealth and
sexual promiscuity. For Sarah Livingston, it means quelling the
terror she feels at having another child that will bind her more
closely to a world she’s grown to resent. And for Jacqueline
Halstead, who’s just discovered her husband is under investigation for embezzlement, keeping the life he’s put at risk means
doing the unthinkable—and her actions could shake Winchester
to its core.

THE TEST OF OUR TIMES
Inside the Creation of Homeland Security
TOM RIDGE WITH LARY BLOOM
Our nation’s first Secretary of Homeland Security delivers a candid
and compelling look at the challenges he and America faced in the
aftermath of 9/11
When our nation called, Tom Ridge answered. Appointed by the President to head up domestic
security, Ridge established the Department of Homeland Security. In this probing and
surefooted memoir, Ridge takes us through the challenges he and his new department faced,
including Anthrax scares and reports (both real and false alarms) of new Al-Qaeda operations
sprouting up in the United States.
A “law and order” Republican who was on the shortlist to be John McCain’s running mate
in 2008, Ridge is not afraid to take his own Party to task. He writes with refreshing candor on
both the successes and missteps of the DHS and the challenges faced in his new post—often
from within the administration itself. Some of the controversial points he reveals are how:
• The Bush administration pressured him to connect homeland security to the
international “war on terror” (read: Iraq)
• The White House attempted to manipulate the national security alert for political gains
• Ridge pushed for a plan—defeated because of “turf wars” in the administration—to
integrate DHS and FEMA disaster management in New Orleans and other areas before
Hurricane Katrina
Finally, Ridge offers a prescriptive look to the future, advocating ways that America may
reaffirm its safety, but not at the cost of personal liberty.
The HON.TOM RIDGE became the first secretary of Homeland Security in 2001. The former congressman and governor of Pennsylvania is the president and CEO of Ridge Global, which consults on security,
diplomacy, international relations, economic development, and other key issues. Ridge is based on
Washington, D.C. LARY BLOOM co-wrote Letters From Nuremberg with Senator Christopher J. Dodd.
He is a columnist for The New York Times and Connecticut magazine.

Television captures every word and every
expression. I was reasonable to think that our
enemies would look for any sign of weakness in
the person who in a few days would be responsible for protecting America against them. At
that moment, I experienced a royal flush of
emotion—after all, I was leaving the state I
loved, a loyal staff, many friendships developed
over a lifetime, the frustration of work unfinished, to head into the unknown and the
undoable. In normal times, I might have shed a
tear at such thoughts. But I was determined not
to do so as I said my farewell. If I needed any
reminding, I glanced down at the note I had
written for counsel.
“The bastards are watching.”
We can never guarantee we will be free from
another attack. We must also understand that
every day thousands and thousands of our fellow citizens work here and abroad to take us to
a new level of readiness and security. For in the
end, Americans do not live in fear. We live in
freedom. And we will let no one take that freedom away.
—Tom Ridge, from THE TEST OF
OUR TIMES
“Congressional leaders and pundits are
stuffing [Tom Ridge] into the Beltway
meat grinder: Either he’ll fail because he
has no money and authority to pummel
bureaucracies into line, or he’ll fail because
some disaster will occur, or he’ll fail for
giving out too much information, or not
enough information or conflicting information. Or he’ll fail because he can’t possibly succeed. He has the scariest and most
difficult Washington job you could possibly imagine.” — T H E WA S H I N G TO N P O S T , NOV. 12, 2001

ASK THE ANIMALS
A VET’S EYE VIEW OF PETS AND
THE P EOPLE T HEY L OVE

Reminiscent of James Herriot’s wonderful

sad, and touching stories about a medical
practice where the patients cannot speak,

• Online Promotion: Outreach

• Outreach to Veterinarian

Coston’s first book is a warm, funny and amazingly fulfilling
celebration of the wonderful world of animals as seen through
the eyes of a small town veterinarian.
The patients are an eclectic and surprising cast of characters
who display incredible bravery and nobility at times, and unbelievable goofiness at others. There’s the dog that resurrected
itself from death. There’s Daphne, the transvestite cat who
taught Bruce to be a cat person. And the owners are no less
engaging, ranging from the angelic to the squeamish, teaching
Bruce what it really means to be an animal doctor.
Readers will gain insight into the pathos and passion, the
mundane and incredible, the thigh-slapping humor and the
crushing sadness of a vet’s life as he seeks to mend and restore
people’s treasured companions. Written with great warmth,
this book imparts a deeper understanding of the pets that daily
enrich our lives.
“Bruce has written a warm, witty, and compelling
book. Each story is different, and yet the underlying
theme is that of a missionary, not just a doctor.”

ALWAYS COMPETE
AN INSIDE LOOK AT PETE CARROLL AND
THE USC F OOTBALL J UGGERNAUT
STEVE BISHEFF
Inside the locker room and behind the
scenes with Coach Pete Carroll and the
USC football program—the undisputed
main attraction in college football today
Just when USC football was in the midst of a horrific slump,
when skeptics began to say the scholarship limits had conspired to make it impossible to recapture its old glory, Coach
Pete Carroll arrived to transform and invigorate the program
with his own bristling energy and style. He quickly re-established
the Trojans not only as the dominant college football team in
the Pac-10, but as the pre-eminent program in the country, and
the most entertaining team in the sport.
In the past seven years, Carroll has captured two National
Championships, made an NCAA-record seven BCS bowl appearances, and produced three Heisman Trophy winners and more
than 30 NFL draft picks, including seven first-rounders.
For the first time ever, author Steve Bisheff has been given
exclusive access to coaches and players, their meetings, practices
and locker room and one-on-one interviews with Coach Carroll
himself. Always Compete is both a revealing look at the tactics
and personality of one of college football’s best coaches and a
thrilling chronicle of the 2008 Trojan’s quest for another championship, culminating in their victory over Penn State in the
Rose Bowl.
STEVE BISHEFF has covered USC football longer and more extensively than any other journalist in Southern California. He is a USC
graduate, an award-winning journalist and the co-author of four books
including Fight On! The Colorful History of USC Football. He lives in
Irvine, California.

DAUGHTERS OF
THE STONE
A NOVEL
DAHLMA LLANOS-FIGUEROA
A lyrical, powerful debut novel about a
family of Afro-Puerto Rican women,
spanning five generations, detailing their
physical and spiritual journey from the
Old World to the New
It’s the mid-1800’s in colonial Puerto Rico. Fela is brought from
Africa to work as a seamstress at a sugar plantation. Her former
mistress had her tongue cut out, so she cannot speak. But she
is very skilled with a needle and thread, a talent her new mistress
will happily exploit. Fela carries a special stone with her; before
she and her husband were separated, they performed a tribal
ceremony which poured the essence of their unborn child into
the stone. She is biding her time, waiting for the chance to finish
what she started. So when the plantation owner approaches her,
Fela allows him to act out his desires. She becomes pregnant
and gives birth to Mati, who will become a powerful curandera.
Such is the beginning of this matriarchy. The stone becomes
meaningful to each of the women, pulling them through times
of crisis. Finally, Carisa, born and raised in New York City, becomes
the one to write down the stories of her family, many of them
forgotten or shifted aside, and repair the hurts of the past.

FAR FLUNG AND

THE FOOD WRITING OF R.W. APPLE, JR.

Celebrated journalist R. W. (“Johnny”) Apple was a veteran
political reporter, a New York Times bureau chief and an incisive
and prolific writer. But the role he was most passionate about
was food anthropologist. Known both for his restless wideopen mind and an appetite to match, Apple was also a culinary
scholar: witty, wide-ranging and intensely knowledgeable
about his subjects. Far Flung and Well Fed is the best of
legendary Times reporter Apple’s food writing from America,
England, Europe, Asia and Australia. Each of the more than fifty
essays recount extraordinary meals and little-known facts, of
some of the world’s most excellent foods —from the origin of
an ingredient in a dish, to its history, to the vivid
personalities—including Apple’s wife, Betsey—who cook, serve
and eat those dishes.
Far Flung and Well Fed is a classic collection of food writing—
lively, warm and rich with a sense of place and taste—and
deserves to join the works of A.J. Liebling, Elizabeth David,
M.F.K. Fisher and Calvin Trillin on the bookshelf.
“With R. W. Apple, Jr., triumph [was] a given. He approache(d) food writing the same way he approached
equally adventurous political reporting or war reporting or parachuting in.”

GORGEOUS EAST
A NOVEL
ROBERT GIRARDI
Forget that she was beautiful and half his
age, Phillipe could not let this girl drown
herself, he was—after all—a Legionnaire
A sweeping tale of love and redemption, honor and war, Robert
Girardi’s Gorgeous East follows three French Foreign legionnaires of very different backgrounds from the cliffs of Mont
Saint-Michel to Istanbul’s ancient alleyways, from raucous
Parisian bars to the desolate Sahara. Gorgeous East takes us on
an epic and unforgettable adventure with the wonderful John
Smith, a lost Brooklynite they call the Handsome American
Cowboy; Colonel de Noyer, the elder statesman slowly going
mad; and Captain Pinard, whose past is so hideous he can’t
find love outside the Legion’s walls. When a mission in the
Sahara goes horribly wrong, one legionnaire must wage battle
against a rogue terrorist group and rescue his brothers-in-arms.
In this tremendous return to form, Girardi showcases his sheer
love of language and luminous sense of place to deliver a
masterful novel of the hearts and minds of soldiers of fortune.
“The only thing that could console me for having finished Stendhal’s The Charterhouse of Parma was the
discovery that Robert Girardi had written a new book
for me to turn to. Gorgeous East is an absolutely delicious novel...”

Many ordinary people experience Christmas miracles—those
special moments during the season of giving and receiving when
Christmas becomes more than just a holiday. Cecil Murphey
and Marley Gibson share the stories of those who have recognized the special moments that transcend daily experience and
transform their lives. In these stories, people overcome desperate
situations through a miraculous twist of fate—all during the
most wonderful time of the year. A young boy sits down to
read a Christmas book and discovers that his learning disability
has vanished. A woman stranded in a blizzard is rescued by a
mysterious stranger who she suspects is an angel. And a woman
living far from home gets an answer to her prayer in the form
of an unexpected gift.
In these challenging times, we all long for comfort and inspiration; and Murphey and Gibson deliver both in this charming
holiday read. Christmas Miracles also offers a foreword by Don
Piper, author of the blockbuster bestseller 90 Minutes in Heaven,
about real-life miracles and the moments of grace that touch
our lives.
CECIL MURPHEY is the co-author of the New York Times bestseller
90 Minutes in Heaven. He has published 108 books and lectures
widely. MARLEY GIBSON has written several young adult novels.

JOHN DIES AT
THE END
A NOVEL
DAVID WONG
Think Ghostbusters, think Shaun of the
Dead...The cult online serial, rewritten,
re-cut and reconceived by the author with
additional material for an even bigger epic
of slackers vs. the occult
It’s a drug that promises an out-of-body experience with each
hit. On the street they call it Soy Sauce, and users drift across
time and dimensions. But some who come back are no longer
human. Suddenly, a silent otherworldly invasion is underway,
and mankind needs a hero. What it gets instead is John and David,
a pair of college dropouts who can barely hold down jobs. Can
these two stop the oncoming horror in time to save humanity?
No. No, they can’t.
John Dies at the End has been described as a “Horrortacular”,
an epic of “spectacular” horror that combines the laugh out
loud humor of the best R-rated comedy, with the darkest terror
of H.P. Lovecraft. Hilarious, terrifying, engaging and wrenching,
John Dies at the End takes us for a wild ride with two slackers
from the Midwest who really have better things to do with
their time than prevent the apocalypse.
“That rarest of things—a genuinely scary story.”
—DAVID WELLINGTON, AUTHOR OF
M O N S T E R I S L A N D, VA M P I R E Z E RO
“Wong is like a mash-up of Douglass Adams and Stephen
King...‘page-turner’ is an understatement.”

BLOOD GAME
An Eve Duncan Forensics Thriller
IRIS JOHANSEN
First comes darkness, then comes fear
Eve Duncan is back! Blockbuster New York Times bestselling
author Iris Johansen’s latest thriller brings Eve closer to discovering
her daughter’s killer…and into a web of danger from which she
may not be able to escape…
Eve Duncan returns in a thriller that pits her against the most evil mind she has ever
encountered: a ruthless killer who taunts her with his every move…and who has a special
affinity for blood. When a Georgia senator’s daughter is found murdered, and her body drained
of blood, Eve Duncan is drawn into the web of Kevin Jelak—a serial murderer who is on Eve’s
short list of killers who might know something about her missing daughter Bonnie. When a
goblet of blood is found in Eve’s refrigerator, she knows the taunting is over…and the games
have begun. As Eve and Jelak engage in a dance of death, Eve must call upon those she loves
and trusts the most…even if it means bringing them into the game as well.
Praise for Iris Johansen:

From the authors of the Award-winning
Packaging Girlhood, an eye-opening look
at the narrow version of boyhood that
media and marketers sell to our sons—and
what parents can do about it
Player. Jock. Slacker. Competitor. Superhero. Goofball. Boys are
besieged by images in the media that encourage slacking over
studying; competition over teamwork; power over empowerment; and being cool over being yourself. From cartoons to
videogames, boys are bombarded with stereotypes about what
it means to be a boy, including messages about violence, risktaking, and perfecting an image of just not caring.
Straight from the mouths of over 600 boys surveyed from
across the U.S., the authors offer parents a long, hard look at
what boys are watching, reading, hearing, and doing. They give
parents advice on how to talk with their sons about these
troubling images and provide them with tools to help their sons
resist these messages and be their unique selves.
“...incredibly readable and rises above others in the
genre by giving parents concrete tools to help battle
stereotypes.”

THE KING OF OIL
THE SECRET LIVES OF MARC RICH
DANIEL AMMANN
Notorious oil trader Marc Rich speaks,
for the first time, about his astonishing
secret life
Billionaire oil trader Marc Rich for the first time talks at length
about his private life (including his expensive divorce from wife
Denise); his invention of the spot oil market which made his
fortune and changed the world economy; his lucrative and unpublicized dealings with Ayatollah Khomeini’s Iran, Fidel Castro’s
Cuba, war-ravaged Angola, and apartheid South Africa; his
quiet cooperation with the Israeli and U.S. governments (even
after he was indicted for tax fraud by Rudy Giuliani) and nearcomical attempts by U.S. officials to kidnap him illegally.
This sure-to-break-international-news book, based on more
than 30 hours of interviews, is the first no-holds-barred biography
of Rich, who was famously pardoned by Bill Clinton, and resurfaced in the news during the confirmation hearings of Attorney
General Eric Holder. It sheds stunning new light on one of the
most controversial international businessmen of all time, charting Rich’s rise from the Holocaust, which he fled as a young
boy, to become the wealthiest and most powerful oil and commodities trader of the century. From his earliest trading days to
the present, Marc Rich’s story is astonishing and compelling.

THE CHRISTMAS SECRET
A Novel
DONNA VANLIERE
From the multi-million-copy selling author of the Christmas Hope
series, comes a new novel that explores the true meaning of love,
family, hope, and sacrifice at Christmas
When a struggling young single mother saves the life of an elderly woman, she sets into
motion a series of events that will test her strength, loyalty, and determination, all the while
setting her on the path to finding true love. Christine Eisley is the mother of seven-year-old
Zach and five-year-old Haley. Her ex-husband provides little, if any, child support and makes
life difficult for Christine by using the children as pawns. She works long hours as a waitress
to make ends meet, but her job is in jeopardy because she’s often late to work due to the
unreliable teenaged sitters she’s forced to use. When Christine saves the life of a woman who
works in Wilson’s department store, the owner of Wilson’s wants to find her, to thank her,
but Christine has disappeared, losing another job once again. He sets his grandson, Jason, to
the task of finding the mysterious “Christy.” Jason, an accountant by trade who has lost his
job to downsizing, thinks he is “above” working at Wilson’s. Soon, he discovers that this new
task gives him more than he bargains for. The Christmas Secret is a novel for anyone who wants
to see how love is a gift that keeps giving back; that hope is a treasure that never runs dry, and
that faith is a miracle that is reborn with each new day.
DONNA VANLIERE is the New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of Finding Grace, The
Christmas Hope series and Angels of Morgan Hill. She lives in Franklin, Tennessee with her husband
and three children.

TEARS OF
MERMAIDS
THE SECRET STORY OF PEARLS
STEPHEN G. BLOOM
The fascinating cultural history of one of
the world’s most adored gemstones—the
pearl—and its ineffable beauty
marketing
Pearl and Gem Websites
For Tears of Mermaids, Stephen G. Bloom traveled 30,000 miles
to trace a single pearl—from the moment a diver off the coast
of Australia scoops from the ocean floor an oyster containing a
single luminescent pearl to the instant a woman on the other
side of the world fastens the clasp of a strand containing the
same orb. Bloom chronicles the never-before-told saga of the
global pearl trade by gaining access to clandestine outposts in
Japan, China, the Philippines, French Polynesia and Australia.
Bloom infiltrates high-tech pearl farms and processing facilities
guarded by gun-toting sentries, and insinuates himself into the
lives of powerful international pearl lords. Bloom farms for pearls
in rural China, goes behind scenes at million-dollar auctions in
Hong Kong, trails pearl brokers and Internet entrepreneurs in
Asia, hires himself out as a deckhand on an Australian pearling
vessel, and goes backstage at Christie’s for a fast and furious
auction of the most expensive pearl ever sold. Teeming with
rogue humor and uncanny intelligence, Tears of Mermaids weaves
a nonstop detective story of the world’s most enduring gem.
STEPHEN G. BLOOM, a professor of journalism at the University
of Iowa, is author of Postville: A Clash of Cultures in Heartland America,
and co-author (with Peter Feldstein) of The Oxford Project. He lives in
Iowa City, Iowa.

THE MIDNIGHT
GUARDIAN
A MILLENNIAL NOVEL
SARAH JANE STRATFORD
Anne Rice fans will devour this tale of a
team of ancient and beautiful vampires
known as millennials attempting to
infiltrate and destroy the Nazi Party on
the eve of World War II
Although it is not the vampire way to interfere with human
politics, they remember the destruction of the first World War.
Their food supply was badly depleted, leading to a vampire famine,
and a devastating vampire war. When London’s vampire tribunal
senses that Hitler is paving the way for another human war,
they are determined to break the spine of the Nazis before much
more damage is done. But as they delve deep into Hitler’s war
machine, they discover that the Nazis are more monstrous than
they ever imagined, and that they are more encumbered by their
inhumanity than they ever thought.
A vampire saga in the tradition of The Vampire Chronicles,
the debut title in this exciting new series follows the beautiful
and cunning Brigit’s attempt to escape from the continent and
return to her long-time lover Eamon in London, while shepherding
out dangerous cargo that is the only hope of salvaging their
mission. As Brigit, a millennial vampire, over a thousand-yearsold and possessed of special powers earned by age, hurls toward
her destiny on a Reich train, she is tailed by vampire hunters
and Nazi officers out to destroy her. Her soul’s eternal love
waits for her across the channel, and she’ll need his strength
and the strains of humanity yet alive inside her if she’s ever to
find her way back home.
SARAH JANE STRATFORD holds a Master’s in medieval history
from the University of York in England. In addition to writing, she
works as a freelance copyeditor and proofreader. Originally from Los
Angeles, California she currently lives in New York City. This is her
first novel.

purpose. Everything you do is being watched and imitated
• Hold the Line on Tantrums: Watch out for signs of your
staff looking overworked or bored, and if someone does
let loose, take them aside and address the situation
• Read and Tell Lots of Stories: Tell stories about events in
the past that embody the values you would like every

MY LIFE OUTSIDE THE RING
HULK HOGAN
WITH MARK DAGOSTINO
The man behind Hulkamania will reveal for the first time the private person behind the very public persona, opening up about his
childhood, his thirty-year wrestling career, and more recently,
his personal heartbreak
Hulk Hogan, born Terry Bollea, burst onto the professional wrestling scene in the late seventies
and went on to become a world wrestling champion many times over. From humble beginnings, this giant of a man escaped a pre-ordained life of dock and construction work in Port
Tampa, Florida, to become one of the most recognizable celebrities on the planet. He did it
through sheer will, grit, determination, and a drive to always go over the top and do more than
what others thought possible. From the outside, his story was one of a charmed life—he was
at the top of his career, had a wonderful and loving family, and a lifelong fan base who
worshipped him. Of course he had his up and downs—including hints of steroid abuse and his
falling out with WWE and Vince McMahon—but it’s been the last two years that have tested
Hogan more than any other in his lifetime.
In 2007, while riding the massive success of his VH1 reality show, Hogan Knows Best, his
son Nick was involved in a tragic car accident that left his best friend in critical condition.
Then Linda, his wife, left him after 23 years of marriage, his beloved daughter Brooke blamed
HULK HOGAN is one of the most sought-after, instantly recognizable celebrities in the world. He is
a twelve-time professional world wrestling champion—six titles with WWE and six with WCW—and the
winner of the Royal Rumble in 1990 and 1991. He has appeared in several movies, including Rocky III,
was the co-host for NBC’s American Gladiators, and is the executive producer, judge, and host of Hulk
Hogan’s Championship Wrestling on CMT. Hogan is a frequent guest on every major talk show, such as
Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Larry King Live, Late Night with Conan O’Brien, Live with Regis & Kelly, The Today
Show, The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, and The View.

him for the breakup and his son went to jail. The
tabloid media had a field day. When unflattering jailhouse conversations between him and his
son were released to the press the tabloids were
in a frenzy. The sudden turmoil and tragedy surrounding Hogan took its toll. He fell into a deep
depression, seeing no way out, until one fateful
phone call.
In My Life Outside the Ring, Hogan will unabashedly recount these events, revealing how his
newfound clarity steadied him during the most
difficult match of his life—and how he emerged
from the battle feeling stronger than ever before.
I was right there grasping the side of the car
with my hands when I finally saw Nick—my only
son—folded up like an accordion with his head
down by the gas pedal. “Nick!” I yelled. I could
see he was alive. He turned his head and he
stuck his hand out and raised his thumb. He
could hear me. He gave me a thumbs-up. For a
second I was relieved. Then the chaos set in.
The noise of engines and sirens. A saw. Paramedics pulling John from the passenger seat. So
much blood. I can’t even describe to you how
panicked I was. The police and firefighters surrounding us seemed panicked, too. The firefighters started cutting the side of the car open
to try to get Nick out, and I’m still standing
right there when I hear my boy screaming, “No,
no, no, stop! Stop! You’re gonna cut my legs off.
Dad! Just unbuckle the seatbelt. I can get out!”
So I reach in and I push the button on his seat
belt, and Nick just crawls right out.
His wrist was broken. His ribs were cracked.
None of that mattered. He was gonna be okay.
But not John. John wasn’t moving.

A GOD WHO HATES
“THAT MUSLIM WOMAN ON AL JAZEERA”
SPEAKS OUT
WAFA SULTAN
One of Time Magazine’s Most Influential
People in the World speaks out on the
horrors of radical Islam
From the front page of The New York Times to YouTube, Dr.
Wafa Sultan has become a force radical Islam has to reckon
with. For the first time, she tells her story and what she learned,
first-hand, about radical Islam in A God Who Hates, a passionate
memoir by an outspoken Arabic woman that is also a cautionary
tale for the West. She grew up in Syria in a culture ruled by a
god who hates women. “How can such a culture be anything
but barbarous?”, Sultan asks. “It can’t”, she concludes “because
any culture that hates its women can’t love anything else.” She
believes that the god who hates is waging a battle between
modernity and barbarism, not a battle between religions. She
also knows that it’s a battle radical Islam will lose. Condemned
by some and praised by others for speaking out, Sultan wants
everyone to understand the danger posed by A God Who Hates.

THE REMAINS OF
COMPANY D
A Story of the Great War
JAMES CARL NELSON
This compelling and heroic tale of battle is rooted in one man’s
search for his grandfather’s legacy—a rare and unique account
of WWI that has never before been told
Haunted by an ancestor’s tale of near-death on a distant battlefield, James Nelson set out in
pursuit of the scraps of memory of his grandfather’s small infantry unit. Years of travel across
the world led to the retrieval of unpublished personal papers, obscure memoirs and communications from numerous Doughboys as well as original interviews of the descendents of
his grandfather’s comrades in arms. The result is a compelling tale of battle rooted in new
primary sources, a rare eye-level account of the Great War and one man’s search for his grandfather’s legacy in a horrifying maelstrom that is today poorly understood and nearly forgotten.
The Remains of Company D follows the members of Company D, 28th Infantry Regiment,
United States First Division from enlistment to combat to the effort to recover their remains,
focusing on the three major battles at Cantigny, Soissons, and in the Meuse-Argonne and the
effect these horrific battles had on the men.
This is an important and powerful tale of the different destinies, personalities, and motivations of the men in Company D and a timeless portrayal of men at war.
JAMES CARL NELSON is a journalist who has worked as a staff writer for The Miami Herald. He is
an active member of the Western Front Association, which is devoted to the study of the Great War. He
lives in Eden Prairie, Minnesota.

March 1944: War’s darkest period descends upon Hungary’s
Jews. By the time it ends in January 1945, over half a million
Jews will have been murdered. Gratitude tells the story of that
period, through the eyes of the wealthy Beck family, whose
lives and loves are saved and lost. At the center of it all is Paul
Beck, a young lawyer whose chance meeting with a visiting
Swede, Raoul Wallenberg, may alter the inevitability of the
Jews’ fate. Like The Garden of the Finzi-Continis, Gratitude
captures forever the pain and passion of one’s family precious
moment in time.

As leader of the unit dubbed “The Majestic Twelve,” the author
led his team on what some might call the most dangerous duty
in the Iraq War—convoy escort. Lynch tells how he formed and
commanded his all-volunteer unit, consisting of wildly varying
personalities who nevertheless shared an unshakeable commitment to each other and their missions. This action-packed narrative, taking place between February and August 2004:
• Describes how the Twelve performed 230 missions
while never once losing a member of his team or escorts
• Provides a poignant look at brave soldiers who pay for
gun sights and body armor out of their own pockets
• Offers a fascinating look at military life and camaraderie
• Reveals how the Twelve were even criticized among
their own ranks for doing their jobs—i.e., following the
Rules of Engagements and engaging the enemy when
called for
This gripping military narrative shows how Lynch and his
team fought the war one way: to win.
JACK W. LYNCH II is a highly decorated former U.S. Marine Master
Sergeant. He was awarded the Bronze Star for valor, the Joint Service

BUT NOT FOR LONG
A NOVEL
MICHELLE WILDGEN
From the acclaimed author of You’re Not
You comes a timely and evocative novel
that explores the changing shape of
community in the face of uncertainty
Hard-shelled, career-minded Greta is the newest and least likely
member of a sustainable foods cooperative house in Madison,
Wisconsin. Shortly after she joins Karin and Hal in their stately
residence near campus, the husband Greta left appears on their
porch, drunk, and the reason for her sudden appearance becomes
clear. Yet the house members already have plenty to occupy
them: a series of summer blackouts has unearthed a disquietude lurking just under the surface for each of the three residents.
Gas is dwindling, electricity is unreliable, and the natural world
around them is in upheaval. The uneasiness of the environment
mirrors that of Greta, Hal, and Karin as they each make efforts
to resolve their own personal crises. With subtle attunement
to the hovering uncertainty affecting each of her characters,
Wildgen crafts a story both terrifying and beautiful.
“[Wildgen’s] depiction of the relationship between
Greta and her alcoholic husband, Will, may be the saddest, truest thing I’ve read in the last decade. Greta,
Hal, and Karin...felt so real to me as they grappled with
a blackout that I was surprised to set down the book
and realize they weren’t sitting in my living room.”
—NATALIE DANFORD, AUTHOR OF I N H E R I TA N C E
MICHELLE WILDGEN is a senior editor at Tin House. Her first novel,
You’re Not You, a New York Times Editor’s Choice and one of People
Magazine’s Ten Best Books of 2006, is now in development for film
by Hilary Swank and Denise DiNovi. Wildgen’s work has appeared in
O, The Oprah Magazine, The New York Times, and literary journals
including Prairie Schooner and TriQuarterly.

A ROOM FOR
LEARNING
THE MAKING OF A SCHOOL IN VERMONT
TAL BIRDSEY
The inspirational story of how one man
changed the way we think about education
marketing
Campaign
In this stirring account of a teacher and his twelve students
tucked away in the mountains of Vermont, educator Tal Birdsey
fervently documents the founding year of his small junior high
school with wit and humility. Part memoir, part meditation on
the power of art and poetry, and part criticism of standardized
education, A Room for Learning evokes a spirit of change, allowing adolescents a hand in their education. With no set curriculum
and limited resources, the students delve deep into the poetry
of Auden and Bukowski, the music of Coltrane, the emotional
landscape of Elie Weisel’s Night. Isolated from mainstream culture and constantly on the brink of apathy, this diverse group of
kids created a literary community that celebrated learning, and
demonstrated how a classroom can be place of transformative
power.
“A magical story. If you’re an educator, or thinking of
becoming one, nothing will remind you more powerfully of the nobility of your calling.”
—BILL MCKIBBEN, AUTHOR OF D E E P E C O N O M Y
“A glorious memoir. In Birdsey’s little piece of heaven,
there is simply the student, the teacher, the materials,
and the place. As he opens his students eyes, he opened
mine.”

TOXIC FRIENDS
THE ANTIDOTE FOR WOMEN STUCK IN
COMPLICATED FRIENDSHIPS
SUSAN SHAPIRO BARASH
A ground-breaking, prescriptive book that
helps women discover which friends are
worth keeping—and which ones require
too high a price
A woman can always count on are her friends—right? But what
if those friendships are hurtful, harmful, even toxic? Susan Shapiro
Barash explores the ten types of female friends and shows you
why and how women get stuck with the worst kinds, the ways
to get “unstuck, and how to recognize a true friend.” For example:
• The Leader of the Pack—it’s all on her terms
• The Doormat—and why you’re the one paying the price
• The Misery Lover—she wants to feel your pain. Really.
• The User—and why you seldom see her coming
• The Trophy Friend—and what you gain from each other
Provocative and fascinating, Susan Shapiro Barash looks at
the bonds (and bondage) of female friendships in a new light.
“This fascinating book about ‘the sisterhood’ helps
women understand and improve our essential female
friendships at all stages of our lives.”
—LESLIE MORGAN STEINER, AUTHOR OF C R A Z Y L OV E AND
M O M M Y WA R S
“Susan Shapiro Barash, who has a depth of expertise
on women’s issues, has now tackled the sensitive, complex, and intriguing subject of friendship…Her suggestions on how to deal with and even overcome negative
patterns is especially helpful—it’s hard to imagine a
woman who won’t identify with and benefit from at
least one of the many situations she discusses.”

Life is a challenge for 36-year-old Kate Cavanaugh, high school

years after finding her young husband dead in bed beside her,
Kate’s storybook life has vanished, and she and her two children

morphed into an angry, tattooed, tongue-studded teen; and
Hunter, Kate’s four-year-old, keeps his feelings sealed tight
inside and an empty ketchup bottle clasped to his heart. When
a tragedy occurs at the Alan B. Shepard High School, it’s Kate
who finds herself in need of counsel and guidance. What she
does next catapults her and her family down an unfamiliar

THE LADY AND THE POET
A Novel
MAEVE HARAN
In the tradition of the movie Shakespeare in Love and set against
the sumptuousness of Queen Elizabeth I’s court, this powerful
novel reveals the untold story behind the passion and poetry of
John Donne—and the woman who was his muse
Ann More, fiery and spirited daughter of the Mores of Loseley House in Surrey, came to London
destined for a life at the court of Queen Elizabeth and an advantageous marriage. There she
encountered John Donne, the darkly attractive young poet who was secretary to her uncle, the
Lord Keeper of the Great Seal. He was unlike any man she had ever met—angry, clever, witty
and, in her eyes, insufferably arrogant and careless of women. Yet as they were thrown together
Donne opened Ann’s eyes to a new world of passion, and sensuality.
But John Donne—Catholic by background in an age when it was deadly dangerous, tainted
by an alluring hint of scandal—was the kind of man her status-conscious father distrusted and
despised.
The Lady and the Poet tells the story of the forbidden love between one of our most admired
poets and a girl who dared to rebel against the conventions of her time. They gave up
everything to be together.
MAEVE HARAN is an Oxford law graduate and former television producer who has written eleven

Famous lines from John Donne’s poetry:
Love, all alike, no season knows, nor clime,
Nor hours, days, months, which are the rags of time.
—“The Sun Rising”
For love, all love of other sights controls
And makes one little room, an everywhere.
—“The Good Morrow”
All other things to their destruction draw,
Only our love hath no decay;
This no tomorrow hath, nor yesterday
—“The Anniversary”
If ever any beauty I did see,
Which I desired, and got, ‘twas but a dream of thee.
—“The Good Morrow”
“Rich in historical detail and full of vibrant,
vivid characters, The Lady and the Poet offers
an irresistible glimpse into the life—and
great love—of John Donne, and the woman
who gave up everything to marry him. Fans

RACE FOR THE DYING
A NOVEL
STEVEN F. HAVILL
Steven F. Havill takes readers on an
enjoyable ride in this historical adventure
set in the heart of timber country
The young Dr. Thomas Parks expects to practice trauma medicine
with a distinguished doctor in Port McKinney, Washington. What
he does not expect is to be nearly killed within an hour of arriving. The accident changes his life, and with long hours of
painful convalescence, Thomas makes a sobering discovery: the
physician who has invited Thomas to join his practice is not
what he seems.
At the center of the conflict is mail-order diagnosis, which
flourished until the U.S. mail fraud statutes of 1908. In its landmark report of 1910, the American Medical Association reported
that several physicians had organizations that recorded more
than 3,000 postal responses per month, a large percentage of
which included money for worthless medicine.
Steven F. Havill departs from his well-received mystery
series to bring readers this fascinating historical novel.
Praise for Steven F. Havill:
“The action and suspense have been ratcheted up several notches here, but Havill’s always-sensitive depictions of human relationships remain the backbone of
the series.”

TOMMY GUN
HOW GENERAL THOMPSON’S
SUBMACHINE GUN WROTE HISTORY
BILL YENNE
A military and cultural history of one of
the world’s most recognizable firearms, a
gun that has made history in the hands of
World War II soldiers, Chicago mobsters,
IRA gunmen, and Hollywood stars
The Trench Broom. The Annihilator. The Persuader. The Chopper.
The Chicago Typewriter. The Tommy Gun.
The Thompson submachine gun has gone by many names, and
for nearly a century the gun’s image has been indelibly marked
on the popular consciousness. In the style of Larry Kahaner’s
AK-47 and Julia Keller’s Mr. Gatling’s Terrible Marvel, Yenne charts
the Tommy gun’s unpredictable history, from its infamy in the
hands of gangsters, to its ongoing role in Hollywood, to its part
in the IRA’s fight for independence, to its rise to an essential,
life-saving weapon during World War II.
Equal parts military and cultural history, Bill Yenne’s Tommy
Gun is the definitive story of this unique American icon.
Praise for Bill Yenne’s Previous Work:
“Splendid....A book that has the rare quality of being
both an excellent reference work and a pleasure to
read.”

BILL YENNE is the author of more than two dozen books on military

THE BOY FROM BABY
HOUSE 10
ALAN PHILPS AND JOHN LAHUTSKY
A smart and engaging little boy afflicted with cerebral palsy,
abandoned by his mother and locked away in the Russian orphanage
system, escapes his fate by reaching out to the world in this
powerful and moving true-life story
In 1990, a young boy afflicted with cerebral palsy was born, prematurely, in Russia. His name
was Vanya. His mother abandoned him to the state childcare system and he was sent to a
bleak orphanage called Baby House 10. Once there, he entered a nightmare world he was not
to leave for more than eight years. Housed in a ward with a group of other children, he was
clothed in rags, ignored by most of the staff and given little, if any, medical treatment. He was
finally, and cruelly, confined for a time to a mental asylum where he lived, almost caged, lying
in a pool of his own waste on a locked ward surrounded by psychotic adults. But, that didn’t
stop Vanya.
Even in these harsh conditions, he grew into a smart and persistent young boy who reached
out to everyone around him. Two of those he reached out to—Sarah Philps, the wife of a British
journalist, and Vika, a young Russian woman—realized that Vanya was no ordinary child and
they began a campaign to find him a home. After many twists and turns, Vanya came to the
attention of a single woman living in the United States named Paula Lahutsky. After a lot of
red tape and more than one miracle, Paula adopted Vanya and brought him to the U.S. where
he is now known as John Lahutsky, an honors student at Freedom High School in Bethlehem,
Pennsylvania and a member of the Boy Scouts of America Order of the Arrow.
ALAN PHILPS is a reporter for the Telegraph, UK. He lives in London with his wife Sarah. JOHN
LAHUTSKY is an American high school student who lives in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania with his mother.

CHAPLIN
THE TRAMP’S ODYSSEY
SIMON LOUVISH
Acclaimed film historian Simon Louvish
examines Charlie Chaplin’s life in America
through the lens of his most famous character
An Everyman who expressed the defiant spirit of freedom, Charlie
Chaplin was first lauded and later reviled by the audience that
made him Hollywood’s richest man. He was a figure of multiple
paradoxes, and Chaplin looks afresh at this classic comedian
and his most recognizable character: The Tramp. Louvish charts
the tale of the Tramp himself through his films—from the early
Mack Sennett shorts through the major features (The Gold
Rush, City Lights, Modern Times, The Great Dictator) and weighs
the relationship between the Tramp, his creator, and his worldwide fans. Chaplin is an epic journey, summing up the roots of
Comedy and its appeal to audiences everywhere, who revelled in
Chaplin’s raw energy, his ceaseless struggle against adversity,
and his capacity to represent our own fears, foibles, dreams,
inner demons and hopes.

THE EDGE OF
TERROR
THE HEROIC STORY OF AMERICAN FAMILIES
TRAPPED IN JAPANESE-OCCUPIED PHILIPPINES
SCOTT WALKER
The amazing story of the missionaries who
risked their lives in the Philippines
marketing
Before the Japanese invaded the Philippines in World War II,
MacArthur ordered Americans living on the islands to evacuate.
Several families of Baptist missionaries chose to remain, to
support the Filipinos, continue their ministry, and help the war
effort. The Edge of Terror tells their story. While many of their
children were taken to Japanese internment camps, the adults
retreated into the jungle, where they engaged in a cat-and-mouse
game with the Japanese forces. Some worked with the Filipino
guerrillas while others made contact with the Americans. They
helped to establish resistance and gather intelligence for the
American military while also preparing for a breath-taking submarine escape that not all would live to see.
Drawing from diaries, interviews, and military archives, The
Edge of Terror describes life during the occupation and the
danger these well-meaning missionaries faced in their effort to
serve both God and country.
“A gifted writer who tells an enthralling story.”

WHEN GIANTS
WALKED THE EARTH
A BIOGRAPHY OF LED ZEPPELIN
MICK WALL
The first significant fresh reporting on the
legendary band in twenty years, built on
interviews with all surviving band members
and revealing a never-before-seen side of
the genius and debauchery that defined them
Veteran rock journalist Mick Wall unflinchingly tells the story
of the band that pushed the envelope on both creativity and
excess, even by rock ‘n’ roll standards. Led Zeppelin was the
last great band of the 1960s and the first great band of the
1970s—and When Giants Walked the Earth is the full,
enthralling story of Zep from the inside, written by a former
associate of both Jimmy Page and Robert Plant. Rich and
revealing, it bores into not only the disaster, addiction and
death that haunted the band but also into the real relationship
between Page and Plant, including how it was influenced by
Page’s interest in the occult. Comprehensive and yet intimately
detailed, When Giants Walked the Earth literally gets into the
principals’ heads to bring to life both an unforgettable band
and an unrepeatable slice of rock history.

Naval Commander Dan Lenson and his Tactical Analysis Group
specialize in out of the box military assignments. Comprising
sailors, Navy SEALS, and civilians, the group investigates and
defuses naval threats around the world.
Dan and his team are assigned to “transform” a patrol craft
squadron in the Red Sea into a leaner, meaner Navy. Meanwhile, in northern Africa, drought and famine have brought a
nation to the brink of civil war. When the United States decides
on intervention to stabilize the region, Dan and his team
become the point people for the humanitarian mission. When
a charismatic young jihadist coordinates a ferocious insurgency
against the U.S. presence, Dan and his team must kill him in
order to save thousands of lives.
With exciting action, espionage, and exotic locales, The
Crisis asks bigger questions about our obligations to relieve the
suffering of other countries, the risk of American lives to rescue
foreigners, and the role of democratic government in nations
with no central leadership.
“Those who relish naval action won’t be able to come
up for air until they turn the last page of this nail-biter.”

THE TALENTED
MISS HIGHSMITH
THE SECRET LIFE AND SERIOUS ART
OF P ATRICIA H IGHSMITH
JOAN SCHENKAR
A thrilling biography of Patricia Highsmith,
author of Strangers on a Train and The
Talented Mr. Ripley, written with full
access to the Highsmith archive
Patricia Highsmith, one of the great writers of 20th Century
American fiction, had a life as darkly compelling as that of her
favorite “hero-criminal,” talented Tom Ripley. In this revolutionary biography, Joan Schenkar paints a riveting portrait—
from Highsmith’s birth in Texas to Hitchcock’s filming of her
first novel, Strangers On a Train, to her long, strange, self-exile in
Europe. We see her as a secret writer for the comics, a brilliant
creator of disturbing fictions, and erotic predator with dozens
of women (and a few good men) on her love list. The Talented
Miss Highsmith is the first literary biography with access to
Highsmith’s whole story: her closest friends, her oeuvre, her
archives. It’s a compulsive page-turner unlike any other, a book
worthy of Highsmith herself.
marketing
“Joan Schenkar is the first writer to grapple with
Patricia Highsmith on every level of her being, from
her bizarre personal life to her incredibly prolific writing life. It’s hard to avoid superlatives when describing Schenkar’s biography, but there doesn’t seem to be
any other way to go about it.”

Comfort is the essential element of a successful interior and
the hallmark of the Parish-Hadley style. In Sister Parish Design,
Libby Cameron, Sister’s last protégé, and Susan B. Crater, Sister’s
granddaughter, explore this aspect and much more in a series
of conversations with the leading decorators of today.
Sister Parish is the iconic American decorator of her generation. Her use of flowered chintzes and overstuffed armchairs
combined with unexpected items, like patchwork quilts and
painted furniture, is credited with popularizing what is known
as American Country–style during the 1960s. Her passion for
bold color and mixed patterns invoked charm, imagination, and
a lived-in look to her rooms. Her philosophy was to be unafraid
and to put things together because you liked them--not because
they matched.
Filled with beautifully-rendered watercolor illustrations,
Sister Parish Design is more then just a stunning book—it is an
inspirational resource that all decorating aficionados’ will want

THE PURSUIT OF
OTHER INTERESTS
A NOVEL
JIM KOKORIS
Charlie Baker has just been fired, his
mortgage is due, his 401(k) is in the pits,
and when did his son get so tall? This funny,
poignant, and timely novel explores what
happens when your work life is lost, and
your real life begins
Charlie Baker—a neurotic but charming workaholic CEO seems
to have it all: a huge house in an upscale suburb, an equally
huge salary, the requisite pretty wife and accomplished son. All
of this comes crashing down when Charlie is unceremoniously
fired. In an instant, Charlie’s life is transformed from corporate
titan to just another out of work American.
Rather then tell his family, every morning Charlie leaves home
to spend his days at an outplacement firm, where he meets a
cast of equally desperate corporate misfits. Charlie reluctantly
embarks on a journey of self-discovery, trying to find his way
out of the working life, and back to his real life—and his family.
Funny, touching, and ultimately hopeful, The Pursuit of Other
Interests offers a glimpse into the workings of corporate America,
as well as into the lives, hearts and minds of the 21st century
American family.
“Mr. Kokoris’s talent is evident on every page. He is in
touch with the human spirit and offers, in this postmodern world, a refreshing hope for redemption.”

The 09’–10’ NCAA college basketball season marks the 100th
anniversary of North Carolina basketball. The Tar Heels have
earned top-five rankings in preseason polls four of the last five
years, twice at #1. But they weren’t always seen as a powerhouse team. Their strength has been decades in the making.
Light Blue Reign documents the building of a program, a behindthe-scenes, far-reaching, wide-angle perspective on one of the
most formidable college basketball teams in the country. Art
Chansky, a sportswriter who has covered basketball on Tobacco
Road for more than 30 years, uses first-hand accounts from
interviews with people who were present during the fifty-year
dynasty to construct an intimate, detailed narrative of what it
was like to play and work for the three Hall of Fame coaches
who defined this era of success.

CARRY A CHICKEN
IN YOUR LAP
OR WHATEVER IT TAKES TO GLOBALIZE
YOUR BUSINESS
BRUCE ALAN JOHNSON AND
R. WILLIAM AYRES, PH.D.
From a pair of international business
experts—the Do’s and Don’ts of succeeding in overseas markets
Recession-hit American companies are sending people overseas
in record numbers in search of new business. But sadly around
75% of these expats fail, costing an estimated $2 billion a year.
CEOs, vice presidents of international marketing, and HR
departments must learn how to choose and educate the right
people to send overseas. Beyond saving money, this book will
help save companies’ reputations in foreign markets, strengthen
their relations with partners and governments, and increase
their sales and brand loyalty. Dotted with dozens of true
stories gleaned from the authors’ globe-trotting experiences, it
answers these questions:
• Why do major corporations keep choosing the wrong
people for jobs overseas?
• What should they do differently, and how should they
do it?
• In addition to the billions of dollars lost, what does it
cost a company in terms of public standing in a foreign
market when it sends the wrong people?
• What specific damage do the wrong people do? Can any
of it be corrected?
The answer may surprise you.
BRUCE ALAN JOHNSON has run his own businesses worldwide
since 1985, helping clients such as Hewlett-Packard, BMW, and Eli
Lilly solve their international problems. R. WILLIAM AYRES, PH.D.,

TO TRY MEN’S SOULS
A Novel of George Washington and the Fight for
American Freedom
NEWT GINGRICH AND WILLIAM R. FORSTCHEN
A timeless message of the strength and resilience of our founding
fathers—at a time when our nation needs it most
After two bestselling series examining the Civil War and WWII, Newt Gingrich and William
R. Forstchen have turned their sharp eye for detail on the Revolutionary War. Their story
follows three men with three very different roles to play in history: General George Washington,
Thomas Paine, and Jonathan Van Dorn, a private in Washington’s army.
The action focuses on one of the most iconic events in American history: Washington crossing the Delaware. Unlike the bold, courageous General in Emanuel Leutze’s painting, Washington
is full of doubt on the night of December 25, 1776. After five months of defeat, morale is
dangerously low. Each morning muster shows that hundreds have deserted in the night.
While Washington prepares his weary troops for the attack on Trenton, Thomas Paine is in
Philadelphia, overseeing the printing of his newest pamphlet, The Crisis.
And Jonathan Van Dorn is about to bring the war to his own doorstep. In the heat of battle,
he must decide between staying loyal to the cause and sparing his brother who has joined up
with the British.
Through the thoughts and private fears of these three men, Gingrich and Forstchen illuminate
the darkest days of the Revolution. With detailed research and an incredible depth of military
insight, this novel provides a rare and personal perspective of the men who fought for, and
founded the United States of America.
NEWT GINGRICH, former Speaker of the House, is the author of several bestselling books, including Pearl Harbor and Gettysburg. He is a member of the Defense Policy Board and is the longest-serving
teacher of the Joint War Fighting course for Major Generals. WILLIAM R. FORSTCHEN, PH.D., is a
Faculty Fellow at Montreat College and is the author of more than 40 books.

From President Obama’s Inauguration
Address—Evoking the words of Thomas Paine
and the determination of George Washington
In the year of America’s birth, in the coldest of
months, a small band of patriots huddled by
dying campfires on the shores of an icy river.
The capital was abandoned. The enemy was
advancing. The snow was stained with blood.
At a moment when the outcome of our revolution was most in doubt, the father of our nation
ordered these words be read to the people:
“Let it be told to the future world that in the
depth of winter, when nothing but hope and
virtue could survive, that the city and the country, alarmed at one common danger, came forth
to meet it.”

TYPHOON
A NOVEL
CHARLES CUMMING
NOT FINAL ART
“Typhoon, with its deep plotting, flawed
characters, climactic conclusion and
undercurrent of mistrust is another step in
the footprints of the master, John le Carré.”
— T H E T I M E S (LONDON)
Charles Cumming, lauded internationally as the successor to
John le Carré, returns with his biggest, most ambitious thriller
to date. Beginning in 1997, just as the British are about to return Hong Kong to Chinese rule, Joe Lennox, a young operative
for SIS (MI6), loses both his girlfriend and his first high profile
asset—a prominent defector who disappears from a safe house.
The girlfriend he lost to Miles Coolidge, a hard-bitten CIA agent;
the asset to collusion between his bosses and the CIA. Over
ten years later, during the run-up to the Beijing Olympics, Lennox
is back in China, facing his old nemeses. With the CIA plotting
to use an Islamic group to destabilize China, the SIS seeking to
thwart them and his old asset the key to all of this, Joe Lennox,
Miles Coolidge, and the girlfriend they shared are all hopelessly
intertwined in a plot where trust is impossible and truth is
unknowable.
“A wholly compelling and sophisticated spy novel—
vivid and disturbing—immaculately researched and full
of harrowing contemporary relevance.”
—WILLIAM BOYD, AUTHOR OF R E S T L E S S
CHARLES CUMMING is the author of the international bestselling
thrillers A Spy By Nature and The Spanish Game. He is a contributing

Outreach to nature,

websites/bogs
In Skipjack, Christopher White spends a pivotal year with three
memorable captains as they battle man and nature to control
the fate of their island villages and oyster fleet. Through these
lively characters, White paints a vivid picture of life on a skipjack, a wooden oystering sailboat as they dredge for oysters—a
favorite staple of iconic American seafood cuisine for over a
hundred years. But this last vestige of American sailing culture
is rapidly dying. State officials have mismanaged the waters,
putting sport above business, and modernization above tradition.
These captains must set aside their rivalry to fight for their very
livelihood. With so many obstacles, it is not certain the fleet will
survive the season. Hinging on its success, the viability of the
nation’s premiere estuary and the survival of a classic American
town hang dangerously in the balance.
“A compelling story about how the wisdom of the past
can help us protect the future of our fisheries...
White’s chronicle of the gritty life aboard America’s
last sailboat fishing fleet is a tale you need to hear.”

ONLY IN NEW YORK
SAM ROBERTS
FOREWORD BY PETE HAMILL
Insight into the often charming, sometimes
maddening and always idiosyncratic things
that make New York City what it is, from
the New York Times Urban Affairs
Correspondent and podcaster
No one denies that New York City is unique—but what makes
it sui generis? Sam Roberts, longtime city reporter, has puzzled
over this in print and in his popular New York Times podcasts
for years. In Only in New York, he writes about what makes New
York tick and why things are the way they are in the greatest
of all cities on earth. The forty essays in this book cover a variety
of topics, including:
• Why do we have doormen?
• Is it noisier in the city or in the country?
• Are New Yorkers really as liberal as the rest of the
country thinks they are?
• Why wasn’t Manhattan’s cross-town street grid oriented
by the points of the compass?
• If a neighborhood loses its tony zipcode, does it lose its
cachet?
A winning and informative gift book for every fan of “the
city”, Only in New York is elegantly written and solidly reported.
SAM ROBERTS is the Urban Affairs Correspondent for The New York
Times. He was formerly city editor for The New York Daily News. His
reporting has won prizes, including awards from the Newspaper Guild
of New York and the Peter Kihss Award for the City of New York. He’s
written three books, including Who We Are Now, and The Brother,
which was a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award. His
magazine articles have appeared in The New York Times Magazine, the
New Republic, New York Magazine, and Empire State Report. He lives—

AFTER THE BUBBLE
THE RISE AND FALL OF FRANK QUATTRONE
AND IPO M ANIA
RANDALL SMITH
How a street kid from South Philly fueled
the dot.com bubble, crashed, and survived
marketing
Frank Quattrone, from a humble background in South Philly,
became the dominant IPO king of the 1990s Silicon Valley boom,
aggressively taking to market hundreds of successful (Amazon,
Cisco, VA Linux) and not-so-successful (Netscape, 3DO) tech
companies. The companies he championed changed the way
we live, and he became the larger-than-life personification of
the tech bubble. When it burst, so did the famously prickly and
combative Quattrone’s fortunes, leading to two highly publicized
obstruction of justice trials, and a conviction that was later
overturned. Now Quattrone is back, advising Google and other
companies.
This book tells the gripping story of his rise, fall, and return,
from hosting elaborate client events to the establishment of
the “Friends of Frank” accounts that would come to haunt him
during grueling cross-examination. After the Bubble chronicles
the clash of Wall Street and Silicon Valley cultures that led to
the bubble, its popping, and the rise of Silicon Valley 2.0. Its
lessons resonate in today’s post-bubble economy.
RANDALL SMITH is an award-winning reporter for The Wall Street
Journal who has covered the Street and its denizens for nearly three
decades. He is a graduate of Harvard, and with other Journal reporters
has shared the George Polk Award and a Pulitzer Prize.

GROWING UP BIN LADEN
His Wife and Son Reveal the Secret World
of Osama Bin Laden
NAJWA GHENEM BIN LADEN, OMAR BIN LADEN,
AND JEAN SASSON
In their own words, Osama bin Laden’s wife and son tell the
astonishing story of the man they knew—or thought they knew—
before September 11th, 2001
“I was not always the wife of Osama bin Laden. Once I was an innocent child dreaming little girl
dreams...”
Thus begins this powerful story as mother and son give us an extraordinary view—complete
with exclusive family photographs—of the private life of a man both loved and feared by his
family: Osama’s disapproval of modern conveniences, including electricity and medicine;
Osama toughening up his sons by taking them into the desert without food or water; Osama
moving his wives and children from a orderly life to one of extreme uncertainty. In 1996,
Osama chose the 15-year-old Omar to accompany him to the mountain fortress of Tora Bora,
where the risks of hunger and disease soon paled before the dangers of the terrorist camps.
With unprecedented access and insight, bestselling author Jean Sasson takes us inside the
secret world of Osama bin Laden.
NAJWA GHENEM BIN LADEN, who married her cousin Osama bin Laden at the age of 15, is his first
wife and the mother to seven of his sons and four of his daughters. She currently lives with relatives in
Syria. OMAR BIN LADEN, the fourth son of Osama bin Laden, has publicly called for his father to
“change his ways.” Both Omar and his mother left Afghanistan before September 11th, 2001, and neither has been in contact with Osama bin Laden since. JEAN SASSON, author of the New York Times
bestselling Princess: A True Story of Life Behind the Veil in Saudi Arabia, has studied Middle Eastern culture
for more than thirty years. She lives in Atlanta.

I was curious about Omar’s call for peace even
as his father called for violence, and found myself eager to discover how Omar had grown up.
What kind of father and husband had Osama
bin Laden been? Had he loved his wives and
children? Had Osama’s sons been forced to
participate in fighting? Had his young daughters
been married against their will? What really
went on in his household?
—JEAN SASSON
I knew that the wearing of the veil would be
only my first hurdle when I joined my new husband in Saudi Arabia. I must also become accustomed with a life of seclusion. During my
“former” life in Syria, I routinely went on outings from our family home in order to attend
school or to complete small errands. There were
other times that I might visit with my girlfriends,
or relatives. Such freedom would no longer be
acceptable.
—NAJWA GHENEM BIN LADEN
The sheer size and complexity of the Tora Bora
vistas was more than I could have ever imagined. The flamboyant panorama was spoiled by
the sight of some archaic mountain houses, fit
for nothing more than sheltering livestock. My
father motioned to the primitive dwellings and
said, “We will live here.” I said nothing, yet I
was wondering how my mother would abide living in such a wild and barren place. On the
opposite side of the homes was a dangerous
descent of over 900 meters. In my mind’s eye I
was already envisioning the toddlers in the family tumbling off the mountaintops.

There’s a baby born every minute and each one has to be named.
In this book, you’ll find an insanity of nomenclature that beggars
belief. Russell Ash has trawled birth, marriage, and death certificates, phone books, and censuses going back centuries to
compile a compendium of breathtakingly unlikely-but-true names,
from body parts (Bridget Groin) to sex (Fanny Humper), bodily
functions (Teresa Fartwangler) to food (Tom Ayto), and much,
much more.
Why on earth would Mr. and Mrs. O’Shea name their son
Rick? What were The Fants thinking when they named their
child Elle? Or Mr. and Mrs. Royd, for that matter, when naming
their daughter Emma? Or how about Everard Cock, Page Turner,

riotously entertaining collection, readers will discover real-life
examples of some of the most unusual, crude, and shocking

DELILAH
A NOVEL
INDIA EDGHILL
“A spellbinding, emotionally powerful
reinvention of a timeless tale from a
master of lyrical language. With Delilah,
India Edghill has written a song of the
heart set among clashing kingdoms and
created an historical novel to savor.”
— N E W YO R K T I M E S BESTSELLING AUTHOR NICOLE JORDAN
Given to the temple of Atargatis as a child, Delilah is raised to
be a priestess to the Five Cities that rule Canaan. With her
beloved friend Aylah, Delilah grows up under the watchful eyes
of high priestess Derceto.
In the hills of Canaan, the Israelites chafe under the rule of
the Five Cities, and choose Samson to lead them to victory. A
reluctant warrior, Samson prefers peace to war. But fearing a
rebellion, those who rule the Five Cities will do anything to
capture Samson. When Samson catches a glimpse of Delilah, he
is ready to risk his freedom to marry her, and Derceto seizes the
chance to have Samson at her mercy. The Temple’s intrigues
against Samson force Aylah and Delilah apart, lead Delilah to
question her own heart, and change her future forever.
A glorious and inventive retelling, Delilah is a soaring tale of
political turmoil, searing betrayal, and forbidden love.
“A fascinating and unorthodox retelling...Through
India Edghill’s extensive research and talent for telling
detail, this familiar tale takes on a whole new meaning.”
—NAOMI RAGEN, AUTHOR OF T H E G H O S T O F H A N N A H M E N D E S
“Richly imagined in hauntingly beautiful prose...Delilah
is a character whose compelling voice will keep you
turning the pages in this truly remarkable story.”

NONE LEFT BEHIND
THE 10TH MOUNTAIN DIVISION AND
THE T RIANGLE OF D EATH
CHARLES W. SASSER
A devastating ambush in Iraq, kidnapped
soldiers, and the men who wouldn’t leave
their comrades behind
The 10th Mountain Division is known as the most deployed
unit in the U.S. Army. Today, the War on Terror has drawn it
to Afghanistan and Iraq. To Lieutenant Colonel Mike Infanti’s
unit fell the pacification of a hellish hotbed of terrorism south
of Baghdad dubbed “The Triangle of Death.” Of the more than
3,000 Americans killed since the start of the war, over 1,000
were in this region.
Colonel Infanti assigned Delta Company to the most dangerous sector of The Triangle, a five-mile stretch of road that
paralleled the Euphrates River in a series of blind s-curves where
death stalked the Americans day and night. Delta knew they
were virtually assured of getting hit on a daily basis. Each day
and night became something to be dreaded and feared, exacting a heavy psychological toll on soldiers stressed to the limits
of their mental and physical endurance.
In the predawn of May 12, 2007, two humvees occupied by
seven soldiers and an Iraqi translator were ambushed by insurgents. When the smoke cleared, four soldiers and the translator
were dead and three were missing, presumably seized by the
enemy. For over a year, Delta searched for their missing comrades, never giving up hope. What they discovered insured
nobody in Delta would be the same again.
CHARLES W. SASSER is a decorated Vietnam veteran and Green
Beret as well as one of the most respected military writers in the field.
He is the author of more than 50 books, including the bestselling One
Shot, One Kill, First Seal, and Raider.

APACHE DAWN
ALWAYS OUTNUMBERED,
NEVER OUTGUNNED
DAMIEN LEWIS
The true story of the brutally intense
combat missions of two Apache helicopters
over a 100-day deployment in Afghanistan
in the summer of 2007
The Apache attack helicopter is one of the world’s most awesome weapons systems. Deployed for the first time in Afghanistan,
it has already passed into legend. The only thing more incredible than the Apache itself are the pilots that fly her. For the
first time, Apache Dawn tells their story—and their baptism of
fire in the unforgiving battle of Helmand Province.
Their call-sign was “Ugly”—and there was no better word for
the grueling 100-day deployment they endured. Day after day,
four of England’s Army Air Corps’ finest pilots flew right into
the heart of battle, testing their aircraft to the very limit. Apache
Dawn takes the reader with them on a series of unrelenting
and brutally intense combat missions, from daring, edge-ofthe-seat rescues to dramatic close-air support in the white heat
of battle.
Bestselling author Damien Lewis has been given unprecedented access to these heroic aircrews and to the men on the
ground whose lives they saved. It is an astounding story of
bravery, skill and resilience in the face of unbelievable odds.
And it is the story of the Apache itself—the ultimate fighting
machine.
DAMIEN LEWIS has spent twenty years reporting from war zones
around the world and is the author of several works of fiction and nonfiction. His books have been nominated for the Crime Writers Golden
Dagger Award and the Charles Whiting Award for Literature. He lives
in England.

HELLRAISERS

PETER O’TOOLE, AND OLIVER REED
ROBERT SELLERS
The boozy biography of the four greatest
actors to ever walk into—or stagger out
of—a pub
marketing
Richard Burton, Richard Harris, Peter O’Toole, and Oliver Reed:
On screen they were stars. Off screen they were legends. Hellraisers
is the story of drunken binges of near biblical proportions, parties
and orgies, broken marriages, riots, and wanton sexual conquests.
Indeed acts so outrageous that if you or I had perpetrated them
we could have ended up in jail. They got away with the kind of
behaviour that today’s film stars could scarcely dream of,
because of their mercurial acting talent and because the press
and public loved them. They were truly the last of a breed.
Hellraisers is a celebratory catalogue of their miscreant deeds,
a greatest hits package of their most breathtakingly outrageous
behavior, told with humor and affection. You can’t help but
enjoy it—after all, they certainly did.

From bandages to Botox—the complete

Today, astonishing surgical breakthroughs are making limb transplants, face transplants, and a host of other previously undreamed
of operations possible. But getting here has not been a simple
story of medical progress. In Blood and Guts, veteran science
writer Richard Hollingham weaves a compelling narrative from
the key moments in surgical history. We have a ringside seat in
the operating theater of University College Hospital in London

the first open-heart surgery, and Walter Freeman’s lobotomy

PETER THE GREAT
A BIOGRAPHY
DEREK WILSON
From the bestselling historian and author
of Charlemagne and In the Lion’s Court
comes a biography of the man who
transformed Russia and, with it, the world
Peter I, Emperor of all the Russias, has been a subject of curiosity
and scrutiny for almost three centuries. Physically, he was an
imposing man who unlike previous Russian monarchs was not
afraid of hard labor. He was an experienced army officer and
navy admiral, a skilful shipbuilder, and an amazingly energetic
personality.
Peter was intelligent, impetuous, and also cruel. He quashed
several rebellions using whatever means necessary—even mass
executions. He personally interrogated his own son, Alexei, suspected of plotting against him (Alexei was the first inmate of a
high security political jail).
But the political achievements of this monumental figure
were staggering. By bringing Russia into Europe and building it
into a great European power, he single-handedly changed the
course of history. If his vision was left unfulfilled at the time of
his death it was only because it was so vast. The scale of Peter’s
massive reforms changed Russia, and Europe, forever.
