Powering Forward
What Every American Should Know
About the Energy Revolution
Bill Ritter, Jr.
“An informative why-and-how book about preventing climate change
by making the transition to clean energy.In straightforward prose
interspersed with bulleted lists and numerous charts, diagrams, maps,
and tables, Ritter tells it like it is, showing what the challenges are,
where we have failed, and why.” —Kirkus Reviews
“Governor Ritter has written an important book for anyone interested in energy and the challenge of climate change.” —Jeff Bingaman,
former US Senator (NM), former Chair, Senate Committee on Energy
and Natural Resources
“As a long-time student and policy maker regarding America’s energy
future in the 21st century, I am aware of no book that addresses our
energy challenges more comprehensively than Governor Bill Ritter’s
new book, Powering Forward.” —Gary Hart, United States Senator,
Colorado (Ret.)
A historic energy revolution is underway in the United States. Wind,
sunlight, and other sustainable resources are now the fastest growing
sources of energy in the U.S. and worldwide. American families are
installing power plants on their roofs and entire communities are
switching to 100 percent renewable energy. The urgent need to prevent climate change is causing people around the planet to question
their reliance on carbon-intensive oil, coal, and natural gas. Author
Bill Ritter, Jr., the 41st governor of Colorado and one of America’s
key thought leaders on this topic, discusses the forces behind the
energy revolution, the new ways we must think about energy, and
the future of fossil and renewable fuels. It is an essential read for any
who want to understand one of history’s biggest challenges to peace,
prosperity, and security in the United States. Written in partnership
with the Center for a New Energy Economy.
Bill Ritter was elected Colorado’s 41st governor in 2006, and during
his four-year term, Ritter established Colorado as a national and
international leader in clean energy, by building a new energy economy. He is the founder and director of the Center for the New Energy
Economy (CNEE) at Colorado State University, and lives in Denver
with his wife and four children. Join the clean energy conversation

Ancient Wyoming
Telling Your Story
A Dozen Lost Worlds Based on the
Geology of the Bighorn Basin
Jerry Apps
Kirk Johnson and Will Clyde
Sponsored by a grant from the National Science Foundation to
the Denver Museum of Natural History. Ever wondered what
the ground below you was like millions of years ago? Merging
paleontology, geology, and artistry, Ancient Wyoming illustrates
scenes from the distant past and provides fascinating details on the
flora and fauna of the past 300 million years. The book provides a
unique look at Wyoming, both as it is today and as it was throughout ancient history—at times a vast ocean, a lush rain forest, and a
mountain prairie.
Kirk Johnson is the Sant Director of the Smithsonian’s National
Museum of Natural History. He received his PhD in geology and
paleobotany from Yale University in 1989, and did postdoctoral

The Once and Future Ocean
Notes Toward a New Hydraulic Society
Peter Neill
Peter Neill’s The Once and Future Ocean aspires to do nothing less
than transform our relationship with the world’s most promising and
imperiled natural element: the ocean and the inter-connected cycles
of water, essential for all aspects of human survival in the 21st century. A successor to the work of Rachael Carson, Aldo Leopold, and
Jonathan Schell, The Once and Future Ocean is ambitious in scope
yet grounded in actionable, specific ideas and solutions for preserving
the health of the world ocean. It explores the ocean’s impact on climate, fresh water, food, energy, health, security, sustainable development, community living, and cultural traditions. Neill proposes a new
paradigm for value and social behavior around which to build a new
post-industrial, post-consumption global community. This fundamental shift is directed toward the creation of a “new hydraulic society”
wherein water in all its cycles and conveyances will determine how
we live – from our buildings and cities to the structures of governance in an increasingly populated world. Neill calls for a new ocean
ethic and offers concrete examples of technologies and applications
that already exist but have been suppressed by vested interests. The
Once and Future Ocean argues for invention and new solutions, for
new answers to fundamental questions, and for a new relationship
built around the ocean as a source for new modes of living that are
within our grasp if only we have the courage to take hold.
Peter Neill is Founder and Director of the World Ocean Observatory, a web-based place of exchange about the ocean and its relation
to climate, fresh water, food, energy, health, security, economic
development, policy, governance, and cultural traditions. He is the
past Director of the Connecticut Marine Science Consortium, the
Maritime Preservation Program at the US National Trust for Historic
Preservation, and the South Street Seaport Museum (New York).
He is the author of three novels, numerous books on maritime art,
history, and literature, and the ongoing audio feature, World Ocean
Radio, available as a blog, podcast, and in distribution in the US and
around the world in six languages.

Eye of the Beholder
The Penguin Parables
Sheila Pearsons
Photographer Laurie Salzler
Kim Colson and Bev Vucson
The photographs in this collection by photographer Laurie Salzler
are ones where in a split-second something occurred, a physical
morph where the subject left or changed, and spiritually stirred
Salzler’s soul. “Nothing remaining but a memory to be described
as best one can. But sadly, memories fade and along with them
the feelings evoked with them.” Salzler has always said that if her
photographs made just one person per day take notice of their surroundings and give into the emotions felt when they see something,
this earth and its inhabitants have a better chance of surviving.
May you be a force toward healing.
Sheila Pearsons has a BA in English, MA in Modern American Lit,
and a Master’s in Library Science and was a librarian for more
than thirty years with the Bay County Library System. Since retiring, she enjoys fly fishing, snowshoeing, and dabbling in watercolor. Hours spent on the beach, wading the rivers and collecting
words have made for a happy third chapter in a most grateful life.
Laurie Salzler holds a degree in Natural Resources Conservation
and Outdoor Recreation. She has worked with animals (wild and
domesticated) her entire life, including in the veterinary field and
equine industry at training and breeding facilities in New York,
Pennsylvania, and Michigan. She is an avid outdoor enthusiast and
enjoys horseback riding, hiking, snowshoeing, bird-watching, and
photography. She raised seeing-eye pups and started an in-home
dog training hobby to help people develop into effective pack leaders with their dogs. She currently lives in Australia.

“A nearby colony of penguins sang, danced, and worked to the
rhythm of their lives. We looked up into the cloudless sky and
listened. The palms of our mittened hands rested on the cold snow
as we leaned into the embrace of the hill. We were perfectly in the
moment. No distractions, no worries, no plans, no past, and no future. Just us and the immensity of Antarctica. Then we knew. Tears
rushed from our eyes as the realization shook us. That sound. It
was the beat of Earth’s heart.” Penguin Parables is a compilation of
epiphanies, stories, photographs, and lessons learned while on an
epic adventure to Antarctica. It is the authors’ ode to planet Earth
and their call to protect her, humanity’s Eden. So grab a parka,
bring your sense of adventure, and join them for the journey.

Junk
Digging Through America’s Love Affair with Stuff
Alison Stewart
When journalist and author Alison Stewart was confronted with
emptying her late parents’ overloaded basement, a job that dragged
on for months, it got her thinking: How did it come to this? Why
do smart, successful people hold on to old Christmas bows, chipped
knick-knacks, and books they will likely never reread? Junk details
Stewart’s three-year investigation into America’s stuff. Stewart rides
along with junk removal teams like Trash Daddy, Annie Haul, and
Junk Vets. She goes backstage at Antiques Roadshow, and learns
what makes for compelling junk-based television with the executive producer of Pawn Stars. And she even investigates the growing
problem of space junk—23,000 pieces of manmade debris orbiting
the planet at 17,500 mph, threatening both satellites and human
space exploration. But it’s not all dire. Readers will also learn that
there are creative solutions to America’s crushing consumer culture.
The author visits with Deron Beal, founder of FreeCyle, an online
community of people who would rather give away than throw away
their no-longer-needed possessions. She spends a day at a Repair
Café, where volunteer tinkerers bring new life to broken appliances,
toys, and just about anything. Junk is a delightful journey through
250-mile-long yard sales, resale shops, and packrat dens, both human
and rodent, that for most readers will look surprisingly familiar.
Alison Stewart is an award-winning journalist whose 20-year career
includes anchoring and reporting for NBC News, ABC News, and
CBS News. Stewart is the author of First Class: The Legacy of
Dunbar, America’s First Black Public High School, and is currently
the host of the Travel Channel program, Follow My Past. She lives in
New York City.

American Daredevil
The Extraordinary Life of Richard Halliburton,
the World’s First Celebrity Travel Writer
Cathryn J. Prince
With a polished walking stick and neatly pressed trousers, Richard
Halliburton served as an intrepid globetrotting guide for millions of
Americans in the 1920s and ’30s. Readers waited with bated breath
for each new article and book he wrote. During his career, Halliburton climbed the Matterhorn, nearly fell out of his plane while
shooting the first aerial photographs of Mt. Everest, and became the
first person to swim the Panama Canal. With his matinee idol looks,
the Tennessee native was a media darling in an era of optimism and
increased social openness. But as the Great Depression and looming
war pushed America toward social conservatism, Halliburton more
actively worked to hide his homosexuality, burnishing his image
as a masculine trailblazer. As chronicled in American Daredevil,
Halliburton harnessed the media of his day to gain and maintain a
widespread following long before our age of the 24-hour news cycle,
and thus became the first celebrity adventure journalist. And during
the darkest hours of the Great Depression, Halliburton did something remarkable: he inspired generations of authors, journalists, and
everyday people who dreamt of fame and glory to explore the world.
Cathryn J. Prince is the author of Death in the Baltic, Burn the Town
and Sack the Banks, and A Professor, a President, and a Meteor. She
has worked as a correspondent for the Christian Science Monitor in
Switzerland and in New York, where she reported on the United Nations, and is a frequent contributor to The Times of Israel. Prince lives
with her husband and their two children in Weston, Connecticut.

The Curious Case of Kiryas Joel
The Rise of a Village Theocracy and the Battle to
Defend the Separation of Church and State
The French Resistance Heroine
Who Outwitted the Gestapo
Louis Grumet and John M. Caher
Foreword by Judith S. Kaye
Siân Rees
Twenty years ago, on the last day of session, the New York State
Legislature created a publicly funded school district to cater to the
interests of a religious sect called Kiryas Joel, an extremely insular
group of Hasidic Jews. The sect had bought land in upstate New
York, populated it solely with members of its faction, and created
a village that exerted extraordinary political pressure over both political parties in the Legislature. Marking the first time in American
history that a governmental unit was established for a religious
group, the Legislature’s action prompted years of litigation that
eventually went to the Supreme Court. The 1994 case, The Board
of Education of the Village of Kiryas Joel v. Grumet, stands as the
most important legal precedent in the fight to uphold the separation of church and state. In The Curious Case of Kiryas Joel,
plaintiff Louis Grumet opens a window onto the Satmar Hasidic
community and details the inside story of his fight for the First
Amendment. This story—a blend of politics, religion, cultural
clashes, and constitutional tension—is an object lesson in the ongoing debate over freedom of vs. freedom from religion.
Louis Grumet is the former executive director of the New York
State School Boards Association. He has previously held various
positions including special assistant to then New York Secretary
of State Mario Cuomo. John Caher is an award-winning writer
specializing in legal reportage. He is the author or coauthor of five
books including Personal Bankruptcy Laws for Dummies, King of
the Mountain, and A Time for Reflection. Judith S. Kaye, the first
woman to serve on New York’s highest court and the state’s chief
judge for 15 years, is now of counsel to the Manhattan law firm of
Skadden, Arps, Slate, Leagher and Flom.

Lucie Aubrac
Brilliant, intensely political, and inseparable for nearly 70 years,
Lucie Aubrac and her husband, Raymond, are legendary figures of
the French Resistance. Founding leaders of Libération-Sud, one of
the most important resistance movements in France, they ran the
underground newspaper Libération and served as couriers, arms
carriers, and saboteurs. In 1943, when the Gestapo imprisoned
Raymond, Lucie engineered a daring escape plan that brought
her face to face with feared Gestapo chief Klaus Barbie. When
Raymond was arrested again, Lucie mounted a second astonishing
rescue, ambushing the prison van that was transporting him. For
the post-war generation, the Aubracs were heroes. However, in
1983, Klaus Barbie made the bombshell claim that the Aubracs
had become informers in 1943, betraying their comrades. Although
later discredited, the allegations raised questions around the many
embellishments and inconsistencies in the tales Lucie weaved
around herself. Who was Lucie Aubrac? What did she really do in
1943? Siân Rees’s penetrating account—the first English-language
biography of this extraordinary woman—provides a long-needed
corrective to Lucie Aubrac’s own admittedly “impressionistic”
memoir and a fascinating exploration of the intersection of history,
legend, and mythologizing.
Siân Rees studied Modern History at Magdalen College, Oxford.
She is the author of The Floating Brothel, which was made into a
documentary of the same name on BBC2. She is also the author of
The Shadows of Elisa Lynch, The Ship Thieves, Moll: The Life and
Times of Moll Flanders, and Sweet Water and Bitter.

The Devil’s Defender
The Hospital Always Wins
My Odyssey Through American Criminal Justice
from Ted Bundy to the Kandahar Massacre
Issa Ibrahim
John Henry Browne
In the tradition of bestselling legal memoirs from Johnnie Cochran,
F. Lee Bailey, Gerry Spence, and Alan Dershowitz, John Henry
Browne’s memoir, The Devil’s Defender, recounts his tortuous education in what it means to be an advocate—and a human being.
For the last four decades, Browne has defended the indefensible.
From Facebook folk hero “the Barefoot Bandit” Colton Moore, to
Benjamin Ng of the Wah Mee massacre, to Kandahar massacre culprit Sgt. Robert Bales, Browne’s unceasing advocacy and the daring
to take on some of the most unwinnable cases—and nearly win
them all—has led 48 Hours’ Peter Van Sant to call him “the most
famous lawyer in America.” But although the Browne that America
has come to know cuts a dashing and confident figure, he has forever been haunted by his very first job out of law school: counsel
to Ted Bundy, the most famous serial killer in American history. A
drug- and alcohol-addicted (yet wildly successful) defense attorney
who could never let go of the case that started it all, Browne here
asks of himself the question others have asked him all along: does
defending evil make you evil, too?
John Henry Browne, one of America’s leading criminal defense
attorneys, has practiced law out of his Seattle offices for nearly 40
years. His life and work have been profiled in the New York Times,
Wall Street Journal, Los Angeles Times, and elsewhere.

A Memoir
Issa Ibrahim’s memoir details in searing prose his development of
severe mental illness leading to the accidental killing of his mother,
his acquittal by reason of insanity, and his subsequent commission
to a mental hospital for nearly 20 years. Raised in an idyllic creative environment, mom and dad cultivating his talent, Issa watches his family’s descent into chaos in the drug-crazed late 1980s.
Following his father’s death, Issa, grief-stricken and vulnerable,
develops a drug habit. Within two years he is addicted, psychosis
prompting his belief that his mother is possessed and he must
exorcise her. Issa receives the insanity plea and is committed to an
insane asylum with no release date. But that is only the beginning
of his odyssey. Institutional and sexual sins cause further punishments, culminating in a heated legal battle for freedom. Written
with great verve and immediacy, The Hospital Always Wins paints
a detailed picture of a broken mental health system, but also
reveals the power of art, when nurtured in a benign environment,
to provide a resource for recovery. Ultimately this is a story about
survival and atonement through creativity and courage against
almost insurmountable odds.
Issa Ibrahim is a freelance artist and writer. He has been featured
in an HBO documentary, an award winning NPR audio story, and
in numerous exhibitions the world over. He has created numerous
CD covers and merchandise designs, and his award-winning musical documentary film, Patient’s Rites, is showing in film festivals
and has been embraced by the mental health community.

Immunity
All the Clean Ones Are Married
How Elie Metchnikoff Changed
the Course of Modern Medicine
And Other Everyday Calamities in Moscow
Lori Cidylo
Luba Vikhanski
“A beguiling memoir. . . . [Cidylo] serves up amusing slices of
Soviet life. Evocative vignettes of ordinary life.” —Kirkus
Around Christmas of 1882, while peering through a microscope
at starfish larvae in which he had inserted tiny thorns, Russian zoologist Elie Metchnikoff had a brilliant insight: what if the mobile
cells he saw gathering around the thorns were the same as white
blood cells that traveled to the site of an injury or infection in a
human or other animal? Was this some form of cellular defense?
Metchnikoff’s theory of immunity, that phagocytes—white blood
cells—formed the first line of defense against invading bacteria
would eventually earn the scientist the unofficial moniker “Father of Natural Immunity” and a Nobel Prize. But first, he had
to convince his colleagues, including the skeptical Robert Koch.
Author Luba Vikhanski chronicles Metchnikoff’s remarkable life,
work, and discoveries in Immunity, the first modern biography of
this hero of medicine. Metchnikoff was a towering figure in the
scientific community of the early 20th century, a tireless humanitarian who worked to curb cholera, syphilis, and other diseases,
and pioneered research into probiotics and gerontology. Though
Metchnikoff is largely forgotten today, Vikhanski makes a compelling case that his work on natural immunity is finally receiving the
attention it deserves.
Luba Vikhanski is an award-winning author with 25 years of
experience as a popular science journalist and writer. Her work
has appeared in the New York Times, Nature Medicine, and the
Jerusalem Post, and is the author of A Well-Informed Patient’s
Guide to Breast Surgery and In Search of the Lost Cord: Solving
the Mystery of Spinal Cord Regeneration. She lives in Israel.

“A fascinating glimpse of post-Soviet society during a time
of turmoil and drastic change.” —Library Journal
“Cidylo’s light touch and wry humor make this a distinctive trip,
offering insight into both sides of the formerly bipolar world.”
—Publishers Weekly
• New in paper
In 1991, Lori Cidylo shocked her Ukrainian Polish-born parents
when she told them she was leaving her job as a reporter at an
upstate New York newspaper to live and work in the rapidly
dissolving Soviet Union. For six years, Lori lived on a shoestring
budget in Moscow, in run-down apartments, struggling with broken toilets and coping with the daily calamities of life in Russia.
As the country experienced its most dramatic transformation since
the Bolshevik Revolution, Lori realized she had stepped into a
fantastical and absurd adventure. This wry, insightful account of
what it was like for an American woman living in Russia provides
a delightful, surprising, and warmly human view of post-Soviet life.
Lori Cidylo is a freelance journalist whose work has appeared
in the Boston Herald, the Chicago Tribune, the Economist, the
Los Angeles Times, Newsday, and other publications. She lives in
Yonkers, New York.

Grandma Gatewood’s Walk
The Inspiring Story of the Woman Who
Saved the Appalachian Trail
Ben Montgomery
• New in paper
Emma Gatewood told her family she was going on a walk and
left her small Ohio hometown with a change of clothes and less
than two hundred dollars. The next anybody heard from her, this
genteel, farm-reared, 67-year-old great-grandmother had walked
800 miles along the 2,050-mile Appalachian Trail. And in September 1955, having survived a rattlesnake strike, two hurricanes,
and a run-in with Harlem gangsters, she stood atop Maine’s Mt.
Katahdin. Driven by a painful marriage to an oppressive husband,
Gatewood became the first woman to hike the entire Appalachian
Trail alone, as well as the first person—man or woman—to walk
it twice and three times. Gatewood became a hiking celebrity, and
appeared on TV and on the pages of Sports Illustrated. The public
attention she brought to the footpath, and her vocal criticism of
the lousy, difficult stretches, led to bolstered maintenance, and
very likely saved the trail from extinction. The story of Grandma
Gatewood will inspire readers of all ages by illustrating the full
power of human spirit and determination. Even those who know
of Gatewood don’t know the full story—a story of triumph from
pain, rebellion from brutality, hope from suffering.
Ben Montgomery is a staff writer at the Tampa Bay Times and
co-founder of the Auburn Chautauqua, a Southern writers’ collective. He was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in 2010 and has won

America’s Continuing Misadventures in the Middle East
Second edition, 2
Chas W. Freeman, Jr.
“Chas Freeman is one of our country’s best practitioners of
diplomacy, an art he argues we have neglected in favor of military
options... He has given us a wake up call. Let’s hope we hear it.”—
Hon. Frank Carlucci, former Secretary of Defense
In the first installment of this work, Ambassador Chas W. Freeman Jr. trenchantly described the challenges he faced when he
worked with coalition partners to push Saddam Hussein out of
Kuwait. He also reflected on the origins of Washington’s numerous intelligence failures in the Middle East, “the American way of
war”, and Washington’s consistent failure in recent decades to plan
for termination and a stable political end-state for the wars it has
so cavalierly launched. In this revised and updated edtiton of his
earlier work, Freeman deploys his customary insight and wit to
look at the significance of the Israel-Palestine conflict, the complex
consequences of the Arab Spring, the special role the Middle East
plays in global affairs (and in U.S. strategy and politics), and the
roles played in the region by China and other world powers.
Ambassador Chas W. Freeman, Jr. spent three decades as a U.S.
diplomat, winding up his government service as Assistant Secretary
of Defense for International Security Affairs. He was the principal American interpreter during President Nixon’s breakthrough
visit to Beijing; served as U.S. Ambassador to Saudi Arabia during

Arabia Incognita
Dispatches from Yemen and the Gulf
Edited by Sheila Carapico
MERIP
Yemen is an intriguing, strategically located country that is the
perennial “poor relation” of the wealthy oil monarchies of the
Arabian Peninsula and has been plagued by deadly conflict since
early 2015. In 2011, it saw a broad eruption of the mass protests
associated with the “Arab Spring”. But four years later, that popular movement was largely over-run by a series of deadly conflicts,
stoked from outside by a lengthy, lethal military intervention led
by neighboring Saudi Arabia. Arabia Incognita helps readers understand Yemen’s unfolding crisis by tracing the country’s modern
history from the strong anti-imperial movement of the 1960s
through the present complex of conflicts. The “dispatches” in this
anthology, originally published in Middle East Report, were chosen
by renowned Yemen expert Dr. Sheila Carapico. Arabia Incognita
is published in collaboration with the Middle East Research and
Information Project (MERIP), which has published Middle East
Report since 1971.
Sheila Carapico is widely recognized as a leading expert on Yemen.
She is the author of Civil Society in Yemen: The Political Economy of Activism in Modern Arabia and numerous other books.
During 2010, she was Visiting Chairperson of the Department of
Political Science at the American University in Cairo. The Middle
East Research and Information Project is a progressive, independent non-profit based in Washington, DC. Since 1971 MERIP has
provided critical analysis of the Middle East, focusing on political
economy, popular struggles, and the implications of U.S. and international policy for the region.

The General’s Son
Journey of an Israeli in Palestine
Second edition
Miko Peled
Foreword by Alice Walker
A powerful account, by Israeli peace activist Miko Peled, of his
transformation from a young man who’d grown up in the heart of
Israel’s elite and served proudly in its military into a fearless advocate of nonviolent struggle and equal rights for all Palestinians and
Israelis. His journey is mirrored in many ways the transformation
his father, a much-decorated Israeli general, had undergone three
decades earlier. Alice Walker contributed a foreword to the first
edition in which she wrote, “There are few books on the Israel/
Palestine issue that seem as hopeful to me as this one.” In the new
Epilogue he takes readers to South Africa, East Asia, several European countries, and the West Bank, Gaza, and Israel itself.
Miko Peled is an Israeli peace activist who spends his time between
Jerusalem and San Diego. Born into a strongly Zionist family in
Jerusalem, as a young man Peled witnessed the transformation of
his father, Gen. Matti Peled, from a well-known leader in Israel’s
military to a strong peace activist. The General’s Son has been
translated into numerous other languages and Peled, a gripping
public speaker, has lectured around the world in his campaign to
promote justice, democracy, and equal rights for Palestinians and
Israelis. Alice Walker is an activist and a Pulitzer Prize winning
author. She has written more than 30 books, including The Color
Purple, The Temple of My Familiar, and The Way Forward is With
a Broken Heart.

Never Can I Write of Damascus
New Titles
War Is A Lie
When Syria Became Our Home
Second edition
Gabe Huck and Theresa Kubasak
David Swanson
In 2005, teacher Theresa Kubasak and retired publisher Gabe
Huck moved to Syria to aid some of the many Iraqis who found
refuge there from the violence of US-occupied Iraq. They set up
and ran a project to prepare young Iraqi refugees for admission
to U.S. colleges. Never Can I Write of Damascus is Theresa and
Gabe’s memoir of the lives they led in four Damascus neighborhoods, 2005-2012, describing the many rich relationships they
built with Syrian, Iraqi, and Palestinian-refugee neighbors. The
book’s title is from a line by Syria’s leading poet, Nizar Qabbani.
Never Can I Write of Damascus paints a uniquely intimate picture
of daily life in the heritage-rich country of Syria in the period before and just after the 2011 eruption of unrest there. It chronicles
the heavy human toll, for Iraqis, of the U.S. invasion of Iraq. The
book contains stunning photos, charming hand-drawn maps, and
other rich supplemental content.
“David Swanson’s War Is A Lie should be required reading. It…
gives you the arguments, outrage and inspiration you need to take
action. Read it.”—Medea Benjamin, author, peace activist.
Gabe Huck was a Benedictine monk who has devoted himself to
peace and justice issues since 1965. A conscientious objector to
war, he counseled other COs and in 1967 cheered Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s antiwar speech on Vietnam. In 1968, he walked as
a mourner behind Dr. King’s coffin. In 2005, he went to Damascus
with Theresa and found a home among Syrians whom he found to
be “well practiced in kindness to refugees.” Theresa Kubasak always braided social justice activism into her 40 years as a teacher,
including work she did with the Woody Guthrie Archives. In 1999,
she traveled to Iraq in defiance of the US/UN sanctions. At age 54,
Theresa resigned from the New York Public Schools to study Arabic in Damascus. There, she founded the Iraqi Student Project with
her husband, Gabe Huck, teaching world literature and writing to
Iraqi refugee students, and tutoring Syrian refugees in Istanbul.
War Is A Lie is a thorough refutation of every major argument
used to justify wars, drawing on evidence from numerous past
wars, with a focus on those that have been most widely defended
as just and good. This is a handbook of sorts, an engaging, always
informative manual that can be used to debunk future lies before
the wars they’re deployed to justify have any chance to begin. Veteran antiwar activist Daniel Ellsberg calls War Is A Lie “a terrific
tool for recognizing and resisting war lies before it’s too late.” This
updated and expanded edition outlines lessons from America’s
most recent wars, what can be done to end warmaking, and an
epilogue that analyzes new trends in war lying and in resistance
to it. No one to whom you give this book can claim they haven’t
been warned!
David Swanson is an author, activist, journalist, public speaker,
and radio host. His books include When the World Outlawed
War, and War No More: The Case for Abolition. Swanson serves
as director of World Beyond War, and host of Talk Nation Radio.
He blogs at DavidSwanson.org and WarIsACrime.org. In the early
2000’s, he helped to expose the “Downing Street Minutes” and
other attempts to lie the United States and its allies into the Iraq
war. In 2015, he was nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize.

A Is for Atheist
An A to Z of the Godfree Life
Andrew Sneddon
Atheists may be among the fastest growing “religious” demographics in the world, but they are also perhaps the most misunderstood.
To begin, atheists have no identifying marks, no defining habits, no
obvious symbols, for all that unites them, essentially, is an absence
of belief. As a result, many religious believers may not even realize
they know atheists, whether as neighbors, friends, or coworkers. In
addition, most major religions warn against the faithless and preach
distrust of nonbelievers. This creates not only ignorance about what
it’s like to be an atheist, but also fear about the very idea of atheism.
Organized like an encyclopedia, this book aims to rectify this widespread distrust and suspicion with basic understanding. Each entry,
written in clear, concise language, covers a specific topic or question
related to being an atheist, making this the perfect primer for anyone
curious about or interested in atheism—whether to learn more about
why someone might become an atheist, how someone creates meaning and purpose as an atheist, and what life is like as an atheist.
Andrew Sneddon is professor of philosophy at the University of
Ottawa. He is the author of Autonomy, Like-Minded: Externalism
and Moral Psychology, and Action and Responsibility.

Excerpt:
There are joys to be had in unbelief. I found turning my back on religion
a relief, and I still do. Maybe you will too. For one thing, I have different
reasons to fear death than I had when I was a believer. For another, life is
less perplexing than it used to be. Or perhaps I should say that it is less
painfully and personally perplexing. There are lots of questions still to be
answered about the world in which I find myself. They just aren’t quite the
same questions as when I was a believer. Those questions turned out to be
misguided. To go godfree is not to have all of your questions answered. You
will find some answers, but maybe not as many as you would like. Instead,
to go godfree is more to trade old concerns for new ones. I think this is a
trade worth making. Not everyone will agree. That’s fine. Some who read
this book will go godfree and others won’t. What I really hope from you is
understanding, and I offer the entries in this book as a good faith (ahem)
guide to achieving this.

Young, Sick, and Invisible
Practicing Atheism in Everyday Life
A Skeptic’s Journey with Chronic Illness
Greta Christina
Ania Bula
So you’re an atheist. Now what? The way we deal with life — with
love and sex, pleasure and death, reality and making stuff up —can
change dramatically when we stop believing in gods, souls, and
afterlives. When we leave religion — or if we never had it in the
first place—where do we go? With her unique blend of compassion and humor, thoughtfulness and snark, Greta Christina most
emphatically does not propose a single path to a good atheist life.
She offers questions to think about, ideas that may be useful, and
encouragement to choose your own way. She addresses complex
issues in an accessible, down-to-earth style, including: Why we’re
here, Sexual transcendence, How humanism helps with depression
— except when it doesn’t, Stealing stuff from religion, and much
more. Aimed at new and not-so-new atheists, questioning and
curious believers, Christina shines a warm, fresh light on the only
life we have.
Drawing on her own deeply personal experiences, Ania Bula
explores what it is like to live with unseen chronic disabilities. She
paints a vibrant picture of what it is like to be diagnosed with two
life-long debilitating conditions as a young adult and relates the
challenges and frustrations of dealing with predatory alternative
medicine practitioners, arrogant doctors, indifferent bureaucracies,
and well-meaning friends and family who always seem to say either the wrong thing—or nothing at all. As she discovered, suddenly everyone’s aunt is a health expert and everyone’s fad diet a cure.
Making matters worse, her physical torment quickly translated
into mental stresses. Relationships became strained, while others,
including all-important romantic ones, never had a chance to start
at all. Wading through a constant stream of ignorance and lies, in
a desperate attempt to find peace, to stop the pain, and to return
to a more normal life, she submits to being stuffed with powders
and magic potions, poked and prodded, and even “faith healed.”
With honesty and humor, she shares her journey of pain, suffering,
and, ultimately, coping, both to help others gain some understanding about what it is like to live with chronic illness—and to help
those who might similarly suffer feel less alone, so that they too
might start living again.

Anthropocene or Capitalocene?
Nature, History, and the Crisis of Capitalism
Elmar Altvater, Eileen C. Crist, Donna J. Haraway,
Daniel Hartley, Andreas Malm, and Christian Parenti
“Jason W. Moore’s radical and rigorous work is, and richly
deserves to be, agenda-setting.” —China Miéville, author
of The City & the City
The Earth has reached a tipping point. Runaway climate change,
the sixth great extinction of planetary life, the acidification of the
oceans—all point toward an era of unprecedented turbulence in
humanity’s relationship within the web of life. But just what is
that relationship, and how do we make sense of this extraordinary
transition? Anthropocene or Capitalocene? offers answers to these
questions from a dynamic group of leading critical scholars who
challenge the conventional practice of dividing historical change and
contemporary reality into “Nature” and “Society,” demonstrating
the possibilities offered by a more nuanced and connective view of
human environment-making, joined at every step with and within
the biosphere. In distinct registers, the authors frame their discussions within a politics of hope that signal the possibilities for transcending capitalism, broadly understood as a “world-ecology” that
joins nature, capital, and power as a historically evolving whole.
Elmar Altvater is the author of The Future of the Market: An Essay

Anarchy and the Sex Question
New Titles
Antifascism, Sports, Sobriety
Essays on Women and Emancipation, 1896–1917
Forging a Militant Working-Class Culture
Emma Goldman
Edited by Shawn P. Wilbur
Julius Deutsch
Edited an dTranslated by Gabriel Kuhn
For Emma Goldman, the “High Priestess of Anarchy,” anarchism
was “a living force in the affairs of our life, constantly creating
new conditions,” but “the most elemental force in human life”
was something still more basic and vital: sex. “The Sex Question” emerged for Goldman in multiple contexts, and we find her
addressing it in writing on subjects as varied as women’s suffrage,
“free love,” birth control, the “New Woman,” homosexuality, marriage, love, and literature. It was at once a political question, an
economic question, a question of morality, and a question of social
relations. But her analysis of that most elemental force remained
fragmentary, scattered across numerous published (and unpublished) works and conditioned by numerous contexts. Anarchy and
the Sex Question draws together the most important of those scattered sources, uniting both familiar essays and archival material, in
an attempt to recreate the great work on sex that Emma Goldman
might have given us. In the process, it sheds light on Goldman’s
place in the history of feminism.
“An almost completely forgotten episode in labor history.”
—Murray Bookchin, author of Anarchism, Marxism and the
Future of the Left
Emma Goldman (1869–1940) emigrated from Russia to the United
States in 1885, just as the international anarchist movement was
forming, and soon became among the best-known figures associated with anarchism. The remainder of her life was speaking,
writing, publishing, and agitating, despite legal harassment, imprisonment, and deportation. Many years after her death, Goldman’s
ideas remain important influences among both anarchists and
feminists. Her works include Anarchism and Other Essays (1910),
My Disillusionment in Russia (1923), and Living My Life (1931).

The Austromarxist era of the 1920s was a unique chapter in
socialist history. Trying to carve out a road between reformism
and Bolshevism, the Austromarxists embarked on an ambitious
journey towards a socialist oasis in the midst of capitalism. Their
showpiece, the legendary “Red Vienna,” has worked as a model
for socialist urban planning ever since. At the heart of the Austromarxist experiment was the conviction that a socialist revolution
had to entail a cultural one. With the Fascist threat increasing,
the physical aspects of the cultural revolution became ever more
central as they were considered mandatory for effective defense. At
no other time in socialist history did armed struggle, sports, and
sobriety become as intertwined in a proletarian attempt to protect
socialist achievements as they did in Austria in the early 1930s.
Antifascism, Sports, Sobriety contains an introductory essay by
Gabriel Kuhn and selected writings by Julius Deutsch, l Deutsch
represented the physical defense of the working class against its
enemies like few others. His texts in this book are being made
available in English for the first time.
Julius Deutsch (1884–1968) was one of the most renowned representatives of the Austromarxist tendency of the 1920s and ‘30s,
chairman of the antifascist workers’ militia organization Republikanischer Schutzbund, president of the Socialist Workers’ Sport
International, prominent spokesperson for the workers’ temperance movement, and military adviser for the Republican forces in
the Spanish Civil War. Gabriel Kuhn is an Austrian-born author

The Bonnot Gang
The Story of the French Illegalists
Second edition
Relevant Theory for Radical Change
Second edition
Richard Parry
Cynthia Kaufman
This is the story of the infamous Bonnot Gang: the most notorious
French anarchists ever, and as bank expropriators the inventors
of the motorized “getaway.” It is the story of how the anarchist
taste for illegality developed into illegalism—the theory that theft
is liberating in itself. And how a number of young anarchists met
in Paris in the years before the First World War, determined to live
their lives to the full, regardless of the consequences. Paris in 1911
was a city of riots, strikes, and savage repression of the working
class. A stronghold of foreign exiles and homegrown revolutionaries, it was also the base of l’anarchie, the outspoken individualist
weekly. L’anarchie drew together people for whom crime and
revolution went hand in hand. There was Victor Kibalchich (later
known as Victor Serge), whose inflammatory articles would put
him on trial with the rest. Then there was the gang itself: Victor’s
childhood friend Raymond-La-Science, the tuberculous André
Soudy, the serious-minded René Valet, Simentoff the southerner,
and lastly the prime motivators of the group—the remorseless
Octave Garnier and the experienced Jules Bonnot. Their robberies,
daring and violent, would give them a lasting notoriety in France.
Their deaths, as spectacular as their lives, would make them a legend among revolutionaries the world over. Extensively researched
and fully illustrated with rare period photos, drawings, and maps,
this updated edition is the best account of the Bonnot Gang to
appear in any language.
“What is remarkable about Cynthia Kaufman’s book, Ideas for
Action, is how it steps back from our day-to-day struggles to gain
historical and theoretical perspective, and then moves forward
again to use these perspectives for the solution of specific, immediate problems.” —Howard Zinn, author of A People’s History of
the United States
Richard Parry studied medieval and modern history at University
College London and took a masters in European Social History at
the London School of Economics. He subsequently became a leading human rights lawyer who specialised in defending protestors.
He continues to live and practise criminal defence law in London,
his native city.

Ideas for Action
Exploring a wide range of political traditions—including Marxism, anarchism, anti-imperialism, postmodernism, feminism,
critical race theory, and environmentalism—Cynthia Kaufman
acknowledges the strengths and weaknesses of a variety of political
movements and the ideologies inspired by or generated through
them. Kaufman offers a coherent analysis without pretending to
offer “the final word” on complex issues. Instead, she helps orient
a critical understanding of the social world and a glimpse of the
excitement and rewards of serious intellectual engagement with
political ideas. Fully updated to confront pressing issues of today—
from mass incarceration to climate change, from the war on terror
to the national security state, from rising inequality to a global
shortage of care, Ideas for Action also examines the work of diverse thinkers such as Adam Smith, Paulo Freire, Grace Lee Boggs,
and Stuart Hall. Kaufman’s insights break the chains of cynicism
and lay a foundation for more effective organizing.
Cynthia Kaufman is the director of the Vasconcellos Institute
for Democracy in Action, where she also teaches community
organizing and philosophy. She is also the author of Getting Past
Capitalism: History, Vision, Hope (Lexington Books, 2012). She
is a lifelong social change activist, having worked on issues such
as tenants’ rights, police abuse, union organizing, international
politics, and most recently climate change.

Maoism and the Chinese
Revolution
A Critical Introduction
Elliott Liu
The Chinese Revolution changed the face of the twentieth century,
and the politics that issued from it—often referred to as “Maoism”—resonated with colonized and oppressed people from the
1970s down to the anticapitalist movements of today. But how did
these politics first emerge? And what do they offer activists today,
who seek to transform capitalist society at its very foundations?
Maoism and the Chinese Revolution offers the novice reader
a sweeping overview of five decades of Maoist revolutionary
history. It covers the early years of the Chinese Communist Party,
through decades of guerrilla warfare and rapid industrialization,
to the massive upheavals of the Cultural Revolution. It traces the
development of Mao Zedong’s military and political strategy,
philosophy, and statecraft amid the growing contradictions of the
Chinese revolutionary project. All the while, it maintains a perspective sympathetic to the everyday workers and peasants who lived
under the party regime, and who in some moments stood poised
to make the revolution anew. From the ongoing “people’s wars”
in the Global South, to the radical lineages of many black, Latino,
and Asian revolutionaries in the Global North, Maoist politics
continue to resonate today. As a new generation of activists take to
the streets, this book offers a critical review of our past in order to
better transform the future.
Elliott Liu is a political organizer and graduate student in the anthropology program at the CUNY Graduate Center in New York

Unfree Labour?
Esoteric Hollywood
Struggles of Migrant and Immigrant
Workers in Canada
Jay Dyer
Edited by Aziz Choudry and Adrian A. Smith
Over the past decade, Canada has experienced considerable
growth in labour migration. Moreover, temporary labour migration has replaced permanent immigration as the primary means by
which people enter Canada. Utilizing the rhetoric of maintaining
competitiveness, Canadian employers and the state have ushered
in an era of neoliberal migration alongside an agenda of austerity
flowing from capitalist crisis. Labour markets have been restructured to render labour more flexible and precarious, and in Canada
as in other high-income capitalist labour markets, employers are
relying on migrant and immigrant workers as “unfree labour.” This
book explores labour migration to Canada and how public policies
of temporary and guest worker programs function in the global
context of work and capitalist restructuring. Contributors are directly engaged with the issues emerging from the influx of temporary foreign workers and Canada’s “creeping economic apartheid.”
Aziz Choudry is associate professor in the Department of Integrated Studies in Education at McGill University and visiting professor

Free Radicals
War Resisters in Prison
C. J. Hinke
CJ Hinke was arrested in more than 35 civil disobedience actions
organized by the pacifist movement from 1963 to 1969. He was
the last American arrested for the Vietnam draft and was pardoned
by Jimmy Carter in his first official act as US president. After
moving to Canada, he defended himself before the British Columbia Supreme Court, and served prison time, including solitary
confinement, for blockading clearcut logging and roadbuilding by
multinational corporados. Fear is what keeps most citizens from
active resistance. This book is intended to break that cycle of fear
and encourage broad resistance to militarism. Free Radicals: War
Resisters in Prison is the first chronicle of absolutist resisters to
war from World War I through Iraq and Afghanistan, surveying
military conscription and desertion worldwide. The book’s extensive bibliography on war resistance, conscription, and prisons is
the first in its field.
Living in Thailand since 1989, CJ Hinke co-founded Freedom
Against Censorship Thailand (FACT) to campaign against pervasive censorship in Thai society following a military coup d’etat
in 2006. FACT’s campaign is active both locally and internationally in opposing online, book, and film censorship: “Freedom
of opinions, freedom of thought, freedom of ideas, every one
of us deserves a voice.” CJ Hinke is an international advisor to
the WikiLeaks board and FACT provided the very first documents--Thailand’s Internet blocklists-- to the WL platform. As a
Quaker, the author co-founded the Bangkok-based Nonviolence
Conflict Workshop (NVCW) to promote the peaceful political
solutions based on the teachings of Gene Sharp.

The Illusion of Democracy
A More Accurate History of the Modern
United States
Phil Mennitti
The Illusion of Democracy is a more accurate history of the United
States since the coup of 1963, when President Kennedy was executed in Dealey Plaza. This sequel focuses on the political side. It
explains Hegelian Principles and how our puppet masters create
conflict to increase their wealth and power while controlling the
media through Operation Mockingbird. It connects the dots of all
major false flag events to prove this massive deception has been
intentionally engineered to subjugate our nation to indentured
servitude in a feudal system controlled by wealthy oligarchs. This
book was written at a high school level with those students in
mind. It is perfect for high school classes, college courses, or the
average reader at home who is curious about what went wrong
over the past generation which killed the American Dream.
Phil Mennitti is an honors graduate from the Indiana University of
Pennsylvania. He earned two degrees in education and has been a
high school coach since 2008.

Killing God’s Enemies:
The Crazy War Against Jews, African-Americans
and the U.S. Government
John Lee Brook and Anthony Tinsman
Killing God’s Enemies relates the origin, history and activities of
the church of Christian Identity and its violent outgrowth called
the Phineas Priesthood. In doing so, the book reveals the group’s
philosophy of hate; their methodology, which is death to all blacks,
Jews, homosexuals and abortionists; and their goal, which is an
America ruled by white men. The church of Christian Identity is
a small and obscure religious denomination. Its radical arm— the
Phineas Priesthood— barely registers on the radar screens of the
general public’s consciousness. That is, until it’s too late. For the
Phineas Priesthood is unlike any other priesthood. There is no
seminary and no ordination. There is only one requirement: kill the
enemies of God. Killing God’s Enemies will tell the fantastic but
true tale of how Christian Identity came to exist, where the idea of
the Phineas Priesthood came from, relate the violent exploits of the
Priesthood’s lone warriors, and show how Anti-Semitism forms the
fulcrum upon which Christian Identity pivots.
John Lee Brook is the author of Blood In Blood Out: The Violent
Empire of the Aryan Brotherhood and Blood + Death: The Secret
History of Santa Muerte and the Mexican Drug Cartels. Brook is
a former priest and a convicted felon. Currently working under
a pseudonym for his own protection, he releases this controversial book, the first of its kind. Anthony Tinsman was raised in a
Christian Identity militia on a rural homestead and trained in the
defense of their extreme beliefs. Having left that craziness behind
him, circumstances in society provided further disillusionment. He
is currently serving a 35 year sentence for armed bank robbery
and the use of machine guns. He is a PEN award winning author,
his work has also appeared in The Savage Kick Literary Magazine,
Spotlight On Recovery Magazine, Blog Critics, and many more.
The Chinese Connection
Fernando Faura
The Polka Dot File on the Robert F. Kennedy Killing describes the
day-to-day chase for the mystery woman in the polka-dot dress.
The book comments on but does not dwell on the police investigation, and reads like a detective thriller instead of an academic
analysis of the investigation. It incorporates actual tapes made by
an important witness, and introduces the testimony of witnesses
not covered in other books and it is a new take on the assassination and the motives for it introduces a new theory for the reasons
behind the assassination. Original and highly personal, it reaches a
startling and different conclusion not exposed by other books.
Fernando Faura was born in Puerto Rico, and graduated cum
laude with a degree in journalism from the California State
University, Northridge. Early in his career he was correspondent
for Millionaire Magazine and Diario de la Tarde, Mexico City’s
largest daily newspaper. In 1967 he joined the Hollywood Citizens
News and began a front-page series of articles exposing large scale
Medi-Cal/Medicare abuses. For this he was nominated a Pulitzer
Prize. The 1968 presidential campaign saw him tour the country as
press director and advance man for presidential candidate and Vice
President Hubert Humphrey. Returning to the Hollywood Citizens
News Faura published two exposes that lead to an invitation to
testify at U.S. senate hearings. Fernando has won awards from the
Press Club, the National Newspaper Publishers Association, three
commendations from the Los Angeles Board of Supervisors, and an
award for “Outstanding Journalism” from the Hollywood Citizens
News. He maintains residences in Cancun, Mexico and California.

Coup.” —H.R. Bob Haldeman, former Nixon Chief of Staff
Carol E. Miller
This is the true story of betrayal at the nation’s highest level.

pursued the people who brought down the president. Their revelations shocked the world and forever changed our understanding
of politics, of journalism, and of Washington behind closed doors.
Dismantling decades of lies, Silent Coup tells the truth.

Carol E. Miller was sixteen when the private plane piloted by her
father crashed, pinning her in the wreckage, critically injuring her
parents, and killing her twelve-year-old sister. Compiled upon this
traumatic event in her life, her father told her he wished she had
died instead of her sister. For the next twenty years, she labored
under feelings of guilt, lack of self-worth and barely dared breathe
in the presence of her family. When another in a long line of
personal crises landed her in therapy with an EMDR practitioner,
she began at last to investigate the crippling emotional effects of
the plane crash. Using bi-lateral stimulation to access her fiercely
guarded memories, she learned to challenge the belief that the
crash was all her fault, and that she didn’t deserve to be alive. This
is a brave and revealing memoir of recovery from tragedy, and a
fascinating, vividly narrated exploration of the increasingly popular eye-movement therapy developed to heal the wounds trauma
leaves in its wake.
Carol E. Miller holds a PhD in English and creative writing from
the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. A former college professor
and administrator, she currently runs a commercial copywriting
business in the San Francisco Bay Area. She lives Northern California with her husband, a psychotherapist and EMDR specialist.

Seriously Not All Right
Five Wars in Ten Years
More Basic Questions Enlightened by Faith
Ron Capps
Robert J. Cormier
For more than a decade, Ron Capps, serving as both a senior
military intelligence officer and as a Foreign Service officer for
the U.S. Department of State, was witness to war crimes, ethnic
cleansing, and genocide. From government atrocities in Kosovo, to
the brutal cruelties perpetrated in several conflicts in central Africa,
the wars in both Aghanistan and Iraq, and culminating in genocide
in Darfur, Ron acted as an intelligence collector and reporter but
was diplomatically restrained from taking preventative action.
The cumulative effect of these experiences, combined with the
helplessness of his role as an observer, propelled him into a deep
depression and a long bout with PTSD, which nearly caused him to
take his own life. Seriously Not All Right is a memoir that provides
a unique perspective of a professional military officer and diplomat
who suffered (and continues to suffer) from PTSD. His story, and
that of his recovery and his newfound role as founder and teacher
of the Veterans Writing Project, is an inspiration and a sobering
reminder of the cost of all wars.
“Father Bob brings the hope and light of practical faith to the human experience of stress, depression, and anger. This book lifts me
up and propels me forward in new ways with the same faith I have
always had.” —Sr. Dianne Driscoll, SSJ, Holy Family Academy7
Bayonne, NJ
Ron Capps is the founder and director of the Veterans Writing
Project, a nonprofit that provides no-cost writing seminars and
workshops for veterans, active and reserve service members, and
military family members. His literary writing has appeared in the
Delmarva Review, JMWW, the Little Patuxent Review, the New
York Times, Prime Number, RiverLit, and in numerous online venues. His policy writing and commentary have appeared regularly in

Better Than We Believed, 2
Better Than We Believed won the Eric Hoffer Award for good
reason: presuming nothing that both traditional believers and
critical-thinking searchers will not find in their hearts, it presents
a strikingly clear concept of faith that answers the unhappiness of
people we all recognize. This sequel offers more basic questions enlightened by a faith that makes sense, and that helps to live: when
anger hits, or betrayal, a life threatening illness or self-destroying
addiction. In every chapter the reader is let into a personal conversation about the challenges most basic to all human lives.
Robert J. Cormier was a priest of the Archdiocese of Newark for

The Examen Prayer
Ignatian Wisdom for Our LivesToday
Faith Seeking Understanding in the 21st Century
Timothy Gallagher
Barbara Fiand
The examen prayer is a transforming and ever-growing practice in
Christian spirituality. In The Examen Prayer, Fr. Timothy Gallagher draws from real-life stories and his experience as a spiritual
director to explain the core principles of the examen prayer: What
is the examen and how can we begin to pray it? How can we
adapt it to our individual lives? What are its fruits?
We live in a time of bridging that invites us to learn, and then to
accept with utmost respect, that what has provided us with a certain wisdom and security for several thousand years of movement
around our star is today ebbing away and has, in fact, done so for
at least a century or more. A time of bridging involves allowing
for this realization and, with serenity, courage, and trust, seeking
the footprints revealing who has walked among us unobserved
all this time. Today this realization is lighting up with ever greater
brilliance and being recognized and acknowledged with ever more
urgency due to our scientific discoveries and spiritual insights. In
this new book, with the wisdom of years, Barbara Fiand explores
what time of bridging offers in new insights, and how we can
understand our Christian faith in this new time.
Barbara Fiand teaches spirituality at the Institute of Pastoral
Studies of Loyola University Chicago and is the author of books
that include From Religion Back to Faith: A Journey of the Heart,
In the Stillness You Will Know: Exploring the Paths of Our
Ancient Belonging, and On Becoming Who We Are. She lives in

For God and Profit
Finance, Capital, and the Good Life
Samuel Gregg
“For God and Profit is a formidable book, packed with interesting
and regularly unacknowledged and unknown historical information, especially about the contribution of Christian thinking to
the development of banking, the rise of the markets and Western
prosperity. It is also closely argued with Christian and natural law
categories of right and wrong being used to evaluate the economies
and financial systems of today and yesterday.” —Cardinal George
Pell, Prefect of the Secretariat for the Economy, Vatican City
From Christianity’s beginning, it has had a difficult relationship with
the world of money. Through developing understandings of the nature and wealth-creating capacity of capital, Christian theologians,
philosophers, and financiers exerted considerable influence upon
the development of the international financial systems that helped
unleash a revolution in the way the world thinks about and uses
capital. In For God and Profit, Samuel Gregg underscores the different ways in which Christians have helped to develop the financial
and banking systems that have helped millions escape poverty for
hundreds of years. But he also provides a critical lens through which
to assess the workings—and failures—of modern finance and banking. Far from being doomed to producing economic instability and
periodic financial crises, Gregg illustrates that how Christian faith
and reason can shape financial practices and banking institutions in
ways that restore integrity to our troubled financial systems.
Samuel Gregg is research director at the Acton Institute. He is the
author of many books, including The Commercial Society, The
Modern Papacy, and Becoming Europe. He lectures in America and
Europe on topics encompassing political economy, Catholicism, and
morality and the economy. His writing has appeared in academic
journals and magazines including Foreign Affairs, American Banker,
National Review, as well as newspapers such as the Wall Street Journal, Investors Business Daily, and the New York Post.

The Spiritual Significance
of Eating
Gianfranco Cardinal Ravasi
As a society we are obsessed with food. Our supermarkets are
overfilled, recipe books crowd the aisles of bookstores, and there
are more cooking shows than can be counted. But we are also
addicted to food, burden our bodies with toxic food, and are the
most obese nation on earth with a growing segment of people who
have little access to healthy food or enough food at all. What is the
meaning bread, wine and water hold for our material and spiritual
lives? How can we who have more food than appetite learn to
respect and cherish the food we have, share it in joyful fellowship,
and not forget those who have more appetite than food. In this
concise book Cardinal Ravasi, who is known for his interest and
understanding of contemporary culture, leads readers to the spiritual, and biblical core of Christian wisdom, respect and enjoyment
of food. Discussion questions help the reader to deepen his or her
understanding, and use the book for reading groups.
Gianfranco Cardinal Ravasi is sometimes called “the Vatican
minister of Cultural Affairs.” He is the president of the Pontifical
Council for Culture, a member of the Congregation for Catholic
Education, and a member of the Pontifical Council for Interreligious Dialogue.

American Interests in the
Holy Land Revealed in
Early Photographs
Lenny Ben-David
Although Jewish life in the Holy Land reawakened during the 19th
century, photographs of Jews in Palestine and the life they lived
there were scarce. Collecting photographs from the archives of the

York Public Library, libraries in universities and churches around
the world, and in families’ albums, Lenny Ben-David provides a
unique and visual history of the American fascination and dedication to a Jewish national home in the Holy Land. Photo essays
include fascinating stories such as why Lincoln wanted to visit
Jerusalem, how the U.S. Navy saved the Jews of Palestine in 1915,
why the Chief Rabbi of Palestine visited the White House in 1924,
why there was a Ferris wheel on the Holy Mount Zion, where did
Mark Twain stay in Jerusalem, and much more.

September 1948-March 1962
Chaim Simons
In 1947, Rabbi Kopul Rosen, a graduate of the Mir Yeshivah and
the then Principal Rabbi of the British Federation of Synagogues,

The Good Rabbi
Leading with Compassionate Halachah
Daniel Sperber
The contemporary rabbi nowadays is influenced by the modern
rabbinic establishments throughout the world, especially the
rabbinate in Israel. This monopoly on opinions and interpretations of Talmudic texts prevents individual rabbis from creating
their own independent positions out of fear of critique. The
current structure gives a negative impression on the rabbinic establishment. The Good Rabbi tries to describe and delineate key
requirements for a good Rabbi, i.e., one who can give socially
acceptable halachic solution within the parameters of Orthodox
thinking. In order to do this, Sperber points out the halachic technique and mechanisms that may be used toward this goal. These
are illustrated with stories from rabbinic literature and examples
from the responsa literature.

A survivor’s memories of life in Europe before,
during, and after the Holocaust
Mordechai Judovits
Mordechai Judovits grew up in the town of Dej, Transylvania
before the Holocaust. In 1944 he and his family are sent to the
Auschwitz concentration camp, yet he miraculously survives and
is liberated in 1945. Dealing with the three periods of his life,
Modechai Judovits describes life before, during, and after the
Holocaust in this gripping autobiography. He includes details of
the culture and life of Jews in the shtetl of Dej, specifically the
wedding of Rabbi Moshe Hager, the Wizsnitzer Rebbe. Using the
theme of the six million who perished in the Holocaust, Judovits
cites ideas on how to increase the dwindling Jewish population
by the same number of those who were lost to bring about a
Jewish rebirth.

from slavery and how this pertains to us
today. Including inspiring stories, Rabbi
Carlebach’s teachings on the book of Exodus presented in this book are intended as
a practical lesson in living a holy life.
Richard H. Schwartz
Foreword by Shmuly Yanklowitz
Who Stole My Religion? is a wake up call
to Jews to apply Judaism’s teachings on
justice, peace, compassion, and environmental sustainability to help shift our
imperiled planet onto a sustainable path.
It extols Judaism, arguing that Judaism
is a radical, transformative religion, but
many Jews, especially Orthodox Jews,
are in denial about climate change and
are supporting conservative politicians
inconsistent with Jewish values. Richard
Schwartz demonstrates that the future of
humanity depends on Jews applying Judaism’s values in response to today’s crises.
Rabbi Shlomo Carlebach was a Jewish
rabbi, religious teacher, composer, and
singer. He was renowned for his warm and
personable nature, public concerts, and
synagogue services. Rabbi Shlomo Katz
is a world renowned musician. He has
released six albums, and has conducted
numerous concert tours throughout the
world. He teaches at Yeshivat Torat Shraga
and Yeshivat Simchat Shlomo.
Richard H. Schwartz is the author of many
books including Judaism and Vegetarianism and Mathematics and Global
Survival. He is also an associate producer
of the 2007 documentary A Sacred Duty.
Rabbi Dr. Shmuly Yanklowitz was listed in
Newsweek’s “America’s Top 50 Rabbis for
2012.” He is the Founder and President of
Uri L’Tzedek, and the Founder and CEO of
The Shamayim V’Aretz Insitute. He is the
author of The Soul of Jewish Social Justice.

The Wise Rebbetzin
Women with Leadership
Authority According to Halacha
Daniel Sperber
The Wise Rebbetzin: Women with Leadership Authority According to Halakha
examines in detail the legitimacy for feminine leadership in Jewish law. Exploring the
various manifestations of female leadership,
whether as women rabbis or other forms
of female halakhic adjudication, The Wise
Rebbetzin responds to the standard criticisms leveled at the recent phenomenon of
rabbinic ordination within the Orthodox
community. This ground-breaking book argues the halakhic, political, and sociological
levels of female leadership in Judaism.
Rabbi Professor Daniel Sperber is a leading
scholar of Jewish law, customs, and ethics.
He has taught in the Talmud Department
of Bar-Ilan University, was the dean of the
Faculty of Jewish Studies, and serves as
the president of the Jesselson Institute for

Fleetwood Mac
Interviews and Encounters
Sean Egan
Fleetwood Mac was a triumph from the beginning—their first
album was the UK’s bestselling album of 1968. After some low
points—when founder Peter Green left, some fans felt that the band
continuing was sacrilege—Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks
joined, and the band’s 1977 album Rumours became one of history’s
immortals, a true classic that remained in the charts for years and
public affection forever. In the press, the ethereal Californian Stevie
Nicks, the tormented rocker Lindsey Buckingham, the dignified
English rose Christine McVie, the blunt-speaking John McVie, and
the loquacious Mick Fleetwood have all regularly been astoundingly
candid. This collection of interviews across the entirety of Fleetwood
Mac’s career features articles from such celebrated publications as
Crawdaddy, New Musical Express, Circus, Creem, Mojo, Goldmine,
Classic Rock, Blender, and Elle, as well as interviews that have never
previously appeared in print. In it, readers will learn the Fleetwood
Mac story from the band members’ own mouths, and experience it
contemporaneously rather than through hindsight.
Sean Egan is an author and journalist who has interviewed members
of Fleetwood Mac, the Beach Boys, the Beatles, the Kinks, Led Zeppelin, the Rolling Stones, the Sex Pistols, the Velvet Underground, the
Who, and many others. He is the author or editor of Bowie on Bowie, Keith Richards on Keith Richards, Jimi Hendrix and the Making

Sweet Dreams and
Flying Machines
The Life and Music of James Taylor
Mark Ribowsky
In 1970 a scraggly, antiheroic young man from North Carolina
by way of Massachusetts began presenting a comforting new
sound, a kind never heard before. Within a year, when young
ears sought a new sound, there was “Fire and Rain” and “You’ve
Got a Friend,” and a new Southern California-fed branch of pop
music. Taylor was its reluctant leader. Remarkably, Taylor has
survived: his 2015 release, Before This World, edged out Taylor
Swift and went to #1 on the charts. Today he is in better physical
and probably mental condition than during the whirlwind when he
influenced music so heavily, the decade when magazines and newspapers printed feverish stories about his gawky hunkiness, his love
affair with Joni Mitchell, his glittery marriage to Carly Simon, his
endlessly carried-out heroin habit, and sometimes even his music.
Despite it all, Taylor has become the nearest thing to rock royalty
in America. Based on fresh interviews with musicians, producers,
record company people, and music journalists, as well as previously published interviews, reviews, and profiles, Sweet Dreams and
Flying Machines is the definitive biography of an elusive superstar.
Mark Ribowsky has written thirteen books, including widely
praised biographies of Tom Landry, Howard Cosell, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Otis Redding, Phil Spector, and Satchel Paige. He has also
contributed extensively to magazines including Playboy, Penthouse, and High Times. He lives in Boca Raton, Florida.

Stick It!
My Life of Sex, Drums, and Rock ‘n’ Roll
Carmine Appice
Foreword by Rod Stewart
As told to Ian Gittins
Carmine Appice has enjoyed a jaw-dropping rock-and-roll life—
and now he is telling his scarcely believable story. Appice ran with
teenage gangs in Brooklyn before becoming a global rock star in
the Summer of Love, managed by the Mob. He hung with Hendrix, unwittingly paid for an unknown Led Zeppelin to support
him on tour, taught John Bonham to play drums (and helped Fred
Astaire too), and took part in Zeppelin’s infamous deflowering
of a groupie with a mud shark. After enrolling in Rod Stewart’s
infamous Sex Police, he hung out with Kojak, accidentally shared
a house with Prince, was blood brothers with Ozzy Osbourne and
was fired by Sharon. He formed an all-blond hair-metal band,
jammed with John McEnroe and Steven Seagal, got married five
times, slept with 4,500 groupies—and, along the way, became a
rock legend by single-handedly reinventing hard rock and heavy
metal drumming. His memoir, Stick It!, is one of the most extraordinary and outrageous rock-and-roll books of the early twenty-first
century.
Carmine Appice is one of the most revered and innovative drummers in the history of rock. He has played with Vanilla Fudge,
Cactus, Beck Bogert Appice, Rod Stewart, Ted Nugent, Ozzy Osbourne, and Pink Floyd, among many others. He lives in New York
and Los Angeles. Ian Gittins is the coauthor of Nikki Sixx’s New
York Times bestseller The Heroin Diaries. He lives in London. Rod
Stewart is one of the best-selling music artists of all time, having
sold over 100 million records. He lives in Los Angeles.

• Part of the Musicians in Their Own Words series
• New in paper
Dancing Barefoot is the full and true story of Patti Smith, widely
acknowledged as one of the most significant American artists of
the rock ’n’ roll era, a performer whose audience and appeal reach
far beyond the parameters of rock. For this paperback edition it
has been newly updated to cover the last five years. This book
traces the brilliant trajectory of her career, including the fifteen
reclusive years she spent in Detroit in the 1980s and ’90s, as well
as her triumphant return to New York. But it is primarily the story
of a performer growing up in New York City in the early and
mid-1970s. Guided by interviews with those who have known
her—including Ivan Kral, Tom Verlaine, Richard Lloyd, John Cale,
and Jim Carroll—it relies most of all on Patti’s own words. This
is Patti’s story, told as she might have seen it, had she been on the
outside looking in.
Dave Thompson is a rock journalist who has contributed to
Alternative Press, Mojo, Q, Record Collector, Rolling Stone, and
Spin. He is the author of numerous music biographies of artists
such as David Bowie, Cream, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and U2, as
well as the bestselling Kurt Cobain biography, Never Fade Away,
and the story of 1970s punk, London’s Burning. He lives in Newark, Delaware.

Judy Garland on Judy Garland is the closest we will likely come to
experiencing and exploring the legend’s abandoned autobiography.
Collecting and presenting the most important Garland interviews
and encounters that took place between 1935 and 1969, this work
opens with her first radio appearance under contract with Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer and concludes with her last known interview,
one taped for Radio Denmark just months before her death. What
makes this collection unique and distinguishes it from the plethora
of Garland biographies is that it places Judy in the role of storyteller. She wrote a number of essays for various publications and
sat for countless print, radio, and television interviews. These and
the other autobiographical efforts she made are proof that Judy
Garland wanted her story told, and wanted it told in her own
words. Finally, here it is.

Cold Sweat
My Father James Brown and Me
My Life in Music
Yamma Brown and Robin Gaby Fisher
Maceo Parker
“Cold Sweat brought tears to my eyes as I read the powerful story
of Yamma’s journey. James Brown carried the gift of music that
comes from God but also the burden of a life lived on the mountaintop. This book makes the price he paid all too clear.”
—MC Hammer
“Parker talks with his sax, chatters away without a seeming care.
It’s a musical antidepressant, an antidote to dark days.”
—San Diego Reader
• New in paper
Being the child of a global superstar is never easy. Being the
daughter of the Godfather of Soul—that’s a category unto itself.
Like every little girl, Yamma Brown wanted her father’s attention,
but fame, drugs, jail, and the complicated women in James Brown’s
life set the stage for an uncommon childhood. Cold Sweat is about
how Yamma rose to meet every challenge. Though packed with celebrity appearances ranging from Michael Jackson to Al Sharpton,
Cold Sweat is not just a celebrity book. It focuses on an everyday
issue faced by millions of women—domestic violence—and in this
book Yamma faces it in an honest and powerfully moving way.
The struggles Yamma Brown went through, both as a child and
as an adult, make for a gripping read and, in the end, a profound
examination of the nature of celebrity, violence, and survival.
Yamma Brown is the vice president of the James Brown Family
Foundation and the president and founder of Daughter of Soul
Productions. She is the youngest daughter of Deidre Jenkins and
James Brown. She lives in Atlanta, Georgia. Robin Gaby Fisher

98% Funky Stuff
• New in paper
Maceo Parker became the linchpin of James Brown’s band when he
and his brother Melvin joined the Hardest Working Man in Show
Business in 1964. His signature style helped define Brown’s brand
of funk, and the phrase “Maceo, I want you to blow!” became part
of the lexicon of black music. He took time off from Brown’s band
to play with George Clinton’s P-Funk collective; he also formed his
own group, Maceo and All the King’s Men, whose records are cult
favorites among funk aficionados. Here Maceo tells his own warm
and astonishing story, from his Southern upbringing to his career
touring the world and playing to adoring fans. Celebrating over
seventy years on Planet Groove and close to sixty on the road, here
is the definitive story of one of the funkiest musicians alive.
Maceo Parker is a saxophone player who has contributed to the
success of James Brown, George Clinton, and Bootsy Collins. He
has collaborated with Ray Charles, Ani DiFranco, James Taylor,
De La Soul, Dave Matthews Band, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, and
many others and has had a solo career for over 25 years. He lives
in Kinston, North Carolina.

Mary Wells
The Tumultuous Life of Motown’s First Superstar
Peter Benjaminson
“When you finish this book, you will mourn Mary Wells, sure, and
be grateful for the music she left. But don’t be surprised if you find
that, like John, Paul, George and Ringo, you are more than a little
in love with her as well.” —Wall Street Journal
• New in paper
Years before Diana Ross, Mary Wells was the first Motown solo
superstar, the internationally popular songstress who sang the
megahit “My Guy.” Her songs consistently and repeatedly reached
huge audiences in America and England, both black and white.
She captivated the Beatles, toured with them, and was briefly more
popular than they were on the pop charts. But Wells left Motown
at age 21 and spent the rest of her life trying to fight her way back
to the top. She also had a series of tumultuous affairs and marital
attachments with several well-known singers and songwriters. And
near the end of her life, Wells fought a drawn-out and courageous
battle with throat cancer, giving perhaps her gutsiest performance.
Peter Benjaminson has spent years interviewing Wells’s friends, lovers, and husbands, and obtained an amazingly detailed unreleased
taped interview with Wells herself. In Mary Wells, he tells her
whole story, complete with never-before revealed details about the
sex, the violence, and the drugs in her life—and about her Motown
hits that captivated the world.
Peter Benjaminson is the author of The Lost Supreme: The Life
of Dreamgirl Florence Ballard and The Story of Motown, and is
the coauthor of Investigative Reporting. He has written numerous
stories for the Atlanta Journal-Constitution and the Detroit Free

The Big Red Songbook
250+ IWW Songs!
Second edition
Foreword by Tom Morello
“This collection, the last major work both of the late ‘laborlorist’
Archie Green and of the late surrealist poet and labor publisher
Franklin Rosemont, should be of great value to folklorists, activists, and singers alike.” —Journal of American Folklore
In 1905, representatives from dozens of radical labor groups came
together in Chicago to form One Big Union—the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW), known as the Wobblies. The union was
a big presence in the labor movement and everywhere its members went, they sang. In The Big Red Songbook, the editors have
gathered songs, rare artwork, personal recollections, discographies,
and more into one big all-embracing book. In addition to the 250+
songs, writings are included from Archie Green, Franklin Rosemont, David Roediger, Salvatore Salerno, Judy Branfman, Richard
Brazier, James Connell, Carlos Cortez, Bill Friedland, Virginia
Martin, Harry McClintock, Fred Thompson, Adam Machado, and
many more.
Archie Green was an American folklorist specializing in laborlore
(defined as the special folklore of workers) and American folk
music. Tom Morello is an original member of the rock bands Rage
Against the Machine and Audioslave. Utah Phillips was a labor
organizer, folk singer, storyteller, poet, and the “Golden Voice of
the Great Southwest.” David Roediger is Kendrick Babcock Chair
of History at the University of Illinois. Franklin Rosemont was
an editor of many works and with Penelope Rosemont helmed
the venerable radical publishing house the Charles H. Kerr Co.

The Spitboy Rule
Tales of a Xicana in a Female Punk Band
Michelle Cruz Gonzales
Foreword by Mimi Thi Nguyen
Though not a riot grrl band, Spitboy blazed trails for women
musicians in the San Francisco Bay Area and beyond, but it wasn’t
easy. Misogyny, sexism, abusive fans, class and color blindness, and
all-out racism were foes, especially for Gonzales, a Chicana and
the only person of color in the band. Unlike touring rock bands
before them, the unapologetically feminist Spitboy preferred Scrabble games between shows rather than sex and drugs, and they were
not the angry manhaters that many expected them to be. Fully
illustrated with rare photos and flyers from the punk rock underground, this fast-paced, first-person recollection is populated by
scenesters and musical allies from the time including Econochrist,
Paxston Quiggly, Neurosis, Los Crudos, Aaron Cometbus, Pete the
Roadie, Green Day, Fugazi, and Kamala and the Karnivores.
Michelle Cruz Gonzales played drums and wrote lyrics for several
bands during the 1980s and 1990s. Her writing has been published
in anthologies, literary journals, and Hip Mama magazine. Michelle teaches English and creative writing at Las Positas College.
She lives in Oakland, CA. Mimi Thi Nguyen is associate professor

Never Say No To A Rock Star
In the Studio with Dylan, Sinatra,
Jagger and More...
Glenn Berger
In 1974, at the age of seventeen, author Glenn Berger served as
“schlepper” and apprentice to the legendary recording engineer,
Phil Ramone, at New York City’s A&R Studios. He was witness
to music history on an almost daily and nightly basis as pop and
rock icons such as Paul Simon, Bob Dylan, Mick Jagger, Frank
Sinatra, Burt Bacharach, Bette Midler, and James Brown performed
their hit-making magic, honed their sound, strutted their stuff,
bared their souls, and threw epic tantrums. In this memoir, full
of revelatory and previously unknown anecdotal observations of
these musical giants, Glenn recounts how he quickly learned the
ropes to move up from schlepperhood to assistant to the tyrannical
Ramone, and eventually, to become a recording engineer superstar
himself. Not only is this book a fascinating, hilarious and poignant
behind-the-scenes look of this musical Mecca, but Berger, now a
prominent psychologist, looking back through the prism of his
youthful experience and his years working as a counselor and
therapist, provides a telling and honest examination of the nature
of fame and success and the corollaries between creativity, madness
and self-destruction.
Glenn Berger, PhD was for many years in the 1970s and 80s a
recording assistant and later engineer/producer for the recording
studio A&R Studios. After 20 years in the music business, Glenn
became a psychotherapist. Excerpts from his memoir have been
published in Esquire, Rolling Stone, and SOS Magazine. He lives in
New York City.

The Real James Dean
Intimate Memories from Those
Who Knew Him Best
Edited by Peter L. Winkler
Foreword by George Stevens
In the decades following his death, many of those who knew
James Dean best––actors, directors, friends, lovers (both men and
women), photographers, and Hollywood columnists––shared
stories of their first-person experiences with him in interviews and
in the articles and autobiographies they wrote. Their recollections
of Dean became lost in fragile back issues of movie magazines and
newspapers and in out-of-print books that are extremely hard to
find. Until now. The Real James Dean is the first book of its kind:
a rich collection spanning six decades of writing in which many of
the people whose lives were touched by Dean recall their indelible
experiences with him in their own words. Here are the memorable
personal accounts of Dean from his high school and college drama
teachers; the girl he almost married; costars like Rock Hudson,
Natalie Wood, Jim Backus, and Raymond Massey; directors Elia
Kazan, Nicholas Ray, and George Stevens; entertainer Eartha Kitt;
gossip queen Hedda Hopper; the passenger who accompanied
Dean on his final, fatal road trip; and a host of his other friends
and colleagues.
Peter L. Winkler is the author of Dennis Hopper. His writing
has appeared in Filmfax, The Huffington Post, The Los Angeles
Review of Books, and Playboy. He lives in Sun Valley, California. George Stevens Jr. is the son of George Stevens, who directed
James Dean in Giant. A writer, director, and producer, he founded
the American Film Institute and is co-chairman of the President’s

(starred review)
• New in paper
In 1921, one of the biggest movie stars in the world was accused of
killing a woman. What followed was an unprecedented avalanche
of press coverage, the original “trial of the century,” and a wave
of censorship that altered the course of Hollywood filmmaking. It
began on Labor Day, when comic actor Roscoe “Fatty” Arbuckle, then at the pinnacle of his fame and fortune, hosted a party
in San Francisco’s best hotel. As the party raged, he was alone in
room 1219 with Virginia Rappe, a little-known actress. Four days
later, she died, and he was charged with her murder. Room 1219
tells the story of Arbuckle’s improbable rise and stunning fall—
from one of Hollywood’s first true superstars to its first pariah.
It presents the sensational crime story from the day of the “orgy”
through Arbuckle’s three trials. Relying on a careful examination
of documents, the book finally reveals, after almost a century of
wild speculation, what most likely occurred in room 1219.
Greg Merritt is the author of Film Production: The Complete
Uncensored Guide to Independent Filmmaking and Celluloid
Mavericks: A History of American Independent Film. He is a
senior writer for American Media Inc. and has written hundreds of
feature articles for numerous magazines. He has an MFA from the
American Film Institute.
The globe-trotting misadventures of American Candide and his
wingnut tutor, Dr. Pangloss, his totally hot BBW Cunegonde plus
sundry suicide bombers, illuminati global warmers, insurance
cults, sex-crazed illegal aliens and even the Senate Sub-Committee on Homeland Furnishings provides sufficient belly laughs to
make exile, destitution, rape, murder and torture into something
that happens to other, mostly foreign people, thank God. From
the jungle slums of darkest Africa to the lily-white McMansions
of American suburbia, the human condition wreaks havoc upon
Candide and his friends as they search for an American Dream
being held against its will in an undisclosed location. College-boy
sissies will call it a Juvenalian satire upon America’s penchant for
mindless optimism and casual racism but Candide says it’s really
‘rage against the rage, Voltaire-dude!’

The American Heretic’s
Dictionary
Revised & Expanded
Chaz Bufe
Illustrations by J. R. Swanson
“Such bitterness, such negativity, such unbridled humor, wit
and sarcasm.” —Mensa Bulletin
This new edition includes over 650 mordant definitions by Bufe—
twice as many as in the original edition—and 40 illustrations by
San Francisco artist and filmmaker J. R. Swanson. The definitions
skewer such targets as religion, the “right to life” movement, capitalism, marxism, the IRS, politicians of all stripes, and common
euphemisms, as well as male-female relations and sexual attitudes,
something which Bierce, writing in more conservative times, was
not free to do. The book concludes with a lengthy appendix of the
best 200 definitions from Bierce’s The Devil’s Dictionary.
Chaz Bufe is the author, co-author, editor/translator, or compiler/
editor of 10 other books, including Alcoholics Anonymous: Cult
or Cure?, An Understandable Guide to Music Theory, and The
Heretic’s Handbook of Quotations. He has also written for dozens
of magazines and newspapers, including Eye, Utne Reader, Communities, and New Times Weekly (now Phoenix New Times). J.R.
Swanson has been a professional illustrator since the 1980s. His
work appeared regularly in the underground political magazine
Processed World, and also in the book Bad Attitude (Verso).

Making the Most of
All Nine Lives
The Extraordinary Life of Buffy the Cat
Sandy Robins and Paul Smulson
If cats really did have nine lives, none would live all of them as fully
as Buffy, an orange tabby from the suburbs of Chicago. In the course
of his lifetime, Buffy was a bartender, a judge, a DJ, a teacher, and a
dental hygienist. Like many who live and work in a city, he spent his
days eating breakfast, commuting on public transit, going grocery
shopping, and enjoying a cold beverage at the end of a long day.
There were the chores—mowing the lawn, chopping firewood—but
then on weekends, he laid out at the beach, took the kayak out on
the water, went fishing, and relaxed by listening to music. Follow
Buffy along on 100 of his adventures, depicted in full-color photography, and learn what it means to make the most of all nine lives!
Sandy Robins is an award-winning pet lifestyle expert and a popular TV and radio guest. She is the author of several books on cats,
including For the Love of Cats: From A to Z, and her work appears
regularly on MSNBC.com and in various magazines. She lives in California. Paul Smulson was a Chicago Daily Defender sports photographer for 15 years during the Michael Jordan era. His photographs
also appeared in Sport Magazine, Chicago Sun-Times, and Fox
Sports’ Beyond the Glory.

Jim Palmer: Nine Innings
to Success
A Hall of Famer’s Approach
to Achieving Excellence
Jim Palmer and Alan Maimon
Jim Palmer was just 20 years old when he became the youngest pitcher ever to throw a World Series shutout, helping lead the Baltimore
Orioles to their first-ever championship, in 1966. Two years later,
Palmer’s budding career almost ended due to arm problems. Yet,
he mounted an inspiring comeback and reached the pinnacle of his
profession, becoming the winningest pitcher of the 1970s and the
only hurler to win a World Series game in three different decades.
With three World Series rings, three Cy Young Awards and six AllStar selections to his name, an exemplary record as a spokesperson
for charities and corporations, and his long tenure as a TV baseball
analyst, Palmer is an authority on what it takes to succeed on and
off of the field. Hall of Fame pitcher Jim Palmer and co-author Alan
Maimon take readers inside the clubhouse, broadcast booth, and
corporate world to tell the story of a one-of-a-kind career that serves
as a how-to guide on succeeding in the workplace. Interspersed with
memorable stories from his illustrious career with the Orioles, this
book includes baseball wisdom and life-lessons learned from the
one-of-a-kind Earl Weaver as well as colorful anecdotes about O’s
teammates like Cal Ripken, Jr and Rick Dempsey, and broadcast
partners Howard Cosell and Al Michaels.
Alan Maimon is an award-winning journalist who has worked with
the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the Louisville Courier-Journal, and the
New York Times. He is the coauthor of Andre Dawson’s If You Love
this Game . . . An MVP’s Life in Baseball, Dallas Green’s The Mouth
That Roared, and Shane Victorino. He lives in Hopewell, New Jersey.
Jim Palmer is a Hall of Fame pitcher who won 268 games in 19
seasons with the Baltimore Orioles. A three-time Cy Young Award
winner and six-time all-star, Palmer was a key contributor to the
Orioles’ three World Series championship teams in 1966, 1970, and
1983. After his retirement in 1984, Palmer worked as an analyst for
ABC Sports and ESPN. Palmer is also well-known for his roles as a
spokesman for Jockey and The Money Store. Palmer currently works
as a color commentator for Orioles games on MASN.

Inside Pitch
Playing and Broadcasting the Game I Love
Nick Cafardo and Tom Glavine
One of the greatest pitchers of his generation, Tom Glavine delivered
the defining moment of the Atlanta Braves’ 1990s dynasty. Glavine
took the Atlanta-Fulton County Stadium mound for Game 6 of the
1995 World Series and allowed just one hit as the Braves won 1–0
to clinch Atlanta’s first, and only, World Series title. Glavine captured the World Series MVP trophy and the hearts of Braves fans
forever. In Inside Pitch, the left-hander tells the story that led up to
this moment of glory and countless others in a Hall of Fame career
that spanned 22 seasons. Glavine provides an in-depth look at the
Braves’ glory years, including his friends and fellow Cy Young Award
winners Greg Maddux and John Smoltz and manager Bobby Cox.
Glavine also shares memories of teammates from Deion Sanders to
Chipper Jones and of playing for owner Ted Turner. He also tells
his own story from growing up in a working-class family, pushing
himself to succeed and his decision to turn down a chance to play
pro hockey, opting for baseball instead. He describes his 300th win,
his election to baseball’s Hall of Fame, and his later seasons with
the New York Mets before returning to close out his career with the
Braves. Fans of the Braves, and of baseball, will love Glavine’s book.
It is filled with all the drama and inspiration that make the game
America’s passion.
Nick Cafardo is a sportswriter for the Boston Globe. He has covered
the Boston Red Sox for 15 years for the Boston Globe and Patriot
Ledger and was chosen by Boston Magazine as Boston’s Best Sportswriter in 1994. He is the coauthor of None But The Braves. Tom
Glavine won 305 games in a career that spanned 22 seasons for the
Atlanta Braves and New York Mets. The fourth-winningest left-handed pitcher in major league history, Glavine won two Cy Young
Awards and was a 10-time All-Star. He was named the MVP of 1995
World Series after allowing just one hit in the Braves’ clinching Game
6 win over Cleveland. Glavine was inducted into the Baseball Hall of
Fame in 2014. He frequently appears as an analyst on Braves television and radio broadcasts. He lives in Atlanta, Georgia.

and were crowned 2015 World Series champions. In More Than
a Season, Moore shares how his faith and leadership principles
guided his rebooting of the Royals. Full of never-before-told stories
from inside the Royals organization More Than a Season features

100 Things Royals Fans Should
Updated World Series Edition
Matt Fulks
The history of the Royals in Kansas City may not be a long one—
the team first played in Kansas City in 1969—but it is a proud
one. Embraced by a loyal fan base and boosted by small-market
spunkiness, the team was a constant threat in the 1970s and
1980s, making multiple playoff appearances before beating the
St. Louis Cardinals for the World Series in the “I-70 Series.” Now,
this all-new guide explores all of the things every true fan should
know about the Royals and what they should do to celebrate their
favorite team. This updated edition highlights the Royals’ back-toback World Series appearances and features current starts Lorenzo
Cain, Yordano Ventura, Wade Davis, and more. The listings are
ranked in importance from one to 100, and feature such legendary
players, places, and moments as George Brett, Kaufmann Stadium,
Denny Matthews, Game 6 of the 1985 Series, Dick Howser, and a
certain infamous, pine-tar-covered bat. Packed with personalities,
places, events, and facts, this fun and informative book is the perfect tool for any fan looking to take his love for the Boys in Blue
to a whole new level.

Taking Flight
The St. Louis Cardinals and the Building
of Baseball’s Best Franchise
Rob Rains
Foreword by Whitey Herzog
Written by veteran sportswriter and Cardinals insider Rob Rains,
Taking Flight answers two basic questions – what makes the
Cardinals different from other organizations, and why are they so
successful? Perhaps the most important man in the history of the
organization was George Kissell. Among the future managers who
came under Kissell’s tutelage were Sparky Anderson, Joe Torre,
Tony La Russa and the Cardinals’ current manager, Mike Matheny.
Kissell’s imprint is still everywhere on the Cardinals’ organization,
nearly five years after his death. So too is the work of longtime
coach and catching instructor Dave Ricketts, the man who first
trained Matheny and later, Yadier Molina. It is the men such as
Kissell and Ricketts, who worked for years without fame or notoriety, who helped mold the Cardinals into the franchise it is today.
Rob Rains is the author of 31 books, mostly on baseball and many
about the St. Louis Cardinals. His list of biographies or autobiographies of Cardinals includes Tony La Russa, Albert Pujols, Mark
McGwire, Jack Buck, Red Schoendienst, and Ozzie Smith. He is a
lifetime member of the Baseball Hall of Fame and a lifetime member of the Baseball Writers Association of America.

Hall of Fame catcher Yogi Berra will forever be remembered as
much for his jovial nature and humorous malapropisms as for his
three Most Valuable Player awards and numerous World Series
rings. The Yankees’ beloved No. 8 passed away September 22,
2015 at the age of 90. A mainstay on the great Yankees teams of
the 1940s, ‘50s, and ‘60s, Berra was an 18-time All-Star and the
American League MVP in 1951, 1954, and 1955. After retiring
as a player, Berra managed both the Mets and Yankees and led
the 1973 Mets to the National League pennant. Compiled and
edited by legendary New York sportswriter Dave Anderson and
including a foreword by Ron Guidry, one of Berra’s closest friends,
this unique collection celebrates the life of an American original.
Whether re-living Berra’s clutch home runs or telling the story
behind “It ain’t over ‘til it’s over,” this book is an extraordinary
tribute to a beloved man.
Dave Anderson has been a sports columnist at the New York Times
since November 1971. Anderson was awarded the Pulitzer Prize
for distinguished commentary and won the Associated Press Sports
Editors Red Smith Award for distinguished sports column writing.
The author of 21 books and more than 350 magazine articles, Anderson lives in New Jersey. Ron Guidry pitched for the New York
Yankees for 14 seasons. Guidry’s unique friendship with Yogi Berra
was detailed in Harvey Araton’s acclaimed 2012 book Driving Mr.
Yogi. Guidry lives in Louisiana. The New York Times is regarded as the world’s preeminent newspaper. Winner of 112 Pulitzer
Prizes, it has the largest circulation of any seven-day newspaper in

Rod Laver
An Autobiography
Rod Laver and Larry Writer
Foreword by Roger Federer
Rod Laver’s memoir is the inspiring story of how a diminutive,
left-handed, red-headed country boy from Rockhampton, Australia
became one of sports’ greatest champions. Rod was a dominant
force in world tennis for almost two decades, playing and defeating
some of the greatest players of the twentieth century. In 1962, Rod
became the second man to win the Grand Slam - that is, winning
the Australian, French, Wimbledon and US titles in a single calendar year. In 1969, he won it again, becoming the only player ever to
win the Grand Slam twice. Laver’s book is a wonderfully nostalgic journey into Laver’s path to stardom, from the early days of
growing up in a Queensland country town in the 1950s, to breaking into the amateur circuit, to the extraordinary highs of Grand
Slam victories. Away from on-court triumphs, Rod also movingly
writes about the life-changing stroke he suffered in 1998, and of his
beloved wife of more than 40 years, Mary, who died in 2012 after
a long illness. Filled with anecdotes about the great players and
great matches, set against the backdrop of a tennis world changing
from rigid amateurism to the professional game we recognize today,
Rod’s book is a warm, insightful and fascinating account of one of
tennis’s all-time greats.

Rowdy Rousey
Silat for the Street
Ronda Rousey’s Fight to the Top
Burton Richardson
Mike Straka
Foreword by Chael Sonnen
The reader will learn how to defend against larger, stronger,
trained attackers, including those with an MMA background. Silat
for the Street is a functional, practical book for anyone who wants
to learn more about silat and MMA fighting techniques. This book
differs from other silat books by focusing on practical fighting
applications instead of just displaying the “artistic” but often nonfunctional portions. Richardson is known worldwide for using his
background as a scientist to rigorously test the techniques of various arts in the crucible of combat against top MMA athletes. His
ability to organize and explain detailed concepts in an easy-to-understand way makes the book accessible to individuals of all levels
of expertise. It is the only book of its kind on silat.
Already a superstar in the MMA and entertainment worlds, Ronda
Rousey’s devastating 34-second KO of Bethe Correia vaulted her
into the mainstream like never before. From her undefeated exploits in The Octagon to appearing on the cover of Sports Illustrated to starring in blockbuster film Furious 7, Rousey is the preeminent combination of athletic and pop culture stardom. Rowdy
Rousey is the ultimate tribute to this multi-talented powerhouse.
Including nearly 100 full-color photographs, fans are provided
a glimpse into this star’s life - from her days as a young Judo
champion at the Olympics to her ascent to the top of MMA as the
UFC champion. This keepsake also explores Rousey’s vast success
outside of the ring through acting, modeling and interacting with
her great fans, and looks ahead to her upcoming film roles and
future UFC blockbuster fights.
Mike Straka is the host of MMA Noise on LouderNoiseTV, and
is a veteran journalist and producer of Fox, CBS, ABC, Privcap
Media, Spike TV, AXS-TV and UFC.com. Chael Sonnen is a retired

Colonial Comics Volume II
New England 1750–1775
Edited by Jason Rodriguez
“In the first of three proposed anthologies, beautifully produced
comics reveal the rich, often overlooked lives of Native Americans,
women, and servants in colonial New England. Each of the two
dozen selections is based on primary sources, and most pieces feature
individuals whose names can be found fairly readily elsewhere. Unlike those other resources, however, the selections in this anthology
take the vantage point of more marginalized groups, bringing attention to the people history has tended to view as mere props to stories
featuring white male upper-class settlers.” —Booklist on Colonial
Comics Volume 1
“These fascinating stories concern both well-known and little-known
New Englanders, including settlers, slaves and Native Americans. . .
These engaging tales are beautifully illustrated and grounded in the
latest scholarship.” —Dr. Frank Cogliano, Professor of American
History, University of Edinburgh
A massacre in Boston. A tea party. A shot heard around the world.
But who was the first casualty of the massacre? How did the tea get
to Boston Harbor? What was the Battle of Concord like for a Minute
Man? Colonial Comics: New England, 1750–1775 expands the
frame of this important period of American History. Unconventional
characters come to life, including grave-digging medical students,
counterfeiters, female playwrights, instigators of civil disobedience,
newspaper editors, college students, rum traders, freemen, and slaves.
This second volume of the Colonial Comics trilogy is an artful look
of what life was like in the Pre-Revolutionary period, and illustrates
how the Revolutionary spirit spread to the common man and woman, one gorgeous comic story at a time.
Jason Rodriguez is a writer and editor of numerous books and
graphic novels, including the first volume of Colonial Comics, District Comics: An Unconventional History of Washington, D.C., Try
Looking Ahead, and Postcards: True Stories That Never Happened.
His work has been nominated for an Eisner Award and 8 Harvey
Awards. Colonial Comics, Volume II represents Jason Rodriguez’s
most ambitious project to date. Jason lives in Arlington, VA with his
wife and their two dogs, four cats, and a parrot. You can usually find
him on a street corner, staring out into the future.

Breaking the Ten Series
Thoreau
Breaking the Ten, Vol. 1
A Sublime Life
A. Dan and Maximilien Le Roy
Sean Michael Wilson
Illustrations by Michiru Morikawa
“To be a philosopher is not merely to have subtle thoughts, nor
even to found a school, but so to love wisdom as to live according to its dictates, a life of simplicity, independence, magnanimity
and trust.” This graphic novel biography relates the forward
looking inspirational life of the great author, philosopher and
pioneering ecologist. Henry David Thoreau was also the father
of the concept, still fresh today (viz “Occupy Wall St.”), of “civil
disobedience” which he used against slavery and the encroachment of government.
When David loses his wife and child in a tragic car accident he decides, in anger at the cruelty of the event, to turn against God. He
sets out to systematically break each of the Ten Commandments in
order to both spite God and to get his attention! But will he go all
the way, and break the commandment ‘Thou shalt not kill’? Two
mysterious figures, Mr. White and Mr. Black, try to win David over
to their side: the religious or the humanistic. Deeply sad in parts
and comical in others, this modern story explores age old questions: Is there a God? And if there is, does that God care about us?
A. Dan was born in Toulouse, France in 1970. After long studies
in Biology, his desire to draw catches up with him, leading to his
other love, comics. He has published a number of literary graphic
novels. Born in 1985, Maximilien Le Roy has written a number of
non-fiction graphic novels such as Gaza, A Paving Stone in the Sea,
and a biography of Nietzsche, besides various acclaimed works of
fiction in comics.

Guardians of the Louvre
Jirô Taniguchi
A famous manga artist provides the latest entry in the Louvre collection of graphic novels. After a group trip to Europe, a Japanese
designer stops in Paris alone, intent on visiting the museums of the
capital. But, bedridden in his hotel room with fever, he faces the
absolute solitude of one suffering in a foreign land, deprived of any
immediate or familiar recourse. When the fever breaks somewhat,
he sets out on his visit and promptly gets lost in the crowded halls
of the Louvre. Very soon, he discovers many unsuspected facets
to this world in a museum, meeting artists and their works from
various periods, in a journey oscillating between feverish hallucination and reality, finishing at the crossroads between human and
personal history. With this inner journey, Jiro Taniguchi invites us
on a temporal and artistic trip to discover a sense of place under
the leadership of some tutelary figures that appear to him, familiar
or unknown ... the guardians of the Louvre.
Jirô Taniguchi, born in 1947 in Japan, is a leading manga artist
with an important twist: his inspiration from French comics. His
most noted graphic novels are the series Summit of the Gods and
The Walking Man. He is the recipient of numerous prestigious
awards in Japan as well as from the Angouleme festival.

Annie Goetzinger
During the 1930s, Maud, an artist, discovers she has a psychic
gift. The first signs manifest themselves in the royal gardens of the
Trianon where gradually she understands that a woman from the
beyond is attempting to communicate with her. The revelation is
beyond belief: it is the ghost of Marie Antoinette appearing to her
to share a terrible secret that has tormented her for centuries. After
being guillotined, the Queen is said to have been thrown into a
common grave but then exhumed and buried with her husband,
Louis XVI, in the Saint-Denis basilica. Yet the ghost tells Maud
that her remains are still in the pit on which a chapel stands today.
The queen asks Maud to move her body to the right place so she
can finally find peace and no longer haunt people. Part fantastic
ghost story, part biography, this is a delicious beautifully illustrated look into French revolutionary history by the artist of the
bestselling ‘Girl in Dior.’

Wildcat Anarchist Comics collects the drawings of Donald Rooum,
mostly (but by no means entirely) from the long-running “Wildcat”
cartoon series that has been published in the Freedom newspaper
since 1980. Rooum does not just purvey jokes, but makes the
drawings comical in themselves, “getting the humour in the line,”
provoking laughter even in those who do not read the captions or
speech balloons. The chief characters in the strip are the Revolting
Pussycat, a short-fused anarchist who is furious and shouty; and
the Free-range Egghead, an intellectual who would like anarchism
to be respectable but sometimes appears foolish. Governments,
bosses, and authoritarians are presented as buffoons, and quite
often, so are anarchists. This thoughtful and delightful collection
includes strips from The Skeptic and many more, all beautifully
colored for the first time by Jayne Clementson. The book also
includes a lively autobiographical introduction discussing Rooum’s
role in the celebrated 1963 “Challoner case,” a conspiracy among
police officers to discredit non-violent demonstrators.
Jayne Clementson is an anarchist and a professional print designer.
Jay Kinney founded and edited Anarchy Comics, and contributed to many other comics. His previous works include Anarchy
Comics: The Complete Collection, Hidden Wisdom, and The
Masonic Myth. Donald Rooum became an anarchist in 1944 and
has contributed articles to the anarchist paper Freedom since 1947.
He studied graphic design in Bradford, England, and his cartoons
have been published in the British press since 1950. His editorial
cartoons have appeared in Peace News since 1962. His comic strip
“Wildcat” has appeared in Freedom since 1980, and “Sprite” in
The Skeptic since 1987.

The Doomed City
Arkady Strugatsky and Boris Strugatsky
Foreword by Dmitry Glukhovsky
Translated by Bromfield Andrew
Arkady and Boris Strugatsky are widely considered the greatest
of Russian science fiction masters, and their most famous work,
Roadside Picnic, has enjoyed great popularity worldwide. Yet the
novel that was their own favorite, and that readers worldwide have
acclaimed as their magnum opus, has never before been published in
English. The Doomed City was so politically risky that the Strugatsky brothers kept its existence a complete secret even from their
best friends for sixteen years after its completion in 1972. It was
only published in Russia in the late 1980s, the last of their works
to see publication. It was translated into a host of major European
languages, and now appears in English in a major new translation by
acclaimed translator Andrew Bromfield. The Doomed City is set in
an experimental city bordered by an abyss on one side and an impossibly high wall on the other. Its sole inhabitants are people who were
plucked from Earth’s history and left to govern themselves under
conditions established by Mentors whose purpose seems inscrutable.
Andrei Voronin, a young astronomer plucked from Leningrad in
the 1950s, is a diehard believer in the Experiment, even though he’s
now a garbage collector. And as increasingly nightmarish scenarios
begin to affect the city, he rises through the political hierarchy, with
devastating effect.
Arkady and Boris Strugatsky were famous and popular Russian
writers of science fiction, with more than twenty-five novels and
novellas to their names, including The Doomed City, The Inhabited Island, and Roadside Picnic. Their books have been widely
translated and made into a number of films. Andrew Bromfield
has translated into English works by Victor Pelevin, Boris Akunin,
Sergei Lukyanenko, Mikhail Bulgakov, Daniil Kharms, Leo Tolstoy,
and the Strugatsky brothers.

Jack of Shadows
Stargate
Roger Zelazny
Foreword by Joe Haldeman
Pauline Gedge
In a world half of light, half of darkness, where science and magic
strive for dominance, there dwells a magical being who is friendly
with neither side. Jack, of the realm of shadows, is a thief who
is unjustly punished. So he embarks on a vendetta. He wanders
through strange realms, encountering witches, vampires, and,
finally, his worst enemy: the Lord of Bats. He consults his friend
Morningstar, a great dark angel. He is pursued by a monstrous
creature called the Borshin. But to reveal any more would be to
spoil some of the mindboggling surprises Jack of Shadows has in
store. First published in 1971 and long out-of-print, Jack of Shadows is one of fantasy master Roger Zelazny’s most profound and
mysterious books.
Roger Zelazny (1937–1995) is best known as the author of the
critically acclaimed Chronicles of Amber series, Lord of Light, and
A Night in the Lonesome October; he won the Nebula award three
times and the Hugo award six. He wrote more than forty novels. Joe

“Gedge has fashioned a remarkable blend of gripping entertainment and haunting ideas that linger long after the book has been
put down.” —Globe and Mail
In the earliest years of the history of the universe, the Worldmaker has turned against his creations with unaccountable malice.
One by one the ruling sun lords of each solar system have fallen,
succumbing to the lure of forbidden knowledge. The terrible
punishment for their crime is isolation—the Gates connecting their
worlds to the rest of the cosmos are sealed off. Their innocence
lost, their civilizations hopelessly corrupted, the immortal sun
people are condemned to languish with their subjects in an eternity
of solitude. With courageous and often desperate measures the
remaining sun lords now prepare themselves and their subjects
for a battle unlike any they have ever imagined. The final struggle
has begun. Unfolding with epic power, Stargate is conceived with
a richness, subtlety, and depth that set it apart from most fantasy
fiction. And like Pauline Gedge’s critically acclaimed historical
novels, it is written with a vividness that is unforgettable. First
published in 1982 but long out of print, Stargate is destined to be
rediscovered and treasured as a major classic of fantasy literature.
From the publication in 1977 of Child of the Morning, her
prize-winning first novel, Pauline Gedge’s novels have found millions of readers. Ten of the books are set in ancient Egypt, while
The Eagle and the Raven is set in Roman Britain. Translated into
many languages, her novels are highly respected for their impeccable scholarship.

But You Scared Me the Most
And Other Short Stories
A Novel
John Manderino
William S. Schaill
This collection of twenty-six dark but often humorous short stories
features a pantheon of disturbed and disturbing characters, human
and otherwise. Many of the stories are modern takes on classic
monsters crafted with twisted plots and Twilight Zone-esque
endings. For example, “Wolfman and Janice” is about a werewolf
who is doing the best he can under very trying circumstances,
especially when confronted with eating his elderly neighbor’s cat.
There’s an adolescent vampire-wannabe who is suffering badly: in
love for the first time. “Frankenstein and His Mother” is a terrifying story of a grown man who wears a Frankenstein mask and
lives with his mother watching TV and eating corn chips all day
while being afraid of work. “Dracula’s Daughter” turns a pretentious hippie into an honest ghost. And Bigfoot—lonely, sexually
frustrated—tells all. Other stories feature characters who seem
perfectly normal until they’re alone. Phil, for instance, is never so
happy as when he’s with his inflatable girlfriend Vanessa—until she
tells him the devastating truth about himself. Elderly Ellen is running out of patience with her dead husband George, who’s turned
prankish. “Bob and Todd” tells the story of a hitchhiking ride gone
bad that will have readers squirming in their seats. More than just
standard monster stories, the tales in But You Scared Me the Most
reveal much more about about human nature and will appeal to a
wide range of fans of smart, funny short fiction.
This fast-paced mystery is set in the otherworldly Galapagos
Islands in 1938 during the lead-up to World War II. A fugitive
New York City cop is on the run from both the law and the mafia
after killing a local thug. Trying to make his escape in a boat he
stole from his uncle, castaway Fred Freiman, a German American,
comes ashore on the islands and stumbles upon the body of a
beautiful, enigmatic German baroness with a hatchet in her head.
The next day the baroness’s two strange companions are also
found murdered. Freiman soon finds himself trapped into tracking down the murderer, or murderers, by a corrupt local official.
International politics, local intrigues, and personal passions swirl
around Fred as he learns more about the murdered woman, who
some describe as a monster and others a lost soul. Early in the
investigation Freiman meets Ana de Guzman, a young, wealthy
Ecuadorian woman who teams up with him to unravel the tangled
mysteries. As he struggles to solve the murders, Freiman puzzles
over the baroness’s shady past and begins to wonder: Do sirens
sing intentionally to trap sailors, or do they sing because it is their
nature to sing?

One Man’s War
Clouds
A Novel
Lucy Haché
Illustrations by Michael Joyal
P. M. Kippert
One Man’s War is a gripping novel that follows the journey of
one man, Bob Kafak, through World War II. It takes you where
he fought, what he saw, what he did, and how he felt. The story
focuses on this single man and his experiences as a rifleman in a
frontline company during the war and it makes visceral the fear,
the filth, and the cold that was his constant companion. Kafak is
a reluctant hero who intentionally pisses off the brass every time
he does something heroic and gets promoted because he has seen
too many of his commanding officers get blown to pieces and he
doesn’t want to be the next. He fights from the beaches of Anzio, battles up through Southern France toward Germany, facing
one terrible heart pounding encounter after another. The story is
intensely focused on Kafak and the six feet of ground for which
he battles, purposely leaving the wider implications of the war
unspoken since that was the condition in which most soldiers on
the front lines fought.
P. M. Kippert is an attorney whose father fought on the beaches
of Anzio in Italy during World War II in the famous Third Infantry Division, Fifteenth Regiment, L Company. His father never
talked about the war until he was on his deathbed and then he told
his son the stories that inspired this novel. Kippert has published
numerous short stories; this is his debut novel. He lives in Santa Fe,
New Mexico.
“Lucy Haché pulls universal truths from her very personal observations that will resonate long after the reader has put aside this
jewel of a book. I loved each word, and every one of Michael Joyal’s perfect illustrations.” —Charles de Lint, author of Moonheart
and The Onion Girl
In this brave first book, Lucy Haché transports the reader with
intimate revelations on self-awareness and identity by exploring
both her personal and ancestral relationship to the sea, forest and
sky. Through skilled restraint and beautifully astute description,
Haché’s prose reaches past her own contemplation to connect us
all. Masterfully illustrated by artist Michael Joyal, his stunning
and meteorologically accurate cloud drawings contribute to the
overall sensory and transcendent experience.
Lucy Haché is a writer and adventurer of First Nations/Métis
and Scottish/Irish descent. She grew up in Tsulquate, a small First
Nations Community on the Northern tip of Vancouver Island. She
also writes about contemporary and historical First Nations issues.
This is her first published work. Michael Joyal recently spent one
year drawing a single piece of art for each day, culminating in the
show “365 Days Before I Sleep” at Cre8ery Gallery. He has also
produced the comic zines CrUDE and Disturb. Mr. Joyal received
his BFA from the Nova Scotia College of Art & Design.

In the second installment in the Chambers of the Heart series,
Rayne Storm’s life has become reminiscent of an early morning’s
mist hovering over the surface of her beloved bayou. She follows
the path her mother, Charlie Grace, and Grant had designed for
her years ago and accepts Grant’s proposal. At the engagement
party, Samantha “Sam” LeJeune and Rayne allow their deepest layers of doubt and insecurity to shroud their undeniable attraction to
each other and say goodbye as Sam moves to Florida for her residency. During her residency at the University of Alabama, Rayne
explores the local gay community and makes friends there who
reawaken her. Now Rayne finds herself in a fog of choices between
an upbringing she both loves yet resents for its deep southern
values and a life she knows she has no choice but to live. At some
point she knows the rain will fall and when it rains . . . it pours.

everyone is related by blood or marriage, where everyone knows
everything there is to know about everyone else, and where there
is no anonymity. So it seems for Meg Cross, living in an old farmhouse on the side of a mountain with her young niece, Maeve. It’s
easy to fall in line with her family’s expectations, but easy, too, to
resent them, when she’s certain there’s something more out there
for her. Then tragedy strikes to the core of who and what she believes she is. How does a person remake a life from all the broken
pieces? Meg finds herself forced to re-examine all she formerly
found important, and in the process, comes to realize that though
it might chafe, there is strength to be drawn from the place she
comes from, and the people to whom she is truly known.
Joyce Becker appears to have moved on after the unexpected,
mysterious death of her husband Andy a year ago. With her sister

Maggie. When Cassie announces her engagement to her boyfriend
Jacob, a series of unforeseen events unfold. The unlikely intersections of the two families threaten Cassie’s engagement plans. But
the bonds of family prevail as they grapple with secrets, forgiveness, and what it means for a person to move on with their life.

Funny how memories work, the things you remember, the things
forgotten, the things that change you. Back in the summer of 1962,
ten year-old Cassandra Parsons has her life all figured out. She lives
with her father and mother in the upstairs flat of a well-appointed
two family house in a pleasant neighborhood of Racine, Wisconsin. Her maternal aunt and grandfather live right downstairs and
her best friend Kitty has always lived two doors down. Cassandra’s
well-ordered world comes undone when her father decides to
move his nuclear family to the backwoods of Northern Wisconsin,
to renovate and manage his father’s hunting lodge. Isolated and
friendless, she is suddenly left to her own devices as her parents
plunge themselves into their new business endeavor. Loneliness
and self-pity gradually give way to growth as Cassandra learns to
appreciate the beauty of nature and the peace of quietude. Soon
she meets a half-Ojibwa girl named Sparrow. The girls become fast
friends and have a final fling with childhood, spending their last
carefree days fishing in the river and roaming the woods, pretending to be ancient Ojibwa. But their sweet Indian summer comes
to an abrupt end as tragedy strikes both girls’ families. Cassandra
and Sparrow’s friendship is tested as they try to forge a mature,
enduring relationship that hopefully will see them through even
these darkest of times.

who knows she is very close to solving the murder and who will

Sophie Darrow said yes once to a young man offering a realm of
Greek gods and immortality. Now her home has been shattered,
and her friends and family pulled along with her as they run from
an evil cult and take shelter in the gloomy Underworld. To love,
trust, and smile again seems almost out of Sophie’s reach. But
remembering the life of the original Persephone and her fellow
immortals long ago may prove the best therapy, as well as their key
to victory. In ancient times too, the murderous cult Thanatos attacked and eventually wiped out the Greek immortals who sought
to bring good to humankind. But those immortals planted seeds in
both their realm and ours to ensure that their season would bloom
again someday. And spring is finally coming.
Molly Ringle became fascinated with the colorful weirdness of

Carrying
Those We Fear
Theodore Weesner
Victoria Griffith
“Once again Theodore Weesner displays his genius for giving voice
to the forgotten and inarticulate. Though its form, like that of The
Car Thief, is the bildungsroman, and the setting a tank company
during the first Gulf War, Carrying is a prickly and provocative
meditation on racism and the limits of American innocence.”
—Stewart O’Nan, author of The Names of the Dead and editor of
The Vietnam Reader
This quick-paced, coming-of-age paranormal suspense novel has
a romantic twist. When a dangerous situation forces 18 year old
Maria to leave her Boston home, she’s swept away to Scotland
as part of a witness protection program. In a strange land, with a
new name, Maria hides out as an au pair to the Carlisle family at
the storied Harley Estate. Already known as an “over-feeler”—and
paranoid for good reason—Maria is spooked by the mysterious
behavior of the Harley residents: from the oddly energetic kids in
her care, to the miserly nurse with the sheet-white skin, to the attractive yet broody eldest son, Jonathan. As the days pass, the discovery of the Harley’s macabre and deadly family history confirms
to Maria that her growing fears and suspicions are more than just
over-sensitive nerves; that she may have fallen into something even
more horrifying and threatening than what she left behind—something not of this world. Written with lush Scottish imagery, chilling
suspense, and an addicting intensity, Griffith brings a vibrant,
contemporary edge to the classic gothic mystery.
Bestselling author Theodore Weesner releases his first new novel
in fifteen years—a gritty and realistic work of literary fiction that
throws the reader into the detonating heart of the first Iraq war.
With unapologetic candor, Weesner navigates the psychological
minefield surrounding South Boston native Jimmy Murphy, a
young soldier who writes a secret battlefield journal to his old
English professor, Herman Roth. Weesner’s narrative elegantly
weaves two gripping journeys together: Roth’s struggle with a
waning academic career, and Jimmy’s life--pulsating with rage, racial prejudice, and unfulfilled desire--as he fights to become the top
gunner of the elite 2nd Cavalry Tank Division. Jimmy’s rapid rise
through the ranks gives him a sense of purpose and order, even as
the war descends into chaos, and Iraq transforms into a wasteland
of burning oil wells and charred corpses. And when it’s all over,
will he really be able to leave the war behind? Written in Weesner’s
signature penetrative style, Carrying expertly renders a startling
portrait of a youth coming of age amongst terror and war. A timely
and beautifully written novel that inserts itself into the zeitgeist
of the legions of young soldiers who return home but never quite
leave the battlefield.

Singapore, November, 1941 . . . They called it the “Gibraltar of the

in a lightning blow, Singapore may be defeated. Call it incompetence or call it false pride. It doesn’t really matter. Just as the

Trewin, who was a proud recipient of the Distinguished Service

HMS Porcupine. Is it too late to overcome the ignorance and blind
optimism he finds in Singapore?
Burmese Coast, 1944. The conflict in Southeast Asia, however, has
reached new heights of savagery. The Special Operations mission
off the Burmese coast requires volunteers. Men with nothing to
live for, or men with everything to lose. Men like Lieutenant James
Ross, awarded the Victoria Cross for his work in underwater sabotage, or the desperate amateur Charles Villiers, heir to a fortune
now controlled by the Japanese. The two-man torpedo — The

1797: Britain stands alone against the forces of Revolutionary
France. A victorious French Army, led by the youthful Napoleon
Bonaparte, is poised to invade Britain. And in his country’s darkest
hour, Captain Nathan Peake finds himself imprisoned by his own
side on the Rock of Gibraltar charged with treason. To prove his
innocence Nathan must uncover the great deception that masks the
French war aims. Is the great armada being assembled in Toulon
bound for the shores of Great Britain or Egypt? His secret mission
to discover the truth about Napoleon’s invasion plans will hurl
him into two of the greatest battles of the 18th century.
A compelling new historical naval adventure from a master of
maritime storytelling. 1796: Nathan Peake, captain of the frigate Unicorn is sent with a small squadron into the Adriatic to
help bring Venice into an Italian alliance with Britain against the
French. He establishes a British naval presence, harrying the French
corsairs that swarm out of Ancona in Italy and confronts the politics of “intrigue, poison and the stiletto” in Venice, but learns that
Bonaparte is negotiating a peace deal with the Austrians--Britain’s
only remaining ally. Worse, the Spanish are about to ally with the
French. Nathan returns to the Unicorn and rejoins Nelson for the
decisive Battle of St. Vincent against the entire Spanish fleet.

and has an overwhelming need to serve and protect her. As Maggie
and Sean draw closer together, her long buried dreams about her
life are reawakened into a hopeful prayer…until a threat from her
past promises to destroy their future. Will Maggie be forced to
run—again—starting fresh? Or will God answer her prayer and
give her the happily-ever-after she’s started from scratch?

Sofi’s Bridge
The Man Who Killed Durruti
Christine Lindsay
Pedro de Paz
Seattle Debutant Sofi Andersson will do everything in her power
to protect her sister who is suffering from shock over their father’s
death. Charles, the family busy-body, threatens to lock Trina in a
sanatorium—a whitewashed term for an insane asylum—so Sofi
will rescue her little sister, even if it means running away to the
Cascade Mountains with only the new gardener Neil Macpherson
to protect them. But in a cabin high in the Cascades, Sofi begins
to recognize that the handsome immigrant from Ireland harbors
secrets of his own. Can she trust this man whose gentle manner
brings such peace to her traumatized sister and such tumult to her
own emotions? And can Nei, the gardener continue to hide from
Sofi that he is really Dr. Neil Galloway, a man wanted for murder
by the British police? Only an act of faith and love will bridge the
distance that separates lies from truth and safety.
A former policeman, now a Major in the Spanish Republican
Army, is sent to Madrid to investigate the circumstances in which
the legendary anarchist, Buenaventua Durruti, was killed. In his
search for the truth he interviews key witnesses and uncovers a
number of contradictory accounts. Nobody tells the same story in
quite the same way, but as an experienced police officer, he knows
it is not inconceivable that they are all telling the truth. But it is
also possible that some of them are lying, that some are trying to
hide what they know, and more sinisterly, that some may be seeking to sabotage his investigation for darker political ends.Making
imaginative and ingenious use of the detective novel as a literary
device, Pedro de Paz explores various hypotheses and scenarios
that could at least provide us, seventy years on, with believable
explanations about the chain of events leading to the death of a
truly remarkable man. Also included are numerous photographs of
Durruti and his funeral, and a lengthy afterword by Stuart Christie, putting his life, times, and untimely death, into the context of
Spanish Anarchism, the social revolution, and civil war.
Christine Lindsay is an award-winning author who makes her
home in British Columbia, Canada.

Outspoken Authors Series
Without a Glimmer of Remorse
Pino Cacucci and Flavio Costantini
A fascinating dramatized fiction of the life and times of Jules Bonnot, his “gang,” and associates, the individualist anarchists of the
time, including the young Victor Serge. An affectionate, past-paced,
but historically accurate account of the life of the extraordinary
Bonnot—worker, soldier, auto-mechanic, driver to Sir Arthur
Conan Doyle—a man with a long cherished dream of absolute
freedom, and the first bank-robber to use a getaway car; an anarchist who felt it his duty to lash out at bourgeois society, staking
his all. A tragically romantic hero, Jules Bonnot emerges from these
pages as a wounded dreamer who was to deeply affect the lives of
so many other unforgettable characters. Beautifully illustrated by
Flavio Constantini.
Pino Cacucci is an Italian writer and translator. Flavio Costantini
(1926–2013) was an Italian artist. Costantini created portraits of
writers and artists for newspapers, and illustrated several novels.
He created series of paintings exploring historical themes: Anarchy,
the wreck of the Titanic, alchemy and Mozart, the French Revolution and its victims, Yekaterinburg and the murder of Nicholas II
and his family.

Elizabeth Hazen
“Compulsively readable. The writing is keenly observed and the
characters feel as true and vivid as any I’ve found in a long time.
Simply put: this is a really great book.” —Matthew Norman,
author, Domestic Violets
The poems in this debut collection spring from a unique collision
of science and art in one poet’s heart and mind. In these often
elegiac poems, Hazen explores many forms of love — between
children, parents, siblings, friends, and lovers. In powerful poetic
language and structure, loss is explored, and survival becomes another form of understanding, a way of seeing ourselves and others
not as guilty or innocent, good or bad, but as complex, sometimes
thwarted beings who are always striving for more wisdom, more
empathy, more light. Hazen’s language is elegant, her point of view
unflinching, her voice mature and warm. Science in these poems is
both information and consolation, a way of untangling chaos, of
seeing more clearly and cleanly. Hazen is a poet who understands
that we are all searching in various ways to make order of our lives
and loves, and who crafts poems that can aid us in that search.
For Avery Cullins—library archivist, former teenage runaway, and
gay man from a small Southern town—”family” means a livein boyfriend and a surly turtle. But when his father, a renowned
nuclear physicist, commits suicide, Avery’s decade-long estrangement from his mother, now hobbled following a stroke, comes to a
skidding halt. With his boyfriend’s help, Avery takes custody of his
mother and the trio heads cross country in a rented U-Haul, back
to an apartment in Cleveland and an uncertain future. Their journey soon becomes a pilgrimage into the past when Avery begins
sifting through his mother’s mementos. What emerges is a story of
family, love, and loss as his parents made a home, lost a child, and
tested the boundaries of marital love in the 1970s. Meanwhile, in
today’s uncertain social landscape, Avery must confront his own
struggle with a mother who doesn’t recognize him and a lover who
seeks to claim him for his own.

All Things Considered
Daniel M Ford
Legacies of violence and tragedy haunt these thirteen stunning stories from Tara Laskowski, author of Modern Manners for Your Inner Demons. A woman who becomes obsessed with her co-worker’s murderer; an investigative reporter with a nose for scandal
finds his own life suddenly unraveling; eerie sights in a video baby
monitor haunt a new mother. When the unexpected happens, these
bystanders—who are not always innocent—come face to face with
their own choices and fates. Bound together by danger, fear, paranoia, and the bumps we all hear in the night, these potent stories
illuminate the darker side of the human condition. From a vicious
newspaper strike that rocks a small Pennsylvania community to
an unpredictable road trip in the vast desert of the American West,
Bystanders explores the ways in which terror and uncertainty both
consumes and invigorates us—and yet reveals our strengths, hopes,
and passions.

Judyth Vary Baker
Letters to the Cyborgs describes a frightening future about to
land on our doorsteps, based on inventions, science and technology we have today. Each story details the political, social, and
environmental destruction of our world as Artificial Intelligence
takes over the planet. With intelligence, insight and humor, Baker
examines what it means to be human in a world where Cyborgs
and robots rule. Ranging from chilling visions of Armageddon to
haunting stories of the power of human love, with some comic
relief thrown in to make the truth easier to handle, this groundbreaking collection of short stories faces the questions scientists,
politicians and corporations are ignoring: when Artificial Intelligence becomes “self-aware” and is a thousand times more intelligent than any human being, what happens next? Scientists tell
us that this “Singularity” will occur by 2030. “What is human?”
will become the most important question in history as humans
become 51% or more machine.

Truly an artistic experience, the short, concise poems in this
collection are composed of the memory fragments of a girl who
grew up in the shadow of war and persecution. The journey begins
with a small baby covered with flakes of whitewash when a bomb
explodes beside her. Born into an intolerable and lawless world,
this “white baby,” relates the tale of a childhood in which “hide
and seek” is life’s reality and not a game, and the word “mother” is
both a luxury and longing. The book’s subtle and delicate language
reflects a difficult and isolated reality and is accompanied by illustrations which complete the somber, dream-like atmosphere.
Chava Nissimon was born in 1939 in Warsaw, Poland. She escaped
from the ghetto with her mother and grew up “behind the wardrobe” during World War II, and later as a “golah-child” on a kibbutz. Ofra Amit is an illustrator who has won many Israeli awards

A Prescription for the Soul
Where Bodies Fall
Peter Weddle
Sheila Kindellan-Sheehan
It’s July, 1963. A group of American teens—army brats—are living
with their parents on a tiny military outpost in Verona, Italy. They
spend the next six months hanging out in Venice, searching for
answers. Tumultuous events are occurring back home—the civil
rights march on Washington; the church bombing in Birmingham,
Alabama; and the assassination of the President—and they want
to know what it will all mean for them and for their generation.
Then, it’s July, 2007. The teens, now middle-aged Baby Boomers,
are leading the life of 1-percenters on the Gold Coast of Connecticut. They spend the next six months debating how and why they
came to be who they are. Tumultuous events are occurring on Wall
Street; an epidemic of insider trading, the collapse of venerable
banks, and the financial ruin of millions of Americans. Legions of
social scientists have decried the faults of Baby Boomers, and A
Prescription for the Soul doesn’t flinch from depicting them. Its
portrait, however, is more balanced, more compassionate and ultimately more hopeful. It envisions a generation that is not yet done,
that has yet to finish its turn, that still has the capacity to forge a
great legacy.
Teenagers accidentally discover the body of a university student
at the bottom of the abandoned Wellington Tunnel. When the apparent suicide turns out to be a murder, Lieutenant Detective Toni
Damiano, guilt-ridden from her last case, finds herself investigating
a chilling trail of lies and deceit, daring love and betrayal. Taylor
Sanderson is the only daughter of affluent Trevor Sanderson, a
legal partner on the Corruption Commission and a member of the
Montreal “clan of influence.” That discovery will shatter Trevor
Sanderson and Lieutenant Detective Damiano, cutting its way
through both their lives.
Sheila Kindellan-Sheehan is the author of eight mystery novels,
most recently The Red Floor and The Courier Wore Shorts. She
lives in Pointe Claire.

Blondes Are My Trouble
The Informants
Douglas Sanderson
Introduction by J.F. Norris
Bill Haugland
A blindingly blonde woman walks into private detective Mike
Garfin’s downtown Montreal office, complaining that she’s being
followed by a man. That evening, at a luxurious Lakeshore home,
he witnesses another woman being forced into a car. Garfin gives
chase, only to find her dead and disfigured beneath the wheels of a
large truck on Highway 20. At first he sees no connection between
the two– why should he?– but Garfin’s pursuit of the truth shows
they are inextricably linked by basic vice on the highest floors of
the swankiest Sherbrooke Street apartments. This Douglas Sanderson thriller follows Hot Freeze as the second Mike Garfin adventure. First published in 1954 under the title The Darker Traffic, a
Dodd, Mead Red Detective Mystery, it was reissued the following
year as Blondes are My Trouble by Popular Library. This Ricochet
Books edition is the first in sixty years.
J.F. Norris writes essays and reviews on crime, supernatural and
adventure fiction from the late nineteenth to mid-twentieth century. Douglas Sanderson (1920-2002) was a native of Kent, England.
Sanderson turned to writing mystery thrillers when his first novel,
Dark Passions Subdue, met with disappointing sales. Exit in Green,
his first foray into the genre, was followed by twenty-one others,
many written under the noms de plume “Martin Brett” and “Malcolm Douglas”.

into a complex web of drug-smuggling and murder. Turf wars
pit local criminal bikers against each other, even as the American-based Hells Angels threaten to establish an unprecedented
foothold in Canada. Law enforcement agencies in both countries
deal with a deadly alliance between two powerful mafia families.
A multi-million dollar Canada-U.S. drug conspiracy hangs in the
balance and one cop and his street informants appear to stand in
its way. Davis … stands in the middle.
Bill Haugland was news anchor at Montreal’s largest English-language television station for twenty-six years. He is the author of

collection After it Rains, nominated for the 2014 ReLit Awards.

Installations
Mockingbird
David Solway
Derek Webster
Installations, David Solway’s 14th book
of poetry, is haunted with transformation. Few poets possess as commanding
a gift for metaphor or can use it to
masterfully conjure the ever-changing
landscape of the natural world. Like the
jerry-rigged farmer’s contraption that
stands in for “eclectic grandeur and jumbled eloquence,” this collection celebrates
the way ordinary elements can be yoked
to create wholly original insights. Be it
through rhyme or free verse, slang or
lyricism, and roaming a dazzling range of
tones—satirical, philosophical, scabrous,
tender, celebratory—Installations offers
up a world depicted and inhabited in all
its manifestations.
In poetry that strikes a delicate balance
between candour and lament, Mockingbird
tracks the aftershocks of a failed marriage
through a variety of self-portraits. Derek
Webster’s speakers itemize their regrets and
fears while keeping sentimentality in check,
the result is a first book of exceptional
emotional power. Indeed, the distinctive
and nuanced shapes of Webster’s exquisitely controlled lyrics highlight the great
achievement of his debut: a clipped, often
aphoristic line-making stripped down to
cold truths. The struggle isn’t about being
yourself, these poems argue, but about deciding which version of yourself to accept—
and surviving the decision with equanimity.
David Solway is the author of many
award winning books of poetry and
prose including Director’s Cut, his critique of contemporary poetry; Franklin’s
Passage, winner of Le Grand Prix du
Livre de Montréal; and Reaching for
Clear, awarded the A.M. Klein Prize for
Poetry. He lives in Gananoque, Ontario.

Swallow This, Second Edition
The Progressive Approach to Wine
Second edition
Mark Phillips
The iconoclastic host of the PBS show Enjoying Wine with Mark
Phillips, has been turning the wine world on its ear since it first
aired. In his 2009 wave maker, Swallow This, Mark stirred things
up even more to the delight of consumers. Now comes the second
edition, and it’s a doozy. Among its new material are topics such
as how to “fix” wine if you don’t like it; wine selection and pricing
ratings for major retail chains’ additional food and wine pairing
guidelines; how global warming is significantly changing wine
growing regions; and a list of restaurants with the best deals on
wine in the major metros of every state. Mark offers a whole new
approach to wine, which flies in the face of what has been traditionally taught and serves as a practical and empowering alternative. Witty, unique and never boring, Swallow This will change the
way you think about wine.
Mark Phillips is host of Enjoying Wine with Mark Phillips which
airs nationally on PBS and is the most watched wine show of all
time. He has been written about in the Washingtonian, Washington
Post, Washington Times, Marie Claire, The Hill and USA Today.
And when ABC News, Reuters News Service, Forbes, National
Public Radio, FOX TV, NBC, PBS, and the Smithsonian need a
wine expert, they call Mark.

Heirloom Plants
A Complete Compendium of Heritage Vegetables,
Fruits, Herbs & Flowers
Thomas Etty and Lorraine Harrison
It’s nearly impossible for gardeners to resist the allure of heirloom
plants. Their names alone sound inviting—Flanders Purple kale,
Golden Marconi sweet peppers, Moon & Stars watermelons, Turk’s
Turban squash, Scarlet Emperor running beans, and Jefferson
plums—and many growers claim that their taste is unsurpassed. Beyond the classic appeal, however, lies the far more important issue of
biodiversity. Unless these unique seeds are grown and saved, they will
not only be forgotten, but lost forever. Based on the extensive seed
catalogs of Thomas Etty, the popular heirloom seedsman, Heirloom
Plants includes information on almost 500 exciting cultivars to be
grown and harvested, along with detailed profiles and cultivation tips
for each plant. In addition to edibles, the book also has chapters on
antique herbs and flowers, from Cup and Saucer vines to Sweet William carnations to Empress of India nasturtiums. Trowel and book in
hand, let your motto be, “Growing the past, saving the future.”
Thomas Etty dealt in seeds in the nineteenth century and is the
namesake behind the heirloom seed company Thomas Etty Esq.,
created and run by dedicated seedsman and Etty’s great-greatgrandson, Ray Warner. Today the company dispenses seeds and
expertise to home growers keen to keep heirloom varieties alive.
Lorraine Harrison has a master’s degree in garden history and a
sizeable garden to cultivate her collection. She writes for the gardening quarterly Hortus and has authored a number of books on
horticulture, including Latin for Gardeners.

Sacred Kink: The Eightfold Paths of BDSM and Beyond explores the
sacred roots of kink tools, and the ways kink can be used today for
sacred workings. Explore and find practical tools involving negotiation, communication, and aftercare for sacred kink; ritual play
spaces; developing rituals for dominance and submission; and erotic
shapeshifting and possession workings. Whether one is a seasoned
explorer or has never delved into the depths of adventurous sex
and personal truth, this book serves as an invitation to journey on
down the path of sacred kink. A rich source of inspiration for those
exploring both an authentic sexual and spiritual path.
Spirit of Desire features 33 profoundly personal and diverse
stories sharing the revelations, power, connections, and pathways
explored in Sacred Kink. Some of the authors have been on the
road for decades, others for a very short time; some have spoken
about their passions before, while others are only now putting pen
to page. Whether you are a traveler on the road of sexual expression, a spiritual seeker on a quest for enlightenment, or a curious
creature wondering what this is all about, these personal journeys
will take your breath away, leave you hot and bothered, and have
you pondering the nature of love. A collection of personal stories
for practitioners of spiritual kink.

Traversing Gender
Understanding Transgender Realities
Lee Harrington
In the current age of gender identity and transgender awareness,
many questions are coming to light for everyone. Whether brought
about by media and cultural attention or personal journeys,
individuals who have never heard of transgender, transsexual, or
gender variant people can feel lost or confused. Information can be
hard to find, and is often fragmented or biased. Meanwhile, trans
people are getting a chance to dialogue with each other and finally
be heard by the world at large. In Traversing Gender: Understanding Transgender Realities, author Lee Harrington helps make the
intimate discussions of gender available for everyone to understand. Topics include: What the words “trans” “transgender” mean,
differences (and crossovers) between sex, gender, and orientation,
the wide array and types of trans experiences , social networking and emotional support systems for trans people, navigating
medical care, from the common cold to gender-specific procedures,
what “transitioning” looks like, from a variety of different approaches, how legal systems interplay with gender and trans issues,
extra challenges based on gender, race, class, age and disability,
skills and information on being successful a trans ally. Bringing
these personal matters into the light of day, this reader-friendly
resource is written for students, professionals, friends, and family
members, as well as members of the transgender community itself.
Lee Harrington is an internationally known gender and sexuality
author and educator who has been an active part of gender advocacy and identity awareness communities for 20 years.

Introduction by Silvia Federici
Foreword by Loretta J. Ross
Birth Work as Care Work presents a vibrant collection of stories
and insights from the front lines of birth activist communities.
The personal has once more becomes political, and birth workers,
supporters, and doulas now find themselves at the fore of collective
struggles for freedom and dignity. Articulating a politics of care
work in and through the reproductive process, the book brings

and avenues for change. At a moment when agency over our

professional elites, Birth Work as Care Work presents creative new
ways to reimagine the trajectory of our reproductive processes.
Most importantly, the contributors present new ways of thinking
about the entire life cycle, providing a unique and creative entry
point into the essence of all human struggle—the struggle over the
reproduction of life itself.

Sugar Counter for Health
Cataract Surgery
The Smart Person’s Guide to Hidden Sugars
A Guide to Treatment
Elizabeth Roberts
Bret L. Fisher and Paul E. Garland
As the dangers of sugar, especially added sugars, are becoming more
apparent, there has never been a greater need to be able to know
how much sugar we are consuming. There are many types of sugar,
but only two of them, fructose and glucose, are associated with
obesity, diabetes, and other health problems. Sugars can be hidden,
and in this practical handbook Elizabeth Roberts lists the total
sugar content of over 3,000 common foods and; uniquely, identifies the total amount of sugar (as well as the individual amounts of
the differing types of sugar) to allow the reader to judge the health
implications of their diet. The book includes a full guide to reading
food labels and what to look for on a list of ingredients.
Having cataract surgery? Nearly 3 million Americans who have
cataracts removed each year. In fact, it’s the most commonly
performed surgery in the nation. And, the numbers are expected to
increase--by the year 2020, nearly 30 million Americans will have
cataracts. Even though cataract surgery is a common procedure,
you may find yourself feeling anxious about an operation on your
eye. Ophthalmologists Paul E. Garland, M.D. and Bret L. Fisher,
M.D., have performed thousands of cataract surgeries, and they
understand your questions and concerns. They answer questions
such as: How long should you wait to have cataract surgery? What
type of anesthesia is used? How is the cataract actually removed?
Dr. Elizabeth Roberts is a state registered dietician, with a degree
in Human Nutrition and Dietetics and a Masters degree in Health
Care ethics. She currently works as a community dietician.
Bret L. Fisher, M.D., is an ophthalmologist in private practice
at The Eye Center of North Florida, in Panama City, where he
specializes in refractive cataract surgery. Dr. Fisher was the first eye
surgeon in Florida to perform femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery; he’s also skilled in advanced custom LASIK. Paul E.
Garland, M.D., is an ophthalmologist in private practice at The
Eye Center of North Florida, in Panama City. Board-certified in

surgery, performing more than a thousand surgeries annually.

Preston Tucker and His Battle
to Build the Car of Tomorrow
Steve Lehto
Foreword by Jay Leno
“A detailed, entertaining meander through the history of ‘Detroit’s
coolest car.’”
—New York Times on Chrysler’s Turbine Car
In the wake of World War II, the U.S. automobile industry was
fully unprepared to meet the growing demands of the public, for
whom they had not made any cars for years. In stepped Preston
Tucker, a salesman extraordinaire who announced the building of
a revolutionary new car: the Tucker ‘48, the first car in almost a
decade to be built fresh from the ground up. Tucker’s car, which
would include ingenious advances in design and engineering that
other car companies could not match, captured the interest of the
public, and automakers in Detroit took notice. Here, author Steve
Lehto tackles Tucker’s amazing story, relying on a huge trove of
documents that has been used by no other writer to date. It is the
first comprehensive, authoritative account of Tucker’s magnificent
car and his battles with the government. And in this book, Lehto
finally answers the question automobile aficionados have wondered about for decades: exactly how and why the production of
such an innovative car was killed.
Steve Lehto is the author of Chrysler’s Turbine Car, Death’s Door,
Drawn to Injustice, and The Great American Jet Pack, among
others. His articles have been published by the Huffington Post,
Michigan History, and other publications. He lives in Boca Raton,
Florida. Jay Leno was the long-time host of the Tonight Show. His
extensive collection of classic cars is world famous.

The Fall and Rise
of Nuclear Power
in Britain
The Traffic
Power Structure
A History
The modern traffic system is ecologically unsustainable, emotionally stressful, and poses
a physical threat to individuals and communities alike. It is a problem of power. At
its core lies the notion of “automobility,” a
contradictory ideal of free movement closely
linked to a tight web of regulations and
control mechanisms. This is the main thesis
of the manifesto The Traffic Power Structure, penned by the Sweden-based activist
network Planka.nu. This manifesto presents
a critique of the automobile society, analyzes
the connections between traffic, the environment, and class, and outlines a new political
vision. Planka.nu rejects demands to travel
ever-longer distances in order to satisfy our
most basic needs while we lose all sense for
proximity and community. The book has
received several awards in Sweden and has
been hailed by Swedish media as a “manifesto of striking analytical depth, based on
profound knowledge, and a will to agitation
that demands our respect” (Ny Tid).
Simon Taylor
In the 1950s, Britain was a pioneer in
civil nuclear power and there were high
hopes that this could be a source of
cheap electricity and a valuable export
opportunity. In The Fall and Rise of
Nuclear Power in Britain, Simon Taylor
looks at why these hopes were never
realised, and how we have come to see a
new rise in nuclear power in recent years.
Throughout the book, Taylor looks at
energy policy, economics, politics, and
changing environmental priorities. Will
this new nuclear energy turn out to be a
heroic story of UK leadership on a matter
of global importance, or will prove a
hugely costly folly, as with British nuclear
power in the past?
Simon Taylor is a University Lecturer
in Cambridge Judge Business School
and economist. He teaches on financial
markets and institutions, and has done
research on financing nuclear power.

Challenging Words for
Smart People
New Titles
Surviving Journalism
Fireproofing a Career in the Fourth Estate
Bringing Order to the English Language
Warren Watson
Richard Lederer
Journalism is in upheaval. Journalists displaced by career-shattering business changes and the rise of the Internet have resulted in
tens of thousands of jobs lost. Reporters and editors are routinely
laid off and fired. Many have given up. But some have thrived.
Surviving Journalism examines what has happened to embattled
career journalists through profiles of those affected by business
trauma in recent years. It also gives practical survival tips to those
displaced—and to prospective journalists as they enter a career in
the fourth estate. Warren Watson lays out critical survival skills
through 43 years as an award-winning journalist, working at every
level in the craft, from a weekly reporter to a sports editor, to an
executive at larger papers. Contending that survivors in the field
must be flexible, adaptable and willing to zigzag as the digital age
evolves, Watson prepares journalists to “fireproof” their careers,
with an emphasis on learning varied skill sets and how to be entrepreneurial and creative.
Challenging Words for Smart People is not for everyone. But if you
are heels-over-head nuts about language and have a passion for
snatching significance from the mass data swirling around us, you
will share in its pages some sublime adventures in re-creation-al
linguistics. Each chapter in Challenging Words for Smart People states a challenge. In the process of meeting those tests, your
axons, dendrites, ganglia, and synapses will get quite a workout as
you engage in a series of push-ups of the mind and aerobics of the
brain. Throughout his career, Dr. Richard Lederer has epitomized
“learning dressed up to have fun.” His mission is to impose order
on chaos and sprinkle fairy dust on the mundane. Enter this great
banquet hall of words and you will taste the abundant harvest of
our bountiful, multifoliate English language.
Richard Lederer is the author of more than thirty-five books,
including Anguished English, Amazing Words, Crazy English, Get
Thee to a Punnery, and The Gift of Age. He is a former teacher
at St. Paul’s School in Concord, NH, where he taught English and
media for twenty-seven years. He has been named International
Punster of the Year and Toastmasters International’s Golden Gavel

Arts & Eats Series
Rich People Behaving Badly
Dick Kreck
Public respectability does not always translate into tidy private
lives, and our interest in the naughty behavior of the rich and
famous will never be satisfied. Former Denver Post reporter Dick
Kreck takes us back through Colorado’s history to show that the
foibles of people—rich or poor—remain the same. Included are
socialites such as Louise Sneed Hill, who created and ruled over
Denver’s “Sacred 36” circle of society; Jane Tomberlin, who met
and fell in love with a “prince” in an elevator at the Brown Palace
Hotel; Irene Nolan, who cavorted late into the night with her
family priest; and prominent Denver clubman Courtland Dines,
who was wounded during a frolic with two silent-screen stars in
his Hollywood apartment. Rich People Behaving Badly exposes
the scandals, murders, infidelities, financial misdeeds, and just plain
misbehavior from Colorado’s past.
Dick Kreck retired from the Denver Post after thirty-eight years as
an editor and columnist. He previously worked at the San Francisco Examiner and the Los Angeles Times. He is the author of six
other books, including Murder at the Brown Palace: A True Story
of Seduction and Betrayal and Smaldone: The Untold Story of an
American Crime Family. He lives in Denver, Colorado.

of the Four Corners to the blazing flats of the Colorado River, is
equally rich: With more than 550 bird species on the official state
list, Arizona—all of Arizona—offers birders, residents and visitors
alike, an experience virtually unmatched anywhere else in the US.
This new book will guide both novice and experienced birders to
help identify the amazing diversity of bird life in the Sunset State.
Crisp color photographs of birds in nature, authoritative text from
an expert birder, and a handy portable trim size all combine to

common birds.

on subjects from sparrow identification to French hummingbird

unable to get away to their beloved southeast Arizona. Brian E.
