When two Iraqi families—one Jewish and one Muslim—break through a wall in
their adjoining courtyard to accommodate a shared water pipe, two young boys,
from two very different cultures, begin passing notes through the hole. As the
world disintegrates around them, these boys become fast friends and their
families become a microcosm of the brotherhood many Jewish and Muslim families
nurtured through successive wars. Developing into a love story as old and fraught
as Romeo and Juliet, the Jewish boy falls in love with and compromises a beautiful
Marsh Arab maid, whose mother is determined to preserve her daughter’s honor
in a land where the loss of it can be punishable by death. Set during the
tumultuous years surrounding World War II, Sweet Dates In Basra is the
redemptive story of an unlikely friendship and a forbidden love amidst two
converging worlds and a powerful reminder that human solidarity holds the
potential for deliverance.

• You botched your self-tan
• You discover your best friend’s husband in cheating on her and don’t know

Kate Middleton is the girl everyone wants to be. The future queen of England not
only snagged Britain’s hottest bachelor, this “regular” girl is living a perfect
Cinderella fairytale. This is her story.
With her glossy dark hair, classic looks, natural appearance, and cut-glass accent,
Kate Middleton displays all the poise and breeding expected from the wife-to-be
of the heir to the throne. Sophisticated beyond her years, as well as academically
gifted, Kate has charmed William’s louche circle of friends as well as the House of
Windsor.
Yet behind her polished veneer lies the extraordinary tale of an impoverished
working-class family that overcame deprivation and adversity to rise to the upper
echelons of society. Claudia Joseph has spoken to members of Kate’s family and
friends, who have provided an intriguing insight into the extraordinary journey
her family has made from the mining villages of Durham to an apartment in the
royal residence of Clarence House.
Drawing on exclusive interviews and containing previously unpublished
photographs, this is an authoritative account of Kate Middleton’s life—so far.

Tim Graber arrives in Sugarcreek to help his aunt and uncle with spring planting.
At first, Tim doesn’t fit in with his many cousins and their crowded lifestyle. But
when he meets Clara Slabaugh, the local school teacher, he understands why the
Lord brought him to Sugarcreek.
Clara is shy and quiet. Scarred from a fire when she was small, Clara has
resigned herself to living alone and caring for her mother, who tells her that no
man will ever see past her scars, and that Clara needs to keep teaching in order
to make ends meet. Her father passed away years ago, and her mother depends
on her.But the scars mean nothing to Tim. He appreciates her quiet nature and
her wonderful, loving way with children. Yet Tim has a sweetheart back home in
Indiana.
As these two hearts struggle to determine their path, tragedy strikes, and every
other worry seems insignificant in comparison. Though they now face a life they
never imagined, will Tim and Clara have the faith to step out and risk everything
for a chance at true love?

her son, Coty, from Korea. On the return flight, she sat by Maurice Salazar, who
dropped numerous innuendoes on the flight and Tanya was thrilled when their
twelve hour journey was over. But once she arrived back home in Dallas,
Maurice began to stalk her. Even though Tanya insisted he stay out of her life,
he persisted in crossing her path, buying her gifts, and leaving voice mails. After
she filed a restraining order against Maurice, he still watched her from a

combines a unique mix of anecdote, riff, and how-to, and shares her secrets of
survivalist chic. She mixes the passionate with the practical to come up dozens
of ideas for enhancing your lifestyle without killing your bank account:
Decorating: Create exquisite curtains with Chinese lace tablecloths
bought for pennies in Chinatown.
Style: Master the art of wearing thrift-store vintage by figuring out your
best decade: forties for pear shapes versus thirties or sixties for narrow
hips.
Travel: everything from faking resort chic in Capri to making a one star
hotel room feel like home.
Leisure: On a hot summer day create a luxurious in-home bathroom spa
by dressing in a light kimono and cotton slippers, and soaking in a cool tub
with a plate of sliced mango.
Entertaining: Abundant food is more impressive than expensive food—a
mountain of clams steamed in a simple tomato broth with warm baguette
costs little and immediately sets a decadent mood.
Anna’s philosophy runs throughout Savvy Chic: good taste on the cheap is the
backbone of libertine thrift, but more important still is the sense of abundance,
generosity, and fun that come...

Reven’s left wondering how close to home the killings are.
Meanwhile, Reven finds herself witness to crimes of a different nature. Cynthia

Eve has never imagined herself as a stepmother. But when she falls in love with
Ian, he comes with a ready-made family of three children. The ghost of his
glamorous and well-known wife haunts them, even as they try to build a family
of their own.
Clare, a teacher and single mother, is Eve’s best friend. She is the only person
Eve can talk to about how to deal with three hostile children. But despite
Clare’s years of practice with her own teenage daughter, it’s younger sister
Chloe who provides the truly sympathetic ear.
Mel is the high achiever, sent along to Eve’s “support group” by a colleague.
Her new boyfriend has a ten-year-old daughter and she knows that if the
relationship is going anywhere, eventually she is going to have to meet her.
Mandy is the stay-at-home mom, whose new relationship comes with
stepchildren, and she desperately wants to stitch together a new family life for
herself and her kids.

Liberty Lane takes on her strangest case yet. Deranged aristocrat Lord Brinkburn
is nearing death and his eldest son, Stephen, is expected to inherit the title. But
Lady Brinkburn's sudden announcement that Stephen is illegitimate throws the
family into turmoil.
Tensions rise between the two brothers, and they come to blows in public-much
to the amusement of London Society. Liberty is engaged privately to get to the
truth of the matter, but a macabre murder raises the stakes considerably. She
finds her own judgment being undermined by Lady Brinkburn, who is clearly more
than she appears. Liberty is all too aware that time is running out-one of the
brothers may be next, but can she determine which it will be-before she makes a
terrible mistake?

C aro Peacock grew up in a farmhouse that, for most of her childhood, contained half a
dozen brothers, sisters and cousins, twice as many cats and dogs, no central heating and
one bathroom that stopped working every time the spring that supplied its water silted up.
This possiblly bred the habit of curling up in a quiet place with a book, and later, a passion
for travel that led to a rather disrupted education. Somewhere along the line, she acquired
a great interest in Victorian history-which she considers a much misunderstood period-and
particularly the part played in it by independently minded women. Caro rides horses,
climbs, trampolines and spends some time every year studying wild flowers in the Alps.

Tatiana and Alexander continues Paullina Simons’ truly epic tale. The first book in
the trilogy, The Bronze Horseman, introduced the charismatic characters of Tatiana
Metanova, a strong willed, idiosyncratic teenager and Alexander, a young officer
in the Red army. Set against the background of war torn Leningrad, the novel
described their dangerously passionate love affair, while cataloguing the horrors
of Hitler’s invasion of Russia in June 1941.
Tatiana is now 18 years old and pregnant with Alexander’s child. Believing herself
to be a widow she has escaped to America and is working as a nurse on Ellis
Island. Her life is good, her baby son is beautiful, and her new friends
entertaining, but her heart calls out for Alexander. Alexander, meanwhile, has
been arrested by Stalin’s secret police and is awaiting death, accused of being a
spy and a traitor. In a series of flashbacks his childhood is revealed. His father, a
committed communist, removed his family from a comfortable life in America “to
live what we believe” in poverty stricken Russia. Alexander, an American, has
been serving in the Russian Red Army in attempt to protect himself. Wounded,

Justin Sadler knows he's alone now. At least, that's what he keeps telling himself.
And yet, every time he comes home, something's different. Someone's been
there. And no matter how many times he reminds himself that it can't be his wifethat there is simply no way for Rachel to be communicating with him-Justin can't
escape the sense that somebody is there. But he's too skeptical to believe in

A follow-up to the highly successful New Bars & Restaurants, New Bars &
Restaurants 2 takes us on a trip around the world, exploring the newest dining
spaces in countries ranging from France to Australia. What ties all of these
projects together, however, is their original solutions to the venerable problem
of dining design. An imaginative lighting system and the symbolic use of color,
for example, are just two of the many design solutions that uncover universes
of fantasy in a space where the focus is usually placed on the kitchen.
With its detailed design comments and more than 500 full-color photographs,
New Bars & Restaurants will serve as an indispensable resource for the
storeowner and architect alike.

Few understand the devastation cyber weapons can wreak or how the United
States will use them in a crisis. Security expert Richard A. Clarke goes beyond
"geek talk" to succinctly explain how cyber weapons work and how vulnerable
America is to the new world of nearly untraceable cyber criminals and spies.
Clarke reveals how successful foreign cyber espionage has already penetrated
the Pentagon, the control systems for U.S. electric power grids, and the defense
industry. While the U.S. has not yet been attacked in a full-scale cyber war,
pedabytes of information have already been stolen, including advanced research
in aerospace, weapons systems, biotechnology, and engineering.
From the first cyber crisis meeting in the White House to the boardrooms of Silicon
Valley and the tunnels under Manhattan, Clarke tells the history of the first
decade of this new age and the unlikely people and places at the center of this
crisis. Based on interviews and first person accounts, this sobering story of
technology, government, and military strategy involving criminals, spies, soldiers,
and hackers begins the much needed public policy debate about what America's
doctrine and strategy should be, not just for waging, but for...

Glass factory in Huntington, WV. He courts Rachel, the boss's daughter, a

Upon his return from service in the war and back at his old job, Ledford starts a

man, unconnected from the present and haunted by the past until he meets his
cousins the Bonecutter brothers. Their land calls to Ledford, and it is there, with

Former baseball slugger Darryl Strawberry, whose achievements as a player were
often overshadowed by his struggles off the field, recounts the highs, the lows,
and the lessons of hope and survival he learned along the way.
Strawberry recalls how he skyrocketed from a working-class neighborhood in Los
Angeles to instant stardom with the New York Mets, where he would be named
the National League Rookie of the Year in 1983 and win the World Series in 1986.
Throughout the ’80s and ’90s, however, Strawberry faced many personal
challenges, including drug use, tax evasion, solicitation, and allegations of
domestic violence. His major league career was interrupted by suspensions, visits
to rehab, and treatment for colon cancer.
But in 2006, Strawberry’s life changed course dramatically. With his wife, Tracy,
he devoted himself to his church and to his work with children and adults affected
by autism and other developmental disorders. For the first time, in his own words,
Strawberry delivers his inspirational narrative—the extraordinary story of his life.

circumscribed by disability and its attendant complications: rage and despair, as
well as a hard-earned acceptance and biting sense of humor. In incisive and
lyrical prose, he captures the seesaw of setbacks and successes that define his
life: His arms and hands completely useless, Paul initially learns to drive a “sip

Alone in an elevator with a stranger, he’s mugged, helpless to fight back. One
caretaker packs Paul’s fridge with the Pepsi his wife forbids at home and declares
he can cure Paul’s injured ankle by setting him on fire. And when desire leads to a
long-awaited intimacy, it is an experience more complex and bittersweet than he

savings in a 10-week cooking class. Upon completion, armed with no professional
experience and the barest of basic skills, he walked into the renowned gourmet
shop Dean & DeLuca and asked for a job. The next day he was chopping 40
pounds of onions in the prep-kitchen basement. The journey of a top chef had

DeLucie worked his way up the bumpy NYC food chain, eventually finding his way
to The Waverly Inn, which he opened with several partners, including publishing
magnate Graydon Carter. Marrying his mastery of simple but unique flavors with
Carter’s A+ list of glitterati, DeLucie created downtown’s hottest eatery and

the roller-coaster ride of his personal life. Woven into the gritty tale are the

A typical Polish-Jewish teenager from a small town, Clara Kramer was marked for
certain death when the Germans invaded her country. Miraculously though,
providence intervened, providing the 15-year-old and her family with a pair of
unlikely guardian angels: the Becks, a Volksdeutsche (ethnically German) couple.
Mrs. Beck worked as the Kramer family’s housekeeper. Mr. Beck was known to be
an alcoholic, a womanizer, and a vocal anti-Semite. But on learning that Jewish
families were being led into the woods and murdered, he risked his own life to
shelter the Kramers and two other Jewish families.
Eighteen people in all secretly lived in a bunker dug out of the Becks’ basement.
Clara kept a diary during the 20 harrowing months she spent in hiding, recording
the details of this unpredictable life—from the house’s catching fire to Mr. Beck’s
affair with Clara’s neighbor; from the nightly SS drinking sessions in the room
above to the small pleasure of a shared Christmas carp.
Against all odds, Clara lived to tell her story. Based on her diary—now part of the

Author Bio
Born Stephen Victor Tallarico on March 26, 1948, in Yonkers, New York, Steven Tyler is
the lead singer of Aerosmith and considered one of rock’s greatest showmen.
After moving to Boston in the late 1960s, Tyler met guitarist Joe Perry, bassist Tom
Hamilton, guitarist Ray Tabano (later replaced by Brad Whitford) and drummer Joey
Kramer to form Aerosmith. The band played its first gig together in 1970, and by
1975, emerged as one of the world's leading rock groups. But by the end of the decade,
Perry and Whitford left the group while Tyler became heavily involved with drugs. Though
Tyler kept the band alive by adding new members, his personal problems affected his
creative abilities, and Aerosmith devolved into a shadow of its former self. By the mid1980s, Tyler went through rehabilitation. Regrouping with Perry and the other original
members of Aerosmith, they made a remarkable comeback and, today, draw droves of
fans to their live concerts.
Recently, the famed performer has been plagued by health problems. He successfully
underwent throat surgery in 2006, and announced that he had been treated for Hepatitis
C , a liver disease. Tyler is the father of four children, Liv, an acclaimed actress, Mia, a
fashion model, and Chelsea and Taj Monroe.

A lot has changed since Kitchen Confidential. For the subculture of chefs and
cooks, for the restaurant business as a whole—and for Anthony Bourdain. Medium
Raw explores those changes, taking the reader back and forth—from the author’s
bad old days—to the present. Tracking his own strange and unexpected voyage
from journeyman cook to globe travelling professional eater and drinker, Bourdain
compares and contrasts what he’s seen and what he’s seeing, pausing along the
way for a series of confessions, rants, investigations, and interrogations of some
of the more controversial figures in food. Always returning to the question: “Why
cook? “ Or the harder to answer: “Why cook well?”
Beginning with a secret and highly illegal after-hours gathering of powerful chefs
he compares to a Mafia summit, the story follows the twists and eddies through
subjects ranging from:
• “The Friends of David Chang” an incredibly undiplomatic discussion with (and
peek into the mind of) the hottest, most influential chef in America.
• “Don’t Ask Alice”: Alice Waters. Good . . . or Evil?

Being Wrong
Adventures in the Margin of Error

Following the success of The Wisdom of Crowds and Predictably Irrational comes a

To err is human. So why do we despise being wrong? As Kathryn Schulz argues in
this fascinating reconsideration of error, we do so because we are wrong, first
and foremost, about what it means to be wrong. For centuries, we have regarded
error as a sign of ignorance, idiocy, or sin. But in fact, Schulz contends, our
capacity to err is a crucial component of human intelligence. It is inextricable from
some of our best and most honorable qualities, including empathy, creativity,
conviction, and optimism. Perhaps most important, making mistakes is a vital part
of how we learn and change.
In this thoughtful, groundbreaking book, Schulz gives us both an intellectual
history of error from the classical era to our own day, and new insight into the
cognitive origins and emotional experience of being wrong. Drawing on Arctic
misadventures and bizarre neurological ailments, failed prophecies and broken
hearts, Alan Greenspan and Groucho Marx, Being Wrong recasts our mistakes as
an inevitable, invaluable, and sometimes surprisingly pleasurable part of life. It
demonstrates how coming to terms with error can transform our worldviews, our
relationships, and, most...

Anne Rosenbaum leads a life of quiet privilege, the wife of Hollywood executive
Howard Rosenbaum and mother of their 17-year-old son, Sam. Years ago Anne
and Howard met studying literature at Columbia-she, the daughter of a British
diplomat in London, he the son of Orthodox Jews in Brooklyn. While she attends
exclusive dinners and glamorous movie premieres on the arm of her powerful
husband, she prefers the private world of her books.
When one of Howard's friends, the head of a studio, asks Anne to make a
reading list, she casually agrees. Though "no one reads in Hollywood," to her
surprise they begin calling: screenwriters, producers, agents, directors. Soon
Anne is leading an exclusive book club for the industry elite. Emerging gradually
from her seclusion, she guides her readers into the ideas and beauty of Donne,
Yeats, Auden, and Mamet, with her brilliant and increasingly bold opinions. But
when a crisis of identity unexpectedly strikes Howard, Anne sets out to save
what she values above all else: her husband's love.

The dream of eternal youth is as old as mankind. Today, a motley array of
scientists, researchers, and entrepreneurs believe that human immortality is not
only possible, but attainable in our own time. Is there genius or folly in the
dreams of this charismatic but eccentric group of thinkers?
Pulitzer Prize-winner Jonathan Weiner, a natural storyteller and an intrepid
reporter with a gift for making cutting-edge science understandable, takes the
reader on a whirlwind intellectual quest to find out. From Berkeley to the Bronx,
from Cambridge University to Dante’s Tomb in Ravenna, Weiner meets the leading

coastal village in Turkey where she and her husband honeymooned 24 years ago.
She hopes to immerse herself in the warm sand and sea, and in memories of a
better time in her life. But her plans are quickly complicated. Her Turkish landlord
and his bold and intriguing wife have a curious marital agreement and are
constant visitors to the home. And rather than being comforted by her memories,
they begin to trouble her. Overwhelmed by her past and her environment, Yvonne
clings to her newfound friendship with Ahmet, a young Turkish boy who sells
shells at the local beach. With the boy as her guide, Yvonne gains new insight
into her own grown children and begins to enjoy the shimmering sea and the
relaxed pace of the Turkish coast. But a terrible accident throws her life into

Woodstock Music and Art Fair, welcoming a crowd of several hundred thousand to
the green fields of Max Yasgur’s farm. Havens was the first act—the legendary
festival, years in the making, was finally beginning. Nothing would be the same

But the story of the legendary festival begins with Michael Lang, a kid out of
Bensonhurst, Brooklyn, who liked to smoke a joint and listen to jazz and who
eventually found his way to Florida, where he opened a head shop and produced
his first festival—Miami Pop, featuring Jimi Hendrix, Frank Zappa, and others. In

festival where folks could come and stay for a few days amid the rural beauty of
upstate New York. The idea crystallized when Lang talked it over with Artie

When Finn, a former British spy, is poisoned by a Russian assassin, his ex-boss
Adrian, chief of MI6, wants vengeance. He also wants answers-information that
only Finn's widow, Anna, knows. But the former KGB colonel who betrayed her
country for love vanished with their child shortly after Finn's death.
Adrian isn't the only one eager to find Anna. Finn accessed intelligence so
sensitive that the KGB are willing to kill again to protect it-a chase that has
piqued the interest of the major intelligence agencies, be they governmentsponsored or private, around the world. Though Medvedev has assumed the
presidency, everyone knows that Putin continues to pull all the strings. Just what
is Russia concealing beneath its immense new oil wealth and veil of political
cordiality?
Anna holds the key to unlocking the secrets of her motherland. Taken to America
for protection and information, the former Russian agent faces her greatest test:
to ensure her freedom and protect her child, she must uncover the full truth
before anyone else-even as friend and foe both set her in their sights.

When I was seventeen and in full obedience to my heart's most urgent commands, I
stepped far from the pathway of normal life and in a moment's time ruined everything
I loved-I loved so deeply, and when the love was interrupted, when the incorporeal
body of love shrank back in terror and my own body was locked away, it was hard for
others to believe that a life so new could suffer so irrevocably."
So begins Scott Spencer's classic tale of passion and obsession-the riveting,
compulsively readable, and ferociously sexual story of David Axelrod and his
overwhelming love for Jade Butterfield.
David and Jade's lives are consumed with each other; their affinity, their desire,
their sexuality taking them into a dizzying world darker and more complex than
they understand. When Jade's father banishes him from the house, David
fantasizes a way back to Jade-a plan with devastating consequences. What
ultimately unfolds is a nightmare, a tragic pursuit of the one thing that remains
most real to David: his endless love for Jade and her family.

The most common things can reveal unsuspected passions, even an old, threadbare
overcoat.
Proust's Overcoat unravels an unusual true story of passion and possession. The
head of a perfume company in France, Jacques Guérin was an avid reader, a
well-known bibliophile and a collector. And more than any other artist or author
he collected, Guérin deeply identified with Marcel Proust. When, by chance,
illness brought him under the care of the great writer's brother, Dr. Robert
Proust, Guérin stumbled into a tense and tangled relationship with the late
novelist's family.
Shamed by Marcel's extravagant writings, embarrassed by his homosexuality,
and offended by his disregard for bourgeois respectability, his survivors willfully
began to destroy their inherited mountain of notebooks, letters, and
manuscripts. Guérin, consumed by envy and desire, ingratiated himself with
Marcel's heirs in the attempt to safeguard these precious objects both for
himself and for posterity. Throughout the rest of his long life, Guérin continued to
placate Proust's relations with cash and kindness in exchange for Marcel's
remaining manuscripts, furniture, and personal effects. After years marked by
relentless determination, Guérin at last was able to save...

Polish poet and essayist Zbigniew Herbert easily stands beside Nobel Prize
laureates Milosz and Szymborska as part of a remarkable literary tradition. Very
much an Eastern European writer, his work is of interest beyond his particular
region and his particular time. Herbert’s fascination with other subjects—from
painting to all things Dutch—has served his poetry well, and has made for
interesting subjects in his essays and short prose pieces.
The first collected English edition of his prose work, this outstanding volume
consists of four books—Labryinth on the Sea, Still Life with a Bridle, King of the Ants,
and Barbarian in the Garden. Brilliant and erudite, dazzling and witty, these essays
survey the geography of humanity, its achievements and its foibles. From
Western civilization’s past, as witnessed through the Greek and Roman
landscape, to musings on the artistic that celebrate the author’s discriminating
eye, poetic sensibility, and gift for irony, humor, and the absurd; from a sage
retelling of myths and tales that become 20th-century philosophical parables of
human behavior to thoughts on art, culture, and history inspired by journeys in
France, Italy, and the Netherlands, Collected Prose is a rich compendium that
celebrates the mastery...

Drawing on more than 500 interviews with friends and family, as well as
teammates and opponents from every level of baseball, New York Times
bestselling author Jane Leavy delivers the definitive account of one of the biggest
talents and most tragic figures ever to play the game.
Meticulously reported and elegantly written, The Last Boy weaves together the
author’s own memories of Mantle with stories and reminiscences from on and off
the field of a man who led the Yankees to seven world championships, was voted
the American League’s Most Valuable Player three times, won the Triple Crown in
1956, and duelled teammate Roger Maris in a thrilling 1961 chase for the single
season home-run record—all while battling crippling injuries and a lifelong drinking
problem.
As she did so indelibly in her acclaimed biography of Sandy Koufax, Leavy goes
beyond the myth and the hyperbole to to reveal the man behind “The Mick” and
his hold on a generation of adoring fans.

our dating lives, our workplace experiences, and our temptation to cheat in any and all
areas
The 2008 economic crisis taught us that irrationality is an influential player in
financial markets. But it is often the case that irrationality also makes it way into
our daily lives and decisionmaking—in slightly different and vastly more subtle
ways. In this enthralling follow-up to his New York Times bestseller Predictably
Irrational, Dan Ariely shows how irrationality is an inherent part of the way we
function and think, and how it affects our behavior in all areas of our lives, from
our romantic relationships to our experiences in the workplace to our
temptations to cheat.
Blending everyday experience with groundbreaking analysis and new research
into our how we actually make decisions, Ariely explains how expectations,
emotions, social norms, and other invisible, seemingly illogical forces skew our
reasoning abilities. Using data from original experiments, he draws invaluable
conclusions about how—and why—we behave the way we do, and reflects on
ways we can make ourselves and our society better. Living Irrationally explores
the truth about:
• What we think will make us happy and what really makes us happy;
• How we learn to love the ones we are with;
• Why online dating...

The revolutionary achievement of Dr. Peter Roget was his development of a

cannot find something in a reference book, it is often because of the restriction
of searching alphabetically by "known" headwords. Dr. Roget’s thesaurus
reversed the access to allow the user to find a word from another word, a
concept, or an idea. In 1852, when Roget published the first book ever to realize
this concept with thoroughness and precision, he called it a “thesaurus” (from
the Greek and Latin, meaning “treasury” or “storehouse”).
This ultimate reference tool—the bestselling thesaurus ever in all its

Since World War II, the growth formula for business has been to increase
revenues annually, consistent with an expanding economy. But with the recent
financial collapse, the once profitable model they relied on— Supply Chain
Management—isn’t enough. Today, companies are struggling to find a new way
of competing and winning in a world of contracting demand.
Rick Kash and David Calhoun have the answer: a revolutionary demand-driven
model that has already proven successful for some of the world’s biggest
companies, including Hershey, Best Buy, Anheuser-Busch, Wells Fargo, Allstate,
Wal-Mart, and Coke. At the heart of this powerful new business model is a
vision of a new kind of company, one that is driven not by chasing lowest cost
supply, but by demand: knowing how to precisely identify customers, target
those that offer the highest profits, and then build a demand to capture them.
The Demand model is not an improvised or trendy response to the recent global
economic collapse. Nearly a decade in the making, it is a farsighted vision
whose time has come, one that can help businesses run faster, cheaper, and
deliver higher...

Scotland Yard Detective Inspector Thomas Lynley is on compassionate leave after
the murder of his wife. But when the body of a woman is found in an isolated
London cemetery, he is prevailed upon to help the new temporary department
head tackle the case. Lynley's former team at the Yard doesn't trust the cunning
yet vulnerable new chief who may not be quite up to the job.
The murder trail leads to the New Forest, a beautiful and strange place. There,
Lynley and his former partner, Barbara Havers, find that the roots of the crime
trace to a long-ago act of violence that has poisoned subsequent generations.
And though they have seen the darkest side of humanity over the course of their
professional collaboration, the seasoned coppers are stunned when the
investigation leads them to an outcome that is both tragic and shocking.
A multi-layered jigsaw puzzle of a story skillfully structured to keep readers
guessing until the very end, This Body of Death is a magnificent achievement from
a writer at the peak of her powers.

the turn of the 19th century, Isabel Allende’s latest novel introduces yet another
unforgettable woman—a slave and concubine determined to claim her own destiny
against impossible odds
...
Born a slave on the island of Saint-Domingue, Zarité-known as Tété-is the
daughter of an African mother she never knew and one of the white sailors who
brought her into bondage. Though her childhood is one of brutality and fear,
Tété finds solace in the traditional rhythms of African drums and the voodoo
loas she discovers through her fellow slaves.
When 20-year-old Toulouse Valmorain arrives on the island in 1770, it's with
powdered wigs in his trunks and dreams of financial success in his mind. But
running his father's plantation, Saint Lazare, is neither glamorous nor easy.
Although Valmorain purchases young Tété for his cruel bride, it is he who will
become dependent on the services of his teenaged slave.
Against the merciless backdrop of sugar cane fields, the lives of Tété and
Valmorain grow ever more intertwined. When the bloody revolution of Toussaint
Louverture arrives at the gates of Saint Lazare, they flee the brutal conditions
of the French colony that will become Haiti for the raucous, free-wheeling
enterprise of New Orleans. There, Tété finally forges a new life, but her
connection to Valmorain is deeper...

Ever since he bought the New York Yankees in 1973, George Steinbrenner’s
domineering personality and ruthless tactics have made him the most
successful—and most hated—man in baseball. Steinbrenner revolutionized the
business and culture of the sport, creating the free-agent era with his gaudy
signing of Catfish Hunter. He displayed a flair for showmanship worthy of New
York when he wooed Reggie Jackson with dinner at ‘21’ and the promise of a
new Rolls Royce. And in spite of his manic management style and free-spending,
Steinbrenner’s Yankees have won more World Series and made more money
than any other team in baseball history.
Along for the ride was Bill Madden, who has covered the Yankees and baseball
for the New York Daily News for more than 30 years. When Steinbrenner
wanted to fire manager Billy Martin and hire Yogi Berra in 1985, he called
Madden—and acted on his advice two months later. When Steinbrenner made
his return from suspension in 1993, Madden was the only reporter to
accompany him from the Regency Hotel in Manhattan to Yankee Stadium. When
Steinbrenner, his health in decline, decided to do his final one-on-one interview,
he selected Madden....

Between 1800 and 1850, the United States rose from a tiny, newborn nation
struggling for survival on the Atlantic seaboard to a near-empire spanning a
continent. It was a dramatic time in which the “dream of our founders” spread in
ways that few people of the Revolutionary Generation could have possibly
imagined. And it was an era that ultimately led to the great, tragic conflagration
that nearly tore the nation asunder, the Civil War.
Kenneth C. Davis offers a fresh and illuminating look at this tumultuous period
and the characters and turning points that helped shape the direction of the
expanding American nation. In six exciting narratives he explores the complex
“hidden history” of America that goes beyond the accepted mythology of rugged
individuals setting out for new territory:
• Burr’s Trial—The 1807 treason trial of Aaron Burr, a clash of ego and ambition
on a national stage
• Weatherford’s War—The 1813 Fort Mims attack, in which a group
ofCreek Indians, led by William Weatherford, unleashed the deadliest massacre
in frontier history

Nathan, to devote himself to his fiction. And there are two small children who
need their mother’s attention as well. But Sarah is happy and she believes
Nathan is too, until she discovers that his new novel, Infidelity, is based in fact.
Suddenly Sarah’s world is turned upside down. Adding to her confusion, Nathan
abdicates responsibility for the fate of their relationship and his novel’s
publication—a financial lifesaver they have been depending upon—leaving both in
Sarah’s hands. Reeling from the betrayal, she is plagued by dark questions. How

Like the Great Depression and the Long Depression before it, experts have
viewed prolonged economic downturns as crises. In The Great Reset, bestselling
author Richard Florida argues that we should instead see the recent recession as
an opportunity to create entirely new ways of working and living-and new
economic practices that are more sustainable than current systems.
Studying successful examples from the past, Florida surmises that for a reset to
work, it must move beyond the limited realm of companies, business models,
innovations, even public policies. It must be a rethinking of our very way of life in
which we recreate and redefine the geography of capitalism. Combining academic
research, real life vignettes, and historical examples, Florida identifies the four
major pillars of the reset, explaining how each will lead to transformation,
opportunity, and new prosperity, including: flexible housing; new and faster
public transportation; more affordable consumption bundles such as food and
energy; and new jobs, industries, and sources of innovation.
Going beyond economics and social geography, The Great Reset provides a new
framework for understanding the roots of new growth, details the essential

In 1945, Willie McGee, a young African-American man from Laurel, MI, was
sentenced to death for allegedly raping Willette Hawkins, a white housewife. At
first, McGee’s case was barely noticed, covered only in hostile Mississippi
newspapers and far-left publications like The Daily Worker. Bella Abzug, a young
New York labor lawyer, was hired by the Civil Rights Congress—an aggressive
arm of the Communist Party in the U.S.—to oversee McGee’s defense, and
together with William Patterson, the son of a slave and a devout believer in
Marxist ideology, she and a group of white MIssissippi lawyers risked their lives
to plead McGee’s case. After years of court battles, McGee’s supporters flooded
President Harry S. Truman and the U. S. Supreme Court with clemency pleas, and
famous Americans—including William Faulkner, Albert Einstein, Jessica Mitford,
Paul Robeson, Norman Mailer, and Josephine Baker—spoke out on McGee’s
behalf.
Five years later, “Free Willie McGee” had become a rallying cry among civil-rights
activists, progressives, leftists, and Communist Party members, who had
succeeded in convincing millions of people, worldwide, that McGee had been
framed, and that the real story involved a consensual love affair between him
and Mrs. Hawkins—one that she’d instigated and...

With their 28th birthdays looming, Jennifer Baggett, Holly C. Corbett, and

mortgages, and marriages . . . but all share a similar fear: Is this what they
want, or what they think they should want? Feeling in serious need of
perspective, they decide to leave it all behind, quit their jobs, and begin an epic
search for meaning and enlightenment. Traveling 60,000 miles around the
world, from the mountains and jungles of South America to the beaches of
Australia, passing through Kenya, India, Southeast Asia, and New Zealand
along the way, the trio will not only find themselves, but one another.
Ultimately, theirs is a true lifelong sisterhood—forged by exotic illnesses,
cockroach-infested trains, Maasai tribal initiation ceremonies, long distance
break-ups, whirlwind romances, and everything in the world in between.
Like Eat, Pray, Love,this exciting and inspiring memoir will speak to anyone who

Faced with the devastating loss of her mother to cancer at 60, Wall Street
Journal reporter Katherine Rosman had only questions. Her mother's denial of
her impending mortality prevented Rosman from broaching them while she was
still alive; as a result, Rosman found herself without answers that would have
provided peace and comfort in her mother's absence. To find her own solace,
Rosman opened her reporter's notebook and spent a year exploring her
mother's life and her passions.
Along the way, Rosman discovered another side to her mother-a woman whose
life was intricately connected to a host of characters her daughter hardly knew.
Embarking on a cross-country odyssey that would take her into the heart of
some quirky, colorful communities, Rosman interviewed friends from her
mother's favorite pursuits: a golf caddy, a Pilates instructor, an eBay friend who
also collected vintage glass. As she learned of the positive influence her mother
had on these strangers, Rosman came to know her in a way she never
imagined she could; an intimacy that ultimately led her to a new life-for her
mother and for herself.

her life and reflects on her winding journey to finding her true calling as an
artist. From her days as an amateur union organizer in Texas to her spiral into
paralyzing depression in Mexico; her soul-shrinking, all-for-the-benefits stint as
an administrative assistant at a fancy university in Cambridge to her flirtation
with rabbinical school, Phoebe illuminates the bumpy road to vocational and
personal contentment and the truly good eggs—an unforgettably nutty mother,
a devoted husband, a team of therapists, hairdressers and landladies and a
sidekick housecat—creating an expanding definition of what really makes a

Knights Templar, serving as Master of the organization’s Gaza fortress. Among the
last bastion of God’s holy warriors determined to save Jerusalem from the
Muslims, Arn has cultivated a shrewd understanding of his enemy. Known as AlGhouti among the Saracens—Saladin to his Muslim followers—he is feared as a
man of compassion, strength, and faith.
Yet neither time nor distance can lessen the pain of separation from his beloved
Cecilia. Confined to a cloister in western Götaland, his betrothed is a pawn in a
war between clans vyying for control of the crown. Yearning for Arn and their
newborn son, who is being raised by relatives, she must also endure the cruelties

scholarship in assembling the text is formidable.”—Edmund Morris
Theodore Roosevelt’s ideas about the nation’s past and his own times can be
found sprinkled throughout his voluminous writings, but these “pearls of
thought” (as one of his book reviewers described them in 1888) have never
before been pulled together in one volume. Now, through the nimble editing of
Daniel Ruddy, Theodore Roosevelt’s History of the United States provides readers
with Roosevelt’s unique view of American history from the Revolution to the
early twentieth century.
An astute historical observer, Roosevelt was a hanging judge who did not
hesitate to render harsh verdicts about leaders and events from America’s past.
His razor-sharp opinions cut to the core, capturing the essence of obscure and
prominent figures alike: Andrew Jackson was “not more than half civilized;”
John Tyler “a politician of monumental littleness;” and William McKinley had “no
more backbone than a chocolate éclair.” Roosevelt had no hesitation about
criticizing his contemporaries, either, especially Woodrow Wilson, who he
believed was “rotten through and through.” What emerges from these pages
is, of course, as revealing about Roosevelt as it is about the Unites States; it’s
a wonderful new angle on both American history and on one of the country’s
most energetic, brilliant and entertaining men.

After graduating from college in 1974, Mark Edmundson leaves his small
Vermont campus with no plans for the future, though he knows it involves rock
& roll and America's high court of mischief and ambition-New York City. Under
the wing of a carousing, hulking, Marx-quoting friend, Edmundson moves into a
grungy uptown apartment and embarks on a career lugging amps in a New
Jersey arena for rock's biggest acts: The Grateful Dead, The Allman Brothers,
Eric Clapton, Alice Cooper and Pink Floyd.
But, as his first year after college wears on, Edmundson finds himself
increasingly at odds with life in his adopted city, and drifts through a regimen of
late-night cab driving and Marxist indoctrination that leaves him cold. In search
of an elusive "it," Edmundson drops out of New York and all but admits defeat,
eventually accepting a position teaching English at a progressive country day
school in Vermont, perhaps the last one still alive. It's here that Edmundson
begins to grasp, with the help of a probing headmaster and the dwindling,
narcotized student body, the inklings of a valuable lesson. It's here, rather

The workplace of the future is being shaped today by Web 2.0—a collection of
breakthrough social media technologies—and the Millennial Generation, born after
1980. The entrance of these hyper-connected workers will put increased pressure
on employers to overhaul their approach to talent management. The 2020
Workplace offers a practical game plan companies can use to transform their
business; achieve compelling business results, such as increased innovation,
improved customer connectedness, and engaged employees; and compete more
effectively in the global marketplace.
Based on key findings from two surveys of global professionals, as well as case
studies from organizations like Deloitte, Cisco, Bell Canada, Jet Blue, Nokia, and
NASA, this book shows how the same social technologies that are used outside
the company in marketing to connect with customers can be adapted for use
inside the company to connect with employees. Jeanne C. Meister and Karie

YouTube new-hire orientation contest, use of Twitter for sourcing job candidates,
and a video game for new hires. In addition, the authors offer 20 predictions for

Atticus Finch’s immortal words to his children as he defends the real mockingbird
of Harper Lee’s enduring novel—a black man charged with the rape of a white
girl—have become a part of our literary lexicon. Through the young eyes of Scout
and Jem Finch, Harper Lee explores with rich humor and unswerving honesty the
irrationality of adult attitudes toward race and class in the Deep South of the
1930s. The conscience of a town steeped in prejudice, violence, and hypocrisy is
pricked by the stamina and quiet heroism of one man’s struggle for justice—but
the weight of history will only tolerate so much.
One of the most beloved books of all time, voted by librarians nationwide as the
best novel of the 20th century, To Kill a Mockingbird is a true classic and a
touchstone of American culture.

He was a tough-guy Welshman softened by the affections of a breathtakingly
beautiful woman; she was a modern-day Cleopatra madly in love with her own
Marc Antony. For a quarter of a century, Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton were
the crème de la crème of Hollywood royalty. Their tempestuous, on-again offagain romance, which began on the set of the colossal flop Cleopatra, made
headlines worldwide.
In this addictively readable, first dual biography of these legendary personalities,
veteran reporter Sam Kashner and noted biographer Nancy Schoenberger
demonstrate how Taylor and Burton’s two marriages to each other represented
much more than outlandish romance. Together, Elizabeth and Richard were a
fascinating embodiment of the mores and transgressions of American culture, and
even luminaries like Jacqueline Kennedy looked to them as a barometer of the
times. The enduring glamour, grandeur, drama, and bravado embodied by this
legendary duo in many ways gave rise to the rabid gossip and wide-eyed
adoration that are the staples of today’s tabloid media.
Kashner and Schoenberger draw upon brand-new research and

and Taylor’s extensive personal correspondence—to capture a time when the

In The Icarus Syndrome, Peter Beinart tells a tale as old as the Greeks—a story
about the seductions of success. In dazzling color, he portrays three
extraordinary generations:
The Progressives who took America into World War I, led by Woodrow
Wilson, the lonely preacher's son who for a moment became the closest
thing to a political messiah the world has ever seen
The Camelot intellectuals who led America into Vietnam—men like General
Maxwell Taylor, who quoted Thucydides in the original Greek, and Lyndon
Johnson, who awoke screaming at the terror of being thought weak.
Finally, George W. Bush and the post-cold war conservatives, who believed
they could bludgeon the Middle East and liberate it at the same time.
In each case, like Icarus, these leaders crafted "wings"—a set of ideas about the
world. They flapped carefully at first, but as they flew higher they gradually lost
their inhibitions until, giddy with success, they flew into the sun.
And in each case, new leaders and thinkers found wisdom in pain. They reconciled
American optimism—our belief that anything is possible—with the realities of a
world that will never fully bend to our will, which is what Barack Obama and a new
generation of Americans must do today....

For most, the Great Crash of 2008 has meant troubling times. Not so for those
in the flourishing poverty industry, for whom shrinking wages, pink slips, and
other economic woes spell an opportunity to expand and grow. Over the years,
any number of mercenary entrepreneurs have taken advantage of an era of
deregulation to devise high priced products to sell to the credit-hungry ranks of
the working poor, from the instant tax refund to the payday loan. In the
process they've created an industry larger than the casino business and proven
that even the country's pawnbrokers and check cashers, if they dream big
enough, can grow very, very rich off those with thin wallets. Looking back
across three decades, Gary Rivlin uncovers how the poverty industry actually
invented the predatory subprime loan in the 1980s-eventually inspiring the likes
of Countrywide and Wells Fargo to repurpose these toxic products for the
country's middle class. As Rivlin's tale reveals, these large chains are not only
making fat profits and contributing to our current financial crisis-they are at the

From 1869 to 1902, William Howe and Abraham Hummel were New York’s most
famous lawyers, displaying a panache and a legal flair that made them the
favored advocates for villains of all kinds. Of the pair, Howe had the more selfconsciously outrageous personality. Violent death was his specialty; he
represented an estimated 650 defendants charged with murder or manslaughter,
and often relied on raw emotion to sway juries. By the 1880s, no account of a
trial featuring Howe failed to mention his girth (which kept expanding) and
flamboyant dress, including technicolored waistcoats and dollops of precious
stones. Hummel, by contrast, was a tiny man who dressed only in black. But as a
bon vivant, a Broadway first-nighter and an accomplished blackmailer, he was
scarcely less colorful.
At the height of their fame, Howe & Hummel got almost all the best murders and
most outrageous cases. They defended everyone from Carlyle Harris, the
handsome medical student who killed his child bride, to Irish gangsters to a catkilling philanthropist to a whole generation of bank robbers. And many of the
most famous characters of the Gilded Age, including Theodore Roosevelt, comic
actress...

She’s dated President Obama’s body guy Reggie Love (a set-up courtesy of
Maureen Dowd), lost a beloved friend, was raised by a lesbian mother, and
lives in a world that now knows and loves Michelle Obama as much as she
does. In this sassy, sexy, tell-it-like-it-is memoir, Helena Andrews takes readers
on a tour through her life, from growing up as the only black student at her
elementary school to educating some of her New York Times colleagues on
black culture. As Andrews says, “Despite the fact that the most recognizable
woman in the United States is black, popular culture still hasn’t moved past the
only adjective apparently meant to describe us—strong.” And Andrews is
strong, but she is also flawed, tired, sexy, depressed, frightened, naïve,
hilarious, greedy, and, of course, bitchy. In 16 essays, Bitch Is the New Black
gives credence to each one of these faces—the secret sides every woman often
keeps hidden.
Told in her singular voice, Bitch Is the New Black explores the ups and downs of
finding love despite bleak statistics and attempts to uncover if her professional
success is actually scaring men away. Along with her ruminations on the state
of dating, Andrews includes soul-baring thoughts...

In The Weather of the Future, Dr. Heidi Cullen, one of our foremost climatologists
and environmental journalists, offers detailed predictions of what our world will
look like if we do nothing to curb CO2 emissions. Combining interviews with
climate scientists from around the world with state-of-the-art climate model
projections, this essential volume spells out the inherent risks that global
warming poses for everyone—not just those who live on the coasts.
Making a strong case for how we must connect our weather today with climate
change tomorrow, Cullen offers a new way of envisioning climate change, one in
which climate change isn’t happening just at the poles in some distant future, but
is happening right now in our own backyards. With careful and meticulous
research as a backbone, Cullen explores climate change scenarios for seven
locations around the world, taking the reader to places as diverse as New York
City, Bangladesh, and Australia. Taken together, these scenarios collectively spell
out the full spectrum of risks that exist for mankind in a climate-changed future,
illustrating how, if left unabated, this phenomenon will transform every corner of
the world by mid-century.

Milan Kundera's new collection of essays is a passionate defense of art in an era
that, he argues, no longer values art or beauty. With the same dazzling mix of
emotion and idea that characterizes his novels, Kundera revisits the art and
artists who remain important to him and whose work helps us to better
understand the world we live in and what it means to be human. An astute and
brilliant reader of fiction, Kundera brings these same extraordinary gifts to the
reading of Francis Bacon's paintings, Leos Janacek's music, the films of Federico
Fellini, as well as to the novels of Philip Roth, Fyodor Dostoyevsky, and Gabriel
García Márquez, among others. He also takes up the challenge of restoring to
their rightful place the work of major writers like Anatole France and Curzio
Malaparte who have fallen into obscurity.
Kundera's signature themes of memory and forgetting, the experience of exile,
and his spirited championing of modernist art are here, along with more personal
beliefs and stories. Encounter is a work of great humanism. Art is what we have in
the face of evil and the expression of the darker side of human...

alongside incredibly intelligent executives, affording her an inside perch from
which she could observe how they used their individual capabilities in very

they frequently overshadowed colleagues, killed ideas, and destroyed energy.
Others used their intelligence to amplify the creativity and capabilities of the
people around them-to help make everyone a genius. Witnessing this
fascinating pattern, Wiseman and Greg McKeown launched a research project
that involved interviews with more than 100 executives and their employees to
uncover the differences between these two distinctive styles of leadershipwhat they call the "Diminishers" and the "Multipliers."
Using insightful, real-life examples, Multipliers defines and contrasts each style
and lays out five key disciplines that can help managers avoid the Diminisher
trap and become Multipliers:

China's political and economic growth in the past three decades is one of
astonishing, epochal dimensions. The country has undergone a remarkable
transformation on a scale similar to the industrial revolution in the West. The
most remarkable part of this transformation, however, has been largely left
untold-the central role of the Chinese Communist Party. As an organization
alone, the Party is a phenomenon of unique scale and power. With more than 73
million members, it does more than just rule a country. The Party has a grip on
every arm of government, from the largest, richest cities to the smallest far-flung
villages in Tibet and Xinjiang, and on all official religions, media, and military. The
Party also presides over large, cashed-up state-owned businesses, and
exercises control over the selection of senior executives of all government
companies, many of which are in the top tier of the Fortune 500 list.
In The Party, Richard McGregor delves deeply into China's inner sanctum for the
first time, showing how the Communist Party controls the government, courts,
media, and military, and how it keeps all corruption accusations against its
members in-house. As the world's only geo-political rival...

From the end of the Baroque age and the death of Bach in 1750 to the rise of
Hitler in 1933, Germany was transformed from a poor relation among western
nations into a dominant intellectual and cultural force more influential than
France, Britain, Italy, Holland, and the United States. In the early decades of
the 20th century, German artists, writers, philosophers, scientists, and
engineers were leading their freshly-unified country to new and undreamed of
heights, and by 1933, they had won more Nobel prizes than anyone else and
more than the British and Americans combined. But this genius was cut down in
its prime with the rise and subsequent fall of Adolf Hitler and his fascist Third
Reich—a legacy of evil that has overshadowed the nation’s contributions ever
since.
Yet how did the Germans achieve their pre-eminence beginning in the mid-18th
century? In this fascinating cultural history, Peter Watson goes back through
time to explore the origins of the German genius, how it flourished and how it
continues to shape our world. As he convincingly demonstrates, while we may

pickles made immigrants too excitable to be good citizens, a culinary revolution

With its near-perfect pyramid shape, the 28,250-foot K2—the world’s second
highest mountain, only 780 feet shorter than the legendary Everest 1,000 miles

At a time when everyone, from big businesses to ordinary individuals, is trying to
make sense of their connected lives, Hamlet’s Blackberry presents a bold new
paradigm for understanding the devices that now demand so much of our time
and attention. Written in a lively, engaging style, Hamlet’s BlackBerry shows how
our computers and mobile devices are changing the way we think, feel, and relate
to others. While these technologies are tremendously helpful, they are also
becoming our greatest burden, making it harder for us to focus and think clearly,
do our best work and achieve the depth and fulfillment we crave.
Hamlet’s BlackBerry argues that we’ve surrendered too much of our lives to our

How far will a good guy go to win the love of his wildest dreams?
Intellectually gifted, David can hold his own in almost any situation, as long as it
doesn’t involve small talk and attractive women. Not so Alex, his smooth,

he turns to the ever-confident Alex for help.
Now Alex and Camilla are a couple and David is angry, hurt, and alone. While he

disappointment and expectations that have weighted him down, he leaves
home in search of a new beginning and a new self, and eventually finds success

In February, 1966, Dieter Dengler was one of the first American pilots shot down
over North Vietnam. He crashed in “neutral Laos,” deep in territory controlled by
the communist Pathet Lao and the North Vietnamese who would eventually
capture him.
But German-born Dengler was no ordinary prisoner. Already a legend in the Navy
for his escape and evasion skills—amply demonstrated during training in the
California desert—he would initiate, plan and lead an organized escape from a
POW camp, becoming the longest-held American to escape captivity during the
Vietnam War. Caught in a most desperate situation, imprisoned not only by the
enemy but by the jungle itself, Dengler’s heroic impulse was to not only get
himself out but to free all the other POWs—Americans, Thai, and Chinese—some
of whom had been held for years.
In a surreal scene of brotherhood and celebration, Dengler returned to his aircraft
carrier base six months after being shot down—emaciated, ravaged with strange
tropical illnesses but very much alive and joyous to be so—only two weeks before
the ship was due to leave the Gulf of Tonkin and return home.

In the early morning of December 3, 1999, Lily Safra stood shivering in her
nightgown on the grounds outside her sumptuous Monte Carlo penthouse,
where just hours before, her fourth husband, reclusive billionaire banker
Edmond Safra, died of smoke inhalation, unable to escape when flames swept
through the residence. Though an American nurse employed by the Safra family
was eventually convicted, there remains much speculation about exactly what
happened. With Safra’s death, Lily stood to inherit four billion dollars.
Yet the Brazilian-born Lily Safra was no stranger to tragedy and intrigue. In
1969, her second husband, multi-millionaire businessman Freddie Monteverde,
died from two gunshot wounds to the chest; the authorities ruled his death a
suicide. And then in 1989, her eldest son and four-year-old grandson died in a
car accident. But just who is Lily Safra? While she is a fixture in society columns
for her charity work and lavish parties attended by royalty, the elegant and
enigmatic widow has successfully kept her past hidden.
The Gilded Lily tells Lily’s full story for the first time. Using archival sources, court
documents, and interviews with childhood friends, former employees, and family

vast, powerful, and sophisticated empire. It should be at the height of its glory,
but is troubled by long-lasting foreign wars, public dissent, and internal power
struggles. With his new wife Ankhesenamun, the daughter of Nefertiti,
Tutankhamunm designs an audacious plan to consolidate his power and return
tolerance and enlightenment to his land. But not everyone wants the ambitious
new pharaoh to succeed, and soon sinister “gifts” begin appearing in the royal

Mainstream science presents a dismal view of human sexuality based on mutual
exploitation: women use sex to get men's resources, while men accrue wealth to
"buy" a mate. Yet the true prehistory of our species presents a less conniving, if
more ribald, story of human sexual nature. Rather than nuclear families built
around monogamous couples, Christopher Ryan and Cacilda Jethá argue that
humans evolved in interdependent, promiscuous groups. Based on their
paradigm-busting interdisciplinary approach, Sex at Dawn weave together
compelling evidence from anthropology, primatology, anatomy, psychology, and
psycho-sexuality to reframe our understanding of lust, monogamy and family.
Shocking, enlightening, and ultimately inspiring, Sex at Dawn features anecdotes
that illuminate "normal" sexuality in obscure societies from the African bush to the
jungles of the Amazon to the foothills of the Himalayas. Ryan and Jethá show
how human beings everywhere confront familiar, intimate situations in
surprisingly different ways.

Today's overwhelmed, overworked, and stressed out consumers and executives
are bombarded with an endless stream of ever louder and flashier marketing
attempts to capture attention. While personal time management has been a
popular topic, very little has been said about what businesses should do
differently because their customers suffer from a lack of time. Mobile devices and
the Internet have connected us in many ways, but these technologies have
added to the fray.
In The 24-Hour Customer, Adrian C. Ott, CEO of a bustling Silicon Valley
consultancy and busy mother of two active children, explores the economics of
time and attention-helping companies understand the Time-Value Tradeoffs and
Time-ographics of their customers. She shows that time isn't money anymore.

strategic weapons. Filled with fascinating case studies and examples from
leading-edge companies like Digital Chocolate, Nike, and Shutterfly, The 24-Hour

One sunny morning in 1969, near the end of her first trip to Miami, 26-year-old
Frances Ellerby discovers a place called Stiltsville, a community of houses built on
pilings in the middle of Biscayne Bay. For the Atlanta native, it’s the first time she’s
been out on the open water, the first time she’s felt alive in months. Giddy with
the freedom of this idyllic, foreign place, and enjoying her first taste of adventure,
she meets the fair-haired Dennis DuVal, the careless yet lucky man with whom
she will spend the next three decades.
Frances is seduced by Miami’s chaos and beauty, by the sun and sea and sky that
Dennis calls home. Going against her cautious nature, she leaves her job and
moves to Florida to start a life with Dennis. With a baby daughter and very little to
call their own, surrounded by an intimate community of friends and relatives,
Frances and Dennis set out on a decades-long journey. Over the years, they
struggle with the vicissitudes of love and Florida’s weather, infidelity, parenthood,

the sale of Connie’s grandmother’s abandoned home near Salem, she can’t
refuse. As she is drawn deeper into the mysteries of the family house, Connie

yellowing fragment of parchment with a name written upon it: Deliverance
Dane. This discovery launches Connie on a quest—to find out who this woman
was and to unearth a rare artifact of singular power: a physick book, its pages
a secret repository for lost knowledge.
As the pieces of Deliverance’s harrowing story begin to fall into place, Connie is
haunted by visions of the long-ago witch trials, and she begins to fear that she
is more tied to Salem’s dark past then she could have ever imagined.
Written with astonishing conviction and grace, The Physick Book of Deliverance

dominance of space as well as Earth’s oceans
The United States begins to establish the ultimate High Ground-a space-based
anti-ballistic missile and anti-satellite system in Earth's orbit, which could
protect not only America, but also her allies from attack. The most controversial
part of the system is Mjollnir, a precision-guided artificial meteorite that can
strike almost anywhere on the planet in a matter of seconds. China responds
by setting up dozens of anti-satellite missile sites around the world aimed at
America's Armstrong Space Station. Meanwhile, a series of accidents in space,
the possibility of an arms race with China, the upcoming elections and a
worsening economic outlook, all put the pressure on U.S. President Joseph
Gardner to cancel the weapon satellite system and call for treaties to eliminate
all space-based weapons. But instead of negotiating, China surges its military
forces for the first time since the Korean War by invading Somalia and Yemen
and capturing the vital shipping lanes in the Gulf of Aden.
Now, America's vaunted nuclear aircraft carrier battle groups are in the
crosshairs of Chinese hypersonic missiles and hunter-killer submarines. Russia,
Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and others see America's military dominance
eroding and rush to take advantage....

Jake Ransom thought his life was finally back to normal. But when a nefarious
trap set by the Skull King sends Jake and his sister, Kady, back to Pangaea, his
life is once again thrust into turmoil. Danger looms in this strange world of longlost civilizations, this time in the form of a powerful Egyptian talisman—a
talisman that threatens not just the fate of Pangaea but the fate of Jake's own
world as well. To save everything he cares about, Jake will have to face the
fearsome Sphinx of ancient legend.
In this exhilarating sequel to Jake Ransom and the Skull King's Shadow, James
Rollins raises the bar with another explosively entertaining adventure.

Before Carrie Bradshaw became the queen of the New York City social scene,
she was a regular girl growing up in the suburbs of Connecticut. How did she
turn into one of the most-read social observers of our generation?
The Carrie Diaries opens up in Carrie’s senior year of high school. She and her
best friends—Walt, Lali, Maggie, and the Mouse—are inseparable amid the sea
of Jens, Jocks, and Jets. And then Sebastian Kydd comes into the picture.
Sebastian is a bad boy—older, intriguing, and unpredictable. Carrie falls into the
relationship that she was always supposed to have in high school—until a
friend’s betrayal makes her question everything. With her high school days
coming to a close, Carrie will realize it’s finally time to go after everything she's
ever wanted.
Rabid fans of Sex and the City will love seeing Carrie Bradshaw evolve from a
regular girl into a sharp, insightful writer. They’ll learn about her family
background—how she found her writing voice, and the indelible impression her
early friendships and relationships left on her. We’ll see what brings Carrie to
her beloved New York City, where the...

Bruce Feiler was a young father when he was diagnosed with cancer in 2008.
He instantly worried what his death might mean for his daughters. “Would they
wonder who I was? Would they wonder what I thought? Would they lack for my
approval, my discipline, my voice?”
Three days later he came up with a stirring idea of how he might give them that
voice. He would reach out to six men, from all the passages in his life, and
asked them to be present through the passages in his daughters’ lives. And he
would call this group of men, “The Council of Dads.”
“I believe my daughters will have plenty of opportunities in their lives,” he
wrote to these men. “They’ll have loving families. They’ll have welcoming
homes. They’ll have each other. But they may not have me. They may not have
their dad. Will you help be their dad?”
The Council of Dads is the inspiring story of what happened next. Mixing the
harrowing tale of his treatment with the uplifting lessons of these
men—“Approach the Cow,” “Pack...

Now today's most popular spiritual teachers, Debbie Ford, Marianne Williamson,
and Deepak Chopra join forces in this remarkable exploration of the dark sidethe emotions and traits we are most afraid of and instinctively hide. When we
reject or refuse to acknowledge this part of our nature we become susceptible
to those emotions and traits negatively impacting us. The truth is the shadow
makes it presence known whether we want it to or not. The difference is that if
uninvited our dark side has the potential to hurt us and our loved ones at any
moment. However by embracing our shadow we embark on an incredible,
rewarding journey. This journey to wholeness, far from frightening, is
empowering. By uncovering who we really are, the totality of our being, we
access hidden strengths, boundless courage, and a clear path to happiness.

Born a slave on the island of Saint-Domingue, Zarité—known as Tété—is the
daughter of an African mother she never knew and one of the white sailors who
brought her into bondage. Though her childhood is one of brutality and fear,
Tété finds solace in the traditional rhythms of African drums and the voodoo
loas she discovers through her fellow slaves.
When 20-year-old Toulouse Valmorain arrives on the island in 1770, it’s with
powdered wigs in his trunks and dreams of financial success in his mind. But
running his father’s plantation, Saint Lazare, is neither glamorous nor easy.
Although Valmorain purchase young Tété for his cruel bride, it is he who will
become dependent on the services of his teenaged slave.
Against the merciless backdrop of sugar cane fields, the lives of Tété and
Valmorain grow ever more intertwined. When the bloody revolution of Toussaint
Louverture arrives at the gates of Saint Lazare, they flee the brutal conditions
of the French colony that will become Haiti for the raucous, free-wheeling
enterprise of New Orleans. There, Tété finally forges a new life, but her
connection to Valmorain is deeper...

C onfederate president Jefferson Davis and the 14-day funeral train procession that took
Abraham Lincoln’s body home to Springfield
On the morning of April 2, Jefferson Davis, president of the Confederacy,
received the telegram from General Robert E. Lee: There is no more time—the
Yankees are coming. That evening, shortly before midnight, Davis boarded a
train from Richmond and fled the capital. But in two weeks time, John Wilkes
Booth would put a bullet through the President’s head, and the nation was
convinced that Davis was the mastermind of the assassination. No longer
merely a traitor, Davis became a murderer, a wanted man with a one-hundredthousand-dollar bounty on his head. Over the course of several weeks, Union
cavalry led an intense and thrilling chase through the Carolinas and Georgia.
Davis’s final journey into captivity, with its moments of great suffering and
intense drama, transformed him into a martyr of the South’s Lost Cause.
Another man was also undergoing his last journey. He was Abraham Lincoln,
whose final sojourn began on April 19 after the White House funeral. From
there a solemn procession escorted him to the Capitol rotunda, where tens of
thousands of mourners viewed him in death. This was just the beginning. On
April 21, one week after he was shot,...

With a keen eye for human connection and universal feelings of longing, Alix
Strauss presents nuanced portraits of eight seemingly ordinary women as they
grapple with family, sex, power, love, and death. Each one is lonely, strong, and
driven—and when pushed to the edge, must fight for her life as she struggles
to become the woman she wants to be. The result is an utterly original read,
with Strauss’ unique style touching on dark themes and light prose.
Meet Trish, a gallery owner obsessing over her best friend’s wedding and
dramatic weight loss; Robin, worn down by a lifetime of abuse by her older
sister and forced to take revenge; Anne, a lonely, single woman suffering from
obsessive-compulsive disorder; Louise, a drug-addicted rock star sent to dry
out by her equally famous publicist; Franny, a Southerner turned wannabe
Manhattanite, envious of (and unhealthily engrossed by) her neighbors’ lives
and nesting habits; Sheila, a single teacher driven to punish her boyfriend
when he informs her that he’s returning to his wife; and Ellen, a married woman
so desperate to have children that she pretends to be pregnant.

emerged as one of the world's leading rock groups. But by the end of the decade, Perry
and Whitford left the group while Tyler became heavily involved with drugs. Though
Tyler kept the band alive by adding new members, his personal problems affected his
creative abilities and Aerosmith devolved into a shadow of its former self. By the mid1980s, Tyler went through rehabilitation. Regrouping with Perry and the other original
members of Aerosmith, they made a remarkable comeback and, today, draw droves of
fans to their live concerts.
Recently, the famed performer has been plagued by health problems. He successfully

Former CIA agent Emma Cross thought she got out of dangerous work when
she took a job with St. Kilda's consulting. A little PI work and troubleshooting is
certainly less stressful than Tribal Wars. At least they were until Emma found
herself caught in the middle of an international incident. Lucky for her she's got
a new partner as menacing and distrustful as the worst enemy she's ever
faced-and as deadly.
Until five years ago, Mackenzie Durand led a Special Ops team that was
deployed to some of the world's nastiest places. But on the last op, he was the
only survivor. After a rumor started circulating that the CIA hung his team out to
dry with bad intel, he quit and never looked back.
Thrown together by an organization of bad guys with global ties more
dangerous than either realizes, Mac and Emma must put aside their distrust for
each other in order to save more than just their own lives.

technology, innovation, and change—cultural evolution—will inevitably increase human
prosperity
The Rational Optimist is an unfashionable and contrarian trumpet blast for the
notion that things are, and will continue to become, better for people and their
planet. In the author’s first 50 years of life, global income per head has more
than tripled, while lifespan and calories per head have increased by a third and
child mortality has fallen to one-third of what it was. All this while the
population of the globe has nearly tripled. More people have been raised out of
poverty in recent years than in all of human history before, and the
commercialization of life has coincided with expanding kindness, not growing
selfishness.
But Matt Ridley’s optimism is based on more than extrapolating recent trends;
on more than discovering that reactionary pessimists (blue, red, and green)
who dominate intellectual discourse in every generation have been wrong
again and again for two centuries. It is based on a brand-new understanding of
how human culture evolves by exchange and specialization—a process that
began more than 100,000 years ago in Africa. The book covers the entire
sweep of human history and human life, from the old stone age to the Internet,

The bestseller now in large print! A funny, honest, and foolproof guide to all women

Every morning seven million listeners wake up with Steve Harvey and his toprated radio show, "The Steve Harvey Morning Show." And while his opening and
closing remarks provide daily reaffirmation and spiritual sustenance, it’s his
advice on relationships that keep listeners hanging on to his every word.
Whether he’s doling out wisdom on why women need to enforce a “90-Day
Probation Period” before they give their men sexual “benefits” the way Ford
motor company won’t give a worker medical and dental benefits until they’ve
been on the job for 3 months or explaining to women why men would rather
“fix it” than talk about it, Harvey’s advice is always spot-on and more often than
not, quite funny. But make no mistake, Harvey knows relationships are among
his listeners top concerns and he’s committed to helping them “get their mind
right” when it comes to finding a sound partner. The bestselling: Act Like a Lady,
Think Like a Man is an honest, compelling, and realistic examination of how men
think about love and sex and what women need to know so that they can set
realistic expectations of the men in their life.

The definitive biography of George Steinbrenner, owner of the New York Yankees,
written by the New York Daily News columnist who has...
Ever since he bought the New York Yankees, George Steinbrenner’s
domineering personality and ruthless tactics have made him the most
successful—and most hated—man in baseball. Steinbrenner revolutionized the
business and culture of the sport, creating the free-agent era with his gaudy
signing of Catfish Hunter. He displayed a flair for showmanship worthy of New
York when he wooed Reggie Jackson with dinner at ‘21’ and the promise of a
new Rolls Royce. And in spite of his manic management style and free-spending,
Steinbrenner’s Yankees have won more World Series and made more money
than any other team in baseball history.
Along for the ride was Bill Madden, who has covered the Yankees and baseball
for the New York Daily News for more than 30 years. When Steinbrenner
wanted to fire manager Billy Martin and hire Yogi Berra in 1985, he called
Madden—and acted on his advice two months later. When Steinbrenner made
his return from suspension Madden was the only reporter to accompany him
from the Regency Hotel in Manhattan to Yankee Stadium. When Steinbrenner,
his health in decline, decided to do his final one-on-one interview, he gave it to
Madden....

and Deepak Chopra join forces in this remarkable exploration of the dark side-the
emotions and traits we are most afraid of and instinctively hide. When we reject
or refuse to acknowledge this part of our nature we become susceptible to those
emotions and traits negatively impacting us. The truth is the shadow makes it
presence known whether we want it to or not. The difference is that if uninvited
our dark side has the potential to hurt us and our loved ones at any moment.
However by embracing our shadow we embark on an incredible, rewarding
journey. This journey to wholeness, far from frightening, is empowering. By
uncovering who we really are, the totality of our being, we access hidden
strengths, boundless courage, and a clear path to happiness.

From the moment Jeff Guidry saw the emaciated baby eagle with broken wings, his
life was changed. For many weeks he and the staff at Sarvey Wildlife Rescue
Center patiently tended to the seriously injured bird. Eventually they brought her
back from the brink of death and Jeff became her devoted caretaker.

Freedom would never fly, but she had Jeff as her wings. And when Jeff was
diagnosed with Stage 3 non-Hodgkins lymphoma in 2000, Freedom returned his
gift. Between sessions of ferocious chemotherapy, Jeff would return to Sarvey and
take Freedom for walks which soothed his spirit. Soon Freedom dominated his
thoughts and his dreams, guiding him to fight his disease. Eight months into his
battle, Jeff learned that he was cancer free. His first stop was Sarvey to walk
Freedom. Somehow this special bird seemed to understand the significance of the
day. For the very first time she wrapped both her wings around Jeff, enveloping him
in an avian hug.

UNTI ON SPORTS has a straightforward objective: to change our perception of
the world by transforming our understanding of sports. Sports, after all, are just
about the most vivid, primal, and dramatic of all human pursuits, revealing many
of our innermost instincts and emotions. And this is why sports offer such
powerful--but often overlooked--tools with which to better understand many of
our greatest controversies, whether in genetics, race, sex, politics or
economics. To put it another way, sports are imbued with "explanatory power."

By examining the world through the lens of sports, questions inevitably arise
that have important social repercussions and meaning:
1. Are men really better at sports than women?
2. Why, of the 53 sprinters to have ducked under 10 seconds the 100 m, have
all been black?
3. Why are there so many lesbians who excel in sports, but so few gay men?

proving that talent is not what we...

It is not down on any map; true places never are. —Herman Melville
Zee Finch has come a long way from a motherless childhood spent stealing
boats from Salem Harbor—a talent that earned her the name Trouble. She’s
now a respected psychotherapist working under world famous specialist Dr. Liz
Mattei. She’s also about to marry Michael, one of Boston’s most eligible
bachelors—a brilliant game theorist who is paid to predict what people will do.
But the suicide of her most troubled patient, Lily Breadon, throws Zee into
emotional chaos and takes her back to places she thought she’d left behind.
No one knows of the guilt, the constant “what if” that has plagued Zee since
the day her mother, a children’s book author suffering from bipolar disorder,
took her own life. No one knows the role she played in her death. Could she
have saved her mother—and was she now living proof of her boss’s new
theory, that a daughter will always pursue the unfinished dreams of her
mother—especially if those dreams were never expressed?
Zee knows the answers...

The chase for Lincoln's killer was not the only thrilling manhunt underway at the
close of the Civil War in April 1865.
Another man was on the run that spring, desperate to save his country, his
family, and his life. He was Jefferson Davis, president of the Confederacy. His final
journey began at church on Sunday morning, April 2, where he was handed an
urgent telegram from Robert E. Lee: there is no more time - the Yankees are
coming - flee the capital at once. Shortly before midnight Davis fled from
Richmond, vowing to fight on. Accused of plotting Lincoln's assassination, Davis
became the object of a one-hundred thousand dollar reward and a vigorous
pursuit by Union cavalry. During the Civil War Jefferson Davis never enjoyed the
honors given to Lee and Jackson, but his final journey into captivity, and the
suffering he endured, transformed him into the martyr of the South's Lost Cause.
Meanwhile, another man was also taking his last journey. He was Abraham
Lincoln, late sixteenth president of the United States. It began on April 19...

Atticus Finch's immortal words to to his children as he defends the real mockingbird
of Harper Lee's enduring novel-a black man charged with the rape of a white girlhave become a part of our literary lexicon. Through the young eyes of Scout and
Jem Finch, Harper Lee explores with rich humor and unswerving honesty the
irrationality of adult attitudes toward race and class in the Deep South of the
1930s. The conscience of a town steeped in prejudice, violence, and hypocrisy is
pricked by the stamina and quiet heroism of one man's struggle for justice-but the
weight of history will only tolerate so much.

When it was first published nearly 50 years ago, To Kill a Mockingbird was an
instant hit among readers and became one of the most revered and
controversial classics in America, selling more than 30 million copies. Today,
Harper Lee’s novel remains as powerful a reading experience as when it first
appeared in the summer of 1960, and continues to change lives.
To commemorate this milestone in American lettres , and explore the novel’s
influence on our culture, Mary Murphy created a documentary film, Hey Boo, in
which she interviewed prominent figures including Oprah, Anna Quindlan, and
Tom Brokaw. For this companion volume, she has gathered together the best
selections from these impressive, deeply personal interviews.
Divided into three sections: reflections on the central characters— Scout,
Atticus, Boo Radley, Jem, Dill, and Calpurnia; the 1962 screen adaptation; and
the themese of race, class, childhood, small-town life, friendship, the South,
conscience, parenthood, and the craft of writing.
Intriguing and illuminating, Scout, Atticus and Boo celebrates one of our finest
works of literature, a novel that will continue to touch readers for
generations....

Lewis Monteith's mission has gotten off to a shaky start. Wounded in battle, he
jumped from his ship rather than risk losing the evidence that would bring down
a traitor. As he recuperates in a tiny village, he finds his respect for the villagers
grows--as does his fascination with his rescuer, Linnet Trevission. Unwilling to
risk putting the village in greater danger by remaining, but unable to travel on
his own, Lewis reluctantly accepts Linnet's offer of help.
Linnet's strength and wisdom have made her a respected leader at home.
That's why she knows she'll be invaluable to Lewis--if only he'll let her in. Linnet
has no doubt that Lewis is the man for her. Her only battle now is convincing
him that the connection they feel is real and everlasting--before it's too late.

Far different from standard baseball memoirs, Willie Randolph's story is a personal
journey from a sharecropper's shack to the pinnacle of success. His story
personifies a remarkable American passage-one family's journey from slavery to
freedom, poverty to prosperity, illiteracy to the Ivy League in the span of a few
generations.
The oldest of five siblings, Randolph was delivered by a midwife in the front room
of a wooden roadside shack in Holly Hill, SC, with no plumbing, no running water,
and a single bare light bulb. A few years later his parents moved the family north
to Brooklyn, where Randolph grew up in a housing project riddled with drugs,
crime, and violence. Walking a straight and narrow path, he escaped the mean
streets via the grassless ballfields of New York City. Drafted by the Pittsburgh
Pirates in 1972, he made his mark as the 2nd baseman for the New York Yankees
from 1976 to 1988. But this driven, gifted young man wasn't alone. His parents,
his high school coach, and Yankees manager Billy Martin helped him become the
man he was destined to be.

needs him to find his daughter, a girl named Marianne, and bring her home. The

and has no intention of leaving her lover's exlusive island compound.
And then there's a complication called Dantalion, a contract killer on the hunt for
Jorgenson and Marianne. Dantalion has an agenda of his own, and nobody is
going to stand in his way. Even Joe Hunter.
When Hunter steps in and saves the couple, what started as a simple matter of
snatch-and-grab turns into a deadly game of cat-and-mouse that sets hunter and
hunted on a grueling chase deep within the Florida swamplands.

There is a great transformation in consciousness taking place that is reshaping
human experience. We are evolving beyond the limits of our five senses and
becoming multisensory beings. Where previously our relationships were built
around needs, our new relationships are built around cultivating our most loving
selves.
With Spiritual Partnership Gary Zukav is introducing a profound new relationship
dynamic which enables and empowers individuals to reach their true potential
and discover what Zukav calls “authentic power”. Spiritual partnerships are not
exclusively for couples in marriage or relationships; they can be created in
families, between friends, in the workplace, at school – anywhere two or more
individuals decide to create a relationship as equals. In Spiritual Partnership,
Zukav offers an in-depth transformational voyage into the deepest, most
wholesome, and refreshing sources of meaning and purpose in our lives. Filled
with poignant examples and practical guidance, Spiritual Partnership empowers
and enables us to explore our emotions, our intentions, our choices, and our
intuition and to use these experiences to discover profound spiritual growth.

and Deepak Chopra join forces in this remarkable exploration of the dark side-the
emotions and traits we are most afraid of and instinctively hide. When we reject
or refuse to acknowledge this part of our nature we become susceptible to those
emotions and traits negatively impacting us. The truth is the shadow makes it
presence known whether we want it to or not. The difference is that if uninvited
our dark side has the potential to hurt us and our loved ones at any moment.
However by embracing our shadow we embark on an incredible, rewarding
journey. This journey to wholeness, far from frightening, is empowering. By
uncovering who we really are, the totality of our being, we access hidden
strengths, boundless courage, and a clear path to happiness.

The Great Religions is a major book that challenges the underlying premise of
books like Karen Armstrong’s A History of God and Jack Miles’s God: A Biography.
Author and religion scholar Stephen Prothero debunks the popular myth that all
religions are “different paths to the same God.” Contrary to what many popular
religion writers (Huston Smith) say, we actually disrespect the core of each
religious tradition when we treat them as if they were indistinguishable. The Great
Religions showcases the disparities between each tradition, revealing the
undeniable differences drawn by religious boundaries of belief and practice.
To claim that all religions are the same is to misunderstand that each tradition
attempts to solve a different aspect of the human condition. For example:
• Christianity: the problem is sin / the solution is salvation
• Buddhism: the problem is suffering / the solution is enlightenment
• Islam: the problem is pride / the solution is submission
• Confucianism: the problem is chaos / the solution is social order
When we gloss over these differences we fail to appreciate each religion on its...

Based on over twenty-five years of spirit communication, James Van Praagh
shares with readers the personal regrets, misgivings, remorse, and, most
importantly, the advice of the dead who have chosen him as a medium. These

the other side and how we, the living, can benefit from their experiences.
Filled with profound, shocking, and emotional stories, Van Praagh presents the
reader with the practical tools necessary to prevent us from leaving "unfinished
business" behind. Topics include emotional baggage, reliving childhood dramas,
the simplicity of the golden rule, as well as practical information on how to identify
blocks that keep us from forgiving ourselves and each other, a step-by-step guide
to spiritual housekeeping, and a chapter on how to live life from a place of
complete compassion. Through the understanding of these spirit communications
and by utilizing their wisdom in our daily lives, we can take the steps necessary
to live a life free of regret and discover the necessary steps to ensure an easy
passing from this world to the next.

Brain workouts focused on memory are big business. Memory is located in only
one part of the brain. It is movement that connects the intricate web of brain
circuitry since different kinds of movement are managed by different areas of the
brain. These critical brain circuits work with your muscles, tendons, and joints to
dictate the quality of movement throughout the body.
In Super Body, Super Brain, author Michael Gonzalez-Wallace combines specific
movements, involving balance and coordination, creating an atmosphere of
multi-tasking connecting the brain circuitry and providing the brain with a
workout from front to back and left to right. These movements are combined into
a powerful, full-body workout that keeps both your body and brain fit. The
program only takes ten minutes per day and delivers maximum results in minimal
time creating the ultimate in body and brain efficiency. The workout progresses
in difficulty over time as both muscles and brain circuits need challenges in order
to stay fit. The program can be done anywhere, by anyone regardless of their
shape or level of athletic ability.

Kate is a popular religion professor at a liberal arts college in a small town in the
Midwest who retreats to her nearest pub for a Guinness and a cigarette when
she needs some air. Kate thinks her life is right on track--teaching, writing books,
getting some notice, but she soon discovers that even in the twenty-first century,
God works in mysterious ways.
Kate is up for tenure, and that is when it all starts to go wrong. A colleague
warns her that her books are too Christian and too popular. She is offered a
visiting professor job at a prestigious seminary that employs the professor she
had an affair with years ago. Students ask her views on Jesus, the Bible, and
homosexuality, which leads to a parents' campaign for the school to get rid of
her. Along the way, readers learn about theological and social issues dividing
Christians today as the characters engage them in their lives and work. What is

faith? How does the study of religion relate to the practice...

INTRODUCTION BY DAVID BECKHAM
For this unique and beautiful book, sports writer Tom Watt talked to the world's
top players about growing up and falling in love with the game: Argentina's
Lionel Messi and Brazil's Gilberto Silva; England's David James and Scotland's
Craig Gordon; Italy's Fabio Cannavaro, Spain's Iker Casillas and France's Frank
Ribéry; South Africa's Benni McCarthy and Nigeria's Nwankwo Kanu; the USA's
Landon Donovan and Shunsuke Nakamura from Japan; and the world's most
famous player, David Beckham.
A Beautiful Game tells their stories, in the players' own words; stories of boys
who would grow up to be heroes for a new generation of young players and
fans. They look back to their childhoods; to their family homes, to their
schoolrooms, to the friends they grew up with and to the places where they first
played the game that has made them stars. The players' words are brought to
life with over 130 full-color images which offer rare, emotive and striking insights
and celebrate soccer's ability to touch our hearts wherever the beautiful game is
played.

Melody Beattie returns in classic form to a subject that will engage and inspire
everyone seeking their soul’s purpose; their home. Too often in life, people settle
for security rather than genuine fulfillment—it is the easier path—but the sense
that something is “missing” or “incomplete” never fades from our daily lives. So
what does it mean to feel at home, truly present with ourselves, comfortable with
our choices, and alive to the possibilities of conscious change? How can we
develop inner balance and connection, keeping our boundaries clear while
opening our hearts to those we love? With practical wisdom and insight, Beattie
addresses these questions, encouraging us to reach a higher lever of living and
loving, while showing us how to be at home with ourselves wherever we are in
the world, at whatever stage in life.
Through true stories and take-action exercises, including journaling,
visualizations, affirmations, meditations, and prayers, Beattie provides the
essential tools to help us discover our own sense of home. Accessible and
illuminating, Finding Your Way Home is a soul-searching look at how not to be
victimized by ourselves—or other people. Beattie urges us to discover new levels

Richard Foster expounds on his writing in the successful Renovaré Spiritual
Formation Bible and his concept of the "with-God life," showing how all of
Scripture is unified around the theme of living a vibrant and dynamic life with God.
For Foster, the with-God life concept allows the "river of life that flows through the
Bible into the thirsty wastelands of the human soul."
Breaking up history into fifteen epochs that reveal the unfolding of God's plan for
seeking out a relationship with us, Foster sees the Bible as "the loving heart of
God made visible and plain." The with-God life "is a life of unhurried peace and
power. It is solid, serene, simple, and radiant." Readers will discover a whole new
way to read Scripture, making it a doorway to a lifestyle we can master, rather
than merely knowledge we understand.

In a revolutionary approach combining Biblical study and scientific inquiry, a
popular scientist presents the culmination of decades of research to explore the
force he has never been able to define-the unmoved mover behind it all. Through
in depth examination of the Bible as well as a scientific exploration of nature,
Schroeder presents the case for a living, changing God who is still learning how to
relate to creation. Schroeder retranslates the key Exodus verse that is typically
translated "I am that which I am," revealing that it should be "I will be that which
I will be," which describes a continually changing, dynamic presence.
With chapters on subjects such as how to understand a God who "regrets," why
God wants us to argue with him, why nature rebels, and much more, we
ultimately learn how to become partners with God in his creation. God According
to God offers a radical paradigm shift in the ongoing debate between science and

Lance is a man who was not afraid to face setbacks and refuses to let others
expectations hinder his dreams. Longshot is filled with remarkable inside stories
about collegiate basketball and the difficult experiences Lance had playing
professionally in Europe, with paychecks that never arrived and a knee injury his
Spanish team didn't want to pay to treat. Lance was prepared to give up on
basketball
when he got a deal with the Iowa Stampede in Boise. This led to his landing a

This walk down memory lane evokes memories of the glory days of a not-toodistant past that we all secretly want to recapture. Without video games to
entertain him, and the world at his fingertips, Gulley sets out on his bicycle with
only a few rules to guide him-not to cause his death (or anyone's else's), to
always wear clean underwear, and to be home by suppertime. This rollicking
portrait also includes his occasional detours into depravity in the company of Suds
Norton, Polack Barret, and other good-natured miscreants, many of them later
imprisoned; and the ultimate joy every summer when the carnival would come to
town and he and his friends could "test" the rides for free.
Humorous, poignant, and nostalgic in tone, I Love You, Miss Huddleston is takes
its place among other classics such as television's The Wonder Years, Jean
Shepherd's A Christmas Story, and the writings of Garrison Keillor.

Money, Greed, and God
Why Capitalism Is the Solution and Not the Problem
Jay Richards
A prominent scholar reveals the surprising ways that capitalism is actually the best way to
follow Jesus's mandates to alleviate poverty and protect our earth
Christianity generally sees capitalism as either bad because it causes much of the
world's suffering, or good because God wants you to prosper and be rich. But
there is a large, growing audience of evangelical and mainline Christians who are
deeply uneasy about how to follow Jesus's mandate to care for the poor and the
environment while living with the excesses of capitalism.

Now, a noted Christian scholar argues that there is a middle view that reveals
Christianity cannot only accommodate capitalism, but Christian theology can help
explain why capitalism works. By exposing the most common misguided thinking
of Christians when they are thinking about economics, such as "capitalism is
based on greed and over consumption" or "if someone becomes rich that
automatically means someone else will become poor," Money, Guilt, and God
equips readers to take practical steps in their own lives to conduct business,
worship God, and serve others without falling into the "prosperity gospel" trap.

The Sylvia Brown Story is the intimate, first-person, unapologetic, no-holdsbarred story of an amazing woman’s life. Now 72, Syllvia is ready to tell all, and
in this book she reaches deep beneath the surface of her life to candidly
discuss details of her professional and personal experiences that she’s never
revealed in public before.
Sylvia reveals the little known truths behind her three failed marriages,
including the physical abuse, bankruptcy, and legal troubles. While the press
had a field day writing about it at the time, Sylvia remained quiet—until now.
Sylvia will discuss her painful transitions and the financial and emotional
damage inflicted by her husbands. And as an almost parenthetical lesson for all
of us in forgiveness and compassion, she’ll describe the experience of moving
husband Dal Brown back into her house to take care of him when she learned
that he was alone and in failing health.
Then there are Sylvia’s own physical challenges, from a series of painful hip
surgeries to her relatively recent discovery that she’d suddenly gone blind in
one eye—and, in a surprsie even she didn’t see coming, Mr....

Rest is vital to our well being. As important as adequate hydration and nourishing
foods, the human need for rest is often overlooked and can be the first thing
compromised when we are stressed and busy. We are having difficulty sleeping
and even more often, never feeling truly refreshed.
In The Power of Rest readers will learn about the crucial four types of rest;
physical, mental, social and spiritual. This 30 day innovative program is based on
the author’s years of research and experience with rest-deprived patients.
Through step-by-step instructions, readers will learn how to engage the body’s
power to restore, renew and replenish. This program serves anyone feeling sleep
deprived or fatigued as well as offering a potent program for those wanting to
lose weight or heal. Also, the lack of cellular repair is a major contributing factor to
aging. This program can reverse that “tired” look that often prompts the call to a
plastic surgeon.
In The Power of Rest, Dr. Edlund offers a revolutionary program for restoring your

The founding member and drummer for Aerosmith courageously tells the world
how he has wrestled with the great demon of depression as part of the most
successful band in American history. Set in the wildly glamorous, crazy, drugaddled world of some of the greatest rock stars in history, Hit Hard unpacks the
history of rock and roll star who was both fragile and tough, who after years of
insane wildness got himself off drugs, only to find that the real terrors and real
work were still ahead.
This is also the story of a kid from an average American suburb who went through
physical and emotional abuse, and how he went on to numb himself with sex and
drugs and alcohol the same way millions of troubled people do. But ultimately, it's
about how Kramer found his way out of all that and into a healthy sense of
himself-with the kind of self-awareness and self-acceptance that makes other
healthy relationships possible.

This book shows that the argument for intelligent design from DNA is not based
on ignorance or a desire to "give up on science," but instead upon just the
opposite: our growing scientific knowledge of the inner workings of the cell and
our knowledge of the cause-and-effect structure of the world. For this reason the
argument for design can be formulated as a rigorous scientific argument. In fact,
the argument for intelligent design from DNA is based on the same method of
scientific reasoning that Darwin himself used.

As Muslims grow in numbers, and as Islam's role in world affairs becomes larger,
we've begun to see the breakdown in a united fellowship among believers. Iran's
clerics are split, militant fundamentalists clash with students from Islamic
universities, moderate Muslim-Americans look nothing like wahhabis from Saudi
Arabia. Islam seems to be at war with itself. In Islam in the Modern World one of
the foremost Islamic scholars in the United States describes and defends
traditional Islam against all the extremist factions that have attempted to coopt
the faith and whose self-righteous rhetoric currently shapes our fears and
prejudices.
Originally published in 1987 in the UK as Traditional Islam in the Modern World,
Nasr has completely revised and updated this book for the U.S. with a new
Introduction. A defense of "traditional" Islam, as opposed to Islamic
fundamentalism, by one of the best-informed, most articulate Muslims of our time.
Increasingly relevant in today's world, this book hits all the hot button issues
currently surrounding Islam and offers a steady guide through an increasingly

Irrational beliefs in such supernatural things are more common than you think. In
fact, according to award-winning cognitive scientist Bruce Hood, this
"supernatural sense" is something we're born with and essential to the way we
learn to understand the world. We couldn't live without it! We are inclined from
the start to think that there are unseen patterns, forces and essences inhabiting
the world. This way of thinking is unavoidable and it may be part of human nature
to see ourselves connected to each other at a deeper, spiritual level. Moreover,
these beliefs actually serve to bind us together as a society.

This informative, interesting, and consistently readable narrative history brings
alive the people, dramatic events, and ideas that shaped the first fifteen
centuries of the church's life and thought--including major events outside of
Europe, such as the Spanish and Portuguese conquest of the New World.
Historian Justo Gonzalez shows how various social, political, and economic
movements affected Christianity's internal growth.
Gonzalez skillfully weaves in relevant details from the lives of prominent figures
from the apostles to John Wycliffe, tracing out core theological issues and
developments as reflected in the lives and stuggles of leading thinkers within
the various traditions of the church. "The history of the church, while showing
all the characteristics of human history, is much more than the history of an
institution or movement," Gonzalez stresses. "It is a history of the deeds of the
spirit in and through the men and women who have gone before in the faith."
The Story of Christianity demonstrates at each point what new challenges and
opportunities faced the church, and how Christians struggled with the various
options open to them, thereby shaping the future direction of the church. This

From the dawn of civilization humankind has looked for answers to the meaning of
existence. The big questions like, “where did we come from?,” “how should we live?
,” and “where do we go when we die?” have perplexed and puzzled. Each
generation has been eager to follow the prophets who might manifest and offer
their guidance. The roads taken to find certain truths were varied, ranging from the
ridiculous, or horrific and strange, to the sublime.
From the prophets of doom, to the eccentric characters from the Bible, to solitary
visionaries, such as hermits and ascetics, or believers in overindulgence, who
thought food, sex, and drugs were the keys to the portal to divine
understanding, God's Lunatics chronicles history’s large and colorful cast of prophets.
From the intimate doings of those who rose to an “immortal” level, walked on fire, or
handled poisonous snakes, to prophets claiming time travel as their source of
knowledge, God's Lunatics also takes a look at the foundations of major religions,
and the adoption of customs and laws which influenced governments and culture to
this day.

Freshwater Boys follows a group of boys and men in struggles with nature, town
legends, and themselves. The opening narratives feature adolescent or preadolescent boys struggling with their conceptions of manhood. Later, the stories
depict grown men who find that these same struggles never go away. The
narrator in “Camouflage Fall” feels out of place among the hunters and fathers as
they search for a missing child. Evan Rumishek in “The Lake Effect” fights through
a blizzard to prove his worth to his own wife. And in the title story, a man grieves
not only his drowned son but also his own failure as a father.
The landscapes and lakescapes serve as recurring characters in the book. The
boys and men wander forests—sometimes finding tranquility, sometimes finding
tragedy. They climb and descend dunes. And often, they encounter the Big Lake:
Lake Michigan. The idea of a Third Coast figures prominently in the book, the lake
and its horizon serving as a kind of world’s end, where things come to life or pass
away.
“Michigan, the state with the largest fresh water coastline, is our Third Coast,
and writers, such as Ernest Hemingway and Jim Harrison, who have best

The Crowning Glory of Calla Lily Ponder is the sweet, sexy, funny journey of Calla
Lily’s life set in Wells’ ever-expanding Louisiana landscape. In the small river town
of La Luna, Calla bursts into being, a force of nature as luminous as the flower
she is named for. Under the loving light of the Moon Lady, the feminine force that
will guide and protect her throughout her life, Calla Lily enjoys a blissful
childhood—until it is cut short by forces beyond her control. On the banks of the
La Luna River, her mother, M’Dear, a woman of rapture and love, teaches Calla
compassion, and passes on to her the art of healing through the humble womanly
art of “fixing hair.” At her mother’s side, Calla further learns that this same touch
of hands on the human body can quiet her own soul. It is also on the banks of
the La Luna River that Calla encounters sweet, innocent, succulent first love, with
a boy named Tuck.
But when Tuck leaves Calla with a broken heart, she transforms hurt into
inspiration and heads for the wild and colorful city of New Orleans to study
cosmetology at L’Académie de Beauté...

Jack Foley, the charming bank robber in Out of Sight, is serving a thirty-year
sentence in a Miami penitentiary, but he’s made an unlikely friend on the inside
who just might be able to do something about that. Fellow inmate Cundo Rey, an
extremely wealthy Cuban criminal, arranges for Foley’s sentence to be reduced
from thirty years to three months, and when Jack is released just two weeks
ahead of Cundo, he agrees to wait for him in Venice Beach, California.
Also waiting for Cundo is his common-law wife, Dawn Navarro, a professional
psychic with a slightly ulterior motive for staying with Cundo: namely, she wants
his money. And with the arrival of Jack, she sees the perfect partner in a plan to
relieve Cundo of his fortune. Cundo may be Jack’s friend, but does that mean he
can trust him? And can either of them trust Dawn?
Road Dogs is Elmore Leonard at his best—with his trademark tight plotting and
pitch perfect dialogue—and readers will love seeing Cundo, Jack, and Dawn back
in action and working together . . . or are they?

On Sale:5/4/2010
When Bill Russell joined the Boston Celtics in 1956 as America's first prominent
black basketball star, his expectations were low. Despite carrying his college
team to two consecutive national championships and the U.S. Olympic team to a
gold medal, his self-taught, unconventional style was lost on coaches who
vainly tried to change him. But Red Auerbach, the brash, Brooklyn-Jewish
outsider in Irish-Catholic Boston, met him on common ground. They forged a
unique chemistry as co-workers, battling ignorance and prejudice, and created
the greatest professional sports dynasty in history.
Their unprecedented achievement on the court, though, was surpassed by
something even more momentous: a lifelong friendship. When Auerbach passed
away in October 2006, Russell remained silent-as always-about their
relationship. Here, for the first time, he offers a profound tribute to a singular
friend that transcends history and sports and provides a compelling,
inspirational glimpse into the nature of true friendship.

It is written in an unknown language and illustrated with enigmatic drawings.
First surfacing in the court of Rudolph II of Bohemia, the Voynich Manuscript has
developed a global cult following of cryptographers, none of whom has been able
to crack its code.
But rumours abound. The Bohemian court also gave refuge to two of the
greatest, and most controversial, scientific minds of all time. Is there a connection
between Voynich and the brilliant scientists? Could the manuscript perhaps be
codified findings, written in a special language to conceal scientific discoveries
from the Church and its brutal Inquisition? When a key to unlocking Voynich is
discovered in the church where Hector, a young Jesuit priest, teaches, he
suddenly finds himself at the center of a centuries-old mystery.
Filled with science, history, religion and philosophy, The Book of God and Physics is
as much a thrilling page-turner as it is a true-life puzzle.

Yrsa Sigurdardóttir’s series featuring Thóra Gudmundsdóttir, a smart sexy lawyer
and single mother of two, has taken the international thriller community by storm,
with rights sales in 31 countries and rave reviews across the nation. In this
second novel Thóra is once again pulled into a darker side of Iceland’s history as
she hunts for a savage killer.
When the body of a young woman is found at a new age health resort in a
recently renovated—and possibly haunted—farmhouse, the prime suspect, the
resort’s new owner, hires the young lawyer to investigate. The ghostly claims
surrounding the property complicate Thóra’s search for clues, and when she
discovers long-buried information on the property’s less than savory history, her
once unshakable view of reality begins to waver. Are the hauntings real, or is
someone trying to destroy the resort? Does the farm’s macabre past have
something to do with the murder? When another body, eerily similar to the first,
is discovered, Thóra must confront the horrors of the present before a twisted
killer strikes again.

It’s fall 1943, and Rosie Winter and her best friend Jayne are back from their
USO stint in the South Pacific. But before heading to New York City they go
upstate to visit the home of Jayne’s recently deceased fiance, or at least what
they believe was his home. The visit was supposed to provide Jayne with a
chance to say goodbye to the man she loved, but instead both women are left
wondering if he ever existed to begin with.
As Rosie searches for the truth behind his identity—and a way to help heal
Jayne’s broken heart—she faces an unpleasant homecoming of her own. New
York has changed and memories of the South Pacific haunt her. The
newspapers are filled with tales of saboteurs infiltrating the East Coast. Her ex,
Jack Castlegate, is also back in Manhattan, nursing severe war injuries, under
scrutiny for desertion, and engaged to a gorgeous WAC private who wants
Rosie to be her new best friend. Rosie and Jayne’s pal Al is in hiding and no one
seems willing to help him out. And both girls find themselves blacklisted from
the New York theater scene without explanation.

Larry Feldman desperately needed a kidney. After two god-awful years on
dialysis, watching his life ebb away while waiting on a transplant list behind
74,000 other Americans, the gun-toting couch potato decided to risk everything
and travel to China, the controversial kingdom of organ transplants. But Larry
urgently needed his cousin Daniel’s help…even though they have been on the
outs with each other for years.
Sure, Chinese law forbids transplants to Westerners, but that didn’t faze Larry.
He was confident he could shake out a single pre-loved kidney from the country’s
1.3 billion people. But wait: Larry was never one to not get his money’s worth.
Since he was already shelling out for a trip to China, he decided to make it a
twofer: He arranged to pick up an (e-)mail-order bride while he was at it. After a
tireless search on the Internet, he already knew the woman he wanted.
Backed by a quarter-million-dollar disability settlement (was it the icicle falling on
his head or the truck rear-ending him?) and armed with an all-purpose letter of
recommendation from a devoted nun, Larry ventured forth from his Florida condo
on an unlikely search for life...

"Progression equals time. Time equals death.” Suffering from a debilitating
form of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, handsome, athletic 24-year-old Ed Zine
was consumed with these two thoughts. His illogical mind told him that if going
forward in time moved him closer to death, reversing the action would carry him
away from it. Trapped in a ritualistic nightmare, it would take him nearly 10
hours to make the 16,384 precise movements forward and backward to get
from his bed to the bathroom in the basement of his father’s house in Cape Cod
where he lived. Spiraling downward, Zine had little hope. And then he met

Yet nothing seemed to work until the day the exhausted doctor broke down in

Dismantlement = Freedom
Henry, Tess, Winnie, and Suz banded together in college to form a group they
called the Compassionate Dismantlers. Following the first rule of their
manifesto—“To understand the nature of a thing, it must be taken apart”—these
daring misfits spend the summer after graduation in a remote cabin in the
Vermont woods committing acts of meaningful vandalism and plotting elaborate,
often dangerous, pranks. But everything changes when one particularly twisted
experiment ends in Suz’s death and the others decide to cover it up.
Nearly a decade later, Henry and Tess are living just an hour’s drive from the old
cabin. Each is desperate to move on from the summer of the Dismantlers, but
their guilt isn’t ready to let them go. When a victim of their past pranks commits
suicide—apparently triggered by a mysterious Dismantler-style postcard—it sets
off a chain of eerie events that threatens to engulf Henry, Tess, and their
inquisitive nine-year-old daughter, Emma. Is there someone who wants to reveal
their secrets? Is it possible that Suz did not really die—or has she somehow
found a way back to seek revenge?

After her boss in a high-powered Washington public relations firm is caught in a
political scandal, fledgling lobbyist Dempsey Jo Killebrew is left almost broke,
unemployed, and homeless. Out of options, she reluctantly accepts her father’s
offer to help refurbish Birdsong, the old family place he recently inherited in
Guthrie, Georgia. All it will take, he tells her, is a little paint and some TLC to turn
the fading Victorian mansion into a real-estate cash cow.
But, oh, is Dempsey in for a surprise when she arrives in Guthrie. “Bird Droppings”
would more aptly describe the moldering Pepto Bismol–pink dump with ducttaped windows and a driveway full of junk. There’s also a murderously grumpy
old lady, one of Dempsey’s distant relations, who has claimed squatter’s rights
and isn’t moving out. Ever.
Furthermore, everyone in Guthrie seems to know Dempsey’s business, from a
smooth-talking real-estate agent to a cute lawyer who owns the local

1,000 Things to Love About America is a joyful celebration of a nation that the
Pilgrims described as “a shining city upon a hill” and that Lincoln called “the last,
best hope of mankind.” The four journalists who wrote 1,000 Years, 1,000 People,
which USA Today called “a fascinating history less and conversation topic,” now
team up again to pay unabashed tribute to the greatness of our country. The
thousand entries include a broad mix of wholly American concepts, institutions,
inventions, historical documents, social trends, cultural icons, geographical
wonders, and consumer products. They range from the Constitution and Mount
Rushmore to backyard decks and Internet shopping, from baseball and poker to
Ultimate Frisbee and the Superbowl, from the Fifth Amendment and Freedom of
the Press to Hollywood Sirens and Sesame Street. Pithy, accessible, illuminating
and always entertaining, 1,000 Things to Love About America serves as an
unapologetic assertion that the U.S.A. is an amazing place to call home,
highlighting both history and fascinating trivia along the way.

But selling sex is never easy. Insatiable clients, mob extortion, and a federal

Normally a peaceful wilderness retreat, the Jackalberry bush camp has suddenly
become a ghastly crime scene-and the details are still emerging when Detective
David “Kubu” Bengu is assigned to the case. Zimbabwean teacher Goodluck
Tinubu and another tourist have been found bludgeoned to death, while another
guest at the camp—rumored to be a dissident wanted in Zimbabwe—has
disappeared and can't be traced.
With the local police unable-or unwilling-to provide much assistance, Detective
Kubu relies on his own instincts to track down those responsible for the crimes.
But a startling piece of forensic evidence from Goodluck Tinubu’s murder adds a
complicated twist to the investigation, and Kubu must work fast to solve a
seemingly impossible riddle before any more Jackalberry guests meet their death.
Suspecting that everyone at the camp has something to hide, the wily detective
from Gaborone sets a clever trap to find the truth.
The memorable Kubu of A Carrion Death returns in this gripping story of murder,
greed, and hidden motives.
Set in northern Botswana, amid lush vegetation and teeming wildlife, The Second
Death of Goodluck Tinubu captures the intense loyalties and struggles taking place
at the country’s borders-and...

With a keen eye for human connection and universal feelings of longing, Alix
Strauss presents nuanced portraits of eight seemingly ordinary women as they
grapple with family, sex, power, love, and death. Each one is lonely, strong, and
driven—and when pushed to the edge, must fight for her life as she struggles to
become the woman she wants to be. The result is an utterly original read, with
Strauss' unique style touching on dark themes and light prose.

Washburn’s remarkable achievements—including nine first ascents of North
American peaks—would stamp him not only as one of a kind, but as one of a kind
they don’t make anymore. In addition to his prowess as a mountaineer and
photographer, Washburn was also a renowned surveyor and cartographer,
producing maps of little-known terrain—the Grand Canyon, Mt. McKinley, and Mt.
Everest—that surpassed those that came before.
Roberts introduces the people who would play important roles in this legendary
man’s experiences, re-creates his enthralling journeys to some of the most
remote and beautifully wild places on earth, and provides a fascinating look at an
amazing culture and the influential icon who shaped it.

In 1995, plainclothes police officer Michael Cox was brutally beaten by his fellow
cops when he was mistaken for a murder suspect he was pursuing. While the
attack occurred, officer Kenny Conley was also hunting the actual suspected killer.
Afterwards, as Cox waited for an apology from his department, federal
investigators were accusing Conley of lying when he denied witnessing the
beating. Both men had dedicated their lives to serving the Boston Police
Department and when they needed its support, they were abandoned and
betrayed.
Based on extensive interviews, The Fence tells the shocking story of the attack,
reveals the cover-up by police officers beholden to a blue wall of silence, and
explores the repercussions on the lives of those involved. Told as a courtroom
drama, it follows Cox’s 1998 federal civil rights trial against the BPD and features
a diverse cast of characters, including the victims, their families, the officers
accused in the beating, city officials, and the murder suspect that Conley chased
and caught. And at the center of this disturbing story is the city of Boston itself, a
town still shadowed by its troubled racial history.

There had never before been a war on the scale of World War II. The sheer size
of the conflict and the immense scope of a single battlefield, multiplied the effects
of both brilliant and bad decisions. When millions of men are attacking in a
Russian offensive or thousands of aircraft are dueling in the skies over Europe,
every key decision had dramatic, and often disastrous, results.
The author of How to Lose a Battle and How to Lose a War introduces the
catastrophic missteps, including:
Poland’s lack of preparation for the Nazi invasion
Germany's failure to take Britain out of the war at Dunkirk
Russia playing Goliath to Finland’s David
Allied forces getting trapped for four months on the beaches of Anzio
Germany wasting its costly development of jet power.

Bristol, England, 1767. Two young elephants, a brother and a sister, arrive from
India half dead. They are bought by a local sugar merchant, who appoints
sensitive and astute 12-year-old Tom their keeper. Living in the lush English
countryside, the elephants, now named Jenny and Timothy, recover their health
and spirits. After several happy years, both because they are so expensive to
keep and because of the behavior of the male elephant, they are sold to different
members of the English aristocracy. Tom chooses to stay with Jenny, now
ensconced in the magnificent country estate owned by Lord Bidborough.
While their surroundings are beautiful and their life idyllic, Tom and Jenny cannot
forget Timothy and are fearful of his fate. But soon their tranquillity is shattered,
for Lord Bidborough’s son arrives to set in motion a series of shocking events.
Deeply soulful and richly imaginative, this beautiful, critically acclaimed story is a

the other car ran the stop sign. But Alison, feeling alone and estranged from her
husband, Charlie, is suffocated by grief and guilt.
A man with his own secrets, Charlie endures a long commute to a boring job so
that Alison can stay home with the kids. The only thing that keeps him going
these days is the thought of another woman—the only woman he has ever truly
loved.
Claire is everything her best friend, Alison, is not. Vibrant and ambitious, she’s
just had her first novel published and is married to Ben, a successful architect.
Everything is going right—so why can’t she stop thinking about what it would
mean to have a different kind of life?
Passionate about his work, Ben is living the New York dream, but what he
yearns for is a house and family—the kind of life his friends Charlie and Alison
have.
Alternating through these four intertwined perspectives, Bird in Hand is a
thought-provoking exploration of lies, betrayals, and unexpected twists that can

than to settle down with her lover, William of Caen, and to reveal to his ward
Francis that she is his mother. But intrigue is afoot in the palace: two monks have
arrived from Rome on a mission to compel her brother Philippe, the king, to help
them battle a dangerous breakaway Christian sect in the south known as the
Cathars.
Tensions are pushed to the brink when the St. John Cup, a relic much prized by
the Cathars, is stolen, and then young Francis goes missing. Frantic for his safety,
Alaïs will risk life and limb to find the boy. Donning a disguise, the royal princess
must outwit cunning enemies and make her way into unfamiliar territory to save
her son, and maybe prevent her beloved France from a bloody holy war.

May, 1935. Josephine Tey has traveled to Cornwall to spend the summer with her
friends, the Motleys, at their family home-a struggling and run-down but beautiful
country estate on a magnificent stretch of coastline. Exhausted and disillusioned
with the world of theater, Tey is ready to begin work on her second mystery
novel. She finds much to inspire her in the landscape and its legends, particularly
the stories she hears about a lake on the estate that is said to claim a life every
seven years. Meanwhile, the Motleys-much against their better judgment-have
become involved in an amateur production at the nearby Minack Theater.
Detective Inspector Archie Penrose has returned to his roots in Cornwall to
attend the funeral of a family friend, a young estate worker who has died in a
tragic riding accident, about which circumstances Penrose has a few questions.
When the Minack Theater proves to be the stage for a real-life tragedy and an
audacious murder, he and Tey must together face an evil that suggests there
may be darker things than death.

Sotheby’s. New York City. June 19, 1990.
Nothing of its kind had been sold to the public in more than a century. On a warm
June evening on Manhattan’s Upper East Side, history was made when an
anonymous man in a green golf sweater paid an unprecedented three quarters of
a million dollars to win the twenty-five-hundred-year-old chalice. After that night,
this historical artifact disappeared, its whereabouts a mystery. Until now.
Lost for more than two millennia, the chalice—one of only six of its kind found
intact—mysteriously surfaced in the collection of a Hollywood producer, who then
sold it to a Texas billionaire. Coveted by obsessed private collectors, dealers, and
museum curators, it was also of intense interest to the Italian police, who
believed it belonged to their country, where it had first been dug up earlier in the
twentieth century.
In this breathtaking tale of history, adventure, and intrigue, archaeologist and
journalist Vernon Silver pieces together the extraordinary tale of the lost cup and
offers a portrait of the modern antiquities trade: a world of tomb raiders,
smugglers, wealthy collectors, ambitious archaeologists, rapacious dealers,
corrupt curators, and international law enforcement....

Curtis Ebbesmeyer is no ordinary scientist. He’s been a consulting oceanographer
for multinational firms and a lead scientist on international research expeditions,
but he’s never held a conventional academic appointment. He seized the world’s
imagination as no ordinary scientist could when he and his worldwide network of
beachcomber volunteers traced the ocean’s currents using thousands of
sneakers and plastic bath toys spilled from storm-tossed freighters.
Now, for the first time, Ebbesmeyer tells the story of his lifelong struggle to solve
the sea’s mysteries, and shares his most surprising discoveries. He recounts how
flotsam has changed the course of history—leading Viking mariners to safe
harbors, Columbus to the New World, and Japan to open up to the West—and
how it may even have made the origin of life possible. He explores the vast
floating “garbage patches” and waste-heaped “junk beaches” that collect the
flotsam and jetsam of industrial society. Finally, he reveals the music-like
mathematical order in oceanic gyres and the threats that global warming and
disintegrating plastic waste pose to the seas . . . and to us.

Womenomics

more life.”

Relegating the “all or nothing,” mommy-wars mentality to the 20th century,
Womenomics offers a revolutionary new take on the largely hidden power that
women have in the marketplace. Why now? Simple market forces. Companies
with more women managers are more profitable, so women are topping every
company’s most wanted list these days just as a labor shortage is looming. At the
same time, the workforce at large is demanding to work in new ways.
But Womenomics is more than a marshalling of extraordinary evidence. It also
shows women how to take advantage of this historical moment by crafting highoctane careers that don’t require all-or-nothing lifestyles. Most appealing, though,
are the refreshingly candid anecdotes from Shipman’s and Kay’s lives. They also
share the stories of other professional women struggling with the same
issues—women who’ve taken counterintuitive steps in their careers but who’ve
carved out rewarding work-life scenarios. More than anything, the message of the
book empowers and inspires.

After spending a year taking care of baby elephants in Africa, Neelie Sterling is
reluctantly returning to her life back in the States. A life filled with exes—an exboyfriend, an ex-husband, an ex-house, and an ex-horse. But first she’s on a
mission to save a special elephant targeted for execution in Zimbabwe, with the
help of a newly made friend, an eccentric safari operator named Diamond-Rose
Tremaine.
Neelie and Diamond-Rose manage to buy some time for their elephant and land
in New York, eager to raise funds for his rescue, but there are obstacles at every
turn. They must navigate the jungle of long forgotten table manners, sleeping in
real beds, and Neelie’s loving but overbearing family. Though she desperately
needs the help of her ex-boyfriend Tom, a wealthy conservationist who was
instrumental in her first elephant rescue, Neelie’s pride prevents her from taking
any of his advice. But the clock is ticking. Can Neelie put aside her feelings in time
to save the life of a beautiful and majestic animal?

In recent decades, some of the world’s best and brightest have devoted
countless hours to understanding management—what works, and what doesn’t.
There are more than 1500 credible schools offering master's degrees in business
administration around the world, at least a hundred magazines and newspapers
devoted to the subject, and more than three thousand new books on the topic
each year. What’s been missing is a simple and convenient way to disseminate
the best ideas and practices to managers everywhere, at all levels and in all
kinds of industries and organizations—a group of people who, by definition, lead
very busy lives.
The Wall Street Journal Essential Guide to Management is an effort to remedy that
problem by drawing the best from the existing body of knowledge and research,
and to summarize it in one place, in a simple, clear, and useful way. If you are a
new manager, or even an experienced manager, you’ll want to read this book

managers, and offers suggestions for further reading on each topic. While not...

It was an inconceivable deception: over $65 billion stolen in the world’s largest
Ponzi scheme.
With new and revealing interviews with those who worked closest to him and his
family, Betrayal is an in-depth, penetrating look at the man who perpetrated
history’s most notorious financial crime.
Despite the crush of media attention on Madoff’s scam, little is known about
Madoff himself. What could lead a seemingly good man to ruin the lives of
everyone who ever cared about him? What caused Bernie Madoff to commit an
unspeakable act of betrayal, bankrupting his family, his friends, his mentors, and
thousands of investors who depended upon him for their livelihoods?
Betrayal: The Life and Lies of Bernie Madoff is about the man who realized that he
could have everything he wanted if he simply lied to the people who trusted him
the most. Author Andrew Kirtzman tracked down more than a hundred people
from Madoff’s past, pored over thousands of pages of court records; private emails; phone-conversation transcripts; and census, military, and immigration
records. The result is a fascinating story about the rise of a deeply immoral man.

Surgeons have long been known for their allergy to doubt, an unsurprising trait
in professionals who must play God, routinely risking someone else’s life in
order to do their job. But in this illuminating memoir, Gabriel Weston reveals her
emotions, passions, and doubts, normally hidden just behind the surgeon’s
mask.
As well as being a surgeon, Weston is a writer of extraordinary gifts. Her voice
is compassionate and truthful, telling us what it’s like to stand in an operating
room holding someone’s neck open for seven hours, or what happens when the
line between the personal and the professional begins to blur, or about the
shame of watching a patient die. Interweaving her own story with those of her
patients, old and young, Weston evokes both the humor and the heartbreak
that come of medicine’s daily confrontation with the ultimate unknowability of
the human body. With prose that never flinches from the raw, graphic realities
of a surgeon’s day, Weston confronts life, death, and the unique difficulties of
being a female surgeon in a heavily male dominated profession.

Just in time for this year's heated Oscar race-Perennial offers a movie-tie-in
edition of Crazy Heart, the novel behind the much buzzed about film starring Jeff
Bridges, Maggie Gyllenhaal, and Robert Duvall.
Tom Cobb's acclaimed first novel Crazy Heart is the story of 57 year old Bad
Blake, a former country music star, now on his last legs. His weight, his heart,
his liver, even his pick-up truck are all giving him trouble. A renowned
songwriter and "picker" who hasn't recorded in five years, Bad now travels the
countryside on gigs that take him mostly to motels and bowling alleys. Enter
Ms. Right.
Addicted to alcohol and bad choices, Bad finally finds hope for a revived career
and for a better life. But redemption, he finds, is not easy. Full of poignant
characters cut from the heart of the American west, Thomas Cobb's highly
acclaimed Crazy Heart is perhaps "the finest country-western novel ever written,
bar none." (Houston Post).

Eitan Einoch, nicknamed Crocodile, is a thirtysomething Tel Aviv yuppie whose life
is turned upside down when he narrowly escapes a suicide bombing on his bus
ride to work. Two days later, he finds himself in a second attack, and then a third,
escaping unscathed from both. For this feat of luck, he is reluctantly turned into a
media celebrity. Naturally, the Palestinian terrorists who had organized the
attacks are less than happy about this.
Meanwhile, Fahmi Sabih, a young Palestinian suicide bomber with a conscience, is
lying in a coma, quarrelling with fate. His brother had taught him everything: how
to build bombs, how to choose a target, how to take revenge against those who
steal your land. Yet why has Eitan Einoch survived these perfectly planned
attacks? As Fahmi tells his story, it becomes clear there is one more bombing to
come—one that will involve both Fahmi and Eitan.
Fast, funny, and steeped in today’s politics, Crocattack is part black comedy, part
thriller, and a stunning look into the lives of two very different men from the same
generation.

In this groundbreaking epic biography, Douglas Brinkley draws on never-beforepublished materials to examine the life and achievements of Theodore Roosevelt,
our “naturalist president,” who, by setting aside more than 230 million acres of
wild America for posterity between 1901 and 1909, made conservation a
universal endeavor.
Tracing the role that nature played in Roosevelt’s storied career, Brinkley
illuminates Roosevelt’s bird watching in the Adirondacks, wildlife obsession in
Yellowstone, hikes in the Blue Ridge Mountains, ranching in the Dakota Territory,
hunting in the Big Horn Mountains, and outdoor romps through Idaho and
Wyoming. He also profiles Roosevelt’s incredible circle of naturalist friends, and
brings to life hilarious anecdotes of wild-pig hunting in Texas and badger saving
in Kansas, wolf catching in Oklahoma and grouse flushing in Iowa. Even the story
of the teddy bear gets its definitive treatment.
Destined to become a classic, this extraordinary and timeless biography offers a
penetrating and colorful look at Roosevelt’s naturalist achievements, a legacy
now more important than ever. As we face the problems of global warming,
overpopulation, and sustainable land management, this imposing leader’s stout
resolution to protect our environment is an inspiration and a contemporary call

Predictably Irrational demonstrates how irrationality manifests itself in situations
(often very peculiar and hilarious) where rational thought is expected. In this
astounding book, groundbreaking in scope and totally original, Dan Ariely cuts
to the heart of our strange behaviors and presents outstanding material that
will keep every reader transfixed. He explains why honor codes are actually
effective in reducting dishonesty in the workplace, why a 50-cent aspirin can
cure a headache that a one-cent aspirin cannot, and, ultimately, why we make
decisions contrary to our better judgement.

Florence Forrest lives in Millwood, a town like any other in the South in 1963:
segregated, with Millwood proper the white part and Shake Rag the “colored”
side of town. Florence’s father is a burial insurance salesman and a ne’er-do-well
with dark secrets. Her mother, the local cake lady, is stuck in a marriage that has
strayed far from her educated and liberal upbringing, making secret trips to the
local bootlegger.
This leaves Florence with Zenie, her grandparents' longtime maid. Zenie, named
for Zenobia, Queen of Palmyra, drags Florence around and generally thinks of the
girl as just another chore. As Florence spends more and more time in Zenie’s
home in Shake Rag, she develops a sense for how race truly divides her town,
but nothing prepares her for what happens when Zenie’s niece, the vibrant
college student Eva Green, comes to stay for the summer. Soon Florence, who
has moved fluidly between two families, between two races, finds herself stuck in
the middle, a witness to the brutality and the truth of her times, in Minrose Gwin’s
astonishing and moving novel.

If soccer is the global game nowhere is it more so than Africa. In every city, town,
village, and camp, you will find children kicking a homemade soccer ball, young
men gathered round a TV to watch the latest premier league match, spirited
debates on whose side is fittest, and a rainbow of jerseys in support of the
world’s greatest clubs. But in Africa, soccer is not just for the common man. Here
more than anywhere soccer is inextricably linked to politics. Leaders in Sudan
hijack their football’s team’s successes as their own; politicians in Angola use
their new-found oil wealth to build Africa’s richest club; Kenya’s prime minister
bolsters his leadership every time the national team wins.
In Africa, soccer is a sport of influence, a politcally saturated chess match, a game
that can end wars—Ivory Coast’s civil war ended when the national team
qualified for the 2006 World Cup—but also start them.
Steve Bloomfield, the former Africa Correspondent for The Independent, has
travelled to more than twenty African nations. In Africa United, he relates
poignant stories from his travels and follows the qualification campaign for...

Houston, Texas, 1981. Jay Porter is hardly the lawyer he set out to be. His most
promising client is a low-rent call girl and he runs his fledgling law practice out of
a dingy strip mall. But he's long since made peace with not living the American
Dream and carefully tucked away his darkest sins: the guns, the FBI file, the trial
that nearly destroyed him.
That is, until the night in a boat out on the bayou when he impulsively saves a
woman from drowning-and opens a Pandora's box. Her secrets put Jay in danger,
ensnaring him in a murder investigation that could cost him his practice, his family,
and even his life. But before he can get to the bottom of a tangled mystery that
reaches into the upper echelons of Houston's corporate power brokers, Jay must
confront the demons of his past.
With pacing that captures the reader from the first scene through an exhilarating
climax, Black Water Rising is a compelling legal thriller that marks the arrival of an
electrifying new talent.

Faced with thirty-seven acres of fallen fences and overgrown fields surrounding
his rickety Wisconsin farmhouse, and informed by his pregnant wife that she
intends to deliver their baby at home, Michael Perry plumbs his unorthodox
childhood—his city-bred parents took in sixty-some foster children while running a
ramshackle dairy farm—for clues to how to proceed as a farmer, a husband, and a
father.
Whether Perry is recalling his childhood (“I first perceived my father as a farmer
the night he drove home with a giant lactating Holstein tethered to the bumper of
his Ford Falcon”) or what it’s like to be bitten in the butt while wrestling a pig
(“two firsts in one day”), Coop is filled with humor. But Perry also writes from the
quieter corners of his heart, chronicling experiences as joyful as the birth of his
child and as devastating as the death of a dear friend.
Alternately hilarious, tender, and as real as pigs in mud, Coop is suffused with a
contemporary desire to reconnect with the earth, with neighbors, with meaning. .
. and with chickens.

On May 14, 1948, under the stewardship of President Harry S. Truman, the United
States became the first nation to recognize the State of Israel-just moments after
sovereignty had been declared in Jerusalem. But it was hardly a foregone
conclusion that America would welcome the creation of this new country. While
acknowledging this as one of his proudest moments, Truman also admitted that
no issue was "more controversial or more complex than the problem of Israel."

Cannato captures a time and a place unparalleled in American immigration and
history, and articulates the dramatic and bittersweet accounts of the immigrants,
officials, interpreters, and social reformers who all play an important role in Ellis
Island’s chronicle. He traces the politics, prejudices, and ideologies that
surrounded the great immigration debate, the shift from immigration to detention
of aliens during World War II and the Cold War, and the rebirth of the island as a
national monument.
Long after Ellis Island ceased to be the nation’s preeminent immigrant inspection
station, the debates that once swirled around it are still relevant to Americans. In
this sweeping, often heart-wrenching epic, Cannato reveals that its history is
ultimately the story of what it means to be an American.

Karl Taro Greenfeld knew from an early age that his little brother, Noah, was not
like other children. But no doctor, social worker, or specialist could pinpoint what
was wrong with Noah beyond a general diagnosis: autism. The boys' parents,
Josh and Foumi, dedicated their lives to caring for their younger son-a
challenging, often painful experience that the devoted father detailed in a
bestselling trilogy of books.
Now, for the first time, acclaimed journalist Karl Taro Greenfeld speaks out about
growing up in the shadow of his autistic brother, revealing the complex mix of
rage, confusion, and love that defined his childhood. Seamlessly weaving
together the social history of autism and autism research-as the Greenfelds lived
through it in seeking treatment for Noah-with the deeply affecting story of two
very different boys growing up side by side, Boy Alone is haunting, tragic, and
unforgettable, a beautiful, wholly original exploration of what it means to be a
family, a brother, and a person.

Masters and Commanders explores the degree to which the course of the Second
World War turned on the relationships and temperaments of four of the strongest
personalities of the twentieth century: political masters Winston Churchill and
Franklin D. Roosevelt and the commanders of their armed forces, General Sir Alan
Brooke and General George C. Marshall. Andrew Roberts, whom The Economist
calls “Britain’s finest contemporary military historian,” traces the mutual suspicion
and admiration, the rebuffs and the charm, the often-explosive disagreements
and wary reconciliations, and attempts to answer some of the key questions of
Allied strategy. Why, when the most direct route from Germany to Britain was
through northwestern France, did the Western Allies launch attacks via North
Africa, Sicily, and Rome? Why did the Allies not take Berlin, Vienna, or Prague and
allow the Iron Curtain to descend where it did?
Masters and Commanders dramatically recreates the atmosphere, debates, and
maneuverings through which Allied grand strategy was forged and reveals the
profound impact of personality upon history.

ambitious grandmother, the regal and commanding Paulina del Valle, she grows
up in a privileged environment, free of the limitations that circumscribe the lives of
women at that time, but tormented by horrible nightmares. When she is forced to

a rare moment, indeed, in modern fiction” (USA Today)
Somewhere between belief and doubt lies faith. For the second time in her
marriage, Mariah White catches her husband with another woman and Faith,
their seven year old daughter, witnesses every painful minute. In the aftermath
of a sudden divorce, Mariah struggles with depression and Faith seeks solace in
a new friend—a friend who may or may not be imaginary.
Faith talks to her “Guard” constantly, and begins to recite passages from the
Bible—a book she’s never read. Fearful for her daughter’s sanity, Mariah sends
her to several psychiatrists. Yet when Faith develops stigmata and begins to
perform miraculous healings, Mariah wonders if her daughter—a girl with no
religious background—might indeed be seeing God. As word spreads and
controversy heightens, Mariah and Faith are besieged by believers and
disbelievers alike, caught in a media circus that threatens what little stability
they have left.
Fascinating, thoughtful, and suspenseful, Keeping Faith explores a family
plagued by the media, the medical profession, and organized religion in a world

Gary Irvine has a beautiful wife who refuses to have sex with him. To allay his
frustrations, he shoves his heart, soul, and cash into the gaping maw of an even
more dismissive mistress: golf. Yet despite his best efforts, his game is wretched:
the ball defies him, the hole eludes him, and he’s often moved to shameful
blubbering in the men’s locker room after particularly nasty rounds. Until one day,
taking a lesson from a friend of his late father, a moment of zen comes upon him
and a movement of grace sends his ball flying in a classic draw, onto the green,
and into the hole; and then everything goes black.
After waking up from a coma a few weeks later, with nothing worse than a golfball-sized dent in his temple, Gary returns to the course to find that he cannot do
wrong. The head trauma seemingly imprinted that last perfect swing on his brain.
However, Gary’s perfect swing seems to have come with an audible tick—a
stream of muttered expletives pours from Gary’s mouth as if it poured from the
River Styx. In a stressful golf match his cursing only worsens, and in fact evolves
into another troubling symptom:...

Isabel Allende's first novel to be set in the United States and to portray American
characters, The Infinite Plan is a vivid tale of one man's search for love, and his
struggle to come to terms with a childhood of poverty and neglect. As he journeys
from the Hispanic barrio in Los Angeles to the killing fields of Vietnam to the
frenetic life of a lawyer in San Francisco, Gregory Reeves loses himself in an
illusory and wrongheaded quest. Only when he circles back to his roots does he
find the love and acceptance he has been searching for.

“A wonderfully bizarre and entertaining memoir of jailhouse redemption—by turns
hilarious, astonishing, and, when all is said...
Neil White, a journalist and magazine publisher, wanted the best for those he
loved—nice cars, beautiful homes, luxurious clothes. He loaned money to family
and friends, gave generously to his church, and invested in his community—but
his bank account couldn’t keep up. Soon White began moving money from one
account to another to avoid bouncing checks. His world fell apart when the FBI
discovered his scheme and a judge sentenced him to serve eighteen months in
a federal prison.

But it was no ordinary prison. The beautiful, isolated colony in Carville,
Louisiana, was also home to the last people in the continental United States
disfigured by leprosy. Hidden away for decades, this small circle of outcasts had
forged a tenacious, clandestine community, a fortress to repel the cruelty of the
outside world. It is here, in a place rich with history, where the Mississippi River
briefly runs north, amid an unlikely mix of leprosy patients, nuns, and criminals,
that White’s strange and compelling journey begins, a journey on which he
rediscovers the value of simplicity, friendship, and gratitude. Funny and

“If you left me, I would fade out like a dying Indian tribe. I’d disappear like the ivorybilled woodpecker. They’d see me, near the end, standing down on Calle Cinquo

Billy Brent and Alice Stephens are star-crossed like all great lovers. Their need for
each other drives them from Istanbul to Miami, Venice to Mexico, with existential
breaks and jail time in between. After run-ins with boy preachers, serial killers,
lonely women, sea-faring criminals, and, of course, the Law, Billy and Alice find
themselves lost deep in a desert wilderness, searching for a way forward, finding
that sometimes the trail simply forks.
Dark, funny, smart—and, surprisingly, hopelessly romantic—Three Delays is an
ambitious, often satiric novel by one of our great American writers and presents a
unique opportunity to introduce Charlie Smith to a new generation of readers.
Hailed as a writer of “appalling brilliance” by Lorrie Moore on the front page of the

Delilah Blue has always been a bit of an outsider, ever since she moved from
Toronto to Los Angeles when she was eight. Twenty now and desperate to
become an artist like her long-lost mother but unable to pay for classes, Delilah
does something nearly unthinkable. She takes a job as an art model, peeling off
her clothes for a classroom full of students so she can learn from the professors
as the students draw parts she’d much rather keep under wraps.
Her only real companion in life is her father, a dapper, single salesman. But as
he’s entered his mid-50s, his personality seems to be changing. He forgets simple
tasks and is often disoriented, signs that he is going through early-onset
Alzheimer’s. The disease presents just as Delilah’s long-estranged mother, who
Delilah always believed abandoned the family, re-enters the scene with a young
daughter in tow and reveals a secret about the past that will permanently change
their lives. Delilah must decide if her mother is the selfish woman she’s always
assumed left her behind or whether somewhere deep inside her father’s memory
is the truth behind the family’s separation.
Told with wit and poignancy, The Truth About Delilah Blue showcases Tish...

“A gripping, deeply relevant book.”
—New York Times Book Review
In 1863, as the War Between the States creeps slowly yet inevitably toward its
bloody conclusion, former Kentucky slave Britt Johnson ventures west into
unknown territory with his wife, Mary, and their three children. Settling on the
Texas plains, the Johnson family hopes to build on the dreams that carried them
from the Confederate South to this new land of possibility—dreams that are
abruptly shattered by a brutal Indian raid upon the settlement while Britt is
away establishing a business. Returning to face the unthinkable—his friends
and neighbors slain or captured, his eldest son dead, his beloved Mary severely
damaged and enslaved, and his remaining children absorbed into an alien
society that will never relinquish its hold on them—the heartsick freedman vows
not to rest until his family is whole again.
A soaring work of the imagination based on oral histories of the post–Civil War
years in North Texas, Paulette Jiles’s The Color of Lightning is at once an intimate
look into the hearts and hopes of tragically flawed human beings and a
courageous reexamination of a dark American history.

At the dawn of the twenty-first century, political correctness, cynicism,
pragmatism, and the commodification of sex have reduced romantic love to a
discredited myth or a recreational sport-"a cause for embarrassment," argues
Cristina Nehring. In her brilliantly researched first book, Nehring wrests romantic
love from the clutches of retrograde feminists and cutting-edge capitalists, thrillseeking convenience shoppers and safe-sex moralists. With help from celebrated
lovers ranging from Heloise and Abelard to Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera, and from
literature as diverse as Ovid's Art of Love and the poems of Emily Dickinson,
Nehring celebrates the wild, irreverent, and uncompromising models of love we
have inherited. As she rediscovers romantic love's fearless and heroic
provenance, she challenges readers to demand partnerships that fully engage
body, heart, and mind.
In an age when "settling" is encouraged and marriage is often described in
business terms, Nehring's passionate defense of romantic love is timely and
thoroughly refreshing. By reclaiming the right to love, to yearn, and-yes-to risk, A
Vindication of Love aims to establish a new romantic paradigm for a new century.

In April of 1846, Sarah Graves was 21 and in love with a young man who played
the violin. Soon they would marry and join her mother, father, and eight siblings
on the road to California-where tragedy awaited them.
Seven months after their departure, after joining a party of emigrants led by
George Donner, Sarah and her family arrived at Truckee Lake in the Sierra
Nevada Mountains just as the first heavy snows of the season closed the pass
ahead of them. When a series of desperate attempts to cross the mountains
failed, the party improvised cabins and slaughtered what remained of their
emaciated livestock. But by early December they were beginning to starve. So
Sarah and 14 other relatively young, healthy people set out for California on footand endured almost unfathomable hardships and horrors.
In this gripping narrative, Daniel James Brown takes the reader along on every
painful footstep of Sarah's journey with the Donner party. Along the way, he
weaves into the story revealing insights garnered from a variety of modern
scientific perspectives-psychology, physiology, forensics, and archaeologyproducing a tale that is not only spellbinding...

What He’s Poised to Do is a diverse and moving collection of witty, innovative,
often haunting stories about love, infidelity, and the vanishing art of letter
writing from acclaimed novelist and New Yorker editor Ben Greenman, whom
Time Out New York has hailed as “the love child of Paul Auster and John
Hodgman” for his urbane yet soulful, sometimes arch, always surprising fiction.
This collection—which had its origins in a boxed limited edition of seven stories
published by a small press last year—is expanded here into a rich and diverse
selection of fourteen stories that range widely over time and space, but which
are united by a shared sense of yearning and a concern with connections
missed and lost. From the brief, intriguing title story, which opens the collection;
to “Hope,” the hilarious and mournful saga of a young Cuban man’s quixotic
devotion to a woman he may never have met; to the wistful and elegiac “What
We Believe But Cannot Praise,” the stories demonstrate Greenman’s maturity
as a chronicler of romantic angst both contemporary and timeless—and as an
explorer of the ways our yearning for connection informs our selves and souls.

Clarence Darrow had been one of the most revered lawyers in the country, but in
1924 his reputation was still clouded after a narrow escape from a charge of jury
tampering in Los Angeles. At the age of 67 he thought his life and career were
almost over, until he was offered an impossible assignment-the defense of the
teenage "thrill killers" Nathan Leopold and Richard Loeb. Darrow then went on to
earn even more international acclaim in two other groundbreaking, "trial of the
century" cases: a classic standoff against William Jennings Bryan in the Scopes
Monkey Trial in Tennessee, and the Ossian Sweet murder trial in Detroit.
But these trials, as important as they were to Darrow, were not the only events
that helped rejuvenate him and seal his courtroom legacy. There was also his
enduring relationship with Mary Field Parton, his lover and soul mate. With
fascinating new research and discoveries, including her private journals and
letters, The Last Trials of Clarence Darrow is an intimate and riveting depiction of
this American icon, one of the greatest lawyers this country has ever seen.

America reunited and began to form the world power of the twentieth century.
Lears vividly captures imperialists, Gilded Age mavericks, and vaudeville
entertainers, and illuminates the roles played by a variety of seekers, male and
female, from populist farmers to avant-garde artists and writers to progressive
reformers. Some were motivated by their own visions of Christianity; all were
swept up in longings for revitalization.
In these years marked by wrenching social conflict and vigorous political debate,
a modern America emerged and came to dominance on a world stage.
Illuminating and authoritative, Rebirth of a Nation brilliantly weaves the
remarkable story of this crucial epoch into a masterful work of history.

It's Our Turn to Eat

In January 2003, Kenya-seen as the most stable country in Africa-was hailed as a
model of democracy after the peaceful election of its new president, Mwai Kibaki.
By appointing respected longtime reformer John Githongo as anticorruption czar,
the new Kikuyu government signaled its determination to end the corrupt
practices that had tainted the previous regime. Yet only two years later, Githongo
himself was on the run, having discovered that the new administration was
ruthlessly pillaging public funds.
Michela Wrong's account of how a pillar of the establishment turned whistleblower, becoming simultaneously one of the most hated and admired men in
Kenya, grips like a political thriller. At the same time, by exploring the factors that
continue to blight Africa-ethnic favoritism, government corruption, and the smug
complacency of Western donor nations-It's Our Turn to Eat probes the very roots
of the continent's predicament in a story that no one concerned with our global
future can afford to miss.

Alaska is a place where know-how is currency and a novice's mistakes can kill
you. An extreme landscape in both its beauty and challenges, the state is
nicknamed "The Last Frontier" with good reason.
But the state has also always been a place for reinvention, a refuge as much for
those desperate to escape something as for those on a quest for something else.
In Tide, Feather, Snow, Miranda Weiss, a young woman who grew up landlocked in
well-kept East Coast suburbs, moves with her boyfriend to Homer, Alaska. At first,
she struggles to make a place for herself in this unfamiliar country. But ultimately,
Weiss learns the skills to survive on her own, from setting a fishing net to
befriending the locals, from jarring rosehip butter to skinning a sea otter.
Weiss's keenly observed prose introduces readers to the memorable people and
peculiar beauty of Alaska's vast landscape and takes readers on her personal
journey of adventure, physical challenge, and culture clash. In the tradition of
John McPhee's Coming into the Country, this elegant and affecting memoir is
nature writing at its best....

In the early years of the 1940s, as the nation's young men ship off to war, the
call goes out for builders of the machinery necessary to defeat the enemy. To this
purpose, a city has sprung up seemingly overnight in the windswept fields of
Oklahoma: the Van Damme airplane factory, a gargantuan complex dedicated to
the construction of the B-30 Pax, the largest bomber ever built.
Vi, Connie, and Diane find Van Damme after fleeing dying ranches, unfaithful men,
and hot music. Their journeys are liberating in ways they never imagined, and
lead each of them to Prosper Olander. An artist, a forger, a friend-a surprising
lover and compassionate listener-Prosper has followed unlikely opportunity down
a painfully twisting path to take his place as the true heart and soul of the
temporary city. And before the B-30 Pax takes flight, he will change the lives of
these women in profound and unexpected ways.
Four Freedoms is a moving, evocative, and unforgettable saga of wives, mothers,
and lovers-of strangers, outcasts, and damaged Quixotes-who, unmoored by
conflict's unpredictable tides, find community, purpose, identity, independence . . .

Overwhelmed by heartbreak and loss, struggling 26-year-old fashion designer
Kate Robinson flees to her ancestral homeland of Ireland, arriving in the seaside
hamlet of Glenmara hoping to break free of old patterns and reinvent herself.
In this charming, fading Gaelic village, Kate quickly develops a bond with members
of the local lace-making society, including Bernie, alone and yearning since the
death of her beloved husband; Aileen, helplessly watching her teenage daughter
grow distant; Oona, in remission from breast cancer, secretly harboring
misgivings about her marriage. And outside this newfound circle is local artist
Sullivan Deane, an enigmatic man trying to overcome a tragedy of his own.
Under Glenmara’s spell, Kate finds the inspiration that has eluded her, and soon
she and the lace makers are creating a line of exquisite lingerie. The circle also
offers them something more—the strength to face their long-denied desires and
fears. But not everyone welcomes Kate, and a series of unexpected events

In the late summer of 2007, when the first hedge funds started blowing up
because of failed subprime mortgages, an anonymous hedge fund manager (HFM)
sat down with n+1 editor Keith Gessen to discuss what was happening in the
world of finance. This conversation became the first in a series of interviews
about the economic crisis that offers a stunningly original and lucid narrative of a
period of great upheaval in the United States and around the world. From the
structure and dynamic of subprime securitization, to the collapse and buyout of
Bear Stearns and then, months later, the total and disorderly collapse of Lehman
Brothers, to Obama's stimulus package, the revelations around Bernie Madoff,
and then, after things calmed down, the return of high leveraging to the banking
system, Diary of a Very Bad Year vividly recounts the crisis as it unfolds—in the
eloquent, intelligent, and yet also despairing voice of a participant.
With remarkable candor, HFM offers an intimate perspective on his success as a
trader in emerging markets and the state of hedge funds generally. He also talks
about how the crisis has affected his own life, his attitude toward the world and
his work, and his plans for...

“As the parallels between the two relationships multiply, the novel catches fire. . . .
Ansay is a gifted and sure-handed...
Battling feelings of loss and apathy in the wake of a painful divorce, novelist
Jeanette struggles to complete a book about the long-term relationship
between Clara Schumann, a celebrated pianist and the wife of the composer
Robert Schumann, and her husband's protégé, the handsome young composer
Johannes Brahms. Although this legendary love triangle has been studied
exhaustively, Jeanette-herself a gifted pianist-wonders about the enduring
nature of Clara and Johannes's lifelong attachment. Were they just "best
friends," as both steadfastly claimed? Or was the relationship complicated by
desires that may or may not have been consummated?
Through a chance encounter, Jeanette meets Hart, a mysterious, worldly
entrepreneur who is a native of Clara's birthplace, Leipzig, Germany. Hart's
casual help with translations quickly blossoms into something more. The two
embark on a whirlwind emotional journey that leads Jeanette across Germany
and Switzerland to a crossroads similar to that faced by Clara Schumann-also a
mother, also an artist-more than a century earlier.
Accompanied by photographs, sketches, and notes from past and present, A.

Sympathetic and winning, guileless yet sure-footed, the journalism of Dennis
Cooper has over the course of three decades cast true light on some of the
defining personalities of American pop culture. Not only does Dennis reveal the
backstage lives of celebrities like Christian Bale, Leonardo DiCaprio, Courtney
Love, Keanu Reeves, and others, he has had both the luck and the knack to
interview them at critical moments in their lives and careers. His was the last indepth interview DiCaprio gave before Titanic turned him into a press-shy
megastar. His feature on Courtney Love hit the newstands the day Kurt Cobain
killed himself.
But Smothered in Hugs is not merely an insider’s romp through Hollywood. Cooper
has written on grave social issues, in particular “AIDS: Words from the Front,”
producing touchstone pieces for a generation of readers. His obituaries for Kurt
Cobain, River Phoenix, and William Burroughs offer portraits that are both
crystallizing and appropriately indefinite. He serves as witness to the work and
play of an illustrious roster of cultural personalities: Clive Barker, Henry Darger,
Gordon Lish, Stephen Malkmus, Quentin Taratino, William T. Vollmann, and John
Waters, among others—and does so with an acuity and fairness missing from
most pop...

Winnie Easton has finally found love again with Jerry Trevis, a wealthy Chicago
businessman who has moved to the small, upstate town of Hartfield, New York
to begin his life anew. But their decision to buy one of the town's biggest
houses ignites anger and skepticism in their families. Jerry's daughter, Annette,
fears her inheritance might disappear, and takes drastic action to freeze Jerry's
assets, while Winnie's daughter, Rachel, struggling with her own finances, is
secretly humiliated by her mother's newfound love and money-but not enough
to turn down Jerry's offer of a loan. And in the meantime, Avery, Jerry's 20-yearold grandson, a hot-shot chef with an attitude, a much older girlfriend, and a

1945 was the most pivotal year in Germany's modern history. As World War II
drew to a devastating and violent close, the German people were confronted
simultaneously with making sense of the horrors just passed and finding the
strength and hope to move forward and rebuild. In Germany 1945, Richard Bessel
offers a provocative portrait of Germany's emergence from catastrophe, and
astutely portrays the defeated nation's own sense of victimhood after the war,
despite the crimes it had perpetrated.
Bessel captures the terrible suffering in the destroyed cities; the acts of
vengeance inflicted on Germans by the conquering Soviets, French, and
Americans; as well as death marches and the extreme brutality of the Nazi regime
against its own people. Yet in spite of this horrific violence, by the end of 1945
people were beginning to put their lives back together and create the
foundations of a postwar social, economic, and political culture. Bessel's startling
narrative depicts perhaps the most important transition of modern times: from
the worst outburst of violence in human history to a period of relative peace,
prosperity, and civilized behavior. Ultimately, it is a success story, a story of life...

partner find themselves legally blocked from marriage. Her best friend and

With the end of summer closing in and a steamy Labor Day weekend looming in
the town of Holton Mills, New Hampshire, thirteen-year-old Henry-lonely,
friendless, not too good at sports-spends most of his time watching television,
reading, and daydreaming about the soft skin and budding bodies of his female
classmates. For company Henry has his long-divorced mother, Adele-a one-time
dancer whose summer project was to teach him how to foxtrot; his hamster, Joe;
and awkward Saturday-night outings to Friendly's with his estranged father and
new stepfamily. As much as he tries, Henry knows that even with his jokes and
his "Husband for a Day" coupon, he still can't make his emotionally fragile mother
happy. Adele has a secret that makes it hard for her to leave their house, and
seems to possess an irreparably broken heart. But all that changes on the
Thursday before Labor Day, when a mysterious bleeding man named Frank
approaches Henry and asks for a hand.
In Labor Day, acclaimed author Joyce Maynard weaves a beautiful, poignant tale
of love, sex, adolescence, and devastating treachery as seen through the eyes of
a young teenage boy-and the man he later...

Numb, a man who feels no pain and has no memory of how he came to be this
way, travels to New York City after a short stint in the circus to search for the
answers to his past. But when word of his condition spreads—sparked by the
attention he attracts from letting people nail his hands to bars for money—he
quickly finds himself hounded on all sides by those who would use his unique
ability in their own pursuits of fame and fortune. There’s the best friend who
doesn’t quite know how to handle Numb’s newfound celebrity, the savvy talent
agent who may or may not have Numb’s best interests in mind, the sadistic
supermodel whose idea of a good time involves lion claws and can openers, and
the blind girlfriend who might actually see something in Numb others don’t. As
Numb navigates this strange world, and as he continues to search for clues from
his past, he is forced to confront one of life’s toughest questions: Who am I?
Highly imaginative and wildly entertaining, Numb is an examination of identity,
friendship, pain, the cult of celebrity, and the nature of the media.

Neal Pollack was overweight, the hair on his head was thinning, and the hair on
his face was pretentious—all of which a New York Times critic helpfully pointed
out while panning his second book. The nasty review, combined with the
complete failure of his attempt to become the front-man for a rock band, left
Pollack lying facedown in a puddle of his own tears, pounding the mattress and
sobbing into his pillow.
Pollack was desperate enough to try anything to get his life back on
track—even yoga. And to his surprise, as he struggled to master the “alligator
pose” and keep from kicking other yogis in the face, Pollack began to feel
better. So he immersed himself in the “weird and circuslike” culture of yoga,
taking part in a 24-Hour Yogathon, volunteering at his neighborhood yoga
studio, attending a “yoga Olympics” in an airport hotel ballroom, going to yoga
conferences and yoga rock shows, becoming a reporter for Yoga Journal
magazine, going on a two-week yoga retreat to Thailand, and, finally, teaching
yoga himself.

debauchery of new freedoms, and the growing pains that come along with “adulthood”
Rachel Shukert spent her twenties toeing the waters of adulthood in New York
City. When she graduated from NYU with a degree in acting and no money, she
had dreams of “making it big.” Too bad she had the same plan as everyone
else living in tiny studios in outer Brooklyn with six roommates, cans of tuna,
and boxed wine.
After scoring a coveted, non-paying, non-speaking role in a play with a
European tour, Rachel finally has her big break. And after a fluke at customs in
Vienna, her golden ticket—an unstamped passport and free reign to “find
herself” on a European grand tour of Vienna, Zurich, and finally Amsterdam.
From a dental emergency that almost ends in a threesome with Italian men to a
run-in with sausage-loving neo-Nazis and an affair with a 40-year-old Swiss
man named Berthold, Rachel’s laugh-out-loud story bounces through tricky
relationships, drunken mischief and miscommunication, and the reality-adjusting
growing pains that every twentysomething faces when sent off to negotiate
“the real world.”

For over two thousand years, from the Bible to Harry Potter, unicorns have
inspired, enchanted, and eluded humanity. The beast appears in Old Testament
texts and Greek and Roman natural histories; Christians adopted it as a symbol
of Christ, the Middle Ages as a symbol of courtly love. There was a brisk trade in
unicorn parts in medieval and Renaissance times, and travelers regularly
reported sightings into the modern era. But by the early twentieth century the
real-life contenders for the beast had been ruled out, and scientists concluded
that the unicorn never existed. It turns out they were a little hasty.
Where did the unicorn come from, and how was it accepted as a part of the
animal kingdom for so long? In this lively and vivid exploration of the natural
world, Chris Lavers follows the beast's trail to the plateaus of India and into the
jungles of Africa to unearth the flesh and blood ancestors of our iconic unicorn,
and introduces readers to the peoples, historians, explorers, traders, and
scientists who long believed it was real.

existentialism”
“A revolutionary age is an age of action; ours is the age of advertisement and
publicity. Nothing ever happens but there is immediate publicity
everywhere.”—From The Present Age
In The Present Age (1846), Kierkegaard analyzes the philosophical implications
of a society dominated by the mass-media. What makes the essay so
remarkable is the way it seems to speak directly to our time—the Information
Age—where life is dominated by mere “information” not true “knowledge.”
Kierkegaard goes so far as to say that advertising and publicity almost
immediately co-opt and suppress revolutionary actions/thoughts. The Present
Age is essential reading for anyone who wishes to better understand the
modern world.
Author Bio
C onsidered to be “the Father of Existentialism” (New York Times), Søren Kierkegaard
(1813-55) continues to exercise a wide influence on philosophy, literature, and
theology. After a youth spent cultivating the lifestyle of a Romantic aesthete, he finished
his studies at the University of Copenhagen with the dissertation On the Concept of
Irony. Many of his books were published under exotic pseudonyms, and explored
different dimensions of life outside Christianity. These include Either/Or, Fear and
Trembling and The Concept of Anxiety. He also wrote a number of more directly
devotional works, including Works of Love.

Long before Julia Child or M.F.K. Fisher discovered French cooking, Alice B.
Toklas was sampling local dishes, collecting recipes, and cooking for the writers,
artists, and expats who lived in Paris between the wars. Hemingway,
Fitzgerald, Wilder (Toklas called him Thornie), Matisse, and Picasso shared
meals at the home she kept with her lover, Gertrude Stein, who famously
memorialized her in The Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas.
This Cook Book, however, is Toklas' true memoir, a collection of memories and
traditional French recipes that predates Child's Mastering the Art of French
Cooking and recalls the Paris of Hemingway's A Moveable Feast. M.F.K Fisher
calls it "a minor masterpiece" in the foreword she wrote for Harper's 30th
anniversary edition (1984) and which is included here.
Toklas supplies familiar recipes such as coq au vin, bouillabaisse, and two for
boeuf bourguinon that are accessible to cooks of all skill levels. In chapters
titled "Food in French Homes," "Dishes for Artists," and "Murder in the Kitchen,"
she expounds on everything from the first time she killed a carp to the bass she

In On Disobedience Erich Fromm writes that the authoritarian dictorships of the 20th
century produced an “organization man” to follow directives blindly, no matter how
abhorrent. At the same time, a kind of conformity has arisen in western
democracies, only brought about by the more subtle means of massive
consumerism. In democracies, where the power to implement irreversible
destruction rests in the hands of the few, the individual also needs to retain his
ability to dissent and to speak “no” to those in power.
In the face of these conformist pressures in whichever form they takes, modern
man must seek an authentic expression in order to retain his deepest sense of
self. Fromm sees both capitalism and totalitarian communism moving toward a lifedenying industrial bureaucracy, and berates the one system for ignoring, the other
for betraying, the ideals of a true humanistic socialism in which people take
precendence over things, life over property, and work over capital.

Even if you’ve never watched TV show Mad Men, chances are you’ve heard a
colleague chatting about it at the water cooler. AMC’s sleeper hit set in the
1960s world of Madison Avenue advertizing executives has taken the world by
storm – and for good reason. The New York Times called the show
groundbreaking for “luxuriating in the not-so-distant past.”
Why are people so obsessed with this show?
Beyond the sumptuous set design and trance-inducing actors that have defined
the critically acclaimed series, there is high art at play. Embedded in the show’s
three seasons there are hundreds of cultural nuggets that capture the
historical themes of the mid-century—like the diminution of social order to the
giant consumerist boom. From lowbrow ephemera like iconic beer, bra, and
shaving creams ads, to the avant guard expressions of Mark Rothko, to political
assassinations to Drexel end tables, all of these precious morsels capture the
zeitgeist of the 1960’s.
Journalist and obsessive Mad Men fan Natasha Vargas-Cooper has collected and
analyzed these nuggets in one place, so readers can run their...

Kris Carlson had an idyllic life. She and her husband Richard had a romantic
marriage, two beautiful daughters, and—thanks to the success of Richard’s
bestselling “Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff” series—all of the comforts that money
could buy. But on December 13, 2006, that perfect story took a sudden turn
when Richard died—at age 45—of a pulmonary embolism on a flight to New York.
It was the end of life as Kris knew it, but the beginning of a journey through grief
that would teach Kris how much more she could be than the person she once
was. That journey is the subject of Heartbroken Open, a courageously honest
memoir of the two years that followed Richard’s death, and the painful but
ultimately valuable lessons Kris Carlson learned along the way. This wise little
book offers a message of hope for everyone who has lost a loved one.

When Paul McCartney told the world in 1970 that he had no plans to work with
the Beatles again, it was widely viewed as a cultural tragedy by the media and
public alike. His statement not only marked the end of the band’s remarkable
career, but also seemed to signal the demise of an era of unprecedented
optimism in cultural history.
But posterity would not let go of the group so easily and one of the most
fascinating phases of the Beatle’s story was just about to begin. For almost 40
years the four members of the group, their families and business partners, have
been forced to live with the reverberations of their incredible success.
Now, for the first time, You Never Give Me Your Money tells the dramatic story of
the personal and business competition that has dominated the Beatles’ lives
since 1969. It charts the almost Shakespearean rivalry between the Lennon and
McCartney families, the conflict in George Harrison’s life between spirituality and
fame, and Richard Starkey a.k.a. Ringo Starr’s efforts to escape the alcoholism
that threatened to kill him. It documents the shifting relationships between the
four as they strive to establish...

“At my job, people die,” writes Theresa Brown, capturing both the burden and
the singular importance of her profession. Critical Care chronicles Brown, a former
English Professor at Tufts University, on her first year as an RN in medical
oncology and the emotional ups and downs she encounters in caring for
strangers. In contrast to other medical memoirs that highlight the work of
doctors, this book focuses on the critical role played by nurses as health care
providers.
Brown walks readers through the rigors of chemotherapy, reveals the odd things
that can happen to people’s bodies in hospitals, and throws in some humor with
her chapter titled, “Doctors Don’t Do Poop.” During her first year on the hospital
floor, Brown is seriously injured but her recovery allows her to take a new
perspective on the health care system, giving her a better understanding of the
challenges faced by her patients.
Ultiimately, Critical Care conveys the message of learning to embrace life in times
of health and sickness. “The antidote to death,” Brown says, “is life.” Brown
writes powerfully and honestly about her experiences, shedding light on the
issues of mortality and meaning in our lives.

The New York Times references Elaine Hall as “The Child Whisperer.” Her profound
bond with children has been the defining force of her life and has led her to the
successive miracles she documents with grace, humor and heart in Now I See the
Moon.
Elaine was an A-list Hollywood acting coach for children when she learned that
she could not have biological children. She adopted a beautiful two-year-old boy
from Russia, who was subsequently diagnosed with severe autism. Refusing to
heed the admonitions to “send him back” she used her professional knowledge
and wisdom garnered from leading, humanistic authorities on autism to guide him
through the inspiring, miraculous journey that has made him the happy,
increasingly independent teenager that he is now.
Drawing on that experience, she went on to create The Miracle Project, through
which she took on the seemingly impossible task of engaging children on the
autistic spectrum to create and perform an original musical. Sparked by her
conviction that involvement in the performing arts has the power to transform,
her program has been a triumph, the subject of the award-winning HBO
documentary, and a miracle shared by all who witness it or participate in it....

The images of Breakfast at Tiffany’s are branded into our collective memory: we
can see Audrey Hepburn stepping out of that cab on the corner of 57th and 5th,
and we can picture her again with George Peppard, huddled in an alleyway and
wrapped in a kiss, as the rain pours down around them. Those moments are as
familiar to us as any in whole the history of movies, but few of us know that that
ending was not the film’s original ending. In fact, it was only one of two endings
the filmmakers shot—and it almost didn’t make it in.
The reasons why have to do with the movie's cutting-edge take on sex in the city,
namely, when to show it, and how to do it, without getting caught. If Truman
Capote had it his way, his beloved Marilyn Monroe would have been cast as Holly,
but crafty executives knew that she’d have the censors on red alert. So they
went for Audrey. But would she go for them? Frightened at the prospect of
playing a part so far beyond her accepted range—not to mention the part of call
girl—Audrey turned inside out worrying if she should take...

Whether being swarmed by flocks of by Japanese tourists at Epcot center as a

has been an object of curiosity since the day he was born without legs. In an
attempt to capture the stares of others, Kevin traveled to 17 countries on his

A founding member of Metallica, Dave Mustaine was officially fired from the band
in April 1983 for his alcoholism and because of clashes with James Hetfield and
Lars Ulrich. Unceremoniously dropped off at a Greyhound station in Rochester, NY,
with a ticket back to LA, Mustaine went on to become the founder, lead guitarist,
and singer of the equally popular heavy metal band Megadeth.
Here, for the first time ever, he tells the tale of the two biggest metal bands in

pregnant, and before she traveled the world to play sold-out shows to millions

Until she was ten years-old, Maya Arulpragasam (better known by her stage

father a Tamil Tiger revolutionary, Maya came of age in a world torn apart by

“My life is a series of embarrassing incidents strung together by telling people about
those embarrassing incidents.”
Russell Brand learned early on to make a joke of fear and failure. From a troubled
childhood in industrial Essex, England to his descent into addictions to alcohol,
drugs, and sex in the seamy underbelly of London, Brand has seen his share of
both, and miraculously lived to tell the tale. In My Booky Wook, he leads readers
on a rollicking journey through his disastrous school career, his infamous antics
on MTV, and his multifarious sexual adventures.
But this irreverent and exuberant memoir is a story not simply of struggle but also
of redemption, a testament to the difficulty of discovering what you want from life
and the remarkable power of a bloody-minded determination to get it. Achingly
and hilariously honest throughout, My Booky Wook is a giddy trip through the
brilliant mind of one of Britain’s most valuable exports.

In the summer of 2009, comedy writer Justin Halpern, 29, had to ask his parents if he
could move back in with them. His 73-year-old father's response? "All I ask is that you
pick up your shit so you don't leave your bedroom looking like it was used for a gang
bang. Also, sorry that your girlfriend dumped you." Sam Halpern had never minced
words, and when Justin moved back home, he was smart enough to write down all the
ridiculous things his dad said to him. These philosophies included, “You have to do
something you love… Bullshit, you clearly have NOT heard this speech before because
you’re working at Mervyn’s;" “The universe does not give a fuck about you. You are a
speck in its shit;” “The worst thing you can be is a liar....Okay fine, yes, the worst thing
you can be is a Nazi, but THEN, number two is liar. Nazi 1, Liar 2;” and “Everybody loves

Satiristas: (n., pl.) 1. a cadre of comic provocateurs at the forefront of a
revolutionary movement targeting political hypocrisy, media distortion, and the
institutionalized ignorance infecting American culture. Satiristas are distinguished
from generic comedians by the savage bite of their wit, virtuosic command of
sarcasm and irony, and finely tuned bullshit detectors. Satiristas speak truth to
power, reap the rewards, and sometimes pay the price. Satiristas are thinkers,
philosophers, and poets. Satiristas are the turd in the punchbowl. Satiristas are

I Love You, And I’m Leaving You Anyway is television writer Tracy McMillan’s
provocative, insightful, and humorous memoir of how she tried to find love,
security, and self-esteem from men (up to and including 3 husbands!) because
she didn’t get it from her relationship with her dad. Of course, her relationship
with her father is more complicated than most—he is a fur-coat wearing, ElDorado-driving pimp, drug dealer, and convicted felon, who has been
incarcerated for nearly all of her life.
But this is not a “woe is me” story of what went wrong. I Love You, And I’m
Leaving You Anyway is a story of what’s gone right. It’s the story of how having
a father obsessed with women made her a woman obsessed with men, and
how raising a son taught her everything she needed to know about men,
women, love, and, of course, herself. Heartwarming, comedic, and unflinchingly
real, it proves that we can all grow from even our most flawed relationships.

With her contagious grin and indomitable spirit, 19-year-old Ashley Fiolek is
already the top female competitor in a macho man’s sport: motocross, a form of
off-road motorcycle racing that is one of the most competative and
dangerous extreme sports in America. In the two years since she went pro, Fiolek
has taken gold at the X-Games and won the American Women's Motocross
Championship twice. In the thrilling 2009 finale, Fiolek crashed and snapped her
collarbone, but got back on her bike and crossed the finish line to take home the
championship trophy. Quitting has never been part of Ashley Fiolek's vocabulary.
But Fiolek’s rise has not come without obstacles. She was born profoundly deaf, a
handicap that makes everyday life difficult—and competition on the track
downright dangerous. Misdiagnosed as "mildly retarded" by doctors, Ashley was
shy and introverted as a young child, until her grandfather ("Grandpa
Motorcycle") encouraged her to join the amateur motocross circuit. She began
racing at seven. And as her successes grew through hard work and no small
number of broken bones, so too did her confidence. Fiolek and her family never
believed her disability should stand in the way of her dreams.
Reminiscent of Bethany...

When identical twin brothers Logan and Noah Miller's homeless father died alone
in a jail cell, they vowed, come hell or high water, that their film, Touching Home,
would be made as a dedication to their love for him. Either You're in or You're in

meaningful contact in Hollywood-they managed to write, produce, direct, and act
in a feature film alongside four-time Academy Award-nominated actor Ed Harris
and fellow nominees Brad Dourif and Robert Forster.
Either You're in or You're in the Way tells of the desperate struggle of two sons
fighting to keep a vow to their father, and in so doing, creating a better life for
themselves. A modern-day Horatio Alger on steroids, this fast-paced thrill ride of
heartbreak and redemption will both captivate and inspire.

At the tender age of 15, Cherie Currie became the lead singer for The
Runaways, an all-girl punk rock group formed in 1975. Cherie and her
bandmates—Joan Jett, Lita Ford, Jackie Fox, and Sandy West—were quickly
catapulted from playing small LA clubs to selling out major stadiums during an
amazing time in punk rock. With her signature Bowie-hair cut and fishnet
stockings, Cherie lit up the stage, singing hits such as “Cherry Bomb,” “Queens
of Noise,” and “Born to Be Bad.” She toured with bands such as the Ramones,
Van Halen, Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers, Cheap Trick, and Blondie, and
hung out with the Sex Pistols.
The Runaways were the first all-girl rock band to have hit songs, record
platinum albums, and tour internationally. But behind the scenes they were still
five teen runaways, thrown into a decadent, high-pressure world. Neon Angel is
a no-holds-barred look at their fascinating rise, filled with stories of sex, drugs,
violence, exploitation, and rock ‘n roll.

Willie Randolph's story personifies a remarkable American passage-one family's
journey from slavery to freedom, poverty to prosperity, illiteracy to the Ivy League
in the span of a few generations. In Rising Son, he shares the details of his life for
the first time.
The oldest of five siblings, Randolph was delivered by a midwife in a wooden
roadside shack in Holly Hill, SC, with no plumbing, no running water, and a single
bare light bulb. A few years later his parents moved the family north to Brooklyn,
where Randolph grew up in a housing project riddled with drugs, crime, and
violence. Walking a straight and narrow path, he escaped the mean streets via
the grassless ballfields of New York City. Drafted by the Pittsburgh Pirates in
1972, he made his mark as the second baseman for the New York Yankees from
1976 to 1988. But this driven, gifted young man wasn't alone. His parents, his
high school coach, and Yankees manager Billy Martin helped him become the man
he was destined to be.
Here, too, are Randolph's baseball years, from playing amid the turbulence of

Guns N' Roses is one of America's most successful rock bands, with estimated

an infamous past of sex, drugs, and rock 'n roll that led to his removal from the
band.
And here, for the first time, Steven Adler tells it all. In My Appetite for Destruction,
he reveals his personal struggles with drug addiction, including the financial ruin
he faced after being kicked out of GNR and the health problems that almost
claimed his life several times-two heart attacks, a suicide attempt, and a
debilitating stroke, as well as an epic 20-year addiction to crack and heroin. Now
clean and sober under the watchful eye of family friend Dr. Drew Pinsky, Steven
wants to set the record straight on his life for all Guns N' Roses fans and anyone

Every day since the age of eleven, when Alison Arngrim began playing the
scheming, manipulative, and downright horrible Nellie Oleson character on the
iconic TV series Little House on the Prairie, she's been called a bitch.
In Confessions of a Prairie Bitch, Arngrim, a longtime stand-up comic, shares
dozens of hilarious behind-the-scenes stories from the Little House set, including
the time when she and her (off-screen) best friend Melissa Gilbert, who played
Laura Ingalls, peed in their wetsuits to keep warm during the filming of the
“Camp Out” episode, and how Melissa Sue Anderson, who played Mary Ingalls,
was the real bitch of the show. Arngrim also includes tales of growing up with her
dysfunctional, bohemian family in West Hollywood and tells of the advocacy work
she’s done in the wake of the 1986 death from HIV/AIDS of her “Little House
husband,” co-star and friend Steve Tracy.
Hilarious and unforgettable, Confessions of a Prairie Bitch pulls back the curtain on
one of the most popular TV shows of all time—and is a must-read for all the fans

“Rufus Wainwright is the greatest songwriter on the planet.” —Elton John
Rufus Wainwright’s work mixes innovation and tradition like no other
contemporary pop performer. His private life, which, by choice or otherwise, he
has lived in public, is equally incredible—and in its own, sometimes peculiar,
often exaggerated way, has encompassed all three of the clichés of musicians:
sex, drugs, and rock n’ roll.
Rufus Wainwright’s story includes a who’s who of contemporary indie, folk, and
rock acts: he has toured and recorded with many respected and popular artists
including Tori Amos, Sting, Ben Folds, and Guster. The Grammy-nominated
singer-songwriter has recorded five albums, several EPs, and numerous tracks
included on compilations and film soundtracks.
Yet Wainwright’s personal life has been a path of ups and downs. He is the son
of folk singer, songwriter, and actor Loudon Wainwright III and Canadian folk
singer Kate McGarrigle, and brother of folk singer Martha Wainwright. In
addition to influences from his family, his powerful and challenging experiences
with his sexuality and addiction to crystal meth in the early 2000s have...

The calm of affluent Greenwich, CT, is rattled by news of a heartbreaking triple
murder. A successful trader at one of Wall Street’s most prestigious firms has
been killed, along with his wife and teenage daughter, in an apparent homeburglary gone terribly wrong.
Ty Hauck, who has recently traded in his badge for a new life as a partner in an
international security firm, is shaken by the news. He knew the wife years ago, at
a vulnerable time in his life, and her memory lures him back—against his own best
interests—to the life he has just left behind. He digs into troubling questions;
questions about the sudden collapse of the dead trader’s “too big to fail” firm.
About that firm’s connections to Hauck’s own security company that his new boss
wants to keep buried. About the motives of the local police department he has
just left behind. Pushed on by the memory of his murdered friend, Hauck teams
up with a tenacious government agent and uncovers a scheme aimed at the
collapse of the global financial markets that gives new meaning to the word
“meltdown.”

A cantankerous man full of swagger with a fearsome talent to match, Hall of Fame
right fielder Reggie Jackson was an outspoken iconoclast—a gift that made him
friends and enemies of some of the most colorful characters in the game. As large
a presence on the field as he was outside the ballpark, Jackson earned the
nickname “Mr. October” for the clutch hitting that led his teams to the World
Series five times and won him two series MVP awards.
From childhood in a predominantly white neighborhood to heroics at the plate,
from relationships with legendary players such as “Catfish” Hunter and Rollie
Fingers to battles with some of the sport’s most powerful figures, including
notoriously cheap Oakland A’s owner Charlie Finley and the manipulative George
Steinbrenner, Reggie Jackson tells the full story of the man who was one of the
first black baseball superstars—and one of the greatest players the game has
ever seen.
Yet Jackson’s story transcends sports. His life reflects a time, between Jackie
Robinson and Ken Griffey Jr., when black ballplayers were accepted, but still
considered inferior to their white teammates. There were unspoken...

What began as a relaxing fishing party became a harrowing tale of death and
survival against unfathomable odds. On Saturday February 28, 2009, 24-year-old
Nick Schuyler and three football friends-Raiders linebacker Marquis Cooper, 26,
Lions defensive end Corey Smith, 29, and Will Bleakley, 25, a teammate from the
University of South Florida-sailed away from Tampa Bay for a day of fun in the Gulf
of Mexico.
But 35 miles off the coast of Florida, their 21-foot boat flipped, hurling the four
athletes into the rough water. For more than 12 hours, the foursome gripped the
boat as the temperature dropped to 60 degrees and the waves climbed to more
than 10 feet. Donning the life jackets Bleakley bravely retrieved from inside the
overturned craft, the friends passed the time swapping stories of loved ones and
memories from the gridiron. Yet to Schulyer's horror, he watched as one by one,
Marquis then Corey, and finally his best friend Will succumbed to hypothermia
brought on by the choppy seas and cold temperatures. As the hours lengthened,
Schuyler held each man in his arms as they passed, powerless to save them.

evening, flooded with thoughts of middle age, change, and loss, Kassinger

Dazzled by the vast, dense cascade of greenery before her, Kassinger began a

chronicles her journey from brown thumb to green as she studies myriad
conservatories throughout history and plans her own. Her search to create her

It is not down on any map; true places never are.-Herman Melville
Zee Finch has come a long way from a motherless childhood spent stealing
boats from Salem Harbor-a talent that earned her the name Trouble. She's now
a respected psychotherapist working under world famous specialist Dr. Liz
Mattei. She's also about to marry Michael, one of Boston's most eligible
bachelors-a brilliant game theorist who is paid to predict what people will do.
But the suicide of her most troubled patient, Lily Breadon, throws Zee into
emotional chaos and takes her back to places she thought she'd left behind.
No one knows of the guilt, the constant "what if" that has plagued Zee since
the day her mother, a children's book author suffering from bipolar disorder,
took her own life. No one knows the role she played in her death. Could she
have saved her mother-and was she now living proof of her boss's new theory,
that a daughter will always pursue the unfinished dreams of her motherespecially if those dreams were never expressed?
Zee knows the answers...

the system is Mjollnir, a precision-guided artificial meteorite that can strike almost

dozens of anti-satellite missile sites around the world aimed at America's

On the morning of April 2, 1865, Jefferson Davis, president of the Confederacy,
received the telegram from General Robert E. Lee. There is no more time-the
Yankees are coming. That evening, shortly before midnight, Davis boarded a train
from Richmond and fled the capital. But in two weeks time, John Wilkes Booth
would assassinate the president, and the nation was convinced that Davis was
the mastermind of the crime. No longer merely a traitor, Davis became a
murderer, a wanted man with a one-hundred-thousand-dollar bounty on his
head. Over the course of several weeks, Union cavalry led an intense and thrilling
chase through the Carolinas and Georgia. Davis's final journey into captivity, with
its moments of great suffering and intense drama, transformed him into a martyr
of the South's Lost Cause.
Another man was also undergoing his last journey. Abraham Lincoln's final
sojourn began on April 19 after the White House funeral. From there a solemn
procession escorted him to the Capitol rotunda, where tens of thousands of
mourners viewed him in death. This was just the beginning. On April 21, one
week after he was shot, four-hundred soldiers...

Bruce Feiler was a young father when he was diagnosed with cancer in 2008.
He instantly worried what his death might mean for his daughters. "Would they
wonder who I was? Would they wonder what I thought? Would they lack for my
approval, my discipline, my voice?"
Three days later he came up with a stirring idea of how he might give them that
voice. He would reach out to six men, from all the passages in his life, and
asked them to be present through the passages in his daughters' lives. And he
would call this group of men, "The Council of Dads."
"I believe my daughters will have plenty of opportunities in their lives," he
wrote to these men. "They'll have loving families. They'll have welcoming
homes. They'll have each other. But they may not have me. They may not have
their dad. Will you help be their dad?"
The Council of Dads is the inspiring story of what happened next. Mixing the

the Rain Wild River to cocoon. Those who survived believed that, when they
hatched in spring, they would rise triumphantly as fully formed dragons. But they
did not anticipate the heavy toll their long quest would extract. With the dawn of

To complete their humiliation, they cannot survive without the aid of humansdragon keepers that provide for them, and eventually accompany them on a

But these dragon keepers are as malformed as their charges. Rejected by Rain

In this riveting popular history, W Craig Reed pulls back the curtain on the most
secret aspects of America’s Cold War with the Soviet Union: the underwater
battles and espionage operations that brought the world to the brink of nuclear
warfare numerous times. As a former submariner and navy diver, Reed is the first
author to obtain in-depth interviews from dozens of Navy SEALS and divers,
espionage operatives, submariners and government officials on both sides about
Ivy Bells, Boresight, Bulls Eye and Holystone operations. Through in-depth
research and his own first-hand experience, Reed sheds new light on the most
harrowing and exciting missions conducted during the Cold War.
Reading like a fast-paced Tom Clancy thriller, Red November transcends traditional
submarine, espionage and naval Cold War historical accounts by delivering a far
more personal touch to the near-death experiences told by the men and women
who participated in America’s longest and most expensive underwater war.

From the moment Sarvey Wildlife Care Center volunteer Jeff Guidry saw the
emaciated baby eagle with broken wings, his life was changed. For weeks he and
the center’s staff tended to the grievously injured bird. Miraculously she recovered
and Jeff became her devoted caretaker.
Though Freedom would never fly, she had Jeff as her wings. And when Jeff was
diagnosed with Stage 3 non-Hodgkins lymphoma in 2000, Freedom returned his
gift. Between sessions of debilitating chemotherapy, Jeff returned to Sarvey and
began taking Freedom for walks which soothed his spirit. Soon Freedom dominated
his thoughts and dreams, guiding him to fight for life. Eight months into his battle,
Jeff learned that he was cancer free. His first stop was Sarvey to walk Freedom.
Somehow this special bird seemed to understand the significance of the day. For
the very first time she wrapped both her wings around Jeff, enveloping him in an
avian hug. In March 2008, Jeff shared his remarkable experience with a friend—an
exchange that would eventually circle the globe and touch countless hearts.

screamingly funny take on being a modern woman with a husband and three kids in tow
On Sale:4/6/2010
Amy Wilson and her husband were delighted when they learned they were
finally pregnant. With great expectation, Amy began to plan and prepare for the
arrival of their first child, only to be met with a million and one decisions and
twice that number in words of advice. Everything from the birth plan going
forward was like one big, terrifying multiple choice exam, each question
overshadowed by: Don’t you want what’s best for your child? Seven years and
three kids later, Amy still has one overriding daily thought: I suck at this. What
kind of mother feeds her kids dinosaur chicken nuggets? Three times a week?
What kind of mother let’s hand washing after using the toilet slide, as long as it
was just Number One? Amy says, “over the last seven years of long days with
little children, I have certainly had many moments of joy, calm, and peaceful
reverie. This book is about the other moments.” When Did I Get Like This?,
written in short chapters so busy mothers can enjoy, is a funny, endearing
celebration of the modern mother’s quest to provide what is best for her kids in
the age of too many options.

cadence of the South, and filled with lively characters, Untitled is vintage
Dorothea Benton Frank, a deeply compelling and touching novel her fans are

It was before 2 a.m. on Easter morning, March 23, 2008, when the fishing trawler
Alaska Ranger began taking on water in the frigid Bering Sea, more than 100 miles
from the closest land. By 4:30 a.m., all 47 people on board had abandoned ship.
More than half failed to make it into a life raft. Bobbing in the freezing darkness,
many of the fishermen watched as the 200-foot, steel-hulled trawler plunged
down into the sea, and disappeared beneath the icy waves.
When the first Coast Guard rescue helicopter arrived on scene less than an hour
later, the rescue crew saw what looked to them like a poorly-lit runway: a string
of strobe lights flashing on and off over a mile-long swath of ocean. In horror, the
rescuers realized that each light was an individual man below in the waves-a man
already succumbing to the ravages of hypothermia in the 36°F waters.
With every minute a matter of life and death, the rescue team-eventually assisted
by a Coast Guard cutter, a Hercules C-130 search plane, a second rescue
chopper, and a sister fishing trawler-would call on...

The generally accepted view of literature holds that there are two major
categories: mainstream fiction, and all the rest, commonly known as “genre.” This
second category has always been considered inferior—to be taken less seriously,
to be covered in ghettoed sections of book review publications, or worse, to be
ignored and even dismissed. But the barrier between “genre” and “mainstream”
fiction is an artificial one, contends Neil Gaiman. The true hallmark of great
literature is great imagination, and as he and Al Sarrantino demonstrate with this
outstanding collection, when it comes to great fiction, all genres are equal.
One of the leading arbiters of contemporary culture, Gaiman—along with "master
anthologist" (Booklist) Al Sarrantonio—personally invited, read, and selected all
the stories in this collection, and his standard for what he’s calling the “new
literature of the imagination” is high. Stories is a groundbreaking anthology that

For 30 years, Pat Benatar has been one of the most influential women in
popular music. Now, this rock legend tells her story as she saw it, recalling her
rise to fame, life in the MTV generation, her tours, the fans, and how she
managed to avoid the trappings of rock stardom.
Part of the first generation of female rock stars to put the women's movement
into practice, Benatar's career has embodied the defiant attitude and rebellious
edge that has long been associated with her music. As the first woman ever to
be featured on MTV, Benetar's story is an incredible inside look at the integral
role that the nascent cable network played in shaping the face of music in the
1980s, helping to propel rock anthems like Heartbreaker and Love Is a Battlefield
to the top of the charts. Winner of an unprecented four consecutive Grammys
for best female rock performance, Benatar details a unique time in music
history, demonstrating how the advent of music videos turned musicians into
platinum selling stars overnight, but also set the stakes for being a female sex
symbol in the male-dominated world of the music business....

mindless mass media, and drugged out by pharmaceutical companies to act?
Have we become a poor imitation of the robust republic we once were? Are we

Jim Marrs answer is YES! He believes that we are living in a terrifying new
normal in which a ruling global elite is creating a New World Order that will

liberties and the nation’s transformation into a police state, he questions the

Why did Barack Obama run as a “Peace Candidate” and then increase
spending in Iraq?
Is the bailout nothing but giving plasma to [the] corpse of our already

After her husband, Eamon, died on September 11th, Bonnie McEneaney couldn't
stop thinking about his many accurate premonitions. She also couldn't shake a
feeling that Eamon was still communicating with her, sending her signs that he
was watching out for his family and friends- assuring her that our loving
connections do not end with death. This sense of Eamon's continued presence in
her life challenged her skepticism and propelled her on a journey of spiritual
exploration.
As McEneaney developed stronger friendships with others who had also lost
loved ones on September 11, she learned that they, too, were having unusual
and inexplicable experiences. In Messages, McEneaney carefully chronicles these
incidents-premonitions, signs, dreams, visitations, and communications through
mediums/psychics-all while weaving her own clear and heartfelt message of
comfort and hope to be communicated to all those who are searching for their
own deeper connections.

As she's passing mile 35 of the Comrades ultramarathon in South Africa, a
roadside bomb explodes, nearly killing ultra-runner and chemist Emma Caldridge.
Dazed and disoriented, she wakes to find a man injecting her with a high tech epi
pen. Within minutes her body recovers and she races to the finish line, stronger
than when she began. Shaken by the event and unsure of what was in the
injection, she calls her friend, Edward Banner of the security company Darkview,
to help her figure it out.
But Banner has his hands full with an emergency. Somali pirates in the Gulf of
Aden have attacked a cruise ship, and Darkview has been hired to rescue the
passengers. According to intelligence sources, the ship is carrying more than
wealthy travelers-cargo authorities fear could be a new weapon of unknown
origin. What the intelligence reports don't say, and Edward Banner won't confirm,
is that special agent Cameron Sumner is also on board.
Suspecting it may be a chemical weapon, Banner wants Emma to infiltrate the
ship, find the mysterious cargo, and use her professional expertise to identify it.
Emma knows...

With its spectacular temples, tombs, monuments, mummies, and hieroglyphs, as
well as esoteric metaphysics, legendary historical characters, and connections to
the Bible, ancient Egypt has enticed human imagination for centuries, from the
ancient Greeks and Romans to our modern era. This search for understanding and
drive to uncover this lost civilization has also been the life work of archaeologist
Donald P. Ryan, Ph.D., and in Beneath the Sands of Egypt he offers an intriguing
personal account of a career spent researching the remains of Egypt’s past. It is a
quest that has taken him from harsh desert digs to the modern comforts of
Europe’s finest museums and into the lives of some of his archaeological
predecessors, gathering insights form obscure documents and literally, digging in
their wakes.
Beneath the Sands of Egypt interweaves Ryan’s remarkable tales from the field
with reflections into the arcane world of Egyptology, including becoming an
archaeologist, dealing with eccentric colleagues, and the sometimes odd
experience of introducing his field and finds to the general public through lectures
and media appearances. Throughout, Ryan adds his unique touch, looking into
corners that other scholars and explorers have ignored, and embracing...

What happens when the man who
has everything loses everything?
And when the man who has nothing
realizes he has nothing to lose?
Brookstein. Lenny is a billionaire many times over with estates all over the world,
a fleet of yachts and a life that is the stuff of fantasy. He and Grace live in New York
where Lenny is revered as King of the Wall Street social scene. A big giver to charity,
he is both liked and respected. In 2009, the US stock market goes into a terrifying
freefall. But the Brooksteins glamorous world of Palm Beach polo tournaments and
G5 jets barely alters.
That is, until the day everything changes for Grace when Lenny goes sailing one
weekend from their Nantucket beach estate and never comes home. When his
abandoned yacht is found far out to sea, the police investigation reveals Brookstein’s
death is no accident. It turns out that he was involved in some sort of spectacular
fraud and that he was about to be exposed by someone close to him.
But as Lenny’s Bernie Madoff-like Ponzi scheme comes to light, Grace learns there
was more to his boating “accident” than she originally thought. And suddenly her
life may be in danger too.

When Decker does a favor for a friend, Teresa McLaughlin, he unwittingly lets
her husband, the sociopath Chris Donatti back into his life. Soon after, Terry
goes missing and Donatti disappears and Peter and Rina must take in their 14
year old son. But, as Decker hunts for his missing friend, two young women,
both call girls, are found murdered.
Coincidence or something more nefarious? Who are these women and why
are they being murdered? Is a serial killer on the loose or have Decker and his
detectives hit upon a prostitution ring gone awry?
As Decker navigates a treacherous world of killers, hookers and thieves,
he is thrust into a dark world of violence and perversions where women are
commodities, bought and sold to the highest bidder. There is peril hidden at
every twist and turn.
And equally as important, where is Terry McLaughlin or Chris Donatti? What
will happen to their young son in their absence? Would Decker be endangering
his family by keeping the adolescent boy under their roof for more than a day
or two?
Because with Donatti on the loose, no one is ever really safe.

The heroes from EXECUTIVE PRIVILEGE are back! This time Brad Miller, Keith Evans,
and Dana Cutler are called to untangle a five-year-old case involving a ghost ship and the
President’s nominee to the U.S. Supreme Court.
Sarah Woodruff is on death row in Oregon for murdering her lover, John Finley. Woodruff
was tried for Finley’s murder once before but the case was dismissed mid-trial when the judge
was slipped irrefutable proof that Finley was still alive.
Meanwhile in the Justice chambers, trouble is brewing. Justice Ronald Chalmers resigns,
creating a vacancy that Dennis Masterson, former head of the CIA, is seeking to fill. Things
take a more ominous turn when another Justice is attacked for no apparent reason. These
suspicious instances call for outside help, which is where private detective Dana Cutler and
FBI Agent Keith Evans come in. Together with Brad Miller, they try to find out if the incidents
are linked with the Woodruff appeal and a shoot-out years ago on a small freighter docked
upriver in Shelby, Oregon, containing a dead crew and oil drums filled with drugs. The only
survivor on the ship? John Finley.
Brad, Keith, and Dana’s investigations lead them to a plot by a rogue element in the American
intelligence community that involves the President’s nominee to the Supreme Court, putting
them back in the grips of a deadly, executive danger. With nonstop action, SUPREME
JUSTICE picks up where EXECUTIVE PRIVILEGE left off and puts readers right back where
they were--on the edge of their seats.

During a sweat lodge ceremony in an Indian cave in the Rocky Mountains, a
horrible massacre ensues. Bodies are found blistered and burned and purposefully
positioned to form two shapes: a five-pointed star and a sickle-shaped moon.
One man recognizes the warning behind the gruesome murders: Painter Crowe,
director of Sigma. He has seen these two symbols before, tattooed into the skull
of a traitor. He knows the deaths were a personal threat-especially since of one of
the dead is his beloved cousin. Seeking revenge as well as answers will send Crowe
down a dark path that will lay bare secrets hidden since the founding of America.
From the frozen volcanic peaks of Iceland to the blistering deserts of the American
Southwest, from the tombs of dead presidents to the gold vaults of Fort Knox,
Crowe joins forces with Commander Grayson Pierce and an unlikely ally—a
woman who may have had a hand in the murders—to penetrate the shadowy heart
of a dark cabal that has been manipulating American history since the founding of
the thirteen colonies.
But can Crowe discover the truth—one that could topple the government—before
it destroys all he holds dear…including the woman he loves?

Ten years since his exile to the Holy Land, Arn Magnusson has quickly risen in the
ranks of the Knights Templar, serving as Master of the organization’s Gaza fortress.
Part of the last bastion of God’s holy warriors standing between Muslim warlords
and Jerusalem, Arn has cultivated a shrewd understanding of his enemy’s language
and religion. Known as Al-Ghouti among the Saracens, he is feared as a man of
compassion but also great strength, who never wavers in his faith.
Meanwhile, in Western Götaland, the struggle for the crown continues as competing
clans vie for power. Cecilia, Arn’s betrothed, lives out her parallel sentence confined
to a cloister. With Arn in her prayers, she is forced to send off their newborn son to
be raised by relatives. Gudhem convent isn’t immune from the tensions throwing
the kingdom into turmoil, and Cecilia suffers at the hand of a cruel abbess from the
rival Sverker clan, who lets politics get in the way of Christian compassion.
In the Gaza desert, Arn rescues a wealthy Arab merchant from a band of thieves,
and the two instantly strike up a friendship based on mutual respect. But when the
man turns out to be none other than Saladin, the most feared and loathed of Saracen
warlords, Arn is divided between his God-given mission and the reality of life in
these war-torn lands. The paths of the two men are bound to cross again, but the
chance encounter in the desert will alter the course of Arn’s life, and the history of
Jerusalem.
