Up All Night
My Life and Times in Rock Radio
Carol Miller
Summary
From America's premiere female rock 'n roll disc jockey-recognized by the Rock and Roll
Hall of Fame-comes the story of her four-decade rise to success in the male-dominated
music industry, the rock stars she's met, and her secret battle with a deadly illness,
never revealed to her listeners until now
Growing up in a traditional, intellectual ethnic Jewish household in Queens, New York,
Carol Miller was supposed to be a doctor or, at the very least, a lawyer. But hearing a
doo-wop trio in the alley under her window changed the direction of her life: she fell in
love with popular music. During the late 60s, as the rock explosion and rebellion hit
American colleges, including the University of Pennsylvania where she was a biology
student, Carol joined the "underground" airwaves of progressive rock radio.

There is no "you" consciously making decisions. Actions get underway before your brain
is conscious of them. About this much, most neuroscientists agree. So how do we make
decisions? How can we have free will if we don't pull the levers on our own behavior?
What moral and legal implications follow if we don't have free will?
In this essential new book, the father of cognitive neuroscience, Michael S. Gazzaniga,
reframes the age-old debate surrounding free-will to account for our new understanding
of the brain. The issue is not whether we are "free" to make choices; rather it is
whether there is a scientific reason that we should not hold people ...

Mick Jagger is something of a paradox: wildly famous but infamously enigmatic. Popular
culture portrays him as the Rock Star ne plus ultra-decadent, rebellious, and selfinterested-yet Norman reveals a Jagger far more complex and ultimately compelling: a
deeply serious musician and songwriter, not only a performer, whose conservative
childhood continued to shape and affect his bohemian adulthood. Based on over four
years of exhaustive, in-depth research, Mick Jagger is ...

world's most acclaimed restaurants since he was fourteen. Five years ago he traded
fine-dining-with its endless pomp and bottomless resources-for the freedom to cook
outside the box. The result was LudoBites, a "touring" restaurant that, like a rock 'n roll
band, roves the streets of Los Angeles, playing to different sold-out crowds every four
months.
LudoBites is the chronicle of that journey. Each chapter showcases the story and the
wildly inventive food of the seven different LudoBites incarnations, with recipes that
merge the techniqu...

CookFight
Julia Moskin, Kim Severson
Summary
A humorous and inspiring cookbook that pits the strategies and recipes of two popular
New York Times food writers against each other as they take on the challenges of
today's home cook, with an introduction by Frank Bruni
In 2009, Julia Moskin and Kim Severson, who were both staff reporters for the New York
Times Dining section, faced off in a dinner duel mediated by Frank Bruni, the paper's
legendary restaurant critic. Armed with only $50.00, they each prepared a meal for six,
a culinary battle non pareil that was prominently featured in the paper and quickly
became one of that month's most emailed stories.
Building on that success, Moskin and Severson extended their duel into a year-long
kitchen war. Cookfight captures the delicious results of that brinksmanship as each
chapter chronicles Moskin and Severson confronting a new challenge, from the "budget"
challenge reported in the Times to a "Farmers Market Challenge" challenge to a "Dinner
Party" challenge. In each chapter, th...

At the turn of the twentieth century, in a rural stretch of the Pacific Northwest in the

the grove of fruit trees he has cultivated for nearly half a century. A gentle, solitary

he grows, and in the quiet, beating heart of the land-the valley of yellow grass
bordering a deep canyon that has been his home since he was nine years old.
Everything he is and has known is tied to this patch of earth. It is where his widowed

Summary
The bestselling author of the critically acclaimed The Madonnas of Leningrad, returns
with a breathtaking historical novel, set against the unparalleled extravagance and
artifice of the royal court in eighteenth century St. Petersburg-a world of ice palaces,
glittering opera, and lavish balls-that imaginatively reconstructs the life of one of
Russia's most revered and mysterious holy figures, St. Xenia
Born to a Russian family of lower nobility, Xenia is a passionate and tender dreamer who
cares little for social conventions. A free spirit, she unexpectedly falls in love with the
dashing Andrei, a handsome soldier with the Imperial choir. Though husband and wife
are devoted to each other, their perfect happiness is overshadowed by the petty
demands of life at the royal court, and by Xenia's growing obsession to have a child-a

Summary
Harper Business Trade Paperback Original
In this illuminating and humorous journey through the financial markets, a veteran
financial reporter translates the language of finance for the average American, offering
clear, relatable explanations and definitions of the instruments of our financial system
After years of media coverage, do we really understand the financial engineering that
brought the global economy to the brink? The lexicon of the markets is laden with terms
and acronyms like leverage, securitization, MBS, CDS, and CDO. How can the average
person crack the code?
Veteran journalist, senior producer at NPR's Marketplace, and "Whiteboard Guru." Paddy
Hirsch proves it's not impossible to understand what goes on in the glass and steel
canyons of Wall Street. In Man vs. Markets, he shows how most international financial

Children of the Revolution
How Identity Studies Have Destroyed American Higher Education
Bruce Bawer
Summary
Broadside Books
New York Times Bestselling Author
A sobering, cogent, and sweeping critique of the identy-based revolution that swept
American campuses forty years ago and its impact on politics and society today
The 1960s and 1970s were a time of revolution in America's universities as a new
generation of scholars rejected traditional humanism in favor of a radical ideology that
denied esthetic merit and objective truth. This new philosophy insisted that our
thoughts about human behavior, our statements about the nature of man, and all ideas
were nothing more or less than assertions of power. Traditional values of truth,
goodness, and beauty were disparaged as weapons in an ongoing struggle of the
powerful against the powerless.
Once, the purpose of higher education was to introduce students to the glories of
Western civilization. But this new generation of educators sought instead to unmask the
West as the perpetrator of global injustice via colonialism, imperialism, and capit...

I Am the Change
Barack Obama and the Fourth Wave of Liberalism
Charles Kesler
Summary
Broadside Books
Is Barack Obama the last liberal president? Charles Kesler's sophisticated analysis of
Obama's political thought shows that he represents either a new birth of liberalism-or its
demise
Who is Barack Obama? Though many liberals wonder if he really believes in anything,
Charles Kesler argues that these disappointed liberals don't appreciate the scope of the
president's ambition or the long-term stakes for which he is playing.
Conservatives also misunderstand Obama, according to this leading conservative
scholar, educator, and journalist. They dismiss him as a socialist, hopelessly out of
touch with the American mainstream. The fringe Right dwells on Obama's Muslim
upbringing, his missing birth certificate, Bill Ayers' supposed authorship of his books.
What mainstream and fringe have in common is a stubborn underestimation of the man
and the political movement he embodies.
Written with a sophisticated mix of philosophy, journalism, psychology, history
complemented b...

Stretching across three centuries, from the start of the Civil War through two World

generations of men-fathers, sons, and brothers-took a small, bankrupt brewery on the

America's past and present-a tale of promise and fulfillment for immigrants like Adolphus
Busch, determined to strike it rich; and of a modern generation who squandered that

Peter Townshend
Summary
The Rock & Roll legend comes clean about his life, including his struggles with drugs,
sex, and the ghosts of his tumultuous upbringing in this piercing memoir that is also an
extremely intimate portrait of an all-time great band as it rocketed to international fame
and fortune
Ruthlessly considered, written with all his heart, Untitled spans the life of one of

the The Who Pete Townshend.
Raised by his mentally disabled grandmother in West London while his parents lived the
early rock-and-roll, post-war lifestyle, Pete Townshend describes a frenetic childhood of
displacement and abuse. Adolescence was defined by music and his friendship with
Roger Daltrey, the schoolmate with whom he would form the first incarnation of a band
that would travel the world and lead them into the inner sanctums of guitar gods Eric
Clapton and Jimi Hendrix.

Zumwalt
The Life and Times of Admiral Elmo Russell "Bud" Zumwalt, Jr.
Larry Berman
Summary
A compelling portrait of the controversial admiral widely regarded as the founder of the
modern Navy, implementing major strategic innovations that endure to this day,
especially in his campaign against racism and sexism throughout the fleet-a portrait of
leadership that is essential for our time
Admiral Elmo Russell Zumwalt, the charismatic Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) and "the
Navy's most popular leader since WWII" (Time) was a man who embodied honor,
courage, and commitment to those under his command. In a naval career spanning forty
years, he rose to the top echelon of the US Navy, as a commander of all Navy forces in
Vietnam and then as CNO (1970-1974). His tenure came at a time of scandal and
tumult, from the Soviet's challenge to U.S. naval supremacy and a duplicitous endgame
in Vietnam to Watergate and an admirals' spy ring.

In The Naked Constitution, conservative legal scholar Adam Freedman defends
originalism as the only way to restore the Founding Fathers' vision of American liberty.
Freedman argues that the fashionable "Living Constitution" theory has been used by
judges and politicians since the Progressive era of the early 1900s to centralize power in
Washington and threaten individual freedom. From FDR's New Deal to the Warren Court's
invention of phony rights to Obama's national healthcare mandate, America's elites have
come to regard the Constitution as a mere decorative parchment to be kept under glass
at the National Archives.
The Naked Constitution explains the fundamental themes animating America's founding
charter: limited government, federalism, separation-of-powers, and individual liberty.

Thornton Wilder
A Life
Penelope Niven
Summary
The definitive, and only available, biography of one of the greatest American
playwrights, novelists, and literary icons-and the first based on unprecedented access
to the writer's papers, including private family records-presenting a three-dimensional
portrait of the artist as never seen before
A son, brother, student, teacher, novelist, playwright, lecturer, actor, musician, soldier,
and man of letters, Thornton Wilder was a multifaceted international public figure-and
an enigmatic and intensely private man. Throughout his life, the three-time Pulitzer Prize
winning playwright and novelist wandered the world, writing, he said, for and about
Everybody, Everyman, Everywoman-works that made him a pivotal figure in American
twentieth century arts and letters and which remain relevant today. Yet despite the
visibility of Wilder the writer, far too little has been known or understood about Wilder
the man.

A groundbreaking narrative-an historical politcal thriller-that explores the role of the

Diaries:1970-1983
Christopher Isherwood
Summary
Candid and revealing, the final volume of Christopher Isherwood's diaries brings together
his thoughts on life, love and death
"[Isherwood] is quite simply a marvelous diarist, one of the very best in a long tradition
of English diarists starting with Samuel Pepys."-Washington Times
In this final volume of his diaries, the capstone of a million-word masterwork,
Christopher Isherwood greets advancing age with poignant humour and an unquenchable
appetite for the new; aches, illnesses, and diminishing powers are clues to a
predicament still unfathomed. The mainstays of his mature contentment, his Hindu guru,
Swami Prabhavananda and his long term companion, Don Bachardy, draw from him an
unexpected high tide of joy and love.
Around his private religious and domestic routines orbit friends both anonymous and
infamous. Thanks to Bachardy's burgeoning career, Isherwood became part of the 1970s
art scene in Los Angeles, New York, and London, meeting Rauschenberg, Ruscha, and
Warhol, Hock...
Author Bio
Christopher Isherwood (1904-1986) was one of the most celebrated writers of his
generation and the author of more than twenty books. His best-known work, Goodbye
to Berlin, was developed into the musical Cabaret, the film version of which later won
eight Academy Awards. Born in England, Isherwood moved to the United States in 1939
and settled in Santa Monica, California.

Titian
His Life
Sheila Hale
Summary
Magisterial and accessible, this first definitive biography of the great Renaissance
painter in over a century is a landmark achievement
Born in the mountains above Venice in the late fifteenth-century, Tiziano Vecellio-or
Titian-was the greatest painter of the Italian High Renaissance, an artist whose poetic
vision and mastery of oil pigments made him into an international celebrity and continues
to inspire working painters to this day. He lived in a Venice that was the most populous,
celebrated, and visited city in Europe, painting everything from frescos, grand
altarpieces, mythological stories, and portraits that were described by his
contemporaries as "mirrors of nature."
More has been written about Titian than about any other Renaissance artist apart from
Michelangelo. Sheila Hale's rich and monumental biography is, however, the first since
1877 to examine all contemporary accounts of Titian's life and work, and to take into
account recent art historical research and scholarsh...
Author Bio
Sheila Hale has known and often lived in Venice since 1965 when she began work as
research assistant to the late John Hale, with whom she worked on Renaissance Venice
and The Civilization of Europe in the Renaissance. Her guidebook to Venice, first
published in 1984, was praised by David Lodge as '"the best guidebook I have ever used"
and by Eric Newby as deserving "a Nobel prize." She has written...

The Story of Seeking Solace in the Unusual

Summary
Girl Interrupted meets Miranda July-with a touch of Joan Didion-in this illustrated
collection of original narratives revolving around an expatriate's coming of age in Paris,
told in curious objects
An awkward, curious girl growing up in a foreign country, Stephanie LaCava finds solace
and security in strange and beautiful objects. When her father's mysterious job
transports her and her family to the Parisian suburb of Le Vesinet, the young American
embarks on a life of discovery. Tasting the enchantments of Paris, she makes friends
with her peers at a wildly unconventional international school and faces terrorism. But
Stephanie's wonder gives way to anxiety and a deep depression brought on by a series
of circumstances.
Through her darkest moments, Stephanie continues to filter the world through her
peculiar lens, discovering the strange beauty surrounding her. The grotesque (beetles
and catacombs), the natural (mushrooms and lilies of the valley) the cultural (Nirvana

Hollywood Costume Design.
In our minds, who is Marilyn Monroe without the billowing white dress of The Seven Year
Itch, or Harrison Ford without his fedora and bullwhip? Yet before a movie costume can
transform an actors into an icon, it exists first in the mind of the costume designer, who
must render illustration after illustration, bringing the characters to life with watercolor,
paint, and pencil before committing to one stitch or cut of fabric-and before the
costumes that define cinema's greatest stars sear themselves into our memories
forever.

In this new book, Koethe's poems move easily between autobiographical anecdote and
philosophical reflection.
"ROTC Kills," the provocatively titled poem that gives its name to the collection, is a
wistful reflection upon the '60s as viewed from forty years later. "The Red Shoes" uses
the 1948 film of Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tale to evoke memories of the poet's
childhood and of his conflicted love for his mother. In "The Great Gatsby," Koethe brings

The Seventeen Solutions
New Ideas for Our American Future
Ralph Nader
Summary
A Paperback Original
From one of the most important and provocative progressive voices in American history
comes a new program to rescue America from our intractable fiscal and social distress
In 2007, Ralph Nader published The Seventeen Traditions, a small-format, thoughtful
survey of seventeen lessons in ethics and values he took away from his small-town
Connecticut childhood. Now, five years later-in a much more desperate time-he returns
to this bite-size, accessible format to offer seventeen ambitious but common-sense
solutions to the nation's seemingly intractable economic and social problems.

A Memoir
Periel Aschenbrand
Summary
A Paperback Original
A bawdy and unabashed memoir of the author's journey from soul-crushing break-up to
unexpected love, perfect for readers who love the humor of Chelsea Handler
"Ribald, outrageous, gutter-mouthed, hilarious-a startling new voice in American letters.
Watch out Portnoy, watch out Caulfield, watch out Bukowski, watch out Candace
Bushnell. Hell, everybody, real or imagined, just watch out! Because here comes Periel
Aschenbrand!" -Jonathan Ames
Periel Aschenbrand seems to have no fear. Not only has she appeared naked on the
cover of her first book cover, but she's started her own political t-shirt line with sayings
like "The Only Bush I Trust Is My Own," and "If It's Date Rape, Do I Get Dinner?" But
after she breaks up with her longtime boyfriend, shortly following her deeply beloved
grandmother's passing, the normally indomitable Periel finds herself demoralized, sinking
into the midst of a major life low, and questioning whether she'll ever bounce back, find

Like a Ben Mezrich story retold by Tom Perrotta or Tim Dorsey-a rollicking debut
following one desperate, disgruntled Silicon Valley speechwriter as he scrambles to cash
out and dump his hated high-tech job before a band of outrageous villains (and a few
even crazier friends) destroys him
"Cash Out is one of those novels that begs for more adjectives: relentless, madcap,
polished, lean, vivid, warped, original, horrifying and hilarious in equal measure. It's like
the spawn of mad monkey sex between Charlie Huston and Duane Swierczynski. Which
is a good thing." -Marcus Sakey, award-winning author of The Two Deaths of Daniel

Grandfather John Vogelin's land is his life-a barren stretch of New Mexican wilderness,
mercifully bypassed by civilization. Then the government moves in. And suddenly the
elderly, mule-stubborn rancher is confronting the combined land-grabbing greed of the
County Sheriff, the Department of the Interior, the Atomic Energy Commission, and the
U.S. Air Force. But a tough old man is like a mountain lion: if you back him into a corner,

When Harriet Vane attends her Oxford reunion, known as the "Gaudy," the prim
academic setting is haunted by a rash of bizarre pranks: scrawled obscentities, burnt
effigies and poison-pen letters-including one that says, "Ask your boyfriend with the
title if he likes arsenic in his soup." Some of the notes threaten murder; all are perfectly
ghastly; yet in spite of their scurrilous nature, all are perfectly worded. And Harriet finds
herself ensnared in a nightmare of romance and terror, with only the tiniest shreds of
clues to challenge her powers of detection, and those of her paramour, Lord Peter
Wimsey.

The mystery writer Harriet Vane, recovering from an unhappy love affair and its

body of a bearded young man with his throat cut. From the moment she photographs
the corpse, which soon disappears with the tide, she is puzzled by a mystery that might
have been suicide, murder, or a political plot. With the appearance of her dear friend
Lord Peter Wimsey, however, she finds another reason to pursue the mystery-as only
the two of them can pursue it.

A Memoir
Sophia Al-Maria
Summary
A Paperback Original
An award-winning young filmmaker and writer's funny and wry coming-of-age memoir
about growing up in between the American and Arab cultures
Born to an American mother from Washington State and a Bedouin father from the State
of Qatar, Sophia Al-Maria knew that the two sides of her family were very different. As
a child she found escape in imaginary worlds of fantasy and sci-fi, which eventually
turned into reality when she moved from the peaceful green valleys of the Pacific
Northwest to the noisy bustle of her father's family in Doha, Qatar, to attend school.
Along the way she finds young love in the Arabian Gulf, rebellion in Cairo, and, finally,
self discovery in the mountains of Sinai.
Both a family saga and the search for an answer to the most personal of quests, The
Girl Who Fell to Earth illuminates the common predicament of being a stranger among
one's relatives with both humor and poignancy, and in doing so heralds the arrival of an

The 2011 National Poetry Series selection, as chosen by D.A. Powell

of Marcus Wicker, whose lyric wizardry astounds the ear in conclamant melodies and
astonishes the eye 'like a shard of glass catches a beam'." -D.A. Powell
A winner of the 2010 National Poetry Series Prize as selected by D.A. Powell, Marcus
Wicker's Maybe the Saddest Thing continues NPS's thirty-year tradition of promoting

An Extraordinary Story of Women, Friendship, and Resistance in Occupied France

In January 1943, 230 women of the French Resistance were sent to the death camps by
the Nazis who had invaded and occupied their country: This is their story, told in full for
the first time-a searing and unforgettable chronicle of terror, courage, defiance,
survival, and the power of friendship to transcend evil, and an essential addition to the
history of World War II
"A necessary book. . . . The literature of wartime France and the Holocaust is by now
so vast as to confound the imagination, but when a book as good as this comes along,
we are reminded that there is always room for something new." -Jonathan Yardley,

Burn this Book is a powerful collection of essays that explore the meaning of censorship,
and the power of literature to inform the way we see the world, and ourselves.
Contributors include literary heavyweights like Toni Morrison, Salman Rushdie, Orhan
Pamuk, David Grossman and Nadine Gordimer, and others
"It's a slim volume, one that can be read in an afternoon, but don't let this fool you into
thinking it lacks power. Morrison's-and the book's-central thesis is true, if not
necessarily original: 'A writer's life and work are not a gift to mankind; they are its
necessity.'" -Los Angeles Times

From repeat New York Times bestselling author Christopher Moore comes a love story,
the portrait of a young artist, the portrait of the young artist's girlfriend, a mystery, a
thriller, and a comedy -- all about the color blue.
Sacre Bleu. Or "sacred blue," named for the color of the cloak of the Virgin Mary, is
made from crushed lapis lazuli, a gemstone that has been prized since antiquity for its
intense blue hue. Brought from the Orient by camel and ship, across deserts and over
mountains, the finest blue pigment is infused with danger and adventure and, some say,
supernatural powers. Interestingly, there is nary of mention of the color blue in all the
extant writing of the ancient Greeks and Romans; nor does Roman Catholic liturgy
mention the color blue until the 12th century. Really. Hmmm. Tres interessant . . .

Sacking Obesity
Tiger Greene
Summary
Sacking Obesity presents the weight loss and wellness program envisioned by Tiger
Greene who created Sacking Obesity camps for kids and families.
Tiger Greene had always been a "big kid," but by age 12 he weighed 250 pounds-twice
the normal weight for a child of his age. He had sleep apnea, was pre-diabetic, and had
signs of fatty liver disease andheart damage-all due to his obesity.
He realized that he needed to make a change. But unlike viewers of The Biggest Loser,
which is really for grownups, there were no TV shows he could turn to for inspiration, or
any other "big kids" who were winning the battle with weight loss whose behavior he
could emulate. So he decided to become that very kid. In addition, he decided to
change not only his own life, but also the lives of other overweight kids, and started,
along with his father, a non-profit foundation called Team Tiger to help kids fight
childhood obesity.

The family that was the inspiration for Big Love writes the first-ever memoir of a
polygamist family that captures the extraordinary workings of their day-to-day life and
makes a strong argument for the acceptance of plural marriage.
For decades, Utah's polygamous families have sought to remain out of sight and out of
mind. Men in particular risk prosecution and economic blacklisting when their multiple
marriages become known. But now, Joe, Alina, Vickie and Valerie Darger will open up
their lives in this personal book-length account of their lives. An attractive, suburban
family that look like your average American, they live in the suburbs of Salt Lake City
with twenty of their children.

Critical Decisions
How You and Your Doctor Can Make the Right Medical Choices Together
Peter A. Ubel
Summary
Combining riveting medical stories with groundbreaking decision-making research,
physician and behavioral scientist Dr. Peter Ubel reveals the next revolution in medical
decision making.
As recently as the 1970's, doctors took on a paternalistic role in our medical lives, often
withholding crucial diagnostic information if they didn't think we could handle it. The
patient empowerment revolution changed that, giving patients a new voice within
doctors' offices. But, according to Dr. Peter Ubel, the movement has not led to better
medical decisions. There is a vital next step to becoming healthier and happier patients.

God Is Red
The Secret Story of How Christianity Survived and Flourished in Communist China
Liao Yiwu
Summary
Formerly imprisoned and celebrated Chinese dissident author Liao Yiwu, who is not a
Christian, profiles the extraordinary lives of dozens of ordinary Chinese believers,
providing a rare glimpse into the secret world of the growing church in this officially
atheistic state.
God Is Red puts a human face on the battles staged by ordinary Chinese Christians
against the officially secular state, as they effectively fight to practice their religion in a
hostile environment. Liao began researching the church in China and learned about the
thriving underground Christian movement. In villages impoverished by isolation and
largely neglected by modernization, Liao stumbled upon a vibrant Christian community
that had sprung from the work of western missionaries in the late nineteenth and early
twentieth centuries and was granted rare access for an outsider.

Keeping It Real with the Housewife Who Does It All
Kyle Richards
Summary
A how-to-be-fabulous guide from the breakout star of Bravo's The Real Housewives of
Beverly Hills-she'll tackle everything from how she keeps her marriage fresh and juggles
four kids (with not nanny in sight) to where she gets the best beauty steals and homedecorating inspirations
In the wild world of Beverly Hills (according to Bravo, at least), high-priced glam squads,
flashy cars, and off-the-charts drama are the norm. Enter Kyle Richards: Sister of Kim
Richards and Kathy Hilton (and aunt, of course, to Paris!), she's practically royalty in
the 90210 zip code. And yet her loving family life, lack of pretention (no nannies,
stylists, or personal chefs for this diva), and "girl's girl" attitude made her a breath of
fresh air on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.

Appetite for Life
The Thumbs-Up, No-Yucks Guide to Getting Your Kid to Be a Great Eater-Including Over 100 Kid-Approved Recipes
Stacey Antine
Summary
A fun, practical, and proven guide to create healthy eaters from early childhood on,
with nutritious, easy-to-make recipes for meals and snacks throughout the day, from
HealthBarn USA founder and CEO Stacey Antine.
From Fruit Rollups to Pop Tarts, Chicken Nuggets to Lunchables, most of the food we
think of as "kid-friendly" is hardly healthy. The food companies have convinced us that
we have to package food for kids into something fake, colored, and far from its natural
source. No wonder our kids fight us when we tell them to eat their vegetables. It
doesn't come in a box!

Blind Spot
Why We Fail to See the Solution Right in Front of Us
Gordon Rugg
Summary
Gordon Rugg reveals how he has used his own 7-step Verifier Method to crack the code
to problems that have befuddled experts for years.
In 2004, Gordon Rugg began work on the Voynich Manuscript-the world's most
mysterious book that was discovered in 1912 by a book dealer Wilfrid Voynich and dates
back to the 16th century. Written in an unknown language with bizarre illustrations, the
Voynich Manuscript has been the ultimate stumbling block for renowned code crackers
for almost 100 years and has a cult following the world over.

The Law of Divine Compensation
Marianne Williamson
Summary
Bestselling author and world-renowned teacher Marianne Williamson (Return to Love, A
Course in Weight Loss) reveals the spiritual principles that help us overcome financial
stress and unleash the divine power of abundance.
Learn the secrets of the divine law of compensation: There are two realms that we
have the ability to inhabit: the physical realm and the spiritual realm. In the physical
realm, we find ourselves stressed by debt, unemployment, health bills, and more. These
fears are real, but we don't have to find ourselves stuck there. Instead, we can enter
the spiritual realm, where God has promised to make abundance and prosperity available
to us all. We operate by the laws of the world we inhabit. We do not need to be
worried; we do not need to be preoccupied with our current financial situation; we do
not need to fear the future. We just need to have the right mindset, the right faith that
the power of God can and will work with the universe to produce miracles in our lives....

The Pastor
A Memoir
Eugene H. Peterson
Summary
Translator of the multi-million selling The Message, The Pastor is Eugene Peterson's
inspiring memoir of stumbling into his vocation and the surprisingly difficult journey to
discovering what pastors are actually supposed to do.
Eugene Peterson never wanted to be a pastor. That's why in 1962, when Peterson was
asked by the Presbyterian Church USA to begin a new church outside Baltimore and he
accepted, no one was more surprised than he.

And so was born Christ Our King Presbyterian Church. Peterson quickly learned that he
was not exactly sure what a pastor should do. He had met many ministers in his life,
from his Pentecostal upbringing in Montana to his seminary days in New York, and he
admired a few, but for all his study and all his experience, he soon became overwhelmed
by the variety and quantity of the tasks before him. The demands would drown him
unless he figured out a way to measure what the heart of the job really was and
whether he was living up to his calling. And that h...

Out in time for his likely canonization in 2013, comes a profile of Pope John XXIII, the
"Good Pope" as a greatly beloved figure who ushered in an era of hope and openness in

The Second Vatican Council was one of the most historic church councils, and its
legacy still reverberates through the Catholic Church today. Because of this historic
meeting, Catholics hear the mass in their own language with a priest facing them, are
encouraged to read the Bible for themselves, and lay people are even encouraged to
take on leadership positions in the church. In The Good Pope and His Great Council,

A Life with God in 12 Simple Words
Brian D. McLaren
Summary
Controversial church leader Brian McLaren does here for spirituality what he did for
Christian beliefs in A New Kind of Christianity: shunning old practices that hinder our
spiritual growth and offering spiritual practices to help transform our lives.
Many people are stuck with an understanding of prayer that doesn't go beyond Sunday
school memorizations and desperate petitions in time of need. Here, McLaren offers new
hope to those who are disillusioned by religious dogma and disheartened by unanswered
prayers.

How the Sun Shaped Our Past and Threatens Our Future
Lawrence E. Joseph
Summary
In this riveting and groundbreaking account of our history, science journalist Lawrence
Joseph reveals the monumental ways the sun's activities have influenced our cultural,
climatic, and economic past and may be the key to our future.
The connection between solar activity and human history has been largely untold. With
an engaging voice and never before seen research, bestselling author Lawrence Joseph
offers evidence that changes in the sun's behavior not only provoke shifts in the
climate, but also disrupt our personal lives, determine the course of history, and shape
our destiny. More importantly, the sun continues to communicate with us and change
our daily lives, and in 2012 scientists predict one of the greatest solar activity years in
history, which could have a huge impact on our world.

Between Heaven and Mirth
Why Joy, Humor, and Laughter Are at the Heart of the Spiritual Life
James Martin
Summary
From the New York Times bestselling author of The Jesuit Guide to (Almost) Everything
comes a hope- and humor-filled plea to recover the most neglectedhallmark of faith- life
filled with joy, laughter, and delight in God and with each other.
Joy is an essential element of a healthy spirituality. Yet many people believe that being
religious means being deadly serious. This is all the more surprising when we look at the
great biblical heroes and heroines, and the lives of the saints and world's spiritual
masters, and see how the theme of joy, humor, and laughter runs like a bright thread
through the spiritual life.
Readers will learn how to discover joy in their spiritual lives, how to live as joyful
believers, how to laugh at themselves, and even how to relate to God with a smile.

As a traditional psychotherapist, Dr. Brian Weiss was astonished and skeptical when one
of his patients began recalling past-life traumas that seemed to hold the key to her
recurring nightmares and anxiety attacks. His skepticism was eroded, however, when
she began to channel messages from "the space between lives," which contained
remarkable revelations about Dr. Weiss's family and his dead son. Using past-life
therapy, he was able to cure the patient and embark on a new, more meaningful phase
of his own career. Since that first experience, Dr. Weiss has become a leader in the field
of past life therapy showing individuals how the concepts of reincarnation and past life

My Life, Deleted
A Memoir
Scott Bolzan, Joan Bolzan, Caitlin Rother
Summary
The true story of a 46-year-old man who suffered permanent amnesia-losing all
memories of his past, his wife and children, his likes and dislikes, and even how to
navigate the pace and gadgetry of the 21st century-and fought to build a new life.
Scott Bolzan went to work on December 17, 2008, like any other Wednesday. By that
afternoon, he'd lost every memory of his past.
Awakening in a hospital with no memory of who he was or how he got there, the fortysix-year-old didn't know that the petite blonde at his side was his wife of twenty-four
years, Joan-or even what a wife was. He couldn't remember the births of his two
young-adult children, the daughter he'd lost, his time as an offensive lineman for the
NFL's Cleveland Browns, or his flourishing aviation career.

Toxic Charity
How Churches and Charities Hurt Those They Help (And How to Reverse It)
Robert D. Lupton
Summary
Veteran urban activist Robert Lupton reveals the scandalous toxic effects on the
recipients of charity and provides new, proven models for how groups can actually help
those they want to serve.
Churches and charities have fallen into the bad habit of creating programs to help the
poor when in reality the only people they are helping are themselves, creating a toxic
charity that needs to be reexamined and fixed.

In this groundbreaking book, Lupton shows how good-intentioned people are actually
hurting the very people they're trying to help. The poor end up feeling judged, looked
down upon, only worthy of charity and handouts that end up making them more
dependent instead of learning skills to help themselves. Churches and charitable
organizations, though good-intentioned, have missed the mark when it comes to serving
the poor, creating a toxic form of charity. Lupton says that a better system would be to
treat the poor as business partners, empowering them to start businesses, build ho...

A Medical Mistake, the Baby We Couldn't Keep, and Our Choice to Deliver the
Ultimate Gift
Carolyn Savage, Sean Savage
Summary
The riveting emotional and spiritual journey behind the headline-making medical mistake:
how one couple was implanted with the wrong embryo, carrried the baby to term, and
made the ultimate sacrifice of handing the baby over to his biological parents.
The new life in Carolyn's womb was supposed to be her miracle - a beloved baby
conceived by in vitro fertilization after years of trying for a bigger family. But on the
very day the clinic phoned to confirm her pregnancy, her husband broke the news:
You're pregnant, but they transferred the wrong embryos.

The Triumph of Christianity
How the Jesus Movement Became the World's Largest Religion
Rodney Stark
Summary
A highly regarded religious and social historian traces the extraordinary rise of
Christianity through its most pivotal, and controversial, moments to offer fresh
perspective on well-known events.
How did an obscure Jewish sect-likely numbering no more than several hundred people
when the provincial teacher at its heart was executed by the Romans-become the
largest religion in the world?
Religious historian and sociologist Rodney Stark has spent his career engaging with that
very question. Indeed, after thirty highly regarded books on the matter, he has created
a true master course in Christian history. Now, for the first time, he distills his research
to just the most important and interesting episodes-the seminal moments in the story
that, he now believes, demand new perspectives.

The Kingdom New Testament
A Contemporary Translation
N. T. Wright
Summary
N.T. Wright, premiere Bible scholar of our time and Anglican bishop, provides a new way
to encounter the world-changing teachings of the New Testament by offering a more
vibrant and accurate rendition into English of the original Greek text.
Most readers of the New Testament have grown overly familiar with the biblical text,
losing sight of the wonder and breadth of its innovative ideas and world-changing
teachings about the life and role of Jesus of Nazareth. Wright now offers an all-new
English translation that allows us to encounter afresh these historic works. The original
Greek text is vibrant, alive, and active, and Wright's translation retains that spirit by
providing a new English text for the twenty-first-century reader. At the same time,
based on his work as a pioneering interpreter of the Bible, Wright also corrects other
translations so as to provide more accurate representations of the original writers'
intent.

Laying Down the Sword
Why We Can't Ignore the Bible's Violent Verses
Philip Jenkins
Summary
A fearless examination of the dark and violent verses of the Bible-by "one of America's
best scholars of religion" (The Economist)-and a call to read them anew in pursuit of a
richer, more honest faith.
The Western world is clinging to a dangerous perception: The Qur'an teaches warfare,
but the Bible's message is one of love and charity. Laying Down the Sword brings to
light biblical texts that have been hidden from view and overturns popular stereotypes
that continue to generate more heat than light.

In many eras, Christianity has initiated more violence and bloodshed than any other
religious tradition-and could again, under the right conditions. However, fanaticism is no
more hardwired in Christianity than in Islam. And, as Philip Jenkins demonstrates with
stunning historical and sociological evidence, the mere existence of bloody sacred texts
does not lead to violence. So what does motivate religious adherents to seize upon
violent verses?

Past Lives of the Rich and Famous
Sylvia Browne
Summary
From renowned New York Times bestselling author Sylvia Browne, a rare and riveting
look at the lives of some of your favorite celebrities-before they lived.
Unlike any other book Browne has written, Past Lives of the Rich and Famous addresses
the past lives of celebrities we love. Previously Sylvia has written about what transpires
after death, but now she explains what happens before birth. Alternately moving and
very entertaining, this is a highly readable book that's hard to put down.
Following an explanation of how Sylvia communicates with her spirit guide, Francine,
Past Lives of the Rich and Famous explains exactly what (often very surprising) lives
some of our beloved celebrities lived in the past before the lives they're living now.
Readers will come to see their favorite celebrities in a whole new way in light of this
never-before-divulged information.

Dworkin was the only writer given unprecedented access to the cast and crew during
the shoot and editing of Tootsie in 1982 during the sweltering summer in New York City
and editing bay in Los Angeles. A playwright, award-winning documentary writer, and
contributing editor, Dworkin used her unique talent to tell how two superbly talented
and driven men-actor Dustin Hoffman and director Sydney Pollack-actually made a
movie about a serious actor, desperate for work, who takes on the challenge of playing
a woman in a daily soap opera, becomes a star, and a better man for it. Drawn from
observation and interviews not only with Hoffman and Pollack, but with costume
designer Ruth Morley, actors Teri Garr, Bill Murray, and Dabney Coleman, editors Fritz
and Bill Steinkamp, and many others, Dworkin delivers an intim...

"On a day like this, I remember-I'm the President, but he's The Boss." -President Obama,
commenting on Bruce Springsteen, Kennedy Center awards ceremony, 2009
Before Bruce Springsteen became The Boss, he was just a kid musician from New
Jersey, playing at the City's local stomping grounds and hawking tickets to his shows at
$5.50 a pop. Photographer Eric Meola saw The Boss's potential, having witnessed a
glimmer of it at a 1973 show at Max's Kansas City and later in 1975, after spending a
day behind the lens, snapping photos of the young songwriter as they drove up and
down Jersey's legendary Highway 9. Meola "got" Springsteen so well that one of his
shots-the image of Springsteen leaning on Clarence Clemons' shoulder-would become
the cover of the Born to Run album.

Summary
First Time in Paperback
In his first book, the legendary founder of Playboy provides observations for men of all

Five decades ago, Hugh Marston Hefner created Playboy magazine, helping to ignite
America's sexual revolution, and reinventing himself in the process-evolving from a
struggling Chicago cartoonist with epic fantasies into Mr. Playboy, the greatest living
symbol of hedonism. Throughout the years, Hef created a world for himself that most
men have yearned to inhabit, if only briefly, just to know what it's like to be him.
In this sophisticated, retro-style volume, Hef offers a treasury of advice and maxims
that teem with his often wry and heartfelt wisdom, accompanied with never-beforeseen photographs and illustrations from his vast private archive. Here is advice on:
• love and ladies
• sex and work
• family and dreams
• play and parties
• ambition and friendship
• games and competition

"In Sharp, David Fitzpatrick is our tour guide for a harrowing journey from selfdestructive psychosis to a cautious re-emergence into the flickering sunshine of the
sane world. Fitzpatrick writes about mental illness with the unsparing intensity of Sylvia
Plath and Anne Sexton but also with the hard-won self-knowledge of William Styron,
Kay Jamison, and other chroniclers of disease, recovery, and management. While
reading Sharp, I was at turns frightened, appalled, enlightened, and overcome with
sadness. Throughout I was fully engaged and, by book's end, reassured about the
triumph of the human spirit and the healing power of a family's patient and abiding love.
For those of us who seek a better understanding of mental illness, David Fitzpatrick's

The author of the acclaimed Sandman Slim, Kill the Dead, and Aloha from Hell continues
his amazing streak with this high-octane fourth novel
"Kadrey has an ungodly (literally) amount of fun with Stark's wryer-than-wry and
violenter-than-violent observations and dialog. … And don't let the 'supernatural' label
throw you off: Kadrey isn't reboiling the thrice-brewed tea of Stoker or Rami or Crowley
in these books. He goes back to the old grimoires and the Ur legends and plunders them
for monsters, demons and metaphysics that are so ancient they're fresh."-Cory

A beautifully written, thought-provoking manifesto and memoir from the New York

For many people, wine is an anxiety-inducing mystery as arcane as quantum physics.
With so many varieties, it's difficult to know what to choose. That puzzling uncertainty
often prevents people from buying and ordering wine, depriving them of an exquisite,
deeply satisfying experience, argues New York Times wine critic Eric Asimov.

Unti Memoir
Courtney Love
One Day Laydown
Summary
The provocative rock icon-"the most controversial woman in the history of rock" (Rolling
Stone)-offers a brutally honest, behind-the-scenes, no-holds-barred look at the
shocking and chaotic behind-the-scenes story of her life
Alternately criticized and vilified, embraced and idolized, Courtney Love has been a
polarizing fixture from the moment she screamed and stormed her way onto the
alternative music scene over twenty years ago. An extraordinary musician, her gift for
creation is matched only by a knack for inspiring equal parts adoration and rage. Yet
everything we know about her has come from the media or her music; she has never
before, in her own words, shared the whole story of life as she's experienced it.

Nashville 1971. As the year drew to a close, Willie Nelson wasn't exactly feeling the
spirit of the season. A stalled career, music executives hounding him for a formulaic
"Nashville Sound" hit, and, consequently, an unsettled personal life all contributed to his
holiday blues. One day, he wrote, "What Can You Do to Me Now"? The next day, his
house burned down. Willie saw it as a sign that things had to change, and from that
moment on, he vowed he would blaze his own path, with his music and his life- no
matter if any one else understood or approved.
After that life-changing period, Willie began making music his own way. Heading back to
his native Texas, he reinvented himself and resurrected his career,...

The Midwife of Hope River
A Novel
Patricia Harman
Summary
A William Morrow Paperback Original
A debut novel featuring Patience Murphy, an Appalachian midwife in the 1930s
struggling against disease, poverty, and prejudices-and her own haunting past-to bring
new light, and life, into an otherwise cruel world
As a midwife working in the hardscrabble conditions of Appalachia during the Depression,
Patience Murphy's only solace is her gift: the chance to escort mothers through the
challanges of childbirth. Just beginning, she takes on the jobs no one else wants: those
most in need-and least likely to pay. Patience is willing to do what it takes to fulfill her
mentor's wishes, but starting a midwife practice means gaining trust, and Patience's
secrets are too fragile to let anyone in.

Autobiography, An
Agatha Christie
Summary
"A joyful adventure. . . . She brings the sense of wonder . . . to her extraordinary
career."
-New York Times Book Review
Thirty-five years after her death, Agatha Christie remains the world's bestselling popular
author. While millions of fans across the globe got to know her beloved characters
Hercule Poirot and Miss Jane Marple, few knew much about their creator, a woman who
for many years kept her private life hidden from view. For decades, she dodged the
press and gave no interviews, and for a brief time, famously disappeared. In April of
1950 she began writing her memoirs, a volume that would take her fifteen years to
finish. By then, seventy-five years old, she explained, "it seems the right moment to
stop."

Once Upon a Car is the brilliantly reported inside-the-boardrooms-and-factories story of
Detroit's fight for survival, going beyond the headlines to chronicle how the country's
Big Three auto companies-General Motors, Ford, and Chrysler-teetered on the brink of
collapse during the 2008 financial crisis. In a tale that reads like a corporate thriller, Bill
Vlasic, who has covered the auto industry for more than fifteen years, first for the
Detroit News and now for the New York Times, takes readers into the executive offices,
assembly plants, and union halls to introduce a cast of memorable characters, many of
whom are speaking out for the first time, including the executives who struggled to save
their companies but in the end had to seek a controversial, last-gasp rescue from the

professional writer. Maybe she's not quite championing the women's rights issues she
used to write about in college-but Alex churns out several posts a day, beginning with
hard news at 8 am (a meth-addicted former beauty queen, perfect); morning and
evening gossip roundups; and especially juicy posts for blog primetime , when women in
their offices all over both coasts eat their sad desk salads.

In July 1890, Vincent van Gogh, went into a cornfield and shot himself. Or did he? Why
would an artist at the height of his creative powers attempt to take his life . . . and
then walk a mile to a doctor's house for help? Who was the crooked little "color man"
Vincent had claimed was stalking him across France? And why had the painter recently
become deathly afraid of a certain shade of the color blue?
These are just a few of the questions confronting Vincent's friends-baker-turnedpainter Lucien Lessard and bon vivant Henri Toulouse-Lautrec-who vow to discover the
truth behind van Gogh's untimely death.

Craig Heimbuch was in his early thirties when he received a gift from his father-a 12gauge Winchester over-under shotgun. Craig had never even thought of owning a gun,
but the gift got him thinking; the men in his Midwestern family were enthusiastic
hunters, and he, the black sheep so to speak, was possibly the only one never to have
taken an animal. For most of his life, he was quite comfortable with that, but now that
he had a shotgun, Craig figured he may as well try it out and in so doing, both explore
the meaning of manhood and get closer to his Midwestern dad.
So Craig committed to overcoming his domesticated suburban lifestyle by diving

A collection of eight Agatha Christie plays, including The Mousetrap, now available as a

her mastery of the detective thriller.

Palm trees with twinkle lights . . . Santa's big belly protruding over a neon Speedo . . .
Yes, it's ho ho ho time when pine replaces palmetto and winter birds nest in the blamy
paradise of the Sunshine state. Like Santa, Serge Storms knows who's been naughty
and who's been nice. Few can give with the generosity and creativity of Serge, and as
December 24 rolls around, the big-hearted psychopath is filling up the Serge sleigh with
an unforgettable bag of presents.
But before that, there's the office Christmas party, where he'll be spreading his special
cheer. And there's that last minute go-for-broke spree at the mall (just beware of those
attacking elves-they bite.) While you're there, skip the lame photo on Santa's lap-Serge
will give you a lap ride you'll never forget. As for that addled elf Coleman, there's
nothing like a white Christmas. Let it snow!
So grab...

A classic tale of survival and revenge, this rousing novel of men, sailing ships,
shipwrecks, pirates, and the sea, set in the early 1800s, is full of authentic nautical and
historical detail, especially about diving and salvage operations of the period. It follows
the exploits of Jack O'Reilly, a 17-year-old New England boy struggling toward manhood,
whose sea adventures over three years take him to Cuba, around Cape Horn, to the
South Sea islands, the Philippines, around the Cape of Good Hope, and finally back to
Cuba and the Americas. Wake of the Perdido Star is at once a morality tale, an actionpacked saga of heroism, camaraderie, and survival, and a historical treatment of men at
sea two hundred years ago.

Sutton
J.r. Moehringer
Summary
From the New York Times bestselling and Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The
Tender Bar comes the much-anticipated first novel, Sutton, based on the life of
the beloved bank robber Willie Sutton
Willie Sutton was driven by two things-a lost love and a deep hatred of banks. Among
the most notorious criminals in American history and in the same pantheon as Al Capone
and John Dillinger, known to police as the Babe Ruth of Bank Robbers, Sutton spent half
his life, off and on, in prison, until Christmas Eve 1969, when he walked out for good. His
surprise pardon sparked a media frenzy. Every journalist and talk show host in America
wanted an interview. But Sutton granted just one.
Sixty-eight years old, in failing health, he spent all that first night and the next day with
a newspaper reporter and photographer, driving around New York City, visiting the
scenes of his many crimes, betrayals, heartbreaks, and escapes. The result was a
strangely cursory front-page story, filled with half-truth...

Confessions of a Recovering Catholic
Jenny McCarthy
Summary
Jenny McCarthy-actress, comedian, activist, and New York Times bestselling
author-candidly recounts her humorous Catholic upbringing, from her childhood
dream of becoming a nun to her Playmate of the Year centerfold, and all of the
Hail Marys in between.
Bestselling author Jenny McCarthy is back, revealing more about her own life than she
ever has before. Bad Habits tells the story of everything that went wrong during Jenny's
Catholic upbringing, or, as Jenny puts it now, what went right.
As a young girl, Jenny attended one of the most prestigious all-girl Catholic schools in
Chicago. She had every intention of growing up to become a nun, but a few hilarious
speed bumps and blinking red lights along the way took her drastically off course. Jenny
never did accept Sister Mary's reasoning that she could avoid purgatory if she just
bought a string necklace for $10; the fact that two of her aunts are simultaneously
nuns and cops (yes, they carry guns and shoot people while wearing a habit)...

Drawn from Borden's unprecedented access to Mekanism, a company that promises it

Gods of Influence follows Mekanism's four principals through the highs and lows of a

On a warm June day, Maura Corrigan is walking with her nine-year-old son, James, as he
rides his bike to school. The unthinkable happens: he darts onto the street and is hit by
Alex, a 17-year-old neighbor. As if James's death isn't tragic enough for the Corrigan
family, in its wake an intricate web of relationships, secrets, and betrayals begins to
unravel.
Told through the perspective of four family members, Those We Love Most chronicles
how this sudden twist of fate forces each of them to confront their choices, examine
their mistakes, and fight for their most valuable relationships. It asks the age-old
question: Why do we hurt the ones we love most? Then it shows us how we can, in the
most difficult of times, forgive ourselves and others for our transgressions.
At once thoughtful, p...

Arcadia
Lauren Groff
Summary
Now in paperback: the critically acclaimed, mesmerizing second novel from
Lauren Groff, bestselling author of The Monsters of Templeton.
In the fields of western New York State in the 1970s, a few dozen idealists set out to
live off the land, founding what would become a commune centered on the grounds of a
decaying mansion called Arcadia House. Arcadia follows this romantic, rollicking, and
tragic utopian dream from its hopeful start through its heyday and after.
Arcadia's inhabitants include Handy, a musician and the group's charismatic leader;
Astrid, a midwife; Abe, a master carpenter; Hannah, a baker and historian; and Abe and
Hannah's only child, the book's protagonist, Bit, who is born soon after the commune is
created.
While Arcadia rises and falls, Bit, too, ages and changes. If he remains in love with the
peaceful agrarian life in Arcadia and deeply attached to its residents-including Handy
and Astrid's lithe and deeply troubled daughter, Helle-how can Bit become his own ma...

When an unexpected medical crisis sends Naomi Wolf on a deeply personal journey to
tease out the intersections between sex and creativity, she discovers, much to her own
shock, an increasing body of evidence that suggests that the vagina is not merely flesh,
but is an intrinsic component of the female brain and thus female consciousness itself. A
brilliant and nuanced synthesis of physiology, history, and culture, Vagina: A New

The Real Romney
Michael Kranish, Scott Helman
Summary
Two investigative reporters offer a riveting look at the Republican presidential candidate
in this first full, no-holds-barred biography that probes his personal life, his faith, and his
career in business and politics
"The Real Romney by Michael Kranish and Scott Helman of the The Boston Globe lays
out Romney's story in full and clear detail, including fascinating in-depth stuff about his
family's history, a tale that, going back in time, involves the bloody foundations of
Mormonism, as well as plural marriage and a flight to Mexico to avoid prosecution for
bigamy." -The Los Angeles Times
Mitt Romney has masterfully positioned himself as the front-runner for the 2012
Republican presidential nomination. Even though he's become a household name, the
former Massachusetts governor remains an enigma to many in America, his character
and core convictions elusive, his record little known. Who is the man behind that sweep
of dark hair, distinguished white sideburns, and high-wattage smile...

How to Be Black
Baratunde Thurston
Summary
"Terrific...an assault on nostalgia-a satirical, biographic attack on the idea that
'blackness' or any label should be derived from historical description."
-Fast Company
Raised by a pro-black, Pan-Afrikan single mother during the crack years of 1980s
Washington, DC, and educated at Sidwell Friends School and Harvard University,
Baratunde Thurston has over thirty years' experience being black. Now, through stories
of his politically inspired Nigerian name, the heroics of his hippie mother, the murder of
his drug-abusing father, and other revelatory black details, he shares with readers of all
colors his wisdom and expertise in how to be black.
Beyond memoir, this guidebook offers practical advice on everything from "How to Be
The Black Friend" to "How to Be The (Next) Black President" to "How to Celebrate Black
History Month."
To provide additional perspective, Baratunde assembled an award-winning Black Panelthree black women, three black men, and one white man (Christian Lander of...

Summary
From a legend of rock-'n'-roll comes a memoir that traces at once the author's own
struggles with drugs, sex, and the ghosts of his tumultuous upbringing; and an

and fortune: The Who.

This is the memoir that Pete Townshend-guitarist, songwriter, singer, and founding
member of the The Who-has been writing for over a decade. Ruthlessly considered, and
written with all his heart, this autobiography spans the life of one of history's most
talented musicians.
Raised by an eccentric grandmother in West London, while his parents lived the early
rock-'n-roll, post-war lifestyle, Townshend describes a frenetic childhood of
displacement and abuse (at the hands of his mentally-disabled grandmother Denny) . . .
until meeting Roger Daltrey in high school. Together, they form the first incarnation of a
band that will travel the world and bring the two of them into the inner sanctums of Eric

In celebration of the 40th Anniversary, sports writer and acclaimed author Mike Freeman
explores the Miami Dolphins' legendary 1972 season-the only perfect season in NFL
history-and the journey to the championship, filled with heartbreaking injuries,
miraculous finishes, and tested relationships, culminating in a 40-year legacy.
In 1972, the Miami Dolphins became the first and only team in NFL history to play an
entire season undefeated and untied, winning 14 regular season games, two playoff
games and Super Bowl VII.
No one expected what the young team would go on to accomplish in 1972. Led by
coach Don Shula and key players Bob Griese, Earl Morrall, and Larry Csonka, the '72
Dolphins team was inexperienced as a whole. Not to mention the previous season, when
they were the first team in Super Bowl history not to score a...

HarperLuxe is the new format in larger print, set in 14-point type
On the fiftieth anniversary of Pope John XXIII's opening of the Vatican Council II in
October 1962 and of his death in June 1963, as well as for his likely canonization in
2013, Greg Tobin celebrates the "Good Pope" as a profile of a greatly beloved religious
figure who ushered in an era of hope and openness; and it is this "openness" that
powerful internal forces have been battling ever since, causing many of the Catholic
crises we see today.
The Second Vatican Council is one of the most historic church councils and its legacy
still reverberates through the Catholic Church today. In The Good Pope and His Great
Council, Greg Tobin follows the Good Pope, Saint John XXIII's, footprints throughout the
twentieth century, from his upbringing and church career to his surprise election as
pope and the event that stunned the entire w...

From the acclaimed author of Black Water Rising, a heart-pounding thriller that

years earlier.
Attica Locke's debut novel, Black Water Rising, was hailed by critics nationwide and
received multiple prize nominations. Now, the author compared to Scott Turow and
Walter Mosely is back with an absorbing and atmospheric tale of murder and injustice
that explores the enduring legacy of slavery.
For many native Louisianans, Belle Vie, the large antebellum plantation situated between
Baton Rouge and New Orleans, is a symbol of beauty and the South's genteel past. For
others, it is a monumental reminder of the evils of slavery. The estate becomes the
center of...

From New York Times bestselling author Dennis Lehane, an epic, unflinching tale of
Prohibition and one man's rise from petty thief on the streets of Boston to the greatest
rum runner on the Gulf Coast. Meticulously researched and artfully told, Lehane solidifies
his reputation "among the most interesting and accomplished American novelists of any

By 1926, Prohibition has given rise to an endless network of underground distilleries,
speakeasies, gangsters, and corrupt cops. Joe Coughlin, the youngest son of a
prominent Boston Police captain, defies his proper upbringing and his father's strict lawand-order orthodoxy. Graduating from a childhood of petty theft to a career in the pay

The captivating, delightful, and surprising story of Merriam Webster's Third Edition

Everything.
Few decades have caused more controversy than the 1960s, a time of explosive change
in which tradition and authority gave way to freedom-a sweeping transformation
crystalized in the 1961 publication of Webster's Third New International Dictionary.
Created by the most respected American publisher of dictionaries and supervised by

From a legend of Rock & Roll comes a memoir that traces at once the author's own

Nashville 1971. As the year drew to a close, Willie Nelson wasn't exactly feeling the

The Demi-Monde: Winter
Rod Rees
Summary
"Elegantly constructed, skillfully written, and absolutely impossible to stop reading."
-Booklist (starred review)
Welcome to the Demi-Monde, a simulated world of cruelty, violence, and chaos run by
psychopaths, madmen, and fanatics. And if you die in the Demi-Monde, you die in the
Real World . . .
The most sophisticated, complex, and unpredictable computer simulation ever created,
the Demi-Monde was devised to train soldiers for the nightmarish reality of urban
warfare. A virtual world of eternal civil war, its thirty million "inhabitants" are ruled by
"Dupes," cyber-duplicates of some of history's cruelest tyrants:, the fanatical Nazi
butcher Reinhard Heydrich; Stalin's arch executioner Lavrentiy Beria; the torturer-loving
Grand Inquisitor Tomás de Torquemada; and Reign of Terror blood-thirsty mastermind
Maximilien Robespierre.
But something has gone horribly wrong inside the Demi-Monde, and the U.S. President's
daughter Norma, a psychology student on a research assignment, is tra...

McKee has learned that the girl lives-but that her life and soul are in mortal peril from a
vampiric ghost-and the bloodthirsty wraith is none other than John Polidori, the onetime
physician to the mad, bad, and dangerous Romantic poet Lord Byron. Both McKee and
Crawford have mysterious histories with creatures like Polidori, and their child is a prize
the malevolent spirit covets dearly.
Polidori is also the late uncle and supernatural muse to the poet Christina Rossetti and
her brother, the painter Dante Gabriel Rossetti. As a child, Christina unwittingly brought
Polidori's cu...
