The Power of Meaning draws on philosophy, literature, and the latest research in social psychology, as well as Emily Esfahani Smith’s prodigious reporting, to introduce us to the “meaning mind-set.” With a warm, assured voice that moves effortlessly from Aristotle to Louis C.K., Smith lays out the four pillars of meaning: belonging, purpose, storytelling, and transcendence. As she plumbs the meaning of meaning, she visits a tight-knit fishing village to investigate belonging, stargazes in West Texas, experiences the power of storytelling at a Moth event, and talks to dozens of seekers of meaning—from a former astronaut to a group of medieval enthusiasts. Finally, she shows us how we can lean on the pillars in difficult times, and how we might begin to build a culture of meaning in our schools, workplaces, and communities. Stirring, inspiring, and story-driven, The Power of Meaning will strike a profound chord in anyone seeking more in life. AUTHOR BIO EMILY ESFAHANI SMITH writes about culture, relationships, and psychology for the Atlantic, New Criterion, the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, Newsweek, the Daily Beast, and other publications. She holds an MA from the University of Pennsylvania in applied positive psychology. A native of Zurich, she grew up in Montreal and lives in Michigan.

When a teenage boy dies suspiciously on Halloween night, Salem’s chief of police, John Rafferty, now married to gifted lace reader Towner Whitney, wonders if there is a connection between his death and Salem’s most notorious cold case, a triple homicide dubbed “The Goddess Murders,” in which three young women, all descended from accused Salem witches, were slashed on Halloween night in 1989. He finds unexpected help in Callie Cahill, the daughter of one of the victims newly returned to town. Neither believes that the main suspect, Rose Whelan, respected local historian, is guilty of murder or witchcraft. But exonerating Rose might mean crossing paths with a dangerous force. Were the women victims of an all-too-human vengeance, or was the devil raised in Salem that night? And if they cannot discover what truly happened, will evil rise again?

PRAISE FOR BEN MACINT YRE “Puts other spy tales to shame.” —People “It should be said loud and clear that Macintyre is a supremely gifted storyteller. He spins quite a yarn. His books are absurdly entertaining. I would kill for his keen wit. He takes us into a world of bounders, spivs, roués, and men (and women) on the make…. Double Cross is a blast.” —Boston Globe “Macintyre at once exalts and subverts the myths of spycraft, and has a keen eye for absurdity.” —The New Yorker “[A] complex, absorbing final installment in his trilogy about World War II espionage….Macintyre is a master storyteller. Employing a wry wit and a keen eye for detail, he delivers an ultimately winning tale fraught with European intrigue and subtle wartime heroics.” —San Francisco Chronicle BEN MACINTYRE’s latest reveals the incredible story of the last secret organization of World War II—Britain’s Special Air Service, or, the SAS. Facing long odds against the Axis forces along the African coast, Britain turned to the brainchild of one of its most unlikely heroes: David Stirling, a man whose aimlessness belied a remarkable strategic mind. With the help of his colleague Jock Lewes, Stirling assembled a crack team of daring, dangerous men who would parachute in behind enemy lines to sabotage the Nazi war machine. In its blunt dismissal of the old rules of battle, the SAS would change not only the course of the war, but the very nature of military combat. Writing with unprecedented SAS archival access, Macintyre offers a remarkable psychological portrait of elite soldiers of whom everything was asked. AUTHOR BIO BEN MACINTYRE is a writer at large for the Times of London and the bestselling author of A Spy Among Friends, Double Cross, Operation Mincemeat, and Agent Zigzag, among other books. Macintyre has also written and presented BBC documentaries of his work.

Crown 9780553418811 On-Sale Date: 9/6/2016 HC $26.00 Political Science - Public Policy - General We live in the age of the algorithm. The decisions that affect our lives where we go to school, whether we get a car loan are increasingly being made by mathematical models. In theory, this should lead to greater fairness: Everyone is judged according to the same rules, and bias is eliminated. But as Cathy O¹Neil reveals in this shocking book, the opposite is true. The models being used today to sort résumés, grant (or deny) loans, evaluate workers, set parole, and monitor our health are unregulated and uncontestable, even when they¹re wrong. Most troubling, they reinforce discrimination and widen inequality by propping up the lucky and punishing the downtrodden. This important book empowers us to ask the tough questions, uncover the truth, and demand change. AUTHOR BIO CATHY O’NEIL is a data scientist and author of the blog Mathbabe.org. She earned a PhD in mathematics from Harvard and taught at Barnard College before moving to the private sector. She now appears weekly on the Slate Money podcast. 10 The Clancys of Queens A Memoir Tara Clancy Publicist: Dyana Messina | 212-572-2098 [email protected] Publicist: Liz Esman | 212-572-6049 [email protected] SUMMARY A voice-driven memoir from a fifthgeneration New Yorker, third-generation bartender, and gifted storyteller.

From scheming with her force-of-nature grandmother, to brawling on the concrete recess battle yard of MS 172, to lounging on Adirondack chairs beside an immaculate croquet lawn, to holding court beside the characters at her dad’s local bar, Tara leapfrogs across these varied spheres, delivering stories from each world with authenticity, grit, and outrageous humor. With a light touch but a hard hit, The Clancys of Queens blends savvy and wit to take us on an unforgettable strata-hopping adventure, introducing us to the real people who often escape the popular imaginings of this city. AUTHOR BIO TARA CLANCY’s writing has appeared in the New York Times, the Paris Review Daily, the New York Times Magazine, and The Rumpus.

Crown 9781101903858 On-Sale Date: 10/18/2016 HC $28.00 History - Modern - 20th Century In the summer of 1962, one year after the rise of the Berlin Wall, a group of young West Germans came up with a plan. Risking prison, Stasi torture, even death, they would liberate loved ones and strangers from East Berlin by digging tunnels under the Wall. Among the conspirators were a legendary cyclist, a Stanford student, and an engineer who would work on the tunnel under the English Channel. Two U.S. television networks, NBC and CBS, heard about the secret projects and raced to be first to document them from the inside, planning spectacular prime-time specials. The Kennedy White House, meanwhile, wary of anything that might spark a military confrontation with the Soviets, maneuvered to quash both documentaries. The Tunnels is “breaking history,” a propulsive read whose themes still reverberate. AUTHOR BIO GREG MITCHELL is the author of 12 books, including Tricky Dick and the Pink Lady, The Campaign of the Century, and, with Robert Jay Lifton, Hiroshima in America. He has produced several acclaimed documentaries. 12 Disaster Falls A Family Story Stéphane Gerson Publicist: Penny Simon | 865-675-1705 | [email protected] SUMMARY A luminescent account of a father’s grief after the death of his 8-year-old son, and of finding in profound loss a way forward for a family in crisis.

Once a celebrated writer, M had his greatest success with a suspense novel based on a real-life disappearance. It told the story of a history teacher who went missing one winter after having an affair with a student. Upon publication, M’s novel was a runaway bestseller, one that marked his international breakthrough. That was years ago, and now M’s career is fading. But not when it comes to his bizarre, seemingly timid neighbor who keeps a close eye on him and his wife. Why? Told from alternating points of view, Dear Mr. M is an intricate tale of a writer in decline, a teenage couple in love, a missing teacher, and a single book that entwines all of their fates. With ever-increasing tension, his signature sardonic wit and world-renowned sharp eye for human failings, Herman Koch once again spares nothing and no one in his gripping new novel, a barbed performance that suspends readers in the mysterious space between fact and fiction. AUTHOR BIO HERMAN KOCH is the author of eight novels and three collections of short stories. The Dinner, his sixth novel, has been published in 40 countries and is an international bestseller. He currently lives in Amsterdam. Hogarth 9781101903322 On-Sale Date: 9/6/2016 HC $26.00 Fiction - Literary PRAISE FOR THE DINNER “A European Gone Girl…The Dinner, a sly psychological thriller that hinges on a horrific crime and its consequences for two families, has become one of spring’s most anticipated suspense novels.” —Wall Street Journal “Poised to shake up American publishing…Koch tells a story that could very well take away your appetite.” —USA Today.com “Koch’s ability to toy with the reader’s alliances while using one family’s distress to consider greater societal ills gives the novel a vital punch.” —Daily Beast HOGARTH 17 Hag-Seed Margaret Atwood Publicist: Rachel Rokicki | 212-782-8455 | [email protected] SUMMARY William Shakespeare’s The Tempest retold by Margaret Atwood, New York Times bestseller and winner of the Man Booker Prize. “It’s got a thunderstorm in it. And revenge. Definitely revenge.” Felix is at the top of his game as artistic director of the Makeshiweg Theatre Festival. His productions have amazed and confounded. Now he’s staging a Tempest like no other: not only will it boost his reputation, it will heal emotional wounds. Or that was the plan. Instead, after an act of unforeseen treachery, Felix is living in exile in a backwoods hovel, haunted by memories of his beloved lost daughter, Miranda. And also brewing revenge. After 12 years, revenge finally arrives in the shape of a theatre course at a nearby prison. Here, Felix and his inmate actors will put on his Tempest and snare the traitors who destroyed him. It’s magic! But will it remake Felix as his enemies fall? Margaret Atwood’s novel take on Shakespeare’s play of enchantment, revenge, and second chances leads us on an interactive, illusion-ridden journey filled with new surprises and wonders of its own.

P R A I S E F O R T H E V EG E TA R I A N “Surreal...[A] mesmerizing mix of sex and violence... vivid, chiseled...Like a cursed madwoman in classical myth, Yeong-hye seems both eerily prophetic and increasingly unhinged.” —New York Times Before the nightmares began, Yeong-hye and her husband lived an ordinary, controlled life. But the dreams—invasive images of blood and brutality— torture her, driving Yeong-hye to purge her mind and renounce eating meat altogether. It’s a small act of independence, but it interrupts her marriage and sets into motion an increasingly grotesque chain of events at home. As her husband, her brother-in-law, and sister each fight to reassert their control, Yeong-hye obsessively defends the choice that’s become sacred to her. Soon their attempts turn desperate, subjecting first her mind, and then her body, to ever-more intrusive and perverse violations, sending Yeong-hye spiraling into a dangerous, bizarre estrangement, not only from those closest to her, but also from herself. Celebrated by critics around the world, The Vegetarian is a darkly allegorical, Kafka-esque tale of power, obsession, and one woman’s struggle to break free from the violence both without and within her.

The Fix offers an unconventional look at global solutions hiding in plain sight. It identifies 10 pervasive and seemingly impossible challenges—including immigration reform, economic stagnation, corruption, and terrorism—and shows that each has a solution, and not merely a hypothetical one. In his close analysis of government initiatives as diverse as Brazil’s Bolsa Família program, Indonesia’s campaign against extremism, and Bloomberg’s reform of the NYPD, Tepperman isolates the universally applicable measures that can boost equality, incomes, and cohesion in wildly diverse societies. Tepperman has traveled the world to write this book, conducting more than 100 interviews with the people responsible for these unexpected success stories. Meticulously researched and deeply reported, The Fix makes a data-driven case for optimism in a time of crushing pessimism.

Marina Abramovic has been making groundbreaking art for 50 years, and now turns her gaze inward, to reveal her past with utter candor in a narrative guaranteed to shock and delight. After withstanding a difficult childhood, she met Ulay, an artist and the love of her life, with whom she collaborated for 12 years until they ended their partnership dramatically atop the Great Wall of China. Marina has performed punishing art to illustrate the courage we find within; she’s been cut, burned, and had a gun held to her head as the ultimate test between artist and viewer. Her 2010 MoMA retrospective, The Artist Is Present, drew 850,000 visitors to sit across from her, nonverbally connecting, and she’s enraptured a new generation of luminaries who’ve sought her as a collaborator, among them Lady Gaga, Matthew Barney, James Franco, and Jay Z. Told with a charismatic voice, Walk Through Walls will be the one piece of Marina’s art that anyone can take home. AUTHOR BIO Raised in Yugoslavia, MARINA ABRAMOVIC now makes her primary residence in New York City and at the Abramovic Institute in the Hudson Valley.

With 280 million lifetime record sales between his time with Genesis and his earthshaking solo career, Phil Collins has lived a life that few people can imagine. In this unflinchingly honest memoir, Collins reveals the heart and soul of what drives him as a performer and a dynamically creative individual. He takes us from his ill-fated near-big break as a session percussionist on George Harrison’s All Things Must Pass through the rise of Genesis and his emergence as the band’s leader to the height of his fame as a solo artist. While Collins rubbed shoulders with some of the greatest pop stars of the era, his stories are given depth and color by his remarkable capacity for self-reflection. Whether he’s walking us through the making of his greatest music or mining the dark days of his wholly enveloping alcohol and drug addictions, he’s candid, expansive, and always entertaining. This book will capture the eye-popping exterior facets of Collins’s career but, more vitally, will delve deeply into the workings of a complex, tireless man to explore the verve that propelled him from the early days and into a canon of pop iconography few other musicians can claim to share. Told with ebullience and more than a dose of humor, Collins’s refreshingly forthright voice will equally charm and enlighten pop culture audiences and die-hard music fans alike. AUTHOR BIO Born in the United Kingdom, PHIL COLLINS rose to fame as the drummer and frontman of Genesis before establishing his own solo career. He has sold hundreds of millions of records throughout his career.

With songs like “The Weight” and “Up on Cripple Creek,” songwriter/guitarist Robbie Robertson and his partners in the Band introduced a music lexicon, one soaked in the mythology of the Old South, that has influenced countless musicians. In this remarkable memoir, Robertson weaves together his rollicking years with rockabilly musician Ronnie Hawkins; the Band’s formation and trial by fire supporting Bob Dylan on his ’66 world tour, and the cloistered sessions leading to their unique sound. He recounts his catapult to fame and takes us through the astonishing album run that culminated in The Last Waltz farewell concert.

AUTHOR BIO ROBBIE ROBERTSON was the guitarist and principal songwriter in the Band. He has produced many movie soundtracks for Martin Scorsese and others, and continues to record as a solo artist.

And those who’ve never been at a turning point can skip to the parts where she talks about meeting Bradley Cooper.

Picks up where Lean-In left off, showing how to not only get a seat at the table, but rise to the next level. Having been the lone woman at the highest rungs of Wall Street, Krawcheck knows what it takes to succeed as a woman in a man’s world. Rather than lean in further, play the game better, demand a seat at the table—i.e., act more like men—a better plan is to leverage the unique traits that make women stronger leaders, better team players, and more valuable assets to employers: broader perspective, healthier attitude toward risk, greater creativity, long-term focus, empathy, and more. Women who capitalize on these traits won’t need to demand a place at the table. It will be offered to them; not out of political correctness, but out of good business sense. Drawing on experiences from her own career, Krawcheck shows women how to elevate themselves and their companies by bringing their true female selves to work. AUTHOR BIO SALLIE KRAWCHECK is one of the highest ranked women ever to have worked on Wall Street, as former CEO of Smith Barney, CFO of Citigroup, and president of Wealth Management at Bank of America where she oversaw 16,000 financial advisors and $2.3 trillion in client assets.

Woodward Publicist: Megan Perritt | 212-572-2543 | [email protected] SUMMARY The award-winning former editor of Newsweek tells the roller-coaster ride of religion through the cultural, public, and political landscapes of the last 50 years of American history. In this new book, Kenneth L. Woodward, one of the most well-respected journalists in the United States tells a truly American story about how faith shaped, and continues to shape, our culture and politics (and vice versa). Recent polls from Pew and others attest to the changing demographics of believers in the United States. From the myopic optimism of the 50s, to the civil rights battles of the 60s, to the evangelicalism of Billy Graham and Bill Bright, to the years of Carter, Reagan, Bush Sr., Clinton, Bush, and Obama, we get eye-opening answers to the questions: Is religion really an important part of the American experience? Why do people believe and act the way they do when it comes to religion? Impeccably researched and thought-provoking, this book looks to understand a topic that continues to cause devotion and division in equal parts. AUTHOR BIO KENNETH L. WOODWARD edited Newsweek’s Religion section from 1964 until his retirement in 2002. He remained a writer at large at Newsweek until 2009.

For millions of Catholics and believers from all walks of life, Mother Teresa’s canonization is providentially taking place during Pope Francis’s Extraordinary Jubilee of Mercy, which is entirely fitting because she is seen both inside and outside of the Church as an icon of God’s mercy to those in need. In this beautiful book by a thought leader whose influence is felt as deeply today as it was when she was alive, Mother Teresa offers her deep yet accessible wisdom on how we can show compassion in our day-today lives. A Call to Mercy covers such topics as the need for us to visit the sick and imprisoned, to honor the dead and to inform the ignorant, to bear our burdens patiently and forgive willingly, to feed the poor and pray for all. Ultimately, it is about creating heaven on earth through personal service to others. Featuring testimonials by people close to Mother Teresa as well as prayers and suggestions for putting these ideas into practice, A Call to Mercy is not only a lovely keepsake, but also a living testament to the teachings of a saint whose ideas are important, necessary, and relevant in the 21st century. AUTHOR BIO MOTHER TERESA (1910-1997) was born in Skopje (present-day Macedonia) and created the Missionaries of Charity in Calcutta in 1948. Her service to the poorest of the poor became her life’s work. She was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. 178 IMAGE My Battle Against Hitler Defiance in the Shadow of the Third Reich Dietrich Von Hildebrand Publicist: Jessica Brown | 212-572-2229 [email protected] SUMMARY This memoir from the German-Catholic philosopher demonstrates his opposition to anti-Semitism and his strivings for religious freedom.
