WWNcat_F18_3pp.indd 3 2/8/18 9:16 AM Accessory to War The Unspoken Alliance Between Astrophysics and the Military

Neil deGrasse Tyson and Avis Lang

n this fascinating foray into the millennia-long​ relation- Iship between science and military power, acclaimed astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson and writer Avis Lang examine how the methods and tools of astrophysics have been enlisted in the service of war. “The overlap is strong, and it’s a two-​way street,” say the authors, because the astrophysicists and military planners care about many of the same things: multi-spectr​ al detection, ranging, tracking, imaging, high ground, nuclear fusion, and access to space. Tyson and Lang call it a “curiously complicit” alliance. Spanning early celestial navigation to satellite-en​ abled war- fare, Accessory to War is a richly researched and provoca- tive examination of the intersection of science, technology, industry, and power that will introduce Tyson’s millions of fans to yet another dimension of how the universe has shaped our lives and our world.

Neil deGrasse Tyson, an astrophysicist with the American Museum of Natural History, is an award-​ winning author and TV host. Avis Lang edited Tyson’s “Universe” column for Natural History and his anthology Space Chronicles. They both live in New York City. Photo Courtesy of Fox Broadcasting Company

WWNcat_F18_3pp.indd 9 2/8/18 9:16 AM These Truths A History of the United States

Jill Lepore

he American experiment rests on three ideas—“these Ttruths,” Jefferson called them—political equality, natu­ ral rights, and the sovereignty of the people. And it rests, too, “on a dedication to inquiry, fearless and unflinching,” writes Jill Lepore in a groundbreaking investigation into the American past that places truth itself at the center of the nation’s history. In riveting prose, These Truths tells the story of America, beginning in 1492, to ask whether the course of events has proven the nation’s founding truths, or belied them. “A nation born in contradiction, liberty in a land of slavery, sovereignty in a land of conquest, will fight, forever, over the meaning of its history,” Lepore writes, finding meaning in those very contradictions as she weaves American history into a majestic tapestry of faith and hope, of peril and prosperity, of technological progress and moral anguish. Part spellbinding chronicle, part old-fashioned civics book, These Truths, filled with arresting sketches of Americans from John Winthrop and Frederick Douglass to Pauli Murray and Phyllis Schlafly, offers an authoritative new history of a great, and greatly troubled, nation.

Jill Lepore is the David Woods Kemper ’41 Professor of American History at Harvard University and a staff writer at The New Yorker. Her many books include The Secret History of Wonder Woman, a national bestseller, and Book of Ages, a finalist for the National Book Award. Dari Pillsbury

Andre Dubus III

or as long as she can remember, Susan Dunn has been Ftrying to escape. But peace and happiness have always eluded her—now an adjunct professor, she is tortured by the novel she cannot finish, and a lack of feeling toward a husband who loves her. Just when she’s ready to abandon everything to try again, she receives a letter that forces her to reckon with the trauma that first sent her running: her mother’s murder at the hands of her father, Daniel Ahearn, forty years ago. Daniel, out of prison and living a spartan life, has written Susan with his dying wish: to see her for the first time since a policeman tore her from his arms. But does she want to see him, and confront the reason he’s been gone so long? What could Daniel possibly offer the daughter he robbed of a family? As the story moves toward a possible reunion, it pulses with emotion, probing the limits of our capacity to forgive. Like Dubus’s award-winning Townie and House of Sand and Fog, Gone So Long is a profound exploration of the struggle between our best intentions and most mer- curial desires.

Andre Dubus III is the author of six acclaimed books, including House of Sand and Fog, a #1 New York Times bestseller and finalist for the National Book Award, and Townie, a memoir. He lives with his family in Newburyport, Massachusetts. Kevin Harkins

WWNcat_F18_3pp.indd 39 2/8/18 9:19 AM The Hebrew Bible A Translation with Commentary

Robert Alter

masterpiece of deep learning and fine sensibility, A Robert Alter’s translation of the Hebrew Bible, now complete, reanimates one of the formative works of our culture. Capturing its brilliantly compact poetry and finely wrought, purposeful prose, Alter renews the Old Testa- ment as a source of literary power and spiritual inspira- tion. From the family frictions of Genesis and King David’s flawed humanity to the serene wisdom of Psalms and Job’s incendiary questioning of God’s ways, these magnificent works of world literature resonate with a startling immedi- acy. Featuring Alter’s generous commentary, which quietly alerts readers to the literary and historical dimensions of the text, this is the definitive edition of the Hebrew Bible. “Thrilling and constantly illuminating. After the still, small voices of so many tepid modern translations, here is a whirlwind.”—​Michael Dirda, Washington Post “The poets will rejoice. Alter’s language ascends to a rare purity.”—​Cynthia Ozick, New Republic

Robert Alter, one of our most distinguished literary scholars, has won the PEN Center USA Award for Translation and the Los Angeles Times’s Robert Kirsch Award for lifetime achievement. He lives in Berkeley, California.

o LARRY McMURTRY b e m o S The personal and professional struggles of McMurtry’s lively protagonist Jill Peel, a director in 1970s Hollywood, takes on new resonance in the twenty-first century.

orty years ago, Larry McMurtry journeyed from the sprawling ranches of his early work to the provocative Sunset Strip, creating a Hollywood fable that is both immediate and relevant in today’s dynamic cultural Fclimate. One would never guess that Jill Peel is still on the verge of stardom. Jill won an Oscar shortly after her fresh-faced arrival in 1950s Hollywood, then for the next twenty years batted away every Tinseltown producer who tried to hire her and get her into bed. Now middle-aged, she’s determined to create more movie magic by directing a cast of raunchy eccentrics, including Joe Percy, an aging womanizing screenwriter, and ex– football player Owen Oarson, eager to sleep his way to leading-man stardom. Teeming with biting humor and intriguing characters that mirror the scandals of modern-day Hollywood, Somebody’s Darling is a timeless story about a fiercely capable woman who dares to challenge the realities of a deceptively seductive Babel.

PAPERBACK LARRY McMURTRY

Moving On anticipates McMurtry’s Terms of Endearment and explores the emotional journey of a young woman against a sprawling metropolis in 1970s Texas.

arry McMurtry’s Moving On, his epic first novel in the acclaimed Houston series, has long been consid- ered a defining tale of “monumental honesty” worthy of great attention New( York Times). Preceding LTerms of Endearment by five years, it is essential reading for anyone who appreciates the inherent genius of McMurtry’s late twentieth-century fiction. Moving On centers on the life of Patsy Carpenter, one of his most beloved characters. After calmly finishing a Hershey bar alone in her car, a restless Patsy drives away from her lifeless marriage in search of a greater purpose. In “precise and lyrical prose” (Boston Globe), McMurtry reveals the complex, colorful lives of Pete, the rodeo clown; high-spirited cowboy Sonny Shanks; and impassioned grad student Hank. A critical work of American literature that “presents human drama with sympathy and compassion” (Los Angeles Times), Moving On unfolds a tale of perseverance and emotional survival in the modern-day West.
