    BLOOMSBURY Spring 2021 May – August BLOOMSBURY PUBLISHING APRIL 2021 The Age of Acrimony How Americans Fought to Fix Their Democracy, 1865-1915 Jon Grinspan A raucous history of American democracy at its wildest—and a bold rethinking of the relationship between the people and their politics. Democracy was broken. Or that was what many Americans believed in the decades after the Civil War. Shaken by economic and technological disruption, they sought safety in aggressive, tribal partisanship. The results were the loudest, closest, most violent elections in U.S. history, driven by vibrant campaigns that drew our highest-ever voter turnouts. At the century’s end, reformers finally restrained this wild system, trading away participation for civility in the process. HISTORY / UNITED STATES / The result was a calmer, cleaner democracy, but also a more distant one. 19TH CENTURY Americans’ voting rates crashed and never recovered. Bloomsbury Publishing | 4/27/2021 9781635574623 | $30.00 / $39.99 Can. This is the origin story of the “normal” politics of the 20th century. Only by Hardcover with dust jacket | 384 pages exploring where that civility and restraint came from can we understand what is 9.3 in H | 6.1 in W happening to our democracy today. 16-page color insert The Age of Acrimony charts the rise and fall of 19th-century America’s unruly politics through the lives of a remarkable father-daughter dynasty. The radical congressman William “Pig Iron” Kelley and his fiery, Progressive daughter MARKETING Florence Kelley led lives packed with drama, intimately tied to their nation’s Print and online review and features politics.

    NetGalley Acquires Bookish.com FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE October 12, 2016—NetGalley, an industry-standard service to promote forthcoming titles to readers of influence, has acquired Bookish.com, an editorial site designed to connect readers with books and authors. Bookish.com is an online resource serving readers of all genres through author interviews, book recommendations, and literary roundups. Founded by Hachette Book Group, Penguin Group (USA) and Simon & Schuster, Bookish.com was launched in February 2013 and was acquired by Zola Books in January 2014 along with Bookish Recommends, a book recommendation engine. As a sister company to NetGalley, Bookish will remain an editorially independent, standalone site with its continued commitment to connecting visitors with interesting and relevant content. Zola Books will retain Bookish’s book recommendation technology, which they have rebranded Zola Recommends. “I'm proud of how the Zola Books team built Bookish.com into the vibrant and exciting experience it is today. As Zola intensifies its focus on creating superlative book technology services, we are delighted that Bookish.com will have an opportunity to fulfill its mission under NetGalley’s stewardship,” Zola Books CEO Joe Regal says of the sale. Following the acquisition, NetGalley and Bookish.com will continue to grow their respective communities, while exploring natural ways to connect the editorial content between the two websites to best serve readers, publishers, and authors. "We are very excited to bring Bookish's consumer-facing, curated, editorial voice to the NetGalley family," says Fran Toolan, CEO of NetGalley and Firebrand Technologies. "We view Bookish.com as yet another way that our client publishers can help their books succeed." Terms of the agreement were not disclosed.
