FICTION

Arsenault, Emily *JUST SOMEONE I USED TO KNOW “This debut novel has a delightful premise, crisply drawn characters, and a subtle sense of humor….the very definition of a promising debut.” —Booklist on BROKEN TEAGLASS “Arsenault’s quirky, arresting debut….[is] an absorbing, offbeat mystery-meets-coming-of-age novel that’s as sweet as it is suspenseful.” — on BROKEN TEAGLASS From the critically acclaimed author of BROKEN TEA GLASS and IN SEARCH OF THE ROSE NOTES comes a brand new literary mystery for fans of Laura Lippman. Eliza Waters is most famous for her Tammyland, a “honky-tonk Eat, Pray, Love” that is all about Tammy Wynett. When Eliza dies in a drug store shooting, everyone thinks it is a tragically botched mugging. Jen, Eliza’s best friend from college, had no reason to suspect foul play until she becomes Eliza’s literary executor. The manuscript Eliza was working on most recently is about an old child abuse case. The more Jen reads, the more sinister things become. From beyond the grave, Eliza’s writing opens up a different world to Jen. Eliza’s death seems suspicious and Jen soon finds herself in danger as well. William Morrow Trade

Davys, Tim *YOK: A Novel “….We couldn’t help loving this book. The publisher describes it as THE BIG SLEEP meets ANIMAL FARM, and, frankly, we can’t do better than that.” —Starred Booklist review for AMBERVILLE Tim Davys leaves the best for the last in Yok, the fourth and final novel from the Mollisan Town quartet that is sure to live on as an iconic literary adventure. In this final installment a handsome fox attempts to woo his true love; a gecko attempts to break out from under his abusive brothers; a chimpanzee dreams to write a successful song; and a hare contemplates the meaning of life. In Mollisan Town, these four live in Yok, a seedy neighborhood where it seems no stuffed animal has the ability to breakout and live according to their own wants and needs. They are trapped by ignorance, poverty, mediocrity, and their own insecurities. But for Antonio Ortega Fox, Erik Gecko, Mike Chimpanze, and Vincent Hare, there is still a glimmer of , a chance that they can overcome their circumstances and have the freedom to achieve their separate dreams. As with his first three books— AMBERVILLE, LANCEHEIM, and TOURQUAI, Davys vividly brings to life Mollisan Town, the alternate world populated by stuffed animals, and answers the question: Is it possible to be free or does destiny control all?

After threats from the presumed victim’s mother, the city reluctantly agrees to excavate the community garden where Henderson claimed to have buried the body. But it’s not her son they find buried beneath the willow tree. What they find is the skeleton of a ten-year-old boy, neatly dressed and buried ceremoniously with a , a cd, some pot, and booze.

Del Toro, Guillermo Hogan, Chuck THE NIGHT ETERNAL: Book Three of the Strain Trilogy “The most credible and frightening of all the vampire books of the past decade.” —San Francisco Chronicle on THE FALL “Relentlessly paves the way for what promises to be an epic third book.” — on THE FALL The third and final novel in the stunning New York Times bestselling trilogy about a vampire invasion and the band of men and women who must stop them, by one of Hollywood’s most popular and imaginative storytellers, the creator of the Oscar-winning Pan’s Labyrinth. Following the horrific conclusion of events in THE FALL, Nuclear blankets the land, darkening the Earth but for one hour of sunlight each day. And it is no coincidence that these conditions create a near-perfect environment for vampires. They have won, they have control of the planet, and humans have been entirely subjugated, interred in vast camps across the world, where, herded like livestock, they are farmed and harvested for the sustenance and pleasure of the Master Race. A ragtag network of free humans continues the desperate resistance and is made up of everyday people, among them Eph, head of the CDC’s team; Vasiliy, the colorful Russian exterminator; and Gus, the former gangbanger with a special talent for dispatching the undead. It’s their job to disrupt the devastating new world order and battle the Master and his minions at every turn. But to succeed, the humans will have to rely on the intervention of an unexpected race of beings—creatures that give new meaning to the phrase “angels”—in the ultimate battle to reclaim and rehabilitate the planet for all humanity.

Gottlieb, Eli THE FACE THIEF THE FACE THIEF is psychological suspense at its best—the story of two men who are obsessed with one damaged, yet very charismatic woman—and how she cons each of them. As the book opens, a beautiful woman named Margot is in the midst of falling down a seemingly endless staircase. Was she pushed or did she fall? She lies in a hospital bed coming out of a coma and slowly remembering her past, while the novel moves fluidly back and forth between the people whose lives intersected—damagingly—with her own. Lawrence Billings, an instructor in the Chinese art of face , taught her the skills she used to gain unfair advantage in business transactions and with whom she attempted, compulsively, to have an affair. John Potash is a newly married 40-something who Margot defrauded out of most of his—and his elderly mother’s—life’s savings. As this brilliant, damaged woman dazzles and defrauds each of these men in a different way, the book builds to a shattering climax. Written with the literary flair and power of Ian McEwan and rich in portraits of marriages under siege, THE FACE THIEF is a novel that probes the sources of human greed and of loyalty beset by temptation. Eli Gottlieb is the author of two previous novels. His first novel, The Boy Who Went Away, received extraordinary notices and was a New York Times Notable Book. It also won the prestigious Rome Prize and the 1998 McKitterick Prize by the British Society of Aughtos. His second novel, Now You See Him, was published in 2008 to great acclaim (“a hypnotic read” —The LA Times; “a gorgeous, surprising novel” —USA Today). It hit the Denver Post list and was #1 on the Mountain bestseller list. It was also a #1 Book Sense pick. William Morrrow

Greenfeld, Karl Taro *TRIBURBIA This novel-in-stories is both haunting and heartbreaking, darkly funny and surprisingly poignant. Much like Jennifer Egan’s A VISIT FROM THE GOON SQUAD and Tom Rachman’s THE IMPREFECTIONISTS, the chapters in Greenfeld’s book are arranged as puzzle pieces—snippets of individual lives that fit perfectly together, working to create an image that’s striking in its clarity, and comprehensive in its collective weight. The book is set in TriBeCa— a neighborhood whose name has become synonymous with downtown New York wealth, soaring lofts, massive yachts, and precious restaurants. At the core of TRIBURBIA is a group of fathers thrown together by circumstance; each morning, they meet one another for breakfast after dropping their children off at the same exorbitantly priced private school. They are musicians, producers, photographers, and gangsters, confronting the terrible truths about ambition, wealth, and sex. Over the course of a year, the book uncovers the sacrifices and betrayals that haunt each man. In a world where consequences are so easily glossed over, Greenfeld shows how the repercussions of our choices not only rattle our own lives, but also have the power to devastate the lives of the people we love. The stories are narrated by both men and women, giving the reader an equal experience of both men’s and women’s points-of-view, and together coalesce into a single narrative that’s as compelling and as captivating as any novel. Greenfeld is the author of four previous books, all nonfiction, including the much-acclaimed memoir BOY ALONE (Harper 2009), which Peter Matthiessen called “A candid, brave, painful and well written memoir.” His other three books include THE CHINA SYNDROME (Harper 2007), about which Amy Tan said, “If you take this book to bed, don’t expect any sleep”; STANDARD DEVIATIONS ( 2002), which William Gibson called “Lucid. Merciless. Unforgettable” and SPEED TRIBES (Harper 1995), about Japan’s troubled youth. Karl’s fiction has appeared in such renowned publications as The Review, Best American Short Stories, American Short Fiction, The Missouri Review, One Story, Commentary, The Southern Review, and The Sun. His writing has also been anthologized in Best American Sports Writing, Best American Nonrequired Reading, Best American Travel Writing, and Best Creative Nonfiction, and has been translated into nine languages. Born in Kobe, Japan, Karl has lived in Paris, Hong Kong, New York, and Tokyo. Karl was recently awarded a PEN/O Henry Prize for a short story of his published last year in the Santa Monica Review.

The novel opens in 1945 as Nat King Cole is about to perform a rare concert in his hometown of Montgomery, Alabama. The singer meets up with his childhood friend Nat Weary and his girlfriend Mattie. Cole and Weary are secretly planning Weary’s proposal to Mattie that night, but as Cole steps up to the microphone, a white man disguised as an usher rushes the stage with a lead pipe and attacks the singer. Nat Weary leaps from the “colored” balcony seats and defends the singer, violently beating back the attacker. Weary is,arrested, and sentenced to ten years in jail without parole. Six months before his release from prison in 1955, Weary’s brother visits the prisoner with a message from Cole. Will Weary agree to be Nat King Cole’s driver in Los Angeles, to act as a bodyguard for the singer in his new home? DRIVING THE KING is the story of Nat Weary, a World War II veteran and taxi driver from Montgomery, who saved the life of a childhood friend and is repaid with the chance to start a new life in Los Angeles.

Kargman, Jill *SEAT 7A Jill Kargman, New York Times bestselling author of THE EX-MRS. HEDGEFUND and MOMZILLAS, returns with this lively novel about a down-to-earth New York City girl who suddenly finds herself in a rock ‘n’ roll Cinderella fantasy. It’s Hazel’s 30th birthday and she has everything she’s ever wanted: a kickass job at a video-game company, a dream New York City apartment, and the perfect boyfriend—who also happens to be a personal chef, and has just proposed in the most romantic way. With good food, video games and love, Hazel thinks she’s happy—but not ready to get married. The morning after her birthday, Hazel leaves for a business trip and receives a surprise upgrade to first class, boards the plane, and sees the person in seat 7B: it’s her celebrity crush, rock star Finn Schiller. Just the night before, she had confessed her infatuation with Finn at her birthday party, and her boyfriend joked that she had a free pass if she ever met him. Hazel can’t believe fate has actually thrown them together. Even more unbelievable is the flight that follows, as they genuinely connect—even after he sees her vomit due to plane turbulence. Finn likes her uncensored cursing, wicked sense of humor, and that she’s not like all his 12 groupies; Hazel likes his killer looks, ripped physique and soulful music. What started as a fantasy quickly becomes a real attraction, and after a dream date and taste of the rock-star life with Finn in Los Angeles, Hazel is forced to examine the track her life is on. Could she ever forgive herself if she walked away from her wildest dreams coming true? Seasoned with her signature wit and hilarious dialogue, Jill Kargman presents a fairytale romance with a twist.

Kellerman, Faye GUN GAMES From New York Times bestselling author Faye Kellerman comes the next exciting installment in her series starring Peter Decker and Rina and featuring psychopath Chris Donatti and his son Gabe. LAPD Lieutenant Detective Decker and his wife, Rina, have agreed to take in fifteen year-old Whitman after his parents unceremoniously dump the boy into their care. Gabe is a brilliant piano prodigy—an enigmatic teen who is both gifted and secretive—who seems to have adapted well to his new environment. But Decker knows only too well what secret lives teenagers live. This point is brought home when Decker learns of another tragedy, the suicide of fifteen year-old Gregory Hesse, whose mother is convinced that her son’s death was no impulsive act. Decker decides to look into Gregory’s file and discovers that the gun used in the tragedy was stolen. He launches an inquiry which takes on a more nefarious tone when another suicide—this time a sixteen-year-old girl—occurs just weeks later. Both teens were enrolled at the same elite prep school. As the detectives probe, they uncover a particular group of nasty high-school students with a predilection for guns and violence. The situation becomes especially frightening when Decker realizes he knows almost nothing about the boy living under his roof. Having been home schooled, Gabe is basically on his own, keeping odd hours, coming and going as he pleases. This is especially unnerving since Gabe’s father, Christopher Donatti, is a former hit man who is now living the good life as the proprietor of several bordellos in Nevada. The case and all its terrifying ramifications take Decker and his detectives down a dark alley of twisted allegiances and unholy alliances, culminating into a heart-stopping point of no-return.

Klise, Kate *IN THE BAG Parent Trap meets You’ve Got Mail in this 21st century romantic tale. Told from the perspectives of two single parents and their two teenage children, IN THE BAG explores the old-fashioned art of flirtation in a modern world, where falling in love can be as risky as checking a bag on an international flight. A successful chef and single mother, Daisy Sprinkle is on vacation with her teenage daughter, Coco, who picks up the wrong duffle bag at the airport. That situation is not improved by the note Daisy finds tucked into her own carry-on, apparently from the man in 13-C. Daisy is in no mood for secret admirer notes or dinner dates. Or even men, for that matter. Andrew doesn’t know what possessed him to do something like that. Hitting on strange women on airplanes is definitely not his typical style. But there was something about the woman in 6-B that could not be ignored. Of course, now he has no time to think about her, since his son Webb seems to have made off with a budding fashionista’s luggage. Determined to make the best of a bad situation, Daisy cooks up a plan to calm her daughter’s panic over the lost 13 bag with a week of fabulous food, shopping, and museum hopping. Andrew is busy working on his latest project and hoping Webb finds enough to entertain himself. Little do they know the teens are making their own plan. . . one that will ultimately reunite Ms. 6-B and Mr. 13-C. Kate Klise is the author of such bestselling children’s books as Regarding the Fountain, Dying to Meet You, and Grounded. IN THE BAG is her first novel for adults. William Morrow Trade Paperback

Mandelstam, Osip Wiman, Christian (Translator) STOLEN AIR: The Selected Poems of Osip Mandelstam A central figure not only in modern Russian but in world poetry, Osip Mandelstam was a crucial instigator of the “revolution of the word” that took place in early 20th century St. Petersburg, only to be crushed by the Bolshevik revolution. His body of work, his later poems in particular, written on the run in the interval between his exile to the provinces by Stalin and his death in the Archipelago, provide an extraordinary testament to the enduring power of art in the presence of state terror. Born in 1891 in Warsaw, and raised in the imperial capital of St. Petersburg, he published his first , KAMEN, in 1913. Mandelstam spent his later years in exile, serving sentences for counter-revolutionary activities in various work camps, until his death on December 27, 1938. Christian Wiman is an American poet and editor who has taught at Northwestern University, Stanford University, Lynchburg College, and the Prague School of Economics. Since 2003, he has been editor of the oldest and most prestigious American magazine of verse, Poetry. His first book of poetry, THE LONG HOME, won the prestigious Nicholas Roerich Prize. His most recent book, EVERY RIVEN THING, was chosen by poet and critic Dan Chiasson as one of the best poetry books of 2010. Ecco

Oates, Joyce Carol From the inimitable comes a riveting new psychological thriller. Like Daphne DuMaurier’s classic REBECCA or ’s THE TURN OF THE SCREW, MUDWOMAN is a chilling page turner that hinges on the power of the imagination and the blurry lines between the real and the invented. It features two fascinating characters: M.R. Neukirchen-lauded academic, university president—leads a life of quiet power and is the public face of an Ivy-league institution. Fiercely intelligent, she still husbands the values of her Quaker upbringing in upstate New York: compassion, modesty, and hard work. Yet the constraints of her career have kept her far from the failing town in which she grew up, and from the adoptive parents who raised her. Mudgirl is a child abandoned to die in the silty flats of the Great Snake River. Left to drown by her own mother—criminally unhinged and religiously-obsessed—she survives through an accident of fate, but after her rescue, she slowly forgets her own origins, her past is erased, and her future is uncertain. An unexpected trip upstate will bring M.R. into unforgettable contact with Mudgirl, and the lives both have left behind. A chilling exploration of the enduring claims of the past, MUDWOMAN is at once a ghost-story and an uncanny portrait of a nervous breakdown, the real and the imagined, and the repressed and the desired. Joyce Carol Oates is a recipient of the National Medal of Humanities, the National Book Critics Circle Ivan Sandrof Lifetime Achievement Award, the National Book Award and the PEN/Malamud Award for Excellence in Short Fiction, and has been nominated for the Pulitzer Prize.

Preston, Caroline THE SCRAPBOOK OF FRANKIE PRATT: A Novel in Pictures “. . . a ripping yarn of emancipated girlish adventure.” —Audrey Niffenberger “. . . a literary bottle rocket—loaded with whimsy, pizzazz and heart.” — "Is it possible that I have just read/experienced/devoured the most delightful book ever published?” —Elinor Lipman From the author of the New York Times Notable Book, JACKIE BY JOSIE, comes a spirited and visually stunning graphic novel, inspired by the art of scrapbooking and told through a kaleidoscopic array of vintage postcards, letters, magazine ads, ticket stubs, catalog pages, fabric swatches, candy wrappers, fashion spreads, menus and more, starring an unforgettable heroine and set in the burgeoning bohemian culture of the 1920s. At 17, Frankie Pratt, the daughter of a working-class widow in New England, dreamed of going to Vassar and becoming a writer. But without money for tuition, she had all but resigned herself to following in her mother’s footsteps and becoming nurse. When a mysterious James sweeps her off her feet, her mother manages to send Frankie away to Vassar to protect her from the less-than-noble intentions of her unsuitable beau. There, in the completely foreign culture of high society and academia, Frankie makes friends with the daughters of America’s wealthiest and best- known families and crosses paths with intellectuals and writers, among them, “Vincent,” (Vassar alumni Edna St. Vincent Millay), who encourages Frankie to move to Greenwich Village and pursue her writing, then to travel aboard the Mauritania to Paris, where she takes a garret apartment above Shakespeare & Company, the hub of expat life, only to have a certain mysterious captain from her past reappear. Pulling from her own extraordinary collection of vintage ephemera, Caroline Preston’s unique novel is perhaps the first of its kind, as well as the first in a series for Ecco, the second of which will follow a 1950s bride during the first year of her marriage. Caroline Preston is the author of three previous novels, JACKIE BY JOSIE, LUCY CROCKER 2.0, and GATSBY’S GIRL.

Silva, Daniel : A Novel The #1 New York Times bestselling author comes to Harper with his most spellbinding novel yet featuring his enigmatic hero, Gabriel Allon, master art restorer, former agent, and assassin. Universal Studios has acquired screen rights to the series of bestselling books featuring Gabriel Allon. Silva has established himself as a “world-class practitioner of spy fiction” (Washington Post), and Gabriel Allon has been described as the most compelling creation since “Ian Fleming put down his martini and invented James Bond” (The Rocky Mountain News). Gabriel appreciates all that is beautiful, but he is also an angel of vengeance who will stop at nothing to see justice done. For Gabriel and his beautiful Venetian-born wife, Chiara, it was supposed to be the start of a pleasant weekend in London—a visit to an art gallery to authenticate a newly discovered painting by Titian, followed by a quiet lunch along the Strand. But a pair of deadly bombs in Paris and Hamburg changes everything. In London, Gabriel notices a man whom he believes is about to carry out a third attack. When he follows the man into the crowded Covent Garden market, he is knocked down by two London undercover police officers and a moment later the worst happens—bodies and blood everywhere. Gabriel returns to his isolated cottage on the Cornish coast, believing his role in this affair is over. But he is soon drawn back into an operation against an evil network. At the center is an American-born cleric from Yemen to whom Allah has granted “a beautiful and seductive tongue.” A gifted deceiver, the cleric once worked as a paid CIA asset and is now plotting to succeed Osama Bin Laden. The cleric is not an ally of al-Qaeda but a rival. Gabriel agrees to mount an operation against the network, using any and all means necessary to protect lives. The stakes could not be higher. Set against the disparate worlds of art and intelligence, PORTRAIT OF A SPY moves swiftly from the corridors of power in Washington, to the glamorous auction houses of New York and London, to the glittering streets of Paris and the unforgiving landscape of the Saudi desert. It features one of the most memorable cast of characters in contemporary fiction, and a climax that will leave readers haunted long after they turn the final page. Silva is the author of thirteen bestsellers, and his books have been translated into more than thirty languages worldwide. Harper

Todd, Charles THE CONFESSION: An Inspector Ian Rutledge Mystery New York Times bestselling author Charles Todd brings back Scotland Yard’s best detective, Ian Rutledge, to solve a dangerous case that reaches far into the past. Lee Child has called the Rutledge series “a masterpiece of imagination” and “an amazing piece of technical virtuosity.” A man confesses to a crime he didn’t commit. The name he gives to Scotland Yard is not his own, it’s another man’s. When he is found floating in the Thames, a murder victim himself, and is finally identified, Scotland Yard Inspector Ian Rutledge must rethink all that he believed he knew about the case, and suddenly finds himself with three murders on his hands. There is no apparent motive for any of them, only a very tenuous connection with a village that will do anything to protect itself from notoriety. For notoriety brings the curious, and with the curious comes change and an unwelcome spotlight on one act of evil that even two centuries later will damn them all. Charles Todd is the New York Times bestselling author of thirteen Ian Rutledge mysteries, three Bess Crawford mysteries, and one stand-alone novel. A mother and son writing team, they live in Delaware and North Carolina. William Morrow

This is the story of an almost-love affair that begins on the Italian coast in 1962…and resurfaces fifty years later in contemporary Hollywood. As rumors begin to trickle out about chaos on the set of the multimillion-dollar epic Cleopatra, a blonde American starlet—beautiful, mysterious, said to be dying—appears at the Hotel Adequate View, a failing hotel on the Italian coast. A short time later, a fast-talking young publicist shows up—and, with him, the roguish , rapacious with drink. Pasquale Tursi, the young proprietor of the hotel, has no idea what to make of the publicist or of Burton. He only knows that he has fallen—hopelessly, haplessly—in love with the starlet. Fifty years later, the story begins again on a studio lot in Hollywood—when an elderly man shows up at the office of the publicist, now a legendary producer, asking after the mysterious starlet who came to his hotel fifty years earlier. What unfolds is a dazzling rollercoaster of a novel, full of Walter’s trademark unforgettable characters.

BIOGRAPHY / MEMOIR

Albright, Madeleine PRAGUE WINTER: A Personal Story of Remembrance and War, 1937-1948 From one of the international community’s most respected and fascinating figures comes a deeply personal memoir and incisive work of historical analysis of twelve turbulent years in world history. Before she turned twelve, ’s life was shaken by the Nazi invasion of her native Prague, the Battle of Britain, the attempted destruction of European Jewry, the allied victory in World War II, the rise of communism, and the onset of the Cold War. The experiences of a young Albright and her family provide a lens through which to view the most tumultuous dozen years in modern history. Drawing on her memory, her parents’ written reflections, interviews with contemporaries, and newly-available documents, she reveals a historical narrative that is by turns harrowing and inspiring. The years 1937-1948 witnessed the destruction of one world and its replacement by another. Albright reflects on the contemporary relevance of the moral choices confronted by statesmen and average citizens in this era, including those affecting members of her own family. PRAGUE WINTER takes readers from the Bohemian capital’s thousand-year-old castle to the bomb shelters of London, from the Terezin ghetto to the highest councils of European and American government. Often relying on eyewitness descriptions, Albright tells the stories of millions of ordinary citizens ripped from familiar surroundings and forced into new roles as exiles and soldiers, collaborators and resistance leaders, victims and killers. These events of enormous complexity are nevertheless shaped by concepts familiar to any growing child: fear, trust, adaptation, the search for identity, and the difference between right and wrong. Madeleine Albright is the author of the New York Times bestsellers MADAM SECRETARY, THE MIGHTY AND THE ALMIGHTY, MEMO TO THE PRESIDENT, and READ MY PINS. She was U.S. Secretary of State from 1997 to 2001. Her distinguished career of public service includes positions in the National Security Council and as U.S. Ambassador to the . Harper

Allmann, Gregg *UNTITLED MEMOIR One of the founding members of The Allman Brothers Band, Gregg Allman will discuss for the first time the unflinching story of his life in music—from the Allman Brothers, to his solo career, to his string of failed marriages, the most publicized one to the entertainer Cher, to his struggles with drugs and alcohol, detailing his rocky path to becoming a member of classic rock royalty. From Gregg’s rough n’ tumble youth with his older brother Duane, to the formation of the band that would go on to change the sound of rock and roll, this music legend’s stories will be shared in the authentic and unforgettable voice of the man who lived them. From the beginning the Allman Brothers received nearly universal praise from fans and critics alike, and yet at almost every turn, the band’s success was met by tragedy. What began with Duane Allman’s tragic death in a motorcycle accident continued when, a year later, bassist Berry Oakley was also killed on a motorcycle. Allman will open up about his decades plagued by substance abuse, his illness with Hepatitis C, and his life-saving liver transplant in 2010. Allman has been making music for almost fifty years and during that time he has recorded some of the most iconic songs in American rock. Inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1995, Gregg Allman continues to make music as a solo artist and tour with the Allman Brothers Band. This year, Allman released his first solo effort in 14 years, Low Country Blues, which debuted on the Billboard Top 200 at number 5. William Morrow

Benincasa, Sara AGORAFABULOUS: Dispatches From My Bedroom A hilarious, raw, and poignant account of how a terrified young woman literally trapped by her own imagination evolved into a (relatively) high-functioning professional smartass. Comedian and radio host Sara Benincasa’s struggle with panic disorder began with childhood panic attacks and intensified until she developed agoraphobia so severe that, at the age of twenty-one, she was afraid to leave her own bedroom and sank into a suicidal depression. Garbage piled up against the wall as her appetite for food—and life—faded away. She squatted over cereal bowls and coffee mugs to relieve herself, too frightened even to enter her own bathroom. Her illness had nearly consumed her when friends and family intervened. Today, Sara is an internationally touring comedian and a radio host, but her present life would have been inconceivable to that frightened, stick-thin 21-year-old woman crouching in the dark. Sara’s writing is unpretentious, her insights are earthy and relatable, and she’s really, really funny. AGORAFABULOUS! speaks to readers who long for the type of politically incorrect hilarity so often lacking in the typical self-serious memoir. William Morrow

Brinkley, Douglas CRONKITE The definitive, revealing biography of an American legend—renowned news anchor —by a bestselling American historian. Walter Cronkite, the most revered and beloved journalist of the twentieth century, spent decades reporting from the frontlines, but until now relatively little has been known about the life of the man who brought America its news. Based on unprecedented access to Cronkite’s private papers as well as interviews with him before his death, brings to life the American icon who, as anchor of CBS Evening News, became known as the “most trusted man in America.” Born in Missouri and raised mostly in Texas, Cronkite dropped out of college during the Great Depression and began working as a journalist and radio broadcaster.

From his anchor chair, Cronkite reported on the events of each day, always closing with his signature line “And that’s the way it was.” He was also witness—and the nation’s voice—through the most profound moments in American history, from the Kennedy Assassination and Apollo 11 and Apollo 13 to Watergate and the . Epic, intimate, and masterfully written, CRONKITE is the much-anticipated biography of an extraordinary American life.

Busch, Benjamin DUST TO DUST: A Memoir DUST TO DUST heralds the arrival of a great new literary voice. It is an extraordinary memoir about life and death, war and peace, the explorations of childhood and revelations of adulthood. Benjamin Busch—U.S. Marine who served two combat tours in Iraq, actor on The Wire, and son of celebrated novelist Frederick Busch—has crafted a This Boy’s Life for our time, themed around elemental things—water, metal, bone, blood. Busch writes with great poignancy and enormous emotional power about the formative experiences throughout life.

Cannon, Dyan DEAR CARY, A Memoir For the first time, with heartrending honesty and emotion, actress Dyan Cannon tells the story of her relationship and marriage to Hollywood legend Cary Grant. They were a glamorous and popular pair, the epicenter of chic and swinging 1960s Hollywood, and for a few brief years their romance flourished and played out like one of Grant’s movies: bold, witty, full of dramatic gestures and equally tender moments. Cary Grant pursued her relentlessly, they married and had a daughter, but when the love ended, it ended dramatically—on the courthouse steps and on the front page of every newspaper in the world. It has taken Cannon two decades to reconcile herself to the death of Cary, and forgive both him and herself. DEAR CARY is the end result of that acceptance, and her final love letter to her one true love. It gives us an insider’s privileged look inside Hollywood’s inner circles, and reveals another side of Grant, his tortured childhood, controlling ways, drug abuse and the demons he couldn’t outrun. !t Books

Eldon, Kathy *TAKING FLIGHT After graduating from university, Kathy Eldon married a Brit and moved to London in 1969. In 1978, her husband came to her with an opportunity that might provide the adventure and life experience she craved: they were to move with their two young children to Kenya. There, Kathy and her husband set about raising Dan and Amy in a life of safaris and social engagement, in a society that shaped them to be spiritual and artistic. Eldon dove into this tumultuous new world as a journalist and writer. But this is not a romanticized paean to Africa, and TAKING FLIGHT describes the darker aspects Eldon began to discover in her adopted homeland. Her darkest moment of all came in 1993 when her son Dan, a twenty-two-year-old photojournalist for Reuters, was stoned to death by an 36 angry mob in Somalia. Eldon knew that there was no way through her grief unless she could transform it into something positive. Her journey through grief has been deeply spiritual, and she describes how she began to understand that Dan was ever-present in her life. An African adventure, a family saga, a spiritual journey, and even a psychic mystery, TAKING FLIGHT is, most of all, a story of love and destiny. Kathy Eldon has worked as a teacher, editor, journalist, and film and television producer and is the author of several previous books. She and her daughter Amy launched Creative Visions Foundation to support “creative activists” like Dan, who use media to inform, inspire and empower positive change.

Is he a fierce politician and business maverick, or a loyal family man and devout Mormon? The book explores Romney’s personal life, his relationship with his wife, who suffers from multiple sclerosis, and his difficult missionary time in France, where a fatal car crash had a profound effect on his path. It will also cover Mitt’s privileged upbringing in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan and his close relationship with his father.

Kyle, Chris McEwen, Scott : The Autobiography of the Most Lethal Sniper in U.S. Military History The memoir of the most successful—and deadly—sniper in American history, with a foreword by Marcus Luttrell, New York Times bestselling author of Lone Survivor. Former U.S. Navy SEAL tells the story of his legendary career, from 1999-2009, during which time he recorded the most confirmed sniper kills (officially a record 155, though the real number is much higher) in the history of the United States military, any branch, from 1776 to present. With the pacing of a thriller, AMERICAN SNIPER vividly recounts Chief Kyle’s experiences at key battles, including the March on Baghdad (beginning of Iraq War), Fallujah, Ramadi, and Sadr City.

AMERICAN SNIPER provides a rare, first-hand glimpse at the elite world of the SEALs and combat snipers who fought in a war where the Rules of Engagement only allowed for precise surgical strikes at the heart of a well trained and well organized opposition force, which had virtually no Rules of Engagement. Chief Kyle’s service in combat earned him two Silver Stars, five Bronze Stars with Valor, one Navy and Marine Corps Commendation with Valor, and two Navy and 38

Marine Corps Achievement Medals with Valor. Additionally, he was awarded the Grateful Nation Award, given by the Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs. Following his combat deployments, the Navy assigned Kyle to be the chief instructor for training Naval Special Warfare Sniper and Counter-Sniper teams prior to operational deployments. Today he is president and CEO of Craft International (www.craftintl.com), a world-class leader in security. William Morrow

Lithgow, John DRAMA: An Actor’s Education “Lithgow nonetheless emerges as genial, gentle, generous, grateful, self-deprecating and proud but never arrogant.” —Kirkus Reviews “With understated wit, Lithgow delivers insight into the difference between stage and screen acting and offers wonderful anecdotes of directors Brian De Palma and Terrence Malick.” —Publishers Weekly Not a tell-all confessional. Lithgow talks about working with the likes of Mike Nichols and while considering what drives actors to act. He places special emphasis on what he learned from his father, Arthur Lithgow, an actor/director/producer who introduced his son to the joys of the stage. Not for celebrity spies but serious theater/film buffs, this promises to be informative and delightful. With a 100,000-copy first . — Journal, Advance Reviews A charming, witty, and revealing memoir by one of our most cherished performers. Through the vivid stories in DRAMA, John Lithgow lays bare the pivotal, tumultous moments in his life that shaped him, and he provides unique insight into the art and craft of acting. Lithgow gives a backstage history of his struggle, crisis, and discovery, and the scenes of his early life and career that took place out of the public eye, before he became a nationally-known star. The theatre worlds of New York and London come to life here as never before, as Lithgow works with renowned performers and directors including Mike Nichols, Bob Fosse, Liv Ullmann, Meryl Streep, and Brian De Palma. But more than anything else, DRAMA is a tribute to the most important influence in John Lithgow’s life: his father Arthur Lithgow. An actor, director, producer, and great lover of Shakespeare, Arthur Lithgow brought theatre to John’s boyhood, where performance and storytelling were a constant and cherished part of family life. Illuminating, funny, and thorougly engrossing, Lithgow’s meditation on the nature of acting, theatre, performance, and storytelling cuts to the heart of why actors are driven to perform and why people are equally driven to watch them do it. John Lithgow is an award-winning actor who has won five Emmys, two Tony Awards, and two Golden 39

Globe Awards, and has been nominated twice for the Academy Award for Best Actor in a Supporting Role. In addition to his starring roles on stage, film and television, he is also a New York Times bestselling author of eight books for children. Harper

One of the greatest country duos of all time, the Louvin brothers split up too soon by brother Ira’s hard-drinking ways and notorious temper. Ira was know for smashing his mandolin onstage and having an altercation with Elvis Presley after calling the young rock-and-roller’s music “trash.” Ira lived fast and died young, and Charlie went on with a solo career producing Billboard-charting top hits and winning Grammy awards. The Louvin brothers were polar opposites who were in harmony only when singing. SATAN IS REAL offers a dark and complex version of the timeless brother-against-brother story against a backdrop of increasing country music success. With a foreword by Kris Kristofferson, and designed and packaged by the Neil Strauss and Anthony Bozza of the Igniter team, this promises to be a highly visual package. Igniter

Max, Peter *THE UNIVERSE ACCORDING TO PETER MAX: A Psychedelic Odyssey As instantly recognizable as Peter Max’s artwork is, his life story is not as well known. Here, for the first time, Peter Max details the large and small brush strokes of his life’s journey-in his own words and images. In fifty intimate essays, Max muses on a variety of thematic subjects, all the while telling his life story-from his birth in Berlin to a childhood spent in Shanghai to his odyssey to New York City, and his subsequent ascension into the celebrity-filled artworld of the 1960s and beyond. In each essay, Max relates intimate details of his life as they relate to the nature of creativity, and reveals how he has been able to see art in the everyday and how you can, too. Vibrant artwork- some of which have never been seen before-accompanies the essays, providing an illuminating, colorful look into the inspired life and times of Peter Max. Considered by many to be the world’s most iconic pop artist, Max’s signature “Cosmic 1960s”-style artwork defined a generation. Besides painting the colossal mural for the 1969 Woodstock festival, he has also painted Lady Liberty on the White House lawn, served as the official artist for the Grammys, the United Nations Earth Summit, and five Superbowls, and had his paintings grace the covers of People, U.S. News & World Report, Life, and Manhattan’s Yellow Pages-twice.

Miller, Carol *UNTITLED MEMOIR Carol Miller grew up under the watchful eyes of her parents in a very traditional Jewish household in Queens. One night, as a kid, she heard a barbershop quartet practicing in the alley under her window and fell in love with the music. When she went to find it on the radio, her parents scolded her for having such poor taste. But it was too late—she was hooked on popular music. At the University of Pennsylvania, the university radio station was looking for students to help out. Carol thought she might make a good station secretary—until she got in the DJ booth. Pursuing radio with dogged intensity and ambition, she landed increasingly high profile spots in Philadelphia and then New York radio. Her life in radio is as star-studded as her upbringing was traditional—she’s the first DJ to play Bruce Springsteen on the radio in New York, is asked for by name by Paul McCartney, becomes close with (until Bebe Buell attacks her in a club), Lily Tomlin shared her drugs with her and she dated Paul Stanley, who turned out to be a nice Jewish boy from the same kind of neighborhood she grew up in. In her inimitable voice, this story of a life in rock, will make you laugh, break your heart, and make you wish you had spent the last 30 years like Carol Miller, spinning the best of rock for fans and friends. Carol Miller is one of the longest- 40 running New York radio personalities. She’s been on the air at WPLJ and WNEW, is a member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and hosted dozens of national and international radio shows. She has also appeared on VH-1, ET and elsewhere.

Moore, Demi *UNTITLED MEMOIR ’s revelatory, moving memoir will chronicle her early life and career as one of America's most well- known and successful actors. The candid narrative is framed by her complicated relationship with her alcoholic, drug-addicted mother, King Guynes, who died in 1998, and her own addictive struggle with alcohol, drugs and, most challenging, food. Moore details the love-hate relationship between her parents (which endured and finally crumbled in the aftermath of their third divorce), their destructive behavior that ultimately left Moore to fend for herself as a 16-year-old high school drop-out, and her discovery at fourteen that Danny Guynes, who raised her as his daughter, was not in fact her biological father. Recounting her nomadic childhood—she moved eighteen times between the ages of eight and fifteen (what she calls her “gypsy life”) and attended at least 20 different schools—Moore elucidates the forces that irrevocably shaped her as an aspiring actor. She reveals the surprising private face of the celebrity whose public façade is inseparable from the tough, confident women she has portrayed in her best-known, timeless roles, from JoAnne Galloway in A Few Good Men to Lieutenant Jordan O’Neil in GI Jane. Touching on her own experiences as a mother and wife, as well as her work with DNA—her foundation, with husband Ashton Kutcher, dedicated to ending child sex slavery and human trafficking—Moore details her life off- screen and on in a brave, insightful exploration of the events that formed her artistic conscience. Ultimately a story of triumph over adversity, and strength in the face of incredible odds, Moore’s memoir unravels a journey that defined her as a person and an actor, but a journey no child should have to make.

Sharon, Gilad SHARON: The Life of a Leader A riveting insider’s look at the life and work of Ariel Sharon from the former Israeli Prime Minister’s youngest son, with information never before revealed to the public about major global events. Drawing from his father’s extensive archives—personal notes, detailed diaries, and much more—Gilad Sharon examines his father’s political legacy, surveying more than thirty years of leadership on a global stage. Ariel Sharon was in office five years, from his election in February 2001 until his stroke in January 2006. During that time he walked a fine line between waging war on those whose goal was to destroy his country and accommodating himself to allies who often seemed less than allies, and sometimes even less than friends. Throughout his tenure he was in constant contact with world leaders and decision-makers: George W. Bush, , Vladimir Putin, King Abdullah, Silvio Berlsusconi, Kofi Annan, Gerhardt Schroeder, , Condoleezza Rice, Jacques Chirac, Hosni Mubarak, Mahmoud Abbas, and others. But what the public knew of these interactions often differed dramatically from what went on in private. Unbeknownst to everyone, Sharon kept meticulous notes on practically everything he did as prime minister: diaries, day books, talking points for discussions with heads of state, assessments of those discussions, governmental instructions, military directives, observations on crucial issues, correspondence, reflections on world leaders, what he said to them and they to him, his inner thoughts, his strategies, etc. Taken together, these documents constitute an intimate record of some of the world’s most crucial issues, and a powerful portrait of one of the most significant and controversial leaders of our time. Gilad Sharon, a major in the Israeli Defense Force reserves, holds a Masters degree in Economics and frequently contributes columns for the Israeli press. Harper 42

Winters, Michael Sean GOD’S RIGHT HAND: How Jerry Falwell Made God a Republican and Baptized the American Right Born in 1930s Appalachia, Jerry Falwell would become, by the end of the 20th century, the most prominent evangelical leader the nation had ever seen, and for many, the face of Christianity in America. The child of agnostic parents, he made a name for himself as a pastor and later founded his own Christian university. Although he was initially ambivalent about getting involved in politics, Falwell and his controversial Moral Majority rose to prominence and his work intersected with the major issues and leaders of the day, from Larry Flynt to Billy Graham, from to Bill Clinton. Michael Sean Winters unpacks the key moments of an unlikely life and its impact on religious and political life in the United States. He brings to life a man with sincere beliefs, but a lightning rod who enraged the left with his polarizing tactics, and whose political cooperation prompted fundamentalist Bob Jones, Jr., to famously call him “the most dangerous man in America.” Falwell single-handedly put Fundamentalism at the forefront of the political discourse and made the Religious Right a powerful player in American politics. Winters has written a fair and fascinating account of both a life and a shift in our culture. Michael Sean Winters is the author of Left at the Altar: How Democrats Lost the Catholics and How Catholics Can Save the Democrats. He has written for publications including The New Republic, the New York Times, Washington Post, Washingtonian, Slate.com, and America, and is a regular contributor to the National Catholic Reporter and The Tablet (London).

Colvin, Shawn *A FEW SMALL REPAIRS From prolific, talented American and musician Shawn Colvin comes A FEW SMALL REPAIRS, her candid, colorful coming-of-age story recounting over 30 years touring, writing, and living to make music, with plenty of behind-the-music stories along the way. During much of 1997, the song that captured the public imagination was not your typical pop song. It was a song about a woman undone, a would-be arsonist, and ultimately, a survivor, named “Sunny.” That song, “Sunny Came Home,” launched singer-songwriter Shawn Colvin to stardom, after 20 years working in the music business. Like Sunny, Colvin knows a thing or two about surviving heartache—and setting fires—and now for the first time, she tells her story. It is the coming-of-age of a passionate young musician in the late ‘70s and ‘80s, making every mistake out of small-town, prairie ; and it is also the maturation of a woman finding her voice, and learning to care for a child as well as herself. With perspective and humor she describes driving cross-country on tour in vans full of boys, and falling in and out of love; making music of all genres with lifelong friends, and meeting heroes like Joni Mitchell; facing addiction and staying sober, weathering divorce and raising a daughter on her own—and learning to channel it all into the culmination of her talent and experience, in songwriting. Shawn Colvin’s breakthrough success was the album A Few Small Repairs in 1996, featuring the song “Sunny Came Home,” a top 10 hit which won Grammys for Record of the Year and Song of the Year. Colvin has released ten albums, won three Grammy Awards and been nominated for seven others. The book will coincide with the release of her new album. William Morrow

Lewis, Jerry Lee with Rick Bragg *BURN & RAVE: A Life From rock ‘n’ roll great Jerry Lee Lewis, and co-authored with bestselling and Pulitzer Prize winning writer Rick Bragg, this memoir promises to be as explosive as his legendary stage performances. Known for piano-driven smash hits such as “Great Balls of Fire” and “Whole Lotta Shakin’ Goin’ On,” Jerry Lee Lewis is equally known for a private life as wild as his stage act, from getting thrown out of Bible school (for playing his kind of music) to a 45 marriage to his 13-year-old cousin that nearly destroyed his career. Born into a poor family, Lewis’s parents mortgaged their farm to buy him a piano. After being whacked by his teacher for playing his own style of music, he quit and taught himself to play. Lewis created his style by mixing rhythm and blues, boogie-woogie, gospel, and country music. He quickly became part of the burgeoning new rock and roll sound, and began recording hits that brought him international fame. When he went on his now legendary, then catastrophic, tour of England, the press discovered that he had married his 13-year-old cousin Myra Brown and hounded him out of the country. Upon returning home, he found his career in ruins and most radio stations would not play his music. In the following years he battled financial setbacks, alcohol abuse, the early deaths of two of his children, and a rocky sixth marriage that ended in 2005. Now a free man and a proven trend-setter who pioneered a style of music he alone designed, Jerry Lee Lewis still tours the world and plays the piano like nobody else. !t Books

In MY MARILYN, Schiller opens the vault to reveal his complete shoot from that day—in a combination of gloriously reproduced plates and contact sheets.

Walker, Butch DRINKING WITH STRANGERS: Music Lessons from a Teenage Bullet Belt From Butch Walker, voted one of ’s “Producer of the Year,” and called one of “America’s best singer- ” (Rolling Stone) comes a behind-the-scenes memoir of his music career, from his roots in to his current producing days in Hollywood where he works with some of today’s hottest talent, including Weezer, Katy Perry, Dashboard Confessional, Pink, Tommy Lee, Fall Out Boy, and The Donnas to name a few. Since his days with his Georgia band, the Marvelous 3, Butch Walker has been a successful and performer-- he’s played with Taylor Swift at the Grammys, he sells out shows across the country every year, and he continues to produce and write songs for some of today’s most popular musical acts. And although Butch has made his career look easy, it’s been an epic and colorful battle every step of the way—he’s lived in his car when he couldn’t make ends meet; has been kicked off by about 4 record labels (and he’s not afraid to name names of those executives he doesn’t like); he lost all of his belongings (including some of his master recordings) when the Hollywood house he was renting from Flea, of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, burned to the ground during the wild fires in California in ‘07; and although he was originally supposed to be one of the judges on Mark Burnett’s ROCK STAR, along with his friend Tommy Lee, his appearances ended up in the cutting room floor because he was too critical of the performers. Just like THE KID STAYS IN THE PICTURE chronicled the ups and downs of Hollywood movie making, DRINKING WITH STRANGERS is Walker’s unique look at the music industry—he’s that rare talent who plays on both sides of the music world as both producer AND performer (common in hip hop but a rarity in rock) with a unique vantage point to tell the tales of all the changes in the music world as they’ve happened over the last 10 years, through his own story.

Beauregard, Mario MIND SCIENCE: A Neuroscientist Offers Proof of Where the Brain Ends and Consciousness Begins From the author of THE SPIRITUAL BRAIN comes a challenge to materialist science, which assumes that human beings are essentially collections of material particles, and all our thoughts, feelings, beliefs, intentions, sense of self and spiritual experiences are nothing more than electrochemical impulses in our . In MIND SCIENCE, Dr. Beauregard presents a series of empirical evidence demonstrating that the materialist model of reality is just plain false and that humans are much more than material machines. He introduces scientific findings that indicate that thoughts, beliefs, emotions, volition, and mental images can greatly influence the activity of the brain and the physiological systems (e.g., immune system, endocrine system). He shows that meditation training can change the physical structure of the brain and presents research data on near-death experiences indicating that mind and consciousness can continue when the brain is no longer functional. Mind and consciousness can survive physical death, can significantly influence cerebral activity and the physiological systems connected to this organ; the human mind can also interact at a distance with physical systems (e.g., electronic devices) and biological organisms (e.g., microorganisms, plants, animals, humans), and operate beyond brain. This emerging worldview has deep social, moral, and spiritual implications and may contribute to the appearance of a planetary form of consciousness. Mario Beauregard is currently Associate Research Professor at the Departments of Psychology and Radiology, and the Neuroscience Research Center, Université de Montréal. He is the author of THE SPIRITUAL BRAIN, and more than 100 publications in neuroscience, psychology and psychiatry. His groundbreaking work on the neurobiology of mind, emotion and spiritual experiences has received international media coverage. His work has been covered by major newspapers and magazines such as , , The Globe and Mail, National Post, Scientific American Mind, Science Magazine, The New Scientist, and The Economist. In 2010, Dr. Beauregard received the Spectrum Award from the World Organization for Human Potential (WOHP, USA) for his work in neuroscience. HarperOne

Bergstein, Rachelle *WOMEN FROM THE ANKLE DOWN: The Story of Shoes and How They Define Us The story of shoes in the past hundred-plus years is the story of women, told from the ankle down. From Marilyn Monroe’s Ferragamo stilettos to Jane Fonda’s Reeboks, WOMEN FROM THE ANKLE DOWN is a delightful romp through the history of shoes and the women who wore them. Women love shoes. But how did we get here? What is it about footwear that leaves women so breathless? Part social history, part fashion history and part pop-culture celebration, this book opens in the rural village of Bonito, Italy where a young Salvatore Ferragamo set out to change the landscape for footwear, and ends in New York City, where a fictional socialite named Carrie Bradshaw refused to settle for Mr. Wrong and felt entitled to treat herself to expensive shoes. It makes pit-stops in Hollywood, where Judy Garland first slipped on her ruby slippers; in New Jersey, where Nancy Sinatra heard something special in a song about boots; and in the streets of Manhattan, where the 1980 transit strike caused women to kick off their heels and step into new cutting-edge athletic shoes for their commutes. The book explores the stories behind these historical moments, and draws in the design innovations and social changes that gave each one its lasting significance and appeal. Harper

Casti, John L X-EVENTS: How Advanced Societies Will Collapse Nassim Taleb’s The Black Swan meets Jared Diamond’s Collapse in this provocative and highly readable account about how today’s advanced societies are highly vulnerable to extreme events that could topple civilization like a house of cards. A complex system has formed on a scale never before imagined. All it may take to send civilization crashing backward by a millennium is a nudge from what complexity theorists like John Casti call an “X-Event,” an unpredictable scenario that yields extreme consequences. When the X-Event hits, finance, communication, and travel will halt. The flow of food, electricity, medicine, and clean water will cease. What will you do? A renowned complexity scientist, Dr. Casti shows how our world has become impossibly complex. Technology is advancing at an exponential rate and so too is our reliance on technology for every aspect of our lives. Yet it is a rule of mathematics that higher and higher levels of complexity make a system correspondingly more fragile and vulnerable to sudden, spectacular collapse. Fascinating and chilling, X-EVENTS (shorthand for “extreme events”) provides a provocative tour of the catastrophic outlier scenarios that would send us back to the horse-and-buggy era in a flash: global financial “black swans”; the world-wide crash of the internet that would halt all communication; the end of oil, nuclear winter, “nano-plagues”; robot uprisings; electromagnetic-pulse bombs; pandemic viruses; and more. John L. Casti, Ph.D., is Senior Research Scholar at the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis, where he heads an initiative for the study on Extreme Events in Human Society. He worked for many years at the Sante Fe Institute and the RAND Corporation, as well as serving on the faculties of Princeton, the University of Arizona, and NYU. A former editor of the journal Complexity, Casti received his Ph.D. in mathematics from the University of Southern California. He lives in Vienna, . William Morrow

As set forth in the original jacket copy, this “graphic and thrilling account of the sinking of the greatest palace ever built, carrying down to watery graves more than 1,500 souls… gives exciting escapes from death and acts of heroism not equaled in ancient or modern times, as told by the survivors, and includes the history of icebergs, the terror of the seas, wireless telegraphy, and modern shipbuilding.” Now back in print, our collector’s edition features specially commissioned illustrations and an updated package from one of London’s leading design studios, Minalima, as well as photographs sourced from The Titanic Historical Society archives. An all-new foreword dissects the events leading up to the great disaster and contextualizes the cultural influence of the Titanic today. Re-imagined by the same design team that brought Harry 52

Faber, Urijah Keown, Tim *THE LAW OF THE RING Mixed Martial Arts pioneer Urijah “The California Kid” Faber combines The 48 Laws of Power, the humor of Got Fight?, and the classic Eastern philosophy of The Art of War in this unconventional and enlightening guide to mental dominance and personal success. Thanks to a combination of physical prowess, indomitable will, and sharp and unconventional powers of observation, Urijah Faber has risen to the top of the mixed martial arts food chain. In THE LAWS OF THE RING, he draws from these strengths, providing a unique and deeply personal look at life in and outside the cage—lessons fans can use to shape their own worlds.

Fox, John *BOUNCE (title to change): A Brief History of the Ball and How It Taught the World to Play An engaging, popular history of the ball and the evolution of human play, BOUNCE takes us to the far reaches of the globe and the deep recesses of our ancient past to answer a child’s question: “Why do we play ball, anyway?” Inspired by the curiosity of his sport-obsessed 8-year-old son, anthropologist John Fox sets off on a global adventure to explore the untold history of our favorite ball games, their origins and evolution, and how a simple invention like the ball has come through time to stake an unrivaled claim on our passions, our money, and our lives. Part history, part travelogue, and part sportscast, BOUNCE takes us from the jungles of Mexico to the farm country of and from the courts of the ancient Pharaohs to the virtual playing fields of “Second Life,” to explore the gritty, ritualistic, violent, bizarre, primal drama of ball games as we’ve played them across the centuries. John Fox, a Harvard Ph.D. in anthropology, has excavated ancient ball courts in Central America, traced ’s route across China, and biked Africa’s Rift Valley in search of human origins. He has worked as an academic, and, more recently, as a co-leader of the Quest Channel Expeditions, a pioneering adventure learning program that took him and an online audience of a million young people on expeditions across six continents to explore the world’s greatest scientific and historic mysteries.

Hirshman, Linda *VICTORY: How a Despised Minority Pushed Back, Beat Death, Found Love, and Changed America for Everyone In the vein of Taylor Branch’s classic on the civil rights movement (Parting of the Waters), VICTORY is a popular history of the gay rights movement—the stunning success story of how a dedicated minority transformed the notion of American equality and forged a classic campaign for cultural change. Through rich archival material and over 100 interviews, VICTORY tells the story of how, in less than forty years, a band of despised, quarrelsome, marginal, closeted people grew to the army that made a revolution in the most fundamental area of human identity: how we find love and how we reproduce ourselves. Much has been written about the gay struggle and gay rights— the Plague Years, the men and women who made Stonewall, the short career of Harvey Milk, the marriage arguments pro and con—but no one has written the full story from start to finish and certainly not as a political classic.

Deborah Kenny was a young single mother of three who turned personal tragedy into triumph when she founded the Harlem Village Academies. Under her leadership, students have achieved dramatic gains. Despite entering among the lowest 20th percentile in the country in 2008, Harlem Village Academies made history when 100% of eighth graders passed the New York State math test, ranking them #1 of all public schools in New York State. In 2010, 100% scored proficient in science and 100% in social studies. Their teachers are smart, driven, and caring. How do they do it? The answer is culture. How people feel at work—how they are treated, and the values exhibited by their colleagues-determines the caliber of people who are attracted to an organization. But BE THE CULTURE is not just an education book. It’s also a model for leading organizations of all kinds. Through a culture of accountability, Kenny shows teachers, parents, and business leaders how to create a passion for learning and change in their own organizations. Dr. Deborah Kenny is widely regarded as one of the most influential education entrepreneurs in the country, and a highly respected authority on public education.

Parnell, Sean with John R. Bruning OUTLAW PLATOON: A Season of War in the Bloodiest Corner of Afghanistan This is just about as raw and real as battle narratives get. Few platoon-level accounts today have the sustained, combat-intensive nature of Parnell’s story from the Afghanistan-Pakistan border in 2006 and 2007. Part of the legendary 10th Mountain Division, Parnell’s unit, nicknamed “Outlaw Platoon,” was given a job that it was uniquely trained for: rooting Taliban insurgents out of a mountain valley some thirty miles south of the area Sebastian Junger wrote about in his current bestseller, War. (Parnell, after his deployment, helped train Junger’s unit for its own deployment.) In their sixteen months in that death trap, Parnell and his men killed some 350 insurgent fighters in pitched battle—without inflicting any civilian casualties. They sustained 85 percent casualties themselves, a figure the U.S. Army hasn’t seen since Gettysburg. Sean Parnell, a U.S. Army Airborne Ranger and Afghanistan counterinsurgency subject matter expert, served in the legendary 10th Mountain Division for six years, retiring as a highly decorated captain. For sixteen months he and his men experienced some of the most brutal fighting in this war-torn area. His unit’s controversial final engagement against Al Qaeda forces, in January 2006, prompted a turning point in U.S.-Pakistani relations. John R. Bruning is the author or collaborating writer of fifteen nonfiction and military history books, including the critically acclaimed Shadow of the Sword with Jeremiah Workman (Ballantine/Presidio), How to Break a Terrorist with Matthew Alexander (), House to House with David Bellavia (Free Press), The Devil's Sandbox (Zenith), and Ghost: Confessions of a Counterterrorism Agent with Fred Burton.

Phipps, Carter EVOLUTIONARIES: The Visionary New Synthesis of Science, Soul, and Purpose “Carter Phipps brilliantly expands our understanding of evolution by showing us that a new science is emerging— one that will holistically integrate theories of consciousness, cosmology, and evolution. Evolutionaries is going to help create a worldview that will influence our vision of the future direction of evolution and also our role in consciously participating in it” —Deepak Chopra This first popular presentation of an emerging school of thought called “evolutionary spirituality” will do for evolution what Gary Zukav and Lynne McTaggart have done for physics. Evolution is the most creative, awe-inspiring force in the universe—it propelled the world from the to the wonders of human achievement. Sadly we’ve reduced all discussion of evolution to a debate between two opposing sides, the Godless Darwinists vs. anti- science Creationists. But in fact, there is a growing spectrum of bold, visionary ideas that are causing us to 56 understand evolution in spiritual terms. Perfectly positioned as the influential Executive Editor of EnlightenNext magazine, Carter Phipps has made it his life’s work to chart the emerging evolutionary theories in both science and spirituality. This book will be the first popular guide to these exciting progressive minds who are rethinking our conclusions about where we come from, who we are, and where we might be going. Is evolution spiritually directed? If the universe tends toward higher and higher forms of consciousness, will humans evolve toward the divine? Is human civilization now nearing a point where we have the power to take the reigns of evolution from nature and consciously evolve ourselves in any direction we choose? If so, what future should we choose? Identifying twelve distinct streams or schools of evolutionary thought, EVOLUTIONARIES reveals a fascinating, challenging, and accurate picture of how evolution is being perceived in the spiritual, philosophical, and scientific circles that are helping define the leading edge of contemporary culture. Carter Phipps is Executive Editor of EnlightenNext magazine (formerly What Is Enlightenment?). He is a key player in a growing network of thinkers, activists, spiritual leaders, scientists, scholars, and cultural pioneers who are reshaping the face of spirituality and progressive culture today.

" —Michael York " . . . a beautiful book that will have a deep impact on our understanding of the Shakespeare plays set in Italy." —Dr. William Leahy “A fascinating look at a largely untouched aspect of Shakespeare’s identity and influences. —Library Journal, starred review Equal parts literary detective story and full-color travelogue chronicling the author’s thirty-year successful quest to find the actual locations in which scenes of the Bard’s ten Italian plays are set, THE SHAKESPEARE GUIDE TO ITALY will forever change our understanding of who Shakespeare really was. Roe traveled the length and breadth of Italy, researching, seeking out and documenting the exact settings in the Italian Plays. As his forensic guide, Roe has used only the words spoken by the playwright’s characters, and has succeeded in locating virtually every single thing they mention. Did we know that there is still a sycamore grove outside the western walls of Verona, where lovesick Romeo wandered? Did we know that the Athens of “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” is in Italy, not Greece? And what about those “yellow sands” of which Ariel sings in “The Tempest”? Using more than 150 maps, photographs, and paintings, Roe’s findings make for a rich, compelling, and thought-provoking journey, and demand revisiting, yet again, that age-old question of who, exactly, wrote the plays attributed to —that literary genius who never left England. This book will also feature an introduction by the author’s daughter, Hilary Roe Metternich, that gives a behind-the-scenes look at her father’s Shakespeare obsession and the lengths he went to in pursuit of answers. Richard Paul Roe was a graduate of the University of California at Berkeley with specialization in English literature and European history. He held the degree of Juris Doctor Summa Cum Laude from Southwestern University School of Law (California). In addition to a private legal practice spanning forty years, Mr. Roe undertook a lifelong study of Shakespeare’s so-called “Italian Plays.” Investigation into these plays has involved in-depth examination of all the places in which the Italian Plays are set (and to which allusions are made) as well as wide-ranging research at the British Library, the Biblioteque de Lyon, the Library of Congress, the New York Public Library, the Huntington Library, and the Getty Center Research Library, among others.

Schonwald, Josh THE TASTE OF TOMORROW: Dispatches from the Future of Food For fans of Michael Pollan, a fascinating investigation that takes the conversation a step further into the trends and technologies that are transforming the world of food, from Alice Water’s micro farm to nanotechnology and food pills. Are food pills possible? Can we invent a new species of fish? Journalist Josh Schonwald vividly captures this world and its characters—mad scientists, plucky entrepreneurs, renegade farmers, maverick food engineers, brilliant idealists—racing to revolutionize what we eat. We meet a Harvard pediatrician who gave up a medical career to change the way humans raise fish; a New York chef who believes he’s found the next great ethnic food; a lawyer-turned-nanotechnologist who believes he can completely eliminate the need for food. Schonwald gives us a rare glimpse at the ways new foods are invented. He has come to believe that his one-time hero Michael Pollan has fostered a dangerous strain of anti-scientism, a foodie neo-Luddism. This culinary journey concludes with an impassioned call to action, arguing that food production technologies such as genetic engineering, nanotechnology, and food processing, must be embraced if we are to feed the world and protect the planet. Josh Schonwald has written for the New York Times, Washington Post and Salon, and he edits TheGreenFoodTechie.org. He and his wife and children live with an indoor aquaponic system. Harper

Scroggins, Deborah WANTED WOMEN: Faith, Lies, and the War on Terror: The Lives of and Aafia Siddiqui Award-winning journalist Deborah Scroggins tells the story of two extraordinary women catapulted to fame by the War on Terror, offering a compelling look at the link between Muslim women’s rights, Islamic opposition to the West, and the radical jihadist movement. WANTED WOMEN tells the story of two women, both smart, persuasive, and privileged, yet political polar opposites. Ayaan Hirsi Ali, author of the New York Times bestseller Infidel, was a Somali-born member of parliament in the who became a fierce critic of Islam and a champion of the West. Aafia Siddiqui was an MIT-educated scientist and radical Islamist wanted by the FBI for her ties to al-Qaeda. Ayaan’s courage in the face of Islamist death threats made her an idol to millions of Westerners while Aafia’s alleged imprisonment by the CIA turned her into a heroine to millions of Muslims. They both came to the West from the periphery of the Muslim world in the early 1990s, and in different ways, their respective encounters turned them each into a revolutionary. Scroggins follows these women from their childhoods in Africa and Pakistan, to their first encounters with the West, to the choices each ultimately made to become a leading figure in the War on Terror. Based on scrupulous detective work, WANTED WOMEN exposes the political machinations that have turned each woman into a myth. To complete her research, Scroggins moved her family to Amsterdam and made regular trips to Pakistan, the U.S., and Kenya. The project that began as a dual biography turned into a five-year investigation of the intriguing differences and similarities between the lives of these two women. WANTED WOMEN is a powerful, startling piece of narrative that unravels the delusions still held by the Western and the Islamic worlds about women and warfare. A journalist and author, Deborah Scroggins holds a master’s degree in International Affairs from Columbia University. Her first book, Emma’s War: An Aid Worker, a Warlord, Radical Island was translated into ten languages and is presently being made into a major motion picture directed by Tony Scott, scheduled for release in 2011. Scroggins has also written for Vogue, Granta, The Nation, the Sunday Times Magazine, and many other 58 publications. A foreign correspondent for the Journal-Constitution, she won two Overseas Press Club Awards and the Robert F. Kennedy Award for outstanding coverage of the disadvantaged. Harper

Stewart, Christopher LOST IN THE WHITE CITY For fans of The Lost City of Z—a real-life Indiana Jones story set in the jungle of Honduras from journalist Christopher Stewart. LOST IN THE WHITE CITY chronicles the epic search for a lost city buried somewhere deep in the jungles of the Mosquito Coast in Honduras. The city is called Ciudad Blanca, or the White City, and explorers as far back as the Spanish conquistador Hernan Cortes have all tried to find it—with no luck. Some of the men never came out of the jungle; they died or disappeared. Others got lost. La Mosquitia is one of the biggest, wildest, and most impenetrable jungles in the world—known as the little . But in 1939, one man claimed he located the El Dorado-like city. This is where our story begins. Theodore Morde was an American explorer and World War II spy. His story is as layered and enigmatic as the White City. But there’s a twist: he died under strange circumstances before disclosing the city’s location. There are people who actually believe that the spirits of the lost city killed him. To this day, the mystery remains: What’s out there? What was it that drew in these explorers, and at such terrific risk? LOST IN THE WHITE CITY is ultimately a detective story. With Morde’s secret journals in tow, award-winning journalist Christopher Stewart sets out to find the answers. Christopher S. Stewart’s work has also appeared in GQ, Harper’s, The New York Times Magazine, The Paris Review, Salon, Wired, and other publications. He is the author of HUNTING THE TIGER, a book about Zeljko “Arkan” Raznatovic, the Serbian mobster and warlord. Harper

Kellerman, Barbara THE END OF LEADERSHIP Harvard University Professor Barbara Kellerman argues that in the 21st century, our fixation on the leader, on the individual rather than on the constellation, is misplaced and misguided. The world is too complex and the forces impinging on it too powerful and too numerous to bestow on leaders, on leadership, great credit, or for that matter full blame. It is misleading even to suggest to students of leadership that by honing in on their own growth and development, they will learn how to be able to lead. What Kellerman argues for is not the end of leadership education and development, or for the demise of the idea that an individual can make a difference. Instead, she proposes a more complex approach to leadership, and, inevitably, to followership, a more sophisticated sense of causality in the 21st century, and a more nuanced understanding of the way the world works. The technology that permeates our lives has an impact on the dynamics of dominance and deference in ways that we are only beginning to intuit. Leadership as we generally conceive of it is a thing of the past—the future of leadership is different. Barbara Kellerman is the James MacGregor Burns Lecturer in Public Leadership at Harvard University's John F. Kennedy School of Government. Kellerman is author and editor of many books including LEADERSHIP: Multidisciplinary Perspectives; THE POLITICAL PRESIDENCY: Practice of Leadership; and REINVENTING LEADERSHIP: Making the Connection Between Politics and Business. She has appeared often on media outlets such as CBS, NBC, PBS, CNN, NPR, Reuters, and BBC, and has contributed articles and reviews to the New York Times, the Washington Post, the Boston Globe, the Los Angeles Times, and the Harvard Business Review. She is on the Advisory Board of the Leadership Research Network, on the Advisory Panel of the White House Leadership Project Report, on the editorial Board of Leadership Quarterly, and on the Publications Committee of the 62

International Leadership Association. She is ranked by Forbes.com as among “Top 50 Business Thinkers” and by Leadership Excellence in top 15 of 100 “best minds on leadership”. HarperBusiness

Knoedelseder, William *BITTER BREW: The Rise and Fall of Anheuser-Busch and America’s Kings of Beer Stretching through three centuries, from the start of the Civil War to today, BITTER BREW tells the astonishing story of how five generations of men—fathers, sons, and brothers—took a small, bankrupt brewery that made bad- tasting bock beer on the banks of the Mississippi and turned it into an international colossus, on the strength of the world’s most popular brand of beer, Budweiser. In the process, the men of the Busch family tasted all that America ever promised to the immigrant class from which they sprang—wealth, political power, public acclaim, and a lifestyle that rivaled those of history’s most extravagant royalty. Along with this came a king-sized portion of heartbreak, scandal, tragedy, and death. In chronicling the Busch way of life and business, veteran journalist William Knoedelseder also tells a broader story of American progress and decline over the last 150 years. At its core, BITTER BREW is a cautionary tale about prosperity, hubris, and loss. William Knoedelseder spent 12 years as an investigative reporter at The Los Angeles Times, where his ground-breaking coverage of the recording industry for the newspaper’s financial section resulted in the critically acclaimed book, STIFFED: The True Story of MCA, the Music Business, and the Mafia. Knoedelseder has also been a television news executive, creating, managing, and producing news programs for Knight Ridder, Disney, FOX, and USA. At the USA network, he was vice president of news. His most recent book, I’M DYING UP HERE, is about the golden age of stand-up comedy in the 1970’s. HarperBusiness

Ford, Arielle WABI SABI LOVE: The Ancient Art of Finding Perfect Love in Imperfect Relationships Love. It’s right up there with air, food, and water as the most necessary of ingredients for existence. And yet, for many people, it’s the hardest thing to find or the hardest thing to hold on to. Here are the sad but true facts: 50% percent of first marriages, 67% of second marriages, and 74% of third marriages end in divorce. While the statistics look grim, there is hope. WABI SABI LOVE offers a new relationship model with a modern-day twist on an ancient concept by shifting the focus from what’s wrong to what’s right. Based on the ancient Japanese aesthetic of finding beauty in imperfection known as “Wabi-Sabi,” WABI SABI LOVE introduces this concept as a new relationship paradigm, one based on the art of loving one’s imperfections rather than the fantasy of perfection. The reader is treated to true stories from happy, successful couples and learns how they came to love and appreciate things we previously thought unacceptable. Readers will discover that much of what “drives them crazy” about their partners is actually quite normal, and once they embrace the Wabi Sabi Way, they’ll discover new ways to communicate and interact with their partners that lead to a deeper and more satisfying connection. For the past 25 years, Arielle Ford has been living, teaching, and promoting consciousness through all forms of media. Her career includes years as a prominent book publicist, author, literary agent, TV lifestyle reporter, television producer, Sirius radio host, publishing consultant, relationship expert, speaker, columnist and blogger for the Huffington Post. Arielle is the author of seven books including the HOT CHOCOLATE FOR THE MYSTICAL SOUL series, and her most recent, THE SOULMATE SECRET, now in a 4th printing and available in 20 languages.

Ford, Debbie *THE COURAGE WITHIN: A Woman's Guide to Overcoming Fear and Igniting Self-Confidence Every day we are confronted with hundreds of choices that either make us feel confident and strong or rob us of the things we desire the most. When we lack confidence, we feel unworthy of having what we want, of speaking our truth, of making decisions that have the ability to change and improve our lives. When we feel weak, helpless, or powerless, we lack the strength to ward off the thoughts of defeat, negativity and fear that fill our minds and prevent us from living the lives we want. For decades, Debbie Ford has been helping people break free from the emotional baggage that has held them hostage and discover profound tools for finding confident and authentic self expression. In THE COURAGE WITHIN, Debbie Ford provides a life-altering journey based on decades of work. By learning to accept all of who we are, including our histories, our flaws, our misgivings, our weaknesses, and our fears, we discover that what keeps us stuck and feeling weak is nothing more than an illusion of the past. By showing us how to be confident, stand in all our strength, and feel great about ourselves, a new self emerges with the power to accomplish anything. By introducing seven guiding principles, Debbie Ford expertly guides readers out of the common pitfalls of fear and insecurity and into the strength, power and freedom of a courage that has been present all along. Debbie Ford is the national bestselling author of SPIRITUAL DIVORCE, THE BEST YEAR OF YOUR LIFE, WHY GOOD PEOPLE DO BAD THINGS, THE 21 DAY CONSCIOUSNESS CLEANSE and the co-author of THE SHADOW EFFECT. She conducts workshops across the country. HarperOne

Hitzmann, Sue THE MELT METHOD: A Breakthrough Self-Treatment System to Combat Chronic Pain, Erase Aging Signs, and Feel Fantastic in Just 10 Minutes a Day! The MELT Method can make you happier, healthier, and pain-free—starting today. It’s a bold statement, but with MELT (Myofascial Energetic Length Technique), creator Sue Hitzmann has harnessed the enormous impact of precise movements that anyone can accomplish, right at home. Using simple equipment like foam rollers and small balls, readers will learn how to stimulate and hydrate the body’s connective tissue, making it more elastic and releasing the body’s long-held tension. It’s like getting all the benefits of a great massage. Hitzmann’s techniques are effective because they don’t address pain—they address the cause of pain (which may not be what you think it is!). Along the way, MELT can also improve posture, aid sleep and digestion, minimize cellulite, and reduce stress and tension. Hitzmann’s own clients have avoided surgery, shed excess body fat, regained flexibility they thought they’d lost forever, and even gone from bad knees to marathon-training. Sue Hitzmann, MS, CST, NMT, is a nationally recognized somatic-movement educator and manual therapist. Her decades of practice, research, and study of anatomical science and alternative therapies have culminated in the creation of the M.E.L.T.

Divided into two categories, “All About You” and “All About the Other Guy,” these strategies offer a personal and interpersonal program that frees you to become better at managing your 68 feelings instead of being dominated by them, managing your motivations, being less judgemental, more productive, more confident, more flexible, more persuasive, liked, and respected.

Junger, Alejandro CLEAN FOR LIFE: The Revolutionary Program to Restore the Body’s Natural Ability to Heal Itself Dr. Junger has shown that the majority of common ailments we all face—from colds to depression, allergies to indigestion, sleeplessness to extra weight—is the direct result of toxic buildup in our bodies. The combination of our standard diet and the chemical filled environments surrounding us has left our bodies compromised and unable to perform their natural healing functions. Typical medical treatments for these health issues address the symptoms for temporary relief but fail to get at the root cause of the problems. CLEAN FOR LIFE attacks the root of the problems and restores our body’s amazing healing powers. The annoying health issues will go away, additional weight will vanish, and we will literally look and feel better than ever before. Unlike the 21 day cleanse, this is no temporary fix. CLEAN FOR LIFE is specifically designed to inform our choices and guide our behaviors every day of the year. Utilizing the best of Western medicine and wellness practices, Dr. Junger explains the scientific realities of living in a chemical world and then helps readers chart their own personal health course, exploding myths and mistaken beliefs along the way. Alejandro Junger, M.D. is a doctor of Internal Medicine and Cardiology in New York City and Los Angeles. He has studied Eastern medicine in India, and was Medical Director of WE Care Holistic Health Center in Palm Springs, a world famous center for fasting, cleansing and detoxification.

Klein, Marty SEXUAL INTELLIGENCE: What We Really Want from Sex—and How to Get It Sex is a complicated topic for most of us. Our hearts, minds, and bodies are not often in sync and even when they are, our partners may be wrestling with their own insecurities and desires. Consequently, it becomes very tough to talk honestly and in a healthy way about sex with the person we love. SEXUAL INTELLIGENCE: What We Really Want from Sex and How To Get It is about how sex can be. Not always glamorous—just enjoyable, comfortable, and emotional satisfying. The book explores how to communicate about sex even while feeling uncomfortable; how people can—and must—accept their preferences and desires while feeling self-conscious; and how to restore (or create) a sense of erotic partnership with their mate. SEXUAL INTELLIGENCE describes our current sexual dilemmas in easy-to-understand language, includes stories from Dr. Klein’s clinical work, shows how the typical ways in which abstract “ideas about sex” are expressed in real sexual problems, and finally, offers suggestions about how readers can overcome these difficulties. Frank, clear, and opinionated, Marty Klein is ready to help readers understand that their familiar way of thinking about sex is just one kind among many, and that an entire world of eroticism can and will open to them—a sexual world beyond erections and orgasms; beyond success and failure. Dr. Marty Klein is a sex therapist and sociologist who has counseled thousands of individuals and couples for over thirty years, working with men and women on issues of guilt, shame, power, as well as orgasm, erection, fantasy, desire, S&M, porn, and sexual orientation. He blogs regularly on Psychology Today and Carnal Nation and has appeared on television numerous times, most recently on ABC’s Good Morning America and Nightline. Klein writes a monthly newsletter, Sexual Intelligence, exploring the intersection of sexuality, culture, politics, and the media, and contributes frequently to websites and publications on the topic of sex and sexual health.

Pratt, George, Ph. D. Lambrou, Peter, Ph. D. CODE TO JOY: The Four-step Solution to Unlocking Your Natural State of Happiness Combining six decades of clinical experience with leading-edge research, two acclaimed leaders in the field of psychology have developed a revolutionary approach to happiness: accessible, practical, yet powerful enough to create a profoundly positive transformation in our lives. Beneath the surface—undiagnosed, untreated and often unspoken—there is a pervasive cloud of unease affecting virtually everyone on the planet; a general malaise. 71

According to Drs. Pratt and Lambrou this “fog of distress” is the result of traumatic events in our past that have left psychological impressions. They’re the reason so many people feel unloved, guilty, ashamed, fearful, and unsafe. It’s the basis of addictions, sleeplessness, bad habits, conflict and unsatisfying relationships. These impressions are so deeply embedded in our psyche on a physiological, emotional and energetic level that we are often not consciously aware of them. The revolutionary techniques of Dr. Pratt and Dr. Lambrou help readers identify the negative “blocking beliefs,” and defuse them in a matter of minutes. Through its practical and proven, four-step program, CODE TO JOY helps eliminate the fears, anxieties, and buried emotional debris that prevent us from living life to the fullest and rediscovering our innate happiness. George Pratt, Ph.D. and Peter Lambrou, Ph.D. are licensed clinical psychologists specializing in mind/body techniques, psychotherapy, hypnotherapy and performance enhancement, through which they have helped a Super Bowl champ, Olympic medalists, professional athletes, top executives and Academy Award and Grammy winners, as well as thousands of individuals from all walks of life.

Shiva, V.A. THE CONNECTION: A Revolutionary Personalized Program for Optimal Health from the Frontiers of Mind-Body Medicine IV.A. Shiva proves the existence of the mind-body connection. As the Human Genome Project proved that we are greater than the sum of our DNA/genes, systems biology and Shiva's work have discovered a living network in the body called fascia planes—these planes are just like the meridians in eastern wisdom—and they transfer energy and information throughout the entire body. Information is transferred through the fascia five times faster than the nervous system. These fascia planes are the essence of the mind-body connection, and is rooted in the ancient eastern siddha practices (face reading—akin to ayurvedic studies) of India, and now grounded by this new research. The program involves a self-diagnosis and places the reader in one of three category types. We will be able to eat, exercise, and live balanced and healthy lives according to our specific type. We will learn how to read our bodies and faces and discover the healing powers that exist within our own bodies. Shiva Ayyadurai, a scientist-technologist, entrepreneur, inventor and educator, is a Fulbright Scholar, Lemelson-MIT Awards Finalist, Westinghouse Science Talent Search award recipient, and inventor of one of the world’s first E-MAIL systems for which he received the first U.S. Copyright on E-MAIL.

The role of the parent is changing dramatically since the dawn of the internet and electronic devices. Kids today tend to postpone the traditional benchmarks of adulthood—careers, marriage, etc., which means their parents might be dealing with them more intimately for a lot longer than they expected. Hilarious and positive, this book is guaranteed to bring relief to panicked and frustrated parents of teenagers everywhere. Harper Paperbacks

RELIGION / SPIRITUALITY

Bass, Diana Butler CHRISTIANITY AFTER RELIGION: The End of Church and the Birth of a New Spiritual Awakening Religious affiliation continues to plummet across the breadth of Christian denominations. Churches that once boasted amazing growth are now flat lining or in decline. And yet, interest in “spirituality” is on the rise. Religion expert Diana Butler Bass offers a fresh interpretation of this transformation and identifies a new spiritual awakening taking place inside and outside the church. Based on new research and a careful reading of history, Butler Bass argues that traditional Christianity has focused on three prescriptions: This is what to believe (theology); This is how to behave (practice); This is who you are (experience and community). However, as people began to question their basic beliefs, disillusionment ensued and Christians began leaving the church. Spirituality, by contrast, works in the reverse: people experience a connection to the divine directly and through community, are moved to change and serve others, and eventually discover what they believe. AFTER RELIGION shows how this new bottom-up approach represents the real mission and message of Jesus and explains the dramatic spiritual awakening we are witnessing today. Diana Butler Bass is the author of six books on American Protestantism, including CHRISTIANITY FOR THE REST OF US and A PEOPLE’S HISTORY OF CHRISTIANITY. She earned her Ph.D. in Church History from Duke University and has served on the faculty at the University of California at Santa Barbara, Rhodes College, and Virginia Theological Seminary.

Bell, Rob *THE LOVE WINS COMPANION: A Study Guide for Those who Want to go Deeper by Rob Bell, Edited by David Vanderveen When pastor and bestselling author Rob Bell published LOVE WINS, it upset many while also changing lives as he questioned who was saved, who was not, and how it all works. Bell dared to question whether hell is forever, and asked if only Christians will go to heaven, igniting a firestorm of praise and backlash across the country. In this book, he takes the traditional study guide format and reinvents it as an opportunity for modeling the kind of conversation and debate the church should be having. In this companion, you will find: insights and commentary by experts—theologians, Bible scholars, scientists, and pastors; deep analysis of all relevant Bible passages on heaven, hell, and salvation; discussion questions for individuals, groups, and classes; and reflections by Bell on the debate he caused and the reaction in churches. Rob Bell is the Founding Pastor of Mars Hill Bible Church in Grand Rapids, Michigan. He is the author of the bestselling VELVET ELVIS, SEX GOD, JESUS WANTS TO SAVE CHRISTIANS, and DROPS LIKE STARS. Bell speaks to sold-out crowds across the world and appeared in a pioneering series of short films called NOOMA.

Borg, Marcus *THE EVOLUTION OF THE WORD: Reading the New Testament in the Order It Was Written Everyone knows the New Testament begins with the Gospel of Matthew, but how many people know that not only was it one of the later books to be written—it was not even the first Gospel! By re-ordering the New Testament books in the sequence of when they were written, Borg provides a wonderful tutorial of how the core ideas of Christianity took shape and developed over time. With introductions and sidebars to each of the books of the Bible, as well as a survey of what we can know about the oral accounts of Jesus that were passed around before the first book was written, Borg reveals how a radical and primitive apocalyptic Jewish faith slowly became more 76 comfortable with the world, less Jewish, and more preoccupied with maintaining power and control. Beginning with Paul’s First Letter to the Thessalonicans, we discover afresh the disproportionate influence of the great apostle to the Gentiles as the first to codify early Christian beliefs into written form. From Paul’s authentic letters and the first dramatic telling of Jesus’ story in Mark, we see how an anti-imperial movement started a religious revolution. But we also witness how the next generation of writers slowly began to erode the movement’s radicalism. Readers will rediscover documents they thought they knew well by seeing them in an all-new setting. Borg’s THE EVOLUTION OF THE WORD promises to change how we think about this historic work. Marcus J. Borg is Hundere Distinguished Professor of Religion and Culture, Emeritus at Oregon State University and author of SPEAKING CHRISTIAN, THE HEART OF CHRISTIANITY, JESUS, and PUTTING AWAY CHILDISH THINGS, among others.

Crossan, John Dominic THE POWER OF PARABLE: How Fiction by Jesus Became Fiction about Jesus One of the main ways Jesus taught people was through the use of parables. Through an exploration of the literary genre popular in the ancient world, distinguished Jesus scholar John Dominic Crossan dissects the versions we read in the Gospels to get back to what Jesus really intended to teach. Next, Crossan reveals how Jesus’s use of parables inspired the Gospel writers themselves to come up with meaningful, metaphorical stories of Jesus to help them explain their own views of who they thought this Messiah really was. By unlocking the meaning and purposes of the Gospel’s parables, we can arrive at a better portrait of this enigmatic and charismatic Jewish figure who transformed his world and the next two thousand years of history. John Dominic Crossan, professor emeritus at De Paul University, is widely regarded as the foremost historical Jesus scholar of our time. He is the author of several bestselling books, including THE HISTORICAL JESUS, JESUS: A REVOLUTIONARY BIOGRAPHY and his latest, THE GREATEST PRAYER. HarperOne

Jenkins, Philip LAYING DOWN THE SWORD: Why We Can't Ignore the Bible's Violent Verses From cable-news pundits to ordinary churches, much of the Western world is clinging to a dangerous dichotomy: Other holy texts like the Qur’an teach warfare, but the Bible’s message is one of love and . As LAYING DOWN THE SWORD brings to light scriptures that have been hidden from view, it’s clear that the truth is far more complex. Jenkins revisits, for example, the beloved psalm that begins “By the rivers of Babylon we sat and wept” and ends by blessing those who would smash the sculls of Babylon’s infants. He reveals that while no passage in the Qur’an advocates suicide terrorism, the Bible could easily be mined to support such an attack. And he points out that on an average Sunday morning, you’ll likely never hear this quote from Matthew’s Gospel, where Jesus says, “Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth; I have not come to bring peace, but a sword.” Religions cannot grow past their bloody origins until they admit to them. Now, Jenkins offers a way to read these troubling texts—to absorb, understand, and freely discuss them—within the context of all that is good and inspiring in our religious traditions. Philip Jenkins, the author of THE LOST HISTORY OF CHRISTIANITY, JESUS WARS, and THE NEXT CHRISTENDOM, has a joint appointment as the Edwin Erle Sparks Professor of the Humanities in history and religious studies at Penn State University and as Distinguished Senior Fellow at the Institute for Studies of Religion at Baylor University.

Martin, James BETWEEN HEAVEN AND MIRTH: Why Joy, Humor, and Laughter Are at the Heart of the Spiritual Life 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. The book will make use of relevant (and overlooked) stories and characters from Scripture (Abraham and Sarah, Zacchaeus, Nathaniel, Eutychus), insights and teachings from the lives of the saints (St. Philip Neri, the “joyful saint,” St. Teresa of Ávila, Blessed John XXIII), the writings of spiritual masters from a variety of traditions, and the author’s own personal experience.

Spong, John Shelby RE-CLAIMING THE BIBLE FOR A NON-RELIGIOUS WORLD For over 200 years, scholars have been debating, analyzing, and exploring one of the most important books ever written—The Bible—and overturning much of what we know about this sacred library of books. However, a large group of people who actually use this book, mainly lay Christians, aren’t aware of this larger, deeper conversation. It is for these people that Spong writes RE-CLAIMING THE BIBLE FOR A NON-RELIGIOUS WORLD, a primer on the history and significance of the Bible. In this informal and accessible survey, Spong will move book by book through the Scriptures, introducing their themes and messages by examining the sweep of history in which these books were originally written. What has history taught us? How should we read these stories today? What does it mean for how we live our lives? And why do people tenaciously hold on to so many myths associated with the Bible? There is a vast audience of religiously hungry people eager to explore a meaningful journey into the Bible, and Spong is leading the way with this book. JOHN SHELBY SPONG was the Episcopal Bishop of Newark before his retirement in 2000. As a visiting lecturer at Harvard and at universities and churches throughout North America and the English-speaking world, he is one of the leading spokespersons for liberal Christianity. His books include ETERNAL LIFE: A NEW VISION, JESUS FOR THE NON RELIGIOUS, SINS OF SCRIPTURE, RESCUING THE BIBLE FROM FUNDAMENTALISM, and his autobiography, HERE I STAND. He has initiated landmark discussions of controversies within the church and has become an outspoken advocate for change. HarperOne

Stark, Rodney TRIUMPH OF CHRISTIANITY: How the Jesus Movement Became the World’s Largest Religion 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. 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. Stark gets right to the events of greatest interest, often turning them on their heads: He argues that Constantine’s conversion did the Church a great deal of harm, for example, and that the majority of converts to early Christianity were women. And he asks the questions at the heart of the human story: What role did Jesus’s family play in the early Church? How was Christianity’s rise influenced by the misery of daily life in Greco-Roman cities? What role did vigorous competition play in the success, and failure, of churches in colonial America? Finally, Stark makes a compelling case that the popular notion that religion must disappear to make room for modernity is amply disproved by the sociological evidence. For scholars and armchair historians alike, THE TRIUMPH OF CHRISTIANITY is a brisk and thought-provoking journey through events we think we know—and need to reconsider. Rodney Stark is the Distinguished Professor of the Social Sciences at Baylor University. His thirty books on the history and sociology of religion include GOD’S BATTALIONS: THE RISE OF CHRISTIANITY; CITIES OF GOD; FOR THE GLORY OF GOD (which won the 2004 Award of Merit for History/Biography from Christianity Today); and DISCOVERING GOD (which won the 2008 Award of Merit for Theology/Ethics from Christianity Today).

Winner, Lauren STILL: Notes on a Mid-Faith Crisis In this sequel to her popular memoir GIRL MEETS GOD, Lauren Winner explores the theme of “abiding” in God, especially when, after her divorce and feelings of failure, “believing” was not as easy as it had once been. “In the Church, we have a long tradition of telling spiritual stories that culminate in conversion, in the narrator’s joining the church, getting dunked in the waters of baptism, getting saved. Here’s a better question than ‘why did you become a Christian.’ ‘Why are you a Christian this morning? Why are you a Christian this week?” After a failed marriage and bored with God talk and Bible reading, the author discovers all the ways she is maintained, held, and even healed by God’s people, God’s church, and spiritual surprises. Winner discovers that much of Christian literature is, essentially, the case for choosing the Christian life. But she found few sources for what she needed: a spirituality of maintenance. And that is what she set out to create. Lauren F. Winner is the author of numerous books, including GIRL MEETS GOD, MUDHOUSE SABBATH, and REAL SEX: The Naked Truth About Chastity. She has appeared on PBS’s Religion & Ethics Newsweekly and has written for The New York Times , The Washington Post Book World, Publishers Weekly, Books and Culture, and Christianity Today.

Wright, N.T. HOW GOD BECAME KING: The Forgotten Story of the Gospels Since ancient times, the church has sought to distance itself from its Jewish roots and has developed teachings on the Bible and about Jesus that actually serve as a barrier for reading the New Testament for what it is: the story of the coronation of God through Jesus at the fulfillment of Jewish history and as the climax of all human history. Award-winning New Testament scholar and Anglican bishop, N.T. Wright peels back the barriers to reveal the lost 80 story they tell. He begins by asking why each gospel starts by connecting back to the Old Testament in a dramatic way, repeatedly making the point that Jesus was the Messiah, God’s chosen one, who is continuing a story that began in Eden. Not only does Wright reveal a new way of looking at what the writers of the New Testament were attempting to reveal, he also lays the groundwork for how this new perspective can transform how we see our role and duties in the world today. N.T. Wright is the former Bishop of Durham in the Church of England and one of the world’s leading Bible scholars. He now serves as the Chair of New Testament and Early Christianity at the University of St. Andrews’s School of Divinity. For twenty years he taught New Testament studies at Cambridge, McGill, and Oxford Universities. Wright is the award-winning author of AFTER YOU BELIEVE, SURPRISED BY HOPE, SIMPLY CHRISTIAN, THE CHALLENGE OF JESUS, THE MEANING OF JESUS, as well as the much heralded series Christian Origins and The Question of God.

Goldberger, Sacha *MAMIKA: My Great Little Grandmother Meet the most adorable super-hero out there today; a 92-year-old Hungarian grandmother known to her fans as “Mamika”! The concept for Mamika began when French photographer Sacha Goldberger and his grandmother, the amazing Frederika, decided to create the character of Mamika (“little grandmother” in Hungarian). Many disguises, geriatric stunts, jokes, and crazy photo shoots later, Mamika became an internet sensation, with magazines around the world writing about her. The Atlantic named her “Face of the Year 2010.” Frederika Goldberger has had an adventurous life: during World War II in Hungary she saved the lives of her fellow Jewish friends. After the war, she set up her own textile firm, then in the fifties fled the Communist regime to live in France. After her fourth husband died, Frederika started to feel lonely and depressed. To raise her spirits, her grandson Sacha, asked her to be his model and turned her into “Super-Mamika.” Frederika agreed, reluctantly at first, but once they got rolling, she posed with the utmost enthusiasm. In MAMIKA, she can be seen in the streets of New York wearing a superhero costume, holding her Yorkshire terrier as she washes windows, or using a dildo as a telephone. Her depression has lifted, as will the mood of those who read this hilarious book. The photographs are humorous and charming, but they also represent a touching link between two generations.

Carmellini, Alex AMERICAN FLAVOR Andrew Carmellini, the James Beard Award-winning author of Urban Italian and the chef-owner of Locanda Verde, takes readers on a wonderfully rich and diverse tour through the ingredients and cuisines that constitute American flavor.

AMERICAN FLAVOR includes dishes inflected with his French and Italian training, but also explores the diverse heritage of American food, from Poland to Japan, Ireland to Thailand, Mexico to Morocco. Each recipe reflects Carmellini’s fresh, laid-back style, his Midwestern roots, his big-city palate, and his emphasis on great ingredients and intensely flavorful (and international!) combinations.
