Or touring Europe and Australia in a punk rock band, and finding shelter each night by reaching out to strangers on Twitter. For Amanda Palmer, these actions have gone beyond satisfying her basic needs for food and shelter—they've been a way to turn these strangers into friends, build communities, and discover her own giving impulses. In THE ART OF ASKING, Palmer expands upon her popular TED talk to outline how ordinary people—people without 875,000 Twitter followers and adoring fans—can use these same principles in their own lives. Pithy, but sincere, THE ART OF ASKING has the power to launch the movement Palmer has begun, and the potential to become a perennial book for creative people.

Potter, Maximilian
SHADOWS IN THE VINEYARD Twelve, July 2014 When Maximilian Potter went to Burgundy to report for Vanity Fair on a crime that could have destroyed the Domaine de la Romanée Conti (a tiny vineyard that produces the most exquisite wines in the world) he soon found a story that was more thrilling, than he had originally imagined. In January 2010, Aubert de Villaine, the proprietor of the DRC, received an anonymous note threatening the destruction of his vines by poison unless he paid a one million euro ransom. Villaine believed it to be a joke, but that proved a fatal miscalculation; the crime was committed. The sinister story that Potter uncovered would lead to a sting operation by top Paris detectives, the primary suspect's suicide, and a dramatic trial. Like Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil, this takes us deep into a world full of fascinating characters and a local culture defined by the twinned veins of excess and vitality and the deep reverent attention to the land that run through it. Maximilian Potter is the executive editor of 5280: Denver's Magazine.

17 Schnayerson, Michael THE CONTENDER: A Biography of New York Governor Andrew Cuomo Twelve, November 2014 Andrew Cuomo is the protagonist of an ongoing political saga that reads like a novel, and more than justifies the precocious biography that Michael Shnayerson has crafted. In many ways, Cuomo’s rise, fall, and subsequent ascent map out an iconic story: a young American politician of vaunting ambition, aiming for nothing less than the presidency. Cuomo set out to create a political dynasty, failed in 2002, then bounced back in 2010 with the strategic savvy reminiscent of President Lyndon B. Johnson. Though overshadowed right now by Hillary Clinton on the path to the Democratic nomination for president in 2016, he remains one of the country's most potent and impressive political leaders, about whom pundits tend to agree that the White House for Cuomo is not a question of “if,” but “when.”
