oger Ebert has been reviewing films for the Chicago Sun- RTimes since 1967.

He also provides details about his colorful newspaper friends, his friendships with Oprah Winfrey, Studs Terkel, and others, insights into numerous movie stars, and his perspective on such influential directors as Ingmar Bergman, Martin Scorsese, MARKETING & PROMOTION and Werner Herzog. • Print advertising in New York Times Book Review, Chicago Sun-Times IMPORTANT NOTES • Online advertising • Hachette Audio plans to take special care in choosing a reader for • Theater advertising this audiobook, looking to the family and friends of Roger Ebert for the perfect voice to tell his story. • National media campaign • This audiobook will include an exclusive interview with the author. • Events in New York and Chicago • Roger Ebert’s reviews are syndicated in some 200 newspapers • National print and online media campaign around the world.

arol Brady, the character Florence Henderson played on Cthe perennially popular sitcom The Brady Bunch, was the perfect mother—the kind of mother Henderson always wished that she herself had had. Henderson’s background could not have been more unlike the innocent suburban idyll The Brady Bunch portrayed. Raised by an abusive, alcoholic father after her mother fled home when she was just 12, Henderson sustained the hope that she would somehow, someday escape her harsh and impoverished Midwestern upbringing. Help came in the form of her best friend’s parents, who, recognizing Henderson’s talent, sent her to New York to study acting.

he first new book of essays by Christopher Hitchens since T2004, Arguably offers an indispensable key to understanding the passionate and skeptical spirit of one of our most dazzling writers, widely admired for the clarity of his style, a result of his disciplined and candid thinking. Topics range from ruminations on why Charles Dickens was among the best of writers and the worst of men to the haunting science fiction of J.G. Ballard; from the enduring legacies of Thomas Jefferson and George Orwell to the persistent agonies of anti-Semitism and jihad. Hitchens even looks at the recent financial crisis and argues for the enduring relevance of Karl Marx. The audiobook forms a bridge between the two parallel enterprises of culture and politics. It reveals how politics justifies itself by culture, and how the latter prompts the former.

RETURN TO TABLE OF CONTENTS The Outlaw Album Stories Daniel Woodrell

The author of the celebrated novel Winter’s Bone—which became an Academy Award® nominated film—brings us 12 timeless tales of those on the fringes of society.

aniel Woodrell is able to lend uncanny logic to harsh, even Dcriminal behavior in his wrenching first collection of short fiction. Desperation—both material and psychological—motivates his characters. A husband cruelly avenges the murder of his wife’s pet; an injured rapist is cared for by a young girl, until she reaches her breaking point; and a disturbed veteran of Iraq is murdered for his erratic behavior. There is also the tenderness and loyalty of the vulnerable in these stories—between spouses, parents and children, siblings, and comrades in arms—which brings the troubled, sorely tested cast of characters to vivid, relatable life. And, as ever, “the music coming from Woodrell’s banjo cannot be confused with the sounds of any other writer” (Donald Harington, Atlanta Journal-Constitution).

ayat Shah was captivated by Mina long before he met her: Hhis mother’s beautiful, brilliant, and soulfully devout friend is a family legend. When he learns that Mina is leaving Pakistan to live with the Shahs in America, Hayat is thrilled. Hayat’s father is less enthusiastic. He left the fundamentalist world behind with reason.

Bestselling author Ravi Zacharias investigates recent attempts to reinvent and reinterpret the person and teachings of Jesus by popular culture. Who was Jesus, really? Recent decades have seen a multitude of attempts to redefine, reinterpret, and reinvent the person of Jesus Christ and the meaning of Christianity.

In this new audiobook, bestselling author and radio evangelist Ravi Zacharias analyzes the “spiritual” movements of the past 40 years, debunking their claims and returning the listener to the classic, biblical definition of Jesus’ person, work, and teaching.
