Beginning Nov. 1, Macmillan Publishers Will Limit Libraries to a Single Purchased Copy of a New Ebook Title Per Library System What’s going on? Beginning Nov. 1, Macmillan Publishers will limit libraries to a single purchased copy of a new ebook title per library system. This embargo is being imposed for an eight week period, at which point libraries can purchase additional copies. Your ability to access these new Macmillan ebook titles for free from Kitsap Regional Library will be impacted; hold times will most likely increase and will not be consistent with your experience with the rest of our collection. We apologize for this impact to service and make a commitment to you, our patrons, that we will do our very best to adjust and limit the negative impact it will have on you. Why is this happening? In a July 25 memo to authors, illustrators and agents, Macmillan Publishers stated that they believe library lending has had a negative impact on sales. After testing an embargo period with one of their publishers, Macmillan decided to apply this new process to all ebooks published by imprints that fall under the Macmillan Publishing corporation. In fulfillment of its role to offer equal and open access to information, ebooks have played a critical role in the library’s ability to serve all communities, especially patrons with visual and other disabilities. Because of this, the American Library Association has launched the campaign #eBooksForAll, urging Macmillan to reconsider. For more information, visit ebooksforall.org. How does this impact your service? In 2018, we purchased 572 unique titles from Macmillan Publishers, and in 2019, Macmillan titles have made up approximately 11% of our ebook collection. Upon a titles release, the Library will be allowed to purchase one copy to serve our nine locations. After an eight week embargo period, the publisher will allow the library to purchase additional ebook copies. For Macmillan titles that have been selected for our collection, the Library will purchase one copy during the embargo period. At the end of the eight week period, the Library will assess the demand for each title and purchase additional copies as needed. Patrons should be advised that we anticipate this will create longer hold times for these titles. What about print copies and audiobooks? Currently, print materials, audiobooks and downloadable audiobooks published by Mcmillan are unaffected by this change. How will I know if an ebook I am interested in checking out is part of the embargo? As you search through our collection on the Overdrive platform, you will notice that titles in the ebook collection included in the embargo will have a statement indicating this. This notice will not appear if you are looking for titles in the library catalog. Below, is a list of publishers and imprints that are part of Macmillan Publishers and will be impacted.

  • August 1, 2019 Mr. John Sargent, Chief Executive Officer Macmillan Publishers 120 Broadway Street New York, NY 10271
    50 E. Huron, Chicago, IL 60611 August 1, 2019 Mr. John Sargent, Chief Executive Officer Macmillan Publishers 120 Broadway Street New York, NY 10271 Dear Mr. Sargent, On behalf of the 9,000 members of the Public Library Association (PLA), our nation’s largest association for public library professionals, we are writing to object to and ask Macmillan Publishers to reconsider its plan to embargo new eBook titles for U.S. public libraries starting November 1. Under this new model, we understand a public library may purchase only a single copy of each new title in eBook format upon release, after which Macmillan will impose an eight-week embargo on additional eBook sales of that title. To public libraries and the millions of people who rely on them every day, Macmillan’s new policy is patently unacceptable. The central mission of libraries is to ensure equitable access to information for all people, regardless of format. Macmillan’s new eBook lending policy will limit access to new titles by the readers who depend most on libraries. In a recent interview, you likened this embargo to delaying release of paperback titles to maximize hardcover sales, but in that case public libraries are able to purchase and lend the books at the same time our readers are seeking them. Access to eBooks through public libraries should not be denied or delayed. PLA and its parent organization the American Library Association, will explore all possible avenues to ensure that libraries can do our jobs of providing access to information for all, without arbitrary limitations that undermine libraries’ ability to serve our communities.

Schade, Ph.D. ii Abstract In my dissertation “Atomic Apocalypse – ‘Nuclear Fiction’ in German Literature and Culture,” I investigate the portrayal of the nuclear age and its most dreaded fantasy, the nuclear apocalypse, in German fictionalizations and cultural writings. My selection contains texts of disparate natures and provenance: about fifty plays, novels, audio plays, treatises, narratives, films from 1946 to 2009. I regard these texts as a genre of their own and attempt a description of the various elements that tie them together. The fascination with the end of the world that high and popular culture have developed after 9/11 partially originated from the tradition of nuclear fiction since 1945. The Cold War has produced strong and lasting apocalyptic images in German culture that reject the traditional biblical apocalypse and that draw up a new worldview. In particular, German nuclear fiction sees the atomic apocalypse as another step towards the technical facilitation of genocide, preceded by the Jewish Holocaust with its gas chambers and ovens.

  • Don Weisberg Appointed President of Macmillan Publishers U.S
    DON WEISBERG APPOINTED PRESIDENT OF MACMILLAN PUBLISHERS U.S. Macmillan announces today the appointment of Don Weisberg as President of Macmillan Publishers US. In this role, Weisberg will manage the U.S. trade publishing houses of Macmillan, the audio and podcast businesses, and the trade sales organization. He will report to Macmillan CEO John Sargent. The appointment will have no effect on the reporting responsibilities of Andrew Weber, Macmillan's COO, or Ken Michaels, the CEO of Macmillan Learning, who continue to report to Sargent. Weisberg will join Macmillan at the beginning of January 2016. Sargent stated, "Macmillan Publishers has grown significantly over the past years, and the publishing business continues to increase in complexity. Our business in the United States has expanded greatly even as we have become more integrated globally. As my role has changed, it is clear that the U.S. business needs a dedicated senior executive to lead our publishing efforts. I am delighted to welcome Don Weisberg to Macmillan. Don has a remarkable track record of success across many aspects of the publishing business, and his unique combination of skills and management style are a perfect fit for our organization. Don is smart and experienced. He has proven to be great leader with a true passion for books and the book business. He will bring tremendous focus and energy to our publishing, to the great benefit of our company and our authors." Weisberg said, "As difficult as it will be to leave my team and authors at Penguin Young Readers, I am greatly looking forward to working with the group at Macmillan that I have always admired from afar.

  • Tor Teen Acquires Ya Contemporary Fantasy Trilogy from Debut Black Author, Terry J
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Media Contact: Saraciea Fennell, Publicity Manager, Tor Teen [email protected] TOR TEEN ACQUIRES YA CONTEMPORARY FANTASY TRILOGY FROM DEBUT BLACK AUTHOR, TERRY J. BENTON IN MID-SIX FIGURE DEAL NEW YORK, NY (December 3, 2020)—Tor Teen, the publisher of A Song Below Water and The Witchlands series, has acquired, in a major deal, Blood Debts, a YA contemporary fantasy trilogy by Terry J. Benton, pitched as “Dynasty with magic” set to publish in Winter 2023. The book follows two Black twins, sixteen year-old Clem and Cristina, who must put aside their differences and reunite their fractured family in order to take back the New Orleans magic council their family used to rule—all while solving a decades-old murder that sparked the rising tensions between the city’s magical and non-magical communities, before it leads to an all-out war. Tor Teen Senior Editor Ali Fisher said, “Reading Blood Debts was like binge-watching my new favorite show. I gasped, I laughed, I completely fell in love. Benton is a powerhouse new voice in YA fantasy and the relationship between race, magic, and power is fresh and observant. I was on the edge of my seat to see who'd claim the throne!” Benton's agent, Patrice Caldwell, praises the hole the book fills in the market: “I can’t think of the last YA contemporary fantasy I’ve read written by a gay, Black man, centering a gay, Black boy. I can’t wait for this book to be out in the world!” Patrice Caldwell at New Leaf Literary & Media negotiated the three book deal for North American rights.

  • OHIO GOVERNOR JOHN KASICH to PUBLISH NEW BOOK TWO PATHS: AMERICA DIVIDED OR UNITED Published by Thomas Dunne Books/St. Martin’S Press on April 25, 2017
    OHIO GOVERNOR JOHN KASICH TO PUBLISH NEW BOOK TWO PATHS: AMERICA DIVIDED OR UNITED Published by Thomas Dunne Books/St. Martin’s Press on April 25, 2017 NEW YORK, NY – Tuesday, January 31, 2017 – It was announced today that Ohio Governor John Kasich will publish a new book entitled TWO PATHS: America Divided or United with the Thomas Dunne Books imprint of St. Martin’s Press on April 25, 2017. World publishing rights were acquired by Thomas Dunne, with Stephen S. Power editing, from Jenny Bent at The Bent Agency, who represented the author. The book will be available in hardcover, ebook, and audio (read by the author). As the last traditional Republican standing in the 2016 Presidential race, Governor John Kasich was the only candidate who was once a Fox News host and endorsed by The New York Times. Kasich distinguished himself by remaining above the fray as the campaign rhetoric and coverage reached unprecedented new lows, witnessing first-hand how “the tone and tenor of our political discourse has become deeply troubling – and hardly Presidential.” Kasich’s goal in writing the book is to consider how these strange times have come about, and how to set things right. In TWO PATHS, Kasich recounts his political career, how faith guides his personal and political life, and considers lessons from the historic Presidential campaign. He takes aim at news media bias and the constant race for ratings, gerrymandering and redrawing of voting districts, ramifications of living in a post-truth environment, the proliferation of “fake news,” and the danger of political leaders telling constituents only what they want to hear whether it’s true or not.

  • Metaanalysis of Psychoanalysis
    Metaanalysis of psychoanalysis by Dr. Andrej Poleev Print edition 2019 Известно, что целые рассуждения проходят иногда в наших головах мгновенно, в виде каких-то ощущений, без перевода на человеческий язык, тем более на литературный. Но мы постараемся перевесть все эти ощущения ... и представить читателю хотя бы только сущность этих ощущений, так сказать то, что было в них самое необходимое и правдоподобное. Потому что ведь многие из ощущений наших, в переводе на обыкновенный язык, покажутся совершенно неправдоподобными. Вот почему они никогда и на свет не являются, а у всякого есть. Ф.М. Достоевский. Скверный анекдот (1862). 2 Mehr als 100 Jahre nach der Begründung der Psychoanalyse erscheint es als eine notwendige, aber keinesfalls überfällige Aufgabe, diesen Wissenszweig, unter Einbeziehung neuester wissenschaftlicher Erkenntnisse, einer kritischen Betrachtung zu unterziehen, dennoch nicht, um die Psychoanalyse samt allen, von ihr erbrachten Erkenntnissen und Methoden zu entwerten, sondern um die Gesamtheit des von Sigismund Freud errichteten Gebäude zu aktualisieren, d.h. auf dem neusten Stand des Wissens zu bringen, und in diesem Wissen neu zu positionieren. Als selbstverständliche Voraussetzung der Renovierungsarbeit, die an einem alten Gebäude vorgenommen wird, gilt die Berücksichtigung des Vorhabens seines ursprünglichen Architekten. Sicherlich, haben an diesem Gebäude viele andere Personen mitgewirkt, dennoch oft nicht als seine Mitschöpfer sondern als mehr oder weniger willkommene oder eben unerwünschte Bewohner. Im Laufe der

  • The Book and Printed Culture of Mathematics in England and Canada, 1830-1930
    Paper Index of the Mind: The Book and Printed Culture of Mathematics in England and Canada, 1830-1930 by Sylvia M. Nickerson A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Institute for the History and Philosophy of Science and Technology University of Toronto © Copyright by Sylvia M. Nickerson 2014 Paper Index of the Mind: The Book and Printed Culture of Mathematics in England and Canada, 1830-1930 Sylvia M. Nickerson Doctor of Philosophy Institute for the History and Philosophy of Science and Technology University of Toronto 2014 Abstract This thesis demonstrates how the book industry shaped knowledge formation by mediating the selection, expression, marketing, distribution and commercialization of mathematical knowledge. It examines how the medium of print and the practices of book production affected the development of mathematical culture in England and Canada during the nineteenth and early twentieth century. Chapter one introduces the field of book history, and discusses how questions and methods arising from this inquiry might be applied to the history of mathematics. Chapter two looks at how nineteenth century printing technologies were used to reproduce mathematics. Mathematical expressions were more difficult and expensive to produce using moveable type than other forms of content; engraved diagrams required close collaboration between author, publisher and engraver. Chapter three examines how editorial decision-making differed at book publishers compared to mathematical journals and general science journals. Each medium followed different editorial processes and applied distinct criteria in decision-making about what to publish. ii Daniel MacAlister, Macmillan and Company’s reader of science, reviewed mathematical manuscripts submitted to the company and influenced which ones would be published as books.
