Bjarnason, Egill HOW ICELAND CHANGED THE WORLD: The Big History of a Small Island History | Penguin Trade Paperback Original | May 2021 | UK Rights Agent: Michelle Tessler @ Tessler Literary Agency | Editor: Patrick Nolan Status: manuscript available in November 2020

The history of Iceland began 1200 years ago, when a frustrated Viking captain and his useless navigator ran aground in the middle of the North Atlantic. Suddenly, the island was no longer just a layover for the Arctic tern. Instead, it became a nation whose diplomats and musicians, sailors and soldiers, volcanoes and flower, quietly altered the globe forever. HOW ICELAND CHANGED THE WORLD takes readers on a tour of history, showing them how Iceland played a pivotal role in events as diverse as the French Revolution, the Moon Landing, and the foundation of Israel. Again and again, one humble nation has found itself at the frontline of historic events, shaping the world as we know it.

Cukier, Kenneth, Viktor Mayer-Schoenberger & Francis de Vericourt FRAMERS: How Humans Can Thrive in the Age of the Machine Psychology/Business | Dutton Hardcover | May 2021 | Translation Rights Agent: Lisa Adams @ The Garamond Agency | Editor: Stephen Morrow Status: manuscript available in December 2020

FRAMERS is an investigation of both the limits of data-driven intelligence and the irreplaceable ability that has enabled Homo Sapiens’ most enduring platforms of prosperity and happiness—the ability to frame. Frames are mental models of the world that we use to understand problems, and to come up with new or refined solutions. As a tool, framing has always been with us and now that computers have become better at cognitive tasks like reasoning and memory, framing stands out as a critical function—one that matters more than ever because it can’t be handed off to the machines. FRAMERS shows how framing will not just be a way to improve how we make decisions in the era of algorithms, but will be a matter of survival for humanity in the coming age of machine prosperity.

MEMOIR

Feldman, Deborah EXODUS – Revised and Expanded Edition Memoir| Dutton Trade Paperback | August 2021 | UK & Translation Rights (except German) Agent: Markus Hoffman @ Regal Hoffman & Associates | Editor: Maya Ziv Status: manuscript available in November 2020

In 2009, at the age of twenty-three, Deborah Feldman packed up her young son and their few possessions and walked away from her insular Hasidic roots. She was determined to forge a bettr life for herself, away from the rampant oppression, abuse, and isolation of her Satmar upbringing in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Out of her experience came the incendiary bestselling memoir Unorthodox (Simon & Schuster, 2012), followed by EXODUS, which explores Feldman’s triumphant journey of self-discovery and examines the mysterious bonds that tie us to family and religion, the bonds that we must sometimes break to become our true selves.

Deborah Feldman was raised in the Satmar Hasidic community in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Her first memoir, Unorthodox, was a New York Times bestseller and the basis for the Netflix docuseries by the same name.

Andrew, Mari MY INNER SKY: On Embracing Day, Night, and All the Times in Between Illustrated Self-Help| Penguin Paper-Over-Board | March 2021 | Translation Rights Agent: Cindy Uh @ Thompson Literary | Editor: Meg Leder Status: designed manuscript available

In her first book Am I There Yet? (Clarkson Potter, 2018), New York Times bestselling author Mari Andrew explored the journey to adulthood. Now in MY INNER SKY, she writes for those of us who have done the work to become the person we want to be, but find our identities shaken by the challenges of life. Andrew offers poignant insights through stories and illustrations, both honest and uplifting, about her first brush with depression and post-trauma and recovery, to reflection on the meaning of home and why sometimes you have to put yourself in the path of magic. A whole, beautiful life is only made possible by the wide spectrum of feelings that exist between joy and sorrow. In essays divided into the phases of the sky— twilight, golden hour, night, and dawn—MY INNER SKY empowers us to transform everything that’s happened to us into something meaningful.

Doughty, Todd LITTLE PIECES OF HOPE Self-Help | Penguin Trade Paperback | October 2021 | UK & Translation Rights Agent: Brettne Bloom @ The Book Group | Editor: Meg Leder Status: manuscript available in December 2020

For the past few months, ever since this fever dream of a time began, Todd Doughty has written a daily list of things that make him happy, everything from Michelangelo’s Pieta to Patti LaBelle’s Sweet Potato pie, and posted it on his Instagram feed, accompanied by his own photography. In posts that are beautifully written, nuanced, vivid, and lyrical, he evokes a pain of longing and recognition and joy and provides a reprieve from the sameness of the days.

The book is a celebration of the life that is waiting for us on the other side.

Todd Doughty is the Deputy Publisher at Doubleday. For the duration of the Covid-19 pandemic, he has written lists of things that make him happy. While he initially planned to make 52 lists, one for every week of the year, he fell into a groove and has now written almost 70.

Ticktin, Allie PLAY TO PROGRESS Parenting/Child Psychology | TarcherPerigee Hardcover | July 2021 | UK & Translation Rights Agent: Karen Murgolo @ Aevitas Creative Management | Editor: Nina Shield Status: manuscript available in January 2021

For a child to develop to their fullest potential, their sensory system—that, in addition to the big five of sight, hearing, taste, touch, and smell, includes movement and balance, body awareness, and internal perception—needs to be stimulated from the time they are born. Their senses flourish when they touch new textures, explore their food, run outside, build block towers, and physically play, but never through screens, a major concern in today’s world. In PLAY TO PROGRESS, Allie Ticktin discusses the eight sensory systems, and how a child uses them, and offers easy, fun activities that will encourage their development so that they will better be able to respond to their emotions, build friendships, communicate their needs, and thrive in school.

Allie Ticktin is a licensed occupational therapist with a specialty in sensory integration and early childhood development, and the founder of Play 2 Progress. Dr. Ticktin is certified in Sensory Integration (SIPT) and has received advanced continuing education in Neuronet Learning, Neuro-developmental treatment, DIR Floortime, and Beckman Oral Motor.
