NEW HARDCOVERS SAVING SIN CITY William Travers Jerome, Stanford White, and the Original Crime of the Century MARY CUMMINGS

An operatic story of jealousy, obsession, vast fortunes, and moral crusaders set against the glittering backdrop of Gilded Age New York City.

The murder of one of the era’s most famous architects, Stan- ford White, whose mark on New York City is second to none, became the “Crime of the Century.” His murder in 1906 by Harry K. Thaw has become an indelible part of popular culture through books like E. L. Doctorow’s Ragtime and films like The Girl on the Red Velvet Swing. But there were other players in this sordid love triangle gone wrong that would play a part in the incredible acquittal of White’s murderer, namely the ambitious district attorney William Travers Jerome, who wrecked his career on the rocks of his failed prosecution of Thaw. Award-winning journalist Mary Cumming reveals a new angle to this incredible crime through Jerome’s story, ripe for the post-Serial era. Thaw was the debauched and slightly deranged heir to a Pittsburgh fortune. White was an artistic genius and one of the world’s premier architects—and nearly as wealthy as Thaw. They both became obsessed with a sixteen-year-old chorus girl, Evelyn Nesbit, and their jealousies would explode in White’s shocking murder—and the even more shocking acquittal of Thaw for a crime committed in front of dozens of eye witnesses. Filled with mesmerizing drama, rich period details, and fascinating characters, Saving Sin City sheds fresh light on a crime whose impact still echoes throughout society.

2 RISING STAR, SETTING SUN The Departure of Ike, the Arrival of J.F.K., and the Continuing Battle for America’s Future JONATHAN SHAW

A monumental new history reveals how the transition of power from Eisenhower to Kennedy marked more than a succession of presidents—it was the culmination of a generational shift in American politics, policy, and culture.

Praise for J.F.K. in the Senate:

“Shaw’s account deftly balances anecdote and analysis, making this a valuable read for those interested in both J.F.K. the pol and J.F.K. the person.” —Publishers Weekly (starred)

“A captivating account of Kennedy’s often overlooked formative years in the Senate. A fascinating read.” —Senator Robert Casey of Pennsylvania

After winning the presidency by a razor-thin victory on November 8, 1960 over Richard Nixon, Dwight D. Eisenhower’s former vice president, John F. Kennedy became the thirty-fifth president of the United States. But beneath the stately veneers of both Ike and J.F.K., there was a complex and consequential rivalry. In Rising Star, Setting Sun, Jonathan Shaw focuses on the intense ten-week transition between J.F.K.’s electoral victory and his inauguration on January 20, 1961. In just over two months, America would transition into a new age, and nowhere was it more marked that in the generational and personal difference between these two men and their dueling visions for the country they led. The former general espoused frugality, prudence, and stewardship. The young political wünderkid embodied dramatic themes and sweeping social change. $29.95 U.S. | $39.95 CAN. | £23.99 Extensively researched and eloquently written, Johnathan Hardcover Shaw paints a vivid picture of what Time called a “turning point Territory: World English (W) in the twentieth century” as Americans today find themselves ISBN: 978-1-68177-732-0 poised on the cusp of another watershed moment in our nation’s 6 x 9 | 336 pages | CQ 24 history. 8 pages of B&W illustrations History May Johnathan Shaw is the author of four previous books, including most recently J.F.K. in the Senate: A Pathway to the Presidency.

For a twenty-one-year old, there is no summer job better than being a seasonaire— no responsibilities, school is months away, and you’re surrounded by chic, beautiful people. Intoxicating and seemingly carefree, what could possibly go wrong?

“Splashing in the waves, sipping champagne on yachts, having sunset dinner parties right on the beach: a Seasonaire’s life is like a catalog shoot come to life.” —The New York Times

Lyndon Wyld, the chic British tigress who owns the epony- mous business, rules their daily life by curating their every move, which they are obligated to post on social media for throngs of followers.

4 AN AMERICAN QUILT Unfolding a Story of Family and Slavery RACHEL MAY

Following the trail left by an unfinished quilt, this illuminating saga examines slavery from the cotton fields of the South to the textile mills of New England—and the humanity behind it.

Praise for Quilting with a Modern Slant:

“Marvelous. May captures the viewpoints and opinions of the creators who have made modern quilting into an enduring form of expression. Belongs in all quilting collections.” —Library Journal (starred)

“May serves as an enthusiastic introducer, teacher, and cheer- leader.” —Publishers Weekly

When we think of slavery, most of us think of the American South. We think of back-breaking fieldwork on plantations. We don’t think of slavery in the North, nor do we think of the grueling labor of urban and domestic slaves. Rachel May’s rich new book explores the far reach of slavery, from New England to the Caribbean, the role it played in the growth of mercantile America, and the unbreakable bonds between the agrarian south and the industrial north in the antebellum era—all through the discovery of a remarkable quilt. While studying objects in a textile collection, May opened a veritable treasure-trove: a carefully folded, unfinished quilt made of 1830s–era fabrics, its backing containing fragile, aged papers with the dates 1798, 1808, and 1813, the words “shuger,” “rum,” “casks,” and “West Indies,” repeated over and over, along with “friendship,” “kindness,” “government,” and “incident.” $27.95 U.S. | $36.95 CAN. | £21.99 The quilt top sent her on a journey to piece together the story Hardcover of Minerva, Eliza, Jane, and Juba—the enslaved women behind Territory: World, All Languages (W) the quilt—and their owner, Susan Crouch.

THE TRAGEDY OF BENEDICT ARNOLD An American Life JOYCE LEE MALCOLM

A vivid and timely re-examination of one of young America’s most complicated figures: the war hero turned infamous traitor, Benedict Arnold.

Praise for Joyce Lee Malcom:

“Malcolm makes a forceful case, clearly and fairly.” —The Wall Street Journal

“A work of genuine excellence, as persuasive in its argument as it is unsettling in its implications. Malcolm’s prose is both vigorous and elegant.” —American Historical Review

“In clear, engaging language, Malcolm reconstructs the surroundings, relationships and political atmosphere of the Revolution. A vivid addition to Revolutionary War literature.” —Kirkus Reviews

Proud and talented, history now remembers this conflicted man solely through the lens of his last desperate act of treason. Yet the fall of Benedict Arnold remains one of the Revolutionary period’s great puzzles. Why did a brilliant military commander, who repeatedly risked his life fighting the British, who was grievously injured in the line of duty, and fell into debt personally funding his own troops, ultimately became a traitor to the patriot cause? Historian Joyce Lee Malcolm skillfully unravels the man behind the myth and gives us a portrait of the true Arnold and his world. There was his dramatic victory against the British at Saratoga in 1777 and his troubled childhood in a pre-revolutionary America beset with class tension and economic instability. We witness his brilliant wartime military exploits and learn of his contentious relationship with a newly formed and fractious Congress, fearful of powerful military leaders, like Arnold, who could threaten the nation’s fragile democracy. Throughout, Malcolm weaves in portraits of Arnold’s great allies—George Washington, General Schuyler, his beautiful and beloved wife Peggy Shippen, and others—as well as his unrelenting enemy John Adams, British Gen- eral Clinton, and master spy John André. Thrilling and thought-provoking, The Tragedy of Benedict Arnold sheds new light on a man—as well on the nuanced and complicated time in which he lived.

Joyce Lee Malcolm is a professor at George Mason University School of Law. She is the author of Guns and Violence; Peter’s War; and To Keep and Bear Arms. She lives in Alexandria, Virginia.

A smart and compelling examination of the science of immunity, the public policy implications of vaccine denial, and the real-world outcomes of failing to vaccinate.

Praise for A Prescription for Change:

“Well explained and illustrated with useful anecdotes.” —Science Magazine

“Provides a brilliant, revealing, commonsense, and well-written answer to a timely and essential question.” —Dr. Richard N. Foster, Chair, National Academies of Science, Engineering, and Medicine

“A cogent and comprehensive view of where the drug industry is today and how it got there.” —Health Affairs

If you have a child in school, you may have heard stories of long-dormant diseases suddenly reappearing—cases of measles, mumps, rubella, and whooping cough cropping up everywhere from elementary schools to Ivy League universities because a select group of parents refuse to vaccinate their children. Between Hope and Fear tells the remarkable story of vaccine- preventable infectious diseases and their social and political implications. While detailing the history of vaccine invention, Kinch reveals the ominous reality that our victories against vaccine-preventable diseases are not permanent—and could easily be undone.

8 EUROPA How Europe Shaped the Modern World

JULIO M acLENNAN

An original and innovative examination of the continent—and its culture— that was the epicenter of the world for almost five centuries.

European history is deeply embedded in the global civilization that has emerged in the twenty-first century. More than two thirds of today’s nations were once European colonies or protectorates. Europe’s legacy is evident in the trajectory of the United States and has influenced aspiring hegemonic powers like China. For centuries, Europe was the heart and soul of the West, and European powers enjoyed unprecedented global hegemony, not only by military and economic means, but also through their influence on politics and culture. The rise and fall of the European era of world supremacy con- stitutes one of the most epic histories of all time. There were the extraordinary changes of the Renaissance and its aftermath, which marked the beginning of Europe’s imposition of itself over other civilizations, but it was Columbus’s “discovery” of America that provided the key to its meteoric rise. Spain and Portugal would form the first global empires, closely followed by Holland, Britain, France, and Russia. Following the exploits of navigators like Vasco da Gama and Captain Cook, the conquistador Hernan Cortes, missionary Henry Livingstone, and others, Europa reveals the origins of Europe’s rapid expansion, which was then expanded upon further by millions of European migrants, who spread their culture and values. MacLennan also reveals how statesmen, scientists, inventors, philosophers, writers, and revolutionaries were responsible for transforming the continent into a civiliza- $27.95 U.S. | $36.95 CAN. | £21.99 Hardcover tion that inspired universal attraction.

RISING IN FLAMES Sherman’s March and the Fight for a New Nation J. D. DICKEY

A New York Times bestselling historian sheds new light on Sherman’s epic “March to the Sea,” especially the soldiers, doctors, nurses, and civilians who would change the nation for the better.

Praise for Empire of Mud: “A bracing and graceful read. Lawlessness approached levels usually associated with Tombsone. A century and a half later, we still await our Hercules.” —The Washington Post

“Dickey brings the city to life, relating how it looked, felt, and functioned. Entertaining.” —Library Journal

“An eye-opening, in-depth look at the history of America’s capital city in the 19th century. Dickey has a flowing style and knowledgeable approach.” —Publishers Weekly

“Engrossing and revealing. As the city slowly expanded, it was fertile ground for greedy speculators, hordes of corrupt businessmen, and prostitutes.” —Booklist (starred)

America in the antebellum years was a deeply troubled country, divided by partisan gridlock and ideological warfare, angry voices in the streets and the statehouses, furious clashes over race and immigration, and a growing chasm between immense wealth and desperate poverty. The Civil War that followed brought America to the brink of self-destruction. But it also created a new country from the ruins of the old one—bolder and stronger than ever. No event in the war was more destructive, or more important, than William Sherman’s legendary march through Georgia—crippling the heart of the South’s economy, freeing thousands of slaves, and marking the beginning of a new era. This invasion not only quelled the Confederate forces, but also transformed America, forcing it to reckon with a century of injustice. Dickey reveals the story of women actively involved in the military campaign and, later, in civilian networks. African Americans took active roles as soldiers, builders, and activists. Rich with despair and hope, bru- tality and compassion, Rising in Flames tells the dramatic story of the Union’s invasion of the Confederacy, and how this colossal struggle helped create a new nation from the embers of the Old South.

J. D. Dickey is the New York Times bestselling author of Empire of Mud: The Secret History of Washington, DC. He was a contributor to The Rough Guide to the Lost Symbol by Dan Brown and has written for the Independent and Daily Telegraph. He lives in Portland, Oregon.

Presented for the first time as an illustrated novel—with unabridged text—experience anew the violent war for control of the New World in this classic tale by James Fenimore Cooper.

“Cooper’s sympathy is large, and his humor is as genuine—and as perfectly unaffected—as his art.” —Joseph Conrad

The wild rush of action in this classic frontier adventure novel has made The Last of the Mohicans the most popular of James Fenimore Cooper’s “Leatherstocking Tales.” Deep in the forests of upper New York State, the brave woodsman Hawkeye—Natty Bumppo—and his loyal Mohican friends Chingachgook and Uncas become embroiled in the bloody battles of the French and Indian War. The abduction of the beautiful Munro sisters by hostile savages; the treachery of the renegade brave Magua; the ambush of innocent settlers; and the thrilling events that lead to the final tragic confrontation between rival war parties create an unforgettable, spine-tingling picture of life on the frontier. At the center of the novel is the infamous massacre of British troops and their families by Indian allies of the French at Fort William Henry in 1757. Around this historical event, Cooper builds a romantic fiction of captivity, sexuality, and heroism, in which the destiny of the Mohican Chingachgook and his son Uncas is inseparable from the lives of Alice and Cora Munro and of Hawkeye the frontier scout.

CAUGHT IN TIME A Novel JULIE McELWAIN

Still stranded in Regency England amidst the glitter and tumult of 1815, FBI agent Kendra Donovan finds herself on the trail of a murderer with a shocking secret.

Praise for the Kendra Donovan mystery series:

“Readers of Regency romances or FBI thrillers are sure to love A Twist in Time, an inventive mix of the two genres. With its rapid pacing, slew of interesting characters, and time travel, it is riveting.” —Shelf Awareness

“If the Outlander series were written by Lisa Gardner, this would be the result. A tense page-turner with an excellent dose of feminism, social commentary, and badassery.” —Criminal Element

“Absolutely captivating and will appeal to readers of fiction, mystery, and romance. Expect to stay engaged until the final page. Author, a sequel, please!” —Library Journal (starred)

“A vivid setting, interesting characters, sustained suspense, and even a hint of romance make this thriller hard to put down for long. A very enjoyable read that paints a vivid picture of how remarkably the world has changed over the past two hundred years.” —Mystery Scene Magazine

There is only one place Kendra Donovan truly wants to go—back to the twenty-first century. But since that’s not happening, she agrees instead to accompany the Duke of Aldridge to one of his smaller estates. Their journey takes them through Yorkshire, a region whose breathtaking beauty masks a simmering violence brought on by the Industrial Revolution. When Kendra and the Duke encounter a band of Luddites on a lonely, fog-shrouded road, the Duke informs the authorities in the nearby village that mischief may have been done at the local mill. They soon discover the body of the mill manager, Mr. Stone, brutally bludgeoned to death in his office. The Constable is certain the radical-minded Luddites committed the murder, but one look at the crime scene tells Kendra they did not. Joined by the Duke, her lover Alec, and Bow Street Runner Sam Kelly, Kendra must sort through the puzzle of Stone’s rather unsavory life, picking apart alibies and dissecting carefully created deceptions from a growing list of suspects. But when another, even more vicious murder occurs, Kendra realizes that they’re dealing with a stone- cold killer with a shocking secret that he will do anything to protect.

Julie McElwain’s first two Kendra Donovan mysteries, A Murder in Time and A Twist in Time, are also available from Pegasus Crime. Julie lives in Long Beach, California.

For all lovers and dogs and adventure, come join Kelly and Loki the Wolfdog as they explore the country together, inspiring those around them and revealing the endless possibilities between a man and his four-legged companion.

During a blizzard in 2012, Kelly brought Loki—a husky/arctic wolf/malamute mix—home. Growing up in a family that took dog ownership very seriously, Kelly had his fair share of experiences with large dogs. But Loki was different. Instead of the dog entering into Kelly’s world, Kelly felt that he had to listen closely to Loki and enter into his world. At that time, Kelly decided that he would do everything possible to not leave him behind at the house. They started backcountry snowboarding together when Loki was four months old, and before his third birthday, he’d seen most of the western United States. Loki the Wolfdog has developed a massive following across social media. With 1.5 million followers on Instagram and 140,000 likes on Facebook, people have grown to love following Kelly and Loki’s adventures. Starting out just for fun, Kelly started an Instagram account for Loki documenting their escapades. The story was later picked up by numerous websites, giving them unexpected exposure. Realizing that they now have a voice in the social media community, they want to give back and inspire others to get out, explore the world, and make memories with their pups. Loki the Wolfdog has a massive following, because people have enjoyed watching Kelly and Loki’s undeniable bond. The story is both philosophical and visual: an invitation to experience life through Kelly and Loki’s eyes.

Kelly Lund is a photographer and avid adventurer. Before Kelly became a full-time dog dad, he was the Outdoor Recreation Coordinator for the City of Denver. There, his focus was to inspire the inner-city community to explore the nearby mountains. Kelly now pursues a career in social media. Kelly and Loki live in Denver.

18 MONSOON How the Future of Catastrophic Rains Imperils Billions SARAH CASSON

A piercing narrative of science and social policy that powerfully conveys what monsoons— one of nature’s most powerful and complex phenomena—will mean for our global future.

When most of us think about climate change, we imagine ice caps melting and sea levels rising—but the biggest threat will actually come from catastrophic rains, known as monsoons. Monsoons—seasonal patterns that begin as high winds and drive rainfall throughout five continents—are the least recognized and least understood of all the weather phenomena disrupted by climate change. Yet monsoons make the biggest impact on human lives and societies. Filled with cutting-edge, on-the-ground research from around the world, combined with historical records of past monsoons, Sarah Casson paints a vivid picture of these rains, their impor- tance to humanity, and what climate change is doing to their rhythms. Monsoon disruptions can range from flooding and food crises to mass migrations, and Casson expertly shows how our current policy recommendations from governments, NGOs, and big agricultural companies fall short. Unlike rising sea levels, however, this is an issue that has possible fixes. By understanding the complex nature of monsoons and pairing grassroots solutions with smart use of resources, we can potentially counter devas- tating impacts in the future. Monsoon is both a call to action and a beacon toward solutions to a problem that affects a billion people, with ripple effects for all societies around the globe.

A warm and entertaining memoir about what happens when you foster fifty dogs in less than two years—and how the dogs save you as much as you save them.

“A love letter not only to the dogs she fostered, but to all the dogs she hopes to save in the future.” —Kim Kavin, author of The Dog Merchants

When Cara felt her teenaged children slipping away and saw an empty nest on the horizon, she decided the best way to fill that void was with dogs—lots of them—and so her foster journey began. In 2015, her Pennsylvania farm became a haven for Operation Paws for Homes. There were the nine puppies at once, which arrived with less than a day’s notice; a heart- worm positive dog; a deeply traumatized stray pup from Iraq; and countless others who just needed a gentle touch and a warm place to sleep. Operation Paws for Homes rescues dogs from high-kill shelters in the rural south and shuttles them north to foster homes like Cara’s on the way to their forever homes. What started as a search for a good dog, led to an epiphany that there wasn’t just one that could fill the hole left in her heart from her children gaining independence—she could save dozens along the way. The stories of these remarkable dogs— including an eighty-pound bloodhound who sang arias for the neighbors—and the joy they bring to Cara and her family (along with a few chewed sofa cushions) fill the pages of this touching and inspiring new book that reveals the wonderful rewards of fostering. $25.95 U.S. | $35.95 CAN. | £20.00 When asked how she can possibly say goodbye to that many Hardcover loveable pups, Cara says, “If I don’t give this one away, I can’t Territory: World, All Languages (W) possibly save another.” Filled with humanity and hope, Another ISBN: 978-1-68177-793-1 6 x 9 | 304 pages | CQ 24 Good Dog will take the reader on an journey of smiles, laughs, 16 pages of color photographs and tears—and lead us to wonder how many other good dogs are Pets out there and what we can do to help.

33 DISCOVERING THE MAMMOTH A Tale of Giants, Unicorns, Ivory, and the Birth of a New Science

JOHN J. M cK AY

The fascinating saga of solving the mystery of this ancient animal who once roamed the north country—and has captivated our collective imagination ever since.

“One of those books that make you wonder about the author as much as about his topic. McKay fills in the European background in admirable detail. Mammoths, elephants and their kin, John McKay suggests, helped make us who we are.” —Wall Street Journal

“A well-organized history of science. [McKay’s] story is not about ancient creatures, but about how humans approach the world’s mysteries.” —Publishers Weekly

Long after the last mammoth died and was no longer part of our diet, this awe-inspiring creature still played a role in human life. Cultures around the world interpreted the remains of mammoths through their own world view and mythology. When the ancient Greeks saw deposits of giant fossils, they knew they had discovered where the gods had vanquished the titans. When the Chinese discovered buried ivory, they knew they had found dragons’ teeth. The journey to unravel that puzzle begins in the 1690s with the arrival of a new type of ivory from Russia. It ends during the Napoleonic Wars with the first recovery of a frozen mammoth. The path to figuring out the mammoth was traveled by a colorful cast of characters, including Peter the Great, Ben Franklin, the inventor of hot chocolate, even one pirate, and it culminates with $16.95 U.S. | $22.95 CAN. | £13.99 the creation of the science of paleontology.
