Atlantic JULY 2017 White Trash: The 400-Year Untold History of Class in America Nancy Isenberg

The New York Times bestseller: a ground-breaking history of the class system in America, which challenges popular myths about equality in the land of opportunity.

Sales points • An acutely topical book that explains the reasons for Donald Trump's rise to power • Highly acclaimed on publication in the US • A Washington Post and New York Times Notable Book of 2016 •

Description In this landmark book, Nancy Isenberg argues that the voters who boosted Trump all the way to the White House have been a permanent part of the American fabric, and reveals how the wretched and landless poor have existed from the time of the earliest British colonial settlements to today's hillbillies.

Poor whites were central to the rise of the Republican Party in the early nineteenth century and the Civil War itself was fought over class issues nearly as much as it was fought over slavery. Reconstruction pitted white trash against newly freed slaves, which factored in the rise of eugenics - a widely popular movement embraced by Theodore Roosevelt that targeted poor whites for sterilization. These poor were at the heart of New Deal reforms and Lyndon B. Johnson's Great Society; they are now offered up as entertainment in reality TV shows, and the label is applied to celebrities ranging from Dolly Parton to Bill Clinton. Marginalized as a class, white trash have always been at or near the centre of major political debates over the character of the American identity.

Surveying political rhetoric and policy, popular literature and scientific theories over four hundred years, Isenberg upends assumptions about America's supposedly class-free society - where liberty and hard work were meant to ensure real social mobility - and forces a nation to face the truth about the enduring, malevolent nature of class.

Price: $39.99 (NZ$45.00) About the Author ISBN: 9781786492982 Nancy Isenberg is the author of Fallen Founder: The Life of Aaron Burr, which was a finalist for the LA Times Book Prize Format: Hard Cover in Biography and won the Oklahoma Book Award for best book in non-fiction.

Description Produced in nine Mexican states, mezcal has gained popularity among north-of-the-border cocktailians who have come to appreciate the complexity and tradition of this smoky, flavourful spirit.

Mezcal can be made from any of fifty varieties of agave that are often harvested in the wild, and always roasted prior to fermentation, then ground with stones and animal power, and distilled in clay or copper pots. It is truly the most artisanal of spirits.

The varieties of agave and the variations in manufacturing processes yield complexities not found in mezcal's more common cousin, tequila (which by law is made only from blue agave). For these reasons, enthusiasts make cogent arguments that mezcal is more akin to wine, with considerations such as varieties and terroir coming into play. Not to mention that the majority of this that's spirit available in the US is still produced using small-batch methods handed down for centuries.

The men were forced to resort to cannibalism before the final eight survivors were rescued. Herman Melville based his 1851 novel, Moby-Dick, on this sinking.

The surf flew in all directions about him with the continual violent thrashing of his tail. His head about half out of the water, and in that way he came upon us, and again struck the ship.'

Harvard Common Press JULY 2017 The Rotisserie Grilling Cookbook: Surefire Recipes and Foolproof Techniques Derrick Riches and Sabrina Baksh

The Rotisserie Grilling Cookbook shows how to set up, maintain, use, and troubleshoot a rotisserie spit. It includes 105 recipes will expand your outdoor cooking repertoire, including dry-brined turkey and country ham.

Sales points • Only trade book available on this increasingly popular type of grilling equipment • Author's section on About.com was the #1 destination for online searches for grilling and barbecue terms • Rotisserie grilling triples the number of cuts of meats that can be cooked outdoors including turkeys, whole chickens, legs of lamb, beef roasts, and more • 105 recipes to expand your outdoor cooking repertoire

Description Rotisserie grilling is full of hurdles and pitfalls, but The Rotisserie Grilling Cookbook is full of helpful advice.

While you can grill a burger or steak without a cookbook, rotisserie grilling is tricky. With everyday grilling, most people cook things with roughly even thickness and they can tell when the meats are done just by looking at them. Try something bigger, like a leg of lamb, a whole turkey, or a full pork shoulder, and they have a problem--most grills will completely char the outside long before the inside is cooked to a safe temperature. The solution, of course, is a rotisserie. The Rotisserie Grilling Cookbook shows how to set up, maintain, use and troubleshoot a rotisserie spit. It includes 105 recipes will expand your outdoor cooking repertoire, including a dry-brined Thanksgiving turkey, a whole country ham for other holidays, a whole chicken, duck, game hens, and big cuts like a beef ribeye roast or a leg of lamb. Beyond the meat recipes that are the core of the book, it includes rubs, glazes, and mops that are specifically crafted for long, slow cooking over a rotisserie, and even some ideas, like a spit-roasted whole pineapple, from beyond the world of poultry and meats.

Harvard Common Press JULY 2017 The Desert War: The classic trilogy on the North African campaign 1940-1943 Alan Moorehead

Alan Moorehead was a peerless war correspondent who covered the entire war in North Africa from 1940 -1943. The trilogy of books he wrote on the prolonged battles between Montgomery's Eighth Army and Rommel's Afrika Corps immediately drew universal acclaim, and remains an epic account as extraordinary now as it was then. This reissue of Alan Moorehead's classic trilogy on the North Africa campaign 1940-1943 will coincide with the 75th anniversary of the Battles for El Alamein in July and October 1942. With a new introduction from acclaimed historian Richard Overy.

Sales points • 'A classic.' - Observer • 'One of the most remarkable books of this or any other modern war.' - New Statesman

Description In 1940, Alan Moorehead was sent to cover the North Africa campaign by the Daily Express, and he followed its dramatic course all the way to 1943. The three books he subsequently wrote about the Desert War – later collected as his ‘African Trilogy’ – were swiftly acclaimed as a classic account of the tussle between Montgomery’s Eighth Army and Rommel’s Afrika Corps, amidst the endless harsh wastes of the Western Desert. Moorehead was responsible for the celebrated insight that tank battles in the desert are like battles at sea, the lumbering tanks like ships lost in a vast ocean of sand. The New Statesman could not have put it better when it described his achievement with this riveting book: ‘There is something of genius in the breadth and penetration of his vision, which encompasses the whole panorama of war and then narrows it down to the particular: the soldier stubbing out his cigarette before going into action, the expression on a tank commander’s face as he is hit… The story of the African campaigns will go down in history as one of the great epics of mankind, largely thanks to Mr Moorehead’s account.’

Motorbooks JULY 2017 Shelby American Up Close and Behind the Scenes: The Venice Years 1962-1965 Dave Friedman

Takes readers inside the shop that produced the 289 Cobra, Daytona Coupe, 427 Cobra, Mustang GT350, and more from 1962 to 1965.

Sales points • Books related to Carroll Shelby, the cars he created, and his racing exploits are among Motorbooks top sellers • Author Dave Friedman enjoyed the unique advantage of being Shelby's official team photographer thus granting him 24/7 access not available to any other photographer of the period.

Description In 1962 retired racing great Carroll Shelby was looking for his next big move. He'd started a racing school at Riverside Raceway in California, but he really wanted to build his own sports and racing car. He found a promising platform in the British AC Ace, and set about stuffing an American V-8 between the AC's dainty fenders. Thus was born the Shelby Cobra.Shelby set up shop in Venice, California, later in 1962, marking the beginning of the classic Cobra era. It was a near supernatural combination of brilliant designers and wrenches, ever-faster cars, championship-winning teams and drivers, and sheer chutzpah.The Venice shop spawned the 289 Cobra, Daytona Coupe, 427 Cobra, Mustang GT350, Sunbeam Tiger, and more. Eventually the Venice facility could not handle the work, especially when Ford tapped Shelby to create a high-performance version of its new and wildly successful Mustang. Moving to a larger facility and the closer relationship with Ford seemed to diminish the fast and loose nature of the original enterprise. Some of the mojo was lost. Shelby American Up Close and Behind the Scenes takes the reader inside the Venice shop in the critical 1962-1965 period. Author/photographer Dave Friedman was Shelby's official shooter, and he documented everything from Cobra construction to paddock wrenching to race wins. The book is an insider's look via Friedman's documentary photography and first-person stories from Shelby's key players. It's a must-have review of this critical period in both Shelby's history and the history of American racing.

About the Author Price: $59.99 (NZ$69.99) Dave Friedman was Shelby American's official photographer in the 1960s, accompanying the team to races all around the ISBN: 9780760351987 Format: Hard Cover world. He is a longtime motorsports and film-still photographer and the author of several motor racing books, as well as a Dimensions: 241x283mm photography contributor to dozens more.

Walter Foster JULY 2017 Freedom is in Peril Journal

The ‘FREEDOM IS IN PERIL' poster, the WWII-era sequel to 'KEEP CALM', is fresh, and, given recent political events around the world - rings truer than ever.

Sales points • Active participation, or at least the public appearance thereof, is hugely popular, as seen via worldwide protests by political activist groups • The political climate is one where people both worry about their freedoms being taken and want to act to defend them • The original ‘KEEP CALM AND CARRY ON' poster has been massive successful and the follow up to it is both timely and iconic

Description The slogan ‘KEEP CALM AND CARRY ON', created by the British government in 1939 to boost morale in cities constantly threatened by air raids, has become a cultural landmark, repeatedly referenced and endlessly parodied. But originally, the poster bearing that phrase was followed by a second, more aggressive one, reading ‘Freedom is in Peril - Defend It With All Your Might.' In these uncertain times full of political unrest, that statement rings truer than ever. This flexibound journal, bearing that inspirational battle cry on a stirring blue cover and an elastic band closure, will appeal to everyone who wants to mark themselves as a defender of the things in which they believe.

About the Author Freedom is in Peril Defend it With All Your Might was a motivational poster produced by the British government in 1939 in preparation for the Second World War. The poster was intended to raise the morale of the British public, threatened with widely predicted mass air attacks on major cities.

Rock Point Gift & Stationery JULY 2017 The Gastronomical Me M.F.K Fisher

A memoir of food and travel by America's 'poet of the appetites'.

Sales points • New for Pushkin Press • 'I do not know of any one in the United States who writes better prose.' - W.H. Auden • 'Poet of the appetites.' - John Updike • 'She writes about fleeting tastes and feasts vividly, excitingly, sensuously, exquisitely. There is almost a wicked thrill in following her uninhibited track through the glories of the good life.' - James Beard • 'A book about adult loss, survival, and love.' - The New York Review of Books

Description Beginning with her first food memory - the greyish-pink fuzz of her grandmother's strawberry jam - M.F.K. Fisher takes us on a voyage of gastronomical discovery, from her childhood in America to her arrival in Dijon as a young woman, where she tasted real French cooking for the first time. As she embarks on a whole new way of eating, drinking and living in Europe, Fisher recounts memorable meals shared with an assortment of eccentric characters, set against a backdrop of mounting pre-war tensions. In exquisite prose, both convivial and confiding, Fisher shows how food unlocks memories of life's most significant moments, from family celebrations and tensions, to falling in and out of love, to great and dramatic journeys across continents. As she reveals the secret to ordering well, how to cook for those you love, and the true art of eating alone, Fisher proves that when there is food in the bowl, more often that not, there is nourishment in the head and heart.

About the Author Mary Frances Kennedy Fisher (1908-1992) is considered one of the greatest American writers of the twentieth century. In 1929, the newly married Fisher sailed to Dijon with her husband and tasted real French cooking for the first time. It inspired a lifelong interest in eating and living well, which she documented in her prolific writing career. She is the author or 27 books of food, memoir and travel including Serve it Forth and With Bold Knife and Fork, and a recently rediscovered

Daunt Books JULY 2017 A Study in Solitude Iris Origo

An extremely moving account of the lonely life of the unloved and tragic genius - described as the greatest modern Italian poet.

Sales points • Part of a major relaunch of the beloved Iris Origo • in preparation for an exciting new publication of her unpublished diaries… • 'Origo evokes the bittersweet, unlived life with... sympathy and clarity' - Publishers Weekly • ''A meticulous and at times inspired biographer' - Spectator

Description Giacomo Leopardi is widely considered the greatest Italian poet since Dante. Writer, philosopher, essayist and philologist, he was one of the most radical and challenging thinkers of the 19th century. An engaging, highly readable biographer, Origo brings us Leopardi the poet, but also Leopardi the nineteeth-century romantic par excellence - a precocious genius who had written tragedies, poetry, and philosophical treatises by the age of sixteen and who later suffered debilitating illness (he called himself a walking sepulchre).

Iris Origo's masterful biography is an incisive psychological portrait of the melancholy, semi-cloistered, hunchback poet whose genius, pain, and frustrated hopes found their outlet in poetry admired for its brilliance, intensity and seemingly effortless musicality.

About the Author Iris Origo (1902-1988) was a British-born biographer and writer. She lived in Italy and devoted much of her life to the improvement of the Tuscan estate at La Foce, which she purchased with her husband in the 1920s. During WWII, she sheltered refugee children and assisted many escaped Allied prisoners of war and partisans in defiance of Italy's fascist regime and Nazi occupation forces. Pushkin Press also publishes her war diaries, War in Val D'Orcia, her memoir, Images and Shadows, as well as another of her biographies, The Last Attachment.

Pushkin JULY 2017 The Last Attachment Iris Origo

A detailed and engrossing account of the last - and arguably most intense - love affair of one of the greatest British poets

Sales points • 'A meticulous and at times inspired biographer' - Spectator • 'A fascinating and sincere biography... a treasure trove... gives off a rich aroma of those forgone and unbelievably romantic days' - Kirkus Review • 'A sublime wordsmith and an astute and passionate observer of human behaviour' - New York Times

Description Teresa Guiccioli was 19 years old and married to a jealous and violent husband when she became Byron's mistress in 1819. Incorporating 116 letters from Byron to Teresa, and some of her answers to him, Iris Origo's fascinating account of Byron's Italian years not only follows the lovers' five-year affair but provides real insight into the labyrinth of Italian social and political life of the time, including Byron's part in the Italian revolutionary movement, which led to his final adventure in Greece.

Teresa was Byron's last love, but before the end came, the relationship of these passionate, unstable people - one an English aristocrat and celebrity and the other at the height of Italian society - which involved intermediaries, surveillance, look-outs, spies and bribes, caused a huge scandal. They became political exiles, and, with the affair with Byron serving as an excuse, Teresa's marriage was dissolved by the Pope.

The intense focus of this clear and engaging biography, originally published in 1949, results in drama as taut and personal as a novel and will appeal to general readers and students of Byron alike.

Pushkin JULY 2017 Memories - From Moscow To The Black Sea Teffi

A vividly idiosyncratic personal account of the disintegration of Tsarist Russia after the Revolution, as alive to the farcical and the ridiculous as it is to the tragic; a bit like what Chekhov might have written if he had lived to experience it.' - Michael Frayn

Sales points • 'Wonderfully idiosyncratic, coolly heartfelt and memorable.' - Sunday Times • 'Heartbreaking as well as very funny. I wish she were still alive, and I could have met her... I can't recommend her strongly enough.' - Guardian

Description The writer and satirist Teffi was a literary sensation in Russia until war and revolution forced her to leave her country forever. Memories is her blackly funny and heartbreaking account of her final, frantic journey into exile across Russia - travelling by cart, freight train and rickety steamer - and the 'ordinary and unheroic' people she encounters. From refugees setting up camp on a dockside to a singer desperately buying a few 'last scraps' of fabric to make a dress, all are caught up in the whirlwind; all are immortalised by Teffi's penetrating gaze. Fusing exuberant wit and bitter horror, this is an extraordinary portrayal of what it means to say goodbye, with haunting relevance in today's new age of diaspora. Published in English for the first time, it confirms the rediscovery of Teffi as one of the most humane, perceptive observers of her times, and an essential writer for ours.

About the Author Teffi (1872-1952) wrote poems, plays, stories, satires and feuilletons, and was renowned in Russia for her wit and powers of observation. Following her emigration in 1919 she settled in Paris, where she became a leading figure in the emigre literary scene. Now her genius has been rediscovered by a new generation of readers, and she once again enjoys huge acclaim in Russia and across the world. Pushkin Press also publishes Subtly Worded, a collection of her short stories, and Rasputin and Other Ironies, a selection of her best non-fiction.

Sales points • Anne Holt is a huge name in Scandinavian crime writing • Over 3000 tpbs sold in ANZ • For fans of Val McDermid, Patricia Cornwell, Camilla Lackberg and Jo Nesbo •

Description Four people are found shot dead at the luxury home of the Stahlbergs, one of Oslo's wealthiest dynasties and notorious for highly publicised infighting. Three of the dead are members of the family and the fourth victim is a seeming nobody. With so many years of bad blood, it's hard to narrow down a shortlist of suspects. Hanne Wilhelmsen is drafted in to untangle the family's complex, bitter history and find the killer.

Working with her longtime police partner Billy T., the pair unearth numerous motives for the murders; each surviving member of the Stahlberg family had good reason to want the victims dead. But as Hanne digs deeper she comes to believe there is a bigger secret concealed by the lies. As she draws closer to the truth, Hanne will once again risk everything for justice.

Pier 9 JULY 2017 3-Minute Stephen Hawking: Digesting his life, theories and influence in 3-minute morsels Paul Parsons

A terrific introduction to the life, work and influence of renowned scientist Stephen Hawking.

Sales points • A biography to celebrate the 70th birthday of one of today's iconic figures • Divides life, work, and influence into 1-hour sections and 3-minute bites • The quickest way to discover one of the great minds of our time

Description The 3-Minute series offers the essence of the world's most important figures with all the padding removed. It divides up their lives into 60 three-minute chunks, each presented as an easily digestible visual snack. Divided into three thematic sections on Life, Works, and Influence each containing an hour's worth of fascinating facts the 3-Minute series is a whole new style of biography. So, who do you get to follow Einstein, the first of our 3-Minute wonders? Who else could it be but Stephen Hawking, the world's best-known living theoretical physicist, who celebrates his 70th birthday in January 2012. Professor Hawking is one of the great geniuses of our time, but how much do you really know about him and his work. He not only explores the frontiers of space-time, but takes the trouble to come back and try to explain it to us non-science brains down here (A Brief History of Time, 1988). His intellect and enthusiasm undimmed by the motor neurone disease that hampers his body, his work on gravitational singularities (black holes), the nature of time, and the attempt to reconcile quantum mechanics with Einstein's general relativity is genuinely brain-bending. We are proud that we have condensed it into 3 minute chunks.

About the Author Paul Parsons is a science writer who has long been fascinated by the theories and ideas of quantum physics. He holds a Ph.D. in cosmology, was formerly editor of the award-winning monthly science and technology magazine BBC Focus, and was consultant editor on 30-Second Theories.
