This newsletter includes late-breaking reviews, news of award-winners, up-to-date price information, and book descriptions for September through December titles. We hope you will take some time to review the many new books included here. As usual, the newsletter is divided into subject categories in order to route each section to your appropriate acquisitions and collection development specialists. Some highlights: • Elizabeth Gilbert, bestselling memoirist and author of Eat, Pray, Love, returns to fiction in The Signature of All Things, an enthralling story of love, adventure, and discovery in the 18th and 19th centuries (see Fiction). Make sure to also check out Troubled Daughters, Twisted Wives, featuring chilling tales from trailblazers of domestic suspense like Patricia Highsmith and Shirley Jackson (see Mysteries/Thrillers), and don’t miss the final book in Rachel Caine’s Morganville Vampire Series, Daylighters (see Science Fiction/Fantasy). • BUtterfield 8, John O’Hara’s 1935 masterful portrayal of of upper class corruption in New York during the Great Depression, is now available exclusively from Penguin Classics (see Literature). • A. Scott Berg, Pulitzer Prize-winning biographer of Lindbergh, delivers a penetrating revision of our 28th president in Wilson, and British Museum Director Neil MacGregor illuminates Shakespeare’s era with twenty objects in Shakespeare’s Restless World (see History & Biography). Don’t forget to visit our Memoir page! • Eric Schlosser, New York Times-bestselling author of Fast Food Nation, attempts to uncover secrets about the management of America’s nuclear arsenal in Command and Control (see Current Events & Politics). • In a welcome reassessment of tech culture, Clive Thompson’s Smarter Than You Think shows how new technology helps us think better and faster, and Ella Berthoud’s The Novel Cure revisits the therapeutic and teaching power of the book (see Science, Education, & Reference). • Letters to an Incarcerated Brother, the latest in Hill Harper’s inspiring series, offers a transformative alternative to locking up and forgetting troubled young men (see Psychology, Health, and Spirituality). • New York Times columnist Nick Bilton takes readers backstage in Hatching Twitter as he charts the rise of the social network that set out to change nothing less than communication itself (see Business & Management). • Statistics meets behavioral science in The Numbers Game, the ultimate guide to making sense of soccer, while Wheelmen recounts the greatest conspiracy in sports history: the doping scandal that brought down Lance Armstrong and tarnished the century-old Tour de France (see Performing Arts & Popular Culture).
