2 The Great Divergence America’s Growing Inequality Crisis and What We Can Do about It Timothy Noah

A probing and provocative exploration of income inequality in America, and the dangers it poses to our democracy, based on Timothy Noah’s award-winning articles from Slate.

For the past three decades, America has steadily become a nation of haves and have-nots. Our incomes are increasingly drastically unequal: the top 1 percent of americans collect almost 20 percent of the nation’s income—more than double their share in 1973. We have less equality of income than Venezuela,

Kenya, or Yemen. www

protest to revolution. Independence takes readers from the battlefields of Bunker Hill to the cobblestones t ho

of Philadelphia and into the halls of Parliament, where furious debate erupted over how to deal with the p rebellion.

In Elixir, New York Times bestselling author Brian Fagan tells the story of our most vital resource and how it has shaped our history, from ancient Mesopotamia to the parched present of the Sunbelt. Fagan relates how every human society has been shaped by its relationship to our most essential resource. This sweeping narrative moves across the world, from ancient Greece and Rome, whose mighty aqueducts still supply modern cities, to China, where emperors marshaled armies of laborers in a centuries-long struggle to tame powerful rivers. As the earth’s population approaches nine billion and ancient aquifers run dry, we once again remember the importance of this vital resource. To solve the water crises of the future, we may need to adapt the water ethos of our ancestors, captured here in rich detail by Brian Fagan.

Praise for Elixir:

“Eye-opening . . . Making sense of water and its place in the development of civilization . . . [Fagan] understands how the ancients struggled with changing climate and that what matters has always been the fluctuating availability of water, rather than shifting temperatures. That is an important lesson for us now.” —Washington Post “A rewarding survey of water’s role in history and contemporary politics alike.”—Kirkus Reviews

22 Pinstripe Empire The New York Yankees from Before the Babe to After the Boss Marty Appel

Featuring introductory material by Yogi Berra, Bernie Williams, and Frank Graham Jr. Bestselling author Marty Appel writes the definitive history of baseball’s greatest franchise.

Since their breakthrough championship season in 1923, when Yankee stadium opened, the New York www Yankees have been baseball’s most successful, decorated, and colorful franchise. Home to Ruth, Gehrig, DiMaggio, Berra, Mantle, Jackson, and Mattingly; and later Torre, Jeter, Rivera, and Rodriguez, the team has been a fixture in our national consciousness. .bloomsburyusa.com Yet it’s been nearly seventy years since Frank Graham wrote the last narrative history of the team. Marty Appel, the Yankees’ PR director during the 1970s, now illuminates the team in all its century-plus of glory: clever, maneuvering owners; rowdy, talented players; and, of course, twenty-seven championships. Appel heard war stories from old-timers like Mantle, Berra, and Casey Stengel, and has maintained a presence in the organization ever since. A collector, writer, and raconteur, he gives life to the team’s history, from the muddy, uneven field at Hilltop Park in the 1900s to the evolution of today’s team as an international brand. Loaded with over a century’s worth of great stories, folklore, and photos, this is a treasure trove for lovers of sports, the Yankees, New York history, and America’s game. n laure

34 Mrs. Robinson’s Disgrace The Private Diary of a Victorian Lady Kate Summerscale Also available The story of an intimate diary and a scandalous trial that rocked Victorian England, by the author of the bestselling The Suspicions of Mr. Whicher.

“I think people marry far too much; it is such a lottery, and for a poor woman—bodily and morally the husband’s slave—a very doubtful happiness.”—Queen Victoria to her recently married daughter Vicky Headstrong, high-spirited, and already widowed, Isabella Walker became Mrs. Henry Robinson at age thirty-one in 1844. her first husband had died suddenly, leaving his estate to a son from a previous marriage, so she inherited nothing. A successful civil engineer, Henry moved them, by then with two sons, to Edinburgh’s elegant society in 1850. But Henry traveled often and was cold and remote when home, leaving Isabella to her fantasies. The Suspicions of Mr. No doubt thousands of Victorian women faced the same circumstances, but Isabella chose to record her Whicher PB www innermost thoughts—and especially her infatuation with the married Dr. Edward Lane—in her diary. ISBN 978-0-8027-1742-9 Over five years the entries mounted—passionate, sensual, suggestive. One fateful day in 1858 Henry U.S. $16.00 chanced on the diary and, broaching its privacy, read isabella's intimate entries. aghast at his wife’s also available as an eBook .bloomsburyusa.com perceived infidelity, Henry petitioned for divorce on the grounds of adultery. Until that year, divorce had been illegal in England, the marital bond being a cornerstone of English life. Their trial would be a cause célèbre, threatening the foundations of Victorian society with the specter of “a new and disturbing figure: a middle class wife who was restless, unhappy, avid for arousal.” Her diary, read in court, was as explosive as Flaubert’s Madame Bovary, just published in France, but considered too scandalous to be translated into English until the 1880s. As she accomplished in her award-winning and bestselling The Suspicions of Mr. Whicher, Kate Summerscale brilliantly re-creates the Victorian world, chronicling in exquisite and compelling detail the life of Isabella Robinson, wherein the longings of a frustrated wife collided with a society clinging to rigid ideas about sanity, the boundaries of privacy, the institution of marriage, and female sexuality.

Praise for The Suspicions of Mr. Whicher (Time Magazine Top 10 Nonfiction Books of the Year, 2008; Salon 10 Best Books of 2008; Winner of the Samuel Johnson Prize for Nonfiction 2008):

“Summerscale accomplishes what modern genre authors hardly bother to do anymore, which is to use a murder investigation as a portal to a wider world. When put in historical context, every aspect of this case tells us

something about mid-Victorian society … The author’s startling final twist both vindicates her fallen hero and gle n

advances an ‘aggressive’ attack on moral hypocrisy in his day and ours.” ri —Marilyn Stasio, New York Times Book Review k p mar

79 Barack Obama’s Post-American Foreign Policy The Limits of Engagement Robert Singh

Barack Obama’s election was widely perceived as a turning point in American foreign policy after the controversial and often divisive period under George W. Bush. The great expectations for change in style and substance were significantly, possibly permanently, tempered according to Robert Singh’s analysis at the midway point of Obama’s first term. The distance between the “change euphoria” of November 2008 and the reality of today is the result of two key factors. First, the international problems confronting Obama appear intractable, especially with the United States stretched thin, both economically and militarily. Equally important, the partial delivery Drama of Obama’s “change agenda” has been criticized by conservatives as advancing America’s decline and by August liberals as showing continuity with the policies of his Republican predecessor. Paperback u.s. $25.95 Singh argues that obama’s international approach of “strategic engagement” and his search for the 416 PAGES pragmatic ideological middle have cost him political support at home and abroad and have failed to 5” x 8” make decisive gains. As such, while assessing his foreign policies to the emergence of what is becoming ISBN 978-1-4081-5701-5 a “post-American” world, the president has yet to craft or preside over a long-awaited renaissance in American global leadership.
