Fifty years later, Philomena decided to find him. Meanwhile, on the other side of the Atlantic, Philomena’s son was trying to find her. Renamed Michael Hess, he had become a leading lawyer in the first Bush administration, and he struggled to hide secrets that would jeopardize his career in the Republican Party and endanger his quest to find his mother. A gripping exposé told with novelistic intrigue, Philomena pulls back the curtain on the role of the Catholic Church in forced adoptions and on the love between a mother and son who endured a lifelong separation. n A Penguin Original n Features a foreword by Judi Dench, the star of the movie adaptation n The film Philomena opens in fall 2013 and stars Judi Dench and Steve Coogan, which is directed by Stephen Frears (My Beautiful Laundrette, Dangerous Liaisons, High Fidelity, The Queen) n For fans of Doubt and The Magdalene Sisters MaRtin sixsMith is the author of several fiction and nonfiction books and is a former BBC journalist and director of communications for the British government.

The Hour Between<br />

How Risk Taking Transforms Us, Body and Mind<br />
John Coates<br />
Before he became a world-class scientist, John Coates ran a<br />
derivatives trading desk in New York City. He used the expression<br />
“the hour between dog and wolf” to refer to the moment of Jekylland-Hyde<br />
transformation traders passed through when under<br />
pressure. They became cocky and irrationally risk-seeking when<br />
on a winning streak, tentative and risk-averse when cowering<br />
from losses. In a series of groundbreaking experiments, Coates<br />
identified a feedback loop between testosterone and success—<br />
one that can cloud men’s judgment in high-pressure decisionmaking.<br />
Coates demonstrates how our bodies produce the fabled<br />
gut feelings we so often rely on, how stress in the workplace<br />
can impair our judgment and even damage our health, and how<br />
sports science can help us toughen our bodies against the ravages<br />
of stress. Revealing the biology behind bubbles and crashes, The<br />
Hour Between Dog and Wolf sheds new and surprising light on<br />
issues that affect us all.<br />
