Coming in April—An innovative, paradigm-shifting book that will captivate readers 

of outliers, the power of Habit, Quiet, and drive 

give and take 

the Hidden social dynamics of success 

adam grant 

In his landmark book, Adam Grant illuminates 

how success is driven by an increasingly important 

factor—our reciprocity style, or the way we interact 

with others when exchanging value. Give and 

Take changes our fundamental understanding of 

why we succeed and offers a new paradigm for our 

relationships with colleagues, clients, and competitors. 

It demolishes the “me-first” worldview and 

shows that the best way to get to the top is to focus 

not on your solo journey but on bringing others 

with you. 

Engaging, intriguing, and filled with surprising 

success stories from history to Hollywood, Give 

and Take presents an approach to work, team building, 

productivity, and profitability that is nothing 

short of revolutionary. We have been taught to 

praise for adam grant: 

“ give and take just might be the most important 

book of this young century. as insightful and 

entertaining as malcolm gladwell at his best, this 

book has profound implications for how we manage 

our careers, deal with our friends and relatives, 

raise our children, and design our institutions. this 

gem is a joy to read, and it shatters the myth that 

greed is the path to success.” —robert sutton, 

bestselling author of the no *sshole rule and good 

boss, bad boss 

“ adam grant has crafted a unique, ‘must have’ 

toolkit for accomplishing goals through collaboration 

and reciprocity.” —William lauder, executive 

chairman, the estée lauder Companies inc.

think that people who give without expecting anything 

in return are at risk of burning out or being 

exploited, but the truth is that they are often the 

most successful people in any given field. 

Using his own cutting-edge research as a professor 

at Wharton Business School, Grant shows 

how helping others can lead to greater personal 

success; how smart givers avoid becoming doormats 

and why this kind of success has the power 

to transform not just individuals and groups, but 

entire organizations and communities.

“ One of our great writers of moral ambiguity, a tireless explorer of that darkly 

contradictory no-man’s land.” —Tim Rutten, los angeles times 

a deliCate truth 

a novel 

john le CarrÉ 

Nearly five decades ago, John le Carré became an 

international sensation with the publication of his 

third novel, The Spy Who Came In from the Cold. 

His last novel, Our Kind of Traitor, won unanimous 

critical acclaim and hit the New York Times bestseller 

list just as the Oscar-nominated film version 

of Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy introduced a new generation 

to his chillingly amoral universe. 

A Delicate Truth opens in 2008. A counterterrorist 

operation, codenamed Wildlife, is being 

mounted on the British crown colony of Gibraltar. 

Its purpose: to capture and abduct a high-value jihadist 

arms-buyer. Its authors: an ambitious Foreign 

Office Minister, a private defense contractor 

who is also his bosom friend, and a shady American 

CIA operative of the evangelical far-right. So 

praise for Our Kind of Traitor: 

“ if a better thriller than Our Kind of Traitor has been 

published this year, i’d like to see it.” 

—The Washington Post 

“ part vintage John le Carré and part alfred Hitchcock 

. . . genuine and nerve-racking.” 

—michiko kakutani, The New York Times 

“ a ripping good story steeped in ugly truths.” 

—USA Today 

4 

delicate is the operation that even the Minister’s 

personal private secretary, Toby Bell, is not cleared 

for it. 

Cornwall, UK, 2011. A disgraced Special Forces 

Soldier delivers a message from the dead. Was Operation 

Wildlife the success it was cracked up to 

be—or a human tragedy that was ruthlessly covered 

up? Summoned by Sir Christopher (“Kit”) Probyn, 

retired British diplomat, to his decaying Cornish 

manor house, and closely observed by Kit’s beautiful 

daughter, Emily, Toby must choose between his 

conscience and duty to his Service. If the only thing 

necessary to the triumph of evil is for good men to 

do nothing, how can he keep silent? 

• Our Kind of Traitor was a New York Times 

bestseller in hardcover and paperback 

• The film version of A Most Wanted Man starring 

philip seymour Hoffman, Willem dafoe, and 

rachel mcadams is due in fall 2013 

• The unabridged audio will be read by the author

Bestselling author of mayflower, Nathaniel Philbrick, gives a visceral account of 

the battle that ignited the American Revolution 

bunker hill 

a City, a siege, a revolution 

nathaniel philbriCk 

Nathaniel Philbrick, the bestselling author of In the 

Heart of the Sea and Mayflower, brings his prodigious 

talents to the story of the first major battle of 

the American Revolution. 

Boston in 1775 is an island city occupied by 

British troops after a series of incendiary incidents 

by patriots who range from sober citizens to thuggish 

vigilantes. After the Boston Tea Party, British 

and American soldiers and Massachusetts residents 

have warily maneuvered around each other until 

April 19, when violence finally erupts at Lexington 

and Concord. In June, however, with the city cut 

off from supplies by a British blockade and Patriot 

militia poised in siege, skirmishes give way to outright 

war in the Battle of Bunker Hill. It would be 

the bloodiest battle of the Revolution to come, and 

the point of no return for the rebellious colonists. 

Philbrick brings a fresh perspective to every 

aspect of the story. He finds new characters, and 

praise for The Last Stand: 

“ engrossing and tautly written. . . . With strong 

narrative skill, offering broad context and narrow 

detail, philbrick . . . dismantles old myths piece by 

piece.” —Los Angeles Times 

praise for Mayflower: 

“ vivid and remarkably fresh . . . philbrick has recast 

the pilgrims for our age of searching and turmoil.” 

—New York Times Book Review 

6 

new facets to familiar ones. The real work of choreographing 

rebellion falls to a thirty-three year old 

physician named Joseph Warren who emerges as 

the on-the-ground leader of the Patriot cause and 

is fated to die at Bunker Hill. Others in the cast 

include Paul Revere, Warren’s fiancé the poet Mercy 

Scollay, a newly recruited George Washington, 

the reluctant British combatant General Thomas 

Gage and his more bellicose successor William 

Howe, who leads the three charges at Bunker Hill 

and presides over the claustrophobic cauldron of a 

city under siege as both sides play a nervy game of 

brinkmanship for control. 

With passion and insight, Philbrick reconstructs 

the revolutionary landscape—geographic 

and ideological—in a mesmerizing narrative of the 

robust, messy, blisteringly real origins of America.

An exquisite return to the “breathtakingly imaginative” (people) and seductive 

world of the new york times bestseller angelology 

angelopolis 

a novel 

danielle trussoni 

Hailed by USA Today as “a thrill ride best described 

as The Da Vinci Code meets Raiders of the Lost Ark,” 

Danielle Trussoni’s bestselling first novel, Angelology, 

wove biblical lore, the Orpheus myth, and Milton’s 

Rebel Angels into a present-day world tinged 

with the divine supernatural. The novel plunged 

two endearing loners—art historian V. A. Verlaine 

and Evangeline, a beautiful young nun—into an 

ancient battle between a secret society and mankind’s 

most insidious enemies: angel-human hybrids 

known as the Nephilim. 

Now a decade has passed since Verlaine saw 

Evangeline alight from the Brooklyn Bridge, the 

sight of her wings a betrayal that haunts him still. 

The Nephilim are again on the rise, scheming to 

construct their own paradise—the Angelopolis— 

praise for Angelology: 

“ Angelology finds an almost hallucinatory power 

. . . fusing the debased, the psychological, and the 

theological into a single rich, strange tableau that 

transmits a shock of truth.” —Time 

“ Sensual and intelligent . . . A terrifically clever 

thriller.” —The New York Times Book Review 

“ move over, vampires. dark angels are on the horizon 

. . . a sumptuous and surprising novel.” 

—national public radio 

8 

and ruthlessly pursued by Verlaine in his new calling 

as an angel hunter. But when Evangeline materializes, 

Verlaine is besieged by doubts that will 

only grow as forces more powerful than even the 

Nephilim draw them from Paris to Saint Petersburg 

and deep into the provinces of Siberia and the 

Black Sea coast. A high-octane tale of abduction 

and liberation, treasure seeking and divine warfare, 

Angelopolis plumbs Russia’s imperial past, modern 

genetics, and the archangel Gabriel’s famous visitations 

to conceive a fresh tableau of history and 

myth that will, once again, enthrall readers the 

world over.

The American companion to a History of the World in 100 objects: A fresh, visual 

perspective on the Civil War 

the Civil war in 50 objeCts 

harold holzer and 

the new-york historiCal soCiety 

Introduction by Eric Foner 

From a soldier’s diary with the pencil still attached 

to John Brown’s pike, the Emancipation Proclamation, 

and the leaves from Abraham Lincoln’s bier, 

here is a unique and surprisingly intimate look at 

the Civil War. 

Lincoln scholar Harold Holzer sheds new light 

on the war by examining fifty objects from the 

New-York Historical Society’s acclaimed collection. 

A daguerreotype of an elderly, dignified ex-slave, 

whose unblinking stare still mesmerizes; a soldier’s 

footlocker still packed with its contents; Grant’s 

handwritten terms of surrender at Appomattox— 

the stories these objects tell are rich, poignant, 

from The Civil War in 50 Objects: 

nearly a century and a half after its conclusion, 

the Civil War remains the central event in american 

history. the reasons for the war’s continued 

relevance lie not only in its great accomplishments 

—the preservation of the union and destruction 

of slavery—but in the fact that it raised so many 

questions that remain fundamental to americans’ 

understanding of themselves as a nation. What 

should be the balance of power between local 

authority and the national government, who is 

entitled to american citizenship, what are the 

concrete meanings of freedom and equality? 

these questions remain subjects of controversy 

today. in that sense, the Civil War is not yet over. 

—from the introduction by eric foner 

10 

sometimes painful, and always fascinating. They illuminate 

the conflict from all perspectives—Union 

and Confederate, military and civilian, black and 

white, male and female—and give readers a deeply 

human sense of the war. 

With more than eighty photographs, The 

Civil War in 50 Objects is the perfect companion 

for readers and history fans to commemorate the 

150th anniversaries of both the Battle of Gettysburg 

and Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address.

JUDY JUANITA’s poetry and 

fi ction have been published 

widely, and her plays have been 

produced in the bay area and 

new york City. she has taught 

writing at laney College in 

oakland since 1993. this is her 

fi rst novel. She lives in Oakland. 

At fi rst glance, Geniece’s story sounds like 

that of a typical young woman: she goes 

to college, has romantic entanglements, 

builds meaningful friendships, and juggles 

her schedule with a part-time job. However, 

she does all of these things in 1960s 

San Francisco while becoming a militant 

member of the Black Panther movement. 

When Huey Newton is jailed in October 

1967 and the Panthers explode nationwide, 

Geniece enters the organization’s 

dark and dangerous world of guns, FBI 

agents, freewheeling sex on demand, quasi-legal 

adventures, police repression, and 

fatal shoot-outs—all while balancing her 

other life as a college student. 

Virgin Soul is a moving novel of one 

young woman’s life spinning out of the 

typical and into the extraordinary during 

one of the most politically and racially 

charged eras in America’s history.

empathy, by narrative, by imagination. In

an illness—Solnit revisits fairytales and entertains 

other stories: about arctic explorers, 

Che Guevara among the leper colonies, 

and Mary Shelley’s Dr. Frankenstein, 

about warmth and coldness, pain and 

kindness, decay and transformation, making 

art and making self. Woven together, 

these stories create a map which charts the 

boundaries and territories of storytelling, 

reframing who each of us is and how we 

might tell our story.

SALLY KOSLOW is the author 

of three novels, The Late, 

Lamented Molly Marx, a target 

Book Pick; With Friends Like 

These; and Little Pink Slips, 

inspired by her time as the 

editor in chief of McCall’s; and 

Slouching Toward Adulthood, a 

witty and insightful report from 

the parenting trenches. she 

lives in new york City. 

Ben Silver had it all—a successful law 

practice, a New York apartment overlooking 

Central Park, a beach house, fi ne art, 

club memberships. Yet when a massive 

coronary fells him while training for the 

New York City Marathon, it’s revealed that 

his life was a lie. He’s left his wife, Georgia 

Waltz, and their two daughters almost 

penniless. 

Georgia must now rally to support her 

family while mourning a husband whose 

private enigmas keep surfacing. To her surprise, 

she also discovers that it may even 

be possible to fi nd new love in the land 

of Spanx and wrinkles. Meanwhile, her 

daughters must face the responsibilities of 

adulthood that they have avoided and put 

their hidden talents to work. 

Sally Koslow’s fourth novel is deftly 

told through the alternating viewpoints of 

her three remarkable female protagonists 

as they fi nd the grit to survive devastating 

losses and reinvent their lives. A warm and 

witty story of forgiveness, family, and healing, 

Th e Widow Waltz will appeal to readers 

of Elizabeth Berg, Anna Quindlen, and 

J. Courtney Sullivan.

Hay-on-Wye, 1995. Peter Byerly isn’t sure 

what drew him into this particular bookshop. 

Nine months earlier, the death of 

his beloved wife, Amanda, had left him 

shattered. Th e young antiquarian bookseller 

relocated from North Carolina to the 

English countryside, hoping to rediscover 

the joy he once took in collecting and restoring 

rare books. But upon opening an 

eighteenth-century study of Shakespeare 

forgeries, Peter is shocked when a portrait 

of Amanda tumbles out of its pages. Of 

course, it isn’t really her. Th e watercolor 

is clearly Victorian. Yet the resemblance is 

uncanny, and Peter becomes obsessed with 

learning the picture’s origins. 

As he follows the trail back fi rst to the 

Victorian era and then to Shakespeare’s 

time, Peter communes with Amanda’s spirit, 

learns the truth about his own past, and discovers 

a book that might defi nitively prove 

Shakespeare was, indeed, the author of all 

his plays. Guaranteed to capture the hearts 

of everyone who truly loves books, Th e 

Bookman’s Tale is a former bookseller’s sparkling 

novel and a delightful exploration of 

one of literature’s most tantalizing mysteries. 

A mysterious portrait ignites an antiquarian 

bookseller’s search through the works of 

Shakespeare and time for his lost love

The dramatic story of the American rowing team that stunned the world at the 

1936 Berlin Olympics 

the boys in the boat 

nine americans and their epic Quest for gold at the 1936 berlin olympics 

daniel james brown 

The Boys in the Boat is an irresistible story about 

beating the odds and finding hope in the most desperate 

of times—the improbable, intimate story of 

nine working-class boys from the American west 

who, in the depths of the Great Depression, showed 

the world what true grit really meant. 

Daniel James Brown’s robust book tells the story 

of the University of Washington’s 1936 eight-oar 

crew and their epic quest for an Olympic gold medal, 

a team that transformed the sport and grabbed 

the attention of millions of Americans. The sons 

of loggers, shipyard workers, and farmers, the boys 

defeated elite rivals first from eastern and British 

universities and finally the German crew rowing for 

Adolf Hitler in the Olympic games in Berlin, 1936. 

The emotional heart of the story lies with one 

from The Boys in the Boat: 

out of the corner of his eye, Joe saw the Hungarian 

boat, two lanes over, leap forward, its oarsmen 

already in mid pull. a split second later, he saw 

the british boat do the same. He bellowed, “let’s 

get out of here!” bobby moch barked, “row!” all 

eight american oars dug into the water. for another 

fraction of a second, the Husky Clipper sagged 

slightly under the boys as nearly a ton of dead weight 

resisted being put into motion. then the boat sprang 

forward, and the boys were away—already a stroke 

and a half behind in the race of their lives. 

20 

rower, Joe Rantz, a teenager without family or prospects, 

who rows not for glory, but to regain his 

shattered self-regard and to find a place he can call 

home. The crew is assembled by an enigmatic coach 

and mentored by a visionary, eccentric British boat 

builder, but it is their trust in each other that makes 

them a victorious team. They remind the country 

of what can be done when everyone quite literally 

pulls together—a perfect melding of commitment, 

determination, and optimism. 

Drawing on the boys’ own diaries and journals, 

their photos and memories of a once-in-a-lifetime 

shared dream, The Boys in the Boat is a portrait of an 

era, a celebration of a remarkable achievement, and a 

chronicle of one extraordinary young man’s personal 

quest, all in one immensely satisfying book.

Hugo Donovan and the owner of one

Th ere is something very special about 

Agnès Morel. A quiet presence in the small 

French town of Chartres, she can be found 

cleaning the famed medieval cathedral 

each morning and doing odd jobs for the 

townspeople. No one knows where she 

came from or why. Not Abbé Paul, who 

discovered her one morning twenty years 

ago, sleeping on the north porch, and 

not Alain Fleury, the irreverent young restorer 

who works alongside her each day 

and whose attention she catches with her 

tawny eyes and elusive manner. She has 

transformed each of their lives in her own 

subtle way, yet no one suspects the dark 

secret Agnès is hiding. 

When an accidental encounter dredges 

up a series of tragic incidents from Agnès’s 

youth, the nasty meddling of town gossips 

threatens to upend the woman’s simple, 

peaceful life. Her story reveals a terrible 

loss, a case of mistaken identity, and a 

cruel and violent act that haunts her past. 

Agnès wrestles with her own sense of guilt 

and enduring heartbreak while the citizens 

piece together the truth about her life.

IAN MORTIMER, PH.D., is the 

author of the time traveler’s 

guide to medieval england. 

He was elected a fellow of the 

royal Historical society in 1998 

and was awarded the alexander 

prize (2004) by the royal 

Historical society. He lives with 

his wife and three children on 

the edge of dartmoor, in the 

southwest of england. 

From the author of Th e Time Traveler’s 

Guide to Medieval England, this popular 

history explores daily life in Queen Elizabeth’s 

England, taking us inside the homes 

and minds of ordinary citizens as well as 

luminaries of the period, including Shakespeare, 

Christopher Marlowe, Sir Walter 

Raleigh, and Sir Francis Drake. 

Organized as a travel guide for the

in delightful (and occasionally disturbing) 

detail everything from the sounds and 

smells of sixteenth-century England to the 

complex and contradictory Elizabethan 

attitudes toward violence, class, sex, and 

religion. 

Novel enough to interest those with 

previous knowledge of Elizabethan England 

and accessible enough to entertain 

those without, Th e Time Traveler’s Guide is 

a book for Elizabethan enthusiasts and history

In this fi nely wrought portrait of western 

American life, Ron Carlson takes us to the 

small town of Oakpine, Wyoming, and 

into the lives of four men trying to make 

peace with who they are in the world. 

In high school, these men were in a 

band. One of them, Jimmy, left Oakpine 

for New York City after the tragic death of 

his brother. A successful novelist, he has returned 

thirty years later, in 1999—because 

he is dying. 

With Carlson’s characteristic grace, we 

learn what has become of these friends and 

the diff erent directions of their lives. Craig 

and Frank never left; Mason, a top lawyer 

in Denver, is back in town to fi x up and 

sell his parents’ house. Now that they are 

reunited, getting the band back together 

might be the most important thing they 

can do. 

Return to Oakpine is a generous, tender 

look at friendship, family, and the 

roads not taken, by a writer at the peak of 

his craft. 

From a widely admired author, a poignant 

novel about homecoming, friendship, 

growing up, and growing old

MIKE COOPER is the pseudonymn 

of a former fi nancial executive. 

under a different name his work 

has received wide recognition, 

including a shamus award, an 

international thriller Writers 

award nomination, and inclusion 

in best american mystery 

stories. He lives in boston. 

Clawback introduced readers to Silas Cade, 

a tough-guy auditor antihero whose brand 

of fi nancial reform comes with plenty of 

fi repower. Needing a respite from Wall 

Street, Cade jumps at a job opportunity 

in western Pennsylvania—but fi nds that 

Main Street is just as dirty. 

Th e job seems easy enough—check 

out a Pittsburgh manufacturer and fi le a 

report—but Cade quickly discovers corruption 

at every level. His revelations 

catch the attentions of hair-trigger Russian 

mobsters and a blonde assassin named 

Harmony. Cade’s estranged brother is 

dragged into the fray as the tension builds 

to bullet-riddled showdowns across defunct 

steel mills, forests, and Appalachian 

fracking fi elds. 

Cooper again delivers a timely plot involving 

Wall Street greed, fi nancial corruption, 

and the plight of blue-collar workers. 

Fans of Lee Child’s Jack Reacher and Robert 

Crais’s Elvis Cole will want to add Silas 

Cade to their lineup.

Regina Gottlieb had been warned about 

Professor Nicholas Brodeur long before 

arriving as a graduate student at his prestigious 

university high on a pastoral hill. 

He’s said to lie in the dark in his offi ce 

while undergraduate women read couplets 

to him. He’s condemned on the walls of 

the women’s restroom, and enjoys fi lms by 

Roman Polanski. But no one has warned 

Regina about his exceptional physical 

beauty—or his charismatic, volatile wife. 

My Education is the story of Regina’s 

mistakes, which only begin in the bedroom, 

and end—if they do—fi fteen years 

in the future and thousands of miles away. 

By turns erotic and completely catastrophic, 

Regina’s misadventures demonstrate 

what can happen when the chasm between 

desire and duty is too wide to bridge.

If Rafe Esquith’s Teach Like Your Hair’s on Fire was

feeds the teacher’s soul. In this inspiring book, the 

genius behind the triumphs in Room 56 returns 

with words of wisdom and advice for those who 

struggle day to day in the world’s hardest profession. 

After thirty-plus years in the job, Esquith still 

puts in the countless classroom hours with which 

any dedicated teacher will be instantly familiar. He 

recognizes that new teachers and veteran educators 

need different kinds of nourishment, whether it’s 

encouragement to see through a teacher’s difficult

or novel ideas for how longtime educators can 

put their expertise to work. 

Mixing his trademark offbeat humor and 

no-nonsense maxims with instructive stories and 

useful in-class advice, Esquith proves the perfect 

companion for teachers who need a quick pickme-up, 

a long heart-to-heart, or just a momentary 

reminder that they’re not alone. Real Talk for Real 

Teachers is from-the-hip advice to help teachers of 

every stripe cope with the overwhelming challenges 

of the classroom and beyond.

reenacting dialogue from their favorite 

fi lm, Breathless. 

How a friendship so innocent and 

pure—and so strictly forbidden—could be 

destroyed is a mystery that unfolds across 

Lo’s travels from Berlin to Copenhagen to 

New York, from tryst to tryst, as she seems 

fated to roam the outside world she blames 

for tearing her and Lukas apart. Haunting, 

resonant, full of humor and heartrending 

depth, Breathless explores how childhood 

acts can stake an unimpeachable claim 

on our older selves, and how atonement 

might be wrest from the past.

Jane Austen, arguably the greatest novelist 

of the English language, wrote brilliantly 

about the gentry and aristocracy of two 

centuries ago in her accounts of young 

women looking for love. Jane Austen’s 

England explores the customs and culture 

of the real England of her everyday existence. 

Drawing upon a rich array of contemporary 

sources, including many previously 

unpublished manuscripts, diaries, 

and personal letters, Roy and Lesley Adkins 

vividly portray the daily lives of ordinary 

people, discussing topics as diverse as 

birth, marriage, religion, sexual practices, 

hygiene, highwaymen, and superstitions. 

From chores like fetching water to 

healing with medicinal leeches, from selling 

wives in the marketplace to buying 

smuggled gin, from the hardships faced 

by young boys and girls in the mines to 

the familiar sight of corpses swinging on 

gibbets, Jane Austen’s England off ers an 

authoritative and gripping account that is 

sometimes humorous, often shocking, but 

always entertaining.

From the bestselling author of the battle for america 2008, an inside view and 

analysis of the Obama-Romney presidential race 

Collision 2012 

obama vs. romney and the future of elections in america 

dan balz 

Four years ago, a bright young presidential candidate 

named Barack Obama campaigned on a theme 

of hope and change, and made history. Today, he 

finds himself in another bitter, divisive presidential 

race but without the buzzwords. Instead, an embattled 

president struggles with a dysfunctionally 

divided Congress, the controversial healthcare bill, 

a decade-long war, and a stagnant economy. 

Obama’s Republican challenger, Mitt Romney, 

former corporate tycoon and former governor of 

Massachusetts, faces his own controversies in the 

form of vague policies, fluctuating positions, and 

questions about his business practices in the private 

sector. Romney’s personal fortune and business 

background seemed at odds with the Republican 

praise for The Battle for America 2008 and dan balz: 

“ a broad, savvy overview of the run-up to a historic 

election.” —The New York Times 

“ a polished account refreshingly free of last year’s 

breathless sound bites, pundit insta-reaction or 

fixation on trifling gaffes.” —Time 

“ dan balz goes to the head of the class when the 

subject is presidential campaigns . . . part reporter, 

part historian, and full-time master of his craft.” 

—tom brokaw

base until he named Wisconsin congressman, Tea 

Party darling and fiscal conservative Paul Ryan as 

his running mate. 

Using sources deep inside both campaigns and 

on the campaign trail through primary and battleground 

states, Dan Balz writes with a keen political 

mind and a seasoned reporter’s ear. He traces the 

highs and lows of the Obama presidency as well as 

the ruthless Republican primary as both laid the 

groundwork for one of the most crucial, contentious 

elections of our time. Collision 2012 puts the 

race for the White House in context and explores 

just what the election means for the future of the 

democratic process and America. 

• The Battle for America was a New York Times 

bestseller 

• Dan Balz is one of the political reporters most

looking for me 

a novel 

beth hoffman 

A moving novel of family, hope, loss, and antiques from the 

bestselling author of the beloved Saving CeeCee Honeycutt 

Beth Hoffman’s sparkling bestselling debut Saving 

CeeCee Honeycutt won admirers and acclaim with 

its heartwarming story and cast of unforgettable 

characters. Now, she rekindles her flair for evocative 

Southern settings and the inimitable eccentrics in 

her compelling new novel, Looking for Me. 

Teddi Overman found her life’s passion for 

furniture in a broken-down chair left on the side of 

the road in rural Kentucky. She learns to turn other 

people’s castoffs into beautifully restored antiques, 

and opens her own graciously-appointed shop in 

Charleston. Breathing new life into these discarded 

objects gives Teddi purpose, but has never alleviated 

the haunting uncertainty she’s felt in the years 

From Looking for Me: 

What I remember most vividly was how the legs of that 

old chair poked up from the weed-choked ditch. And 

how, when I pulled it to the side of the road and stood 

it upright, its threadbare seat exhaled a tired puff of 

dust into the air. Even beneath the layers of dirt I could 

see the chair was beautiful. A dining chair I guessed, 

the kind that once sat in a fine home and had seen 

lots of fancy dinner parties, birthday celebrations, 

and holiday feasts. What that chair was doing in a 

rural Kentucky ditch is something I’ll never know, but I 

wanted it something fierce, so I took it. 

Finders’ keepers. 

36 

since her brother Josh’s mysterious disappearance. 

When signs emerge that Josh might still be alive, 

Teddi is drawn home to find him. It’s a journey that 

could help her come to terms with her shattered 

family—and to find herself at last. 

Looking for Me is an unforgettable novel that is 

full of Hoffman’s signature heart and humor—and a 

grown-up love story to boot. It is destined to make 

her a bestselling novelist readers will want to read 

again and again.

the lemon orChard 

a novel 

luanne riCe 

From bestselling author Luanne Rice—a captivating novel of 

love, both enduring and unexpected 

Year after year, Luanne Rice’s fans eagerly await her 

next book. Their enthusiasm is soon to be rewarded 

with The Lemon Orchard, Rice’s new love story between 

two people from seemingly different worlds. 

In the five years since Julia last visited her aunt 

and uncle’s home in Malibu, her life has been turned 

upside down by her daughter’s death. She expects to 

find nothing more than peace and solitude as she 

house-sits with only her dog, Bonnie, for company. 

But she finds herself drawn to the handsome man 

who oversees the lemon orchard. Roberto expertly 

tends the trees, using the money to support his 

extended Mexican family. What connection could 

these two people share? The answer comes as Ro- 

From The Lemon Orchard: 

She understood that the connection with Roberto had to 

do with the flash she’d seen in his eyes when she asked 

if he had children and he seemed unsure of whether 

to answer “yes” or “no.” He’d finally said, “Yes, a 

daughter.” But he looked away from Julia’s eyes the way 

a person does when he’s lying. She did that. She could 

never speak straight to anyone about Jenny. 

38 

berto reveals the heartbreaking story of his own 

loss—a pain Julia knows all too well, but for one 

striking difference: Roberto’s daughter was lost but 

never found. And despite the odds he cannot bear to 

give up hope. 

Set in the sea and citrus-scented air of the 

breathtaking Santa Monica Mountains, The Lemon 

Orchard is an affirming story about the redemptive 

power of compassion and the kind of love that 

seems to find us when we need it most.

the never list 

a novel 

koethi zan 

The most relentless, deeply disturbing thriller writer since 

Jeffery Deaver and Gillian Flynn 

For years, best friends Sarah and Jennifer kept what 

they called the “Never List”: a list of actions to be 

avoided, for safety’s sake, at all costs. But one night, 

against their best instincts, they accept a cab ride 

with grave, everlasting consequences. For the next 

three years, they are held captive with two other 

girls in a dungeon-like cellar. 

Ten years later, at thirty-one, Sarah is still struggling 

to resume a normal life, living as a virtual recluse 

under a new name, unable to come to grips 

with the fact that Jennifer didn’t make it out of that 

cellar. Now, her abductor is up for parole and Sarah 

can no longer ignore the twisted letters he sends 

from jail. 

From The Never List: 

We noticed nothing out of the ordinary until we were in 

the car with our seat belts fastened. There was a funny 

smell, but I shrugged it off, deciding it was within the 

realm of the expected for a local livery company. A 

couple of minutes into the ride, Jennifer had dozed off 

with her head on my shoulder. 

I must have drifted off too because when I opened my 

eyes, we were in total darkness in the backseat, the 

lights of the town replaced by the dim glow of stars. The 

black sedan was hurtling forward on the now-deserted 

highway, with only the faint trace of the horizon ahead. 

This was not the way home. 

40 

Finally, Sarah decides to confront her phobias 

and the other survivors—who hold their own deep 

grudges against her. When she goes on a crosscountry 

chase that takes her into the perverse world 

of BDSM, secret cults, and the arcane study of torture, 

she begins unraveling a mystery more horrifying 

than even she could have imagined. 

A shocking, blazingly fast read, Koethi Zan’s 

debut is a must for fans of Karin Slaughter, Laura 

Lippman, and S.J. Watson.

the thinking woman’s guide 

to real magiC 

a novel 

emily Croy barker 

An imaginative story of a woman caught in an alternate world— 

where she will need to learn the skills of magic to survive 

Nora Fischer’s dissertation is stalled and her boyfriend 

is about to marry another woman. During a 

miserable weekend at a friend’s wedding, Nora wanders 

off and walks through a portal into a different 

world where she’s transformed from a drab grad student 

into a stunning beauty. Before long, she has a 

set of glamorous new friends and her romance with 

gorgeous, masterful Raclin is heating up. It’s almost 

too good to be true. 

Then the elegant veneer shatters. Nora’s new 

fantasy world turns darker, a fairy tale gone incredi- 

From The Thinking Woman’s Guide to Real Magic: 

Nora looked down at herself ruefully; her dress was 

completely soaked. “I don’t suppose you have any magic to 

dry clothes?” 

“Certainly,” Aruendiel said, with a lift of his eyebrows. 

The water trickling out of her clothes picked up momentum; 

she watched the dampness recede down the length of her 

dress. She felt a little queasy and much warmer. “Thank 

you,” she said. 

“I thought you didn’t believe in magic,” the magician said. 

42 

bly wrong. Making it here will take skills Nora never 

learned in graduate school. Her only real ally—and 

a reluctant one at that—is the magician Aruendiel, 

a grim, reclusive figure with a biting tongue and a 

shrouded past. And it will take her becoming Aruendiel’s 

student—and learning magic herself—to 

survive. When a passage home finally opens, Nora 

must weigh her “real life” against the dangerous 

power of love and magic.

8 Cultural Conflicts that make us Who We are 

hazel rose Markus, Ph.D., anD 

alana Conner, Ph.D. 

Are you independent—individual, unique, and in 

control of your world? 

Are you interdependent—relational, similar to 

others, and good at adjusting to situations? 

Or are you both? 

In Clash!, leading cultural psychologists Hazel 

Rose Markus and Alana Conner show us how our 

cultural backgrounds create and reflect these two 

basic ways of being a self, which then shapes everything 

from how we run our governments to how 

we raise our children. 

Markus and Conner also demonstrate how 

clashes between independence and interdependence 

fuel many of today’s most pressing conflicts, 

including tensions between East and West, the 

Global North and Global South, men and women, 

from Clash!: 

Both independence and interdependence are 

legitimate and useful ways to be a person. By 

knowing when and how to use our different selves, 

we can not only better understand the clashes around 

us, but also avoid many of them altogether. 

46 

Blacks and Whites, conservative and liberal, religious 

groups, rich and poor, and businesses, governments,

workplaces, schools, and relationships. For readers 

of The Culture Code by Clotaire Rapaille and The 

Wisdom of Crowds by James Surowiecki, it doesn’t 

just explain who we are, it also envisions who we 

could become.

Why looking up matters 

uP 

How Positive Outlook Can Transform Our Health and Aging 

hilary tinDle, M.D. 

A positive attitude is important, but until now we 

didn’t know how important. In Up, a practicing 

physician and NIH-funded researcher draws on 

her research and experience to show that our outlook 

on life—our unique patterns of thinking and 

feeling about ourselves, others, and the world— 

may be the key to how well and how fast we age. 

From wrinkles to cognitive decline, our outlook 

affects our health at every level. Using the 

framework of outlook GPS, Up illustrates how we 

can gauge our current attitude latitude and move 

to healthier ground. Tindle brings a fresh eye to attitudinal 

traits such as optimism, noting that it has 

many faces, including the face of her own struggling 

optimism. Using the 7 Steps of Attitudinal 

from Up: 

My research joins the ranks of growing findings from 

around the world that point in the same direction: a 

healthy, positive outlook is good medicine. And the 

truth is, we may have more control over our outlook 

than anything else. 

48 

Change that she applies to her own patients, Tindle 

offers us a path toward healthy aging. 

Prescriptive and accessible, Up puts forward 

a paradigm shift in how we age and treat disease, 

giving even the most struggling optimists a chance 

for hope. It will appeal to readers of The Longevity 

Project by Howard S. Friedman and Leslie R. Martin 

as well as The Blue Zones by Dan Buettner. 

• Tindle’s research has been continuously funded 

by NIH since 2002

First aid for failure 

eMotional first aiD 

Practical Strategies for Treating Failure, Rejection, Guilt, and 

Other Everyday Psychological Injuries 

Guy WinCh, Ph.D. 

Although we have bandages for cuts, chicken soup 

for colds, and ice packs for bruises, most of us have 

no idea how to treat day-to-day emotional injuries 

such as failure, rejection, and loss. But, as Guy 

Winch, Ph.D., points out, these kinds of emotional 

injuries often get worse when left untreated and 

can significantly impact our quality of life. In this 

fascinating and highly practical book he provides 

the emotional first aid treatments we have been 

lacking. 

Explaining the long-term fallout that can result 

from seemingly minor emotional and psychological 

injuries, Dr. Winch offers concrete, easy-to-use 

from Emotional First Aid: 

Over the years, I’ve made it a practice to distill

The Hidden Qualities That Make Us Influential 

john neffinGer anD MattheW kohut 

Everyone wants to know how to be more appealing 

and effective, but most of us don’t think we 

can have the charm of a Bill Clinton or an Oprah 

Winfrey. Not only do John Neffinger and Matthew 

Kohut lay waste to the myth that this asset can’t be 

taught, they have drilled it down to its basic components. 

These components are easy to understand— 

strength (the root of respect) and warmth (the root 

of affection)—but the trick is in the execution. 

Drawing on cutting-edge social science research as 

well as their own work with Fortune 500 execu- 

from Compelling People: 

There are many good, practical techniques here to 

project more strength and more warmth. But you are 

not just learning parlor tricks—you are learning how 

to present yourself to the world.

tives, members of Congress, and Nobel Prize winners, 

authors John Neffinger and Matthew Kohut 

demystify the process we use to size each other up 

and help us learn how to be both strong and warm 

so that we can win the admiration, respect, and affection 

we desire. 

Smart and authoritative, Compelling People 

will forever change the way you move through the 

world. It will speak to readers of landmark bestsellers 

like Influence by Robert B. Cialdini as well as 

Made to Stick by Chip and Dan Heath.

V is for Vulnerable looks and feels like a classic 

picture book. But it’s not for kids, it’s for hardworking 

adults. It highlights twenty-six of Seth Godin’s 

principles about treating your work as a form of 

art, with illustrations by acclaimed cartoonist 

Hugh MacLeod. A sample: 

A is for Anxiety, which is experiencing failure in 

advance. Tell yourself enough vivid stories about 

the worst possible outcome and you’ll soon come to 

believe them. Worry is not preparation, and anxiety 

doesn’t make you better. 

F is for Feedback, which can be either a crutch or 

a weapon. Use it to make your work smaller, safer, 

and more likely to please everyone (and fail in the 

long run). Or use it as a lever to further push you to 

embrace what you fear and what you’re capable of. 

This is unlike any previous Godin book and 

makes a great gift, both for loyal fans and those 

who’ve never read him before.

THE 

ICARUS 

DECEPTION 

SETH GODIN 

Bestselling author of Tribes, Linchpin, and Poke the Box 

Everyone knows that Icarus’s father made him 

wings and told him not to fly too close to the sun; 

he ignored the warning and plunged to his doom. 

The lesson: Play it safe. Listen to the experts. It was 

the perfect propaganda for the industrial economy. 

What boss wouldn’t want employees to believe that 

obedience and conformity are the keys to success? 

But we tend to forget that Icarus was also 

warned not to fly too low, because seawater would 

ruin the lift in his wings. Flying too low is even more 

dangerous than flying too high, because it feels deceptively 

safe. 

The safety zone has moved. Conformity no longer 

leads to comfort. But the good news is that creativity 

is scarce and more valuable than ever. So is 

choosing to do something unpredictable and brave: 

Make art. Being an artist isn’t a genetic disposition 

or a specific talent. It’s an attitude we can all 

adopt. It’s a hunger to seize new ground, make connections, 

and work without a map. If you do those 

things you’re an artist, no matter what it says on 

your business card. 

Godin shows us how it’s possible and convinces 

us why it’s essential. 

In Seth Godin’s most inspiring book, he 

challenges readers to find the courage to 

treat their work as a form of art

For a sample, here’s the title post, “Whatcha 

gonna do with that duck?” 

We’re surrounded by people who are busy 

getting their ducks in a row, waiting for just 

the right moment. . . . Getting your ducks in a 

row is a fine thing to do. But deciding what you 

are going to do with that duck is a far more 

important issue.

Preparation is easy to praise but very hard to master. 

No modern coach, in any sport, understands 

that better than NFL veteran Tom Coughlin. He 

led the New York Giants to two Super Bowl victories 

(2008 and 2012) with his system of relentless 

preparation and old-school tough-mindedness. 

He teaches his players that you can never 

guarantee a win, but you can always earn the right 

to win—with focus, consistency, hard work, and 

anticipation of obstacles. And if you’ve earned the 

right to win, you can sleep soundly before a big 

game and take the field with confidence. 

Now Coughlin brings his best advice and anecdotes 

to a wider audience and shows how they 

apply beyond the gridiron. As he likes to say, the 

more you sweat, the less you bleed. He explains his 

attention to detail and his passion for knowing even 

the smallest bits of information that might affect 

a game. He also shows how to build flexibility into 

your plan and prepare for the unexpected. 

Coughlin blends insider stories with practical 

insights from his forty-year career, creating a powerful 

guide for leaders in any field.

stanley McCHrystal retired in 

2010 as a four-star general in the U.S. 

Army. His last assignment was as the 

Commander of all NATO and U.S. forces 

in Afghanistan. He previously served 

as the Director of the Joint Staff and 

as the Commander of the Joint Special 

Operations Command. He is currently 

a Senior Fellow at Yale University’s 

Jackson Institute for Global Affairs and 

the cofounder of the McChrystal Group, a 

leadership consulting firm. 

General Stanley McChrystal’s entire career has been 

guided by his sense of duty, from his first day as a 

West Point plebe in 1972 to his last day as commander 

of U.S. and coalition forces in Afghanistan 

in 2010. 

Starting as a young officer in the post–Vietnam 

era, he faced low morale and seemingly insurmountable 

problems. He served in the 82nd Airborne, 

the Rangers, the 7th Special Forces Group, 

the Joint Staff, and the Joint Special Operations 

Command, among other assignments. Along the 

way he helped lead the reinvention of our military 

for the twenty-first century, against unpredictable 

enemies such as the Taliban and Al Qaeda. 

McChrystal describes the many outstanding 

leaders he learned from as well as events and 

people that influenced him throughout his career. 

He makes a convincing case that weapons, money, 

and strategy are all ultimately less important than 

leadership in determining success, both on and off 

the battlefield. 

His frank and insightful memoir sheds light on 

the major episodes and controversies of his career. 

It will be a must-read not only for military buffs and 

students of foreign affairs, but also for anyone who 

cares about authentic leadership and organizational 

transformation.

Imagine a workplace where everyone is totally engaged 

and contributing their full intellectual capacity; 

where people are healthier and happier because 

they have more control over their work. 

That’s what David Marquet achieved as captain 

of the USS Santa Fe, a nuclear submarine 

dogged by poor morale, poor performance, and the 

worst retention rate in the fleet. He took his ship 

from worst to first in its class by challenging the 

Navy’s traditional leader-follower approach. Instead 

he implemented a new framework he calls 

“leader-leader,” resisting his impulse to take control 

to create something vastly more powerful: an 

entire ship full of leaders. 

Turn the Ship Around! offers powerful 

strategies to apply Marquet’s approach in any 

organization.

The highly anticipated follow-up to Simon Sinek’s global bestseller 

Start with Why 

then DeCiDe Who 

How Great Organizations Inspire People to Give Everything They’ve Got 

siMon sinek 

Simon Sinek is an optimist, a visionary thinker, and a leader of 

the cultural revolution of WHY. His second book is the natural 

extension of Start with Why, expanding his ideas at the organizational 

level. Determining a company’s WHY is crucial, but 

only the beginning. The next step is how do you get people on 

board with your WHY? How do you inspire deep trust and commitment 

to the company and one another? 

He cites the Marine Corps for having found a way to build 

a culture in which men and women are willing to risk their 

lives, because they know others would do the same for them. 

Praise for Start with Why: 

“ A powerful and penetrating exploration of what 

separates great companies and great leaders from 

the rest. Too many leaders (and authors) go looking 

for authenticity in all the wrong places—Sinek takes 

you directly to the source.” 

—Polly LaBarre, coauthor of Mavericks at Work 

“ Start with Why is one of the most useful and 

powerful books I’ve read in years. Simple and 

elegant, it shows us how leaders should lead.” 

—William Ury, coauthor of Getting to Yes 

60 

It’s not brainwashing; it’s actually based on the biology of 

how and when people are naturally at their best. If businesses 

could adopt this supportive mentality, employees would be 

more motivated to take bigger risks, because they’d know 

their colleagues and company would back them up, no matter 

what. 

Drawing on powerful and inspiring stories, Sinek shows 

how to sustain an organization’s WHY while continually adding 

people to the mix.

A management manifesto from the acclaimed author of 

Car Guys vs. Bean Counters 

iCons anD iDiots 

Straight Talk on Leadership 

bob lutz 

When Bob Lutz retired from GM, after a forty-seven-year career 

in the car industry, he was one of the most revered leaders 

in his field. His previous book, Car Guys vs. Bean Counters, 

recounted his work to revitalize GM and restore drive and passion 

to the industry. 

Now Lutz profiles the leaders—good, bad, and ugly— 

who made the strongest impression on him throughout his 

career. With a collection of shocking and sometimes hilarious 

anecdotes, he creates an entertaining manual of dos and 

don’ts for the aspiring leader. 

The bizarre foibles and rank stupidity of many 

of his bosses were hardly unique to the car business. 

Praise for Car Guys vs. Bean Counters: 

“ The best book written by an auto industry insider since Iacocca in 1984, 

and deserves to be shelved alongside Alfred P. Sloan’s management classic, 

My Years with General Motors.” —Fortune 

“ One of the most acute books about management and how companies work in 

practice that I have read in a long time. If anyone wants to know exactly how 

the U.S. auto industry got into trouble, here is your guide.” 

—Financial Times 

“ This book should be required reading for every young person who seeks a 

business degree. That applies equally to the current management of GM.” 

—David E. Davis Jr., former editor of Car and Driver and Automobile magazines 

62 

Lutz summarizes the positive leadership principles 

demonstrated or ignored by his bosses and shows what the 

rest of us can learn from them. 

For instance, here’s Lutz on legendary Chrysler CEO Lee 

Iacocca: “I find it hard to comprehend a leader who feels 

threatened by subordinates who offer an honest opinion, who 

aren’t (dangerous) yes-men, who will steer the boss in the 

right direction. But beneath the commanding stage presence, 

the brilliant performances on TV, the boldness of his public 

statements, there was a side to Lee that was vulnerable and 

insecure.”

MiCHael e. raynor is a director 

at Deloitte Services LLP, where he 

explores corporate strategy, innovation, 

and growth with clients in a variety 

of industries. He is the coauthor, with 

Clayton Christensen, of The Innovator’s 

Solution, and the author of the critically 

acclaimed The Strategy Paradox and 

The Innovator’s Manifesto. 

MuMtaz aHMeD is a strategy 

practitioner in Deloitte Consulting LLP 

and the chief strategy officer of Deloitte 

LLP, responsible for the firm’s strategy, 

corporate development, innovation, 

eminence, and brand. 

Every industry has had outliers that deliver superior 

performance over the long run, despite facing the 

same constraints as competitors. In the pharmaceutical 

industry, it’s Merck; in retail, it’s Abercrombie 

& Fitch; in appliances, Maytag. What do these 

companies do differently? 

Drawing on Deloitte’s insights and analysis 

of almost 25,000 companies spanning forty-five 

years, the authors identified 394 companies that 

are true long-term standouts in every kind of industry—medical 

devices, trucking, semiconductors, 

even discount stores. Using cutting-edge statistical 

analysis coupled with detailed case studies, they 

discovered that what sets those companies apart is 

not just how they act, but how they think. 

Exceptional companies, when faced with 

tough choices, follow three rules: 

1. Better before cheaper. They rarely compete 

on price. 

2. Revenue before cost. They drive profits through 

price and volume, not thrift. 

3. There are no other rules. Everything else is up 

for grabs. 

Raynor and Ahmed explain how executives 

can apply these rules to their organizations to take 

control of their destinies and deliver exceptional 

long-term performance.

Whatever you want to do with your life, you must 

master new skills. But where can you find the time? 

You are already busy—much too busy to spend the 

ten thousand hours authors like Malcolm Gladwell 

claim you’ll need to master a new skill. Moreover, 

the early hours of practicing something new are 

always the most frustrating: If you can’t make it 

through the first twenty hours, you’ll never get to 

ten thousand. 

Josh Kaufman offers a systematic approach 

for acquiring new skills quickly with a small amount 

of practice each day. He shows how to deconstruct 

complex skills, maximize productive practice, and 

remove common learning barriers, creating a realistic 

framework for drastically cutting the time it 

takes to acquire any skill. 

Kaufman invites readers to join him as he field 

tests his approach by learning to program a Web 

application, play the ukulele, practice yoga, get the 

hang of windsurfing, create illustrations, and study 

the world’s oldest and most complex board game.

Once thought to be nothing more than diversions for 

children and nerds, games have become an integral 

part of everyday life. Educators are trying to make 

learning more fun by introducing games into the 

classroom while cutting-edge managers are doing 

the same in the workplace. Doctors, scientists, and 

entrepreneurs are deploying games to help solve 

some of the world’s most pressing problems. 

But according to Adam Penenberg, it’s not the 

games themselves that improve our lives, but rather 

smart game design and its impact on the brain 

that can lead us to become immersed in a task we 

find enjoyable. The individuals and institutions that 

have used games to achieve this effect are often 

rewarded with astounding results. 

Drawing on the latest brain science on attention

les golD has spent the last forty 

years as a Detroit pawnbroker. He owns 

the fifty-thousand square foot American 

Jewelry and Loan, which serves more 

than two hundred and fifty customers 

every hour. He also stars in the TruTV 

show Hardcore Pawn, now in its seventh 

season with more than two-and-a-half 

million weekly viewers. He lives in 

Detroit and works alongside his wife, 

son, and daughter. 

Les Gold has been in business since age twelve, 

when he started selling used golf clubs from his 

dad’s basement. Now he’s Detroit’s biggest pawnshop 

owner and the star of the hit reality TV show 

Hardcore Pawn. 

As a third generation pawnbroker, he grew up 

dealing with customers who could be unruly and 

violent as often as they were friendly. He got good 

at selling just about anything, and at making sure 

he only bought items for what they were worth. His 

book reveals his rags to riches journey, as he grew 

his shop, and how we can all be more successful by 

thinking like a pawnbroker. 

As Gold writes, “Businesses these days talk 

a lot about figuring out what the customer wants. 

Well, here’s your first lesson: The customer doesn’t 

know what he wants. This book is going to show you 

how to convince him he wants the thing you’re selling.”

Bo Burlingham’s book Small Giants became an 

instant classic for its original take on a common 

business problem—how to handle the pressure to 

grow. It used deeply researched entrepreneurship 

stories to provide fresh insight into what really 

makes a great small business. 

Now Burlingham returns with a look at an even 

more common problem—how to leave your company 

gracefully. He interviewed dozens of owners 

who have sold or bequeathed their companies and 

distilled nine key lessons for success. 

For example, Ray Pagano turned down an 

initial offer for his twenty-eight-year-old company 

that manufactured housings for security cameras 

in favor of making the business more efficient and 

profitable. The effort paid off when he sold his newly 

improved company at the bottom of a recession for 

four times the original offer. 

Through stories like Pagano’s, Burlingham 

offers an inspirational and enlightening guide 

through one of the most stressful processes every 

business owner must face.

DaviD lefer is a writer, historian, 

and professor at New York University’s 

Polytechnic Institute, where he directs 

the Innovation and Technology Forum. 

Previously, he worked for New York 

Daily News, the China News in Taiwan, 

and as a coproducer of the PBS talk 

show The Digital Age. For five years, he 

collaborated with Sir Harold Evans in 

the writing and research of They Made 

America, the bestselling history of 

American innovation. 

A nation at war. A real estate crash and financial 

meltdown. Bitter partisan disputes over taxation, 

the distribution of wealth, and the role of banks and 

corporations in society. Welcome to the world of the 

founding fathers. 

According to most narratives of the American 

Revolution, the founders were united in their vision. 

But according to historian David Lefer, political 

disagreements split the new nation in two. Had 

it not been for a few individuals who exercised a 

pragmatic conservatism that valued capitalism, a 

strong military, and the preservation of tradition, 

our country would be vastly different today. 

Drawing on years of archival research, Lefer 

tells the untold story of how these men not only 

saved the Revolution but also helped define American 

conservatism and create the foundations for 

our economy. America’s first banks and corporations 

would not have been possible without the bold 

and idealistic efforts of the first conservatives. 

This is more than just a fascinating story; it 

is also a new perspective on the birth of a free and 

prosperous nation.

Within the first billion years after this planet formed, 

a spark of life spontaneously ignited, turning inanimate 

chemicals into what we now would recognize 

as a living thing: a cell. Four billion years later, science 

has catalogued more than a million species. 

Science writer Adam Rutherford shows how 

unprecedented advances in our understanding of 

life have equipped us with the ability to create entirely 

new life-forms: goats that produce spider silk 

in their milk, bacteria that excrete diesel, genetic 

codes that identify and destroy cancer cells. This 

new synthetic biology is poised to offer radical new 

solutions to the crises of food shortage, pandemic 

disease, and climate change. 

By charting the history of our evolution, questioning 

what life really is, and identifying the milestones 

in our understanding of biological processes, 

Rutherford shows how this frontier of science will 

kickstart an industrial revolution that will dominate 

the rest of this century. 

How scientists are closer than ever to not 

only uncovering the mystery of how life was 

created, but to replicating that moment

When Shirley Dygert’s parachute didn’t open, the 

fifty-four-year-old novice and her instructor, Dave 

Hartsock, were free-falling from five thousand feet. 

Hartsock made a fateful decision, rotating their 

joint harness and placing himself directly beneath 

Dygert. They hit the ground with a sickening crunch. 

Hartsock was paralyzed from the neck down. He had 

sacrificed himself for someone he’d just met. 

What makes a hero? Researchers are now applying 

the lens of science to study heroism for the 

first time. How do biology, upbringing, and outside 

influences intersect to produce altruistic and heroic 

behavior? And how can we encourage this behavior 

in corporations, classrooms, and individuals? 

Using dozens of fascinating real-life examples, 

Svoboda explains how our genes compel us to 

do good for others; how going through suffering is 

linked to heroism; and how acting heroic can greatly 

improve your mental health. She reveals how we 

can best encourage our most heroic selves to step 

forward.

What makes an athlete a superstar? We’d tend to 

assume they are either genetic freaks, put on Earth 

to play a particular sport, or they are normal people 

who by sheer force of will and obsessive training 

overcame their innate biology. 

But the truth is far messier than a simple dichotomy 

between nature and nurture. David Epstein 

shows why it is highly unlikely that so-called genetic 

freaks are singularly endowed with superior athletic 

prowess, and just as unlikely that individuals 

with few or none of the requisite athletic genes will 

be great, no matter how hard they work. In short, 

the nature means little without the nurture, and 

vice versa. Epstein also explores some controversial 

questions, such as: 

Are black athletes genetically predetermined to 

dominate both sprinting and distance running? 

Can we test the genes of young children to determine 

if they will be top athletes? 

Are men and women programmed to practice in 

different ways? 

Epstein combines groundbreaking genetics research 

with an engaging narrative approach.

A major and sometimes controversial figure of the Harlem Renaissance, Countee 

Cullen fused a mastery of the formal lyric with a passionate engagement with 

themes social, religious, racial, and personal in such books as Color, Copper Sun, and 

The Black Christ. Certain of his poems—“Heritage,” “Yet Do I Marvel”—are widely

to print a body of work of singular intensity and beauty.

One of the most influential American poets of the twentieth century, Gwendolyn 

Brooks distilled modernist style through the sounds and shapes of a variety of African 

American forms and idioms. Poet Elizabeth Alexander, an expert on African American 

literature and culture, presents a sweeping selection of Brooks’s poetry that moves 

from her earliest works—including many of her important World War II poems— 

through the social and aesthetic upheavals of the 1960s up to her death in 2000. 

elizabetH alexanDer, eDitor, is a poet and critic whose books include The Venus 

Hottentot, Body of Life, Antebellum Dream Brook, and American Sublime, and the essay 

collections The Black Interior and Power and Possibility. She is a professor at Yale University.

Walter Wellesley “Red” Smith was the most widely 

read sportswriter of the last century and the first 

to win the Pulitzer Prize for commentary. From the 

1940s to the 1980s, his nationally syndicated columns 

for the New York Herald Tribune and later for 

The New York Times traversed the world of sports 

with literary panache and wry humor. “I’ve always 

had the notion,” Smith once said, “that people go to 

spectator sports to have fun and then they grab the 

paper to read about it and have fun again.” Now, 

writer and editor (and inventor of Rotisserie League 

Baseball) Daniel Okrent presents the best of Smith’s 

inimitable columns—miniature masterpieces that 

remain the gold standard in sportswriting. Unforgettable 

accounts of legendary events—Bobby 

Thompson’s Shot Heard ’Round the World, Don 

Larsen’s perfect game in the 1956 World Series, the 

first Ali-Frazier fight—join more personal glimpses 

into Smith’s life and work, including his lifelong 

passion for fishing, and “My Press-Box Memoirs,”

the first time.

Praise for Dashiell Hammett: 

“ An invaluable collection.” 

—Kirkus 

“ If hard-boiled is your game, 

Hammett’s still the name.” 

—The Detroit Free Press 

steven MarCus, a distinguished 

literary critic and cultural historian, is 

George Delacorte Professor Emeritus in 

the Humanities at Columbia University. 

He edited the historic collection of 

Hammett stories, The Continental Op, and 

is the author of many books including 

The Other Victorians and Engels, 

Manchester, and the Working Class. 

Here, for the first time in a deluxe collector’s box, 

is the most comprehensive edition ever published 

of the hard-boiled crime fiction of Dashiell Hammett. 

In a few years of extraordinary creative energy, 

Hammett invented the modern American crime 

novel. Complete Novels, the first of two volumes in 

this set, presents five groundbreaking books—Red 

Harvest, The Dain Curse, The Maltese Falcon, The 

Glass Key, and The Thin Man— whose gritty, lean 

prose won admiration from such contemporaries 

as Gertrude Stein, Ernest Hemingway, and William 

Faulkner. 

In the stories he wrote for Black Mask and other 

pulp magazines in the 1920s and 1930s, Hammett 

used the vernacular adventure tale to register the 

jarring textures and revved-up cadences of modern 

America. Crime Stories & Other Writings presents 

twenty-four of these classic tales, along with revealing 

essays and an early, unfinished version of 

his novel The Thin Man. The texts, reprinted here for 

the first time, are those that appeared originally in 

the pulps, without the revisions introduced by later 

editors.

This landmark two-volume anthology chronicles 

more than thirty tumultuous years in the African 

American struggle for freedom and equal rights. 

Here, in brilliant and inspiring dispatches from 

some of the finest reporters in the history of American 

journalism, is a panoramic portrait of the fight 

to overthrow segregation in the United States. 

Nearly 200 newspaper and magazine reports, book 

excerpts, and features by 151 writers—David Halberstam, 

Carl Rowan, Robert Penn Warren, Gordon 

Parks, Ralph Ellison, and Anne Moody among 

them—provide vivid firsthand accounts of all the 

revolutionary events: the rising activism of the 

1940s; the Brown decision; the Montgomery bus 

boycott; Little Rock; the sit-in movement and Freedom 

Rides; Birmingham, the March on Washington 

(August 28, 1963), Freedom Summer, and Selma; 

and the emergence of “Black Power.” Each volume 

contains a detailed chronology of the civil rights 

movement, biographical profiles of the journalists, 

notes, an index, and thirty-two pages of photographs, 

many never before published.

screwed 

A Novel 

eoin colfer 

The second crime novel by internationally bestselling writer 

Eoin Colfer is a gritty and utterly compelling follow-up to the 

critically acclaimed Plugged. In Screwed, Colfer adds an entirely 

new chapter to the adventures and misadventures of 

Daniel McEvoy, the down-on-his-luck Irish bouncer at a seedy 

New Jersey bar who, with the help of a motley crew of unlikely 

characters, solved a bizarre string of murders—including the 

one of the girl he loved. But people around him continue to 

die mysteriously, and Daniel is called into action once again. 

Praise for Plugged: 

“ Dominated, driven, and fully animated by a 

refreshingly original voice . . . Great writing.” 

—Lisa Scottoline, The Washington Post 

“ Incomparably clever and witty . . . Has a Quentin 

Tarantino-meets-Carl Hiaasen quality.” 

—Los Angeles Times 

“ Lots of bloody fun.” 

—The New York Times Book Review 

78 

Colfer, beloved by millions for his Artemis Fowl series, has 

written a riveting and relentlessly paced sequel that is sure 

to garner international praise. With wildly inventive imagination 

and head-spinning plot twists, Screwed is a tour de force 

that rivals Carl Hiaasen at his very best. Ridley Pearson called 

Plugged “a brilliant, madcap mystery” and “genius at work.” 

With Screwed, Colfer delivers that signature brilliance once 

again.

A tender and heartbreaking debut novel about F. Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald’s 

final days together 

beautiful fools 

The Last Affair of Zelda and Scott Fitzgerald 

r. clifton spargo 

In this evocative and meticulously detailed novel about 

the last romance of one of America’s greatest literary couples, 

R. Clifton Spargo brings to life an exhilarating portrait of the 

passionate yet tragic relationship between F. Scott and Zelda 

Fitzgerald. 

In 1939 Scott is living in Hollywood, deeply in debt and 

struggling to write the novel that he hopes will reclaim his 

name. Despite his relationship with glamorous gossip columnist 

Sheilah Graham, he remains fiercely loyal to Zelda, 

his soul mate and muse. In an attempt to fuse together their 

fractured marriage, Scott arranges a trip to Cuba, where, after 

witnessing a violent crime on their first night in Havana, 

Praise for R. Clifton Spargo: 

“ Spargo’s emotionally gripping stories are smart, 

taut, and unpredictable. He’s a welcome new voice 

in American fiction.” 

— Tom Perrotta, author of Election and Little 

Children 

“ Spargo’s voice is entirely his own and is capable 

of articulating certain ranges of contemporary 

experience only rarely now available to us . . . 

Much of his work seems to me marked for 

permanence.” —Harold Bloom 

80 

the couple flees to a beach resort outside the city. But even 

in paradise, Scott and Zelda cannot escape the dangerous 

intensity of their relationship. Both cling desperately to their 

memories of the twenties—when Scott was a literary celebrity 

and Zelda was the quintessential flapper—and the voyage 

inevitably exposes their lost innocence, lending poignancy to 

this last chapter of one of history’s most enduring love stories. 

In Beautiful Fools, R. Clifton Spargo gives us a vivid, resplendent, 

and truly human portrait of the Fitzgeralds, and 

reveals the heartbreaking patterns and unexpected moments 

of tenderness that characterize a great romance in decline.

Six high school girls are fated to create the perfect circle of witches to defeat an 

ancient supernatural evil in the spellbinding first installment of the Engelsfors Trilogy 

the CirCle 

The Engelsfors Trilogy—Book One 

sara b. elfGren anD Mats stranDberG 

translated from the swedish by Per Carlsson 

On a night after the apparent suicide of high school student 

Elias Malmgren, a blood-red moon fills the night sky. Minoo 

wakes up outside her house, still in her pajamas, and is drawn 

by an invisible force to an abandoned theme park on the outskirts 

of town. Soon five of her classmates—Vanessa, Linnéa, 

Anna-Karin, Rebecka and Ida—arrive, compelled the same 

force. A mystical being takes over Ida’s body and tells them 

they are fated to fight an ancient evil that is hunting them. 

The park is a safe haven; the school, a place of danger. The 

six are wildly different and definitely not friends . . . but they 

are the Chosen Ones. 

As the weeks pass, each girl practices her special power; 

Vanessa can become invisible; Anna-Karin, now the most 

popular girl in school, discovers her gift for mind control; 

Praise for The Circle: 

“ Rightly destined to be the next cult read.” 

—The Telegraph 

“ The Circle . . . reads like The Demon Headmaster 

set in a Swedish Twin Peaks with a nod to Stieg 

Larsson.” —The Observer 

82 

Rebecka can light fires through magic. Minoo’s power is yet 

to be revealed. They are not all firmly committed to their mission—to 

discover the truth about Elias’s death. But then 

there is a second death, of one of their circle… Now determined 

to fight the evil forces, they begin to learn magic from 

The Book of Patterns, an ancient work with a will of its own 

that reveals different things to different witches. 

In this gripping first installment of the Engelsfors Trilogy, 

a parallel world emerges in which teenage dreams, insanely 

annoying parents, bullying, revenge, and love collide with 

flirtation, dangerous forces, and ancient magic. An international

By the acclaimed author of Frida and Sister Teresa, I 

Am Venus chronicles the scandalous affair between 

the great Baroque Spanish painter Diego Velázquez 

and a young model who became his Venus—and 

the grave consequences of their love. 

In seventeenth-century Spain, Diego Velázquez 

quickly rises from an obscure artist to the official 

court painter for King Philip IV. Now a prominent 

member of the court, Velázquez becomes increasingly 

immersed in a world of political rivalry, malicious 

gossip, and indiscriminate cruelty. Told from 

the point of view of the model who posed for one 

of Velázquez’s most famous works, I Am Venus is 

a seductive tale of jealousy, betrayal, loss, and 

ambition.

If you share most of the same genetic material, 

what makes you so different from your siblings? 

How much are the things you choose to do everyday—what 

you eat, how you vote, who you love— 

determined by your genes, and how much is your 

own free will? Using fascinating case studies of 

identical twins, leading geneticist Tim Spector explains 

how even real-life “clones” with the same 

upbringing turn out in reality to be very different. 

Drawing on his own cutting-edge research 

in genetics, Spector show us that nothing is completely 

hard-wired or pre-ordained. Challenging, 

enlightening and entertaining, Identically Different 

explores topics as varied as why the Dutch have become 

the tallest nation in the world, why autism is 

more heritable than breast cancer, and what could 

cause a healthy man to have a heart attack within 

weeks of his overweight, heavy-smoking identical 

twin. Spector’s probing and thoughtful study helps 

us to understand what makes each of us so unique.

By the author of the international bestseller Centurion, the new Macro and Cato 

Roman Legion novel in the tradition of Bernard Cornwell 

the GlaDiator 

A Novel of the Roman Legion 

siMon sCarroW 

As an author, Simon Scarrow is fast becoming a worldwide 

phenomenon. His Roman Legion series chronicling the adventures 

of centurions Macro and Cato has been met with near 

universal acclaim, drawing comparisons to the best of his 

contemporaries. 

In The Gladiator, Macro and Cato are returning to Rome 

from a harrowing campaign against the Parthians when their 

transport ship is almost capsized by a freak tidal wave. They 

barely make it to the port of Matala in Crete where they are 

stunned to find a devastated town. An earthquake has struck 

the island, destroying its cities and killing thousands. In the 

Praise for Simon Scarrow: 

“ I really don’t need this kind of competition.” 

—Bernard Cornwell 

“ Scarrow manages to summon up all the glory and 

the gore that characterized life in the Roman 

legions. Outstanding military history from a 

relatively new master of the genre.” 

—Booklist 

“ A combustible concoction of intrigue, treachery, 

and violence . . . Scarrow’s combat is brutal and 

sanguinary; his imperial politics are almost as 

sharp.” —Publishers Weekly 

88 

chaotic aftermath, large bands of the island’s slaves begin to 

revolt and local bandits, taking advantage of the slave rebellion, 

urge the Cretans to overthrow the Roman administration. 

With many of the island’s troops either killed or wounded, the 

governor of the province calls on Macro and Cato for help. 

Can they move swiftly enough to counter the rebellion before it 

sweeps the Romans from the island? 

A master of his craft, Simon Scarrow combines stunning 

historical detail with riveting battles and rich characters to 

bring the Roman Empire to life as never before.

A sweeping, provocative new history of the city and the times that ignited 

America’s Civil War 

aMeriCa’s lonGest sieGe 

Charleston, Slavery, and the Slow March Toward Civil War 

josePh kelly 

In 1863, Union forces surrounded the city of Charleston. Their 

vice-like grip on the harbor would hold the city hostage for 

nearly two years, becoming the longest siege in the history of 

modern warfare. But for almost two centuries prior, a singular 

ideology forged among the headstrong citizens of Charleston 

had laid a different sort of siege to a complicit American 

South—the promulgation of the brutal, deplorable, and immensely 

profitable institution of slavery. 

In America’s Longest Siege, Joseph Kelly examines the 

nation’s long struggle with its “peculiar institution” through 

the hotly contested debates in the city at the center of the 

from America’s Longest Siege: 

Charleston was completely unaware. There was hardly reason to think the 

Confederacy would lose this war. Vicksburg had not yet fallen. Gettysburg, which 

blunted Robert E. Lee’s gambit to win the war, was still an unknown town in 

Pennsylvania. Fifty miles to the south of Charleston, the most potent fleet of ships 

ever assembled in the history of the world was gathering at Port Royal, building 

strength for its assault on Charleston, but no Southerner saw it yet. No one saw the 

twenty thousand Federal troops—including the 54th Massachusetts regiment of 

African Americans—assembling on the barrier islands south of Charleston. 

90 

slave trade. From the earliest slave rebellions to the Nullification 

crisis to the final, tragic act of secession that doomed 

both the city and the South as a whole, Kelly captures the toxic 

mix of nationalism, paternalism, and unprecedented wealth 

that made Charleston the focus of the nationwide debate over 

slavery. Kelly also explores the dissenters who tried—and ultimately 

failed—to stop the oncoming Civil War. 

Exhaustingly researched and compulsively readable, 

America’s Longest Siege offers an insightful new take on the 

war and the culture that made it inevitable.

josePH kelly is a professor of literature at the College of Charleston 

and a member of the American Studies Association. He is the author of 

Our Joyce and the editor of W. W. Norton’s Seagull Readers series. His 

historical writing has appeared in the Journal of Social History and other 

publications. He lives in Charleston, South Carolina.

The bestselling expert on the occult posits a thrilling theory of world history 

as influenced by the spirit world 

WhisPerers 

The Secret History of the Spirit World 

j. h. brennan 

Is it possible that major world events are affected by spirits— 

even if one doesn’t believe in them? Can it be that everything 

from decisions about peace and war to the food we eat and 

the gods we pray to may have roots in the disembodied voices 

whispering in the ears of popes and prophets, politicians and 

prime ministers, dictators and kings? It may seem incredible, 

but as J. H. Brennan reveals in this eye-opening new history, 

there is a wealth of evidence to suggest that such whisperings 

are not only possible, but that they have occurred again and 

again, subtly directing the course of human events. 

In Whisperers, bestselling novelist and leading expert 

on the occult J. H. Brennan explores how the “spirit world”— 

from Whisperers: 

Spirit contact lies at the heart of almost every 

ancient religion, including those of the classical 

civilizations that laid down the intellectual and 

political foundations of our twenty-first century 

world. It appears in the visions of prophets and 

psychics whose doctrines are accepted by men and 

women in positions of power. It arises, often heavily 

disguised, in systems of modern psychology and the 

experiences of individuals moved to experiment with 

mind-altering drugs or mystical techniques. Whether 

we realize it or not, your life and mine have been 

profoundly influenced by voices from the Beyond. 

92 

whether we believe in it or not—has influenced our own since 

the dawn of civilization. With a novelist’s flair and a scholar’s 

keen eye, Brennan details the supernatural affinities of world 

leaders from King Nebuchadnezzar to Adolf Hitler, showing 

how the decisions and policies of each have been shaped by 

their supernatural beliefs and encounters. Brennan also examines 

the impact of visions, from Shamanism in native cultures 

to prophets such as Joan of Arc. Chronicling millennia 

of contact between the spirit world and our own, Whisperers 

presents an entirely new and different way to look at history.

The extraordinary science, troubled history, and revolutionary possibility of 

nuclear fusion by a top science journalist 

a PieCe of the sun 

The Quest for Fusion Energy 

Daniel Clery 

The globalizing, industrializing world has an insatiable demand 

for energy, but conventional sources are running out. 

Oil and coal are burning away, yet solar, wind, and water are 

decades from providing a replacement, if they ever will. The 

solution, says Daniel Clery in this deeply researched and revelatory 

book, is to be found in the original energy source, the 

Sun itself. There, at its center, the fusion of 620 million metric 

tons of hydrogen nuclei every second generates an unfathomable 

amount of energy. By harnessing even a tiny piece of this, 

mankind can secure all the heat and power we would ever 

need to survive. 

The simple yet extraordinary ambition of nuclear-fusion 

scientists has garnered many skeptics but, as A Piece of the 

Sun makes clear, large-scale nuclear fusion is scientifically 

from A Piece of the Sun: 

We owe everything to fusion. Our own Sun and every 

star that shines in the night sky are powered by 

fusion. Without it, the cosmos would be dark, cold, 

and lifeless. Fusion fills the universe with light and 

heat and allows life to happen, on Earth and perhaps 

elsewhere. The Earth itself, the air we breathe and the 

very stuff we are made of are the products of fusion. 

94 

possible—and perhaps even preferable to other options. Despite 

the recent high profile nuclear accident at Fukushima 

Daiishi and lingering Cold War-era reticence toward nuclear 

power among much of the general public, Clery passionately 

and eloquently argues that the only thing keeping us from 

harnessing this cheap, clean and renewable energy is our own 

shortsightedness and folly. A new, safer, and tightly regulated 

nuclear industry could be the answer to all our energy woes. 

Timely and authoritative, A Piece of the Sun is an accessible, 

rousing wake-up call to change how we think about energy.

Daniel Clery received a degree in theoretical physics from York 

University. For over two decades, he has edited and written for top 

science magazines all around the world, including Physics World, 

New Scientist, and Science. In 1993, he was named the news editor 

for Science magazine in Europe, and has covered many of the biggest 

science news stories of our time.

The first biography of arguably the most provocative and mysterious artist 

of the twentieth century 

henry DarGer, 

throW-aWay boy 

The Tragic Life of an Outsider Artist 

jiM elleDGe 

Henry Darger was utterly unknown during his lifetime, keeping 

a quiet, secluded existence as a janitor on Chicago’s North 

Side. When he died his landlord discovered a treasure trove 

of more than three hundred canvases and more than 30,000 

manuscript pages depicting a rich, shocking fantasy world— 

many showing hermaphroditic children being eviscerated, 

crucified and strangled. 

While some art historians tend to dismiss Darger as an 

unhinged psychopath, in Henry Darger, Throw-Away Boy, Jim 

Elledge cuts through the cloud of controversy and rediscovers 

Darger as a damaged, fearful, gay man, raised in a world 

unaware of the consequences of child abuse or gay shame. 

from Henry Darger, Throw-Away Boy: 

I read everything Darger had written—all three of his novels, his journals, 

his autobiography, as well as his bank account books, greeting cards sent 

to him, and scraps of paper on which he wrote notes to himself—and 

studied all of his paintings that had been reprinted in books or that I 

could find in galleries, museums, and online. During that ten-year period, 

among the thousands of pages that I read, I discovered the key to the 

meaning of the eviscerated children and to the little girls with penises. 

All I—or anyone else, for that matter—had to do was look for them. 

96 

This thoughtful, sympathetic biography tells the true story 

of a tragically misunderstood artist. Drawn from fascinating 

histories of the vice-ridden districts of 1900s Chicago, tens of 

thousands of pages of primary source material, and Elledge’s 

own work in queer history, the book also features a full-color 

reproduction of a never-before-seen canvas from a private 

gallery in New York, as well as a previously undiscovered photograph 

of Darger with his life-partner Whillie. 

Engaging and arresting, Henry Darger, Throw-Away Boy 

brings alive a complex, brave, and compelling man whose 

outsider art is both challenging and a triumph over trauma.

jiM elleDge is the award-winning author and editor of twenty-two 

books, including a textbook on publishing, four anthologies on queer 

culture, and numerous poetry collections and chapbooks. He is currently 

director of the M.A. in Professional Writing Program at Kennesaw State 

University. He lives outside of Atlanta, Georgia.

Praise for 

From Hand to Mouth: 

“ Provocative . . . A captivating 

story.” 

—The New York Times 

“ Informative and entertaining.” 

—American Scientist 

MiCHael C. Corballis is professor 

emeritus of psychology at the University 

of Auckland. An outstanding science 

communicator, he is the author of From 

Hand to Mouth: The Origins of Language 

(2003) and most recently The Recursive 

Mind: The Origins of Human Language, 

Thought, and Civilization (2011). 

Why do we remember faces but not names? If your 

brain were cut in half would you suffer more than 

a splitting headache? How does your dog remember 

where it buried its bone, but you can’t find your 

keys? And do we really only use ten percent of our 

brains? In A Very Short Tour of the Mind, Michael 

C. Corballis answers these questions and more. The 

human mind is arguably the most complex organ in 

the universe. 

Modern computers might be faster, and 

whales might have larger brains, but neither can 

match the sheer intellect or capacity for creativity 

that we humans enjoy. In this gem of a book, 

Corballis introduces us to what we’ve learned about 

the intricacies of the human brain over the last fifty 

years. Leading us through behavioral experiments 

and neuroscience, cognitive theory and Darwinian 

evolution with his trademark wit and wisdom, Corballis 

punctures a few hot-air balloons (“Unleash 

the creativity of your right brain!”) and explains just 

what we know—and don’t know—about our own 

minds.

When Peter Stothard, editor of the Times Literary 

Supplement, finds himself stranded in Alexandria in 

the winter of 2010 after his flight to South Africa has 

been canceled, he sets out to explore a nation on the 

brink of revolution. Guided by two native Egyptians, 

Stothard traces his own life-long interest in the history 

of Cleopatra, and his repeated failure to write 

the book about her that he had always wanted to. 

In Alexandria, part memoir and part travel literature, 

Stothard uses the sights and sounds of the 

ancient city to reconnect with the formative experiences 

of his childhood education and his literary 

career. Melancholy and often humorous, Alexandria 

offers a first-hand glimpse into the fracturing police 

state of Honsi Mubarak, before the uprising in 

Tahrir Square changed everything.

In Movies Without Baggage, longtime filmmaker 

Alain Silver shows how twenty-first-century technology 

makes it possible to produce high-quality, 

full-length feature films for less than $50,000, 

$25,000, or even $10,000. 

There has never been a book like this written 

by a filmmaker with so much experience on both 

sides of the camera. Silver covers everything from 

finding/creating the right script; budgeting, casting, 

and signing contracts; scheduling, crewing, 

and shooting; post-production; and finally marketing 

and securing distribution. Richly illustrated 

with stills from his own ultra-low-budget films, 

Movies Without Baggage is the ultimate guide for 

the aspiring guerilla filmmaker.

P. G. Wodehouse is recognized as the greatest English 

comic writer of the twentieth century, rightly 

admired throughout the world and translated into 

more than thirty languages. Launched on the twenty-fifth 

anniversary of his death, this series presents 

each Overlook Wodehouse as the finest edition 

of the master’s work ever published—beautifully 

designed and faithful to the original. 

This season, Overlook is pleased to offer the 

latest two hilarious novels, The White Feather, a 

school story, and French Leave, a classic Wodehouse 

tale of mixed up lovers and impoverished 

aristocrats. 

The Wodehouse phenomenon continues with 

two more sparkling classics from the master 

of hijinks and social comedy 

the White feather

Praise for the work of

“ Wodehouse is the greatest 

comic writer ever.” 

—Douglas Adams 

“ Wodehouse’s idyllic world can 

never stale. He will continue 

to release future generations 

from captivity that may be 

more irksome than our own.” 

—Evelyn Waugh

KATHERINE LONGSHORE 

Tarnish_CATiv.indd 2 10/10/12 3:27 PM 

Anne Boleyn feels like an outsider in the Tudor court. 

So when the dashing poet Thomas Wyatt offers to 

coach her on how to court—and to convince everyone 

they’re lovers—she accepts. Soon Anne’s the 

most popular woman at court; she even attracts 

the attention of the irresistible King Henry VIII. The 

king’s interest could give the intelligent and cultured 

Anne an opportunity to make an impact in a 

world where a woman’s only career options are wife 

or mistress. But when Thomas reveals he’s fallen 

deeply for her, Anne must choose between true love 

and the chance to make history.

gin PHilliPs has written several 

critically acclaimed books for adults, 

and this is her children’s book debut. 

She lives in Birmingham, Alabama, with 

her husband, children, and dog. 

When Nell’s mother gets into a conflict with the 

mother of her best friend, Lydia, the two girls are 

suddenly forbidden from seeing each other. Determined 

not to allow anyone to restrict their friendship, 

Nell and Lydia escape their parents by hiding 

out during the summer days on a huge, abandoned 

golf course. As they explore more each day, they 

discover a series of strange symbols mysteriously 

drawn all over the course grounds. For Nell, the secret 

behind the symbols reveals hidden aspects of 

her life, allowing her to learn new notions of family, 

friendship, and maturity.

Emaline is spending her last summer before college 

the same way she’s spent all her summers— 

working at her family’s vacation rental business in 

the beach town of Colby. In the fall, she and her 

longtime boyfriend, Luke, will head to the local U, 

just as everyone expects. Life is good, if somewhat 

predictable. 

Enter Theo, a New York film student who has 

landed a job assisting an award-winning documentary 

filmmaker whose current subject is a reclusive 

Colby artist. To Emaline’s surprise, Theo pursues 

her. He notices her intelligence and makes it his 

personal mission to help her see the wider possibilities 

open to her in the world—whether she wants 

to or not. 

Endlessly entertaining, full of humor and wisdom, 

Sarah Dessen’s latest novel captures that 

special time in life when everything you knew irrevocably 

transforms. It can only happen in the summer.

Aside from the occasional homeless train jumper, 

nothing much exciting rolls through Violet White’s 

sleepy, seaside town...until the charismatic River 

West comes along. River rents the guesthouse 

behind Violet’s crumbling estate, and as strange, 

scary things grip her town, Violet begins to wonder 

about the boy living in her backyard. Is River 

just a crooked-smiling liar with sweet eyes and a 

mysterious past? Or could he be something more? 

Violet’s grandmother always warned her about the 

Devil. But she never told Violet that the Devil could 

be a pretty boy who likes coffee, who kisses you in a 

cemetery . . . who makes you fall in love.
