bill maher is the host of Hbo’s Real Time and hosted comedy 

central and abc’s Politically Incorrect for ten years. He has 

created nine stand-up comedy specials, and garnered twentyseven 

emmy nominations thus far. in 2008, maher produced 

Religulous, the seventh-highest-grossing documentary in history.

New York Times bestselling author Bill Maher 

serves up a savagely funny set of rules for 

preserving sanity in an insane world. 

Media, celebrity, Democrats, Republicans, religion, 

children, marine life, electronics, that couple making 

out in the next booth—when it comes to lighting up his 

targets, Bill Maher is an equal-opportunity destroyer. The 

New New Rules is a collection of Maher’s new and best- 

loved observations about the world around us, along with 

some modest tips for its improvement. Because wouldn’t 

life be a little better if the inside of the office microwave 

didn’t look like a Jackson Pollock painting, or if fathers 

stopped signing up their nine-year-olds to win free 

hunting trips? Scathingly funny and relentlessly unafraid 

of sensitive topics, Maher’s hilarious brand of realism is 

more welcome and necessary than ever. So sit back, read 

on, and enjoy. You may not agree with all his views, but 

one thing’s for certain: If you’re listening, you’re laughing. 

“One of the establishment’s most 

entertaining critics.” 

—The New York Times 

“Pundit Bill Maher courts controversy you 

say? He calls it telling the truth.” 

—Entertainment Weekly 

New Rule: The next Republican Convention must be held in a giant closet. Every week 

there’s a new gay Republican outed. I have a feeling that “big tent” they’re always talking 

about is in their pants. There are so many Republicans in the closet, their symbol shouldn’t 

be an elephant; it should be a moth.

“A serious (and seriously funny) travelogue.” 

—National Geographic 

What happens when an unadventurous adventure writer 

tries to re-create the original expedition to Machu 

Picchu? In 1911, Hiram Bingham III climbed into the 

Andes Mountains of Peru and “discovered” the famed 

archeological site. While history has recast Bingham 

as a liar and a thief, Mark Adams set out to retrace the 

explorer’s perilous path in search of the truth—except he’d 

written about adventure far more than he’d actually lived 

it. In fact, he’d never even slept in a tent. 

Appealing to history buffs, armchair travelers, and actual 

adventurers alike, Turn Right at Machu Picchu is Adams’ 

acclaimed account of his journey through some of the 

world’s most majestic, historic, and remote landscapes. 

“An engaging, informative guide to all 

things Inca.” —Entertainment Weekly 

“The perfect way to acknowledge the lost 

city’s 100th birthday.” 

—The Christian Science Monitor 

(#1 on the “20 Smartest Nonfiction Titles 

for Summer Reading” list) 

“A story that hooks readers early and then 

sails along so interestingly that it’s one 

of those ‘can’t put it down’ books. What 

more could armchair adventurers want?” 

—The Associated Press 

“[An] entirely delightful book.” 

—The Washington Post 

John’s “martini explorer” comment had unnerved me a little—compared to Bingham, I was a 

white-wine spritzer explorer—so before committing to anything, I thought I should mention 

that it had been a while since I had slept outdoors. What came out of my mouth instead was 

“I might not be completely up-to-date on the latest tent-erecting methods.” “That’s all right,” 

John said. “We’ll need mules for a trip like this and the arrieros—the muleteers—can set 

up the tents. How do you feel about food?” “Sorry?” “You like cooked food?” John asked. I 

admitted that I did, in fact, have a weakness for victuals prepared over heat.

A New York Times bestseller and “a deeply felt 

memoir” (Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times) 

Even after his death in 2004, Ronald Reagan remains 

one of America’s most popular and beloved presidents. 

Though numerous candidates will undoubtedly invoke his 

name in the run-up to the 2012 presidential election, he is 

a man whom history and his own privacy have conspired 

to turn into a remote icon. 

Ron Reagan celebrates his late father’s life by visiting the 

towns that shaped him, sharing both his own memories 

and a unique portrait of a young “Dutch” Reagan. Part 

memoir, part family history, part evocation of a bygone 

America, My Father at 100 is a candid and affectionate 

portrait that will be widely embraced by readers of all 

political stripes. 

“His sensitive and arresting memoir about 

’Dad,’ as he calls his father throughout, is 

especially good when exploring the human 

puzzle.” —Russell Baker, 

The New York Review of Books 

“Honest and compelling . . . a worthy 

memoir.” —Kirkus Reviews 

“Ron Reagan has indeed created an 

enduring tribute.” —Diane Bradley, 

New York Journal of Books 

“A nicely written, richly felt book.” 

—Julia Keller, Chicago Tribune 

“Whether or not you agreed with his 

politics—and his son often did not—you 

come away feeling that the 40th president 

was a man perfectly suited to lifeguarding 

the free world.” 

—Abigail Klein, The Jerusalem Post 

This is not a political biography—that’s a job best left for others. Neither does this book 

pretend to be an encyclopedic recounting of his entire life. It is simply my attempt to come 

to grips with the father with whom I grew up, with a public figure both revered and reviled 

and, most important, with a human being in all his stubborn enigma. Everyone thinks he 

knows Ronald Reagan, but those who truly knew him best still grapple with the enduring 

mystery of his inner character. I’m hoping that some light might penetrate that mystery if I 

can focus on the man I knew through the lens of his early, formative years.

“The Singles skew everything” in a comedic, 

affecting wedding novel in which neither bride 

nor groom but five solo guests take center stage. 

Take an instantly recognizable social dilemma—attending a wedding alone—add a good 

laugh (and maybe a cry), and meet The Singles, the warm and witty debut by Boston Globe 

“Love Letters” columnist, Meredith Goldstein. 

Beth “Bee” Evans’s first vow as a bride is that everyone on her list be invited to bring a guest 

to her lavish Chesapeake Bay nuptials. When Hannah, Vicki, Rob, Joe, and Nancy one by one 

decline Bee’s generous offer, the frustrated bride dubs them the “Singles,” adrift on her seating 

chart as well as in life. The motivations—from bad breakups to career crises to misplaced 

nostalgia—behind their collective decision set in motion a rollicking, romantic, reflective tale 

of adulthood, with all its promise and heartbreak. Alone together, the “Singles” take their next 

precarious yet inspiring steps along life’s unpredictable path. 

It would have been acceptable in a recession for Bee to invite singles to the wedding 

without a plus-one, but Bee wanted every guest to have the option of bringing a companion. 

But the Singles had chosen to come alone, and Bee just couldn’t understand it. When she 

was a Single, Bee resented brides who didn’t give her a plus-one simply because she didn’t 

have a serious boyfriend. Bee vowed that when she got married, she’d grant plus-ones to 

everyone. No one would have to be alone. Almost everyone on the invite list had taken Bee 

up on her offer. Except for the Singles, who, in Bee’s opinion, were adrift not only on her 

dry-erase board but also in life.

When she’s offered a teaching stint at a high-profile yoga festival in the california

of the man she’s just started dating—and the lure of becoming a “star.” 

it would be easier if her four friends would join her, but from commitmentphobic

the Rise of the concert industry and 

How the Public Got scalped 

Ticket Masters sheds light upon the complex relationships between artists, 

promoters, ticketing agents, and the public like no other book on the shelves. 

the authors chronicle the as-yet-untold story of the modern concert industry, 

revealing the origins, development, and ongoing strategies of companies 

such as ticketmaster, live nation, and stubHub and the efforts of numerous 

independent competitors. With over a hundred exclusive interviews along with 

many previously unreleased documents, this character-driven book explores 

the actions and impact of the iconoclasts guiding these companies while folding 

in related tales of scalping syndicates, old-school music promoters, and wouldbe 

internet tycoons along with the brash business decisions of such worldrenowned 

groups as the Grateful Dead, Pearl Jam, and the Rolling stones. 

this book answers the questions: 

• How and why do concerts sell out so fast? 

• Why do service fees vary on tickets to the same event? 

• Why isn’t ticketmaster considered an illegal monopoly? 

• and just how did ticket prices get so high, anyway?

The riveting sequel to the New York Times 

bestseller and literary phenomenon, 

The Magicians 

With The Magicians, Lev Grossman earned the 

admiration of readers and fans alike, shattering the limits 

of conventional fantasy writing by imagining magic as 

practiced in the real world by fallible people, unfettered 

by fictional notions of good and evil. 

The Magician King returns to Fillory, where Quentin is 

now king. He embarks on a heroic quest accompanied 

by his old friend Julia, who made it to Fillory despite 

failing the Brakebills entrance exam. Instead, he and 

Julia—whose genius is thrilling—must harness the magic 

of Brakebills and the explosive sorcery Julia learned in the 

streets to defeat a sinister threat in a world far from the 

bright fantasy novels they read as children. Once again, 

Grossman proves he is the modern heir to C. S. Lewis and 

the cutting edge of literary fantasy.

Lev Grossman’s website. 

“This serious, heartfelt novel turns the 

machinery of fantasy inside out.” 

—The New York Times Book Review 

“The Catcher in the Rye for devotees of 

alternative universes. It’s dazzling . . . A 

rare, strange, and scintillating novel.” 

—Julia Keller, Chicago Tribune 

“The Magician King is a rare achievement, 

a book that simultaneously criticizes and 

celebrates our deep desire for fantasy.” 

—The Boston Globe 

“A spellbinding stereograph, a literary 

adventure novel that is also about a 

privilege, power, and the limits of being 

human. The Magician King is a triumphant 

sequel.” —NPR.org 

“A story about extraordinary deeds, 

heroism, magic, and love . . . a book that 

entertains and disturbs at the same time.”

“Forget fiction. Pop this jaw-dropper in your 

beach bag.” —USA Today 

True crime doesn’t get any better than this: In 2008, Clark 

Rockefeller, wealthy scion of a great American family, 

made headlines when he kidnapped his own daughter and 

vanished. The police and FBI were baffled. Tips poured 

in, but every lead was a dead end . . . because “Clark 

Rockefeller” did not exist. 

In a gripping work of investigative journalism, Mark 

Seal reveals how German native Christian Gerhartsreiter 

came to the United States, where he assumed a parade 

of personas, eventually posing as a Rockefeller for 

twelve years, married to a woman who had no idea of 

his true identity. Fast-paced and grippingly told, The Man 

in the Rockefeller Suit is The Talented Mr. Ripley come 

compellingly to life. 

“A brisk narrative that has all the pace 

and drive of a suspense novel.” 

—Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times 

“Riveting.” —O, The Oprah Magazine 

“No mystery writer would script this—it’s 

too unbelievable.” 


“[An] impeccably reported and fascinating 

book.” —Los Angeles Times 

“Irresistibly lucid and propulsive . . . 

Impossible to put down—Patricia 

Highsmith couldn’t have written a more 

compelling thriller.” 

—Kirkus Reviews (starred review) 

“Fascinating.” —People (four stars) 

“In striking detail . . . [Seal] unravels the 

complex and fantastically bizarre tale of a 

man aspiring to the American Dream by 

any means necessary.” —NPR 

When the fingerprints came back from the lab, one thing was finally clear: the kidnapper 

was definitely not a Rockefeller. He was Christian Karl Gerhartsreiter, a forty-seven-year-old 

German immigrant who had come to America as a student in 1978. Shortly after his arrival, 

he disappeared into what the Boston district attorney would call “the longest con I’ve seen 

in my professional career.” The elaborate, labyrinthine nature of Gerhartsreiter’s shapeshifting 

adventures, from the time he set foot in this country as a seventeen-year-old student 

right up to his disappearance, makes his story more bizarre than any gifted writer of fiction 

could possibly invent.

sugar raY leonard worked as a boxing analyst for abc and 

Hbo after retiring from the ring. He lives with his wife and two 

children in california.

The New York Times bestselling autobiography 

of one of America’s greatest boxing legends 

Along with Muhammad Ali, “Sugar” Ray Leonard remains 

one of the most popular and successful boxers of all time. 

But who was the man behind the cool façade? 

In Washington, D.C., during the 1970s, a black man could 

get into the newspapers only one of two ways: crime—or 

boxing. Ray chose to fight. After winning a gold medal 

at the 1976 Olympics, his family’s financial needs made 

him go pro. All the while, another, darker Ray—one 

overwhelmed by depression, rage, drug addiction, sexual 

abuse, and greed—battled for dominance. The Big Fight 

is a top-notch sports memoir and an honest and inspiring 

portrait of the rise, fall, and ultimate redemption of a true 

fighter. 

“The intelligence and self-reflection that 

helped Sugar Ray become one of the 

greatest fighters of his generation, have 

also stood him in good stead outside the 

arena.” —The Boston Globe 

“Champions come and go, but to be 

legendary you got to have heart, more 

heart than the next man, more than 

anyone in the world. Ray’s heart was 

bigger than all the rest. He would never 

stop fighting.” —Muhammad Ali 

My eyes never lie. There they are, open wide, in the mirror of the dressing room at Caesars 

Palace in Las Vegas. Those eyes would reveal which of the two dueling personalities would 

enter the ring as I took on the most intimidating opponent of my career: Marvin Hagler . . . 

Would it be Sugar Ray Leonard, true American hero since capturing the gold medal in 

Montreal more than a decade earlier? Sugar Ray was resilient, fearless, unwilling to accept 

failure. The smile and innocence of a child would be gone, replaced in the ring by a man 

filled with rage he did not understand . . . Or would it be Ray Leonard, the part-time boxer 

at the age of thirty whose best was well behind him, his days and nights wasted on fights 

which never made the headlines, fights he lost over and over, to alcohol and cocaine abuse 

and depression?

chaz bono lives with his partner in los angeles.

The New York Times bestseller that garnered 

a deluge of media attention and cheers of 

support from coast to coast 

The world first met Chaz Bono as Sonny and Cher’s 

cherubic blonde daughter. But Chaz hardly remembers 

that little girl. Instead, he remembers growing up in the 

public eye feeling that his whole existence was a lie. Even 

after coming out as a lesbian, Chaz still felt unfulfilled. 

Finally—after grappling with gender confusion, failed 

relationships, the loss of a parent, drug addiction, and a 

journey toward sobriety—Chaz began taking hormones to 

begin his transition from female to male. 

Inspirational for anyone who wants a life different from 

the one they are living, deeply moving, and breathtakingly 

honest, Transition is a riveting story about one man’s 

triumphant struggle—against the odds—to be his best self. 

“Transition is not only about the journey 

from female to male; more importantly, it’s 

about the journey from fear to courage.” 

—Jennifer Finney Boylan, bestselling 

author of She’s Not There and 

I’m Looking Through You 

“By putting a face to his particular need 

for transformation, Chaz Bono has done 

something special in writing Transition, 

and something valuable and laudable 

as well. He has helped us to better 

understand Chaz Bono—and in doing so, 

he has helped us to better understand 

ourselves.” —New York Journal of Books 

I experienced another incredible moment of clarity about myself. I understood for the first 

time that I couldn’t focus on how others were going to react if I transitioned. I could not 

possibly control their reactions, their feelings, or their behaviors toward me. I had been so 

consumed with not upsetting anyone, but I could not continue deferring my own needs. 

Now I accepted that these people were all adults. It wasn’t my job to make them okay; they 

had to make themselves okay with me. Which meant that the only person really in my way 

was myself.

tsung—it killed him. 

• in 1849, brooklyn inventor Walter Hunt invented and patented the 

safety pin and then sold all the rights to his invention for $400, never 

receiving another penny for it. a century later, the united states 

produced an estimated five billion safety pins annually. Hunt died broke 

in 1859. 

• in the 1930s, a newspaper to which novelist Rudyard kipling subscribed 

incorrectly announced his death. in a letter to the editor, kipling wrote: 

“i’ve just read that i am dead. Don’t forget to delete me from your list

the stem cell Hope 

How stem cell medicine can change our lives 

no one is better poised to report the facts about stem cell research than alice 

Park. During her fifteen-plus years covering health and medical issues for Time 

magazine, Park has seen the limitations of drugs and pharmaceutical products 

in the fight against diseases like cancer, diabetes, and alzheimer’s. but what if 

tissues damaged by disease could be replaced with a patient’s own healthy cells? 

Park shares a compelling history of stem cell research, from the personal 

tragedy that fueled the founding of the Harvard stem cell institute to the 

Japanese researcher who recently coaxed stem cells from mouse skin. Destined 

to become the go-to book on the subject, The Stem Cell Hope masterfully 

chronicles one of modern medical science’s most exciting frontiers. 

“A tour de force of storytelling.” 

—Sharon Begley, author of Train Your Mind, Change Your Brain 

“Infuses a difficult scientific subject with intrigue, passion, and fun.” 

—Michael F. Roisen, M.D., coauthor of the YOU series

Denmark’s #1 crime writer introduces 

America to Department Q 

Many Scandinavian crime writers have been hailed as 

the new Stieg Larsson, but few have what it really takes 

to captivate American audiences. Dark, propulsive, and 

riveting, Jussi Adler-Olsen’s Department Q series sells 

1 million copies every year in Denmark alone, and—like 

Larsson and Henning Mankell—he’s won the prestigious 

Glass Key Award. Now, The Keeper of Lost Causes shows 

American readers what they’ve been missing. 

Carl Mørck used to be one of Copenhagen’s best 

detectives—until a bullet lands him in the basement with 

only a stack of cold cases for company. His colleagues 

snicker, but Carl may have the last laugh, because one file 

keeps nagging at him: a liberal politician who vanished 

five years earlier, now presumed dead. But she isn’t 

dead . . . yet. 

“Far from being just another morose 

Nordic crime writer, Adler-Olsen creates a 

detective whose curiosity is as active as his 

soul is tortured.” 

—Library Journal (starred review) 

“The pages fly by as the twisty puzzle 

unfolds. Stieg Larsson fans will be 

delighted.” 

—Publishers Weekly (starred review) 

“Adler-Olsen’s prose is superior to Larsson’s, 

his tortures are less discomfiting, and he 

has a sense of humor.” 

—Booklist (starred review) 

“The new ‘it’ boy of Nordic Noir.” 

—The Times (London) 

“The Keeper of Lost Causes is dark, 

atmospheric, and compelling. Those who 

loved The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo will 

devour this book.” —C. J. Box, New York 

Times bestselling author of Cold Wind 

She was going to look after herself. For them she was the woman in the cage, but she 

was the one who decided how far apart the bars would be. She would think thoughts that 

opened out onto the world and kept madness at bay. They would never break her. That’s 

what she decided as she lay there on the floor, her shoulder throbbing fiercely and the 

swelling around her eye forcing it closed. 

Someday she would get out of here.

Why We thrive in the Rat Race 

People think that downtime will make them happy. some even dream about 

getting out of the rat race for good. but todd buchholz—a former White 

House director of economic policy, award-winning Harvard instructor, 

hedge fund director, and coproducer of a tony award–winning hit broadway 

show—proves that kind of thinking dead wrong. interweaving entertaining 

stories and cutting-edge research from neuroeconomics to evolutionary 

biology to Renaissance art to General motors, buchholz draws the 

counterintuitive—yet wholly convincing—conclusion that competition has not 

only made us taller and smarter, it’s what humans love and need. anyone 

who loves ayn Rand and hates big government will embrace this witty and 

provocative book.

The unique life story of one of the most talented 

and inventive comedians, star of Shaun of the 

Dead, Hot Fuzz, Paul, Spaced, and Star Trek. 

Zombies in North London, death cults in the West 

Country, the engineering deck of the Enterprise—actor, 

comedian, writer, and supergeek Simon Pegg has been 

ploughing some bizarre furrows. Having landed on the 

U.S. movie scene in the surprise cult hit Shaun of the 

Dead, his enduring appeal and rise to movie stardom has 

been mercurial, meteoric, megatronic, but mostly just 

plain great. 

From his childhood (and subsequently adult) obsession 

with science fiction, his enduring friendship with Nick 

Frost, and his forays into stand-up comedy, which began 

with his regular Monday-morning slot in front of his twelve- 

year-old classmates, Simon has always had a severe and 

dangerous case of the funnies. 

Whether recounting his experience working as a lifeguard 

at the city pool, going to Comic-Con for the first time 

and confessing to Carrie Fisher that he used to kiss her 

picture every night before he went to sleep, or meeting 

and working with heroes that include Peter Jackson, Kevin 

Smith, and Quentin Tarantino, Pegg offers a hilarious look 

at the journey to becoming an international superstar.

The first biography of Yo La Tengo, 

the massively influential band who all 

but defined indie music 

Yo La Tengo has lit up the indie scene for three decades, 

part of an underground revolution that defied corporate 

music conglomerates, eschewed radio-friendly hits, and 

found a third way. But unlike other indie groups, such as 

R.E.M. and Sonic Youth, Yo La Tengo actually managed to 

stay true to its roots, never switching to a major label. 

Going behind the scenes of one of the most remarkable 

eras in American music history, Big Day Coming traces 

the rise of husband-and-wife team Ira Kaplan and Georgia 

Hubley, who rocketed from the college radio circuit to the 

global stage, selling millions of records along the way and 

influencing countless bands. 

Blending the band’s story with legends of the clubs, the 

music reporters, the fans, and the pivotal figures in indie 

rock history, musician and journalist Jesse Jarnow draws 

on all-access interviews and archives. A mesmerizing trip 

through a unique creative process, Big Day Coming is like 

a backstage pass to the singular sounds and sights of true 

legends.

statespeople operating in a genre where 

they’re influence-grandparents. And 

alongside peers Sonic Youth and the 

Flaming Lips…All three of those bands 

have reached a steady state where 

reinvention is unnecessary: They’re so 

frequently good they don’t even get a 

redemption story.” —Pitchfork.com

they’re in it for the long haul.”

A fully illustrated graphic memoir of a child 

of the ’60s who was raised into a life of crime 

and addiction—but graduated to freedom 

Matthew Parker was in his mid-forties when he started college. He’d been sidetracked: Eleven years 

were eaten up by serving time in various county jails, state penitentiaries, and federal prison. He’d 

been arrested more than thirty times, racking up eight felonies in a crime career that began at age 

thirteen, when he started dealing pot. When he got out of prison for the last time and kicked his 

heroin addiction, he was determined to spend the next chapter of his life in the classroom. And he 

did just that, going on to complete a master’s degree from Columbia University’s highly competitive 

creative writing program. 

Through captivating black-and-white illustrations drawn in a distinctively primitive style, Larceny in 

My Blood flashes back on Parker’s childhood, with memories of a loving but lawless mother teaching 

him that breaking the law was the way to survive. From there it moves to an account of Parker’s 

lost decades, where he resorted to petty crime to support a heroin habit. After years of fighting the 

system, Parker sees the light and Larceny in My Blood becomes a poignant portrait of a man trying 

to find his way in the straight and narrow. A unique memoir, Parker’s images and words form a 

mesmerizing road to redemption.

oscar Hijuelos 

thoughts Without cigarettes 

a memoir 

born in manhattan’s morningside Heights to cuban immigrants in 1951, oscar 

Hijuelos introduces readers to the colorful circumstances of his upbringing. the 

son of a cuban hotel worker and exuberant poetry-writing mother, his story, 

played out against the backdrop of a working-class neighborhood, takes on an 

even richer dimension when his relationship with his family and culture changes 

forever. During a sojourn with his mother in pre-castro cuba, he catches a 

disease that sends him into a Dickensian home for terminally ill children. the 

yearlong stay estranges him from the very language and people he had so loved. 

With a cast of characters whose stories are both funny and tragic, Thoughts 

Without Cigarettes follows Hijuelos’s subsequent quest for his true identity—a 

mystery whose resolution he eventually discovers hidden away in the trappings 

of his fiction, and which finds its most glorious expression in his best-known 

book, The Mambo Kings Play Songs of Love. illuminating the most dazzling scenes 

from his novels, Thoughts Without Cigarettes reveals the true stories and indelible 

memories that shaped a literary genius. 

“In Thoughts Without Cigarettes, a brilliant novelist reveals what makes 

him tick and where he and all his characters have come from, offering 

us a mesmerizing glimpse of that mystical realm where the grittiest of 

realities are transformed into art and memories are redeemed.” 

—Carlos Eire, author of Waiting for Snow in Havana

ned Zeman 

the Rules of the tunnel 

my brief Period of madness 

twenty-five million americans suffer from clinical depression. but ned Zeman 

never thought he’d be one of them. He had a great life and thriving career at 

Vanity Fair. 

then, at age thirty-two, anxiety and depression gripped Zeman with increasing 

violence and consequences. He experimented with therapist after therapist, 

medication after medication, hospital after hospital—including mclean 

Hospital, the facility famed for its treatment of writers, from sylvia Plath to 

susanna kaysen to David foster Wallace. Zeman eventually went further by 

trying electroconvulsive therapy, aka shock treatment. 

by the time it was over, Zeman had lost nearly two years’ of memory. He 

was a reporter with amnesia. He had no choice but to start from scratch, to 

reassemble the pieces of a life he didn’t remember and, increasingly, didn’t 

want to. 

by turns hilarious and heartbreaking, profane and hopeful, The Rules of the 

Tunnel is a guttural shout of a book that defies conventional notions about 

mood disorders, unlocks mysteries within mysteries, and proves that sometimes 

everything you’re looking for is right in front of you. 




■■www.therulesofthetunnel.com ned zeman is a contributing editor at Vanity Fair and has written for 

Newsweek, Spy, GQ, Outside, and Sports Illustrated. two of his articles were 

finalists for the national magazine award, and he cowrote the screenplay 

for Sugarland, a film starring Jodie foster. He lives in los angeles.

What language is 

and What it isn’t and What it could be 

an eye-opening tour for all language lovers, What Language Is offers a fascinating 

new perspective on the way humans communicate. from vanishing languages 

spoken by a few hundred people to major tongues like chinese, and with 

copious revelations about the hodgepodge nature of english, John mcWhorter 

shows readers how to see and hear languages as a linguist does. 

Packed with big ideas about language alongside wonderful trivia, What 

Language Is explains how languages across the globe (the Queen’s english 

and suriname creoles alike) originate, evolve, multiply, and divide. Raising 

provocative questions about what qualifies as a language (so-called slang does 

have structured grammar), mcWhorter takes readers on a marvelous journey 

through time and place—from Persia to the languages of sri lanka—to deliver 

a feast of facts about the wonders of human linguistic expression. 

“A lucid and knowledgeable book...endlessly fascinating to language 

fanatics.” —Minneapolis Star Tribune

“Ulrich pours his heart and soul into this pageturner.” 

—Running Times 


marshall ulrich 

foreword by christopher mcDougall 

Running on empty 

an ultramarathoner’s story of love, loss, and 

a Record-setting Run across america 

the ultimate endurance athlete, marshall ulrich has run more than one 

hundred foot races averaging over one hundred miles each, completed twelve 

expedition-length adventure races, and ascended the seven summits— 

including mount everest. yet his run from california to new york—the 

equivalent of running two marathons and a 10k every day for nearly two 

months straight—proved to be his most challenging effort yet. 

in Running on Empty he shares the gritty backstory of his run and the excruciating 

punishments he endured on the road. ulrich also reaches back nearly thirty 

years to when the death of his first wife drove him to run from his pain. 

ulrich’s memoir imbues an incredible read with a universal message for athletes 

and nonathletes alike: face the toughest challenges, overcome debilitating 

setbacks, and find deep fulfillment in something greater than achievement.

Jeffrey m. schwartz, m.D., and

you are not your brain 

the 4-step solution for changing bad Habits, ending 

unhealthy thinking, and taking control of your life 

a leading neuroplasticity researcher and the coauthor of the groundbreaking 

books Brain Lock and The Mind and the Brain, Jeffrey m. schwartz has spent his 

career studying the human brain. He pioneered the first mindfulness-based 

treatment program for people suffering from ocD, teaching patients how to 

achieve long-term relief from their compulsions. 

schwartz works with psychiatrist Rebecca Gladding to refine a program that 

successfully explains how the brain works and why we often feel besieged 

by overactive brain circuits (i.e. bad habits, social anxieties, etc.) the key to 

making life changes that you want—to make your brain work for you—is 

to consciously choose to “starve” these circuits of focused attention, thereby 

decreasing their influence and strength. 

You Are Not Your Brain carefully outlines their program, showing readers how 

to identify negative impulses, channel them through the power of focused 

attention, and ultimately lead more fulfilling and empowered lives.

The acclaimed, hotly debated 

#1 New York Times bestseller 

Few Americans have spent more time near the center of 

power than Donald Rumsfeld, whose widely commented 

on memoir offers many previously undisclosed details 

about his service with four U.S. presidents. We follow his 

rise from a middle-class childhood through the Navy to a 

seat in the U.S. Congress at age thirty, and his experiences 

there during the Vietnam War and the Civil Rights era. We 

also get his unique perspective as cabinet-level member 

for the Nixon and Ford administrations, as CEO of two 

Fortune 500 companies, and as a special envoy to the 

Middle East for President Reagan. 

Rumsfeld also addresses the challenges and controversies 

of his time as Secretary of Defense during the 9/11 attacks 

and the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. He includes candid 

observations on the differences of views within the 

Pentagon and with other members of President George W. 

Bush’s National Security Council. 

In a famous press briefing, Rumsfeld once said that “There 

are also unknown unknowns . . . things we do not know we 

don’t know.” His book makes us realize just how much we 

didn’t know. 

“A serious stab at telling the history of a 

consequential period in America through 

the eyes of one of its most consequential 

players. “ 

—Peter Baker, The New York Times 

“The first political memoir of the 

Information Age.” —Gordon Crovitz, 

The Wall Street Journal 

“Readers might be appreciative to find 

themselves in possession of a serious 

memoir, more in keeping with the older 

Washington tradition of Dean Acheson or 

Henry Kissinger.” —Kimberley Strassel, 

The Wall Street Journal 

“I don’t care whether you’re . . . a liberal or 

a conservative or something else: If you’re 

interested in this period of history, the 

book is a total feast.” 

—Jay Nordlinger, National Review 

“A meaty, well-written book that will be 

a primary source for historians . . . This 

power memoir deserves to be read with 

the care that went into writing it.”

zac bissonnette graduated with an art history degree from 

the university of massachusetts/amherst in 2011. He has written 

for aol money & finance, time.com, the Boston Globe, the Daily 

Beast, and the New York Times, among other media outlets.

The bestselling author of Debt-Free U returns 

with an entertaining finance guide for 

twentysomethings 

Zac Bissonnette paid his own way through college and, in 

his junior year, wrote a bestseller about how anyone can 

get a great education without signing their dreams over 

to Sallie Mae. He won acclaim from some of the biggest 

names in personal finance, including Suze Orman, Dave 

Ramsey, Andrew Tobias, and David Bach. Now he’s back 

to help a group that desperately needs it: recent grads with 

passion, dreams, and debt-to-income ratios that make the 

federal government look like Warren Buffett. 

For many in their early twenties, newfound independence 

and peer pressure to splurge lead to decisions that could 

ruin their lives. But if they can be smart during their 

first ten years after college, young people can build a 

foundation for a life more secure, stable, and relaxed than 

those of their parents. 

Bissonnette offers fresh insights into everything from job 

hunting to buying a car to saving for retirement—with detours 

to discuss wine connoisseurs, Really Broke Housewives, and 

Lenny Dykstra. He reveals why FICO scores are overrated, 

online job applications are a waste of time, car loans are for 

suckers, and credit card rewards are a scam. 

Blending pop culture and serious research, this entertaining 

book will show you how to make good choices today so 

you can be richer, smarter (and better looking!) for years to 

come. 

Praise for Debt-Free U: 

“A real mule kick to the higher educational 

status quo . . . He’s a contrarian, and his 

book is packed with studies and statistics 

to back up his analysis. It’s a magical 

combination that college-bound students 

and their parents should read.” 

—USA Today 

“He has written the best and most 

troubling book ever about the college 

admissions process.” 

—Jay Mathews, The Washington Post 

“Provides a ton of food for thought for 

your college planning process.”

meatball sundae 

is your marketing out of sync? 

according to seth Godin, the many tactics of online marketing are like the 

toppings at an ice cream parlor. if you start with ice cream, adding cherries and 

hot fudge and whipped cream will make it taste great. but if you start with a 

bowl of meatballs . . . yuck! 

as traditional marketing declines, the latest tools of social media and other 

Web options seem irresistible. but they don’t work as well for boring brands 

(“meatballs”) that might still be profitable but don’t attract word of mouth. 

Meatball Sundae explains what to do about the increasing power of stories, not 

facts; about shorter and shorter attention spans; and about the new math that 

says five thousand people who want to hear your message are more valuable 

than five million who don’t. 

the winners aren’t just annoying start-ups run by twentysomethings who never 

had a real job. you’ll also meet older companies that have adapted brilliantly, 

such as blendtec, a thirty-year-old blender maker. it produces “Will it blend?” 

videos that demolish golf balls, coke cans, iPhones, and much more. for a few 

hundred dollars, blendtec reached more than ten million eager viewers on 

youtube.

seth Godin 

all marketers are liars 

the underground classic that explains How 

marketing Really Works—and Why authenticity 

is the best marketing of all 

all marketers tell stories. and if they do it right, we believe them. We believe 

that wine tastes better in a $20 glass than a $1 glass. We believe that an 

$80,000 Porsche is vastly superior to a $36,000 Volkswagen that’s virtually the 

same car. We believe that $125 sneakers make our feet feel better—and look 

cooler—than a $25 brand. 

as seth Godin shows in this controversial book, great marketers tell a story—a 

story we want to believe, whether it’s factual or not. marketers succeed when 

they tell us a story that fits our worldview, a story that we intuitively embrace 

and then share with our friends. think of the Dyson vacuum cleaner, or fiji 

water or the iPhone. 

but beware: if your stories are inauthentic, you cross the line from fib to fraud. 

marketers fail when they are selfish and scurrilous, when they abuse the tools 

of their trade and make the world worse. that’s a lesson learned the hard way 

by telemarketers, cigarette companies, and sleazy politicians. 

but for the rest of us, it’s time to embrace the power of the story. as Godin 

writes, “stories make it easier to understand the world. stories are the only 

way we know to spread an idea. marketers didn’t invent storytelling. they just 

perfected it.”

Joe kernen and blake kernen 

your teacher said What?! 

trying to Raise a fifth Grade capitalist in 

obama’s america 

every morning on cnbc’s Squawk Box, Joe kernen asks challenging questions. 

and at home he does the same with his young daughter, blake. What are you 

learning in school? What tV shows do you like? What message did you get 

from that movie? your teacher said what?! 

When blake was nine, her answers told Joe that she had already absorbed a 

distorted view of economics—from her school, pop culture, and just about 

everywhere else. she was learning that capitalism is unavoidably immoral 

. . . that business people can’t be trusted, especially if they run big companies 

. . . that trade is bad because it hurts american workers . . . and that no matter 

how bad things get, the government will always bail us out. 

Joe was outraged. if he couldn’t fix our education system or Hollywood, at least 

he could teach blake how capitalism really works, and why it’s worth defending. 

He started by asking her to write down phrases she didn’t understand (“What’s 

physical stimulus?”). that led to discussions of ideas like credit and the time 

value of money; the good and bad aspects of unions; free trade vs. “fair” trade; 

and why universal health care in europe isn’t really free. 

“A lively and much-needed book.” —Jack Welch

Paul allen has left his mark on numerous fields, from aviation and science to 

rock ’n’ roll, professional sports, and philanthropy. His passions and curiosity 

have transformed the way we live. in 2007 and again in 2008, Time named him 

one of the hundred most influential people in the world. 

microsoft started on a snowy day in December 1974, when allen was twentyone 

years old. after buying the new issue of Popular Electronics in Harvard 

square, he ran to show it to his best friend from seattle, bill Gates, then a 

Harvard undergrad. the magazine’s cover story featured the altair 8800, the 

first true personal computer; allen knew that he and Gates had the skills to 

code a programming language for it. 

While much has been written about microsoft’s early years, allen has never 

before told the story from his point of view. nor has he previously talked 

about the details of his relationship with Gates or his behind-closed-doors 

perspective on how a struggling start-up became the most powerful technology 

company in the world.

the Referral engine 

teaching your business to market itself 

Word-of-mouth referrals are more important than ever. People trust the 

recommendation of a friend, colleague, or even a stranger with similar tastes 

over anything thrust at them by a faceless company. 

marketing expert John Jantsch offers practical techniques for harnessing 

the power of referrals to ensure a steady flow of new customers. the key 

lies in understanding the “customer Referral cycle” — the way customers 

refer others to your company who, in turn, generate even more referrals. if 

everyone in the organization keeps this in mind, Jantsch argues, your business 

will generate referrals like a well-oiled machine. 

“Frankly, I had no idea how John was going to top Duct Tape 

Marketing. But with The Referral Engine, John puts you in the driver’s 

seat and shows you the steps to achieving marketing success without a 

huge budget. Go no further. Buy this now.”

empire state of mind 

How Jay-Z Went from street corner to corner office 

some people think Jay-Z is just another rapper. others see him as just another 

celebrity. the reality is, he is first and foremost a business. and as much as 

martha stewart or oprah, he has turned himself into a lifestyle brand. 

but despite Jay-Z’s fame, there are still many whose impressions of him are 

foggy, outdated, or simply incorrect. few know the details of how he honed his 

entrepreneurial philosophy not at a fancy business school but on the streets 

of brooklyn and beyond, as a drug dealer in the late 1980s and early 1990s. 

Empire State of Mind tells the story behind Jay-Z’s rise to the top as told 

by the people who lived it with him—from classmates at brooklyn’s George 

Westinghouse High school, to the childhood friend who got him into the drug 

trade, to the DJ who persuaded him to stop dealing and focus on music. 

Zack o’malley Greenburg draws on exclusive interviews with hip-hop 

luminaries such as DJ clark kent, Questlove, Damon Dash, fab 5 freddy, nba 

stars Jamal crawford and sebastian telfair, and recording industry executives 

such as craig kallman, the ceo of atlantic Records.

the Hidden Relationship between 

Wall street and Washington 

for decades, most people have assumed that the corner offices on Wall street 

are full of wealthy Republicans who lobby for low taxes and deregulation— 

while the Democrats, as defenders of the little guy, are the enemy of Goldman 

sachs, morgan stanley, and their ilk. 

but as top investigative reporter charles Gasparino proves, the truth is more 

complicated, and a lot more disturbing. When you get past their blustering 

public statements, leading Wall street executives have long been some of the 

biggest donors to liberal politicians, including barack obama in 2008. the fat 

cats know that the bigger big Government gets, the more business will trickle 

down to them. and they know that many of the Democrats’ calls for tough 

financial reform are just hot air, to pacify their left-wing base while maintaining 

the status quo. 

the reality? obama and the Democrats in congress have been bought and 

paid for by the same bad guys who wrecked the economy. the big banks are 

still allowed to make a killing from shady practices. meanwhile, the burden of 

higher taxes and regulations will fall on small business—the true engine of our 

economic growth—and on ordinary, hard-working, middle-class americans.

my unintentional career in Retail

was hard up for cash. so she got a job at the mall. suddenly she found herself, 

middle-aged and midcareer, thrown headfirst into the bizarre alternate reality 

of american retail: a world of low-wage workers selling overpriced goods. 

at first, kelly found her part-time job at the north face fun and reaffirming, 

a way to maintain her sanity and sense of self-worth. she thought it would be 

simple—after all, how hard could it be to hang up jackets and operate a cash 

register? but the unexpected physical pressures, the unreasonable dictates of 

a remote corporate bureaucracy, and the dead-end career path eventually 

took their toll. as she struggled through more than two years at the mall, 

despite surgeries, customer abuse, and corporate inanity, kelly gained a deeper 

understanding of the plight of the retail worker. 

Her interviews with other retail veterans gave her even more insight into the 

hidden dysfunction of the nation’s third largest industry, which treats its best 

brand ambassadors like disposable drones.

clifford nass with corina yen 

the man Who lied 

to His laptop 

What We can learn about ourselves from our machines 

clifford nass is one of the world’s leading experts on how people interact with 

technology. after two decades studying problems like bmW’s GPs system, 

microsoft’s clippy (the most hated animated character of all time), and online 

evaluations that led people to lie to their laptops, he has developed a powerful 

theory: our brains can’t fundamentally distinguish between interacting with 

people and interacting with devices. We will try to protect a computer’s 

feelings, feel flattered by a brown-nosing piece of software, and even do favors 

for technology that has been “nice” to us. all without even realizing it. 

based on his research at stanford, nass explores the essential rules for effective 

human relationships. He has found that the most powerful strategies for 

working with people aren’t really that complicated, and can be learned from 

watching what succeeds and fails in technology interfaces. in other words, if a 

computer can make friends, build teams, and calm powerful emotions, so can 

any of us. 

“With the help of real experiments, rather than anecdotes or 

impressions, Clifford Nass uses people’s interactions with computers 

as a window into social and professional life. The book is filled with 

insights about an increasingly important part of our lives.”

in kitchens and Garages 

bill Gates recently told Wired that if he were a teenager today, he would be 

hacking biology. “if you want to change the world in some big way,” he says, 

“that’s where you should start—biological molecules.” 

champions of synthetic biology believe that turning genetic code into leGo- 

like blocks to build never-before-seen organisms could solve the thorniest 

challenges in medicine, energy, and environmental protection. but as an earlier 

generation of computer hackers proved, the most revolutionary discoveries 

often emerge from out-of-the-way places, forged by brilliant outsiders with 

few resources besides boundless energy and great ideas. 

marcus Wohlsen chronicles a growing community of Diy scientists working 

outside the walls of corporations and universities who are committed to 

democratizing Dna the way the internet did information. the “biohacking” 

movement, now in its early, heady days, aims to unleash genetically modified 

innovation by making the tools of biotechnology accessible to everyone. 

Wohlsen also explores the risks of Diy bioterrorism and the possibility of 

genetic engineering experiments gone awry.

covered biotech, Diy science, illegal drugs, crime, and the environment.

the Dreams, the trips, the trials, the love-ins, the sixties 

as publisher of the satirical magazine Oz—the hippies’ handbook and a 

monument to psychedelia—Richard neville was at the center of a cyclone 

of radicals, rock musicians, artists, and hustlers. Oz was at the forefront of the 

’60s underground movement, featuring articles by Germaine Greer, 

groundbreaking design by pop artist martin sharp, and cartoons by Robert 

crumb. When the magazine was tried for obscenity, John lennon and yoko 

ono marched in protest. With an updated chapter on the legacy of flower 

power a generation later, neville demythologizes the 1960s in this hilarious, 

colorful, and provocative memoir of the time.

Real fast Desserts 

over 200 Desserts and sweet snacks in 30 minutes 

this book is a mouth-watering collection of easily executed desserts suitable 

both for entertaining and for everyday eating. consider blackberries steeped 

in a glass of deep red barolo or a dish of steamy rice scented with rosewater, 

cardamom, and pistachios. or think of a thin apple crisp straight from the oven, 

or warm chocolate mousse cake with homemade espresso ice cream. 

all these are “real fast desserts” that can be prepared in less time than it takes 

a frozen cheesecake to thaw. slater’s signature style and wit shines through 

in his adaptations of traditional favorites: bread and butter pudding that uses 

fruity, buttery panettone and crème brûlée with nectarines are just a couple. 

standing alongside these classics are dozens of brilliantly creative (and easy) 

desserts. 

Praise for the work of Nigel Slater: 

“[Slater] wants you to love the messy process, not just the finished 

dish, which, come to think of it, you’ll love, too. These easy-to-execute 

dishes go down just as easy.” —The Washington Post 

“A rare treasure.” —Heidi Swanson, author of Super Natural Cooking

introduction by betty ballantine 

the mabinogion tetralogy 

the Prince of annwn - the children of llyr - 

the song of Rhiannon - the island of the mighty 

The Mabinogion is to Welsh mythology what the tales of Zeus, Hera, and apollo 

are to Greek myth. these tales constitute a powerful work of the imagination, 

ranking with tolkien’s lord of the Rings novels and t.H. White’s The Once and 

Future King. evangeline Walton’s compelling rendition of these classic, thrilling 

stories of magic, betrayal, lost love, and bitter retribution include the encounter 

between Prince Pwyll and arawn, the God of Death, which Pwyll survives by 

agreeing to kill the one man that Death cannot fell, and the tale of bran the 

blessed and his family’s epic struggle for the throne. 

The Mabinogion is internationally recognized as the world’s finest arc of celtic 

mythology; Walton’s vivid retelling introduces an ancient world of gods and 

monsters, heroes, kings and quests, making accessible one of the greatest 

fantasy sagas of all time. 

“Magnificently conceived . . . powerful.” 

—August Derleth, publisher of H.P. Lovecraft 

“Ranks with the best of twentieth-century fantasy.”

the ancient Guide 

to modern life 

in this thoroughly engaging book, natalie Haynes brings her scholarship and 

wit to the most fascinating true stories of the ancient world. The Ancient 

Guide to Modern Life not only reveals the origins of our culture in areas including 

philosophy, politics, language, and art, it also draws illuminating connections 

between antiquity and our present time, to demonstrate that the Greeks and 

Romans were not so different from ourselves: is bart simpson the successor 

to aristophanes? Do the beckhams have parallel lives with The Satiricon’s 

trimalchio? 

along the way Haynes debunks myths (gladiators didn’t salute the emperor 

before their deaths, and the last words of Julius caesar weren’t “et tu, brute?”) 

from athens to Zeno’s paradox, this irresistible guide shows how the history 

and wisdom of the ancient world can inform and enrich our lives today. 

“A romp through some of the best-known, and some of the more 

obscure, writers, thought, and stories of Greece and Rome.” 

—Times Literary Supplement 

“Delivered with wonderful energy, wit, zeal, expertise. Irresistable!” 

—Andrew Motion, former UK Poet Laureate

The dazzling second book in Bakker’s 

“exquisitely intelligent and beautifully written” 

(Steven Erikson) saga 

Praised by readers and critics around the world, R. Scott 

Bakker has become one of the most celebrated voices 

in fantasy fiction. The Aspect-Emperor trilogy follows 

on from the acclaimed Prince of Nothing saga, and The 

White-Luck Warrior is the chilling second book in the new 

series. Ruler Anasûrimbor Kellhus and his Great Ordeal 

march ever farther into the Ancient North, as his consort 

Esmenet finds herself at war. Exiled wizard Achamian, 

meanwhile, leads his own ragtag mission to the legendary 

ruins of Sauglish. Into this tumult walks the White-Luck 

Warrior, assassin and messiah both . . . 

In this ambitious volume, Bakker delves even further 

into his richly imagined universe of myth, violence, and 

sorcery. 

Praise for the work of R. Scott Bakker: 

“A fine example of the new anti-epic fiction 

at its best . . . This is one of the more 

brilliant pieces of writing that you’re liable 

to read for a long time.” 

—Seattle Post-Intelligencer 

“Bakker has been praised by fans and 

critics around the world for his thoughtful, 

complex and meticulously detailed world, 

his colorful and credible characters, and 

his deviously intriguing, action-packed 

plotting.” —Globe and Mail 

“One of the major-league fantasy releases 

of 2011, the highly awaited The White- 

Luck Warrior by Scott Bakker . . . Nobody 

can deny the powerful nature of those 

books . . . Overall [Bakker’s books have] 

enriched the potential of the fantasy 

genre quite a lot.” —Fantasy Book Critic 

There is no name for this war; men cannot reference what transcends the short interval of 

their comprehension. It began when they were little more than savages roaming the wilds, 

in an age before script or bronze. An Ark, vast and golden, toppled from the void, scorching 

the horizon, throwing up a ring of mountains with the violence of its descent. And from it 

crawled the dread and monstrous Inchoroi, a race who had come to seal the World against 

the Heavens and so save the obscenities they called their souls.

introduction by susan cooke kittredge 

Reporting america 

the life of the nation: 1946-2004 

for nearly sixty years, alistair cooke reported on american life for the bbc. 

Reporting America is a fascinating account of history in the making. His beloved 

radio show, Letter from America, saw eleven presidents, four wars, and an 

incredible shift in culture. He adored the u.s. as only a naturalized citizen could, 

and his reports were incisive and often moving. cooke traveled extensively all 

over the united states to convey the views of citizens in all the nuances of 

regional opinion as well as those of the presidents and policy makers to whom 

he had easy access. 

susan cooke kittredge’s introduction offers rare insight into the life of her 

father, the man many knew as the voice of Letter from America and the host of 

cbs’s Omnibus and Pbs’s Masterpiece Theatre. Here are the triumphs, disasters 

and vicissitudes of american life—from korea, mccarthyism, the civil Rights 

movement, Jfk, the moon landings, Watergate, nixon’s resignation, clinton’s 

scandals, the attacks of 9/11, right up to the war with iraq—as told by one of 

the century’s most admired reporters. 

“A peerless observer of the American scene for almost 70 years . . . His 

observations were not only insightful but also gracefully written and 

often gently witty.” —The New York Times

Daughter of Providence 

a novel 

Julie Drew’s extraordinary novel is a breakthrough work in the tradition of 

Richard Russo and annie Proulx. summer, 1934: anne Dodge, raised by her 

old-money father in a small Rhode island coastal town, has always been told 

that her mother abandoned them. but then anne learns that she has a halfsister, 

maria cristina—and when maria cristina comes to live with anne and 

her father, ugly truths begin to surface about the family. 

Within a context of jazz, the end of Prohibition, and stifling gender expectations, 

Daughter of Providence is a gripping and seductive summer read. this story of 

loss and rediscovery will resonate with readers long after the final page. 

“An engrossing story of discovery, tragedy, and redemption … 

This is a book that stays with you.” 

—Sandra Dallas, author of The Bride’s House 

“Haunting, mesmerizing . . . this atmospheric and compelling historical 

tale will surely sweep the reader into the past.” —Library Journal 

“In real life, societal expectations take over the show. ‘Success’ is first 

class, and the heart is second class. In this moving tale . . . the firstclass 

price tag is paid with those hearts.”

The award-winning CIA thriller by “a uniquely 

gifted, passionate, and powerful writer” 

(Alan Furst) 

R. J. Ellory’s latest paperback is his most timely, menacing 

serial killer novel yet. As in his globally acclaimed A 

Quiet Belief in Angels, it is a stunning work of suspense 

guaranteed to keep the reader awake at night. Set in 

Washington, embroiled in elections, it follows Detective 

Robert Miller as he is assigned to an unsettling murder 

case. He finds a serious complication: the victims do not 

officially exist. Their personal details do not register on 

any known systems. And as Miller unearths ever more 

disturbing facts, he starts to face truths about the corrupt 

world he lives in—truths so far removed from his own 

reality that he begins to fear for his life. 

As CrimeSquad described it, “this is a book with everything 

that a fan of modern mystery fiction could hope for: a 

labyrinthine plot, unbearable tension, controvery, and a 

social conscience.”

psychological depth.” 

—Jonathan Kellerman 

It is then that Catherine hears something. She thinks to turn, but doesn’t dare. A sudden rush 

of something in the base of her gut. Wants to turn now. Wants so desperately to turn around 

and look him square in the face, but knows that if she does this she will break down, she 

will scream and cry and plead for this to happen some other way, and it’s too late now, too 

late to go back . . . too late after everything that’s happened, everything that they’ve done, 

everything they’ve learned and what it all meant . . .

The irresistible newest novel by the bestselling 

Max Frei, set in a magical city where losers 

make good 

The Labyrinths of Echo series—the adventures of Max, 

who was once a loser but discovers a new world—has 

been an international literary sensation since its debut. In 

this second installment, Sir Max is still a hardened smoker, 

an uncomplicated glutton, and a loafer, but once again he 

gets lucky. He travels to the parallel world of Echo, where 

magic is commonplace and where he fits right in. 

Plunging back into the astounding and absurd realm first 

portrayed in The Stranger (Fandomania.com’s #1 Book

The dinner finally came to an end. Out of the folds of the Mantle of Death I ceremoniously

cigarettes. Since that day I’ve never known what I would find when I reach my hand into 

that sinning Chink. In any case, I’ve learned that everything comes in handy sooner or later. 

Well, nearly everything.

engineers of the soul 

the Grandiose Propaganda of stalin’s Russia 

frank Westerman draws the reader into the wild euphoria of the Russian 

Revolution, as art and reality are bent to radically new purposes. Writers of 

renown, described by stalin as “engineers of the soul,” were encouraged to 

sing the praises of canal and dam construction under titles such as Energy: The 

Hydraulic Power Station and Onward, Time! but their enthusiasm—spontaneous 

and idealistic at first—soon became an obligatory song of praise. and as these 

colossal waterworks led to slavery and destruction, soviet writers, such as 

maxim Gorky, isaak babel, konstantin Paustovsky, and boris Pasternak, were 

forced to labor on in the service of a deluded totalitarian society. 

combining investigative journalism with literary history, Engineers of the Soul is 

a journey through contemporary Russia and soviet-era literature. Westerman 

examines both the culture landscape under stalin’s rule and the book—and 

lives of writers caught in the wheels of the soviet system. 

“Engagingly written and extensively researched, the book covers 

compelling historical and literary ground.” —Financial Times 

“Fascinating . . . In addition to tracing the Soviet style and telling 

the stories of individual writers, Westerman also follows routes these 

authors traveled.” —Cleveland Plain Dealer 




frank westerman lived and worked in moscow from 1997 to 2002 

as correspondent for the leading Dutch NRC Handelsblad newspaper. 

Westerman is the author of seven books, including Ararat.

churchill’s War lab 

code-breakers, scientists, and the mavericks 

churchill led to Victory 

indefatigable patriot, seasoned soldier, incomparable orator, and, with franklin 

Delano Roosevelt, leader of men—Winston churchill’s greatness in the allies’ 

triumphant victory in World War ii is undisputed. yet of his many unique 

qualities, churchill’s enduring legacy is attributable at least in equal part to his 

unshakeable fascination for the science of war. 

Churchill’s War Lab reveals how churchill’s passion for military history, his 

inimitable leadership style, and his dedicated support of radical ideas would 

lead to new technologies and tactics that would enable an allied victory. no 

war generated more incredible theories, technical advances, and scientific 

leaps. from the development of radar and the decoding brilliance of bletchley 

Park to the study of the D-Day beaches and the use of bouncing bombs, 

Churchill’s War Lab is an exciting new take on churchill as a complex, powerful, 

and inventive war leader. 

“A vivid and fast-paced retelling of Churchill’s remarkable career— 

from callow correspondent to battle-hardened leader of men.” 

—Financial Times 

“A valuable addition to World War II history, to the history of modern 

technology, and of course to Churchilliana.” —Booklist

to Russian theater. He founded theaters, directed plays and opera, was a 

theater historian, and wrote some thirty plays. as a playwright he explored

resources including music, dance, color, plays-within-plays, disguises, complex 

plots, and surprise endings. 

long unavailable, this essential anthology contains translations of five plays; 

evreinov’s best known, The Main Thing, which in its time was produced by 

Pirandello’s theater and then on broadway starring edward G. Robinson and 

lee strasberg, as well as A Merry Death, The Ship of the Righteous, The Theater 

of the Soul, and The Theater of the Eternal War. Rounding out the volume 

is an extensive introduction by christopher collins, written in consultation 

with evreinov’s widow, and many rare illustrations and photographs, including 

portraits of evreinov, sketches of sets by the playwright, and photographs from 

productions in nyc, Paris, milan, and Warsaw.

articles have appeared in the Russian Literature Triquarterly and Slavic and 

East European Journal.

the Walking Dead 

a young man starts a journey from a village in saudi arabia. if his mission 

succeeds, he will die a martyr—and many innocents will die with him. 

meanwhile, a london protection officer begins to realize that one man’s 

terrorist is another man’s freedom fighter. the suicide bomber and the policeman 

will have equal cause to question the roads they’ve chosen. The Walking Dead 

is a breathtakingly suspenseful thriller about the world in which we live, with 

all its dangers and complexities. With intelligence and deep understanding, 

seymour—“the best spy novelist ever” (The Philadelphia Inquirer)—shows us 

the choices we are forced to make, and their consequences. 

Rat Run 

by the author who “isn’t just abreast of the headlines, [but] ahead of them” 

(The Washington Post), this is a novel at once international and personal—and 

altogether riveting. malachy kitchen is an intelligence officer in iraq. accused of 

cowardice, he becomes a recluse in a drug-infested housing project back home. 

but the mugging of an elderly widow draws him into the fight—his target is the 

network of substance dealers, and at their head is Ricky capel. untouchable 

up to now, capel will have to confront an enemy more driven than any he has 

so far outwitted. 

“Suspense master Seymour dazzles with commanding language and 

meticulous detail.” —Entertainment Weekly 

“Not since the arrival of John le Carré has the emergence of an 

international suspense novelist been as stunning as that of Gerald 

Seymour.” —Los Angeles Times 




gerald seYmour spent fifteen years as an international television news 

reporter, specializing in the subject of terrorism. His first novel was the 

acclaimed Harry’s Game. He has since written twenty-four more novels, six
