bill maher is the host of Hbo’s Real Time and hosted comedy<br />
central and abc’s Politically Incorrect for ten years. He has<br />
created nine stand-up comedy specials, and garnered twentyseven<br />
emmy nominations thus far. in 2008, maher produced<br />
Religulous, the seventh-highest-grossing documentary in history.
New York Times bestselling author Bill Maher<br />
serves up a savagely funny set of rules for<br />
preserving sanity in an insane world.<br />
Media, celebrity, Democrats, Republicans, religion,<br />
children, marine life, electronics, that couple making<br />
out in the next booth—when it comes to lighting up his<br />
targets, Bill Maher is an equal-opportunity destroyer. The<br />
New New Rules is a collection of Maher’s new and best-<br />
loved observations about the world around us, along with<br />
some modest tips for its improvement. Because wouldn’t<br />
life be a little better if the inside of the office microwave<br />
didn’t look like a Jackson Pollock painting, or if fathers<br />
stopped signing up their nine-year-olds to win free<br />
hunting trips? Scathingly funny and relentlessly unafraid<br />
of sensitive topics, Maher’s hilarious brand of realism is<br />
more welcome and necessary than ever. So sit back, read<br />
on, and enjoy. You may not agree with all his <strong>view</strong>s, but<br />
one thing’s for certain: If you’re listening, you’re laughing.<br />
“One of the establishment’s most<br />
entertaining critics.”<br />
—The New York Times<br />
“Pundit Bill Maher courts controversy you<br />
say? He calls it telling the truth.”<br />
—Entertainment Weekly<br />
New Rule: The next Republican Convention must be held in a giant closet. Every week<br />
there’s a new gay Republican outed. I have a feeling that “big tent” they’re always talking<br />
about is in their pants. There are so many Republicans in the closet, their symbol shouldn’t<br />
be an elephant; it should be a moth.<br />

“A serious (and seriously funny) travelogue.”<br />
—National Geographic<br />
What happens when an unadventurous adventure writer<br />
tries to re-create the original expedition to Machu<br />
Picchu? In 1911, Hiram Bingham III climbed into the<br />
Andes Mountains of Peru and “discovered” the famed<br />
archeological site. While history has recast Bingham<br />
as a liar and a thief, Mark Adams set out to retrace the<br />
explorer’s perilous path in search of the truth—except he’d<br />
written about adventure far more than he’d actually lived<br />
it. In fact, he’d never even slept in a tent.<br />
Appealing to history buffs, armchair travelers, and actual<br />
adventurers alike, Turn Right at Machu Picchu is Adams’<br />
acclaimed account of his journey through some of the<br />
world’s most majestic, historic, and remote landscapes.<br />
“An engaging, informative guide to all<br />
things Inca.” —Entertainment Weekly<br />
“The perfect way to acknowledge the lost<br />
city’s 100th birthday.”<br />
—The Christian Science Monitor<br />
(#1 on the “20 Smartest Nonfiction Titles<br />
for Summer Reading” list)<br />
“A story that hooks readers early and then<br />
sails along so interestingly that it’s one<br />
of those ‘can’t put it down’ books. What<br />
more could armchair adventurers want?”<br />
—The Associated Press<br />
“[An] entirely delightful book.”<br />
—The Washington Post<br />
John’s “martini explorer” comment had unnerved me a little—compared to Bingham, I was a<br />
white-wine spritzer explorer—so before committing to anything, I thought I should mention<br />
that it had been a while since I had slept outdoors. What came out of my mouth instead was<br />
“I might not be completely up-to-date on the latest tent-erecting methods.” “That’s all right,”<br />
John said. “We’ll need mules for a trip like this and the arrieros—the muleteers—can set<br />
up the tents. How do you feel about food?” “Sorry?” “You like cooked food?” John asked. I<br />
admitted that I did, in fact, have a weakness for victuals prepared over heat.<br />

A New York Times bestseller and “a deeply felt<br />
memoir” (Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times)<br />
Even after his death in 2004, Ronald Reagan remains<br />
one of America’s most popular and beloved presidents.<br />
Though numerous candidates will undoubtedly invoke his<br />
name in the run-up to the 2012 presidential election, he is<br />
a man whom history and his own privacy have conspired<br />
to turn into a remote icon.<br />
Ron Reagan celebrates his late father’s life by visiting the<br />
towns that shaped him, sharing both his own memories<br />
and a unique portrait of a young “Dutch” Reagan. Part<br />
memoir, part family history, part evocation of a bygone<br />
America, My Father at 100 is a candid and affectionate<br />
portrait that will be widely embraced by readers of all<br />
political stripes.<br />
“His sensitive and arresting memoir about<br />
’Dad,’ as he calls his father throughout, is<br />
especially good when exploring the human<br />
puzzle.” —Russell Baker,<br />
The New York Re<strong>view</strong> of Books<br />
“Honest and compelling . . . a worthy<br />
memoir.” —Kirkus Re<strong>view</strong>s<br />
“Ron Reagan has indeed created an<br />
enduring tribute.” —Diane Bradley,<br />
New York Journal of Books<br />
“A nicely written, richly felt book.”<br />
—Julia Keller, Chicago Tribune<br />
“Whether or not you agreed with his<br />
politics—and his son often did not—you<br />
come away feeling that the 40th president<br />
was a man perfectly suited to lifeguarding<br />
the free world.”<br />
—Abigail Klein, The Jerusalem Post<br />
This is not a political biography—that’s a job best left for others. Neither does this book<br />
pretend to be an encyclopedic recounting of his entire life. It is simply my attempt to come<br />
to grips with the father with whom I grew up, with a public figure both revered and reviled<br />
and, most important, with a human being in all his stubborn enigma. Everyone thinks he<br />
knows Ronald Reagan, but those who truly knew him best still grapple with the enduring<br />
mystery of his inner character. I’m hoping that some light might penetrate that mystery if I<br />
can focus on the man I knew through the lens of his early, formative years.<br />

“The Singles skew everything” in a comedic,<br />
affecting wedding novel in which neither bride<br />
nor groom but five solo guests take center stage.<br />
Take an instantly recognizable social dilemma—attending a wedding alone—add a good<br />
laugh (and maybe a cry), and meet The Singles, the warm and witty debut by Boston Globe<br />
“Love Letters” columnist, Meredith Goldstein.<br />
Beth “Bee” Evans’s first vow as a bride is that everyone on her list be invited to bring a guest<br />
to her lavish Chesapeake Bay nuptials. When Hannah, Vicki, Rob, Joe, and Nancy one by one<br />
decline Bee’s generous offer, the frustrated bride dubs them the “Singles,” adrift on her seating<br />
chart as well as in life. The motivations—from bad breakups to career crises to misplaced<br />
nostalgia—behind their collective decision set in motion a rollicking, romantic, reflective tale<br />
of adulthood, with all its promise and heartbreak. Alone together, the “Singles” take their next<br />
precarious yet inspiring steps along life’s unpredictable path.<br />
It would have been acceptable in a recession for Bee to invite singles to the wedding<br />
without a plus-one, but Bee wanted every guest to have the option of bringing a companion.<br />
But the Singles had chosen to come alone, and Bee just couldn’t understand it. When she<br />
was a Single, Bee resented brides who didn’t give her a plus-one simply because she didn’t<br />
have a serious boyfriend. Bee vowed that when she got married, she’d grant plus-ones to<br />
everyone. No one would have to be alone. Almost everyone on the invite list had taken Bee<br />
up on her offer. Except for the Singles, who, in Bee’s opinion, were adrift not only on her<br />
dry-erase board but also in life.<br />

Head over Heels<br />
a novel<br />
a year after the breakup of her marriage, lee is struggling to make ends<br />
meet at her small yoga studio in la’s trendy silver lake and competing against<br />
celebrity teachers with agents, publicists, and managers.<br />
When she’s offered a teaching stint at a high-profile yoga festival in the california<br />
mountains, she has to decide between standing by her principles—and those<br />
of the man she’s just started dating—and the lure of becoming a “star.”<br />
it would be easier if her four friends would join her, but from commitmentphobic<br />
katherine’s unexpected pregnancy to Graciela’s attempts to resist an<br />
internationally famous baseball player, each has problems of her own.<br />
Head Over Heels explores the burgeoning world of commercialized yoga,<br />
celebrity teachers, and Woodstock-like yoga gatherings with the warmth,<br />
humor, and insider knowledge that made Tales from the Yoga Studio so special.<br />

the Rise of the concert industry and<br />
How the Public Got scalped<br />
Ticket Masters sheds light upon the complex relationships between artists,<br />
promoters, ticketing agents, and the public like no other book on the shelves.<br />
the authors chronicle the as-yet-untold story of the modern concert industry,<br />
revealing the origins, development, and ongoing strategies of companies<br />
such as ticketmaster, live nation, and stubHub and the efforts of numerous<br />
independent competitors. With over a hundred exclusive inter<strong>view</strong>s along with<br />
many previously unreleased documents, this character-driven book explores<br />
the actions and impact of the iconoclasts guiding these companies while folding<br />
in related tales of scalping syndicates, old-school music promoters, and wouldbe<br />
internet tycoons along with the brash business decisions of such worldrenowned<br />
groups as the Grateful Dead, Pearl Jam, and the Rolling stones.<br />
this book answers the questions:<br />
• How and why do concerts sell out so fast?<br />
• Why do service fees vary on tickets to the same event?<br />
• Why isn’t ticketmaster considered an illegal monopoly?<br />
• and just how did ticket prices get so high, anyway?<br />

The riveting sequel to the New York Times<br />
bestseller and literary phenomenon,<br />
The Magicians<br />
With The Magicians, Lev Grossman earned the<br />
admiration of readers and fans alike, shattering the limits<br />
of conventional fantasy writing by imagining magic as<br />
practiced in the real world by fallible people, unfettered<br />
by fictional notions of good and evil.<br />
The Magician King returns to Fillory, where Quentin is<br />
now king. He embarks on a heroic quest accompanied<br />
by his old friend Julia, who made it to Fillory despite<br />
failing the Brakebills entrance exam. Instead, he and<br />
Julia—whose genius is thrilling—must harness the magic<br />
of Brakebills and the explosive sorcery Julia learned in the<br />
streets to defeat a sinister threat in a world far from the<br />
bright fantasy novels they read as children. Once again,<br />
Grossman proves he is the modern heir to C. S. Lewis and<br />
the cutting edge of literary fantasy.<br />

“Forget fiction. Pop this jaw-dropper in your<br />
beach bag.” —USA Today<br />
True crime doesn’t get any better than this: In 2008, Clark<br />
Rockefeller, wealthy scion of a great American family,<br />
made headlines when he kidnapped his own daughter and<br />
vanished. The police and FBI were baffled. Tips poured<br />
in, but every lead was a dead end . . . because “Clark<br />
Rockefeller” did not exist.<br />
In a gripping work of investigative journalism, Mark<br />
Seal reveals how German native Christian Gerhartsreiter<br />
came to the United States, where he assumed a parade<br />
of personas, eventually posing as a Rockefeller for<br />
twelve years, married to a woman who had no idea of<br />
his true identity. Fast-paced and grippingly told, The Man<br />
in the Rockefeller Suit is The Talented Mr. Ripley come<br />
compellingly to life.<br />
“A brisk narrative that has all the pace<br />
and drive of a suspense novel.”<br />
—Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times<br />
“Riveting.” —O, The Oprah Magazine<br />
“No mystery writer would script this—it’s<br />
too unbelievable.”<br />
—The Christian Science Monitor<br />
“[An] impeccably reported and fascinating<br />
book.” —Los Angeles Times<br />
“Irresistibly lucid and propulsive . . .<br />
Impossible to put down—Patricia<br />
Highsmith couldn’t have written a more<br />
compelling thriller.”<br />
—Kirkus Re<strong>view</strong>s (starred re<strong>view</strong>)<br />
“Fascinating.” —People (four stars)<br />
“In striking detail . . . [Seal] unravels the<br />
complex and fantastically bizarre tale of a<br />
man aspiring to the American Dream by<br />
any means necessary.” —NPR<br />
When the fingerprints came back from the lab, one thing was finally clear: the kidnapper<br />
was definitely not a Rockefeller. He was Christian Karl Gerhartsreiter, a forty-seven-year-old<br />
German immigrant who had come to America as a student in 1978. Shortly after his arrival,<br />
he disappeared into what the Boston district attorney would call “the longest con I’ve seen<br />
in my professional career.” The elaborate, labyrinthine nature of Gerhartsreiter’s shapeshifting<br />
adventures, from the time he set foot in this country as a seventeen-year-old student<br />
right up to his disappearance, makes his story more bizarre than any gifted writer of fiction<br />
could possibly invent.<br />

sugar raY leonard worked as a boxing analyst for abc and<br />
Hbo after retiring from the ring. He lives with his wife and two<br />
children in california.
The New York Times bestselling autobiography<br />
of one of America’s greatest boxing legends<br />
Along with Muhammad Ali, “Sugar” Ray Leonard remains<br />
one of the most popular and successful boxers of all time.<br />
But who was the man behind the cool façade?<br />
In Washington, D.C., during the 1970s, a black man could<br />
get into the newspapers only one of two ways: crime—or<br />
boxing. Ray chose to fight. After winning a gold medal<br />
at the 1976 Olympics, his family’s financial needs made<br />
him go pro. All the while, another, darker Ray—one<br />
overwhelmed by depression, rage, drug addiction, sexual<br />
abuse, and greed—battled for dominance. The Big Fight<br />
is a top-notch sports memoir and an honest and inspiring<br />
portrait of the rise, fall, and ultimate redemption of a true<br />
fighter.<br />
“The intelligence and self-reflection that<br />
helped Sugar Ray become one of the<br />
greatest fighters of his generation, have<br />
also stood him in good stead outside the<br />
arena.” —The Boston Globe<br />
“Champions come and go, but to be<br />
legendary you got to have heart, more<br />
heart than the next man, more than<br />
anyone in the world. Ray’s heart was<br />
bigger than all the rest. He would never<br />
stop fighting.” —Muhammad Ali<br />
My eyes never lie. There they are, open wide, in the mirror of the dressing room at Caesars<br />
Palace in Las Vegas. Those eyes would reveal which of the two dueling personalities would<br />
enter the ring as I took on the most intimidating opponent of my career: Marvin Hagler . . .<br />
Would it be Sugar Ray Leonard, true American hero since capturing the gold medal in<br />
Montreal more than a decade earlier? Sugar Ray was resilient, fearless, unwilling to accept<br />
failure. The smile and innocence of a child would be gone, replaced in the ring by a man<br />
filled with rage he did not understand . . . Or would it be Ray Leonard, the part-time boxer<br />
at the age of thirty whose best was well behind him, his days and nights wasted on fights<br />
which never made the headlines, fights he lost over and over, to alcohol and cocaine abuse<br />
and depression?<br />

chaz bono lives with his partner in los angeles.
The New York Times bestseller that garnered<br />
a deluge of media attention and cheers of<br />
support from coast to coast<br />
The world first met Chaz Bono as Sonny and Cher’s<br />
cherubic blonde daughter. But Chaz hardly remembers<br />
that little girl. Instead, he remembers growing up in the<br />
public eye feeling that his whole existence was a lie. Even<br />
after coming out as a lesbian, Chaz still felt unfulfilled.<br />
Finally—after grappling with gender confusion, failed<br />
relationships, the loss of a parent, drug addiction, and a<br />
journey toward sobriety—Chaz began taking hormones to<br />
begin his transition from female to male.<br />
Inspirational for anyone who wants a life different from<br />
the one they are living, deeply moving, and breathtakingly<br />
honest, Transition is a riveting story about one man’s<br />
triumphant struggle—against the odds—to be his best self.<br />
“Transition is not only about the journey<br />
from female to male; more importantly, it’s<br />
about the journey from fear to courage.”<br />
—Jennifer Finney Boylan, bestselling<br />
author of She’s Not There and<br />
I’m Looking Through You<br />
“By putting a face to his particular need<br />
for transformation, Chaz Bono has done<br />
something special in writing Transition,<br />
and something valuable and laudable<br />
as well. He has helped us to better<br />
understand Chaz Bono—and in doing so,<br />
he has helped us to better understand<br />
ourselves.” —New York Journal of Books<br />
I experienced another incredible moment of clarity about myself. I understood for the first<br />
time that I couldn’t focus on how others were going to react if I transitioned. I could not<br />
possibly control their reactions, their feelings, or their behaviors toward me. I had been so<br />
consumed with not upsetting anyone, but I could not continue deferring my own needs.<br />
Now I accepted that these people were all adults. It wasn’t my job to make them okay; they<br />
had to make themselves okay with me. Which meant that the only person really in my way<br />
was myself.<br />

an african affair<br />
a novel<br />
corruption, drug smuggling, rampant human rights abuses—new york<br />
journalist lindsay cameron finds plenty to report covering the regime of<br />
nigeria’s president michael olumide. but in the aftermath of two probable<br />
assassinations, her inquiries attract unwanted government attention. as rebel<br />
factions call for free elections, lindsay races to penetrate the intricate network<br />
of corrupt government officials, oil interests, and cia agents who really run the<br />
nigerian show. meanwhile, a rare art dealer—who clearly is up to more than<br />
he seems—entangles her in an altogether different way.<br />
Drawing from nina Darnton’s own experiences living in africa—including<br />

the art of forgetting<br />
a novel<br />
marissa Rogers has always been just fine as a beta. after all, hadn’t taking<br />
charge without taking credit always paid off? it’s what vaulted her to senior<br />
editor at a glossy—if somewhat tedious—health magazine and let her be best<br />
friends with gorgeous, charismatic, absolutely alpha Julia ferrar.<br />
and then Julia is hit by a cab. Her external injuries are minor, but brain damage<br />
steals her memory and alters her personality. suddenly, marissa must assume<br />
the alpha role and help Julia recover her past—including parts they’d both<br />
rather forget. in her finely wrought debut novel, magazine writer camille noe<br />
Pagán movingly explores friendship, memory, and the delicate balance between<br />
forgiving and forgetting.<br />
“Beautiful . . . a must read!” —Glamour.com<br />
“This impressive debut is . . . (dare I say it?) unforgettable.”<br />

Dumb History<br />
the stupidest mistakes ever made<br />
Why do we get so much pleasure out of hearing about other people’s<br />
mistakes? if anyone knows, it’s former national lampoon contributing editor<br />
and bestselling author Joey Green. He’s cataloged history’s most boneheaded<br />
blunders, including:<br />
• in 820 ce, an herbalist designed an anti-aging elixir for emperor Hsien<br />
tsung—it killed him.<br />
• in 1849, brooklyn inventor Walter Hunt invented and patented the<br />
safety pin and then sold all the rights to his invention for $400, never<br />
receiving another penny for it. a century later, the united states<br />
produced an estimated five billion safety pins annually. Hunt died broke<br />
in 1859.<br />
• in the 1930s, a newspaper to which novelist Rudyard kipling subscribed<br />
incorrectly announced his death. in a letter to the editor, kipling wrote:<br />
“i’ve just read that i am dead. Don’t forget to delete me from your list<br />
of subscribers.”<br />
trivia and history buffs as well as anyone who enjoys feeling superior to their<br />
fellow humans will devour Dumb History.<br />

Kelley Armstrong is one of Urban Fantasy’s most beloved<br />
authors and a pioneer who helped build it into the white-<br />
hot genre it has become today. Speaking of hot, Armstrong<br />
brings back Savannah Levine in Spell Bound—and she’s<br />

On the run from witch-hunting assassins, Savannah<br />

existence of the supernatural world. In a relentlessly<br />
paced book that brings together witches and werewolves,<br />

Otherworld favorites like Elena, Clay, Paige, Lucas, Jaime,<br />
Hope, and more in a high-stakes battle royale.<br />

P. l. Gaus and his acclaimed amish-country mysteries are captivating a<br />
growing audience of readers intrigued by his nuanced depictions of this<br />
secluded segment of america increasingly challenged by the modern world.<br />
in Harmless as Doves, the chill of autumn is just settling into Holmes county,<br />
ohio, when bishop leon shetler is startled out of his morning reverie<br />
by the words, “i just killed Glenn spiegle.” no one—least of all sherriff bruce<br />
Robertson—believes that crist burkholder could actually be a murderer.<br />
so when there’s news of two potentially related murders in florida’s<br />
Pinecraft amish community, Professor mike branden and detective Ricky<br />
niell head south to unravel the connection between the dead man and a farflung<br />
amish outpost on the shores of sarasota bay.<br />

When looking at the latest home décor and furnishing<br />
catalogs that have stuffed up your mailbox, do you try<br />

Then, do you wonder: who actually puts balls of twine<br />
on their dining room table for decoration? Pushed too far<br />
by a photo depicting a plate of figs placed under a table,<br />
actor and Second City–trained comedian Molly Erdman<br />
asked herself that same question. Thus, Gary and Elaine—<br />

Guaranteed to entertain fans of home décor books and<br />

How stem cell medicine can change our lives<br />
no one is better poised to report the facts about stem cell research than alice<br />
Park. During her fifteen-plus years covering health and medical issues for Time<br />
magazine, Park has seen the limitations of drugs and pharmaceutical products<br />
in the fight against diseases like cancer, diabetes, and alzheimer’s. but what if<br />
tissues damaged by disease could be replaced with a patient’s own healthy cells?<br />
Park shares a compelling history of stem cell research, from the personal<br />
tragedy that fueled the founding of the Harvard stem cell institute to the<br />
Japanese researcher who recently coaxed stem cells from mouse skin. Destined<br />
to become the go-to book on the subject, The Stem Cell Hope masterfully<br />
chronicles one of modern medical science’s most exciting frontiers.<br />

Denmark’s #1 crime writer introduces<br />
America to Department Q<br />
Many Scandinavian crime writers have been hailed as<br />
the new Stieg Larsson, but few have what it really takes<br />
to captivate American audiences. Dark, propulsive, and<br />
riveting, Jussi Adler-Olsen’s Department Q series sells<br />
1 million copies every year in Denmark alone, and—like<br />
Larsson and Henning Mankell—he’s won the prestigious<br />
Glass Key Award. Now, The Keeper of Lost Causes shows<br />
American readers what they’ve been missing.<br />
Carl Mørck used to be one of Copenhagen’s best<br />
detectives—until a bullet lands him in the basement with<br />
only a stack of cold cases for company. His colleagues<br />
snicker, but Carl may have the last laugh, because one file<br />
keeps nagging at him: a liberal politician who vanished<br />
five years earlier, now presumed dead. But she isn’t<br />
dead . . . yet.<br />
“Far from being just another morose<br />
Nordic crime writer, Adler-Olsen creates a<br />
detective whose curiosity is as active as his<br />
soul is tortured.”<br />
—Library Journal (starred re<strong>view</strong>)<br />
“The pages fly by as the twisty puzzle<br />
unfolds. Stieg Larsson fans will be<br />
delighted.”<br />
—Publishers Weekly (starred re<strong>view</strong>)<br />
“Adler-Olsen’s prose is superior to Larsson’s,<br />
his tortures are less discomfiting, and he<br />
has a sense of humor.”<br />
—Booklist (starred re<strong>view</strong>)<br />
“The new ‘it’ boy of Nordic Noir.”<br />
—The Times (London)<br />
“The Keeper of Lost Causes is dark,<br />
atmospheric, and compelling. Those who<br />
loved The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo will<br />
devour this book.” —C. J. Box, New York<br />
Times bestselling author of Cold Wind<br />
She was going to look after herself. For them she was the woman in the cage, but she<br />
was the one who decided how far apart the bars would be. She would think thoughts that<br />
opened out onto the world and kept madness at bay. They would never break her. That’s<br />
what she decided as she lay there on the floor, her shoulder throbbing fiercely and the<br />
swelling around her eye forcing it closed.<br />
Someday she would get out of here.<br />

One of the world’s most popular and revered<br />
alternative thinkers shares his blueprints for the<br />
coming Golden Age<br />
More than 2 million people have seen David Wilcock’s<br />
Internet documentary, “The 2012 Enigma,” and thousands<br />
more visit his website every day to learn his insights about<br />
Convergence—the shift in consciousness that will prove<br />
all life on Earth is united.<br />
In a stunning synthesis of hidden science and lost<br />
prophecies, Wilcock illuminates the connections between<br />
DNA transformation, wormholes, ancient conspiracies, the<br />
Maya calendar, and a new model of galactic energy fields<br />
triggering mental, biological, and spiritual evolution. As<br />
the pivotal year unfolds, legions of believers will turn to<br />
The Source Field Investigations for Wilcock’s wisdom and<br />
guidance in manifesting the next Golden Age.<br />
“A magnificent case . . . that a Golden Age<br />
is indeed within our grasp.”<br />
—from the foreword by Graham Hancock,<br />
author of Fingerprints of the Gods<br />
“We are not alone in the universe. And we<br />
have David Wilcock to prove it—and to<br />
guide us to this golden prophecy.”<br />
—James V. Hart<br />
“The author writes a narrative as fast-paced<br />
and scintillating as a sci-fi novel.”<br />
—Kirkus Re<strong>view</strong>s<br />
“Read this book.”<br />
—Omega New Age Directory<br />
We all want to make this world a better place, and now we have a new set of tools to help<br />
us do it. We are not victims, and we are definitely not alone. The Universe may well be a<br />
conscious superbeing, encouraging us to make a quantum leap in our own understanding of<br />
who and what we are—and giving us the solar system—wide galactic energy boost we need<br />
to get there.<br />

unlocking the Hidden Potential of the Dyslexic brain<br />
if you ask contractors, engineers, rocket scientists, or even famous mystery<br />
novelists if they had trouble with reading in school, many will answer, “yes,<br />
how did you know?”<br />
in The Dyslexic Advantage, neurolearning experts brock and fernette eide<br />
explain why: their brains are different. they explain how individuals with<br />
dyslexia conceive space more intuitively, see connections between unrelated<br />
objects, and are able to make great leaps creatively that others simply miss.<br />
illustrated with intriguing case studies and the latest neurological research, this<br />
groundbreaking book explains the four areas in which dyslexics often excel<br />
and provides invaluable advice on how parents, educators, and individuals with<br />
dyslexia can maximize their potential.<br />

Why We thrive in the Rat Race<br />
People think that downtime will make them happy. some even dream about<br />
getting out of the rat race for good. but todd buchholz—a former White<br />
House director of economic policy, award-winning Harvard instructor,<br />
hedge fund director, and coproducer of a tony award–winning hit broadway<br />
show—proves that kind of thinking dead wrong. interweaving entertaining<br />
stories and cutting-edge research from neuroeconomics to evolutionary<br />
biology to Renaissance art to General motors, buchholz draws the<br />
counterintuitive—yet wholly convincing—conclusion that competition has not<br />
only made us taller and smarter, it’s what humans love and need. anyone<br />
who loves ayn Rand and hates big government will embrace this witty and<br />
provocative book.<br />

The unique life story of one of the most talented<br />
and inventive comedians, star of Shaun of the<br />
Dead, Hot Fuzz, Paul, Spaced, and Star Trek.<br />
Zombies in North London, death cults in the West<br />
Country, the engineering deck of the Enterprise—actor,<br />
comedian, writer, and supergeek Simon Pegg has been<br />
ploughing some bizarre furrows. Having landed on the<br />
U.S. movie scene in the surprise cult hit Shaun of the<br />
Dead, his enduring appeal and rise to movie stardom has<br />
been mercurial, meteoric, megatronic, but mostly just<br />
plain great.<br />
From his childhood (and subsequently adult) obsession<br />
with science fiction, his enduring friendship with Nick<br />
Frost, and his forays into stand-up comedy, which began<br />
with his regular Monday-morning slot in front of his twelve-<br />
year-old classmates, Simon has always had a severe and<br />
dangerous case of the funnies.<br />
Whether recounting his experience working as a lifeguard<br />
at the city pool, going to Comic-Con for the first time<br />
and confessing to Carrie Fisher that he used to kiss her<br />
picture every night before he went to sleep, or meeting<br />
and working with heroes that include Peter Jackson, Kevin<br />
Smith, and Quentin Tarantino, Pegg offers a hilarious look<br />
at the journey to becoming an international superstar.<br />
“An ideal summer read.” —Examiner.com<br />
“I read over one million books a year and<br />
this is the best book I have read in fifteen<br />
years.” —Kristen Wiig<br />
“When the hilarious Simon Pegg asked for<br />
a quote for his book, I said no.”<br />
—Ricky Gervais<br />
“How did a geeky kid with a love of Star<br />
Wars end up a cult film hero working with<br />
Steven Spielberg? Simon Pegg reveals<br />
much more.” —The Observer<br />
“The kind of personal history you wish all<br />
your four-color heroes would write but<br />
generally don’t.” —Austin Chronicle<br />

The first biography of Yo La Tengo,<br />
the massively influential band who all<br />
but defined indie music<br />
Yo La Tengo has lit up the indie scene for three decades,<br />
part of an underground revolution that defied corporate<br />
music conglomerates, eschewed radio-friendly hits, and<br />
found a third way. But unlike other indie groups, such as<br />
R.E.M. and Sonic Youth, Yo La Tengo actually managed to<br />
stay true to its roots, never switching to a major label.<br />
Going behind the scenes of one of the most remarkable<br />
eras in American music history, Big Day Coming traces<br />
the rise of husband-and-wife team Ira Kaplan and Georgia<br />
Hubley, who rocketed from the college radio circuit to the<br />
global stage, selling millions of records along the way and<br />
influencing countless bands.<br />
Blending the band’s story with legends of the clubs, the<br />
music reporters, the fans, and the pivotal figures in indie<br />
rock history, musician and journalist Jesse Jarnow draws<br />
on all-access inter<strong>view</strong>s and archives. A mesmerizing trip<br />
through a unique creative process, Big Day Coming is like<br />
a backstage pass to the singular sounds and sights of true<br />
legends.<br />

“Yo La Tengo can count themselves in<br />
the rare company of this group, elder<br />
statespeople operating in a genre where<br />
they’re influence-grandparents. And<br />
alongside peers Sonic Youth and the<br />
Flaming Lips…All three of those bands<br />
have reached a steady state where<br />
reinvention is unnecessary: They’re so<br />
frequently good they don’t even get a<br />
redemption story.” —Pitchfork.com<br />
“Whether it’s a single song or a career,<br />
they’re in it for the long haul.”<br />
—AVClub.com<br />
“Old dogs may have trouble with new<br />
tricks, but sometimes musicians have<br />
trouble sticking to the good tricks they<br />
know. Not so Yo La Tengo.” —Spin.com<br />

A fully illustrated graphic memoir of a child<br />
of the ’60s who was raised into a life of crime<br />
and addiction—but graduated to freedom<br />
Matthew Parker was in his mid-forties when he started college. He’d been sidetracked: Eleven years<br />
were eaten up by serving time in various county jails, state penitentiaries, and federal prison. He’d<br />
been arrested more than thirty times, racking up eight felonies in a crime career that began at age<br />
thirteen, when he started dealing pot. When he got out of prison for the last time and kicked his<br />
heroin addiction, he was determined to spend the next chapter of his life in the classroom. And he<br />
did just that, going on to complete a master’s degree from Columbia University’s highly competitive<br />
creative writing program.<br />
Through captivating black-and-white illustrations drawn in a distinctively primitive style, Larceny in<br />
My Blood flashes back on Parker’s childhood, with memories of a loving but lawless mother teaching<br />
him that breaking the law was the way to survive. From there it moves to an account of Parker’s<br />
lost decades, where he resorted to petty crime to support a heroin habit. After years of fighting the<br />
system, Parker sees the light and Larceny in My Blood becomes a poignant portrait of a man trying<br />
to find his way in the straight and narrow. A unique memoir, Parker’s images and words form a<br />
mesmerizing road to redemption.<br />

oscar Hijuelos<br />
thoughts Without cigarettes<br />
a memoir<br />
born in manhattan’s morningside Heights to cuban immigrants in 1951, oscar<br />
Hijuelos introduces readers to the colorful circumstances of his upbringing. the<br />
son of a cuban hotel worker and exuberant poetry-writing mother, his story,<br />
played out against the backdrop of a working-class neighborhood, takes on an<br />
even richer dimension when his relationship with his family and culture changes<br />
forever. During a sojourn with his mother in pre-castro cuba, he catches a<br />
disease that sends him into a Dickensian home for terminally ill children. the<br />
yearlong stay estranges him from the very language and people he had so loved.<br />
With a cast of characters whose stories are both funny and tragic, Thoughts<br />
Without Cigarettes follows Hijuelos’s subsequent quest for his true identity—a<br />
mystery whose resolution he eventually discovers hidden away in the trappings<br />
of his fiction, and which finds its most glorious expression in his best-known<br />
book, The Mambo Kings Play Songs of Love. illuminating the most dazzling scenes<br />
from his novels, Thoughts Without Cigarettes reveals the true stories and indelible<br />
memories that shaped a literary genius.<br />
“In Thoughts Without Cigarettes, a brilliant novelist reveals what makes<br />
him tick and where he and all his characters have come from, offering<br />
us a mesmerizing glimpse of that mystical realm where the grittiest of<br />
realities are transformed into art and memories are redeemed.”<br />

the Rules of the tunnel<br />
my brief Period of madness<br />
twenty-five million americans suffer from clinical depression. but ned Zeman<br />
never thought he’d be one of them. He had a great life and thriving career at<br />
Vanity Fair.<br />
then, at age thirty-two, anxiety and depression gripped Zeman with increasing<br />
violence and consequences. He experimented with therapist after therapist,<br />
medication after medication, hospital after hospital—including mclean<br />
Hospital, the facility famed for its treatment of writers, from sylvia Plath to<br />
susanna kaysen to David foster Wallace. Zeman eventually went further by<br />
trying electroconvulsive therapy, aka shock treatment.<br />
by the time it was over, Zeman had lost nearly two years’ of memory. He<br />
was a reporter with amnesia. He had no choice but to start from scratch, to<br />
reassemble the pieces of a life he didn’t remember and, increasingly, didn’t<br />
want to.<br />
by turns hilarious and heartbreaking, profane and hopeful, The Rules of the<br />
Tunnel is a guttural shout of a book that defies conventional notions about<br />
mood disorders, unlocks mysteries within mysteries, and proves that sometimes<br />
everything you’re looking for is right in front of you.<br />

What language is<br />
and What it isn’t and What it could be<br />
an eye-opening tour for all language lovers, What Language Is offers a fascinating<br />
new perspective on the way humans communicate. from vanishing languages<br />
spoken by a few hundred people to major tongues like chinese, and with<br />
copious revelations about the hodgepodge nature of english, John mcWhorter<br />
shows readers how to see and hear languages as a linguist does.<br />
Packed with big ideas about language alongside wonderful trivia, What<br />
Language Is explains how languages across the globe (the Queen’s english<br />
and suriname creoles alike) originate, evolve, multiply, and divide. Raising<br />
provocative questions about what qualifies as a language (so-called slang does<br />
have structured grammar), mcWhorter takes readers on a marvelous journey<br />
through time and place—from Persia to the languages of sri lanka—to deliver<br />
a feast of facts about the wonders of human linguistic expression.<br />
“A lucid and knowledgeable book...endlessly fascinating to language<br />
fanatics.” —Minneapolis Star Tribune<br />

marshall ulrich<br />
foreword by christopher mcDougall<br />
Running on empty<br />
an ultramarathoner’s story of love, loss, and<br />
a Record-setting Run across america<br />
the ultimate endurance athlete, marshall ulrich has run more than one<br />
hundred foot races averaging over one hundred miles each, completed twelve<br />
expedition-length adventure races, and ascended the seven summits—<br />
including mount everest. yet his run from california to new york—the<br />
equivalent of running two marathons and a 10k every day for nearly two<br />
months straight—proved to be his most challenging effort yet.<br />
in Running on Empty he shares the gritty backstory of his run and the excruciating<br />
punishments he endured on the road. ulrich also reaches back nearly thirty<br />
years to when the death of his first wife drove him to run from his pain.<br />
ulrich’s memoir imbues an incredible read with a universal message for athletes<br />
and nonathletes alike: face the toughest challenges, overcome debilitating<br />
setbacks, and find deep fulfillment in something greater than achievement.<br />

a leading neuroplasticity researcher and the coauthor of the groundbreaking<br />
books Brain Lock and The Mind and the Brain, Jeffrey m. schwartz has spent his<br />
career studying the human brain. He pioneered the first mindfulness-based<br />
treatment program for people suffering from ocD, teaching patients how to<br />
achieve long-term relief from their compulsions.<br />
schwartz works with psychiatrist Rebecca Gladding to refine a program that<br />
successfully explains how the brain works and why we often feel besieged<br />
by overactive brain circuits (i.e. bad habits, social anxieties, etc.) the key to<br />
making life changes that you want—to make your brain work for you—is<br />
to consciously choose to “starve” these circuits of focused attention, thereby<br />
decreasing their influence and strength.<br />
You Are Not Your Brain carefully outlines their program, showing readers how<br />
to identify negative impulses, channel them through the power of focused<br />
attention, and ultimately lead more fulfilling and empowered lives.<br />

The acclaimed, hotly debated<br />
#1 New York Times bestseller<br />
Few Americans have spent more time near the center of<br />
power than Donald Rumsfeld, whose widely commented<br />
on memoir offers many previously undisclosed details<br />
about his service with four U.S. presidents. We follow his<br />
rise from a middle-class childhood through the Navy to a<br />
seat in the U.S. Congress at age thirty, and his experiences<br />
there during the Vietnam War and the Civil Rights era. We<br />
also get his unique perspective as cabinet-level member<br />
for the Nixon and Ford administrations, as CEO of two<br />
Fortune 500 companies, and as a special envoy to the<br />
Middle East for President Reagan.<br />
Rumsfeld also addresses the challenges and controversies<br />
of his time as Secretary of Defense during the 9/11 attacks<br />
and the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. He includes candid<br />
observations on the differences of <strong>view</strong>s within the<br />
Pentagon and with other members of President George W.<br />
Bush’s National Security Council.<br />
In a famous press briefing, Rumsfeld once said that “There<br />
are also unknown unknowns . . . things we do not know we<br />
don’t know.” His book makes us realize just how much we<br />
didn’t know.<br />
“A serious stab at telling the history of a<br />
consequential period in America through<br />
the eyes of one of its most consequential<br />
players. “<br />
—Peter Baker, The New York Times<br />
“The first political memoir of the<br />
Information Age.” —Gordon Crovitz,<br />
The Wall Street Journal<br />
“Readers might be appreciative to find<br />
themselves in possession of a serious<br />
memoir, more in keeping with the older<br />
Washington tradition of Dean Acheson or<br />
Henry Kissinger.” —Kimberley Strassel,<br />
The Wall Street Journal<br />
“I don’t care whether you’re . . . a liberal or<br />
a conservative or something else: If you’re<br />
interested in this period of history, the<br />
book is a total feast.”<br />
—Jay Nordlinger, National Re<strong>view</strong><br />
“A meaty, well-written book that will be<br />
a primary source for historians . . . This<br />
power memoir deserves to be read with<br />
the care that went into writing it.”<br />

zac bissonnette graduated with an art history degree from<br />
the university of massachusetts/amherst in 2011. He has written<br />
for aol money & finance, time.com, the Boston Globe, the Daily<br />
Beast, and the New York Times, among other media outlets.
The bestselling author of Debt-Free U returns<br />
with an entertaining finance guide for<br />
twentysomethings<br />
Zac Bissonnette paid his own way through college and, in<br />
his junior year, wrote a bestseller about how anyone can<br />
get a great education without signing their dreams over<br />
to Sallie Mae. He won acclaim from some of the biggest<br />
names in personal finance, including Suze Orman, Dave<br />
Ramsey, Andrew Tobias, and David Bach. Now he’s back<br />
to help a group that desperately needs it: recent grads with<br />
passion, dreams, and debt-to-income ratios that make the<br />
federal government look like Warren Buffett.<br />
For many in their early twenties, newfound independence<br />
and peer pressure to splurge lead to decisions that could<br />
ruin their lives. But if they can be smart during their<br />
first ten years after college, young people can build a<br />
foundation for a life more secure, stable, and relaxed than<br />
those of their parents.<br />
Bissonnette offers fresh insights into everything from job<br />
hunting to buying a car to saving for retirement—with detours<br />
to discuss wine connoisseurs, Really Broke Housewives, and<br />
Lenny Dykstra. He reveals why FICO scores are overrated,<br />
<strong>online</strong> job applications are a waste of time, car loans are for<br />
suckers, and credit card rewards are a scam.<br />
Blending pop culture and serious research, this entertaining<br />
book will show you how to make good choices today so<br />
you can be richer, smarter (and better looking!) for years to<br />
come.<br />
Praise for Debt-Free U:<br />
“A real mule kick to the higher educational<br />
status quo . . . He’s a contrarian, and his<br />
book is packed with studies and statistics<br />
to back up his analysis. It’s a magical<br />
combination that college-bound students<br />
and their parents should read.”<br />
—USA Today<br />
“He has written the best and most<br />

seth Godin<br />
meatball sundae<br />
is your marketing out of sync?<br />
according to seth Godin, the many tactics of <strong>online</strong> marketing are like the<br />
toppings at an ice cream parlor. if you start with ice cream, adding cherries and<br />
hot fudge and whipped cream will make it taste great. but if you start with a<br />
bowl of meatballs . . . yuck!<br />
as traditional marketing declines, the latest tools of social media and other<br />
Web options seem irresistible. but they don’t work as well for boring brands<br />
(“meatballs”) that might still be profitable but don’t attract word of mouth.<br />
Meatball Sundae explains what to do about the increasing power of stories, not<br />
facts; about shorter and shorter attention spans; and about the new math that<br />
says five thousand people who want to hear your message are more valuable<br />
than five million who don’t.<br />
the winners aren’t just annoying start-ups run by twentysomethings who never<br />
had a real job. you’ll also meet older companies that have adapted brilliantly,<br />
such as blendtec, a thirty-year-old blender maker. it produces “Will it blend?”<br />
videos that demolish golf balls, coke cans, iPhones, and much more. for a few<br />
hundred dollars, blendtec reached more than ten million eager <strong>view</strong>ers on<br />
youtube.<br />

seth Godin<br />
all marketers are liars<br />
the underground classic that explains How<br />
marketing Really Works—and Why authenticity<br />
is the best marketing of all<br />
all marketers tell stories. and if they do it right, we believe them. We believe<br />
that wine tastes better in a $20 glass than a $1 glass. We believe that an<br />
$80,000 Porsche is vastly superior to a $36,000 Volkswagen that’s virtually the<br />
same car. We believe that $125 sneakers make our feet feel better—and look<br />
cooler—than a $25 brand.<br />
as seth Godin shows in this controversial book, great marketers tell a story—a<br />
story we want to believe, whether it’s factual or not. marketers succeed when<br />
they tell us a story that fits our world<strong>view</strong>, a story that we intuitively embrace<br />
and then share with our friends. think of the Dyson vacuum cleaner, or fiji<br />
water or the iPhone.<br />
but beware: if your stories are inauthentic, you cross the line from fib to fraud.<br />
marketers fail when they are selfish and scurrilous, when they abuse the tools<br />
of their trade and make the world worse. that’s a lesson learned the hard way<br />
by telemarketers, cigarette companies, and sleazy politicians.<br />
but for the rest of us, it’s time to embrace the power of the story. as Godin<br />
writes, “stories make it easier to understand the world. stories are the only<br />
way we know to spread an idea. marketers didn’t invent storytelling. they just<br />
perfected it.”<br />

Joe kernen and blake kernen<br />
your teacher said What?!<br />
trying to Raise a fifth Grade capitalist in<br />
obama’s america<br />
every morning on cnbc’s Squawk Box, Joe kernen asks challenging questions.<br />
and at home he does the same with his young daughter, blake. What are you<br />
learning in school? What tV shows do you like? What message did you get<br />
from that movie? your teacher said what?!<br />
When blake was nine, her answers told Joe that she had already absorbed a<br />
distorted <strong>view</strong> of economics—from her school, pop culture, and just about<br />
everywhere else. she was learning that capitalism is unavoidably immoral<br />
. . . that business people can’t be trusted, especially if they run big companies<br />
. . . that trade is bad because it hurts american workers . . . and that no matter<br />
how bad things get, the government will always bail us out.<br />
Joe was outraged. if he couldn’t fix our education system or Hollywood, at least<br />
he could teach blake how capitalism really works, and why it’s worth defending.<br />
He started by asking her to write down phrases she didn’t understand (“What’s<br />
physical stimulus?”). that led to discussions of ideas like credit and the time<br />
value of money; the good and bad aspects of unions; free trade vs. “fair” trade;<br />
and why universal health care in europe isn’t really free.<br />

a memoir by the cofounder of microsoft<br />
Paul allen has left his mark on numerous fields, from aviation and science to<br />

have transformed the way we live. in 2007 and again in 2008, Time named him<br />
one of the hundred most influential people in the world.<br />
microsoft started on a snowy day in December 1974, when allen was twentyone<br />
years old. after buying the new issue of Popular Electronics in Harvard<br />
square, he ran to show it to his best friend from seattle, bill Gates, then a<br />
Harvard undergrad. the magazine’s cover story featured the altair 8800, the<br />
first true personal computer; allen knew that he and Gates had the skills to<br />
code a programming language for it.<br />
While much has been written about microsoft’s early years, allen has never<br />
before told the story from his point of <strong>view</strong>. nor has he previously talked<br />
about the details of his relationship with Gates or his behind-closed-doors<br />
perspective on how a struggling start-up became the most powerful technology<br />
company in the world.<br />

John Jantsch<br />
the Referral engine<br />
teaching your business to market itself<br />
Word-of-mouth referrals are more important than ever. People trust the<br />
recommendation of a friend, colleague, or even a stranger with similar tastes<br />
over anything thrust at them by a faceless company.<br />
marketing expert John Jantsch offers practical techniques for harnessing<br />
the power of referrals to ensure a steady flow of new customers. the key<br />
lies in understanding the “customer Referral cycle” — the way customers<br />
refer others to your company who, in turn, generate even more referrals. if<br />
everyone in the organization keeps this in mind, Jantsch argues, your business<br />
will generate referrals like a well-oiled machine.<br />
“Frankly, I had no idea how John was going to top Duct Tape<br />
Marketing. But with The Referral Engine, John puts you in the driver’s<br />
seat and shows you the steps to achieving marketing success without a<br />
huge budget. Go no further. Buy this now.”<br />

How Jay-Z Went from street corner to corner office<br />
some people think Jay-Z is just another rapper. others see him as just another<br />
celebrity. the reality is, he is first and foremost a business. and as much as<br />
martha stewart or oprah, he has turned himself into a lifestyle brand.<br />
but despite Jay-Z’s fame, there are still many whose impressions of him are<br />
foggy, outdated, or simply incorrect. few know the details of how he honed his<br />
entrepreneurial philosophy not at a fancy business school but on the streets<br />
of brooklyn and beyond, as a drug dealer in the late 1980s and early 1990s.<br />
Empire State of Mind tells the story behind Jay-Z’s rise to the top as told<br />
by the people who lived it with him—from classmates at brooklyn’s George<br />
Westinghouse High school, to the childhood friend who got him into the drug<br />
trade, to the DJ who persuaded him to stop dealing and focus on music.<br />
Zack o’malley Greenburg draws on exclusive inter<strong>view</strong>s with hip-hop<br />
luminaries such as DJ clark kent, Questlove, Damon Dash, fab 5 freddy, nba<br />
stars Jamal crawford and sebastian telfair, and recording industry executives<br />

the Hidden Relationship between<br />
Wall street and Washington<br />
for decades, most people have assumed that the corner offices on Wall street<br />
are full of wealthy Republicans who lobby for low taxes and deregulation—<br />
while the Democrats, as defenders of the little guy, are the enemy of Goldman<br />
sachs, morgan stanley, and their ilk.<br />
but as top investigative reporter charles Gasparino proves, the truth is more<br />
complicated, and a lot more disturbing. When you get past their blustering<br />
public statements, leading Wall street executives have long been some of the<br />
biggest donors to liberal politicians, including barack obama in 2008. the fat<br />
cats know that the bigger big Government gets, the more business will trickle<br />
down to them. and they know that many of the Democrats’ calls for tough<br />
financial reform are just hot air, to pacify their left-wing base while maintaining<br />
the status quo.<br />
the reality? obama and the Democrats in congress have been bought and<br />
paid for by the same bad guys who wrecked the economy. the big banks are<br />
still allowed to make a killing from shady practices. meanwhile, the burden of<br />
higher taxes and regulations will fall on small business—the true engine of our<br />
economic growth—and on ordinary, hard-working, middle-class americans.<br />

malled<br />
my unintentional career in Retail<br />
after losing her job as a journalist and the security of a good salary, caitlin kelly<br />
was hard up for cash. so she got a job at the mall. suddenly she found herself,<br />
middle-aged and midcareer, thrown headfirst into the bizarre alternate reality<br />
of american retail: a world of low-wage workers selling overpriced goods.<br />
at first, kelly found her part-time job at the north face fun and reaffirming,<br />
a way to maintain her sanity and sense of self-worth. she thought it would be<br />
simple—after all, how hard could it be to hang up jackets and operate a cash<br />
register? but the unexpected physical pressures, the unreasonable dictates of<br />
a remote corporate bureaucracy, and the dead-end career path eventually<br />
took their toll. as she struggled through more than two years at the mall,<br />
despite surgeries, customer abuse, and corporate inanity, kelly gained a deeper<br />
understanding of the plight of the retail worker.<br />
Her inter<strong>view</strong>s with other retail veterans gave her even more insight into the<br />
hidden dysfunction of the nation’s third largest industry, which treats its best<br />
brand ambassadors like disposable drones.<br />

in his distinguished career as a stock analyst, investment banker, venture<br />
capitalist, and hedge fund manager, kessler learned the no-b.s. truth about<br />
start-ups. He’s heard hundreds of pitches from smooth talkers whose ventures<br />
quickly crashed and burned.<br />
kessler figured out that in good times or bad, superstar entrepreneurs don’t<br />
just start profitable companies; they overturn entire industries. they identify<br />
and latch on to trends. they make the world more efficient, make life better<br />
for their customers, and make themselves insanely rich. from low-tech to hightech,<br />
the classic formula of creative destruction keeps playing out.<br />
before you try launching the next Google, how can you tell if you’re making a<br />
smart bet or chasing a delusion? He boils down everything he’s learned into<br />
twelve surprising and often controversial rules that will help readers become<br />
game-changing entrepreneurs.<br />
“Kessler’s latest offering is a return to writing about what he knows<br />
best . . . he can attack the subject matter with greater confidence and<br />
verve.” —The Wall Street Journal<br />
“Every entrepreneur should read this book.”<br />
—Rich Karlgaard, publisher, Forbes<br />

clifford nass with corina yen<br />
the man Who lied<br />
to His laptop<br />
What We can learn about ourselves from our machines<br />
clifford nass is one of the world’s leading experts on how people interact with<br />
technology. after two decades studying problems like bmW’s GPs system,<br />
microsoft’s clippy (the most hated animated character of all time), and <strong>online</strong><br />
evaluations that led people to lie to their laptops, he has developed a powerful<br />
theory: our brains can’t fundamentally distinguish between interacting with<br />
people and interacting with devices. We will try to protect a computer’s<br />
feelings, feel flattered by a brown-nosing piece of software, and even do favors<br />
for technology that has been “nice” to us. all without even realizing it.<br />
based on his research at stanford, nass explores the essential rules for effective<br />
human relationships. He has found that the most powerful strategies for<br />
working with people aren’t really that complicated, and can be learned from<br />
watching what succeeds and fails in technology interfaces. in other words, if a<br />
computer can make friends, build teams, and calm powerful emotions, so can<br />
any of us.<br />
“With the help of real experiments, rather than anecdotes or<br />
impressions, Clifford Nass uses people’s interactions with computers<br />
as a window into social and professional life. The book is filled with<br />
insights about an increasingly important part of our lives.”<br />

solving biotech’s biggest Problems<br />
in kitchens and Garages<br />
bill Gates recently told Wired that if he were a teenager today, he would be<br />
hacking biology. “if you want to change the world in some big way,” he says,<br />
“that’s where you should start—biological molecules.”<br />
champions of synthetic biology believe that turning genetic code into leGo-<br />
like blocks to build never-before-seen organisms could solve the thorniest<br />
challenges in medicine, energy, and environmental protection. but as an earlier<br />
generation of computer hackers proved, the most revolutionary discoveries<br />
often emerge from out-of-the-way places, forged by brilliant outsiders with<br />
few resources besides boundless energy and great ideas.<br />
marcus Wohlsen chronicles a growing community of Diy scientists working<br />
outside the walls of corporations and universities who are committed to<br />
democratizing Dna the way the internet did information. the “biohacking”<br />
movement, now in its early, heady days, aims to unleash genetically modified<br />
innovation by making the tools of biotechnology accessible to everyone.<br />
Wohlsen also explores the risks of Diy bioterrorism and the possibility of<br />
genetic engineering experiments gone awry.<br />

’60s underground movement, featuring articles by Germaine Greer,<br />
groundbreaking design by pop artist martin sharp, and cartoons by Robert<br />
crumb. When the magazine was tried for obscenity, John lennon and yoko<br />

Real fast Desserts<br />
over 200 Desserts and sweet snacks in 30 minutes<br />
this book is a mouth-watering collection of easily executed desserts suitable<br />
both for entertaining and for everyday eating. consider blackberries steeped<br />
in a glass of deep red barolo or a dish of steamy rice scented with rosewater,<br />
cardamom, and pistachios. or think of a thin apple crisp straight from the oven,<br />
or warm chocolate mousse cake with homemade espresso ice cream.<br />
all these are “real fast desserts” that can be prepared in less time than it takes<br />
a frozen cheesecake to thaw. slater’s signature style and wit shines through<br />
in his adaptations of traditional favorites: bread and butter pudding that uses<br />
fruity, buttery panettone and crème brûlée with nectarines are just a couple.<br />
standing alongside these classics are dozens of brilliantly creative (and easy)<br />
desserts.<br />
Praise for the work of Nigel Slater:<br />

introduction by betty ballantine<br />
the mabinogion tetralogy<br />
the Prince of annwn - the children of llyr -<br />
the song of Rhiannon - the island of the mighty<br />
The Mabinogion is to Welsh mythology what the tales of Zeus, Hera, and apollo<br />
are to Greek myth. these tales constitute a powerful work of the imagination,<br />
ranking with tolkien’s lord of the Rings novels and t.H. White’s The Once and<br />
Future King. evangeline Walton’s compelling rendition of these classic, thrilling<br />
stories of magic, betrayal, lost love, and bitter retribution include the encounter<br />
between Prince Pwyll and arawn, the God of Death, which Pwyll survives by<br />
agreeing to kill the one man that Death cannot fell, and the tale of bran the<br />
blessed and his family’s epic struggle for the throne.<br />
The Mabinogion is internationally recognized as the world’s finest arc of celtic<br />
mythology; Walton’s vivid retelling introduces an ancient world of gods and<br />
monsters, heroes, kings and quests, making accessible one of the greatest<br />
fantasy sagas of all time.<br />

in this thoroughly engaging book, natalie Haynes brings her scholarship and<br />
wit to the most fascinating true stories of the ancient world. The Ancient<br />
Guide to Modern Life not only reveals the origins of our culture in areas including<br />
philosophy, politics, language, and art, it also draws illuminating connections<br />
between antiquity and our present time, to demonstrate that the Greeks and<br />
Romans were not so different from ourselves: is bart simpson the successor<br />
to aristophanes? Do the beckhams have parallel lives with The Satiricon’s<br />
trimalchio?<br />
along the way Haynes debunks myths (gladiators didn’t salute the emperor<br />
before their deaths, and the last words of Julius caesar weren’t “et tu, brute?”)<br />
from athens to Zeno’s paradox, this irresistible guide shows how the history<br />
and wisdom of the ancient world can inform and enrich our lives today.<br />

at its best . . . This is one of the more<br />

complex and meticulously detailed world,<br />
his colorful and credible characters, and<br />
his deviously intriguing, action-packed<br />
plotting.” —Globe and Mail<br />

There is no name for this war; men cannot reference what transcends the short interval of<br />
their comprehension. It began when they were little more than savages roaming the wilds,<br />
in an age before script or bronze. An Ark, vast and golden, toppled from the void, scorching<br />
the horizon, throwing up a ring of mountains with the violence of its descent. And from it<br />
crawled the dread and monstrous Inchoroi, a race who had come to seal the World against<br />
the Heavens and so save the obscenities they called their souls.<br />

introduction by susan cooke kittredge<br />
Reporting america<br />
the life of the nation: 1946-2004<br />
for nearly sixty years, alistair cooke reported on american life for the bbc.<br />
Reporting America is a fascinating account of history in the making. His beloved<br />
radio show, Letter from America, saw eleven presidents, four wars, and an<br />
incredible shift in culture. He adored the u.s. as only a naturalized citizen could,<br />
and his reports were incisive and often moving. cooke traveled extensively all<br />
over the united states to convey the <strong>view</strong>s of citizens in all the nuances of<br />
regional opinion as well as those of the presidents and policy makers to whom<br />
he had easy access.<br />
susan cooke kittredge’s introduction offers rare insight into the life of her<br />
father, the man many knew as the voice of Letter from America and the host of<br />
cbs’s Omnibus and Pbs’s Masterpiece Theatre. Here are the triumphs, disasters<br />
and vicissitudes of american life—from korea, mccarthyism, the civil Rights<br />
movement, Jfk, the moon landings, Watergate, nixon’s resignation, clinton’s<br />
scandals, the attacks of 9/11, right up to the war with iraq—as told by one of<br />
the century’s most admired reporters.<br />
“A peerless observer of the American scene for almost 70 years . . . His<br />
observations were not only insightful but also gracefully written and<br />
often gently witty.” —The New York Times<br />

the boxer’s Heart<br />
one Woman’s love of the fight<br />
Published to coincide with the first olympic event for women’s boxing,<br />
The Boxer’s Heart is a brilliantly candid memoir of the world of women’s<br />
boxing, now updated and with a new afterword. Written in raw and vivid<br />
style, it tells the story of how a young every-woman moves to new york city<br />
to write and, through struggles and disappointments in her personal life, rises<br />
through the ranks at the famed Gleason’s gym to box professionally.<br />
sekules’s account unfolds with the pace and depth of a great novel, crammed<br />
with larger-than-life characters and piercing observations. any woman who has<br />
grappled with anger and trust in her relationships, been nagged by insecurity at<br />
the gym, or wondered what it feels like to throw a punch will identify with this<br />
witty and honest account of the “sweet science of bruising.”<br />
“It’s a knockout, folks . . . The Boxer’s Heart is a winner, on all cards.”<br />
—Newsweek<br />
“Sekules . . . is appealingly self-aware . . . [and] gives us a sense of<br />
women’s boxing as a thriving movement.”<br />

Jim nisbet<br />
old and cold<br />
a novel<br />
What’s a guy to do, when he lives under a bridge and has an unshakeable<br />
thirst for martinis? kill for cash. so goes the logic at the heart of Old and Cold,<br />
leading to a spree of hits that are sometimes perfectly executed, sometimes<br />
messy, set against the backdrop of san francisco’s beaches, bars, and murky<br />
darkened streets.<br />
told at breakneck speed in a bravura voice, this novel is Jim nisbet’s finest<br />
work yet, reminiscent of Jim thompson at his best and tarantino at his most<br />
irreverent. a tough and tender love letter to a city’s underbelly, this is a<br />
shockingly funny tale of suspense that won’t let you go.<br />
Praise for the work of Jim Nisbet:<br />

Noir should read this brilliant book.” —James Ellroy<br />
“Nobody has Nisbet’s distinctive style, humor, and sheer craft … one of<br />

Julie Drew<br />
Daughter of Providence<br />
a novel<br />
Julie Drew’s extraordinary novel is a breakthrough work in the tradition of<br />
Richard Russo and annie Proulx. summer, 1934: anne Dodge, raised by her<br />
old-money father in a small Rhode island coastal town, has always been told<br />
that her mother abandoned them. but then anne learns that she has a halfsister,<br />
maria cristina—and when maria cristina comes to live with anne and<br />
her father, ugly truths begin to surface about the family.<br />
Within a context of jazz, the end of Prohibition, and stifling gender expectations,<br />
Daughter of Providence is a gripping and seductive summer read. this story of<br />
loss and rediscovery will resonate with readers long after the final page.<br />
“An engrossing story of discovery, tragedy, and redemption …<br />
This is a book that stays with you.”<br />

tale will surely sweep the reader into the past.” —Library Journal<br />

price tag is paid with those hearts.”<br />

The award-winning CIA thriller by “a uniquely<br />
gifted, passionate, and powerful writer”<br />
(Alan Furst)<br />
R. J. Ellory’s latest paperback is his most timely, menacing<br />
serial killer novel yet. As in his globally acclaimed A<br />
Quiet Belief in Angels, it is a stunning work of suspense<br />
guaranteed to keep the reader awake at night. Set in<br />
Washington, embroiled in elections, it follows Detective<br />
Robert Miller as he is assigned to an unsettling murder<br />
case. He finds a serious complication: the victims do not<br />
officially exist. Their personal details do not register on<br />
any known systems. And as Miller unearths ever more<br />
disturbing facts, he starts to face truths about the corrupt<br />
world he lives in—truths so far removed from his own<br />
reality that he begins to fear for his life.<br />
As CrimeSquad described it, “this is a book with everything<br />
that a fan of modern mystery fiction could hope for: a<br />
labyrinthine plot, unbearable tension, controvery, and a<br />
social conscience.”<br />
Praise for the work of R.J. Ellory<br />
“A beautifully written novel that is also a<br />
great mystery.” —James Patterson<br />
“The master of the genre.” —Clive Cussler<br />
“A police procedural thus shifts into a<br />

Powerful scenes and vivid images.”<br />
—Wall Street Journal<br />
“A masterful exercise in suspense . . . This<br />
one will keep you uplate reading, and then<br />
you won’t be able to sleep.”<br />
—John Lutz, New York Times bestselling<br />
author of Mister X<br />
“A rich, powerful, evocative novel of great<br />
psychological depth.”<br />
—Jonathan Kellerman<br />
It is then that Catherine hears something. She thinks to turn, but doesn’t dare. A sudden rush<br />
of something in the base of her gut. Wants to turn now. Wants so desperately to turn around<br />
and look him square in the face, but knows that if she does this she will break down, she<br />
will scream and cry and plead for this to happen some other way, and it’s too late now, too<br />
late to go back . . . too late after everything that’s happened, everything that they’ve done,<br />
everything they’ve learned and what it all meant . . .<br />

The irresistible newest novel by the bestselling<br />
Max Frei, set in a magical city where losers<br />
make good<br />
The Labyrinths of Echo series—the adventures of Max,<br />
who was once a loser but discovers a new world—has<br />
been an international literary sensation since its debut. In<br />
this second installment, Sir Max is still a hardened smoker,<br />
an uncomplicated glutton, and a loafer, but once again he<br />
gets lucky. He travels to the parallel world of Echo, where<br />
magic is commonplace and where he fits right in.<br />
Plunging back into the astounding and absurd realm first<br />
portrayed in The Stranger (Fandomania.com’s #1 Book<br />
of 2009), this is a sequel of addictive power, blending<br />
fantasy, horror, philosophy, and comedy. Readers will<br />
welcome this “utterly original” (Bookslut) volume of the<br />
new adventures and misadventures of Sir Max in this<br />
enchanting world.<br />

frank Westerman<br />
engineers of the soul<br />
the Grandiose Propaganda of stalin’s Russia<br />
frank Westerman draws the reader into the wild euphoria of the Russian<br />
Revolution, as art and reality are bent to radically new purposes. Writers of<br />
renown, described by stalin as “engineers of the soul,” were encouraged to<br />
sing the praises of canal and dam construction under titles such as Energy: The<br />
Hydraulic Power Station and Onward, Time! but their enthusiasm—spontaneous<br />
and idealistic at first—soon became an obligatory song of praise. and as these<br />
colossal waterworks led to slavery and destruction, soviet writers, such as<br />
maxim Gorky, isaak babel, konstantin Paustovsky, and boris Pasternak, were<br />
forced to labor on in the service of a deluded totalitarian society.<br />
combining investigative journalism with literary history, Engineers of the Soul is<br />
a journey through contemporary Russia and soviet-era literature. Westerman<br />
examines both the culture landscape under stalin’s rule and the book—and<br />
lives of writers caught in the wheels of the soviet system.<br />
“Engagingly written and extensively researched, the book covers<br />
compelling historical and literary ground.” —Financial Times<br />
“Fascinating . . . In addition to tracing the Soviet style and telling<br />
the stories of individual writers, Westerman also follows routes these<br />
authors traveled.” —Cleveland Plain Dealer<br />

code-breakers, scientists, and the mavericks<br />
churchill led to Victory<br />
indefatigable patriot, seasoned soldier, incomparable orator, and, with franklin<br />
Delano Roosevelt, leader of men—Winston churchill’s greatness in the allies’<br />
triumphant victory in World War ii is undisputed. yet of his many unique<br />
qualities, churchill’s enduring legacy is attributable at least in equal part to his<br />
unshakeable fascination for the science of war.<br />
Churchill’s War Lab reveals how churchill’s passion for military history, his<br />
inimitable leadership style, and his dedicated support of radical ideas would<br />
lead to new technologies and tactics that would enable an allied victory. no<br />
war generated more incredible theories, technical advances, and scientific<br />
leaps. from the development of radar and the decoding brilliance of bletchley<br />
Park to the study of the D-Day beaches and the use of bouncing bombs,<br />
Churchill’s War Lab is an exciting new take on churchill as a complex, powerful,<br />
and inventive war leader.<br />

from callow correspondent to battle-hardened leader of men.”<br />
