Thomas Jefferson’s Enlightenment

This narrated (rather than illustrated) version
of Thomas Jefferson’s enlightenment as the Minister
of France reconstructs the French concept of
Progress, how Jefferson became its agent, and
what this means to American history. It describes
the intellectual environment Jefferson entered
in the fall of 1784 then introduces readers to
Jefferson’s instructors, the society in which they
communed, and the circumstances in which they
shared their ideas with him. In France, Jefferson
entered a world unlike anything he knew in Amer-
ica—one filled with disengaged men who reflected
and theorized. Their leader was the brilliant Marquis
de Condorcet. As a member of this elite circle,
Jefferson embraced the marquis’ implausible thesis
that all of the problems of French society would be
solved by replacing France’s monarchy with a con-
stitutional government resting on a Bill of Rights. But
Jefferson’s aristocratic cohorts knew comparatively
little about public rights and even less about consti-
tutional government. Quite naturally, they assumed
that the author of the Declaration of Independ-

The first book in Russia’s acclaimed Silk Road Trilogy,
available in English for the first time, is full of mystery,
memorable characters, and nonstop adventure.
In the heart of the world, where empires collide,
Nanidat Maniakh, a dashing trader, is enjoying the
good life as head of a powerful silk dynasty. Yet
Fate has other plans: Nanidat’s world is suddenly
torn asunder by murder and revolution, and the
fate of his homeland hangs in the balance.
Overnight, this able merchant must become a
cunning warrior and spy, while eluding assassins,
negotiating with kings, and pursuing a long-lost
love. This thrilling and rich historical thriller, set in
749 CE—in the part of the world we now know as
Iran, Iraq, and Central Asia—vividly re-creates a
lost world, yet its passions and conflicts are entirely
relevant to the present day.

Written in a quirky and delightful style, this

charming book serves as an introduction to the
ancient practice of animal totems, or “Beasties,”
in which readers are invited to explore why certain
animals show up in their lives and what messages
these animals may be trying to share in their teach-
ings. It provides the tools to allow readers to begin
examining the intuitive world of animal messages
and how appearances by Beasties can offer impor-

the author was living a nature-starved, hectic
lifestyle when an unlikely walrus entered her life,
changing everything. Through paying attention to
the ancient practice of animal spirits and the traits
associated with the walrus, she found the strength

tice as a physician and spent six months in nature,

ties, her struggle to accept the intuitive gifts she
was given, and her desire to lead a “normal” life

her to use her psychic gifts to help solve murder
cases, her normal life is turned upside-down, begin-
ning an unorthodox career in which she is forced to

A China-born daughter of American Episcopal mis-
sionaries tells a story of China that is little known to
both Chinese and Americans in this robust memoir.
What were Americans doing in China in the 1920s
and 30s, and how did an American child come to
be born and raised there? Helen Roberts Thomas
and her family were part of a vibrant international
community in the Yangtze Valley in the first part of
the 20th century. The community was made up of
educators, missionaries, and doctors as well as
technical and military advisors to the new Chinese
government. Freshly topical amid the current Amer-
ican fascination with another new China, this
coming-of-age story mingles history with culture,
politics, and crossing paths with the famous. And
yet it is also a family story: dedicated to the mem-
ory of her parents; dotted with sibling love, rivalry,
rebellion, and achievement; and written in
collaboration with her own daughter.

A hardened man trades one prison for another in
this paramilitary thriller. Frank is a survivor. After
being shot down in Vietnam, he spends two years
in the Hanoi Hilton. When he is liberated, he learns
that the woman to whom he was engaged has
married another. Depressed and despondent, he
takes a cruise to clear his mind. There he meets
Antoinette, a recruiter for an organization called
the Company. Interested in his aviation back-
ground, she signs him on and sends him to Panama
where the Company is located for basic training.
Now submerged in a mercenary lifestyle, Frank flies
many missions for the Company over the next 30
years. The action moves back and forth from
Frank’s adventures with the Company to the strug-
gles of his personal life, as Antoinette gives him a
son and a librarian becomes his mistress. But when
he decides to retire from his dirty work, he learns
that the Company is not too keen on letting its
mercenaries go.

transports them to Romanov Russia and leads them
to believe they have been there together before.
But Nikolai, the mysterious young man Jenny has
been seeing in her dreams who has now appeared
next door, was there, too. Jenny is forced to
acknowledge that Nikolai has traveled through
time and space to find her. Doing so means he has
defied the laws of time, and the Order, an ominous

While Ben, Jenny, and Nikolai race against the

is given two choices: join the program or face the
consequences. Dez learns all about it when she
crashes headlong into fate on the side of a rural
highway, her life ending in a violent collision of steel
and screaming brakes. The train that delivers her
newly departed soul to the crossroads of the after-
life won’t be carrying her to the sweet hereafter
until she accepts her abrupt end and learns to let
go of the life she’ll never finish. Her new reality is
conduct manuals, propaganda, and unrelenting
staff, all part of a system to ease her transition from
life to death, while helping her earn her way out of
limbo. Yet the beautiful and enticing Atman City is
an ever-present temptation that is strictly off limits
to underage souls. The promise of adventure
proves too strong, and beneath the city’s sheen
of ethereal majesty, Dez discovers a world teeming
with danger, where being dead isn’t the same as
being safe, and the only thing harder than getting
out of limbo is getting through it.

Bestselling author Nicola Marsh brings her award-

winning style and experience to the young adult
universe with a witty, spirited, and action-packed
teen fantasy, the first in the Solar Snatchers series.
In the blink of an eye, 16-year-old Holly Burton’s
unremarkable life is shaken to the core. A vision of
the mother Holly never knew leaves her questioning
everything she once believed about her past and
possible future. But when Holly’s fresh start at a
boarding school for highly gifted students in
Wolfebane, New Hampshire, turns out to be any-
thing but, she realizes just how bad things can get.
Holly’s transported into a parallel existence and
confronted with a dark and ancient evil. With the
help of Joss, a sexy alpha warrior sworn to protect
her, and her new BFF, the equally swoon-worthy
Quinn, Holly faces her fears and takes on a most
unlikely adversary in a showdown that is worse
than anything she could’ve possibly imagined.
Scion of the Sun “Charmed and drawn in by Holly’s spunk and

snark, Scion of the Sun will leave you spinning and
Nicola Marsh falling for Joss right along with Holly. Marsh’s unique
YA debut is packed with action, mystery, romance

Jed is not your typical middle school geek. He is, to
use the politically correct term, “cardiovascularly
challenged.” And though his parents attempted to
shield him from the implications of being different
for as long as they could, when Jed was eight and
at a friend’s sister’s birthday party, he blew his lips
off onto the cake in front of everyone, finally
prompting the Big Talk—and an emergency Super-
Glue repair by his dad. Now as a target of Robbie,
the supreme school bully, and his pack of moronic
toadies, seventh grade at Pine Hollow Junior High is
rapidly becoming unbearable. From being stuffed
in a trash can as “dead meat” and into a trophy
case as the bully’s “prize,” to literally having his
hand pulled off in the boys’ room and a cigarette
put in it to try to frame him for the recent reports
of smoking in the school, Jed’s had enough and
is ready to plan his revenge. (Jed’s always losing
body parts, but luckily, with a good stapler and
some duct tape, he’s back in action.) But Jed finds
that it’s awesome what you can do when you’re
already dead! He goes from underground under-
dog to over-the-top hero and proves you don’t
have to be living to have a lot of heart. For every
kid who’s ever felt different, been picked on, or
kicked out, this is a heartwarming and funny story
about surviving middle school, making friends,
Dead Jed and keeping your limbs.
