Grunge
An Oral History
Mark Yarm
Twenty years after the release of Nirvana's landmark Nevermind album,
Grunge: An Oral History will be the definitive word about a musical era,
straight from the mouths of those who created the sound and the sensation.
Grunge, also known as the "Seattle sound," is the sludgy fusion of punk rock
and heavy metal that emerged from the Pacific Northwest in the early part of the
1980s. But it was the unexpected, seemingly overnight success of Nirvana's
single "Smells Like Teen Spirit," in the fall of 1991, that made grunge a household
word and launched an American music movement on par with punk and hip-hop.
Twenty years later, Grunge: An Oral History captures that era in the words of
those at the forefront of the movement (and the music's lesser-known champions).
Grunge will tell the whole story: the founding of originators like Soundgarden and
the Melvins, the early successes of Seattle's Sub Pop record label, the rise of
© Henry Diltz/Corbis
powerhouses Nirvana and Pearl Jam, the insane media hype surrounding the
grunge explosion, the suicide of Kurt Cobain, and finally, the genre's
mid-to-late-'90s decline. Having conducted some 250 interviews for the book,
music journalist Mark Yarm has created the Please Kill Me for a whole new
generation of music fans.

John Huston: Courage and Art
Jeffrey Meyers
From the acclaimed biographer of Ernest Hemingway, Humphrey Bogart,
and many others, comes the first complete biography of the life and work of
John Huston, the legendary director, writer, actor, and bon vivant who made
iconic films such as The Maltese Falcon, The Treasure of the Sierra Madre,
The Asphalt Jungle, and The African Queen, and lived one of the most
vibrant, eventful lives in Hollywood history.
An actor in the 1920s and scriptwriter in the 1930s, John Huston made his
dazzling directorial debut in 1941 with The Maltese Falcon. His career as a
filmmaker spanned some 57 years, more than half of the first century of cinema,
and yielded 37 feature films. Today Huston stands alongside Hitchcock, Welles,
Kubrick, Bergman, and Scorsese as one of the most influential filmmakers in
history. But Huston was also a painter, boxer, bullfighter, poet, hunter, soldier,
gambler, gourmand, and adventurer who had five wives, was a distant father, and
spent much of his life in Mexico and Ireland. With equal attention given to
Huston's enormous artistic output and his erratic personal relationships, Meyers
presents a vivid and dramatic narrative of Huston's remarkably rich life.

Unlikely Success
Why Some People Flourish Where Most Others Fail
Rom Brafman
In Unlikely Success, bestselling coauthor Rom Brafman (Sway: The
Irresistible Pull of Irrational Behavior), explores why it is that some people,
against all odds, achieve extraordinary success, while so many othersfall
victim to their circumstances. Brafman, a practicing psychologist, draws
from a diverse body of research to reveal the unique factors that allow some
people to achieve success even when the cards are stacked against them.
In a book that takes readers from the experiences of children raised in poverty,
to prisoners of war, to business executives struggling with a failing business,
Unlikely Success examines the psychological forces that enable individuals to
overcome seemingly insurmountable adversity--and offers insight into how we can
embrace those same successful principles in our own lives and careers. Among
the insights that can influence our ability to get ahead and achieve our dreams:
The presence of a "satellite" or mentor in our lives that can provide us with a consistent
level of emotional and practical support
Having an internal "locus" of control--the feeling that we have control over our lives,
rather than seeing our success or failure as the result of forces beyond our control
Being persistent--people who fight to overcome the odds do not give up at the first, or
second, sign of resistance or defeat; they persevere in looking for ways to achieve their

Valerie Young

For the scores of professional women suffering from the debilitating
"Impostor Syndrome," Valerie Young offers an empowering plan to better
understand and overcome self-doubt and gain the confidence they deserve.
In her decades of research on women's feelings and beliefs about themselves
and their success, Valerie Young has found that there are millions of
high-achieving, competent women who feel as though they are "faking
it"--impostors in their own lives and careers. As opposed to men, who are
predominantly more self-assured, women chalk up their accomplishments to luck
rather than skill; they agonize over tiny mistakes; and they see even constructive
criticism as evidence of their shortcomings. When they succeed, they think "Phew,
I fooled 'em this time." Living in this perpetual state of self-doubt doesn't just drain
a woman's energy and confidence. It makes her more risk-averse and less
assertive than her male peers, which can hurt her professional development.

Reflections on Nature
John O'Donohue
From the beloved author of the bestselling Anam Cara and To Bless the
Space Between Us comes a new work from John O'Donohue in which he
shares his insights on nature and the ancient wisdom of this earth.
John O'Donohue won hundreds of thousands of admirers throughout North
America with his now classic work on Celtic spirituality, Anam Cara. Just as To
Bless the Space Between Us was being published, he died suddenly at the age
52. The loss of his powerfully wise and lyrical voice has been profoundly missed,
but his many readers are given a special opportunity to revisit John in a new book
based on a series of papers he wrote on the elements of Water, Stone, Air, and
Fire, now being published here for the first time. O'Donohue's readers know him
as both a spiritual guide and a poet. Given the success of his collection of original
poetic blessings in To Bless the Space, they are certain to receive this work
warmly.

Nina Burleigh
With the inside detail of a notorious crime and of the dysfunctional Italian

Three years after her husband Max's death, Shelley feels no more adjusted to

Standing on her front step is a young man who looks so much like Max--same
smile, same eyes, same age, same adorable bump in his nose--he could be Max's
long-lost relation. He introduces himself (Paolo, Italian editor of American coffee

man in the photos, the bearded man who Paolo says is his grandfather though he
never seems to age, is Max. Her Max. And he is alive and well.

if he is, why hasn't he looked her up?--Shelley desperately wants to know the
truth. As she and Paolo jet across the globe to track Max down--if it is really
Max--Shelley recounts the European package tour where they met. As she relives

A masterful account of how 60 years of American militarism created the
Cold War, fanned decades of unnecessary conflict, helped to fuel Islamist
terror, and threatens to bankrupt the country.
As of 2010, the Pentagon acknowledged the concentration of 190,000 troops
and 115,000 civilian employees inside 909 military facilities in 46 countries and
territories. The price of America's military base network overseas, along with the
expense of its national security state at home, is enormous. The bill comes in at
well over $1 trillion. That is equal to nearly 8 percent of GDP and more than 20
percent of the federal budget. (By comparison, China, Russia, Cuba, Iran, and
North Korea, the five countries Pentagon planners routinely trot out as
conventional threats to the national well-being, have a cumulative security budget
of just over $200 billion.) Quietly, gradually--and inevitably, given the weight of its
colossal budget and imperial writ--the Pentagon has all but eclipsed the State
Department at the center of U.S. foreign policy.
In the tradition of The Wise Men, The Best and the Brightest, Legacy of Ashes,
and The Dead Hand, State vs. Defense explores how and why American leaders
succumbed to the sirens of militarism, how the republic has been lost to an
ON SALE 8/2/2011 empire, and how "the military-industrial complex" that Eisenhower so famously

Skyjack
The Hunt for D. B. Cooper
Geoffrey Gray
With exclusive access to confidential FBI files and new leads, Geoffrey Gray
reopens one of the great unsolved criminal cases of the twentieth century:
the puzzling story of "D. B. Cooper," the only skyjacker never to be caught
by authorities.
Called the Robin Hood of the Sky, Cooper hijacked and threatened to blow up
a domestic airliner in the fall of 1971, extorted $200,000 and parachutes from its
owner, Northwest Orient, then leaped from the airborne jet with more than twenty
pounds of cash strapped to his body. He was never seen again--dead or alive.
Four decades later, Cooper is the Bigfoot of law enforcement, evading one of the
most extensive and costly American manhunts of the twentieth century. Over the
years he (or was it she?) has developed an obsessive cult following. Countless
lives have been destroyed in pursuit of the hijacker's identity, and those who get
too close to the case claim it is cursed.
Now on the fortieth anniversary of Cooper's daring jump, Skyjack separates
myth from fact, and this definitive work and journey attempts to answer the
question, once and for all: Who was D. B. Cooper?

Ernest Cline
A jaw-droppingly cinematic, genre-busting debut that's part virtual space
opera, part classic coming-of-age story--and part brilliant pop-culture
mashup.
It's the year 2044, and the real world has become an ugly place. We're out of
oil. We've wrecked the climate. Famine, poverty, and disease are widespread.
Like most of humanity, Wade Watts escapes this depressing reality by
spending his waking hours jacked into the OASIS, a sprawling virtual utopia where
you can be anything you want to be, where you can live and play and fall in love
on any of ten thousand planets. And like most of humanity, Wade is obsessed by
the ultimate lottery ticket that lies concealed within this alternate reality: OASIS
founder James Halliday has promised that control of the OASIS--and his massive
fortune--will go to the person who can solve the riddles he has left scattered
throughout his creation. For years, millions have struggled fruitlessly to attain this
prize, and Halliday's obsessions have become the world's obsessions.
And then Wade unlocks Halliday's first puzzle.
Suddenly the world is watching, and Wade finds himself embroiled in a
desperate race to claim the ultimate prize, pitted against powerful opponents who
ON SALE 8/16/2011 are willing to commit very real murder to gain control of the OASIS.

Push Has Come to Shove
Getting Our Kids the Education They Deserve - Even if It
Means Picking a Fight
Steve Perry, Founding Principal of Capital Prep and
CNN Education Correspondent
In a book that has the potential to power a nation-wide movement, superstar
educator Steve Perry -- known for his colorful bluntness and "whatever it
takes" refusal to compromise kids' futures -- critiques American education
and offers a hands-on way to take direct action, using the fabulously
successful high school he founded as an example of how to get school right.
Six years ago when Perry created Capital Prep Magnet school in Hartford, CT,
high schools in the district were graduating only 29% of their students. Today,
Perry's school sends 100% of its graduates to four-year colleges, and Cap Prep
has been besieged by educators and journalists trying to figure out how he does it.
Part of it is his refusal to yield an inch. Perry simply will not accept excuses, be
they from students, teachers, parents or the city itself. His students attend school
year round -- even on weekends. And while Perry respects good teachers, he has
no use for bad ones - or, for that matter, the unions that coddle them. Perry is
careful to stress that America is not just dealing with an "urban" or "minority"
problem. The system is sabotaging the futures of millions of suburban and white

Joe McGinniss
Just in time for the kickoff of the 2012 presidential campaign, the author of
the classic account of the packaging of a presidential candidate, The Selling
of the President, of the acclaimed search for the essence of Alaska, Going to
Extremes, and of the bestselling study of the dark patriarch and secrets of
an American family, Fatal Vision, presents his already controversial
investigative chronicle of Sarah Palin as an individual, politician, and
cultural phenomenon.
Bestselling author Joe McGinniss is a renowned investigator of politicians and
political image-making, with deep knowledge of Alaska gained from residence and
reporting there and a talent for writing riveting narratives about noteworthy topics.
His forty-plus-year career as an investigative journalist and author has been ideal
preparation for a book on Sarah Palin, the embodiment of contemporary political
packaging and self-professed exemplar of the Alaskan character and American
"family values." Based on McGinniss's on-the-ground reporting that began in early
2009 (yielding an April 2009 Conde Nast Portfolio cover story) and continuing with
his return to Alaska in 2010 (resulting in a media firestorm when he rented a

Death in the City of Light
David King
For readers of colorful, character-rich narrative nonfiction, the gripping
account of the hunt for a serial killer in Paris during the Nazi occupation.
Death in the City of Light is the true story of the hunt for Marcel Petiot, a
respectable physician by day, who turned out to be a brutal serial killer by night in
Nazi-occupied Paris. Petiot was charged with 27 grisly murders, though his
victims--many of whom were dismembered--may have numbered in excess of
100. The thrilling investigation was led by Commissaire Georges-Victor Massu of
the Homicide Squad, who became entangled with a cast of captivating characters
through the shadowy world of Gestapo, gangsters, nightclub owners, Resistance
fighters, pimps, prostitutes, spies, and various nefarious figures of the Parisian
underground.
This is a story of adventure, glamour, intrigue, and decadence on the eve of
disaster. It is also an empowering tale of men and women braving great dangers
to reveal the horrors of the Nazi regime--and uncovering a story that, at the time,
most Americans refused to hear.

Annapurna--the World's Most Deadly Peak
Ed Viesturs with David Roberts
The bestselling author of No Shortcuts to the Top and K2 and the first
American to ascend all fourteen of the world's 8,000-meter peaks, chronicles
his three attempts to climb the world's tenth-highest, and statistically most
deadly, Annapurna in the Himalyas, and explores the dramatic and tragic
history of others who have made -- or attempted -- the ascent, and what
these teach us about facing life's greatest challenges.
As a high school student in the flatlands of Rockford, Illinois, where the highest
objects on the horizon were water towers, Ed Viesturs read and was captivated by
the French climber Maurice Herzog's famous and grisly account of the first ascent
of Annapurna in 1950. When he began his own campaign to climb the world's 14

undertaking Annapurna himself. Two failures to summit in 2000 and 2002 made
Annapurna his nemesis. His successful 2005 summit was the triumphant
capstone of his climbing quest. In this book Viesturs brings the extraordinary
challenges of Annapurna to vivid life through edge-of-your-seat accounts of the
greatest climbs in history, and of his own failed attemps and eventual success. In

The first tightly focused account of the most creative, intoxicating, and
culturally rich era in Key West's history.
For Hemingway and Fitzgerald, there was Paris in the twenties. For others,
later, there was Greenwich Village, Big Sur, Woodstock. But for an even later
generation--defined by the likes of Jimmy Buffett, Tom McGuane, and Hunter S.
Thompson--there was another moveable feast: Key West, Florida.
The small town on the two-mile-by-four-mile island has long been an artistic
haven, a wild refuge for people of all persuasions, and the inspirational home for a
league of great American writers. Some of the artists went to be literary he-men.
Some went to re-create themselves. Others just went to disappear--and
succeeded. No matter what inspired the exodus there, Key West in the seventies
was the right place at the right time where and when an astonishing collection of
artists wove a web of creative inspiration.
Readers spanning all ages will delight in the stories of how this immensely
talented generation interacted, invented, and reinvented themselves at the
unending cocktail party at the end--and the beginning--of the road.

In a dusty corner of a basement in a rambling Victorian house in northern New
Hampshire, a door has long been sealed shut with 39 six-inch-long carriage bolts.
The home's new owners are Chip and Emily Linton and their twin ten-year-old
daughters. Together they hope to rebuild their lives there after Chip, an airline
pilot, has to ditch his 70-seat regional jet in Lake Champlain due to double engine
failure. Unlike the Miracle on the Hudson, however, most of the people aboard
Flight 1611 die on impact or drown. The body count? Thirty-nine - a coincidence
not lost on Chip when he discovers the number of bolts in that basement door...or
when he finds himself haunted by the passengers who died in the water.
Meanwhile, Emily is wondering about the women in this sparsely populated White
Mountain village, self-proclaimed herbalists, and why they are so interested in her
fifth-grade daughters. Are they mad? Or is it her husband, in the wake of the
tragedy, whose grip on sanity has become desperately tenuous?

In the tradition of Candice Millard's bestselling The River of Doubt, an
adventure narrative of survival, exploration, and discovery, by acclaimed
National Geographic writer Scott Wallace.
The People of the Arrow tells the extraordinary tale of a journey into the
deepest recesses of the Amazon to track one of the planet's last uncontacted
native tribes. In this gripping first-person account of adventure and survival,
National Geographic photojournalist Scott Wallace follows a 34-man team into the
Amazon's uncharted depths, discovering the rain forest's secrets while moving
ever closer to a possible encounter with the mysterious flecheiros--or "People of
the Arrow"--a seldom-glimpsed tribe of deft archers known to defend their lands
with showers of deadly arrows before melting back into the forest shadows.
Rich in biological and anthropological detail and boasting a Conradian cast of
characters--all driven by a passion to preserve the wild, but also racked by fear,
suspicion, and the desperate need to survive--The People of the Arrow brings
alive the final battleground that the Amazon has become, while illuminating the
complex issues surrounding indigenous tribes and their relevance to us all.

American Desperado
My Life--From Mafia Soldier to Cocaine Cowboy to
Secret Government Asset
Jon Roberts and Evan Wright, New York Times
bestselling author of Generation Kill
The remarkable memoir of an all-American Scarface, raised in a powerful
Mafia family, who spilled blood in the jungles of Vietnam, New York, and
Miami; became, with Pablo Escobar, the #1 supplier of cocaine to the U.S.;
and formed a clandestine alliance with the U.S. government before finding a
form of late-life redemption.
Born into the upper levels of the Gambino crime family and witnessing his first
murder at age 7, Roberts was a one-man juvenile crime wave before joining an
assassination squad in Vietnam. He returned to New York at age 20 to become
one of the city's top nightclub promoters, then journeyed to Miami where he
became the de facto transportation chief of the Medellin Cartel, and with a
"MacGyver"-like tech-wizard partner, created some of the most sophisticated
smuggling technologies ever. With a hulking 6'6" bodyguard always at his side,
and a rural fortress protected by mortars, tear-gas cannons, and a gold-fanged
attack dog, Roberts was brutally effective at what he did. To law enforcement, he
was known as the "Bearded Gringo," a specter they could never touch. To United

The Baker's Daughter
A Novel
Sarah McCoy
In the tradition of Sarah's Key and Those Who Save Us, Sarah McCoy
returns with a timely novel about the politics of exclusion, the terrible
choices we face in wartime, and the redemptive power of love.
If you look out Reba Adams's back door, you can see all the way to Mexico.
Ciudad de Juarez is just over the Rio Grande river, and Reba's boyfriend, Riki, an
agent with the U.S. Border Patrol, makes sure that everyone stays on their
respective sides. Reba is a journalist for the El Paso monthly, and while Riki finds
comfort in strict rules and regulations, Reba knows that in every good story, some
lines will be blurred.
Reba's latest assignment is a feel-good Christmas piece about an elderly baker
across town. The interview should take a few hours at most, but Elsie, owner of
Elsie's German Bakery, is no easy subject. She keeps turning the tables on
Reba--if Reba and Riki are engaged, why doesn't she wear his ring?--and Reba
finds herself returning to the bakery again and again. For Elsie, Reba's questions
have brought back memories of a darker time: her life in Germany during the last
desperate year of WWII. And as Elsie, Reba, and Riki's lives become more
intertwined, all three are forced to confront the uncomfortable truths of their pasts

The World Is Bigger Now
An American Journalist's Release from Captivity in
North Korea . . . A Remarkable Story of Faith, Family,
and Forgiveness
Euna Lee with Lisa Dickey
Now in paperback, Euna Lee--the young wife, TV journalist, and
documentary filmmaker detained in North Korea--tells the harrowing but
also inspiring story of how she survived and what she learned from her five
months in captivity.
On March 17, 2009, Euna Lee and her Current TV colleague Laura Ling were
working on a story about North Koreans desperate to escape a brutal government
for a chance at freedom, when they were taken prisoner by North Korean officials.
For four long months they remained detained while friends and family in the
United States were given very little information about their status or conditions.
The World Is Bigger Now is Euna Lee's account of her experience: what led to her
arrival in North Korea, her efforts to negotiate on her own behalf with the North
Korean authorities, and how she and her fellow captive, Laura Ling, were finally
released thanks to the efforts of many individuals, including Bill Clinton. This is
also the story of faith and love and Euna's personal conviction that God will
sustain and protect us, even in our darkest hours.

The Blasphemer
A Novel
Nigel Farndale
A fiercely ambitious novel about love, loyalty, and faith, set during World
War I and contemporary London, reminiscent of Sebastian Faulks and Pat
Barker.
On its way to the Galapagos Islands, a light aircraft ditches into the sea.
Zoologist Daniel Kennedy is confronted with a stark choice: save himself or rescue
Nancy, the woman he loves? Back in London, Daniel faces another quandary,
connected to his great-grandfather's fate on the first horrific day of Passchendaele
in the Great War. But as the past collapses into the present, the fissures in his
relationship with Nancy show through until he is given a second chance to prove
his courage and earn her forgiveness.
The Blasphemer is a contemporary thriller of rare depth and talent that sweeps
from the morbid trenches of the First World War to the terrorist-besieged streets of
present-day London, a novel about one man coming to grips with his darkest
instincts, his moments of betrayal, his shocking family legacy, and--ultimately--his

A wryly comic first novel about life after the pinkslip, an odyssey of

Jeffrey Reiner is stalling. After being laid off from a mundane job he held for 18

through these economic times, he has no choice but to throw himself at any

just that--leaving behind the security and predictability of his past to face the

On Second Thought
Outsmarting Your Mind's Hard-Wired Habits
Wray Herbert
Acclaimed popular science writer Wray Herbert explores new research into
the many shortcuts our minds use to make snap decisions--and explains
how they help, how they hurt, and how we can overrule them.
Our brains have evolved a number of mental shortcuts, biases, and tricks that
allow us to quickly negotiate the endless array of decisions we confront every day.
We don't want to rationally deliberate every choice we make, and thanks to these
cognitive rules of thumb, we don't need to.
Yet these hard-wired shortcuts can also be perilous. They can distort our
thinking in ways that are often invisible to us, leading us to make poor decisions,
to be easy targets for manipulators...and they can even cost us our lives.
The trick, of course, lies in knowing when to trust that instant response, and
when to question it. On Second Thought is the first guide to achieving that
balance.

A Novel
Moni Mohsin
Think Emma Woodhouse meets Becky Bloomwood in modern-day Lahore,
and you have the makings of this funny, smart, sassy novel from Pakistani
novelist Moni Mohsin.
Just as Helen Fielding and Sophie Kinsella captured the voice of materialistic,
lovesick, social-climbing (and falling) women of London, Mohsin does the same
for the women, of a certain class, in modern Pakistan. She captures the voice with
the language that Salman Rushdie called the "chutnification" of English: a patois
of Urdu, English and other regional dialects, full of glaring spelling errors,
malapropisms, and a vibrant life all its own.
Our plucky heroine has just been tapped to help find a suitable wife for her
cousin Jonkers. Jonkers, who at thirty-seven dresses and acts more like an
awkward teenager than a self-assured, successful business owner, has been
terribly unlucky in love. He tends to fall for women who are of the wrong
"bagground." It is no easy thing to find a woman for Jonkers while also juggling
her son Kulchoo's education, shopping, managing her maids, wheedling for British
passports, and keeping up with the Joneses. Each chapter begins with that day's
headlines, which become increasingly dire as the "beardos" from the hinterlands

YORK TIMES
BESTSELLER
George W. Bush
President George W. Bush describes the critical decisions of his presidency
and personal life.
Shattering the conventions of political autobiography, George W. Bush offers a
strikingly candid journey through the defining decisions of his life. In gripping,
never-before-heard detail, President Bush brings readers inside the Texas
Governor's Mansion on the night of the hotly contested 2000 election; aboard Air
Force One on 9/11, in the hours after America's most devastating attack since
Pearl Harbor; at the head of the table in the Situation Room in the moments
before launching the war in Iraq; and behind the Oval Office desk for his
controversial decisions on the financial crisis, Hurricane Katrina, Afghanistan, Iran,
and other issues that have shaped the first decade of the 21st century.
President Bush writes honestly and directly about his flaws and mistakes, as
well as his accomplishments reforming education, treating HIV/AIDS in Africa, and
safeguarding the country amid chilling warnings of additional terrorist attacks.
Decision Points will captivate supporters, surprise critics, and change
perspectives on one of the most consequential eras in American history--and the
man at the center of events.

The Countess
A Novel of Elizabeth Bathory
Rebecca Johns
The fascinating tale of history's most famous female serial killer.
In January 1611, one of the highest-born members of the Hungarian nobility,
Countess Erzsebet Bathory, was walled inside her castle tower and imprisoned for
the rest of her life. Her crime: the brutal torture and murder of at least 35 women
and girls, mostly her servants. The Countess tells Bathory's story in her own
words: how this daughter of a noble family was betrothed at age ten but rebelled
by bearing an illegitimate child; how she resorted to spells and potions to give her
husband a child; how after the count's death she loved the man who would
imprison her; and how she eventually turned to the torture and murder of her
servants after her lover rejected her. This is an intimate, sympathetic, and
ultimately disturbing portrait of one of the most reviled women in history.

Jeff Deck and Benjamin D. Herson
"[The Great Typo Hunt], where editor meets road trip, is entertaining,
informative, and thought-provoking, and a book that any lover of language,
travel--or both--will probably enjoy."--Boston Globe
For several months, two young men journeyed out on a quest to right the
wrongs of poor punctuation. Equipped with permanent markers, correction fluids,
and other tools necessary for the eradication of errant commas and misplaced
apostrophes, they circumnavigated America, blogging as they transformed
souvinier into souvenir, it's to its.
The typos led them to unexpected conclusions and unforeseen destinations, to
everything from trying to correct neon on the Vegas strip to federal agent scrutiny.
Those misspelled words and mislaid apostrophes opened them up to a world that
begged a closer look--at questions about the makings of America, about
education, racism, history, and human connection.

No Ordinary Joes
The Extraordinary True Story of Four Submariners in
World War II
Larry Colton
Now in paperback, the harrowing true story of four young sailors from the
USS Grenadier who were captured and tortured by the Japanese during
World War II, the bond that sustained them, and their struggles to resume
their lives.
When Bob Palmer, Gordy Cox, Tim McCoy, and Chuck Vervalin joined the
navy in 1941, they were not trying to prove their patriotism--they were just looking
for a job that would provide "three hots and a cot." But on April 22, 1943, the war
took a terrible turn for them. While on patrol deep in enemy waters, their
submarine was torpedoed and sent crashing to the ocean floor. Listed as lost in
action and given up for dead, all four had in fact miraculously escaped the ship,
only to be captured by the Japanese. The four men spent the next two and a half
years as POWs, enduring barbaric torture and starvation, unable to communicate
with their wives and families. When they were freed, they were forced to find a
new kind of resilience as they struggled to resume their lives in a world that
seemed to have forgotten them.
By turns panoramic and intimate, No Ordinary Joes shows us, through the
lives of four "ordinary" men who endured extraordinary circumstances, the tragedy
ON SALE 10/4/2011 of war and its aftermath, and the restorative power of love.

Present at the Creation
The Story of CERN and the Large Hadron Collider
Amir D. Aczel
From the author of the bestselling Fermat's Last Theorem, the fascinating
story of the greatest experiment of modern times, which seeks to
understand the origins of the universe.
The Large Hadron Collider is the biggest, and by far the most powerful,
machine ever built. A project of CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear
Research, its audacious purpose is to re-create the immensely hot and dense
conditions that existed some 13.7 billion years ago within the first trillionth of a
second after the fiery birth of our universe.
In telling the story of one of the most anticipated experiments in the history of
science, Present at the Creation takes us inside the control rooms at CERN at key
moments when an international team of top researchers begins to discover
whether this multibillion-euro investment will fulfill its spectacular promise.
Through the eyes and words of the men and women who conceived and built
CERN and the LHC--and with the same clarity and depth of knowledge that he
demonstrated in Fermat's Last Theorem, Amir D. Aczel enriches his readers with
a firm grounding in the scientific concepts we will need to understand and
appreciate the most remarkable scientific collaboration since the Manhattan

Revival
The Struggle for Survival Inside the Obama White House
Richard Wolffe
The dramatic inside story of the defining period of the Obama White House,
Revival is an epic tale following the president and his inner circle from the
crisis of defeat to historic success.
Bestselling Obama biographer Richard Wolffe draws on unrivaled access to
the West Wing to write a natural sequel to Renegade, his critically acclaimed book
about the president and his campaign. Over the span of an extraordinary two
months in the life of a young presidency, Obama and his senior aides engaged in
a desperate struggle for survival that stands as the measure of who they are and
how they govern. Starting from the first anniversary of the inauguration, Wolffe
paints a portrait of a White House at work under exceptional strain across a
sweeping set of challenges: from health care reform to a struggling economy, from
two wars to terrorism.
At the center of this compelling story is a man who remains opaque to
supporters, staff, and critics alike. What motivates him to risk his presidency on
health care? What frustrations does he feel at this incredible time of testing?
Written by the author who knows Obama best, Revival is a frank and intimate
account of a president struggling to adapt, enduring failure, and outfoxing his foes.
ON SALE 11/1/2011 It is a must-read volume, full of exclusive insights into the untold and unfinished
BROADWAY story of a new force in world politics.

Band of Brothers at sea and in the skies a mere 340 miles off the coast of
Japan--an engrossing, utterly page-turning chronicle of a tightly knit crew of
young naval aviators in the epic final--and most brutal--major battle of World
War II: Okinawa.
April 1945. The end of World War II finally appears to be nearing. The Nazis
are collapsing in Europe and the Americans are vastly overpowering the
Japanese in the Pacific. For a group of pilots in their early 20s who were trained
during the twilight of the war, their biggest concern is that they'll never actually see
real action and will go home without having a chance to face the enemy. They call
themselves Tail End Charlies. They fly at the tail end of formations, stand at the
tail end of chow lines, and now they are prepared for battle at the tail end of the
war. Little do they know that they will be key players in the most difficult and
bloodiest of naval battles...

The Metropolis Case
A Novel
Matthew Gallaway
From the smoky music halls of 1860s Paris to the tumbling skyscrapers of
twenty-first century New York, the sweeping tale of an unlikely quartet,
bound together by the strange and spectacular history of Wagner's
masterpiece opera Tristan and Isolde.
Martin is a lawyer living in New York in 2001, who feels disconnected from his
life and yearns to create a more authentic future for himself. Maria is an awkward
teenager who attempts to break free from the doldrums of 1960s Pittsburgh
through her extraordinary singing voice. Anna is destined to be a grande dame of
the international stage, but she is about to realize that the life in the spotlight is
more than she bargained for. When Lucien, a young singer present at the birth of
the modern age, makes a magical discovery borne of tragedy, it takes him on a
journey that will help him, and his three improbable companions, learn that what
matters is not how many breaths you take, but what you do with those you're
given. Exquisitely constructed and emotionally rewarding, The Metropolis Case is
a debut novel that will keep readers spellbound until the final page.

The Discovery of Jeanne Baret
A Story of Science, the High Seas, and the First Woman
to Circumnavigate the Globe
Glynis Ridley
A true-life tale of intrigue on the high seas about the first woman to sail
around the world--and who did so disguised as a man.
In a deeply researched and engagingly written narrative of science, adventure,
love, and an unprecedented voyage of discovery, Glynis Ridley reveals the true
story of Jeanne Baret and her pioneering journey. In 1766, King Louis XV
authorized the first French expedition to circumnavigate the globe and named the
eminent botanist Philibert Commerson the official naturalist. Desperate not to be
left behind, Baret--Commerson's young mistress and collaborator--disguised
herself as a teenage boy and signed on as his assistant. As the ship stopped at
strange new lands, she disembarked to collect and classify plants unknown to
Western science. It wasn't long, however, before crew members on the small ship
began to suspect her secret. The captain recorded in his journal that curious
Tahitian natives exposed Baret as a woman, but the real story may not be so
poetic.

Keeping Time
A Novel
Stacey McGlynn
Keeping Time is an eloquent and moving search for long-lost love and
dignity, emphasizing our deepest need to be loved no matter what else life
offers us.
Seventy-seven-year-old Daisy Phillips is sick of being treated like an old lady.
Her son wants to sell her lovely English home and move her into assisted living,
the library graciously declines her continued services as a volunteer, and her best
friend is away for the summer. When she finds a forgotten watch that belonged to
her first fiancé, Michael Baker, a young American soldier stationed in England
during World War II, Daisy decides to go to America for one more chance at
adventure. Determined to track down the man she loved and lost touch with years
ago, Daisy settles in with her slightly wacky American cousins, roping the family
into helping her with her quest to be reunited with the man upon whom she's
pinned her hopes and dreams for a second chance at romance.
Keeping Time is a deeply moving and entertaining story about the way love
persists and entwines through our lives that will appeal to those who believe that,
ultimately, life is what you make it.

Da Bears!
How the 1985 Monsters of the Midway Became the
Greatest Team in NFL History
Steve Delsohn
An acclaimed sports journalist and native Chicagoan tackles what many call
the greatest team in NFL history. Da Bears! tells the full story of the '85
legends--with all the controversy and excitement--on the field and off.
It's been 25 years since the Chicago Bears won Super Bowl XX with what Bill
Parcells called "the best defensive team I've ever seen" and an offense
surprisingly good for a franchise where offense was often a dirty word. Now, for
the first time, an incredibly candid book takes you through all the games and
behind the scenes--into the huddles, the locker rooms, the team meetings, and of
course the bars--for an intimate account of that unforgettable season.
Here's how a team that got booed in its regular-season opener ended up
winning its first world championship in 22 years, led by the most capable, colorful,
and un-PC characters ever to strap on helmets, from Jim McMahon to William
"Refrigerator" Perry to Mike Ditka to Buddy Ryan.
From the inner workings of their innovative and attacking 46 defense to the
inside story of their cocky "Super Bowl Shuffle" music video (shot, amazingly, right
after their one loss of the season, to Miami), all the setbacks and triumphs,
ferocious hits and foibles, of this once-in-a-lifetime team are recaptured brashly

The Assimilated Negro's Crash Course on the Modern ORIGINAL
Black Experience
Patrice Evans
Blogger and critic Patrice Evans (aka The Assimilated Negro) takes on the
modern black experience, fearlessly tackling the burning questions--great
and small--that others shy away from in our supposedly post-racial era.
Boasting a unique blend of satire, social commentary, and absurd humor, while
employing Evans's signature high-low style, Negropedia answers the questions
about race that you've secretly been dying to ask.
How do I know it's safe to get into this gypsy cab? Should I have sex with that
hot girl even though she seems to be a casual racist? And can black people still
guilt-trip white people on slavery?
When it comes to controversial issues like these, designated Black
Ambassadors to the World like Oprah and Obama can only stifle a smile and think
to themselves "Oh...snap!" But not Patrice Evans. Whether you're white and
looking to brush a little dirt off your shoulder, or an African-American in need of
"blackening up" before the next family barbecue, Negropedia provides critical
racial recon that you won't find anywhere else.

Extraordinary, Ordinary People NEW
YORK TIMES
A Memoir of Family
BESTSELLER
Condoleezza Rice
In this New York Times bestseller, Condoleezza Rice illuminates her
upbringing in the context of the extraordinary efforts made by her parents
and other people in the community to raise children against a backdrop of
explosive racial tension.
In Extraordinary, Ordinary People, former secretary of state Condoleezza Rice
evokes in rich detail her remarkable childhood, which began in the placid late
1950s, when Birmingham, Alabama, blacks lived in a segregated parallel
universe, and continued through the shockingly violent '60s, when Rice saw her
girlhood friends lose their lives to the bloodshed. Rice pays special homage to her
determined and innovative forebears, an extended clan of ministers, orators, and
educators whose ranks included a builder of schoolhouses, a school principal, and
one of the first American black women ever to receive a Ph.D. But it is Rice's
portrait of her parents, John and Angelena, that is the most indelible. Galvanizing
figures, John and Angelena not only sacrificed endlessly to give their only child
the best chance for success, but shaped the lives of countless others in the
community.

The Book of Better TRADE
PAPERBACK
Chuck Eichten
Living with diabetes is not amusing. Learning how to make it better can be.
More than 30 years ago, Chuck Eichten was diagnosed with type I diabetes.
Now he's created the book he wishes someone had given him, compiling the
(sometimes unconventional) lessons he and his doctors have learned about what
you should do to make life with diabetes better, and what you shouldn't do--or, as
Chuck advises his readers, "Save time, learn from the idiot."
The Book of Better doesn't look or sound like any other book on the diabetes
shelf. Empowering and entertaining, it covers topics like "What Is Diabetes,
Exactly?," "The Bottom Ten Worst Things About Diabetes," and "The Top Three
Best Things About Diabetes," and "How to Have Diabetes and Not Have a
Food-Obsession." Years of living with diabetes convinced Chuck that he and
others like him don't need to feel like patients when they are reading about their
condition. Like anyone, they want to understand, but they also want to be inspired,
amused, and entertained. Diabetes may be a painful challenge, but it can also be
funny, preposterous, and an opportunity to learn.
Ultimately, Chuck's upbeat message is that diabetes is something we can
make better. Infused with personality, humor, and empathy, The Book of Better
ON SALE 11/1/2011 shows how people with diabetes and their families can make life better.

Patti LuPone
Legendary Broadway star Patti LuPone shares the fascinating story of her

Patti LuPone is one of the theater's most beloved leading ladies. In her
memoir, she lays it all bare, sharing the intimate story of her life both onstage and
off--through the dizzying highs and darkest lows--with the humor and
outspokenness that have become her trademarks. With nearly 100 photographs
and illuminating details about the life of a working actor--from inspired costars and
demanding directors to her distinct perspective on how she developed and honed
her Tony Award-winning performances--Patti LuPone: A Memoir is as inspirational
as it is entertaining. And though the title says "a memoir," this is ultimately a love
letter to the theater by a unique American artist.

Different breaks the mold. A business book with heart and soul that is like
an intimate conversation with a friend who has thought deeply, uniquely,
and idiosyncratically about the world and how it really works.
How to get off the competitive treadmill that is taking you nowhere. Why
working like crazy to beat the competition does exactly the opposite--it makes you
mediocre and more like the competition. Different turns the very idea of
competition on its head and helps you create a meaningful groove of
differentiation that is fundamental and comprehensive.
Key Points/Quotes
BREAKTHROUGH COUNTERINTUITIVE BIG IDEA: Most companies compete

An Economic Hit Man Reveals Why the World Financial
Markets Imploded
John Perkins
John Perkins, author of the bestselling Confessions of an Economic Hit
Man, pulls back the curtain on the real causes of the economic meltdown,
and describes what we need to do to recover.
In his former life as an economic hit man, John Perkins was on the front lines
both as an observer and a perpetrator of events that in 2008 sent the United
States--and in fact the entire planet--spiraling toward disaster. He shows how
we've been hoodwinked by the CEOs who run the corporatocracy and the
politicians they manipulate. As Perkins makes clear, we can create a healthy
economy that will encourage businesses to act responsibly in the interests of their
employees, their customers, the environment, and society at large. "We hold the
power," he says, "if only we recognize it."

of ideas and beliefs we need to apply to our own lives and careers, in rebranding
ourselves. Arnell speaks from personal experience: the man who created the

life, transforming himself from an obese, 407-pound creative genius, into a trim,

Cindy Woodsmall
Best-selling author Cindy Woodsmall engages readers with one young Old
Order Amish woman's determination to flee from a bad decision and save a
farm--and the Amish man determined to see that she fails.
When Sylvia Fischer turned down her beau's offer of marriage, she expected
him to give her the bit of time and space she'd requested, believing they would
eventually be wed. Instead he married her sister. When she learns that his
betrayal was her father's idea--a proposition made to save the farm--she knows
she'll never trust another man.
Despite the secrets hiding in Aaron Blank's youth, he thinks he's ready to face
his future. As he sets out to make up for the wrongs he's done to his family, he
meets Sylvia, the new farmhand from a nearby district. She doesn't want him
around, seems to have his father's heart in the palm of her hand--and knows could
ruin his future.

Raised Right
How I Untangled My Faith from Politics and Learned to
Start Living the Gospel
Alisa Harris
After a childhood of picketing abortion clinics and an adolescence spent
campaigning vigorously for George W. Bush, a young woman becomes
increasingly uncomfortable with the politicization of her faith--and seeks a
way to withdraw from the culture wars without leaving behind her
relationship with God.
This intelligent and gripping book details the shift in one woman's personal
view about the interaction between politics and faith, mirroring the simultaneous
rise of a new brand of Christians: evangelicals who are passionate about social
justice, concerned about the environment, and not entirely convinced that
same-sex marriage will mark the end of civilization. This book combines the
engaging personal style of Girl Meets God with the contrarian cultural insights of
unChristian that will draw in readers who believe that "Christian" does not equate
to a single political party or cultural perspective.

Susan Meissner
A house with a turbulent Civil War history becomes home to a new bride
and stepmother in Susan Meissner's richly absorbing tale of a line of women
stuck living in patterns of regret.
On a historic Fredericksburg street, Holly Oak stands in quiet elegance. The
cannonball wedged between stone and timber is a silent reminder of what the
house endured in the Civil War. When Marielle Bishop marries into the Holly Oak
family, she soon hears rumors that the ghost of Susannah Page, a Yankee spy,
haunts Holly Oak's halls, longing for pardon. But 83-year-old Adelaide whispers to
Marielle that is not her great-grandmother who is the ghost, but the house itself
that is caught in a limbo of regret, unable to reinvent itself as a place of refuge. As
Marielle struggles to fit into her new role as wife and stepmother, haunted by the
strange aura of sorrow she feels inside Holly Oak's walls, she must reconcile her
belief that it is people - not houses - that hang onto the past.

Kim Meeder
From best-selling author and powerful storyteller Kim Meeder comes a
clarion call for women to lay down selfish ideals in order to dream a bigger
dream, pursue a higher calling, and take a stand for those without hope.
In Fierce Beauty, Kim Meeder shares stories from her own life that challenge
women to take a good, long look at what they see in their own reflection. To do a
thorough self-examination and see if instead of worshiping God, they are now
worshiping their own designer-influenced images. Meeder challenges every
woman to let her life have a unique value and purpose, not found in
self-entitlement or worldly standards. With straightforward truth and deep,
life-changing encouragement, Fierce Beauty will empower women to choose who
they will honor with their life, to pursue their true destiny, the will of their
Creator--and by doing so, to discover joy and fulfillment as they lay aside
stereotypes, turn from selfish ambition, and confidently impact causes that matter
in their communities.

Cindy Woodsmall
Experience the holidays with the Plain folk in this rich, heartwarming novella
about everyday gifts and second chances from best-selling author Cindy
Woodsmall.
Amish Mattie Eash was the Christmas Eve "precious gift" for her parents, who
enjoyed a special moment with carolers shortly before their only daughter's birth.
But at 22, Mattie no longer shares her parents' love of Christmas songs and
singings. Her old beau Eli broke up with her three years before on her birthday
and she still feels the sting. She is moving on--new life, making and decorating
elaborate cakes, and a new relationship in Ohio, hundreds of miles from her home
community in Pennsylvania. When Mattie returns to Apple Ridge to make wedding
cakes for her cousin and aunt, she and Eli are thrown back together and the
Amish man is forced to face both his still-strong feelings for Mattie--and the lie he
told her to protect her, to drive her away.
Will Eli find the strength to admit the truth about their break-up to Mattie, or will
this year's Christmas Eve Singing be another rejected tradition because of
misunderstandings and missed second chances?

Dragons of the Watch
A Novel
Donita K. Paul
In popular author Donita K. Paul's newest tale of dragons, adventure, and
faith, being in the wrong place at the wrong time points the way toward the
right future for some beloved characters.
Effie knew exactly where she was going, and talented artist-turned-hero
Bealomondore knew he had too many choices for his future. Each course would
satisfy some part of his desires, but each opportunity precluded following the
others. Putting off making decisions seemed reasonable until after he fulfilled his
obligation to Queen Tipper and Paladin. Neither Effie nor Bealomondore
anticipated an obstacle too big to avoid. In Dragons of the Watch, the two find
themselves trapped in a magically isolated city. To find the way out, they must
identify the specific needs of a band of feral children and a very old man. Along
the way, they recognize their own desires to be a part of something bigger than
their small circle of life. Bigger includes lifelong ambitions, a satisfying romantic
love, and commitment to the Creator of their universe.

Steven K. Scott
Top-selling author Steven K. Scott returns with his third blockbuster book
on Jesus--this time showing readers exactly what Jesus wants from their
lives.
The New Testament paints a vivid portrait of Jesus, showing not only who he is
but also what he accomplished on earth. In his study of the life and words of
Christ, Steven K. Scott discovered that Jesus focused on 24 primary missions
during his public ministry. Scott also found that Jesus left three primary missions
uncompleted. These are the ministries that Jesus left to his followers to complete.
Believers who remain unclear about the substance of the Christian life, or who feel
fragmented by the multiple demands of church. life, and ministry, will find that
Jesus already has focused their tasks. The Jesus Mission distills Christian living
and action to the heart of Christ's three-part commission to this followers. For
anyone who wonders how best to invest their life or who remains uncertain about
what Christ wants, Scott has written the ultimate guidebook.

Clear Direction and Spiritual Power for Your Life PAPERBACK
Shaun Alexander
National Football League MVP turned speaker and Bible teacher, Shaun
Alexander, shows readers how to involve God in their lives--every step of
the way.
It is possible for any believer or spiritual seeker to identify what God is doing in
their life. Shaun Alexander reveals the pattern God follows as he works in a
person's life, which replaces confusion and uncertainty with faith. While God deals
with each person individually, the sequence he follows is the same. God leads a
person from Wanderer (spiritual seeker), to Believer, to Example, to Teacher, to
Imparter. By recognizing the pattern God follows, readers can calibrate their lives
to God's cadences. They can learn how to avoid running ahead of what God
wants to do in their lives. And they can stop dragging their feet in doubt.

What if disappointments, failures, heartaches--all the inevitable hardships of
life--are seen for what they truly are: opportunities to overcome and rule
over circumstances through relentless faith in God's goodness and power?
Drawing on his trademark fresh-and-revealing study of Scripture, John Bevere
convincingly shows how great men and women--in Bible times and
today--embrace the "hard places" in life and, as a result, develop a strong,
relentless spirit. For example, John the Baptist spent years living off the land in a
barren desert. And before His dynamic ministry began, even Jesus endured
hardship in a desolate wilderness--fasting and facing temptation--and came out
strong in the "power of the Spirit." Both men were thus empowered to succeed in
their significant life mission given them by God. They were relentless in not just
"getting through" challenges but in ruling over their circumstances to advance the
kingdom of God. This is also the life pattern intended for all believers...to develop
a strong spirit in them.

Not Even a Hint REPACK
How the Gospel Rescues Us from Lust
Joshua Harris
In a world where sexual titillation has gone public and private lust is fast
becoming an accepted norm, Joshua Harris shows readers another
way--that integrity, respect and freedom have been made possible through
the Gospel of grace.
Widely admired since its original release, Not Even a Hint delivers life-tested,
Gospel-based advice for Christians who take seriously the Apostle Paul's advice
that their lives should be free of "even a hint" of sexual impropriety. "Change
doesn't happen from a technique or from working harder primarily, it comes from
knowing what Jesus has done for you through his life, death and resurrection,"
writes Harris. Along with his trademark theological substance, Harris delivers
honest conversation and practical, hope-filled answers.

For fans of Mad Men, lovers of New Orleans, and style aficionados comes a

decor store, has a passion for eclectic, elegant interiors, and in this book of

anyone can achieve a fabulous, livable home--and decorating it doesn't need to

From the internationally known editor in chief and creative mastermind
behind the late, lamented cult magazine domino, which spun off the
bestselling domino: the book of decorating, this gorgeously illustrated and
charmingly written guide describes the 80 items that are all one needs for a
livable, comfortable, and undeniably stylish home.
With more than 180 original watercolor illustrations by famed illustrator and
textile designer Virginia Johnson, The Essentials is THE guide to choosing the
must-haves, from the big stuff (a doted-on bed, a couch that will last generations)
to the quirky accents (items with animal print, an odd-looking chair) to cozifications
(pillows and throws). Each item becomes an opportunity to add expression, style,
and beauty to the home, and to make everyone in it feel comfortable, glamorous,
and well-cared for. The book's classic design and the approachable tone of the
text--including brief essays and sidebars that highlight each of the 80 essentials
and offer histories, various uses, and styling tips--set this book apart from the rest
in its category, much as Nina Garcia's bestselling The One Hundred did for
fashion.

Jacqueline deMontravel
For today's generation of single gals or married women who want a modern,
romantic, feminine, grown-up room of their own, this is an empowering
guide to creating a beautiful sanctuary in any space.
What woman doesn't yearn for such a room of her own--one in which she can
listen to Ella Fitzgerald (or Lady Gaga) and engross herself in the pages of
Wuthering Heights (or US Weekly) with no hint of tea cozies or cloying frills?
In Hers, Jacqueline deMontravel transports readers to more than 25 spaces
that show how feminine decor can be fresh, modern, and inviting, not fussy or
saccharine. Sidebars, tips, and tricks help women create entire rooms or
appropriate spaces of their own and make them sexy, special...and welcoming to
beaux as well as belles.

The Nine Pregnancy Countdown
Journal
Kelly Sopp and David Sopp
For the stylish mom-to-be who wants a smart and sophisticated keepsake
for recording memories and milestones during her pregnancy.
The Nine Pregnancy Countdown Journal is a chic and engaging keepsake
book that will appeal to women with an eye for style and a sense of humor about
the exciting (and bewildering) path to motherhood. Featuring nine colorful tabbed
sections that correspond to each month, the journal contains smart prompts to
help a busy mom-to-be capture important milestones and funny moments before
pregnesia (aka "baby brain") wipes the slate clean. The book includes pages for
writing about the first time you felt the baby flutter, prompts to let you vent about
any crazy (and unsolicited) advice you've been getting, and monthly "check in"
pages for belly photos and quick notes about life in general. The Nine Pregnancy
Countdown Journal is the perfect journal for a woman who shuns cutesy baby
gear (and would prefer if everyone's attention didn't revolve so much around "the
bump"), but who is still engaged in an exciting countdown toward the arrival of her
baby.

365 days. 5 years. 1,825 happy moments. The Happiness Journal is the ideal
project for anyone who is looking to add more meaning and happiness to
their lives but is short on time.
Based on the book, The Happiness Project by Gretchen Rubin, this five-year
journal will help you make a time capsule of the next few years in the simplest way
possible. You can start at any point in the year. Simply turn to today's date, and
take a few moments to think about the quote or question on the top of the page.
Jot down your thoughts and perhaps a note about what made you happy. As the
years go by you'll notice how your responses evolve (or don't) and discover the
things that lead to lasting happiness. The quotes are interesting, funny, and
always thought provoking. The diary can be started on any day of the year but
makes a terrific gift for the New Year or birthdays.

The Artist's Guide to Drawing the
Clothed Figure
A Complete Resource on Rendering Clothing and
Drapery
Michael Massen
A comprehensive resource on drapery and the clothed figure, from the
anatomy of clothing as basic shapes, to how the principles of physics act
upon different fabrics, with techniques and tips for rendering perfect
drapery.
In The Artist's Guide to Drawing the Clothed Figure, author Michael Massen
presents his thorough and novel approach to drapery by first describing clothing
and drapery as basic shapes, and then illustrating how the mechanics of physics
cause these shapes to bend, fold, or wrinkle in predictable ways. Expanding upon
these principles, the book details how to use these concepts to render all types of
clothing in any medium. Fully illustrated techniques and examples from old world
and contemporary masters, from Raphael to Walt Disney, make this book the
definitive text on the subject of rendered clothing and drapery.

Lori Hope
A cancer survivor offers 20 crucial suggestions for the friends, family
members, physicians, and caregivers of cancer patients wishing to
understand, communicate, and act with greater empathy and sensitivity.
Knowing the right things to say and do for someone with cancer can be
daunting, and asking the patient for direction may feel inappropriate. Following her
own diagnosis and treatment for lung cancer, Lori Hope surveyed hundreds of
cancer patients and survivors for the first edition of Help Me Live. In 2010, her
new survey received many surprising responses, such as: "Although I need to feel
hopeful, telling me to think positively makes me feel worse," "I need to know you'll
forgive me when I bite your head off," and "If you really want to help me, be
specific about your offer." Presented with humor, insight, and honesty, the
updated edition will help readers communicate more effectively, listen more
compassionately, and make a positive difference to those living with cancer.

Odd Bits
How to Cook the Rest of the Animal
Jennifer McLagan
The eagerly anticipated follow-up to the author's award-winning Bones and
Fat, Odd Bits features over 100 recipes devoted to the "rest of the animal,"
those under-appreciated but incredibly flavorful and versatile alternative
cuts of meat.
We're all familiar with the prime cuts--the beef tenderloin, rack of lamb, and
pork chops. But what about kidneys, tripe, liver, belly, cheek, and shank? Odd
Bits will not only restore our taste for these cuts, but will also remove the mystery
of cooking with offal, so food lovers can approach them as confidently as they
would a steak. From the familiar (pork belly), to the novel (cockscomb), to the
downright challenging (lamb testicles), Jennifer McLagan provides expert advice
and delicious recipes to make these odd bits part of every enthusiastic cook's
repertoire.

Basic to Brilliant, Y'all
150 Refined Southern Recipes and Ways to Dress
them Up for Company
Virginia Willis; Foreword by Anne Willan
A follow-up to the author's acclaimed Bon Appetit, Y'all, featuring 150
recipes that combine Southern flavors with time-honored French technique,
and include a sophisticated variation that kicks each dish up a notch to
make it brilliant.
Virginia Willis has a knack for giving French recipes a down-home Southern
feel. In Basic to Brilliant, Y'all, she builds on her signature style by offering 150
dual recipes: a soul-satisfying basic recipe accompanied by a technique, garnish,
additional step, or short recipe that transforms a wonderful dish into a show
stopper. A weeknight classic like Mama's Chicken Pot Pie becomes sophisticated
dinner party fare when it's baked in a winter squash, and Old Fashioned Stove
Top Low-Country Broth can be transformed into a Bouillabaisse-style broth with
just a few simple changes. Throughout the book, Virginia paints a vivid picture of
her Southern upbringing, drawing readers in with her vibrant tales of food and
friends.

Linda O'Keeffe
An intriguing, multifaceted look at white interiors and the use of white in
architecture and design. Author Linda O'Keeffe explores different aspects of
white--light, purity, nature--in a book that collages text and image, detail and
panorama, in-depth study and stunning "glam shot."
In this unique, full-color volume, author Linda O'Keeffe focuses on one
color--white--and explores how it is used in interiors to signify different things, as
well as looking at white objects, what they mean, and how they are used in the
home. The introduction covers the recent history of white in interior design, and
the eight chapters that follow are mini-essays on characteristic attributes of white:
unity, neutrality, lucidity, and so forth. Each chapter features a dazzling portfolio of
images (art, advertising, landscape, decorating); an in-depth study of a prominent
interior designer (Vicente Wolf, Kelly Hoppen, Richard Meier, Albert Hadley); and
a "glam shot": a magnificent full-page image of a textile or other detail.
