Bennoune, Karima
YOUR FATWAS DO NOT APPLY HERE: Untold Stories from the Fight Against Muslim
Fundamentalism
Journalists, theater directors, doctors, musicians, museum curators, lawyers, comics, street
vendors, educators, and women’s rights activists—these are some of the people Karima
Bennoune interviewed in her three-year investigation of grass-roots opposition to the rising tide
of fundamentalism in Muslim populations from Lahore, Pakistan, to Minneapolis, Minnesota. Her
subjects’ own religious views range from the wholly secular to the deeply devout, yet all bear
painful witness to the brutal effects of fundamentalist violence and oppression. True defenders of
freedom, they struggle to foster creativity, compassion, discussion, and diversity even sometimes
in the face of death threats (and more than threats) from armed religious militants. A veteran of
twenty years of human rights research and activism, Karima Bennoune is a professor of law at the
University of California–Davis School of Law. She grew up in Algeria and the United States, and
now lives in northern California.

THE QUANTUM MOMENT
Quantum mechanics has profoundly and unexpectedly transformed not only science but human
culture as well. Robert Crease and Alfred Goldhaber tell the improbable story of how a technical
idea from a small branch of thermodynamics grew in complexity and authority, eventually
dominating the scientific community and commanding the attention of the culture at large. The
authors trace popular images (e.g. time travel, parallel worlds) back to their scientific roots,
ending each chapter with an interlude that explains in depth the math and physics underpinning
them. Robert P. Crease is the chairman of the Philosophy Department at Stony Brook University
and the author of, among other works, World in the Balance. Alfred S. Goldhaber is a professor
of physics at Stony Brook University and has written on the study of elementary particles,
magnetic monopoles, and cosmology.

Dawisha, Adeed
THE SECOND ARAB AWAKENING: Revolution, Democracy, and the Islamist Challenge
From Tunis to Damascus
When, in early 2011, people poured onto the streets of Arab cities to demand freedom, it was not
for the first time. An earlier spate of revolutions had swept the Arab world in the 1950s and 1960s
to throw off the shackles of colonialism. Those revolutions that had promised so much
bequeathed the recent crop of Arab despots. What then, of the chances for success this time? This
elegantly written, concise, yet detailed book is essential to understanding a fast-changing political
landscape. Born in Baghdad, Adeed Dawisha is University Distinguished Professor of Political
Science at Miami University of Ohio.

THE RED MAN’S BONES: George Catlin, Artist and Showman
George Catlin painted more than 600 portraits of individual chiefs, braves, squaws and children
of the Northern Plains Indian tribes between 1830 and 1836. He also recorded astonishing
landscapes, bison hunts, and ceremonies, including the Mandan coming-of-age torture ritual,
which no white man had ever witnessed. In 1839, Catlin left for Europe, where he began
exhibiting Iowas and Ojibwas. In the process, he changed from advocate to exploiter. Many of the
Indians died, as did Catlin's wife and only son; he was thrown into debtor's prison, and all his
works were seized. Benita Eisler is the author of biographies of Georgia O'Keeffe and Alfred
Stieglitz; Lord Byron; Frederic Chopin; and George Sand.

Fleming, John
THE DARK SIDE OF THE ENLIGHTENMENT: Wizards, Alchemists, and Spiritual
Seekers in the Age of Reason
Although there is lively disagreement concerning the precise definition and dates of the European
Enlightenment, scholars generally include among its principal features great strides in the
liberation of human thought from superstition and traditional religion and the retreat of the
concept of the supernatural before the advance of empirical science. In this book John V. Fleming
shows how the impulses of enlightenment were challenged by tenacious religious ideas or
channeled into the “darker” pursuits of the esoteric and the occult. His engaging topics include
the stubborn survival of the miraculous, the Enlightenment roles of Rosicrucianism and Free
Masonry, and the widespread pursuit of magic and alchemy. John V. Fleming, a Fellow of the
American Academy of Arts and Sciences, taught humanistic studies at Princeton University for
forty years. He is the author of The Anti-Communist Manifestos: Four Books That Shaped the

endless nickel-and-diming, Gerchick explains how flying is losing its soul and what that means
practically for our health, safety, and most of all our sanity. A former chief counsel of the Federal
Aviation Administration and Transportation Department policy official, Mark Gerchick is now an

“ON MY WAY”: The Untold Story of Rouben Mamoulian, George Gershwin, and Porgy
and Bess
A forgotten master of American musical theater, Rouben Mamoulian directed the original
production of Porgy and Bess, the opera that catapulted his career. Culling newly released
information from the Mamoulian Archives at the Library of Congress, Joseph Horowitz shows
that, more than any other individual, Mamoulian transformed DuBose Heyward’s 1925 novella,
Porgy, from a quasi-realistic regional cameo into an epic theater work about suffering and
redemption. A former New York Times music critic, Joseph Horowitz is the award-winning author
of ten books exploring the history of American music, including Classical Music in America and

SHADY CHARACTERS: The Secret Life of Punctuation, Symbols, and Other
Typographical Marks
Every day we rely on punctuation marks to help us say what we mean, but where did they come
from? Consider the ampersand (&), which started life as Pompeian graffiti, or the at sign (@),
which languished in obscurity for centuries until rescued by the Internet. Whether investigating
what the pilcrow (¶) has to do with medieval Christianity or what became of many ill-fated
attempts to produce a standard sarcasm mark, Shady Characters provides a charming and
indispensable perspective on two thousand years of the written word across time, alphabets, and
countries. Keith Houston is the creator of the Shady Characters blog. He lives in Edinburgh,

THE MARCH ON WASHINGTON: Jobs, Freedom, and the Forgotten History of Civil

Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I Have a Dream” speech was transcendent, a challenge to realize
American ideals that still inspires fifty years later. But the very power of that speech has obscured
the actual significance of the march and, by extension, the larger civil rights movement. William
P. Jones’s history restores the march in its full dimension and locates it within the broad history
of civil rights. William P. Jones, a professor of history at the University of Wisconsin, focuses on

Kieffer, Susan
THE DYNAMICS OF DISASTER
Humans persist in building centers of civilization in places of past disasters. We believe that our
technology will protect us, yet we rarely win these battles with the earth because we don’t
understand natural disasters deeply enough. Susan W. Kieffer has two goals for this unique book.
The first is to show how the workings of disasters are connected by a small number of natural
laws. The second is to show that the most obvious process in a disaster is not always the one that
causes the devastation. Kieffer argues that only by truly understanding the dynamics of natural
disasters can we begin to institute engineering and policy practices to minimize their impact on
our lives. Susan W. Kieffer is professor emerita of geology at the University of Illinois and a
recipient of the MacArthur Foundation “genius” grant.

Levitt, Theresa
A SHORT, BRIGHT FLASH: Augustin Fresnel and the Birth of the Modern Lighthouse
Augustin Fresnel (1788–1827) shocked the scientific elite with his view of the physics of light.
The lens he invented was a feat of engineering that made lighthouses blaze many times brighter,
farther, and more efficiently than they had before. As secretary of France’s Lighthouse
Commission, he planned and oversaw the lighting of the nation’s coast. Although Fresnel died
young, his brother Léonor presided over the spread of the new technology around the globe. The
new lights were of strategic importance in navigation, and the Fresnel legacy played an important
role in major geopolitical events, warfare, and trade. Levitt’s scientific and historical account,
rich in anecdote and personality, is a compelling tale of a fascinating but unheralded technology.
Theresa Levitt is an associate professor of history at the University of Mississippi.

Lopez, Donald and Peggy McCracken
THE CHRISTIAN BUDDHA: How an Asian Sage Became a Medieval Saint
The Christian Buddha traces the parallels between the Buddha and Saint Josaphat, whose story of
converting to Christianity was one of the most popular tales in medieval Europe. The Christian
Buddha reveals surprising convergences—and divergences—between these two major religions,
including on such topics as the meaning of death, the meaning of desire, and the role of women in
each religion. The authors also attempt to explain why Buddhism and Christianity have avoided
the kinds of contention that have marked the relations of other religions. Donald Lopez is
Distinguished University Professor of Buddhist and Tibetan Studies at the University of
Michigan. Peggy McCracken is Professor of French and Women’s Studies at the University of
Michigan and is translating the story of Saint Josaphat.

ITALIAN WAYS: On and Off the Rails from Milan to Palermo
Travel writer Tim Parks’s best-selling books on Italy have been hailed as “so vivid, so packed
with delectable details, [they] serve as a more than decent substitute for the real thing” (Los
Angeles Times Book Review). Now, in his first Italian travelogue in a decade, he brings us a fresh
portrait of Italy today through a wry account of riding its trains. Whether describing his daily
commute from Milan to Verona, his regular trips to Florence and Rome, or his occasional
sojourns to Naples and Sicily, Parks uses his thirty years of amusing and maddening experiences
on Italian trains to reveal what he calls the “charmingly irritating dystopian paradise” of Italy.
Tim Parks is the author of the best-selling Italian Neighbors and An Italian Education. His novels
have won the Somerset Maugham Award and the Betty Trask Prize and have been shortlisted for
the Man Booker Prize.

Freedom, in Philip Pettit’s provocative analysis, “requires more than just being let alone.” In Just

freedom—the eyeball test, the tough luck test, and the straight talk test—Pettit provocatively
links justice and freedom while laying out essential yardsticks for policymakers and concerned
citizens alike. Pettit was born in Ballygar, Ireland, and is a widely acclaimed philosopher and

Scarry, Elaine
THERMONUCLEAR MONARCHY: Choosing Between Democracy and Doom
During his impeachment proceedings, Richard Nixon boasted, “I can go into my office and pick
up the telephone and in 25 minutes 70 million people will be dead.” In this incisive, masterfullyargued new book, award-winning social theorist Elaine Scarry demonstrates that the power of one
leader to obliterate millions with a nuclear weapon—a possibility that remains very real—actually
violates constitutional rights and is fundamentally at odds with the principle of democracy. When
a leader can single-handedly decide to deploy a nuclear weapon, we live in a state of
“thermonuclear monarchy,” not democracy. Scarry’s bold, provocative conclusions also
demonstrate that times of crisis require extensive debate and deliberation, not swift, unilateral,
preemptive action or restrictions on civil rights and dissent. Elaine Scarry is the Walter M. Cabot
Professor of Aesthetics and the General Theory of Value at Harvard University. In 2005, Foreign
Policy/the Prospect named her one of the 100 leading intellectuals in the world. Her book The
Body in Pain was a 1985 National Book Critics Circle Award Finalist.

WHAT ARE THEY THINKING?! The Straight Facts about the Risk-Taking, SocialNetworking, Still-Developing Teen Brain
Adolescence has long been characterized as the “storm and stress” period, and with recent
developments in digital communication, it seems today’s teens are in for a more complicated
journey than ever before. Even the most sympathetic, “in-touch” parents might throw their hands
up in frustration at their teen’s unpredictable and risky behavior. It turns out that teens’ thrillseeking activities and quests for independence aren’t just the result of raging hormones, but rather
typical effects of the unique structure and development of the adolescent brain. In easily
navigable chapters full of practical anecdotes and examples, acclaimed scientists Aaron White
and Scott Swartzwelder draw from the most recent studies on the teen brain to illuminate the
complexities of issues such as school, driving, social networking, video games, and mental health
in kids whose crucial brain connections are just coming online. Paperback original.

GOD OF THE GREEN MOUNTAINS: The Radical Philosophy of the Founding Fathers
Where do “Nature’s God,” “unalienable rights,” and the belief that “all men are created equal”
come from? The fact is that a surprisingly large number of America’s first leaders were,
collectively, “heterodox”—meaning their religious beliefs strayed far outside the bounds of any
orthodox version of mainstream religion. Featuring rich portraits of revolutionary figures like
Ethan Allen, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Paine, and Thomas Young, this book
asks, how could a godly people organize themselves according to so many ungodly ideas?

THE INTERNAL ENEMY: Slavery and War in Virginia, 1772–1832
Frederick Douglass recalled that slaves living along Chesapeake Bay longingly viewed sailing
ships as “freedom’s swift-winged angels.” In 1813 those angels appeared in the bay as British
warships coming to punish the Americans for declaring war on the empire. Over many nights,
hundreds of slaves paddled out to the vessels seeking protection for their families. The runaways
pressured the British admirals into becoming liberators. As guides, pilots, sailors, and marines,
the former slaves used their intimate knowledge of the countryside to transform the war.
Tidewater masters had long dreaded their slaves as “an internal enemy.” Alan Taylor has won the
Pulitzer and Bancroft prizes for his histories of early America. He is Distinguished Professor of
History at University of California, Davis.

was potent: together they built parks, bridges, and schools; put the unemployed to work; and
strengthened an expansive vision of government as serving the public purpose. Mason B.

THE FABLIAUX: A New Verse Translation
Composed between the twelfth and fourteenth centuries, these virtually unknown yet deeply

Graybill, Andrew
THE RED AND THE WHITE: A Family Saga of the American West
Award-winning Western historian Andrew Graybill sheds light on the overlooked interracial
Native-white relationships critical in the development of the trans-Mississippi West in this
dramatic, multigenerational saga. Beginning in 1844 with the marriage of Montana fur trader
Malcolm Clarke and his Piegan Blackfeet bride, Coth-co-co-na, Graybill traces the family from
the mid-nineteenth century, when such mixed marriages proliferated and racial tension was
muted, to the first half of the twentieth, when Clarke’s children and grandchildren often
encountered virulent prejudice. Andrew Graybill is an associate professor of history and director
of the William P. Clements Center for Southwest Studies at Southern Methodist University.

Kirsch, Jonathan
THE SHORT, STRANGE LIFE OF HERSCHEL GRYNZSPAN: A Boy Avenger, A Nazi
Diplomat, and a Murder in Paris
On the morning of November 7, 1938, Herschel Grynszpan, a desperate seventeen-year-old
Jewish refugee, walked into the German embassy in Paris and shot Ernst vom Rath, a Nazi
diplomat. Two days later vom Rath lay dead, and the Third Reich exploited the murder to unleash
Kristallnacht—its horrific campaign of terror against Germany’s Jewish citizens in a bizarre
concatenation of events that would rapidly involve Ribbentrop, Goebbels, and Hitler himself.
Best-selling author Jonathan Kirsch brings to light this wrenching story, reexamining the
historical details and moral dimensions of one of World War II’s most enigmatic cases. Jonathan
Kirsch is the author of the bestsellers Harlot by the Side of the Road and The Grand Inquisitor’s
Manual.

Schwarz, John
COMMON CREDO: The Path Back to American Success
In Common Credo, Schwarz gives a voice to the angry and long-ignored majority of Americans,
who have been abandoned by both contemporary conservatism and liberalism, leading to our
current economic collapse. He shows why both ideologies are fatally flawed, and he lays out a
bold, detailed, and centrist platform that all Americans can rally around, one that springs directly
from the Founders and that produces an active yet answerable government and a sustainable,
healthy economy. John Schwarz is a professor emeritus of political science at University of
Arizona. In addition to his five previous books, he has written for The Atlantic, the New Republic,
The Nation, the Wall Street Journal, and the New York Times, among other periodicals.

Sperber, Jonathan
KARL MARX: A Nineteenth-Century Life
For nearly a century, Karl Marx, the German philosopher and political firebrand turned London
émigré journalist, has been imprisoned by “isms,” misinterpreted through the writings of Engels
and the totalitarian aspirations of Lenin and Stalin. Challenging this antiquated portrait, Jonathan
Sperber demonstrates that Marx had more in common with Robespierre than with twentiethcentury Communists. Using the complete Marx and Engels database only recently opened,
Sperber juxtaposes the private man against the public agitator who helped foment the 1848−49
Revolution and whose incendiary books inflamed the underground dissident world of Europe. In
doing so, Sperber not only animates Marx’s personal life—his childhood, his loving marriage
despite an illegitimate child with the family maid, his catastrophic financial woes—but also
presents Marx’s story against a backdrop of famous contemporaries, from Napoleon III to
Bismarck, Adam Smith to Charles Darwin. Jonathan Sperber, the author of The European
Revolutions: 1848−1851, is the Curators’ Professor of History at the University of Missouri.

Van Loon, Hendrik Willem, Revised by Robert Sullivan
THE STORY OF MANKIND
The winner of the first John Newberry Medal remains a timeless classic for all ages. Originally
written for the author’s grandchildren, The Story of Mankind has charmed generations with its
warmth, simplicity, and wisdom. Rather than the dry recitation of events, van Loon’s witty,
amiable tone animates the story of human history as a grand and perpetually unfolding adventure.
This new version has been brought up to date by best-selling historian Robert Sullivan, who
continues van Loon’s personable style, incorporating the most important developments of the
early twenty-first century, including the war on terrorism, global warming, and the election of
Barack Obama. Robert Sullivan is the author of The Meadowlands, A Whale Hunt, and Rats. He
is a contributing editor to Vogue, and his writing has appeared in The New Yorker and The New

Wilson, E.O.
LETTERS TO A YOUNG SCIENTIST
Inspired by Theodore Rilke’s Letters to a Young Poet, Edward O. Wilson has distilled sixty years
of teaching into a book for students, young and old. Reflecting on his coming-of-age in the South,
Wilson threads these twenty-one letters, each richly illustrated, with autobiographical anecdotes
that illuminate his career and his motivations for becoming a biologist. At a time in human
history when our survival is more than ever linked to our understanding of science, Wilson insists
that success in the sciences does not depend on mathematical skill, but rather a passion for
finding a problem and solving it. Edward O. Wilson is the author of the New York Times
bestsellers The Social Conquest of Earth and Anthill: A Novel, as well as the Pulitzer Prize–
winning On Human Nature and (with Bert Hölldobler) The Ants. For his contributions in science
and conservation, he has received more than one hundred awards from around the world and
remains a professor emeritus at Harvard University.

THE RESURRECTIONIST
Nemo Johnston was one of many Civil War–era “resurrectionists” responsible for procuring
human corpses for doctors’ anatomy training. More than a century later, Dr. Jacob Thacker, a
young medical resident on probation for Xanax abuse and assigned to work public relations for
his medical school’s dean, finds himself facing a moral dilemma when a campus renovation

First-time novelist Matthew Quinn deftly weaves historical and fictional truth, salted with
contemporary social satire, and traditional Southern Gothic into a tale of shocking crimes and
exquisite revenge. A native of Atlanta, Matthew Guinn holds degrees in English from the
University of Georgia, the University of Mississippi, and the University of South Carolina.

A GUIDE FOR THE PERPLEXED
Software prodigy Josie Ashkenazi has invented a program that records everything its users do.
When an Egyptian library invites her to visit as a consultant, her jealous sister Judith persuades
her to go. But in Egypt’s postrevolutionary chaos, Josie is kidnapped—leaving Judith free to
usurp her sister’s life, including her husband and daughter, while Josie’s talent for preserving
memories becomes her only hope of escape. A century earlier, Solomon Schechter, a Cambridge
professor, hunts for a medieval archive hidden in a Cairo synagogue. What he finds will reveal
the power and danger of the world Josie’s work brings into being: a world where nothing is ever
forgotten. Interweaving stories from Genesis, medieval philosophy, and the digital frontier, A
Guide for the Perplexed is a spellbinding tale from one of Granta’s “Best Young American
Novelists,” and winner of two National Jewish Book Awards.
