What was it about him that had struck Maigret so forcefully? . . . Little John had cold eyes! . . .
Four or five times in his life, he had met people with cold eyes, those eyes that can stare at you
without establishing any human contact.
Persuaded to sail to New York by a fearful young law student, Maigret finds himself drawn into
the city's underworld, and a wealthy businessman's closely guarded past.

At what point in the day could the note have been slipped into his pocket, his left breast
pocket? It was an ordinary sheet of glazed squared paper, probably torn out of an exercise book.
The words were written in pencil, in a regular handwriting that looked to him like a
woman's. For pity's sake, ask to see the patient in room 15.
When Inspector Maigret's wife falls ill on their seaside holiday at Les Sables d'Olonne, a visit
to the hospital leads him on an unexpected quest to find justice for a young girl.

'For personal reasons, or for reasons I don't know myself, I began feeling old, and I began
keeping notebooks. I was nearing the age of sixty'
Georges Simenon's autobiographical notebooks, in which he recorded his observations,
experiences, anxieties and 'all the silly ideas that pass through my head', are one of the most
candid self-portraits of a writer ever put to paper. Here, as the celebrated author ruthlessly
examines his tortuous writing methods, his past, his fame, his intimate relationships and his
fears of ageing, the result is an unsparing, often painfully revealing insight into a man trying
both to find and to escape himself.
'As revealed in these notebooks, Simenon's is a shrewd, lucid mind . . . the balance tips toward
the real, the immediate, the mysteries of human complexity above all . . . Utterly
unpretentious.' The New York Times

Richard Lane was one of the three brothers who founded Penguin Books in 1935. For close to
three decades he led the business with Allen Lane, and he championed the imprint's editorial
character and commitment to quality.
But before Penguin, Richard was a boy migrant in rural South Australia and New South Wales.
From 1922 to 1926 he worked on the land and endured many hardships, then used his new
skills to become an entrepreneur. In Australia he deepened his appreciation for literature, and
understood how important it was to make good writing widely accessible.
During this time, Richard also wrote a remarkable diary, which today stands as an important
historical document. It is amongst the best descriptions, from the perspective of a boy migrant,
of the 'Barwell Boys' migration scheme, which brought scores of young Englishmen to
Australia. Richard's diary vividly charts his life and loves, and his coming of age in a new land.
Outback Penguin includes a foreword from one of Australia's foremost historians, Geoffrey
Blainey.

A contentious, deeply moving ode to friendship, love, and urban life.
A memoir of self-discovery and the dilemma of connection in our time, The Odd Woman and
the City explores the rhythms, chance encounters, and ever-changing friendships of urban life
that forge the sensibility of a fiercely independent woman who has lived out her conflicts, not
her fantasies, in a city (New York) that has done the same.
Running steadily through the book is Vivian Gornick's exchange of more than twenty years
with Leonard, a gay man who is sophisticated about his own unhappiness, whose friendship has
'shed more light on the mysterious nature of ordinary human relations than has any other
intimacy' she has known.
The exchange between Gornick and Leonard acts as a Greek chorus to the main action of the
narrator's continual engagement on the street with grocers, derelicts, and doormen; people on
the bus, cross-dressers on the corner, and acquaintances by the handful.
In Leonard she sees herself reflected plain; out on the street she makes sense of what she sees.
Written as a narrative collage that includes meditative pieces on the making of a modern
feminist, the role of the flaneur in urban literature, and the evolution of friendship over the past
two centuries, The Odd Woman and the City beautifully bookends Gornick's acclaimed Fierce
Attachments, in which we first encountered her rich relationship with the ultimate metropolis.

Born on a remote island in Papua New Guinea to a migrant Chinese father and indigenous
mother, Julius Chan overcame poverty, discrimination, and family tragedy to become one of
Papua New Guinea's longest-serving and most influential politicians.
His 50-year career, including two terms as Prime Minister, encompasses a crucial period of
Papua New Guinea's history, particularly its coming of age from an Australian colony to a
leading democratic nation in the South Pacific. Chan has played a significant role during these
decades of political, economic and social change. Playing the Game offers unique insights into
one of the world's most ancient and complex tribal cultures. It also explores the vexed issues of
increasing corruption, government failure, and the unprecedented exploitation of its precious
natural resources.
In the first memoir by a Papua New Guinean leader in forty years, Sir Julius Chan explores his
decision in 1997 to hire a private military force, Sandline International, to quell the ongoing
civil crisis in Bougainville. This controversial deal sparked worldwide outrage, cost Sir Julius
the prime ministership and led to ten years in the political wilderness. He was re-elected as
Governor of New Ireland in 2007, aged 68, a seat he has held ever since.
Playing the Game is an authentic and compelling account of Chan's private and political life,
and offers a rare insight into how the modern nation of Papua New Guinea came to be, the
vision and values it was founded on, and the extraordinary challenges it faces in the 21st
century.

Lithuania, 1913. Haunted by memories of the pogroms, Jacob Frank leaves his village in the
hope of a better life, and boards a ship bound for New York. Twenty-five years later, his
daughter Bertha sets sail for South Africa to marry a man she has never met, unaware of the
tumult that lies ahead. In time, her granddaughter Shelley, following those very steps in reverse,
flees the violence of apartheid to live in America, before at last finding home in Australia.
These immigrant voyages, repeated from one generation to the next, form the heart of this
richly layered memoir. Drawing on her grandmother's diary and letters, Shelley Davidow tells
her family's stories in vivid detail, recounting their experiences of love and loss alongside her
own. As she learns about the past, Shelley discovers that her aspirations and fears, her dreams
and nightmares, echo those of her forebears as ancestral whisperings in the blood.
Spanning four continents and one hundred years, this extraordinary book explores the heartache
and emotional legacies of those who leave their homelands forever.

'David Marr is as brilliant a biographer and journalist as this country has produced'—Peter
Craven, Spectator
A brilliant biography for an election year . . .
Who is Bill Shorten? How did he rise to become Labor leader? And does he have what it takes
to beat Malcolm Turnbull and lead the country?
In Faction Man, David Marr traces the hidden career of a Labor warrior. In dazzling style, he
shows how a brilliant recruiter and formidable campaigner mastered first the unions and then
the party. Marr presents a man willing to deal with his enemies and shift his allegiances, whose
ambition to lead has been fixed since childhood.
But does he stand for anything? Is Shorten a defender of Labor values in today's Australia or a
shape-shifter, driven entirely by politics? How does the union world he comes from shape the
prime minister he might be? Marr reveals a man we hardly know: a virtuoso with numbers and
a strategist of skill who Labor hopes will return the party to power.

'The most incisive portrait of Turnbull that's been written.' – David Marr
A scintillating biography for an election year . . .
In Stop at Nothing Annabel Crabb recounts the Malcolm Turnbull story with characteristic wit
and perceptiveness.
Drawing on extensive interviews with Turnbull, Crabb delves into the young man's university
exploits – which included co-authoring a musical with Bob Ellis – and his remarkable
relationship with Kerry Packer, the man for whom he was at first a prized attack dog, and then a
mortal enemy. She asks whether Turnbull – colourful, aggressive, humorous and ruthless – has
changed sufficiently to entrench himself as prime minister. She tells how he first lost, and then
won back, the Liberal leadership, and explores the challenges that now face him as the forwardlooking leader of a conservative Coalition government.
This is a memorable and highly amusing portrait by one of the country's most incisive writers.

In April 1916, shortly before the commencement of the Battle of the Somme, a fire started in a
vast gunpowder works located in the Kent marshes. The resulting series of explosions killed
108 people and injured many more.
In a remarkable piece of storytelling, Brian Dillon recreates the events of that terrible day - and,
in so doing, sheds a fresh and unexpected light on the British home front in the Great War. He
offers a chilling natural history of explosives and their effects on the earth, on buildings, and on
human and animal bodies. And he evokes with vivid clarity one of Britain's strangest and most
remarkable landscapes - where he has been a habitual explorer for many years. The Great
Explosion is a profound work of narrative, exploration and inquiry from one of our most
brilliant writers.

Malcolm Turnbull says we need to be agile citizens, and that there has never been a more
exciting time to be an Australian. On the other hand, the mining boom is over and the question
insists: is a recession on the way?
In this timely and original essay, George Megalogenis investigates a nation in transition. What
will a new Australia look like, economically and socially? What are the new politics of change
and renewal?
Megalogenis wonders why for so long we stopped being able to think about or prepare for a
different future. Why so defensive? Now we are faced with a growing underclass, rising
inequality and diminishing opportunities for the young. Have 25 years of growth and
unprecedented prosperity come to this? How do we re-imagine a wealthy country notable for its
equality; a cohesive country notable for its diversity?
It took the Second World War to provide the energy and focus for Reconstruction, which laid
the foundations for modern Australia. Will it take another crisis to prompt a new
reconstruction? Things could go very wrong. Things could go very right.

The Secret Teachers of the Western World
Lachman, Gary
$40.00 (B+ 210x138mm Demy 8vo) Tarcher 528pp

Running alongside the mainstream of Western intellectual history there is another current
which, in a very real sense, should take pride of place, but which for the last few centuries has
occupied a shadowy, inferior position, somewhere underground.
This 'other' stream forms the subject of Gary Lachman's epic history and analysis, The Secret
Teachers of the Western World.
In this clarifying, accessible, and fascinating study, the acclaimed historian explores the
Western esoteric tradition – a thought movement with ancient roots and modern expressions,
which, in a broad sense, regards the cosmos as a living, spiritual, meaningful being and
humankind as having a unique obligation and responsibility in it.
The historical roots of our 'counter tradition,' as Lachman explores, have their beginning in
Alexandria around the time of Christ. It was then that we find the first written accounts of the
ancient tradition, which had earlier been passed on orally. Here, in this remarkable city, filled
with teachers, philosophers, and mystics from Egypt, Greece, Asia, and other parts of the
world, in a multi-cultural, multi-faith, and pluralistic society, a synthesis took place, a creative
blending of different ideas and visions, which gave the hidden tradition the eclectic character it
retains today.
The history of our esoteric tradition roughly forms three parts:
Part One: After looking back at the earliest roots of the esoteric tradition in ancient Egypt and
Greece, the historical narrative opens in Alexandria in the first centuries of the Christian era.
Over the following centuries, it traces our 'other' tradition through such agents as the
Hermeticists; Kabbalists; Gnostics; Neoplatonists; and early Church fathers, among many
others. We examine the reemergence of the lost Hermetic books in the Renaissance and their
influence on the emerging modern mind.
Part Two: begins with the fall of Hermeticism in the late Renaissance and the beginning of 'the
esoteric counterculture.' In 1614, the same year that the Hermetic teachings fell from grace, a
strange document appeared in Kassel, Germany announcing the existence of a mysterious
fraternity: the Rosicrucians. Part two charts the impact of the Rosicrucians and the esoteric
currents that followed, such as the Romance movement and the European occult revival of the
late nineteenth century, including Madame Blavatsky and the opening of the western mind to
the wisdom of the East, and the fin-de-siècle occultism of the Hermetic Order of the Golden
Dawn.
Part Three: chronicles the rise of 'modern esotericism,' as seen in the influence of Rudolf
Steiner, Gurdjieff, Annie Besant, Krishnamurti, Aleister Crowley, R. A Schwaller de Lubicz,
and many others. Central is the life and work of C.G. Jung, perhaps the most important figure in
the development of modern spirituality. The book looks at the occult revival of the 'mystic
sixties' and our own New Age, and how this itself has given birth to a more critical, rigorous
investigation of the ancient wisdom.
With many detours and dead ends, we now seem to be slowly moving into a watershed. It has
become clear that the dominant, left-brain, reductionist view, once so liberating and exciting,
has run out of steam, and the promise of that much-sought-after 'paradigm change' seems
possible. We may be on the brink of a culminating moment of the esoteric intellectual tradition
of the West.
'Gary Lachman makes ideas thrilling . . . Start reading and feel the world around you start to
come to life.' Ptolemy Tompkins, author of The Modern Book of the Dead and collaborator
with Eben Alexander, M.D., on Proof of Heaven
'Gary Lachman spoils his readers — after encountering his prose you will find no other writing
on esoteric and occult subjects that displays such fluidity, vibrancy, and gentle but assertive
purpose . . . Gary has become the voice for our generation that Colin Wilson was before
him.' Mitch Horowitz, author of Occult America and One Simple Idea: How Positive
Thinking Reshaped Modern Life
'Gary Lachman has become an increasingly prolific engine of literate, well-written, and clearheaded books about esoteric history and 'occulture.' Erik Davis, author of TechGnosis
'Thinking outside the box, Lachman challenges many contemporary theories by reinserting a
sense of the spiritual back into the discussion.' Leonard Shlain, author of Art &
Physics and The Alphabet Versus the Goddess
'Gary Lachman presents the Western esoteric tradition as a richly detailed parade of characters,
seething with political ambitions, follies, even infamy. He teaches by example that to
understand their psychology and historical contexts is far more useful than moralizing or
partisan reactions.' Joscelyn Godwin, Colgate University, author of The Theosophical
Enlightenment
'The invisible Rosicrucian brothers of the seventeenth century, the 'Unknown Superiors' of
high-grade Freemasons, French utopian occultists, and Traditionalists of the twentieth century
trace a continuous tradition of esoteric idealism applied to political thinking. Gary Lachman
offers a panoramic spectacle of occultists and millenarian visionaries who seek to translate an
absolute gnosis into a radical program of regeneration.' Nicholas Goodrick-Clarke, professor
of Western Esotericism, University of Exeter

a holiday cooking class, and it's a hit—until Virginia Mash, the old lady upstairs, bursts in
complaining. Rather than retaliate, Bren suggests that the class shower Virginia with
kindness—and give her one hundred gifts. So they embark on the plan to lift a heart. Along the
way, amidst the knitting and the making and the baking, they'll discover the best gifts can't be
bought and family celebrations can be reborn.

Welcome to Hartley-by-the-Sea in England's beautiful Lake District, where two sisters who
meet as strangers find small miracles tucked into the corners of every day . . .
When Lucy Bagshaw's life in Boston falls apart, thanks to a scathing editorial written by her
famous artist mother, she accepts her half sister Juliet's invitation to stay with her in a charming
seaside village in northern England. Lucy is expecting quaint cottages and cream teas, but
instead finds that her sister is an aloof host, the weather is wet, windy, and cold, and her new
boss, Alex Kincaid, is a disapproving widower who only hired her as a favor to Juliet.
Despite the invitation she offered, Juliet is startled by the way Lucy catapults into her orderly
life. As Juliet faces her own struggles with both her distant mother and her desire for a child,
her sister's irrepressible optimism begins to take hold. With the help of quirky villagers, these
hesitant rainy day sisters begin to forge a new understanding…and find in each other the love
of family that makes all the difference.

Pragmatic, independent Lily St. Claire has never been a beachgoer. But when her late father
leaves her a small house on Hideaway Key—one neither her mother nor she knew he owned—
she's determined to visit the sleepy spit of land along Florida's Gulf Coast. Expecting a quaint
cottage, Lily instead finds a bungalow with peeling shutters and mountains of memorabilia. She
also catches a glimpse of the architect who lives down the beach . . .
But it's the carton of old journals in the front room that she finds most intriguing. The journals
were written by her mother's sister, an infamous beauty whose name has long been banned from
the St. Claire home. The journals tell a family tale Lily has never heard, of her mother and her
aunt as young girls in Tennessee and the secrets that followed them into adulthood. As she
reads, Lily gains a new understanding: about her family and about herself. And she begins to
open her heart—to this place, these people, and the man next door. But can she ever truly learn
to trust, to believe that love is not a trap but a harbor? And is it true that hearts, even broken
ones, can be forged anew?

13 Ways of Looking at a Fat Girl

Growing up in the suburban hell of Misery Saga (a.k.a. Mississauga), Lizzie has never liked the
way she looks—even though her best friend Mel says she's the pretty one. She starts dating
guys online, but she's afraid to send pictures, even when her skinny friend China does her
makeup: she knows no one would want her if they could really see her. So she starts to lose.
With punishing drive, she counts almonds consumed, miles logged, pounds dropped. She fights
her way into coveted dresses. She grows up and gets thin, navigating double-edged validation
from her mother, her friends, her husband, her reflection in the mirror. But no matter how much
she loses, will she ever see herself as anything other than a fat girl?
In her brilliant, hilarious, and at times shocking debut, Mona Awad simultaneously skewers the
body image-obsessed culture that tells women they have no value outside their physical
appearance, and delivers a tender and moving depiction of a lovably difficult young woman
whose life is hijacked by her struggle to conform. As caustically funny as it is heartbreaking, 13
Ways of Looking at a Fat Girl introduces a vital new voice in fiction.
'This book sparkles with wit and at the same time comes across as so transparent and genuine—
Awad knows how to talk about the raw struggles of female friendships, sex, contact,
humanness, and her voice is a wry celebration of all of this at once.' Aimee Bender, author
of The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake
'Hilarious and cutting . . . Mona Awad has a gift for turning the everyday strange and luminous,
for finding bright sparks of humor in the deepest dark. She is a strikingly original and strikingly
talented new voice.' Laura van den Berg, author of Find Me and The Isle of Youth

'We've had nothing to eat since you saw us, nothing whatsoever. Course upon course of nasty
greasy stuff smelling of garlic - a month's ration of meat, yes, but quite raw you know - shame,
really - I wasn't going to touch it, let alone give it to Sigi, poor little mite.' 'Nanny says the
cheese was matured in manure,' Sigi chipped in, eyes like saucers.
It isn't just Nanny who finds it difficult in France when Grace, along with her young son Sigi, is
finally able to join her dashing aristocratic husband Charles-Edouard after the war. For Grace is
out of her depth among the fashionably dressed and immaculately coiffured French women, and
shocked by their relentless gossiping and bedhopping. When she discovers her husband's
tendency to lust after every pretty girl he sees, it looks like trouble. And things get even more
complicated when little Sigi steps in . . .
The Blessing is a hilarious tale of love, fidelity, and the English abroad, tailored as brilliantly as
one of Dior's 'New Look' suits.

Spring 1915, Dublin. Katie Crilly - a young woman trying to find her place in a restrictive
society - gets the news she dreaded: her beloved twin brother, Liam, has been killed on the
Western Front.
A year later, when Dublin is suddenly engulfed by the violence of the Easter Rising, Katie finds
herself torn between her loyalty to the cause her brother died for, her instinctive Irish
patriotism, and her love for her city and its people. Taking refuge in the home of friends, she
meets Hubie Wilson, a comrade of Liam's from the Front. There unfolds a remarkable
encounter between two young people, both wounded and both trying to imagine a new life. As
the world Katie knows is turned upside down by insurrection, previously unimaginable things
suddenly seem possible.

An exquisite new novel from the Pulitzer prize-winning author of Olive Kitteridge.
A mother comes to visit her daughter in hospital after having not seen her in many years. Her
unexpected visit forces Lucy to confront her past, uncovering long-buried memories of a
profoundly impoverished childhood; and her present, as the façade of her new life in New York
begins to crumble, awakening her to the reality of her faltering marriage and her unsteady
journey towards becoming a writer.
From Lucy's hospital bed, we are drawn ever more deeply into the emotional complexity of
family life, the inescapable power of the past, and the memories - however painful - that bind a
family together. My Name Is Lucy Barton is a tender expression of the meaning of familial love
from one of America's finest writers.

In 1895, the height of the Gilded Age, the social elite spend their summers in Newport, Rhode
Island. Within the walls of their fabulous 'cottages,' competition for superiority is ruthless . . .
and so are the players.
During her first Newport season, Deanna Randolph attends a ball given in honor of Lord David

But on the nearby cliffs, a young maid lies dead—and suspicion falls on Joseph Ballard, a
member of one of the town's most prestigious families.
Joe humiliated Deanna when he rebuffed an engagement to her, but while he may be a cad, she

Renata Ghali believed in Lee Suh-Mi's vision of a world far beyond Earth, calling to humanity.
A planet promising to reveal the truth about our place in the cosmos, untainted by
overpopulation, pollution, and war. Ren believed in that vision enough to give up everything to
follow Suh-Mi into the unknown.
More than twenty-two years have passed since Ren and the rest of the faithful braved the starry
abyss and established a colony at the base of an enigmatic alien structure where Suh-Mi has
since resided, alone. All that time, Ren has worked hard as the colony's 3-D printer engineer,
creating the tools necessary for human survival in an alien environment, and harboring a
devastating secret.
Ren continues to perpetuate the lie forming the foundation of the colony for the good of her
fellow colonists, despite the personal cost. Then a stranger appears, far too young to have been
part of the first planetfall, a man who bears a remarkable resemblance to Suh-Mi.
The truth Ren has concealed since planetfall can no longer be hidden. And its revelation might
tear the colony apart . . .

In a warren of crumbling buildings and desperate people called the Old City, there stands a
hospital with cinderblock walls which echo the screams of the poor souls inside.
In the hospital, there is a woman. Her hair, once blond, hangs in tangles down her back. She
doesn't remember why she's in such a terrible place. Just a tea party long ago, and long ears,
and blood . . .
Then, one night, a fire at the hospital gives the woman a chance to escape, tumbling out of the
hole that imprisoned her, leaving her free to uncover the truth about what happened to her all
those years ago.
Only something else has escaped with her. Something dark. Something powerful.
And to find the truth, she will have to track this beast to the very heart of the Old City, where
the rabbit waits for his Alice.

From the bestselling authors of Last Hit comes the next in the steamy series that explores the
exquisite power of our darkest passions . . .
Regan: I never really knew what misery was until the day I was kidnapped and sold for being
in the wrong place at the wrong time. Two months later, I'm at a brothel in Rio when I meet
Daniel Hays. He says he's here to save me, but can I trust him? All I know of him are his
sarcastic retorts and his tendency to solve every dispute with his gun. He's also the only safe
thing in my world, and I know it's wrong to fall in love with him, but I can't seem to help
myself. He says he'll protect me until his last breath, but I don't know if I should believe him or
even if I can.
Daniel: For the last eighteen months, one goal has dictated every action I've taken. I've left the
Army, turned paid hit man, and befriended criminals all across the globe to find my kidnapped
sister. In every brothel I raid and every human trafficking truck I stop, I hope the next face I
find is my sister's. In a hidden brothel in Rio, I find Regan Porter, bruised but not broken, and
still sane despite her weeks in captivity. I should leave her behind or send her home, because
the last thing either of us needs right now is to get involved. But with every passing minute, I
find I'm less able to let her go.

most dangerous edge of desire . . .
Nikolai: I have been a contract killer since I was a boy. For years I savored the fear caused by
my name, the trembling at the sight of my tattoos. The stars on my knees, the marks on my
fingers, the dagger in my neck, all spoke of danger. If you saw my eyes, it was the last vision
you'd have. I have ever been the hunter, never the prey. With her, I am the mark and I am ready
to lie down and let her capture me. Opening my small, scarred heart to her brings out my
enemies. I will carry out one last hit, but if they hurt her, I will bring the world down around
their ears.
Daisy: I've been sheltered from the outside world all my life. Home-schooled and farm-raised,
I'm so naive that my best friend calls me Pollyanna. I like to believe the best about people.
Nikolai is part of this new life, and he's terrifying to me. Not because his eyes are cold or my
friend warns me away from him, but because he's the only man who has ever seen the real me
beneath the awkwardness. With him, my heart is at risk . . . and also, my life.

In the explosive new Hitman novel from the bestselling authors of Last Kiss and Last Hit
a jungle mercenary and a female target find love on the run . . .
Mendoza: I grew up in the slums and lost everything I loved to poverty, illness, and death. I
had only one skill to leverage myself out of my circumstances—violence. Being hired out as a
mercenary hitman brought me money and built an empire. But all that I've fought for is in
jeopardy. My next job: Steal secret information that could bring down world governments. Find
my target. Destroy it. But then, I meet her.
Ava: Karma hates me. When my best friend Rose is kidnapped, I have no choice but to take a
job as a mule for a pair of criminals intent on selling top-secret information to the highest
bidder. I should have known that bad luck tends to cling, because the plane I'm on goes down.
That I survived a crash-landing was a miracle. And so was being rescued by Rafe Mendoza—
hot, sexy, dangerous. The thing is, he wants the information that I need to free Rose. I can't let
him have it, but I need his help. And I need to fight this crazy attraction for this mercenary with
hungry eyes. Rose is depending on me, and I won't let her down, no matter how appealing Rafe
is.

From the bestselling authors of Last Hit and Last Breath comes the next dark and sensual tale in
the Hitman series that crosses the line between danger and desire . . .
Naomi: When I was kidnapped I thought only of survival. I don't thrive well in chaos. That's
why I gave my captors exactly what they wanted: my skill with computers. Making millions for
a crime lord who kept me imprisoned in his basement compound kept my family safe. When he
was taken out, I thought my ticket to freedom had arrived. Wrong. I traded one keeper for
another. This time I'm in the hands of a scarred, dark, demanding Russian who happens to be
the head of the Bratva, a Russian crime organization. He wants my brain and my body. I'd be
lying if I said I wasn't intrigued, but I can't be a prisoner forever…no matter how good he
makes me feel.
Vasily: At a young age, I was taught that a man without power is a puppet for all. I've clawed—
and killed—my way to the top so that it is my heel on their necks. But to unify the fractured
organization into an undefeatable machine, I need a technological genius to help me steal one
particular artifact. That she is breathtaking, determined, and vulnerable is making her more
dangerous than all of my enemies combined. But only I can keep her safe from the world that
she now inhabits. Soon, I must choose between Naomi and Bratva law. But with every day that
passes, this becomes a more impossible choice.

Is she strong enough to trust the most dangerous man she's ever met? And is he strong enough
to let her?
How would I describe myself? Well, I'm Muse Harper. I'm a twenty-something painter who
loves red wine, quirky movies, and men with a fatal flaw. But that was before I met Jasper
King. He became my fatal flaw. Eight months ago, I had a choice to make—abandon
everything I've ever known to protect my family, or stay and risk someone getting hurt. I chose
the former. My plan was working just fine until I found out my father had gone missing.
That's when I met Jasper. A bounty hunter with the eyes of a tiger and the nose of a
bloodhound, he was supposed to help me find my father. What I didn't know was that meeting
him was no accident. Hunting people isn't all that Jasper does. And helping me was only part of
his plan. I just wish I'd found out sooner, before my heart got involved. But even then, I don't
know if I'd have done things differently.
Now, I have another choice to make—trust the man that I'm falling in love with and hope that
he'll do the right thing, or run as far away from him as I can get.

He's a fighter who never loses, but is he tough enough to win her heart?
There was a time when I had everything–a wonderful family, a bright future. Love. But all that
was taken away in a single night, torn from me like flesh from bone. Since then, I've hidden
away in my second-choice job as a makeup artist. But I prefer it that way, actually. I'm
comfortable in the shadows, where no one can see my scars.
Kiefer Rogan literally took my breath away the moment I met him. MMA champion-turnedactor, notorious playboy, charming to a fault—he's everything I vowed to avoid.
But he just wouldn't stop until I opened up and let him in. Maybe I should've tried harder to
resist him. Maybe I shouldn't have fallen in love with him. Because I, of all people, know that
everyone has secrets. Scars. And that they're usually ugly and painful and destructive to the
people we love most.
I just never guessed that they could be deadly, too.

The first novel in the explosive new Southern Shield series from New York Times bestselling
author Angela Knight explores the intoxicating games between a female cop and a Navy
SEAL—and the killer instincts of a secret enemy watching every move they make.
Atlanta deputy Alexis Rogers and Navy SEAL Frank Murphy know all about power and
restraint, necessary force, and pushing their limits. When they meet in the darkness of a BDSM
club, their skills are put to use. With each successive night comes a new adrenaline rush, and
while they're falling into something perilously close to love, their games are still too private, too
extreme, and too daring ever to be exposed.
But their intimate lives are upended when a fellow deputy of Alex's is killed. It's not a tragic
hazard of the job. It's cold-blooded murder. And he's not the last to be taken out. Now Alex and
Frank have found themselves more vulnerable than ever—and exposed to a killer with a twisted
vendetta who turns desire into the most dangerous sensation of all.

Arden MacCarren can't afford to lose control. Her family's investment house has failed, their
professional reputation is all but destroyed, and it's up to Arden to hold the line. The only
distraction she allows herself is a weekly drawing class where she can forget everything. Then
she meets Seth Malone. When he poses in her class, strong, mysterious, and unbearably sexy,
she can't resist him. The only thing she can do is keep it purely physical—no emotions, no
strings, and definitely no telling.
Seth understands responsibilities, both Arden's and his own. During his last tour as a Marine he
lost his best friends to an IED. He has a duty to look after his buddies' survivors. All he allows
himself is the stolen moments with Arden. But as he's drawn into Arden's battle with her

ignore and the longing to inspire Arden's every desire—mind, soul, and body . . .

Cook for Your Life: Delicious, Nourishing Recipes for Before,
During, and After Cancer Treatment

Cook for Your Life is a one-of-a-kind cookbook for those whose lives are touched by cancer,
organized by the patient's needs.
Self-taught home cook and two-time cancer survivor Ann Ogden Gaffney discovered during
her months of treatment for breast cancer that she was able to find powerful relief for her
symptoms through cooking. Realizing that other patients and families could benefit from the
skills and techniques she'd learned, she began to offer advice, recipes, and free classes to fellow
patients.
A former fashion consultant, Gaffney realized after her treatment that her heart was no longer
in seasonal colors and hemline trends. Instead, she wanted to help people with cancer and their
families cook and care for themselves. In 2007,the nonprofit organization Cook for Your Life
was born. Its programs have received funding from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and
have been embraced by organizations such as Columbia University's Mailman School of Public
Health, Mount Sinai Health System, Atlantic Health System Cancer Care, the American Cancer
Society's Hope Lodge in New York City, and more. Cook for Your Life has touched hundreds
of thousands of lives. Now Gaffney delivers her very first highly anticipated cookbook, based
on Cook for Your Life's classes.
So many cancer cookbooks are too complicated to follow for someone going through the
treatment, or too clinical and uninspired to encourage anyone with compromised taste buds to
enjoy. This is the first cookbook to organize the recipes into categories according to the way
patients feel and their needs in the moment—for example, 'Simple' recipes when the patient is
fatigued, 'Safe' recipes when a patient's immune system is compromised, and 'Spicy' recipes
when a patient is feeling better and needs to wake up her taste buds.
With its warmth, authority, beautiful design, and smartly conceived format, Cook for Your
Life empowers patients and families to cook their way back to health.
'Cook For Your Life was a safe haven of information and delicious recipes for me and my
family following my diagnosis of leukemia at age 22. There are many things that lie outside of
your control when you're diagnosed with cancer, but Cook For Your Life taught me how to take
charge of my health in the kitchen.' Suleika Jaouad, New York Times columnist of 'Life
Interrupted'
'Cook for Your Life and Ann Ogden's work inspire me. She teaches a greatly needed skill for
patients and families affected by cancer – how to nourish and heal the body with food.' Dr.

'You are lovely . . . And all your letters, too, are lovely, like the white nights'
Nabokov's passion for his wife spanned over half a century, from the first poem he wrote for
her in 1923, after only hours in her company, to when he dedicated his last book 'To Véra'.
Though they were rarely apart, he wrote countless letters to Véra, now published for the first
time and revealing in Nabokov the man what he valued most in art: 'curiosity, tenderness,
kindness, ecstasy'.

On the morning of August 29, 2005, Hurricane Katrina barreled into New Orleans, devastating
many of the city's neighborhoods, including Pontchartrain Park, the home of Wendell Pierce's
family and the first African American middle-class subdivision in New Orleans. The hurricane
breached many of the city's levees, and the resulting flooding submerged Pontchartrain Park
under as much as 20 feet of water. Katrina left New Orleans later that day, but for the next three
days the water kept relentlessly gushing into the city, plunging eighty percent of New Orleans
under water. Nearly 1,500 people were killed. Half the houses in the city had four feet of water
in them—or more. There was no electricity or clean water in the city; looting and the
breakdown of civil order soon followed. Tens of thousands of New Orleanians were stranded in
the city, with no way out; many more evacuees were displaced, with no way back in.
Pierce and his family were some of the lucky ones: They survived and were able to ride out the
storm at a relative's house 70 miles away. When they were finally allowed to return, they found
their family home in tatters, their neighborhood decimated. Heartbroken but resilient, Pierce
vowed to help rebuild, and not just his family's home, but all of Pontchartrain Park.
In this powerful and redemptive narrative, Pierce brings together the stories of his family, his
city, and his history, why they are all worth saving and the critical importance art played in
reuniting and revitalizing this unique American city.
'Wendell Pierce's uplifting memoir The Wind in the Reeds explores the transformative role
theater played in healing New Orleans post-Katrina.' O Magazine
'The Wind in the Reeds tells of his deep roots in the city, the catastrophe of Katrina, and his
experience acting in David Simon's celebrated series. The center of the book is his intertwined
effort to put on Samuel Beckett's 'Waiting for Godot' in post-Katrina New Orleans and to help
bring back his old neighborhood.' Salon
'A must-read for fans of the two HBO television series that helped make the New Orleans-born
actor a star . . . The Wind in the Reeds is Pierce's passionate, politically critical musing on the
life-altering decade since Hurricane Katrina and the 2005 floods.' New Orleans TimesPicayune
'Part memoir, part history lesson, the book takes readers through Pierce's own connection to the
city and his 'role of a lifetime' in the HBO series Treme. He spoke by phone about his book, the
power of art and the process of rebuilding his hometown.' LA Times

Before there was Maureen Dowd or Gail Collins or Molly Ivins, there was Mary McGrory. She
was a trailblazing columnist who achieved national syndication and reported from the front
lines of American politics for five decades. From her first assignment reporting on the Army–
McCarthy hearings to her Pulitzer-winning coverage of Watergate and controversial
observations of President Bush after September 11, McGrory humanized the players on the
great national stage while establishing herself as a uniquely influential voice. Behind the scenes
she flirted, drank, cajoled, and jousted with the most important figures in American life,
breaking all the rules in the journalism textbook. Her writing was admired and feared by such
notables as Lyndon Johnson (who also tried to seduce her) and her friend Bobby Kennedy who
observed, 'Mary is so gentle—until she gets behind a typewriter.' Her soirees, filled with
Supreme Court justices, senators, interns, and copy boys alike, were legendary.
As the red-hot center of the Beltway in a time when the newsrooms were dominated by men,
McGrory makes for a powerfully engrossing subject. Laced with juicy gossip and McGrory's
own acerbic wit, John Norris's colorful biography reads like an insider's view of latter-day
American history—and one of its most enduring characters.
'Mary McGrory: The First Queen of Journalism will scratch every nostalgic itch with inkstained fingers. McGrory's five-decade career covering Washington provides an enormous
picture window onto the media landscape, and Norris . . . focuses much of his attention on the
glamour of the era . . . You may find yourself beguiled by [McGrory] as well. I realized I was
under her spell at the end of the book.' New York Times Book Review
'Any person of spirit, who loves good writing, will almost feel, after reading this book, that he
or she did have a chance to dance the rumba toward dawn with Mary McGrory.' Roy Blount
Jr.
'Mary McGrory's life as a Pulitzer Prize-winning Washington columnist is so interesting that it's
hard to understand why there hasn't been a book about her until now. Enter Norris . . . with this
balanced, page-turning biography . . . Ted Kennedy proclaimed [McGrory] 'poet laureate of
American journalism,' and this nuanced portrait provides plenty of evidence.' Kirkus (starred
review)
'Norris portrays a talented and complex woman . . . Those interested in recent political history
will relish the fascinating insider details.' Library Journal
'A dame, a babe, a wit, a raconteur, McGrory was the ultimate journalist: interested, interesting,
discerning, dedicated. Her curiosity and charm, intelligence and integrity were nonpareil and
earned her coveted insider access to the most important events and people of the last half of the
twentieth century. She laid the groundwork for generations of journalists of both genders for
decades to come. Few biographies are page-turners, but Norris's vivid account of this
pioneering writer so vibrantly recalls the heady heyday of op-ed journalism that readers will
avidly mourn the advent of the 24/7 cable and talk radio punditry that took its place. McGrory
was an icon of wit and wisdom; we will not see her like again.' Booklist (starred review)
'Sensitive and engrossing . . . [this] book is a rich portrait, and will likely encourage readers to
seek more of McGrory's groundbreaking writing.' Publishers Weekly
'Norris . . . earns his reader's respect with careful attention to detail and a precarious but precise
balance between his primary, individual subject and the context of U.S. and world
history. Mary McGrory is a striking story, meticulously and entertainingly portrayed.' Shelf
Awareness
'Intimate, gossipy, and laced with delicious anecdotes . . . wonderfully evokes the glorious
dishevelment and camaraderie of both the mid-century newsroom and the campaign trail . . . As

a lovely portrait of one of its most distinctive characters.' Columbia Journalism Review
Such Troops as These: The Genius and Leadership of Confederate

The Civil War pitted the industrial North against the agricultural South, and remains one of the
most catastrophic conflicts in American history. With triple the population and eleven times the
industry, the Union had a decided advantage over the Confederacy. But one general had a
vision that could win the War for the South—Thomas J. 'Stonewall' Jackson.
Jackson believed invading the eastern states from Baltimore to Maine could divide and cripple
the Union, forcing surrender, but failed to convince Confederate president Jefferson Davis or
General Robert E. Lee.
In Such Troops as These, Bevin Alexander presents a compelling case for Jackson as the
greatest general in American history. Fiercely dedicated to the cause of Southern independence,
Jackson would not live to see the end of the War. But his military legacy lives on and finds
fitting tribute in this book.
'In his superb new book, Bevin Alexander continues to demonstrate the breadth of his historical
knowledge, the keenness of his insight and his outstanding capacity to write a compelling and
engaging narrative. This is the best book on Stonewall Jackson's unique military genius and
unmatched leadership published in many years. Alexander cuts through a century and a half of
mythmaking about the Confederate high command to reveal not only Jackson's true genius, but
to also expose the failures of Robert E. Lee and Jefferson Davis that cost the South any chance
of victory.' Colonel Jerry D. Morelock, PhD, U.S. Army, ret., Editor in Chief, Armchair

Believer: My Forty Years in Politics
Axelrod, David
$50.00 (B+ 210x138mm Demy 8vo) Penguin Press 416pp
1 March 2016 9780143128359 Carton Qty: 24
David Axelrod has always been a believer. Whether as a young journalist investigating city
corruption, a campaign consultant guiding underdog candidates against entrenched orthodoxy,
or as senior adviser to the president during one of the worst crises in American history, Axelrod
held fast to his faith in the power of stories to unite diverse communities and ignite
transformative political change. Now this legendary strategist, the mastermind behind Barack
Obama's historic election campaigns, shares a wealth of stories from his forty-year journey
through the inner workings of American democracy. Believer is the tale of a political life well
lived, of a man who never gave up on the deepest promises our country has to offer.
Believer reveals the roots of Axelrod's devotion to politics and his faith in democratic change.
As a child of the '60s in New York City, Axelrod worked his first campaigns during a
tumultuous decade that began with soaring optimism and ended in violence and chaos. As a
young newspaperman in Chicago during the 1970s and '80s, Axelrod witnessed another world
transformed when he reported on the dissolution of the last of the big city political machines—
Richard Daley, Dan Rostenkowski, and Harold Washington—along with the emergence of a
dynamic black independent movement that ultimately made Obama's ascent possible.
After cutting his teeth in the rollicking world of Chicago journalism, Axelrod switched careers
to become a political strategist. His unorthodox tactics during his first campaign helped him get
Paul Simon unexpectedly elected to the Senate, and soon Axelrod's counsel was sought by the
greatest lights of the Democratic Party. Working for path breakers like Hillary Clinton, Deval
Patrick, and Rahm Emanuel—and morally conflicted characters like Rod Blagojevich and John
Edwards—Axelrod, for better and worse, redefined the techniques by which modern political
campaigns are run.
The heart of Believer is Axelrod's twenty-year friendship with Barack Obama, a warm
partnership that inspired both men even as it propelled each to great heights. Taking a chance
on an unlikely candidate for the U.S. Senate, Axelrod ultimately collaborated closely with
Obama on his political campaigns, and served as the invaluable strategist who contributed to
the tremendous victories of 2008 and 2012. Switching careers again, Axelrod served as senior
adviser to the president during one of the most challenging periods in national history: working
at Obama's side as he battled an economic disaster; navigated America through two wars; and
fought to reform health care, the financial sector, and our gridlocked political institutions.
In Believer, Axelrod offers a deeper and richer profile of this extraordinary figure—who in just
four years vaulted from the Illinois State Senate to the Oval Office—from the perspective of
one who was at his side every step of the way.
Spanning forty years that include corruption and transformation, turmoil and
progress, Believer takes readers behind the closed doors of politics even as it offers a thrilling
call to democratic action. Axelrod's Believer is a powerful and inspiring memoir enlivened by
the charm and candor of one of the greatest political strategists in recent American history.
'A stout defense–indeed, the best I have read–of the Obama years.' New York Times Book
Review
'Beautifully written with warmth, humor, and remarkable self-awareness, Believer is one of the
finest political memoirs I have ever read.' Doris Kearns Goodwin, author of The Bully

Dr. Jan Pol is not your typical veterinarian. Born and raised the Netherlands on a dairy farm, he
is the star of Nat Geo Wild's hit show The Incredible Dr. Pol and has been treating animals in
rural Michigan since the 1970s. Dr. Pol's more than 20,000 patients have ranged from white
mice to 2600-pound horses and everything in between.
From the time he was twelve years old and helped deliver a litter of piglets on his family's farm
to the incredible moments captured on his hit TV show, Dr. Pol has amassed a wealth of stories
of what it's like caring for this menagerie of animals. He shares his own story of growing up
surrounded by animals, training to be a vet in the Netherlands, and moving to Michigan to open
his first practice in a pre fab house. He has established himself as an empathetic yet nononsense vet who isn't afraid to make the difficult decisions in order to do what's best for his
patients—and their hard-working owners. A sick pet can bring heartache, but a sick cow or
horse could threaten the very livelihood of a farmer whose modest profits are dependent on
healthy livestock.
Reminiscent of the classic books of James Herriot, Never Turn Your Back on an Angus Cow is
a charming, fascinating, and funny memoir that will delight animal lovers everywhere.

When Julene Bair inherits part of a large farm on the High Plains of Kansas, she intends to
honor her father's commandment, 'Hang on to your land!' But she learns some troubling facts

Ward, a rancher who she hopes will become her partner in seeking a path to save her legacy.
The Ogallala Road eloquently interweaves pressing issues of environmental degradation with a
deeply personal story of love and family. Bair's moving memoir, capturing her unfolding love
affair and search for a new way to farm, powerfully updates the literature of the American
West.

Shortcut: How Analogies Reveal Connections, Spark Innovation,
and Sell Our Greatest Ideas

From the meatpacking plants that inspired Henry Ford's first moving assembly line to the
domino theory that led America into Vietnam to the 'bicycle for the mind' that Steve Jobs
envisioned as the Macintosh computer, analogies have played a dynamic role in shaping the
world around us—and still do today.
Analogies are far more complex than their SAT stereotype and lie at the very core of human
cognition and creativity. Once we become aware of this, we start seeing them everywhere—in
ads, apps, political debates, legal arguments, logos, and euphemisms, to name just a few. At
their very best, analogies inspire new ways of thinking, enable invention, and motivate people
to action. Unfortunately, not every analogy that rings true istrue. That's why, at their worst,
analogies can deceive, manipulate, or mislead us into disaster. The challenge? Spotting the
difference before it's too late.
Rich with engaging stories, surprising examples, and a practical method to evaluate the truth or
effectiveness of any analogy, Shortcut will improve critical thinking, enhance creativity, and
offer readers a fresh approach to resolving some of today's most intractable challenges.
Praise for Shortcut:
'John Pollack is the William Safire of his generation. In Shortcut, he blends his encyclopedic
knowledge, hard-earned experience in politics, and deep love of words to craft a book that
consistently rewards the reader with keen insights into the wonders of how language shapes our
thinking.' Jake Siewert, global head of communications for Goldman Sachs
'As a historian, I have been professionally trained not to use analogies. But as John Pollack
demonstrates in this eye-opening, mind-blowing, puzzle-solving book, comparisons and
analogies infuse our thinking, infect our decisions, and inflect our efforts at persuasion. Once
you lower your guard to Pollack's clever forays, you will never undervalue the power of
analogical reasoning again—or ignore the risks of using comparisons too sloppily.' Jack
Rakove, professor of history and political science at Stanford University, winner of the
Pulitzer Prize
'In the battle for public opinion, the best analogy usually wins. Shortcut shows us how—and
why. It makes you think before you speak, literally. This is a great book, particularly for people
who care about communicating effectively.' Loretta Ucelli, White House Communications
Director for President Bill Clinton
'Like a hot knife through warm butter, Pollack's clean prose cuts to the heart of the matter: We
communicate, think, learn, and discover through analogies. Filled with captivating and
entertaining examples, from falling apples to toppling dominos, the book teaches us how to best
use analogies to win hearts, convince minds, and just have fun. Sure to float your boat.'
Scott Page, director of the Center for the Study of Complex Systems at the University of

Edward VII: Penguin Monarchs: The Cosmopolitan King
Davenport-Hines, Richard

1 March 2016 9780241014806 Carton
Qty: 1
Like his mother Queen Victoria, Edward VII gave his name to an era. Both reflected the
personalities of their central figures: hers insular and stiff; his attuned to the need for royal
performances in public, European-minded, pleasure-loving, money-conscious and worldly.
This highly entertaining book by celebrated biographer and social historian Richard DavenportHines conveys Edward's distinct personality and significant influences throughout his life.
Brought up in strict isolation, 'Bertie' rebelled as a young man, to the despair of his parents,
conducting many affairs, indulging his love of food, gambling and hunting and living a life of
pleasure. But he was also a pioneering philanthropist, travelled widely and made a valuable
contribution to European diplomacy. He also turned London into the leading royal capital of
Europe, with opulent shops, and laidout the Mall and Admiralty Arch, which would become the
main stage for royal public events in the twentieth century.
Richard Davenport-Hines's Edward VII is as pleasurable as its subject and the age of glamour
and leisure, social reform and social brilliance, that Edward made.

Only a generation or two ago, illegitimacy was one of the most shameful things that could
happen in a family. Unmarried mothers were considered immoral, single fathers feckless and
bastard children inherently defective. They were hidden away from friends and relations as
guilty secrets, punished by society and denied their place in the family tree.
Today, the concept of illegitimacy no longer exists in law, and babies' parents are as likely to be
unmarried as married. This revolution in public opinion makes it easy to forget what it was
really like to give birth, or be born, out of wedlock in the years between World War One and
the dawn of the Permissive Age. By speaking to those involved - many of whom have never felt
able to talk about their experiences before - Jane Robinson reveals a story not only of shame
and appalling prejudice, but also of triumph and the every-day strength of the human spirit.
In the Family Way tells secrets kept for entire lifetimes and rescues from the shadows an
important part of all our family histories. In it we hear long-silent voices from the workhouse,
the Magdalene Laundry or the distant mother-and-baby home. Anonymous childhoods are
recalled, spent in the care of Dr Barnardo or a Child Migration scheme halfway across the
world.
There are sorrowful stories in this book, but it is also about hope: about supportive families who
defied social expectations by welcoming 'love-children' home, or those who were parted and are
now reconciled. Most of all, In the Family Way is about finally telling the truth.
Combat-Ready Kitchen: How the U.S. Military Shapes the Way

In a nondescript Boston suburb, in a handful of low buildings buffered by trees and a lake, a
group of men and women spend their days researching, testing, tasting, and producing the foods
that form the bedrock of the American diet. If you stumbled into the facility, you might think
the technicians dressed in lab coats and the shiny kitchen equipment belonged to one of
the giant food conglomerates responsible for your favorite brand of frozen pizza or
microwavable breakfast burritos. So you'd be surprised to learn that you've just entered the U.S.
Army Natick Soldier Systems Center, ground zero for the processed food industry.
Ever since Napoleon, armies have sought better ways to preserve, store, and transport food for
battle. As part of this quest, although most people don't realize it, the U.S. military spearheaded
the invention of energy bars, restructured meat, extended-life bread, instant coffee, and much
more. But there's been an insidious mission creep: because the military enlisted industry—huge
corporations such as ADM, ConAgra, General Mills, Hershey, Hormel, Mars,
Nabisco, Reynolds, Smithfield, Swift, Tyson, and Unilever—to help develop and manufacture
food for soldiers on the front line, over the years combat rations, or the key technologies used in
engineering them, have ended up dominating grocery store shelves and refrigerator cases. TV
dinners, the cheese powder in snack foods, cling wrap . . . The list is almost endless.
Now food writer Anastacia Marx de Salcedo scrutinizes the world of processed food and its
long relationship with the military—unveiling the twists, turns, successes, failures, and products
that have found their way from the armed forces' and contractors' laboratories into our kitchens.
In developing these rations, the army was looking for some of the very same qualities as we do
in our hectic, fast-paced twenty-first-century lives: portability, ease of preparation, extended
shelf life at room temperature, affordability, and appeal to even the least adventurous eaters. In
other words, the military has us chowing down like special ops.
What is the effect of such a diet, eaten—as it is by soldiers and most consumers—day in and
day out, year after year? We don't really know. We're the guinea pigs in a giant public health
experiment, one in which science and technology, at the beck and call of the military, have
taken over our kitchens.
'A well-researched effort that will undoubtedly add to general readers' knowledge about the
food they consume on a daily basis.' Kirkus Reviews
'Combat-Ready Kitchen reveals in abundant detail how military necessity has spawned foodtechnological invention and many of the processed foods that crowd our supermarket and
kitchen shelves.' Harold McGee, author of On Food & Cooking and Keys to Good Cooking
'A fascinating book that will make us reconsider the origins of modern industrial food. Who
could have guessed that so many of our common conveniences were first developed for war?
This book will make an enormous impact in the field of food history.' Ken Albala, director of
food studies, University of the Pacific
'This is an excellent book on an important subject that readers will find fascinating for its
relevance to their everyday lives and health. It also makes an important contribution to military
history with its analysis of field rations from antiquity to the present. With Combat-Ready
Kitchen, which is well written in an enjoyable style and exhaustively researched, Marx de
Salcedo has done the American public a great service in bringing this important subject to our
attention. Highly recommended.' Richard A. Gabriel, historian; author of The Madness of
Alexander the Great: And the Myth of Military Genius
In a Different Key: The Story of Autism

Donald Triplett was born eighty-two years ago in Forest, Mississippi, and would become the
first child ever to be diagnosed with autism - after years of patient determination by his parents,
and the work of one extraordinary clinician who solved the puzzle of his mysterious condition.
In this profoundly humane and beautifully rendered history, John Donvan and Caren Zucker tell
the whole story of autism - from the small Mississippi town where Donald still lives today to
the classrooms, laboratories, and courts where essential questions concerning autism have been
battled over. The history of autism is, above all, the story of families fighting for a place in the
world for their children: women like Ruth Sullivan, who rebelled against a medical
establishment that blamed mothers for causing autism, fathers who pushed scientists to dig
harder for treatments, and parents who forced schools to accept their children. But many others
played starring roles too: doctors like Leo Kanner, who pioneered our understanding of autism,
and those with autism, like Temple Grandin and Ari Ne'eman, who explained their inner worlds
and championed a philosophy of 'neurodiversity'.
At the same time, this is also a history of competing theories. This book delves into some of the
most contentious debates that have divided the autism community, among them the question of
whether vaccines cause autism; which therapies are backed by science and which by wishful
thinking; how we measure the prevalence of autism - today said to be 1 in 68 - and whether it is
overstated; and whether autism should be 'cured' or accommodated.
By turns intimate and panoramic, In a Different Key takes us on a journey from an era when
families were shamed and children were condemned to institutions, to one in which parents and
people with autism push not simply for inclusion, but for a new understanding of autism: as
difference rather than disability.

1 March 2016 9780143128007 Carton Qty: 40
In this devastating book, Erwin Chemerinsky—'one of the shining lights of legal academia'
(The New York Times)—shows how, case by case, for over two centuries, the hallowed Court
has been far more likely to uphold government abuses of power than to stop them. Drawing on
a wealth of rulings, some famous, others little known, he reviews the Supreme Court's historic
failures in key areas, including the refusal to protect minorities, the upholding of gender
discrimination, and the neglect of the Constitution in times of crisis, from World War I through
9/11.
No one is better suited to make this case than Chemerinsky. He has studied, taught, and
practiced constitutional law for thirty years and has argued before the Supreme Court. With
passion and eloquence, Chemerinsky advocates reforms that could make the system work
better, and he challenges us to think more critically about the nature of the Court and the
fallible men and women who sit on it.

Michael Ellsberg and Bryan Franklin think you've been fed a lie: that if you save for decades
and invest in 401(k)s, IRAs, and a home, these investments will grow steadily over decades,
allowing twenty to thirty years of secure, peaceful retirement.
This might have been true at some point in the last century, but it is not true any longer. If you
want to get ahead and enjoy a life of prosperity, the authors argue that you must invest in the
most powerful source of wealth you'll ever know: your own earning power.
Ellsberg and Franklin reveal how investing in yourself in various ways can guarantee a return
much higher than the stock market or real estate. Boosting your skills, leadership, persuasion
ability, and your network enriches the quality and meaning of your life at the same time that it
enriches your wallet. Why wouldn't you bet on yourself?
'Franklin and Ellsberg have laid out the first viable life and investment plan that can truly work
for everyone. Jam packed with insights and wisdom it normally takes decades to

Every month our financial statements arrive, and every month we glance at them, trying to
understand, hoping that we'll come out ahead. But most of us have no idea what's really going
on or the costs involved. According to Bobby Monks—who has been a banker and
borrower, investor and entrepreneur—financial firms and money managers have complicated
the investing process to keep us in the dark, profiting from our ignorance.
Having dealt with the financial sector throughout his career, Monks has seen it all.
In Uninvested, he reveals how, when, and why the relationship between us and our money
managers became corrupted—and what we can do to fix it. Monks shows how the
system works not only against us as individuals but also against society at large. Without our
knowledge or approval, our money is diverted into the pockets of CEOs and
misappropriated, promoting business practices that contribute to economic inequality, political
dysfunction, and environmental woe.
Monks' experiences give him a unique perspective on how we got to this point. Drawing on
original research and interviews with key figures such as Vanguard founder Jack Bogle,
legendary investor Carl Icahn, and former congressman Barney Frank of the Dodd-Frank Act,
Monks teaches us how to take back ownership and control of our money. As he writes:
Even in the decades preceding the most recent downturn, very few investors enjoyed financial
success equal to that of their money managers. Given this, I have long wondered why investors
don't pull their money out of the system en masse.
I suspect that it is because most feel powerless. Unaware of the implications of their
investments and unable to penetrate the excruciating complexity of the system that facilitates
them, many seem to seek refuge in their money managers' aura of sophistication, pretense
of competence, and projection of certainty. It seems to me that most investors are simply
sleepwalking through the investing process. They have become uninvested.
When we outsource our investing, we sacrifice control—but not responsibility. My goal in
writing this book is to convince you that the best (and only) way to fix this broken system is to
awaken a critical mass of engaged investors and recruit them to participate more fully in
the investing process.
'If you want to know why Wall Street always seems to make out, even as your investments
never seem to do as well as advertised, you should read Uninvested. It's a revelatory piece of
work.' Helaine Olen, author of Pound Foolish
'Bobby Monks would rouse investors from their slumber, free them from exorbitant fees, and
offer them 'Cooperative Investment Partnerships' to reinvigorate capitalism. Whether or not his
CIP concept succeeds, who can fail to cheer him on?' Andrew Tobias , author of The Only
Investment Guide You'll Ever Need
'Most Americans have surrendered control over their financial futures to investment
professionals who win even when they lose. In this clear, concise, compelling book, Bobby
Monks tells why and how to reclaim power over your money from brokers and mutual fund
managers who put their interests ahead of yours.' Paul Steiger, executive chairman of
ProPublica and former managing editor of The Wall Street Journal
'Uninvested hits the nail right on its head. Unfortunately you and I, as individual investors, are
the nail. Monks points out directly and fairly that financial firms and money managers have
intentionally made investing overly complicated. He provides individual investors with the
ground rules to protect our investments.' James A. Kaplan, manager, Global Governance

The Interstellar Age: The Story of the Men and Women Who Flew

The Voyager spacecraft are our farthest-flung emissaries—11.3 billion miles away from the
crew who built and still operate them, decades since their launch.
Voyager 1 left the solar system in 2012; its sister craft, Voyager 2, will do so in 2015. The
fantastic journey began in 1977, before the first episode of Cosmos aired. The mission was
planned as a grand tour beyond the moon; beyond Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn; and maybe even
into interstellar space. The fact that it actually happened makes this humanity's greatest space
mission.
In The Interstellar Age, award-winning planetary scientist Jim Bell reveals what drove and
continues to drive the members of this extraordinary team, including Ed Stone, Voyager's chief
scientist and the one-time head of NASA's Jet Propulsion Lab; Charley Kohlhase, an orbital
dynamics engineer who helped to design many of the critical slingshot maneuvers around
planets that enabled the Voyagers to travel so far; and the geologist whose Earth-bound
experience would prove of little help in interpreting the strange new landscapes revealed in
theVoyagers' astoundingly clear images of moons and planets.
Speeding through space at a mind-bending eleven miles a second, Voyager 1 is now beyond our
solar system's planets. It carries with it artifacts of human civilization. By the
time Voyager passes its first star in about 40,000 years, the gold record on the spacecraft,
containing various music and images including Chuck Berry's 'Johnny B. Goode,' will still be
playable.
Praise for The Interstellar Age

'Is there any intelligent life out there in the cosmos? And if so, are they into Chuck Berry?

'Part memoir, part anecdotal history and part sermon on the delights of science, The Interstellar
Age is a captivating read.' Nature

Since posting her first makeup tutorial in 2008, Dulce Candy has become one of the top beauty
stars on YouTube, boasting more than 2 million subscribers and garnering hundreds of millions
of views of her bright and energetic videos.
But before she became a style icon and a role model to millions of young women, Dulce
struggled to make her way in the world. Having emigrated with her family from Mexico to the
United States when she was six years old, Dulce battled depression and low self-esteem as a
teenager and eventually enlisted in the army in an attempt to turn her life around. It was here,
on the battlefields of Iraq, that she finally uncovered and embraced her true passion—fashion
and beauty—and gained the confidence to move on from her past, follow her dream, and launch
what would become her wildly successful brand.
The Sweet Life chronicles Dulce Candy's inspiring story, showing that anyone can be successful
no matter their background and sharing the hard-won lessons that helped transform her from a
shy, self-doubting teenager into a confident business woman and beauty expert. According to
Dulce, you can't live the sweet life until you accept who you are—flaws and all—and take
chances—knowing that failure is just a part of learning and fear is a sign that you're trying
something new and exciting.
Drawing on anecdotes from her own life and career, Dulce offers advice on building a personal
brand ('Know what makes you different'), building confidence ('Fake it till you make it') and
balancing the personal and the professional ('Don't settle when you settle down'). She also
emphasizes the importance of both inner and outer beauty, encouraging women to love
themselves, ignore the critics, and flaunt their own original style.
Part memoir, part manifesto, The Sweet Life is a fun, inspirational guide for any woman who
wants to find success and happiness without compromising who she is.

director, Latina magazine
'Dulce Ruiz uses her own incredible life story as a rally cry to women and girls everywhere to

best friend, but she constantly reminds you of the most important thing of all: to be exactly and
unapologetically who you are. By the end of the book, you're so glad that this fun, inspiring and
powerful woman took her own advice.' Jen Sincero, bestselling author of You Are a Badass:

The Giving Way to Happiness: Stories and Science Behind the LifeChanging Power of Giving

We often focus on how our gifts can help those in need. But the act of giving actually improves
our own lives as well. In The Giving Way to Happiness, Jenny Santi overturns conventional
thinking about what it takes to be happy by revealing how giving to others—whether in the
form of money, expertise, time, or love—has helped people from all walks of life find purpose
and joy. Drawing on the wisdom of great thinkers past and present, as well as cutting-edge
scientific research, Santi makes an eloquent and passionate case that oftentimes the answers to
the problems that haunt us, and the key to the happiness that eludes us, lie in helping those
around us.
This book is filled with inspiring stories told firsthand by Academy Award winner Goldie
Hawn, Noble Peace Prize winner Muhammad Yunus, supermodel Christy Turlington Burns,
Teach for America founder Wendy Kopp, philanthropist Richard Rockefeller, environmentalist
Philippe Cousteau, activist Ric O'Barry, bestselling author Isabel Allende, ALS survivor Augie
Nieto, and many others from all over the world. Despite their diverse backgrounds, they have
all found unexpected happiness and fulfillment through giving. This book tells us not just how
they changed the world but also how their acts changed their very own lives.
In addition, Santi reveals:




How altruism involves far more than suppressing basic selfish urges. Rather, we are
wired to give, as it activates the same pleasure centers of the brain stimulated by food,
sex, and drugs
How helping others—whether by walking a friend through a struggle that you've also
experienced or by supporting a cause to honor a loved one's memory—can be a
healthy way to deal with adversity and process grief
The unexpected reasons why those who 'gave it all up' to make a difference, and who
face the direst situations, are nevertheless some of the happiest, most fulfilled, and
least angst-ridden people you'll ever meet.
Practical, universally applicable lessons on what kind of giving makes people happy
and what doesn't. How do you discover giving that is unique to you and makes you
feel good?
In this inspiring book, Santi turns conventional wisdom upside down about what it takes to be
happy and reveals the surprising reasons that have led so many people to live lives full of
meaning, purpose and happiness.
'The Giving Way to Happiness is full of interesting insights from big-ticket philanthropists and
prominent personalities, but it is also about something bigger: how we can all find happiness
through helping others. If done right, giving may well be the greatest gift you can give
yourself.' Adam Grant, professor, The Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania,
and New York Times-bestselling author of Give and Take
'This thoughtful look at philanthropy honestly examines the self-interest often involved in it and
suggests that a self-focused approach to giving may in fact be entirely appropriate.' Publishers
Weekly
'Well done! A wonderful and timely contribution.' Christy Turlington Burns, founder of
Every Mother Counts
'The Giving Way to Happiness will change the way you approach giving, shifting the focus
from charity to empathy, from a one-way transfer to a mutually beneficial act, from guilt and
obligation to pleasure and happiness. Jenny Santi, through her well-researched, eloquent, and
insightful book, teaches us how we can help ourselves by helping others.' Carl Liederman,
former CEO of One Young World, and founder & CEO of Liedership
