ABE & FIDO
Lincoln’s Love of Animals and the Touching Story of His Favorite Canine
Companion
Matthew Algeo
In early 1861, as he prepared to leave his home in
Springfield, Illinois, to move into the White House,
Abraham Lincoln faced many momentous tasks,
but none he dreaded more than telling his two
youngest sons, Willie and Tad, that the family’s
beloved pet dog, Fido, would not be accompanying
them to Washington. Lincoln, who had adopted
Fido about five years earlier, was afraid the skittish
dog wouldn’t survive the long rail journey, so he
decided to leave the mutt behind with friends in
Springfield.
Fido had been by Lincoln’s side as the prairie
lawyer rose from obscurity to the presidency,
sometimes carrying bundles of letters from the
post office as Lincoln walked the streets of the state
capital. Abe & Fido: Lincoln’s Love of Animals and
the Touching Story of His Favorite Canine Companion tells the story of two friends, an unlikely
War, as well as Lincoln’s sometimes radical views
tandem who each became famous and died pre-
on animal welfare, and how they shaped his life
maturely. The book also explores the everyday life
and his presidency. It’s the story of a master and his
of Springfield in the years leading up to the Civil
dog, living through historic, tumultuous times.

A Coming-of-Age Story

sweeter and stronger than the wine made in France
and Italy. The public didn’t think wine was a drink
for most Americans, only the wealthy.
But within a generation, America would stand
unquestionably at the world vanguard of wine,
reversing centuries of Eurocentrism and dominating the field. This change spawned hundreds of
thousands of jobs and billions in sales. European
vintners found themselves altering centuries-old
recipes and techniques to cater to these newly
ascendant, free-spending tastes. “Oaky” was in;
subtlety was out. The most popular fine wines
worldwide became uniformly big, powerful, and
loud—American, in other words.
Acitelli’s book tells this story. Using primary
sources, including interviews with the major figures in the rise of American fine wine, it traces

The Modern Age of Mexico’s Most Traditional Spirit
Chantal Martineau
“Chantal Martineau has written a compelling
travelogue, tasting guide, business analysis, and
ecological primer that firmly places tequila and
its cousins as worthy spirits beyond cheap college
margarita drunks.” —Mark Pendergrast, author of
Uncommon Grounds
Tequila is one of the fastest growing spirits categories in America, the margarita the country’s most
popular cocktail. But no longer is it only cheap
party fuel—it has become America’s luxury sipping
spirit. How the Gringos Stole Tequila eloquently
traces this extraordinary evolution.

THE MADMAN AND THE ASSASSIN
The Strange Life of Boston Corbett, the Man Who Killed John Wilkes Booth
Scott Martelle
The killing of Booth made Corbett an instant
celebrity who became the object of fascination and
of derision.
Corbett was an English immigrant, a hatter
by trade, who was likely poisoned by mercury. A
devout Christian, he castrated himself so that his
sexual urges would not distract him from serving
God, which he did as a street evangelist and
preacher. He was one of the first volunteers to join
the US Army in the first days of the Civil War, a
path that would in time land him in the notorious
Andersonville prison camp. Eventually released
in a prisoner exchange, he would end up in the
squadron that cornered Booth in Virginia.

PRESTON TUCKER AND HIS BATTLE
TO BUILD THE CAR OF TOMORROW
Steve Lehto
Foreword by Jay Leno
After World War II, the American automobile industry was reeling. Having spent years building weapons, the car companies had not made any cars.
And then, in stepped Preston Tucker. This salesman extraordinaire from Detroit had built race cars
before the war, and had been a defense contractor
during it. Now, gathering a group of brilliant automotive designers, engineers, and promoters, he
announced the building of a revolutionary new car:
the Tucker ’48, the first car in almost a decade to be
built from the ground up. Tucker’s car would include
ingenious advances in design and engineer-ing that
other car companies could not match.
But the Big Three did not take Tucker’s threat
lightly. While Tucker raised money, leased a plant in
Chicago, lined up franchises worldwide, sold millions of shares of stock, and built the first of his cars,
the SEC, headed by a former Detroit man, began
investigating him. Tucker fought on, showing his cars
Steve Lehto has here tackled Tucker’s amazing

ESCAPE POINTS
A Memoir
Michele Weldon
Lacing heartbreak with humor, Michele Weldon provides a potent antidote to the harried
single mom stereotype in Escape Points. Recently
divorced from a handsome but abusive attorney
husband, Weldon relates the challenges and triumphs of the years that followed as she raised
three young sons in the face of cancer, an ambitious career, and the shadow of her ex, who
abandoned responsibility for the boys yet whose
specter-like presence continued to affect their
lives. Weldon faces her fears and failures honestly, guided by a belief in the power of staying
calm, doing one’s best, and asking for help. As she
maneuvers through a complicated life, Weldon
shows that single mothers (and their kids) can
succeed when others—neighbors, family, teachers,
and in this case an incredible wrestling coach—
“I don’t know how Michele Weldon made wres-
step in to fill the void and the remaining parent

THE REMARKABLE RISE OF ELIZA JUMEL
A Story of Marriage and Money in the Early Republic
Margaret A. Oppenheimer
Born Betsy Bowen into grinding poverty, the
woman who became Eliza Jumel was raised in
a brothel, indentured as a servant, and confined
to a workhouse when her mother was in jail. Yet
by the end of her life, “Madame Jumel” was one
of America’s richest women, with servants of her
own, a New York mansion and Saratoga Springs
summer home, a major art collection, and several
hundred acres of land. During her remarkable rise
she acquired a fortune from her first husband—
a French merchant—and almost lost it to her
second—notorious vice president Aaron Burr.
Divorcing Burr amid lurid charges of adultery,
Jumel lived on to the age of 90, astutely managing her property and public persona. After her
death, a titanic battle over Eliza’s estate went all the
way to the United States Supreme Court—twice.
Family members told of a woman who earned the
gratitude of Napoleon I and shone at the courts of
a wife who defrauded her husband and perhaps
Louis XVIII and Charles X. Claimants to her estate
even plotted his death. Eliza Jumel’s real story—so
painted a different picture: of a prostitute, the
unique that it surpasses any invention—has yet to

THE PEOPLE’S PLACE
Soul Food Restaurants and Reminiscences from the Civil Rights Era to Today
Dave Hoekstra
Foreword by Chaka Khan
Photographs by Paul Natkin
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. loved the fried catfish
and lemon pie at Memphis’s Four Way restaurant.
Beloved nonagenarian chef Leah Chase introduced
George W. Bush to baked cheese grits and scolded
Barack Obama for putting Tabasco sauce on her
gumbo at Dooky Chase’s Restaurant. When SNCC
leader Stokely Carmichael asked Ben’s Chili Bowl
owners Ben and Virginia Ali to keep the restaurant
open during the 1968 Washington DC riots, they
obliged, feeding police and student activists alike
as they worked together to quell the violence. Celebrated former Chicago Sun-Times columnist Dave
Hoekstra unearths these stories and hundreds
more as he travels and tastes his way through 20
of America’s best, most historically significant soul
haven for civil rights pioneers; presidents and
food restaurants. Following the “soul food cor-

FERAL CITIES
Adventures with Animals in the Urban Jungle
Tristan Donovan
We tend to think of cities as a realm apart, somehow separate from nature, but nothing could be
further from the truth. In Feral Cities, Tristan Donovan digs below the urban gloss to uncover the
wild creatures that we share our streets and homes
with, and profiles the brave and fascinating people
who try to manage them. Along the way readers
will meet the wall-eating snails that are invading
Miami, the boars that roam Berlin, and the monkey gangs of Cape Town. From feral chickens and
carpet-roaming bugs to coyotes hanging out in
sandwich shops and birds crashing into skyscrapers, Feral Cities takes readers on a journey through
streets and neighborhoods that are far more alive
than we often realize, shows how animals are
adjusting to urban living, and asks what messages
the wildlife in our metropolises have for us.
“Surprising, entertaining, sometimes frightening,
Donovan’s worldwide exploration of urban
wildlife will be enjoyed by all types of readers.”

MONSTER HUNTERS
On the Trail with Ghost Hunters, Bigfooters, Ufologists, and Other Paranormal
Investigators
Tea Krulos
Do ghosts exist? What about the Bigfoot, or Skinwalkers? And how will we ever know? Journalist
Tea Krulos spent over a year travelling nationwide
to meet individuals who have made it their life’s
passion to hunt down evidence of entities that they
believe exist, but that others might shrug off as
nothing more than myths, fairy tales, or overactive
imaginations.
Without taking sides in the debate, Krulos
joins these believers in the field, exploring haunted
houses, trekking through creepy forests, and scanning skies and lakes as they collect data on the
unknown—poltergeists, chupacabras, Skunk Apes
(Bigfoot’s stinky cousins), and West Virginia’s
Mothman. He even attends an attempted exorcism.
Along the way, he meets a diverse cast of characters—true believers, skeptics, and hoaxers, from
the credible to the quirky.
It is hard not to be swept up in the investiga-
ones that make him second-guess his own beliefs.
Yet in the end, he leaves it to the reader to decide:

are these people onto something, or are they tilting

NO TIME FOR TEARS
Coping with Grief in a Busy World
revised and updated second edition
Judy Heath, Psychotherapist (LISW-CP)
Foreword by Bernie Siegel, MD
No Time for Tears is a new kind of guide, rich with
information and real-life stories, to help people
struggling through grief due to the loss of a loved
one, and those who counsel them. Psychotherapist and grief specialist Judy Heath draws on her
experiences in private practice and in her own life,
as well as years of research, to address the misconceptions, myths, and misinformation about grief
that still abound today. “Grief scholarship” is still
commonly rooted in Elisabeth Kubler-Ross’s 1960s
“five stages-of-grief ” theory, she argues, and draws
on recent research to show that there are no exact

KLANDESTINE
How a Klan Lawyer and a Checkbook Journalist Helped James Earl Ray Cover
Up His Crime
Pate McMichael
Unanswered questions surround the assassination
of Martin Luther King Jr., and many still wonder
whether justice was served. After all, only one
man, an escaped convict named James Earl Ray,
was punished for the crime, and he did not seem
to fit the caricature of a hangdog racist thirsty for
blood. Had he been paid by clandestine forces?
After his arrest, Ray forged a partnership with
two very strange bedfellows: a slick lawyer named
Arthur J. Hanes, the de facto “Klonsel” for the
United Klans of America, and journalist William
Bradford Huie, the darling of Look magazine.
Despite polar opposite views on race, Hanes and
Huie found common cause in the world of conspiracy. Together, they thought they could make

YOSHIDA’S DILEMMA
One Man’s Attempt to Stop the Fukushima Disaster
Rob Gilhooly
Yoshida’s Dilemma tells the inside story of the
Fukushima nuclear disaster triggered by the earthquake and tsunami that struck northeastern Japan
on March 11, 2011. It conveys the initial drama
and sheer mayhem that ensued at the Fukushima
Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant after it was rendered
powerless by the natural disasters. It continues
with the heroic efforts of onsite workers, skillfully marshaled by their rebellious leader Masao
Yoshida, who made several decisions—including
ignoring direct orders from superiors and the government—that altered the course of events. The
book also looks at the oft-criticized attempts to
respond to the triple disasters by then-Prime Minister Naoto Kanas well as the culture of cover-ups
by the nuclear facility operator that was routinely
rubber-stamped by the nation’s regulators.
On a broader scale, Yoshida’s Dilemma examines some of the cultural, historical, and political
tioning acceptance of nuclear power, even among
issues that had a major influence on the nuclear
the media. It is a fascinating story, at times chilling
accident, such as the so-called nuclear power vil-
and at times inspiring, with valuable lessons for the
lage that helped create an almost willful, unques-
earth’s energy future.

THE ROUGHEST RIDERS
The Untold Story of the Black Soldiers in the Spanish-American War
Jerome Tuccille
was ensured by a dedicated corps of black soldiers—the so-called Buffalo Soldiers—who fought
by Roosevelt’s side during his legendary campaign.
Roosevelt later admitted that the black troops actually spearheaded his charge and fought gallantly
by his side. Sadly, Roosevelt later succumbed to
the prevailing racism of the period and added that
their performance was due to the superior white
officers under whom the black troops served.
The Roughest Riders takes a closer look at common historical opinion and balances the record.
It is the inspiring story of the first African American soldiers to serve during the post-slavery era,
first in the West and later in Cuba. They fought
heroically and courageously, making Roosevelt’s
campaign a great success that added to the future
president’s legend. But most of all, they demonMany have heard how Teddy Roosevelt and the

SEVENTEEN FATHOMS DEEP
The Saga of the Submarine S-4 Disaster
Joseph A. Williams
The rescue divers could hear the crew tapping out
a message in Morse code: “Is there any hope?”
After being accidentally rammed by the Coast
Guard destroyer USS Paulding on December 17,
1927, the USS S-4 submarine sank to the ocean
floor off Cape Cod with all forty crew aboard. Only
six sailors in the forward torpedo room survived
the initial accident, trapped in the compartment
with oxygen running out.
Author and naval historian Joseph A. Williams
has delved into never-revealed archival sources to
tell the compelling narrative of the S-4 disaster, the
first modern submarine tragedy. As navy deep-sea
divers struggled to rescue the imprisoned men, a
winter storm raged at the surface, creating some of
the worst diving conditions in American history.
Circumstances were so terrible that one diver, Fred

MADAM, WILL YOU TALK?
Mary Stewart
Foreword by Katherine Hall Page
“A neatly contrived chase story [with] a most satisfactory burst of violence at the end.”
—The New Yorker
Charity Selborne, a lovely war widow, and her
irreverent artist friend, Louise Cray, arrive in the
South of France expecting a conventional holiday.
The vistas of Provence delight them, and Charity
is pleased to meet a young man of thirteen who is
having trouble with his dog. He introduces himself
and Charity is charmed—until she senses a terrible maturity behind his grave eyes, and shortly
hears the rumors about his father. From this point
on the tension mounts steadily until it reaches the
breaking point, while the thirsty summer heat, the
noise of cicadas, and the dust of country roads all
contribute to the superb realism of Mary Stewart’s
very first novel. Combining her keen wit, zest for
adventure, and eye for the details that make her
characters interesting and memorable, Mary Stewart leads the reader on a swift, breathless chase that
turns this quiet story into a masterpiece of romantic suspense.

NO TAN RÁPIDO
Cómo orientar a sus adolescentes acerca de los peligros de conducir
Tim Hollister
Prologue by Sandy Spavone
Most driving literature for parents focuses on
how to teach a teen to drive, without explaining
why teen driving is so dangerous in the first place
or giving parents a plan to preempt the hazards
teens face. By contrast, No tan rápido empowers
and guides parents to understand the causes and
situations that most often lead to teen crashes
and to take specific, proactive steps—before and
each time a teen driver gets behind the wheel—to
counteract them. This authoritative guide tackles
issues such as texting and distracted driving, parenting attitudes (conscious and unconscious), teen
impairment and fatigue, how brain development
affects driving, how and why to prepare a “flight
plan” for each drive before handing over the keys,
how and when to say no to your teen, and much
more.

DEADLY VALENTINES
The Story of Capone’s Henchman “Machine Gun” Jack McGurn and
Louise Rolfe, His Blonde Alibi
Jeffrey Gusfield
“An engrossing look inside Al Capone’s murderous
ranks.” —Kirkus
Almost before the gunsmoke from the St. Valentine’s Day Massacre cleared, Chicago police had a
suspect: “Machine Gun” Jack McGurn. They just
couldn’t find him. But two weeks later police found
McGurn and his paramour, Louise May Rolfe,
holed up at the Stevens Hotel. Both claimed they
were in bed on the morning of the shootings, a
titillating alibi that grabbed the public’s attention
and never let go.
Deadly Valentines is one of the most outrageous stories of the Capone era, a twin biography
of a couple who defined the extremes and excesses
of the Prohibition era in America. McGurn was
a prizefighter, professional-level golfer, and the
ultimate urban predator and hit man who put
the iron in Al Capone’s muscle. Rolfe, a beautiful

The Life of Bernard Hinault and the Legacy of French Cycling

one occasion. Three decades after his retirement,
he remains the last Frenchman to win the Tour
de France. His victory in 1985 marks the turning
point when the nation who had dominated the first
eight decades of the race they had invented suddenly found they were no longer able to win it.
In The Badger, bestselling author William
Fotheringham finally gets to the bottom of this
fascinating character and explores the reasons why
the nation that considers itself cycling’s home has
found it so hard to produce another champion.
Hinault was the last “old-school” champion: a
larger-than-life character from a working-class
background, capable of winning on all terrains,
in major Tours and one-day Classics. Nicknamed
“The Badger” for his combative style, he led a

Scotland’s Great Whisky Distilleries

This wide-ranging and evocative photographic

the Isle of Arran to Glenkinchie, describes the
“cultural terroir” of the country’s fifty greatest distilleries—the ingredients, practices, and traditions
that result in an exquisite range of single-malt
whiskies. Over 250 specially commissioned photographs capture the texture of the surrounding
landscapes through the changing seasons, vividly

THE AMERICAN SLAVE COAST
A History of the Slave-Breeding Industry
Ned and Constance Sublette
The American Slave Coast tells the horrific, farreaching story of how the slavery business made
the reproductive labor of the people it referred to
as “breeding women” essential to the expansion of
the nation. Enslaved African Americans were not
only laborers, but merchandise and collateral all at
once. In a land without silver, gold, or trustworthy
paper money, their children and their children’s
children into perpetuity were used as human
savings accounts that functioned as the basis of
money and credit, paying interest to slaveowners
in the form of newborns.
The collision course of Virginia, the “mother
of slavery,” with South Carolina, the great slave
importer, supplied part of the drama of the Constitutional Convention and climaxed in the debacle
of the Confederacy. Thomas Jefferson’s prohibition of the African slave trade as of 1808 was not
a humanitarian action but instead protected his
slave-breeding Virginia constituents—more slave

The Legacy of Dunbar, America’s First Black Public High School

would flourish despite Jim Crow laws and segregation. Dunbar attracted an extraordinary faculty.
Its early principal was the first black graduate of
Harvard, and at a time it had seven teachers with
PhDs, a medical doctor, and a lawyer. Over the
school’s first 80 years these teachers would develop
generations of highly educated African Americans, groundbreakers that included the first black
graduate of the US Naval Academy, the first black
army general, the legal mastermind behind school
desegregation, the creator of the modern blood
bank, and hundreds of educators.
At its height in the 1940s and ’50s, Dunbar
High School sent 80 percent of its students to college. Today, like in too many failing urban public
schools, the majority of Dunbar students are barely
proficient in reading and math. What happened?

FIGHTING THE DEVIL IN DIXIE
How Civil Rights Activists Took on the Ku Klux Klan in Alabama
Wayne Greenhaw
“Wayne Greenhaw writes about civil rights with a
journalist’s skills, the ease of a natural-born storyteller, an insider’s perspective, and a sensitive Southerner’s understanding. He was there during the
quintessential events of the modern movement, and
now you can be too. I recommend it.” —Julian Bond
Shortly after the success of the Montgomery bus
boycott, the Ku Klux Klan—determined to keep
segregation as the way of life in Alabama—staged
a resurgence. The strong-armed leadership of
governor George C. Wallace, who defied the new
civil rights laws and became the poster child for
segregationists, empowered the Klan’s most violent
members. An intimidating series of gruesome acts
of violence threatened to roll back the advances of
the nascent civil rights movement.
As Wallace’s power grew, however, blacks began

THE FIRST KING OF HOLLYWOOD
The Life of Douglas Fairbanks
Tracey Goessel
Douglas Fairbanks was the greatest male leading
man of the silent era—the first and the best of
the swashbucklers. With Charlie Chaplin, D.W.
Griffith, and his wife, film star Mary Pickford, he
founded United Artists. Pickford and Fairbanks
ruled Hollywood as its first king and queen for a
glorious decade.
Now a cache of newly discovered love letters
from Fairbanks to Pickford form the centerpiece of
the first truly definitive biography of the original
Robin Hood, the true Zorro, the man who did his
own stunts and built his own studio.
Fairbanks was fun, witty, engaging, creative,
athletic, and a force to be reckoned with. He
shaped our idea of the Hollywood hero, and it has
never been the same since. His story, like his movies, is full of passion, bravado, and romance.
“Tracey Goessel has researched Fairbanks’s life and
work more thoroughly than anyone before her, and
her book will undoubtedly become a classic among
film biographies.” —Kevin Brownlow, author of

A beloved film comedienne who worked alongside

aspiring teacher turned reluctant beauty queen, to
outspoken movie starlet and restaurateur. Increasingly disenchanted with Hollywood, in 1934 Todd

that attracted fans, tourists, and celebrities. Life
appeared charmed for the beautiful Hollywood

LOVE BECOMES A FUNERAL PYRE
A Biography of the Doors
Mick Wall
“Wall’s account pulls no punches, cataloguing each
of the primal scenes—early performances, indecent exposure, Jim’s sexuality, decline and death—
with a detached, knowing eye.” —Guitarist
Spanning the entire history of the Doors, this book
will long remain the definitive history of a band
that changed the history of popular music. But it’s
not the story you think you know.
Yes, Jim Morrison died in Paris in 1971—but
not in a bathtub. The other Doors were saddened
and shocked, but had already fired him anyway.
It wasn’t Jim who wrote the hits, it was guitarist
Robby Krieger. It wasn’t Jim who saw a bright,
acid-flared future for the band but keyboardist Ray
Manzarek.
And so, the band that started out as the
“American Rolling Stones,” noted for their wildly
unpredictable performances, their jazzy vibe, and

WHISKEY BOTTLES AND BRAND-NEW CARS
The Fast Life and Sudden Death of Lynyrd Skynyrd
Mark Ribowsky
This book tells the intimate story of how a band of
lost souls and self-destructive misfits clawed their
way to the very top of the rock ’n’ roll peak, writing
and performing as if beneficiaries of a deal with
the devil—a deal fulfilled by a tragic fall from the
sky. The rudderless genius behind their ascent was
a man named Ronnie Van Zant, who guided their
five-year run and evolved not just a new country/
rock idiom but a new Confederacy.
Whiskey Bottles and Brand-New Cars is based
on interviews with surviving band members and
others who watched them. It gives a new perspective to a history of stage fights, motel-room
destructions, cunning business deals, and brilliant
studio productions, offering a greater appreciation
for a band that, in the aftermath of its last plane
ride, has sadly descended into self-caricature as the
sort of lowbrow guns-’n’-God cliché that Ronnie

IN THE ALL-NIGHT CAFÉ
A Memoir of Belle and Sebastian’s Formative Year
Stuart David
“One afternoon in 1994, I had an idea.” So begins
Stuart David’s magical, evocative memoir about
the indie pop band Belle and Sebastian.
Determined to make his living writing stories
and songs, Stuart had spent several years scraping
by on the dole in his small, industrial home town.
Then he had the fateful idea to learn bass guitar,
and to head for Glasgow in search of like-minded
artists.
In the All-Night Café describes Stuart’s fortuitous meeting with the group’s cofounder Stuart
Murdoch in a course for unemployed musicians.
It tells of their adventures in two early incarnations of Belle and Sebastian and culminates in
the recording of their celebrated debut album,
Tigermilk.
This portrait of the group and its origins will
resonate with anyone who has put together—or
thought of putting together—a band. It is a story

BOWIE ON BOWIE
Interviews and Encounters with David Bowie
Edited by Sean Egan
David Bowie has been one of pop music’s
greatest interviewees since January 1972, when he
famously told Melody Maker he was gay. Although
he wasn’t yet a big star, it was a groundbreaking
moment. And over the years, Bowie has failed to
give an uninteresting interview. He has been honest, declining to be coy about his ambitions, his
private life, and even his developing ennui.
Bowie on Bowie presents some of the best interviews Bowie has granted in his near five-decade
career. Each interview traces a new step in his
unique journey, successively freezing him in time
as young novelty hit-maker, hairy hippie, Ziggy
Stardust, Aladdin Sane, the Thin White Duke, plastic soul man, fragile Germanic exile, godfather of
the New Romantics, eighties sell-out, Tin Machinist, and, finally, permanently, artistically reborn

This book collects more than fifty interviews with
Leonard Cohen, one of the most admired performers of the last half century, conducted worldwide
between 1966 and 2012, and also includes a foreword by singer Suzanne Vega and eight pages
of rarely seen photos. In it, the artist talks about
“Bird on the Wire,” “Hallelujah,” “Famous Blue
Raincoat,” and his other classic songs. He candidly discusses his famous romances, his years in
a Zen monastery, his ill-fated collaboration with
producer Phil Spector, and his long battle with
depression. He also comments on his sometimes
controversial poetry and novels, the financial crisis
that nearly wiped out his savings, and his remarkable late-career resurgence.

JOSS WHEDON
The Biography
Amy Pascale
Foreword by Nathan Fillion
From the 4 million US viewers who watched Buffy
the Vampire Slayer to a worldwide box office of
$1.5 billion for The Avengers is quite a leap. Yet the
creator of them both, Joss Whedon, told as personal a tale with six superheroes and over-the-top
explosions as he did with a girl trying to make her
way through high school.
Whedon has always been determined to follow his own path. This definitive biography shows
how his years at an elite English public school led
to his early successes, which often turned into
frustration in both television (Roseanne) and film
(Buffy the Vampire Slayer; Alien: Resurrection).
But when Whedon resurrected his girl hero on a
young network, the results enabled him to produce
three more television series, several movies, and
Marvel comic books, culminating in the blockbuster The Avengers. Then Much Ado About Noth-

The Turbulent History of the Daily Planet’s Ace Reporter

for sixteen years to appearing in animated serials,
live-action TV shows, and full-length movies, Lois
Lane has been a paragon of journalistic integrity
and the paramour of the world’s strongest superhero. But her history is one of constant tension.
From her earliest days, Lane yearned to make the
front page of the Daily Planet, but was held back
by her damsel-in-distress role. When she finally
became an ace reporter, asinine lessons and her
tumultuous romance with Superman dominated
her storylines for decades and relegated her journalism to the background. Through it all, Lane
remained a fearless and ambitious character, and
today she is a beloved icon and an inspiration to
many. Though her history is often troubling, Lane’s

THE BOX WINE SAILORS
Misadventures of a Broke Young Couple at Sea
Amy McCullough
Amy and Jimmie were not sailors. Their experience included reading a few books, watching a
couple of instructional videos, and sailing once a
week for a year. They were land-lubberly, middleclass twentysomethings, audacious and in love. All
they wanted was to be together and do something
extraordinary. They quit their jobs, bought a boat
that was categorically considered “too small” for
ocean sailing, and without some “must-have” sailing equipment, sailed along the coast from Portland Oregon to the Sea of Cortez.
The Box Wine Sailors tells the true story of
a couple’s ramshackle trip down the coast with
all the exulting highs and terrifying lows of sailing a small boat on the Pacific. From sailing on
Thanksgiving morning under spectacular bright
blue Californian skies just off the Channel Islands
as dolphins raced alongside their boat to the terrifying experience of rounding Punta Gorda and

the nurse with rare Munchausen syndrome, the
only surviving ricin victim, and the professor with
Alzheimer’s hiding the effects of the wrong medication. Each chapter features stories centered on a
medical topic like body temperature, medications,
detecting poisons, or the art of “taking a history.”
Readers will come away learning how the practice
of medicine has changed over the years, providing

“The old High Priest dipped a finger in the blood

Phaedrus had come a long way since the fight in
the Arena that gained him his freedom. He had
left behind his old Roman life and identity and had
entered another, more primitive, world—that of the

WOMEN OF COLONIAL AMERICA
13 Stories of Courage and Survival in the New World
Brandon Marie Miller
African women in 17th- and 18th-century colonial America. Hard work proved a constant for
most women—they ensured their family’s survival
through their skills while others sold their labor or
lived in bondage as indentured servants and slaves.
Even in this world defined entirely by men, a
world where no one thought it important to record
a female’s thoughts, women found ways to step
forth. Elizabeth Ashbridge survived an abusive
indenture to become a Quaker preacher. Anne
Bradstreet penned epic poetry while raising eight
children in the wilderness. Anne Hutchinson
went toe-to-toe with Puritan authorities. Margaret Hardenbroeck Philipse built a trade empire in
New Amsterdam. Martha Corey lost her life in the
vortex of Salem’s witch hunt. And Eve, a Virginia
slave, twice ran away to freedom. With strength,

and resourceful and extremely determined” and
“the best shot, male or female, we have yet had,”

Pearl describes in a series of plainspoken reminiscences her difficult childhood and harrowing
escape from France in 1940; her recruitment and
training as a special agent; the dangers of posing as
a cosmetics saleswoman to make her way around
the country as an undercover courier; and both
failed and successful attempts at sabotaging the
Nazis.
With an annotated list of key figures, an
appendix of unedited interview extracts and
photographs from Pearl’s personal collection, Code

and firsthand accounts of the movement’s key
events like the 1950s “Lavender Scare,” the Stonewall Inn uprising, and the AIDS crisis. Readers will
