The Floor of Heaven
A True Tale of the American West and the Yukon Gold
Rush
Howard Blum
By the author of the New York Times bestseller and Edgar Award-winner
American Lightning, and featuring memorable characters and backdrops
evocative of Larry McMurtry's Lonesome Dove and Hampton Sides's Blood
and Thunder, this true-life tale, set in the 1890s, uses the intertwined lives of
a bonanza-seeking gold prospector, an unstoppable lawman, and a wily con
artist-thief to show how the opening of the "last frontier" in Alaska shaped
America's national character.
Charlie Siringo spends two decades in the saddle before joining the Pinkerton
Agency as its "cowboy detective" and heading to Alaska to solve a robbery at the
world's largest gold mine. Along the way, he befriends George Carmack, a gold
prospector with big dreams. When Carmack's discovery of history's richest gold
deposit sets off the 1896 gold rush--and Carmack becomes one of Alaska's
richest men--the prospector-turned-tycoon becomes the target of a gang led by
Soapy Smith, a notorious con man who runs the Alaskan gold-rush underworld.
To stop him, Carmack must enlist the help of his detective friend Charlie Siringo.
These three larger-than-life figures aren't simply unforgettable. Their tangled fates
tell the story of the end of one America and the beginning of something new.

Love, Terror, and an American Family in Hitler's Berlin
Erik Larson
A gripping saga of love, intrigue, and terror at the American embassy in
Berlin during Hitler's first year in power, by the bestselling author of Devil in
the White City.
Berlin, 1933. William E. Dodd is a mild-mannered academic from Chicago who
to his own and everyone else's surprise becomes America's first ambassador to
Hitler's Germany, in a year that proves to be a turning point in history. Dodd
moves his wife, son, and flamboyant daughter, Martha, to the city where they
observe firsthand the many changes--some subtle, some disturbing, and some
horrifically violent--that signaled Hitler's consolidation of power. Dodd has little
choice but to associate with key figures in the Nazi party, and Martha has one
dalliance after another with them, including the charismatic and surprisingly
honorable first chief of the Gestapo, Rudolf Diels. The year darkens steadily, and
both Dodd and his daughter find their lives gradually transformed until the bloody
"Night of the Long Knives" establishes Hitler as supreme dictator and shatters any

Adventures of an American Romantic in Iran
Roger Housden
Poet, adventurer, and unapologetic romantic Roger Housden travels to Iran
to learn about the people, the culture, and the art of this misunderstood land.
Forty years ago, Roger Housden discovered the poetry of Rumi and Hafez,
read tales of exotic Sufis, and was carried away by the music and wisdom of a
culture that reached back over three thousand years, a culture that gave us our
word for paradise. He wanted to see if the Iran of his imagination continued to
exist, or whether it had been lost forever. What he discovered was a country of
remarkable contradictions.
An overwhelmingly young nation--70 percent of the population is under
25--where use of the worldwide web and of plastic surgeons is as common as in
New York, there is also a deep national pride in the country's art, traditions, and
historical achievements. Housden leads us into the mountains of Kurdistan to join
the Sufis in their ceremonies, then on to the fabled cities of Isfahan and Shiraz,
introducing us to a cast of Iranians ranging from famous artists and filmmakers, to
politicians, sheikhs, and religious leaders, to waiters, shopkeepers, and students.
We learn about the rich history, the delicious foods, the intricate architecture, and
of course, the incredible music and poetry of Hafez and Rumi. Housden takes
ON SALE 5/17/2011 Rumi as his guide on the journey, and the poet's wisdom becomes a touchstone.
BROADWAY When Housden's return home is cast in doubt by the Iranian security services,

The Murder of the Century
The Gilded Age Crime That Scandalized a City &
Sparked the Tabloid Wars
Paul Collins
For readers of popular history such as Erik Larson's Devil in the White City,
a gripping story of a Gilded Age crime of passion that shocked America.
In Long Island, a farmer found a duck pond turned red with blood. On the
Lower East Side, two boys playing at a pier discovered a floating human torso
wrapped tightly in oilcloth. Blueberry pickers near Harlem stumbled upon neatly
severed limbs in an overgrown ditch. Clues to a horrifying crime were turning up
all over New York, but the police were baffled: there were no witnesses, no
motives, no suspects.
The grisly finds that began on the afternoon of June 26, 1897, plunged
detectives headlong into the era's most perplexing murder. Seized upon by
battling media moguls Joseph Pulitzer and William Randolph Hearst, the case
became a publicity circus.
Re-creations of the murder were staged in Times Square, armed reporters
lurked the streets of Hell's Kitchen in pursuit of suspects, and an unlikely trio--an
anxious cop, a cub reporter, and an eccentric professor--all raced to solve the
crime. What emerged was a sensational love triangle and an even more

affair between Louis and Princess Henriette burns, his brother's jealousy coupled
with his mother's rage at Louis's lack of self-control, sets the kingdom on the road
toward unmistakeable scandal. Every woman wants him. He must face what he is
willing to sacrifice for love.
But there are other problems lurking outside the chateau of Fontainebleau: a
boy in an iron mask has been seen in the woods, and the king's finance minister,
Nicolas Fouquet, has proven to be more powerful than Louis ever thought--a man
who could make a great ally or become a dangerous foe...

Roland Merullo
Marjorie Richards--now a wife and mother--tells the story of her rescue from
a bizarre, abusive childhood. By turns dark with a peculiar breed of insanity
and bright with love and resilience, The Talk-Funny Girl is a testament to
one young woman's courage and the healing force of love.
Marjorie is raised by parents so intentionally isolated from normal human
society that they develop their own dialect, a kind of mountain hybrid of English
that displays both their ignorance of and disdain for the wider world. As the nearby
factory town sinks deeper into economic ruin, as girls Marjorie's age mysteriously
disappear, and as her parents fall under the influence of a sadistic cult leader,
Marjorie is rescued from her own private hell in unique fashion: she is hired by a
man, himself a victim of abuse, who is building what he calls "a cathedral," right in
the center of town.
Day by day, Marjorie's skills as a stoneworker increase, and so does her
discomfort with the bitter rules of her family life. Slowly, she discovers what is
lovable within herself, and this new confidence enables her to break free, start a
family of her own, and try to fully heal her wounds without passing the pain on to
her own children.

Sandra Beasley
In this often humorous but always enlightening memoir, Sandra Beasley, an
award-winning poet and former American Scholar editor, intertwines her
personal experience as "Allergy Girl" with the cultural history of food
allergies.
Sandra Beasley has had severe allergies to certain foods her whole life. When
butter is deadly and eggs can make your throat swell shut, cupcakes and other
joys of childhood are out of the question--and so Sandra's mother used to warn
guests against a toxic, frosting-tinged kiss with "Don't kill the birthday girl!"
Now an award-winning poet, essayist, and editor, Sandra has written an
accessible narrative about a subject that has only been addressed in either
medical guides or recipe books: a cultural history and sociological study of food
allergies, melded with her own humorous and sometimes heartbreaking
experiences. From her short-lived gig as a restaurant reviewer to the dates that
ended with trips to the emergency room, Sandra writes with verve and style about
the struggle of a modern young woman to come to terms with a potentially deadly
disorder.

Finding Everett Ruess
The Remarkable Life and Unsolved Disappearance of a

David Roberts
An arresting work of narrative nonfiction that combines the Into the
Wild-like haunting drama of a singular young adventurer-aesthete's
wilderness vagabondage with an investigation of the mystery of his
disappearance in Navajo country that brings to mind Tony Hillerman's
novels.
The unsolved 1934 disappearance in the American Southwest of 20-year-old

Why Most Americans Remain in Reverse in the Wake
of the Great Recession
Don Peck
For readers of James Kwak's 13 Bankers, a fascinating and harrowing
exploration of the consequences of the Great Recession, by the deputy
managing editor of The Atlantic, Don Peck.
Don Peck's cover story in the March 2010 edition of the Atlantic, "How a New

The Huffington Post made the piece its lead story within the first 24 hours of its
release. Both President Obama and Larry Summers distributed copies throughout
the White House, and Nancy Pelosi was moved to write about it.
That article was the germ for The Two-Speed Society, which uses a mix of
history, news, reported vignettes, data, new academic findings, and cultural
commentary to paint a devastating portrait of what American life will look like in
the long aftermath of the Great Recession. Every generation will be affected--from

where no medicine, even aspirin, was allowed. In December 1985, when Lucia
and her siblings--by then young adults--discovered that their mother was sick, they
came face-to-face with the reality that they had few--if any--options to save her. At
once an essentially American coming-of-age story and a glimpse into the
practices of the Christian Science religion, fathermothergod is personal memoir at
its heartbreaking best.

A Memoir of Family, Fame, and Floundering
Meredith Baxter
The candid, funny, and inspiring memoir of the beloved and iconic star of
the 1970s and '80s who recounts her colorful life as an actress as well as her
struggles with three failed marriages, breast cancer, alcoholism, and her
decision to reveal that she is a lesbian at sixty-two.
crown ARCHETYPE
Meredith Baxter has long been one of America's most beloved television
actresses. She is widely remembered and appreciated for her perceptive
portrayals of intelligent, independent women--most notably her roles as Elyse
Keaton on the long-running Family Ties; the convicted murderer Betty Broderick in
A Woman Scorned: The Betty Broderick Story and Her Final Fury; the journalist
(and breast-cancer survivor) Joyce Wadler in the television film My Breast; and--in
an Emmy-winning turn--the lesbian mother of a teenager in the CBS Special Other
Mothers. Yet in her own life, despite being a fierce advocate for women's rights,
Baxter often sublimated her own needs and identity, in both her career and in her
three marriages. At the same time, she confronted her own alcoholism, battled
breast cancer, and established a foundation. Now cancer-free and sober for the
past nineteen years, she recently orchestrated her own coming-out on the Today
show. With insight and humor, she finally tells the story of her remarkable journey.

Out of Character
Surprising Truths About the Liar, Cheat, Sinner (and
Saint) Lurking in All of Us
David DeSteno and Piercarlo Valdesolo
A surprising and revealing look at the hidden psychological forces that
drive us to cheat on our spouse, become wildly jealous for no good reason,
allow ourselves to be fooled by people in power, and exhibit many more of
the puzzling behaviors that shape our lives.
crown ARCHETYPE
Our most commonly held view about the nature of "character," the authors
argue, is completely wrong. Our "character" is not a fixed set of personality traits;
rather, it's a fluid state, shifting constantly at the hand of mental mechanisms
operating beneath our conscious awareness. From loyalty and infidelity, to
hypocrisy and morality, to tolerance and bigotry, to honesty and deceit,
psychologists DeSteno and Valdesolo shine a new scientific light on the dueling
forces that drive the saint and sinner lurking in all of us.

Stop Saying You're Fine
Get What You Want by Getting Out of Your Own Way
Mel Robbins
By a TV and radio personality with a growing platform, this
grab-the-reader-by-the-collar guide offers refreshing advice to those who
feel secretly frustrated and want to launch their lives in a new direction.
Robbins is all about instilling readers with the courage and methodology to
crown ARCHETYPE
eliminate that hard-to-describe lack in their lives. Her compelling premise is that
most of us are secretly dissatisfied. Our rote response to people who inquire how
we're doing is "fine," but at a deeper level we have an "Is that all there is?" feeling
or sense of a dream denied, a yearning suppressed. The truth is, we are our own
worst enemy. Our brains invent reasons not to alter our current life script. By
acting defiantly and seizing small moments of rich possibility--a process Robbins
calls "leaning in"--we can make tiny course deviations add up to huge change. A
full-on assault on "obstacle thinking" and "analysis paralysis", this book doesn't
just offer broad generalities but details the exact sequence of steps we must
follow to break free of inertia and finally seize that thing our heart tells us we want.

The Next Wave
On the Hunt for Al Qaeda's American Recruits
Catherine Herridge
From the Times Square bomber to the Fort Hood massacre, The Next Wave
uncovers the latest threats from Islamic terrorists and, frighteningly, their
homegrown origin.
It's Al Qaeda 2.0. In a growing number of cases, their followers are just like us.
They are educated here or are born here. The radicalization process can happen
from any laptop and an off-beat kid can reach out and become a dedicated killer in
a matter of months.
In the past year alone, Najibullah Zazi, the Denver airport shuttle bus driver,
pled guilty to a plot to blow up the New York City subway; Major Nidal Hasan
gunned down 13 people at Fort Hood in Texas; a 35-year-old Virginia man,
Anthony Tracy, was arrested for smuggling 272 Somalis, many with al Qaeda ties,
into the United States; Faisal Shahzad attempted to car bomb Times Square, and
mastermind Anwar al-Awlaki, a radical cleric born in New Mexico and now hiding
in Yemen, is directly tied to the 9/11 hijackers and dozens of other plots.
From these "lone wolf" operators, the picture is clear: the next wave of Islamic
terrorism is here and more difficult than ever to stop.

How the Masters of the Universe Melted Wall Street

Suzanne McGee
"A disturbing account of how Goldman Sachs Group Inc. became a

and disturbing look at the forces that have transformed Wall Street into a

The demons that drove Richard Fuld of Lehman Brothers and Stanley O'Neil of

Richard Branson
A new edition of Richard Branson's internationally bestselling
autobiography, updated with his reflections on the last decade.
When Richard Branson first founded a mail-order music business called Virgin
in 1970, he was just twenty years old, an irreverent young man with visions of
meeting his favorite musicians, making a bit of profit if he could, and above all,
having fun. Little did he realize that he was founding a business empire that would
place him at the heart of the cultural zeitgeist for several decades and make him
one of the richest men in the world. As head of Virgin, Richard produced or signed
many of the most famous musicians in pop history, from the Rolling Stones to
Janet Jackson. He made billions, revolutionized air and space travel, challenged
Coke and Pepsi on their home turf, and did it all without ever losing his sense of
fun and adventure (or his irreverent sense of humor). Now he looks back on his

“I could not put the book down ... Through Lacks, the story of modern medicine and bioethics—
and, indeed, race relations—is refracted beautifully, and movingly.”
—Entertainment Weekly
“Indelible ... A heroic work of cultural and medical journalism. With it, Skloot reminds doctors,
patients, and outside observers that however advanced the technology and esoteric the science,
the material they work with is humanity, and every piece of it is precious.”
—Laura Miller, Salon.com
“Moving ... an impressive nonfiction debut... A real-life detective story, The Immortal Life of
Henrietta Lacks probes deeply into racial and ethical issues in medicine... The emotional impact
of Skloot’s tale is intensified by its skillfully orchestrated counterpoint between two worlds.”
—Steve Silberman, Nature
“An inspiring story, full of poignancy and humanity ... Above all it is a human story of
redemption for a family, torn by loss, and for a writer with a vision that would not let go.”
—Boston Globe
“Funny, tender, sometimes violent ... Folds together a sweeping history of scientific
triumph and shame, a dramatic true story of Skloot’s long struggle to win the family’s
confidence, and a cast of characters whose anger, generosity, pride, and improbable grace
make them impossible to forget.”
—Dallas Morning News
“Riveting... raises important questions about medical ethics... It’s an amazing story...
deeply chilling... Whether those uncountable HeLa cells are a miracle or a violation,
Skloot tells their fascinating story at last with skill, insight, and compassion.”
—St. Petersburg Times
“Rich and compelling. Through ten years of painstaking research, done with the help of
Henrietta’s daughter, Deborah, Rebecca Skloot has crafted a unique piece of science

Her name was Henrietta Lacks, but scientists know her as HeLa. She was a

1951--became one of the most important tools in medicine, bought and sold
by the billions, with devastating effects on her family. Now in paperback,
this phenomenal New York Times bestseller tells a riveting story of ethics,
race, and medicine colliding; of scientific discovery and faith healing; and of
a daughter's persistent desire to know her mother.

REISSUE
The True Story of Nietzsche's Sister and Her Lost Aryan
Colony
Ben Macintyre
From the bestselling, acclaimed author of Operation Mincemeat and Agent
Zigzag, the fascinating story of Elisabeth Nietzsche's insane attempt to
found a utopian colony in the jungles of Paraguay in the late 19th century.
In 1886 Elisabeth Nietzsche, the bigoted, imperious sister of the famous
philosopher, founded a "racially pure" colony in Paraguay together with her
husband, anti-Semitic agitator Bernhard Förster, and a band of fair-skinned fellow
Germans. In 1991 Ben Macintyre tracked down the survivors of Nueva Germania,
as the colony was called; he found a strange, tight-lipped people, still
interbreeding to the point of genetic deterioration. Digging into recently opened
German archives, Macintyre tells how Elisabeth, who returned to Germany in
1893, grafted her anti-Semitic, nationalist ideas onto her brother's philosophy,
building a mythic cult around him. Elisabeth later became a mentor to Hitler; her
stately funeral in 1935 was attended by a tearful Führer. Laced with mordant
irony, Macintyre's brilliant piece of investigative journalism adds weight to the
view, shared by many scholars, that the Nazis' use of Friedrich Nietzsche's ideas
to justify their evil deeds and doctrines was a perversion of his thought.

The vastly entertaining saga of Adam Worth, the most notorious bank thief
of Victorian society and the inspiration for Arthur Conan Doyle's Professor
Moriarty.
The Victorian era's most infamous and iconic thief, Adam Worth was known as
the Napoleon of crime. Suave, cunning, and fearless, Worth learned early that the
best way to succeed was to steal. And steal he did. Following a strict code of
honor, Worth won the respect of Victorian society. He also aroused its fear by
becoming a chilling phantom, mingling undetected with the upper classes, whose
valuables he brazenly stole. His most celebrated heist: Gainsborough's grand
portrait of the Duchess of Devonshire--ancestor of Diana, Princess of Wales--a
painting Worth adored and often slept with for 20 years. With a brilliant and
colorful gang, Worth secretly ran operations from New York to London, Paris, and
South Africa--until betrayal and a Pinkerton man finally brought him down.
Here is a grand, dazzling tour into the gaslit underworld of the 19th century,
and into the doomed genius of a criminal mastermind.

A Memoir
Beth Greenfield
In the tradition of such powerful personal memoirs as My Lobotomy by
Howard Dully and Name All the Animals by Alison Smith, a beautifully
written, wry, and funny memoir of growing up and moving forward after a
shattering loss.
Twenty-five years after she survived the car accident that killed her adopted
younger brother, Adam, and her best friend, Kristin, when she was twelve,
journalist and writer Beth Greenfield is still coming to terms with the loss that
devastated her family.
Tracing her life of beach clubs and ballet before the accident through the
harrowing aftermath of the tragedy, and the myriad emotions she experiences as
the loss continues to affect her life years later--guilt, blame, anger,
regret--Greenfield exquisitely captures both the pain and the pleasure of loving,

ORIGINAL
Tony Perrottet
This sharp and funny new travel narrative, which combines a present-day
journey with a whimsical trek through 18th century history, will appeal to the
readers of Bill Bryson, J. Maarten Troost, and Paul Theroux.
Beginning with the premise that "sex has always been the unspoken inspiration
for travel," celebrated travel writer Tony Perrottet retraces the route of the "Grand
Tour" through Europe, a tradition long enjoyed by the upper-class. But instead of
seeking out Europe's cultural treasures, he digs deep for its "historical filth"--from
the Hellfire Clubs of Hogarthian Britain and Marquis de Sade's castle in Provence
to the Renaissance bordellos of Venice and the erotic grottos of ancient Capri.

A Novel
Emma Campion
An enthralling novel that will appeal to fans of Philippa Gregory and Alison
Weir, The King's Mistress is the story of Alice Perrers, the notorious
mistress of King Edward III. As one of the King's favorites, she leaves
jealousy and hatred in her wake, and some will stop at nothing to see her fall
from grace.
From childhood, Alice learned obedience in all things, so when at the age of
fourteen her father chooses a husband for her, she dutifully marries him--at the
cost of losing the love of her mother forever, as well as the family she holds dear.
Her marriage, however, is short-lived, and when Alice's husband suddenly
disappears, she discovers that he had many dangerous secrets, which have now
put a price on her own head and that of her beloved daughter. King Edward III and
Queen Philippa offer her safety and sanctuary, but she soon realizes that she will
be forced to embrace her fate once more. The king's affections are more than
paternal, and she must obey his desires in order to save her family--even if it
means destroying herself.

A Novel YORK TIMES
BESTSELLER
Lisa Unger
From the New York Times bestselling author of Beautiful Lies, Black Out,
and Die for You comes a novel of corrosive secrets, tenuous connections,
and the all-encompassing strength of a mother's faith.
Despite their mostly happy marriage, Maggie and Jones find themselves at
odds when their son Ricky's girlfriend vanishes--Maggie is positive Ricky had
nothing to do with Charlene's disappearance, while Jones isn't as sure. With
Charlene gone, the memory of another young girl who went missing some twenty
years ago is haunting the town. That story didn't have a happy ending, and almost
everyone has an unrevealed reason to keep the horror of it firmly in the past.
As Jones and the police turn their focus on Ricky, Maggie must find out the
truth about what happened all those years ago. In order to save her son and the
young woman whose life hangs in the balance, she'll test the bonds of her
community--and find out just how fragile they can be.

A Novel
Scott Sigler
New York Times bestselling author Scott Sigler returns with another
heart-pounding ride that's part Frankenstein-style cautionary tale, part
monster movie, and part technothriller, as science accidentally unleashes a
fearsome ancient predator on the modern world.
On a remote island in the Canadian Arctic, a team of top geneticists has
cracked one of medicine's most lucrative riddles: they've discovered a technique
that could provide transplant organs to millions, for a nominal fee. The method?
Illegal. The result? A computer-engineered living creature, an animal whose
organs can be implanted in any person, with no chance of transplant rejection.
There's just one problem: these ancestors are not the docile herd animals the
scientists envisioned. Instead, their work has given birth to something big,
something evil.
The ultimate predator is now on the loose...and it's very, very hungry.

Alethea Black
Commanding, piercing, and emotionally multidimensional, I Knew You'd Be
Lovely, is a debut story collection that heralds the arrival of a major new
talent.
Alethea Black has created a brilliant, intoxicating, and wholly fresh collection
that features a piercing sense of optimism and yearning. These thirteen irresistible
stories offer up great entertainment, writing that shines with nuance and precision,
and a coterie of vulnerable, memorable characters who are at some sort of
emotional crossroads or turning point and who are ready and open for the
epiphanies we all hope await us. Brimming with irony, insights about the
unpredictable nature of life, the unbearable beauty of fate, and the exploration of
the particular power that one moment, or one decision, can have to transform us, I

The Lunatic Express
broadway
Discovering the World . . . via Its Most Dangerous
Buses, Boats, Trains, and Planes
Carl Hoffman
Journalist Carl Hoffman presents himself with a unique, daredevil travel
challenge: circumnavigate the globe exclusively by means of the
statistically most dangerous airlines; most interminable, overcrowded train
and bus lines; most packed, rickety ferries; and slowest, most old fashioned
conveyances of every kind.
Indonesian Ferry Sinks. Peruvian Bus Plunges Off Cliff. African Train Attacked
by Mobs. Whenever he picked up the newspaper, Carl Hoffman noticed those
short news bulletins, which seemed about as far from the idea of tourism--travel
as the pursuit of pleasure--as it was possible to get. So off he went, spending six
months circumnavigating the globe on the world's worst conveyances. The
Lunatic Express takes us to some of the world's most teeming cities and remote
places: from Havana to Bogotá on the perilous Cuban Airways; Lima to the
Amazon on crowded night buses where the road is a washed-out track; across
Indonesia and Bangladesh by overcrowded ferries that kill 1,000 passengers a
year; on commuter trains in Mumbai so crowded that dozens perish daily; across
Afghanistan as the Taliban closes in, and, scariest of all, Los Angeles to
Washington, D.C., by Greyhound.

A Novel
Diann Ducharme
As the wounds of the Civil War are just beginning to heal, one fateful
summer would forever alter the course of a young girl's life.
During the summer of 1868, seventeen-year-old Abigail Sinclair, daughter of a
plantation owner, finds and fights to save an unlikely love with Benjamin Whimble,
a good-natured, ambitious, and penniless local fisherman whom she is
encouraged by her parents to tutor in reading and writing in return for serving as
her father's fishing guide during the Sinclairs's time in Nags Head. When, against
everything he claims to represent, Ben becomes entangled in Abby's father's Ku
Klux Klan dirty work, the terrible tragedy and surprising revelations that one hot
Outer Banks night brings forth threaten to tear them apart.

Robert K. Wittman, Founder, FBI Art Crime Team,
with John Shiffman
In this memoir, the creator and former leader of the FBI's Art Crime Team--a
man whose legendary undercover work has led to the recovery of $225
million worth of stolen art--reveals the stories behind his remarkable
accomplishments.
Armed with a scholar's passion, a con man's smile, and a daredevil's nerves,
Bob Wittman has pulled off awe-inspiring undercover operations all over the
world, recovering hundreds of antiquities ranging from $35 million Rembrandts to
an original copy of the Bill of Rights.
In a nail-biting narrative that reveals why Wittman has been called "a living
legend" by the Wall Street Journal and "the most famous art detective in the
world" by the London Times, Priceless pulls back the curtain on his extraordinary
career--and tells a story about the world's biggest unsolved art theft that the FBI

Laura Fraser
From the bestselling author of An Italian Affair, a new travel memoir about
whether it's possible, in midlife, for a woman to have it all.
On a fortieth birthday tryst, the Parisian professor who helped Laura get over
her divorce tells her that he has a new girlfriend. His news comes at a moment
when Laura is wondering whether her passion for travel is interfering with what
most women seem to want at her age: a husband, a family, a settled life.
Then on a trip to the South Pacific, Laura's world turns upside down. For a
while, she becomes a travel writer afraid to travel. Slowly, Laura copes with her
ordeal and realizes that although she doesn't have the life she used to anticipate,
she still adores her existence. Yet she craves long-term companionship and
travels the world in search of love while seeking wisdom from an Amazonian
shaman, reporting in Rwanda, and tangoing in Buenos Aires.
But when she's dumped on her forty-fifth birthday, Laura is oddly relieved, and
realizes she doesn't want to wait for a man anymore.

A Novel
Richard Harvell
The Bells is the confession of a thief, kidnapper, and unlikely lover--an
utterly original historical novel, and a dazzling debut.
Moses Froben was born in a belfry high in the Swiss Alps, a bastard son
banished to the church tower to ring each day the Loudest and Most Beautiful
Bells in the land. His life is simple but he is content, until the day his father
recognizes Moses' singular sense of hearing and its power to expose his sins.
Cast into the world with only his ears to protect and guide him, Moses finds refuge
in a historic choir and becomes its star singer, only to endure the horrifying act of
castration, meant to preserve his angelic voice.
In a letter to his son, Moses recounts his humble birth in 18th-century
Switzerland, his life as a novice monk, and of noble friends and forbidden lovers
he cherished during his chaotic years on Europe's most celebrated stages. But he
also reveals the astonishing secrets that have shadowed his fame: How did
Moses Froben, world-renowned musico, come to raise a son he could never have
sired?

Mark Beaumont
The remarkable true story of one man's quest to break the record for cycling
around the world, as told by the man himself.
When Mark Beaumont set out to cycle the world he was 24 years old, eager
but naïve, with no real idea of what the journey would require of him. By the time
he returned, triumphant, a world-record 194 days after he began, he had been
changed completely. He'd traveled four continents and more than a dozen
countries, made lifelong friends and been sick, mugged, and run over,
transformed his body into a lean cycling machine, and learned--really
learned--what it takes to do something truly extraordinary. Now, drawing on his
memories, diary entries, and correspondence from throughout the journey, Mark
has written the complete story. Told with honesty, humor, and wisdom, The Man
Who Cycled the World is at once an unforgettable adventure, an insightful travel
narrative, and an impassioned paean to the joys of the open road.

REISSUE
The Story of Queen Anne
Jean Plaidy
The final book in the seven-book Novels of the Stuarts series by Jean
Plaidy, Courting Her Highness will be a hit with Plaidy's well-established
fans who've come to both the reissued Queens of England series and the
Novels of the Tudors.
It's the beginning of the eighteenth century and William of Orange is dying.
Soon Anne is crowned queen, but to court insiders, the name of the imminent
sovereign is Sarah. Beautiful, outspoken Sarah Churchill had bewitched Anne
through the auspices of the Duke of Marlborough, Sarah's husband and perhaps
the greatest military genius England has ever known. Sarah believes she is
invincible, and she is, until she installs a poor relation of hers into court as royal
chambermaid.
Plain Abigail Hill seems the least likely challenger to Sarah's place in her
Highness's affections--but challenge it she does, in stealthy yet formidable ways.
While Anne engages in her private tug-of-war, the nation is obsessed with
another, more public battle: succesion. Anne is sickly and childless, the last of the
Stuart line. This final novel of the Stuarts weaves larger-than-life characters
through a dark maze of intrigue, love, and destruction, with nothing less than the

A Memoir in 39 Apartments
Brooke Berman
The Year of Yes meets Sex and the City in this irreverent, telling, and often
outrageous look at life on the hunt for artistic success, love, and a place to
call one's own.
Brooke Berman moved to New York as a wide-eyed eighteen-year-old, eager
to call the big city home. But in the twenty years and thirty-nine apartments she's
inhabited along the way, she's realized that a "home" is much more than an
address. At times gossipy, saucy, and thoughtful, No Place Like Home follows
Brooke's adventures with each apartment, from the heavenly to the horrible, as
she learns how to heal the past, let go of excess, and keep a sense of humor. No
Place Like Home reminds everyone of the age-old struggle not just to find an
address, but to build a home within.

law"). Tina meets the neighbors, who'd like to evict her, and starts to get involved
in their lives. There's the eccentric botanist growing a mossery in Tina's kitchen,
the hot, self-absorbed son of the co-op board president, the teenager who
becomes Tina's ally and spy, a ghost that she hears crying at night, and the sweet
but frequently hassled doorman who gives her invaluable insight into the lives of
the building's tenants. As all sides prepare for war, Tina begins to love her new
home, find things to like in the stepbrothers she'd never met, and discovers her
place in her family and the world.

the "VIPs," signaling the big dreams they all once had. The men, who haven't
seen one another in years, are greeted at the Hotel Gansevoort by an openly
hostile T.N.T., who asks them a single, stunning question: "Which one of you
bastards is my father?" Readers will be furiously turning the pages as T.N.T.'s
search for his true identity traces the scandalous history of these four friends and

The Devil's Tickets
broadway
A Vengeful Wife, a Fatal Hand, and a New American
Age
Gary Pomerantz
Master of narrative nonfiction Gary Pomerantz provides a unique window
into America of the 1920s and '30s in this fascinating story of a deadly card
game that spawned a celebrated murder trial and that says much about our
peculiarly American obsessions.
As the Roaring Twenties' last peals rang through a nation about to slip into the
Depression, Myrtle Bennett, a glamorous Kansas City housewife, killed her
philandering husband over a bridge game. Her trial would become a national
sensation, pulling into its orbit such larger-than-life characters as political
superstar turned defense attorney James A. Reed, who would give stirring
speeches about the sanctity of womanhood even as he philandered with a
feminist trailblazer who lived next door, and Ely Culbertson, the P.T. Barnum of
bridge, who would sense in the trial's controversy an opportunity to catapault
himself and his wife to national fame and untold wealth.
Through these characters, The Devil's Tickets captures both a uniquely colorful
age and a tension in marriage that is eternal.

Secrets and lies à la Desperate Housewives blend with Ginsberg's
trademark savvy crime writing in her newest novel, an engrossing mix of
domestic drama and suspense.
A pregnant teenager shows up on her biological father's doorstep, and the
neighbors can't stop talking. Joe Montana is a handsome restaurant manager who
failed to tell his wife that he fathered a baby with an ex-girlfriend 17 years ago.
Diana's bombshell arrival in their quiet cul-de-sac sets off a chain reaction of
secrets and lies that threaten to engulf the neighborhood along with the
approaching flames from a Santa Ana-fueled California wildfire.
A woman scorned, a former reality TV star, and a suburban housewife with her
own checkered past--these are just a few of the warring neighbors who will be
forced to band together when Diana disappears in the aftermath of the wildfire
evactuation, leaving her newborn baby--and many unanswered questions--behind.

Battling Pirates & Recovering Stolen Ships in the
World's Most Troubled Waters
Max Hardberger
Seized throws open the hatch on the shadowy maritime world, where
third-world governments place exorbitant liens against ships, pirates seize
commercial vessels with impunity, crooks and con artists reign supreme on
the docks and in the shipyards--and hapless owners have to rely on sea
captain Max Hardberger to recapture their ships and win justice on the high
seas.
A ship captain, airplane pilot, lawyer, teacher, writer, adventurer, and
raconteur, Max Hardberger steals ships--cargo-carrying freighters--for a living. In
Seized, he takes us on a real-life journey into the mysterious world of freighters
and shipping, where fortunes are made and lost by the whims of the waves, and
where obscure maritime laws result in the illegitimate seizure and outright piracy
of multimillion-dollar ships--freighters that the desperate owners hire Max
Hardberger to "extract," or steal back, by putting together a mission-impossible
team flown in under cover of darkness. Max's tales take readers behind the
scenes of the multibillion-dollar shipping industry, as he recounts his efforts to
retrieve illegitimately seized freighters from New Orleans to the Caribbean; from
East Germany to Vladivostok, Russia; and from Greece to the jungles of

Maddie Dawson
Funny and sexy, tender and titillating, The Stuff That Never Happened is a
big, brilliant novel brimming with truths about marriage, family, and love.
Grant and Annabelle McKay have had a long, stable marriage, complete with
two grown children, thousands of dinners at their scarred oak table, and fond sex
(which Grant schedules for every Wednesday morning so they won't forget). But
Annabelle is in love with another man.
Twenty-six years ago, in the first chaotic days of her marriage to Grant,
Annabelle met Jeremiah. She's clung to that passionate affair ever since, though
she and Grant have sworn never to speak of it. Now that the kids have moved out
and Grant seems to be more interested in writing his book than talking to his wife,
Annabelle can't stop wondering if she made the right choice. But when she's
called to New York City to help care for her pregnant daughter, Annabelle runs
into Jeremiah and must finally decide which man truly possesses her heart--and
whether she can pledge herself to either one of them for the rest of her life.

Carol Burnett
Now in paperback, the runaway bestseller This Time Together is 100 percent
Carol Burnett--funny, irreverent, and irresistible.
Carol Burnett is one of the most beloved and revered actresses and
performers in America. Her show was seen each week by millions of adoring fans
and won 25 Emmys in its remarkable 11-year run. Now, in This Time Together,
Carol lets her hair down and tells one funny, touching, memorable story after
another. Filled with engaging anecdotes about growing up poor; her remarkable
friendships with stars such as Jimmy Stewart, Lucille Ball, Cary Grant, and Julie
Andrews; and the background behind famous scenes like the moment she swept
down the stairs in her curtain-rod dress in the legendary "Went with the Wind" skit,
this poignant look back allows us to cry with the actress, rejoice in her success,
and finally, always, to laugh.

Bryan Batt
The Emmy Award-winning actor who plays Sal Romano on Mad Men offers
an homage to his mother in this charming and hilarious memoir about being
raised by an eccentric and very loving woman in 1970s New Orleans.
Gayle Batt is the kind of woman who wears black chiffon cocktail dresses while
eight months' pregnant. She is the kind of woman who says "yoo-hoo" and
"sweetie pie," and one who didn't let her husband's infidelity and alcoholism tear
her family apart. She is a true-to-form strong-willed Southern belle.
In She Ain't Heavy, She's My Mother, star of the AMC hit Mad Men's Bryan
Batt pays tribute in a way that any Louisianian will appreciate, and readers
everywhere will adore. Writing in a style that is equal parts inspiring, touching, and
hilarious, Batt chronicles his life--and his mother's steadfast presence--from
growing up gay in the South, to landing principal roles on Broadway and Mad
Men, to opening the ever-popular Hazelnut boutique in his beloved hometown of
New Orleans.

An unflinching, humorous, and uplifting memoir about food, love, body

Based on Kim Brittingham's popular blog and widely publicized essay "Fat Is

how Brittingham learned to ditch dieting, love her body, and live life large. She
openly explores her complex relationships with food and dieting (from the earliest
age she turned to pastries in times of trouble), sex and dating (she almost always

Peter Buffett
From the son of Warren Buffett, a warm, witty, inspirational, bestselling
book that encourages us to take chances while maintaining a core of strong
values.
Most people probably think that having billionaire investor Warren Buffett as a
father makes life easy. But, as Peter Buffett learned and shares, personal success
is about building your own character, not simply using a family platform to get
ahead.
In Life Is What You Make It, Peter Buffett, a musician and composer, shares
the important lessons learned from his parents, an upbringing based on instilling
honorable values and cultivating self-reliance. He explains the reasoning behind
his father's decision not to give his children an inheritance, imparting how
important it is for each person to define his or her own path, regardless of their

Lawrence E. Joseph
In his follow-up to the highly successful Apocalypse 2012, Lawrence Joseph
asseses the risks and proposes strategies to prevent and control the
damage done to our planet and our daily lives in the aftermath of the likely
apocalyspe.
In Apocalyspe 2012, Joseph appraised the likelihood of planet-wide
catastrophe in 2012. Now, he answers the most pressing question to arise from
the investigation: What do we do about it all? Written in the same wry, entertaining
style as Apocalypse 2012, Aftermath brings together investigative reportage,
historical research, scenario planning, and practical advice to help control the
damage should the world as we know it end in 2012. Joseph analyzes the

Tobe Hooper
From legendary horror director Tobe Hooper comes a horror novel that
mixes fact and fiction to tell the story of what happens when one of
Hooper's films causes a strange contagion to spread across America,
forcing Hooper to delve into long-forgotten corners of his past to save
thousands of lives and solve the mystery.
As Midnight Movie opens, Tobe Hooper is attending a festival screening of his
"lost" film, a movie that Tobe wrote and directed when he was 15 years old and
that hasn't seen the light of day for more than 30 years. Over the coming days,
Tobe learns that terrifying, seemingly supernatural events are befalling all those
who saw the movie that night. Soon, the audience members' friends are affected,
too. And their friends. And their friends. The effects are growing exponentially, and
before long, people are dying by the thousands.
Suspecting that the solution to the movie's strange power lies in his own past,
Tobe begins a desperate cross-country quest to understand the film's 30-year-old
origins... and come to terms with his own secrets.

Record
Leslie Kean
The New York Times bestseller. Impeccably researched by veteran
journalist Leslie Kean, this fascinating journalistic endeavor reads like the
best science fiction and investigates the existence of--and government
reactions to--UFOs.
Ten years ago, investigative journalist Leslie Kean received a French military
document about the existence of UFOs and their impact on French national
security. What she learned from this report--a study in which scientists, space
experts, and French Air Force generals ultimately concluded that the only logical
explanation for dozens of encounters with unidentified flying objects was that they
were extraterrestrial--changed the course of her life.
In the years since she received that report, Leslie Kean has followed the facts.
They have led her to NASA officials, U.S. Air Force generals, a former U.S.
governor, a former head of the Federal Aviation Administration's Accidents and
Investigations Division, and government officials from around the world. Now, for
the first time in one place, these experts tell of their own shocking, incredible, and
nearly unbelievable first-person accounts with UFOs.

God in Action
How Living the Faith Can Solve the Extraordinary
Challenges Facing Us Today
Francis Cardinal George, O.M.I.
An important new work on faith and politics from the leading Catholic
intellectual in the United States.
A bracing manifesto from an author unafraid to tackle the moral questions
dividing American public life. In this book Cardinal George defines a unique
American Catholic conscience and discusses the social and political
responsibilities that Catholics need to embrace. Additionally, he looks closely at
contemporary America and the world at large to identify and explain where and
how God is at work today. God in Action should prove indispensable for
stimulating debate as candidates for the 2012 election begin to jockey for position.
Key Points/Quotes
Author: As the president of the U.S. Council of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) and the
Archbishop of Chicago, one of the largest Catholic diocese in the United States, Cardinal
George is one of America's most powerful and influential Catholic leaders. Further,
despite America's large Catholic population, the Church's leadership surprisingly lacks a
figurehead speaker in the media--with God in Action Cardinal George will fill this vacuum,
making him a lightning rod for attention.
ON SALE 5/3/2011 Topic: God in Action will focus on religion and public policy issues, including religious
DOUBLEDAY RELIGION liberty, war, bioethics, law, trade, business, and immigration, reaching the same
HARDCOVER audience that embraced Render Unto Caesar by Archbishop Charles Chaput.
Regional appeal: In addition to George's appeal as a national figure, this book will be
strong in particular regions, such as Chicago and Washington, D.C., home to the USCCB.

Ronald Rolheiser
The bestselling author of The Holy Longing presents his first book about
one of the most important aspects of faith for hundreds of millions of
Christians, the Eucharist. Perfect for the Catholic market and the author's
established readership, it has also been written with an understanding and
respect for other Eucharistic denominations, such as Lutheran,
Episcopalian, Methodist, and many Presbyterian churches.
More so than anything else, the Eucharist is at the center of many peoples' life,
prayer, and ultimately the way they live their lives. While it draws upon the insights
of various scripture scholars, theologians, and church teachings, it is also contains
Rolheiser's own personal reflections.
Perfect for the Catholic market, it has also been written with an understanding
and respect for other traditions around the Eucharist, such as Lutheran,

Saints Preserved
An Encyclopedia of Relics
Thomas J. Craughwell
Saints Preserved: An Encyclopedia of Relics is the first grand-scale
consumer reference book on the subject of Catholic relics.
A relic is an object connected with a saint (e.g., part of the body or clothing or
something the person has used or touched) and is venerated by the Church.
Many are believed to have special and holy powers, and in this intriguing
compendium, Thomas Craughwell takes us on an exhilarating, and sometimes
downright strange, tour of the various articles that hold special meaning for
Catholics.
Key Points/Quotes
First book of its kind: This is the first comprehensive reference collection covering
relics in the Catholic Church.
Catholic weird: There have been hundreds of successful saint books, but none ever
such as this. These engaging profiles of the parts and things saints have left behind are
full of interesting information. Great for history buffs.
Over 300 entries: Includes information on the relics of many saints (of course), but also
other relics such as the Holy House where Jesus, Mary, and Joseph lived (currently in
Loreto, Italy); the Crown of the Thorns; the Holy Grail; the seven places that claim to

Books on saints are very popular: Includes information on a wide range of saints, from
apostles and martyrs to saints from Africa, Asia, and South America, as well as all of the
978-0-307-59073-2
saints of the United States. Each entry features a history of the relic and a brief biography
$16.00/$18.00 Can. of the saint as well as information on his or her feast day.
crown
difficult writer to understand, but with Ruden as the reader's expert guide, it
becomes clear that rather than an enemy of human freedom and dignity, Paul and
the Christian church he helped to spread represented a new alternative to old
ways of thinking, feeling, and living, based on the principles of human freedom
and dignity and the need for people to love one another.
Key Points/Quotes
Controversial: Bringing the context of the classical world to bear on Paul's writings, Paul

When Sparrows Fall
A Novel
Meg Moseley
A heartbreakingly beautiful debut novel from a remarkable new voice in faith
fiction, asking the question, what demons must a mother fight to protect her
children?
After losing her husband two years earlier, Miranda Hanford lives a quiet
existence with her six children on their remote property in the north Georgia
woods. She'd like nothing more than to raise her children in the peaceful solitude,
but the family has been long enmeshed in a conservative church community that
now feels more oppressive than nurturing. When Mason Chandler, the church's
charismatic leader, announces that God is directing Chandler to move the entire
state to another state, Miranda sees her chance to break away from the
controlling influences. No one is more shocked than Jack Hanford to receive a call
from his young nephew informing him that Miranda, the sister-in-law he has only
met once, has been in a serious accident and requested that he serve as her

A Novel
Kristen Heitzmann
From Kristen Heitzmann, author of the intriguing Indivisible, comes a new
suspenseful duel between light and darkness exploring how monsters are
not born and what happens when they are created.
When Trevor MacDaniel, a search and rescue volunteer, rescues a boy from a
mountain lion, he forms a bond with Natalie Reeve, the sculptor next door whose
unique gift is also a disability. Their relationship develops, but a reckoning draws
near for Trevor.
Drawn by the heroic story of the boy's rescue on the news, a twisted mind
recognizes its adversary in the first responder, seeing the man as an archangel of
stalwart size and righteousness.
The monster reenacts the nightmare that created him, hoping and praying
each time for a different outcome. Trevor MacDaniel, the perfect foe in
appearance, power, and righteousness, will provide the final test.
Jonah Westfall, chief of police, has not encountered a threat like the one
approaching his town, Redford, Colorado. But he'll do whatever it takes to bring it
down.

Christopher Yuan and Angela Yuan
Out of a Far Country takes a candid and very personal approach to the
ongoing debate over Christians and sexual identity. Christopher Yuan writes
as a sexually abstinent homosexual, and Angela Yuan tells the story of a
deeply conflicted mother who struggled with her son's lifestyle choices.
Christopher Yuan, the son of Chinese immigrants, discovered at an early age
that he was drawn to men sexually. A few episodes of adolescent experimentation
confirmed his decision to enter the gay lifestyle. Meanwhile, his parents struggled
with how to react to his choices in light of their more conventional worldview.
Christopher became a highly successful drug dealer, which led to his arrest and a
prison term. He became a Christian while behind bars, and when he was released
he sought a way to consistently follow the scriptures as a gay man. Angela, his
mother, also became a Christian and learned how to love her son even when he
rejected his family and its values. The solutions that the authors discovered will
surprise readers who most often hear only the extreme arguments on both sides
of this issue.

In this historical romantic romp from the author of Two Brides Too Many,

With the same fantastical, young adult appeal in Kristin Cashore's Graceling
novels and of Becca Fitzpatrick's stories of Nephilim, Breath of Angel will
connect readers with a strong heroine and sweep them into a thrilling battle
of good versus evil.
Breath of Angel immerses readers in a land of angels and humans, shape
shifters and sylvans, where warring brothers have destroyed the only portal to
heaven and stranded tortured souls on earth, and only one young woman--a
chantress--half angel and half human, can restore it. That is, if she isn't turned into
a lost soul herself.
Author Karyn Henley uses her wide and deep knowledge of biblical history,
myth, and language to craft a spellbinding story containing parallels to the
Genesis Cain and Abel account. Like other captivating novels of this genre, the
main character comes of age against nearly insurmountable odds, gaining
courage, discovering identity, and seeking to overcome evil at all costs.

A Novel
Sigmund Brouwer
In this blisteringly-paced novel certain to attract thriller fans who love
exploring the corners where spiritual conspiracy intersects with scientific
reality, The Canary List uncovers the fine--and fatal--line between the
physical and spiritual worlds.
When false accusations rip apart the life of school teacher Crockett Gray, his
only hope of redemption and of reclaiming his son is finding out who has targeted
one of his elementary students, twelve-year-old Jaimie Gregg, for death. But the
truth behind her gift and her abandonment as a baby is a secret that lies at the
heart of a centuries-old witchcraft conspiracy hidden within the Vatican--a secret
on the verge of destroying Christianity for believers all across the world. A secret
that will reveal our own realm is never safe from the other.

The Inconvenient Marriage of
Charlotte Beck
A Novel
Kathleen Y'Barbo
In the newest historical romance romp from Kathleen Y'Barbo, an heiress
intent on freedom strikes a bargain with a financially-troubled astronomer,
but their arrangement may not be as convenient as they think.
Charlotte Beck craves her independence, the chance to live her life as she
pleases, but until she is married, she's forced to stay under her father's roof and
restrictions. After his father dies, Alex Hambly finds himself responsible for his
family's financial well-being. Faced with a dwindling bank account and rising
debts, Alex is running out of options.
The solution to both their problems, Charlotte realizes, is a "marriage of
convenience." Alex will have access to Charlotte's substantial inheritance in
exchange for allowing her to live her own life. But when Alex sets out to win his
wife for real, Charlotte finds her marriage has suddenly become very inconvenient
indeed.

Restless in Carolina
A Novel
Tamara Leigh
A sassy, southern novel about a plucky widowed crusader bucking
convention to go green and finding love is truly eco-friendly.
Restless in Carolina, the final book in the Southern Discomfort series, focuses
on opossum-toting environmentalist Bridget Pickwick-Buchanan, who has found a
new cause. Refusing to stand by while her family's estate is sold to the highest
bidder, she sets her sights on J.C. Dirk, an eco-friendly developer. Unbeknownst
to Bridget, J.C. has roots in North Carolina. In fact, a portion of the Pickwick
Estate was owned by his family before it was lost to Bridget's great grandfather in
a rigged poker game. Thus, J.C. is very interested in helping out this damsel in
distress, and if she wants to be believe he's doing it out of the goodness of his
heart, all the better. What neither Bridget nor J.C. count on is falling for each
other--or the obstacles that keep them apart.

Kay Arthur
Life rarely turns out the way we plan, but what if our disappointments are
really God's appointments--events He is using to make His followers more
like Jesus?
Beloved author and Bible teacher Kay Arthur challenges readers to choose
between being defeated by life's disappointments or emerging from the fires of
trouble, pure and radiant--like refined silver. With characteristic warmth and
candor, she explores the natural human tendency to spiral downward from
disappointment into discouragement, depression, or even despair. Then she helps
readers discover for themselves the biblical truths that will help them break that
cycle, as they learn to embrace trials as the tools God uses to make each person
a reflection of His goodness and grace.

How I lost my job, buried a marriage, and found my way
by keeping chickens, foraging, preserving, bartering,
and eating locally (all on $40 a week)
Robin Mather
A charming ode (with recipes) to eating well and locally, on $40 dollars per
week, from a recently unemployed food-journalism veteran.
In 2009, Robin Mather found herself unemployed. She consequently moved to

local meals a day. In essays that chronicle a year of her ambitious project, Mather
explores the confusion surrounding local eating and examines how often we fail to
pay attention to the seasons that surround us. With 150 winning recipes such as
Lemon-Tarragon Pickled Asparagus and Greek-Marinated Grilled Leg of Lamb,
Mather draws on her rich kitchen knowledge, honed by years as a food writer.
This narrative-cookbook hybrid shares encouraging advice for aspiring locavores,
offering both the virtues of kitchen thrift and the pleasures of cooking well.

Low-Salt Cookbook, 4th Edition
A Complete Guide to Reducing Sodium and Fat in Your
Diet
American Heart Association
For the millions of Americans with high blood pressure and those who are
looking to reduce their sodium intake without sacrificing flavor, America's
most trusted authority on heart-healthy eating presents the revised and
updated fourth edition of their low-salt classic, with more than 50 all-new
recipes and the latest health information.
Most Americans eat more sodium than is good for them, often without realizing
how it may be adversely affecting their health. Over the years, the average
American's intake of salt has increased dramatically, in part because so many of
us have come to rely more on restaurant and processed foods.
Now, the American Heart Association gives us the opportunity to control how
much sodium is in our meals. With more than 200 recipes, such as Broiled Sirloin
with Chile-Roasted Onions; Garlic-Lime Marinated Trout; and Chicken, Barley,

Beaten, Seared, and Sauced
On Becoming a Chef at the Culinary Institute of America
Jonathan Dixon
For fans of Top Chef and Iron Chef America as well as Michelin
star-obsessed foodies who dream of becoming a professional chef, Beaten,
Seared, and Sauced pulls back the curtain on America's most revered
cooking school and shares what it's really like to complete the intense
degree program at the Culinary Institute of America.
Millions of Americans fantasize about leaving their dead-end jobs, enrolling in
cooking school, and becoming a chef--but how many would cut it at the cut-throat
degree program at the nation's top culinary school? For the first time in the CIA's
history, Beaten, Seared, and Sauced goes behind the scenes to give readers the
firsthand experience of being a full-time student facing all of the challenges of the
legendary course.
A jack-of-all-trades who had shuffled through a spate of pay-the-rent jobs,
Jonathan Dixon, on the eve of his thirty-eighth birthday, enrolled in the CIA (on a
scholarship) to pursue his one true passion, cooking. In Beaten, Seared, and
Sauced he tells hilarious and harrowing stories of life at the CIA as he and his
colorful cast of classmates navigate the institution's many rules and customs
under the watchful and critical eyes of the school's various instructors. Every part

For fans of the Schott's franchise, for those who liked the idea of The Book
of General Ignorance but admit that it was, uh, intellectually taxing, and for
anyone looking for a smart novelty book, The Hungoevr [sic] Cookbook
does for the hangover what Eats, Shoots, and Leaves did for punctuation.
Everything you need to know to assess, understand, and improve a
hangover is here: dozens of comforting recipes, very clever graphic tests for
analyzing your state of mind, and quizzes for tracking your progress.
A good hangover brings its victim to a new state of mind--and one that, when
looked at objectively, can be quite fascinating to its host: it can create an
increased awareness of the body, a willingness to eat something usually off limits,
and a fascination with the mind's strange acrobatics. With P. G. Wodehouse's six
hangovers--The Broken Compass, The Sewing Machine, The Comet, The Atomic,
The Cement Mixer, and The Gremlin Boogie--as a starting point, recipes are
tailored to each specific malady, allowing the reader to find a recipe (or just a
menu item) that precisely suits his state of mind--and body. Interspersed with the
recipes are mind games, witticisms, and graphic jokes, insights into hangover
science, quizzes to see if you are still drunk or now just merely hungover, and

Creating Collections from Vintage Treasures
Tereasa Surratt
For fans of Antiques Roadshow, Mary Emmerling, Country Living, and
Romantic Homes, Found, Free, and Flea shows readers how easy it is to
build a collection and display it beautifully through the author's own journey

Forty Years of Chez Panisse: The
Power of Gathering
Alice Waters
Before The Art of Simple Food, before the White House garden, and before
farmers markets and sustainable food were en vogue, there was Chez
Panisse.
When she opened Chez Panisse in Berkeley in 1971, Alice Waters thought of
the restaurant as a modest place, where her friends from the neighborhood could
gather. Now, forty years later, Chez Panisse is a national treasure, where the food
revolution was born and where new ideas continue to emerge.
In Forty Years of Chez Panisse: The Power of Gathering, Alice presents a
personal photographic history of the restaurant in its cultural context, full of iconic
pictures from the Chez Panisse archives and vintage menus from special events
throughout the restaurant's history. In her own words, Alice takes you through
each decade as she recounts stories and includes the voices of her chef friends
and admirers who inspired the journey, reflecting on the transformative power of
gathering around food. She marvels at how something so small evolved into an
international movement. Collected in one place, the memories, stories,
photographs, and ephemera in this book pay tribute to the roots of that movement.

for recording memories and milestones during her pregnancy.
The Nine: Pregnancy Countdown Journal is a chic and engaging keepsake
book that will appeal to women with an eye for style and a sense of humor about
the exciting (and bewildering) path to motherhood. Featuring nine colorful tabbed
sections to correspond with each month, the journal contains smart prompts to
help a busy mom-to-be capture important milestones and funny moments before
pregnesia (aka "baby brain") wipes the slate clean. The book includes pages for
writing about the first time you felt the baby flutter, prompts to let you vent about
any crazy (and unsolicited) advice you've been getting, and monthly "check in"
pages for belly photos and quick notes about life in general. The Nine is the

Teeny-Tiny Mochimochi
More Than 40 Itty-Bitty Minis to Knit, Wear, and Give
Anna Hrachovec
For advanced beginner to intermediate-level knitters who want fun, witty,
irresistibly tiny patterns to make as gifts for friends, cute accessories, and
decorative items.
In Teeny-Tiny Mochimochi, toy knits designer Anna Hrachovec presents more
than 30 super-cute, humorous patterns for miniature toys, plus techniques for tiny
POTTER CRAFT
knitting; ideas for using the tiny knits as wearables, decorations, and gifts; and
instructions on how to convert a pattern for a tiny project into a bigger toy.
Key Points/Quotes
Miniatures rule: Everything is more fun in miniature form. In the past decade, miniatures
have gone from a niche interest of dollhouse hobbyists to an international obsession.
Unique, fun approach to quick knits: There's nothing quite like Teeny-Tiny
Mochimochi on the current market of knitting books. With that said, knitting books
focusing on smaller, giftable projects that require little yarn and time are very popular.
The disarmingly cute, incredibly tiny knits in Teeny-Tiny Mochimochi will take this trend to
the extreme--all of the projects can be completed in under or about one hour, and one
skein of sock yarn can make dozens of tiny knits.
Tiny knits with a big online following: Fans of Mochimochi Land and Knitting
ON SALE 8/16/2011 Mochimochi as well as toy knitters in general will see Teeny-Tiny Mochimochi as a
POTTER CRAFT must-buy. Readers of the author's blog (mochimochiland.com/weblog) have already
TRADE PAPERBACK signed on to the "tiny knits" idea: The concept originates from a series of "Tiny Things"

978-0-8230-2692-0 photos of her tiny knitted objects, commenters literally began demanding the patterns.
