Hogarth
Dear Reader,
It is with great pride that we at Crown launch the Hogarth imprint in the United
States. If this unmistakably Anglo-centric name resonates for you, it’s likely
you’re acquainted with the Hogarth Press, which Virginia and Leonard Woolf
famously started in their house in London in 1917. The romance of their en-
trepreneurial endeavor is irresistible. An ink-stained Leonard laboring over the
hand-cranked press is wonderful to conjure. However, these artisanal efforts
were anything but obscure. Indeed, the work the Woolfs produced and sent out
into the world—Virginia’s own, T. S. Eliot’s, Katherine Mansfield’s, to name a
few—reverberated powerfully. Much of it endures to this day.
It is in a similar spirit of commitment and passion that we collaborate with
our colleagues at Chatto & Windus in the UK to publish an exciting list of writ-
ers for a new era at a revolutionary time in the making of books. What began in
London in 1917 finds a new life in New York in 2012.
And while we have innovated beyond the hand press, we are intent on lav-
ishing a kind of bespoke care on the Hogarth list. The books will benefit both
from an intimacy of scale—roughly four books a season, all fiction, will bear our
colophon—as well as from the legendary operational muscle and know-how of
Random House worldwide.
Hogarth’s inaugural list displays a staggering array of literary talents, each
one lyrical, modern, and worldly in its own way. With these four powerful novels—
I Am Forbidden by Anouk Markovits, The Watch by Joydeep Roy-Bhattacharya,
The Dead Do Not Improve by Jay Caspian Kang, and The Kissing List by Stephanie
Reents—we have the voice-driven, character-rich work that, in short order, con-
firms the scope of our ambition.
I hope you will enjoy these and join us in celebrating this thrilling new venture.

I Am Forbidden
Hogarth
A Novel
Anouk Markovits
The extraordinary story of a sister who believes and a sister who rebels, set
inside the most insular Hasidic sect, the Satmar.
Spanning four generations, from pre-World War II Transylvania to 1960s Paris
to contemporary New York, Markovits's masterful novel shows what happens
when unwavering love and unyielding law clash--a rabbi will save himself while his
followers perish; a Gentile maid will be commanded to give up the boy she
rescued because he is not of her faith; two devoted sisters will be forced apart
when one begins to question their religion's ancient doctrine. One sister embraces
and finds comfort in the constraints of the world she's always known, while the
other knows she will suffocate in a life without intellectual freedom. Separated by
the rules of their community, the two sisters are brought together again when a
family secret threatens to make pariahs of them all. Dark, powerful, and utterly
compelling, I Am Forbidden takes us deep inside the minds of those who leave
their restrictive environments, and deeply into the souls of those who struggle to
stay.

The Kissing List
Hogarth
Stephanie Reents
A bold, inventive, and slyly witty work of debut fiction about life and love in
your twenties
When Sylvie moves to New York at the age of twenty-three, all she can think
about is kissing. Who is kissing whom, she wonders, and are they doing more
than kissing, and when she meets the right guy, is a kiss just a kiss, or could it
lead to something more? As Sylvie and her friends navigate the treacherous world
of their twenties, more men are added to their kissing lists--the porn star, the
pseudo-intellectual, the creepy boss, the animal rights activist. But which kiss will
be the one to ultimately change their lives?
With sardonic humor and unexpected emotional force, The Kissing List follows
a group of women who take outrageous chances in life and love, and merrily defy
the expectations of parents and friends--perfectly capturing that harrowing and
thrilling decade in life when just about anything seems possible.

The Watch
Hogarth
A Novel
Joydeep Roy-Bhattacharya
In this powerful novel set in contemporary Kandahar, an Afghan woman
approaches an American military base to demand the return of her brother's
body.
At a stark outpost in the Kandahar mountain range, a team of American
soldiers watches a young Afghan woman approach. She has come to beg for the
return of her brother's body. The camp's tense, claustrophobic atmosphere comes
to a boil as the men argue about what to do next. Taking its cue from the Antigone
myth, this significant, eloquent novel re-creates the chaos, intensity, and
immediacy of war, and conveys the inevitable repercussions felt by the soldiers
and their families--especially one sister.

family living abroad.
Kate Moore is an expat mom living the expat life. In the cobblestoned streets of

Luxembourg, her days are filled with play-dates and coffee mornings, her
weekends spent in Paris and skiing in the Alps. Kate is also guarding a
tremendous, life-defining secret--one that's become so unbearable that it begins to
unravel her neat little expat life. She suspects that another American couple are
not who they claim to be; plus her husband is acting suspiciously; and as she
travels around Europe, she finds herself looking over her shoulder, increasingly
terrified that her own past is catching up with her. As Kate begins to dig, to
uncover the secrets of the people around her, she finds herself buried in layers of
deceit so thick they threaten her family, her marriage, and her life.

Acclaimed writer Jack Hitt thinks it's because we're all a bunch of amateurs.
America's amateurs are back at it in their metaphorical garages--tinkering with
crown publishers
everything from solar- powered cars to space elevators. In A Bunch of Amateurs,
Jack Hitt visits a number of different garages and has written a fascinating book
that looks at America's current batch of amateurs and their pursuits.
From a heavily tattooed girl in the Bay Area trying to splice a fish's
glow-in-the-dark gene into common yogurt (all done in her kitchen using salad
spinners) to a space obsessive on the brink of developing the next generation of
telescopes from his mobile home, Hitt not only tells the stories of people in the
grip of an obsession but argues that America's history is bound up in a cycle of
amateur surges.

author of the New York Times bestselling Julie and Romeo.
A mom in her early 50s, Clover knows she no longer turns heads the way she

used to, and she's only really missed when dinner isn't on the table on time. Then
one morning Clover wakes up to discover she's invisible--truly invisible. She
panics, but when her husband and son sit down to dinner, nothing is amiss. Even
though she's been with her husband, Arthur, since college, her condition goes
unnoticed. Her friend Marjorie immediately observes that Clover is invisible, which
relieves Clover immensely--she's not losing her mind after all!--but she is crushed
by the realization that neither her husband nor her children ever truly look at her.
She was invisible even before she was invisible.
Clover discovers that there are other women like her, women of a certain age
who seem to have disappeared. As she uses her invisibility to better get to know
her family and her town, Clover leads the way in helping invisible women become

On the morning of their fifth wedding anniversary, Nick's wife, Amy, has

story? As the evidence slowly mounts, and the cops' investigation deepens, Nick

The Reckoning
David E. Sanger
From the bestselling author of The Inheritance, the first comprehensive
assessment of Obama's foreign-policy challenges and achievements.
Just as The Inheritance took readers into the Situation Room during the Bush

years, The Reckoning will examine the decision making and key challenges in
Obama's first three-and-a-half years in office, from our role in Afghanistan to the
nuclear threats in Iran and North Korea, to the sweeping change resulting from
the "Arab Spring," to the deteriorating role in our relationship with Pakistan
following the death of Osama Bin Laden, to the ever-present danger posed by a
rising China, and the seemingly never-ending conflict between Israelis and
Palestinians.
But The Reckoning does more than simply describe the short-term crises and
long-term challenges facing a young president. While it is far too early to render
lasting judgments, The Reckoning attempts to answer the big questions of
Obama's first term: Did a radically transformed approach to dealing with American
national security and foreign policy result in radically different outcomes? Has he
enhanced American power, or did the combination of extraordinary fiscal
constraints and the president's natural caution squander it? This is a fascinating,

Summer vacation on Great Rock Island was supposed to be the time for Kate
to recharge. A year earlier, she lost her best friend, Elizabeth, in a sudden
accident, and Kate has inherited Elizabeth's lifelong diaries with only one, simple
direction: start at the beginning.
To her great surprise, the diaries reveal an Elizabeth that Kate never knew
existed. The ever-cheerful perfect wife and mother was also a frustrated artist with
a troubled childhood, and seemed to have come to marriage and children by
default rather than by design. The more Kate reads, the more she learns the
complicated truth of who Elizabeth really was, and the more she questions not just
their friendship, but her own choices as a wife, mother, and professional. When a
mysterious man's name shows up in the diaries, Kate finds her most fundamental

Twilight of the Elites
The Crisis of Authority in American Life
Christopher L. Hayes
An original, provocative diagnosis of what ails America from the most
promising political mind of his generation.
In his first book, Chris Hayes has written a wholly original and surely
crown Publishers
controversial analysis of the crisis of authority in American public life. Ten years
worth of scandals, frauds, and corruption--Major League Baseball, the Big Three
automakers, Enron, Congressional malfeasance, the near collapse of Wall Street
and pedophile priests--have resulted in a country that has entirely lost its trust in
the institutions and officials that once provided the moorings of American society.
Many Americans report feeling wronged or swindled, and a significant proportion
believe that the post-bailout society is fundamentally unjust. In just ten years, the
basic social consensus on accountability and equity has been thoroughly
destroyed, leaving the balkanized, toxic postmodern political conversation we now
ON SALE 6/12/2012 have. In the absence of the trust in our institutions that once grounded our public
CROWN debates, the system has failed. It is this fundamental but poorly understood failure
HARDCOVER that has, Hayes argues, become the driving force of American life.

production.
Beneath the gritty, urban shell of New York City is an uprising of local farmers
and producers, planting turnips on their rooftops and straining cheese curds in
their kitchens. While the city has historically been a center of food production, and
certainly an arbiter of restaurant culture, the rural, folksy traditions of making
moonshine, planting heirloom vegetable gardens, and cultivating honey are not
easily associated with New York's fast-paced lifestyle. But it is happening, in dimly
lit kitchens and vacant lots across the boroughs--everything from meat production
to winemaking. Here, the good food movement thrives; its legacy is extensive and
as varied as the people who champion its growth.

crown publishers
ingenious predators hunt the richest prey
When the Bayou Hedge Fund is revealed to be a massive Ponzi scheme that
has defrauded investors of hundreds of millions, its fast-talking manager, Sam
Israel, who hails from a wealthy family of global movers and shakers, seizes on a
plan to avoid a decades-long prison sentence. He commits suicide by leaping off a
bridge--or, at least, that's what he wants authorities to think. After a nationally
televised weeks-long manhunt delivers Israel back to authorities, the defeated
fund manager begins what figures to be a lifetime of incarceration. But not even
the Feds know the full story of what Israel was involved in, how his high-rolling
lifestyle and increasingly desperate attempts to conceal his hedge fund's poor
performance pushed him to the brink before the prospect of a way out suddenly
appeared. Salvation would involve the ultimate gambit, a roll of the dice with $150
million at stake, and a potentially deadly game of "who blinks first" with a
mysterious entity said to secretly control the world's financial structure. Written by

Double Cross
The True Story of the D-Day Spies
Ben Macintyre
From the bestselling author of Operation Mincemeat, another fascinating
work of popular history that vividly re-creates the vast web of lies spun in
order to conceal D-Day, the largest amphibious invasion in history.
crown publishers
On June 6, 1944, 150,000 Allied troops landed on the beaches of Normandy at
the astonishingly low cost of just 5,000 casualties. D-Day was a stunning military
achievement, but it was also a masterpiece of trickery. Operation Bodyguard,
which protected and enabled the invasion, deceived the Nazis into believing that
the Allied attacks would come in Calais and Norway, and not Normandy. It was
the most sophisticated and successful deception operation ever carried out,
ensuring that Hitler kept an entire army in Calais awaiting a fake invasion, saving
thousands of lives, and ensuring Allied victory at the most pivotal moment in the
war. This story of D-Day has been told from the point of view of the soldiers who
fought in it, the tacticians who planned it, and the generals who led it. But that epic
event in world history has never before been told before through the perspective
of the strange handful of spies--including an eccentric Spaniard, a dodgy Serbian
playboy known as Agent Tricycle, a Polish fighter-pilot, the hard-partying daughter
of a Peruvian diplomat, a pair of Norwegian adventurers, and a volatile

Shon Hopwood with Dennis Burke
Law Man is a memoir of miraculous redemption--the chronicle of an

crown publishers
descent from schoolboy basketball star to bank robber, followed by a
decade in federal prison, where he discovers a genius for practicing law and
uses it to save his fellow inmates by writing appeals that go all the way to
the Supreme Court.
Shon Hopwood was a good kid from a good family, a small-town basketball
star whose parents had started a local church--just about the last person you'd
expect to try a bank heist. But rob banks he did, committing five robberies in all
before he was caught and sentenced to a dozen years in prison. At twenty-three,
Shon feared his life was already over. Mortified by what he'd done, he vowed to
survive his prison experience and somehow make amends. A job in the law library
opened up new vistas, and soon Shon was passing along tips to fellow inmates.
Then came an all-but-impossible request to write a petition to the Supreme Court.
Shon promised he'd do his best--and in so doing embarked on an unlikely career
as perhaps the best jailhouse lawyer in American history. By the time he walked

Adam Carolla
In his second book, Adam Carolla--author of New York Times bestseller In
Fifty Years We'll All Be Chicks and chart-topping podcaster--reveals all the
stories behind how he came to be the angry middle-aged man he is today.
Funnyman Adam Carolla is known for two things: hilarious rants about things
that drive him crazy and personal stories about everything from his hardscrabble
childhood to his slacker friends to the hypocrisy of Hollywood. He tackled rants in
his first book, and now he tells his best stories and debuts some
never-before-heard tales as well. Organized by the myriad "dumps" Carolla called
home as a child--through the flophouse apartments he rented in his twenties, up
to the homes he personally renovated after achieving success in Hollywood--the
anecdotes here follow Adam's journey and the hilarious pitfalls along the way.
Adam Carolla started broke and blue collar and has now been on the
Hollywood scene for over fifteen years. Yet he never lost his underdog demeanor.

Fittest Men, and Discovering Myself
Rich Roll
The incredible true story of the author's remarkable transformation, at the
age of 40, from out-of-shape average Joe into one of the world's best
endurance athletes.
On the eve of his 40th birthday, Rich Roll was in bad shape. His days were
filled with work, stress, and junk food and his nights were spent on the couch,
remote in hand. Taking out the trash was the closest he came to exercise, and, at
50 pounds overweight, a walk up the stairs left him winded. He decided it was time
to make a change. After undergoing a diet detox, adopting a vegan lifestyle, and
pushing his fitness regimen to undreamed of heights, he was profiled by Men's
Fitness as one of the world's 25 fittest men. Among Roll's many jaw-dropping
athletic feats: he completed the unprecedented "Epic 5"--five back-to-back
Ironman-distance triathlons on five different Hawaiian islands in under a week--an
achievement many said was impossible. This is the story of that remarkable
transformation, a complete physical and spiritual rejuvenation that proves that
anyone can "find ultra" if they know how.

Liz Mohn
"You always saw the world as your workplace."
In 2009, this was how Reinhard Mohn--the man who turned Bertelsmann AG
from an unremarkable, postwar German business into a successful, international
media conglomerate--described the professional dedication of his wife, Liz Mohn.
Born into a seemingly hopeless world, this girl from Wiedenbrück, Germany, grew
into a proactive woman who, following her late husband's death, now represents
the fifth generation of Bertelsmann's ownership. She sits on the company's
supervisory board, where for decades she has brought unconventional ideas to a
traditional media empire, and she also serves as vice chairwoman of the
Bertelsmann Foundation's executive board.
In her new book, Key Moments, Mohn tells her remarkable personal history,
recalling with great candor the difficult early years in Gütersloh and how she grew
into her role at the side of her influential husband. She met challenges with
curiosity and a desire to learn from her mistakes. Through it all, she followed her
life's motto: Try it. You can do it.

Muck City
Winning and Losing in America's Last Football Town
Bryan Mealer
The incredible story of a football team--and its down-and-out town--that has
sent more players to NFL than any high school in the country.
The sign that greets visitors into Belle Glade, Florida, reads, "Her Soil is Her
Fortune," and for certain, the loamy dark "muck" has produced bounties. United
States Sugar built its empire here along the banks of Lake Okeechobee, where its
cane fields stretch in every direction. And for decades, the black gold provided
much of the nation's vegetables, often on the bent backs of destitute migrants who
were slaves by any other name.
Today, Muck City, the town that sugar built, is where the Old South, urban
ghetto, and Third World converge in the far reaches of the northern Everglades.
Forty-five miles from the mansions of Palm Beach is one of the poorest places in
America, yet for years it has supplied one of the country's most commercial and
lucrative dream machines. In addition to sugar and vegetables, the muck is most
distinct for producing raw, explosive football talent.
And in that regard, Belle Glade is like no other football town. Its high school
team, the Glades Central Raiders, has sent more players to the National Football

League than any other school in the nation--35, with 5 of those drafted in the first

home its seventh state championship title. But beyond the Friday night lights, this

Mickey and Willie
Mantle and Mays, The Parallel Lives of Baseball's
Golden Age
Allen Barra
Acclaimed sportswriter Allen Barra exposes the uncanny parallels--and
lifelong friendship--between two of the greatest baseball players ever to take
the field.
Culturally, Mickey Mantle and Willie Mays were light years apart. Yet they were
nearly the same age, almost the same size, and came to New York at the same
time. They possessed virtually the same talents, and played the same position.
They were both products of generations of baseball-playing families, for whom the
game was the only escape from a lifetime of brutal manual labor. Both were nearly
crushed by the weight of the outsized expectations placed on them, first by their
families and later by America. Both lived secret lives far different from those their
fans knew. What their fans also didn't know was that the two men shared a close
personal friendship--and that each was the only man who could truly understand
the other's experience.

Ten Management Rules

From the greatest business leader you've never heard of comes a
remarkable book that will forever change the way you think about

The meteoric rise of UK supermarket chain Tesco from humble beginnings to
its current status as the second largest retailer in the world (behind only Wal-Mart)
can be largely credited to one man--its recently departed CEO, Sir Terry Leahy.
One of the world's most admired management thinkers, Leahy, in his 14-year stint
at Tesco's helm, grew the company into the UK's most dominant supermarket
chain and the 2nd largest retailer in the world (1/7th of all British spending on
consumer goods in 2010 went to Tesco), doubled the company's profits (revenue

Dark Pools
The Rise of Artificially Intelligent Trading Machines and
the Looming Threat to Wall Street
Scott Patterson
From the author of The Quants, the New York Times bestseller about the
rise of math-driven trading, Dark Pools chronicles the next-generation
threat: Wall Street's growing embrace of artificial intelligence and the
chilling prospect that soon so much of the trading process will be ceded to
computers that humans will cease to know exactly what is going on--or what
could happen.
In Dark Pools, former Wall Street Journal reporter Scott Patterson shows that
the insane quest for speed is completely transforming stock trades (one company
just spent $300 million to gain 3 millionths of a second), and that, past a certain
point, the ability of humans to maintain control breaks down. Moreover, there's an
even bigger game afoot - the quest to build automated trading machines that
completely eliminate the market's riskiest and most fickle influence: people. The
idea is to create a program that learns from each trade it processes, to create, in
effect, a "robot version of Warren Buffett"--but one whose knowledge never peaks.

The 4% Solution
How to Unleash the Economic Boom America Needs in
the Twenty-First Century
George W. Bush Institute Edited by Brendan Miniter
Foreword by President George W. Bush Introduction
by James K. Glassman
A blueprint for restoring America to good economic health.
The United States is sailing in uncharted economic waters, and there is a great
debate under way about what course to take. Statistics paint a stark picture. One
in four Americans owes more on his home than it is worth. Unemployment has
been hovering around 9 percent, and, worse, for the long term, the Congressional
Budget Office is projecting a sustainable growth rate of only 2.3 percent--a full
percentage point below the average for the past 60 years.
The 4% Solution establishes a shining, positive goal and then asks some of the
top minds in economics to find ways to achieve it. The goal is a GDP growth rate
of 4 percent--and there is no reason we can't do it again. The 4% Solution will
draw on some of the most respected economic thinkers in the country and offer
nonpartisan, if also unflinching, ideas on how to grow strongly once more.

They draw connections between the Obama administration and progressive

YORK TIMES
BESTSELLER
Erik Larson
The #1 New York Times bestseller, hailed as "by far Larson's best and most
enthralling work of novelistic history" (Janet Maslin, New York Times).
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 family 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.
Suffused with the tense atmosphere of the times, and with brilliant portraits of
Hitler, Goebbels, Goering, and Himmler, In the Garden of Beasts lends a unique,
eyewitness perspective on events as they unfold in real time. The result is an
unforgettable, addictively readable work of narrative nonfiction.

Sandra Beasley
In this often humorous but always enlightening memoir, Sandra Beasley
intertwines her personal experience as "Allergy Girl" with the cultural
history of food allergies.
Sandra Beasley has had severe allergies to certain foods her entire life. When
butter is deadly and eggs can make your throat swell shut, cupcakes 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 coming to terms with a potentially deadly disorder.

A Novel
Chris Bohjalian
From the bestselling author of The Double Bind, Skeletons at the Feast, and
Secrets of Eden, a dramatic ghost story teeming with the colorful
characters, masterful plot, and shocking twists that Bohjalian's readers
expect and love.
In a dusty corner of a basement in a rambling Victorian house in northern New
Hampshire, a door has long been sealed shut with 39 six-inch-long carriage bolts.
The home's new owners are Chip and Emily Linton and their twin daughters.
Together they hope to rebuild their lives after Chip, an airline pilot, has to ditch his
regional jet in Lake Champlain due to double engine failure, and most of the
passengers die on impact or drown. The body count? Thirty-nine -- a coincidence
not lost on Chip when he discovers the number of bolts in that basement door...or
when he finds himself haunted by the passengers who died in the water.
The Night Strangers is a riveting ghost story with all the hallmarks readers
have come to expect from bestselling, award-winning novelist Chris Bohjalian: a
palpable sense of place, meticulous research, an unerring sense of the demons
that drive us, and characters we care about deeply. The difference this time?
Some of those characters are dead.

Ernest Cline
"Willy Wonka meets the Matrix" (USA Today) in this jaw-droppingly
cinematic debut that's part virtual space opera, part classic coming-of-age
story--and part brilliant pop-culture mashup
It's the year 2044, and--like most of humanity--Wade Watts vastly prefers the
online utopia known as the OASIS to an increasingly grim, poverty-stricken real
world. Like most of humanity, Wade dreams of being the one to discover the
ultimate lottery ticket that lies concealed within this virtual reality. Somewhere
inside the OASIS, it's rumored, are hidden a series of fiendish puzzles that will
yield massive fortune--and remarkable power--to whoever can unlock them. For
years, millions have struggled fruitlessly to attain this prize, knowing only that the
riddles are based in the culture of the late 20th century.
And then Wade stumbles upon the first puzzle. Suddenly, he finds himself
pitted against thousands of competitors in a desperate race to claim the ultimate
prize, a chase that soon takes on terrifying real-world dimensions--and that will
leave both Wade and his world profoundly changed.

A memoir that pulls back the curtain on America's most revered cooking
school, 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 cutthroat
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 in the legendary course.
Jonathan Dixon tells hilarious and harrowing stories of life at the CIA as he and
his colorful cast of classmates navigate the storied institution's program. Every
part of the curriculum is covered, from knife cuts and stock making to the many
timed cooking tests and the daunting wine course.

Bill Briggs
Part detective story and part courtroom drama--with a touch of the
supernatural--The Third Miracle reveals the secret rituals and investigations
the Catholic Church undertakes in order to determine sainthood.
In 2001, a non-religious handyman named Phil McCord offered a desperate
prayer at a convent deep in the Indiana woods. Hoping for strength to endure a
grisly operation to repair his eye, he instead awoke healed the next day. No doctor
could explain it. Many argued it was the work of the long-deceased founder of the
convent, who would ultimately be canonized the eighth American saint.
In The Third Miracle, journalist Bill Briggs chronicles the Church investigation
into the healing and offers a unique window into the ritualistic world of the
secretive Catholic saint-making process. With exclusive access, Briggs gives
readers a front-row seat as doctors are grilled about the supernatural, priests hunt
for soft spots in the claim, and McCord comes to terms with the metaphorical "third
miracle" and his own reconciliation with the metaphysical. As the inquiry shifts
from the American heartland to a jury at Vatican City in Rome, Briggs probes our
hunger for everyday miracles in an age of technology, the Catholic Church's

Lisa Unger
From the New York Times bestselling author of Beautiful Lies, Die for You,
and Fragile comes a thriller about broken trust that explores our faith in
those we rely on--and how that faith can sustain or shatter us.
Willow acts tough, but when she cuts school and sees a man digging up a
body while she's in the woods, she takes off running and drops her cell phone.
The man brings the phone back and introduces himself as Michael to Willow's
mother, who finds herself intrigued despite her daughter's overactive imagination.
Michael's mother disappeared decades ago, and he's hired a retired detective and
a psychic to help him find out what happened to her.
Based in The Hollows, the setting of Fragile, with the same characters
spanning both books, these lives collide--in ways they never imagined, with stakes
that couldn't be higher--in this complex, spellbinding novel.

A Thriller
Steven Pressfield
The bestselling author of Gates of Fire, The Afghan Campaign, and Killing
Rommel delivers a "thinking person's techno-thriller" (Wall Street Journal)
in this chillingly plausible near-future tale about the rise of a privately
financed and global military industrial complex.
It's 2032, and powerful, cutting-edge mercenary armies are the only means the
governments and corporations that rule the world have to control global chaos
and protect their riches. When the commander of Force Insertion, the world's
largest private military, launches an audacious, ingenious revenge campaign to
take over the United States, his top commando Gilbert "Gent" Gentilhomme finds
it necessary to launch his personally and professionally most menacing mission:
to take out his mentor. In this action-jammed, lightning-fast, and brutally realistic
high-tech military thriller, Steven Pressfield leaves the past in the dust to create a
heart-stopping story of very-near-future warfare and introduce a terrifically
appealing recurring character who is the last best hope to save the United States
from self-destruction.

Before Versailles
Broadway
A Novel of Louis XIV
Karleen Koen
Bestselling house author Karleen Koen takes us back to a place and time
where young king Louis XIV was just beginning to establish the strength
and wealth of his kingdom--despite the many forces pushing against him.
Louis XIV--the Sun King--is perhaps one of the best-known and most
glamorous monarchs ever to grace the French throne. But what was he like as a
young man--the man before Versailles? In 1661, 22-year-old Louis willfully takes
everything he can get--including his brother's wife. 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.
Meticulously researched and vividly brought to life by the gorgeous prose of
Kathleen Koen, Before Versailles explores the forces that shaped an iconic king
and determined the fate of an empire.

The Secret Life of Money in the Catholic Church
Jason Berry
An investigation of epic financial intrigue, Render Unto Rome exposes the
secretive and sometimes highly dubious ways the Catholic Church uses its
money.
Despite being the largest organization in the world, the Catholic Church almost
completely hides the way its finances are managed and dispensed. Investigative
journalist Jason Berry follows the money in this startling work, beginning in the
poorest parishes in the U.S., passing through the 30-room-single-occupancy
mansions of archbishops, and taking readers behind the doors of the Vatican
itself. In a character-driven narrative, Berry unveils the massive loss of property
and assets that continues to mount each day. Readers will see how the utter lack
of transparency with which the Church conducts its business will either force
significant reforms or lead to disastrous consequences.

For fans of Nicholson Baker and David Mitchell, a multilayered, lively, and

Centuries of June is a black comedy about a man who is attempting to tell the
story of how he ended up on the floor with a hole in his head. But he keeps getting
interrupted by a series of suspects--eight women lying in the bedroom just down
the hall. Each woman tells a story drawn from five centuries of American myth and
legend in a wild medley of styles and voices.
Centuries of June is a romp through history, a madcap murder mystery, an
existential ghost story, and a stunning tour de force at once ingenious, sexy,

to discuss the hypersensitive political correctness of the left and right that makes
so many topics off-limits in discussions or debates because they are seen as a
sort of political third rail. Among the issues Juan tackles: racial profiling, the lack
of reasoned political debate, national security vs. individual rights, abortion,
immigration vs. assimilation, the limits of free speech, the professional
provocateurs.

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 spouses, become wildly jealous for no good reason,
be fooled by people in power, and exhibit many more of the puzzling
behaviors that define us.
Our most commonly held view about "character," the authors argue, is
completely wrong. It is not a fixed set of personality traits; rather, it's a fluid state,
shifting constantly at the hands of subconscious mental mechanisms. 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.

Kristen Wolf
This provocative debut novel, now in paperback, centers on a very
controversial yet plausible question: What if one of the world's greatest
spiritual healers was not who we thought he was?
Anna is a fiery tomboy living in ancient Palestine, whose androgynous
appearance provokes ridicule from the people around her and doubt within her
own heart. When tragedy strikes her family and Anna's father, disguising her as a
boy, sells her to a band of shepherds, she is captured by a mystical and secret
society of women hiding in the desert. At first, Anna is tempted to escape--but she
soon finds that the sisterhood's teachings and healing abilities, wrapped in an
ancient philosophy they call "The Way," have unleashed an unexpected power
within her.
When danger befalls the caves that the sisters have made their home in, Anna
embarks on a hazardous mission to preserve the wisdom of her mentors by
proclaiming it among ordinary people. Her daring quest and newfound destiny
reveal, at last, the full truth of her identity--a shocking revelation that will spark as
much controversy as it does celebration.

Roland Merullo
A beautifully written coming-of-age story that 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, 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.

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.
"Why did you come to Iran, Mr. Roger?"
This simple, innocent phrase is what the Iranian secret police asked Roger
Housden repeatedly as they interrogated him. For the police, there was no right
answer. They were convinced that Housden was a spy and a liar, looking to sell
Iran's secrets to the United States or Britain. Not only is he not an international
spy, but rather a poet, an artist, a wanderer, a romantic, and a man of endless
curiosity. He had just concluded a journey through Iran to find the beating heart of
its culture and artistic community, the human and creative face of an ancient
culture that has been branded the "axis of evil." He had found what he was
looking for, and more. And in the end, he was saved from despair at the cruelty
humans inflict on one another by the beauty of the human spirit and what it is
capable of.

The Abuse of Science and Faith in American Politics
Jonathan Dudley
A fascinating exposé on the lack of theological, scientific, and ethical
support behind popular evangelical Christian positions on issues including
abortion, homosexuality, environmentalism, and evolution
Growing up as an evangelical Christian, Jonathan Dudley was taught that
abortion was murder, homosexuality a sin, evolution nonsense, and
environmentalism a farce. He learned to accept these conclusions as part of an
evangelical "package deal." Yet, when the author began studying biology and
ethics, his views began to change. He soon realized that what he had been told
about the Bible--and those four big issues--may have been misconstrued. In this
book, Dudley, a medical student, assesses the science and cultural factors
leading evangelicals to certain stances on each issue, shows where they went
wrong, and critically challenges the scriptural, ethical, and biological arguments

Keith Dixon
Now in paperback, a touching, insightful, and uplifting memoir, replete with
more than 40 recipes, that recounts a year in the life of a new parent
learning to cook for three.
Keith Dixon's hobby was cooking. When he had a rough day at work, he pulled
himself through by dreaming about the complicated recipe he was going to
attempt when he got home. All that changed when his daughter, Gracie, was born.
There was no longer time to indulge this passion, and when there was, he had to
learn to work around his newborn's schedule, as well as her dietary and
developmental needs. Sleep deprivation, baby acid reflux, and--later--a very
quick, crawling child were all ingredients he now needed to factor into his recipes.
Based on three popular articles he wrote in the New York Times, Keith tells the
story of the first year of Gracie's life, as he discovers what it means to be a father
while still holding on to what made him who he was before his daughter came
along. For foodies and parents alike, Cooking for Gracie is an irresistible memoir
of a family of three learning to find their way together.

may have finally found someone to love, someone who will protect her from the
abusive men who fill her past.
But Miss Baby and Laney are connected by a terrible crime and bit by bit, the

one another as the story is told through their first-person voices, which keep you

Lucia Greenhouse
A poignant, beautifully written memoir about growing up in a faith whose
followers don't believe in doctors--and how those religious values shattered
a family.
Lucia Ewing had what looked like an all-American childhood. She lived with her
mother, father, sister, and brother in an affluent suburb of Minneapolis, and Lucia
had no doubt she was loved and cared for. But when it came to accidents and
illnesses, Lucia's parents didn't take their kids to the doctor's office--they prayed,
and called a Christian Science practitioner.
fathermothergod is Lucia Greenhouse's story about growing up in Christian
Science, in a house where you could not be sick, because you were perfect;
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.
In this haunting, beautifully written book, Lucia pulls back the curtain on the
Christian Science faith and chronicles its complicated legacy for her family. At
once an essentially American coming-of-age story and a glimpse into the
practices of a religion few really understand, fathermothergod is an unflinching

and want to launch their lives in a new direction.

Mel Robbins instills readers with the courage and methodology to eliminate the

Step 2: Admit what you want.

Duncan J. Watts
Now available in paperback and in the bestselling tradition of Freakonomics
and How We Decide, Everything Is Obvious is a narrative-driven exploration
of how our common sense often fails us as we try to make sense of the
world around us.
In this provocative book, Columbia professor and principal scientist at Yahoo!
Research Duncan J. Watts shows us how the explanations that we give for the
outcomes that we observe in life are less useful than they seem. Drawing on the
latest scientific research, along with a wealth of historical and contemporary
examples, he explains how common sense, reasoning, and history conspire to
mislead us into believing that we understand more about the world of human
© Myrna Suarez behavior than we do; and in turn, why attempts to predict, manage, or manipulate
social and economic systems so often go awry.
Only by understanding how and when common sense fails, Watts argues, can
we improve how we plan for the future, as well as understand the present--an
argument that has important implications in politics, business, and marketing, as

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 hijackings 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.

YORK TIMES
BESTSELLER
Ann Coulter
The New York Times bestseller, Demonic is Ann Coulter's most
controversial and provocative book yet.
Sweeping in its scope and relentless in its argument, Demonic explains the
peculiarities of liberals as standard groupthink behavior. To understand mobs is to
understand liberals. In Demonic, you get Ann Coulter's take on:
Liberal Groupthink: "The same mob mentality that leads otherwise law-abiding people to
hurl rocks at cops also leads otherwise intelligent people to refuse to believe anything
they haven't heard on NPR."
Liberal Schemes: "No matter how mad the plan is--Fraternité, the 'New Soviet Man,' the
Master Race, the Great Leap Forward, the Cultural Revolution, Building a New Society,
ObamaCare--a mob will believe it."
Liberal Justice: "In the world of the liberal, as in the world of Robespierre, there are no
crimes, only criminals."
Liberal Violence: "If Charles Manson's followers hadn't killed Roman Polanski's wife,
Sharon Tate, Clinton would have pardoned him, too, and he'd probably be teaching at
Northwestern University."
Only by recognizing the liberal mobs and their demonic nature can America begin
to defend itself, says Coulter.

Joan Chittister
A new inspirational guide to the pursuit of purpose, happiness, and
fulfillment from Joan Chittister, author of The Gift of Years and one of
today's most influential spiritual teachers.
In our modern and mobile society, the range of answers to the questions "What
am I supposed to do with my life?" and "How do I know when I've found my
purpose?" can seem endless and overwhelming. Following the Path brings the
insights of her years of teaching and contemplation to bear on this issue, providing
readers with a new way forward. Through her examination of calling, meaning,
and change, she leads readers home to the place where, finally, we know we fit,
where we enter into our deepest selves and become a gift to the world.

called the Eucharist by the name Christians later gave to the latter books of the
Holy Bible. It was the "New Covenant," the "New Testament," in his blood.
Christians later extended the phrase to cover the books produced by the apostles
and their companions; but they did so because these were the books that could
be read at Mass. This simple and demonstrable historical fact has enormous
implications for the way we read the Bible. In Breaking the Bread: A Fresh

Richard J. Neuhaus
With this timely reissue, Image celebrates the 20th anniversary of an
important, classic work on faith and economics from one of the leading
Catholic intellectuals of the past century.
As pertinent today as it was when it was first published in 1992, Doing Well
and Doing Good argues that for too long Christianity has had nothing to say to
Wall Street or to Main Street. Some churches have blasted the greed of the former
or the bourgeois grasping of the latter. Others have insisted on a socialist
alternative. But the time has come, Neuhaus says, to stop such silliness. Drawing
on the writings of Pope John Paul II, Richard Neuhaus has written a classic,
groundbreaking work that unashamedly seeks to bestow a blessing on business.
The common good depends on it.

With the same blend of romance, family drama, and faith journey that
appeals to fans of Karen Kingsbury, Katie Ganshert's moving debut
promises to inspire tears and tug at the heart.
Bethany Quinn grudgingly returns to her small Iowa hometown to check on her
sick grandfather and offer condolences to her newly widowed, estranged best
friend. She doesn't expect to be there long, but when her grandfather dies and
leaves her his farm, her simple plans turn into something much more complicated.
Especially with equally stubborn Evan Price watching her every move.
Evan has run the Quinn farm for the past five years, hoping to one day call it
his own. So when Bethany plans to sell his dream, Evan refuses to let go without
a fight. He challenges everything Bethany has worked for and brings her
face-to-face with a dark secret that's chased her for the past sixteen years. With
Evan's unlikely assistance, can Bethany find freedom in the very town that held
her captive for so long?

A chilling tale of a young widow grieving a terrible loss, her longing to hear
from beyond the grave, an Old Ozark home--and a power that triumphs all
fear and death.
After her husband's heroic death in Iraq, Corrie Saunders moves into his
family's 150-year-old home. Grieving and ready to bury herself in the house, she
begins to experience strange occurrences which she attributes to her husband.
She forms a friendship with Eli, her husband's cousin, who is doing the
remodeling job. But Eli doesn't believe the entity is her husband. And the more Eli
is around, the more malevolent occurrences become.
Eventually Corrie realizes that if her late husband wanted to contact her, he
wouldn't use fear as a method. As Eli helps her, the two of them grow closer.
What started as a simple friendship moves towards something more. In the midst
of the budding romance, Corrie draws strength from Eli's deep faith and learns
that even smallest whisper spoken with faith is stronger than a maelstrom of evil.

Beyond Shadow BESTSELLING
AUTHOR
Sigmund Brouwer
In the tradition of Ted Dekker's The Lost Books and Michael Scott's The
Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel, a new hero arises--one that will
challenge centuries of Druidic power.
Since Stonehenge, the ancient and mystery-shrouded Druids have been
ghostly hunters, infiltrating the highest power circles of each new conqueror of
Britain. Merlin himself was a Druid, until rebelling against them. He established his
own line of descendants, bequeathing them the power and knowledge to hunt the
Druids.
It is a dark time in medieval Europe. A young man, Thomas, journeys to an
isolated castle, unaware of his ancestry, roots that stretch back to the Byzantine
empire. Thomas doesn't realize that he carries the secrets needed to reconquer
the castle for the Merlins. At stake is the direction of mankind's future because the
Druids have the ability to end all progress in science, medicine and technology,
thus ensuring the Dark Ages continue for centuries more.

Inspiration for a Ridiculously Good Life
Nick Vujicic
Life Without Limits is the inspiring story of an extraordinary man. Nick
Vujicic, born without arms or legs, overcame his disability to live an
independent, rich life that is a model for anyone seeking true happiness.
In his teens Nick Vujicic despaired about ever having a "normal" life, even to
the point that he contemplated suicide. But with wisdom uncharacteristic of such a
young man, Nick realized that he could affect how his life proceeded. Now 27
years old, he is an internationally successful motivational speaker, helping people
find the strength to overcome their difficulties, however large or small. He's
spoken to over a million people in person across the globe and been seen by tens
of millions on YouTube. "Often people ask how I manage to be happy despite
having no arms and no legs. The quick answer is that I have a choice. I can be
angry about not having limbs, or I can be thankful that I have a purpose. I chose
gratitude. You can too."

Making a Difference in the World by Being Different
Tullian Tchividjian
A bracing call for spiritual and cultural distinctiveness from a leading voice
in the "young, restless and Reformed" movement.
The author of Do I Know God? argues that young spiritual seekers thirst for
truthfulness and transcendence more than trendiness. Instead of trying to appeal
to cultural fads, say Tullian Tchividjian, Christians need to come to terms with
being out of style, with delivering a meaningful alternative to current cultural
assumptions. In tightly reasoned essays that hew closely to Scripture, the author
explores what "making a difference by being different" would look like in
community, lifestyle, work, money, relationships, worship and church.

Dancing on the Head of a Pen
The Practice of a Writing Life
Robert Benson
A new book on writing that enhances the reader's life, creativity, and faith.
Those who follow God seek to know their Creator, and as they pursue God
they find that faith and creativity are closely linked. God took immense pleasure in
creating the world, and he left his mark on every human by making us creative
beings. As God breathed life into humanity, he made even the ordinary aspects of
life a creative endeavor. For writers, artists, musicians, craftspersons, and anyone
who is drawn to a creative pursuit, Robert Benson's Dancing on the Head of a
Pen inspires, encourages, and instructs. As Benson offers practical guidance in
enhancing one's creativity, he underscores the life-changing power of effective,
artful writing. This is the most compelling marriage of advice and inspiration since
Anne Lamott's Bird by Bird.

Take a Walk with Ruth and the God Who Rocked Her
World
Liz Curtis Higgs
This novel approach to Bible study invites readers to step through the portal
of time and experience the day-to-day lives of Ruth and Naomi, gleaning
from their rags-to-riches story the assurance that God is at work to redeem
each loss and disappointment.
In her best-selling Bad Girls of the Bible series, Liz Curtis Higgs breathed new
life into ancient tales about the most infamous and intriguing women in scriptural
history, from Jezebel to Mary Magdalene. In her newest release, Liz offers a
twenty-first century take on the book of Ruth, dishing out meat and milk,
substance and style, in a highly readable, always entertaining, and deeply
personal journey with one of the Good Girls of the Bible. Readers will walk with
Ruth as she steps into a new stage of life alongside her brokenhearted
mother-in-law, Naomi. Rather than simply reading about these historical figures,
readers will hang out with them, share their joys and sorrows, and watch a
sovereign God at work in their hearts.

God of All Creation
Life Lessons from Pets and Wildlife
James Robison
God shares wonderful insights about Himself and all of life when we pay
careful attention to pets and all living things.
James Robison, the beloved cohost of the popular daily television program

the Creator by observing and photographing them. This inspirational, "giftable"
book will both educate and inspire animal lovers. A devoted dog lover, the author
tells a number of humorous tales about his beloved dachshund, Princess. As
Robison has examined the wonders of God's creation, he has found a deeper
understanding of the character and intentions of God--not just for the "beasts of
the field," but for every individual.

The Blessed Church BESTSELLING
AUTHOR
Robert Morris
There's no better place to experience God than in the loving, healthy
community of a blessed church.
In The Blessed Church: The Simple Secret to Growing the Church You Love,
Robert Morris explains why Gateway Church in suburban Dallas/Ft. Worth is one
of America's, largest, fastest-growing, exciting, and spiritually enriching local
churches. This related "next chapter" to his best-selling The Blessed Life explains
to church leader and lay person alike the qualities that make church "work" in the
21st century. Author Morris shows how every key component of the church can
receive God's richest blessings--vision/mission, church government,
preaching-teaching, worship, small groups, giving, outreach, and more. Rather
than bemoaning the decline and problems of the contemporary evangelical
church, The Blessed Church celebrates the expanding role of the body of Christ in
the life of individuals and their spiritual community, as the kingdom advances.

Thousands of ordinary people have shown that taking one small risk
achieves amazing results. Are you ready for yours?
Changing your life requires a decision to start doing things differently and then
acting on that decision. When you gather a small group of people who are
committed to the same mission, and when each of you begins by taking small but
significant risks, you will see big changes start to take place. And as you follow
God in spreading his goodness in the world, you realize that changing your life
benefits the people around you as well as the world around you. Spark shows
readers how to band together with a few friends to take small risks that produce
major results. Lives are sure to be changed--beginning with your own.

Marco Pasanella
Marco Pasanella's behind-the-scenes memoir through the world of wine will
captivate wine lovers and neophytes alike with its story of one man who
decided, at age 43, to change his life by opening a wine shop.
As Kitchen Confidential and Waiter Rant explored the front and back of the
house at restaurants, Uncorked offers a peek behind the curtain of the wine world.
Pasanella takes the reader into the underbelly of his store and the industry, which
is steeped in history yet fanatical about technology, and brimming with
larger-than-life personalities. Infused with rich details of his historic waterfront
building in New York City and his sojourns in Tuscany, Pasanella's memoir is one
of transformation through a project many fantasize about but few commit to. A

Paris versus New York Postcard Box
A Tally of Two Cities in 100 Postcards
Vahram Muratyan
A witty homage to both the Big Apple and the City of Lights, this collection
of 50 visual comparisons between the two cities will delight anyone who
appreciates well-observed illustrations of urban life (in the tradition of
Robinson's New York Line By Line, and Matteo Pericoli's New York
Unfurled).
Based on the blog Paris Versus New York (parisvsnyc.blogspot.com) and an
upcoming book (Penguin, Fall '11), this box of postcards is a love letter to two of
the most inspiring cities in the world. In his crisp, minimalist style, artist Vahram
Muratyan presents side-by-side comparisons of cultural touchstones such as the
Eiffel Tower vs. the Statue of Liberty, a glass of Bordeaux vs. a Cosmo, the
Baguette vs. the Bagel, and Jean Luc Godard vs. Woody Allen (represented only
by their iconic eye glasses).

Nigel Slater
The sequel to Tender, Nigel Slater's acclaimed volume on vegetables, this
comprehensive and visually stunning guide to growing and cooking with
fruit--featuring more than 300 recipes for sweet and savory dishes--was
inspired by Slater's backyard garden in London.
Britain's foremost food writer returns to the garden with another passionate
guide to savoring the best the natural world has to offer. Nigel Slater turns his
attention to fruit in Ripe: equal parts cookbook, primer on produce and gardening,
and inspired ode to his favorite fruits. The chapters explore 23 types of fruit and
offer enticing, delectable recipes such as Apricot and Pistachio Crumble, Baked
Rhubarb with Blueberries, and Crisp Pork Belly with Sweet Peach Salsa. With a
personal, almost confessional approach to his appetites and gustatory
experiences, Slater has crafted a book that will gently guide readers from the

losing your sanity in three steps: DO BETTER (discover the vital difference
between working hard and succeeding; deal with frustrating obstacles and stupid
people); LOOK BETTER (be visible but not annoying; build your credibility with
the people who can help--or blacklist--you); and CONNECT BETTER (develop
your network without being political). Patty's no-nonsense tone and concrete
anecdotes will help managers and up-and-comers alike improve their work lives

The fully updated fourth edition of the go-to guide for crafting winning
essays for any type of graduate program or scholarship, including PhD,

the ever-challenging and seemingly more impersonal application process for
getting into graduate and scholarship programs. The book presents 50 sample

You Are Your Child's First Teacher,
Third Edition
Encouraging Your Child's Natural Development from
Birth to Age Six
Rahima Baldwin Dancy
You Are Your Child's First Teacher was the first book in America to
popularize the insights of Rudolf Steiner, founder of the Waldorf schools,
regarding the developmental needs of young children. This revised and
updated edition offers new ways for parents and educators to enrich the
lives of children from birth to age six.
Since this book first appeared, the complexity and stressfulness of life for
young children has increased, and parents are bombarded by contradictions when
seeking advice on raising children. You Are Your Child's First Teacher is not just
another set of child-rearing rules, but a new way of seeing and understanding
child development--body, mind, emotions, and spirit--that equips parents to make
their own decisions based on cognitive and intuitive knowledge and to raise a
well-rounded child.
