Sincethey’re arranged from spring to winter (with a chapter for “anytime at all”), it’s easy to find the right mealsfor every season of the year.

Terry’s dynamic personality shines through on every page, particularly in her extensive introduction to theworld of whole foods (which includes a glossary of ingredients). This is certain to be the cookbook of thisand every season—the one that will help us make positive, sustainable, and yet delicious changes to theway we eat every day.

Terry Walters is a bright new voice for the nutritionally conscious and the nutritionally clueless,who answers everyday food questions in a clear and understandable way

Missions to the MoonThe Complete Story of Man’s Greatest Adventureby Rod Pyle, foreword by Gene Kranz

Missions to the Moon traces our quest to explore this final frontier, starting with the deadly development ofGerman V1s and V2s in the Second World War, through the pioneering adventures of the Apollo moon-landing pro-gram, and culminating in the future of lunar exploration with the recent missions by China, Japan, and Europe.

Through 150 stunning photographs and 20 beautifully recreated rare facsimile documents that almost makeyou feel like part of the crew, we witness the lethal Apollo 1 fire; celebrate the success of Apollo 8, the firstmanned spacecraft to orbit a celestial body; marvel at Apollo 11 and the first man to land on the moon; andshare the dangers endured by the astronauts aboard the ill-fated Apollo 13.

These are events the whole word watched in rapt attention. Now everyone can relive the experience or enjoyit for the first time.

The historic facsimile documents include:• Werner von Braun’s 1964 design for a space station• A 1969 issue of the USSR newspaper Pravda, celebrating the success of Soyuz 4 and 5• The official NASA photograph of the Apollo 7 flight crew• The mission report from Apollo 11, as well as the descent map• The Apollo 13 flight log• A memo outlining future plans for Apollos 18, 19, and 20 before they were cancelled• And more!

NEW IN PAPERBACK

The Real History of the American RevolutionA New Look at the Pastby Alan Axelrod

Ask most Americans why their forefathers started the Revolution, and they’ll likely mention“no taxation without representation” or the belief in life, liberty, and the pursuit of happi-ness as inalienable rights. But that’s just the start of the story, as historian Alan Axelrodso brilliantly shows in this eye-opening book. Axelrod offers a fascinating examination ofwhat really caused the breach across the Atlantic and how the revolutionary movementbegan. The American Revolution brought something unique to the world: an entirely newkind of nation, founded on a set of ideas. In engrossing, conversational prose, Axelrodbrings the birth of America to life by digging beneath the classically taught history toexplore everything from little-known facts to alternate realities, along with the eyewitnesstestimony, pop culture, and art of the period.

A solid overview that’s not academic and doesn’t talk down to the reader

Features a high-impact contemporary design

About the Author

ALAN AXELROD is the author of more than 60 books, includ-ing the best-sellers Profiles in Audacity (Sterling, 2007);Patton on Leadership (Prentice Hall Press, 2001); Elizabeth I,CEO (Prentice Hall, 2000); and What Every American ShouldKnow About American History: 200 Events That Shaped the

Nation (with Charles Phillips). He has appeared on MSNBC, The Discovery Channel, CNN,Fox, and numerous radio news and talk programs, including NPR. Axelrod and his work havebeen featured in BusinessWeek, Fortune, Men’s Health, Cosmopolitan, and many news-papers, including USA Today.

The Real History of the Cold WarA New Look at the Pastby Alan Axelrod

The newest entry in Alan Axelrod’s engaging, successful Real History series—and the only current illus-trated book on a misunderstood and mysterious topic.

From the fall of Nazi Germany to the fall of the Berlin Wall, a cold war raged between the US and theSoviet Union. Though not a shot was fired, the hostility between the two superpowers threatened theglobe with nuclear annihilation. Axelrod reveals the intriguing, suspenseful true story behind this globe-spanning battle of wills, and as always, he’s created a study that’s authoritative, comprehensive, and apleasure to read. Judiciously, incisively, he probes the pivotal events of the era: the Marshall Plan; theiron curtain; the Berlin airlift; the Cuban missile crisis; the rise and fall of Joesph McCarthy; the KoreanWar; the Vietnam War; the arms race. Rarely seen illustrations, detail-packed sidebars, maps, stats,quotes, alternate takes, and “reality checks” to popular myths make this a work general readers will turnto and enjoy.

Released to coincide with the 20th anniversary of the collapse of Berlin Wall in November 2009

Baroque & Rococoby Marco Bussagli & Mattia Reiche

An era of exuberant creativity is the focus of this magnificently illustrated, competitively priced new art book. Baroque art was char-acterized by unbridled emotion, intricate decorative flourishes, and a dramatic use of light, reaching its summit in works such as Bernini’smagnificent altarpiece, The Ecstasy of St. Theresa. Over time, thisrobust genre evolved into the more ornate and sensuously playfulRococo, a style epitomized by the opulent paintings of Watteau. Thisbeautifully produced exploration of both movements guides the read-er through more than a century of art history—exploring the lives andworks of sculptors such as Bernini, painters such as Watteau, Boucher,Rubens, and Hogarth, and architects such as Christopher Wren

More than 260 works—including paintings, sculpture,architecture, furniture, and porcelain—are shown inphotographs and impeccable reproductions

From Realism to Art Nouveauby Laura Lombardi

Trace the roots of modern art, beginning with Realist paintings such as Courbet’s The Stonebreakers and Millet’s The Gleaners—works that shocked mid–9th-century Paris with their unblinking depiction of the lives of the poor. As changing styles in art reflected the enormous changes taking place in the wider world,Realism was followed in rapid succession by Naturalism, the Pre-Raphaelites, Impressionism, Neo-Impressionism, Aestheticism,Symbolism, and Art Nouveau. From Realism to Art Nouveaubeautifully captures this turbulent era with an incisive text and breath-taking reproductions of works by Manet, Rossetti, Sargent, Monet,Seurat, Cézanne, Van Gogh, Gauguin, Rodin, Klimt, and others.

Nearly 270 masterpieces, impeccably reproduced,make this an outstanding value

Neoclassicism & Romanticismby Silvestra Bietoletti

Here is a rich, informative introduction to an exciting period in arthistory. Neoclassicism, which arose during the 18th century’s Ageof Enlightenment, was inspired by the rationality, simplicity, andgrandeur of ancient Greece and Rome. In fact, many of its greatestworks reflect archaeological discoveries of the time. In reaction tothis austere style, Romanticism sought to re-infuse art with passion,drama, and mysticism. Here are the key masterpieces of bothschools—works by Canova, Constable, Copley, David, Blake,Delacroix, Géricault, Turner, Ingres, and others—complete withbiographies of the artists, and accompanied by a text that illumi-nates the ideas and events that shaped an era of artistic ferment.

Nearly 260 masterpieces, impeccably reproduced,make this an outstanding value

Authoritative commentary by a leading art scholarexplains the historical significance of the works

Learning from the HeartLessons on Living, Loving, and Listeningby Daniel Gottlieb, author of Letters to Sam

In the nearly 30 years since the accident that made this radiopersonality and columnist a quadriplegic, Dan Gottlieb hasdeveloped a finely tuned quality of awareness that most peoplenever achieve. He became an outsider among us—“like a for-eign correspondent,” as he puts it—and here, Dan shares hisinsights into what it means to be human.

Written with humor, honesty, a gift for storytelling, and breath-taking compassion, Learning from the Heart looks at whatdivides as well as unites us: the problems of family life; diffi-culties confronting today’s parents; challenges faced by thedisabled and the aging; and issues of injustice that affect theway we understand the world and our lives.

Winner of the Books for a Better Life Award in the Motivational Category

From the author of Letters to Sam, which has been translated into over eleven languages

Ouija Answer BookLook into the Future. Have Fun!

The future is HERE! Modeled after the classic and eternally pop-ular Ouija board game, this fun answer book acts as a personal,portable diviner.

Each page features one element from the Ouija board: the lettersA-Z, numbers 0-9, YES, NO, and GOODBYE. Ask a question, fliprandomly through the book, and record the elements that comeup. They’ll spell out the response to any question imaginable:Who will I marry? Will I get the job? Will I be rich?

The Ouija Answer Book works on the same principles as the boardgame: no matter how hard you try not to guide the planchetteacross the board, your unconscious mind can’t resist. Similarly,your hopes and wishes (whether you’re aware of them or not) willlead you to the pages that spell out your heart’s desire.

This is the perfect game to play alone…or to share with yourfriends for a fun evening.

Fed up with fat-phobia? Welcome to The Art of Overeating, the anti-diet bible that’s chock-full of not-too-weightywisdom. It flies in the face (not to mention the sucked-in gut) of our calorie-obsessed culture. Above all, it findsthe funny bone in our culinary excess while offering reassurance that there’s no such thing as too much food.

Witty text and imaginative illustrations encourage us to dig in and enjoy our meals, while imparting essential tipssuch as “The best way to eat healthy is to eat in large quantities. How else can you be sure that you are gettingall the vitamins and minerals you need?” Interesting and informative food facts plus quotes from sources asdisparate at George Bernard Shaw, Tommy Lasorda, Julia Child, and Mae West (“I never worry about diets. Theonly carrots that interest me are the numbers you get in a diamond”) enliven the pages. The author’s wry stylemakes it clear she’s not endorsing gluttony but instead reminding us to have a little fun with our fries.

For those who love laughter, life, and food, here’s a treat worth indulging in—and it doesn’t even contain asingle calorie!

Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee: The Illustrated EditionAn Indian History of the American West by Dee Brown, with a foreword by Hampton Sides

For the first time: a full-color illustrated edition of Dee Brown’s classic history of the American West!

Eloquent, heartbreaking, and meticulously documented, Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee follows the systematicdestruction of the American Indian during the second half of the 19th century. Upon its publication in 1970, thebook was universally lauded and became a cultural phenomenon that proved instrumental in transforming publicperceptions of manifest destiny and the “winning” of the West.

Using council records, autobiographies, and firsthand descriptions, Brown’s work highlighted the voices ofthose American Indians who actually experienced the battles, massacres, and broken treaties. Here is theirview of the events that ultimately left them demoralized and defeated, including: the Battle of Sand Creek;Red Cloud’s War; the Battle of the Little Bighorn; and, of course, the Wounded Knee Massacre. Crazy Horse,Red Cloud, Sitting Bull, and Spotted Tail—the great chiefs and warriors of the Dakota, Ute, Cheyenne, andother tribes—come to life through their own words and formal portraits.

Now, hundreds of illustrations—including maps, photographs, sketches, and paintings—enhance Brown’smasterpiece, making it even more vivid and personal. In addition to the incredible images, this edition alsofeatures relevant excerpts from such highly acclaimed Native-American themed books as Where White MenFear to Tread by Russell Means, Mystic Chords of Memory by Michael Kammen, and Lakota Woman by MaryCrow Dog, as well as all-new essays by contemporary historians and Native American leaders like Elliott Westand Joseph Marshall III.

About the Author

A librarian for many years at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign,DEE BROWN was the author of more than 25 books on the American Westand the Civil War. His Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee, considered a classicin its field, was a New York Times bestseller for over a year and has beentranslated into many languages. Dee Brown died in 2002.

CameraA History of Photography from Daguerreotype to Digital

by Todd Gustavson and the George Eastman House

Cameras, and what they capture, forever changed our perception of the world, and of ourselves. Few inven-tions have had the impact of this ingenious, elegant, and deceptively simple device.

This gorgeous cornerstone volume, created in collaboration with the world-famous George Eastman House,celebrates the camera and the art of the photograph. It spans almost two hundred years of progress, from thefirst faint image ever caught to the instantaneous pictures snapped by today’s state-of-the-art digital equipment.

The informative narrative by Todd Gustavson traces the camera’s development, the lives of its brilliant but ofteneccentric inventors, and the artists behind the lens. Images and highly descriptive captions for more than 350cameras from the George Eastman House Collection, plus more than 100 historic photos, ads, and drawings,complement the text.

A foreword by the George Eastman House Director Anthony Bannon, and insightful essays by Steve Sasson, inven-tor of the digital camera, and Alexis Gerard, visionary founder and president of Future Image Inc., completes thisilluminating study of one of the greatest modern technological achievements.

A stunning volume from the George Eastman House,the most notable name in photography

The definitive book on the history of the camera

B Is for Bad Poetryby Pamela August Russell

Forget Shakespeare. Don’t count on Donne. Shelley and Keats: banished! And there’s absolutely no poet lau-reate from the golden or any other age. So fawning PhDs in love with little-understood verses by long-deadwriters should go elsewhere. This is poetry for the rest of us—bad poetry !

Pamela Russell’s unexalted (but thoroughly hysterical) poems mock, chide, accuse, tease, joke, undermine,point, and laugh at the world around us—and at anything that takes itself too seriously. Her non-canonicaloeuvre includes: Tea For Two (A Tragedy); Nietzsche And The Ice-Cream Truck; Capitalism Can Fall Not Like IFell For You; Inappropriately Touched By An Angel; Love Is Like A Toilet Bowl; and many more.

Who knew bad poetry could be so good!

About the AuthorPAMELA AUGUST RUSSELL started off her writing career in third grade when she won a statewide short-storycontest. Sometime later, she moved west to San Francisco where she created the Better Off Dead Poets Societywith her partner Alison Gallant. Together, they made their way through the spoken word circuit and garnered acult-like following. Russell was also a regular reader and host at the infamous Sister Spit in San Francisco. Shehas published short stories and poetry in several anthologies, including Virgin Territory and Nothing Moments.Russell lives in LOS ANGELES. This is her first book of poetry.

Renaissance GeniusGalileo Galilei & His Legacy to Modern Scienceby David Whitehouse

Four hundred years ago, Galileo Galilei first used the telescope to gaze at the heavens. In honor of that anniversary,as well as the international year of astronomy, this lavishly illustrated volume celebrates Galileo’s life and work.

Written by internationally renowned BBC science correspondent Dr. David Whitehouse—the world’s most cited science journalist—Renaissance Genius paints a fascinating portrait of the astronomer. Beautifully written,gorgeously packaged, and eminently knowledgeable, it offers a smart alternative to dry, academic studies of the subject.

Dr. Whitehouse invites the reader to journey into the world of the Italian Renaissance at a crucial time of change—when science clashed with a church still mired in a medieval mindset. He helps us fully appreciate Galileo’s revolu-tionary discoveries…and his role in opening up the cosmos to all mankind.

2009 marks both the 400th anniversary of the discovery of the telescope and the International Year ofAstronomy (www.astronomy2009.org), a global celebration of astronomy and its contributions to society

Features a beautiful, four-color design from the designers responsible for Professor Stephen Hawking’sinternational best-sellers: An Illustrated Brief History of Time, The Universe in a Nutshell, and A BrieferHistory of Time

About the Author

DR. DAVID WHITEHOUSE was a consultant to many space agencies and involved in several space missions. As aresult of his media work, he was invited by the BBC to become its science correspondent in 1988; from1998–2006 he was the network’s first science editor working for BBC News Online. David has won many awards,including a Glaxo for newspaper science writing, a record five Netmedia awards, and the very first “Arthur” award(named after Arthur C. Clarke) for space journalism. He has written thousands of newspaper and magazine arti-cles and two acclaimed books, and is a Fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society and past president of the Societyfor Popular Astronomy. The asteroid 4036 was renamed asteroid Whitehouse in recognition of his services to sci-ence and the media.

Weird LouisianaYour Travel Guide to the Pelican State’s Local Legends and Best Kept Secretsby Roger Manley, foreword by Mark Moran and Mark Sceurman

“Best Travel Series of The Year 2006” —Booklist

Your travel guide to the land of voodoo, hoodoo, and backwater bayous! Just hearing the name “Louisiana” is

enough to conjure up all sorts of strange visions in one’s imagination: haunted Old South plantations, French

Quarter mansions, and white marble and limestone towers that house the dead. And, of course, there’s Mardi Gras,

the most surreal and extravagant celebration in the country. Author

Roger Manley (who caught a “swamp monster” in the bayous

behind his family’s home) knows and reveals everything about

this state of the weird, wacky, and wonderful.

Atheismby Julian Baggini

Is a life without religion one without values or purpose? Julian Baggini emphaticallysays no. He sets out to dispel the myths surrounding atheism and to show how it canbe both a meaningful and moral choice. He directly confronts the failure of officiallyatheist states in the twentieth century, and presents an intellectual case for atheismthat rests as much on reasoned and positive arguments for its truth as on negativearguments against religion.

About the AuthorJULIAN BAGGINI is editor of Philosopher’s Magazine and the author of several bookson philosophy. He has also written for a variety of newspapers and journals, includ-ing the Guardian, the Independent, and New Humanist.

Buddhismby Damien Keown

From its origins in India over two millennia ago, Buddhism spread throughout Asiaand the world. This far-reaching and accessible introduction explains how Buddhismbegan, developed into its present-day form, and evolved in the West—where it nowexerts increasing cultural influence. Complete with maps, diagrams, and illustrations,Buddhism provides detailed coverage of key topics such as karma, rebirth, medita-tion, and ethics, along with the distinguishing features of the main schools.

Judaismby Norman Solomon

In his accessible, perceptive introduction to the central features and figures inJudaism, Norman Solomon discusses the religion as a living force, in all its contem-porary richness and variety. He presents spiritual leaders, poets, philosophers, andeven eccentrics—including the mystic who tried to convert the Pope—while alsoaddressing such questions as: How has Judaism changed since biblical days andHow does the secular state of Israel resolve the conflicts of “Church” and state?

About the AuthorNORMAN SOLOMON is a theology lecturer at Oxford University and Fellow in ModernJewish Thought at the Oxford Centre for Hebrew and Jewish studies.

Paulby E. P. Sanders

Missionary, theologian, and religious genius, Paul is the most powerful human per-sonality in the history of the Church. His epistles laid the foundations on which laterChristian theology was built. In his original introduction to the disciple’s life andthought, E. P. Sanders, whose research on Paul has significantly influenced recentscholarship, pays equal attention to analyze Paul’s gospel and to explore his funda-mental—and sometimes contradictory—convictions.

The American Presidencyby Charles O. Jones

Presidential authority Charles O. Jones provides a marvelously concise survey of theAmerican presidency that’s packed with surprising observations about the wayassertive leaders enhanced presidential power and how such factors as philosophy,relations with Congress, and outside events have all influenced presidential authority. He also sheds light on the political process of selecting presidents, fromthe days of the deadlocked conventions to the rise of the primary system after WorldWar II.

About the AuthorCHARLES O. JONES is Hawkins Professor Emeritus of Political Science at theUniversity of Wisconsin–Madison, and a nonresident senior fellow at the BrookingsInstitution. He has authored numerous books for academic presses.

The Crusadesby Christopher Tyerman

Crusading fervor gripped Europe for more than 200 years, creating one of the mostextraordinary episodes in world history. But were the Crusades the first steps in Europeancolonialism, an attempt at ethnic cleansing, a manifestation of religious zeal—or allthree? Bringing together issues of colonialism, cultural exchange, and economic exploita-tion, scholar Christopher Tyerman challenges our assumptions about the Crusades andencourages us to re-evaluate the relationship between past and present.

About the AuthorDR. CHRISTOPHER TYERMAN is a lecturer of Medieval History at Hertford Collegeand New College, Oxford. He is a fellow of the Royal Historical Society, editor ofOxford Historian, and has published extensively on the Crusades.

Historyby John H. Arnold

Do historians reconstruct the truth—or simply tell stories? Professor John Arnoldsuggests they do both, and that it’s the balance between the two that matters. In awork of metahistory (the study of history itself), he takes us from the fabulous talesof Greek Herodotus to the varied approaches of modern-day professionals. Throughfascinating and particular examples—including a medieval murderer, 17th-centurycolonist, and ex-slave—Dr. Arnold illuminates our relationship to the past by makingus aware of how the very nature of “history” has changed.

About the AuthorJOHN H. ARNOLD teaches history at the University of East Anglia, specializing in themedieval period and the philosophy of history. He has written over ten books, includ-ing his most recent: What Is Medieval History? (Polity, 2008).

Existentialismby Thomas Flynn

With its emphasis on individuality, freedom, and personal responsibility, existential-ism was one of the 20th century’s most significant philosophical movements.Through such writers as Sarte, de Beauvoir, and Camus, it influenced literature, thearts and humanities, and politics. Thomas R. Flynn examines the philosophy’s corebeliefs, focusing on several key existential themes, and introduces the leading exis-tentialist thinkers, from Kierkegaard and Nietzsche to Sartre.

About the AuthorTHOMAS R. FLYNN is the Samuel Chandler Dobbs Professor of Philosophy at EmoryUniversity and the author of numerous publications.

Literary Theoryby Jonathan Culler

What is literary theory? Is there a relationship between literature and culture? In fact,what is literature…and does it matter? These are the kinds of questions Jonathan Culleraddresses, and he illuminates a subject often perceived as impenetrable. In addition tooutlining the ideas behind various schools (including deconstruction, semiotics, struc-turalism, and post-colonialism), he offers insights into theories about the nature of lan-guage, meaning, interpretation, poetics, rhetoric, narrative, and readership.

About the AuthorJONATHAN CULLER is a professor of English and Comparative Literature at CornellUniversity and has authored many publications.

Philosophyby Edward Craig

How should we live? What really exists? And how do we know for sure? In this livelyand engaging study, Edward Craig argues that learning philosophy is merely a matter of broadening and deepening what most of us do already. But he also showsthat philosophy is no mere intellectual pastime: thinkers such as Plato, the Buddhistsages, Descartes, Hobbes, Hume, Hegel, Darwin, Mill, and de Beauvoir responded toreal needs and events—and many of their concerns shape our daily lives.

About the AuthorEDWARD CRAIG is Knightbridge Professor of Philosophy at Cambridge University, where heis also a Fellow of Churchill College. In addition to his role as General Editor of theRoutledge Encyclopedia of Philosophy, Craig has authored numerous books on philosophy.

Platoby Julia Annas

No philosopher has equaled Plato for the imagination and creativity with which he engagesreaders and entices them to join in philosophical conversation. This brief survey introducesPlato’s many-sided and elusive genius in a way that is both stimulating and accessible. Inethics, metaphysics, philosophy of mind, and theory of knowledge, Plato’s wide-ranging,bold, and influential ideas continue to challenge, provoke, and inspire us today.

About the AuthorJULIA ANNAS is Regents Professor of Philosophy at the University of Arizona, havingalso taught at the University of Oxford and Columbia University. She has publishedeleven books on a wide variety of topics in ancient philosophy—particularly episte-mology, philosophy of the mind, and ethics.

Galileoby Stillman Drake

In a startling reinterpretation of the evidence, Stillman Drake advances the hypothesisthat Galileo’s condemnation by the Inquisition was caused not by his defiance of theChurch, but by the hostility of contemporary philosophers. Galileo’s own beautifullylucid arguments are used to show how his scientific method—based on a search notfor causes but for laws—was utterly divorced from the Aristotelian approach tophysics. His methodology had a definitive impact on the development of modernphysics, and led to a final parting of the ways between science and philosophy.

About the AuthorSTILLMAN DRAKE was Professor of the History of Science at the University ofToronto. His translations of Galileo’s scientific works include Cause, Experiment, andScience (1981) and Telescopes, Tides, and Tactics (1983).

Gandhiby Bhikhu Parekh

Gandhi (1869–1948) was one of the few men in history to fight simultaneously onmoral, religious, political, social, economic, and cultural fronts—and to succeed inhis struggle. Bhikhu Parekh offers a brief but focused look into Gandhi’s life andthought, outlining his major philosophical insights, cosmocentric anthropology, spiri-tual view of politics, and theories of oppression, nonviolent action, and active citizen-ship. He also considers how Gandhi’s success was limited by his lack of coherenttheories of evil and of state and power, and how his hostility to modern civilizationimpeded his appreciation of its complexity.

Nelson Mandelaby Elleke Boehmer

A remarkable statesman and one of the world’s longest-detained political prisoners(1964-90), Nelson Mandela has become an exemplary figure of anti-racist struggle anddemocracy, a moral giant. This fascinating and uncompromising biographical study paintsa complex portrait of Mandela that goes beyond hagiography: it examines his quality ofcharacter, his theatrical flair, his maverick ability to absorb transnational influences, hissteely survival skills, his postmodern ease with media image, and his ethical legacy.

About the AuthorELLEKE BOEHMER is Professor of World Literature in English at Oxford and theauthor of several books. She has also published four novels, including the recent NileBaby (2008).

Marxby Peter Singer

Peter Singer identifies the central vision that unifies Marx’s thought, enabling us tograsp Marx’s views as a whole. Singer sees him as a philosopher primarily concernedwith human freedom, rather than as an economist or a social scientist. He explainsalienation, historical materialism, the economic theory of Capital, and Marx’s ideas ofcommunism in plain English, and concludes with an assessment of Marx’s legacy.

About the AuthorPETER SINGER is DeCamp Professor of Bioethics at Princeton University and a pro-lific author. He has written a major article on ethics in the Encyclopedia Britannica,and his book Animal Liberation has been dubbed the “Bible of the modern animalmovement.”

Economicsby Partha Dasgupta

Why are some lives—and some countries—so wealthy, and others so deprived? Thisapparently simple question is the starting point of Partha Dasgupta’s contemporary, intel-ligible introduction to economics and how it shapes our lives. Combining examples fromeveryday life with a global approach that considers not just the economics of the West butthat of the world’s 2.4 billion poor, Dasgupta reveals how economics can give us deepinsight into some of our most intractable problems—and provide solutions to them, too.

About the AuthorPARTHA DASGUPTA is the Frank Ramsey Professor of Economics at University ofCambridge. He is also a fellow of the British Academy and Royal Society as well as aForeign Member of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences and former president of theRoyal Economic Society and European Economic Association.

Manfred Steger presents globalization in plain,readable English as a multifaceted system encompassing global, regional, and localaspects of social life.

Mathematicsby Timothy Gowers

Mathematics is a subject we are all exposed to in our daily lives, but one that manyof us fear. Timothy Gowers’s entertaining overview of the topic explains the differ-ences between what we learn at school and advanced mathematics, and helps themath phobic emerge with a clearer understanding of such paradoxical-sounding con-cepts as “infinity,” “curved space,” and “imaginary numbers.” From basic ideas tophilosophical queries to common sociological questions about the mathematicalcommunity, this book unravels the mysteries of space and numbers.

About the AuthorTIMOTHY GOWERS is the Rouse Bell Professor of Mathematics at CambridgeUniversity and a recipient of the Fields Medal for Mathematics for “the most daring,profound, and stimulating research done by young mathematicians.”

Postmodernismby Christopher Butler

Christopher Butler challenges and explores the key ideas of postmodernists, as wellas their engagement with theory, literature, the visual arts, film, architecture, andmusic. By treating artists, intellectuals, critics, and social scientists “as if they wereall members of a loosely constituted and quarrelsome political party,” he creates avastly entertaining framework in which to unravel the mysteries of the “postmoderncondition” from the politicizing of museum culture to the cult of the politically correct.

About the AuthorCHRISTOPHER BUTLER is Professor of English Language and Literature at OxfordUniversity. He is also the author of several books.

Social & Cultural Anthropologyby John Monaghan & Peter Just

Drawing on intriguing, vivid examples from their own research in Indonesia and Mexico,John Monaghan and Peter Just examine ways in which anthropology has advanced ourunderstanding of human society and culture. They also provide a concise and accessibleaccount of the “big” questions that have traditionally concerned anthropologists: What isunique about human beings? How are groups of people—family, class, tribe, nation—formed and maintained? What is the nature of belief, economic exchange, the self?

Statisticsby David J. Hand

Modern statistics is very different from the dry and dusty discipline of the popular imag-ination. Author David J. Hand reveals it to be an exciting subject that uses deep theory and powerful software tools to shed light on all aspects of our lives—enablingastronomers to explore the origins of the universe, archaeologists to investigate ancientcivilizations, governments to learn how to benefit society, and businesses to run effi-ciently. Hand clearly explains how statistics work, and how we can decipher them.

The first fully-illustrated and

in-depth salute to the British Invasion

The British InvasionThe Music, the Times, the Era

by Barry Miles, author of The New York Times bestseller Hippie

In 1964, North America had a second revolution—but this time we welcomed the British! That year, fourmop-tops known as The Beatles made their first appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show, ushering in a newera of British music, film, fashion, and art. This richly illustrated and informative volume celebrates thepivotal cultural moment when the United States took on a British accent.

The huge influx of talent from across the pond included not only the The Beatles, but also The Dave ClarkFive, The Kinks, The Moody Blues, Them (and Van Morrison), The Yardbirds, The Who, and, of course, TheRolling Stones. But the invasion wasn’t only musical: Peter O’Toole, Julie Andrews, Sean Connery, andMichael Caine made a splash in Hollywood, while films like Goldfinger, Alfie and What’s New, Pussycat?topped box-office charts. The Avengers became cult TV, and Carnaby Street defined hip style, turning MaryQuant, Twiggy, and Jean Shrimpton into fashion icons.

Filled with photographs that capture one of the most exciting artistic periods in recent history, this is anevocative, irresistible look back.

More than 200 illustrations, including original era magazines

By The New York Times best-selling author of Hippie, which has sold 200,000 copies!

Decoding the Spiritual Messages of Everyday LifeHow Life Shows Us What We Need to Knowby Dr. Paul DeBell

How can science help us develop our deeper spiritual potential? This unique approach to the question, from atrained psychiatrist, combines spirituality with key concepts from modern psychology to help us overcomechallenges and become more perceptive, creative, and fulfilled.

Dr. DeBell draws on such rational tools as cognitive-behavioral and Piaget developmental psychology to detect anddecode feedback from the deeper dimensions in life. Contemporary, down-to-earth, and extremely practical, it showshow to bring spiritual intention to bear on daily routines and specific challenges, such as anxiety or depression.

A revolutionary new way to combine spiritual thought with psychology

A comprehensible look at a subject that is fascinating people today more than ever

Author is an expert in science and spirituality, with degrees in both religion and psychiatry

About the Author

PAUL DEBELL received his BA in religion from Oberlin College and his medical degree from Cornell MedicalCollege. He has lectured and conducted workshops on the relevance of our soul’s contribution to everyday life inhospitals and universities, as well as the United Nations, the American Psychiatric Association, The AmericanSociety of Clinical Hypnosis, and the New York Bar Association. DeBell also appeared on The God Squad (TheValues Channel) and on Blue Danube Radio in Vienna.

“If such incredible progress has been possible in

psychology, medicine and physics, why can’t it

be possible in spirituality as well? If we can

define laws that govern human emotions or

quantum forces, why can’t we define the laws

that govern spiritual forces….The time is right to

dare to think about making that progress.”

The Language of ZenHeart Speaking to Heartby Richard Burnett Carter

“God,” “Zazen,” “Void,” “Koan”: We may think we understandthese words. But what exactly do they mean in the world of ZenBuddhism? Westerners can have difficulty grasping the languagein the way the original Zen writers intended. This lyrical inquiryexamines the complexity of these terms, expanding your mind andopening it to the possibilities of Zen.

The first section provides brief explanations; the second part goesinto greater depth, with some words repeated and others new.Why can we recognize the words “dharma” and “karma” and notMahayana, the Greater Vehicle? In what way is the Buddha like ajumping frog?

Unlike entries in a dictionary, this lively conversation will animateyour thoughts and stir your sleeping consciousness.

Generously sprinkled with Zen poems and quotes

Illustrated throughout, this book is a visual pleasure to readand functions as an introduction for those new to Zen and anenriching addition to the library of current practitioners

The definitions were researched with the help of theInternational Research Institute for Zen Buddhism in Kyoto

Why a Curveball CurvesThe Incredible Science of SportsForeword by Robert Lipsyte, edited by Frank Vizard

Sports. They get our blood pumping and our hearts racing. Fans scream and cheer as their favorite athletesrun, throw, pedal, dive, or swing their way to victory. But what makes an athlete successful? Why do some play-ers excel when others fall behind?

In Why a Curveball Curves, the experts at Popular Mechanics, along with top athletes, coaches, and sportsjournalists, explore the science behind sports. Fluid dynamics, biomechanics, and technology determine every-thing from speed in cycling to protection in football to performance measurement in all sports. This book isdesigned for both the player and the fan, helping athletes become better-prepared and giving enthusiasts amore complete understanding and appreciation of competition. The issues discussed range from Tiger’s swingto Lance’s legs, from gene doping to the physics of why a seemingly straight kick curves drastically just beforeits target—in other words, how to bend it like Beckham—plus so much more.

Insightful foreword by award-winning sports columnist and best-selling author Robert Lipsyte

“…enjoyabl[e] …fun.”—Sports Illustrated

“This book is quite possibly every sports nerd’s dream…Read this book and you’ll feel smarter and betterinformed about the sports you watch or play.”

Live & Learn: Expressive DrawingA Practical Guide to Freeing the Artist Withinby Steven Aimone

The many people who long to draw—but feel too intimidated to try—will rejoice at the wonderful first entry inthis brand-new creative series. Written by arts educator Steven Aimone, it’s packed with solid, friendly, hands-oninstruction, as well as inspiring images, and backed by the trusted AARP name. Aimone teaches an accessiblestyle called expressive drawing that emphasizes line and mark, rather than rendering a specific object, which formany people, can create barriers to self-expression. Exercises start off simple and quick, encouraging readers towork on instinct and feeling, while the later ones focus on detail and refinement. The book features hundreds ofimages of work by well-known artists from Debuffet to Jim Dine—and each chapter includes a profile of someonewho came to drawing late in life and achieved recognition.

Branded with the respected AARP name

Combines a hands-on approach to expressive drawing with a coffee-table-level collection of “master-status” artists from various periods who work in this style

Aimone’s warm, reassuring voice, and his unintimidating approach, make learning enjoyable

Build Fun Paper CamerasTake Eye-Catching Pinhole Photosby Justin Quinnell

Even in the age of digital, we can have plenty of creative fun the low-tech (and low-cost) way: by building coolpaper cameras and exploring the fascinating world of pinhole photography.

Justin Quinell takes photography back to its roots by demonstrating how to create attractive pinhole cam-eras—that actually work. Instead of a lens, these cameras have a very tiny hole that “focuses” every point oflight passing through it onto paper, thus imprinting the image permanently. A CD, included with the book, con-tains seven templates for making the cameras; the guide provides directions and advice on shooting success-ful, artistic pinhole photographs in many different conditions.

Both beginning and experienced photographers will find these eye-opening!

A unique take on cameras that will appeal to anyone interested in photography

The cameras really work and use standard 35mm film

About the Author

JUSTIN QUINNELL is an expert on pinhole photography, and his quirky, experimental, and dramatic photos areregularly featured in international exhibits and galleries. Often unique and humorous, his images are taken withpinhole cameras that he builds and places in unusual locations such as inside someone’s mouth looking out, orusing techniques such as six-month exposures. He teaches at the university level in the United Kingdom and wasa consultant on the 2009 film The Brothers Bloom, which features Rachel Weisz as a pinhole photographer.

Black + White PipelineConverting Digital Color into Striking Grayscale Imagesby Ted Dillard

The fourth in Ted Dillard’s Pipeline series—cutting-edge books that detail digital imaging in the AdobePhotoshop darkroom—explores the most popular, time-honored photographic form of expression: the black-and-white photograph.

Dillard examines Ansel Adams’s legendary Zone System as the foundation of black-and-white photography, andapplies these tried-and-true fundamentals to the powerful imaging tools available in Adobe Camera RAW. Heexplains how to translate traditional darkroom techniques into the digital medium, and how the newest gener-ation of digital tools offers more control, increased power, and greater potential for expressing artistic vision.

Above all, Dillard creates an intuitive and streamlined workflow that gets the photographer from capture toprint while creating the highest-quality digital image. This provides the framework beginning digital photogra-phers need to create the kind of black-and-white photos they envision. Black + White Pipeline is a compre-hensive resource for the photographic artist who wants to combine the beauty of traditional black-and-whitewith today’s most influential digital equipment.

Interest in black-and-white digital photography is constantly expanding as technology and softwareexpand and evolve

Dillard employs high-quality techniques that create consistent results rather than “digital tricks” that compromise image quality

The Essential Gnostic GospelsIncluding the Gospel of Judas, the Gospel ofThomas, & the Gospel of Maryby Alan Jacobs

Gnostics were condemned as heretics by the early Church andmany of their writings burned. Today, thanks to books such asThe Da Vinci Code, they’re back in the public eye. These author-itative translations present nearly two dozen Gnostic works—including the Gospel of Mary Magdalene and The Gospel ofThomas—in an inspiring collection sure to appeal to modernspiritual seekers.

Alan Jacobs brings his unrivalled scholarship to bear on thesetexts, many of which address perennial questions of good andevil, sin and suffering, and the path to salvation.

A new translation of the most important Gnostic Gospels

Beautiful verse that richly captures the spirit of the originals

When Jesus Lived in IndiaThe Quest for the Aquarian Gospel: the Mystery of the Missing Yearsby Alan Jacobs

What did Jesus do in the “missing years”?Is the Aquarian Gospel authentic?What do the Churches think?

Did Jesus visit Tibet, Nepal, northern India, and Kashmir duringthe 19 “missing years” not accounted for in the New Testament?If so, it would have the most far-reaching spiritual implications.This remarkable book takes an impartial look at the extensiveevidence—in Islamic, Indian, and Tibetan sources, as well as themodern Aquarian Gospel and the controversial writings of theRussian explorer Nicolai Notavitch—to find a definitive answerto this tantalizing question.

VendettaHigh Art and Low Cunning at the Birth of the Renaissanceby Hugh Bicheno

In Italy, the Renaissance was more than a time of sweepingcultural advancement; it was also an age of nearly continuousmilitary conflict and vicious personal feuds between powerfulpublic figures. A lifelong vendetta pitted two of Italy’s mostprominent condottieri, or mercenary warlords, against eachother in a struggle that moved from the battlefield to the polit-ical halls of power to the papacy itself. Federigo daMontefeltro, Duke of Urbino, and Sigismondo Malatesta, “theWolf of Rimini,” were more than ruthless generals; they werecultured patrons of the arts who nonetheless took their rivalryto bloody excess. Here their story is set against the rich back-drop of 15th-century Italy, a sweeping epic of nobility and war,betrayals and vengeance.

“[A] lively book; [the reader] will be grateful for theinformative tables, maps and chronologies which punctuate the narrative at reassuring intervals”—BBC History Magazine

Sisters in ArmsBritish Army Nurses Tell Their Storyby Nicola Tyrer

The amazing experiences of the Queen Alexandra nurses during World WarII form one of the greatest adventure stories of modern times, yet until nowthey’ve remained largely untold. Thousands of middle-class girls, barelyout of school, were plucked from sheltered backgrounds, subjected tounimaginably tough training regimes, and sent out to experience theharshest conditions of the fighting services. Over 400 nurses died, torpe-doed in hospital ships, bombed in field hospitals, or murdered in Japaneseprison camps. Dozens won medals for gallantry. From the beaches ofDunkirk, to Singapore and D-Day, they saw it all. This is their story.

“Tyrer’s prose, stripped of purple passage or poetic flourish,reflects a brisk journalistic commitment to gathering the lasttestimonies in a tale well worth telling.” —The Times

Testament of Youthby Vera Brittain

In 1914, just as war was declared, 20 year-old Vera Brittain was preparing tostudy at Oxford. Four years later, her life—and that of her whole generation—had been irrevocably changed in a way that no one could have imagined inthe tranquil pre-war era. Testament of Youth is Brittain’s account of how shelost the man she loved, nursed the wounded, survived those agonizing years,and emerged into an altered world. A passionate record of a lost generation,it made Brittain one of the best-loved writers of her time. It still retains thepower to shock, move, and enthrall readers today.

“A haunting elegy for a lost generation.” —The Times

“A unique record of one woman’s experience of twenty-five of the most cataclysmic years in modern times.” —TLS

“[T]he most eloquent and moving expression of the suffering andbereavement inflicted by the 1914-18 conflict.” —Guardian

England’s Last War Against FranceFighting Vichy 1940–1942by Colin Smith

The last shots fired between England and France weren’t dur-ing the Napoleonic Age, but rather during World War II, whenVichy, France was left unoccupied by the Nazi regime in returnfor their collaboration. For more than two years, from the sum-mer of 1940 through November of 1942, British forcesengaged the Vichy French on land, sea and air. Thousands oflives were lost, and the history of this conflict was buried—until now. Through painstaking historical research, historianColin Smith throws back the veil of secrecy to detail this lastbloody conflict between modern Europe’s great powers.

Praise for Colin Smith:

“An excellent book, unfailingly well written.”—Sir John Keegan, in London’s Daily Telegraph,for Alamein: War Without Hate.

“A magisterial account of the British retreat in Malay...unforgettably well told.” —Observer for Singapore Burning.

Queens ConsortEngland’s Medieval Queensby Lisa Hilton

Occupying a unique position in the mercurial, often violentworld of medieval state-craft, England’s medieval queens wereelemental in shaping the history of the monarchy and thenation. Lisa Hilton’s meticulously researched new work exploresthe lives of the 20 women crowned between 1066 and 1503.She reconsiders the fictions surrounding well-known figureslike Eleanor of Aquitaine, illuminates the lives of forgottenqueens such as Adeliza of Louvain, and shows why they all hadto negotiate a role that combined tremendous influence withterrifying vulnerability. The result is a provocative and dramaticnarrative that redefines English history.

The Voyages of Captain Cook101 Questions and Answers about the Explorer and His Three Great Scientific Expeditionsby Anthony Cornish

Captain James Cook is probably the most famous explorer of all time: he discovered and charted numerous

lands, and his three Pacific voyages of discovery set new standards in navigation, surveying, and shipboard

health. While many books have examined Cook’s expeditions and maritime career, this is the first to

approach them from the perspective of a curious, rather than scholarly, reader.

This concise and readable guide, in the 101 Questions and Answers format, deals with such diverse yet fre-

quently asked questions as: How many ships took part in the voyages? What were Cook’s secret instructions?

Did Cook discover Antarctica? Contemporary paintings, charts, and other images illustrate key points.

100 Chinese CharactersLanguage, Art and Symbols from the Land of the Dragonby Ni Yibin

Chinese characters captivate as much with their artistic expressiveness as with their fascinating layers ofmeaning: they are written reflections of a unique and beguiling culture. Drawing upon the latest scholarship,this book gathers 100 of the most significant sinographs, placing them within their historical, artistic, and cul-tural contexts. Each word is traced through the ages, from picture drawings to multifaceted modern charac-ters, and every entry explores the characters’ significance in Chinese culture, from words such as dragon,phoenix, mountain, and heaven to abstract concepts of love, truth, wisdom, and luck. Superb calligraphyaccompanies the text–often shown full-page for impact—along with lavish reproductions of Chinese brushpaintings, scrolls, ceramics, and textiles.

Silk cover with gold blocking and clear PVC dust jacket

Much more than a book about language: the characters are windows into Chinese culture and history

Reveals some of the most appealing intricacies of this ancient language

About the Author

NI YIBIN is a former Assistant Professor of Chinese Art and Culture at the National University of Singapore. He isnow a freelance writer and journalist who has contributed to numerous publications, including The SeventyWonders of China and China (Duncan Baird, 2005).

The Complete Prophecies of Nostradamusby Mario Reading

A breathtaking work from one of the world’s most renowned experts on Nostradamus.

Best-selling author Mario Reading has produced the first major re-evaluation of the seer’s entire body ofprophecies for 300 years—and it finally resolves the last great mystery of Nostradamus. While the Prophecieshave transfixed us for centuries (only the Bible has been printed more times) a crucial question has lingered:why did Nostradamus not declare the dates on which his predictions would come about?

The Complete Prophecies has the answer: Nostradamus concealed nothing, for the information is right therein the text. He gave to each of his prophetic verses—ten volumes of 100 each—an index number. As MarioReading reveals in this ground-breaking new analysis, in these numbers lie the true key to the years of theprophecies’ fulfillment. It’s an eye-opening interpretation that no one should miss.

What this new interpretation of the Prophecies says about our future:

• 2015: The world narrowly escapes famine

• 2022: The abdication of Charles III of England

• 2032: The birth of the third “Antichrist”

A stunning interpretation of one of the best-selling books in publishing history

With this work, Mario Reading transforms Nostradamus scholarship by proving,once and for all, the viability of the seer’s own dating system

The author’s Nostradamus: The Complete Prophecies for the Future sold over 50,000 copies worldwide

About the Author

MARIO READING has established a reputation as an original and groundbreaking expert on Nostradamus. He isauthor of the best-selling Nostradamus: The Complete Prophecies for the Future and Nostradamus: The Good News.

Tao Te Ching on the Art of HarmonyThe New Illustrated Edition of the Chinese Philosophical MasterpieceTranslated by Chad Hansen

Although written more than 2,500 years ago and within a radically different culture, the Tao Te Ching’s concepts and teachings have become more influential in the West than ever before.

Laozi, the Chinese sage and founder of Taoism, sets out a path (tao) that allows us to tune in to the nature ofthe universe. His axioms are intended to help us achieve transcendence and a life of integrity and balance: theyexplore the importance of male and female complementary qualities while praising self-knowledge and criti-cizing rational understanding. Among his insights are the beliefs that flexibility and suppleness are superior torigidity and strength, and that self-absorption and self-importance are vain and destructive.

This illustrated edition of a classic work is an essential addition to any home library of the world’s classic philo-sophical texts.

A stunning edition that combines fine photographic illustrations with a brilliant new translation

Part of a successful series

Crisis of CharacterBuilding Corporate Reputation in the Age of Skepticismby Peter Firestein

Reputation matters—now more than ever. Public opinion in the wake of the financial meltdown has revealed the pub-lic’s abiding mistrust of corporations and the executives who run them. Scrutiny from the Internet and 24-hour cableTV offers companies no place to hide; so they must proactively seek the confidence of their shareholders and the pub-lic. In today’s economy, reputation is a prime factor in a corporation’s bottom line.

Via its groundbreaking Seven Strategies of Reputation Leadership, Crisis of Character offers a fail-proof way for exec-utives to immunize themselves and their companies against the breakdowns that can happen to even the most promi-nent organizations. Using real-life examples (from Merck and Citigroup to Hewlett-Packard and Coca-Cola), Crisis ofCharacter presents concrete ways executives can shape the internal corporate culture to support their business inter-ests. This book’s many stories vividly illustrate how corporate strategy must shift to deal effectively with globalizationand the new environmental and human rights standards that come with it.

Crisis of Character offers invaluable advice to anyone who operates in the public sphere—and who understands thatreputation is the key to survival.

Lessons are drawn from the author’s experience inside the boardrooms of the world’s largest companies and organizations

Explains the importance of the “Conscience Consumer”: The millions of individuals who select products on the basis of ethics (including those that involve damage to the environment and cruelty to animals) and choose companies according to shared values

Praise for Life in the Balance:

“A powerful and poignant portrayal of a physician who refuses to have illness rob him of his dignity andjoy. A unique and inspiring memoir that captures the resiliency of the human spirit.”– Dr. Jerome Groopman, professor, Harvard Medical School, and author of How Doctors Think

“Beautifully written, searingly honest, this book lets us see the impact of serious illness on a man who isboth a doctor and a patient.”–Rabbi Harold Kushner, author of When Bad Things Happen to Good People

“I was blown away....An eye-opening read....A remarkable book.”—Dr. Timothy Johnson, ABC News Medical Correspondent

“[A] small wonder. Unsentimental and unpretentious,

it manages to hit all its marks effortlessly.…

“[Graboys] does one of the best jobs on record

of doggedly unpeeling the onion-skin layers of

alternating ego and vulnerability that encase the

doctor turned patient”—The New York Times

Surviving ParadiseOne Year on a Disappearing Islandby Peter Rudiak-Gould

Just one month after his 21st birthday, Peter Rudiak-Gould moved to Ujae, a remote atoll in the Marshall Islandslocated 70 miles from the nearest telephone, car, store, or tourist, and 2,000 miles from the closest continent. Hespent the next year there, living among its 450 inhabitants and teaching English to its schoolchildren.

At first blush, Surviving Paradise is a thoughtful and laugh-out-loud hilarious documentation of Rudiak-Gould’s efforts tocope with daily life on Ujae as his idealistic expectations of a tropical paradise confront harsh reality. But Rudiak-Gouldgoes beyond the personal, interweaving his own story with fascinating political, linguistic, and ecological digressionsabout the Marshall Islands. Most poignant are his observations of the noticeable effect of global warming on these tiny,low-lying islands and the threat rising water levels pose to their already precarious existence.

An Eat, Pray, Love as written by Paul Theroux, Surviving Paradise is a disarmingly lighthearted narrative with asubstantive emotional undercurrent.

The first travel narrative exploring the effect of climate change in the South Pacific; most of the few books written on the region are focused on atomic fallout at Bikini Atoll

Will appeal to fans of such travel writers as Bill Bryson and Paul Theroux, as well as to young peopleseeking their way in the world

Rudiak-Gould’s expertise on Marshallese culture and language, his credentials in anthropology and linguistics, and his understanding of the environmental collapse that the islands face elevate this bookabove mere armchair travel

About the Author

PETER RUDIAK-GOULD is currently pursuing a doctorate in anthropology at Oxford, focusing on Marshalleseunderstandings of global warming and sea level rise. In the summer of 2007, he interviewed the President of theMarshall Islands regarding the effects of climate change. Proficient in Marshallese, the native language of theMarshall Islands, he is the author of the language textbook used by the WorldTeach volunteer organization as itsofficial language manual for the Marshall Islands program.

The Road Out of HellSanford Clark and the True Story of the Wineville Murdersby Anthony Flacco, with Jerry Clark

From 1926 to 1928, Gordon Stewart Northcott committed at least 20 murders on a chicken ranch outside ofLos Angeles. His nephew, Sanford Clark, was held captive there from the age of 13 to 15, and was the solesurviving victim of the killing spree. Here, acclaimed crime writer Anthony Flacco—using never-before-heardinformation from Sanford’s son Jerry Clark—tells the real story behind the case that riveted the nation.

Forced by Northcott to take part in the murders, Sanford carried tremendous guilt all his life. Yet despite hisyouth and the trauma, he helped gain some justice for the dead and their families by testifying at Northcott’strial–which led to his conviction and execution. It was a shocking story, but perhaps the most shocking part ofall is the extraordinarily ordinary life Clark went on to live as a decorated WWII vet, a devoted husband of 55years, a loving father, and a productive citizen.

In dramatizing one of the darkest cases in American crime, Flacco constructs a riveting psychological dramaabout how Sanford was able to detoxify himself from the evil he’d encountered, offering the ultimately redemp-tive story of one man’s remarkable ability to survive a nightmare and emerge intact.

Highly cinematic material, based on Jerry Clark’s recollections, court records, and newspaper accounts

Complements the story now familiar to millions who’ve seen Changeling

A video book trailer will be produced to further promote the book

Introduction and jacket quote by world-renowned forensic psychiatrist Dr. Michael Stone, the host ofDiscovery Channel’s popular series Most Evil
