Aldous, Richard

SCHLESINGER: The Imperial Historian

Arthur Schlesinger, Jr. (1917-2007), known today as the architect of John F. Kennedy’s

presidential legacy, blazed an extraordinary path from Harvard to wartime London, to the West

Wing. The son of a pioneering historian—and a two-time Pulitzer Prize and National Book

Award winner in his own right—Schlesinger redefined the art of presidential biography. A

Thousand Days, his bestselling record of the Kennedy administration, remains one of the most

popular historical works ever written. In this vivid account of Schlesinger’s influential life and

career, biographer Richard Aldous draws on oral history, rarely seen archival documents, and the

official Schlesinger papers to craft an invaluable portrait of a brilliant and controversial historian.

Richard Aldous is a professor of history at Bard College, where he holds the Eugene Meyer

Chair, and is the author and editor of eleven books. Aldous is a contributor to television and radio

on both sides of the Atlantic, and his writing appears regularly in the Wall Street Journal, the

New York Times Book Review, and the American Interest, where he is a contributing editor. He

lives in Annandale-on-Hudson, New York.

Apter, Terri

PASSING JUDGEMENT: The Power of Praise in Everyday Life

Our obsession with praise and blame begins soon after birth. Totally dependent on others, with an

impulse to form loving attachments to those who respond to us, we rapidly learn the value of

others’ praise, and to fear the terrifying consequences of blame. Though we outgrow an infant’s

dependence, we retain an interest in others’ judgments of us, and we ourselves develop what Terri

Apter calls a “judgment meter,” so that in the first milliseconds of perceiving a person we not

only automatically process information but also form an opinion, positive or negative. Awareness

that we live, day by day, in the constant company of our judgments, both subliminal and

conscious, both positive and negative, and that we constantly monitor the judgments of others,

particularly those directed towards us, will vastly improve our ability to learn about our own

personal needs, goals and values, to manage our biases, to tolerate others’ views and to make

sense of our most powerful and often confusing responses to ourselves and to others. Terri

Apter is a writer, psychologist, and Fellow of Newnham College, Cambridge University. Her nine

books include The Sister Knot and What Do You Want from Me? She lives in Cambridge,

England.

Ayers, Edward L.

THE THIN LIGHT OF FREEDOM: Civil War and Emancipation in the Heart of America

Virginia’s Great Valley, prosperous in peace with a rich soil and enslaved workforce, invited

destruction in war. Pitched battles at Gettysburg, Lynchburg, and Cedar Creek punctuated a cycle

of vicious attack and reprisal in which armies burned whole towns for retribution. North of the

Mason-Dixon Line, in the Pennsylvania portion of the Valley, free black families sent husbands

and sons to fight with the US Colored Troops. As defeat and the end of slavery descended on

Virginia, with the political drama of Reconstruction unfolding in Washington, the crowded

classrooms of the Freedmen’s Bureau schools spoke of a new society struggling to emerge. Here

is history at its best: powerful, insightful, grounded in human detail. Edward L. Ayers is a leading

historian of the Civil War and the author of In the Presence of Mine Enemies, winner of the

Bancroft Prize. He is president emeritus of the University of Richmond.

Bailenson, Jeremy

EXPERIENCE ON DEMAND: What Virtual Reality Is, How It Works, and What It Can

Do

What makes virtual reality different from other media is Presence. When the illusion is well-

crafted, there is no interface, no gadgets, no technology. These experiences, ones possibly as

intense as the most transformational life moments, will soon be available at the click of a button.

Experience on Demand will draw upon Jeremy Bailenson's nearly twenty years of research into

the psychological effects of VR to help readers understand this new medium, and to describe

some of the profound ways it can be put to use to hone performance, change our behavior in

positive ways, improve our ability to communicate and learn, and even enhance our emphathetic

and imaginative abilities. Jeremy Bailenson is founding director of Stanford University’s Virtual

Human Interaction Lab (VHIL) and Thomas More Storke Professor in the Department of

Communication. Bailenson’s writing has appeared in The Washington Post, Slate, and The San

Francisco Chronicle.

Bauer, Susan Wise

A PURPOSEFUL EDUCATION

Susan Wise Bauer’s new book is about making schools work better for your children, often with

the help of home schooling resources and ideas. Her advice is comprehensive and anecdotal,

drawn from her experience with her own kids, including the mistakes she made. How many

parents have a kid who is struggling with something at school? The correct answer is…Lots. And

Susan’s point is this: whatever is wrong is most likely not your child’s fault, but the fault of the

school or the system. Susan Wise Bauer is the best-selling author of the Story of the

World series, The History of the World series, The Well-Trained Mind, and The Well-Educated

Mind, among other works. She lives in Virginia.

Calhoun, Ada

WEDDING TOASTS I’LL NEVER GIVE Inspired by her wildly popular New York Times essay “The Wedding Toast I’ll Never Give,” Ada

Calhoun provides a funny (but not flip), smart (but not smug) take on the institution of marriage.

Weaving intimate moments from her own married life with frank insight from experts, clergy,

and friends, she upends expectations of total marital bliss to present a realistic—but ultimately

optimistic—portrait of what marriage is really like. Ada Calhoun’s first book, St. Marks Is Dead,

was named a New York Times Editor’s Choice and a Boston Globe Best Book of the Year. She

lives in Brooklyn, New York, with her husband and son.

Clubbe, John

BEETHOVEN: The Relentless Revolutionary In an accessible work for the general reader, Clubbe shows how Beethoven’s revolutionary

thinking influenced his revolutionary music. Beethoven grew up in the political hotbed of Bonn,

but spent most of his adult life in the conservative Vienna of the Hapsburgs. He never gave up

radicalism, as his groundbreaking musical compositions attest, but he had to hide his political

fervor in light of the monarchy. John Clubbe is a former Duke professor and emeritus professor

University of Kentucky in English. He has published several essays in Beethoven-studies journals

and given talks on Beethoven in connection with the Santa Fe Symphony.

Cooper, William

THE LAST FOUNDING FATHER: John Quincy Adams and the Transformation of

American Politics

Overshadowed by both his brilliant father and the brash and bold Andrew Jackson, John Quincy

Adams has long been dismissed as hyper-intellectual. Viciously assailed by Jackson and his

populist mobs for being both slippery and effete, Adams nevertheless recovered from the

malodorous 1828 presidential election to lead the nation as a lonely Massachusetts congressman

in the fight against slavery. Now, award-winning historian William J. Cooper insightfully

demonstrates that Adams should be considered our last Founding Father, his moral and political

vision the final link to the great visionaries who created our nation. William J. Cooper is the

author of Jefferson Davis, American, winner of the Los Angeles Times Book Prize, and We Have

the War Upon Us. A Boyd Professor Emeritus of History at Louisiana State University, he lives

in Baton Rouge.

Doughty, Caitlin

FROM HERE TO ETERNITY: Travelling the World to Find the Good Death

In a rural village in Indonesia, a man dresses the mummified body of his grandfather in a brand

new navy blazer. And this isn’t the first time he’s done so– the mummy has lived in the family

home for two full years. Most Westerners view death as final: the spirit vacates and the corpse

becomes an uncomfortable, frightening burden. After a decade working with the dead in America,

Caitlin Doughty set out to explore the vibrant, ongoing relationship the rest of the world has with

the physical body. In curious, vivid, and morbidly funny prose, Doughty takes us inside a

futuristic robot-powered columbarium in Japan and introduces us to Sandra, a Bolivian ñatita (a

cigarette-smoking, wish-granting human skull). Featuring haunting, Gorey-esque illustrations by

artist Landis Blair, From Here to Eternity urges us to reject our Western idea of “dignity” so that

we might find comfort and healing through a hands-on role in tending to our deceased.

Finch, Robert

THE OUTER BEACH: A Thousand-Mile Walk on Cape Cod’s Atlantic Shore

Cape Cod is, in Robert Finch’s poetic phrase, “a cherished face deteriorating in the rain of time.”

Nowhere is this truth more vivid and dramatic than along its forty miles of Atlantic coast, which

Finch has always known as “the Outer Beach.” The stories here are the rich harvest of over fifty

years and a thousand miles walking along it. They include encounters with shipwrecks and

beached whales, two nights trapped by a blizzard in a sand-dune shack, and a simple evening with

friends around a bonfire. Robert Finch has lived on Cape Cod for forty years, currently in

Wellfleet, Massachusetts. He is the author of seven collections of essays.

Freeman, Joshua

BEHEMOTH: The Factory and the World it Made

In a major work of scholarship that is also wonderfully accessible, celebrated historian Joshua B.

Freeman tells the grand story of the factory and examines how it has reflected both our grandest

dreams and worst nightmares. He whisks readers from the textile mills in England that powered

the Industrial Revolution, to the colossal steel and car plants of 20th century America, Eastern

Europe, and the Soviet Union, to today’s behemoths making sneakers, toys, and iPhones in China

and Vietnam. He traces arguments about factories and social progress through such critics and

champions as Marx and Engels, Alexander Hamilton, Henry Ford, and Joseph Stalin. And he

explores the representation of factories in the work of Charles Sheeler, Margaret Bourke-White,

Charlie Chaplin, Diego Rivera, and Edward Burtynsky. Joshua B. Freeman is a professor of

History at Queens College and the Graduate Center of CUNY. His previous books include

American Empire and Working-Class New York, among others. He lives in New York City.

Gaiman, Neil

NORSE MYTHOLOGY Neil Gaiman has long been inspired by ancient mythology in creating the fantastical realms of his

fiction. Now he turns his attention back to the source, presenting a bravura rendition of the great

northern tales. Gaiman fashions primeval stories into a novelistic arc that begins with the genesis

of the legendary nine worlds; delves into the exploits of the deities, dwarves, and giants; and

culminates in Ragnarok, the twilight of the gods and the rebirth of a new time and people.

Gaiman stays true to the myths while vividly reincarnating Odin, the highest of the high, wise,

daring, and cunning; Thor, Odin’s son, incredibly strong yet not the wisest of gods; and Loki, the

son of giants, a trickster and unsurpassable manipulator. From Gaiman’s deft and witty prose

emerge the gods with their fiercely competitive natures, their susceptibility to being duped and to

dupe others, and their tendency to let passion ignite their actions, making these long-ago myths

breathe pungent life again. Neil Gaiman is the author of the best-selling Trigger Warnings, The

Ocean at the End of the Lane, The Graveyard Book, Coraline, The Sandman series, and many

other works. His fiction has received Newbery, Carnegie, Hugo, Nebula, World Fantasy, and Will

Eisner Awards. His novel American Gods is being made into a TV miniseries to air in 2017.

Originally from England, he now lives in the United States.

Green, Jonathan

SEX MONEY MURDER, INC.: A Story of Crack, Blood, and Betrayal

Sex Money Murder, Inc. provides a visceral, kaleidoscopic perspective on the violent drug wars in

the South Bronx at the height of the crack epidemic. This is a world where kids stake their claims

through intimidation and murder; where families are fractured by drugs, crime, and incarceration;

and where the homicide rate is so high the police won’t bother to pursue cases if they haven’t

found a suspect within 24 hours. Based on years of research and extraordinary access, Jonathan

Green paints a devastating portrait through the stories of Shawn “Suge” Davies, one of the hit

men in the gang known as Sex Money Murder, Emilio “Pipe” Romero, the youngest member of

the original Sex Money Murder, and John O’Malley and Peter Forcelli, two of the policemen who

dedicated years to trying to stem the tide of violence caused by the gang. Using first-person

interviews, police reports, and court transcripts, this is a work of gritty urban reportage. Jonathan

Green is an award-winning journalist and author. His work has appeared in the New York Times,

Men's Journal, the Financial Times Magazine, British GQ and Esquire.

physiological factors that influence our eating habits. Herz uncovers the fascinating and

surprising facts that influence food consumption—such as why bringing reusable bags to the

grocery store encourages us to buy more treats, how our beliefs affect how many calories we

SEEDS OF THE UNIVERSE: The Life and Times of Massive Black Holes

Every galaxy in the cosmos harbors a black hole at its center. Today, supermassive black holes—

which are millions or billions of times the mass of the Sun—have become one of the hottest

topics in cosmology, and understanding them may be a crucial step toward answering an essential

question about our origins: how did galaxies form just after the big bang? Impey will use the

amazing science of black holes to answer questions from the cutting edge of modern cosmology.

Chris Impey is a Distinguished Professor in the Department of Astronomy at the University of

Arizona. In addition to Beyond, How It Began, and How It Ends, he has written two astronomy

textbooks and has won many teaching awards. He lives in Tucson, Arizona.

CHESTER B. HIMES: A Biography African-American novelist Chester B. Himes created a harrowingly honest reflection of American

considered a serious literary tastemaker and peer to Ellison and Wright—both of whom were his

friends, along with Baldwin and Langston Hughes. Lawrence Jackson illuminates Himes’s life—

the family’s social and economic decline, Chester’s almost fatal fall down an elevator shaft, his

eight years in prison, and the move to Europe—and restores his literary legacy. Lawrence Jackson

is a Distinguished Professor of English and African American Studies at Emory University. He is

the author of highly praised academic works and has published in N+1 and Harper’s.

TRANSFORMATIONAL STATESMANSHIP: Difficult, Possible, Necessary In Transformational Statesmanship, Bruce Jentleson shows how key figures in the previous

century rewrote the zero-sum and transactional scripts they were handed and successfully

prevented conflict, advanced human rights, and promoted global sustainability. Focusing on the

specific impact they had, not the positon they held, Jentleson zeroes in on true change agents to

see how they did it. Covering a broad range of historical examples, from Yitzhak Rabin’s efforts

for Arab-Israeli peace, to Dag Hammarskjöld’s effectiveness as Secretary-General of the United

Nations and Mahatma Gandhi’s pioneering use of non-violence as a political tool, Jentleson

argues that individuals can shape policy—because they have. Bruce W. Jentleson is a Professor of

Public Policy and Political Science at Duke University. A leading scholar of American foreign

policy, he has served in a number of U.S. policy and political positions, and is the author of

SAVING CHARLOTTE: A Mother and the Power of Intuition

When her newborn daughter Charlotte is diagnosed with a rare and deadly leukemia, Pia and her

husband Robbert make a momentous decision: they reject potentially devastating chemotherapy

and instead choose to “wait for what will come.” As the following year unfolds, Pia enters a

disorienting world of doctors, medical procedures, and a colorful cast of neighbors and protectors

in her native Amsterdam. Her seventeenth-century canal house becomes her inner sanctum, a

private “cocoon” where she sweeps away distractions in order to give Charlotte the unfiltered

love and strength she needs. Pia’s instinctive decision, now known as “watchful waiting,” has

become the standard medical protocol for Charlotte’s type of leukemia. This deeply felt memoir

reveals the galvanizing impact one child can have on a family, a neighborhood, and a worldwide

medical community. Pia de Jong is a best-selling novelist and a regular contributor to the

Washington Post. She lives in Princeton, New Jersey, with her husband, Robbert Dijkgraaf,

director of the Institute for Advanced Study, and their three children, including Charlotte.

Klein, Grady and Danny Oppenheimer

A CARTOON INTRODUCTION TO PSYCHOLOGY Psychology is a serious and worthy endeavor because we value scientific knowledge not only for

what it tells us about the world but also for what it reveals about our place in the world. Yet, as

cartoonist Grady Klein and psychologist Danny Oppenheimer point out, the study of human

experience is also often really funny. With detailed observations on perception, stress, emotions,

cognition, and more, The Cartoon Introduction to Psychology is the perfect way for students and

curious general readers to learn more about psychology while having a good laugh. Grady Klein

is a cartoonist, animator, and author of several successful cartoon introductions to otherwise dry

subjects. Danny Oppenheimer is a professor of marketing and psychology at UCLA and the

recipient of the 2006 Ig Noble science humor prize in literature.

THE MOTIVATION TOOLKIT: How to Align Your Employees’ Interests with Your Own

Kreps has distilled decades of experience and research to give readers an unparalleled exploration

of the elements of employee motivation. Kreps starts with a fresh definition of motivation as “the

alignment of your employees’ interest with your own.” Achieving this alignment begins with a

grounding in the leading economic and psychological theories of motivation, from the economic

theory of incentives to the social psychological theory of self-determination, and Kreps’ genius

lies in showing how to successfully navigate between these theories. When will pay-for-

performance work? When will intrinsic motivators, or even the simple rollback of certain de-

motivators, work best instead? David Kreps is the Adams Distinguished Professor of

Management and professor of economics at the Stanford Graduate School of Business.

Nation Caught in the Crosshairs of Change

Why, with China heading to a lopsided 30 million more marriage-age men than women, are

women finding it ever harder to get married, even as they are having better careers and making

more money? And what does this mean for China’s ability to become a global financial giant and

be a model for developing countries? Part playful, disarming portrait of the dating travails of

China’s young, trailblazing single women, part critique of political and social ideals, The

Leftovers focuses on the lives of four successful women, relying on research, experts, and

hundreds of interviews to show that China’s “leftover women” are in fact the ultimate linchpin to

the country’s rise and development. Roseann Lake is a journalist and TV producer for The

rhetorical tools politicians have used throughout history to further their agendas at the expense of

out by the room’s painter and architect, Giorgio Vasari (1511–1574). For five centuries, Vasari

has had a profound and unrecognized influence on our culture. Through his classic biography of

the great masters, Vasari became the godfather of art history, transforming our understanding of

artists and their work. Reconstructing Vasari’s life among his peers—including Leonardo,

Raphael, and Michelangelo—Ingrid D. Rowland and Noah Charney immerse readers in the

thrilling culture of the Italian Renaissance and the intellectual currents that reshaped the visual

world. Ingrid Rowland is an award-winning author, a regular contributor to the New York Review

Steffens, Roger

Introduction by Linton Kwesi Johnson

SO MUCH THINGS TO SAY: The Oral History of Bob Marley One of the first interviews Bob Marley did in America was with a young radio host in southern

California named Roger Steffens. Over the next forty years, Steffens went on to compile the

world’s largest reggae archive, including thousands of hours of interviews with Marley himself,

as well as with the singer’s closest family, friends, and band members. Steffens weaves their

voices together to tell the story of Marley’s childhood, his adolescence in Trench Town, the

recording of the first hit singles, the meteoric career, and his tragic death, dispelling many myths

and highlighting the most dramatic moments of Marley’s life. Roger Steffens is the world’s

leading reggae historian and archivist. An author, photographer, and lecturer, he began his radio

career in New York in 1961, was cohost of the award-winning Reggae Beat on KCRW in Los

Angeles, and was syndicated on 130 stations worldwide in the 1980s.

GLOBALIZATION AND ITS DISCONTENTS

When it was first published, Globalization and Its Discontents quickly became a bestseller and a

Stiglitz argued that the IMF and other major institutions put the interests of Wall Street and other

corporate entities ahead of the developing nations they were supposedly helping, leading to unrest

and rampant inequality. Since then, globalization has continued to be mismanaged and has left a

trail of disaffected and disadvantaged citizens in its wake. Stiglitz’s powerful and prescient

can now do it online. But few of us ask how all these digital products are designed, or why. It’s

time we change that. Many of the services we rely on are full of oversights, biases, and downright

ethical nightmares. Chatbots that harass women. Signup forms that fail anyone who’s not straight.

Social media sites that send peppy messages about dead relatives. Algorithms that put more black

people behind bars. Technically Wrong takes an unflinching look at the values, processes, and

assumptions that lead to these problems and more. Sara Wachter-Boettcher is a web consultant

based in Philadelphia and the author of two books for web professionals: Design for Real Life,

with Eric Meyer, and Content Everywhere. She helps organizations make sense of their digital

content, and she speaks at conferences worldwide.

Watson, Paul

ICE GHOSTS: The Epic Hunt for the Lost Franklin Expedition Captain John Franklin left England in 1845 in search of the fabled Northwest Passage—but the

next year his two ships became trapped in Arctic ice, and Franklin and his entire crew of 129

disappeared. Over the next 150 years, dozens of other expeditions would search for the ships

without success . . . until their dramatic discovery by a Canadian search party in 2014. Combining

cutting-edge marine science and archaeology with a fast-paced narrative, Ice Ghosts weaves

together the astounding story of the original expedition with the extraordinary modern tale of the

scientists, divers, tycoons, and Inuit behind the search that finally succeeded in finding the ships.

Paul Watson is a former war correspondent for the Los Angeles Times and covered the Arctic for

the Toronto Star.

Weigel, David

THE SHOW THAT NEVER ENDS: The Rise and Fall of Prog Rock The behind-the-scenes story of the extraordinary rise and fall of progressive (“prog”) rock,

epitomized by such classic, chart-topping bands as Yes, Genesis, Pink Floyd, Jethro Tull, and

Emerson Lake & Palmer, along with their successors Rush, Styx, and Asia. With inside access to

all the key figures, David Weigel tells the story with the gusto and insight that prog’s fans (and its

detractors) will relish. Along the way, he explains exactly what was “progressive” about prog

rock, how it arose from psychedelia and heavy metal, why it dominated the pop charts but then

became despised, and what fuels its resurgent popularity today. David Weigel is a national

reporter for the Washington Post. He has written for Bloomberg Businessweek, Slate, Reason,

GQ, Esquire, USA Today, Rolling Stone, Politico, and many others. He lives in Washington, DC.

THE NATURE FIX: How Being Outside Makes You Happier, Healthier, and More

Creative Beethoven drew inspiration from the woods and Nikola Tesla conceived the electric motor while

walking in a park. Drawing on the restorative power of nature, Florence Williams set out to

uncover a scientific explanation for nature’s effects on the brain. From forest trails in Korea to

waves of human generosity triggered by a grove of eucalyptus in California, Williams

investigates the science at the confluence of environment, mood, health, and creativity. Florence

Williams is a journalist and contributing editor to Outside. Her work has appeared in the New

York Times, the New York Times Magazine, and National Geographic.

Baron, David

AMERICAN ECLIPSE: A Nation’s Epic Race to Catch the Shadow of the Moon and Win

the Glory of the World In the scorching summer of 1878, with the Gilded Age in its infancy, three ruthless and brilliant

scientists raced to Wyoming and Colorado to observe a rare total solar eclipse. One sought to

discover a new planet. Another—an adventuresome female astronomer—fought to prove that

science was not anathema to femininity. And a young, megalomaniacal inventor, with the tabloid

press fast on his heels, sought to test his scientific bona fides and light the world through his

revelations. David Baron brings to three-dimensional life these three competitors—James Craig

Watson, Maria Mitchell, and Thomas Edison—and thrillingly re-creates the fierce jockeying of

nineteenth-century American astronomy. David Baron, an award-winning journalist, is the author

of The Beast in the Garden and a former science correspondent for NPR. He lives in Boulder,

Colorado.

Bass, S. Jonathan

HE CALLS ME BY LIGHTNING: A Saga of Jim Crow, Southern Justice, and the Death

Penalty

On the night of July 12, 1957, in Bessemer, Alabama, police officer James “Cowboy” Clark was

shot dead following a traffic stop. Three days later, after a multi-state manhunt, a black teenager

named Caliph Washington was arrested and charged with the murder. Proclaiming his innocence,

Washington was convicted by an all-white jury and sentenced to death in the electric chair. On

death row for seven years, and coming within hours of being executed more than a dozen times,

Washington eventually had his conviction overturned in federal court, yet he was then held

without trial or charge for another five years. What starts as an account of the brutal official and

unofficial justice systems of the Jim Crow South becomes in the hands of historian S. Jonathan

Bass a portrait of both corruption and vice. S. Jonathan Bass is a professor of history at Samford

University in Birmingham, Alabama. He is the author of Blessed Are the Peacemakers: Martin

Luther King Jr., Eight White Ministers, and the Letter from Birmingham Jail.

Coppola, Francis Ford

LIVE CINEMA AND ITS TECHNIQUES So convinced is Francis Ford Coppola that “live cinema” will become a powerful medium within

the larger film industry that he has crafted this instructional book, filled with lively anecdotes and

invaluable lessons. As digital movie-making, like live sports, can now be performed by one

director or by a collaborative team working across the Internet, it is only a matter of time before

“cinema auteurs” will create “live” movies of the highest creative quality that will be sent

instantly via satellite to be viewed in faraway theaters. Whether recounting his

own boyhood obsession with film, tracing the origins of “live cinema” through a history of early

film and live 1950s television shows, or presenting state-of-the-art techniques on everything from

rehearsals to equipment, Coppola demonstrates that the spontaneity of this genre of “live cinema”

will transport filmmaking into a new era of creativity. Francis Ford Coppola, the Academy-

Award–winning director of The Godfather and Apocalypse Now, has already conducted two “live

cinema” workshops and is creating a “live cinema” movie based on his own family’s

multigenerational history. He lives in San Francisco, California.

THE SECOND COMING OF THE KKK: the Ku Klux Klan of the 1920s and the American

Populist Tradition

Boasting four-to-six million members, the reassembled Ku Klux Klan of the 1920s dramatically

challenged our preconceptions of hooded Klansmen, who through violence and lynching,

established a Jim Crow racial hierarchy in the 1870s south. Responding to the “emergency”

posed by the flood of immigrant “hordes”—Pope-worshipping Irish and Italians, “self-centered

Hebrews,” and “sly” Orientals”—this “second Klan,” as award-winning historian Linda Gordon

grippingly chronicles, spread principally above the Mason-Dixon Line in states like Indiana,

Michigan, and Oregon. Condemning “urban” vices like liquor, prostitution, movies and jazz as

Catholic and Jewish plots to subvert American values, the rejuvenated Klan became entirely

mainstream, attracting middle-class men and women through its elaborate secret rituals and mass

“Klonvocations” before collapsing amid revelations of sordid sexual revelations, financial

embezzlement, and Ponzi-like schemes. Linda Gordon, winner of two Bancroft prizes and the Los

Angeles Times Book Prize, is the author of Dorothea Lange and Impounded and the coauthor of

Feminism Unfinished. She teaches at New York University and lives in New York and Madison,

AMERICAN FIRE: Love, Arson, and the Death of Rural America Shocked by a five-month arson spree that left a rural Virginia county reeling, Washington Post

reporter Monica Hesse drove down to the desolate community of Accomack to cover the trial of

Charlie Smith, who pled guilty to 67 counts of arson. But Smith wasn’t lighting fires alone: his

motives of this hapless addict and his struggling accomplice, girlfriend Tonya Bundick. Expertly

woven into the long-overlooked history of arson in the United States, American Fire re-creates

the anguished nights this quiet county lit up in flames, mesmerizingly evoking a microcosm of

Huang, Yunte

INSEPARABLE: The Untold Story of the Original Siamese Twins and Their Rendezvous

with American History

Born in a fishing village in Siam in 1811, Chang and Eng Bunker were from birth joined at the

sternum by a piece of cartilage with a fused liver, and were “discovered” by British merchant,

Robert Hunter, who took them on a world tour, where they landed in Boston in August, 1829.

Their success as itinerant showmen for Barnum and Bailey quickened the birth of mass

entertainment in America. Their rise from poor Asian immigrants to rich Southern gentry, their

peculiar ménage à trois with two white sisters (Adelaide and Sarah-Ann Yates; the marriages

resulting in 22 children), their pro-slavery, pro-Confederacy politics, is not just a sensational

story, but a rare window into a nation repressed by Victorian mores, riven by racial tensions, torn

apart by military conflicts, and reborn as a rising empire. Yunte Huang is a Guggenheim Fellow

and a professor of English at the University of California, Santa Barbara. He is the author

of Transpacific Imaginations and Charlie Chan. Having come of age in China as a student in the

time of Tiananmen, Huang now lives in Santa Barbara, California.

During the late fall of 2015, the world powers came together in Paris with the hope of reaching an

Korda, Michael

ALONE: Britain, Dunkirk, and Defeat into Victory

There has never been an account of the desperate month of May 1940, when an isolated and

diplomatically stranded England anxiously watched as a seemingly unstoppable German army

swept across continental Europe. Now, the legendary Michael Korda, then a precocious young

boy of seven, brilliantly evokes the desperation and heroism of that month, from the resignation

of Neville Chamberlain to the accession of Winston Churchill and the British retreat at Dunkirk.

Amidst the political and military drama of those dire weeks is the account of Korda's own storied

family—his uncle Vincent, the celebrated movie director, and his aunt and mother, two of the

greatest stage actresses of their time. As the story comes to an end, Korda flees war-torn Europe

for North America, where he is finally reunited with his mother and is swept off to the glamorous

streets of Hollywood. Michael Korda is the best-selling author of Hero, Clouds of Glory, and

Charmed Lives and the former editor-in-chief of Simon and Schuster. Korda was awarded the

Order of Merit of the Republic of Hungary for his participation in the Hungarian Revolution of

1956, and makes his home in Dutchess County, New York.

Sachs, Harvey

TOSCANINI: Musician of Conscience On the 150th anniversary of his birth comes this monumental biography of conductor Arturo

Toscanini, whose dramatic life was unparalleled among twentieth-century musicians. During a

68-year career, Toscanini (1867–1957) was famed for his fierce dedication, photographic

memory, explosive temper, and impassioned performances. At various times he dominated La

Scala, the Metropolitan Opera, the New York Philharmonic, the NBC Symphony, and the

Bayreuth, Salzburg, and Lucerne festivals. His reforms influenced generations of musicians, and

his opposition to Nazism and Fascism made him a model for artists of conscience. Thanks to

unprecedented access to the conductor’s archives, Harvey Sachs has written a completely new

biography that positions Toscanini’s dramatic and sometimes scandalous life and art against the

roiling currents of history, with candid portraits of Verdi, Puccini, Caruso, Geraldine Farrar,

Mussolini, and many others. Harvey Sachs, author and music historian, has written for The New

Yorker, the New York Times, the Times Literary Supplement, and many other publications. He is

on the faculty of the Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia.

Wilson, Edward O.

THE ORIGINS OF CREATIVITY

“The unique and defining trait of our species is creativity, and the ultimate goal of creativity is

self-understanding” begins Edward Wilson’s sweeping and completely novel examination of the

current state of the humanities and its relationship to the sciences. By studying fields as diverse as

paleontology, anthropology, and neuroscience, Wilson demonstrates that human creativity began

not 10,000 years ago, as we have long assumed, but over 100,000 years ago in the Paleolithic

Age. Grappling with the evolution of creativity from primate to human, Wilson shows how the

humanities have played a chief role in defining us not only as individuals but as a species.

Edward O. Wilson is the author of more than twenty books, including The Social Conquest of

Earth and Letters to a Young Scientist. The winner of two Pulitzer prizes, Wilson is a professor

emeritus at Harvard University and lives in Lexington, Massachusetts.

themselves. This book provides a review of the reasons why meditative practice can be harmful

and offers solutions to this conundrum. David A. Treleaven, PhD, is a somatic therapist in the San

TEACH LIKE FINLAND: 33 Simple Strategies for Joyful Classrooms

Finland shocked the world when its fifteen-year-olds scored highest on the first Programme for

International Student Assessment (PISA), a set of tests touted for evaluating critical-thinking

skills in math, science, and reading. That was in 2001; but even today, this tiny Nordic nation

continues to amaze. How does Finnish education—with short school days, homework-free

evenings, and no standardized tests—produce students with such extraordinary PISA scores?

When Timothy D. Walker started teaching fifth graders at a Helsinki public school, he began a

search for the secrets behind the success of Finland’s schools. Here he gathers all he has learned

and reveals how any teacher can implement these simple practices.

ever by tailoring each recipe to one or more of these functions (many mains have both fast and

THE JOY OF DOING NOTHING

Accompanied by photographs of sloths in their element, this book strives to give readers the

insight to what the slow knows, gems like these: eat slowly to satisfy all of your senses (sloths

can take up to a week to digest a meal) and give of yourself (sloths host an ecosystem of moths

and algae in their hair). With slowetry (lazy poems), quizzes (one question will do), and the

occasional quotation, this book validates what the sloth already knows: to be lazy is to be alive.

covered to the quadrant of the United States extending north and east of Indiana, where fewer

than 20 species account for 95 percent of trees. He makes learning to recognize trees easy, even

when buds and leaves are not present.

CACHE LAKE COUNTRY: Or, Life in the North Woods

Over half a century ago, John Rowlands set out by canoe into the wilds of Canada to survey land

for a timber company. After paddling alone for several days, he came upon “the lake of my

had to offer: timber for a cabin; fish, game, and berries to live on; and the peace and contentment

he felt he could not live without. This is his story, containing both folklore and philosophy, with

wisdom about the woods; it includes directions for making moccasins, stoves, shelters, outdoor

ovens, canoes, and hundreds of other ingenious and useful gadgets. John J. Rowlands had a

varied career as a gold and silver prospector, miner, lumber scout, and newspaperman. He died in
