Climate Confusion 

How Global Warming Hysteria Leads to 

Bad Science, Pandering Politicians and 

Misguided Policies that Hurt the Poor 

Roy Spencer 

If you listen to the media, you would think that a man-made 

environmental catastrophe was about to engulf the world 

and imperial civilization. From Al Gore’s An Inconvenient Truth 

to nightly jeremiads about CO2 emissions and “carbon footprints,” 

we are bombarded around the clock with alarmist reports 

that disastrous global warming is on the rise and that it 

is all our fault. 

The noted climatologist Roy Spencer shows that fears 

about global warming are vastly exaggerated and are driven 

by politics, not truth. He shows that a global superstorm has 

already arrived—but it is a storm of hype and hysteria. Climate 

Confusion is a ground-breaking book that combines impeccable 

scientific authority with great wit and literary 

panache to expose the hysteria surrounding the myths of 

global warming and climate change. Spencer shows that the 

earth is far more resilient than eco-pessimists pretend and 

that increasing wealth and technological ingenuity, far from 

being the enemies of the environment, are the only means 

we possess to solve environmental problems as they arise. 

Roy Spencer is a principal research scientist for University 

of Alabama in Huntsville. In the past, he served as Senior Scientist 

for Climate Studies at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight 

Center in Huntsville, Alabama. Dr. Spencer is the recipient of 

NASA’s Medal for Exceptional Scientific Achievement. 

He is principally known for his satellite-based temperature 

monitoring work, for which he was awarded the American 

Meteorological Society’s Special Award.

The Dukays 

Lajos Zilahy 

With historical vision Lajos Zilahy’s novel, The 

Dukays, chronicles the oldest aristocratic family 

in Hungary and their inexorable decline after WWI. 

After centuries of rule disintegration and war force the 

new generation to face a destiny they are unprepared 

for, especially the daughters, Zia and Kristina, who are 

caught between the old ways and their roles as powerful 

women in the 20th century. Their decisions will 

seal the family’s fate in this tumultuous family saga. 

Lajos Zilahy (1891-1974) was the leading Hungarian 

novelist of the 20th century. His extraordinary 

recreations of the momentous public events and the 

passionate private lives of his characters form a unique 

portrait of Central European life. He was a veteran of 

WWI. Much of The Dukays was written while the author 

was hiding from the Nazis. This edition was translated 

from the Hungarian by John Pauker, now 

deceased. Originally published in 1949, this is the first 

publication in paperback in the US.

Willful Blindness 

Memoir of the Jihad 

Andrew C. McCarthy 

In Willful Blindness, Andrew C. McCarthy takes readers back 

to the real beginning of the war on terror—not the atrocities 

of September 11, but the first bombing of the World 

Trade Center in February 1993 when radical Islamists effectively 

declared war on the United States. 

From his perch as a government prosecutor of the blind 

sheik and other jihadists responsible for the bombing, Andrew 

McCarthy takes readers inside the twisted world of Islamic 

terror. He traces the evolution of his own thinking 

about how best to deal with terrorism, showing how the terrorists’ 

skill at using and abusing the U.S. legal system has led 

to a culture of “lawfare,” redefining war as a normal criminal 

issue susceptible to resolution in the courts. “Lawfare,” Mc- 

Carthy notes, “has become the terrorists’ best friend” and 

has come close to paralyzing our efforts at defending our national 

security. This eye-opening book by one of our leading 

legal journalists is sure to be widely noticed and debated. 

Andrew C. McCarthy is a former federal prosecutor and 

a Contributor at National Review Online. From 1993 

through 1996, while an Assistant United States Attorney for 

the Southern District of New York, he led the prosecution 

against the jihad organization of Sheik Omar Abdel Rahman, 

in which a dozen Islamic militants were convicted of conducting 

a war of urban terrorism against the United States 

that included the 1993 World Trade Center bombing. Following 

the September 11 attacks, Mr. McCarthy supervised 

the U.S. Attorney’s Anti-Terrorism Command Post in New 

York City. From 1999 through 2003, he was the Chief Assistant 

U.S. Attorney for the Southern District’s satellite office, 

responsible for federal law enforcement in six counties north 

of New York City. 

Mr. McCarthy is the recipient of numerous awards, including 

the Justice Department’s highest honors: the Attorney 

General’s Exceptional Service Award (1996). He has 

served as a Special Assistant to the Deputy Secretary of Defense. 

He writes extensively on legal, social and political issues for 

National Review and Commentary, among other publications.

366 

More Great Stories from History For 

Every Day of the Year 

W.B. Marsh & Bruce Carrick 

366 is the sequel to the bestselling 365—highly addictive, 

bite-size chunks of history. 

Every day of the year has a story to tell. Who was 

assassinated, acceded to the throne, was born, began 

an affair, died on what particular day It may seem 

strange that even the biggest events of world history 

happened on a particular day—your birthday, a rainy 

day in May or sunny one in June. 

Read about the first ever tanks going into combat 

on the Somme, Jesse Owens humiliating the Nazis at 

the Olympic Games, the bikini swimsuit making its 

debut and the beginning of prohibition. 

W.B. Marsh and Bruce Carrick present a leap year of 

historical stories in turns amazing, horrifying, touching 

and tearful. Spanning the history of man’s life on earth 

and every corner of the inhabited world, they paint a 

picture of infinite richness and enthralling detail. 

W.B. Marsh was born in New York but now lives in 

London. On his birthday—26 October—the legendary 

“Gunfight at the OK Corral” took place at Tombstone, 

Arizona, in 1881. Bruce Carrick has worked in New 

York and London and now lives in New York State.

The Karmapa’s 

Middle Way 

Feast for the Fortunate 

By the Ninth Karmapa, Wangchuk Dorje 

Translated by Tyler Dewar 

Marked by eloquent poetry, vigorous and extensive 

analysis, and heart instructions on breaking 

through the veils of confusion to independently experience 

the true nature of things, The Karmapa’s Middle 

Way contains the Ninth Karmapa Wangchuk Dorje’s 

comprehensive commentary on the Indian master 

Chandrakirti’s seminal text, the Entrance to the Middle 

Way. This commentary, Feast for the Fortunate, is the 

Ninth Karmapa’s abridgement of the Eighth Karmapa 

Mikyö Dorje’s masterpiece, the Chariot of the Takpo 

Kagyü Siddhas. In it readers will find previously unavailable 

material on the Karmapa’s Middle Way view 

and a rare window into a philosophically charged era 

of Middle Way exposition in Tibetan Buddhism. 

In this book, Chandrakirti and the Karmapa present 

in precise detail the vital Buddhist concept of emptiness, 

through which the Mahayana path of compassionate 

altruism becomes complete. 

The Ninth Karmapa, Wangchuk Dorje (1556- 

1603), was a prolific author on a wide range of sutra 

and tantra topics and is most renowned in the Kagyü 

tradition for his instructions on Mahamudra. Tyler 

Dewar lives in Seattle, WA.

XXL Hollywood Stories 

Inside the Minds of 22 Celebrities, 

With One A–List Writer 

Scott Raab 

For 15 years, author Scott Raab has accessed Hollywood—for 

Esquire and GQ magazines—as few 

American writers have done before: honestly, journalistically 

and sometimes shockingly. 

From stars’ movie sets to bizarre locations, Raab has 

pursued the art of the elusive, unlikely intimate profile, 

from bouncing along Malibu waves as Sean Penn’s first 

mate in Penn’s boat, to hanging backstage with Will 

Ferrell, dressed as a Speedo-clad leprechaun. No matter 

the setting, Raab draws evocative word pictures of 

how the world’s most famous folk eat, think, hide and 

(sometimes) confess. 

In these Hollywood—and New York—stories, actors, 

musicians and star athletes are expertly pulled 

down from their pedestals, for all of us to inspect. Up 

close, and much more personally. 

Esquire writer-at-large and recent Court TV contributor 

Scott Raab has written celebrity and other stories 

for national magazines since earning an M.F.A. at the 

Iowa Writers Workshop. His work has also appeared in 

GQ, Self and Sport magazines, as well as The New York 

Times.

Career Contentment 

Don’t Settle for Anything Less! 

J. Jeffrey Garton 

Authored by widely experienced career coach, Jeff Garton, 

Career Contentment—Don’t Settle for Anything Less! initiates 

the campaign and effort to address the global problems 

with job dissatisfaction that have plagued generations and 

are still unresolved. This campaign shifts the focus away from 

expecting employers to help make you satisfied, and instead 

teaches you how to recognize career contentment; it also 

eliminates confusion and expands your options. 

Garton introduces innovative resources that teach you 

how to reason and recognized career contentment, and how 

to leverage it to attract and enjoy meaningful work. Career is 

the pursuit of contentment derived from work made meaningful 

by the use of your talents to fulfill your callings and 

purpose It is not just the pursuit of satisfaction that keeps you 

dependent on employers and are here today and gone tomorrow. 

This new title shows you how a shift in your own attitude 

can attract not just the right job for your background and/or 

work history, but also attract work that will be meaningful to 

you as well. The premise is deceptively simple: meaningful 

work is available to anyone willing to adopt the right mindset 

and attitude. Readers are guided along this path to enlightenment 

by first understanding organizational factors 

that lead to job satisfaction and second by making a conscious 

choice to enjoy your work. 

J. Jeffrey Garton is a global career-coach and executive 

recruiter who lives with his family near Chicago, Illinois. He 

formerly worked in Human Resources with the Philip Morris 

Companies, where he led the global staffing functions for

Street Legal 

A Guide to Pre-trial Criminal Procedure 

for Police, Prosecutors, and Defenders 

Ken Wallentine 

The Fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution 

requires that searches and seizures conducted under governmental 

authority be “reasonable.” But the reality is not 

always that straightforward. 

What does “reasonable suspicion” mean 

What constitutes a “seizure” 

What constitutes a waiver of Miranda rights 

What constitutes a “search” under the Fourth 

Amendment 

Are police service dogs equal to “deadly force” 

Noted author and Chief of Law Enforcement for the Utah 

Attorney General, Ken Wallentine, has written a new book 

intended to answer these questions, and act as a guide for 

police, prosecutors, and defenders. 

This book provides specific guidance on pre-trial criminal 

procedure of all sorts, and explains in understandable terms 

“what you can do and what you can’t do” under 4th Amendment 

search and seizure law. From traffic checkpoints and 

forceful felony arrest, from Miranda warnings to inmate and 

cell searches, it’s all covered in this concise reference. Search 

warrants, electronic surveillance, and use of canine search 

and seizure are also covered in great detail. In addition, citations 

are included in the book so that readers may find and 

read the entire case for more information. 

Ken Wallentine is the Chief of Law Enforcement for the 

Utah Attorney General. Active in civic affairs, Ken Wallentine 

is Chair of the Utah Law Enforcement Legislative Committee. 

He is a featured writer in numerous law enforcement journals. 

Chief Wallentine has been a speaker for the National Center

Attorneys Association, the United States Department of Justice,

Deep Thought on Life 

Mark Vernon 

Mark Vernon takes his inspiration from 42 of the 

funniest, wisest, and quirkiest quotations about 

the big questions in life, and uses these as starting 

points for his brilliant observations. In each chapter he 

explains what the greatest thinkers of all time have 

had to say on subjects such as eternal life, work, love 

and sex, and the nature of happiness; he draws his 

own conclusions, and will provoke you to think deeply 

about these things for yourself. 42 is the humorous answer 

to the question “What is the Meaning of Life” as 

given by the super-computer Deep Thought in Douglas 

Adams’ bestseller The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the 

Galaxy. 

Questions include: Is ignorance bliss Are freedom 

and slavery mental states Is love blind Is there any 

reason to believe a politician who tells you things can 

only get better 42 assumes no prior knowledge of 

philosophy; it’s easy and fun to read, but serious and 

challenging at the same time. 

Mark Vernon is a broadcaster and journalist and 

author of numerous books, including The Philosophy of 

Friendship. He has a PhD in philosophy, as well as degrees 

in theology and physics, and he is an Honorary 

Research Fellow at Birkbeck College, University of London,

Melvin A. Goodman 

This is a time for serious soul-searching regarding the role 

of the Central Intelligence Agency and the intelligence 

community in general. The recent intelligence failures regarding 

the unanticipated collapse of the Soviet Union, the 

terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, and the run-up to 

the Iraq war demonstrate a CIA and a $45 billion intelligence 

enterprise that has utterly failed to provide strategic warning 

to policymakers. Even worse is its efforts to boldly falsify intelligence 

to suit political purposes. It will not be possible to 

reform the enterprise until we understand and debate the 

link between intelligence and policy, the important role of intelligence, 

and the need for an intelligence agency that is not 

beholden to political interests. Failure of Intelligence will inform 

such a debate and suggest a reform agenda. 

The author has interviewed several former directors of 

central intelligence to get a better understanding of their reform 

ideas in the wake of their stewardship over the intelligence 

community. The book challenges the conventional 

wisdom on clandestine collection, arguing that there needs 

to be fewer clandestine agents, not more; that the best spies 

are rarely recruited, but are more typically walk-ins; that the 

failure to have diplomatic relations has led to the inability to 

collect intelligence in such central threat areas as Cuba, Iran, 

Iraq, and North Korea. This book is as timely as it is provocative. 

Melvin Goodman is a senior fellow at the Center for International 

Policy and an adjunct professor of government at 

Johns Hopkins University. He has more than 40 years of experience 

in the CIA, the State Department’s Bureau of Intelligence 

and Research, and the Department of Defense. He 

lives in Bethesda, Maryland.

The Family Lawyer’s 

Guide to Stock Options 

Lester Barenbaum, Walter Schubert, and 

Robert Feder 

Over 14 million American workers receive employee 

stock options—similar to the number that 

belongs to labor unions, making it likely that the issue 

will arise in an upcoming divorce case. This handy, 

practice-focused guide provides comprehensive guidance 

on the valuation, taxation, and distribution of 

stock options in divorce. Making a complex subject 

clear and approachable, the book discusses when 

options are considered marital property, tax liability 

resulting from the exercise of stock options, and use of 

stock options as income for alimony and child support 

cases. It includes sample provisions for property settlement 

agreements, a 50-state survey of all reported 

options cases, checklists, charts, glossary, and CD- 

ROM of appendices. 

Lester Barenbaum and Walter Schubert are both 

Full Professors of Finance at LaSalle University in 

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Robert Feder is a partner 

in Schnader Harrison Segal & Lewis, LLP, in Philadelphia, 

Pennsylvania. 

The First Women 

in Love 

D. H. Lawrence 

Seen by Lawrence as his most successful book, but 

subject to the initial prudery and incomprehension 

that met most of his fiction, Women in Love charts the 

regenerative and destructive aspects of human passion 

as Ursula and Gudrun Brangwen—who first appeared 

in The Rainbow—conduct relationships with Gerald 

Crich and Rupert Birkin. Set against a backdrop of a 

world consuming itself in war, the novel creates an instructive 

vision of humanity’s poignant dance with life 

and death. 

This text is the famous ‘first Women In Love, 

Lawrence’s preferred and unexpurgated version, 

which was rejected by every publisher who saw it because 

of the banning of The Rainbow in 1915. More 

positive in tone than the revised version published 

later, with different central relationships and a radically 

different ending, it is now viewed by many as his 

greatest work.

How Much Money Does 

an Economy Need 

Solving the Central Economic Puzzle of 

Money, Prices, and Jobs 

Hunter Lewis 

Why should unemployment exist Why should people 

willing and eager to work not be able to find good, 

fairly paid jobs Why should families, including children, suffer 

as a result And why should even successful economies 

experience boom/bust cycles, with frantic hiring succeeded 

by even more desperate lay-offs and unemployment 

Unemployment and boom/bust cycles together are perhaps 

the greatest unsolved problem of economics. Most 

economists agree that the problem is connected to money, 

the way that money comes into being and flows through the 

economy. Prices also seem to play a large role. Most economists 

think that stable prices help to keep an economy stable, 

but not everyone agrees. Some believe that inflation 

helps create jobs; others that the whole point of the market 

system is to bring prices down so that goods and services are 

more affordable. 

How Much Money Does an Economy Need takes a subject 

that most people find difficult to decipher and makes it easy 

to understand. Not only easy, but fascinating, with startling 

insights in every chapter. This book is especially recommended 

for informed readers and public policy makers who 

want to get to the bottom of economics so that they can 

make better choices. 

If you have read Lewis’s earlier book, Are the Rich Necessary 

(Axios Press, September 2007) along with How Much 

Money Does an Economy Need, you have become economically 

literate and will be able to understand and evaluate the 

key economic issues of your time. 

Hunter Lewis is the author of The Real World War (Putnam), 

A Question of Values (HarperCollins), and The Beguiling 

Serpent (Axios Press), all books about the related fields of 

economics and values, along with numerous magazine and 

newspaper articles. A graduate of Harvard University, he cofounded

organizations, as well as the World Bank. He lives in Charlottesville,

knitting than heavier or finer

MAKERS OF THE MUSLIM WORLD 

This is the first series devoted to the men and women who made the Muslim world what it is today 

through political, social, cultural, and religious contributions from medieval times to the 20th century. Every 

aspect of the Muslim world is covered, from poets to scholars, religious leaders to scientists, politicians to 

activists. Written by experts but in clear and straightforward language, the books in this series require no 

knowledge of Islam and provide insight into some of the most important figures in world history. 

Series Editor Patricia Crone is Mellon Professor of Islamic History at Princeton University. She is one of the 

world’s leading authorities on Islamic history and the author of numerous books and articles on the subject. 

Ali Shariati 

Schirin Fathi 

Dr ‘Ali Shariati (1933-1977) provided the intellectual 

backbone for Iran’s 1978/1979 revolution. 

Creator of a new ideology, which his detractors mockingly 

named “Islamic Marxism”, prolific writer, impassioned 

orator, and enemy of the now-overthrown 

Pahlavi dynasty, he has been regarded by some as an 

unrivaled genius, and others as a charlatan. In this fascinating 

study of a man still notorious across the Islamic 

world, Schirin Fathi allows the reader to come to 

his or her own judgment. 

Schirin Fathi is Assistant Professor at the Department 

of History and Culture of the Middle East, Hamburg 

University, Germany. 

Mehmed Ali 

Khaled Fahmy 

Kavalali Mehmed Ali Pasha (c. 1770-1849), often 

dubbed “the founder of modern Egypt”, born in 

what is now Greece, was seemingly headed for an 

everyday existence as a married tobacco trader, but 

joined the Ottoman army at the age of thirty, and 

went on to become the ruler of Egypt for nearly half a 

century. Conqueror of Sudan and Syria, despot, and 

eventually a threat to the Ottoman Empire itself, he established 

mass industrialization and secured hereditary 

rule for his descendents. 

Khaled Fahmy is Associate Professor of Middle 

Eastern Studies at Oxford University, UK. Series Editor

But Didn’t We 

Have Fun 

An Informal History of Baseball’s Pioneer 

Era, 1843–1870 

Peter Morris 

Do you think you know the story of baseball’s origins If 

so, But Didn’t We Have Fun will make you rethink everything 

you thought you knew. By weaving together a tableau 

of long-forgotten primary documents, Peter Morris retrieves 

a lost era and a lost way of life. Mr. Morris, the indefatigable 

researcher and brilliant chronicler of baseball, here takes a 

fresh look at the early amateur years of the game. His story 

begins with a generation of mid-nineteenth-century Americans 

who moved from the countryside to the cities and 

brought a cherished but delightfully informal game with 

them. Through the prism of firsthand accounts, the reader is 

privileged to watch as these pioneers adapt a simple rural 

game to their new surroundings. The members of groundbreaking 

clubs like the Knickerbockers of New York and the 

Red Stockings of Cincinnati are rescued from the dusty pages 

of history books and emerge as real men with genuine joys 

and sorrows. We share their exultant pride as baseball 

spreads and earns its status as the national pastime—and we 

appreciate their deep dismay as their game is transformed by 

professionalism and other growing pains. But Didn’t We Have 

Fun offers a challenging new perspective on baseball’s earliest 

years and conveys the sense of joy that once pervaded its 

players. Despite the competitiveness and professionalism 

that took over the game, the spirit of these pioneers triumphed 

in a most unexpected way. Mr. Morris supplants the 

long-discredited Abner Doubleday myth and other misconceptions 

with a story just as marvelous—but one that really 

happened. With 23 rare photographs. 

Peter Morris’s A Game of Inches, published in two volumes 

by Ivan R. Dee, won both the Seymour Medal and the 

Casey Award as the best baseball book of the year—the first 

book ever to do so. It was lauded by reviewers who called it 

“the book that every serious baseball fan must have” and 

“heaven for fans of the game and a required addition to all 

baseball collections.” He lives in Haslett, Michigan.

Robinson Crusoe 

Daniel Defoe 

Daniel Defoe’s first novel Robinson Crusoe, published 

in 1719, is considered by many to be the first 

novel in English, and its success was so enormous that 

by the end of the 19th century it had spawned more 

translations and versions than any other English book. 

Its central importance to the canon lies not just in 

being first, but in being one of the best, and in Crusoe 

the author created an everyman character that has become 

part of our cultural heritage. Defoe’s castaway— 

shipwrecked, imperiled, and facing a host of elemental 

challenges—lives an archetypal life of survival, adventure 

and personal development. 

Born in London in 1661, the son of a butcher and 

tallow chandler, Daniel Defoe is widely considered 

the first English novelist. He died in 1731.

Crisis of Abundance 

Rethinking How We Pay for Health Care 

Arnold Kling 

America’s health care troubles stem largely from a

more today than in the past. The problem is how to

economist Arnold Kling demonstrates how a greater 

reliance on private savings and market innovation can 

eliminate waste, contain costs, and improve the quality 

of care. A must-read for health care reformers. 

“His book is clear, concise, and eminently readable. 

I warmly recommend his book to general readers who 

want to understand what economics has to say about 

health care.” —Arnold S. Relman, M.D., Harvard Medical 

School, writing in the New England Journal of Medicine 

“This is one of the most important books written on 

health care.” —Tyler Cowen, New York Times columnist

The Second Lady 

Chatterley’s Lover 

D. H. Lawrence 

Originally published abroad in 1928, and unavailable 

in Britain until 1960 when it was the subject 

of an infamous obscenity trial, Lady Chatterley’s Lover is 

now regarded as one of the pivotal novels of the twentieth 

century. Lawrence’s determination to explore 

every aspect—sexual, social, psychological—of Lady 

Chatterley’s adulterous liaison with the gamekeeper 

Oliver Mellors makes for a profound meditation on the 

human condition, the forces of nature and the social 

constraints that people struggle to overcome. 

Lawrence’s final novel—here presented in the 

more explicit 1927 version which he described as “so 

improper that it’ll never be printed”—confirms his 

standing as one of the most eminent fiction writers 

that England has produced.

Labor of the Heart 

A Parent’s Guide to the Decisions and 

Emotions in Adoption 

Kathleen Whitten, Ph.D. 

Adoptive parents often experience the double trial 

of emotional responses to infertility and to the 

process of adoption itself, called “excruciating labor 

with no end in sight,” by one adoptive mother. 

Would-be adoptive parents cycle through grief, anger, 

fear, anxiety, frustration, and guilt—and back again. All 

of these emotions cloud decision-making as adoptive 

parents are making life-altering decisions: whether to 

adopt at all, to adopt an older child or an infant, or to 

parent a child with developmental delays. 

New empirical research by Whitten and other experts 

in the field contradicts many of the myths presented 

to parents and written in widely-used adoption 

guides. Adoptive parents do not need yet another 

book promising a “fast track” to a child or explaining 

how to collect documents. Instead, they need Labor of 

the Heart to help them through the difficult emotions 

and decisions about adoption. 

Kathleen Whitten, Ph.D. is a developmental psychologist 

and journalist. She taught psychology at the 

University of Virginia, served as an evaluator of the 

Q.I.C. for Adoption, and she and her husband were 

one of the first couples to adopt a child from Vinh 

Long in the Mekong Delta.

Vinegar into Honey 

Seven Steps to Understanding and 

Transforming Anger, Aggression, 

and Violence 

Ron Leifer 

Our desires and our fears are woven into a tangled 

web of conflicts. We want both to eat dessert and 

to be thin. We want money but don’t want to work. 

Anything that threatens our sense of self and its striving 

for happiness is perceived as a threat to our very 

lives—the response to which is defensiveness, anger, 

aggression, and violence. 

Vinegar into Honey proposes a new paradigm for 

understanding the relationship between stress, anxiety, 

anger, and depression. Leifer provides detailed instructions 

for working with anger and other painful 

emotions. The process of transforming suffering into 

equanimity and compassion is central in Buddhist psychology 

and practice. Each of the steps in Vinegar into 

Honey reflects views and methods drawn from Buddhist 

tradition. Leifer’s work holds promise for psychotherapists 

and their patients, individuals seeking to 

understand and work with their anger, and people interested 

in the interface of Buddhism and psychotherapy. 

Ron Leifer, M.D., trained as a psychiatrist under 

Thomas Szasz and became a Buddhist practitioner in 

1980. He lives in Ithaca, New York.

Invention Analysis 

and Claiming 

A Patent Lawyer’s Guide 

Ronald D. Slusky 

Invention Analysis and Claiming: A Patent Lawyer’s 

Guide is a book that every new patent attorney needs 

when starting out. Supervising attorneys will find it an 

invaluable adjunct to their own mentoring and the 

book is an ideal component of a patent department’s 

training materials. 

Invention Analysis and Claiming teaches old school 

principles of invention analysis, claiming, spec-writing 

and amendment practice that, until now, have only 

been passed down one-on-one. Readers learn how to 

first identify the inventive concept using the problemsolution 

paradigm and then to draft claims that 

broadly define the identified invention and its fallback 

features. Another emphasis is the importance of drafting 

claims with the anticipated enforcement scenario 

in mind—capturing the invention in all of its commercially 

important settings and encompassing the activities 

of individual (as opposed to co-acting) direct 

infringers. 

Ronald D. Slusky has been a patent professional for 

thirty five years and is currently in private practice in 

New York City. For thirteen of his thirty years at Bell 

Labs, he was in patent management, supervising and 

mentoring small and large groups of patent attorneys.

Kahlil Gibran 

Still one of Gibran’s most well-loved works over 70 

years after its original publication, Jesus the Son of 

Man is a striking fictional portrait of Christ as seen 

through the eyes of his contemporaries. Depicting a 

variety of famous figures, from Mary Magdalen to 

Pontius Pilate, Gibran’s spellbinding collection of narratives 

combine historical authority with the supreme 

eloquence that his admirers hold so dear. 

Fully conscious of the social, political, and religious 

realities of Palestine and Rome at the time, and at 

home with the local traditions and language, Gibran 

effortlessly evokes the spellbinding power of Christ’s 

presence upon his associates. Presented in an attractive 

gift format and accompanied by Gibran’s original 

artwork, this new edition allows Gibran’s inspirational 

account of Christ to be heard once more. 

Kahlil Gibran (1883-1931) was one of the 20th 

century’s most inspirational poets, authors, and artists. 

He drew upon his personal faith to write such bestsellers 

as The Prophet, the bestselling book of the 20th

Chöd Practice in the 

Bon Tradition 

Alejandro Chaoul 

Foreword by Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche 

This book is the first to trace the history of Chöd 

practice in Tibet’s indigenous Bön tradition. Chöd 

(“cutting through”) is a meditative practice in which 

the practitioner imagines offering his or her body in 

sacrifice through elaborate contemplative visualization. 

Although a meditative practice, Chöd is not done 

sitting comfortably on a cushion in a shrine room, but 

instead is often practiced in terrifying places like cemeteries 

or charnal grounds. The feelings of fear that result 

are used by the Chöd practitioner to “cut 

through” his or her own ego. Chöd contains elements 

of early shamanism, of sutric and tantric teachings also 

found in Indo-Tibetan Buddhism, and of the Tibetan 

highest school of Dzogchen. 

Alejandro Chaoul obtained his Ph.D. at Rice University 

and has also completed the seven-year program 

at the Ligmincha Institute for the study of the 

Bön-Buddhist tradition of Tibet. He is currently a visiting 

assistant professor at the John P. McGovern, M.D., 

Center for Health, Humanities, and the Human Spirit 

at the University of Texas School of Medicine. He lives 

in Houston, Texas.

The Political and Wartime Memoirs of 

James Allason 

James Allason 

he decisive episodes in the history of the twen- 

century found James at the centre of the 

“Ttieth 

action, as a soldier, military planner, and later as a 

politician with a singular grasp of the issues that mattered 

to ordinary people.“ —Margaret Thatcher 

The military and political memoirs of former MP 

James Allason, a man who knew knew seven prime 

ministers. 

James Allason started his career as a cavalry officer 

in pre-War India, playing polo with Maharajahs, and 

working for the Viceroy (to whom he counselled humility). 

He led his mounted troops into World War II on 

a charger, only reluctantly accepting mechanization 

into tanks. After being wounded at close quarters with 

the Japanese, Allason worked with Mountbatten’s military 

planners—Peter Fleming and Dean Rusk—bringing 

sanity to the wilder schemes of Wingate in Burma. 

Recalled to London, Allason advised Churchill in the 

Cabinet War Rooms. His advice to Attlee influenced 

the creation of the state of Israel. 

The consummate insider, James Allason sheds new 

light on the Cuban Missile Crisis and reveals the true 

story of the Profumo Affair and the role of the intelligence 

services in this. He lives in London.
