Chest Pains 

A Novel 

Janet Nichols Lynch 

In this zany satiric novel, Californian Gordon Clay, a failed 

musician turned college music instructor, overcomes a midlife 

crisis, helped by unlikely characters who include a 

marathon-running ex-nun and a small boy. The story is 

framed by the worlds of music, religious faith, academia and 

marathons—all known first-hand by the author. It is a tale 

that begins with professional disappointment, loneliness and 

mid-life angst—conditions known well by many readers. Yet 

the author succeeds in exploring these somber circumstances 

with whimsy, humor and irony. 

Gordon, who once dreamed of a career as a double bass 

player, finds little pleasure in life, except for his cats and dinner 

of salted nuts and beer. When he suffers chest pains, he 

fears heart disease. But in fact he is suffering a crisis of the 

spirit. Gordon, an irreverent lapsed Catholic, begins to tutor 

one of his least promising students, Cecelia, a tone-deaf exnun 

who is convinced God has chosen her for a calling in 

music. In a park he befriends Moopuna, a young boy of Pacific 

Island and African descent. He later begins a relationship 

with the child’s young unwed Polynesian mother. Gordon’s 

hopes for a professional career and traditional family don’t 

materialize, but gradually he finds fulfillment in other ways, 

and with it a restoration of faith. 

“There’s action, there’s music, there’s God, there’s a 

young child and love and danger. This book has it all.” 

—Merrill Joan Gerber, author of King Of The World (Pushcart 

Press Editor’s Award), The Kingdom of Brooklyn (Ribalow Prize) 

and The Victory Gardens of Brooklyn 

Janet Nichols Lynch has had her short fiction published 

in the New Yorker, Seventeen and literary magazines. Her juvenile 

and young-adult novels and nonfiction books on composers 

have been published by Walker and Macmillan. She 

formerly taught music at colleges in California, and now 

teaches English. Lynch lives in Visalia, California, 190 miles 

north of Los Angeles. She has raced bicycles, ridden her bike 

from Phoenix to Washington, D.C., and has competed in six 

marathons.

Fiasco 

Coskun Buktel 

Acolorful, fast-paced, and entertaining crime novel 

set in the dynamic, chaotic city of Istanbul, Fiasco 

is full of unexpected twists and turns and has a surprising 

ending. 

The story begins when Mesut, a lonely, depressed 

man trying to commit suicide, answers a call from a 

“wrong number” which turns out to be the Mafia. 

Across town, a young man named Ozdemir and his 

mistress Zehra, inspired by a series of terrorist attacks 

on the British Consulate and other targets in Istanbul, 

decide to organize their own “terrorist” bombing in 

order to kill Ozdemir’s rich, jealous, older wife. 

Meanwhile, Mesut falls in love with Ayten, a young 

woman whose father is about to die from an extreme 

form of nostalgia. But Ayten gets kidnapped by the 

Mafia in retaliation for a death that Mesut indirectly 

caused. To get the blood money to pay off the Mafia, 

Mesut will have to carry out the suicide bombing for 

Ozdemir and Zehra... 

Coskun Buktel lives in Istanbul, Turkey, where he is 

a well-known playwright and critic. He has published 

two plays, two volumes of theater criticism, and a 

drama anthology, in addition to translating D.H. 

Lawrence’s novella The Fox into Turkish. His novel 

Fiasco is his first work to be translated into English. 

The Red Apple 

Jonathan Levitan 

Asweeping historical novel, The Red Apple takes 

place during the two decades before the Ottoman 

conquest of Constantinople in 1453. This is the story 

of Manuel, a Greek boy who is taken from his village 

by the Ottomans. He becomes Ibrahim, a Muslim, and 

joins the Janissaries, the elite Ottoman military corps, 

swearing his loyalty to the Sultan. While they fight for 

Ottoman control of the Balkans, their sights are set on 

capturing Constantinople. But the harshness of battle 

and Ottoman political intrigues alienate Ibrahim, and 

he leaves the Janissaries to marry the beautiful peasant 

girl Mihrimah. When Ibrahim loses Mihrimah, there is 

nothing left for him to do but rejoin the Greeks in their 

doomed fight to save Constantinople from the 

Ottomans. 

From Janissary regiments and battle scenes to the 

streets of fifteenth-century Constantinople, The Red 

Apple brings this vibrant historical period to life. 

Jonathan Levitan majored in history at the University 

of Pennsylvania, from which he also earned his law 

degree. He is a corporate healthcare attorney for a 

skilled nursing management company and lives outside 

Philadelphia, PA with his family.

The History of 

Orphanages 

Reconsidered 

Richard B. McKenzie 

rphanage” is the O-word in many people’s minds, 

“Oconjuring up images of poor little Oliver Twist pleading 

for more gruel. Many people are convinced that the history 

of orphanages is a social-welfare record of total 

devastation to the lives of the children who grew up in orphanages. 

Indeed, the academic scholars who contributed 

to The History of Orphanages Reconsidered often began their 

research with the conventional view of orphanages. However, 

the authors came to far more balanced assessments of 

the historical records: while the orphanages studied were not 

perfect, they were often good solutions to dire child welfare 

conditions. 

Editor Richard B. McKenzie contends that the future of 

America’s most vulnerable citizens is on the line. The current 

government run child welfare system is operating to the 

detriment of tens of thousands of children. Foster care, intended 

to act as a temporary solution, has become inadequate 

permanent care. While adoption is a solution for some 

children, many are difficult to place or are legally unavailable 

for permanent placement. In re-examining the surprising 

success of orphanages in the past, The History of Orphanages 

Reconsidered reveals the great value of providing a truly stable 

environment for youngsters, and explains how orphanages 

might again be a powerful social tool. 

Richard B. McKenzie grew up in Piedmont, North Carolina 

at Barium Springs Home for Children, an experience 

that led him to write The Home: A Memoir of Growing Up in 

an Orphanage (1996) and to edit Rethinking Orphanages for 

the 21st Century (1998). He is the Walter B. Gerken Professor 

of Enterprise and Society in the Graduate School of Management 

at the University of California, Irvine.

Greedy, Cowardly, 

and Weak 

Hollywood’s Jewish 

Stereotypes 

Henry Kellerman 

In Greedy, Cowardly, and Weak Henry 

Kellerman details the many ways Hollywood 

has created and perpetuated 

Jewish stereotypes since the dawn of 

filmmaking. Historically, Hollywood 

has stereotyped various groups. Italians 

are Mafioso, Irish are cops or 

priests, blacks are dangerous, Hispanics 

are crooks, and Asians are sly. What 

about Jews The answer is that Jews 

have been depicted as greedy, cowardly, 

and weak. Twenty movies spanning 

three quarters of a century 

uncover all of it—Jewish stereotypes 

hidden in plain sight. 

Henry Kellerman, Ph.D., is a clinical 

psychologist, psychoanalyst, and 

author. He lives and practices in New 

York, NY.

Healthy Eating With 

Chemotherapy 

Jose van Mil and Christina MacKenzie-Archer 

People undergoing chemotherapy as a treatment for 

cancer often experience changes in appetite and 

taste. Sugar may no longer taste sweet, the taste of salt 

might be non-existent, spicy food may be intolerable, 

and appreciation of subtle or strong flavors will vary 

from mealtime to mealtime. What should be pleasant, 

morale-boosting experiences, become a nightmare 

not only for the patient but also for the person doing 

the cooking. 

This book addresses these issues by providing 

healthy recipes that will excite the palate without overstimulating 

it. Texture is extremely important and is 

described in detail to enable the appropriate recipe to 

be chosen for a particular moment. This is an easy, 

flexible and appetizing guide, and a source of inspiration 

for everyday dishes that the patient is likely to 

enjoy—and be able to eat enough of to keep up their 

strength. 

José van Mil grew up in her father’s restaurant and 

trained at the Cordon Bleu Cookery School in London. 

She has written for Pink Ribbon, the magazine raising 

breast cancer awareness, and cooked for her husband 

during his chemotherapy treatment. She lives in Amstelveen, 

The Netherlands. Christina MacKenzie- 

Archer is a radiologist, and member of the Board of 

Governors of London’s University College Hospital.

Islam and AIDS 

Between Scorn, Pity, and Justice 

Edited by Farid Esack, Sarah Chiddy 

Islam and AIDS is the first book to comprehensively 

address the HIV/AIDS pandemic from an Islam perspective, 

with contributions from a number of internationally 

known activists and scholars of Islam. Religious 

leaders, whether Muslim or Catholic, have been frequently 

accused of denying the AIDS pandemic and 

encouraging the stigmatization of its sufferers. While 

often true, this view ignores the fact that religious 

communities have also been at the forefront of addressing 

the epidemic, which affects over thirty million 

sufferers worldwide. 

With an introduction by Peter Piot, Director of the 

Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS, this 

landmark work provides an insight into new possibilities 

of critical and progressive Islamic approaches, in 

both law and ethics, to one of the most urgent crises 

facing humankind today. 

Farid Esack is Visiting Professor of Islamic Studies, 

Harvard University, and author of The Qur’an: A Beginner’s 

Guide. He lives in South Africa. Sarah Chiddy has 

master’s degree from Harvard Divinity School and 

works as a spiritual counselor for people with HIV and 

AIDS in Boston, MA.

Never Enough 

One Lawyer’s True Story of How He 

Gambled His Career Away 

Michael J. Burke 

Never Enough is the shocking, true story of Michael 

J. Burke, who went from being a successful 

lawyer, loving father and husband, and respected 

member of his community to a closet alcoholic and 

gambling addict to the tune of $1,600,000, using 

client’s trust account funds. 

Follow Michael Burke through his arraignment, and 

the actual transcripts from his sentencing. Burke then 

shares stories of his prison life, and then the painful 

narrative of how his lies and deceit affected his family. 

In the last two chapters of this important book you’ll 

learn how you can identify a compulsive gambler, and 

what treatment options are available for this devastating 

disease. The appendix features a list of gambling 

addiction resources for each state. 

Never Enough is a succinct, powerful book that will 

open your eyes to the reality of gambling and alcohol 

addiction and what it can do to any professional’s 

life—even in the happiest and most successful of situations. 

Michael Burke lives in Howell, Michigan.

Lots of Scraps: 

It’s Time to Quilt 

Jeanne Stauffer 

Quilting has never been more popular. 

Early pioneers collected fabric 

scraps to make bed quilts and today’s 

quilters follow that same tradition. 

This book gives quilters the opportunity 

to use fabric scraps left over 

from other projects, or to use newly 

purchased fabrics, to make beautiful 

quilts. Great projects to give as gifts or 

to decorate their homes. 

In this collection, you’ll find a wide 

assortment of projects that are fun and 

easy: super scrappy bed quilts, one-ofa-kind 

wall quilts, extra-special baby 

quilts, attractive table runners and 

patchwork bags. Quilters of all ages 

and skill levels will enjoy making these 

quilts that are so uniquely their own. 

Jeanne Stauffer of Berne, Indiana 

has loved quilting since her childhood. 

To her, it’s always time to quilt—unless 

it’s time to buy more fabric.

Leadership 

Development Basics 

Karen Lawson 

Because the need for leaders has never been greater, 

organizations are identifying high potential employees 

and grooming them for their next roles as 

leaders. Unfortunately, more often than not the approach 

is not succinct and the candidate finds training 

through “trial and error” and “baptism by fire.” 

Leadership Development Basics offers readers the 

tools and techniques they need to design and implement 

a leadership development program in any size 

organization. Part of the popular Training Basics Series, 

Leadership Development Basics offers practical examples, 

worksheets, checklists, and other tools along with 

a set of icons that make it easy to apply the tips and 

exercises throughout the book. 

Dr. Karen Lawson is an international consultant, 

author, professional speaker, executive coach, and 

president of Lawson Consulting Group, Inc. She holds 

a doctorate in Adult and Organization Development 

from Temple University; an MA from the University of 

Akron; and a BA from Mount Union College. Lawson 

is currently an adjunct professor at Arcadia University 

in the International MBA program. She currently resides 

in Lansdale, PA.

Gardening On Mars 

Exotics in Deer Country and Beyond 

Mia Amato 

Have you heard of “extreme gardening” Mia 

Amato offers tips, tricks and plant selections from 

ten years of garden writing coast to coast. Adventurous 

gardeners who routinely ignore USDA plant hardiness 

maps and enjoy growing unusual vegetables and 

exotic flowers will find many new species to try. Fragrant 

orchids, lost Victorian violets, African lilies, Russian 

fruits and the world’s largest herbaceous 

perennial—which grows 30 feet in a single year—are 

just a few plants you can grow and have been grown 

by Mia. If the idea of growing redwoods on a raft in 

the Pacific Ocean (“technically possible if not practical”) 

appeals to your sense of gardening fun, you’ll 

enjoy this horticultural boost. Bonus: includes a list of 

“deer-proof” plants for exotic gardens.

Jailing the 

Johnston Gang 

Bruce E. Mowday 

Pennsylvania’s Johnston Gang, led by 

Bruce Sr. and his brothers Norman 

and David, ran a prolific burglary ring 

during the 1960s and ‘70s. But in 

1978, fearing that younger members 

of the gang were going to rat them 

out, the brothers killed four teenagers 

and nearly killed Bruce Sr.’s own son. 

This book draws on personal interviews 

with investigators, attorneys, and even 

former gang members to detail how 

the combined efforts of federal, state, 

and local law enforcement brought the 

brothers to justice. 

Bruce E. Mowday is a veteran journalist 

and author. He lives in Downington, 

PA.

Holy Stars! 

Favorite Deities, Prophets, Saints & 

Sages from Around the World 

Kathleen Edwards 

People everywhere revere familiar images and stories 

of religious figures to remind themselves of the spiritual 

dimensions of life. But many of us today are mystified 

by the spiritual icons we see. 

To be educated world citizens, it’s important to 

have basic religious literacy. Unlike comparative religion 

books that explain beliefs and traditions, Holy 

Stars! focuses on the most popular spiritual personalities 

worldwide—27 in all. It reveals the essential story 

of the religious figure seen on a taxi’s dashboard, mentioned 

in a news report, or glimpsed in a portrait on a 

neighbor’s living room wall. 

Lovely line drawings and handwritten text make 

this a gift book for all seasons, both for those versed in 

only one religion and for the growing number of 

Americans with no religious affiliation. In the contemporary 

context of religious discord, this ecumenical 

book could not be timelier in its inclusiveness and 

acceptance. 

Kathleen Edwards is an illustrator whose clients include 

HarperCollins, Chronicle Books, Conari Press, 

and Tarcher Putnam. She has won numerous awards 

for her illustrations and fine art, and has exhibited nationally 

in many venues. She lives in the San Francisco 

Bay Area.

The Zohar 

Annotations to the Ashlag Commentary 

Rav Michael Laitman, PhD 

The Book of Zohar (The Book of Radiance) is an ageless 

source of wisdom and the basis for all Kabbalistic 

literature. Since its appearance nearly 2,000 years 

ago, it has been the primary, and often only, source 

used by Kabbalists. 

For centuries, Kabbalah was hidden from the public, 

which was considered not yet ready to receive it. 

However, our generation has been designated by Kabbalists 

as the first generation that is ready to grasp the 

concepts in The Zohar. Now, we can put these principles 

into practice in our lives. 

Written in a unique and metaphorical language, 

The Zohar: Annotations to the Ashlag Commentary enriches 

our understanding of reality and expands our 

worldview. However, this text should not be read in an 

ordinary fashion. We should patiently and repeatedly 

read and think about each sentence as we try to penetrate 

the author’s feelings. We should read it slowly 

and try to extract the nuances of the text. 

Rav Michael Laitman, PhD is founder and president 

of the Bnei Baruch-Kabbalah, Education, and Research 

Institute, established to promote the spirituality 

of humankind through the study of Kabbalah. Laitman 

has a PhD in Philosophy, an MS in Medical Cybernetics 

and is a professor in Ontology and the Theory of 

Knowledge.

Buddhist Fasting 

Practice 

The Nyungne Method of Thousand- 

Armed Chenrezig 

Wangchen Rinpoche 

The Tibetan Buddhist practice of Nyungne 

(“nyoong-nay”) has been gaining increased attention 

in Buddhist centers across North America; participants 

say the practice purifies them both physically 

and spiritually. This volume is one of the few comprehensive 

treatments in English of these powerful teachings. 

Nyungne is a profound two-and-a-half-day practice, 

a length of time especially helpful for people 

whose schedules cannot accommodate long-term retreat. 

It involves the keeping of strict vows; the second 

day is devoted to complete silence and fasting. The 

meditation centers on the recitations, mantras, and 

guided visualizations of the Thousand-Armed Chenrezig, 

the embodiment of all the buddhas’ loving-kindness 

and compassion. Translated as “abiding in the 

fast,” Nyungne is said to be effective in the healing of 

illness, the nurturing of compassion, and the purification 

of negative karma. 

Wangchen Rinpoche is a student of Dorje Chang 

Kalu Rinpoche, with whom he lived and traveled from 

an early age. He is a master practitioner of Nyungne. 

He lives in Los Angeles, California. 


Indoctrination U. 

The Left’s War Against 

Academic Freedom 

David Horowitz 

In dramatic commentary, Indoctrination U. unveils the 

intellectual corruption of American universities by 

faculty activists who have turned America’s classrooms 

into indoctrination centers for their political causes. It 

describes how academic radicals with little regard for 

professional standards or the pluralistic foundations of 

American society have created an ideological curriculum 

that it is as odds with the traditional purposes of a 

democratic education. 

Indoctrination U. is also a riveting account of the reaction 

to Horowitz’s “Academic Bill of Rights” campaign 

by professor unions and academic associations, 

whose leaderships have been taken over by the political 

left. The story of the campaign against academic 

freedom, told in colorful detail in Indoctrination U., can 

also be read as a case study in the political methods of 

the radical left. 

David Horowitz is a nationally known author and 

lifelong civil rights activist. He is author of numerous 

books, including The End of Time, Unholy Alliance and 

Radical Son. He lives in Sherman Oaks, CA.

Disability Discrimination 

Law, Evidence and 

Testimony 

A Comprehensive Reference Manual 

for Lawyers, Judges and Disability 

Professionals 

John Parry 

Disability Discrimination Law, Evidence and Testimony 

explains and analyzes key aspects of disability discrimination 

law from several different perspectives to 

guide you through myriad federal and state statutes, 

court cases, and regulations. It covers employment, 

state and local government, public accommodations, 

telecommunications, housing and zoning, education, 

and criminal and civil institutions. Also included are 

detailed charts of relevant state statutory provisions 

and a history of disability discrimination law. The book 

also addresses practical ways to maximize the benefits 

of the client-lawyer relationship, including potentially 

divisive questions surrounding the need for accommodations 

and the ethical duties of lawyers to clients with 

disabilities. It also discusses expert evidence and testimony 

in disability discrimination cases. Includes numerous 

appendices to assist you in your research of 

disability discrimination cases. 

John Parry lives in Washington, D.C. 

The Playful Brain 

Sergio M. Pellis and Vivien C Pellis 

Despite over a hundred years of research and theorizing, 

questions concerning play behavior, such 

as what behavior qualifies as play, what brain mechanisms 

are needed to produce play, and of what benefit, 

if any, does play have to our lives remain 

unanswered. Over time, biologists, psychologists, anthropologists, 

and educators have generated more 

opinions than solid evidence. Indeed, in the history of 

the Western world, play has vacillated between being 

seen as instrumental to the development of healthy individuals 

and as a childish waste of time. 

With reference to a range of species, but using the 

feisty rat as their model, the authors synthesize three 

decades of empirical research to create the first truly 

integrated study that appreciates the significance of 

such previously neglected phenomena as the multifunctionality 

of play, the different forms of play that 

exist between species, and the evolutionary aspects 

that are responsible for it all. 

Professor Sergio M. Pellis and Associate Professor 

Vivien C. Pellis both work at the Canadian Centre for 

Behavioural Neuroscience at the University of Lethbridge, 

Alberta, Canada.

Enchantress of Nations 

Pauline Viardot: Soprano, Muse 

and Lover 

Michael Steen 

Enchantress of Nations is the lavish biography of 

Pauline Viardot whose life spanned most of the 

nineteenth century; and it also weaves a rich tapestry 

of music and literature in France, England and Russia. 

We meet George Sand, Dickens, Flaubert, Tolstoy and 

Dostoyevsky; Rossini, Berlioz, Chopin, and Charles 

Gounod, with whom Viardot had a stormy friendship; 

and especially the great Russian novelist Ivan Turgenev, 

with whom she had a passionate 40-year affair. 

Michael Steen recounts the back-stage bitchiness, 

robbery, duels and violence, life in Russia before the 

emancipation of the serfs, appalling disease and 

shocking poverty, and the unhappiness experienced 

by children of successful parents. Luxuriously produced 

with a color plate section, it opens a new vista 

on opera, nineteenth-century literature and history. 

Michael Steen OBE was born in Dublin. He was an 

organ scholar at Oxford, after the Royal College of 

Music and Eton. Since retirement from the City he has 

been chairman of the Royal College of Music Society 

and is chairman of the trustees of the Friends of the 

V&A Museum. He is the author of The Lives and Times 

of the Great Composers (OUP, 2004). He lives in Hampshire, 

England.

Cato Handbook 

on Policy 

7th Edition 

Edited by Edward H. Crane and David Boaz 

Now in its seventh edition, the Cato Handbook on 

Policy gathers the policy recommendations from 

Cato scholars and experts on every major policy issue. 

This year’s Handbook has a broad scope and appeals to 

policymakers on federal, state, and local levels. The 

Washington Post has called the Handbook “a soup-tonuts 

agenda to reduce spending, kill programs, terminate 

whole agencies, and dramatically restrict the 

power of the federal government.” 

Edward H. Crane is the president of the Cato Institute. 

David Boaz is the executive vice president. Both 

live in the Washington, D.C. area.

Anno Mortis 

Tomes of The Dead Series 

Rebecca Levene 

The year 40AD is drawing to a close, the last gasp of 

Caligula’s demented reign. Rome dominates the 

world, but something is festering at the heart of the 

Empire. Slaves are disappearing, the bodies of the 

dead are being stolen and mysterious shipments arrive 

from Egypt in the dead of night. Behind it all are the 

powerful Cult of Isis, searching for a way to breach the 

barrier between life and death. And the only people 

who can stop them are a barbarian gladiator, an overeducated 

slave, a horny teenager—and an enigmatic 

stranger who may or may not be the god Set. In order 

to save Rome, they must defeat the crazed Caligula, 

battle the undead hordes, and travel to the underworld 

itself to seal the gates of hell. 

Rebecca Levene has been a writer and editor for 

fifteen years. She’s written a children’s book about 

Captain Cook, several science-fiction and horror novels 

and a Beginner’s Guide to Poker. She was associate 

producer on the UK TV drama “Wild at Heart,” story 

consultant on the Chinese soap opera “Joy Luck 

Street,” script writer on “Family Affairs” and “Is Harry 

on the Boat” and part of the writing team for Channel 

5’s Swinging. She lives in London, UK.
