Hali Felt
SOUNDINGS
The Story of the Remarkable Woman Who Mapped the Ocean Floor
Publication: July 2012 Books Available
Editor: Gillian Blake Category: Biography
In SOUNDINGS, Hali Felt expertly brings to vivid life the story of
Marie Tharp, a pioneering scientist who literally changed the way we
view the earth. Trained as a geologist, but more important as a
draftsman, Marie took the soundings made by her male colleagues
who sailed on research vessels and set out to map the entire ocean
floor. When Marie undertook her work, “fixists” reigned among
geologists—prevailing thought was that the continents were fixed and
immobile. Marie’s unveiling of the mid-Atlantic ridge led to
revolutionary change in earth science, with her work still studied and
referred to by specialists. John Noble Wilford called her map the first
comprehensive map of the entire ocean floor, “one of the most
remarkable achievements in modern cartography.” Filled with vivid
moments and armed with materials (including private letters, photos,
interviews, personal objects and papers) not available to any other writers, Felt has taken a fresh and
utterly engaging approach to Marie’s story. Featuring a fascinating woman, scientific discovery akin
to a detective story and a monumental act that changed the way we view the world, this story has
something for everyone.
Hali Felt teaches writing at the University of Pittsburgh. She received her MFA from the University
of Iowa and has has reported for the Columbia Journalism Review and the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review. She
currently lives in Pittsburgh.
"Felt’s biography reimagines [Tharp's] progression from a nomadic childhood through scientific
breakthroughs with a vivid, poetic touch, revealing an idiosyncratic and determined woman whose
'vigorous creativity' advanced everyone’s career but her own.” – Publishers Weekly

Taras Grescoe
STRAPHANGER
Saving Our Cities and Ourselves from the Automobile
Publication: April 2012 Books Available
Editor: Gillian Blake Category: Current Events
"I am proud to call myself a straphanger," writes Taras Grescoe. The
perception of public transportation in America is often unflattering—
a squalid last resort for those with one too many drunk-driving
charges, too poor to afford insurance, or too decrepit to get behind
the wheel of a car. Indeed, a century of auto-centric culture and city
planning has left most of the country with public transportation that
is underfunded, ill maintained, and ill conceived. But as the demand
for petroleum is fast outpacing the world's supply, a revolution in
transportation is under way.
Grescoe explores the ascendance of the straphangers—the growing
number of people who rely on public transportation to go about the
business of their daily lives. On a journey that takes him around the
world—from New York to Moscow, Paris, Copenhagen, Tokyo,
Bogotá, Phoenix, Portland, Vancouver, and Philadelphia—Grescoe
profiles public transportation here and abroad, highlighting the people and ideas that may help undo
the damage that car-centric planning has done to our cities and create convenient, affordable, and
sustainable urban transportation—and better city living—for all.
Taras Grescoe is the award-winning author of four books and countless articles focusing on world
travel. He's written for The New York Times, The Times (London), Wired, the Chicago Tribune Magazine,
and The Los Angeles Times. He currently lives in Montreal. He has never owned a car.
All the cities we admire most in the world--the places young people want to live--boast great public
transit systems or are in the process of building them. As this splendid account makes clear, a car
isn't liberation: not needing a car is liberation!” - Bill McKibben, author Eaarth: Making a Life on
a Tough New Planet
"Grescoe presents a strong and timely argument for moving metropolitan motorists away from their
cars." – PublishersWeekly
[Straphanger] is rife with bits of interesting trivia, and it almost reads like a travelogue as the author
revels in the wonders of his diverse destinations. With a smooth, accessible narrative style…each
chapter is packed with important information… A captivating, convincing case for car-free—or at
least car-reduced—cities.” – Kirkus

HOW ABOUT NEVER…IS NEVER GOOD FOR YOU?
Publication: October 2013 Material available: Partial manuscript
Editor: Gillian Blake Category: Memoir
Bob Mankoff, cartoon editor at The New
Yorker for the past fifteen years, established
himself in the cartoon lexicon hall of fame with
one simple cartoon. It featured a drawing of a
businessman on the phone, looking at his
datebook. His words: “No, Thursday’s out.
How about never—is never good for you?” This
cartoon landed him lasting fame in the Yale
Book of Quotations.
HOW ABOUT NEVER is a unique memoir
in words, cartoons, and assorted imagery encompassing the author's childhood and career as a
cartoonist. Mankoff will examine the art and psychology of humor looking at how humor has
changed over the years and how that factors in to their decisions at the New Yorker and in his own
drawings.
As cartoon editor, Bob Mankoff has not only unearthed some of the best cartoonists at work today,
but has also expanded The New Yorker’s reach to include an annual cartoon issue, the incredibly
popular caption contest, and animated versions of the cartoons. The book will include over 100 of
his cartoons spanning his thirty year career.

Rick Atkinson
THE GUNS AT LAST LIGHT
The War in Western Europe, 1944-1945
Publication: May 2013 Manuscript available
Editor: John Sterling
It is the twentieth century’s unrivaled epic: at a staggering price, the United States and its allies
vanquished Hitler and liberated Europe. In the first two volumes of his bestselling Liberation Trilogy,
Rick Atkinson recounted the history of how the American-led coalition fought its way from North
Africa and Italy to the threshold of victory. Now he tells the most dramatic story of all—the titanic
battle in Western Europe.
D-Day marked the commencement of the war’s final campaign, and Atkinson’s astonishingly fresh
account of that enormous gamble sets the pace for the masterly narrative that follows. The brutal
fight in Normandy, the liberation of Paris, the disaster that was Market Garden, the horrific Battle of
the Bulge, and finally the thrust to the heart of the Third Reich—all these historic moments come
utterly alive. Atkinson tells the tale from the perspective of participants at every level, from
presidents and prime ministers to ambitious generals, from war-weary lieutenants to terrified teenage
riflemen. When the enemy at last surrenders, we understand anew both the devastating cost of this
global conflagration and the awe-inspiring effort that led to Germany’s defeat.
With the stirring final volume of this monumental trilogy, Rick Atkinson’s remarkable
accomplishment is manifest. He has produced the definitive chronicle of the war that restored
freedom to the West.
Rick Atkinson was a staff writer and senior editor at The Washington Post for twenty-five years. He
is the bestselling author of An Army at Dawn—winner of the Pulitzer Prize for history—The Day of
Battle, The Long Gray Line, In the Company of Soldiers, and Crusade. His many other awards include two
Pulitzer Prizes for journalism, the George Polk award, and the Pritzker Military Library Literature
Award. He and his wife live in Washington, D.C.
Praise for The Day of Battle
“The majestic sequel to his Pulitzer Prize-winning An Army at Dawn … Atkinson’s achievement is to
marry prodigious research with a superbly organized narrative and then to overlay the whole with
writing as powerful and elegant as any great narrative of war.” —The Wall Street Journal
“A triumph of narrative history, elegantly written, thick with unforgettable description and rooted in
the sight and sounds of battle.”—The New York Times

WHY MEN FAKE IT
The Truth About Men and Sex
Publication: April 2013 Manuscript available
Editor: Joanna Levine Category: Health
We live in a world filled with sexual imagery and information. At the
grocery check-out aisle Cosmo informs us about “Seven Sure-Fire
Ways to Achieve an Orgasm.” The internet readily provides images
and videos of every sexual fetish imaginable, and even the Kama Sutra
is now available online. Yet we seem to know nothing about sex that
really matters, especially when it comes to men.
In his book, Abraham Morgentaler, Director of Men’s Health Boston,
examines various male sexual issues--penis size, erectile dysfunction,
premature ejaculation, diminished sex drive—through medical
research illustrated by stories from his own private practice. The
stories range from the more common experiences—a man whose
erection is no longer adequate for intercourse, to the more unusual—a
man who fakes his orgasms.
The lack of intelligent discussion regarding men and sexuality has numerous consequences. We
have such little sense of what is normal and what is to be expected that we feel alone and uncertain,
prey to thoughts and fears that can be damaging to our health and relationships. Morgentaler’s book
will do for male sexuality what Terry Real’s I Don’t Want to Talk About It did for male depression.
Dr. Morgentaler, the Director of Men’s Health Boston, is an Associate Clinical Professor of
Urology at Harvard Medical School, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center. Dr. Morgentaler is a
regular contributor to television and radio shows addressing male issues, and has appeared on NBC
Nightly News, CBS Evening News, CNN with Anderson Cooper, and The Connection on NPR. Dr.
Morgentaler and his clinical work with testosterone were featured in The New Yorker, and his
comments have been published in journals such as Newsweek and US News and World Report. He
is the author of The Viagra Myth: The Surprising Impact on Love and Relationships, Male Body: A Physician's

KILLING KENNEDY
The End of Camelot
Publication: October 2012 Books available
Editor: Gillian Blake Category: History
More than a million readers have thrilled to Bill O'Reilly's Killing
Lincoln, the page-turning work of nonfiction about the shocking
assassination that changed the course of American history. Now the
anchor of The O'Reilly Factor recounts in gripping detail the brutal
murder of John Fitzgerald Kennedy—and how a sequence of
gunshots on a Dallas afternoon not only killed a beloved president but
also sent the nation into the cataclysmic division of the Vietnam War
and its culture-changing aftermath.
In January 1961, as the Cold War escalates, John F. Kennedy struggles
to contain the growth of Communism while he learns the hardships,
solitude, and temptations of what it means to be president of the
United States. Along the way he acquires a number of formidable
enemies, among them Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev, Cuban dictator Fidel Castro, and Alan Dulles,
director of the Central Intelligence Agency. In addition, powerful elements of organized crime have
begun to talk about targeting the president and his brother, Attorney General Robert Kennedy.
In the midst of a 1963 campaign trip to Texas, Kennedy is gunned down by an erratic young drifter
named Lee Harvey Oswald. The former Marine Corps sharpshooter escapes the scene, only to be
caught and shot dead while in police custody. The events leading up to the most notorious crime of
the twentieth century are almost as shocking as the assassination itself.
KILLING KENNEDY chronicles both the heroism and deceit of Camelot, bringing history to life
in ways that will profoundly move the reader. This may well be the most talked about book of the
year.

For the last 25 years, Charlie Burden has been driven to succeed – to
provide a secure future for his family. At 48, Charlie now faces a
present he no longer understands. Painful crevasses have opened up
in his marriage as his children, right on time, have moved on to their
own lives. And Charlie, who has scrapped his way to a top position at
a global engineering firm, finds his work – reviewing spreadsheets and
sitting in boardrooms – much less satisfying than the projects he
undertook as an engineer – building things he could touch, and adding
value he could see.
In her early 30’s, Natty Oakes is running for her life. Her favorite
jogging trail cuts a path around Angel Mountain, where her family has
eked out a living for generations. A self-effacing woman who coaches
a youth soccer team and cares for the elderly, Natty is the mother of
two, including a 12-year-old son with Down Syndrome. It is Natty’s son, nicknamed “the Pie Man,”

who he is and what’s most important in life.

THE BALLAD OF BARNABAS PIERKIEL
Publication: January 2014 Manuscript available: January 2013
Editor: Sarah Bowlin
THE BALLAD OF BARNABAS PIERKIEL, part picaresque
parody, part bawdy folk tale, is a wickedly funny, yet ominous tale set
in an imaginary Slavic village in 1939.
Barnabas is a bumbling pig herder with romantic delusions of
grandeur. Desperate to attract the voluptuous Roosha, Barnabas gets
caught up in a series of scandals and misadventures, mostly because
he is too clumsy to do otherwise. Zyzak’s wonderfully eccentric
supporting cast includes a suicidal priest haunted by the devil, a
teenage gypsy with mysterious powers, and a dim-witted vagabond
with a goat for a wife, just to name a few. Zyzak is wonderful at
portraying a range of oddball characters. But it is not all humor. After
all, it is 1939 in Eastern Europe. A prophet proclaims that war looms. After the hoodlums attack,
Barnabas shelters some gypsies and finds himself ostracized from society. Most in the village feel the
gypsies are the cause their woe.
Although the narrator maintains an ironic and often mocking distance from these characters, in the
end Zyzak’s humor isn’t so much searing or judgmental as it is delighting in the absurdity of the
human plight. Zyzak is a bright new talent. Her language is lush, vivid, and entirely fresh. Zyzak
should be considered in the same breath as Téa Obreht, Ramona Ausubel, and, of course, Gary
Shteyngart.
Magdalena Zyzak is the twenty-six-year-old Polish born screenwriter of Redland. This is her first
novel.
“Make way for Magdalena Zyzak! She writes in a way that is uniquely her own and she approaches
the English language with the joy and reverence of her countryman Joseph Conrad.” – Gary

JANA BIBI’S EXCELLENT FORTUNES
Publication: July 2012 Books available
Editor: Joanna Levine
In the first of a charming series, we meet Jana Bibi who has inherited
her grandfather’s house in India. Eschewing the norms of her uppercrust
upbringing, she moves with her chatty parrot, Mr. Ganguly, and
her loyal housekeeper, Mary, to a town where the local merchants are
philosophers, the chief of police is a tyrant, and a bagpipe-playing
Gurkha keeps the wild monkeys at bay. Settling in, Jana meets all the
colorful local characters who gather at the Why Not? tea shop-- her
neighbor, Feroze Ali Khan of Royal Tailors, who struggles with his
business and family, V.K. Ramachandran whose Treasure Emporium
is bursting at the seams with objects of unknown provenance, and
Rambir, editor of the local newspaper, who burns the midnight oil at
his printing press.
When word gets out that Hamara Nagar is in danger of being
drowned by a government dam, Jana is enlisted to help put the town
on the map. Hoping to attract tourists with promises of good things
to come, she stacks her deck of cards, readies her fine-feathered assistant, and Jana Bibi's Excellent
Fortunes is born.
Betsy Woodman spent ten childhood years in India, studied in France, Zambia, and the United
States, and now lives in her native New Hampshire. She has contributed nonfiction pieces and
several hundred book reviews to various publications, and was writer/editor for the award-winning
Public Radio International documentary series, Experiencing War.
“What a charming, engaging, and utterly delightful novel! It takes a writer of enormous talent and
heart, to say nothing of spiritual depth, to give us a life-affirming story such as this. I am already
impatient to get the next Jana Bibi book, because reading this novel put me in such a good mood…I
might have a t-shirt made up that says, Fire your therapist. Read Betsy Woodman.” – Elizabeth Berg,
author of Once Upon a Time There Was You and The Day I Ate Whatever I Wanted
“As if discovered in the library of an old country inn on a dark and rainy day, Jana Bibi’s Excellent

Publication: May 2013 Manuscript available
Editor: Joanna Levine
The Jolly Grant House still welcomes all its visitors with the sign: Jana Bibi’s Excellent Fortunes hanging
proudly outside its front door. Jana’s fortune-telling has brought a lot of attention to the small town
of Hamara Nagar, and now that the dust has settled and the town is safe from the threat of being
drowned by a government dam, all eyes are on the Scottish-born card-reader, Jana, and her feisty,
loose-beaked parrot, Mr. Ganguly. Some of these eyes, though, are not to be trusted and Mr.
Ganguly finds himself the target of a potential kidnapping that puts Jana and her household on edge.
Meanwhile, love is in the air and, thanks to Abenath’s Apothecary, it’s also in a bottle. He has created
an intoxicating brew that he calls Love Potion Number 10 that seems to have Jana’s head in a tizzy.
While she explores her newest hobby, dream interpretation, her head is swimming with questions: Is
a new love possible at age 59? If so, would she ever marry again? All around her she’s seeing different
kinds of love and connection—family, arranged marriages, chemical attractions, even intercontinental
romance between people who have only met via mail—so when an old flame arrives and rekindles
long gone feelings, Jana begins to think that that Love Potion Number 10 just might be the magic
elixir its inventor thinks it is.

THE PROPHET OF BONES
Publication: April 2013 Galleys available
Editor: Aaron Schlechter
THE PROPHET OF BONES is set in present day. But it is a
present day in which Darwin’s theory of evolution has fallen out of
favor with the scientific community as carbon dating confirmed once
and for all that the Earth was only 5,800 years old. Creationism is
taught in primary schools.
Paul Carlson, a brilliant young archaeologist, is dispatched to the
Indonesian island of Flores to take DNA samples from the bones of a
strange, new species of tool user—a species nicknamed “the hobbit.”
All agree that as God made Man in his image this is a species that
shouldn’t exist. In a world where science exists in parity with religion,
the repercussions of Paul’s discovery threaten to rip into the very
fabric of society. The status quo, in the form of the word’s
governments and Martial Johnston, the eccentric billionaire who
financed Paul’s dig, will stop at nothing to stop Paul as he flees
Indonesia armed with little more than his wits, struggling to unite the pieces of the puzzle he has
uncovered.
As action-packed and fast-paced as it is unique, THE PROPHET OF BONES introduces the
thriller world both to a spectacular new talent in Ted Kosmatka and a unique and complicated hero
in Paul Carlson.
Ted Kosmatka’s first novel, The Games, was published by Del-Rey . His short fiction has been
nominated for both the Nebula Award and the Theodore Sturgeon Memorial Award, and appeared
in numerous Year’s Best collections. He now works in the videogame industry, where he’s a full-time
writer at Valve, home of Half-Life, Portal and Dota 2.
Advance praise for THE PROPHET OF BONES :
“Some good writers are not good storytellers and some good storytellers are not good writer.
Fortunately for all of us, Ted Kosmatka is both an excellent writer and a hell of a storyteller… Prophet
of Bones is truly hard to put down. This is what a novel is about.”—Nelson DeMille
“A masterwork of intrigue and menace. I couldn't put Prophet of Bones down until I reached the
climax… An eye-opening and page-turning read without parallel.”—Clive Cussler

Breaking the Silence
OUR HARSH LOGIC
Israeli Soldiers’ Testimonies from the Occupied Territories, 2000-2010
Publication: September 2012 Books Available
Editor: Riva Hocherman
Originally published in Hebrew and English in Israel only under the
title Occupied Territories, this explosive book unearths the oral stories of
the Israel Defense Forces (IDF). Collected by the NGO “Breaking
the Silence,” a group of veterans of the Israeli army, the testimonials
document the daily miseries of the occupation. Many of the soldiers
were shocked by what they saw and experienced while others seem
emotionally void, desensitized by their daily tasks. The book unveils
the gap between the reality which the soldiers encounter in the
occupied territories and the silence they encounter at home. By
publishing soldiers' accounts, Breaking the Silence hopes to "force
Israeli society to address the reality which it created" and face the truth
about "abuse towards Palestinians, looting, and destruction of
property" that is familiar to soldiers. A deeply important book, OUR
HARSH LOGIC has been called “one of the most important (books)
published on Israel/Palestine in this generation” by David Shulman in the New York Review of
Books.
Breaking the Silence, one of Israel's most internationally lauded NGOs, was established in
Jerusalem in 2004 by Israel Defense Forces veterans to document the testimonies of Israeli soldiers
who have served in the occupied territories.
“To understand the issue more deeply, it’s crucial to see what the occupation really means on the
ground—and, apart from actually spending time in the occupied territories, there is no better way to
understand this reality than to read the volume of soldiers’ testimonies just published by the Israeli
peace group known as Breaking the Silence, a book, in my view, that is one of the most important
published on Israel/Palestine in this generation.” – David Shulman, New York Review of Books

Eve Ensler
IN THE BODY OF THE WORLD
Publication: April 2013 Manuscript available
Editor: Sara Bershtel
Playwright, author, and activist Eve Ensler has devoted her life to thinking about the female body—
how to talk about it, how to protect and value it. Yet as she recounts in this inspiring and lyrical
memoir, she spent much of her life disassociated from her own body—a disconnection first brought
on by her father’s battering and sexual abuse and her mother’s remoteness, and by her later exploits
with drugs, alcohol, and promiscuous sex. Her body was a machine to be mastered; she lived in her
head, estranged from her physical self and from nature. “Because I did not, could not inhabit my
body or the earth,” she writes, “I could not feel or know their pain.”
But Ensler is shocked out of her distance. On a trip to the Congo, she is shattered to encounter the
horrific rape and violence inflicted on the women. Soon after, she is diagnosed with uterine cancer,
and through months of harrowing treatment, she is forced to become first and foremost a body—
pricked, punctured, cut, scanned. It is then that all distance is erased. As she connects her own illness
to the devastation of the earth, her life force to the resilience of humanity, she is finally, fully--and
gratefully--joined to the body of the world.
Unflinching, at once intensely physical and profoundly spiritual, Ensler’s transformative work calls
on us all at last to embody our elemental connection to and responsibility for the world.
Eve Ensler is an internationally bestselling author and an acclaimed playwright whose works for the
stage include The Vagina Monologues, Necessary Targets, and The Good Body. She is the author of
Insecure at Last, a political memoir, and I Am An Emotional Creature (2010) which was a NYT
bestseller. Ensler is the founder of V-Day, the global movement to end violence against women and
girls which has raised more than $85 million since 1989. Eve Ensler lives in Paris and New York City.

GOING TO TEHRAN
Why the United States Must Come to Terms with the Islamic Republic
of Iran
Publication: January 2013 Galleys available
Editor: Sara Bershtel Category: Political Science
Less than a decade after Washington endorsed a fraudulent case for
invading Iraq, similarly misinformed and politically motivated claims
are pushing America toward war with Iran. Today the stakes are even
higher: such a war could break the back of America’s strained
superpower status. Challenging the daily clamor of U.S. saber-rattling,
Flynt and Hillary Mann Leverett argue that America should renounce
30 years of failed strategy and come to terms with Iran--just as Nixon
revolutionized U.S. foreign policy by going to Beijing, realigning
relations with China.
Former analysts in both the Bush and Clinton administrations, the
Leveretts offer a uniquely informed account of Iran as it actually is
today, not as many have caricatured it or wished it to be. They show
that Iran’s political order is not on the verge of collapse, that most
Iranians still support the Islamic Republic, and that Iran’s regional influence makes it critical to
progress in the Middle East. Drawing on years of research and access to high-level officials, GOING
TO TEHRAN explains how Iran sees the world and why its approach to foreign policy is hardly the
irrational behavior of a rogue nation.
A bold call for engagement, the Leveretts’ indispensable work makes it clear that America must “go
to Tehran” if it is to avert strategic catastrophe.
Flynt and Hillary Mann Leverett are two of America's most renowned Middle East analysts. They
have served in senior positions at the National Security Council and the State Department, and
currently teach international relations at Yale University. Flynt Leverett also directs the New America
Foundation's Iran Initiative. Their writing has appeared in the New York Times, Politico, Foreign Policy,
and Washington Monthly, among other publications. They live in northern Virginia.

Nick Turse
KILL ANYTHING THAT MOVES
The Real American War in Vietnam
Publication: January 2013 Galleys available
Editor: Sara Bershtel Category: History
Americans have long been taught that events such as the notorious
My Lai massacre were "isolated incidents" carried out by "a few bad
apples." However, as award-winning journalist and historian Nick
Turse demonstrates in this groundbreaking investigation, violence
against Vietnamese civilians was not at all exceptional but was
pervasive and systematic, the predictable consequence of orders to
"kill anything that moves."
Based on his decade long plunge into secret Pentagon files and
extensive interviews with American veterans and Vietnamese
survivors, Turse for the first time reveals the policies and actions that
resulted in two million killed and five million wounded. He lays out in
shocking detail the workings of a military machine that made crimes
in almost every American unit all but inevitable. Turse's account
moves from archives filled with Washington's suppressed war-crimes
investigations to the rural Vietnamese hamlets that bore the brunt of the war; from boot camps
where nervous young American soldiers learned to hate Vietnamese to bloodthirsty operations like
"Speedy Express" in which a general obsessed with body counts led soldiers to commit what one
participant called "a My Lai a month." Indeed, American violence against civilians was no isolated
incident of troops gone berserk but rather the product of carefully chosen policies, issued by
American officers and drilled into the troops to become an accepted fact of war.
Thousands of Vietnam books later, KILL ANYTHING THAT MOVES, devastating and
definitive, brings us face-to-face with the truth of a war that haunts Americans to this day.
Nick Turse is the author of The Complex. His investigations of U.S. war crimes in Vietnam have
gained him a Ridenhour Prize for Investigative Reporting and a Guggenheim Fellowship, among
other honors. He lives in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
Advance praise for KILL ANYTHING THAT MOVES:
“Nick Turse reminds us again, in this painful and important book, why war should always be a last
resort, and especially wars that have little to do with American national security. We failed, as Turse
makes clear, to deal after the Vietnam War with the murders that took place, and today—four
decades later—the lessons have yet to be learned. We still prefer kicking down doors to talking.”

Greg Grandin
A FLEECE OF CELESTIAL INNOCENCE and
GREATER AMERICA: Five Exceptional Centuries
Publication: October 2013, October 2014 Manuscript available: January 2013, January 2014
Editor: Sara Bershtel
In A FLEECE OF CELESTIAL INNOCENCE, Greg Grandin, National Book Award Finalist
for Fordlandia, narrates the true events of an 1804 slave ship revolt off the coast of remote southern
Chile which inspired Herman Melville’s acclaimed Benito Cereno and influenced Moby Dick.
The slave uprising on the Spanish schooner the Trial was similar to many such insurrections of the
time, like the well-known Amistad rebellion. At three in the morning, a week after setting sail from
Valparaiso and two days after Christmas, the ship’s slaves rose up, seized command, and killed most
of the Spaniards, including their owner, Alejandro Amanda. They spared Benito Cerreño, after he
promised to return the mainly Muslim slaves to Senegal. For forty days they skulked along the coast
of Chile seeking water and hiding from passing ships. Yet they were eventually spotted by an
American ship captained by Amasa Delano. He boarded the Trial and questioned the crew. All
seemed normal. The slaves acted as if they were still loyal to Cerreño and so Amasa left.
Grandin’s second book, GREATER AMERICA, is an important history of the Americas that
will be a serious study the likes we’ve not yet seen. It will provide the sweeping story of the
Western Hemisphere from European conquest, settlement, and frontier violence, through
commerce and industry, slavery and abolition, revolution and wars, to the dawn of the twentyfirst
century. It aims to do for America what Tony Judt did for Europe in his masterful Postwar,
which joined East and West together in a powerful narrative that changed the way we thought
about the continent.
By focusing on America in sum, this book will provide a new, fresh interpretation of its
parts: the United States and Latin America. Running through the narrative will be a strong,
wholly original conceptual argument. In Empire’s Workshop, Grandin focused on Latin
America’s role as a training ground for US imperial tactics and strategies in the twentieth
century. GREATER AMERICA will make a more exciting claim, arguing that centuries of
conquest, slavery, frontier bloodshed, war, and diplomacy not only helped shape the political
identities of the United States and Latin America but forged the laws, institutions, and ideals
that govern the modern world.

THE SECOND NUCLEAR AGE
Strategy, Danger, and the New Power Politics
Publication: November 2012 Galleys available
Editor: Paul Golob Category: Political Science
The cold war ended more than two decades ago, and with its end
came a reduction in the threat of nuclear weapons—a luxury that we
can no longer indulge. It's not just the threat of Iran getting the bomb
or North Korea doing something rash; the whole complexion of
global power politics is changing because of the reemergence of
nuclear weapons as a vital element of statecraft and power politics. In
short, we have entered the second nuclear age.
In this provocative and agenda-setting book, Paul Bracken of Yale
University argues that we need to pay renewed attention to nuclear
weapons and how their presence will transform the way crises develop
and escalate. He draws on his years of experience analyzing defense
strategy to make the case that the United States needs to start thinking
seriously about these issues once again, especially as new countries
acquire nuclear capabilities. He walks us through war-game scenarios that are all too realistic, to show
how nuclear weapons are changing the calculus of power politics, and he offers an incisive tour of
the Middle East, South Asia, and East Asia to underscore how the United States must not allow itself
to be unprepared for managing such crises.
Frank in its tone and farsighted in its analysis, THE SECOND NUCLEAR AGE is the essential
guide to the new rules of international politics.
There is a foreword written by Robert D. Kaplan, author of Balkan Ghosts.
Paul Bracken is the author of Fire in the East and The Command and Control of Nuclear Forces. He is a
professor of management and political science at Yale University, and was previously a member of
the senior staff of the Hudson Institute under Herman Kahn and a consultant to the Rand
Corporation. He serves on several Department of Defense advisory boards and works with global
multinational corporations on strategy and technology issues. He lives in Connecticut.

Chen Guangcheng
UNTITLED MEMOIR
Publication: October 2013 Manuscript: April 2013
Editor: John Sterling
This impassioned memoir by Chen Guangcheng, a Chinese rights activist and self-taught legal
advocate known world over for his outspoken views against the Chinese authorities’ disregard for the
rule of law, will tell the remarkable story of his childhood in China, his evolution as a political activist,
his imprisonment by the Chinese government, his escape from his heavily guarded home, his
departure from China, and his continuing fight for social justice.
Beginning with his early life growing up in the rural Dongshigu village as the blind and illiterate son
of a poor farmer, Chen will relate how he went from having no formal education to becoming a selftaught
“barefoot lawyer,” using what he learned to defend the poor and speak out against the
Chinese authorities. After bringing a class-action suit directed at abuse related to China’s punitive
one-child policy – which often resulted in forced abortions and sterilization--he was sentenced to
more than four years in prison. After his release, he was illegally detained at home for more than
nineteen months, during which time he and his family were harassed and tortured. Chen will
chronicle his dramatic escape from his heavily guarded home and his ultimately successful attempts
to seek refuge for himself, his wife and their two children, at the U.S. Embassy in Beijing. This book
is both Chen’s personal story and part of his continued effort to share with the world the conditions
in the vast stretches of rural China that most of us never see.
An extraordinary story of activism on both a personal and political level, readers around the world
will be astounded by the story of Chen’s life; and inspired by his transformation into a courageous
fighter for social justice and the rights of thousands of poor Chinese men and women.
Chen Guangcheng was born on November 12, 1971, in Shandong Province in China. A high fever
left him blind in infancy. He grew up in great poverty and to enrich his life he created his “own world
of experiences” from what he learned in nature. A self-taught barefoot lawyer, he hoped to defend
himself and to help others fight for civil rights in impoverished rural China. He has been politically
active for more than twenty years, speaking out against the government on many of their policies.
After bringing a lawsuit directed at abuse related to China’s punitive one-child policy he was arrested,
convicted and sentenced to jail in 2006. After his release in 2010, he was placed under illegal
detention. In April 2012, he escaped to Beijing, where he sought refuge and asked for the protection
of his family. His escape shone an international media spotlight on his cause and created tension
between the United States and China. Ultimately he was granted permission by the Chinese
government to leave for his studies abroad. Chen and his family now live in the United States where
he is a special student at the U.S.-Asia Law Institute at the New York University School of Law.

AND SO IT GOES
Kurt Vonnegut: A Life
Publication: November 2011 Category: Biography
Editor: Aaron Schlechter
From the National Bestselling author of Mockingbird: A Portrait of
Harper Lee comes the first authoritative and authorized biography of
Kurt Vonnegut Jr., a writer who changed the conversation of
American literature.
AND SO IT GOES is the culmination of five years of research and
writing. For the six months prior to Vonnegut’s death, Charles
Shields worked with the iconic novelist on an authorized portrait of
his life. Reluctant at first, Vonnegut came round to the idea of
revealing many heretofore little known events in his life, including:
the effects of his mother’s suicide; his internment as a POW in
Dresden during WWII; his many years as a literary failure before his
breakout success in his late 40’s; his adoption of three children when
they were orphaned by his sister and brother-in-law; and his
alcoholism and his own attempted suicide.
The twenty-first century has seen interest in and scholarship about Vonnegut's works grow even
stronger, and this is the first book to examine in full the life of one of the most influential iconoclasts
of his time.
Charles J. Shields is the author of Mockingbird: A Portrait of Harper Lee, the highly acclaimed,
bestselling biography of Harper Lee, and I Am Scout: The Biography of Harper Lee (Henry Holt Books
for Young Readers).

Anthony Bailey
VELÁZQUEZ AND THE SURRENDER OF BREDA
The Making of a Masterpiece
Publication: November 2011 Category: Biography
Editor: Jack Macrae
From the author of Vermeer: A View of Delft comes a narrative
account of the life of the renowned painter Velazquez. Set against the
end of the Spanish empire and the Rise of the Dutch Republic, this is
an account that delves into Velazquez's genius. At first sight, his
“Breda” appears to be a work of propaganda, a picture celebrating
Spanish success and magnanimity, and yet the picture hints at
different outcomes, its mastery defying the law about propaganda not
being art. As he did for Vermeer in A View of Delft, Bailey reveals that
Velazquez had a double life. He was not only a great artist, one of
the very greatest, but also an ambitious courtier in an etiquetteridden
court. He painted less as time went on and served the court
more. Bailey shows Velazquez as a realist who could imagine things,
such as the landscape at Breda he never actually saw, and as an artist
who could paint scenes of ordinary life as if they were part of a myth, and myths as real.
Anthony Bailey is the author of Vermeer: A View of Delft, two books on Rembrandt, the novel Major
Andre, and nineteen other books. A writer for The New Yorker for a quarter century, Bailey has been
called "one of the best descriptive writers of his generation" (John Russell, The New York Times).
"A superb account....wonderfully written."—The New Yorker
"This highly provocative, rich, and savory feast challenges readers to see great art with fresh eyes and
in context."—Kirkus
"In this witty, inquisitive, and redefining portrait…Bailey brings Velázquez forward as a brilliant and
complex artist navigating an exciting and dangerous world and enables us to see his ‘split-screen’
compositions as the cutting-edge creations they were nearly four centuries ago."—Booklist, Starred

THE RACE FOR WHAT’S LEFT
The Global Scramble for the World's Last Resources
Publication: March 2012 Category: Current Affairs
Editor: Sara Bershtel
The world is facing an unprecedented crisis of resource depletion--a
crisis that goes beyond “peak oil” to encompass shortages of coal and
natural gas, copper and cobalt, water and arable land. With all of the
Earth’s habitable areas already in use, the desperate hunt for supplies
has now reached the final frontiers. The Race for What’s Left takes us
from the Arctic to war zones to deep ocean floors, from a Russian
submarine planting the country’s flag under the North Pole to the
large-scale buying up of African farmland by Saudi Arabia and other
nations.
As Klare explains, this frenzy of extreme exploration and acquisition
carries grave consequences. With resource extraction growing more
complex, the environmental risks are becoming increasingly severe;
the Deepwater Horizon disaster is only a preview of the dangers to come.
At the same time, the intense search for dwindling supplies is igniting
new border disputes, raising the likelihood of military confrontation. The only way out, Klare argues,
will be to alter our consumption patterns altogether--a crucial task that will be the greatest challenge
of the coming century.
Michael Klare is the author of Resource Wars, Blood and Oil, and Rising Powers, Shrinking Planet.
Klare, the Five College Professor of Program Peace and World Security Studies at Hampshire
College in Amherst. Klare also serves on the boards of directors of Human Rights Watch, and the
Arms Control Association. He is a regular contributor to many publications including The Nation,
TomDispatch, Mother Jones, and is a frequent columnist for Foreign Policy In Focus.
“If you think oil is the only major thing we’re running short of, think again. Michael Klare has long
been farsighted about the many hazards of a resource-hungry world, and this crisp, authoritative
survey does more than just show what the other dangers are. It also feels like a guidebook to wars to
come.” —Adam Hochschild, author of King Leopold’s Ghost

THE FRIENDS OF EDDIE COYLE
A Novel
Eddie Coyle is a small-time punk with a big time problem—who to
sell out to avoid being sent up again. Eddie works for Jimmy Scalisi,
supplying him with guns for a couple for bank jobs. But a cop
named Foly is onto Eddie, and he’s leaning on him to finger Scalisi, a
gang leader with a lot to hide. These and others make up the bunch
of hoods, gunmen, thieves, and executioners who are wheeling,
dealing, chasing, and stealing in the underworld of Eddie Coyle.
“Simultaneously a brilliant thriller and a cold and convincing business
prospectus of felony.” –The New Yorker
“First-rate, absolutely convincing, enormously readable.” –The
“Chilling… the most penetrating glimpse yet into what seems the real world of crime… Positively
reeking with authenticity.” –The New York Times Book Review
“Higgins can plot a whole book like one log chase scene. He can write dialogue so authentic it
spits… This cops-and-robbers novel qualifies him for the corner table where all the best tellers of
low tales sit.” –Life
