FRIENDFLUENCE
FLORA, CARLIN
Skylight Books – Hotlist Fall 2012
Features editor for Psychology Today Carlin Flora draws on the growing body of scientific reasearch into
friendships to illuminate how our friends powerfully influence our character, health, and mind. Very different lines
of psychological research have shown that friends oftentimes have a greater hand in our development and wellbeing
than do our parents or our romantic partners. FRIENDFLUENCE: The Surprising Ways Friends Make Us
Who We Are will illuminate and interpret the compelling science of friendship and illustrate its implications with
historical, famous, and real-life dramatic tales.

FUTURE PERFECT
JOHNSON, STEVEN
Combining the deft social analysis of Where Good Ideas Come From with the optimistic arguments of Everything
Bad Is Good For You, New York Times bestselling author Steven Johnson’s Future Perfect makes the case that
a new model of political change is on the rise, transforming everything from local governments to classrooms,
from protest movements to health care. Johnson paints a compelling portrait of this new political worldview --
influenced by the success and interconnectedness of the Internet, but not dependent on high-tech solutions --
that breaks with the conventional categories of liberal or conservative thinking.
