Original 

skip shmuley is the pseudonym for a famous television comedy 

writer who would prefer to stay on the Devil’s good side.

A sharp-edged and hilarious parody of the 

bestseller Heaven Is for Real—written by 

someone who has been to hell and returned 

to tell, and sell, the tale 

The world knows the amazing story of little Colton Burpo, who nearly died during an emergency 

appendectomy, and then, while in a coma, went to heaven. His father, Todd Burpo, went on to 

write Heaven Is for Real, which has sold over one million copies—deservedly so. Only a cynic 

would believe that an evangelical pastor with outstanding medical bills and a child who had 

heard 52,000 Bible stories might be tempted to do the following: 

1) Prompt the boy with leading questions 

2) Write a book with a professional author, and 

3) Make big bucks from it 

But this is Skip Shmuley’s story, not the Burpos’. Skip is a middle-aged husband who faced 

death during a vasectomy gone terribly wrong. At first, he rose skyward . . . 

“Then Jesus spoke. In Spanish. (Apparently, he’s a big fan of Rosetta Stone.) Jesus smiled and 

I never felt more safe. He was amazing, 6’3”, buff, perfect nose, blond hair and blue eyes, 

just like everyone in the Middle East 2,000 years ago. He raised his hand, as if to give me 

a blessing, and he said, “Have fun in hell.” The hysterical laughter that followed, by Jesus, 

Mohammed, Moses, L. Ron, and the gang was a sure sign of how they spent their days, 

taunting people with bait and switch.”

An irresistible World War II story of a forbidden 

upstairs-downstairs romance in a great English 

country house 

It’s the spring of 1938 and no longer safe to be a Jew in 

Vienna. Nineteen-year-old Elise Landau realizes her only 

means of escape is to advertise her services as a domestic 

servant in England. Fate brings her ad to the attention of 

Christopher Rivers, handsome scion of the aristocratic 

Rivers family and master of Tyneford. An anxious Elise 

arrives at Tyneford and immediately falls under its spell. 

When Christopher’s young son, Kit, returns home, the 

two strike up an unlikely friendship that will change 

Tyneford—and Elise—forever. 

A page-turning tale of family, love, loss, and the power 

of the human spirit set against the perennially popular 

backdrop of World War II England. Natasha Solomons’s 

The House at Tyneford is upmarket romantic fiction at its 

best. 

“A deeply touching and blissfully romantic 

elegy for a lost world.” 

—The Times (London) 

“I really didn’t want to put this book down. 

I didn’t just want to know what happened, 

I wanted to stay with the people and find 

out how their stories continued. This book 

is a real gem.” —The Bookseller (UK) 

“A vivid and poignant story about hope, 

loss and reinvention.” 

—Psychologies Magazine (UK) 

I looked up and saw in the gloom a man of about forty with dark hair, and a slight smile 

playing around his eyes. Anna would have called him handsome, but I knew that men of 

forty were far too old to be considered any such thing. “Christopher Rivers,” he said. 

“Elise Landau,” I said, offering him my hand. 

He glanced at my proffered hand for a moment, before clasping it warmly between both of his. I 

reddened, suddenly remembering that I was a maid now, and didn’t shake hands with gentlemen.

“Bent Road is a remarkably assured debut novel. 

Rich and evocative . . . a welcome addition to 

American fiction.’’ —Dennis Lehane 

For twenty years, Celia Scott has watched her husband, 

Arthur, hide from the secrets surrounding his sister Eve’s 

death. As a young man, Arthur fled Kansas, moved to 

Detroit, married Celia, and never looked back—until the 

1967 riots frighten him even more than his past. Returning 

to Bent Road, he and their oldest daughter slip easily into 

rural life, but Celia and their two younger children grapple 

with loneliness and the brutality of life and death on a 

farm. Then, a local girl disappears, catapulting the family 

headlong into a dead man’s curve . . . 

“Even the simplest scenes crackle with 

suspense.” —Beth Perry, People 

“Don’t be fooled by the novel’s apparent 

simplicity: What emerges . . . is a tale of 

extraordinary emotional power.” 

—Sarah Weinman, NPR.org 

“A winner . . . Its shocking twists and turns 

will keep you turning page after page.” 

—Jack Goodstein, 

Seattle Post-Intelligencer 

“Haunting . . . Writing with a delicate 

touch but great strength of purpose.” 

—Marilyn Stasio, 

The New York Times Book Review 

“Lori Roy masterfully mixes a noir approach 

with gothic undertones for an engrossing 

story. . . . Bent Road is one of the best 

debuts of 2011.” —Oline Cogdill, 

McClatchy-Tribune Information Services 

Not once, in all their time together, has Arthur taken Celia back to his home town, never 

even considered a visit. Here, on Bent Road, he lost his oldest sister, Eve, when she was a 

teenager. She died, killed in a fashion that Arthur has never been willing to share. He’ll look 

at Evie sometimes, their youngest daughter, usually when the morning light catches her blue 

eyes or when her hair is freshly washed and combed, and he’ll smile and say that she is the 

spitting image of his sister. Nothing more, rarely uses her name—Eve. But now, the closer he 

gets to home, the faster he drives, as if he is suddenly regretting all those years away.

“Truly unforgettable.” —BookPage 

The Union Quilters is Jennifer Chiaverini’s latest 

bestseller—and her most captivating story yet. 

In 1862, the men of Water’s Ford, Pennsylvania, rally to 

President Lincoln’s call to arms while Dorothea Granger 

marshals her friends to “wield their needles for the 

Union.” As the women work, hope, and pray, the men 

they love confront loneliness, boredom, and danger on the 

battlefield. But the women of the sewing circle also forge 

a new independence that will forever alter the patchwork 

of life in the Elm Creek Valley. 

“Fascinating . . . the story of the home 

[front] is a compelling one. Although we 

might know how the big picture turned 

out, the individual stories presented here 

are rivetingly new.” —Romantic Times 

“With a sharp eye to detail and historical 

fact, Chiaverini has combined the stories 

of women left behind during war with 

how quilting allowed the women to cope 

to create an intriguing story.” 

—Times Record News (Wichita Falls, TX) 

“Continues to delight followers and 

newcomers alike.” 

—Wisconsin State Journal 

Whenever the sewing circle had gathered at Two Bears Farm for a quilting bee, their 

conversation had quickly turned to the latest news from beyond the Elm Creek Valley. . . . 

Surrounded by the rolling Appalachians, with the nearest train station a difficult half day’s 

ride through the southern pass, they had often felt isolated from the outside world, but the 

threat against their nation had filled them with apprehension, for they had known that even 

if war did not find them in their homes, their men would go forth to meet it.

A delectable comedy for every woman who’s 

ever wondered if buying that six-dollar box of 

organic crackers makes her a hero or a sucker 

Julia Bailey is a mompreneur with too many principles and 

too little time. Her fledgling company, Julia’s Child, makes 

organic toddler meals like Gentle Lentil and Give Peas a 

Chance. But turning a profit while saving the world proves 

tricky as Julia must face a ninety-two-pound TV diva, an 

ill-timed protest rally, and a room full of one hundred 

lactating breasts. Will she get her big break before her 

family reaches the breaking point? In the end, it is a story 

about motherhood’s choices: organic versus local, paper 

versus plastic, staying at home versus risking it all. 

A cookbook author’s hilarious fiction debut, Julia’s Child 

will have foodies and all-natural mamas alike laughing, 

cheering, and asking for more. 

“Any harried mom who’s ever chased 

a toddler with a carrot or run her own 

fledgling business (or done both—while 

getting dressed and wrangling the nanny 

and closing a deal on the phone and 

getting spinach out of her hair) will devour 

Julia’s Child.” —Sarah-Kate Lynch, author 

of House of Daughters and Dolci di Love 

“Hilarious and moving, I actually missed 

my subway stop reading Julia’s Child. Any 

parent will relate to Julia’s misadventures 

and triumphs as she tries to have it all.” 

—Alice Bradley, blogger at Finslippy.com 

and coauthor of Let’s Panic About Babies 

“I made the flyers,” Marta announced. She wiped her hands dry on her apron and then 

pulled a colorful page from a Kinko’s envelope. “Julia’s Child Sold Here!” There was a pretty 

photo of our packaging. But I also saw a small inset photograph of me cuddling Wylie 

against the leafy backdrop of the playground. I blinked. “My picture? Where’d you get that?” 

“Luke,” she said breezily. “The colors work—don’t you think?” She admired her work. 

“Green words, green trees, green product. Green mommy. Save the world. Get it?” She 

pulled on a hairnet. “Subtle,” I said.

association’s Journal of Economic Perspectives. He won numerous 

teaching awards for his classes at stanford university and was 

named a distinguished lecturer at the university of minnesota. He 

lives in st. Paul, minnesota.

The Great Courses provide a one-stop 

shop for understanding the key principles 

of economics—both macroeconomics and 

microeconomics. 

Regardless of their level of education, most people wish they 

understood economics better. Award-winning professor 

Timothy Taylor translates the subject’s complicated 

principles into easy-to-understand language, tackling all 

the key questions and hot topics of microeconomics and 

macroeconomics, including: 

• Why do budget deficits matter? 

• What exactly does the Federal Reserve do? 

• Does globalization take jobs away from American 

workers? 

• Why is health insurance so costly? 

Drawn from one of The Teaching Company’s most popular 

courses, The Instant Economist is sure to become the go- 

to primer in a popular category. 

From the table of contents: 

Chapter 1: How Economists Think 

Chapter 2: Division of Labor 

Chapter 3: Supply and Demand 

Chapter 4: Price Floors and Ceilings 

Chapter 5: Elasticity

Chapter 8: Personal Investing 

Chapter 9: From Perfect Competition to

Chapter 10: Antitrust and Competition

and much more 

I have been asked many times by many people to recommend “just one book” that 

explains economics. These people have their own views on politics and policy, but they 

are self-aware enough to recognize that at least some of their views are built on a shaky or 

nonexistent understanding of economics. I can sympathize. There are dozens of books out 

there on economics—freaky and otherwise—but I’m hard-pressed to point to a readable 

non-textbook that would give a soup-to-nuts understanding of the key principles of 

economics. I hope that book you hold in your hands will impart a working understanding of 

both micro- and macroeconomics.

twenty Reasons Why Growing old is Great 

Virginia ironside is sixty-five and she wants readers to know that getting old is 

a good thing—and not in that dreadful “sixty is the new forty” way. in twenty 

refreshingly outspoken chapters, Virginia celebrates all the issues that she and 

her fellow oldies face, including: 

• “ailments” (and the fabulous meds that come with them) 

• “Grandchildren” (the reward you get for not killing your children) 

• “Wisdom” (random disorganized knowledge you get to put a fancy 

label on because you’re old) 

for fans of nora ephron and the humorous poetry of judith Viorst, You’re Old, 

I’m Old . . . Get Used to It! delivers a welcome message to baby boomer women 

everywhere.

The #1 New York Times bestselling author of 

Women Food and God maps a path to meeting 

one of our greatest challenges—how we deal 

with money 

When Geneen Roth and her husband lost their life savings 

in the Bernard Madoff debacle, Roth joined the millions of 

Americans dealing with financial turbulence, uncertainty, 

and abrupt reversals in their expectations. The resulting 

shock was the catalyst for her to explore how women’s 

habits and behaviors around money—as with food—can 

lead to exactly the situations they most want to avoid. Roth 

identified her own unconscious choices: binge shopping 

followed by periods of budgetary self-deprivation, 

“treating” herself in ways that ultimately failed to sustain, 

and using money as a substitute for love, among others. As 

she examined the deep sources of these habits, she faced 

the hard truth about where her “self-protective” financial 

decisions had led. With irreverent humor and hard-won 

wisdom, she offers provocative and radical strategies for 

transforming how we feel and behave about the resources 

that should, and can, sustain and support our lives.

Many young people face daily tormenting and bullying, 

especially LGBT kids and teens. In response to a number 

of tragic suicides by LGBT students, Dan Savage and his 

partner, Terry Miller, made a YouTube video speaking 

openly about the bullying they suffered and the rewarding 

adult lives they both went on to lead. This launched the 

It Gets Better Project YouTube channel and a worldwide 

phenomenon that’s been featured everywhere from the 

blogosphere to NBC News and MTV. 

Bringing together original essays and expanded 

testimonials written to teens from celebrities, political 

leaders, and everyday people, this eponymous collection 

is a moving and invaluable resource for LGBT teens 

everywhere. 

“Handpicked and heartfelt essays.”

soul—or, you know, any soul not clouded

“It Gets Better is one of those books that 

slams you from emotion to emotion in six

“Okay. Listen up, people. It gets better. You being here makes this world a more blessed 

place. There’s art to be made. And there are songs to be sung. There’s so much to learn about 

yourself. There are sexy people to make out with. Yeah. There’s joy coming for you. So stay

Dorothy allison 

bastard out of carolina 

20th anniversary edition 

the publication of Dorothy allison’s Bastard Out of Carolina was a landmark 

event. the novel’s profound portrait of family dynamics in the rural south 

won the author a national book award nomination and launched her into 

the literary spotlight. critics have likened allison to William faulkner, flannery 

o’connor, and Harper lee, naming her the first writer of her generation 

to dramatize the lives and language of poor whites in the south. since its 

appearance, the novel has inspired an award-winning film and has been banned 

from libraries and classrooms, championed by fans, and defended by critics. 

Greenville county, south carolina, is a wild, lush place that is home to the 

boatwright family—a tight-knit clan of rough-hewn, hard-drinking men who shoot 

up each other’s trucks, and indomitable women who get married young and age 

too quickly. at the heart of this story is Ruth anne boatwright, known simply 

as bone, a bastard child who observes the world around her with a mercilessly 

keen perspective. When her stepfather Daddy Glen, “cold as death, mean as a 

snake,” becomes increasingly more vicious toward her, bone finds herself caught 

in a family triangle that tests the loyalty of her mother, anney—and leads to a 

final, harrowing encounter from which there can be no turning back. 

“Simply stunning . . . as close to flawless as any reader could ask for.” 

—The New York Times Book Review

“A heartfelt, engaging love story set against the 

fascinating backdrop of the war in the Pacific.” 

—Kristin Hannah, author of Night Road 

In the summer of 1942, twenty-one-year-old Anne 

Calloway, newly engaged, sets off to serve in the Army 

Nurse Corps on the Pacific island of Bora Bora. More 

exhilarated by the adventure of a lifetime than she ever 

was by her predictable fiancé, she is drawn to a mysterious 

soldier named Westry, and their friendship soon blossoms 

into hues as deep as the hibiscus flowers native to the 

island. Under the thatched roof of an abandoned beach 

bungalow, the two share a private world—until they 

witness a gruesome crime, Westry is suddenly redeployed, 

and the idyll vanishes into the winds of war. 

A timeless story of enduring passion, The Bungalow 

chronicles Anne’s determination to discover the truth 

about the twin losses—of life, and of love—that have 

haunted her for sixty years. 

“The Bungalow reads smooth as a summer 

day, but Jio’s plot races forward with 

unexpected twists and timeless, haunting 

love that make you cheer and cry and ache 

for more.” —Carol Cassella, national 

bestselling author of Oxygen and Healer 

Praise for The Violets of March 

“Feed the kids before you settle in with 

journalist Sarah Jio’s engrossing first 

novel, The Violets of March. This mysteryslash-love 

story will have you racing to 

the end—cries of ‘Mom, I’m hungry!’ be 

damned!” —Redbook 

“A novel that reminds us how the past 

comes back to haunt us, and packs a few 

great surprises for the reader along the 

way.” 

—Jodi Picoult, author of Sing You Home 

I eyed the curtains on the windows, ragged from the weather, yet still a brilliant burgundy, as 

if the fabric had been soaked in wine. “OK, so he’s a poor, shipwrecked, French sailor who 

likes to read,” I said. “And likes to drink,” Westry said, holding up a dusty green glass vessel, 

sealed with a cork. “Red wine.” 

“And appreciates art,” I said, pulling away a scrap of burlap that covered a painting hanging 

over the bed. The canvas depicted an arresting scene: a bungalow, just like the very one we 

found ourselves in, nestled between impossibly blue water and a hibiscus bush flowering 

vibrant yellow. Two figures stood in the distance.

“All you need to know about the industry 

at a time of momentous change.” 

—Drake McFeely, chairman and president, 

W. W. Norton & Company 

For nearly five centuries, the world of book publishing 

remained largely static. But at the dawn of the twenty-first 

century, the industry faces a combination of economic 

pressures and technological change that is forcing 

publishers to alter their practices and think hard about the 

future of the book. 

John Thompson’s riveting account dissects the roles of 

publishers, agents, and booksellers in the United States 

and Britain, charting their transformation since the 1960s. 

Offering an in-depth analysis of how the digital revolution 

is changing the game today, Merchants of Culture is the 

one book that anyone with a stake in the industry needs 

to read. 

“Invaluable.” —Morgan Entrekin, 

CEO and publisher, Grove Atlantic 

“The only thing I’ve ever read about our 

industry that has really got it.” 

—William Shinker, 

president and publisher of Gotham Books 

and Avery Books, Penguin Group (USA) 

“The truth is that we’re in the middle of a revolution, and no one knows what its 

outcome is going to be. No one. The death of the book-publishing industry has been 

wrongly foretold many times. I think we’re going to see a very complex metamorphosis of 

the field, in which print books and e-books are going to live alongside each other.”

improving the Ways the World’s Poor borrow, save, 

farm, learn, and stay Healthy 

over the last fifty years, american individuals and institutions spent billions of 

dollars to ease global poverty, but accomplished almost nothing. yet there is still 

hope—if we invest our money right. Highlighting some of the most innovative 

and successful development interventions around the globe, Dean karlan 

and jacob appel provide the missing evidence about what works and what 

doesn’t. from kenya—where teenagers reduced their risk of contracting aiDs 

by having more unprotected sex with partners their own age—to mexico, 

where giving kids a $1 deworming pill boosted school attendance better than 

paying their families to send them, More Than Good Intentions will educate and 

enlighten anyone interested in the well-being of the world. 

“A sprightly read that offers many eye-opening, real-world examples 

of how international development aid can actually work.” 

—John Mecklin, Miller-McCune 

“A page-turner that guides donors to strategies that improve 

the lives of the world’s poorest people.”

MICHAEL OHER is an American football offensive tackle for the 

Baltimore Ravens. He was drafted in the first round of the 2009 

NFL draft after playing at the University of Mississippi. 

DON YAEGER is a former associate editor for Sports Illustrated.

The inspirational New York Times bestseller, 

now in paperback 

The football star made famous in the hit film (and book) 

The Blind Side reflects on how far he has come from 

the circumstances of his youth. Michael Oher shares his 

personal account of his story, offering his point of view on 

how anyone can achieve a better life. 

Looking back on how he went from being a homeless 

child in Memphis to playing in the NFL, Michael talks 

about the goals he had to break out of the cycle of poverty, 

addiction, and hopelessness that trapped his family. 

Eventually he grasped onto football as his ticket out and 

worked hard to make his dream into a reality. With his 

adoptive family, the Touhys, and other influential people 

in mind, he describes the absolute necessity of seeking out 

positive role models and good friends who share the same 

values to achieve one’s dreams. Sharing untold stories of 

heartache, determination, courage, and love, I Beat the 

Odds is an incredibly rousing tale of one young man’s 

quest to achieve the American dream. 

“The real Michael Oher just might be the 

first person with more sparkle and good 

looks than his movie counterpart . . . 

the book offers a harrowing first-person 

account from a child’s point of view of the 

Dickensian conditions many American kids 

endure.” —USA Today 

“With the release of his memoir . . . Oher 

finally takes ownership, filling the gaps 

in the familiar narrative and somehow 

managing to make his journey from 

the streets to stardom seem even more 

amazing and compelling . . . I Beat the 

Odds is thoughtful and heartfelt, a young 

man coming to grips with an amazing 

journey that required the distance of years 

and perspective to fully grasp.”

“One of America’s great chefs” (Vogue) shares 

how his drive to cook immaculate food fueled 

his miraculous triumph over tongue cancer. 

By 2007 chef Grant Achatz had been named one of 

the best new chefs in America by Food & Wine, he had 

received the James Beard Foundation Rising Star Chef of 

the Year Award, and he and Nick Kokonas had opened the 

conceptually radical restaurant Alinea, which was named 

Best Restaurant in America by Gourmet magazine. Then, 

positioned firmly in the world’s culinary spotlight, Achatz 

was diagnosed with stage IV squamous cell carcinoma— 

tongue cancer. 

The prognosis grim, Grant undertook an alternative 

treatment of aggressive chemotherapy and radiation that 

ravaged his body and left him without a sense of taste. 

Tapping into his profound discipline and passion, he 

trained his chefs to mimic his palate and learned how to 

cook with his other senses. As Kokonas was able to attest, 

the food was never better. Five months later, Grant was 

declared cancer-free and went on to achieve some of the 

highest honors in the culinary world. Life, on the Line is 

not only a chef’s memoir, it is also a book about survival, 

about nurturing creativity, and about profound friendship. 

“Compulsively readable. You want to know 

who this guy is, and Life, on the Line 

delivers.” —Chicago magazine 

“A compelling tale of artistic genius.” 

— The Associated Press 

“A fascinating chronicle of life in the bootcamp 

kitchens of great restaurants.” 

— The Wall Street Journal 

“A truly inspiring story — not only as a chef 

but as a person.”

the Pun also Rises 

How the Humble Pun Revolutionized language, changed 

History, and made Wordplay more than some antics 

in The Pun Also Rises, john Pollack—a former World Pun champion and 

presidential speechwriter for bill clinton—explains why puns matter: they 

revolutionized language and played a pivotal role in making the modern world 

possible. skillfully weaving together stories and evidence from history, brain 

science, pop culture, literature, anthropology, and humor, The Pun Also Rises is an 

authoritative yet playful exploration of puns. 

With an engaging narrative, this book answers fundamental questions: just 

what are puns? Why do people make them? How did punning impact the 

development of human language, and how did that drive creativity and 

progress? and why, after centuries of decline, does the pun still matter? 

at once entertaining and educational, this engaging book builds a compelling 

case for the powerful and enduring role of puns in human discourse and 

innovation, and why they’ll always be more than just some antics. 

“[A] compelling exegesis on what puns are and why they matter.”

Rock and Roll baby names 

over 2,000 music-inspired names, from alison to Ziggy 

What do we know about caroline? neil Diamond says she’s sweet and the 

beach boys say she prefers short hair when she’s older. and what about guys 

named Victor? Prince and blondie say Victor is possibly a saint, but also flees 

from the law. offering the rock-and-roll definitions of these and dozens more 

popular names, the wildly popular Rock ’n’ Roll baby name Dictionary post 

on flavorwire drew over fifty thousand hits days after it was launched. now its 

creator, pop-culture writer margaret eby, rolls out the complete encyclopedia, 

from alison to Ziggy and everyone in between. 

Rock and Roll Baby Names lets every music-savvy parent discover a name’s role 

in rock history. each entry explains a classical definition and a definition of the 

name from song lyrics, along with fun “liner notes” about the featured song or 

band. sidebars include best Punk Rock names for boys and Weirdest Rock 

star children’s names, with quizzes such as Which Rebel name should you 

Give your Girl? every modern baby—from the Girl next Door to the Rebels 

and Renegades—will find a legendary legacy in these pages.

An expert fitness team shares their 

cutting-edge program for achieving stellar abs— 

in just three hours a week. 

A strong, athletic physique, highlighted by a flat midsection 

with well-defined abdominal muscles, is the goal of 

everyone who works out, from lifelong gym rats to the New 

Year’s resolution crowd. But most people who seek these 

goals undermine their efforts. In The New Rules of Lifting 

for Abs, Lou Schuler and Alwyn Cosgrove offer a unique 

program based on the latest breakthroughs in exercise 

science. And, as they did in their previous books, The New 

Rules of Lifting and The New Rules of Lifting for Women, the 

authors debunk ab-training myths while showing readers 

how to strip off even the most stubborn flab. 

Readers are given three months’ worth of workouts, 

combining fat-busting conditioning work with intense 

strength training, which they can easily expand into a 

yearlong program. Schuler and Cosgrove also include 

a nutrition component detailing how to eat for fat loss, 

muscle gain, and improved health. Home-gym friendly, 

and illustrated with more than 150 black-and-white 

photographs, The New Rules of Lifting for Abs delivers the 

goods. 

“All the crunches in the world won’t give 

you the six-pack you want. These exercises 

will.” —Men’s Health 

“Cosgrove and Schuler’s groundbreaking 

program is based on the concept that 

a healthy, sculpted body is the result of 

your muscles working the way they were 

intended.” —Women’s Health

Dog, inc. 

How a collection of Visionaries, Rebels, eccentrics, 

and their Pets launched the commercial Dog 

cloning industry 

it all began with a pit bull named booger. former miss Wyoming bernann 

mckinney was so distraught over the death of her dog, whom she regarded 

as her guardian and savior, that she paid $50,000 to Rnl bio for the chance 

to bring her beloved companion back to life. the result was a litter of five 

boogers—the first successful commercial cloning of a canine—delivered in 

2008, along with a slew of compelling questions about the boundaries of 

science, commerce, and ethics. blending shocking investigative reporting with 

colorful anecdotes, Pulitzer Prize–winning john Woestendiek takes readers 

behind the scenes of this emerging industry. 

but Dog, Inc. isn’t just a book about pets. nor is it just a book about science. 

Rather it’s a fascinating look at how our emotional needs are bending the 

reaches of science and technology, as well as a study of this uncharted territory. 

“John Woestendiek’s outstanding look at dog cloning explores 

what goes down when science, personal loss, and financial 

opportunism collide.” —Parade

an optimist’s tour 

of the future 

one curious man sets out to answer “What’s Next?” 

mark stevenson—a writer, deep thinker, and stand-up comedian—set out simply, 

asking, “What’s next for our species?” and then traveled the globe in pursuit 

of the answers. along the way, he visited the australian outback to visit the 

farmers who can save us from climate change, met a robot with mood swings, 

and talked to the spaniard who’s putting a hotel in space. While some might be 

overwhelmed, or even dismayed by the looming realities of genome sequencing, 

synthetic biology, a nuclear renaissance, and carbon scrubbing, stevenson remains, 

well, optimistic. Drawing on his singular humor and storytelling to break down 

these sometimes complicated discoveries, An Optimist’s Tour of the Future paints 

a wonderfully readable, and completely enthralling portrait of where we’ll be 

when we grow up—and why it’s not so scary. 

“Stevenson turns out to be an energetic tour guide to the cutting edge 

of science.” — The Washington Post

mike huckabee served as lieutenant governor of arkansas 

from 1993–1996 and as governor from 1996–2007. after coming 

in second place in the 2008 Republican presidential primaries, 

he became the host of the popular talk show Huckabee on fox 

news and The Huckabee Report on citadel Radio.

The New York Times bestseller that offers clear 

solutions to the key issues facing our nation. 

Armed with little money but a lot of common sense, 

former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee surprised the 

nation by coming in second during the 2008 Republican 

presidential primaries. He connected with millions of 

voters by calling for a smaller, simpler government that 

would get out of the way when appropriate. 

Now he’s written a book that sums up the twelve things 

we really need from Washington to get the country back 

on the right track.These twelve essential truths can help 

us tone down the partisan rancor and return to the simple 

principles of the Founding Fathers: liberty, justice, personal 

freedom, and civic virtue. 

Huckabee is one of the country’s most popular Republicans, 

and his voice will carry for years to come. 

“We need a simple government. Don’t get me wrong; I know that many of the nation’s problems 

are highly complex. But I also know that the governing principles that can solve them, if we 

work together, are simple.”

“A powerful and penetrating exploration of what 

separates great companies and great leaders from the 

rest.” —Polly LaBarre, coauthor of Mavericks at Work 

Why are some people and organizations more innovative, 

more influential, and more profitable than others? Why do 

some command greater loyalty? 

In studying the leaders who’ve had the greatest influence 

in the world, Simon Sinek discovered that they all think, 

act, and communicate in the exact same way—and it’s the 

complete opposite of what everyone else does. People like 

Martin Luther King Jr., Steve Jobs, and the Wright Brothers 

might have little in common, but they all started with why. 

Drawing on a wide range of real-life stories, Sinek weaves 

together a clear vision of what it truly takes to lead and 

inspire. 

“One of the most useful and powerful 

books I have read in years. Simple and 

elegant, it shows us how leaders should 

lead. Highly recommended!” 

—William Ury, coauthor of Getting to Yes 

“This book can lead you to levels 

of excellence you never considered 

attainable.” —General Chuck Horner, 

air boss, Operation Desert Storm 

“Apple, unlike its competitors, has defined itself by WHY it does things, not WHAT it 

does. It is not a computer company, but a company that challenges the status quo and 

offers individuals simpler alternatives. . . . Apple’s WHY was formed at its founding in the 

late 1970s and hasn’t changed to this date. Regardless of the products they make or the 

industries into which they migrate, their WHY still remains a constant.”

clutch 

excel under Pressure 

sooner or later everyone encounters a situation in which the stakes are high 

and the outcome is vital. and even top performers can crumble when faced 

with such extreme pressure. but then there are the performers who thrive 

under such conditions. in Clutch, you’ll meet: 

• a skinny sergeant who saved his battalion in iraq 

• a rookie baseball player who pitched his team into its first World series 

• a lawyer who struggled in school but became one of the top litigators 

in america 

according to sullivan, clutch performance does not stem from an innate ability. 

it’s a learned skill—the art of operating in high-stress situations as if they 

were everyday conditions. even some of the most experienced and talented 

performers lack this skill—but sullivan shows that anyone can develop it. 

“A well-written examination of what makes a person perform 

despite stress.” —Time

Times. His articles have appeared in condé nast Portfolio, The International

“Porter’s work ought to ring up the audience 

for Steven Levitt’s Freakonomics.” —Booklist 

Many of the prices we pay seem to make little sense. 

We shell out $2.29 for coffee at Starbucks when a nearly 

identical brew can be had at the corner deli for less 

than a dollar. We may be less willing to give blood for 

$25 than to donate it for free. And we pay someone to 

cart away trash that would be a valuable commodity in 

poorer parts of the world. 

The Price of Everything starts with a simple premise: there 

is a price behind each choice, whether we’re deciding to 

have a baby, drive a car, or buy a book. We often fail 

to appreciate just how critical prices are as motivating 

forces. But their power becomes clear when distorted 

prices steer our decisions the wrong way. Eduardo Porter 

uncovers the true story behind the prices we pay and 

reveals what those prices are actually telling us. 

“Each exploration is at once thoughtful, 

detailed and fascinating.” — Bookpage 

“Porter offers an engaging rumination 

proving the adage that everything has its 

price. And he means everything: work, 

women, even faith and the future.” 

—The Associated Press 

“Enthralling . . . Everyone could learn 

something from this wise and clever book.” 

—Tim Harford, author of

“Porter offers us a shiny new lens for 

understanding the relationships around us 

that we too often fail to see.” 

—The Harvard Business Review 

“Clever, stylish, and full of surprising 

insights. In other words, priceless.”

the mesh 

Why the future of business is sharing 

traditional businesses follow a simple formula: create a product or service, sell 

it, collect money. but in the last few years a fundamentally different model has 

taken root—one in which consumers have more choices, more tools, more 

information, and more peer-to-peer power. Pioneering entrepreneur lisa 

Gansky calls it the mesh and reveals why it will dominate the future of business. 

mesh companies use social media, wireless networks, and data crunched from 

every available source to provide people with goods and services at the exact 

moment they need them, without the burden and expense of owning them 

outright. Gansky reveals how there is real money to be made and trusted 

brands and strong communities to be built in helping your customers buy less 

but use more. 

“Fascinating.” —Inc. Magazine 

“Lisa Gansky makes a compelling case for the new competitive logic 

of sharing—and shows how to build not just a single company, but 

an entire business ecosystem, around this concept. If you want to 

understand the future, and maybe even help create it, read this book.” 

—Daniel H. Pink, author of Drive and A Whole New Mind

“Ideas are easy. Implementation is hard. 

This book helps you with the hard part.” 

— Guy Kawasaki, author of Enchantment 

According to productivity expert Scott Belsky, no one 

is born with the ability to drive creative projects to 

completion. Execution is a skill that must be developed 

by building your organizational habits and harnessing the 

support of your colleagues. 

As the founder and CEO of Behance, a company on a 

mission to empower and organize the creative world, 

Belsky has studied the habits of especially productive 

individuals and teams across industries. Now he has 

compiled the principles and techniques they share, and 

presents a systematic approach to creative organization 

and productivity. 

While many of us focus on generating and searching for 

great ideas, Belsky shows why it’s better to develop the 

capacity to make ideas happen—a capacity that endures 

over time. 

“If your creative team or organization 

struggles to implement their best ideas, or 

if you find that your own creative projects 

languish unfinished, you need Making

How america’s best Performing companies 

keep the start-up spirit alive 

acclaimed management guru jason jennings and his research team screened 

more than 100,000 companies to find nine that have increased revenues and 

profits by 10 percent or more for ten consecutive years. after interviewing 

the leaders, workers, and customers of these quiet superstars, they discovered 

that these companies all have one thing in common: they think big, but act 

small. 

these companies are highly ambitious about solving customers’ problems, 

making better products, and creating value. yet they never stop acting like startups—staying 

humble, treating every employee like an owner, and teaching 

managers to get their hands dirty. 

jennings shows readers how to apply the best practices of these nine superstar 

companies.

Peter chapman 

the last of the imperious Rich 

lehman brothers, 1844–2008 

in 1844 Henry lehman arrived in the united states from Germany and, with 

his brother emanuel, established a modest cotton brokering firm that would 

come to be called lehman brothers. in 2008 Dick fuld, the last ceo of lehman 

brothers, filed for corporate bankruptcy amid one of the worst financial crises 

in american history. after 164 years one of the largest and most respected 

investment banks in the world was gone, leaving everyone wondering, “How 

could this have happened?” 

Peter chapman answers this question by examining the history of lehman 

from its humble beginnings to its dramatic exit. He offers a sweeping narrative 

as well as a clear perspective on exactly what caused lehman to fail. He also 

paints an intimate portrait of the people who ran it, including bobbie lehman, 

who in the 1920s led the company into the world of radio, motion pictures, 

and air travel. chapman shows that, despite its inglorious end, lehman not only 

helped shape the face of american finance, but also american life. 

“Chapman captures the firm’s high and low moments with admirable 

clarity, especially the hubris that led to its ultimate demise. A valuable 

addition to Wall Street history.” 

—Charles Geist, author of Collateral Damaged 


peter chapman has worked for the Financial Times since 1995 and is

We have all been through a breakup, but these poets have created art out of

poking fun at the mess we become at the mercy of love.

my years with neal cassady, jack kerouac, and

Off the Road tells the intimate story of the legendary neal cassady and his 

remarkable friendships with jack kerouac (who immortalized cassady as Dean 

moriarty in On the Road) and allen Ginsberg. Written by the woman who 

loved them all—as wife of cassady, lover of kerouac, and friend of Ginsberg— 

this riveting and intimate memoir spans one of the most vital eras in twentiethcentury 

literature and culture, including the explosive successes of kerouac’s 

On the Road and Ginsberg’s Howl, the flowering of the beat movement, and the 

social revolution of the 1960s. carolyn cassady reveals a side of neal cassady 

rarely seen—that of husband and father, a man who craved respectability, yet 

could not resist the thrills of a wilder and ultimately more destructive lifestyle. 

“A great book as well as wonderful autobiography.” 

—Washington Post Book World 

“A poignant recollection—truthful, coarse, and inviting—teeming with 

the spirit of the men who inspired and symbolized the dreams of a 

generation.” —San Francisco Chronicle 

“This is the book to be read in tandem with Kerouac’s On the Road, 

Ginsberg’s Howl, and Tom Wolfe’s Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test. It fits like 

the lost half of a broken plate.” —The Literary Review

college, Vermont, and earned her ma in fine arts and theater arts 

from the university of Denver. in 1948 she married neal cassady in

the african safari Papers 

The African Safari Papers is an intense and outrageous portrait of a family so 

troubled that their vacation is, in a word, torture. Richard clark, the narrator 

of this sharp and sometimes madcap novel is nineteen—a drug-addicted, 

foul-mouthed, sex-crazed young man in africa on a safari with his parents. 

obviously, this is a mistake. 

as Richard smolders with resentment, he documents the trip in a series of 

journal entries that are funny, sad, and piercingly insightful. juxtaposed with the 

hostile environment, the tense situation becomes explosive: with raw energy 

and acuity, somewhere between Hunter s. thompson and David sedaris, we 

see mom going insane, Dad drinking compulsively, and Richard busy getting 

high on smuggled drugs. anything can happen, and it does, in this Catcher in the 

Rye for the twenty-first century. 

“A politically incorrect, gutsy book filled with taboo sex, drugs and 

gratuitous violence…A startling debut.” —The Globe and Mail 

“Articulate, cheeky, and, in the best sense, dangerous.” 

—Timothy Findley, author of Pilgrim 

“Richard’s voice is brilliantly keen and winning, and he chronicles wild 

experiences and dysfunctional behaviors with irresistible verve.” 

—Publishers Weekly

murder, Disgrace, and the making of an american legend 

after a long period of suppression, milhail bulgakov was discovered in the West 

in 1967 with the publication of his masterpiece, The Master and Margarita. 

Diaboliad and Other Stories is the only complete translation of his first collection 

of short stories, plus six of his best feuilletons from the 1920s. the targets of 

bulgakov’s brilliant, dark satires here include the Gogolian bureaucracy that 

mushroomed after the Revolution, the subjugation of science to the state, and 

the price to be paid when the new world of communism clashed with the 

old order. everywhere the reader will find bulgakov’s customary exuberance, 

brilliance, and originality, as well as the distinctive voice that was to achieve full 

effect in The Master and Margarita. 

“Bulgakov’s strong point was his ability to amplify the roots of man’s 

dementia, the howls of political pandemonium, and many of the 

stories here build up pressure as the characters thrash along, pursuing 

or pursued…a lively collection.” —Washington Post Book World 




mikhail bulgakov (1891-1940) burst onto the world literary scene in

Women Writers 

Why did a gifted writer like sylvia Plath stumble into a marriage that drove her 

to suicide? Why did Hilda Doolittle want to marry ezra Pound when she was 

attracted to women? Why did simone de beauvoir pimp for jean-Paul sartre? 

the list of the damages done in each of these sexual relationships is long, 

but each provokes the same question: would these women have become the 

writers they were without these literary relationships? 

incorporating research using diaries, letters, and journals of each woman, lesley 

mcDowell examines the extent to which each woman was prepared to put 

artistic ambition before personal happiness, and how dependent on their male 

writing partners they felt themselves to be. she reveals how in many instances, 

their partnerships liberated unspoken desires, encouraged artistic innovations, 

and even shored up literary reputations. fascinating and insightful, Between the

The “hilarious and terrifying” (Robert Stone) 

first novel by Ken Babbs, famously a Merry 

Prankster and best friend of Ken Kesey 

Ken Babbs was the last member of the legendary Stanford 

writing class led by Wallace Stegner to publish a novel, 

and the wait was worth it. Lieutenants Tom Huckelbee 

(“leathery as any Texican come crawling out of the sage”) 

and Mike Cochran (“loquacious son of an Ohio gangster”) 

make an unlikely pair of officers training to be helicopter 

pilots in Vietnam. Their only aim is to get through this 

disorienting war without losing their minds. This is a 

bullet-straight story, a hallucinatory journey with a 

fearlessly unconventional voice. Babbs brilliantly portrays 

the world through the eyes of a young man discovering 

what it means to be beholden to another. 

This novel, acclaimed as “a cross between Joseph Heller 

and Hunter S. Thompson” (Booklist), is a riveting and very 

funny exploration of war and friendship, and a book not 

to be missed. 

“Former U.S. Marine Captain Ken Babbs 

was a pilot who climbed from the 

SAMissile-killing skies over Vietnam to the 

LSDippy hippie highs of Ken Kesey’s Merry 

Pranksters . . . and lived. I know, because 

I saw him afterward. This book is Babbs, 

Part One.” —Tom Wolfe 

“A lovely if chilling read, chilling because it 

brings home the reality of a tragic war.” 

—Larry McMurtry 

“Who Shot the Water Buffalo? has a 

marvelous antic spirit . . . It is one of 

the finest novels to come out of that 

catastrophe—perceptive, insightful, brave, 

and funny all at once.” —Robert Stone 

“An impeccable, humorous heirloom, 

a shock of napalm that smells like . . . 

victory.” 

—Publishers Weekly (starred review) 

I’m all shot up, Doc…it was a trap…no one expected a heavy machine gun…we headed for

978-1-58567-016-1, $15.95 

andré schwarz-bart 

translated from the french by julie Rose 

the morning star 

The Last of the Just made andré schwarz-bart famous for a novel that 

triumphantly defied traditional views of fiction. four years after the author’s 

death, his widow, simone, rescued The Morning Star from his papers. this novel 

is the last word of a writer with a masterful and poignant sense of the past, 

present, and future. the story begins in the year 3000 and travels backward 

through the years to relive the history of one child’s family: back to a Polish 

village and a mysterious massacre. blending fact, religion, mysticism, and folklore 

with the author’s personal connection to the Holocaust, The Morning Star is 

“a delicate, necessary portrait” (Booklist), both a vitally engrossing tale and a 

powerful recognition of the dark forces of history. 

Praise for the work of André Schwarz-Bart: 

“The Last of the Just transcends the definition of fiction. It is part 

history, part vision, forged into a single echoing terrifying outcry, at 

once lush and sardonic, full of color and heartbreaking richness.” 


“The conflict over the ethics of aestheticizing horror is as old as 

genocide itself, but Schwarz-Bart has come up with a unique literary 

solution.…What finally emerges from Schwarz-Bart’s book is a 

celebration of life in all its transience.” —Jewish Review of Books 





andré schwarz-bart (1928-2006) won the Goncourt Prize for The 

Last of the Just, a New York Times bestseller upon first publication, now in 

its sixth printing with overlook. He was born in france. His parents were 

arrested in a nazi roundup, and he served with the french Resistance.

How to fish 

an angler’s meditation 

chris yates discovered the joys of fishing early in life and was quickly hooked 

by its pleasure. many years later, he is still content to sit, day after day, observing 

the quirks of different fish and losing track of time. for him, fishing is much more 

than just a question of technique; sometimes it’s about listening to nothing but 

your instincts, and at other times it’s about enjoying yourself in the moment. 

and it’s always about not knowing how the day is going to unfold. 

there’s no better guide for the uninitiated—and no better companion for 

those already familiar with the satisfactions of fishing—than chris yates. from 

casting and reeling to whiling away the hours, How to Fish is a gem of a book 

that gets to the heart of the passion for angling: there’s more to fishing than 

catching fish. 

“A beautiful meditation on existence that would make Thoreau or… 

Izaak Walton proud…He captures the wonder, and humor, of the 

natural world.” —Los Angeles Times 

“This insightful, whimsical, poetical, practical memoir and how-to 

guide will delight anyone who has ever fished.” 

—Spirituality and Health 




chris yates is a photographer, an author, the founder of Waterlog 

magazine, and first and foremost a fisherman. for years he was the angling 

correspondent for the Financial Times. He was first inspired to write 

about fishing by the discovery of a monster carp in his village pond when 

he was five.

Peter stothard 

the spartacus Road 

a Personal journey through ancient italy 

the name of spartacus resounds through history. in the final century of the 

first Roman Republic an army of slaves led by spartacus rose up in italy. its 

success was something no one before had ever known. the spartacus Road 

is the route along which this rebel army outfought the world’s finest military 

forces between 73 and 71 bc, bringing both fears and hopes that have never 

wholly left the modern mind. 

sweepingly erudite and strikingly personal, The Spartacus Road is a book like 

none other—at once a journalist’s notebook, a reflection on life’s fragility, 

including the author’s own fight against cancer, and a classicist’s celebration. 

as he travels along the spartacus Road and into the classical italian landscape, 

stothard breathes new life into a singular war in antiquity, recounting one of 

the greatest stories of the ages. 

“You can almost picture those Roman soldiers and those slaves with 

their swords and shields. You can see that wave upon wave of soldiers 

attacking.” —NPR’s All Things Considered 

“Mr. Stothard’s engaging book reminds us that, for all the secrets the 

story of Spartacus refuses to give up, it still leads us back to the heart 

of things.” —Wall Street Journal 





peter stothard is the editor-in-chief of the Times Literary Supplement. 

He was editor of the Times for ten years and writes on modern politics 

and ancient literature. His previous book, 30 Days: A Month at the Heart of 

Blair’s War, is a diary of his time observing the direction of the 2003 conflict 

in iraq.

Deliverance from evil 

a novel of the salem Witch trials 

in an era of uncertain survival in the new World, the Devil himself was 

believed to prey on society—and his witches could be convicted by mere 

children. Deliverance from Evil brings to life the salem witch trials, one of the 

most uncanny times in our nation’s history. young girls in trances pointed out 

neighbors, leaders, relatives—over 150 people were arrested, with many 

hanged for their supposed sins. frances Hill, author of A Delusion of Satan, 

brings her deep historical and political understanding together with her honed 

skills as a novelist to produce a picture of the trials both realistic and emotional. 

she has written an extraordinary and gripping novel of hysteria, power plays, 

faith, and love in colonial america. 

Praise for the work of Frances Hill: 

“Vivid description gives the feeling that the Salem witch hunt 

happened five minutes ago.” —Los Angeles Times 

“Dramatic…[Hill] fleshes out the gaunt records.” 

—John Updike, The New Yorker 

“Re-imagines the superstition and hysteria surrounding the 17thcentury 

Salem witch trials in novelistic form.” —USA Today

Peter Padfield 

maritime Dominion and the 

triumph of the free World 

naval campaigns that shaped the modern World 

the battle of midway. Pearl Harbor. tsushima. the Dardanelles. the twentieth 

century saw some of the most devastating and world-changing sea battles ever 

known. empires fell, new governments arose, and day-to-day life was changed 

forever. in Maritime Dominion, Peter Padfield examines the terrible wars of the 

last century, reaching controversial and sometimes startling conclusions. 

beginning in the nineteenth century when Great britain ruled the waves, 

Padfield looks at the motives of her statesmen and the effects of her world 

dominion. the first World War saw britain’s strength fall, and during the 

second World War the united states succeeded as the supreme maritime 

nation, subsequently defeating the soviet empire in the cold War. With the 

rise of missile technology, Padfield demonstrates how important maritime 

strength remained for the security and stability of the western world. Maritime 

Dominion richly illustrates the importance of naval primacy over the past 150 

years and brings to life the sea battles that changed modern history. 

“Ambitious, hugely enjoyable…this lucid, passionately argued and 

beautifully written history ranks among the finest of recent times.” 

—Sunday Times 

“The best naval historian of his generation.” 

—John Keegan, author of A History of Warfare 





peter padfield is widely considered the leading naval historian of our 

time. the maritime trilogy includes Maritime Power and Maritime Supremacy, 

both published by overlook. His work as a naval historian received the 

mountbatten maritime Prize.
