Queerness is more than who youre sleeping with. Its a point of social contention, something thats dierent by denition, thats deeply subversive and proud of it! Against Equality is an argument in support of those who dare to be dierent, a collection of essays that stand in stark contrast to an ever-growing LGBT mainstream working towards assimilation, and, arguably, cultural erasure. Never ones to shy away from a ght, the authors included in this timely collection address the trifecta of political rifts within the LGBT community: marriage, the military, and prisons. Equality is a concept inextricably linked to positive social progress, but as the authors collected here suggest, its a concept that often functions as a smoke screen to hide a world riddled with systemic injustice. Take marriage, for instance: is the right to marry whomever we want really a worthy goal for the queer community? What if this perceived right is actually a wrong? Against Equality suggests that seeking inclusion in a system thats based on institutional and economic exploitation is an unacceptable path forward. How will the ability to ght in wars of imperialism help to liberate and empower LGBT people around the world? The striking down of Dont Ask, Dont Tell only makes a larger population complicit in a system that treats queer bodies, both nationally and internationally, as less than human. With contributions from Kate Bornstein, Mattilda Bernstein Sycamore, John DEmilio, and others, this book is designed to stir debate.

The End of the World as We Know It? explores the origins and ramications of the Great Recession, as well as the experiences of those living through it. Crisis is a recurring trait of capitalism, and a necessary one for the economy to continue as it does. However, each economic crisis is treated like an unprecedented and unexpected surprise. How can we learn from these capitalist catastrophes unless we connect historical patterns to contemporary conditions? Capitalist crisis is not an accident; it occurs, in fact, by design. This collection brings together personal accounts and analysis to illustrate the struggle of individuals and communities in search of survival. Weaving these stories together is a necessary step forward in uniting against continued economic exploitation. From solidarity networks to revolutionary unionism and student strikes, this book unsettles our understanding of economics. The struggle against austerity measures has swept the globe, and a new resistance is emerging: the Maple Spring in Montreal, Occupy in the United States and abroad, and much of Latin America and Europe have erupted in vocal protest against the status quo. This book amplies those voices into a resounding call for action and organization. In essays divided into ve sectionsOrigins, Eects, The Response of the Dispossessed, The Ruling Class Response, and Education and the Student Responsethe contributors outline the overall systematic nature of the problem, as well as tangible, equally systematic strategies for community economic defense and sustainability.
Neither austerity nor reform will save us. Real alternatives mean real change.

In the last decade of the twentieth century, cultivated land around the globe increased at a staggering rate of 4,693,000 acres a year. By 2030, the World Bank projects an increase in the rate of growth to 14,820,000 acres of newly developed land every yearmost of which will be in the global South. If, as Vandana Shiva writes, land is life, then it goes without saying that land is also power. Land struggles are always about powercolonial and corporate power, to be sure, but also people power, the power of the dispossessed to rise up and call for an end to the global land grab. Grabbing Back documents this struggle, bringing together a wealth of essays and analysis documenting the contemporary politics of cultivation and control. In this unprecedented collection of new writings, on-the-ground activists join forces with critically acclaimed scholars and journalists, bringing to light a body of research and analysis that lays bare the vast reaches of the global land grab: from ecotourism in Sri Lanka to landless workers in Brazil to tar sands in Montana and urban decay in Detroit, Michigan. Beautifully edited by Alexander Reid Ross of EarthFirst!, and featuring contributions by Vandana Shiva, Guillermo Delgado-P, Noam Chomsky, Max Rameau, Grace Lee Boggs, Michael Hardt, Ahjamu Umi, Scott Crow, Ben Dangl, EarthFirst! Sri Lanka, and others, Grabbing Back is an eye-opening and honest assessment of the state of the land today, and what lies ahead in the years to come.

Economics are often considered a drab and meticulous study reserved for those with a few degrees under their belt. Zen Economics proposes a dierent approach: instead of leaving economics to the experts, we should embrace economics as part of our everyday lives, and merge our intellectual understanding with our intrinsic desire to be unied with the natural world. What if economics was an intuitive eld that considered the needs of the many against those of the few? Capitalist economics is premised on a narrow, anti-historical concept of what people are and what motivates us. Its broader context is Western idealism, the view that the life of the mind, as conceived in Western philosophy, is the fundamental locus and determinant of existence. Zen, as taken from the dialogue between D.T. Suzuki and philosopher Martin Heidegger, removes the partitions that separate us from each other, the world, and ourselves. Rob Urie develops a post-Marxian (non-deterministic) materialism to reimagine the fundamental premises of economics and places them into debate over key economic issueswork and labor, income and wealth distribution, environmental degradation and animal rights.

Translated by Ramor Ryan
In the midst of a rapidly shifting global economy, Brazil has emerged as a powerful new player on the geopolitical stage. Against all odds, the Latin American nation managed, in just three years, to repay 2002s $15.5 billion IMF bailout loan thanks to aggressive economic restructuring and a series of alliances that have placed it at the center of political and economic power in the region. From the outside, Brazil is a poster child for neoliberal capitalism. Yet inside the country, the lives of the Brazilian people are still marked by vast inequities in wealth and access to social servicesa striking disparity with the nations newfound power in the global economy. In June of 2013, protests against the increasing costs of public transportation swelled to mass demonstrations against the Rousse governments failure to address this disparity, leading many to wonder whether the popular movements in Brazil may be just powerful enough to shift the nations inuence towards a wholly new economic model based in regional integration. The New Brazil explores this disparity. Will the nation serve as the glue that holds together the Latin American states, distancing themselves from the neoliberalism of the United States and Canada? Or will Brazil simply become another world superpower, able to subject the rest of Latin America to its will? Only time will tell. Ral Zibechi is a journalist and social-movement analyst based in Montevideo, Uruguay. He is the author of numerous books including Dispersing Power and Territories in Resistance, both published by AK Press.
Meet the new boss. A guide to shifting political and economic forces in an emerging world power.

A gritty, fast-paced tale of revenge. . . . Tight, terse prose harkens back to pulp ction of the 1950s. . . . The work is a breath of fresh air from lengthy, trying-too-hard-to-shock street lit and is an excellent choice for all metropolitan collections.Library Journal, starred review, Pick of the Month Pappy tries to break out of the game before the head of his crew, Black, gets them all killed. Against his better judgment Pappy agrees to do one last job, but only because its the price of his freedom. Further developing the stark realism and uncompromising streetwise narratives of his lyrics, H.N.I.C. cements Prodigys position as one of the foremost chroniclers of contemporary urban life. Simultaneously a fast-paced crime drama and an engrossing, unsentimental moral tale, H.N.I.C. peers into the dark heart that underpins the codes of loyalty and friendship, betrayal and vengeance. With H.N.I.C., Prodigy inaugurates Infamous Books, a new imprint whose mission is to connect readers worldwide to crime ction and street lit authors both familiar and new.

Almost everyone in town blames eight-year-old Violet for the death of her nine-year-old sister Daisy. Sing in the Morning, Cry at Night opens on September 4, 1913, two months after the Fourth of July tragedy. Owen, the girls father, turns to drink and abandons his family, according to the chorus of churchwomen who periodically comment on the towns aairs. The mother, Grace, falls victim to the alluring powers of Grief, an imagined gure who has seduced her o-and-on since childhood. Violet forms an unlikely alliance with nine-year-old Stanley Adamski, a motherless outcast. The pair nds solace in the ministrations of the lonely Widow Lankowski and companionship in an ornery mule named Sophie, until disaster strikes at the mine where Stanley works as a breaker boy. Hope comes to town in the form of a revival led by evangelist and former baseball player Billy Sunday. When an unexpected blizzard strands 2,500 people, including Owen, in a temporary tabernacle with the zealot preacher and his brand of muscular Christianity, Grace goes into premature labor at home, where shes forced to rely on Violet for the rst time since Daisys death. Violet manages to deliver the baby, saving both her mother and her new sister, while Owen nds his own salvation in the middle of a snowdrift. Inspired by a haunting family story, Sing in the Morning, Cry at Night uses several historical events, including Scrantons Billy Sunday Snowstorm, to lend authenticity to the novel. Real-life incidents are blended with ction to show how grace can be found in the midst of tragedy. Barbara J. Taylor was born and raised in Scranton, Pennsylvania, and teaches English in the Pocono Mountain school district. She has a masters degree in creative writing from Wilkes University. She still resides in the Electric City, two blocks from where she grew up.

David Yows cat portraits, captured here for the rst time in book form, are bold, striking, hilarious, and beautiful to look at. Each portrait is based around a pun, but they capture so much more than wordplay. All cat lovers will nd something to relish in this gorgeous coee table book, which is the perfect gift for cat enthusiasts, animal lovers, and anyone with a playful sense of humor. About the book, David Yow says: I love cats. Always have. The only time I didnt have a cat was a brief hell in Chicago where I lived in an apartment whose landlord didnt allow them. At that place, I had a life-sized cardboard cutout of a cat which I named Toody. I also love wordplay. Im the only adult I hang out with who still gets a kick out of puns. I make up palindromes. I used to write songs and poems (these days, I leave that for the songwriters and poets); in this book of cat-pun drawings, I have made a concerted eort to come up with ideas that range from really funny to really amusing. The entire litter of animals in this book are line drawings that are colored in with photographic textures, and each cat is dropped into a photographic setting. Yep, thats the truth. David Yow is an artist, cartoonist, and musician who is best known as the singer of the bands the Jesus Lizardarguably the best and most popular indie-rock band of the 1990sand Scratch Acid. He lives in Los Angeles, California.
An irresistible and hilarious book of cat cartoon portraits for all cat lovers, old, young, and in-between.

By looking closely at landscape and psyche, Split explores what happens when deep trauma occurs and seeks to understand what it means to nally become whole. From The German word for dream is traume.: When my mother whispered, Has anyone touched you there? I had to pick. Ivan, I said. I was seven. The training wheels were coming o. Between the couch and wall, the ceiling was white with popcorn bits. The boys stood and watched. I lay there, my eyes open like a dolls. Someone said, Let me try. He rode on top then abruptly stopped. The boys laughed, and then, they stood me up. Cathy Linh Che is a poet from Los Angeles, California.

Elvira Dones is among the best of Albanias writers and her publication in English is excellent news.Ismail Kadare According to Albanian tradition, if there are no male heirs, a woman can choose to become a manand enjoy the associated freedomsas long as she swears herself to virginity for life. Clever young Hana is ushered home by her uncles impending death. Forced to abandon her studies in Tirana, she takes an oath and assumes the persona of Mark, a hardened mountain peasanther only choice if she wants to be saved from an arranged marriage. Marks decision to shake o her oath after fourteen years and to re-appropriate what is left of Hanas body and mind by moving to the United States creates a powerful rupture. The transition to a new life as a woman striving to shed the burden of her virginity is fraught with challenges, and the rst-generation assimilated cousins with whom Hana tentatively undertakes her new life make her task no easier. Sworn Virgin is the rst novel Elvira Dones wrote in Italian. She adds her voice to the burgeoning new generation of blended Italians, who deliberately adopt a dirty immigrant/exile approach to their language. Born in Durrs, Albania, Elvira Dones is a novelist, screenwriter, and documentary lmmaker currently based in the United States. After seven novels in Albanian, she wrote the two most recent in Italian, her adopted language. Sworn Virgin is the rst of Doness books to be translated into English.
Independence in the Albanian mountains means a vow to become a manindependence in America means reclaiming her womanhood.

Birtwhistle shows that he has rhetorical power of the sort epitomised by James Fenton.Peter Porter John Birtwhistle is a master craftsman. . . . The poets eye and ear are generally faultless. In every poem language is made to work hard; image and thought are wholly fused, with economy and precision. The technical skills, which are entirely admirable, may be deployed in hilarious playfulness. . . . They are also at the service of more disturbing subjects.Ian Hughes, Poetry Review Like many good poets, John Birtwhistle publishes sparingly. In his rst collection for more than twenty years, he produces a dazzling array of poems on a range of historical, political, and personal subjects. These lucid, witty, tender poems, by turns serious and comic, are full of felicitous surprises and unexpected turns of imagination. Nuisance Poets After a letter of Seneca The poet pleads, Shall I read a little more? Oh yes, please do praying from our brain of brains that the bore be struck dumb Alexander to Charon Here is my coin. You will know the face That sent you cargoes of shades, in my day. John Birtwhistles previous books have won an Eric Gregory Award, an Arts Council writers grant, and a Poetry Book Society Recommendation. Of his three performed libretti, The Plumbers Gift was staged by English National Opera in 1989. He has held writing fellowships at the University of Southampton and a lectureship in English at the University of York. He lives in Sheeld, England.
Dennis ODriscoll wrote that in John Birtwhistles poetry a sweeping imagination ranges over past and future, pastoral and urban themes.

Being a girl was something that never really happened for me.Rae Spoon Ivan E. Coyote and Rae Spoon are accomplished, award-winning writers, musicians, and performers; they are also both admitted gender failures. In their rst collaborative book, Ivan and Rae explore and expose their failed attempts at tting into the gender binary, and how ultimately our expectations and assumptions around traditional gender roles fail us all.

Ivan frequently performs at high schools, universities, and festivals across North America. Rae Spoon is a transgender indie musician whose most recent CD is My Prairie Home, which is also the title of a new National Film Board of Canada documentary about them.

Alan Hirshfeld
With this highly readable and cosmically accessible book, Alan Hirshfeld has done for the measurement of the cosmos what Dava Sobel did for the measurement of longitude. . . . Readers will never again look into the night sky the same way.Michael Shermer, author of The Believing Brain on Parallax: The Race to Measure the Cosmos In 1930, Edwin Hubble announced the greatest discovery in the history of astronomy since Galileo rst turned a telescope to the heavens. The galaxies, previously believed to oat serenely in the void, are in fact hurtling apart at incredible speed; the universe is expanding. This stunning discovery was the culmination of a decades-long arc of scientic and technical advancement. In its shadow lies an untold, yet equally fascinating, backstory whose cast of characters illuminates the gritty, hard-won nature of scientic progress. The path to a broader mode of cosmic observation was blazed by a cadre of nineteenth-century amateur astronomers and inventors, galvanized by the advent of photography, spectral analysis, and innovative technology to create the entirely new eld of astrophysics. From William Bond, who turned his home into a functional observatory, to geniuses of invention such as Lon Foucault, Alan Hirshfeld reveals the incredible storiesand the ambitious dreamersbehind the birth of modern astronomy. Alan Hirshfeld, a professor of physics at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth and an associate of the Harvard College Observatory, is the author of Parallax: The Race to Measure the Cosmos, The Electric Life of Michael Faraday, and Eureka Man: The Life and Legacy of Archimedes.
A wondrous tale of cosmic exploration and the colorful characters who ushered astronomy into the modern age.

The Culture and Credo of the Gun
A.J. Somerset
A one-time soldier, Somerset paints a convincing picture . . . self-deprecating, gru, curmudgeonly.The Globe and Mail Rambling, tragic, and suprisingly funny.Quill & Quire The rst book to bring ballistics and legal history to bear on gun culture in ction and lm, Arms is the study of a tormented symbol. How did the gun become both an icon of freedom and the badge of vigilantes? Protection against violent crime yet the instigator of it? The sportsmans companion, the survivalists god? In a cultural history like no other, where Canadian hunter and gun lover A.J. Somerset critiques the careers of ideologues from S.L.A. Marshall through David Grossmanwhere he traces apocalyptic rhetoric from George Orwell to the Patriot Movementwhere he discusses cop ethics, race crimes, domestic coercion, and school shootingswhere he takes Quentin Tarantino to task for shoddy spray patterns, muses on John Steinbeck and armed labor strikes, and surveys the rise of fear-culture through the work of Hunter S. ThompsonArms demonstrates again and again that its in the gun where North Americas most irresolvable tensions explode. Sharp-eyed, snarky, even-handed, and sportive, Arms is at once a gun lovers tribute to the weapon he adores and a devastating commentary on the rifts it has come to represent. A.J. Somerset has been a soldier, a technical writer, a programmer, and a freelance photographer. His nonction has appeared in numerous outdoor magazines in Canada and the United States. His rst novel, Combat Camera, won the Metcalf-Rooke Award.
Welcome to the gun books third wave: a novelist and gun-lover talks about the weapon in law, literature, history, and lm.

Michael Freedland
This is not just another Elvis Presley biography, although it gets closer to the real Elvis story than many of the hundreds that have dealt with the life of the man his contemporaries have called The King. As the author Michael Freedland puts it in his introduction, Everyone knows Elvis. But not the way his close friends, employees, and others who entered his life knew him. For this is their story. Freedland interviews those who knew Elvis intimately, from the now elderly woman who was at school with him and whose parents foreclosed on the shack they rented, to Elviss mother when his father was in jail, to the maid who prepared his peanut butter sandwiches and hamburgers and watched him line up the girls he wanted to take to his bed. In between, we meet the black man who remembered sneaking into a local cinema with Elvis in deance of Deep South race laws and members of the so-called Memphis Maa, who went where he went, laughed when he laughed, and suered when he suered and usually received a brand new Cadillac for their troubles. Theres also his doctor who denies giving him fatal doses of the drugs he collected along with the hamburgers. Writer and broadcaster Michael Freedland went all over the West Coast and South to talk to these people who shared Elviss life, telling the complex Presley story in a way more true to the real man than the usual collection of dates, lm, and song titles.
The real Elvis Presley, from the memories of those who knew him best.

The Royals say they can do without many things, but not their animals. They are suspicious of practically everyone outside their own family, so the only creatures they really trust are not of the human variety. For countless monarchs and their consorts, cats, dogs, horses, even the occasional parrot, have acted as constant, faithful companions, unquestioning allies, and surrogate children for generations. The only time the Queen and Princess Anne have been known to shed tears in public was when one of their favorite horses died. And Her Majestys corgis, the most disliked creatures at Court, even have their own royal cemeteries in all the royal residences and each has its own mini-palace immediately outside their mistresss sitting room in Buckingham Palace. Members of the royal family, from the Queen to her youngest grandchild, are taught to ride almost as soon as they can walk and, even at the age of eightysix, Her Majesty still rides every weekend at Windsorand refuses to wear a hard hat. This engrossing book traces the fascination of the royals with their animalsincluding intimate details of each of the present and early members of the familys favorite pets, with anecdotes relating to each of them and their idiosyncrasies. Pets by Royal Appointment makes essential reading for royal watchers and pet lovers alike.

Janis Sharp
For ten years Gary McKinnon became the unwilling focus of AngloUS diplomatic relations. A computer systems analyst living in London, he believed the US government was withholding vital information about the presence of UFOs. The unremarkable lives of he and his mother Janis changed dramatically one morning in March 2002 when Gary phoned to tell her that he had been arrested and was being interviewed about hacking into US government computers. Paul J. McNulty, the then-US Attorney for Virginia, announced that Gary was indicted in Alexandria, Virginia, on November 12 that year, and simultaneously announced that the United States intended to extradite him. Two years later the US government led a request for Garys extradition and on June 7, 2005, he was arrested. Extradition to the United States seemed certain and so, fearing that Gary would kill himself rather than face being taken away to face seven counts of up to ten years each, Janiss extraordinary battle began. Janis Sharp spent the following ten years ghting her sons extradition. In October 2012 she nally won. This was a spectacular victory for Janis and spoke volumes about her relentless ght. Saving Gary McKinnon is the true story of a mothers ght to save her son from living out the rest of his life behind bars. The US judiciary had all the might of the worlds greatest power. But it had not reckoned on Garys mother.

Their relationship with one another is fascinating in part because it provided the inspiration behind their work. In fact, parts of Lucky Jim were based on Larkins life, a fact the poet begrudged for the rest of his life.

A classic war history available for the rst time in thirty years. Andre de Jongh was a young artist in Brussels when German troops marched in. She set up the Comet Line to smuggle trapped Allied soldiers and airmen through France and across the Pyrenees into Spain, saving the lives of more than eight hundred Allied servicemen. Such heroism came at an enormous cost. Hundreds of Comet Line members died in the Nazi concentration camps. The story of the Little Cyclone is one of tragedy and triumph, a remarkably human and inspiring story that rivals the most dramatic of thrillers.

Ian Hamilton Finlay (19252006) was one of Scotlands leading twentiethcentury public intellectuals, and famously one of its most brilliant and combative correspondents. His letters raise issues of particular and widespread interest both within Scotland and further aeld. His correspondence with Stephen Bann, the English poet and academic, have a very special place in this context. These letters present in a clear and commensurable form the development of his ideas about poetry and art, and increasingly about sculpture and gardening, over this critical ve-year period of his creative life. The letters begin when Bann was still a student at Cambridge, and Finlay was living in considerable hardship in Edinburgh, though he already had a signicant international reputation as a poet. They reveal in fascinating and intimate detail the poets developing creative process, and also record his often turbulent relationship to the worlds of literature, art, and critical journalism. When he settles in Lanarkshire, he begins to develop the ideas that will result in the creation of the world-famous sculpture garden known as Little Sparta. This book, edited, introduced, and annotated by Bann himself, is a unique and compelling self-portrait of the man who is now recognized not only as a great poet, but also as a major artist and one of the most original garden designers of modern times. Stephen Bann is a poet, historian, and cultural critic. He is an emeritus professor of the history of art at Bristol University, and the author of numerous books and articles.
The revealing letters of probably the most signicant Scottish public intellectual and artist of the late twentieth century.

Kevin Clouthers collection of wry, funny, big-hearted stories is utterly satisfying and unexpected, like scratching an itch you didnt know you had. Rebecca Johns The phone rang. I picked it up, and the voice roared into my right ear. I said, What do you want? What do you want? I said this ve, six, seven times, and then I hung up the telephone. It didnt ring again, which made me irrationally proud. This ended up depressing me. Nervously, I looked for something to pick up and then drop. I picked up an empty coee mug, but it felt too light. This wasnt my desk. This wasnt even my building. In this striking debut collection, characters nd unexpected moments of profound insight while navigating the monotony of daily life. Here we nd a man who drives to the wrong mountain, a hubcap cleaner who moonlights as a karaoke star, and a deliveryman whose urgent letters have no willing recipient. While lulled by the deceptively simple rhythm of the ordinary, Kevin Clouther oers the instant before momentous changethe view over the cli, the intake of breath before a decision, a glimpse of stark vulnerability, of faith and hope. Kevin Clouther was born in Boston, Massachusetts, and grew up on Cape Cod and in south Florida. He holds degrees from the University of Virginia and Iowa Writers Workshop, where he completed his thesis under Marilynne Robinson. He teaches creative writing at Stony Brook University, where he coordinates the program in writing and reading series, and at Johns Hopkins. He lives in Floral Park, New York.

On June 28, 1914, 145 riders lined up in a suburb of Paris at 3:00 am to start the rst stage of the Tour de France. The race, which had been founded just a decade earlier, had grown to become the biggest bicycle race in the world. The riders did not know it at the time, but as they raced, an event was taking place on the opposite side of Europe which would change all of their lives forever: Gavrilo Princip assassinated Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria, triggering World War I. While racing went on in France, a diplomatic crisis had started that would try but fail to avert war. Shortly after the nish of the race, France mobilized its troops and went to war with Germany. The organizer of the Tour de France, Henri Desgrange, despite being fty years old, enrolled in the army shortly afterwards and encouraged the cyclists to do the same. The war would see over sixteen million soldiers and civilians die. Many of the riders from that Tour de France did not return, and three previous winners of the race would be among those killed in action. The Shattered Peloton tells the story of that Tour de France and what happened to the top cyclists of the day during the course of the war. A fascinating book for anyone with an interest in cycling or military history.
How World War I decimated the ranks of elite cyclists, as they fought and died for their countries.

Praise for Georgia Beerss 96 Hours: 96 Hours is a page-turner. . . . It is a riveting story rich with detail. EDGE Boston What happens to lovers after the happy-ever-after moment? What goes on behind the closed doors of a relationship once the commitment is made? What does romance turn into when the hands of time keep turning? Olive Oil and White Bread is a novel that dares to answer those questions. Angie Righetti is the daughter of a sprawling but close-knit Italian American family. Shes out and theyre proud. Jillian Clarks family is the white bread to Angies olive oil. Stoic and emotionally buttoned up, they dont want to think about Jillians sexuality. Its 1988 when they move in together, on the brink of starting their careers. Like every couple at the start of their life together, they expect to live happily ever after. And for twenty-three years life happens: they change jobs, buy a house, get a dog, and deal with money issues and the death of a parent. They ght, love, cry, play, make mistakes, have regrets, and try to be good to each other and to everybody else. Like most of us they tumble into a routine that turns into a rut that leads to distraction and danger. In 96 Hours Georgia Beers gave herself the challenge of writing a romance set in the immediate aftermath of 9/11. And she succeeded, coming up with a book that garnered awards and great reviews. She returns with a new challenge writing a romance that starts, rather than ends, with the happy-ever-after.
A spicy Italian meets plain WASP in a romance that starts, rather than ends, with the happy-ever-after moment.

A useful guide to understanding the mysteries of the mind and how we can change for the better. How can it be that perfectly intelligent people do such obviously counterproductive things so much of the time? Why do we do the things we know we shouldnt do, and why do we fail to do the things we know we should do? The simple answer to these questions is that the unconscious mind greatly inuences all that we do, and this is the basis for the psychoanalytic idea that insight leads to change. Written by an experienced clinical psychologist with a knack for describing complex ideas in a lively and easy to comprehend way, Wisdom from the Couch will change the way you think about your internal and external life. Jennifer L. Kunst, PhD, is a licensed clinical psychologist and certied psychoanalyst in private practice. She is a senior faculty member at the Psychoanalytic Center of California in Los Angeles, where she is chair of the Curriculum Committee. She is also an adjunct associate professor at the Graduate School of Psychology at Fuller Theological Seminary in Pasadena, California. She writes a blog on psychologytoday.com, A Headshrinkers Guide to the Galaxy.

Set in Houston, Texas, in the last year of the twentieth century, School Board is a roaring comic allegory for the coming post-9/11 world. At the center of the tale is quixotic high school senior class president Tucker Catsh Davis, who has never encountered a ght he didnt take on. Events soon have Tucker challenging school board incumbent Walker Moore, a senior executive at an Enron-like company. Tucker, inspired by a long line of Louisiana populist heroes, uses Huey Longstyle tactics to protect the little folks of Houston. In the wild days that follow, Tucker gains traction in his long-shot bid for school board by guerilla campaigning against a tax reinvestment zoning bill that his opponent, local leaders, and Walkers energy company all support. With the help of his classmates, an indicted Louisiana governor resembling Edwin Edwards, and an ex-Green Beret oilman trained in waging unconventional warfare, Tucker makes it the school board race of the century. Written by a veteran of the recent war, School Board is an entertaining debut novel that heralds the arrival of a sharp satirical voice attuned to the absurdities of contemporary America. It is also the story of Houston, revealing the diversity, madness, and glory found by wildcatting generations in that mythical land on the bayou. Mike Freedman lives in Houston, Texas, where he was born and raised. After graduating college, he served in the Army in the infantry and in the Special Forces as a Green Beret.
Tucker Davis, an eccentric teenager, runs against an energy executive for a school board seat in Houston, Texas, in 1999.

Southern California is ground zero for upwardly mobile middle-class Latinas. Matriarchs like Mercy Amadodespite her drunken, philandering (now ex-) husbandcould raise three daughters and become a teacher. Now she watches helplessly as her daughters drift apart as adults. The Latino bonds of familia dont seem to hold. Celeste, the oldest daughter who wont speak to the youngest, is ercely intelligent and proud. She has ed the uncertainty of her growing up in Los Angeles, California, to seek nancial independence in San Jose. Her sisters did the same thing but very dierently. Sylvia married a rich but abusive Anglo, and, to hide away, she immersed herself in the suburbia of her two young daughters. And Nataly, the baby, went very hip into the free-spirited Latino art world, working on her textile creations during the day and waiting on tables in an upscale restaurant by night. Everything they know comes crashing down in a random tragic moment and Mercy must somehow make what was broken whole again. Dsire Zamorano says that she was aghast by the right-wing political snickering arising from Sonia Sotomayors wise Latina remark. And she is appalled by stereotypical rendering of Latinas in mainstream literature, saying that true-to-life middle-class Latinas are invisible in the fabric of American culture. Zamorano is a playwright, Pushcart Prize nominee for ction, and the director of the Community Literacy Center at Occidental College. She also collaborates with InsideOut Writers, a program that works with formerly incarcerated youth. She lives in Pasadena, California.
Four Latinas struggle for their piece of the American Dream, but will it evaporate when confronted with family tragedy?

Henry Giroux
Giroux is societys teacher and conscience.Lawrence Grossberg, University of North Carolina America has become amnesiac, says Henry Giroux, a country in which forms of historical, political, and moral forgetting are not only willfully practiced but celebrated. In a series of essays on the intersections of political power, popular culture, and new methods of social control, Giroux explores how neoliberal discourse and the ongoing commodication of everyday life constitute an active assault on public memory, chip away at civil rights, and diminish the publics capacity to speak and act in its own interests. Alarmed at the increased authoritarianism creeping into all levels of national experience, Giroux looks to ashpoints in current events to reveal how the institutions of government and business are at work to promote mass quietism and passivity. For Giroux, widespread acceptance of the militarized lockdown of Boston crystallizes the degree to which society has come to accept martial law and mass surveillance as inevitable necessities of contemporary American life. Overthe-top repression of social movements like Occupy reveals an increasing intolerance and suspicion of those who challenge state and corporate power, while the violence marketed to youth as entertainment promotes further disconnection from a sense of cohesive community. Girouxs book is a passionate call for public engagement as a means to push back against restrictions on freedom and the passive acceptance of a frightening status quo. Henry Giroux currently holds the Global TV Network chair professorship at McMaster University. A prolic author, he writes regularly for Truthout.
Marketing Plans A sweeping critique of neoliberalism, public amnesia, inequality, and the rise of an authoritarian surveillance state.

Woman with Guitar is a delight.Dave Roediger, author of The Wages of Whiteness Universally recognized as one of the greatest blues artists, Memphis Minnie (18971973) wrote and recorded hundreds of songs. Blues people as diverse as Muddy Waters, Johnny Shines, Big Mama Thornton, and Chuck Berry have acknowledged her as a major inuence. At a time when most female vocalists sang Tin Pan Alley material, Minnie wrote her own lyrics and accompanied her singing with virtuoso guitar playing. Thanks to her merciless imagination and dark humor, her songs rank among the most vigorous and challenging popular poetry in any language. Woman with Guitar is the rst full-length study of the life and work of this extraordinary free spirit, focusing on the lively interplay between Minnies evolving artistry and the African American community in which she lived and worked. Drawing on folklore, psychoanalysis, critical theory, womens studies, and surrealism, the authors explorations of Minnies songs illuminate the poetics of popular culture as well as the largely hidden history of working-class womens self-emancipation. This revised and expanded edition includes a wealth of new biographical material, including photographs, record contracts, sheet music, and period advertisements, which further vivify this portrait of an African American musical legend. Complete, updated discography included. Paul Garon is a co-founder of Living Blues magazine and author of The Devils Son-in-Law and Blues and the Poetic Spirit. Beth Garon is a painter and collagist. The Garons operate a rare-book business in Chicago, Illinois, and have been associated with the US surrealist movement for many years.
A vivid portrait of one of the blues most inuential female artists, and the popular poetry of her lyrics.

Lenelle Mose brings erce passion.The New York Times Haiti Glass is a magnicent collection of poetry and prose. Part mantra, part lamentation, part prayer, this incredible book puts us wholly in the presence of an extraordinary and brave talent, whose voice will linger in your heart and mind long after you read the last word of this book.Edwidge Danticat This is prose and verse that moves deftly between girlhood memories of growing up as a Haitian immigrant in the suburbs of Boston, to bearing witness to brutality and catastrophe, to intellectual, playful explorations of pop culture enigmas like Michael Jackson and Jean Michel Basquiat. Lenelle Mose is at home everywhere and bears witness to all, be it the presence of a skinhead on the subway, a newspaper account of unthinkable atrocity, or the noose loosened to necklace of desire. The cut of Haiti Glass lays bare a world of resistance and survival, mourning and lust, poverty, triumph, and prayer. Lenelle Mose is an award-winning poet, playwright, essayist, and nationally touring performance artist who creates jazz-infused, hip-hop bred, politicized texts about Haitian American identity, creative resistance, and the intersection of race, class, gender, sexuality, memory, and spirit. Her poems and essays are featured in several anthologies, including Word Warriors: 35 Women Leaders in the Spoken Word Revolution and We Dont Need Another Wave: Dispatches from the Next Generation of Feminists. Her writing has also been published in the Utne Reader, Make/Shift Magazine, Left Turn, and numerous other magazines and journals. She currently lives in Northampton, Massachusetts, where she was the 20102012 Poet Laureate. While her screenplays and plays have been published to acclaim, this is her long-awaited rst book of poetry.
With rhythmic poetry and intimate prose, Haiti Glass offers an uninching look at disaster, desire, and death-defying love.

Margaux Williamson
Like all my favorite art, these paintings bring out that covetous feeling. I want to wear them, dance to them, show them o as an example of how life feels to me: dirty, dumb, terrifying, spiritual, and so funny.Miranda July In a time of ironic detachment, Margaux Williamson is a painter of extreme candor, but the violence of her vision is cut with wonder and love. Sometimes she recalls Phillip Guston, sometimes shes like a Pittsburgh-born van Gogh; usually she reminds me of nobody at all. Seeing as she sees feels like waking up. Ben Lerner From the artist the Toronto Star called one of the best artists of her generation, and whose 2010 movie Teenager Hamlet was praised by the likes of James Franco and William Shakespeare scholar Stephen Greenblatt, comes a breakthrough work for a world where the image of a painting on ones desktop is as real as the painting hanging in the gallery. Margaux Williamson has conceived of a place that never existed, called The Road at the Top of the World Museum, located in the far north, and populated it with her most accomplished paintings yet. With essays by Chris Kraus, Leanne Shapton, David Balzer, and Mark Greif, and reproductions of eighty paintings, this, her rst book, transcends the boundary between the authentic and the imaginary, and collapses the distinction between art show, museum catalog, and document of something astonishing that never was. Margaux Williamson was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and lives in Toronto, Ontario. Shes co-author of the cultural criticism website Back to the World.

Praise for Andr Alexiss previous books: Astonishing . . . an irresistible, one-of-a-kind work.Quill & Quire Alexis [has an] astute understanding of the madly shimmering, beautifully weaving patterns created by what we have agreed to call memory.Ottawa Citizen There were plans for an ocial welcome. It was to take place the following Sunday. But those who came to the rectory on Father Pennants second day were the ones who could not resist seeing him sooner. Here was the man to whom they would confess the darkest things. It was important to feel him out. Mrs Young, for instance, after she had seen him eat a piece of her macaroni pie, quietly asked what he thought of adultery. Andr Alexis brings a modern sensibility and a new liveliness to an age-old genre, the pastoral. For his very rst parish, Father Christopher Pennant is sent to the sleepy town of Barrow. With more sheep than people, its very bucolictoo much Barrow Brew on Barrow Day is the rowdiest it gets. But things arent so idyllic for Liz Denny, whose anc doesnt want to decide between Liz and his more worldly mistress Jane, and for Father Pennant himself, who greets some miracles of naturemayors walking on water, talking sheepwith a profound crisis of faith. Andr Alexis was born in Trinidad and grew up in Canada. His debut novel, Childhood, won the Books in Canada First Novel Award, the Trillium Book Award, and was shortlisted for the Giller Prize and the Writers Trust Fiction Prize. His books include Asylum and Ingrid and the Wolf.

Sina Queyras is a poet to read and reckon with.Lambda Literary Review MxT, or Memory x Time, is one of the formulas acclaimed poet Sina Queyras posits as a way to measure grief. These poems mourn the dead by turning memories over and over in their hands, by invoking other poets, by appropriating science, by studying the history of elegy. Devastating, cheeky, allusive, hallucinatory: this is Queyras at her most powerful. All the gods know is destinations. I have raised A glass, my eye, your hook. Lets face it the world Is a shrinking place and hungry: too much grief To feed. I oat away from you on hard Covers. I step out on the stacked hours. Words If they were soil how I would throw them back into the Compost pile and wait for spring. Those this is how It is, speeches appear and later diamonds soft as bullets.

The poems in Broom Broom pervert the rational, safe parts of the world to extoll and absorb the sweep of human history. What I mean to say is, the evidence is always there.

Josh Ostergaard
The Devils Snake Curve oers an alternative American history, in which colonialism, jingoism, capitalism, and faith are represented by baseball. Personal and political, it twines Japanese internment camps with the Yankees; Walmart with the Kansas City Royals; and facial hair patterns with militarism, Guantanamo, and the modern security state. An essay, a miscellany, and a passionate unsettling of Josh Ostergaards relationship with our national pastime, it allows for both the clover of a childhood outeld and the persistence of the games service to those in power. America and baseball are both hard to love or leave in this by turns coruscating and heartfelt debut. Josh Ostergaard holds an MFA in creative writing from the University of Minnesota and an MA in cultural anthropology. He has been an urban anthropologist at the Field Museum and now works at Graywolf Press.
A humorous, historical, and hirsute miscellany thats the baseball book Howard Zinn would have written if he hated the Yankees.

Phillip Toledano became a father at the age of forty. He fell in love with his daughter about a year and a half later, when he realized she was the most bewitching human being hed ever seen. Initially, though, things were dierent. The Reluctant Father follows Phillips journey at the beginning of fatherhood. The rst eighteen months were a time of torment, dismay, and confusion. The blinding light of unalloyed love came later. Its a surprisingly frank, funny, and moving account, and he hopes his daughter wont hold it against him when shes grown up. In many ways, The Reluctant Father is a sequel to the best-selling Days With My Father, which documented the three years Phillip spent taking care of his father, who suered from dementia. Phillip Toledano is an Englishman living in New York. With an established international reputation, he has been a photographer and artist for the last twelve years. In that time, he has published four books, ranging in subject from plastic surgery, phone sex, and failing businesses through to the last years he spent with his father. His work combines great poignancy with a rich vein of humor.
A humourous and touching account of one mans troubled journey down the rocky road of fatherhood.

Anyone can draw a cat, anyone can draw a little girl or a man with a hat, but not everyone can make that cat, that little girl and that man with a hat dierent from any weve ever seen before and have them become part of our world, as if we knew them personally. Liniers draws characters, and his characters are macanudos, which is to say extraordinary and awesome. And he draws them so well that theyre all lovely, even the ugly ones are so perfectly ugly that theyre beautiful. Loners, with a pop innocence thats sometimes a bit perverse, they move elegantly between sadness and astonishment, like anonymous actors in small B movies.Maitena In Macanudo, Ricardo Liniers Siri uses crayon, ink, and watercolor with incredible skill to render an entire world that is poetic, absurd, emotionally expressive, and full of surprise. Anything and everything about our world can nd its way into Macanudo, but it will have passed through Linierss particular lter, and it thus will have become rendered funny, beautiful, and incredibly sympathetic. Ricardo Liniers Siri was born in 1973 in Buenos Aires, Argentina, where he now lives with his wife and three daughters. For more than ten years he has published an enormously popular daily strip, Macanudo, in Argentinas largest daily newspaper, La Nacion. Up until now, nine collections of the strip have been published in Argentina. He also travels around the world drawing on stage with musician Kevin Johansen. His work has been published in nine countries, including Spain, Italy, France, Brazil, and the Czech Republic. His rst book to be published in the United States was The Big Wet Balloon (September 2013). Mara Faye Lethem has translated novels by David Trueba, Albert Snchez Piol, Idelfonso Falcones, Javier Calvo, Patricio Pron, Marc Pastor, and Pablo De Santis, among others. Her translations have appeared in The Best American Non-Required Reading 2010, Granta, the Paris Review, and McSweeneys.
In English for the rst time, these comic strips from the Argentinian artist Ricardo Liniers Siri are poetic, inventive, absurd, and funny.

Fisher surely hovers over this book, amused and beguiled by a cook whose prose has the same artful composure, and whose cooking possesses a similar innate sense of style.John Thorne, author of Serious Pig: An American Cook in Search of His Roots Id just like a rell, please. A second cool, tall glass of Jam.Maggie Ruggiero, Gather Journal recipe editor and food stylist Warm, conversational, and exquisitely practical, Tod Davies shares her experiences discovering new ways to cook and enjoy a meal with friends, family, and even beloved pets, during the best and worst of times.

David Willman
A mystery story about murder committed on the national stage . . . we have a twisted villain whose secret life is laid utterly bare. Unlike most mysteries, this one is literally true, carefully documented and skillfully told by one of Americas nest investigative journalists.John S. Carroll, Los Angeles Times In the dark days that followed September 11, America faced its rst major bioterror attack that led to ve deaths, seventeen infections, and a seven-year hunt for the culprit. The Ames Strain is an engrossing and unsparing portrait of Bruce Edward Ivins, the deeply troubled US Army scientist that the United States Department of Justice concluded to be the sole perpetrator of the anthrax attacks. David Willman uncovers the struggle for control within the FBIs anthrax investigation, the missteps of an overzealous press, and how a cadre of government ocials disregarded scientic evidence in order to spin the attacks into a basis for war with Iraq. With bioweapons continuing to make the news, the lessons from the Ivins case and Willmans thorough investigation are more relevant than ever. David Willman is a Pulitzer Prizewinning investigative journalist whose work has prompted major public health reforms. His reporting for the Los Angeles Times brought to light the pivotal developments surrounding the 2001 anthrax letter attacks. Willmans groundbreaking reporting in 2008 on the investigation of the deadly anthrax mailings was cited by the Scripps Howard Foundation as the years best Washington-based coverage.
A gripping investigation into the US Army scientist alleged to be behind the 2001 anthrax attacks.

Paisley Mischief is a delightfully droll satire set in the most exclusive private mens club on New Yorks Park Avenue. The Avenue Club is a place where rich banker-types meet in easy camaraderie and no one wears trunks in the pool, because when youre the right sort of person, youre supposed to have nothing to hide. When a famously brash movie producer applies for membership, longsimmering tensions at The Avenue rise to a boil. Who is Max Guberstein and where did he come from? Why does he want to join and most important, will he get in? These are the questions on everyones mind, but its left up to Dante Peneld, the club presidents feckless nephew, and his resourceful roommate Audrey to gure out the answers. Oering an inside glimpse into the preppy world, this tightly plotted comedy rolls like a freight train toward its ingenious conclusion. Paisley Mischief is reminiscent of the best drawing room comedies with its hilariously drawn characters and their highly incompatible views of the world. You will be charmed!

Too drastic, too crazy, too out there, too early, too late, too damaged, too muchValerie Solanas has been dismissed but never forgotten. She has become, unwittingly, a gurehead for womens unexpressed rage, and stands at the center of many worlds. She inhabited Andy Warhols Factory scene, circulated among feminists and the countercultural underground, charged men money for conversation, despised daddys girls, and outlined a vision for radical gender dystopia. Known for shooting Andy Warhol in 1968 and for writing the polemical diatribe SCUM Manifesto, Solanas is one of the most famous women of her era. SCUM Manifestowhich predicted ATMs, test-tube babies, the Internet, and articial insemination long before they existedhas sold more copies, and has been translated into more languages, than nearly all other feminist texts of its time. Shockingly little work has interrogated Solanass life. This book is the rst biography about Solanas, including original interviews with family, friends (and enemies), and numerous living Warhol associates. It reveals surprising details about her life: the children nearly no one knew she had, her drive for control over her own writing and copyright, and her elusive personal and professional relationships. Valerie Solanas addresses how this era changed the world and depicts an iconic gure whose life is at once tragic and remarkable. Breanne Fahs is an associate professor of women and gender studies at Arizona State University, a practicing clinical psychologist, and the author of Performing Sex and The Moral Panics of Sexuality.

Like the Oppen she takes as her epigraph, Sasha Steensens is a poetry that feels magically made via both subtraction and building. With language as lush as Hopkins and then as small and weird as Niedeckers, Steensen tells a story, or alights in and out of a story, all her own. Its an American story, too, with all the bloodiness and experiment that such a thing requires.Maggie Nelson Sasha Steensens third volume is a lyric inquiry into a personal history of the back-to-the-land idealism of the 1970s, with its promises and failings, naturalism gone awry, and journeys into the worlds of addiction, recovery, and, ultimately, family. If family is a body, learn its anatomy, Steensen writes early in the book, immediately before upending all our expectations and giving us new thoughts to think. The family bought a rural plot & planted a garden. The family formed thoughts. Within these thoughts, eggs hatched, animals were born, little wars formed. Each thought said unspeakable things to the other thoughts. As you know, unspoken thoughts rot. Sasha Steensen teaches poetry workshops, literature courses, letterpress printing, and bookmaking at Colorado State University. She is the author of The Method (2008) and A Magic Book (Alberta Prize, 2004), and chapbooks including A History of the Human Family (2010), The Future of an Illusion (2008), and correspondence (with Gordon Hadeld, 2004). Steensen is also co-editor of Bonre Press, and she serves as one of the poetry editors for Colorado Review.
A portrait in poems of the back-to-the-land movement of the 70s: the hippies and hicks, addictions and attempts at recovery.

Into the deeper shoals of syntax strolls Philip Jenks, sans machete, instead with a watering can lled to the brim with acto-juice precisely calculated to make those nouns and verbs and articles shoot to record heights and tangles. Kevin Killian Philip Jenkss poems land like bolts of plasma: superheated, suppurated, the inverted afterthought of destiny that awaits the speaker of one poem, or absurdities that make a devastating sense, as when Jenks asks about temperature of God while invoking the res of Auschwitz, or when he imagines meth-laced syringes puncturing a users skin from the inside out. These poems draw blood. FOX HOLE where the heart sits. Body song Of a prayer, you. Ensemble Ablated They pulled the skin and fur clean o, But the fox, panting, blinked with What was left of eyes. Peeled. Strung out Will I aid and abet With inaction? There is no dierence Between killing and allowing to die. Philip Jenks lives in Chicago, Illinois, where he teaches English at the University of Illinois at Chicago. His previous volumes are On the Cave You Live In (2002), My First Painting will be The Accuser (2005), and Disappearing Address (2010). He has toured and recorded with Neil Michael Hagerty as a member of The Howling Hex. His academic specializations are in gender studies, animal rights, and political philosophy. He likes good music and pinball.
Weird and wired, the poems in Philip Jenkss third collection scintillate with lyric absurdity and strange grace.

Feral House Chemtrails, HAARP, and the Full Spectrum Dominance of Planet Earth
Elana Freeland
We are entering a Space Age, but not the kind President Kennedy originally envisioned. This Space Age is replacing resource wars and redenes planet earth as a battlespace in accordance with the military doctrine of FullSpectrum Dominance. This book examines how chemtrails and ionispheric heaters like the High-frequency Active Auroral Research Project (HAARP) in Alaska services a full-spectrum dominance. This Revolution in Military Aairs needs an atmospheric medium to assure wireless access to the bodies and brains of anyone on Earthfrom heat-seeking missiles to a form of mind control. How sinister are these technologies? Are we being prepared for a global village lockdown? The recent release of NSA records have reminded Americans that eyes in the sky are tracking us as supercomputers record the phone calls, e-mails, internet posts, and even the brain frequencies of millions. Elana M. Freelands startling book sifts through the confusion surrounding chemtrails-versus-contrails and how extreme weather is being geo-engineered to enrich disaster capitalists and intimidate nations. A deconstruction of Bernard J. Eastlunds HAARP patent points to other covert agendas, such as a global Smart Grid infrastructure that enables access to every body and brain on Earth, a transhumanist future that erases lines between human and machine, and nanobiological hybrids armed with microprocessers that infest and harm human bodies.
The skies look strange and different. Scientists are discovering heavy metals in the soil. Chemtrails tells us why.

Teary, big-eyed orphans and a multitude of trashy knockos epitomized American kitsch art as they clogged thrift stores for decades. When Adam Parfrey tracked down Walter Keanethe credited artist of the weepy waifs, for a San Diego Reader cover story in 1992he discovered some shocking facts. Decades of lawsuits and countersuits revealed the reality that Keane was more of a con man than an artist, and that he forced his wife Margaret to sign his name to her own paintings. As a result, those weepy waifs may not have been as capricious an invention as they seemed. Parfreys story was reprinted in Juxtapoz magazine and inspired a Margaret Keane exhibition at the Laguna Art Museum. And now director Tim Burton is lming a movie about the Keanes called Big Eyes, and its scheduled for release in 2014. Burtons Ed Wood, starring Johnny Depp, was based upon the Feral House book edited and published by Parfrey about the angora sweaterwearing B-lm director. Citizen Keane is a book-length expansion of Parfreys original article, providing fascinating biographical and sociological details, photographs, color reproductions, and appendices with legal documents and a pseudonymous essay by Tom Wolfe inating big eye art to those painted by the great masters.
The strange saga of the famous kitsch artists, the Keanes, soon to be seen in the forthcoming movie Big Eyes.

Phil Stanford
Ex-stripper Heidi Rikan was working for the mob in Washington, DC. White House Call Girl tells how a call girl operation she was running at the time led to the Watergate break-in, which brought down Tricky Dick Nixon himself. Needless to say, this is not part of the usual Watergate story that has come down to us over the decades. It is also only fair to point out that this version of the story might be dismissed out of hand as being dangerous revisionist history. If youre not careful, you might end up being called a conspiracy theorist. You can also be called crazywhich is what happened to a young lawyer named Phillip Bailley, one of the principal witnesses to this ignored bit of American history. When he was foolish enough to blow the whistle on Rikan and her call girl ring, he was locked up at St. Elizabeths, the District of Columbias mental hospital, in the ward for the criminally insane. For forty years weve only heard the Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein perspective on Watergate. Now weve got the photographs for the revisionist model. Whats more, weve got Heidis little black book. White House Call Girl was published last season in an eBook edition only. The paperback edition includes new information on the murder of call girl and playmate of Vice President Spiro AgnewPat Adams. With the help of newly-released FBI documents, we ll in more of the blanks in this longsuppressed story.
Here is the secretive back story of Watergate, involving mobsters, prostitutes, and intelligence agencies.

David Cole
David Stein brought right-wing congressmen, celebrities, writers and entertainment industry gures together for shindigs, closed to outsiders. . . . There was just one problem. Stein was not who he claimed.The Guardian In 2013, Republican hero David Stein made international headlines when he was unmasked as David Cole, the notorious Jewish Holocaust denier who made an entirely dierent set of headlines in the 1990s with his videos from within the gates of Auschwitz and his appearances on shows like 60 Minutes and Donahue. After a $25,000 bounty was put on his head by a violent extremist group, Cole left behind the bizarre world of Holocaust denial, a landscape populated by Hitler fetishists who Cole himself detested. Then, David Stein the Republican organizer was born. Stein soon became a major force in the closed-door world of Hollywood right-wingerspeople who felt as alienated from the mainstream of their profession as Cole had felt as the lone Jewish Holocaust revisionist. Soon enough, Stein was working with major GOP power players and far-right Hollywood A-listers, creating huge private events for the West Coast GOP elite . . . until it all came crashing down when a vengeful former girlfriend outed him publicly. Condemned by those who had previously lauded him, Cole was left with nothing but his story. And here he tells it, warts and all, including the rstever expos of the secretive Hollywood far-right underground, Friends of Abe.
The story of GOP activist David Stein, who was exposed as a notorious Holocaust denier.

Often Christians who struggle with sex addiction live the ultimate Jekyll and Hyde existence, being active in their church communities even as they hide their addiction. The Christian church, in general, struggles to address issues of sexuality in a non-shaming way, which further supports the hidden nature of the addiction. For these men and women, spirituality and sexuality have become compartmentalized. Recovery, then, must involve the integration of healthy spiritual beliefs and practices with healthy sexuality. Shadows of the Cross used in conjunction with Dr. Patrick Carness book Facing the Shadow will provide a roadmap for this healing journey. Shadows of the Cross provides an early spiritual focus to recovery while addressing issues of sexuality in a non-shaming way using Biblical scripture to encourage long-term recovery. Shadows of the Cross oers unique guidance on spiritual practices such as Christian meditation, contemplative reading, solitude, confession, study, and prayer. This book was written specically for the subset of those in recovery who self-identify as Christian. Craig S. Cashwell, PhD, is a professor in the department of counseling and educational development at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro who maintains a part-time private practice focused on sex addiction and couples counseling. Pennie K. Johnson, LPC, CSAT, is a clinical therapist who has a passion for working with congregations and their church members who are suering with addiction, primarily sexual addiction. Patrick Carnes, PhD, is an internationally known educator, researcher, author, and speaker on addiction and recovery issues.

Is Latino art an integral part of modern American art? Presenting over one hundred major artworks from the Smithsonian American Art Museum, Our America seeks to recalibrate enduring concepts about American national culture by exploring how one group of artiststhose of Latin American descent and heritageexpress their relationship to American art, history, and culture. E. Carmen Ramos addresses the whole issue of the denition of Latino art and how this emerged within the context of the Civil Rights movement of the 1960s as American artists of Latino descent (Mexican American, Puerto Rican, Cuban American, and, more recently, Dominican) began to give a tangible face to their culture and history. Highlights include an installation altar by Amalia Mesa-Bains, the recycled lms of Raphael Montaez Ortiz, and a 1960 geometric painting by Carmen Herrera. Other notable artists include Olga Albizu, Margarita Cabrera, Maria Magdalena Campos-Pons, Melesio Mel Casas, Enrique Chagoya, Teresita Fernndez, Ken Gonzales-Day, Luis Jimnez, Ana Mendieta, Pepn Osorio, Sophie Rivera, Freddy Rodrguez, and John M. Valadez, among many others. Author and curator E. Carmen Ramos is the Smithsonian American Art Museums curator of Latino art. She has organized numerous shows, including the fth biennial at El Museo del Barrio in New York City in 2007. Toms Ybarra-Frausto, PhD, the grandfather of this subject, and formerly associate director for creativity and culture at the Rockefeller Foundation in New York, has written and published extensively on US/Latino cultural issues.

As the Great Depression tightens its grip, and Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow gain notoriety in Texas, a series of bank robberies make headlines in Switzerland. The prime suspects are two young men, who steal small sums of money from city banks and are unafraid to use force when faced with capture. Meanwhile, a shop assistant in Basel encounters two mysterious yet charismatic men from Wuppertal, with a seemingly insatiable love for jazz; day after day they come to see her, and soon the shop assistant begins to form a romantic attachment to one of the menthough she is not permitted to know her friends real name. Capus paints an honest and moving portrait of 1930s Switzerlandthe bleak rituals of Nazism are taking shape and permeate Swiss as well as German society, and the two unemployed youths dreams of escape to a new life become increasingly corrupted as the bank raids take a violent turn. Yet the humanity of their relationships is juxtaposed against the cruelty of their crimes, and Capuss subtle prose leaves the reader to distinguish the sacred from the profane. Alex Capus was born in 1961 and has published numerous works, including novels, collections of short stories, essays, and historical accounts, as well as translations into German of A Confederacy of Dunces by John Kennedy Toole and three novels by the John Fante.

In July 1923, Franz Kafka is convalescing by the Baltic Sea when he meets Dora Diamant and falls in love. Set over the last year of Kafkas life, the tale of Franz and Doras fragile time together in Germany juxtaposes the excitement and vitality of Weimar Berlin with Kafkas indecision and failing health. Mediated through letters, telegraphs, and the telephone, Michael Kumpfmller captures the exhilaration of modernity and the essence of a friendship nourished by communication. The Glory of Life meditates on what really makes life worth living. A compelling combination of historical research and ctional reconstruction, this evocative and artful novel captures the inner life of one of the twentieth centurys most inuential and revered literary gures. Michael Kumpfmller was born in Munich, Germany, in 1961 and now lives in Berlin. His debut novel The Adventures of a Bed Salesman (Picador) was published in 2003 to critical acclaim, and his 2009 novel Message to All won the Alfred Dblin Prize.

The history of the island of Cyprus is in many ways a world history. Its strategic position has seen it coveted by one foreign power after another; they all came here and they all left their mark. Aside from the Roman and earlyByzantine ruins of Salamis, the most impressive monuments date from Frankish and Venetian times; the Abbey of Bellapais, the fortied harbor of Kyrenia, and the magnicent cathedrals of Nicosia and Famagustathe setting for William Shakespeares Othello. Joachim Sartorius tells of Cypriot culture and legends, sifting the sediments of the islands history, including its division after the Turkish invasion of 1974.

Pacic Passages
Travelling the South Seas
Hans-Christof Wchter
The rst Europeans to catch sight of the islands of the South Seas believed they had chanced upon paradise, and the tales they told on returning to their homes encouraged others to idealize the islands as a tropical Arcadia. The truth was very dierent; the apparent idyll of the South Sea islanders was soon shattered by the fatal impact of European discovery. Travel writer HansChristof Wchter sailed to Vanuatu, Ovalau, Fiji, Rarotonga, and the Cook Islands seeking the rhythms of the lives of the islanders, and discovered that the South Sea Islands were never what the Europeans imagined them to be.

Noam Chomsky
Introduction by Marcus Raskin
Praise for Noam Chomskys Hopes and Prospects: A revelation. . . . This is a book woven through with hope and awe at all the people who slip beyond imperial control and establish real democracy . . . a treasure-trove.The Independent In this collection of essays from 1969 to 2013, many in book form for the rst time, Noam Chomsky examines the nature of state power, from the ideologies driving the Cold War to the War on Terror, and reintroduces the moral and legal questions that all too often go unheeded.

Tom Engelhardt
Foreword by Glenn Greenwald
Praise for Tom Engelhardts The United States of Fear: Tom Engelhardt, as always, focuses his laser-like intelligence on a core problem that the media avoid. . . . A stunning polemic.Mike Davis Praise for The American War of War: A tour de force.Jeremy Scahill In 1964, a book entitled The Invisible Government shocked Americans with its revelations of a growing world of intelligence agencies playing fast and loose around the planet, a secret government lodged inside the one they knew that even the president didnt fully control. Almost half a century later, everything about that invisible government has grown vastly larger, more disturbing, and far more visible. In his new book, Tom Engelhardt takes in something new under the sun: what is no longer, as in the 1960s, a national security state, but a global security one, ghting secret wars that have turned the president into an assassin-in-chief. Shadow Government oers a powerful survey of a democracy of the wealthy that your grandparents wouldnt have recognized. Tom Engelhardt created and runs the TomDispatch.com website, a project of the Nation Institute, where he is a fellow. He is the author of The American Way of War and The United States of Fear, both published by Haymarket Books; a highly praised history of American triumphalism in the cold war, The End of Victory Culture; and of a novel, The Last Days of Publishing. He lives in New York. Glenn Greenwald is a columnist on civil liberties and US national security issues for the Guardian.
A powerful survey of a militarized America building a surveillance structure unparalleled in history.

Naseer Aruri
Since 1948, the question of Palestine has been the focus of numerous United Nations resolutions that uphold the right of the Palestinians to return to their land, establish their own independent state alongside Israel, receive compensation, and gain restitution. Any redress to the Palestinians, however, has been preempted by Israeli and American obstinacy and diplomatic maneuvering, in part through manipulation of the peace process. The marginalization of international law, together with the growing ascendancy of the role of Israel, promoted and protected by the United Statess virtually total diplomatic control over regional negotiations, have combined to create a situation in which blame for the Palestinian catastrophe is placed on the victims of the occupation. American assistance to the Israelis is not limited to diplomatic support in international institutions. The United States has also paid for much of the Israelis military. This has left a bitter legacy that Washington can only address by taking seriously its responsibilities to all the people of the region through a balanced foreign policy that is consistent with contemporary norms of human rights.

Left-Wing Communism
An Infantile Disorder
Vladimir Lenin
Edited by Ahmed Shawki
Few gures from the revolutionary struggles of the early twentieth century continue to be more polarizing than Vladimir Lenin.

This new edition provides a critical introduction and additional explanatory materials.

Jane Yolen
Jane Yolens new collection of sixty political poems presents us with a courageous perspective of our most troubling events: the Holocaust, the Boston massacre, endless war, global warmingall with a search for the moral imperative. From Listening to the News Reminds Me of Yeats: . . . Yeats set it all down rst: that bloody tide of change and not-change, that bloody intensity of right and not-right, the beast stalking the presidency down the twisty, blackened capitol streets. We were warned, we did not listen, and the teeth are at the back of our necks. Soon they will be at the front. In Fahrenheit, Yolen protests the burning of her book because a character is gay: Before the arson could be stopped, a year of my writing went up in ames. Far away on the East Coast of America I felt the heat of it burning my cheeks. Somewhere in Germany, an old man dances. Jane Yolen, often called the Hans Christian Andersen of America, is the author of over 340 books, including Owl Moon and The Devils Arithmetic.
Jane Yolens spirited poems of political protest are an impassioned call for social justice, equality, and peace in a troubled world. Marketing Plans

Kate Greens second full-length book of poetry spans twenty-ve years of writing, an accumulation of lyricism layered with wisdom. Her poems illuminate ordinary, broken things, drawing us toward the transcendent in the everyday. She is a native Minnesota poet, and her verse is grounded in that northern realm. But her work is anything but provincial, evoking as it does images and sensations that resonate within us all. Her recollection of her fathers mystical quest for the deep-swimming walleyed pikemonstrous lunkers, dying of old ageis both amusing and recognizable to anyone with their own obsessions. From lush Caribbean islands to the arid hills of New Mexico to the innermost recesses of her own body, this poets vibrant voice takes the reader into her own pure land. From Question for the Newborn: if you think back maybe it will come to you, the ecstatic pain of cells dividing, face coiling out of the brain, the time in the mothery sea when the outside of your face was the same as your mind and your skin was not a shell but the inside of a ower that in turn was a wound so open we call it human. Kate Greens poetry has received two Bush Foundation Fellowships in Poetry and a Loft McKnight Award. Her novel Shattered Moon was nominated for the Edgar Allan Poe Award and was a Book-of-the-Month Club selection. She has published four other mystery novels and eight books for children. She teaches college writing in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Strike Back
Using the Militant Tactics of Labors Past to Reignite Public Sector Unionism Today
Joe Burns
During the 1960s and 1970s, hundreds of thousands of teachers, sanitation workers, and other public employees rose up to demand collective bargaining rights in one of the greatest upsurges. These workers were able to transform the nature of public employment, win union recognition for millions, and ultimately force reluctant politicians to pass laws allowing for collective bargaining and even the right to strike. Strike Back uncovers this history of militancy to provide tactics for a new generation of public employees facing unprecedented attacks on their collective bargaining rights.

Bittersweet
Photographs by Michel Vanden Eeckhoudt
Introduction by Jean-Christophe Bailly
Monkey or dog, animals strange or familiar, Belgian photographer Michel Vanden Eeckhoudt does not dierentiate. He xes a moment of meeting between two beings, so close, so dierent. Beyond the bizarre, beyond the comical nature that underscores without caricaturizing, there is a respect of the other, a tenderness, a humility in his photographs that charges them with rare emotion. Since he began looking through his Leicas viewnder, he has created pure and elegant photographs marked by a constant sense of humor. His compositions are arranged with a steady eye while managing to transform real life moments into often mysterious images.

Light Shift
Photographs by Peter Schlr
Text by Milan Chlumsky
The sensitive handling of light has distinguished Peter Schlrs photographic work for more than two decades. In his most recent compositions as well, elements unnoticed at rst glance gradually emerge in what initially seemed to be abstract black-and-white elds. The landscape in Turkey or the Canary Islands that was at rst perceived as untamed nature turns out to be a civilized landscapeattesting to the intervention of human hands. By harking back to the grand tradition of landscape painting, Peter Schlr restores to photography its original description as hliogravure: drawing with light.

My Mind is Racing
Photographs and text by Jory Hull
Text by Julian Sander
Grown up as a typical car-obsessed American kid, Jory Hull explores the primitive, fascinating elegance of racing vehicles from a bygone era. The artist frames these machines as the colorful, handmade tools that they are, often abstracting their details into almost pure graphic compositions. This series of photographs, taken over the course of a decade, capture the surfaces and inner workings of these objects at rest, revealing unusual details of these machines designed for erce competition, created to live at high speed. The quiet beauty of these cars at rest, one imagines the sights and sounds of them at full fury.

In the mid-1950s Swiss artist Jean Tinguely (19251991) began the production of a series titled Mta-Matics: machines that produced art works. Tinguely not only problematized the introduction of the robotic machine as interface in our society, but also questioned the role of the artist, the art work, and the viewer. Recently the Metamatic Research Initiative in Amsterdam mounted a competition to explore the potential of drawing machines for art today. Ten selected projects prove the continued relevance of the theme, amongst them a performance-pavilion by Marina Abramovic, a large environment by Thomas Hirschhorn, and an installation by Jon Kessler. Artists include Marina Abramovic, Ranjit Bhatnagar, John Bock, Olav Breuning, Thomas Hirschhorn, Aleksandra Hirszfeld, Jon Kessler, Pors & Rao, Joao Simoes, and Brigitte Zieger.

Yanna Gong
I nally understood that my parents were heroically upholding the values of the society they grew up in. For me, this book is not just an investigation into the Chinese education system: it is personal. Gaokao (pronounced gow cow) is the term used since the days of Imperial China when the only way to advance in society was to undertake rigorous examinations to be promoted into the civil service system. Today, the word is still very much in use to describe the fervor surrounding many Chinese, Asian, and even non-Asian parents and students as they prepare for exam taking in China and in the other countries, including the United States. Growing up in both Chinese and American cultures, Yanna Gong reveals the details of her own life to show how the often relentless drive toward academic excellence is the norm for many Asian and Asian American kids, as well as entire families, whose collective neurosis has become a global phenomenon. But at what cost, both mentally and physically? This highly personal account is a must-read for educators, parents, and kids. Yanna Gong is a high school senior in Eden Prairie, Minnesota. This is her rst book.

Wild meat, hunted in a responsible way, is one of the most healthful, sustainable foods possible. Depending on how it is done, hunting can be as local, intimate, and humane as it gets. And aside from this, it demands the hunter enter a world of awareness, wildness, life, and death that as a culture we have forgotten. The Compassionate Hunters Guidebook is a guide for those that come to the act of hunting with pure intentions, motivated by a desire for healthy food that comes directly from the land where they live. This practical manual suggests that hunting is not a sport and the animals whose lives are taken are not game. It combines a deep, philosophical exploration of the ethics of killing with detailed instructions on every step of the process including: Understanding your prey Tools, techniques, and preparation The act of the hunt From forest to tableprocessing, preserving, and preparing your kill
A unique and comprehensive, fully illustrated guide to the complexity, ethics, and spirit of the hunt, The Compassionate Hunters Guidebook is a must-read for beginning and experienced hunters alike. It will appeal to anyone who wishes to delve more deeply into the complex, humbling, and ultimately profound reality of our relationship with the food that nourishes us. Miles Olson has spent the past decade immersed in learning and practicing earth skills. The author of Unlearn, Rewild, his experiences living on the land have made him an expert on rewilding.

Everyone loves to prepare a meal with ingredients fresh from their own garden. But for most of us, no matter how plentiful our harvest, homegrown produce comprises only a fraction of what we eat. And while many gardening guides will tell you everything you ever wanted to know about individual crops, few tackle the more involved task of helping you maximize the percentage of your diet you grow yourself. Grow a Sustainable Diet will help you develop a comprehensive, customized garden plan to produce the maximum number of calories and nutrients from any available space. Avoid arriving in August buried under a mountain of kale or zucchini (and not much else) by making thoughtful choices at the planning stage, focusing on dietary staples and key nutrients. Learn how to calculate: Which food and cover crops are best for your specic requirements How many seeds and plants of each variety you should sow What and when to plant, harvest, and replant for maximum yield

Foreword by Severine von Tscharner Fleming, The Greenhorns Illustrated by Marie Bilodeau
Les Jardins de la Grelinette is a micro-farm located in eastern Quebec, just north of the American border. Growing on just 1.5 acres, owners Jean-Martin and Maude-Helne feed more than two hundred families through their thriving CSA and seasonal market stands and supply their signature mesclun salad mix to dozens of local establishments. The secret of their success is the lowtech, high-yield production methods theyve developed by focusing on growing better rather than growing bigger, making their operation more lucrative and viable in the process. The Market Gardener is a compendium of la Grelinettes proven horticultural techniques and innovative growing methods. This complete guide is packed with practical information on: Setting-up a micro-farm by designing biologically intensive cropping systems, all with negligible capital outlay Farming without a tractor and minimizing fossil fuel inputs through the use of the best hand tools, appropriate machinery, and minimum tillage practices Growing mixed vegetables systematically with attention to weed and pest management, crop yields, harvest periods, and pricing approaches Inspired by the French intensive tradition of maraichage and by iconic American vegetable grower Eliot Coleman, author and farmer Jean-Martin shows by example how to start a market garden and make it both very productive and profitable. Making a living wage farming without big capital outlay or acreages may be closer than you think. Jean-Martin Fortier is a passionate advocate of strong local food systems and founder of Les Jardins de la Grelinette, an internationally recognized model for successful biointensive micro-farming.

New Society Publishers Reclaiming the Commons for the Common Good
Heather Menzies
Commoning was a way of life for most of our ancestors. In Reclaiming the Commons for the Common Good, author Heather Menzies journeys to her roots in the Scottish Highlands, where her family lived in direct relation with the land since before recorded time. Beginning with an intimate account of unearthing the heritage of the commons and the real tragedy of its loss, Menzies oers a detailed description of the self-organizing, self-governing, and self-informing principles of this nearly forgotten way of life, including its spiritual practices and traditions. She then identies pivotal commons practices that could be usefully revived today. A nal manifesto section pulls these facets together into a unied vision for reclaiming the commons, drawing a number of current popular initiatives into the commoning frame, such as local food security, permaculture, and the Occupy Movement. An engaging memoir of personal and political discovery, Reclaiming the Commons for the Common Good combines moving reections on our common heritage with a contemporary call to action, individually and collectively; locally and globally. Readers will be inspired by the books vision of reviving the commons ethos of empathy and mutual respect, and energized by her practical suggestions for connecting people and place for the common good. Heather Menzies is an award-winning writer and scholar and member of the Order of Canada. She is the author of nine books, including Whose Brave New World? and No Time.
An intimate journey of personal and political discovery and a call to action.

David Bollier
The biggest tragedy of the commons is the misconception that commons are failuresrelics from another era rendered unnecessary by the market and state. Think Like a Commoner dispels such prejudices by explaining the rich history and promising future of the commonsan ageless paradigm of cooperation and fairness that is re-making our world. With graceful prose and dozens of fascinating stories, David Bollier describes the quiet revolution that is pioneering practical forms of selfgovernance and production controlled by people themselves. Think Like a Commoner explains how the commons: Is an exploding eld of DIY innovation ranging from Wikipedia and seed-sharing to community forests, collaborative consumption, and beyond Challenges the standard narrative of market economics by explaining how cooperation generates signicant value and human fulllment Provides a framework of law and social action that can help us move beyond the pathologies of neoliberal capitalism We have a choice: ignore the commons and suer the ongoing private plunder of our common wealth, or Think Like a Commoner and learn how to rebuild our society and reclaim our shared inheritance. This accessible, comprehensive introduction to the commons will surprise and enlighten you, and provoke you to action. David Bollier is an author, activist, blogger, and independent scholar. He is the author of six books on dierent aspects of the commons, including Green Governance, The Wealth of the Commons, and Viral Spiral, and is a frequent speaker at conferences, colleges and universities, and policy workshops.
A new world based on fairness, self-reliance, and pride is closer than you think . . . if you learn to think like a commoner.

For most of human history, people have lived in durable, comfortable buildings made from natural materials such as soil, sand, rocks, and ber. All over the globe, these ancient traditions persist; a quarter to a third of the worlds population today lives in houses built partially or entirely of earth. Conventional Western building techniques using industrial materials may save time and create eciencies, but these perceived savings come at considerable nancial and environmental cost. As well as boasting a unique and beautiful aesthetic, natural building techniques are accessible, aordable, and non-toxic. Earthen Floors: A Modern Approach to an Ancient Practice is the rst comprehensive, fully illustrated manual covering the history, use, and maintenance of this attractive, practical ooring option. This detailed, fully illustrated guide explains every part of the process, including: Sourcing and harvesting materials Preparing the suboor Pouring, nishing, and sealing the oor Living with and maintaining your earthen oor
Because information on creating quality earthen oors was not previously widely available, there have been some negative experiences. Drawing on the combined knowledge of the most qualied earthen oor practitioners, as well their own substantial experience, the authors deliver the denitive resource for this exciting technique, perfect for everyone from the novice to veteran builder. Sukita Reay Crimmel has installed over twenty thousand square feet of earthen ooring, and is one of the preeminent experts in the emerging eld of earthen oors. James Thomson is part of House Alive, one of the leading natural building training organizations in the country.

Online shopping continues to grow at an astounding rate: in 2012, more than $1 trillion was spent in online retailers alone.

With Click.ology, internet psychologist Graham Jones has lled that gap. Through years of research into Internet psychology and online consumer habits, Jones has written the rst how-to of its kind for online businesses. With his C.L.I.C.K. system, businesses will learn the crucial ways in which online shopping diers from traditional brick-and-mortar salesmanship and how to tweak their websites to avoid the dreaded abandoned shopping cart. Jones tackles tricky psychological subjects such as priming customers for a certain price point and the social aspect of online shopping in a way that makes his strategies easy to implement. In addition to these essential tips, Jones investigates the fast-paced future of ecommerce and what businesses can do to stay ahead of the game. In an online world where customers make their choices in a matter of seconds, Click.ology distills the essentials every company in the online economy needs to know in order to turn clicks into dollars. Graham Jones is an Internet psychologist who helps businesses understand the online behavior of their customers and website visitors.

Roger Bootle
The European Union was a brilliant stroke of political and economic engineering when it came into its current form, averting major wars and reducing social tensions among member states. But as Europe moves into the second decade of the twenty-rst century, problems are multiplyingproblems that arose due to the EUs very existence. In The Trouble with Europe, Roger Bootle, winner of the 2012 Wolfson Economics Prize, tackles the uncomfortable truth that the European Union might be going downand could take the global economy with it. Bootle expertly outlines the factors that gave birth to the European union of the twentieth century, from the collective Euro-spirit that initiated a solution to the regions various problems and the subsequent unforeseen consequences of the compromises nations made in order to create a sustainable organization. Bootle examines how the euro has hindered independent actions of member nations, both economically and politically, before envisaging how a post-EU Europe might come about and how it would aect the United Kingdom, along with other member states and the world at large. Is a full dissolution the only answer or could the United Kingdoms withdrawal be a viable course of action? With EU elections looming in May 2014, The Trouble with Europe is a compelling read for anyone interested in the economic, political, and social future of the United Kingdom and all of Europe. Roger Bootle is an economist and a weekly columnist for the Daily Telegraph. He is currently the managing director of Capital Economics, an independent macroeconomic research consultancy. Bootle is the author of several books, including The Trouble with Markets and Money for Nothing.

Praise for Jesse Moynihans Forming: One of the most hilarious and amazing bookshelf features Ive ever had the pleasure of reading.Its Nice That Civilization, but not quite as we know it, has started to take shape. And now, in the continuing chaos, the world and most of its inhabitants have brandished their swords and, in various fashions, have charged onto the battleeld. If Forming hailed the birth of civilization and mapped out the genesis of life, mass, time, and space, then Forming II is the raging war that ensues in the Universes years of adolescence.

His previous comics include the Xeric Awardwinning comic The Backwards Folding Mirror and Follow Me.

Superb biography. . . . Moore recounts [Nijinskys story] with scholarship, grace, and imagination.The Sunday Times She never loses sight of why Nijinskys art was so great. The result is a captivating biography.The Financial Times Arguably the greatest dancer of the twentieth century, Vaslav Nijinsky (18891950) transformed the world of ballet. On stage he blazed a trail as the rst male star of the modern era, with critics and audiences hailing him the God of the Dance. In his brief career as choreographer, his astonishing modernist compositionsmost controversially, Le Sacre du printemps (The Rite of Spring)had the same dramatic impact on ballet as the work of Pablo Picasso had on painting. His turbulent relationship with the powerful impresario Sergei Diaghilev not only propelled him to stardom but made him into a gay icon before such a thing had been dreamt of. But when Nijinsky escaped Diaghilevs control by eloping with a starstruck young follower of the Ballets Russes, their personal and professional association was shattered. Unable to work, Nijinskys world fell apart. In the rst full-length biography of Nijinsky for over thirty years, drawing on his diaries for the rst time, acclaimed historian Lucy Moore introduces this troubled genius and the world around him to a new generation, providing extraordinary insights into the creative process and personal relationships of one of the great cultural gures of the twentieth century. Lucy Moore is a writer and broadcaster whose books include the bestselling Maharanis. She lives in London, England.
The rst major biography for thirty years tells the tragic story of ballets great revolutionary, Vaslav Nijinsky.

Ogilvy is the creative force of modern advertising.The New York Times First collected by his devoted family and colleagues as a seventy-fth birthday present, The Unpublished David Ogilvy collects a careers worth of public and private communicationsmemos, letters, speeches, notes, and interviewsfrom the Father of Advertising and founder of Ogilvy & Mather. Still zzing with energy and freshness more than twenty-ve years after it was rst published, its success outside the private circle of friends and colleagues it was created for was, in the words of one of its editors, because so often he spoke out on important matters long before the crowd caught up to him; because all of what he says, he says so well; because so little of what he says in the book had ever before appeared in print. This is a business book unlike any other: a straightforward and incisive look at subjects such as salesmanship, management, and creativity, presented in Ogilvys trademark crisp prose. Whether carefully prepared for a lecture or as a private joke to a friend, his writing always underlines the importance of the rule it pays an agency to be imaginative and unorthodox. David Ogilvy, CBE, (19111999) is often described as the father of advertising. He founded New York agency Ogilvy & Mather in 1948, and his iconic campaigns include legendary adverts for Dove, Hathaway, Rolls Royce, and Guinness. Ogilvys best-selling book Confessions of an Advertising Man is still one of the most popular books on advertising.

Maxim Leo
Winner of the European Book Prize. A wry and unheroic witness to the distorting impact . . . that ideology has upon the daily life of the individual . . . [Leo] describes these ordinary lives . . . with great clarity, humor, and truthfulness.Julian Barnes Tender, acute, and utterly absorbing.Anna Funder, author of Stasiland The gripping story, lovingly told, of what held East Germany togetherand what, in the end, destroyed it. Growing up in East Berlin, Maxim Leo knew not to ask questions. All he knew was that his rebellious parents, Wolf and Anne, with their dyed hair, leather jackets, and insistence he call them by their rst names, were a bit embarrassing. That there were some places you couldnt play; certain things you didnt say. Now, married with two children and the Wall a distant memory, Maxim decides to nd the answers to the questions he couldnt ask. Why did his parents, once passionately in love, grow apart? Why did his father become so angry, and his mother end her career in journalism? And why did his grandfather Gerhard, the Socialist war hero, turn into a stranger? The story he unearths is, like his countrys past, one of hopes, lies, cruelties, betrayals, but also love. In Red Love he captures, with warmth and uninching honesty, why so many dreamed the German Democratic Republic would be a new world and why, in the end, it fell apart.

Arabic erotic literature has a long and rich history, which goes back as far as the ninth century. Far from being the pursuit of prurient pornographers, eroticism and sexuality received considerable attention from scholars. Written by Nasir al-Din al-Tusi (12011274), one of the leading scientists of the age, The Sultans Sex Potions is part of a group of works devoted to aphrodisiacs as well as sexual stimulants, sexual practices, and positions. Sober and measured in tone, the work was intended to be a manual that would allow the patient to dispense with the services of a physician. Written at the request of the ruler, its potions, electuaries, syrups, and enemas enjoyed a royal warrant of appointment to arouse the lust for coitus and enhance sexual potency. This volume includes a critical edition of three manuscripts (Berlin, Cairo, and Glasgow) and is accompanied by a translation, as well as an introduction to Arabic erotic literature, a biography of the author, and extensive indexes. A Persian polymath and prolic writer, Nasir al-Din al-Tusi (12011274) built up a large body of work ranging across a number of disciplines including mathematics, geometry, mineralogy, astronomy, medicine, philosophy, and theology. The Muslim scholar Ibn Khaldun (13321406) considered al-Tusi to be the greatest of the later Persian scholars. Daniel L. Newman is head of the Arabic Studies department, professor of Arabic, and course director of the MA in ArabicEnglish Translation and Interpreting at the University of Durham, England.

Shockingly beautiful and evocative . . . the artists echo the feelings of Palestinians who have to make do with life in a divided, disgured land. Raja Shehadeh In art and literature, walls are frequently used as powerful symbols of division. For the people of Palestine, however, the wall that cuts deeply into their land and society is all too real, snaking through over seven hundred kilometres of the West Bank. It throttles Palestinians, seals o Israelis, and all but guarantees perpetual ignorance, fear, and rage on both sides. Keep Your Eye on the Wall brings together seven award-winning artistphotographers and four essayists, all responding to the Wall in images or words, specially commissioned for this book. The photographers present unique perspectives, whether documenting the journey of laborers across the barrier, the desolation of abandoned checkpoints, or the tattered posters of martyrs on a wall in Gaza. Featuring the photographic work of Taysir Batniji, Raed Bawayah, Rula Halawani, Noel Jabbour, Raeda Saadeh, Steve Sabella, and Kai Wiedonhfer, and the words of Malu Halasa, Yael Lerer, Christine Leuenberger, and Adania Shibli.

The stories in Elegy on Kinderklavier travel around the world and to the moon, and along the way they tell you everything they know. Arna Hemenway writes a ction whose satisfactions are not merely narrative but musical, and it is a pleasure to listen to his stories as they rise into song.Kevin Brockmeier The stories in Elegy on Kinderklavier explore the profound loss and intricate effects of war on lives that have been suddenly misaligned. A diplomat navigates a hostile political climate and an arranged marriage in an Israeli settlement on a newly discovered planet; a small town in Kansas shuns the army recruiter who signed up its boys as troops are deployed to Iraq, falling in helicopters and on grenades; a family dissolves around mental illness and a childs body overtaken by cancer. The moment a soldier steps on an explosive device is painfully reproduced, nanosecond by nanosecond. Arna Bontemps Hemenways stories feel pulled out of time and place, and the suering of his characters seem at once otherworldly and stunningly familiar. Elegy on Kinderklavier is a disquieting exploration of what it is to lose and be lost. Arna Bontemps Hemenways ction has appeared in the Missouri Review, A Public Place, the Seattle Review, and Ecotone. Originally from Kentucky, he holds an MFA from the Iowa Writers Workshop, and has received scholarships from the Sewanee Writers Conference and Truman Capote Literary Trust.

What a strange and unexpected treasure chest this is, lled with all manner of quirky revelations, all about the mundane sublime and the ineable extraordinary. Most extraordinary of all, perhaps, though, is the haunting perfection, sentence by sentence, paragraph by paragraph, of the writing itself. Who is this Angela Pelster and where has she been all our lives? Lawrence Weschler Angela Pelsters startling essay collection charts the worlds history through its trees: roots in the ground, rings across wood, and inevitable decay. These sharp and tender essays move from her childhood in rural Canada surrounded by skinny poplar trees in her backyard to a desert in Niger, where the Loneliest Tree in the World once grew. A squirrels decomposing body below a towering maple prompts a discussion of the science of rot, as well as a metaphor for the ways in which nature programs us to consume ourselves. Beautiful, deeply thoughtful, and wholly original, Limber valiantly asks what it means to sustain life on this planet weve inherited. Angela Pelsters essays have appeared in Granta, the Gettysburg Review, Seneca Review, the Globe and Mail, Relief Magazine, and others. Her childrens novel The Curious Adventures of India Sophia won the Golden Eagle Childrens Choice award in 2006. She has an MFA from the University of Iowas nonction writing program and lives with her family in Baltimore, Maryland, where she teaches at Towson University.
A startling, lyrical essay collection focused on trees. Limber moves from the authors childhood in rural Canada to Niger, the Philippines, and Greece.

Winner of the 2011 Prix RTL-Lire and the 2010 Prix Jean-Jacques Rousseau. Silas Fortune is a book of our time. It consists of stories that are extraordinary, beautiful, inspiring, sad, or painful and rendered with a felicity of writing that is to be greatly admired.Lire One of the jewels of this years literary output, Silas Fortune is an amazing immersion into the world of bling and money.LExpress Paris, June 1995. At an exclusive restaurant, a waitera young immigrant named Silais violently attacked by one of the wealthy diners. No one moves. Not the expensively dressed Russian couple, not the two young traders come to celebrate their rst jobs on the oor. Not even the wife of the aggressor. All actions have consequences, and the brutality, indierence, or cowardice of those present on that day at the restaurant signals the beginning of their individual undoing. From the fall of the Berlin Wall to the nancial crash of 2008, the crossed destinies of the witnesses weave a complex web of human tragedy across the decades. And at the center of it all is Sila. But in a society blinded by its own greed, is his refusal to be made a victim a heroic act of deance, or a futile last cry no one will hear? Fabrice Humbert teaches literature in a French-German lyce near Paris. His previous novel The Origin of Violence won the rst ever French Prix Orange and the Prix Renaudot for best paperback.

A lovely smooth read.The Washington Post A witty, aectionately nostalgic masterpiece.The Columbus Dispatch As absorbingly readable, as well-written as anything Peter Dickinson has written.The Times Literary Supplement Praise for Peter Dickinsons mysteries: The works of British Mystery Writer Peter Dickinson are like caviaran acquired taste that can easily lead to addiction. Dickinson . . . does not make much of the process of detection, nor does he specialize in suspense. Instead, he neatly packs his books with such old-fashioned virtues as mood, character, and research.Time Dickinson (author of engagingly obeat thrillers and childrens books) does splendidly here with atmosphere, with the eccentric supporting characters, with the occasionally bizarre comic touches.Kirkus Reviews In 1926 the British government was worried about revolution. Two million people are about to go on strike and class warfare is about to erupt. Tom Hankey is caught between his love for Judy, a bright young thing, and Kate, a reball agitator. Brought home from Oxford by his father, Tom volunteers to drive a train in the General Strike. When the train is ambushed, Tom is thrust into the darkest and most threatening regions of English politics. Gritty yet sparkling and full of unexpected turnarounds, A Summer in the Twenties resonates and captivates. Peter Dickinson has twice received the Crime Writers Associations Gold Dagger. His novels include Death of a Unicorn, The Poison Oracle, and many more. He lives in England and is married to the novelist Robin McKinley.
A young man has to choose who to love, who to leave in the 1926 General Strike in Britain.

Awarded the August Prize for Best Youth Novel. I really loved this bookthe erce and honest testimony of a blazingly creative personality.Elizabeth Wein High school outsider Maja would never hurt herself on purpose as her dad, teachers, and classmates seem to believe. Cant a person saw o the tip of her thumb without everyone starting to worry? That is, everyone except Majas mum, who seems to have disappeared from the face of earth. Crashing a neighbors party, Maja meets twenty-year-old Justin Case, a super-verbal car mechanic with pink pants, who makes her forget everything about absent mothers and sawn-o thumbs, at least temporarily. But then Maja hacks into her fathers e-mail account and reads an e-mail that hurts more than all the electric saws in the world. In this funny and clever coming-of-age novel, seventeen-year-old Maja describes each moment with such bare-bones honesty that one cant help but be drawn into her world. Wise beyond her years yet still surprisingly nave, her story is entertaining and enlightening, at turns both hilarious and bittersweet.

She also works as a consultant with young adults on a long-running psychology program on Swedish national radio. Me on the Floor, Bleeding is her rst novel to be translated into English and has been awarded the coveted August Prize for Best Youth Novel.

Masterful and unforgettable.Pico Iyer Melancholy, singular, exhilarating, Belomor reads like a haunted history of the world.Delia Falconer Belomor resists easy categorisation. Its many characters are elusive, some more types than characters, more mouthpieces than fully rounded individuals. But this does not detract from this beautiful and mesmerising book, which engages the intellect as well as the emotions.Weekend Australian Elegiac and seductive, Belomor is the frontier where truth and invention meet where fragments from distant lives intermingle, and cohere. A man seeks out the father gure who shaped his picture of the past. A painter seeks redemption after the disasters of his years in northern Australia. A student of history travels into the depths of religion, the better to escape the demons in his mind. A lmmaker seeks out freedom and open space, and looks into the murk and sediment of herself. Four chapters: four journeys through life, separate, yet interwoven as the narrative unfolds. In this entrancing new book from one of Australias most original writers, we meet European dissidents from the age of postwar communism, artists in the outback, snake hunters, opal miners, and desert magic healers. Belomor is a meditation on time and loss: on how the most bitter recollections bring happiness, and the meaning of a secret rests in the thoughts surrounding it. Nicolas Rothwell is the award-winning author of Heaven and Earth, Wings of the Kite-Hawk, Another Country, The Red Highway, and Journeys to the Interior. He lives in Darwin, Northern Territory, and is the Australian newspapers roving northern correspondent.
A spellbinding meditation on art and life that travels from Europe to Northern Australia, from WWII to the present.

Wickedly clever . . . Ruhls unique, breezily elegant dialogue is fully present, as is her pleasingly loopy logic.Variety In the smart, rollicking Stage Kiss . . . passion and delity engage in a kind of elegant pas de deux. . . . The play manages to be both wholly original and instantly recognizable . . . with its combination of hilarity and trenchancy. The New Yorker Award-winning playwright Sarah Ruhl brings her unique mix of lyricism, sparkling humor, and erce intelligence to her new romantic comedy, Stage Kiss. When estranged lovers He and She are thrown together as romantic leads in a long-forgotten 1930s melodrama, the line between o-stage and on-stage begins to blur. A knockabout farce that channels Nol Coward and Michael Frayn (Chicago Tribune), Stage Kiss is a thoughtful and clever examination of the dierence between youthful lust and respectful love. Ruhl, one of Americas most frequently produced playwrights, proves that a kiss is not just a kiss in this whirlwind romantic comedy, which will receive its New York premiere at Playwrights Horizons in winter 2014. Sarah Ruhls other plays include the Pulitzer Prize nalists In the Next Room (or the vibrator play) and The Clean House, as well as Passion Play, Dead Mans Cell Phone, Demeter in the City, Eurydice, Melancholy Play, and Late: a cowboy song. She is the recipient of a Whiting Writers Award, a PEN/Laura Pels Award, and a MacArthur Fellowship. Her plays have premiered on Broadway, O-Broadway, and have been produced in many theaters around the world.
An enchanting new comedy by Pulitzer Prize finalist Sarah Ruhl.

Lee purchases our hearts with her braverys own coin.Time Out New York Inspired by her personal experiences with despair and loneliness, the Obie Awardwinning playwright-provocateur and her band Future Wife create a life-arming show that anyone can perform, about the one thing everyone has in common: were all gonna die.

Will Eno is one of the nest younger playwrights I have come across in a number of years. His work is inventive, disciplined, and, at the same time, wild and evocative. His ear is splendid and his mind is agile.Edward Albee Mr. Eno has studied the play closely, and the marvel of his new version is how closely it tracks the original while also being, at every moment and unmistakably, a Will Eno play. . . . Mr. Eno has brought down from its dizzying heights a surprisingly crowd-pleasing (if still strange) work.The New York Times Watch closely as Peter Gnit, a funny-enough but so-so specimen of humanity, makes a lifetime of bad decisions on the search for his True Self, which is disintegrating while he searches.

Will Enos plays include Title and Deed and The Realistic Joneses (both listed in the New York Timess Best Plays of 2012), Middletown (Horton Foote Prize for Promising New American Play), Thom Pain (based on nothing) (Pulitzer Prize nalist), and The Flu Season (Oppenheimer Award).

The boys howled. In their pockets, eye droppers of gin. They skipped to their car with eyes wide open and sped into the night, down gray county roads, grieving over nothing they could name, beating the dashboard with their sts. Near dawn they broke into a cemetery and pissed on the rst angel they could nd. Leahs little brother, Jacob, disappeared when the pair were younger, a tragedy that haunts her still. When a grown man arrives at the non-prot Leah directs claiming to be Jacob, she is wrenched back to her childhood, an iridescent tableau of family joy and strife, swimming at the lake, sneaking candy, late-night fears, and the stories told to quell them. Ancient Oceans of Central Kentucky is a wrecking-ball of a novel that attempts to give meaning and poetry to everything that comprises small-town life in central Kentucky. Listen: they are the ghost stories that children tell one another, the litter that skirts the gulley, the lines at department stores. Ancient Oceans of Central Kentucky reads as though Anne Carson and Maggie Nelson wrote a more focused Antwerp and based it in central Kentucky. A gorgeous, haunting, prismatic jewel of a book. David Connerley Nahm was born and raised in a small town in central Kentucky. Currently, he lives in the mountains of Virginia where he practices law and teaches law and literature at James Madison University. His short stories have appeared in Lady Churchills Rosebud Wristlet, Trunk Stories, Eyeshot, and on McSweeneys Internet Tendency.
A jaw-droppingly gorgeous, mysterious, and lyric exploration of childhood, personal loss, ghost stories, and small-town life in rural Kentucky.

From Nathan Knapps Real Life in the Heady Days of Dial-Up: We judge our adolescent selves because experience has given us the privilege of knowing that the world doesnt have to end when our rst girlfriend or boyfriend breaks up with us. Experience gives us the knowledge that there are much worse fears ahead. But the privilege of experience is still privilege, and the coruscating light that it shines on the miseries of our adolescences is often as false as it is true. From Ruth Gila Bergers Now. Here. Crazy. But Still.: Consider the slinky. Used for divination its a pretty accurate predictor of how fucked up interpersonal expectations can play out end over end to the bottom. Consider the slinky a self-fullling prophecy. It doesnt do all that much as a toy. Bling, bling, bling. Down the stairs a couple times and you lose interest. Give it rainbow colors and maybe each moment it looks dierent. But the slinky falls end over end to its conclusion. Volume 4 of Frequencies picks up where previous issues have left o, with artful essays that challenge the current nonction prescription. Charles Hastings, Jr., reports on factory work-a-day life in Alabama, Nathan Knapp reects on teenage romance in the days of dial-up, and Ruth Gila Berger writes about the evolution of life plans and the shaping a new American family. Plus: Nicholas Rombes tackles the wave of violent nineteenth-century ction, new work from Erick Lyle, and more!
Coming of age in the heady days of dial-up! Violent nineteenth-century ction! Family strife! Searching for noble toil!

Reality may be stranger than ction, but Michael Earl Craigs poems make a laudable eort to even the score. Quite possibly the funniest poet writing today, Craigs unadorned poetry tends toward the deadpan and the obeat, with an almost David Lynch-like sense of the uncanny.The Believer I like being in the world of Michael Craigs poems. Anything can happen, and probably will, and it will aect me in small or large ways that I couldnt have imagined. The precision of their imagery keeps me reeling with delight. James Tate Michael Earl Craig furthers his existential, Lynchian leanings with masterfully composed new poems. He has borrowed the everyday and returned it defamiliarized, dark, and droll. Readers are ushered out of their contemporary bustle and into the intimate viewing room that is Craigs cinematic fourth collection. Wild for the Lord Someone is sitting on a tall stool before me. I have just very carefully cut my best friends wifes bangs. My watch feels like a small corpse on my wrist tonight. Michael Earl Craig is the author of Thin Kimono, Yes, Master, Can You Relax in My House, and the chapbook Jombang Jet. He lives in the Shields Valley, near Livingston, Montana.
Talkativeness is yet another uncanny whistling choir in a reective and engaging world all Michael Earl Craigs own.
