Are You Sad, Little Bear?
A Book About Learning to Say Goodbye
Rachel Rivett
Illustrations by Tina Macnaughton
Little Bear’s friends help him understand what it means
to say goodbye.
Grandmother Bear has gone forever, and Little Bear is feel-
ing sad. His mother wisely suggests that perhaps asking his
woodland companions what saying goodbye means to them
will help him understand his loss. Little Bear’s day of ex-
ploring and asking questions brings him comfort and
hope. For the swallows, saying goodbye means flying to
warmer lands; for the leaves of the trees it is a chance to
be free, leaving the tree at her most beautiful; for the moon
it is to return to be with the Sun; and for the Sun it is to
rise in another sky; and just because Little Bear can’t see
him doesn’t mean he isn’t there. This charmingly illustrated
book will help young children in times of bereavement, loss,
or change, gently exploring the reasons for saying goodbye
and giving reassurance that goodbye doesn’t mean the end
of things. Rachel Rivett is the author of Little Grey and the
Great Mystery. Tina McNaughton is the author of My First
Valentine’s Day Book.

Scratch Kitten Goes to Sea

Tired of life on the docks, Scratch Kitten runs away to sea, keen to make a name
for himself as a brave ship’s cat—and that’s the start of this new series of Scratch’s
sailing ship adventures, complete with a glossary of words sailors use!
“The author makes her point about friendship without ever becoming didactic,
and her thoroughly delightful look at universal middle-grade concerns will
work equally well for reading aloud or reading alone.” —Booklist on Diary
of a Would-Be Princess
Once Scratch has stowed away on the Silk ’n’ Spice, a sailing ship bound for the
South Seas, he discovers that life on the ocean waves is harder than he thought. Scratch
quickly learns he must earn his keep to avoid being thrown overboard, and he thinks
the best way to do this is to befriend the ship’s cook, Pegleg. The only problem is
that Pegleg doesn’t seem to like Scratch very much! How will Scratch and Pegleg
fare when they are set adrift in a lifeboat to await capture by pirates?

ideas? How can you make your writing better? and What can you do if you
get stuck? This guide will bring out the best in all young writers, with sug-
gestions from the practical—buy a new journal, dust off your diary, find a
favorite pen—to the poetic—write hard and fast into the wild land of your
imagination. Brigid Lowry is the author of Follow the Blue, Guitar Highway

The Worlds of John Ruskin

Kevin Jackson
The life and work of one of history’s most noted artists and critics, including
the social, economic, and aesthetic impact of his work.
John Ruskin (1819–1900) is best known as perhaps the most influential art critic
ever to have lived. His interests ranged far wider than just art—he wrote on edu-
cation, nature, architecture, history, aesthetics, economics, and the creation of true
wealth. His impassioned critiques have become even more relevant today, as eco-
nomic and environmental crises make the creation of a just society increasingly
important and difficult. This comprehensive biography explores both the life and
thought of Ruskin, situating him in the social, economic, and aesthetic world that
he transformed. Illustrated with Ruskin’s own paintings and photographs, this is
an intriguing look at a man whose mind and thoughts continue to influence even
today. Kevin Jackson is a former lecturer at Oklahoma State University and Van-
derbilt University and the author of A Ruskin Alphabet and Invisible Forms.

A Beer a Day
366 Beers to Help You Through the Year
Jeff Evans
A beer book with a difference, this guide offers 366 beers
from all over the world—one for every day of the year.
Winner of the Coors Brewers National
Journalism Award
No ordinary collection of must-taste beers, A Beer a Day looks
to unearth the links between beer and the world we live in—
our history, traditions, customs, and culture. Readers are
guided through the maze of labels, selecting beers that don’t
just taste great but also have a story to tell. The simple page-
a-day diary format includes an easy reference for the beer, its
country of origin, the day’s date, and its linked event. For each
day, a beer is recommended that draws attention to events
that have taken place or that still take place on that day. From
seasonal beers produced to celebrate such occasions as
Valentine’s Day and Halloween, to those honoring the good
and the great from history, A Beer a Day has a beer for every
story and a story for every beer. Jeff Evans is an internationally
renowned beer writer. He is the author of The Book of Beer
Knowledge and The Good Bottled Beer Guide, a resident beer
taster for both All About Beer and Beers of the World mag-
azines, and was judged “Beer Writer of the Year” by the British
Guild of Beer Writers.

HESPERUS CLASSICS
How to Mix Drinks or The Bon Vivant’s Companion

The Original Cocktail Guide
Jerry Thomas
Calling all swells, sophisticates, and men about town—learn the French method of serv-
ing absinthe as well as the proper way to make Spread Eagle Punch in this classic re-
production of the first official, published cocktail guide in the U.S., written by the father
of bartending.
First published in 1862, this seminal work in bartending marks the first time many of today’s
classics were recorded in print. Collected here by Jerry Thomas—America’s most famous
bartender—are dozens of cocktail recipes, from old standards to mixes invented by Thomas
himself, including his trademark drink, The Blue Blazer. Guides for mixing drinks of all
categories—including sours, fizzes, and highballs—are included along with instructions on
using various bartending tools, from jiggers to ponies and beyond. With a glossary to help
all bon vivants remember their demijohns from their drachms, this is a nostalgic and deli-
cious homage to a drinking era that is gone but not forgotten. Jerry Thomas (1830–1885)
is considered “the father of American mixology” because of his pioneering work in popu-
larizing cocktails and in establishing showmanship and creativity as part of bartending.

Gordon Ramsay
On Top of the World
Neil Simpson
A fascinating picture of Hell’s Kitchen’s fiery-tempered perfectionist.
“It may just turn out to be the brightest spot during the dark days of winter. I highly
recommend it.” —Missoulian
Gordon Ramsay owns more than 20 international restaurants, including
Gordon Ramsay at The London in New York City; Maze by Gordon Ramsay at
The London in New York City; Cielo by Angela Hartnett in Boca Raton, Florida;
and Gordon Ramsay at The London in West Hollywood, California
Best known as the host of Fox’s Hell’s Kitchen and Kitchen Nightmares, Gordon Ramsay is
one of the most driven, successful, and irate chefs around. He has thrown Hollywood actresses
out of his restaurants and is notorious for his anger, but his food has been served to numer-
ous heads of state, and he is one of only three chefs in England whose restau-
rant is rated at three Michelin stars. In this illuminating work, Ramsay
discusses the violent, alcoholic, absent father who died just days after the
pair had been reconciled as adults; the best friend and protégé whose bizarre
suicide came hours after the two had shared a final meal; the decade-long
battle to save his younger brother from heroin addiction and crime; and the
real reason why he has not attended the birth of any of his four children.
Sometimes hilarious and frequently heartbreaking, this is Gordon Ramsay’s
full life, from tenements and poverty to top-notch restaurants and fame.

Cuisine du Moi
The Heart of My Passion
Gavin Canardeaux
A hilarious satire of the cult of celebrity chefs in the style of Anthony Bourdain, featuring
the Australian-born, English-educated, French-trained, and Thai-massaged Gavin Canardeaux.
“Canardeaux’s voice is so authentic—a cross between Jamie Oliver and Gordon Ramsay,
liberally doused with the F-word (not food)—that we almost forget that Canaider is the
one skillfully concocting this amuse-bouché. I would perhaps just caution readers to add
a grain of salt, or two.” —M Review
Honorary Governor of the Stationary Food Movement, Consultant Chef de Chef to the United
Nations, patron of the Canardeaux Foundation for Children Without Seafood, and commit-
ted Awareness Band Wearer, Gavin Canardeaux is the crème de la crème of the cooking world.
Dividing his precious time between London, Sydney, and New York, his wife and girlfriends
and horses, his classic car collection, and his children, Gavin also manages to run his restau-
rant, Cuisine du Moi, largely via videoconference. More than a cookbook, this is Gavin’s
philosophy and way of life, and is packed with his insights, thoughts, and half-crazed theo-
ries. Bitingly hilarious and darkly delicious, this is a dead-on lampoon of today’s most infa-
mous celebrity chefs. Gavin Canardeaux is the alter ego of Ben Canaider, a wine writer and
the coauthor of Cooking Under the Infleunce and Drink Drank Drunk.

Clicker Training for Clever Cats
Learning Can Be Fun!
Martina Braun
Resolve your cat’s problems, eliminate bad behavior, and even teach small tricks with
clicker training using rewards.
There is a method of learning to which no mammal is impervi-
ous—not even cats. It is called “classical conditioning,” and is used
in a very specific way as part of clicker training. Every click re-
sults in something positive for the cat: a treat, a cuddle, a favorite
game. Because cats are intelligent, they quickly understand what
kind of behavior gets them a click and a reward, and they will
experiment in order to find out what else might work. This man-
ual explains what classical conditioning involves, why it works
with every cat, how to avoid mistakes, and how to use rewards
properly and develop chains and sequences of behavior, as well
as small tricks. Martina Braun is an animal psychologist special-
izing in behavioral therapy for cats and dogs.

Lessons in Cat Conversation
Martina Braun
Find out what your little tiger is really saying with its many different sounds, facial
expressions, gestures, posture, and behavioral quirks.
Cat language is both complex and multifaceted—cats do much more than just meow, hiss,
and purr. The whole range of cat sounds are covered, from purring to wailing, and how
they relate to the ways that cats live and socialize. The territory of outdoor and indoor
cats, conflict behavior under stress, and play behavior and hunting for prey is also cov-
ered. Once you understand your cat better, you can get to grips with some of the typical
problems of living together, and develop an even closer bond with your pet. Martina Braun
is an animal psychologist specializing in behavioral therapy for cats and dogs.

Line Training for Dogs
How It’s Done
Monika Gutmann
Step-by-step guidance to a method offering dogs freedom to roam and owners assur-
ance of their pet’s secure return.
Unless they’re on a lead, many dogs refuse to come back to their owners, and simply do
as they please. Dogs like these commonly spend their lives on leads that are much too short,

not many people know how it’s done. This guide provides the step-by-step instructions for
successful line training. Monika Gutmann runs a dog training school focusing on training

Schooling Exercises In-Hand
Working Towards Suppleness and Confidence
Oliver Hilberger
A step-by-step explanation, with clear illustrations, of the straightforward way to cor-
rectly train horses, working from the ground.
For anyone training a horse in dressage, classically based in-hand work is a valuable but
unfortunately often undervalued part of its education. It is a rarely used tool, but one which
offers variation to the everyday routine and schools both the horse and trainer. Particular
emphasis is given to the description of lateral movements, as well as for the preparation
towards the more advanced movements. Oliver Hilberger works with horses following the
principles of classical riding. He places great value on making meaningful supplying ex-
ercises accessible to anyone wishing to try them.

as the time he devotes to his charitable foundation, have won him huge
amounts of respect from his fellow sportsmen and tennis professionals alike.

Occy
The Rise and Fall and Rise of Mark Occhilupo
Mark Occhilupo and Tim Baker
Covering his early success through his collapse into drugs and subsequent renewed ascent
to stardom, the life of one of the world’s greatest and most controversial surfers.
“Occy was always a missile going hyperspeed, about to blow up at any moment—it’s
true of so many highly intelligent or gifted people . . . All of his passion was put into his
surfing.” —Kelly Slater, nine-time World Surfing Champion
Child star at 16, ranked third in the world at 17, Mark Occhilupo looked set to sweep all be-
fore him with a radical, spontaneous, irresistible brand of surfing. Yet a spiraling descent into
drug abuse and depression snuffed his flame out prematurely when he quit the pro tour at
just 22. Faltered comebacks, spectacular bursts of free-surfing, and manic breakdowns fol-
lowed as the surfing world watched a freakish talent self-combust. After years spent immo-
bile and overweight on the couch, Occy eventually emerged from his cocoon, reborn and ready
to tackle a whole new generation of surf stars. His celebrated comeback to win the world
title in 1999 is a sporting fairy tale without equal. In this no-holds-barred account, Occy tells
the complete, remarkable story of his spectacular rise, terrifying fall, and miraculous rebirth.
Tim Baker has contributed to GQ, Playboy, and Rolling Stone and is the author of Go Surf

Lewis Hamilton: Champion of the World

The Biography
Frank Worrall
Detailed and fully updated, this biography explains how Hamilton has risen above his crit-
ics, brushed aside racial abuse, kept his dignity, and fought with a quiet determination to
become the greatest driver in the world.
In the nail-biting Brazilian Grand Prix in November 2008, Lewis Hamilton clinched his po-
sition as the youngest-ever winner of the Formula One World Championship. A truly remarkable
sporting figure who has revolutionized the world of motor racing, his rise through the ranks—
from karting to the hotly contested F3 Superprix and onto the F1 podium—has not been straight-
forward. His career began when he was just six years old when his father—holding down
three jobs to support his son’s blossoming sport—bought him his first go-
cart. The breakthrough came when 10-year-old Lewis met McLaren boss Ron
Dennis at an awards ceremony. Two years later, Lewis was signed to McLaren’s
development program. This book offers behind-the-scenes insight into the
intense rivalry between Hamilton and teammate Fernando Alonso that threat-
ened to derail Hamilton’s dreams, as well as the low-down on the spy-gate
scandal. It also discusses Hamilton’s ability to handle the intensity of media
coverage and keep his dignity to emerge as the world’s top driver. Frank Wor-
rall is the author of numerous sports books, including The Magnificent Sev-
ens, Rooney, and Roy Keane.

Jarad Henry
Brilliantly plotted, an accomplished and gripping crime novel featuring a hard-nosed
detective and a death that was anything but accidental.
“Jarad Henry has redefined ‘dangerous,’ and it lurks on the brooding Melbourne
streets—full of gangsters, drug dealers, and alley crawlers.” —Crime Down Under
When a young runaway is found dead one morning, a syringe hanging out of his arm, no
one is terribly shocked. A known junkie, even local detective Rubens McCauley is quick to
conclude that Dallas Boyd died of an accidental overdose. But anomalies in the boy’s death—
and the haunting memory of a childhood friend—continue to nag at McCauley. Unable to
shake his unease, he soon digs deeper into the case and finds himself enmeshed in a secret
network of pedophiles, child abusers, and underage prostitutes. Forced to look evil in the
eye, McCauley must conquer his own demons as he battles to find justice for a young boy
he never even met. Jarad Henry is the author of Head Shot.

Detective Inspector Grace Daniels has just been assigned the biggest case of her career,
but it quickly begins to ravel out of control, with potentially deadly results.
The author is currently collaborating with the BBC on a series of scripts
based on characters in The Editor
Grace Daniels is a career cop, a dedicated, single-minded DI in the murder squad. Unim-
peded by any personal relationships, she commands the respect and loyalty of her team
and seems destined to break through the glass ceiling of the force. Yet her life is shadowed
by the recent death of her mother, her estrangement from her father, and her failure to
solve what appears to be a ritual double murder in the parish church of the sleepy village
where she grew up. Meanwhile, a prominent businessman is found with his brains spat-
tered over the furnishings of his luxury apartment, and Grace is assigned to the high-
profile case as Senior Investigating Officer. But there’s a catch: she knows the victim
personally, and though she ought to disclose the connection to her boss, she remains silent.
As the investigation is underway, it is soon revealed that there is a mole in Grace’s team,
someone working to undermine and discredit her at every opportunity. As the truth emerges
it becomes clear that Grace is far more vulnerable than she appears and is mired in the
kind of trouble that could deprive her of much more than just her job. Mari Hannah is a
former psychotherapeutic counselor for prisoners.

Vodka Doesn’t Freeze

Sergeant Jill Jackson must decide which is the greater threat: a serial killer or an elu-
sive ring of sex offenders.
“Particularly nasty crime fiction that threatens to keep you awake at night can al-
ways be dismissed with . . . ‘It’s only make-believe.’ No such comfort with a debut
book by Leah Giarratano.” —Sunday Telegraph
When a middle-aged man is brutally murdered in the hills overlooking a children’s pool,
it is immediately clear to Sergeant Jill Jackson that someone has stopped a dangerous pe-
dophile in his tracks. Jill is at first ambivalent about pursuing the killer, but when more
men die—all of them known to police as child sex offenders—she is forced to admit that
a serial killer is on the loose. As the investigation deepens, Jill unearths a long-established
pedophile ring, a club of wealthy men who have thought until now that that they were
untouchable. As she faces predators and their victims, a psychotherapist losing her mind,
and her own nightmares come to life, Jill is forced to decide whether or not she really wants
to catch this killer.

“Compelling from the opening word . . . an excellent second novel, another strong
psychological thriller that reveals its strength in the exploration of the damaged
mind. Whether it be abuse from childhood or trauma stemming from the horrors of
war or loss of a loved one, Voodoo Doll covers them all, resulting in a power-packed
story.” —Crime Down Under
“Vodka Doesn't Freeze was an exceptional first novel, but Voodoo Doll surpasses
it.” —Murder and Mayhem
A year after the death of the man who abducted her, Sergeant Jill Jackson has been pro-
moted and is stronger than she’s been in years. With the promotion comes a transfer to a
task force targeting gang-related home invasions, a new partner, and some of the grisliest
cases Jill has ever encountered. The gang is believed to be responsible for at least five bru-
tal home invasions over the past two months, the most recent culminating in a vicious ma-
chete attack that left one of the victims crippled. When the violence escalates to murder,
Jill suddenly finds herself hunting a psychopath in a race against time.

Sherlock Holmes in Russia
Translated by Alex Auswaks
Introduction by George Piliev
Whether it be the ingenious Railroad Thieves or the grim story of The Strangler, these
gripping tales will delight every fan of Sherlock Holmes.
Thanks to the Sherlockian historian George Piliev and translator Alex Auswaks, this remarkable
collection of seven Russian Sherlock Holmes stories is now available in English for the first
time. Piliev tells the fascinating story of how these tales came to be written, in the context
of the Sherlockian phenomenon in Russia. He explains how Holmes reached an even greater
audience when Russian writers decided to transport him and Watson from Baker Street to
Russia, on the premise that they traveled widely in the country and became fluent in the lan-
guage. Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson traveled the length of Russia solving the most dif-
ficult and unimaginable cases and pursued all the while by an implacable Russian Moriarty.
Instead of mainly dealing with murders, these stories are more diverse, covering kidnapping,
a strange problem in a shop, theft, and corruption. Alex Auswaks’ novel A Trick of Diamonds
was short-listed for a British Crime Writers Association Award.

62 Great Books from the Iliad to Midnight’s Children
Jane Gleeson-White
From J. K. Rowling’s love of Jane Austen to J. M. Coetzee, whose “top 10” includes
Cervantes and Samuel Beckett, this irresistible companion for all passionate readers
explores why “the canon” is for everyone.
“What makes a classic? For me, it’s a book I can’t imagine having lived without;
a truthful, wholly imagined world, in astonishing language, by a writer unafraid
to probe those things that scare us and scar us and make us human.”
—Charlotte Wood, author, The Submerged Cathedral
Mark Twain defined a literary classic as “something that everybody wants to have read and
nobody wants to read.” But what was true in the 19th century doesn’t hold true today. In our
uncertain modern times, not only do books considered classics still fill the shelves of many book-
shops, but these books continue to exert a powerful influence on contemporary culture—some
in obvious ways, such as the film and television adaptations of the works of Homer, Jane Austen,
George Eliot, Charles Dickens, and Henry James; other in less obvious ways, through their en-
during impact on fellow writers, artists, and musicians. Offering many great contemporary au-
thors’ lists of their favorite classics, this accessible, impassioned, and inspiring guide to the great
books of the past and why they still matter will be eagerly embraced and discussed by pas-
sionate and grateful readers. Jane Gleeson-White is a freelance book editor, writer, and reviewer.

A Dark Stranger
Julien Gracq
Translated by Christopher Moncreiff
A new translation of a modern classic from the author whom Nicholas Sarkozy, called
one of the greatest French writers of the 20th century.
“Gracq’s position in modern French literature rests on his remarkable prose.

He was one of the great stylists of his century, a writer with a carnal relation to
words, capable of extraordinary and hallucinatory evocative power.” —Times
“They are singular achievements: disturbing, delicate and written in a classical style
that is endlessly sensuous and inviting.” —Los Angeles Times on Gracq’s novels
Two lovers arrive at a seaside hotel in 1920s Brittany. The other guests soon become
obsessed with the man, the equivocal unsettling Allan. One by one they realize who he
is—that death has come to spend the summer with them. Amid the ceaseless thunder of
the waves, the wild and often surreal Breton landscape, the group that gravitates around
Allan—an uncannily contemporary figure—gradually disintegrates. His death seems to
symbolize the end of a generation, the approach of war. That Gracq wrote this oblique,
prescient novel in a remote German prisoner-of-war camp makes its carefree jazz age
setting particularly poignant. Staunchly avoiding the French literary scene—he refused
the Prix Goncourt in 1951—Julien Gracq (1910–2007) is one of the few authors to be
published in the Pléiade during his lifetime.

Fists
Pietro Grossi
Translated by Howard Curtis
In the first English translation of an important new generation Italian author, three short
stories of everyday life present characters bound together by fate and struggling to find a
meaning in human existence.
Three stories present three portraits of young men learning the realities of adult life. Boxing
takes us into the world of gyms, a world of bodies and nerves stretched to the limit, of sac-
rifice and challenge. Two young men confront each other in the fight of their lives: one of
them is well-to-do, a model student whose his skills have never been put to the test; the other,
although poor and deaf, is stubborn, determined, and wins fights easily. Now they face the
ultimate test—the encounter on which not only their present but also their future depends.
Horses presents into the wide open spaces of the countryside. Here, two brothers, both given
horses by their father, confront each other sensing that two different destinies are opening up
for them. The Monkey is about the fragility of identity, the desire to escape it and disappear.
When Nico discovers that his boyhood friend Piero has made the sudden, shocking decision
to become a monkey, he is led to question the basis on which he has lived his own life. Fists
is Pietro Grossi’s second book for which he won the Premio Cocito Monta d’Alba prize. Howard
Curtis is a recipient of the John Florio Italian Translation Prize of the Translators’ Associa-
tion of Great Britain and has been short-listed for the Independent Foreign Fiction Prize.

Wondrak and Other Stories
Stefan Zweig
These three stories all concern Zweig’s strong antiwar feelings following World War I.
“One hardly knows where to begin in praising Zweig’s work. One gets the im-
pression that he actively preferred to write about women, and about the great
moral crises that send shivers down the spines of polite society.” —Guardian
“In the 1920s and 1930s, Stefan Zweig was one of the most famous writers in
the world. Thanks to the enterprising Pushkin Press, it is now possible to read
the novellas on which his reputation must finally depend.”
—Times Literary Supplement
The artist Ferdinand, central figure of Compulsion, partly reflects Zweig’s own expe-
rience. In the Snow tells of the plight of a group of Jews who freeze to death while
trying to escape a medieval pogrom. In Wondrak, a woman, disfigured since birth,
attempts to save her only child from being drafted into the military. In this newly avail-
able English translation, the reader discovers Zweig’s essential humanist preoccupa-
tions—his compassion toward human suffering, his horror of war and his faith in
idealism, generosity, and love—values that can, in an instant, illuminate an entire ex-
istence. Stefan Zweig (1881–1942) was the author of Amok & Other Stories,
Casanova, Confusion, Fantastic Night & Other Stories, and Twilight.

in Venice, Isabella Stewart Gardner, a passionate art collector with enormous funds,
was as revered and sought after as royalty. Henry James had a real affection for her,
and was inspired by the rich and powerful Mrs. Gardner and her magnificent pearls,
as well as by the Palazzo Barbaro in Venice, for his novel The Wings of the Dove. Mrs.
Gardner was to recreate a larger-than-life version of Palazzo Barbaro in Boston, which
is now the Isabella Gardner Museum. These letters also add another dimension to what
we know of Henry James’s long relationship with Venice and the Palazzo Barbaro. Henry
James (1843–1916) was a voluminous writer best known for such novels as The Bosto-
nians, The Portrait of a Lady, The Turn of the Screw, and Washington Square.

Gulliver’s Travels
Jonathan Swift
Foreword by Jeremy Paxman
Both a parody of traveler’s tales and a satire of human nature, this classic is a brilliant
combination of adventure, hilarity, and philosophy.
Shipwrecked and cast adrift, Lemuel Gulliver wakes to find himself on Lilliput, an island in-
habited by little people, whose height makes their quarrels over fashion and fame seem ridicu-
lous. His subsequent encounters—with the crude giants of Brobdingnag, the philosophical
Houyhnhnms and brutish Yahoos—give Gulliver new insights into human behavior. Swift’s
savage satire views mankind in a distorted hall of mirrors as a diminished, magnified, and
bestial species, presenting us with an uncompromising reflection of ourselves. Jonathan Swift
(1667–1745) was one of the most influential political writers of his time. He is best remem-
bered for Gulliver’s Travels and the political satire A Modest Proposal.

My Name Is Aram
William Saroyan
A classic portrayal of the immigrant experience, this short story collection is a landmark
reprint from a master writer of the 20th century.
First published to international acclaim in 1940, this is a collection of semiautobiographi-
cal stories about a boy of Armenian descent called Aram Garoghlanian and is set in Fresno,
California. The book is like a novel in that the stories all involve the same character and
are placed in a roughly chronological order; the first story takes place when Aram is nine
years old, the last when he is a young man leaving his hometown for the first time. From
bickering grandparents presiding over a family meeting to the time the circus came to town,
each episode vibrates with warmth and humor, building a rich portrait of Aram’s large fam-
ily and of the immigrant experience in general. This utter delight of a book is as easy to read
today as it was when it was published almost 70 years ago. William Saroyan (1908–1981)
was born in California and was of Armenian-American descent. Saroyan’s mixed ancestry
shaped his career as a writer. My Name Is Aram is widely considered his masterwork.

Silas Marner
George Eliot
Foreword by Jane Feaver
First published in 1861, this classic combines humor and rich symbolism with a histori-
cally precise setting to create an extraordinary tale of love and hope.
Falsely accused and cut off from his past, Silas the weaver is reduced to a spider-like exis-
tence, endlessly weaving his web and hoarding his gold. Meanwhile, Godfrey Cass, son of
the squire, contracts a secret marriage. While the village celebrates Christmas and New Year,
two apparently inexplicable events occur. Silas loses his gold and finds a child on his hearth.
The imaginative control George Eliot displays as her narrative gradually reveals causes and
connections has rarely been surpassed. George Eliot (1819–1880) is one of the greatest
English novelists. Her works include Adam Bede, Middlemarch, and The Mill on the Floss.
Jane Feaver is the author of the novel According to Ruth.

Incandescence
Craig Nova
Foreword by William Boyd
Filled with black humor, a gripping story of a bad decision from an acclaimed novelist.
“[Nova’s fiction] is so powerful, so alive, it is a wonder that turning its pages doesn’t
somehow burn one’s hands.” —New York Times
Stargell had it all: a prestigious job at a think tank; a beautiful Greek wife; and money enough
to indulge his expensive tastes. But when he loses his job for using the think tank’s computer
to play the horses, his life starts taking a very definite turn for the worse. Suddenly he’s broke,
his wife is going crazy, and a very determined Lower East Side loan shark has his number. In
the midst of all this danger and chaos, however, the resilient and darkly comic Stargell pushes
his limits while playing it by ear. Stargell is sustained by those rare moments of redeeming grace
when every experience feels vital and valuable, when even in the darkest moments. Craig Nova
is the award-winning author of 11 novels, including Cruisers, The Good Son, and Trombone,
and his writing has appeared in Esquire, Men’s Journal, the New York Times Magazine, and
Paris Review. He lives in Putney, Vermont.

Shirley’s Guild
David Pryce-Jones
Foreword by Julie Myerson
A young girl’s apparent supernatural powers cause a chain of unimaginable events.
In an otherwise quiet village, a little girl with red hair and freckles named Shirley inspires a
chain of events that cannot be explained by reason or scientific enquiry. Parents, friends, and
neighbors are convinced by Shirley—often in spite of themselves—until everyone is swept away
into a belief in the child’s miraculous power. The founding of Shirley’s Guild, designed to sup-
port the young girl, prompts a crusade as well as a national scandal, and Shirley’s godmother—
the girl’s chief interpreter and witness—becomes responsible for scenes unimaginable since the
Dark Ages. This striking novel offers an insight into the human need for beliefs and causes,
however irrational. David Pryce-Jones is the author of nine novels, including Safe Houses and
You Can’t Be too Careful, as well as several works of nonfiction, among them Betrayal and The
Closed Circle.

Canterbury Tales
Geoffrey Chaucer
Translated by Christopher Lauer
A selection of the most beloved of Chaucer’s famous tales, featuring a lively and acces-
sible new translation.
Unfinished at the time of Chaucer’s death, this inimitable collection of fables, romances, and
sermons has ingrained itself in the English imagination. As a motley crowd of pilgrims—

rated with a vast variety of tones and featuring themes ranging from the Knight’s traditional
tale of courtly romance to the bawdy wit of the Wife of Bath, the tales form a varied patch-
work of English life with echoes of classical and medieval literature. This thoroughly edited
and extensively annotated edition contains a selection of the most popular tales. Geoffrey
Chaucer (1343–c1400) is known as the father of English literature for his use of the

his impending doom. This edition also includes the companion pieces “A Comedy about a

A bittersweet tragedy, set in rural Sweden, of two young lovers kept apart by a family feud.

Set against the beautiful backdrop of the Vosges Mountains, this chilling novella tells the
tale of the real-life writer J. M. R. Lenz’s 19-day stay in Waldersbach in 1778. It describes

ing exploration of paranoid schizophrenia and an influential forerunner of literary mod-

Translated by Leopold von Loewenstein-Wertheim
A deal with the devil goes fantastically awry with a bevy of unforeseen consequences.

Unsuccessful in his ambitions, the young and naive Peter Schlemihl seals a pact with the Devil in
which he exchanges his shadow for the purse of Fortunatus, thereby gaining everlasting riches.
But when he is ridiculed, persecuted, and hated for being different from other men, he realizes
that poverty is easier to bear than the loss of his peace of mind. Originally written as a
cautionary tale for the children of Chamisso’s patron, this amusing and poignant tale was hailed
by contemporaries as a masterpiece with a wide adult appeal. Adelbert von Chamisso (1781–1838)
was a writer whose family was driven from France to Germany after the French Revolution.

disappearances, eerie doppelgangers and grizzly discoveries, as well as a famously ambiguous
climax. Annette von Droste-Hülshoff (1797–1848) was a German poet and author.

Translated by Hugh Aplin
A new translation of Nobel Prize–winner Ivan Bunin’s first novel.
“An astonishing writer whose work cries out for rediscovery.” —New York Sun
Set during the 1905 Revolution in southwest Russia, this is a bleak and uncompromising
portrayal of the lives of two peasant brothers, “characters sunk so far below the average of in-
telligence as to be scarcely human.” With brutal honesty it reveals the pettiness, violence, and
ignorance of rural farm life. At once nostalgic for a bygone, more innocent age and foreshad-
owing the turbulences of the 20th century, this wrenching novel is a triumph of bitter realism.
Ivan Bunin (1870–1953) was the first Russian writer to win the Nobel Prize for Literature and
is best known for his short stories and novellas. Hugh Aplin previously translated Bunin’s Dark
Avenues as well as works by Mikhail Bulgakov, Fyodor Dostoevsky, and Mikhail Kuzmin.

Mozart’s Journey to Prague

Eduard Mörike
Translated by Leopold von Loewenstein-Wertheim
A fictional account of a day in the life of one of history’s most famed composers.
“A masterpiece in European literature, a novella to set beside Thomas Mann’s Death

in Venice or Tolstoy’s Kreutzer Sonata.” —Observer
While on a journey to Praguewith his wife for the opening night of Don Giovanni, Mozart
is caught picking an orange on the grounds of a stately home. But when the resident
family finds out who they are dealing with, they are delighted to be in the presence of the
celebrated composer and invite him to their daughter’s wedding. This vivid and imaginative
depiction captures both the humorous and the more pensive side of the genius composer.
Eduard Mörike (1804–1875) is best known for his poetry and novellas, among them The
Painter Nolten.

The Three-Cornered Hat

Pedro Antonio de Alarcón
Translated by H. F. Turneri
The hilarious story of accused cuckoldry that inspired the ballet of the same name.
“Alarcón’s style was original and charming. He is in the first rank of literary men
in Spain.” —New York Times
Based on a famous Spanish folk tale, this romping novella recounts the tribulations of a
lecherous local magistrate as he attempts to have his way with the miller’s beautiful but
devoted wife, with unforeseen and hilarious consequences. A unique blend of slapstick and
comedy of manners, this sharp satire on the corruption of rural officials and the politics of
lust and seduction provides timeless entertainment. Pedro Antonio de Alarcón (1833–1891)
is chiefly remembered for his subtly ironic plots and quintessentially Spanish settings and
characterizations.

A Hero of Our Time

Mikhail Lermontov
Translated by Martin Parker and Neil Cornwell
A seminal study of the darkest side of Romanticism; also includes the novel fragment
Princess Ligovskaya.
“Galloping new translation.” —Independent

Traveling through the wilds of the Caucasian Mountains, a young man makes the acquain-
tance of Maxim Maximych, an experienced soldier and veritable raconteur. As they take refuge
from the harsh wintry conditions, Maximych begins to tell the scandalous history of his one-
time companion Pechorin, a self-confessed rake. Talented and highly intelligent, Pechorin is
nevertheless weary of the world and all it has to offer. Cynical in the extreme, he can muster
no other motivation than the avoidance of boredom. To this end, he embarks upon a series
of Byronic exploits. Whether kidnapping the daughter of a local chieftain, organizing a
smuggling ring, fighting duels, toying with fate, or capturing the hearts of beautiful society
women, he remains entirely immune from any depth of emotion. This inspired study of a
man and a society in crisis reveals the archetypal antihero not only of the Russian novel but
of world literature. Mikhail Lermontov (1814–1841) was a Russian writer and poet whose
works include The Demon.

Aphorisms
Napoleon Bonaparte
A riveting collection of Napoleon’s most famous axioms and sayings, as collected by
Honoré de Balzac.
“The arrangement reveals a four-stage progression: from young zealot to military

commander to confused exile to grand old man.” —Times Literary Supplement
Spurred by a lifelong fascination with the Great Emperor, Honoré de Balzac set himself the
painstaking task of collecting Napoleon’s most notable maxims from his public speeches and
contemporary gazettes. Divided into four parts—covering social life, the military arts, the
exercise of power, and the teachings of experience and misfortune—Napoleon’s pithy pills of
wisdom range from Machiavellian to cynical, dry, and even cruel. Together they offer a unique
insight into the mind of a man who prided himself on preferring action over thought and the
sword over the pen, and conjure up one of the most eminent and influential historical figures
of all time.

The Decay of Lying

Oscar Wilde
From the inimitable mind of Oscar Wilde, a captivating dialog on the nature of art.
In the library of a country house, Vivian writes an article about the importance of lying until
he is interrupted by Cyril, who tries to tempt him away. Instead the two men are plunged into
a discussion about art, nature, literature, and imagination. Set in the form of a witty dialogue
between two speakers, this is an in-depth exploration of the relationship between life and art,
as well as an examination of the work of such writers as Shakespeare and Balzac. Oscar Wilde
(1854–1900) was an Irish novelist, poet, and playwright. His best-known works include The
Picture of Dorian Gray and The Importance of Being Earnest.
Lars Porsena
On the Future of Swearing
Robert Graves
A lively defense of colorful language, old and new.
Equal parts history and absurdity, this tongue-in-cheek treatise laments the decline of swear-
ing and foul language in England and looks back with nostalgia at the glory days of oaths and
blasphemies. Written when censorship in England was still in full sway, this was an impassionate
defense of the foul-mouthed in literature and a resounding attack of hypocrisy and Puritanism.
Robert Graves (1895–1985) was an English poet, translator, and novelist. He is best known for
his World War I memoir Goodbye to All That, as well as his numerous historical novels,
including I, Claudius.

The Prince
Niccolò Machiavelli
Translated by J. G. Nichols
From administrating underlings to addressing enemies, an extensive and infamous trea-
tise on governance.
Having spent his entire life in conflict-driven Florence, Niccolò Machiavelli composed this
classic study of power and politics in response to the governmental troubles of his day. Con-
troversial but nonetheless highly influential, this tract has impacted such major figures as
Napoleon, Frederick the Great, and Mussolini. This edition is accompanied by G. W. F. Hegel’s
commentary on Machiavelli in his Constitution of Germany. Niccolò Machiavelli (1469–
1527) was an important figure in the Italian Renaissance best known for his realist politi-
cal philosophy. J. G. Nichols has translated the work of Dante Alighieri, Giacomo Leopardi,
and numerous other Italian authors.

Life of Dante
Giovanni Boccaccio
Translated by Philip Wicksteed
A collection of the earliest accounts of Dante’s life and times, featuring the work of Bruni
and Boccaccio.
Leonardo Bruni’s Life of Dante, extracts from Giovanni Villani’s Florentine Chronicles
and Filippo Villani’s Life of Dante, as well as documents preserved in a manuscript of Boc-
caccio are combined in this impressive volume, and together they provide a wealth of insight
and information into Dante’s unique character and life. They address the author’s suscepti-
bility to the torments of passionate love, his involvement in politics, his scholastic enthusi-
asms, military experience, and the stories behind the greatest heights of his poetic
achievements. Not only are these accounts invaluable for their subject matter, they are also
seminal examples of early biographical writing. Also included in this expansive collection is
a biography of Boccaccio himself. Giovanni Boccaccio (1313–1375) is best known for the
Decameron and for championing the use of the Italian vernacular in literature. Philip Wick-
steed (1844–1927) was a literary critic and medievalist.

Hashish, Wine, Opium

Charles Baudelaire and Théophile Gautier
Translated by Maurice Stang
Enthralling and vivid first hand accounts of the effects of hallucinogens from two of
literature’s most renowned authors.
Among the earliest accounts of hallucinogenic experience in European literature, the four
essays in this volume document Théophile Gautier and Charles Baudelaire’s involvement in
the Hashish Club, which met under the auspices of investigating the psychological and mind-
enhancing effects of various substances. As well as providing an absorbing account of 19th-
century drug use, this volume captures the spirit of French Romanticism in its struggle to
free the mind from the shackles of the humdrum and the conventional. Charles Baudelaire
(1821–1867) was a French writer and translator best known for his poetry collection Flow-
ers of Evil. Théophile Gautier (1811–1872) was an influential French writer whose works
include My Fantoms and The Jinx.

The Art of Sinking in Poetry

Alexander Pope
Featuring Pope’s scathing, unparalleled wit, a sardonic look at the worst aspects of bad
poetry—and how to avoid them.
Written in 1727, this satirical volume was one of Alexander Pope’s contributions to the
literary output of the legendary Scriblerus club, a circle of writers dedicated to mocking what
they perceived as a culture of mediocrity and false learning prevalent in the arts and sciences.
Taking the form of an ironic guide to writing bad verse, Pope’s tongue-in-cheek essay is wickedly
funny in its lampooning of various pompous poetasters, and is essential reading for any bud-
ding writer wishing to avoid sinking to the unintentionally ridiculous and to instead to reach
for the sublime. Several lesser-known pieces by other members of the Scriblerus club are also
included. Alexander Pope (1688–1744) was an English poet, widely regarded as the greatest of
the 18th century, best known for his satirical verse. His other works include The Dunciad, An
Essay on Man, and The Rape of the Lock.

“The Scottish George Best of the literary world.” —Irvine Welsh
First published in 1972, this verse collection ranges over multiple years and includes the lyri-
cism of early love poetry along with reflections on drug culture and penetrating comments

You Remind Me of Marilyn Monroe
Steven Berkoff

From sensuous, stream-of-consciousness declarations of love to brooding meditations
on the wreckage of a relationship, this collection of verse from Steven Berkoff provides

tremely personal themes. The result is a passionate and captivating collection. Steven
Berkoff has appeared in such films as Octopussy and A Clockwork Orange, and is the
author of numerous plays, including Sturm und Drang and The Secret Love Life of Ophe-
lia. He is also the author of the memoirs Tough Acts and Shopping in the Santa Mon-

The Devil & Maria D’Avalos

Victoria Hammond
Steeped in the overripe beauty, violence, and exoticism of 16th-century Naples, this is
the riveting story behind one of the most famous and terrible murders in the history
of the Renaissance.
In 1590, the great and tormented composer Carlo Gesualdo murdered his beautiful
wife Maria d’Avalos and her aristocratic lover. Gesualdo was a character of Shake-
spearian proportions: nobleman, musical genius, and—for the last 16 years of his life—
an alleged madman. With the chilling calculation of a hunter, he staged the violent and
bloody murder of the lovers like an opera. Yet far from ending his torment, the mur-
der caused Gesualdo’s subsequent years to increasingly be filled by demons and de-
mentia. Inspired by these haunting events, this lush and sensual novel vividly imagines
the life of the mysterious and seductive Maria, her tormented marriage to Carlo, and
her affair with Fabrizio Carafa, the most handsom and accomplished
nobleman in Naples. Victoria Hammond is the author of Letters from St Petersburg
and Visions of Heaven.

A Country Cotillion
Sandra Heath
As the widow of an irresistible and infamous libertine, Elizabeth became accustomed
both to cruelty and to passion—two things she suddenly recognizes in a would-be
suitor.
“Heath has a fine writing style that captures the atmosphere perfectly . . . a very
enjoyable read.” —Regency Reviews on A Commercial Enterprise
Beautiful Elizabeth French had learned both the pleasure and pain of love as the bride
of James French. But now that irresistible and infamous libertine was dead—and Eliz-
abeth chose to wed a handsome lord as different from James as day from night. Sir
Alexander Norrington was dark where James had been so fiercely exciting. Surely it
was better thus, Elizabeth told herself—until she met Marcus Sheridan, the Duke of
Arlington, who was so much like James as to set Elizabeth’s pulse racing, even as she
desperately tried not to fall prey again to a man who would win her heart only to break
it. Sandra Heath is the award-winning author of more than 60 novels, including Break-
ing the Rules, Easy Conquest, Playing with Fire, and Second Thoughts. She is a past

A Dedicated Scoundrel
Anne Barbour
He called himself John Smith, but to Catherine his name was temptation.
“One of my favorite authors.” —Mary Balogh, author, Slightly Wicked

“You can always count on Anne Barbour for gloriously innovative romance.”
—Romantic Times on Miss Prestwick’s Crusade
Catherine Meade swiftly sensed that she could not trust the stranger who rudely thrust
himself into her life. He was roughly dressed, but spoke in the accents of an aristocrat.
He knew all there was to know of a woman’s weaknesses, yet claimed to know noth-
ing of his own past. If Catherine did not think well of the mysterious Mr. Smith from
the outset, her opinion only grew worse. It becomes clear that his secrets are scandalous
and his nightly trips to London questionable indeed. But even as she exposes one in-
famy after another about this man who lies as smoothly as he kisses, she comes to find
that it is not only his tongue she cannot not trust, but her heart as well. Anne Barbour
is the Romantic Times Best Regency of the Year Award–winning author of numerous
romances, including Buried Secrets, A Man of Affairs, and Miss Prestwick’s Crusade.
She lives in the Black Hills of South Dakota.

A Rake’s Reform
Anne Barbour
An unlikely romance ignites between a spirited young woman and a notoriously libertine lord.
“With her typical wit and humor, Barbour . . . has penned a delightful, well-written
Regency featuring a pair of engaging protagonists (who both reform), a well-drawn group
of secondary characters, and an interesting element of Regency feminism.“ —Library Journal
When Charles Trent, the Earl of Bythorne and Britain’s premier rake, plummeted into Hester
Blayne’s life, he proved to be as wicked and arrogant, not to say breath-stoppingly handsome
as expected. The man actually expected her to take his earnest ward under her wing and
persuade the damsel to marry the man of his choice. For his part, Trent found England’s
premier feminist firebrand absolutely infuriating. She was plain, dedicated to her philosophy,
and completely unimpressed by his charm. It was not long, however, before Hester realized
that beneath Trent’s handsome exterior lay a man of sensitivity and warmth. For his part, Trent
soon abandoned his prejudice against plain, dedicated firebrands and found himself drawn to
Hester’s wit, charm, and intelligence. And come to think of it, she really wasn’t all that plain,
was she? The battle of the sexes was about to claim two more victims, but who would be the
first to concede defeat? Anne Barbour is the Romantic Times Best Regency of the Year Award–
winning author of numerous romances, including Buried Secrets, A Man of Affairs, and Miss
Prestwick’s Crusade. She lives in the Black Hills of South Dakota.

dalous suppositions—why was Miss Fairchild, though both rich and beautiful, still unwed

believe love had a surprising way of turning to reality.
Lovely Katherine Penn longs for a near impossibility: to have her play performed. Unfortunately,

the unknown. Meanwhile Viscount Ramsey offers his own theater for the group’s practice, a

Red Dress Walking
S. A. Jones
A playful, engrossing novel about the power of books, love, relationships, breakdowns,
and break-ups.
“A clever novel.” —Books for Bookworm

This is the story of an intimate circle of friends and one couple, Will and Emily, who are
very much in love with each other. Will is an engineer who succeeds through hard work
and determination rather than innate ability. Emily is quiet and withdrawn, working for
a publisher and asserting herself only when she explores her passions of literature and
cooking. Unknown to Will or her friends, Emily keeps a secret journal of stories she
believes are shared with her by marginal characters from her favorite novels. These char-
acters suddenly become increasingly real to her, and as the lines between reality and
fiction begin to blur, Will, Emily, and their close circle of friends become caught up in
one another’s lives in ways they never thought possible. Not long after a fourth anniversary
dinner celebrating their relationship, Will is struggling to find a way to let Emily know
that he wants to make a long-term commitment. He eventually stumbles upon a stunning
red dress that he believes will show Emily just how much he loves and appreciates her
individual style and personality, but despite his good intentions, the gift sets in motion
a series of events that create a huge rift in their relationship. A thought-provoking novel
of beauty, books, love, and desire, Red Dress Walking is a playful, clever, and sexy novel
about men and women, the fierce friendships that women have, and what certain books
mean to us. S. A. Jones is a professional writer.

Alice in La La Land
Sophie Lee
Hollywood is anything but easy street for an aspiring actress in this comic story from
acclaimed film star Sophie Lee.
“An assured debut.” —Vogue Australia

“Much of the book's strength and humor occur when Alice reveals the tedium
(and humiliation) of the auditioning process . . . Lee's writing is fresh and snappy.”
—Age
A series of disasters in her home town causes actress Alice Evans to flee to Hollywood,
where she finds that life is not the glittery stuff of dreams. She is forced to navigate her
way around the city in a cheap, Japanese rental car, lurching from one audition to the
next. She has no money in the bank, no friends, and her auditions continually fail to im-
press. She crashes in an apartment in the decidedly nonglamorous Miracle Mile district
with an out-of-work swimsuit model and two bellicose cats who have a habit of invad-
ing her suitcase when she’s not looking. Alice begins to suspect she’s come to the worst
place on earth to turn her luck around, but she’s hell bent on her mission to succeed—
until a chance meeting causes her to rethink her priorities. Sophie Lee is a television and
film actress whose credits include Holy Smoke and Muriel’s Wedding.

Gucci Mamas
Cate Kendall
Welcome to the world of the Carpark Mafia, the Mothers Superior, and all the other
pressures of being the perfect, status-obsessed parent.
“A satirical and incisively witty take on the status-obsessed mothers who gather in
gaggles around the gates of private schools.” —Courier Mail
“It's the juicy detail that counts and really makes this worth reading. There's Prada,
passion, bitching, adultery, cosmetic surgery, people's horrible pasts coming to get
them, and moments of high medical drama—it's all here between the covers. Gucci
Mamas is trash and treasure all at once and it doesn't get much better than that.”
—Newcastle Herald
“A cheeky tale of the cashed up, socially elevated label- and looks-driven set of society

Once a down-to-earth girl, Mim Woolcott now keeps Prada, Louis Vuitton, and numerous

and snobbery. In between keeping up with the Joneses, cracks are starting to show in Mim’s
perfect life as money gets tighter and her husband works ever longer hours. If her two best
friends have similar problems, Mim would never know: the Gucci Mamas are far too busy
picking outfits and having manicures to notice each other’s troubles. Something’s got to give,
and it will take a catastrophic, life-changing event to bring Mim to her senses. Cate Kendall

Versace Sisters
Cate Kendall
High fashion and high drama collide in this novel about the difficulties of life at the top.
“Versace Sisters could certainly be filed under the genre chick-lit. It is in the same vein
as Candace Bushnell’s One Fifth Avenue and the popular television show Desperate
Housewives . . . Recommended to any fan of Marian Keyes and others of her ilk.”
—Boomerang Books
From the backwaters to the sophisticated streets of the city, sisters Bellarene and Serandip-
ity have come a long way. Sera’s friends, work, home, and even her children are beautiful
and well styled, but she finds herself stretched to the limit as she goes to extreme lengths to
maintain the illusion of a flawless life. No wonder she relies on her friends from Stitch ‘n’
Bitch, a weekly knitting group that seems to produce lots of gossip, but few handicrafts. The
group is composed of Sera’s best friend, the ditzy Mallory; flight attendant Chantrea, who
balances full-time work, single parenthood, and plenty of guilt about her child-care choices;
single-dad Sam; and the uptight Jacqueline, the cookie-cutter version of 1950s housewife per-
fection. All Sera wants is to be perfect, but a little secret continues to haunt her past. Cate
Kendall is the pen name for the writing team Lisa Blundell and Michelle Harmer. They are

Dear Everybody
Michael Kimball
An intense and heartbreaking novel from one of the brightest and most unusual voices
in American fiction, newly released in paper.
“There is a whole life contained in this slim novel, a life as funny and warm and sad
and heartbreaking as any other, rendered with honest complexity and freshness by
Kimball’s sharp writing.” —Los Angeles Times
“In addition to writing stunning prose, Kimball evocatively hints at entire physical
and emotional worlds lying just behind his story’s surface. In many cases, the author’s
verbal compression both amplifies and dampens the tragic clamor of Jonathon’s letters
. . . they harbor such a strange emotional power that you’ll find them hard to forget.”
—Time Out New York
“A reader can only embrace the open-armed Dear Everybody . . . In Bender’s unsent
letters of apology or thanks, Michael Kimball transforms the familiar into the strange
again and the simplest confessions are made moments of sublime wonder. Hold on to
this book.” —Christine Schutt, author, Florida, a National Book Award finalist, and
winner of the O. Henry Prize and Pushcart Prize
Tracing the nuances of a short-lived life, this involving and sympathetically written novel
maintains a tone of finely judged tension between laughter and tears. Jonathon Bender had
something to tell the world, but the world wouldn’t listen. However, he left behind him
unsent letters addressed to relatives, friends, neighbors, coaches, teachers, classmates, pro-
fessors, roommates, psychiatrists, employers, his younger self, former girlfriends, his ex-wife,
a TV station, and God, among many others. This unsent correspondence forms the narra-
tive of a remarkable life. Michael Kimball is the author of How Much of Us There Was and

Okei
Mitsugu Saotome
A sweeping novel of epic history and romance set in a period in which Japan made its
transformation from the medieval period to the modern age.
Set in the midst of samurai warfare in the mountainous region of Aizu in the late 19th
century, Okei recounts the coming of age of a young peasant girl Okei, who falls desper-
ately in love with the fierce warrior Sanasuma Kingo, only to learn that the world she
inhabits has no place for love. The two live in entirely different worlds, and Okei must learn
to understand both the nature of her hidden feelings rising within her and the arcane codes
and honor system of the samurai. As the forces of the old Tugokawa order struggle to con-
tain the imperialist army, Okei and her rural community find that exile to the New World
may be their only remaining chance of survival. Epically capturing the character of a coun-
try in the midst of revolution and faced with the onset of modernity, Mitsugu Saotome’s
masterful novel manages to blend vivid historical detail with a timeless tale of romance,
self-discovery, and growing up. Mitsugu Saotome (1926–2008) is an author of historical
fiction, focusing on Japan’s Warring States period and the transition from the premodern
Tokugawa to the modern Meiji (1868–1912) era. He won the prestigious Naoki Prize for
his 1968 Kyojin no ori (The Cage of the Traveler).

Liselle never meant to fall in love. When she accompanied her archaeologist husband on a
dig in Mexico, she didn’t expect to meet Charlie—a talented, fiercely intelligent painter who
sees her in a way that her husband never has. Liselle enters into a brief but intense affair
with him that shocks her into living again. Liselle then travels to a remote village on the
west coast of Ireland. She gradually becomes acquainted with some of the locals, whose
wholehearted charm and colorful stories revive her spirits and inspire her to make a
documentary about their interwoven tales of romance. While she explores her fascinating
new surroundings, Liselle comes to confront her own tumultuous past and her feelings for
Charlie, the Welsh painter who rekindled her passions in Mexico, realizing that to tell the
stories of others, she must first reveal her own. Sarah Stonich’s first novel, These Granite
Islands, was translated into seven languages. It was a Barnes & Noble “Discover Great New
Writers” selection, a Book Sense 76 Top Ten Pick, a finalist for France’s prestigious Grand
Prix Letrices d’Elle, and a “2001 Friends of American Writers” Best Novel. She lives in

absurdity and horror of postcommunist Russia.
“I like The Rat-Killer . . . I always do like these sardonic Russian tales—a genre on their
own—that take satire to its extreme.” —Doris Lessing, Nobel Prize–winner in Literature
“Fine satire in a Gogol-esque vein.” —Guardian
“Funny, crazy, and wonderfully unpredictable.” —Times
“Packed with forceful imagery and the slang of modern Russian . . . a racy read
which is at the same time an extended metaphor and a satirical novel very much
in the Russian tradition.” —Moscow Times
Rats and human beings aren’t always that far apart from each other. As the political
intrigue of phantasmagorical postcommunist reality develops into nightmare, the greed,
cunning, and malice of the humans more and more resemble the behavior of the large com-
munities of destructive rodents, while the rats acquire more and more human features.
Svetloyar is bidding to be included in the list of historical towns making up Russia’s
famous “Golden Ring,” a lucrative tourist route around Moscow. Aside from the prob-
lem that it has no history, having been entirely constructed during the Stalinist period, the
place is overrun by rats and two pest-controllers are summoned from Moscow. What
follows is an astute interrogation of the nature of both humanity and history, as the nar-
rator’s desire for the regional dictator’s wife sits subtly alongside his perpetual
concern for the destruction of rats. While clearly in the classical Russian tradition, the
novel also incorporates the more experimental and satirical aesthetic of Soviet writers such
as Bulgakov, and as the narrator’s perception of reality becomes increasingly warped, so
does our experience of the almost comically grotesque landscape around him. Alexander
Terekhov’s short stories have been translated into French, German, and English.

Raj Kumar
The first volume of a gripping trilogy set in the U.S. and the Middle-East, this is a story
of love, loyalty, intrigue, suspicion, and intolerance.
Maryam is the beloved daughter of Ibrahim, a high-ranking officer in the Saudi Arabian
army. Ibrahim dotes on Maryam, his pride in her learning, wisdom, and independent spirit

respect she has for her Arabian culture, and her loyalty to Islam, Maryam yearns for travel
and the opportunity to continue her education in Europe. Before she can pursue her dreams,
Ibrahim announces Maryam’s betrothal, her hand the fulfillment of a solemn promise made
before Maryam was born to a man who once saved his life. Maryam endeavors to stifle her
bitter disappointment and to honor her father’s wishes, but soon after she meets Ben, an
American Jewish dentist. As Ben and Maryam pursue an increasingly intimate clandestine
relationship they dare to dream of freedom and a life together. Soon Ben attracts the
attention of the Muttawa—the feared Saudi religious police—and when Maryam discovers
that she is pregnant, she knows that she now faces a terrifying ordeal. Raj Kumar is an artist

The Biographer
Virginia Duigan
Featuring a passionate love story, ambition, and intrigue, this is a moving investigation
of human frailty.
“A clear light on the ruthless habits of biography. Marvelous.”

—Drusilla Modjeska, author, The Orchard
“The backgrounds have a physical richness, and the portrayal of artistic life and
conflicts is convincingly achieved.”
—Christopher Koch, author, The Year of Living Dangerously
“Duigan’s novel is a gripping study of the duel between the woman with a secret and
the biographer who senses her fear. Beautifully paced, and even more sinister for its
decorous setting, The Biographer offers the elements of a detective story and a debate
on biography's methods and ethics in a sympathetically drawn human situation.”
—Age
Greer Gordon lives in Italy with Mischa Svoboda, a driven Czech-born painter with a boom-
ing international reputation. Their explosive love affair caused Greer to abandon her

has come to the small Italian hilltop community where they now live to interview the artist.

intended to write out of her life story. It soon becomes clear that Tony is manipulating the
couple in order to produce a more exciting conclusion to his book. As her hand is slowly
forced, Greer must finally examine her past actions, and in the process she makes a
life-changing discovery. Virginia Duigan is a former film and television writer who has con-
tributed to the Observer and the Times. She is the author of Days Like These.

Crap Lyrics
A Celebration of the Very Worst Pop Lyrics of All Time . . . Ever!
Johnny Sharp
The very best of the very worst music has to offer, including awkward phrases, clumsy
clichés, and mixed metaphors.
Songwriters often don’t seem to bother with the basic laws of the English language. Bob Dylan
is famous for “Blowing in the Wind” but less known for his quite original line “wiggle,
wiggle, like a bowl of soup;” Duran Duran sang “you’re about as easy as a nuclear war” in
“Is There Something I Should Know,” and Spandau Ballet even named a song, “Instinction,”
which is in fact not a real word. The airwaves are crammed with terrible titles and non-
sensical lyrics, and this hilarious compendium catalogs and identifies the very worst offenders.
Johnny Sharp is a music critic who writes regularly for the Daily Telegraph, the Guardian,
and Q magazine.

Fortunate Son
The Unlikely Rise of Keith Urban
Jeff Apter
From his unusual Aussie roots to his worldwide success, a close look
at the life of one of country music’s most astounding stars.
“If you only ever read gossip magazines, you'd be forgiven for as-
suming that Keith Urban is nothing more than a put-upon cuckold.
Ditch Woman's Day and get the real skinny on the Aussie country
star.” —Rolling Stone
“What did Keith Urban ever do to Jeff Apter? Surely nothing to war-
rant the mullet sporting gap-toothed snap in this bare-all bio's cen-
terfold! It's unforgiving, as are all the normally hush-hush details of
his life splattered across its pages.” —OK! magazine
Born in New Zealand in 1967 and raised in Australia, Keith Urban has
unlikely roots for one of the world’s biggest country music stars. His suc-
cess is undeniable: to date he has sold more than five million albums, writ-
ten five number-one singles, and his shows sell out in minutes to throngs
of country fans across the U.S. His very public relationship with Nicole
Kidman—whom he married in an A-list affair in 2006—earned Urban a
totally new audience, with gossip magazines across the planet tracking their
relationship and the recent birth of their long-wished-for child, Sunday Rose.
Frank, this insider’s biography reveals how Keith Urban lived out his child-
hood dream, as well as the price he’s had to pay to reach the top of the
music business. Jeff Apter is a former music editor at Rolling Stone and
has contributed to Vogue and GQ magazines. He is the author of several
music biographies, including The Dave Grohl Story, Jeff Buckley, and A
Pure Drop.

The Smiths
Songs That Saved Your Life
Revised edition
Simon Goddard
Now corrected and revised to include interviews with guitarist Johnny Marr and pro-
ducer John Porter and previously unpublished stills of the band.
“A mighty achievement.” —MOJO

They were the most outstanding British guitar group of the 1980s, and one of the most
successful indie acts of all time. Morrissey, Johnny Marr, Andy Rourke, and Mike Joyce—
better known as the Smiths—created just four studio albums during their brief career
together, but left an influential legacy that can still be heard in many of the groups that
followed in their wake. In the new edition of this indispensable guide, the exhaustive
track-by-track commentary has the input and full cooperation of Mike Joyce, as well
as contributions from Andy Rourke and Johnny Marr. Drawing upon the group’s pri-
vate collection of studio tapes, Goddard describes numerous previously unheard takes,
and reveals for the first time the names and details of songs that were never released.
The book is illustrated with outstanding examples of the group’s distinctive record cov-
ers, and scores of rare stills. Simon Goddard is a music journalist who writes for pub-
lications such as Q, and has written liner notes for musicians
including Nico and Siouxsie and the Banshees.

The Complete David Bowie

Expanded and Updated Edition
Nicholas Pegg
Critically acclaimed since its first edition and now again extensively expanded and
updated, this fifth edition explores every facet of Bowie’s career in revealing depth
and detail.
“Pegg eloquently catalogues Bowie’s proclivity for making radical jumps from one
musical and fashion motif to another.” —Publishers Weekly
From the 11-year-old’s skiffle performance at the 18th Bromley Scouts’ Summer Camp
in 1958 to the 57-year-old’s health problems on the 2004 world tour and subsequent
low-key activities, this book discusses and dissects every last move in rock’s most fas-
cinating career. A detailed production history and analysis is presented for each album,
from 1967’s David Bowie to 2003’s Reality, as well as the recent Best of Bowie DVD
and the anniversary reissues of classic albums such as Aladdin Sane and Black Tie White
Noise. Hundreds of individual entries reveal the facts and anecdotes behind specific
songs—not just the famous recordings, but also the most obscure of unreleased rari-
ties, from “Absolute Beginners” to “Ziggy Stardust” and from “Abdulmajid” to “Zion.”
Other incredibly detailed subjects covered include the tours—set lists and histories of
every live show and Bowie as actor—a complete guide to his stage and screen work,
the videos, the BBC radio sessions, the paintings, the internet, and, for true Bowie fa-
natics, the most exhaustive day-by-day calendar of Bowie’s career ever published. Nicholas
Pegg is an actor, playwright, theater director, and journalist.

ger questions in life in an attempt to help readers (and himself) arrive at a greater understand-

English Gothic
A Century of Horror Cinema
Jonathan Rigby
Foreword by Barbara Shelley
Afterword by David McGillivray
“Don’t even try to discuss British horror films until you’ve read it.” —SFX
“Jonathan Rigby . . . buries any lingering doubts about his country’s unique and con-
siderable contributions to the genre. A deliciously chilling ride.” —Publishers Weekly
“Authoritative . . . an essential purchase.” —Empire
“A major achievement.” —Film Review
“I cannot recommend it highly enough.” —Shivers
The British horror film is almost as old as cinema itself. From its 19th-century beginnings
to the present day, this expanded and updated history of the rise and fall of the genre en-
compasses the lost films of the silent era, the Karloff and Lugosi chillers of the 1930s, the
lurid Hammer classics, and the explicit shockers of the 1970s. Jonathan Rigby applies his
incisive scrutiny to a selection of 100 crucial movies from the genre’s boom period—1954
to 1975—before considering more recent titles such as Shaun of the Dead. Filled with film
posters, stills, and behind-the-scenes shots, this entertaining and revealing study sheds new
light on British cinema’s most successful—and most misunderstood—export. Jonathan Rigby
is the author of American Gothic and Christopher Lee. Barbara Shelley was dubbed the First
Lady of British Horror for her roles in such Hammer films as Dracula, Prince of Darkness,
and The Gorgon. David McGillivray is a screenwriter, film critic, and the author of Doing
Rude Things.

The Relational Manager
Transform Your Business and Your Life
Michael Schluter and David John Lee
Filled with practical advice, this illuminating study shows how strong interpersonal
relationships can help a business thrive.
When relationships are nourished, they encourage a corresponding human flourish-

piness all suffer. This insightful study examines relationships in the context of business
and the community, including the areas of communications, management, money, and
security. Using a wealth of statistics and research, it clearly demonstrates that rela-
tional poverty affects all areas of a business, and is associated with poor health, in-
effective management, and low output at work. A range of tips and advice are offered
on developing strong relationships in all areas and at all levels of the work place as
well. Michael Schluter is chairman of the Relationships Foundation and the author
of several books, including Christianity in a Changing World. David John Lee works

Let Your Past Go and Live
Freedom from Family, Relationship and Work Baggage
Avril Carruthers
Practical advice on identifying, isolating, and moving beyond repressed traumas to de-
velop confidence and self-esteem.
In order to survive the challenges presented by families, the workplace, and relationships,
many people put on masks and play roles. These include the victim who only feels good
when they are rescuing people; the antagonist who bullies others; and the insecure who
allow others to step on them. These roles are often developed in childhood, can last a life-
time, and their presence can drain and sabotage individuals, distracting them from lead-
ing better lives. Accessible and inspired, this innovative approach to deep-seated issues
looks at the destructive influence of repressed hurts and traumas that manifest themselves
in the form of personality types, and offers insight on how to release them once and for
all. Avril Carruthers is a transpersonal psychotherapist.

God, Actually
Why God Probably Exists, Why Jesus Was Probably Divine, and Why the
‘Rational’ Objections to Religion are Unconvincing
Roy Williams
A profound and engaging analysis of the origins of Christian beliefs that uses hard
evidence and logic to find answers to the biggest questions of life and religion.
“A must read for skeptics. Roy Williams brings a lawyer’s careful attention to
evidence and strength of inference to life’s (and death’s) most important ques-
tions. He respectfully, but effectively, cross-examines the case against Christian-
ity as propounded by its recent atheist advocates. Like C. S. Lewis and other
authors who came to faith late in life, Roy Williams understands the issues that
trouble atheists and agnostics and gives thoughtful, convincing responses. He
takes on the issues that serve as roadblocks to many modern skeptics, from cre-
ation and evolution to the religious right.” —Robert F. Cochran, author,
Faith and Law
Drawing upon examples from science, politics, history, sociology, and the arts, this
intriguing look at the nature of Christian faith answers the biggest questions by ap-
pealing to evidence and reason. Rather than disavowing or avoiding its presence, this
study acknowledges the vital place of doubt and uncertainty in God’s creation and
seeks to determine its origin. Rebutting the arguments of atheists such as Christopher
Hitchens and Richard Dawkins, it shows how an avid, modern-day faith can be based
upon logical deductions from known facts rather than just blind trust. Intriguing and
innovative, this is a refreshingly honest and thorough examination of the state of re-
ligious belief. Roy Williams is a former lawyer.

Pilgrimage
A Spiritual and Cultural Journey
Ian Bradley
A lavishly illustrated exploration of the centuries-old phenomenon of the
Christian pilgrimage, highlighting its history as well as modern-day treks.
This concept of the Christian pilgrimage has its origins in the exodus of the Jews from
ancient Egypt, but it has changed and adapted with the passing centuries. In medieval
times millions of pilgrims spent months traveling across Europe to visit holy cities and
shrines, and today a modern revival has blurred the lines between pilgrimage and tourism
and made places such as Iona, Taize, and Santiago di Compostella contemporary mec-
cas. This fascinating volume offers a history of the pilgrimage over the past two millen-
nia, including common routes in Ireland, Scotland, England, Wales, Norway, France, Spain,
Italy, Bosnia-Herzogovina, and Poland. Information on the holy walks themselves is of-
fered along with vivid personal accounts and prayers from pilgrims that help to bring to
life one of the most vibrant expressions of Christian spirituality. Ian Bradley regularly
leads pilgrimages and is the author of more than 30 books, including Celtic Christian
Communities and You’ve Got to Have a Dream.

Visions & Voyages

The Story of Celtic Spirituality
Fay Sampson
An expansive look at the tumultuous history and memorable figures of celtic Christianity.
As the Roman Empire began to crumble, Celtic Christians began to embark more often on pil-
grimages and quests. They explored such visionary islands as Skellig Michael, Iona, and Lind-
isfarne, yet their spirituality was largely concerned with politics and people. Brigid ruled a
monastery for women and men, princesses and slaves, while Arthur was defending celtic Britain
against English invaders, and Aidan died protesting against his king. While some celtic Chris-
tians did slam the monastery gates on the sinful world, most tramped into the hills to stand along-
side ordinary people. Drawing on historical documents and a thoughtful examination of legends,
this is an insightful resource that unveils the development of and tenets behind the various strands
of celtic Christianity. Fay Sampson is the winner of the Barco de Vapor Award. She is the au-
thor of numerous novels for children and adults, as well as Runes on the Cross.

Isfahan
Wilfred Blunt
Filled with photos and engravings that capture its cultural magnificence, a comprehensive
look at one of the world’s most stunning cities.
Once one of the largest cities in the world, Isfahan is an ancient metropolis that sits across
timeless trade routes. It became the glittering capital of Iran’s greatest dynasty, the Safavids,
during the 16th century. Shah Abbas I (1587–1629) in particular helped to transform it into
a city rich in art, cultural wonders, and architecture rich in form and surface decoration.
Reprinted for the first time in 40 years, this astounding survey provides a history of the
city from its earliest days up through the early 20th century and features dozens of photo-
graphs, engravings, and examples of the tilework and architecture from across the centuries
that make Isfahan the cultural crown of Iran. Wilfred Blunt (1901–1987) was an art his-
torian and educationalist, and the author of Linnaeus: The Compleat Naturalist.

Through a Land of Extremes
The Littledales of Central Asia
Elizabeth Clinch and Nicholas Clinch
Foreword by Sir Chris Bonington
Never-before-published photos enrich this look at the life and work of the greatest Eng-
lish explorers of their day.
On August 4, 1895, at a 19,000-foot pass on the north side of Goring La in Tibet, only
48 miles from Lhasa, a 43-year-old Englishman, his 55-year-old wife, and a fox terrier
confronted more than 150 Tibetans armed with primitive matchlocks. The Englishman
was St. George Littledale. His wife, Teresa, had shared in all of his adventures. In the 19th
century, Teresa and George Littledale were known as the greatest English explorers of
their day, journeying further into the hidden lands of Asia than any previous Western ex-
plorer had achieved. Yet, because they never published their own account of their jour-
neys, for more than a century their story has remained largely forgotten. Now the authors,
having discovered the Littledales’ diaries and letters, piece together for the first time their
remarkable, adventurous, and courageous lives. Elizabeth Clinch and Nicholas Clinch have
been to Chinese Central Asia, visiting the places the Littledales stayed. Nicholas Clinch
is former executive director of the Sierra Club Foundation and president of the Ameri-
can Alpine Club. He organized and led Himalayan expeditions and an Antarctic expedi-
tion. They live in Palo Alto, California. Sir Chris Bonington is a mountaineer and the author
of Annapurna South Face and Everest: The Unclimbed Ridge.

She Devils
True Stories of the World’s Most Notorious Female Serial Killers
Anne McDuff
From Aileen Wuournos to lesser-known female murderers, the horrific stories behind their
crimes and the inner workings of their twisted minds.
Very few women kill. When they do, it is often the tragic outcome of domestic abuse, drug
addiction, or mental illness. It is rare for women to kill for pleasure, yet a few emerge in each
generation. At the turn of the last century, with no adoption agencies to protect them, un-
wanted newborns were killed by Annie Walters. Ninety years later, Aileen Wuornos sold her-
self on the highways of Florida, a well-known hunting ground for men looking for
prostitutes—until she became the hunter. Rose West exploited lonely girls from nearby chil-
dren’s homes, and in the 1960s Myra Hindley took sickening advantage of the blind trust of
Britain where children were safe to walk the streets alone. Beverley Allit and Marybeth Tin-
ning thought that, as a nurse and a mother, the deaths of the children in their care would be
seen as tragic accidents. And Karla Homolka exploited a different prejudice: she was perfect,
pretty, and so caring as a veterinary nurse—no one ever imagined she could be a sexual pred-
ator and killer.

The World’s Ten Most Evil Men

Nigel Cawthorne
Manson, bin Laden, Josef Fritzl—this collection is a terrifying reminder that monsters re-
ally do exist.
There are plenty of misguided, violent, and unpleasant people in the world, but how many
can be classified as truly evil? In this hard-hitting collection, acclaimed author Nigel
Cawthorne examines 10 of the most sickeningly twisted men who are still alive today. Some
of them, like serial killer Dennis Nilsen and cult leader Charles Manson, are thankfully be-
hind bars. Others, including the world’s most wanted terrorist, Osama bin Laden, are still at
large. Unbelievably, one of them, Robert Mugabe, is still clinging to the reins of power and
continues to inflict suffering and economic mayhem on the desperate people of Zimbabwe.
Inside this book is the gut-twisting story of Charles Taylor, the blood-soaked African general
who has “recruited” thousands of child soldiers, and one of the most shocking cases of recent
years: that of Josef Fritzl, the Austrian man who imprisoned and sexually abused his own daugh-
ter for almost 25 years. Nigel Cawthorne is the author of many books, including A History
of Pirates, Serial Killers and Mass Murderers, and Witches.

Royal Murders
Dulcie M. Ashdown
Spanning more than 1,000 years, from Ivan the Terrible and Macbeth to Princess Diana,
a compelling journey through the dark side of royal history.
The motives, means, and consequences of the murders among members of Europe’s ruling
families are examined in fascinating detail. Plucking true stories due to their historical sig-
nificance and sheer intrigue, this book relates violent deaths amid royal splendor and the over-
throw of tyrants by oppressed populations. Methods vary from sword and arrow, to bomb
and bullet, to alleged witchcraft. Settings range from Russia to Portugal. The involvement
Mary Queen of Scots may have had in her second husband’s murder is examined as well as
a search for the facts behind Shakespeare’s portrayal of the murderous usurpers Macbeth and
Richard III. But in European history there has been no royal murder to rival Russia’s Tsar
Ivan the Terrible, a homicidal maniac responsible for thousands of deaths, whose dramatic
killing sprees are examined here. Dulcie M. Ashdown is the author of numerous books on
British and European history, including Tudor Cousins.

Catherine Parr
Henry VIII’s Last Love
Susan James
Romantic, turbulent, and terrifying, the life and loves of Henry VIII’s sixth wife
unfold like a romance novel.
“Catherine blossoms before our eyes and so does this book . . . beautifully
written.” —Spectator
Married at 17 to the grandson of a confirmed lunatic and widowed at 20, Cather-
ine Parr chose a Yorkshire lord twice her age as her second husband. Caught up in
the turbulent terrors of the Pilgrimage of Grace in 1536, she was captured by north-
ern rebels, held hostage, and suffered violence at their hands. Fleeing to the south
shortly afterward, Catherine took refuge in the household of Princess Mary and in
the arms of the king’s brother-in-law, Sir Thomas Seymour. Her employment in Mary’s
household brought her to the attention of Mary’s father, the unpredictable, often-
wed Henry VIII. Desperately in love with Seymour, Catherine was forced into mar-
riage with a king whose passion for her could not be hidden and who was determined
to make her his queen. Susan James has written numerous articles on the Parr fam-
ily, including Catherine’s entry in the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography. Her
other books include Kateryn Parr: The Making of a Queen. She lives in California.

The Year That Changed Henry VIII
Suzannah Lipscomb
Compelling and revealing, a new history of the infamous monarch that shows
what a profound difference a year can make in the heart of a king.
Henry VIII is known stereotypically as a corpulent, covetous, and cunning king
whose appetite for worldly goods met few parallels, whose wives met infamously
premature ends, and whose religion was largely political in intent. By focusing
on a pivotal year in the life of Henry, this study moves beyond the caricature to
reveal a fuller portrait of this complex monarch. In 1536, Henry met many fail-
ures—physical, personal, and political—and emerged from them a different man
and a revolutionary new king who proceeded to transform a nation and a reli-
gion. Suzannah Lipscomb is a research curator at Hampton Court Palace.

Charles Dickens
Catherine Peters
The perfect concise introduction to the life and work of one of Britain’s most influential writers.
Charles Dickens was in his own day the most popular novelist who had ever lived, a public fig-
ure adored like a present-day pop star. He still holds his place as one of the greatest English writ-
ers, an original genius whose novels are an essential link in the canon of English literature. He
was also actively involved in the life of his time, campaigning for social and educational reform
and sharply critical of contemporary society. This short biography provides an excellent intro-
duction to Dickens, from his disturbed childhood with a traumatic period working in a blacking
factory, his instant success as a young writer and his tumultuous acclaim in both England and
America, the major novels of the 1850s and 1960s and the establishment of Household Words,
to the final years as a public performer of his own work. Catherine Peters is the author of The
King of Inventors and Lord Byron.

China and Iran

Parallel History, Future Threat
Edward Burman
Two ancient civilizations, both at odds with the West—how the history of these two coun-
tries will bring them closer together, and the effect it will have on the world.
China and Iran have featured heavily in the news in recent years. China is both a military
and an economic superpower with 20 percent of the world’s population; Iran is suspected
of developing nuclear weapons and arming terrorists, and sits on the world’s second-largest
oil and gas reserves. They are also surprisingly close geographically: Iran is only 700 miles
across Afghanistan from China’s extreme western border. A 25-year, $100 billion deal for
Iran to supply China with oil and gas and the large number of Chinese companies operat-
ing in Iran shows that the two are moving increasingly close in both political and economic
terms. But what does this mean for the rest of the world, and especially for “the West?”
Edward Burman examines how the strikingly similar histories of these two ancient civi-
lizations can inform what the likely consequences for the world of an alliance between them
might be. Edward Burman is the author of China: The Stealth Empire, The Inquisition, and
The Templars: Knights of God.

Whatever Happened to Tanganyika?

The Place Names That History Left Behind
Harry Campbell
Foreword by Alexander McCall Smith
Now available in paper, a fascinating trawl through the place names that history left behind—
the stories about where they came from, what happened to them, and what replaced them.
Do you still find yourself referring to Zaire or Czechoslovakia, or wondering whether it should
be Moldavia or Moldova, Burma or Myanmar? Dozens of countries, cities, and counties have
changed their identities over the years. Some of the names we remember from our schooldays or
from news headlines just a few years ago are now gone. For example, what did happen to Tan-
ganyika? The fascinating stories behind the place names include those of Affpiddle, Biafra, British
Heligoland, Ceylon, Flintshire, Friendly Isles, Islands of Samson and the Ducks, Leningrad, Lit-
tle Britain, Macedonia, Muscat, Pleasant Island, Stalingrad, West Britain, and Yugoslavia. From
the major political movements (the Leningrads and Stalingrads of the Socialist Soviet Republic)
to enticing destinations (Pleasant Islands, the Friendly Isles), this guide reveals how the atlas of
yesteryear became the maps of today. Harry Campbell is a freelance lexicographer who formerly
worked for Larousse and Harper Collins. Alexander McCall Smith is a novelist best known as
the creator of The No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency series.

Debunking History
152 Popular Myths Exploded
Ed Rayner and Ron Stapley
From ongoing controversies to popular misunderstandings, this is the perfect ref-
erence tool for teasing out the truth behind the legends and myths of the past.
“Intriguing attempt at setting the record straight regarding the myriad misrepre-
sentations that inform our knowledge of history . . . To the credit of the authors,
all are dealt with in a succinct manner that is often absent in historical debate
and discussion.” —Kirkus Reviews UK
History is full of myths, legends, fables, folklore, misinformation, and misconceptions.
Whether they have come about inadvertently or deliberately, many have become part
of the public imagination. This book presents some of the most popular and endur-
ing of these myths from the time of the American and French revolutions to the two
world wars and beyond. Arranged within well-defined geographical or thematic sec-
tions, and through a mix of short and long entries, each topic is clearly explained and
the myth, error, or controversy is exposed. This is an authoritative, compelling, and
illuminating miscellany, where you can find a straight answer to all those nagging ques-
tions about the past. Ed Rayner and Ron Stapley are history professors and history
textbook authors.

Monarchs, Murders & Mistresses

A Calendar of Royal Days
David Hilliam
“A royal event for each day of the year . . . great bathroom reading!”
—Kirkus Reviews UK
Which ill-prepared monarch was on the English throne at the turn of the last mil-
lennium? How many English monarchs have been crowned on St. George’s Day? When,
how, and why did England “lose” 11 days? The answers to these questions and many
more present a royal event for each day of the calendar year in vivid detail, with
close-ups of the personalities involved. The recurring occupational difficulties faced
by the royal family over the centuries are revealed—as Shakespeare’s Henry IV so
memorably concludes, “Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown.” Today the royal
family is plagued by the press, but even 300 years ago Charles II felt the need to
apologize to a crowd of onlookers for taking so long to die. Ranging from the death
of William III, who was killed by a mole to the beheading of Mary, Queen of Scots,
more than 300 tales of royal days, supplemented by family trees and date lines, bring
alive the drama of what it was, and is, to be a king or a queen. David Hilliam is the
author of Crown, Orb & Sceptre and Kings, Queens, Bones and Bastards.

Erik Durschmied
An exhaustive look at the persons and organizations who persecuted witches

colorful cast of characters, including Joan of Arc, Luther, (the real) Dr.

opment of the “witch delusion” and uncovers the cruel butchers who hunted and

them self-protection, personal vindictiveness, public recognition, political aims,
and sheer greed. With its strong narrative and colorful cast of characters that in-
cludes Joan of Arc, Martin Luther, Dr. Faust, the unfortunate children of Salem,
and SS chief Heinrich Himmler, this is a passionate investigation into some of the

Secret Agent’s Handbook

The WWII Spy Manual of Devices, Disguises, Gadgets,
and Concealed Weapons
Introduction by Mark Seaman
Filled with astoundingly ingenious disguises, gadgets, and concealed
weapons, a facsimile edition of the original World War II spy manual.
Cloak-and-dagger escapades have long been a mainstay of film and literature,
but the stuff of these movies and spy novels often had origins in real-life es-
pionage. Originally used by British special operations agents to select weapons,
gadgets, and disguises for their secret missions during World War II, this in-
credibly diverse manual illustrates actual techniques used during wartime. Fea-
turing everything from exploding rats and Chianti bottles to shoes that leave
barefoot prints and incendiary cigarettes and briefcases, this is an astounding
look at the state of espionage during the war and the ingenuity of scientists
and spies. Mark Seaman is a historian specializing in espionage and the au-
thor of The Bravest of the Brave, Garbo, and Special Operations Executive.

The Lost Ship SS Waratah
The Search for the Titanic of the South
P. J. Smith
Foreword by Clive Cussler
A foreword by Clive Cussler and never-before-published materials enrich this look at one of the
most enduring maritime mysteries of the 20th century.
In 1909, the SS Waratah embarked on her second voyage—from Sydney to England via South Africa.
Filled with families anticipating a new life on the other side of the world, what started out as a jour-
ney full of hope ended abruptly when the ship vanished between Durban and Cape Town. Ironically,
the ship was due to be fitted with pioneering radio equipment when she reached England, but to this
day nothing has been heard of the ship or her human cargo. Believing her to be drifting, the horrified
authorities ordered a search vessel to comb the seas but in three months they found nothing. A second
longer search was commissioned but still no trace was found. The mystery has spawned many con-
spiracy theories and even a million-dollar search mission by author Clive Cussler. P. J. Smith, the great-
niece of Walter Smith, transcribed his diaries and researched the wider story of the Waratah to compile
this unique history. Clive Cussler is an adventure novelist whose books include Arctic Drift, Atlantis Found, and Valhalla Rising.

RMS Lusitania
The Ship & Her Record
Eric Sauder
Foreword by Audrey Pearl Lawson Johnston
Illustrations by Ken Marschall
From her first sailing to her tragic sinking, replete with archive images, the true history of the
glory and tragedy that marked the career of RMS Lusitania.
RMS Lusitania sank in May 1915 as the result of a torpedo from the U-20. The death toll was 1,198
that day as she sank in less than 20 minutes off the coast of Ireland. Built in 1907, she had a suc-
cessful career of nearly 80 years before that fateful day. Famous for her sinking, she was the fastest
ship in the world when built, and was the first of the superliners. For the first time, Eric Sauder
looks at her as a ship, and not just at her sinking. She was the first true “Ship of State,” with luxu-
rious interiors, double-deck restaurants, glorious public rooms, and sumptuous cabins. Her sinking
was a major factor in Britain’s decision to enter World War I. This illustrated history looks at Lusi-
tania in her true context as the finest ship afloat during her eight years. Eric Sauder is the foremost
expert on the history of the Cunard Line’s RMS Lusitania and has dived on her wreck. He lives in California. Audrey Pearl Law-
son Johnston is the last living first-class Lusitania passenger. Ken Marschall is a famed maritime artist and consultant on many
films including James Cameron’s Ghosts of the Abyss and Titanic.

Titanic and the Californian

Thomas B. Williams
Edited by Rob Kamps
Exploring the controversial question of whether the Californian was the ship that ignored
Titanic’s plight.
More than 95 years ago, as the Titanic slowly sank, a “mystery” ship was seen as she slipped below
the waves. Thinking it would be their salvation, rockets were fired from Titanic to attract the un-
known ship, but to no avail. With 1,500 souls on board the Titanic foundered, but what of the
mystery ship? At the subsequent inquiries, Captain Stanley Lord and his vessel, the Californian,
were accused of ignoring the Titanic’s distress calls. Thomas B. Williams unearthed a host of new
and important evidence that prompted the British government to reopen the case surrounding Cap-
tain Lord and effectively proved that the much maligned captain and his ship could not have been
the mystery ship seen from the decks of the doomed Titanic. Gathered in this intriguing volume
are his most noted findings and discoveries. Thomas B. Williams has been researching the story of
the Titanic for two decades. Rob Kamps is also a Titanic researcher.

The QE2 Story
Chris Frame and Rachelle Cross
Many unpublished photographs, including material from Commodore Warwick, are
included in this complete story of the longest-lasting superliner and most popular
of all passenger ships.
There has been no more beloved liner than the Queen Elizabeth 2. The last liner to be
built on British soil, she was constructed by John Brown & Co., Clydebank (Scotland)
and her keel was laid on July 5, 1965, marking the start of her illustrious career. Her
maiden voyage left Southampton on May 2, 1969, bound for New York, and she has
remained in service for the past 40 years. She had a spell as a military ship from 1982,
when she was requisitioned to serve as a troop carrier during the Falklands War, and during her military career QE2 success-
fully sailed more than 14,900 miles. Post-war, she has had many refits, including a headline-grabbing total refurbishment in
1994 to turn her into a 21st-century luxury liner. In November 2008, QE2 retired to a new life in Dubai World, where she
began her conversion to a floating hotel, and the last chapter of her exceptional life in service will close. Chris Frame and Rachelle
Cross are also the authors of QE2: A Photographic Journey.

error, inhospitable terrain, and hostile action—this is a jarring compendium of some of history’s
most devastating aviation catastrophes. The first incident of sabotage involving a commercial
jetliner is covered, as are the first crash of the jumbo jet era and such high-profile episodes as
Pan American Flight 103 at Lockerbie and the Twin Towers tragedy of September 11. An overview
of the history of air passenger travel over the decades is also provided, along with a time line
covering the rise of the threat of terrorism since the 1970s and the improvements rooted in the
massively increased technological safeguards now implemented by airlines worldwide. David Gero
is the author of Flights of Terror and Military Aviation Disasters.

Spitfire in Combat
Alfred Price
A dramatic account of the daring exploits of this iconic plane and its pilots in World War II
includes rare images of the plane in action.
“One of the best on the period and its arms, well organized and intense.”
—Library Journal on One Day in a Long War
Probably the most famous fighter aircraft of all time, the Submarine Spitfire’s distinctive shape
and sound mark it out from most other aircraft of the World War II period. From the biplane
era of the 1930s to the start of the jet age in 1944, the Spitfire, through continuous modifica-
tion and development, remained at the forefront of fighter design and proved itself equal or su-
perior to any of its competitors. During the same period, other variants of the Spitfire proved
highly effective in the photographic reconnaissance role. Aspects of the aircraft’s history such
as the “Speed Spitfire,” specially modified in 1938 for an attempt on the world landplane speed
record, are covered in this fully illustrated account. An ideal primer for those whose interest in
the Spitfire is just beginning, this guide also provides the details of all WWII key aviation battles—sure to add to the knowl-
edge of those who are already familiar with this classic aircraft. Alfred Price is a former RAF aircrew officer and the author
of more than 50 books on aviation subjects, including The Last Year of the Luftwaffe and War in the Fourth Dimension, and
One Day in a Long War.

The Battle for Quebec 1759
Britain’s Conquest of Canada
Matthew C. Ward
The experiences of not only senior officers but also ordinary troops and civilians are examined
in this concise history of the British war against the French for control of Canada.
“A gripping narrative history of the storming of Quebec, which ended French rule in North
America.” —Hew Strachan, author, The First World War
2009 is the 250th year anniversary of this battle
On September 13, 1759, British and French forces fought one of the most decisive battles in his-
tory, on the Plains of Abraham outside the Canadian capital of Quebec. The British force decisively
routed the French, seizing the city and, ultimately, all of Canada. But the struggle for Quebec was
far more than one climactic battle: the campaign involved an immense military and naval opera-
tion, an 18th-century D-Day. British and Canadian archives were researched extensively to look at
the entire campaign, from its inception in Whitehall to its ultimate culmination in Montreal in 1760.
What emerges is not just a picture of bravery and heroism, but also of a campaign that became increasingly brutal and cruel,
with both sides resorting to practices such as the routine scalping of enemy dead. Matthew C. Ward is the author of Breaking
the Backcountry: The Seven Years’ War in Virginia and Pennsylvania, 1754–65.

T. E. Lawrence
The Enigma Explained
Andrew Norman
A searching yet sympathetic portrait of an extraordinary figure attempts to explain his fascinat-
ing personality and choices.
Everyone has heard of T. E. Lawrence—soldier, scholar, author of Seven Pillars of Wisdom, and transla-
tor who led the Arab Legions in their revolt against the Turks. However, it is the mind of Lawrence that
holds the greatest fascination. What made this man, a success by any standards, suddenly decide at the
height of his fame and power to bury himself in the lower ranks of the army and shun the honors be-
stowed upon him by a grateful nation? Those who have sought to understand the mind of Lawrence have
often denigrated him unfairly. Can we now, after all these years—he died in a tragic motorcycle accident
in 1935—even begin to understand his complex psyche? Andrew Norman is the author of several books,
including Adolf Hitler: The Final Analysis; Agatha Christie: The Finished Portrait; and Robert Mugabe:
Teacher, Revolutionary, Tyrant.

The Will to Survive

Three and a Half Years as a Prisoner of the Japanese
Arthur Godman
Illustrations by Ronald Searle, and Philip Meninsky
The compelling story of the life and conditions of prisoners of war working on the Burma-Siam
railway during World War II.
“A remarkable memoir.” —Daily Telegraph

Taken prisoner after the fall of Singapore in 1942, Arthur Godman spent the next three-and-a-half
years on the Burma-Siam railway, living in camps along the River Kwai. Like other POWs, he ex-
perienced disease and malnutrition and witnessed the painful deaths of many of his comrades. Yet
somehow he retained his sense of humor and perspective, recalling, among the casual cruelties in-
flicted by the Japanese, small acts of kindness between guards and prisoners that enabled him to
retain his faith in humanity. This glimpse of the terrifying world of the POW includes pictures by
two other famous artists who were captives. Arthur Godman wrote more than 40 books on science
and mathematics. Ronald Searle is an artist and cartoonist whose work has appeared in Life and the New Yorker. Philip Menin-
sky was an artist. Searle and Meninsky were also POWs.

Rasputin
An Introduction
Harold Shukman
The perfect introduction to the man whose dark arts caused scandal across Russia.
Accessible and authoritative, this biography covers the truth behind the shadowy fig-
ure of Gregory Rasputin. Rasputin features in Russian history as a malign and destructive
force, a man with an unhealthy influence on the Empress Alexandra and undue power
in Russian politics. Yet his purposes were ostensibly beneficent. An uneducated peas-
ant, he left Siberia to become a wandering “holy man” and soon acquired a reputation
as a healer. The empress was desperate to find a cure for hemophilia from which her
son Alexei suffered, and in 1905 Rasputin was presented at court. His positive effect
on the heir’s health made him indispensible. But his religious teachings were unortho-
dox, and his charismatic presence aroused in many ladies of the St. Petersburg aristocracy
an exalted response, which he exploited sexually. Shady financial dealings added to the
atmosphere of debauchery and scandal, and he was also seen as a political threat when
he was assassinated in 1916. Harold Shukman is the author of Agents for Change, Re-
defining Stalinism, and Stalin’s Generals.

The Bedford Triangle

US Undercover Operations from England in World War Two
Martin W. Bowman
The true story of the daring undercover operations behind enemy lines by British
and U.S. forces, with firsthand accounts offering a glimpse into the shadowy
world of the Allied secret services.
The U.S. Army Air Force (USAAF), American Office of Strategic Services (OSS),
and British Special Operations Executive (SOE) jointly played a crucial part in
operations behind enemy lines in occupied Europe during World War II. Milton
Ernest Hall, a country house in Bedfordshire and official UK headquarters of the
U.S. Army Airforce Service Command, was located at the heart of a network of
top-secret Allied Radio and propaganda transmitting stations, political warfare
units, and undercover American and British formations dealing in espionage and
subterfuge. Martin Bowman draws upon revealing firsthand accounts and offi-
cial documentary evidence to provide tantalizing glimpses of the cloak and dag-
ger operations. The author’s extensive research has revealed that Allied Secret Service
organizations participated in even more unorthodox activities, such as clandes-
tine propaganda and political warfare. He also reveals the truth behind what re-
ally happened to legendary band leader Glenn Miller. Martin W. Bowman is the
author of more than 60 books on military and commercial aviation, including B-
17 Flying Fortress Units of the Eighth Air Force and P-51 Mustang vs Fw 190.

Mao Zedong
Delia Davin
For readers wanting to understand the development of modern China, this accessible history
offers a new insight into the man who transformed Chinese politics.
2009 is the 60th anniversary of the birth of the People’s Republic of China, formed
by Mao
Mao Zedong—first chairman of the People’s Republic of China, one of the founders of the Chinese
Communist Party, and the architect of the Cultural Revolution—was active in Chinese politics for
most of his 82 years, and became one of the most important revolutionary figures in the 20th cen-
tury. He spent the 1920s and 1930s struggling to build the party. After the establishment of the Peo-
ple’s Republic, he strove to impose his vision of socialism on his impoverished country, convinced that
if the power of the people could be harnessed China could become an economically successful and
egalitarian country. The Great Leap Forward, which he initiated was, however, a disaster resulting in
millions of deaths. Mao used the Cultural Revolution to reimpose his authority, his critics were per-
secuted, and a personality cult was fostered. His Little Red Book sold more than 740 million copies. Here an eminent historian
offers the reader a powerful insight into the life and work of this unique man. Delia Davin has written a number of books on
China, including Internal Migration in Contemporary China and Woman-Work: Women and the Party in Revolutionary China.

World War II
A Military History
Alan Warren
The 16 most decisive battles of World War II are chronicled, from the Blitzkrieg of Poland to the
fall of Berlin.
In World War I many battles on the western front lasted weeks or months, often degenerating into gla-
cial and indecisive campaigns of attrition. By the 1930s, however, military science had recreated the pos-
sibility of a decisive battle. An unprecedented rate of technological change meant that a stream of new
inventions were readily at hand for military innovators to exploit. Aircraft, armored vehicles, and new
forms of motorized transport became available to make possible a fresh style of offensive warfare when
the next European war began in 1939. A belief in the importance of effective war fighting was vital to
the Nazi vision of Germany’s future. Nazi Germany’s political and military leaders aimed for rapid and
decisive victory in battle. From 1939 to 1945, new ideologies and new machines of war carried destruction
across the globe. Alan Warren is the author of the Singapore 1942: Britain’s Greatest Defeat.

SOE’s Ultimate Deception

Operation Periwig
Fredric Boyce
Inventive, audacious, and truly incredible—the story of the invention of an underground German
resistance movement, which helped the Allies to victory.
In the closing months of World War II, General Eisenhower exhorted the western Allied forces to
redouble their efforts to break the German will to resist. In considering this appeal, General Gub-
bins, whose Special Operations Executive was making a significant contribution to the liberation
of occupied territory, was faced with a fundamental difficulty in the case of Germany. Although op-
position to Nazism was present in some areas, it was neither organized nor pro-Allied. Then some-
one had the idea of creating an entirely fictional German resistance movement and “selling it” to
the Nazi security authorities. From January until April 1945, SOE rained propaganda leaflets on
the hapless population fleeing the ruins of their cities and the oncoming Allied ground forces; they
broadcast messages to the “resistance;” they planted the most scandalous lies about eminent Nazis;
and at the end they even dropped four agents on fictitious missions. This imaginative response to
Ike’s exhortation and the sheer audacity of the operation itself demand to be told to a wider audience. Fredric Boyce is the coau-
thor of SOE: The Scientific Secrets.

The Machine Gun Story
Chris McNab
From the author of How to Survive Anything, Anywhere, a look at
the weapon that changed the face of warfare—how it works and what
it has meant for how we fight.
Warfare truly entered the industrial age with the invention and adop-
tion of the machine gun. Armed with a machine gun, one or two men
could potentially hold off a whole company of enemy soldiers, and in-
flict terrible losses while doing so. Describing how Hiram Maxim’s late
19th-century invention went on to transform the ways that armies and
air forces fought, this book explains each stage in the technical devel-
opment of machine guns and how submachine guns developed as a more
portable offshoot, with their own set of consequences. While the tacti-
cal implications of machine guns are explored, the book never shrinks
from the dark history of how machine guns have been used, whether fired from a trench on the western front in WWI or from
a helicopter circling over the jungles of Vietnam. Featuring some of history’s most famous small arms, such as Vickers, MG42,
M2HB, and Uzi, this history will appeal to all those interested in World War II and the history of land warfare and small arms.
Chris McNab is a writer and editor who specializes in military history and technology. He has published more than 30 books,
including The Great Book of Guns, The Illustrated History of the Vietnam War, Modern Military Uniforms, and The SAS Men-
tal Endurance Handbook.

The Assassins
The Story of Medieval Islam’s Secret Sect
W. B. Bartlett
They have a reputation in the popular imagination as drug-crazed fanatics who mur-
dered their enemies and terrorized the medieval world—this book separates fact from
fiction and shows that the Islamic assassins of history are just as interesting as the
assassins of legend.
“More to Lewis’s story than one of terror and bloodshed . . . a fascinating glimpse
into an extraordinary and unsettling world.” —Kirkus Reviews UK
“An excellent work of popular history geared to general readers, but scholars will
appreciate both the accuracy and insight Bartlett displays.”
—Booklist on An Ungodly War
The so-called “Assassins”—men who had no fear of death and were trained to kill—
are one of the most spectacular legends of medieval history. Since the tales of Marco
Polo and others, the myths surrounding them have been fantastically embellished and
the truth has become ever more obscure. Bartlett’s popular history deftly traces the ori-
gins of the sect out of the schisms within the early Islamic religion and examines the
impact of Hasan-i-Sabbah, its founder, and Sinan—the legendary “Old Man of the Moun-
tain.” Following the group over the next two centuries, this book includes its clash with
the crusaders, its near destruction at the hands of the Mongols, and its subsequent his-
tory. Finally, we discover how the myths surrounding the Assassins have developed over
time, and why indeed they continue to have such an impact on the popular imagina-
tion. W. B. Bartlett is a medieval historian whose other titles include The Crusades, God
Wills It!, Islam’s War Against the Crusaders, The Last Crusade, The Road to Armageddon,
and An Ungodly War.
