Shane Bauer, Sarah Shourd, Josh Fattal
A Sliver of Light
Three Americans Imprisoned in Iran
Three young Americans captured by Iranian forces and held in captivity

for two years tell their story.
In summer 2009, Shane Bauer, Josh Fattal, and Sarah Shourd were
hiking in Iraqi Kurdistan when they unknowingly crossed into Iran and
were captured by a border patrol. Accused of espionage, the three
Americans ultimately found themselves in Tehran’s infamous Evin
Prison, where they discovered that pooling their strength of will and
relying on each other were the only ways they could survive.
In this poignant memoir, “the hikers” finally tell their side of
the story. They recount the deception that lured them into Iran in the
first place and describe the psychological torment of interrogation and
solitary confinement. We follow them as they make surprising alliances

with their fellow prisoners and even some of their captors, while their
own bonds with each other are tested and deepened. Told through a

Dayo Olopade
The Bright Continent
Breaking Rules and Making Change in Modern Africa
An exciting new voice offers a fresh portrait of Africans thriving in the
face of adversity, showing the way forward for development on the
continent and beyond.
For years Dayo Olopade struggled to reconcile the American media’s

image of Africa as warring, impoverished, and pitiful with the Africa
she’s known since childhood: resilient, joyful, and innovative, a continent
of impassioned community leaders. She reports firsthand on the
explosion of commercial opportunities and technological innovations
that are improving outcomes for families, children, and the environment.
The Bright Continent joins the conversation started by authors
such as Jeffrey Sachs, Nicholas Kristof, and Dambisa Moyo. Olopade
rejects stale and ineffectual foreign interventions, arguing that the
increasingly globalized challenges the continent faces can and must be
addressed with the tools Africans are already using to solve these

Nicole Mones
Night in Shanghai
“Nicole Mones conjures up the jazzfilled, complex, turbulent world of
Shanghai just before World War II. A rich and thoroughly captivating
read.”—Gail Tsukiyama, author of The Samurai’s Garden
Sailing to Shanghai in 1936 to lead a black jazz orchestra, Thomas

Greene goes from being flat broke in segregated Baltimore to living in a
mansion with servants of his own, and from the classical piano pieces he
was trained to play to the toe-tapping swing of the big band era.
Song Yuhua is refined, educated, and bonded since age
eighteen to Shanghai’s most powerful crime boss in payment for her
father’s gambling debts. Outwardly submissive, she burns with rage,
longs for escape, and risks her life spying on her master for the
Communist Party.

The Homing Instinct
Meaning and Mystery in Animal Migration
From one of the finest naturalists and writers of our time, a captivating
exploration of the homing instinct in animals—and what it means for

Acclaimed scientist and author Bernd Heinrich has returned every year

Heinrich explores the fascinating science chipping away at the
mysteries of animal migration: how geese imprint true visual landscape
memory; how scent trails are used by many creatures, from fish to insects
to amphibians, to pinpoint their home if they are displaced from it; and
how the tiniest of songbirds are equipped for solar and magnetic
orienteering over vast distances. Most movingly, Heinrich chronicles the

Jessye Norman
Stand Up Straight and Sing!
One of America’s most admired and decorated artists tells her inspiring
life story, from the segregated South to the world’s greatest stages.
Jessye Norman is not only one of the world’s most admired and beloved
opera stars—she is an American icon whose life story is as moving and
inspiring as the fictional plot triumphs she sang onstage.
Born and raised in Augusta, Georgia, a descendant of many
generations of hardworking slave and free ancestors, she grew up amid
the challenges of Jim Crow racism with the civil rights movement just
beginning to awaken. Nurtured by a close family and tight-knit
community centered on the local church, Jessye sang songs and spirituals
constantly, never dreaming that it might lead to a career. Only when she

Wonderland
A breakout book from a novelist of "expertly spun sentences" (Elle),
Wonderland gives us our first fictional view into the life of a female rock
star, centering on that moment when we decide whether to go allin or

Anna Brundage is a rock star. She is tall and sexy, with a powerhouse
voice and an unforgettable mane of red hair. She came out of nowhere, an
immediate indie sensation. And then, life happened.
Anna went down as fast as she went up, and then walked off the
scene for seven years. Without a record deal or clamoring fans, she sells a
piece of her famous father’s art to finance just one more album and a
European comeback tour.
Anna is forty-four. This may be her last chance to cement her

The Mantle of Command
FDR at War, 19411942
A dramatic, eyeopening account of how FDR took personal charge of
the military direction of World War II — a book that will completely
change the way we think about Roosevelt as commander in chief
Based on years of archival research and interviews with the last surviving
aides and Roosevelt family members, Nigel Hamilton offers a definitive
account of FDR’s masterful—and underappreciated—command of the
Allied war effort. Hamilton takes readers inside FDR’s White House
Oval Study—his personal command center—and into the meetings where
he battled with Churchill about strategy and tactics and overrode the
near mutinies of his own generals and secretary of war.
Time and again, FDR was proven right and his allies and
generals were wrong. When the generals wanted to attack the Nazi-
fortified coast of France, FDR knew the Allied forces weren’t
ready. When Churchill insisted his Far East colonies were loyal and

A novel of extraordinary emotional power—of a loveofalifetime
marriage, a murder, and its uncanny aftermath—from National Book

“After my wife, Elizabeth Church, was murdered by the bellman

Alfonse Padgett in the Essex Hotel, she did not leave me.”
Sam Lattimore meets Elizabeth Church in 1970s Halifax, in an

is dear, erotically charged, and brief. In Howard Norman’s spellbinding
and moving novel, the gleam of the marriage and the circumstances of
Elizabeth’s murder are revealed in heart-stopping increments. Sam’s life

An elite Special Forces team infiltrates an Afghan war zone on

When Corporal Elijah Russell’s superb horsemanship is revealed during

a firefight in northern Iraq, the young Army Ranger is assigned to an
elite Special Forces unit preparing to stage a secret mission in eastern
Afghanistan. Elijah’s task is to train the Green Berets — fiercely loyal to
their enigmatic commander, Captain Wynne — to ride the horses they
will use to execute this mission through treacherous mountain terrain.
But as the team presses farther into enemy territory, the nature of their
operation only becomes more mysterious and Wynne’s charismatic
power takes on a darker cast. Ultimately, Elijah finds himself forced to
make a choice: on one side, his best friend and his most deeply held

beliefs; on the other, a commanding officer driven by a messianic zeal for
his mission.

The Arsenal of Democracy
FDR, Ford Motor Company, and Their Epic Quest to Arm

A dramatic, intimate narrative of how Ford Motor Company went from
making automobiles to producing the airplanes that would mean the
difference between winning and losing World War II
In 1941, as Hitler’s threat loomed ever larger, President Roosevelt

realized he needed weaponry to fight the Nazis—most important,
airplanes—and he needed them fast. So he turned to Detroit and the auto
industry for help.
The Arsenal of Democracy tells the incredible story of how
Detroit answered the call, centering on Henry Ford and his tortured son
Edsel, who, when asked if they could deliver 50,000 airplanes, made an
outrageous claim: Ford Motor Company would erect a plant that could
yield a “bomber an hour.” Critics scoffed: Ford didn’t make planes; they

Deep
Uncovering the Secrets of the Ocean and Ourselves
The ocean’s depths contain wondrous biology and clues to unimagined
human abilities, as intrepid researchers and athletes are now
discovering.
The deep sea remains Earth’s final frontier. And as James Nestor reveals,
adventurous scientists’ current quests to solve the mysteries of the ocean
are transforming not only our knowledge of the planet and its creatures,
but also our understanding of the human body and mind. Over the course
of the book, Nestor journeys from the ocean’s surface — where the
extreme sport of freediving pushes the boundaries of human physical
endurance — to its greatest, most otherworldly depth, 35,000 feet below
sea level at the bottom of the Marianas Trench. Along the way he finds

Drinking gets a lot more interesting when you know what’s actually

fungus called yeast binges on sugar molecules and poops out ethanol.
Humans have been drinking the results for 10,000 years. Distillation is a

Big Little Man
In Search of My Asian Self
An awardwinning writer takes a groundbreaking look at the experience
and psyche of the Asian American male.

Why do so many people find Asian women sexy but Asian men sexless?
Alex Tizon’s family emigrated from the Philippines when he
was four. He quickly learned to be ashamed of his face, his color, his
physical size. In movies and on television he saw Asian men as “servants,
villains, or geeks, one-dimensional, powerless, sneaky little men.” His
fierce and funny observations of sex and the Asian American male include
the story of his own college life in the 1980s, a tortured tutorial on just
how little sex appeal accrued to the Asian man.
And then, two transformations. First, Tizon’s growing

have prevented. Scapegoated, Eddy is exiled to his hometown just

redeem his disgraced family name.
Then one night Harkness’s police-issue Glock disappears.

How Chicago's Legendary Black Newspaper Changed
America
The history of black America in the twentieth century, told through the
lens of one of journalism’s great success stories
Giving voice to the voiceless, the Chicago Defender had a reach and
influence extending far beyond Chicago. The newspaper and the family
behind it condemned Jim Crow, catalyzed the Great Migration, fostered
the integration of the U.S. armed forces in the wake of World War II,
and laid the groundwork for the civil rights movement. Over the years,
the Defender’s staff included an unparalleled collection of writers,
intellectuals, and activists: Ida B. Wells, Langston Hughes, W.E.B. Du
Bois, and Jesse Jackson were among the better-known bylines, but there
were hundreds of less celebrated reporters at the paper who braved lynch
mobs and policemen’s clubs to get their stories.
Through the depth of his research, veteran reporter Ethan

James Carroll
Warburg in Rome
From the bestselling author of Constantine's Sword, a powerfully
imagined novel that mines the dark and littleknown history of postwar
Rome, the Vatican, and Italy’s surviving Jews
David Warburg, newly minted director of the U.S. War Refugee Board,
arrives in Rome at war’s end, determined to bring aid to the destitute
European Jews streaming into the city. Marguerite d’Erasmo, a French-
Italian Red Cross worker with a shadowed past, is initially Warburg’s
guide to a complicated Rome; while a charismatic young American
Catholic priest, Monsignor Kevin Deane, seems equally committed to
aiding Italian Jews. But the city is a labyrinth of desperate fugitives,
runaway Nazis, Jewish resisters, and criminal Church
figures. Marguerite, caught between justice and revenge, is forced to play
a double game. At the center of the maze, Warburg discovers one of
history’s great scandals—the Vatican ratline, a clandestine escape route

Nick Jans
A Wolf Called Romeo
The unlikely true story of a sixyear friendship between a wild, oddly
gentle black wolf and the people and dogs of Juneau, Alaska
No stranger to wildlife, Nick Jans had lived in Alaska for nearly thirty
years. But when one evening at twilight a lone black wolf ambled into
view not far from his doorstep, Nick would finally come to know this
mystical species—up close as never before.
A Wolf Called Romeo is the remarkable story of a wolf who
returned again and again to interact with the people and dogs of Juneau,
living on the edges of their community, engaging in an improbable, awe-
inspiring interspecies dance and bringing the wild into sharp focus. At
first the people of Juneau were guarded, torn between shoot first, ask
questions later instincts and curiosity. But as Romeo began to tag along
with cross-country skiers on their daily jaunts, play fetch with local dogs,
or simply lie near Nick and nap under the sun, they came to accept

Lost Spaces, Secret Cities, and Other Inscrutable
Geographies
A beautiful tour of the world’s hidden geographies—from disappearing
islands to forbidden deserts—and a stunning testament to how
mysterious the world remains today
The real-life answers to Italo Calvino’s Invisible Cities, Unruly Places

explores the most extraordinary, off-grid, offbeat places on the planet.
Alastair Bonnett’s tour of the planet’s most unlikely micro-nations,
moving villages, secret cities, and no man’s lands shows us the modern
world from surprising new vantage points, bound to inspire urban
explorers, off-the-beaten-trail wanderers, and armchair travelers. He
connects what we see on maps to what’s happening in the world by
looking at the places that are hardest to pin down: inaccessible zones,
improvised settlements, multiple cities sharing the same space.

Jan Swafford
Beethoven
Anguish and Triumph
The definitive book on the life and music of Ludwig van Beethoven
Jan Swafford’s biographies of Charles Ives and Johannes Brahms have

established him as a revered music historian, capable of bringing his
subjects vibrantly to life. His magnificent new biography of Ludwig van
Beethoven peels away layers of legend to get to the living, breathing
human being who composed some of the world’s most iconic music.
Swafford mines sources never before used in English-language
biographies to reanimate the revolutionary ferment of Enlightenment-era
Bonn, where Beethoven grew up and imbibed the ideas that would shape
all of his future work. Swafford then tracks his subject to Vienna, capital
of European music, where Beethoven built his career in the face of
critical incomprehension, crippling ill health, romantic rejection, and
“fate’s hammer,” his ever-encroaching deafness. Throughout, Swafford
offers insightful readings of Beethoven’s key works.

Powers of Two
Finding the Essence of Innovation in Creative Pairs
A revelatory synthesis of neuroscience, social psychology, and cultural
history that shows how onetoone collaboration drives creative success
Recently writers like Malcolm Gladwell, Steven Johnson, and Clay

Shirky have sought to explain creativity as the work of lucky,
hardworking people or the result of certain qualities of a particular
environment or group of people. Joshua Wolf Shenk shows how such
notions, as appealing as they are, miss the essence of creativity, which is
generated by people working in pairs.
From John Lennon and Paul McCartney to Pierre and Marie
Curie to Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak, Shenk portrays many of history’s
most iconic creative duos, drawing on new scientific research and
building an argument that will reshape our view of the individual,
relationships, and society itself. Along the way, he reveals how pairs
begin to talk, think, and even look like each other; how the most

Karin Fossum
I Can See in the Dark
From a master of suspense comes a Kafkaesque mystery that is eerie,
unpredictable, and completely compelling.
Riktor doesn’t like the way the policeman storms into his home without
even knocking. He doesn’t like the arrogant way he walks around the
house, taking note of its contents. The policeman doesn’t bother to
explain why he’s there, and Riktor is too afraid to ask. He knows he’s
guilty of a terrible crime and he’s sure the policeman has found him out.
But when the policeman finally does confront him, Riktor
freezes. The man is arresting him for something totally unexpected.
Riktor doesn’t have a clear conscience, but the crime he’s being accused
of is one he certainly didn’t commit. Can he clear his name without
further incriminating himself?
This is a gripping, mind-bending stand-alone novel from “a
truly great writer” (Jo Nesbø).

Margaret Fuller
A New American Life
“Pitches Ms. Marshall into the front rank of American biographers . . .
Margaret Fuller is as seductive as it is impressive . . . It delivers a lovely
and bumpy comingofage story, one of the best such stories nineteenth
century America has to offer.” —New York Times
Pulitzer Prize finalist Megan Marshall recounts the trailblazing life of

Margaret Fuller: Thoreau’s first editor, Emerson’s close friend, daring
war correspondent, tragic heroine. After her untimely death in a
shipwreck off Fire Island, the sense and passion of her life’s work were
eclipsed by scandal. Marshall’s inspired narrative brings her back to
indelible life.
Whether detailing her front-page New-York Tribune editorials

illuminating her late-in-life hunger for passionate experience—including
a secret affair with a young officer in the Roman Guard—Marshall’s

“An excellent start to what promises to be a fine series.”—Guardian
The debut of a new voice in crime fiction, mixing gritty procedural with
thrilling mystery in the dark parts of Edinburgh
A young girl’s mutilated body is discovered in a room that has lain sealed
for the last sixty years. Her remains are carefully arranged in what seems
to have been a macabre ritual.
For newly appointed Edinburgh Detective Inspector Tony
McLean this baffling cold case ought to be a low priority—but he is
haunted by the young victim and her grisly death. Meanwhile, the city is
horrified by a series of bloody killings. Deaths for which there appears
to be neither rhyme nor reason, and which leave Edinburgh’s police at a

loss.
McLean is convinced that these deaths are somehow connected

The Book of Souls
The second electrifying mystery in the Detective Inspector McLean

Every year for ten years, a young woman’s body was found in Edinburgh
at Christmas time: naked, throat slit, body washed clean. The final
victim, Kirsty Summers, was Detective Constable Tony McLean’s
fiancée. But the Christmas Killer made a mistake, and McLean put an

It’s twelve years later. A fellow prisoner has just murdered the
incarcerated Christmas Killer. But with the arrival of the festive season
comes another body. A young woman: naked, washed, her throat cut.
Is this a copycat killer? Was the wrong man behind bars all this

A Dying Fall
“Combines an intriguing plot with welldrawn characters—topped by

Richmond TimesDispatch
When Ruth Galloway learns that her old university friend Dan Golding
has died in a house fire, she is shocked and saddened. But when she
receives a letter that Dan had written just before he died, her sadness
turns to suspicion.
The letter tells of a great archaeological discovery, but Dan also
says that he is scared for his life. Was Dan’s death linked to his find? The
only clue is his mention of the Raven King, an ancient name for King
Arthur.
When she arrives in Lancashire, Ruth discovers that the bones

Part biography, part cultural history, The Creation of Anne Boleyn is a

“It’s not often that baseball aficionados and gossip gluttons can plunk

When Terry Francona took over as manager of the Boston Red Sox in
2004, the storied franchise hadn’t won a World Series championship in
eighty-six years. Led by Francona, the team won two over the course of
four years. During the full eight years of Francona’s tenure, the Red Sox

“If you are looking for a bracing alternative vision of physics built from

“At once entertaining, thoughtprovoking, fabulously ambitious, and

What is time?
It’s the sort of question we rarely ask because it seems so
obvious. And yet, to a physicist, time is simply a human construct and an
illusion. If you could somehow get outside the universe and observe it
from there, you would see that every moment has always existed and
always will. But in Time Reborn, Lee Smolin disagrees.

Italo Calvino’s unbounded curiosity and masterful imagination are

displayed in peak form in Collection of Sand, the last of his works
published during his lifetime. Here, Calvino applies his encyclopedic
mind to the delights of the visual world, in essays on subjects ranging
from cuneiform and antique maps to Mexican temples and Japanese

Into the War
“Revealing . . . The translation catches Calvino’s wry, lapidary, and

worked profound moral and ethical points into his narratives—are all
here.”—Times Literary Supplement
The three short stories of Into the War, set in Italy in the summer of
1940, draw on Italo Calvino’s own memories of the Second World War.
Through the eyes of adolescent narrators, these stories record the
buildup of Mussolini’s Fascist Youth forces, the looting of an occupied
French town, and the experiences of reluctant conscripts in the Italian
army. Appearing here in its first English translation, Into the War is one
of Calvino’s only works of autobiographical fiction, and it offers not only
a glimpse of this writer’s extraordinary life, but also a snapshot of
Calvino’s developing literary style at an early point in his career.

The Winthrop Woman
“Abundant and juicy entertainment.”—New York Times

“The Winthrop Woman is that rare literary accomplishment — living

In 1631 Elizabeth Winthrop, newly widowed with an infant daughter,

set sail for the New World. Against this background of rigidity and

courage and vitality, Governor John Winthrop came to refer to this
woman in the historical records of the time as his “unregenerate niece.”

Howard Norman
I Hate to Leave This Beautiful

“Unexpectedly arresting . . . a memoir that makes its own quietly
dazzling little universe.”—New York Times Book Review
“Uses the tight focus of geography to describe five unsettling periods of
his life, each separated by time and subtle shifts in his narrative voice . . .
the originality of his telling here is as surprising as ever.”—Washington
Post
Howard Norman’s spellbinding memoir begins with a portrait, both

harrowing and hilarious, of a Midwest boyhood summer working in a
bookmobile, in the shadow of a grifter father and under the erotic
tutelage of his brother’s girlfriend. His life story continues in places as
far-flung as the Arctic, where he spends part of a decade as a translator of

When World War I ended over one million American vets came home,
and every town in the nation built a memorial in hopes that the
unprecedented conflict would never be forgotten. Yet, over the next
century, it was.
Ten years ago, Richard Rubin set out to interview every last

The Ludwig Conspiracy
“Oliver Pötzsch has hatched a narrative redolent of Alfred Hitchcock’s
best romantic thrillers, replete with mindboggling ciphers, distinctive
villains, secret societies (exotic yet historically accurate), and other
pleasures both sensual and cerebral.”—James Morrow, author of The

In 1886, Ludwig II, the fairytale king of Bavaria, was deposed after being
declared insane by doctors who had never met him. He died
mysteriously soon thereafter, his eccentric and beautiful castles his only
legacy.
Master of historical suspense Oliver Pötzsch brings the Mad
King back to life in The Ludwig Conspiracy. An encoded diary by one of

Numbers in the Dark
“Numbers in the Dark is a glorious grab bag . . . with gems from every
phase in Calvino’s career.”—San Francisco Sunday Examiner and Chronicle
Book Review
“The curious quirks that would shape Calvino’s eccentric orbit can be
descried, along with the exuberant talent and sense of magic that would
make that orbit a flaming one.”—Los Angeles Times
The stories in Numbers in the Dark span the breadth of Italo Calvino’s
career and attest to his mastery of short fiction. Beginning with early
works set in Italy during World War II, and drawing on Calvino’s
experiences as an antifascist partisan fighter, the collection moves into the
more experimental territory that would define his later work. Here are
speculative stories on life in the digital world, genre-bending wonders,
and “impossible interviews” with the likes of Montezuma and a

Six Memos for the Next

“One of the most rigorously presented and beautifully illustrated critical
testaments in all of literature.”—Boston Globe
“A brilliant, original approach to literature, a key to Calvino’s own work
and a thoroughly delightful and illuminating commentary on some of the
world’s greatest writing.”—San Francisco Chronicle
At the time of his death, Italo Calvino was at work on six lectures setting
forth the qualities in writing he most valued, and which he believed
would define literature in the century to come. Here, in Six Memos for the
Next Millennium, are the five lectures he completed, forming not only a
stirring defense of literature, but also an indispensable guide to the
writings of Calvino himself. He devotes one “memo” each to the

Assembled and published posthumously, The Road to San Giovanni

offers Calvino’s reflections on his own life and work. These five elegant

evocation of the author’s relationship with his father — couched in a

“It’s Calvino and the classics, so how can you lose? This book serves as a

mean so much to readers, and Calvino is a most knowledgeable guide to
all the best destinations.”—San Francisco Examiner and Chronicle
For Italo Calvino, classics are works of enduring cultural value, yes, but
also something much more personal: talismans, touchstones, books
through which we understand our world and ourselves. In Why Read the
Classics?, Calvino shares thirty-six of his classics in essays of warmth,
humor, and striking insight. He ranges from Homer to Borges, from the

The Rise of Superman
Decoding the Science of Ultimate Human Performance
An exploration of how extreme athletes break the limits of ultimate
human performance and what we can learn from their mastery of the
state of consciousness known as “flow”
In this groundbreaking book, New York Times–bestselling author Steven

Kotler decodes the mystery of ultimate human performance. Drawing on
over a decade of research and firsthand interviews with dozens of top
action and adventure sports athletes such as big–wave legend Laird
Hamilton, big–mountain snowboarder Jeremy Jones, and skateboarding
pioneer Danny Way, Kotler explores the frontier science of “flow,” an
optimal state of consciousness where we perform and feel our best.
Building a bridge between the extreme and the mainstream, The
Rise of Superman explains how these athletes are using flow to do the
impossible and how we can use this information to radically accelerate
our performance in our own lives.

Bakersfield. It’s four (or more) books in one, a Pynchonesque treat: a

Hidden
When a married man suffers a sudden fatal accident, two women are
shattered—his wife and his mistress—and past secrets, desires, and
regrets are brought to light.
While walking home from work one evening, Jeff Manning is struck by a
car and killed. Not one but two women fall to pieces at the news: his wife,
Claire, and his coworker Tish. Reeling from her loss, Claire must
comfort her grieving son and deal with funeral arrangements, well-
meaning family members, and the arrival of Jeff’s estranged brother—her
ex-boyfriend—Tim.
With Tish’s coworkers in the dark about her connection to Jeff
outside the workplace, she volunteers to attend the funeral on the
company’s behalf, but only she knows the true risk of inserting herself
into the wreckage of Jeff’s life. Told through the three voices of Jeff,

Resource Revolution
How to Capture the Biggest Business Opportunity in a
Century
How smart companies are redefining the use of natural resources to
drive quantum growth and productivity in the twentyfirst century—
and how you can too—by two top McKinsey consultants
What do shale gas, Elon Musk’s Tesla, and the global apparel chain Zara
share in common? In Resource Revolution, management experts Stefan
Heck and Matt Rogers describe how each in its own way exemplifies a
resource revolution—a use of natural resources so effective it defies
conventional wisdom and enables breakthrough performance where
others see only limits and shortcomings.
Resource Revolution shows how to take what is being seen as a
worldwide crisis and turn it into the biggest business opportunity of the

past one hundred years. The rapid urbanization of a new 2.5-billion-

Incendiary Girls
Stories
For fans of Karen Russell and Hannah Tinti, a debut collection of stories
inspired by science, medicine, and the power of healing with a magical
twist
Incendiary Girls explores our baser instincts with vivid imagination and
humor. In these stories, our bodies become strange and unfamiliar
terrain, a medium for transformation. In “Fundamental Laws of Nature,”
a doctor considers her legacy, both good and bad, when she discovers
that her mother has been reincarnated as a thoroughbred mare. In the
title story, a mischievous angel chronicles the remarkable life of a girl just
beyond death’s reach.
In Scheer’s hands, empathy and attachment are illuminated by
the absurdity of life. When our bodies betray us, when we begin to feel
our minds slip, how much can we embrace without going insane? How
much can we detach ourselves before losing our humanity? Scheer’s

Lucian Freud
Eyes Wide Open
A riveting life of the brilliant British artist, one of the greatest figurative
painters of the twentieth century
Phoebe Hoban, author of authoritative biographies of Jean-Michel

Basquiat and Alice Neel, now turns her attention to Lucian Freud (1922–
2011), grandson of Sigmund and one of the greatest painters England has
produced.
Hoban follows Freud from his birthplace in Berlin to London
(where he moved as a boy in the 1930s) and shows him with Picasso and
Giacometti during a brief sojourn in Paris in his twenties. She illuminates
how he developed his mature style, which produced meticulously
detailed images that include portraits of his famously beautiful first two
wives and his artist friends (among them the painter Francis Bacon) as
well as Kate Moss and Queen Elizabeth II.
Freud worked tirelessly in his studio and spent as long as several

A moving memoir about a man, desperate to get his life back on track,

When journalist Robert Andrew Powell finished his first marathon, he

The Leap
The Science of Trust and Why It Matters
Bestselling author Ulrich Boser explores the science behind our innate
tendency to trust others, and how we and the institutions we rely on can
benefit from restoring trust
Trust is central to almost every human interaction—and even small

attempts to improve our faith in others can have a big payoff. People who
trust more are happier, live longer, and even have more sex.
To examine how and why we trust, Ulrich Boser visits a radio
soap opera in Rwanda that aims to restore a nation’s broken faith and
talks to the man who brought honesty back to one of the most corrupt
cities in Latin America. He tests out oxytocin, the “trust hormone,” and
has scientists evaluate his brain as he competes in a cooperation game. He
even jumps out of an airplane to better understand his trust in others. The
result is a surprising narrative that will appeal to a wide audience,
including readers who enjoy books like Nudge, Willpower, and

Twelve new stories about the stuff that really matters—fresh fruit and

Paradise. “I want to describe my genuine circumstances on the occasion

herself “somewhere like a very big grocers . . . a supermarket full of sex.”
Kennedy hilariously explores the comic possibilities of fake genitalia

The Surprising Influence of the Real World on How We

The surprising ways in which the physical world around us influences

what we buy and consume online, by Wharton professor and consumer
shopping behavior expert David R. Bell
Conventional wisdom holds that the Internet makes the world flat and
reduces friction, erasing the impact of the physical world on our buying
habits.
But Wharton professor and marketing expert David R. Bell
argues that the way we use the Internet is largely shaped by the physical
world that we inhabit. Anyone can go online and buy a pair of pants—but
the likelihood that we would do so depends to a significant degree on
where we live. The presence of stores nearby, trendy and friendly

Stories
A poignant and inventive collection of comingofage stories by Tin
House and Best New American Voices contributor Sean Ennis
In this beautifully imaginative collection, young people attempt to

negotiate the often surreal terrain of childhood and adolescence where
family, friends, clergy, and teachers often pose a threat instead of
providing safe harbor. At the heart of the collection is the relationship
between the meek narrator, his best friend alpha-male Clip, and the near-
feral Roger—but there are also agoraphobic mothers, gorgeous
babysitters from New Zealand, paranoid stoned veterans, and deeply sad
older sisters.
Ennis has crafted modern day captivity narratives, set not at
some remote fort, but in the neighborhoods of Philadelphia. Using
cinematic imagery and deft characterization, Ennis explores how we
often feel confined and yet, find ourselves in places we least expect.

J.D. Salinger
A Disciple's Quest
An eccentric, deeply personal inquiry into the nearmythic life and
canonical work of J.D. Salinger
Three years after his death at ninety-one, J.D. Salinger remains our most
mythic writer. The Catcher in the Rye (1951) became an American
classic, and he was for a long time the writer for The New Yorker. Franny
and Zooey and Raise High the Roof Beam, Carpenters introduced, by way
of the Glass family, a new type in contemporary literature: the
introspective, voluble cast of characters whose stage is the Upper East
Side of New York. But fame proved a burden, and in 1963 Salinger fled
to New Hampshire, spending the next half century in isolation.
Beller has followed his subject’s trail, from his Park Avenue
childhood to his final refuge, barnstorming across New England to visit
various Salinger shrines, interviewing just about everyone alive who ever
knew Salinger. The result is a quest biography in the tradition of Geoff

The Fracking King
A Novel
A new kind of environmental novel about boarding school, hardcore
Scrabble fanatics, and fracking—by a chief strategist for Common Cause
The Fracking King follows Winston Crwth—a boarding-school kid,

loner, and Scrabble prodigy—who becomes an unlikely hero in the fight
to stop fracking in Pennsylvania. Truth is a rare commodity in politics,
and the idea of “winning” a debate as cleanly and simply as you’d win a
Scrabble game can seem impossible. But with the truth on his side, a jar
of toxic “frackwater,” and the belief that he can win a Scrabble
tournament whose first prize is a meeting with the governor, Winston
creates a moment of devastating truth for her and for the people who
want to frack the state.
For all its thoughtful environmental concerns, The Fracking
King is also a hopeful book about the power of believing in yourself and

Edgar Allan Poe
The Fever Called Living
A fresh take on the tumultuous, creative life of Edgar Allan Poe
Today the name Edgar Allan Poe invokes a tragic genius whose mastery
of horror seems inexorably tied to his tormented life. But in his own
time, Poe was above all a craftsman—an editor and reviewer desperately
trying to earn a living by transmuting the wild ephemera of early
Victorianism into innovations in science fiction, horror, and detective
literature. Indeed, the crime thriller would not exist without Poe’s sleuth
Dupin, the deductive genius of “Murders in the Rue Morgue” and “The
Purloined Letter.”
With brilliant scholarship and storytelling verve, Paul Collins
delves into Poe’s life and his professional world, from his stormy
relationship with his rich adoptive father and interest in cryptograms to
hits such as “The Raven” and flops like Eureka, his late-career crank
literature outing. Edgar Allan Poe is an informative and supremely

The Power of Negative Thinking
An Unconventional Approach to Achieving Positive
Results
One of the greatest coaches of all time makes the argument for realistic
preparation—in sports and in life—as an antidote to thoughtless
optimism and wishful thinking.
Even before Norman Vincent Peale’s The Power of Positive Thinking,

Americans were famous for their optimism. But there are two sides to any
contest—and there’s always a loser, no matter how much positive
thinking occurs on both sides.
In this pragmatic and inspirational book, legendary firebrand
coach Bob Knight, the second-winningest coach in NCAA history, turns
conventional thinking on its head. Famous for transforming even the
unruliest players into focused, disciplined teammates, Knight argues that
the greatest leaders anticipate and prepare for a negative scenario. They
succeed by expecting things to go wrong at any moment, and by building

Kimberly Rae Miller is an immaculately put-together woman with a great

You would never guess that behind the closed doors of her family’s
