Between Man and BeastA Tale of Exploration & Evolution

Monte ReelThe unbelievably riveting adventure of an unlikely young explorer whoemerged from the jungles of Africa with evidence of a mysterious, stillmythical beast--the gorilla--only to stumble straight into the center of thebiggest debate of the day: Darwin's theory of evolution In 1856 Paul Du Chaillu marched into the equatorial wilderness of West Africadetermined to bag an animal that, according to legend, was nothing short of amonster. When he emerged three years later, the summation of his efforts onlyhinted at what he'd experienced in one of the most dangerous regions on earth.Armed with an astonishing collection of zoological specimens, Du Chaillu leaptfrom the physical challenges of the jungle straight into the center of the biggestissues of the time--the evolution debate, racial discourse, the growth of Christianfundamentalism--and helped push each to unprecedented intensities. Heexperienced instant celebrity, but with that fame came whispers -- about his past,his credibility, and his very identity--which would haunt the young man. Grand inscope, immediate in detail, and propulsively readable, Between Man and Beastbrilliantly combines Du Chaillu's personal journey with the epic tale of a worldhovering on the sharp edge of transformation.

Key Points/QuotesBestselling Category:Part armchair adventure, part detective story, partscientific history, this book will mesmerize fans of The Lost City of Z, The Tiger,and Age of Wonder (to name a few) with a narrative that is every bit as electrifyingas it is important to our understanding of this incredibly fertile moment in historyEnduring Debates:The evolution debate, modern racial discourse, Christianfundamentalism, the first conservation movement--Du Chaillu's meteoric rise andfall intersected with each at critical moments and influenced them foreverMasterful Portrait of an Unlikely Hero--With A Secret Past:Standing under fivefoot three and weighing 100 pounds, Du Chaillu was not your typical Victorianexplorer, but it's his unusual past--shrouded in mystery--that pulls the story in anunexpected direction and provides yet another layer of suspense. Cameos From Darwin to Dickens:Du Chaillu mingled with the giants of the agewhile his gorillas became a source of fascination to Sir Richard Burton,Thackeray, Lincoln, T. H. Huxley, P.T. Barnum, and Tennyson. Mega Authors Are Already Weighing In With Raves: "A fascinating,wide-ranging tale" says Candice Millard; "A rip-snorting adventure story, shotthrough with intrigue and absorbing intellectual history," applauds Mitchell Zuckoff;"Part swashbuckling jungle story, part gaslit Victorian time capsule...Visceral andvaptivating," says Benjamin Wallace.

Child of VengeanceA Novel

David KirkA bold and vivid historical epic of feudal Japan, based on the real-lifeexploits of the legendary samurai Musashi Miyamoto Japan in the late sixteenth century was a land in turmoil. Lords of the greatclans schemed against one another, served by aristocratic samurai bound to themby a rigid code of honor. Bennosuke is a high-born but lonely youth living in hisancestral village. His mother died when he was a young boy, and his powerfulwarrior father Munisai has abandoned him for a life of service to his lord, Shinmen.Bennosuke has been raised by his uncle Dorinbo, a Buddhist monk who urges theboy to forgo the violence of the samurai and embrace the contemplative life. ButBennosuke worships his absent father, and when Munisai returns, gravely injured,Bennosuke is forced to confront truths about his family's history and his own placein it. These revelations soon guide him down the samurai's path--awash withblood, bravery, and vengeance. His journey will culminate in the epochal battle ofSekigahara, in which Bennosuke will first proclaim his name as MushashiMiyamoto. This rich and absorbing epic explores the complexities of one youngman's quest while capturing a crucial turning point in Japanese history withvisceral mastery, sharp psychological insight, and tremendous narrativemomentum.

Key Points/QuotesROOTED IN JAPANESE HISTORY: Musashi Miyamoto, Japan's greatest samurai, isknown for his famous treatise on strategy, tactics, and philosophy: The Book of FiveRings (the Japanese equivalent of The Art of War). A VISCERALLY POWERFUL NARRATIVE WITH A COMPLEX HERO: We're given asamurai's-eye view, both gripping and grisly, but the novel is many cuts above yourstandard-issue military fiction, driven by character and relationships. COMBINES THE SWEEP OF JAMES CLAVELL WITH THE BATTLEFIELD BRIO OFSTEVEN PRESSFIELD: Shogun meets Gates of Fire is a good way to pitch the book.FIRST IN A SERIES: Doubleday has signed up the next novel based on Miyamoto's life,set at the beginning of the mighty Tokugawa Shogunate.

"A fascinating, exciting book, beautifully observed. Kirk avoids clichés atevery turn, and creates characters of great depth. An absolute gem." --ConnIggulden, author of Genghis: Birth of an Empire "A brilliant piece of historical fiction--loaded with treachery andbetrayal--that pulses with life. This one is going to find an honored place onmany a keeper shelf. It's a must-read debut from an exciting new voice."--Steve Berry, author of The Columbus Affair

Days That I'll RememberSpending Time with John Lennon and Yoko Ono

Jonathan CottJonathan Cott met John Lennon in 1968 and was friends with him and YokoOno until John's death in 1980.

The Dispensable NationAmerican Foreign Policy in Retreat

Vali NasrFormer State Department advisor for Afghanistan and Pakistan andbestselling author Vali Nasr delivers a sharp indictment of America's flawedforeign policy and outlines a new relationship with the Muslim world andwith new players in the changing Middle East. In this essential new book, Vali Nasr argues that the Obama administration hada chance to improve its relations with the Middle East, but instead chose to pursueits predecessor's questionable strategies there. Nasr takes readers behind thescenes at the State Department and reveals how the new government's fear ofpolitical backlash and the specter of terrorism crippled the efforts of diplomaticgiants, like Richard Holbrooke and Hillary Clinton, to boost America's founderingcredibility with world leaders. Meanwhile, the true economic threats, China andRussia, were quietly expanding their influence in the region. And a second ArabSpring is brewing--not a hopeful clamor for democracy but rage at the UnitedStates for its foreign policy of drones and assassinations. Drawing on his in-depthknowledge of the Middle East and firsthand experience in diplomacy, Nasr offers apowerful reassessment of American foreign policy that directs the country awayfrom its failing relationships in the Middle East (such as with Saudi Arabia) towardmore productive, and less costly, partnerships with other foreign allies (such asTurkey). Forcefully persuasive, Vali Nasr's book is a game changer for America asit charts a course in the Muslim world, Asia, and beyond.

Key Points/QuotesINSIDER ACCOUNT OF THE STATE DEPARTMENT: Vali Nasr gives readers a rarelook deep inside the State Department and reveals how its hands were tied by theirresolute Obama administration in crucial negotiations with Pakistan, Afghanistan, Egypt,Turkey, Iran, and more.HIGHLY INFLUENTIAL AUTHOR: Nasr is the author of the New York Times bestseller The Shia Revival, which was widely hailed as essential to understanding regional andsectarian conflicts during the Iraq War.

HarvestA Novel

Jim Crace A remote English village wakes on the morning after harvest, looking forwardto enjoying a hard-earned day of rest and feasting. But two mysterious columns ofsmoke mar the sky, raising alarm and suspicion. The first column of smoke comes from the edge of the village land, sent as asignal by newcomers to announce their presence as per regional custom. Thesecond smoke column is even more troubling: it comes from a blaze set in MasterKent's stables. Walter Thirsk, a relative outsider in the village, casts his eye onthree local boys and blames their careless tomfoolery. The rest of the villagers,though, close ranks against the strangers rather than accuse one of their own.Two men and a woman are apprehended; their heads are shaved to mark theircriminality; and the men are thrown into the stocks for a week. Justice has beenserved. Or has it? Meanwhile, another newcomer has been spotted in the village sporting thefiner clothes and fashionable beard of a townsman. Mr. Quill, as the villagersname him, observes them closely and takes careful notes about their land,apparently at Master Kent's behest. It is his presence more than any other that willthreaten the village's entire way of life. In effortless, expertly crafted prose, Jim Crace details the unraveling of bucoliclife in the face of economic progress. His tale is timeless and unsettling, evoking arichly textured world you will remember long after you finish reading.

Robert OppenheimerA Life Inside the Center

Ray MonkRevered biographer Ray Monk solves the enigma of Robert Oppenheimer'slife and personality and brilliantly illuminates his contribution to therevolution in twentieth-century physics. In Robert Oppenheimer, Ray Monk delves into the rich and complexintellectual life of America's most fascinating and elusive scientist, the father of theatomic bomb. As a young professor at Berkeley, the wealthy, culturedOppenheimer finally came into his own as a physicist and also began a period ofsupport for Communist activities. At the high point of his life, he was chosen tolead the Manhattan Project and develop the deadliest weapon on earth: theatomic bomb. Upon its creation, Oppenheimer feared he had brought mankind tothe precipice of self-annihilation and refused to help create the far more powerfulhydrogen bomb, bringing the wrath of McCarthyite suspicion upon him. In thecourse of famously dramatic public hearings, he was stripped of his securityclearance. Drawing on original research and interviews, Monk traces the widerange of influences on Oppenheimer's development--his Jewishness, his socialisolation at Harvard, his love of Sanskrit, his radical politics. This definitive portraitfinally solves the enigma of the extraordinary, charming, tortured man whosebeautiful mind fundamentally reshaped the world.

Key Points/QuotesA Figure of Enduring Fascination Seen Anew: Poets, novelists, scriptwriters,and even librettists have been drawn to Oppenheimer. Knopf's AmericanPrometheus by Kai Bird and Martin Sherwin won the 2006 Pulitzer Prize. Still, RayMonk believes no one has offered "an indelible image of his personality," akin toBoswell's Life of Johnson, until now.

A Revered Biographer: Ray Monk's two biographies are among the best of thetwentieth century. His Ludwig Wittgenstein was awarded the Duff Cooper Prize forthe best nonfiction work published in English. (Past winners include RobertSkidelsky, John Keegan, and Adam Hochschild.)

A Fresh Take and a Science Audience: Unlike Bird and Sherwin, who are moredrawn to the political story, Monk fully explains Oppenheimer's contribution to therevolution in physics during the twentieth century. He explores Oppenheimer'srelationships with the giants of physics--Niels Bohr, Paul Dirac, WernerHeisenberg, Max Born--and sets out to make challenging concepts thrillingly clear.

About the Author/IllustratorAuthor Residence: EnglandRAY MONK is professor of philosophy at the University of Southhampton and theauthor of two previous biographies, Ludwig Wittgenstein: The Duty of Genius, forwhich he was awarded the 1991 Duff Cooper Prize for best work of nonfiction inEnglish, and a two-volume biography of Bertrand Russell. He lives in England.

With Charity for AllThe Terrible Truth of Charitable Failure

Ken SternThe former head of a major nonprofit reveals the surprising failings of thecharitable world--a shocking 1.4 million separate organizations that make up10 percent of the U.S. economy. Counterintuitive, provocative, compulsivelyreadable, With Charity for All creates a new paradigm that will transformevery American's relationship to their end-of-year giving. During his years running a major nonprofit, Kenneth Stern became aware thatworking for a nonprofit was like entering a looking-glass world where themarketplace incentives were utterly perverse. Far from wanting to grow and adaptits business to changing times, his board seemed most concerned with catering toeccentric donors and maintaining the status quo. The experience set him on ajourney to explore the vast and unaccountable world of U.S. charities. From watercharities that serve Africa to the policemen who provide drug education in publicschools, from the Metropolitan Opera to college bowl games, he discovers a huge,mostly well-meaning charitable sector that is nonetheless hobbled by deepstructural flaws. Unlike private corporations, which respond to market signals andadjust strategies and even go out of business when they fail, nonprofitorganizations have a very low barrier to entry (the IRS approves 99.5% ofapplications) and once begun basically never die. Even groups that rate charitiesuse deeply flawed measures, such as the percentage spent on overhead costs, ameasure that actually deters charities from making much-needed investments.The stories of charities that spend millions despite never even cracking theproblems they set out to solve (most water charities, sad to say) are devastating.But it's not all bad news. Stern also explores a growing movement towardnonprofit accountability and effectiveness and offers a prescription for individualgiving and for wholesale reform.

Key Points/QuotesA 'Big Idea' Book: Like Fast Food Nation or The Omnivore's Dilemma, Sternfinds an American outrage hiding in plain sight. Like the food we eat, thecharitable sector touches nearly every American.

High-Profile Cases: Stern analyzes the failings of well-known charities, such asthe Red Cross, D.A.R.E., and water charities, in a candid, readable style.

Billions Are At Stake: Each year tax exemptions and deductions amount to a$20 billion dollar subsidy to charities. Change is in the air, with the U.S.government and private donors beginning to question the status quo.

You Are Not ForgottenThe Story of a Lost World War II Pilot and aTwenty-First-Century Soldier's Mission to Bring HimHome

Bryan BenderAn inspiring and epic tale of loss and redemption about two Americanservicemen: a Marine Corps pilot who was shot down in WWII and themodern-day soldier determined to bring home his remains six decades later Major George Eyster V comes from a long line of military officers, datingback to the Revolutionary War. Army service was George's family legacy, but histour of duty in Iraq left him disillusioned and questioning. He was making plans toend his army career but was offered a posting to J-PAC, an elite division armedwith the latest detection and forensic technology. J-PAC's sole mission is to fulfill asolemn promise at the heart of the military code: bring all fallen soldiers home tothe country for which they gave their lives. In 1944 Captain Ryan McCown, a dashing young Marine aviator assigned tothe USS Nassau, was shot down over the jungles of Papua, New Guinea.McCown's diaries and letters home to his family and fiancée provide a moving,powerful portrait of the fears and costs of a very different war and underscore thepathos of the ultimate cost of duty. Eyster's mission with J-PAC eventually took him and his team deep into thesweltering interior of New Guinea in search of McCown's remains. It would be afraught mission, complete with tropical diseases and black magic, at the end ofwhich Eyster would not only repatriate a fallen veteran and fulfill a promise todeliver him to his loved ones but would also uncover something lost in himself--asense of purpose in a promise between soldiers that is still worth fighting for.

Key Points/QuotesA TALE OF TWO HEROES: George Eyster V is a compelling and thoughtful centralcharacter, and McCown's story is brought to powerful life by his diaries and letters home. ENDURING POPULARITY OF MILITARY NARRATIVE NONFICTION: There is alreadya large audience of military members and veterans, WWII buffs, and readers of popularhistory for which this book is a perfect match. Not only a war story but an adventurestory, this multifaceted look at the remarkable efforts made by the military to recoverthose missing in action is an amazingly inspirational tale of war heroes past and present.LARGE MIA/POW SUPPORT COMMUNITY: 88,000 soldiers, airmen, sailors, andMarines have been listed missing in action since WWII. There are men and women onJ-Pac's list in communities across the country, and this book offers the families of themissing an opportunity to tell their stories.INCREDIBLE REAL-LIFE CHARACTERS: The members of George Eyster's J-Pac teamcould be the cast of a CSI military spinoff, including Dr. Benedix, the laboratoryanthropologist with a mischievous streak, and Bald Eagle, the Native American soldierwho carries with him the warrior ethos of his Lakota ancestors.
