Eamonn Fingleton  

Eamonn Fingleton
IN THE JAWS OF THE DRAGON: America's Fate in the Coming Era of Chinese Hegemony

Eamonn Fingleton demonstrates once again why his analyses of modern capitalism deserve serious attention. He identifies the elements of China's business model that depart sharply from easy Western assumptions -- and he lays out the consequences of seeing China the way outsiders would like it to be, rather than the way it is.  James Fallows, The Atlantic Monthly.

The more heavily that U.S. media conglomerates invest in China, the more vulnerable they become to Chinese pressure to censor their reportage. As Fingleton shows, what we don't know can hurt us. This is a fascinating book with truly unique insights. Pat Choate, author of Agents of Influence

WHEN CATS REIGNED LIKE KINGS: On the Trail of the Sacred Cats

Ms. Geyer’s colorful history illuminates the noble cats of ages past and their progression to more egalitarian American felines. Dr. Zbigniew Brzezinski

New York Times Bestseller (hardcover, and e-book)!
Publishers Weekly Bestseller! 
Gerald Loeb Award Finalist
IRE Finalist
FT/Goldman Sachs Business Book of the Year Nominee

Riveting reading. . . . [Henriques] probably knows more than anyone outside the FBI and the Securities and Exchange Commission about the mechanics of the fraud. As a consequence, in THE WIZARD OF LIES she is able to add significant detail to the story. . . . In the end the story holds us not because of the engrossing details of the scam, but because of the human dimension. The New York Times Book Review

Henriques offers an impressive, meticulously reported postmortem not only of the Ponzi scheme but also of Madoff's entire career. . . . THE WIZARD OF LIES is the definitive book on what Madoff did and how he did it. Bloomberg Businessweek

Cogent and well researched. Financial Times

Many revelations in Diana Henriques’ stunning new book THE WIZARD OF LIES:  Bernie Madoff and the Death of Trust…masterful narrative. Reuters

   
 

Harold Holzer
A JUST AND GENEROUS NATION: Abraham Lincoln and the Fight for American Opportunity (with Norton Garfinkle)

Holzer and Garfinkle have written a stimulating book, remarkable in its ability to make pragmatism work in the service of principle. The New York Times Book Review

Harold Holzer and Norton Garfinkle provide an important public service by reminding us that Lincoln's hatred of slavery and devotion to the Union rested on a bedrock belief that free society and activist democratic government could offer free laborers the opportunity to rise up the social ladder, and by showing that in our time of rising inequality, that promise is in danger of being betrayed. Eric Foner, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Fiery Trial: Abraham Lincoln and American Slavery

Harold Holzer and Norton Garfinkle's concise study brilliantly shows all the ways the modern Republican Party has trashed the legacy of Abraham Lincoln--not only on racial justice but on the economics of the American dream. Here is exacting and responsible history put to good purpose, dispelling the amnesia and the myths that plague our public life. Sean Wilentz, author of The Rise of American Democracy: Jefferson to Lincoln

THE MARINE CORPS WAY TO WIN ON WALL STREET: 11 Key Principles from Battlefield to Boardroom

In THE MARINE CORPS WAY TO WIN ON WALL STREET, Ken Marlin lays out a compelling vision to improve Wall Street by returning to solid core values like taking the long view, behaving with honor, delivering excellence and working for a cause greater than money. Joe Mansueto, CEO of Morningstar; owner, Inc. and Fast Company

The attributes and virtues that have brought success to the Marine Corps since 1775 - honor, commitment, sacrifice, adherence to standards, striving to achieve a common purpose, unparalleled individual and organizational expertise, and team work - are not exclusive to Marines. They will work in almost any endeavor and especially on Wall Street. Ken Marlin hit a home run in describing just how that can and should be done. Lt. General Robert R. Blackman, Jr., CEO, Marine Corps Heritage Foundation

Ken Marlin's book, THE MARINE CORPS WAY TO WIN ON WALL STREET, should be required reading by CEOs on Main Street as well as bankers on Wall Street – and those who would do business with them. The parallels between the Marine Corps teaching and success in the competitive financial sector are real. I've seen it first-hand. Michael Geltzeiler, CFO ADT and former CFO New York Stock Exchange

EVIDENCE OF LOVE

Melissa McConnell writes with the nuance and control of a true insider. The New Yorker

I found EVIDENCE OF LOVE mesmerizing. The prose -- at once elegiac, ironic and ambiguous -- is an engine that drives McConnell's complicated tale with terrific acceleration. John Lahr

This first novel is a beautifully written story questioning what we really know about those we love and lyrically detailing the loss of love and the grieving process. Booklist

GETTNG AWAY WITH MURDER: Benazir Bhutto's Assassination and the Politics of Pakistan

This is a chilling account of deceit, corruption and murder at the highest levels of power in Pakistan, an American ally. A carefully researched and compelling tale of tragedy masked as a government. Tom Brokaw

Muñoz has written a brilliant, incisive and page turning book—the last word on Benazir Bhutto's assassination. The murder of Benazir Bhutto shook a nation and the world but until now there has never been an authoritative explanation as to how and why she died.  Ahmed Rashid, author of Pakistan on the Brink: The Future of America, Pakistan, and Afghanistan

The book is essential reading for all who want to understand more about the state of Pakistan and the fate of one of its most talented daughters. Helen Clark, administrator of UNDP and former prime minister of New Zealand

Ben Philippe
THE FIELD GUIDE TO THE NORTH AMERICAN TEENAGER
CHARMING AS A VERB

William C. Morris YA Debut Award Winner!

A witty debut with whip-smart dialogue that will find much love among fans of authors like John Green and Jason Reynolds. School Library Journal (Starred Review)

In Philippe’s funny debut, 16-year-old black French-Canadian Norris Kaplan must navigate life and love in Austin, Tex., after he and his mother move there... Philippe has a gift for dialogue and touches on a few instances of racism with sensitivity and humor in this crowd-pleaser. Publishers Weekly

I suspect, though, that [THE CATCHER IN THE RYE] wouldn’t be such a phenomenon if it debuted today… It’s no longer tenable to imagine that the anxieties of a white heterosexual young man expelled from an expensive prep school capture the spirit of our era. Today’s snarky young anti-hero instead looks like Norris, the black French Canadian boy in THE FIELD GUIDE TO THE NORTH AMERICAN TEENAGER. Ron Charles, The Washington Post

TALKING DIRT: The Dirt Diva's Guide to Organic Gardening

While offering plenty of sound and sensible organic gardening advice, Spiegelman lightens the load with quippy asides and pithy observations that make the reading experience feel more like a casual conversation with a good, green-thumbed friend than a lecture from a stuffy horticulturist. All joking aside, it’s evident Spiegelman knows whereof she speaks. Booklist

Timothy Stanley  

Timothy Stanley
CITIZEN HOLLYWOOD: How the Exchange of Favors Between LA Stars and DC Presidents Revolutionized Politics

CITIZEN HOLLYWOOD is a very good read and digs quite deep, with sharp cultural and political analysis and relevant interviews. Stanley provides texture and depth on the nexus of Hollywood entertainment and Washington politics, both conservative and liberal, and offers a sobering critique of the president as 'leading man.' Brian Neve, author of Film and Politics in America 

Tempered by a soupçon of cynicism and delivered with more than a dollop of snark, Stanley's inquiry reveals both how our politicians have become carefully packaged products and the depth of Hollywood's impact upon democracy. Booklist 

Smart and far-ranging.... Stanley's book is witty and entertaining, and does a thorough job of illustrating the ways in which Hollywood works Washington, the ways Washington works Hollywood, and the ways both are subject to the surprisingly unpredictable whims of the American public. National Review
