Brian FaganELIXIR: A HISTORY OF WATER ANDHUMANKINDJune 2011 *World Rights

~loomsbUl:_y~ess ~anuscriptAvailableSOLD: BUK (U.K.)

Brian Fagan's Elixir: A History of Water andHumankind spans five millennia, from thebeginnings of civilization to the IndustrialRevolution, when we started to turn water into acommodity. Fagan explores how the role ofwater in modern society has deep roots in thedistant past. Circa 2500 B.C., aqueducts wateredfields in Sumer and the Indus Valley-and also

supplied fountains, baths, and latrines. Some Sumerian homes had water-flushed latrines connected to a sewer system-a convenience that didn't returnuntil four thousand years later. Northern Europeans suffered a millennium ofdisease and squalor after Roman sanitation and sewage advances wereforgotten. European civilization would not emerge from the Dark Ages untilclean water was widely available.

Moving from simple early cultures to great agrarian societies to the beginningour industrial world, Fagan traces the long and often troubled relationshipbetween humans and their water supplies. Drawing on his training as anarchaeologist, Fagan explains history's lessons: The only way to ensureadequate clean water is to understand water as a finite resource, and further, tomake water conservation a fundamental concern. Elixir explains how waterrituals lie at the center of daily life-and, in a telling lesson for presentenvironmental challenges, how they are essential for sustainability.

Brian Fagan is an emeritus professor of anthropology at the University ofCalifornia, Santa Barbara. His books on the interaction of climate and humansociety have established him as a leading authority on the subject and helectures frequently around the world. He is the author of the New York Timesbestseller The Great Warming: Climate Change and the Rise and Fall ofCivilizations, The Little Ice Age, The Long Summer, and Fish on Friday.

*World Rights*Manuscript Available

For almost five millennia, in every culture and every major religion, indigo-ablue pigment obtained from the small green leaf of a parasitic shrub through acomplex process that even scientists still regard as mysterious-has been oneof the world's most valued colors.

Indigo is the story ofthis precious dye and its ancient heritage: its relationshipto slavery as the "hidden half" of the trans-Atlantic slave trade, its profoundspiritual and sartorial significance that is little recognized but no less alivetoday (blue jeans, anyone?). It is an untold story, brimming with rich,electrifying tales of those who shaped the course of 20th-century colonialhistory and a world economy. But Indigo is also the story of a personal quest:McKinley is the descendant of a clan of Scots who wore indigo tartan as theirvirile armor; the kin of several generations of Jewish "rag traders"; thematernal granddaughter of a Massachusetts textile factory owner; and she's apaternal granddaughter of African slaves-her ancestors were traded along thesame Saharan routes as indigo, where a length of blue cotton could purchasehuman life. McKinley's journey in search of beauty and her own history beganwith a Fulbright fellowship to research indigo; it ultimately leads her to a newand satisfying path, to finally "taste life."

The Gulf Coast's Mississippi Delta was recentlyrecognized as the only place on earth withoyster reefs that can support sustainable fishing.Oysters, shrimp, and fish thrive in the nutrient-rich marshes, reefs, and wetlands, creating anarea as fertile as it is beautiful. Around thisnatural wealth, a culture as unique as the reefs

themselves has grown. In New Orleans, Cajun cooking and coastal culturehave forged a place in our national identity and our economy.

The oil industry has long insisted that that they can drill along these shoreswithout harm, but as they quietly dredged canals through the wetlands, theywere destroying an acre of Louisiana marsh every half hour. Over 2,000 squaremiles have already been lost. After the catastrophic BP Deepwater spill, thesepractices can no longer escape public scrutiny. In Shadows on the Gulf,Jacobson provides us with a wide perspective on the presence of drilling alongthe Gulf, and what impact the recent spill will have on the ecosystem-including human life in the region. Combining deep ecological understandingwith on-the-ground reporting and stirring first-person accounts, Jacobsenpersonalizes what has become the greatest environmental disaster in recenttimes, and contextuaLizes it in a Longhistory of inexcusable practices-and aneven longer history of beauty and bounty. Shadows on the Gulfmakes the casethat the future of the Gulf depends not only on breaking from the grip of BigOil, but in truly respecting those other natural resources that give the region itsvalue.

------"'-WorlcLRights*Manuscript Available

A new paradigm shift is roiling the environmentalworld. For decades people have unquestioninglyaccepted the idea that our goal is to preservenature in its pristine, pre-human state. But manyscientists have come to see that this concept is anoutdated dream that prevents us from having a

fuller relationship with nature and thwarts bold new plans to save theenvironment.

Humans have changed and managed the landscapes they inhabit sinceprehistory, and climate change means even the remotest places now bear thefingerprints of humanity. Nature will never get back to its original state (whichMarris argues may not always be a bad thing), so why waste time and efforttrying? The new model is the "rambunctious garden," a hybrid of wild natureand human influence.

In this optimistic book, readers meet leading scientists and environmentalistsand visit imaginary Edens, designer ecosystems, and empty lot jungles. Marrisdescribes the new approaches, including rewilding, assisted migration, and theso-called novel ecosystems.

Rambunctious Garden is short on gloom and long on interesting theory andfascinating narratives, all of which bring home the idea that we must give upour romantic notions of pristine wilderness and replace them with the idea of aglobal, half-wild rambunctious garden, tended by us. We have forever alteredthe earth. We can't now abandon it to fate.

In the five-hundred-million-year history of life on this planet, there have beenfive so-called mass extinction events. There is evidence now that a sixth isunder way, with the earth already losing as many as two hundred species perday. The cause, of course, is human activity.

What this bleak future will truly hold, though, is much in dispute. Will ourimmune systems be attacked by so-called super bugs, always evolving, andnow more easily spread than ever? Will the disappearance of so many speciescripple the biosphere? Will global warming transform itself into a runawayeffect, destroying ecosystems across the planet? In this provocative andsobering book, Fred Guterl examines each of these scenarios, laying out theexisting threats, and proffering the means to avoid them.

This book is more than a tour of an apocalyptic future; it is a political salvo, anantidote to well-intentioned but ultimately ineffectual thinking. Though it'shonorable enough to switch light bulbs and eat home-grown food, the scope ofour problems, and the size of our population, is too great. And so, Guterlargues, we find ourselves in a trap: Technology got us into this mess, and it'salso the only thing that can help us survive it.

Endgame is a fascinating view of a future we all want to avoid, as well as anurgent call to action. With vivid description and penetrating intelligence,Guterl shows just where our future is heading, and ultimately lights a pathtoward safe harbor.

In the last three years, more than 11,000 people have been killed in drug-trafficking-related violence in Mexico. That staggering number is not amisprint-the scale of the Mexican cartels and the horrifying violence of theirstruggles for turf and market share are unprecedented in the history of crime. ElNarco is filled with true stories that are stranger than fiction-hostagebeheadings that take on the aspect of ritual killings, gangsters far better armedthan federal troops, a rogue sect of Christianity devoted to a narco saint,fashion styles and music genres inspired by the cartels and their soldiers. OneMexican official was murdered six hours after taking office and announcing acrackdown on the cartels. Perhaps most shocking of all is the wholesaledefection of elite Mexican armed forces to work for, and in some cases runcartels. This is more than a crime story-El Narco has far-reachingimplications. The US Department of Homeland Security recently classifiedMexican cartels as the number one organized crime risk to public safety.

In May 2003, President George W. Bushdeclared victory in Iraq. But while we won thewar, we catastrophically lost the peace. Ourfailure prompted a fundamental change in ourforeign policy. Confronted with theshortcomings of "shock and awe," the U.S.military shifted its focus to "stabilityoperations": counterinsurgency and therebuilding of failed states. In less than a

decade, foreign assistance has become militarized; humanitarianism has beenarmed.

Combining recent history and firsthand reporting, Armed Humanitarians traceshow the concepts of nation-building came into vogue, and how, evangelizedthrough think tanks, government seminars, and the press, this new doctrinetook root inside the Pentagon and the State Department. Following thisextraordinary experiment in armed social work as it plays out fromAfghanistan and Iraq to Africa and Haiti, Nathan Hodge exposes thedifficulties of translating these ambitious new theories into action.

Ultimately seeing this new era in foreign relations as a noble but flawedexperiment, he shows how armed humanitarianism strains om resources,deepens om reliance on outsourcing and private contractors, and leads toperceptions of a new imperialism, arguably a major factor in any number ofnew conflicts around the world. As we attempt to build nations, we may in factbe weakening om own.

Color is a daily mystery we all swim in. In the cartoon strip of everyday life,panel after panel is crammed with colored objects, with every blank outlineshaded in: pencils, subways, umbrellas, ties, cherries, leaves, smoke. Color isso ubiquitous, it's invisible-until, suddenly, it's not. When we're young, redfirst means apples, fire trucks, and stop signs. Then we add lobsters, valentines,short wavelengths of light, fire, Communism, Republican states, and Chinesecelebrations.

We learn these free associations for every color everywhere. But how do weever make sense of what we actually see? What color makes our curtains lookliterary, marital, or like the British empire? In her analytical way, Stewartstockpiles the meanings of what is literally before our eyes, then lays them outfor sorting, edification, and visual delight.

In Manchuria is a narrative about a land and itspeople inspired by the family members of the author's wife: parents whoworked as "barefoot doctors" for the People's Liberation Army; a son whobecame a wealthy stockbroker after leaving home during the democracyprotests in 1989; a daughter living in Osaka; Frances, the author's wife, whoworks as an attorney in Manhattan; and Uncle Jiu, who still works on thefamily rice farm in Manchuria.

In addition to the character-driven narrative of daily life across the farm'sgrowing seasons, In Manchuria will also show how that life onceforeshadowed the Communist revolution, and now foreshadows the Party'sevolution. The government often tests policies in Manchuria beforeimplementing them nationwide. Civic, social, and economic policies beingpiloted in Uncle Jiu's village include political campaigns and elections forlocal government posts, a relaxation of the "one-child policy," and anabolishment of all taxes. Traveling by historic railroad, Meyer uncoversforgotten landmarks such as the Willow Palisade, the "Puppet" Emperor'sPalace, Unit 731 headquarters, and Qingyuan and Shenyang. In Manchuria is amoving chronicle and a vital window onto China's past and present.

Michael Meyer is the author of The Last Days of Old Beijing and has writtenfor the New York Times Book Review, Reader's Digest, National GeographicTraveler, Time, and many other publications. Meyer has also appeared on theToday show, CBS's Early Show, and NPR's All Things Considered, amongothers. He has lived in China for fifteen years, first as part of the Peace Corps,then as a teacher.
