An unflinching look at thehuman condition in extremeplaces around the world

“Punk-rock icon. Spoken word poet.Actor. Author. DJ. Is there anything thisguy can’t do?” —Entertainment Weekly

• Author’s previous books sold morethan 250,000 copies

For the past 25 years, Henry Rollins hasphotographed the most desolate andinhospitable corners of the Earth, andhis powerful vision has been harnessedin this photographic essay. Though he isknown for the raw power of his expres-sion, Rollins has shown that the greateststatements can be made with the simplest of acts: to bear witness; to be present. This collection is an invitation to do the same. Thebook pairs Rollins’ visceral photographs—taken in Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Burma, Cambodia, India, Indonesia, Kuwait, Kyrgyzstan,Mali, Nepal, North Korea, Northern Ireland, Saudi Arabia, Siberia, Sri Lanka, Thailand, and Vietnam—with writings that provide con-text and political commentary and thereby magnify the impact of the images. This is a visual testimony of anger, suffering, resilience inthe face of tragedy, and the quiet, stronger forces of healing, solidarity, faith, and joy.

Henry Rollins is an author, actor, speaker, and musician best known for his work with the punk rock groups Black Flag and RollinsBand. He won a Grammy for the performance of his own book Get in the Van and hosts IFC’s The Henry Rollins Show and his ownweekly radio show on KCRW out of Los Angeles. He founded and runs 2-13-61, a publishing company to release books, CDs, andDVDs. He lives in Los Angeles.

Excerpt:

“Daddy, I want something on your laptop!” These arealmost invariably the first words out my daughter Poesy’smouth when she gets up in the morning (generally at5am). Being a lifelong early riser, I have the morningshift. Being a parent in the 21st century, I worry aboutmy toddler’s screen time—and struggle with the tempta-tion to let the TV or laptop be my babysitter while I getthrough my morning email. Being a writer, I yearn toshare stories with my two-year-old. . . .

But the fun comes when we incorporate all this into ourstorytelling play. It started with Jack and the Beanstalk. I told her the story one morning while we were on sum-mer vacation. She loved the booming FEE FI FOE FUM!but she was puzzled by unfamiliar ideas like beanstalks,castles, harps and golden eggs. So I pulled up someimages of them (using Flickr image search). Later, Ifound two or three different animated versions of Jack’sstory on YouTube, including the absolutely smashingMax Fleischer 1933 version. These really interested Poesy(especially the differences between all the adaptations), so one evening we made a Lego beanstalk and had anamazing time running around the house, play-acting Jackand the Beanstalk with various stuffed animals and suchas characters.

Excerpt:

The individuals and companies profiled in the chapters that follow play a cru-cial role in our energy future, even if they fail. That’s because, like Tesla, theystill succeed by leading, by taking risks, by pursuing great leaps, and by keepingopen minds when others remain so closed. They stand in contrast to monolithiccorporations with disciplined management cultures and an aversion to disrup-tive technology. . . . But who are these people? What drives them? What goesthrough their mind? Though we see the sensational headlines that briefly shinea light on their unusual technologies—the so-called 15 minutes of fame—toooften these innovators’ stories and their contributions to the world fade into thebackground. The real learning comes out of the journey behind the headline.

Excerpt:

“Grass is all right,” she said to the boy, because he keptshoving it into her mouth, “but what I would really like is aflower, a daisy or a violet.” Then she told herself, don’t befoolish. The child can’t hear you, none of these people can.But the boy promptly got up, walked a little way from thetree, and came back to her with a bunch of violets. He satdown next to her again and fed her the violets one by one.Sometimes he even ate one himself.

“They taste good, don’t they?” said the unicorn, beforeshe suddenly realized that the little boy had understoodwhat she had said to him. “Can you hear me?” shedemanded. “Can you speak to me? Do you know what Iam?”

“Horse,” the boy answered calmly, and he would not sayanother word until they had eaten all the violets. Then helooked over the unicorn’s head and said “Mommy,” and theunicorn turned and saw a woman walking down the roadtowards them. She heard her calling to the boy.

“Child,” the unicorn said, “Child, I have nothing to giveyou, but if you can speak to me, if you can tell me wheremy people are hiding, I will think of you when there is noone left in the world to remember your name.” Then, realiz-ing that this was nothing to say to a child, she added, “AndI will take you for a ride on my back whenever you wish.”

Taking a delightful departure from his more common urban-fantasysettings, this epic tale from acclaimed author Charles de Lint weaveselements of Celtic and Nordic mythology while bringing sword andsorcery to the forefront. Summer magic is waning in the Green Isles,and the evil Icelord is encasing the lands in a permanent frost whilecoastal towns are pillaged by snake ships. Mounting one last defenseagainst the onslaught, a mysterious old wizard instructs his inexperi-enced apprentice in the art of shape-changing. Mercilessly pursuedby the Icelord’s army, this newfound mage gathers allies—a seeming-ly ordinary young woman and her protective adoptive family—andthey flee north in a desperate race to awaken the Summerlord.

Excerpt:

In those old ballads, these three are named the Keepers ofthe Isles. Two rule land; one rules sea.

Most beloved is Hafarl, the Summerlord, who rules fromBeltane until Samhain. They sing of him as being tall andstrong as a mountain’s back, with hair like green fields, eyeslike deep woods, horns sweeping from his brow like the eld-est oak in Dergwyth Wood. They tell of his long staff,Meynbos, shaped of legendary stonewood, bound threetimes with bands of swirling dhruidic runes, calendaredwith the histories of high and far times, strange as anerlkin’s riddling.

His rule was one of order—of spring leading surely intosummer’s bounty, autumn reaping her treasures with gentlereverence, their flow, season into season, like a statelydance, as old as time, though not so old as Cernunnos.

Sometimes they sing of Lothan, who rules the cold monthsof winter. He they will not name, couching their referencesin titles such as the Icelord, or the Shadowed One, or theMocker. They sing of him being as tall as his brother Hafarl,but with a voice like the howl of winter winds, and hair andeyes as bleak as whitened bone. He it is who carries thegreat sword Yaljoryon, the Deathreaper.

Gathering darkly fantastic short fiction previously available only inlimited editions, this collection explores the mysteries of souls—whether they are sacrificed on the pinnacle of Mount Parnassus orlodged in a television cable box. In a Kabbalistic tale of transforma-tion, the executor of an old friend’s will is almost duped into hous-ing his soul. In a tale of time travel between 2015 and 1975, atragedy sparked by an angel falling onto a pizza shop is reenacted—and the event is barely, but fatally, altered. The cornerstone of thecollection is a postscript to the harrowing novel of the haunting ofthe Romantic poets, The Stress of Her Regard. Once Byron andShelley break free of the succubus that claimed them, their associate,Trelawny, forges an alliance with Greek rebels to reestablish thedeadly connection between man and the nephilim. Fans of Powers’srenowned secret histories will delight as he deftly weaves an array offantastical creatures into richly layered narratives of the past.

Excerpt:

“I don’t do that work anymore,” said Torrez patiently,“ransoming ghosts. You want to call Seaweed in Corona.”

“I don’t want you to ransom a ghost,” the man said, hold-ing the box toward Torrez. “I already had old Humberto dothat, yesterday. This is for you.”

“If Humberto ransomed your daughter,” Torrez said care-fully, nodding toward the box but not taking it, “then whyare you here?”

“My daughter is not a ghost. My daughter is twelve yearsold, and this man took her when she was walking homefrom school. I can pay you fifteen hundred dollars to get herback—this is extra, a gift for you, from me, with the help ofHumberto.”

Torrez had stepped back. “Your daughter was kidnapped?Alive? Good God, man, call the police right now! The FBI!You don’t come to me with—”

“The police would not take the ransom note seriously,” theman said, shaking his head. “They would think he wantsmoney really, they would not think of his terms being sin-cerely meant, as he wrote them!” He took a deep breath andlet it out. “Here,” he said, extending the box again.

Torrez took the box—it was light—and cautiously lifted the lid.

Excerpt:

Niko stalked back to her coffee table and picked up the bright trophylying there. She eyed it carefully. The vial was shaped like an infinitysymbol, two lobes with a narrow causeway in between. It felt warm,alive, smooth like glass, perhaps some alien plastic, and was designedto be broken at the weak point and upended on the tongue. In a recentlab experiment, the virus had been diluted a hundredfold and given totest subjects without a single successful contagion, except for Rix. Norcould it be transferred from person to person in any way. The trans-mission of the virus was the greatest biological mystery in the uni-verse. Each activated sample was target specific to a single humanhost—in this case, to her alone. She had been chosen to live forever.

She tossed the vial to the table as though it was a burning ember.

Byzantium EnduresThe First Volume of the Colonel Pyat QuartetMichael MoorcockIntroduction by Alan Wall

Meet Maxim Arturovitch Pyatnitski, also known as Pyat. Tsaristrebel, Nazi thug, continental conman and reactionary counterspy:the dark and dangerous antihero of Michael Moorcock’s mostcontroversial work. Published in 1981 to great critical acclaim—then condemned to the shadows and unavailable in the UnitedStates for 30 years—Byzantium Endures, the first of the Pyat quar-tet, is not a book for the faint-hearted. It is the story of a cocaineaddict, sexual adventurer, and obsessive anti-Semite whose epicjourney from Leningrad to London connects him with scoundrelsand heroes from Trotsky to Makhno and whose career echoes thatof the 20th century’s descent into fascism and total war. This isMoorcock at his audacious, iconoclastic best: a grand sweepingoverview of the events of the last century, as revealed in the secretjournals of modern literature’s most proudly unredeemable out-law. This authoritative edition presents the author’s final cut,restoring previously forbidden passages and deleted scenes.

Excerpt:

As you read these stories you may have a number ofmixed and conflicting emotions: revulsion, nausea, angeror even rage, sadness, grief, compassion, and hope. Youmay even find yourself wanting to turn away from thesestories. We understand all of these reactions, because, inthe progression of our work first with victims and thenwith abusers, we have experienced all of them as well. . . . Throughout our years of work with victims andabusers, the sustaining emotion and belief has been hope,hope that healing and recovery are possible for all. We aresimply telling the story behind the headlines, the tragic yetvery human and ultimately hopeful story of the priestabuser and his victims. It is not our intention to write aprofessional therapy book. The heart of this book is thestories of the five priests and three victims we invited toparticipate. Though there are as many unique stories asthere are victims and priests who have abused, we believethese eight stories will provide a new window into thishuman tragedy.

Drawing from the best contemporary scholarship, bestselling authorDiarmuid O’Murchu deconstructs the history of Christianity, andspecifically the life of Jesus Christ, as it has evolved over the past twothousand years. With rich language and clear metaphors, O’Murchuspeaks to every Christian who is fed up with a revisionist Christiandoctrine based on banal ideas and who desperately seeks affirmationthat the Christian faith is a much bigger, deeper, and more challenginginstitution than churches have ever acknowledged or proclaimed.According to O’Murchu, Jesus was never an earthly prince, but ratherthe first rebel, a countercultural outsider who sought to empower theoppressed and marginalized while questioning the core beliefs of long-standing institutions—and ultimately paying a mortal price for hisconvictions. Using this portrait of Jesus, each chapter addresses arange of common human problems that Christ himself overcame,such as understanding others, resolving hostilities, discoveringempowerment by suffering, and preserving personal identity in a glob-alized world. O’Murchu’s stunning conclusions serve to reintroducethe world to the revolutionary Jesus, giving His story new life and rel-evance for the modern age.

Diarmuid O’Murchu is a graduate of Trinity College in Dublin, amember of the Sacred Heart Missionary Order, and the author ofJesus in the Power of Poetry and Quantum Theology.

Excerpt:

Jesus lived dangerously! He did not fit into the conven-tional culture of his day. He questioned many of its corebeliefs. He sought to empower the marginalized andoppressed. And he paid the ultimate price for living sodangerously. For almost two thousand years the Christianchurch sought to elevate Jesus onto a patriarchal pedestal.Jesus became the exalted divine hero, a perfect image ofthe kingly God. We had come a long way from theprophetic countercultural rebel of Galilee. Biblical schol-arship of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries seeks to reclaim what has been lost along the way. We haveoverpoliticized Jesus, but also overspiritualized him. We have made him so powerful on the one hand and so “holy” on the other that his grounded incarnationalconnection with us has been badly strained. Subliminally,we never lost it, and today it is being retrieved in a waythat brings alive once more the prophetic inspiration offoundational wisdom.

Opposing the common exclusion of God from an active role inhuman history, this work explains how His role exists and can bewitnessed in humanity’s complicated dualities—in time and space,war and peace, wealth and poverty, and love and hatred. Arguingthat history is a master plan—that God, who is reason and love,wills human existence—Dr. Pursell weaves his thesis through bothdivine revelation and specific historical events. He explains in acces-sible terms that God’s plan for human history is that of unity inopposing forces; that historical periods are secular constructs—despite human ingenuity and industrialization, all humankind ispart of one historical period under God, defined not by machinesbut by morals. In a style that is both fluid and engrossing, Dr.Pursell offers Christians and historians alike a new vision of humanhistory that is sure to inspire as much as it educates.

Brennan Pursell is a professor of history at DeSales University and isthe author of Benedict of Bavaria and The Winter King. He hasbeen interviewed for stories in the New York Times and thePhiladelphia Inquirer and has appeared on CNN, BBC, EWTN, andother television and radio outlets in the United States and abroad.He lives in Allentown, Pennsylvania.

Excerpt:

This book tells the story of humanity’s movement in time,with God as the central character. We, all people every-where, share in the same, common journey, and God,though hidden, is there, ever-present, behind and above us,on all sides, and in our very midst. . . . The narrative isChristian, because it maintains that Jesus of Nazareth waswho he said he was, did what he did, and said what he said,as far as we poor humans can know, relying mainly on theNew Testament as the best set of textual sources about him.Jesus was, and is, in some mysterious, ultimately inexplica-ble way, God and Love. This revelation, God’s self-reveal-ing to us, together with history, shows us his will forhumanity across all time.

Excerpt:

On “toleration”: Religion is a good to be embraced anddefended, not an evil to be put up with. No one speaks oftolerating chocolate pudding or a spring walk in the park.By speaking of religious tolerance, we take religion anunfortunate fact to be borne with—like noisy neighbors andcrowded buses—not a blessing to be celebrated. Here it isinstructive to recall that modern ideas of religious tolerancesprang from the European Enlightenment project. A centraltenet of this project was the notion of progress, understoodas the overcoming of the ignorance of superstition and reli-gion to usher in the age of reason and science. . . . ThePhilosophes would downplay or even ridicule religion in thefirm belief that it would soon disappear altogether. Thus,separation of Church and state becomes separation of pub-lic life and religious belief. Religion should be excludedfrom public conversation and relegated to the intimacy ofhome and chapel. Religious tolerance is therefore a myth,but a myth imposed by an anti-religious intellectual elite.

Excerpt:

On the last night of the entertainments at Warwick Castle before the court left forKenilworth, in August 1572, the guests followed a zigzag path to the top of an artificialhill, which had once been a lookout post. At the summit stood a canvas pavilion deco-rated with roses and honeysuckle. Lanterns hung at the entrance, and, inside, candles litup the walls, which were painted with flowers. From a ceiling painted with the moon,the stars and clouds, vines dangled baskets of apples, oranges and pears, some coveredwith gold leaf. Sweet-smelling herbs lined the floor.

At the back of the pavilion, Queen Elizabeth sat on a throne on a low platform,beneath a purple canopy embroidered with gold and studded with pearls. She wasdressed in white, black and gold—so was Dudley, who was telling her a story, kneelingon a velvet cushion. Diamonds sparkled in her hair. She wore a ruby and diamond ringand ropes of pearls around her neck and wrists. Her ladies-in-waiting sat at her feet.Like all of her courtiers and servants, they wore black and white (her colours, which shehad adopted as a princess, during her semi-exile from court).

Her host and hostess, Lord and Lady Warwick, stood near by (Warwick was Dudley'sbrother). Boys dressed in silk served candied fruits and spices on gold platters. Theguests drank Gascony wine, and music played in the background. To one side, Cecil wastalking to the official who had accompanied him and the Queen on her last scandalousvisit to Kenilworth.

A handwritten serial number inside a neglected 1807 Broadwoodsquare piano inspired this illuminating story of an almost-forgot-ten musical instrument that transformed the musical and culturalperceptions of the western world. Square pianos were the firstpopular pianos, and the core of the classical piano repertoire—Mozart, Haydn, Beethoven—was written for such early pianos.This absorbing history leads back to the early days of theIndustrial Revolution and the birth of mass production, com-moditization, and global distribution of pianos from the ports ofLondon to the shores of America and around the world. Both aninvestigative story and genealogical study that highlights a keyperiod in music history, this chronicle closely examines the rolesof John Broadwood—the most successful piano maker in late-Georgian London—and of one of his professional customers, Mr.John Langshaw, an organist and music master.

Madeline Goold holds a law degree from the London School ofEconomics. A sculptor and artist, she has also taught piano,which she has played since childhood.

Against the backdrop of 14th-century Europe—a time of socialturmoil, outbreaks of the bubonic plague, a catastrophic war thatdevastated the continent, and an overall transition between theMiddle Ages and the Renaissance—this biography offers an entrypoint into the life of Catherine of Siena, an oftentimes irreverent,intense, and fiery woman. Deeply researched and based on the lat-est sources, this history recalls Saint Catherine, as she would laterbe called, as a champion of peace who cajoled and, at times,begged popes, monarchs, and ordinary citizens to do her will.Describing her sheer fortitude and personal magnetism, thisabsorbing account details the spiritual and political beliefs ofCatherine of Siena as she attempted to restore order to a fracturedItalian city-state system, campaigned Pope Gregory XI in Avignonto return the papacy to Rome, and tried to resolve the WesternSchism of 1378—a challenge that proved to be her ultimate test.

Excerpt:

It was a warm and humid September afternoon on theUpper East Side of Manhattan as Guenther Reinhardt, oneof the nation’s strangest and most mysterious privatedetectives, stood at the door of the swank Park Avenueoffices of Dr. Arnold A. Hutschnecker, Vice PresidentRichard Nixon’s psychoanalyst. It was 1960, and the moststoried presidential election in American history was onlytwo months away.

Few real-life private detectives have careened through lifewith more adventure, intrigue and misery than GuentherReinhardt. By his own account, he’d covered the 1924treason trial of Adolf Hitler; predicted the Japanese attackon Pearl Harbor; witnessed the outbreak of the SpanishCivil War; busted the German-American Bund; inter-viewed Leon Trotsky’s assassin in a Mexican jail; uncov-ered the theft of billions of dollars of Reichsbank gold, andchased Communist and Nazi spies all over Europe andNorth America. But he was always broke, always scram-bling for money, and not above concocting a few facts tomake a better story—or selling the information he’d gath-ered along the way to the highest bidder.

“David’s is a unique and necessary voice forged in the growingAmerican gulag, the underbelly of the ‘land of the free,’ offering afocused and unassailable critique as well as a vision of a world thatcould be but is not yet—a place of peace and love, joy and justice.”

—Bill Ayers, author, Fugitive Days and Teaching Toward Freedom

“Like many of his contemporaries, David Gilbert gambled his lifeon a vision of a more just and generous world. His particular betcost him the last three decades in prison, and whether or not youagree with his youthful decision, you can be the beneficiary of hisyears of deep thought, reflection, and analysis on the reality we allshare. If there is any benefit to prison, what some refer to as ‘theinvoluntary monastery,’ it may well look like this book. I urge you toread it.” —Peter Coyote, author, Sleeping Where I Fall

“This book should stimulate learning from our political prisoners,but more importantly it challenges us to work to free them, and indoing so take the best of our history forward.” —Susan Rosenberg,

Excerpt:

In the early ’70s, as activists in a range of movements feltimpelled to initiate armed struggle, several were killed. Twoex-SNCC workers died in an explosion in the East, and acarload of Chicano militants blew up in the Southwest.Mourning these losses, I had no way to assess, given thenature of the times, whether these activists had been assassi-nated by police agents or had died, like our townhouse com-rades, in a flawed effort to begin armed resistance. Therewere definitely crucial lessons that had to be learned aboutstoring and handling explosives—-had infiltrators purposelysupplied them with unstable dynamite? I also wonderedwhether the police had put out deliberate disinformationabout building circuits. In those days, many anonymous tac-tical guides were in circulation. Could one have a short cir-cuit built into it? The Anarchist Cookbook, the most widelydistributed manual on tactics, was a possible candidate—butI didn’t manage to get my hands on it to analyze their dia-gram for a short. Even with my limited ability to do any-thing about this grave problem, I was extremely remiss innot pursuing the issue in a more determined way.

The Bay Area’s commune revolution

West of EdenCommunes and Utopia in Northern CaliforniaEdited by Iain Boal, Janferie Stone, Michael Watts, and Cal Winslow

In the aftermath of the Vietnam War, a large portion of the popu-lation had become disenchanted with the American way of lifethat they did not feel they belonged to. While some openlyrevolted in the streets, others took to turning away from themainstream and headed toward a new world. Utopian visions,manifesting themselves in the form of communes, were aimed atbreaking the bonds of capitalism, big business, and the reigningoligarchy and were popping up throughout the country. The SanFrancisco Bay Area was the hotbed of these communes, andfrom Height-Ashbury in San Francisco, east to Berkeley’s protesthub at Sproul Plaza, and south to Oakland’s Black Panther’scommunal households, this is an exploration of this unique cul-tural revolution of the 1960s and 1970s. The history and visionof communal living is investigated in a series of essays aimed atexplaining just what these communes were, how lives were livedwithin them, and what their goals entailed.

The rich history of leftist philosophy from theUnited Kingdom

Anarchist Seeds beneath the SnowLeft-Libertarian Thought and British Writersfrom William Morris to Colin WardDavid Goodway

“A splendid survey of ‘left-libertarian thought’ in this country, ithas given me hours of delight and interest. Though it is verylearned, it isn’t dry. Goodway’s friends in the awkward squad(especially William Blake) are both stimulating and comfortingcompanions in today’s political climate.” —A. N. Wilson,

Daily Telegraph

From William Morris to Oscar Wilde and George Orwell, left-lib-ertarian thought has long been an important but neglected part ofBritish cultural and political history. In this detailed study, DavidGoodway seeks to recover and revitalize that indigenous anar-chist tradition. This book succeeds as both a cultural history ofleft-libertarian thought in Britain and an application of that histo-ry to current politics. The author argues that a recovered anar-chist tradition could—and should—be a touchstone forcontemporary political radicals. Moving seamlessly from AldousHuxley and Colin Ward to the war in Iraq, this challenging vol-ume will energize leftist movements throughout the world.

David Goodway is a British social and cultural historian who has written principally on anarchism and libertarian socialismfor 20 years. He is the editor of For Workers’ Powers and variousother collections.

An in-depth leftist history of the Portuguese revolution

PortugalThe Impossible Revolution?Second editionPhil MailerAfterword by Maurice Brinton

“Mailer has handled masterfully the enormous cast of politi-cians, officers of the military peasant and workers councils, anda myriad of splinter parties, movements and caucuses.”

—Choice

This is the story of the political revolution in Portugal betweenApril 25, 1974, and November 25, 1975, as seen and felt by adeeply committed participant. After the military coup in Portugalon April 25, 1974, the overthrow of almost 50 years of fascistrule, and the end of three colonial wars, there followed a yearand a half of intense, democratic social transformation that chal-lenged every aspect of Portuguese society. What started as a mili-tary coup turned into a profound attempt at social change fromthe bottom up and became headlines on a daily basis in theworld media. This personal history depicts the hopes, thetremendous enthusiasm, boundless energy, total commitment,released power, and revolutionary innocence of thousands ofordinary people taking a hand in the remolding of their lives. Itdoes so against the background of an economic and social realitythat placed limits on what could be done.

One woman’s journey from Kansas farm girl to California career woman

Sunflower DaysGrowing Up in Kansas 1929–1959Jeanne Warren Lindsay


This memoir marks the metaphorical journey from independentyoung woman to wife and mother frustrated with the limits ofdomestic life, then the literal journey from the Midwest to thewest coast in pursuit of professional fulfillment. Though a prod-uct of her generation in many ways, bright, ambitious JeanneWarren Lindsay found the independence she craved in collegeand envisioned a future as a New York magazine editor. Still,society’s expectations for women proved strong, and she tradedher fantasy job for a picture-book marriage with picture-bookkids. By the end of the 1950s, however, she feared she hadevolved into a boring woman and needed to change. Only aftermoving her family to California and reinventing herself as ateacher and writer, did she finally find that previously elusivebalance between domestic and professional satisfaction. Poignantand humorous, it provides nostalgic value, as well as a positivefeminist message for modern women struggling with the oftenconflicting desires for family and career.

Excerpt:

Often overlooked in the chronology of Lee Harvey Oswald’s earthly years is that when he was 13 years old helived in New York City for a period of a about eighteen months, in 1952–1954. Astute readers will recognizethese as critical years in the development and operation of the CIA’s MK/ULTRA safe house in the city’sGreenwich Village operated by Federal Narcotics agent and CIA consultant George Hunter White. The first-floorsafe house was located at the corner of Bedford and Barrow streets (the address was 81 Bedford Street).According to a 1978 CIA document, “an elusive Frenchman who was engaged in the import-export business”owned the two-story, brick apartment house, just a short walk away from one of White’s favorite watering holes,Chumley’s, perhaps a primary reason for its selection. The building that housed the safe house was torn down sev-eral decades ago. Chumley’s, with all its ambiance and ghosts, is still there today.

Marguerite Oswald, with her son, Lee Harvey, moved to New York City from Texas in August 1952. For theirfirst several weeks there, Lee and Marguerite lived in a small apartment, located at 325 East 92nd Street. Thecramped unit was shared with Lee’s half-brother, John Edward Pic, his 18-year old wife, and their newborn child.

The truth behind the events of 9/11

Black 9/11How Cutting-Edge Technology Was Used Againstthe American People on September 11, 2001Mark H. Gaffney

The weeks following the attacks of September 11, 2001, weretraumatic for nearly every American, but for some, the answersthey received from the media and the government to explain thehorrific events was not satisfactory. Accusations of cover-ups,internal plots, and sabotage from within the ranks of the U.S.government were—and continue to be—not uncommon. Butcompelling evidence contrary to the accepted narrative has, forsome skeptics, been lacking. This investigation into the events ofthat day reveals dark secrets about United States–sponsored ter-rorism. Taking highly complex technical and scientific informa-tion, and distilling it for the consumption of the lay person, thisinquiry attempts to reveal the truth behind that infamous day.

The life story of one of the most unconventionalpoliticians in recent history

Although much has been written about his unique brand of poli-tics, very little has been told about the personal history of RonPaul, the man that many credit with being the founder of themodern Tea Party. From his formative years spent inPennsylvania and his early careers as an obstetrician and a U.S.Air Force flight surgeon to the 12 terms he has served inCongress, this comprehensive volume reveals all of the experi-ences that shaped Ron Paul into the politician he is today.Landmarks in his congressional career, such as his famously lib-ertarian voting record and his consistent clashes with bothDemocrats and Republicans, are covered in detail, while morerecent chapters chronicle Paul’s work with the Tea Party move-ment, describing its core concepts and how they stem from hisideals. Unapologetically fascinating, this account of his successesand failures demonstrates exactly what it took for Ron Paul tograb the spotlight in American politics.

VARIANT PRESS SEPTEMBERExcerpt:

Sitting in the greenroom at CNN in early 2007, Ron Paul waitspatiently as his makeup is refreshed for another interview. Sinceforming an exploratory committee in January, getting TV timehad been a challenge, and Paul had adopted a policy of notturning down a venue, no matter how hostile. The interview hehad done that morning had played to a now-familiar script.Lacking any more material on Rudy Giuliani or HillaryClinton, producers turn to the also-runs to fill airtime.Invariably, that entails introducing Paul, letting the viewersknow what a longshot he is (always—always—his campaign isreferred to as “quixotic”), and then segueing into a discussionof his “radical” views. This morning, the anchor immediatelybegan reading from a list of Paul’s positions with a growing,theatrical air of disbelief. “You want to abolish the Departmentof Education? You would do away with the FDA? You want toend the War on Drugs? You want to return to the gold stan-dard?” And, as with every interview, Paul has to patiently makehis same core philosophical argument while the interviewerbaits him and clearly delights in painting Paul as a crank.

Retracing the steps of the first civil rights and whistleblower act of the21st century, this chronicle follows young, black, MIT-educated socialscientist Marsha Coleman-Adebayo, shortly after she landed herdream job at the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Theaccount illustrates how the author attempted to convince the govern-ment to investigate allegations surrounding a multinational corpora-tion, suspecting that they were responsible for the deaths of hundredsof South Africans who were mining vanadium—a vital strategic min-eral. Documenting Coleman-Adebayo’s shocking discovery that theEPA itself was the first line of defense for the corporation in question,this record depicts how the agency stonewalled, prompting the authorto expose them. The agency’s brutal retaliation is captured in detail,revealing their use of every racist and sexist trick in their playbook,costing the protagonist her career, endangering her family, and sacri-ficing more lives in the vanadium mines of South Africa. Finishing ona hopeful note, the recollection concludes with the upwelling of sup-port the author received from others in the federal bureaucracy, detail-ing how her subsequent grassroots struggle to protect futurewhistleblowers ended in victory.

“Come on in, Marsha. We’ll make you an honorary whiteman so you can join us.”

Those around the table burst into laughter. I was stupe-fied. I felt humiliated. I felt belittled. I felt attacked andnot a little angry. Having never been in a similar situation,I was at a complete loss as to an appropriate response tothe rush of emotions washing over me—but I also knewthat a strong response could be catastrophic to my career.This was the first time I had felt the powerful forces thatrise up inside a person subjected to prejudicial ridicule.There were opposing urges to hide and to fight, and atremendous desire to yell that I knew everyone who waslaughing was well aware of how difficult it was for me.Worst of all, I was keenly aware of the fact that I hadblinked in this first encounter with racism at EPA.

Taking a stance for immigration, this personal meditation has univer-sal repercussions by incorporating the voices of immigrants both pastand present. As author Ilan Stavans says, immigration is always aboutthe unexpected; it is a state of constant flux, where things are notwhat they appear to be. The author questions whether the Americandream, its symbol of the Statue of Liberty, and the welcoming wordsof Emma Lazarus’s sonnet still hold true. At the core of this work isthe question: If the line “Give me your poor, your tired, your huddledmasses yearning to breathe free, the wretched refuse of your teamingshore” is a contract on immigration that America has made with itself,to what extent has that contract been upheld? As America becomesincreasingly multiethnic and multicultural, have we redefined and dis-missed a founding principle and the 19th-century understanding ofimmigration? This is a challenging and unique argument for immigra-tion from historical, political, and cultural perspectives.

Excerpt:

In the mid-eighties, upon my immigration to New Yorkfrom Mexico City, one of the first things people asked mewas, Where is your sombrero? They were referring to thetypical Mexican sombrero mariachis use when they singranchera songs. The most common sombreros, the onesused by those musicians, are made of felt and are blackwith golden or silver decorations. The touristy versionsare red, yellow, orange, blue, and other splashy colors.

I’ve never owned a sombrero in my life. Nor have myfamily, friends, and acquaintances. That’s because we did not have the opportunity to socialize with mariachis.(How many Americans have cowboy friends?) In fact, I personally don’t know a single Mexican who has a sombrero.

Yet in New York I was constantly asked about my sombrero, I assume because a Mexican and a sombrerogo hand in hand. Or head in hole. It satisfied no onewhen I answered that a sombrero for me was as foreignan item as it was for them. Actually, my response—I couldsee it in people’s faces—was annoying.

• Co-op available• Advertising in Booklist, Harper’s, Huffington Post, Mother Jones, and Poz

By focusing on a small town in South Carolina, this study of theHIV/AIDS crisis in the South reveals the hard truths of an ongoingand complex issue. Skerritt contends that the United States has failedto adequately address the threat of HIV and AIDS in communities ofcolor and that taboos about love, race, and sexuality—combinedwith Southern conservatism, white privilege, and black oppression—continue to create an unacceptable death toll. The heartbreak ofAmerica’s failure comes alive through case studies of individuals suchas Carolyn, a wild child whose rebellion coincided with the advent ofAIDS, and Nita, a young woman searching for love and trapped inan abusive relationship. The results are most visible at the town’s seg-regated burial ground where dozens of young black men and womenwho have died from AIDS are laid to rest. Not only a call to actionand awareness, this is a true story of how persons of faith, enduringlove, and limitless forgiveness can inspire others by serving as guidesfor poor communities facing a public health threat burdened withconflicting moral and social conventions.

To those who knew her, Tracy was mourning her beloved Aunt Carolyn. But tothose familiar with her condition, Tracy mourned not for the life just lost but forthe road that lay ahead. She looked into the casket and saw her immediate future.She knelt beside the casket, her arms serving as a pillow for her head. Midwaythrough the service as the men from Generations Funeral Home stepped forward toclose the casket, Tracy tried to get one last glimpse of her aunt. Then as soon as thelid was closed, she screamed louder and longer, her voice trailing against the back-drop of the songs of praise. After they closed the casket she lay on it and wept.

I had first met Tracy eighteen months before. As fate would have it, on SundayDecember 3, 2000, her face graced the front page of the Rock Hill Herald. In thepicture Rev. Patricia Ann Starr was talking to L. Z. Witherspoon, a young man fromthe neighborhood. In the background stood Tracy. She wore no makeup. Her lipswere unpainted. Her face was pockmarked with acne. That day, she was playful,smiling and doting on her aunt. She was slim and healthy looking. The photographhad been taken a few days earlier on a Friday afternoon as they stood outside in thefront of Tricia Ann’s house. The photograph was for a story about AIDS in theirsmall town of Clover. Tricia Ann was the focus of the picture and the story. Tracywas supposed to be a prop, just another face in the group, unconnected to the bigpicture. What I didn’t know then was that Tracy was an untold part of the story.She had been diagnosed with the virus years before; her days were numbered.

For the second year in arow, members of the National Union of Students in Syria(NUSS) were busy beating up and chasing off the opposi-tion figures staging a sit-in in front of the old Ministry ofJustice—a stone’s throw away from the radio station wheremartial law was declared in 1963, the morning after theBa’ath Party seized power in a military coup. Multipartypolitics in Syria was suspended that day, all in the name ofbringing to an end raging political instability that hadplagued the country since independence in 1946.

Scores of student-union protes-tors were on him like a swarm of bees, shouting “traitor”while beating him with wooden sticks adorned with Syrianflags. As I took a photo of the melee, my colleagues HughMacleod and Othaina Sahara sized up the situation, note-books in hand.

“Come on, let’s go talk to that guy!” Hugh said.

Othaina and I looked at each other. Without saying aword, we understood that the worst thing that could hap-pen to this brave man at that moment would be for two for-eigners to ask him how he felt about being abused andbeaten up. We probably knew the answer anyway.

I Killed ScheherazadeConfessions of an Angry Arab WomanJoumana Haddad

“In this courageous book Joumana Haddad breaks down the taboo ofthe Silent Absent Arab Woman. Scheherazade has to die to be able tospeak her true self, to tell her own story: that is, to become a humanbeing.” —Elfriede Jelinek,

winner of the 2004 Nobel Prize in Literature

“Joumana Haddad cannot be intimidated. This book is a lesson ofcourage for all those who fight to go beyond their own limits andchains.” —Roberto Saviano, author, Gomorrah

“Sometimes, a revolution erupts when one person says, ‘That—that isnot me.’ Joumana Haddad is a revolutionary, this book is the mani-festo. Read it or be left behind.” —Rabih Alameddine, author,

• Co-op available• Author tour to include Los Angeles, New York City, and Washington, DC

For centuries the heroine of The Arabian Nights, Scheherazade, definedthe Arab woman—until Joumana Haddad, an Arab woman herself,had had enough. Haddad angrily challenges prevalent notions of iden-tity and womanhood in the Middle East in this intrepid exploration.While she finds the West’s dominant portrayal of Arab womenappalling, she finds the image projected by many Middle Easternwomen to be infuriating as well. She discusses her intellectual develop-ment and the liberating effect of literature on her life, and in theprocess she transcends religious and cultural perspectives. Ultimatelyshe argues that every woman has not only the right but the duty toignore social, political, and sexual expectations and be true to herself.Fiery and candid, this is a provocative exploration of what it means tobe an Arab woman today that will enlighten and inform a new interna-tional feminism. For Haddad, Scheherazade is dead, and the time hascome for Arab women to tell their own stories.

Joumana Haddad is an award-winning poet, translator, magazinepublisher, and journalist. The culture editor for Lebanon’s daily news-paper, she launched the Arab world’s first erotic cultural magazine,Jasad (Body), in 2008, making international headlines. Haddad livesin Beirut.

Excerpt:

Although I’m a so-called Arab woman, I, and manyother women like me, wear whatever we like to wear, gowherever we wish to go, and say whatever we want to say.

Although I’m a so-called Arab woman, I, and manyother women like me, are not veiled, subdued, illiterate, oroppressed, and we are certainly not submissive.

Although I’m a so-called Arab woman, no man forbidsme, or many other women like me, from driving a car, amotorcycle, a six-wheeler, or a plane, for that matter!

Although I’m a so-called Arab woman, I, and manyother women like me, attained high levels of education,have a very active professional life, and have an incomehigher than that of many Arab (and Western) men weknow.

Although I’m a so-called Arab woman, I, and manyother women like me, do not live in a tent, do not ridecamels, and do not know how to belly dance. (Don’t feeloffended if you belong to the “enlightened camp”: somestill have this image of us, despite the open, globalizedworld of the twenty-first century.)

And, last but not least, although I’m a so-called Arabwoman, I, and many other women like me, look a lot like. . . YOU!

When we got back from Iraq, we went to a reintegra-tion thing for like three weeks or something like that.And during that three weeks they sent us to a doctorand the doctor says, “Is there anything you guys wantto talk about, whatever?” and 98% of the people say,“No. Fuck no. We’ve been in Iraq for 15 months, wedon’t want to be cooped up in a shrink’s office rehash-ing everything that happened. We want to be going outpartying, getting drunk, whatever.” So that’s what wedid. And it wasn’t until about two months later that Istarted having nightmares, and I started getting reallytense and nervous and anxious about everything. A cardoor slams too hard and I freak out. Driving down theroad, even now—this is a year later, a year later—I still,driving down the road, finding myself looking on thesides of the road.

Excerpt from interview with Judith Herman:

DJ: What is the relationship between atrocity and silence?

JH: Atrocities are actions so horrifying they go beyondwords. For people who witness or experience atrocities,there is a kind of silencing that comes from not knowinghow to put these experiences into words. At the same time,atrocities are the crimes perpetrators most want to hide.This creates a powerful convergence of interest: No onewants to speak about them. No one wants to rememberthem. Everyone wants to pretend they didn’t happen.

DJ: In Trauma and Recovery, you write, “In order toescape accountability the perpetrator does everything in hispower to promote forgetting.”

JH: This is something with which we are all familiar. Itseems that the more extreme the crimes, the more doggedand determined the efforts to deny that the crimes hap-pened. So we have, for example, almost a hundred yearsafter the fact, an active and apparently state-sponsoredeffort on the part of the Turkish government to deny therewas ever an Armenian genocide. We still have a wholeindustry of Holocaust denial. Lives Less Valuable

Excerpt:

“After winning the 1995 Yukon Jack Arm Wrestling Championship, Ifloated around for a while, trying to figure out what I wanted to dowith my life. One day, some buddies came over to my house with atape of the second Ultimate Fighting Championship. I had never seenthe UFC before, but I’d heard crazy stories about brutal fights wherepeople would break bones and then keep on fighting. I couldn’t under-stand why anyone would want to do something like that; however,when I actually sat down and watched the tape, I loved the sport rightaway. I was amazed when I saw Remco Pardoel bash the hell out ofOrlando Weit’s head. I was in awe at how Remco was able to almostcrush another man’s skull with devastating elbow shots. Since I was aknown as a tough guy, my friends who figured that I could do it, too.Soon, they were trying to convince me to fight in the UFC. Of course, Iwas with the guys and bravado meant I needed to act tough, so I said,“Yeah, I can do that. It looks easy.” As I was saying it, however, I wasthinking there was no way I wanted any part of that kind of violence.

The next thing I knew, a phone number plugging UFC merchandisepopped up on the screen. Right away my friends decided to call thenumber, not expecting anyone to actually pick up the line. Surprisingly,someone did.

‘We don t want to buy anything . . . We’ve got somebody here who can fight!’”

Excerpt:

“As my three-month stint in Wallingford neared its end, I kept thinking of the WWF building and what I’dgiven up. Was there a reason I had to pass that building every weekend? It like more than a coincidence. Italmost seemed like destiny.

That week I’d watched a film alone, something Jim had recommended to me — Glengarry Glen Ross, basedon the play by the great David Mamet. In it, Al Pacino’s character reminds his co-workers of his philosophyon life: “When you die,” he says, “you’ll regret the things you didn’t do.”

I started wondering if I’d made a mistake. I started thinking I might need to try wrestling again. One thingwas certain: The next Friday evening when I passed that WWF building, I had to stop and look around.

Call it curiosity or karma, but I felt like I needed to do it to survive. I got off the exit and pulled around to the front. It looked to be about eight or nine stories, made of black glass, with the huge yellow WWF logo near the top. That’s what caught your eye from the interstate. That WWF glowed to me, calling out like a siren.”

As the legal story unfolds, so toodoes a story of forgiveness, rooted in the Canadian Mennonitetradition from which Snyder hailed. Updated to include an after-word by the Snyder family, this story shows how the afflictedfamily, taking an approach to their loss dictated by their faith,chose to make peace with both Heatley and his parents.

Art Models 6The Female Figure in Shadow and LightMaureen Johnson and Douglas Johnson

• Co-op available• Advertising in Artist’s Magazine• Authors’ previous titles sold more than 35,000 copies

Whether trying a new technique, getting in some practice time,or working on a finished piece, this figure study enables artists tocreate their choice of model, pose, and view whenever and wher-ever they’d like. The latest addition to the series will help artistsbecome proficient in incorporating chiaroscuro or light and darklighting—a technique used by the great masters to producedrama and depth in their paintings—to define the human form.The book incorporates a new layout featuring two primaryviews per pose as well as a section of close-up faces, while addi-tional expressions and body details such as the face, hands, andfeet are shown in even greater detail on the DVD-ROM. With thebook, artists can study 95 poses in strong unidirectional lightingand observe the female form through more than 200 printedphotos. Varieties of body types—ranging from thin to plus-size—and ethnicities are included. Poses have been carefully chosen toillustrate important effects such as foreshortening and perspec-tive changes. With this guide, artists can achieve longer drawingsessions than they could when drawing from a model directly.While viewing from many angles and at their own pace is oftenimpossible for artists in a studio session, it becomes as easy asputting in the disc and opening any photo. A judicious amountof photo retouching is done—not to make the models moreglamorous or plastic but to remove distractions that detract fromthe models’ essence. The PC/Mac-compatible DVD-ROM includ-ed in the book features more than 2,500 high-resolution JPEGphotos providing a number of viewing options—on a computerscreen, printed out, projected for a group, or via a high-defini-tion television. Each angle of every pose may also be enlarged,enabling artists to zoom in on specific body parts to achieve ahigher level of detail.

Justin Cronin’s The Passage have sold millions of copies worldwide, and current television shows such as True Blood and The Vampire Diaries are very popular

Resurrecting a horrifying and romantic narrative that brokefresh ground for its genre, this newly rereleased novel sets a vam-pire story in contemporary Los Angeles—the pleasure dome oflate 1990s sex, drugs, and rock ’n’ roll culture. Unlike the vam-pires that came before her, Justine does not shun crosses, shewatches horror movies on television, and she sets upon her preyin an almost apologetic way, never killing her victims but leavingthem unconscious instead. She soon finds herself entwined in avery human sexual relationship with Keith, a down-on-his-luckrock guitarist whose hands have recently been mangled by agang of drug dealers. Justine nurtures Keith out of his depressionand drug addiction as he in turn becomes her lover and accom-plice in her nocturnal predations. The relationship between theundead and the living is realistically and tragically portrayed asKeith acts both as Justine’s enabler and unwitting nemesis and,in this classic role reversal, ends up having to destroy the one heloves in order to save her.

Excerpt:

One thing I like best about science fiction, though I can’t always do it, isthat you can write a story that makes comments on our world here andnow. I think the best science fiction does that—gives us a new view onwhat our world is like right now. Often from an alien point of view.

The best thing ever said about my writing was said by Jim Gunn. He saidmy stories “estranged the everyday.” I wish I could do that all the time.

I started writing science fiction in the first place because I met my hus-band’s friends who were science fiction writers. Unlike in my college litera-ture classes, they spoke of writing as if a normal human being could do it . . . maybe even me. They spoke of technical problems and solutions.

Excerpt:

Clare could beat aces. It was the flush she was worried about. She studied the oldman across from her. “What do you have? Aces?”

“Nah, I don’t got aces,” the old man said, meaning Maybe I do, maybe I don’t.

Clare tried to find a clue on his face. Deep lines made his skin look more like leatherthan anything human. The eyes, of course, were blank.

“Raise.” Clare shoved some chips in forcefully. What she meant was Please fold.

“Re-raise you all in.” The man touched the rim of his cowboy hat. A real tell, or afake one? And how was Clare supposed to single out a killer in a room full of profes-sional bluffers? “Go home, kid,” the old man said, meaning, You’re out of yourleague in this card room.

But Clare wasn’t going home. She wasn’t going anywhere until she’d proven shecould do this job. “Do I threaten you?” she asked.

The old man snorted and Clare thought she saw his nostrils flare. “Sure,” he said.“Kids like you threaten my game every day. You make it so profitable I get lazy andforget how to take on real competition.”

Clare drummed her fingers on the black table felt. If she called the bet and lost, she’dbe out of the game. She could already hear Sergeant Cloutier’s scorn as he pulled heroff the case and sent her home to dreary beat work chasing graffiti artists and bicyclethieves in Toronto.

Excerpt:

“Officers Warren and Armsman? 5106, 1100 for lunch. Good to have you back on the platoon, Jack.” Sergeant Johanson looked upfrom his parade sheet and gave Jack a brief smile. For the greyhaired, stoic supervisor, it was a gushing display of emotion.

A few other people echoed the sergeant’s sentiments but briefly and quietly. The new staff sergeant did not take to unnecessary talkingon parade. He glanced from his memo book at the unruly outburst but let it slide.

Too busy with his freaking notes. The man actually took notes about parade. Jack had never seen a supervisor, of any rank, make anentry about parade other than to say when it started and maybe when it ended. And the staff had spent long enough inspecting every-one. Jack hadn’t been given such a thorough going-over since his days at the police college down in Aylmer. Greene had done a sockcheck to make sure everyone was wearing black socks. A freaking sock check! Several officers, including Jack—no grace period for theplatoon’s new addition—had been cautioned about the length of their hair. Jack wouldn’t have been surprised if the old bastard hadtaken out a ruler to measure the gap between hairline and collar.

Jack wondered when the basement room at 51 had last seen a stand-up parade. Its old, tired appearance certainly didn’t correspondwith such formality. The once-white paint was a faded and dreary ivory. A feeble light grimed through the dirt-grey windows set high inone wall. The metal tables, in rows beneath the windows, were as battle weary and worn out as the assortment of salvaged chairs. No,formality did not belong here. Jack was surprised when the platoon was allowed to sit as Johanson read out the day’s assignments andalerts. Greene seemed like the kind of prick who would keep everyone standing.

A novel of youth in revolt against oppression

Dance the Eagle to SleepA NovelMarge Piercy

“Bears a strong family resemblance, in kind and quality, toWilliam Golding’s Lord of the Flies and to Anthony Burgess’ AClockwork Orange. It would be no surprise to see it become, likethese others, a totem and legend of the young.” —Time

From thedisillusionment and alienation of the young at the center of therevolt to their attempts to build a visionary new society, thenationwide following they gain, and the brutally completerepression that inevitably follows, this is a future fiction withouta drop of fantasy. As driving, violent, and nuanced today as itwas 40 years ago, this anniversary edition includes a new intro-duction by the author reflecting unapologetically on the noveland the times from which it emerged.

Marge Piercy is the author of 17 novels, including the bestsellingBraided Lives, Gone to Soldiers, and Woman on the Edge ofTime; numerous volumes of poetry; and a critically acclaimedmemoir, Sleeping with Cats.

“A fully controlled, tightly structured dramaticnarrative of such artful intensity that it leads thereader on at almost every page.”


VidaMarge Piercy

“Very exciting. Marge Piercy’s characters are complex and veryhuman.” —Margaret Atwood

Originally published in 1979, this piece of revolutionary fictionis a bestselling author’s classic paean to the 1960s. At the centerof the novel stands Vida Asch, who has lived underground foralmost a decade. Back in the 1960s she was a political star of theexuberant antiwar movement—a red-haired beauty pho-tographed for the pages of Life magazine—charismatic, passion-ate, and totally sure she would prevail. Now, a decade later, Vidais on the run, her star quality replaced by stubborn courage. Ascounterpoint to the underground 1970s, Marge Piercy tells theextraordinary tale of the optimistic era, the thousands of peoplewho were members of Students Against the War, and of thehandful who formed a fierce group called the Little Red Wagon.Piercy’s characters make vivid and comprehensible the despera-tion, the courage, and the blind rage of a time when action couldappear to some to be a more rational choice than the vote.

Excerpt:

But Nathan’s practised eye was taking in other details of the map,most especially the batteries marked at the mouth of the Gulf and thedepths within. These were shallow waters, even at high tide, and atlow tide they would be mostly mud. But Warren had anticipated theseproblems and had the solutions to hand.

“I am assured the batteries look more impressive on the chart thanthey are in reality. The guns are old and have not been fired in angerfor many years. You should be able to silence them easily enough withyour 18-pounders.”

“But I cannot take the Unicorn into the Gulf, sir, not with her draught.”

“No, sir, and only a fool would suppose it. You will command a fleetof smaller vessels that are being assembled as we speak, with as manyseamen and marines as I can spare for the enterprise. And you may, ofcourse, avail yourself of your own marines and crew. That is,” heraised a mocking brow, “if you have no objection to the commission.”

Nathan ran his eye once more across the chart. A labyrinth of smallislands, mud banks and creeks, beset by perverse currents and washedby wayward tides. And no clear idea of what force the enemy couldmuster against him or of what help to expect from the Chouans, if any.

He inclined his head in a polite bow. “No objection at all, sir. Indeed,I thank you for giving me the honour.”

“My pleasure, Captain,” replied the commodore, with a smile.

This intricate work is made accessibleto modern readers through the elegant translation that capturesthe spirit of the original, while the original French is still avail-able on facing pages.

Insightful, biting, and masterfully crafted, this collection ofpoems seeks to assess the pressing ecological, spiritual, and polit-ical crises of the modern era. Tracking the mysterious central andrepeating character named Tony, elegant verse combines with theend-time rhetoric of contemporary fundamentalism. In a canoni-cal meter, meditations are offered on the rise of fountain drinksand the use of artificial color as a means to investigate humani-ty’s social fabric. Richly blending cutting social criticism withpoetic lyricism, Cyrus Console comes to terms with the socialcontinua on which sugar substitutes are manufactured by phar-maceutical giants and weaponized defoliants evolve into best-selling agrichemicals—all while breaking new ground on the roleof poetry in an industrialized society.

Excerpt:

I’m standing beside a filing cabinet. To my right is the actor Charles Cioffi, and to his rightis Ken Camroux, the actor playing the Senior FBI Agent, the part I read for and didn’t get.I got this weird part with no lines. All I do is smoke. On the other side of the desk is ayoung unknown actress with red hair. We are doing a low budget pilot for an obscure sci-ence fiction show about alien abduction, if you can believe it. Well, a gig is a gig. I’m get-ting paid. Scale, I think.

I’m feeling pretty dumb, just standing there like a statue listening to the red-haired actresstalk about someone called “Spooky Mulder.” I look at the cabinet beside me, the top justbelow my shoulder. I think, ‘If this were really me would I stand here as if I were part ofthe scenery?’ which of course I was. What’s to lose, I think. So I stretch my elbow acrossthe top of the cabinet, cross my feet, and watch the action from this new position, a pray-ing mantis with a cigarette. An icon was born. You can buy the trading card if you want.

At that moment my career went up in smoke. Well, perhaps it had been smouldering forsome time. Once a boy wonder, I had failed in my major ambition. I was not the ArtisticDirector of the Stratford Festival at the age of twenty-nine, unlike my idol, Peter Hall, whoheaded the Royal Shakespeare Company in the UK at that age. Still, always torn betweendirecting and teaching, I was getting along, making a good living, until that fateful daywhen everything changed.

Excerpt:

The Smiley Face

It started in 1958. New York City radio station WMCA inadvertently forecast what would become the definitive icon of the 1970s: thesmiley face. The station ran a contest for the most popular radio show at the time, Cousin Brucie. Any listener who answered their phoneby saying “WMCA Good Guys!” received a “Good Guys!” sweatshirt that featured a smiley face in its design.

Then there was art director Harvey Ball who, in 1963, created a similar design for State Mutual Life Assurance, a Worcester, Massachusettsinsurance firm. The bright yellow circle with the black eyes and mouth was part of the company’s “Friendship” campaign, whereby StateMutual handed out 100 smiley face pins to employees. The concept was to get employees to smile while using the phone and doing othertasks (a merger had put a crimp in company morale).

The idea, which reportedly took Ball just ten minutes to create, caught fire. However, he never applied for a trademark or copyright of thesmiley face and earned just $45 for his work. Ball, who died in 2001, is remembered for the idea near where he lived in Massachusetts;part of the land where he lived is called the Harvey Ball Conservation Area, and it’s here that you’ll find the Smiley Face Trail.

So just how did the Smiley Face become the symbol of the 70s?

In September 1970, two enterprising brothers, Murray and Bernard Spain, had an idea. They were in the business of making faddish items,so they drew up a smiley face and added the words “Have a nice day.” Next, they copyrighted both the smiley face image and the accompa-nying slogan—and the rest is pop culture history. Soon they were cranking out buttons, t-shirts, coffee mugs, posters, greeting cards, ear-rings, bracelets, key chains, and more trash and trinkets that you could shake a mood ring at.

The craze lasted about a year and half, and then it was over. The smiley face left almost as quickly as it had arrived, leaving behind adull sense of bland positive energy—and about 50 million buttons.

Integrating psychology and sports to empowerthose with autism

Riding on the Autism SpectrumThe Miracle of Equine-Assisted TherapyClaudine Pelletier-MiletForeword by Catherine Mathelin-Vanier

Taking on a group of developmental disorders whose prevalencerate is increasing each year, the ideas in this book show those withautism to gradually open up within a joyful and relaxed atmos-phere. The study draws from a strong knowledge base of equinetraining, child psychoanalysis, and clinical psychology, contendingthat certain animals—specifically horses—have a way of communi-cating with individuals on the autism spectrum. The process oflearning to ride is presented as a unique educational system, invit-ing the autistic individual to discover new sensations, gain a senseof independence, and learn to control their emotions and fears.Addressing the emotional needs of family and friends of those withautism, this emboldening guide encourages those on the spectrumto look up, speak out, and become stronger in mind and spirit.

Claudine Pelletier-Milet is a horseback riding instructor and aneducator who specializes in equitherapeutic riding for toddlers.She runs the equestrian center of the stud-Mairin Berdrix LaChapelle-Montligeon in Perche, France. Catherine Mathelin-Vanier is a psychoanalyst who specializes in early childhood.

Excerpt:

Autistic children are hypersensitive and interpret anything unfamiliar as intrusive. As they become more confident however, they gradu-ally learn to accept new surroundings and challenges, but if this process is in any way violent or more than they can take, they regressinto repetitive movements and “self-stimulation” in order to assure themselves of their existence. The riding ring is an enclosed spacewith clearly defined limits in which the horses provide something that is entirely stable, unthreatening and composed of pleasant ritualswhich help to achieve this difficult transition.

The riding activities begin with smells and contact, subsequently taking on visual and auditory impressions. As soon as I think themoment is right, I talk about what is happening and put into words what I think is going on in their minds. We take stock together ofthe place we are in, the objects that are scattered about and the actions we perform. We notice the noises that surround us: for instancewe hear a pony neighing and we look at it together; a tractor passes by with a load of hay for the horses so we follow it with our eyes –and our ears. We might even remark on the smell of the exhaust.

The familiarity and confidence inspired by sitting securely in the saddle on a well-trained pony or horse is another fundamental elementin providing the autistic child with a feeling of security that is so strong that he can open his defenses against the “outside” world. Ithink that the normal reaction of an autistic child to the world around him is a primitive one of self-preservation and that the quality ofthis instinct is close to that of horses. This is perhaps the reason that communication is so easily forged between the child and the pony.The pony understands and absorbs the child’s anxiety; the child responds by adopting very quickly a good seat and showing the ponythat he at ease.

I find this is a spontaneous form of communication that takes place without any verbal instruction and quickly extends the autisticchild’s area that he so jealously protects, to include the pony. People with autism are reluctant to relinquish their area of security, soeach stage in their progress has to be lived through with patience. The horse or pony with its endless patience and understanding is theperfect ally.

Excerpt:

Every human situation you live through is unique to your life, but every human action has been seen before in its general outlines. If wemake the mistake of thinking our experience is unique, then we cannot learn from what others have seen and done before us. But if weaccept that our life path is one others have been on, then we can ask literature, myth and ritual for guidance, since that is exactly whythese stories were written down. They were created to let us know that we are not alone, that others have been this way before…

This movement toward a better society, however, is under threat because the very understandings that allowed for growing cohesionhave been eroded recently. They’ve been undercut by those who cannot see any value in belonging to a society of more than one. Theirlives are just for them; there is no sense of the mythic richness of being alive. They have no “story” to connect them to their culture,and so they have no sense of ritual; they have no awareness of history, merely of isolated occurrences. If events are simply random, ifother people are just objects to be networked with, then how can the person have any higher levels of awareness? These people cannotfind any deep significance in their lives, so they grab what they can of the material world and of physical gratification. This is the sad-dest aspect of modern isolation.

The consciousness that we are living a mythic life, where right and wrong actions have significance, and where we are all linked, is thebest response to this mindset. We can choose to see ourselves as part of a meaningful whole, where our actions matter. In the process,we grow our courage to live well.

The architectural footprints of a courageous culture

Traces of the PastMontreal’s Early SynagoguesSara Ferdman Tauben

Documenting the development of Montreal’s Jewish communityfrom the 1880s until 1945, this investigation meticulously drawsfrom historic city maps and directories, authentic photographs,brittle newspaper articles, and long-forgotten anniversary publi-cations to track the locations of the city’s early synagogues.

Depicting the people’s determination to retain their familiartraditions and familial connections, this record shows how theirbeautiful places of worship also became havens where they couldmeet, exchange concerns, lend support, and resolve to help thoseleft behind.

Climate Change for Football FansA Matter of Life and DeathJames Atkins

“Football supporters will never see the world in the same wayafter reading this book.” —Professor David J. C. MacKay, author,

Sustainable Energy—Without the Hot Air

“Even those flawed souls who find climate change more engag-ing than football will enjoy this quirky take on how to save theplanet.” —Siobhán Parkinson, author

and Ireland’s Laureate for Children’s Literature

By introducing the parallel of the world’s favorite sport, thisexploration of climate change policy steers clear of the scientificjargon and data that populate most books on the issue. Writtenas a series of conversations between Joe, a soccer fan whothinks that worrying about climate change is a waste of time,and Professor Igor, a climate change scholar who does notunderstand the intricacies of soccer, this book provides accessi-ble and entertaining insight into environmental issues throughtheir dialogue. Topics that they discuss include the politicalobstacles to solving the energy problem and the ways thatlifestyle choices of individuals affect the world around them.Positing that at this point the way out of the climate changedilemma is just as much social as it is technological and politi-cal, Atkins’ enjoyable treatise is manageable for those who haveno prior knowledge on the subject yet is still compelling tothose who are already well informed.
