SPIEGEL & GRAUHARDCOVERS

In 2002, a Cambridge historian is found dead, f loating down theriver Cam, a glass prism in her hand, leaving her magnum opuson Sir Isaac Newton’s alchemy unfinished. She had been inves-

tigating a series of suspicious circumstances surroundingNewton's appointment as a Fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge,in 1667. That year, two Fellows died by falling down staircases,apparently drunk; another died in a field, apparently drunk; and afourth was expelled, having gone mad—leaving vacancies for newappointments. Was it just a coincidence? If so, it was a coincidencethat secured Newton’s future and paved the way for his extraordi-nary scientific discoveries. When Lydia Brooke, at the request ofher ex-lover, the historian’s son, steps in to finish the book, strangeshows of light begin to play on the walls, and papers disappear onlyto reappear elsewhere. And when events escalate to murder, andLydia’s rekindled romance appears increasingly implicated in thedanger, the present becomes entangled with the seventeenth cen-tury, with Isaac Newton at the center of the mystery.

Rebecca Stott, a British historian, has brought to light for thefirst time the curious events surrounding Newton's rise. A middle-class loner who had done poorly on his exams, Newton is consid-ered merely lucky by most historians. But for Rebecca Stott thishistorical mystery is the inspiration for a murder mystery, ghoststory, and love story.

GHOSTWALK is filled with evocative descriptions ofCambridge, past and present, of seventeenth-century glassmaking,alchemy, the Great Plague, and Newton's scientific innovations.In it, time and relationships are intertwined—the present withthe seventeenth century, and ghosts of the past with the love-torn twenty-first-century woman who is trying to uncover theirsecrets. A stunningly original display of scholarship and imagina-tion, GHOSTWALK is a rare debut that will change the waymost of us think about scientific innovation, the force of history,and time itself.

REBECCA STOTT is a professor at Anglia RuskinUniversity and is affiliated with the CambridgeDepartment of the History and Philosophy of Science.She is the author of a biography, Darwin and theBarnacle, and is a regular contributor to BBC Radio.She lives in Cambridge, England. This is her first novel.

From GHOSTWALK:

How many times can you explainaway unaccountable events as

coincidences? When does the perpet-ual blowing away of the same pieceof paper in a windless garden, thefourth crashing of a computer thatresults in the loss of only one filewhen it is restored, a piece of linenwith a bloodstain that disappears andreturns—how many of all theserepeated events can be given rationalexplanations? A series of coinci-dences becomes a pattern. The natu-ral bleeds into the supernaturalsomewhere in that spectrum.

The laws of probability wereseverely strained in the Studio, after Imoved into its high-pitched silences.I struggled to explain things awayfrom the first day. Sometimes Ilaughed at myself for the things Iimagined. In the first weeks, I gaveyou my stories, told you about thestrange lights and the coincidences,offered them up as entertainments,but by late October their frequencyand implausibility had becomealarming. I stopped telling you eitherfor fear you would think me mad orfoolish or because I was protectingyou from what I was beginning tosee. And, like Newton, I didn’t see itall at once. It has taken me two yearsto see how the patterns fell then,years of dawning.

If you’d guess that Yale or Harvard ruled the col-lege gridiron in 1911 and 1912, you’d bewrong. The most popular team belonged to an

institution called the Carlisle Indian IndustrialSchool. Its story begins with Lt. Col. Richard HenryPratt, a fierce abolitionist who believed that NativeAmericans deserved a place in American society. In1879, Pratt made a treacherous journey to DakotaTerritory to recruit Carlisle’s first students.

Years later, three students approached Pratt withthe notion of forming a football team. Pratt liked theidea, and in less than twenty years the Carlisle foot-ball team was defeating its Ivy League opponentsand, in the process, changing the way the game wasplayed.

The author of The Book of Honor confronts a criticaldanger threatening our nation: the rise of secrecy ingovernment, business, academia, courtrooms, andnewsrooms. Under this new regime of concealment,your right to know has been replaced by someoneelse’s right to keep a secret.

In The Book of Honor, Ted Gup uncovered some of the CIA'sclosest-held secrets: the names and stories of the seventy-oneundercover operatives who were killed in the line of duty. Now

he turns his attention to a broader range of American institutions,exposing how and why they keep secrets from the very peoplethey are supposed to serve. Drawing on original reporting andstartling analysis, Gup argues that a preoccupation with secretshas undermined the very values—security, patriotism, privacy, thenational interest—in whose name secrecy is so often invoked.

Gup shows how the expanding thicket of classified informationleads to the devaluation of the secrets we most need to keep, andthat journalists have become pawns in the government’s internalconf licts over access to information. He explores the blatantexploitation of privacy and confidentiality in academia, business,and the courts, and concludes that in case after case, these princi-ples have been twisted to allow the emergence of a shadow systemof justice, unaccountable to the public.

Drawing on Gup's decades of work as an investigative reporter,NATION OF SECRETS will shake our faith in some of our mosttrusted institutions, piercing the veil of secrecy to reveal an alarm-ing new threat to democracy in America. Gup presents a visionthat is radical in its clarity, conservative in its roots, of a country tee-tering on the brink of losing its identity.

TED GUP is an investigative reporter who worked atThe Washington Post and at Time magazine. He is theauthor of The Book of Honor and the recipient of theGeorge Polk Award and the Worth Bingham Prize. Aprofessor of journalism at Case Western ReserveUniversity, he lives in Pepper Pike, Ohio.

A clarion call about the frightening consequences ofthe Web 2.0, THE CULT OF THE AMATEUR con-cludes with concrete solutions for how we can counterthe havoc we are unleashing on our economy and society.

ANDREW KEEN is a former Silicon Valleyentrepreneur whose writings on culture,media, and technology have appearedin The Weekly Standard, BusinessWeek,the San Francisco Chronicle, FastCompany, Jazziz magazine, and TheGuardian, as well as on his own weblog,TheGreatSeduction.com. He hosts theacclaimed podcast AfterTV, and is fre-quently featured on other media outlets.He lives in Berkeley, California.

Our most valued cultural institutions, Keenwarns in THE CULT OF THE AMATEUR—our newspaper, magazine, music, and movie

industries—are being supplanted by an avalanche ofamateur, user-generated free content. Our newspa-pers’ advertising revenue is being drained by free clas-sified ads on sites like craigslist; television networks areunder attack from commercial-free TiVos; file-sharingand iPods are devastating the multibillion-dollar musicbusiness, and may soon undermine our movie indus-try; and Google’s print-scanning technologies jeopard-ize the profitability of conventional publishing. In a“cut-and-paste” online culture where intellectualproperty is freely swapped, stolen, or “aggregated,”royalty income is lost from the pockets of our artists,journalists, and creators.

Keen argues that the new digital revolution, dubbedWeb 2.0, is threatening our culture as well.

“A wonderful critical-loving job...a stupendous story.”—V. S. Naipaul

The Waugh family has been writing books since the nine-teenth century and is one of the most accomplished andmost eccentric clans in literary history. In this remarkable

history of father-and-son relationships in his family, AlexanderWaugh exposes the fraught dynamics that have produced fourgenerations of successful authors. Based on recollections of hisfather, Auberon, and on a mine of hitherto unseen documentsrelating to his grandfather, Evelyn, Alexander Waugh skillfullytraces the threads of inf luence that have linked father to sonacross a century of war, conf lict, turmoil, and change.

FATHERS AND SONS is much more than a family tale: it is astudy of birth and death, of writers and writing, of conforming andrebelling. A frank and intimate memoir, it is a revealing historythat spans generations—and personalities—within one extraordi-nary family. It is at once very, very funny, fearlessly candid, andexceptionally moving.

“Literary skill really does seem to be hereditary. . . . Altogether anextraordinary story, admirably told, which leaves you thinking atthe end what a remarkable family the Waughs are.”

—Geoffrey Wheatcroft, Daily Mail

“A remarkable account of a remarkable family. . .engrossing reading.”—William Trevor, The Guardian

ALEXANDER WAUGH is the grandson of Evelyn Waugh and the son ofcolumnist Auberon Waugh and novelist Teresa Waugh. He lives inSomerset, England, with his wife and three children.

What’s it really like to wear the pinstripes? This rivetingaccount takes readers inside the clubhouse of the 2006New York Yankees and reveals what really goes onbehind the hype, the media glare, and the roar of thefans surrounding the most fabled organization in theworld of professional sports.

The New York Yankees began the 2006 season with a record-setting payroll—and more challenges than any otherYankee team in history. From owner George Steinbrenner

right on down, the team took an urgent, almost militaristic,approach toward winning their twenty-seventh world champi-onship. New York Post writer Michael Morrissey had full access,chronicling the ups-and-downs on the field and the public andprivate skirmishes that marked their incredible quest.

• Why manager Joe Torre and general manager Brian Cashmanchose to stay on for another season, despite the chafing they hadboth experienced under Steinbrenner in 2005

• The saga of Alex Rodriguez: his peculiar relationship with thefans and the media, and the crushing scrutiny and expectationsthat shaped 2006

• How Johnny Damon, the fun-loving former Red Sox superstar,was assimilated into the Yankee lineup—and clubhouse

• How the acquisition of Bobby Abreu at the trade deadline rede-fined the Yankees, attempting to overcome serious injuries toGary Sheffield and Hideki Matsui that nearly derailed the team’sprospects

• The private thoughts of Derek Jeter, Mariano Rivera, BernieWilliams, and Jorge Posada, career long Yankees who have afinite number of opportunities left to be world champions again

Nothing in sports compares to the prestige and weight of wearingthe pinstripes. THE PRIDE AND THE PRESSURE brings it allcompellingly to life in this remarkable season.

MICHAEL MORRISSEY has been covering Major LeagueBaseball since 1997 and has been a baseball writer forthe New York Post since 2000. He has been honored inThe Best American Sports Writing three times, andnational television and radio outlets frequently seekout his expertise. He lives in New York.

Two world-renowned scientists present an audaciouspremise of cosmic history that offers a shattering newview of the cosmos and “steals the thunder from theBig Bang theory.” —The Wall Street Journal

The Big Bang theory—widely regarded as the leading expla-nation for the origin of the universe—posits that space andtime sprang into being about 14 billion years ago in a hot,

expanding fireball of nearly infinite density. Over the last threedecades, the theory has repeatedly had to be revised to addresssuch issues as how galaxies and stars first formed and why theexpansion of the universe is speeding up. Furthermore, an explana-tion has yet to be found for what caused the Big Bang in the firstplace.

In ENDLESS UNIVERSE, Paul J. Steinhardt and Neil Turok, bothdistinguished theoretical physicists, present a bold new cosmology.Steinhardt and Turok “contend that what we think of as themoment of creation was simply part of an infinite cycle of titaniccollisions between our universe and a parallel world” (Discover).They recount remarkable developments in astronomy, particlephysics, and superstring theory that together form the basis oftheir groundbreaking “Cyclic Universe” theory. According to thispicture, the Big Bang was not the beginning of time, but the bridgeto a past filled with endlessly repeating cycles of evolution, eachaccompanied by the creation of new matter and the formation ofnew galaxies, stars, and planets.

Written in an engrossing style, ENDLESS UNIVERSE providesanswers to long-standing problems with the Big Bang model,while offering a provocative new view of both the past and thefuture of the cosmos. It is a “theory that could solve cosmic mys-tery” (USA TODAY).

Praise for the authors:“For the past twenty years, the combination of the big bang theory

plus inf lation has offered cosmologists an unbeatable one-twoknockout punch... .But the standard model finally has a worthychallenger.” —Robert Naeye, Mercury

PAUL J. STEINHARDT is the Albert Einstein Professor in Science and onthe faculty of the departments of Physics and Astrophysical Sciences atPrinceton University. NEIL TUROK is chair of mathematical physics in thedepartment of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics atCambridge University.

In a dazzling follow-up to The Icarus Girl, HelenOyeyemi explores the thin wall between myth andreality through the alternating tales of two youngwomen and their search for the truth about faith andidentity.

Maja Carmen Carrerra, the daughter of a black Cuban cou-ple, was only five years old when the family emigrated toLondon. Growing up, she speaks the Spanish of her

native land and the English of her adopted country, but longs for aconnection to her African roots. Now in her early twenties, Maja ishaunted by thoughts of Cuba and the desire to make sense of thethreads of her history. Maja's mother has found comfort inSanteria—a faith that melds Catholic saints and the Yoruba gods ofWest African religion. Her involvement with Santeria, however,divides the family as Maja's father rails against his wife's supersti-tions and the lost dreams of the Castro revolution.

Maja's narrative is one of two parallel voices in Oyeyemi's beautifullywrought novel. Yemaya Saramagua speaks from the other side ofthe reality wall—in the Somewherehouse, which has two doors,one opening to London, the other to Lagos. A Yoruban goddess,Yemaya is troubled by the ease with which her fellow gods havedisguised themselves as saints and reappeared under differentnames and faces.

As Maja and Yemaya move closer to understanding themselves,they realize that the journey to discovering where home truly liesis at once painful and exhilarating.

“I read THE OPPOSITE HOUSE with rare happiness. The voicein it is so sure, the risk it takes is so good and the intelligence in it isa sheer relief.” —Ali Smith, author of The Accidental

HELEN OYEYEMI was born in Nigeria in 1984 and haslived in London since the age of four. She wrote herwidely acclaimed first novel, The Icarus Girl, before hernineteenth birthday and graduated from CambridgeUniversity in 2006.

I n 1934, the f ledgling Chinese CommunistParty and its 200,000 soldiers were forced offtheir bases by Chiang Kai-Shek and his

Nationalist troops. They walked more than 8,000miles over mountains, grasslands, and swamps,ending up in the remote, barren north of China.Only one-fifth survived. They went on to launchthe revolution that transformed China, and theLong March was forever enshrined as the definingmoment of modern Chinese history. It also served as potent propaganda for Mao and for theCommunist revolution.

Seventy years later, Sun Shuyun set out to retracethe Marchers’ steps and to seek out and interviewthe aged survivors. THE LONG MARCH is thestunning narrative of her extraordinary expedi-

Sun Shuyun

tion. The rugged landscape had changed little.Shuyun’s greatest difficulty was wrestling with theheroic images of the March that she, and everyChinese citizen, had learned as a child. On each step ofthe journey, she uncovered shocking stories of starva-tion, disease, and desertion, of ruthless purges orderedby party leaders, of the mistreatment of women, andof thousands of futile deaths. Many who survived themarch reported that their suffering continued longafter the “triumph” of the revolution, recounting talesof persecution and ostracism that culminated in thehorrific years of the Cultural Revolution.

THE LONG MARCH is at once a gripping retelling ofan amazing historical adventure, an eye-openingaccount of how Mao manipulated it for his own pur-poses, and a moving portrait of China past and present.

This powerful portrait of life in Iraq over the past fivedecades is an intimate, searing, and often heartbreakingaccount of the impact of Saddam Hussein’s iron-handeddictatorship on ordinary people and everyday life. LikeThe Kite Runner and The Bookseller of Kabul, it brings tolife the human tragedies behind the headlines.

Nabeel Yasin grew up in Baghdad during the late 1950s and’60s in a large and loving middle-class family, and he soonbecame Iraq’s most famous young poet. Saddam’s rise to

power, however, ushered in an era of fear, repression, imprison-ment, and betrayal that made life in Baghdad intolerable forNabeel and his family. Declared an “enemy of the state,” he becamethe victim of a series of brutal beatings at the hands of the Ba’athParty’s secret police, and ultimately f led Iraq in 1979. His mother,four brothers, and two sisters remained behind. Not all of themwould survive.

Written by Jo Tatchell, a journalist who has spent many years inthe Middle East, NABEEL'S SONG is the gripping story of afamily and its fateful encounter with history. From a warm, light-hearted look at the Yasin family before Saddam Hussein's dicta-torship, to the tale of Nabeel’s persecution and daring f light—and the suspense-filled account of his family’s rebellion againstSaddam's regime—NABEEL'S SONG is a deeply personalchronicle of a country and a culture devastated by politicalrepression and war.

“A moving personal tale of family life and love torn apart by perse-cution and destruction under a crude regime. The story shinesthrough, engrossing in its horror, doubly powerful for the knowl-edge that a happy ending is still far away.”

—Financial Times (London)

JO TATCHELL writes on Middle Eastern culture for avariety of U.K. and U.S. media outlets, including TheGuardian (London). NABEEL YASIN, one of Iraq’s mostcelebrated poets, is best known for the epic poem“Brother Yasin.” Since 1990 he has lived in the U.K. withhis wife and two sons.

From the renowned founder of Stratfor, THE NEXTHUNDRED YEARS provides a fascinating forecast ofthe worldwide events we will see in the twenty-firstcentury—from power shifts to coming wars to newtechnologies that will affect the way we live.

George Friedman is a leading expert in geopolitical forecast-ing, sought out for his thoughtful assessment of currenttrends and explanation of near-future events. In THE

NEXT HUNDRED YEARS, Friedman turns his keen analyticeye on the future. Drawing on a profound understanding of histo-ry—and consistent geopolitical patterns dating back to theRoman Empire—he shows that we are now, for the first time inhalf a millennium, experiencing the dawn of a new historical cycle.

For five hundred years, from 1492 to 1991, European power ruledthe world. After World War II, however, a series of civil wars andpower shifts deprived Europe of its empire and put an end to itsdominance. With the fall of the Soviet Union, the European epochcame to an end and the United States has now assumed the man-tle of global power. Friedman spells out exactly what this willmean in the coming century:

• A specific series of apparent miscalculations by the UnitedStates will give it greater power in the global arena

• At least one major war, and several unexpected civil wars, willerupt in the next fifty years

• A crisis will develop between Pacific Rim nations as Japan, nowthe world’s second largest economy, fights for its share of geo-political power and China undergoes a major internal upheaval

• Space exploration will play an important role in the twenty-firstcentury, which will see the militarization of space, and eventuallythe exploitation of resources on the moon and other planets.

THE NEXT HUNDRED YEARS is a compelling, realistic, andeye-opening portrait of the future.

GEORGE FRIEDMAN is the chairman and founder of Stratfor, theworld’s leading private intelligence company. He is frequently calledupon as a media expert and is the author of four books, including mostrecently America’s Secret War, and numerous articles on national security,information warfare, computer security, and the intelligence business.He lives in Austin, Texas.

as no one else has.

THE

CHRON

Like Marilyn Monroe, the real Diana remains elusive after her untimely death, in spite of themountains of books, magazine articles, and photographs that document her extraordinary life.Was she “the people’s princess,” who electrified the world not only with her beauty, but with

Here you will meet aformidable female cast: Diana’s sexually charged mother, her scheming grandmother, the stepmothershe hated, her competitive sister, and a terrifying trio of in-laws and relations—from bad-girl Fergie anddisappointed Princess Margaret to the implacable Queen Mother and society-climbing Princess Michaelof Kent. Add Camilla Parker-Bowles, the ultimate “other woman,” into this treacherous mix, and it’s nowonder that Diana broke out of her royal cage into celebrity culture, where she found her own powerand used it to devastating effect.

A young policewoman breaks all the rules to get to thebottom of the mysterious death of the best friend shebetrayed, in this stunning follow-up thriller from theauthor of Suspect and Lost.

Ali Barba, a Sikh detective with the Metropolitan Police, isrecovering from injuries sustained in the line of duty whenshe receives a letter from her estranged friend, Cate,

imploring her to come to their high school reunion. Alarmed bythe urgent tone of the note, and eager to make amends for herunforgivable past behavior, Ali goes to the reunion. Cate is preg-nant, but before Ali has the chance to congratulate her, Cate hur-riedly whispers, “They want to take my baby. You have to stopthem.” It is the only hint of Cate’s troubles Ali manages to get; asthey are leaving the reunion, Cate and her husband are run downby a car and killed. The mystery darkens when it is discovered thatCate had faked her pregnancy by tying a pillow underneath herdress.

All Ali has to go on is a file in Cate’s desk that contains two ultra-sound pictures, letters from a fertility clinic, and various papersthat seem to confirm the unborn baby’s existence. As she putstogether the pieces, Ali uncovers a complicated, horrific networkthat exploits young refugees from Serbia. Her search takes her toAmsterdam and into the company of some very unsavory peopleon both sides of the Channel who'll do anything to thwart herinvestigation.

In this provocative reinterpretation of our nation’shistory, one of today’s leading conservative thinkersargues that America was conceived and founded as anew Jerusalem and continues to represent a religiousidea to our admirers and detractors alike.

What does it mean to “believe” in America? Why do wespeak of our country as having a purpose that is higherthan those of other nations? In a spare, compact,

almost scriptural narrative, David Gelernter traces the emergenceof America as the embodiment of a powerful religious idea.

AMERICANISM begins with the Puritan settlers in NewEngland who saw themselves as the new children of Israel andwhose faith-based ideals of liberty, equality, and democratic gover-nance had a greater inf luence on the nation’s founders than theEnlightenment. Over subsequent generations, the Bible-basedconcepts of the Puritans were gradually transformed into a secu-lar religion of freedom. Gelernter illustrates the impact ofAmerica’s idealistic fighting faith on the major events in our history,from the Revolution and the Civil War to World Wars I and II, theCold War, and the current War on Terror. In fascinating profiles, hebrings to light the seminal roles played by Abraham Lincoln, TeddyRoosevelt, and Woodrow Wilson in strengthening and promulgat-ing the religion of Americanism at home and abroad.

A religion without a god, Americanism has followers throughoutthe world. Its adherents have included oppressed peoples every-where—from the patriots of the Hungarian Revolution to themartyred Chinese dissidents of Tiananmen Square. AMERI-CANISM is a powerful reminder of America’s dedication tospreading freedom—surely one of the most profound and beauti-ful religious ideas the world has ever known.

DAVID GELERNTER is a professor of computer scienceat Yale University, chief scientist at Mirror WorldsTechnologies, and a contributing editor at The WeeklyStandard. He is the author of The Muse in the Machine,Machine Beauty, and 1939: The Lost World of the Fair,and has written for Commentary, ArtNews, and TheWashington Post. He lives in New Haven, Connecticut.

A witty, philosophical murder mystery with a charm-ing twist: the crack detectives are sheep determinedto discover who killed their beloved shepherd.

On a hillside near the cozy Irish village of Glennkill, a f lockof sheep gathers around their shepherd, George, whosebody lies pinned to the ground with a spade. George has

cared for the f lock, reading them a number of books every night.The daily exposure to literature has made them far savvier aboutthe workings of the human mind than your average sheep. Led byMiss Maple, the smartest sheep in Glennkill (and possibly theworld), they set out to find George’s killer.

The A-team of investigators includes Othello, the “bad-boy” blackram; Mopple the Whale, a merino who eats a lot and rememberseverything; and Zora, a pensive black-faced ewe with a weaknessfor abysses. Joined by other members of the richly talented f lock,they engage in nightlong discussions about the crime, includingwild metaphysical speculations, and embark on reconnaissancemissions into the village, where they encounter some likely sus-pects. There’s Ham, the terrifying butcher; Rebecca, a village new-comer with a secret and a scheme; Gabriel, the shady shepherd ofa very odd f lock; and Father William, a sinister priest. Along theway, the sheep confront their own all-too-human struggles withguilt, misdeeds, and unrequited love.

THREE BAGS FULL is already an international hit. “It's rather asif Agatha Christie had re-written The Wind in the Willows, and Iended by loving it,” Jane Jakeman wrote in The Independent.Funny, fresh, and endearing, it introduces a wonderful breed ofdetectives to American readers.

THE EXCEPTIONA Novel

Christian Jungersen

A bestseller throughout Europe, THE EXCEPTION is agripping dissection of the nature of evil and of theparanoia and obsessions that drive ordinary people tocommit unthinkable acts.

Four women work together for a small nonprofit that dissem-inates information on genocide. When two of them receivedeath threats, they immediately believe the messages come

from one of the war criminals whom they have recently profiled intheir articles. But as the tensions mount among the women, theydiscover that none of them is exactly the person they seem to be.Their obsession with tracking down the killer turns into a witchhunt: one by one, the women dismiss the idea that the threatswere sent from the outside and begin to suspect each other, dis-closing the jealousies and contempt that have been simmering justbeneath the surface as they resort to bullying and victimization.Yet these are people who daily analyze cases of appalling crueltyon a worldwide scale, and who are intimate with the psychologyof evil.

A tautly woven philosophical drama with all the trimmings ofan electrifying murder mystery, THE EXCEPTION heraldsChristian Jungersen as a gifted storyteller and keen observer of thehuman psyche.

“Readers who have yearned for a new novel from Peter Hoeg canfind a fully satisfactory equivalent in this novel.” —Ekstra Blader

“Read THE EXCEPTION on holiday, when it matters less if youcan’t sleep. . . .It’s a horribly vivid and fiendishly clever novel.”

—The Independent (London)

“Plenty of books promise to change their readers’ lives. Fewsucceed. THE EXCEPTION is truly an exception.”

—The Economist

CHRISTIAN JUNGERSEN’s novel Thickets won the BestFirst Novel award in Denmark.THE EXCEPTION, his sec-ond novel, won Denmark’s prestigious Golden Laurelsprize and is his first novel to be translated into English.He divides his time between Dublin and Copenhagen.

From the acclaimed author of The Water In Betweencomes a beautifully written, epic novel of the CanadianArctic, infused with stark beauty, fierce truths, and theclash between Inuit tradition and modernity.

Born on the tundra in the 1950s, Victoria knows nothing butthe nomadic hunting life of the Inuit until, at the age of ten,she is diagnosed with tuberculosis and evacuated to a south-

ern sanitarium. During her six-year stay, she learns Cree andEnglish and becomes accustomed to books and radio, sunbathingand store-bought food. When she returns home at sixteen, shefinds a radically changed world. Even her father, Emo, a legendaryhunter, has come in off the land to work in a mine in Rankin Inleton the edge of Hudson Bay. And Victoria has herself become astranger to her family and her culture.

Vividly evoking the modern contradictions of the Arctic—walrusmeat and convenience food, midnight sun and twenty-four-hoursatellite TV, dog teams and diamond mines—CONSUMPTIONtakes us into the heart of Victoria's internal exile. Many love her,but none can heal her. Not her husband, Robertson, who slowlybecomes estranged from her as he pursues the economic opportu-nities the north offers white men. Not her Inuit lover, who canonly comfort her with glimpses of her lost childhood. And espe-cially not the local doctor, Keith Balthazar, who has come toRankin Inlet from New York to escape scrutiny.

A penetrating portrait of generational divisions and cultural dis-sonance, CONSUMPTION illuminates how the tenuous bondsof friendship, love, and family f ly apart—and the unexpectedlytender ways in which survivors carry on.

KEVIN PATTERSON is the author of the memoir TheWater In Between, which was a New York Times NotableBook. Country of Cold, his short fiction collection, wonthe Rogers Writers’ Trust Fiction Prize, as well as theinaugural City of Victoria Butler Book Prize. He lives onSaltspring Island, Canada.

Lavishly illustrated with more than one hundred images,this monumental exploration of the significance of theserpent in the ancient world offers a surprising new viewof one of the most ubiquitous symbols in human history.

When asked what the word serpent brings to mind, mostChristians, Jews, and Muslims would describe it as theincarnation of “the Devil” or “evil.” The same is true of

the scholarly world—the vast majority of scholarship on the sym-bolism of the serpent has stressed its negative connotations, seeingit as a representation of iniquity and deceit or of the dangerous,“sinful” aspects of sex. James Charlesworth challenges this acceptedwisdom in THE GOOD AND EVIL SERPENT and shows thatits appearances as a positive symbol, in fact, far outnumber thenegative.

Drawing on sources ranging from the Bible and other religioustexts to works of history, philosophy, and art history, to actual arti-facts like statues and jewelry, Charlesworth reveals the complexand subtle meanings the serpent held for ancient civilizations. Hediscusses the widespread use of serpent imagery to symbolize wis-dom, rejuvenation, and eternal life, and illustrates the specific waysvarious cultures and belief systems interpreted and depicted theserpent’s powers. In ancient Egypt, for instance, the image of anupright hooded cobra was commonly employed as a protectiveicon. In many cultures, serpents represent health and healing. Thefamiliar caduceus of Western medicine originated with theentwined serpents carved on the staff of the legendary Greek heal-er Aesculapius, and Moses fashioned a serpent of brass on a pole toward off snakes in the wilderness.

Illustrated with more than one hundred black-and-white images,THE GOOD AND EVIL SERPENT is the definitive investiga-tion into the creature that has been both revered and vilified byhuman societies throughout history.

JAMES H. CHARLESWORTH is George L. Collord Professor of NewTestament Language and Literature at Princeton Theological Seminary.He is an ordained minister in the United Methodist Church and theauthor of the two-volume Old Testament Pseudepigrapha in the AnchorBible Reference Library.

Political Science/Political Ideologies—Conservatism and Liberalism240 pages61⁄8 x 91⁄4





This revelatory look at the most controversial group inAmerican political history traces the growth of theneoconservative movement from the 1930s to thepresent day.

How did an obscure band of policy intellectuals rise tobecome the power behind George W. Bush? Where did“the best and the rightest” come from and what do they

hope to accomplish?

Jacob Heilbrunn presents a portrait of the men who make up theinner circle of neoconservatism today, bringing them to life againsta background rich in historical detail and political insight. A friendof many of its leading figures, Heilbrunn is sympathetic to themovement yet brutally honest in revealing its f laws.

The story of the neocons is a saga of immigrant assimilation,whose seeds lie in the Jewish intellectual circles of the 1930s,when communists loyal to Stalin clashed with Trotskyites overcommunist theory and its applications in the real world. In trac-ing the evolution of neoconservatism (including a look at theinf luence of the mysterious Leo Strauss), Heilbrunn shows howgenerations of Jews moved from the margins of political and intel-lectual life to replace the old WASP elite and now play a centralrole in determining U.S. policy in the Middle East. He also revealsthat it is—despite the vehement denials of its nexus—essentiallya Jewish phenomenon. The first book to explain and defend theideology that will continue to shape the Bush administration, it isvital reading for all Americans.

JACOB HEILBRUNN is a frequent columnist for the LosAngeles Times and has written for a wide variety of pub-lications, including The New Republic and The WeeklyStandard. He lives in Washington, D.C.

The critically acclaimed, definitive biography of themost celebrated—and controversial—preacher of thenineteenth century, which The Washington Times calls“a rich multihued tapestry of a man and an era.”

Henry Ward Beecher was a charismatic, stunningly giftedman who found international fame by shedding his minis-ter father’s fire-and-brimstone theology and instead

preaching a gospel of unconditional love and healing, becomingone of the founding fathers of modern American Christianity. Bythe 1850s his spectacular sermons at Plymouth Church inBrooklyn Heights had made him New York’s number one touristattraction and he was, by most counts, the most celebrated publicfigure in America.

And then it all fell apart. In 1872 Beecher was accused by feministfirebrand Victoria Woodhull of adultery with one of his mostpious parishioners. The cuckolded husband brought charges of“criminal conversation” in a salacious trial that became the mostwidely covered event of the century. Beecher survived but his rep-utation and his causes—from women’s rights to progressive evan-gelicalism—suffered devastating setbacks that echo to this day.

“Remarkable. . .[Applegate] is simply masterly [and] tells thefantastic story with novelistic f lair and penetration into theever-changing motives and expediencies of its many actors.”

“Applegate. . .rescues Beecher from popular obscurity in this illu-minating and thorough book.” —The Washington Post

As theknowledge-based economy (a reality the Toff lers predicted fortyyears ago) continues to replace the industrial-based economy,money is no longer the sole determinate of wealth. The Toff lersexplain that we are becoming a nation of “prosumers,” consumingwhat we ourselves produce, and argue that we have all taken on“third jobs”—work we unwittingly do without pay for some ofthe biggest corporations in the country. Using fascinating examplesfrom our daily lives, they illustrate how our everyday activities—from parenting to blogging to improving our diets—contribute toa non-monetary economy largely hidden from economists.Writing with the same insight and clarity that made their earlierbooks bestsellers, the Toff lers present fresh, groundbreaking newways of thinking about wealth.

In this original approach to the history of the UnitedStates, James Moore focuses on the extraordinary rolethat prayer has played in every area of American life,from the time of the first settlers to the present day.

ONE NATION UNDER GOD brings together the coun-try’s hymns, patriotic anthems, arts, and literature as aframework for telling the story of the innermost

thoughts of the people who have shaped the United States weknow today. Beginning with Native Americans, Moore traces theprayer lives of Quakers and Shakers, Sikhs and Muslims, Catholicsand Jews, from their earliest days in the United States through theadvent of cyberspace, the aftermath of 9/11, and the 2004 presi-dential election. It probes the approach to prayer by such diverseindividuals as Benjamin Franklin, Elvis Presley, Martha Graham,Cesar Chavez, P. T. Barnum, Jackie Robinson, and ChristopherColumbus. It includes every president of the United States as wellas America’s farmers, clergy, immigrants, industrialists, miners,sports heroes, and scientists.

A stirring chronicle of the spiritual life of a nation, ONE NATIONUNDER GOD shows how the faith of Americans—from thefounding fathers to corporate tycoons, from composers to socialreformers, from generals to slaves—was an essential ingredient inthe formation of American culture, character, commerce, andcreed.

“ONE NATION UNDER GOD speaks uniquely and eloquentlyto the resounding spiritual life and common heritage that weshare as a people. I am convinced that this book will be discussedin America’s churches, town halls, and coffee shops for a verylong time to come.” —Senator John McCain

For years, Opus Dei has been the subject of conspiracytheories and dark, uninformed speculation. OPUS DEIprovides unique insight about the wild rumors sur-rounding the organization and discloses its significantinfluence in the Vatican and on the politics of theCatholic Church.

Opus Dei (literally “the work of God”) is an internationalassociation of conservative Catholics who seek personalChristian perfection and strive to implement Christian

ideals in their jobs and in society as a whole. But far from runningbingo nights at local parishes, Opus Dei has become a center ofcontroversy and suspicion both within and outside of the Church.With the expert eye of a longtime trusted observer of the Vaticanand the skill of an investigative reporter intent on uncoveringclosely guarded secrets, John Allen finally separates the mythsfrom the facts in OPUS DEI. Granted unlimited access to theprelate who heads the organization and to Opus Dei centersthroughout the world, Allen draws on a wealth of interviews withcurrent members—as well as highly critical ex-members—to cre-ate an unprecedented portrait of the activities, practices, andintentions behind its veil of secrecy. Allen reveals the remarkablepower that Opus Dei commands in shaping Vatican policy andpresents a detailed look at the full extent of its network, whichincludes people in key positions in politics, banking, academia, andother inf luential arenas.

“Rigorously balanced and thoroughly researched, not to mentionexceptionally well written.” —Star Tribune

This groundbreaking exposé of the mistreatment ofnuns by the Catholic Church reveals a history of unful-filled promises, misuse of clerical power, and a devas-tating failure to recognize the singular contributionsof these religious women.

The Roman Catholic Church in America has lost nearly100,000 religious sisters in the last forty years, a muchlarger loss than in the priesthood. While the explanation is

partly cultural—contemporary women have more choices inwork and life—Kenneth Briggs contends that the rapid disap-pearance of convents can be traced directly to the Church’sbetrayal of the promises of reform made by the Second VaticanCouncil.

In DOUBLE CROSSED, Briggs documents the pattern of mar-ginalization and exploitation that has reduced nuns to second-and even third-class citizens within the Catholic Church.America’s religious sisters were remarkable, adventurouswomen. They educated children, managed health care of thesick, and reached out to the poor and homeless. They went to uni-versities and into executive chairs. Their efforts and successes,however, brought little appreciation from the Church, whichdemeaned their roles, deprived them of power, and placed themunder the absolute authority of the all-male clergy.

Replete with quotations from nuns and former nuns, DOUBLECROSSED uncovers a dark secret at the heart of the CatholicChurch. Their voices and Briggs’s research provide compellinginsights into why the number of religious sisters has declined soprecipitously in recent decades—and why, unless reforms areintroduced, nuns may vanish forever in America.

“Balanced, well-researched exploration of the vanishing world ofnuns in America.” —Kirkus Reviews

KENNETH BRIGGS has written on religious topics formore than thirty years. He began his career as the firstreligion writer at Newsday and was the religion editor atThe New York Times from 1974 to 1985. He is the authorof Holy Siege, has written articles for numerous publica-tions, and is a regular contributor to Beliefnet.com.

In this explosive manifesto, biblical scholar and activistObery Hendricks fearlessly examines contemporaryChristian faith in light of the revolutionary heart ofJesus’ teachings.The result is a book as controversial asit is compelling.

Who was Jesus? And how was this first-century politicalrevolutionary, whose teachings were meant to lead theway to freedom, turned into a meek and mild servant of

the status quo? How is it possible to profess a belief in Jesus yetignore the suffering of the poor and the needy? Just how trulyfaithful to the vision of Jesus are the many politicians who claim tobe Christian? These are the kinds of questions Obery Hendricks, abiblical scholar, activist, and minister, asks in this provocative book.In this day and age of heated political debate, Hendricks’s THEPOLITICS OF JESUS stands out as much for its brilliant re-creation of the life and mind of Jesus of Nazareth as for its scathingcritique of modern politicians “of faith.”

“This book is a grand prophetic work—courageous in its message,meticulous in its scholarship, and relevant in its challenge to oursleepwalking times.” —Cornel West, university professor of

religion, Princeton University

“An instant classic—a book of stunning erudition, remarkableeloquence, and political courage. . . . Hendricks’s book is thatnearly impossible combination: brilliant intellectual study andpractical programmatic prescription. THE POLITICS OFJESUS immediately thrusts Obery Hendricks, Jr., to the frontranks of American religious thinkers.”

—Michael Eric Dyson, author of Pride: The Seven Deadly Sins

OBERY M. HENDRICKS, Jr., is a professor of biblical inter-pretation at the New York Theological Seminary, anOrdained Elder in the African Methodist EpiscopalChurch, and the author of Living Water. He has served asa professor at Drew University, as a visiting scholar atPrinceton Theological Seminary, and as president ofPayne Theological Seminary, the oldest African Americantheological institution in the United States. He lives inNew Jersey.
