Excerpt:

It seems like a lifetime ago—which, ofcourse, it was . . . all that and more.And a good life, too, though it didn’talways feel that way.

From the very start, I had stability,measurable happiness, a perfect life.Everything has its place, and everyplace has its thing. I knew my role inthe world; everybody did. What morecould anyone want? For a certain sortof person that question can never beanswered, and it was a question I hadto answer for myself in my own way.

Now that I look back with all themileage of my experiences, I canmeasure my life and compare the hap-piness of what should have been—according to the Watchmaker—withthe happiness that actually was.

Even though I feel old and full ofdays now, I wish that I could live itall again.

Excerpt:

Shai pressed her fingernail into one of the stone blocks of her prison cell. The stone gave wayslightly. She rubbed the dust between her fingers, frowning. “Limestone?” she asked softly.“Who makes a cell out of limestone?”

Of course, the whole cell wasn’t of limestone, merely that single block. Shai had counted twen-ty-seven different kinds of stone so far, including several she didn’t know the names of. Thatwould make escape tough. Very tough.

This was a cell that had been designed to hold a Forger. She knelt down beside her bunk, usinga fork—she’d bent back all of the tines but one—to carve notes into the wood of one leg. She’dengraved a cross work pattern on another side, with numbers representing the stones of theback wall of her cell. Without her spectacles, she had to squint to see what she’d carved there.

She wrote out, with some difficulty, the word limestone in the key representing the stone blockshe’d just identified.

“Honestly,” she growled as she worked. “They sentence a girl to death. They could at least giveher a sheet of paper.”

“A sheet of paper?” The amused voice came from outside the cell. “You actually asked forone?”

Shai jumped at the voice, standing and tucking her hand behind her back to hide the fork.Stealing that had been unpleasant. If she lost it . . .

But it was only the court fool. The man’s hawkish face was capped by a three-pointed jester’scrown, though his was of simple white and black, not the traditional brazen colors. He wore adeep black coat, long and flowing, almost like one of the grand. He shouldn’t have been able toget away with such deviations; the grand liked their fools on the silly side of ridiculous.

Excerpt from “Harry and Marlowe and the Talisman of theCult of Egil” by Carrie Vaughn:

Here it was, lying on a bed of stone, inert. Such an innocu-ous artifact, one that would go unnoticed on any machin-ist’s workbench. A coil of copper wire wrapped around asteel cylinder just a few inches long, inset with an other-worldly crystal that seemed to glow faintly green with itsown light, like a distant aurora. Truly otherworldly, as ithappened.

Harry had searched for the object for more than a year,scouring ancient manuscripts, picking apart the threads ofunlikely stories, tracking down reliable eyewitness accountsand separating them from fabrications, deciding whichmyths had a seed of fact within them and which were purefolly. Finally, she planned the expedition and arranged herdisappearance from polite society for a month or more toembark on said expedition—leading to the moment thatwould make all the effort worthwhile. Or confirm that shehad wasted her time utterly.

It would seem, she was pleased to note, that she hadn’t.

Excerpt from “The Mystery Knight: A Tale of the Seven Kingdoms” by George R. R. Martin:

It was almost dawn before the rain let up enough for the combat to take place. The castle yard was a morass of soft mud, glisteningwetly by the light of a hundred torches. Beyond the field a gray mist was rising, sending ghostly fingers up the pale stone walls to graspthe castle battlements. Many of the wedding guests had vanished during the intervening hours, but those who remained climbed theviewing stand again and settled themselves on planks of rain-soaked pine. Amongst them stood Ser Gormon Peake, surrounded by aknot of lesser lords and household knights.

It had only been a few years since Dunk had squired for old Ser Arlan. He had not forgotten how. He cinched the buckles on SerGlendon’s ill-fitting armor, fastened his helm to his gorget, helped him mount, and handed him his shield. Earlier contests had left deepgouges in the wood, but the blazing fireball could still be seen. He looks as young as Egg, Dunk thought. A frightened boy, and grim. Hissorrel mare was unbarded, and skittish as well. He should have stayed with his own mount. The sorrel may be better bred and swifter,but a rider rides best on a horse that he knows well, and this one is a stranger to him.

“I’ll need a lance,” Ser Glendon said. “A war lance.”

Dunk went to the racks. War lances were shorter and heavier than the tourney lances that had been used in all the earlier tilts; eight feetof solid ash ending in an iron point. Dunk chose one and pulled it out, running his hand along its length to make sure it had no cracks.

Excerpt from “Nothing Will Hurt You” by David Morrell:

Later the song would have agonizing significance for him.“I can't stop hearing it,” Chad would tell his psychiatristand fight to control his rapid breathing. His eyes wouldache. “It doesn’t matter what I’m doing, meeting a client,talking to a publisher, reading a manuscript, walkingthrough Central Park, even going to the bathroom, I hearthat song! I’ve tried my damnedest not to. I hardly sleep,but when I manage to, I wake up, feeling I’ve been hum-ming it all night.”

Chad vividly remembered the first time he’d heard it. Hecould date it exactly: Wednesday, April 20, 1979. He couldgive the time precisely: 9:46 p.m., because although he’dfound the song poignant and the singer’s performance out-standing, he'd felt an odd compulsion to glance at hiswatch. It must have been a tougher day than I realized, he’dthought. So tired. Nine forty-six. Is that all?

Sweeney Todd. The Demon Barber of Fleet Street. StephenSondheim’s musical had opened on Broadway in March, acritical success, tickets impossible to get, except that Chadhad a playwright client with contacts in the productioncompany. When Chad’s wife, Linda, broke one of their mar-riage’s rules and gave Chad a surprise birthday party, theclient (pretending to be a magician) pulled two tickets frombehind Chad’s ear. “Happy forty-second, old buddy.”

Excerpt from “Godzilla’s Twelve-Step Program”by Joe R. Lansdale

ONE: Honest Work

Godzilla, on his way to work at the foundry, sees a largebuilding that seems to be mostly made of shiny copper anddark, reflecting solar glass. He sees his image in the glassand thinks of the old days, wonders what it would be liketo stomp on the building, to blow flames at it, kiss the win-dows black with his burning breath, then dance rapturouslyin the smoking debris.

One day at a time, he tells himself. One day at a time.

Godzilla makes himself look at the building hard. He passesit by. He goes to the foundry. He puts on his hard hat. Heblows his fiery breath into the great vat full of used carparts, turns the car parts to molten metal. The metal runsthrough pipes and into new molds for new car parts.Doors. Roofs. Etc.

Godzilla feels some of the tension drain out.

Excerpt:

Durham was waiting for me at the Researchers’ Terminus. I pulledthe recorder disc out of my halo, fed it to the computer, and thenstepped out of the warp chamber. While the computer analyzedmy recording to see if I had broken any of one thousand, fivehundred and sixty-three regulations, I took off my robe and myblond hair and dumped them and my halo into Durham’s arms.

“Well?” he said, not impatient, just intent, not even seeing me as Ipulled a skirt and tunic over my head. I was still cold, and worriedabout my researcher’s license, which the computer would refuseto return if I had violated history. Durham had eyes like CottonMather’s, I saw for the first time: dark, burning, but with a sugges-tion of humor in them. “What did you find? Speak to me, Nici.”

“Nothing,” I said shortly. “You’re out several million credits fornothing. It was a completely dreary bit of history, not withoutheroism but entirely without poetry. And if I’ve lost my licensebecause of this—I’m not even sure I understand what you’retrying to do.”

“I’m researching for a history of imaginative thought.”

Durham was always researching unreadable subjects. “Startingwhen?” I asked tersely, pulling on a boot. “The cave paintings atLascaux?”

“No art,” he said. “More speculative than that. Less formal.Closer to chaos.” He smiled, reading my mind. “Like me.”

• Co-op available• Advertising in Bookforum, Booklist, Harper’s, the Nation, the New YorkReview of Books, and Utne Reader

Reflecting on a sensational murder trial from the late 1930s, thischronicle focuses upon the death of Harry Barck, a poormaster whowas granted the authority to decide who would and would notreceive public aid in Hoboken, New Jersey. Unemployed mason JoeScutellaro was said to have stabbed Barck in the heart with a paperspike after the poormaster suggested that Scutellaro’s wife prostituteherself on the streets rather than ask the city for aid. A legal teamled by celebrated defender Samuel S. Leibowitz of “ScottsboroBoys” fame swooped into Hoboken from Manhattan to saveScutellaro from the electric chair, arguing that the jobless man’sstruggle with the poormaster was a symbol of larger social ills. Thebook details Leibowitz’s transformation of the Scutellaro trial intoan indictment of public relief as a tool for imposing social and polit-ical control nationwide. Grappling with issues that are still vitalnow—massive unemployment, endemic poverty, and the inadequacyof public assistance—this examination lends insight into the currentsocial contract, relaying a gripping narrative that shockingly readslike today’s news.

Excerpt:

The morning the poormaster was killed, twenty-three menand women were waiting for him outside his office. Just afew weeks earlier, a nationwide recession had returnedthem to the desperation of the Depression’s early days,when millions had been forced to scavenge for scraps offood. Grim, already exhausted despite the hour, they linedthe reception room and the walls of the narrow adjoininghallway. They waited to plead with Harry Barck for somebread tickets, or a check for a few dollars. Their spousesand children waited, too, on the other side of town fromcity hall, in tenement rooms gone cold and dark throughunpaid bills.

The poormaster made quick work of the line that morning.In fewer than fifteen minutes he had dismissed six aid-seek-ers, not even bothering to fill in the section on his printedRelief Client list that called for the number of relativesdependent on each interviewee. “Next case!” the waitingmen and women heard him shout each time his door wasopened by a rejected applicant. “Next!”

An exposé of the fight to end a controversial policy

Fighting to ServeBehind the Scenes in the War to Repeal “Don’t Ask,Don’t Tell”Alexander Nicholson

• Co-op available• Advertising in Harper’s and OutServe magazines

Revealing the backstage strategies and negotiations that led to the2010 repeal of the Pentagon’s “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” (DADT) poli-cy, this history offers a detailed, no-holds-barred account of the con-troversial policy from an insider’s perspective. In early 2006, thefounder of the largest organization for gay and lesbian servicemem-bers—Servicemembers United—along with fellow former militarymembers who had also been discharged under the DADT policy,toured the United States, speaking about the repeal campaign atAmerican Legion posts, on radio talk shows, and at press confer-ences across the South and both coasts. Surprised at the mostly posi-tive reception and momentum for the repeal that the tour received,Servicemembers United was suddenly propelled to the forefront ofDADT’s repeal fight. From the unique perspective of the only personwith a central role on every front in the war against DADT, thisexamination exposes how various Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, andTransgender (LGBT) organizations, Congress, and the White Houseoften worked at cross purposes, telling the public they were doingone thing while advocating other strategies behind closed doors.

Alexander Nicholson is the founder and executive director ofServicemembers United, the nation’s largest organization of LGBTtroops and veterans, and was the only person engaged with everyaspect of the “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” fight—the grassroots, themedia, the U.S. Congress, the administration, the Pentagon, and thecourts. He lives in Washington, DC.

Excerpt:

After going around the table, shaking everyone’s hand, andexchanging pleasantries, the president sat in his chair in themiddle of the conference table and began to lecture us onour community’s impatience, his role as commander-in-chief, and other assorted topics. I thought it funny that hefelt the need to remind us that as commander-in-chief, hehad certain responsibilities and considerations in policy thatwe civilian activists didn’t necessarily understand. He obvi-ously didn’t catch, or no one informed him, that two of usin the room—Jarrod and I—had actually served in the mili-tary under DADT, the only two in the room again, and thatwe understood broader defense policy considerations quitewell. If that wasn’t evident in our higher-level conversationswith them, it was certainly pasted all over the media as wespecifically sought to educate the rest of the progressivecommunity on why certain options were not realistic andwhy others were, all based on nuanced defense policy con-siderations. But instead of taking advantage of the opportu-nity to engage at a more advanced level on where we wereand what still needed to get done, we got lectured on theleast common denominator by the president.

Excerpt:

Vrdolyak sat in his office chair; papers were piled high atophis desk. Glaring at the young man with a ten-thousand-pound stare, Vrdolyak asked how he could help. Blagojevichexplained the connection to his father’s friend and wanted tosee if Vrdolyak could get him a job for the summer, prefer-ably as a law clerk for the city. He needed legal experience.

“You have my resume,” Blagojevich said.

Sure, sure, Vrdolyak answered. “What ward do you live in?”

Blagojevich didn’t have a clue. He told Vrdolyak he lived in“Ted Lechowicz’s” ward, name-dropping the powerfulNorthwest Side Democratic committeeman, Cook Countycommissioner, and former Illinois state senator, adding hethought that was the Thirty-Sixth Ward.

Vrdolyak looked at him incredulously. You live in theThirtieth Ward, he corrected him before picking up thephone and instructing someone on the other end to come tohis office. Minutes later, in walked George Hagopian, alder-man of the Thirtieth Ward.

“This kid lives in your ward,” Vrdolyak told him. See whatyou can do for him.

An extraordinary yet almost unknown chapter in American his-tory is revealed in this extensively researched exposé. On July 1,1893, President Grover Cleveland boarded a friend’s yacht andwas not heard from for five days. During that time, a team ofdoctors removed a cancerous tumor from the president’s palatealong with much of his upper jaw.When an enterprising reporternamed E. J. Edwards exposed the secret operation, Clevelanddenied it and Edwards was consequently dismissed as a disgraceto journalism. Twenty-four years later, one of the president’s doc-tors finally revealed the incredible truth, but many Americanssimply would not believe it. After all, Grover Cleveland’s politi-cal career was built upon honesty—his most memorable quotewas “Tell the truth”—so it was nearly impossible to believe hewas involved in such a brazen cover-up. This is the first fullaccount of the disappearance of Grover Cleveland during thatsummer more than a century ago.

An exploration into the cultural, natural, and historical significanceof islands, this unique book delves into what islands represent, howdifferent cultures view them, and even the geological roots of islandformations. Islands play a significant role in both the ancient andmodern world, and play an important part in how civilizations wereformed. The book looks at islands through the lens of the philosophi-cal, psychological, biological, and political, as human identity hasrevolved around islands ever since people first discovered them. It cel-ebrates islands for all their worth, whether real or invented, literal orfictitious, as a central part of the human narrative.

BLUEBRIDGE FEBRUARY

Excerpt:

Imagined or real, some islands are barren, some are beau-tiful, and all are a part of the world we live in. Togetherthey embody much of what we dream about, and much ofwhat we dread. Almost all of our thoughts and feelings,our hopes and fears, have an island counterpart, andsome say islands are so bound into our consciousness thatthey define what it is to be human. There are islands ofsolitude, and islands with a social life––and not always aneasy one. Ideals of domestic life, civilized and settled, areroutinely represented in island images; and so are ideas ofthe wild and the barbaric and the border between them.And both of these can sustain the sense of communitythat islands often celebrate. Much of our philosophical,psychological, and political identity is realized in islandimagery; and so, interestingly, is our technology, frominsulin to insulation.

The history of islands is also the history of planet earth,from its beginning as an island in space to its currentposition as part of the archipelago that is our solar sys-tem, and from the moment land first appeared above thewaters that covered the earth to the contemporaryappearance and disappearance of islands in the cycles ofclimate change and seismic upheaval that make up andbreak up our world.

Excerpt:

To restate my argument once more: “The likes of the New YorkTimes, which employs members of the Council on ForeignRelations (CFR) including Wikileaks’ collaborator David E. Sanger,has proven more than once to be a propaganda tool for the USgovernment.” The New York Times (Bilderberg, CFR), theGuardian (the left wing of the British intelligence agencies), DerSpiegel (Bilderberg), the London Economist (Bilderberg). Theselarge corporations are directly involved in the editing and selectionof leaked documents. With the New York Times / the Guardian /Der Spiegel / the London Economist, “Wikileaks has enlisted thearchitects of media disinformation to fight media disinformation:An incongruous and self-defeating procedure,” especially in light ofpast media transgressions.

We are led to believe that money-laundering is the domain ofRussian Mafia and their Italian and Colombian cousins and a smallgroup of unscrupulous Wall Street bankers. Far from it. Intimatelyinvolved in the money-laundering business are the most importantbanks in the US, sustaining America’s global power through moneylaundering and management of illegally obtained overseas funds.Again quoting James Petras in the same source, “Washington andthe mass media have portrayed the US as being in the forefront ofthe struggle against narco trafficking, drug laundering and politicalcorruption: the image is of clean white hands fighting dirty money.The truth is exactly the opposite. US banks have developed a highlyelaborate set of policies for transferring illicit funds to the US,investing those funds in legitimate businesses or US governmentbonds and legitimizing them.”

Do we get a sense of any of this through the latest batch ofWikileaks report? Not a word. Welcome to the parallel universe ofsmoke and mirrors.

The legalization of marijuana and the lossof freedom

The 15 Ounce PoundBig Pharma’s Plan to Patent PotJoseph R. Pietri

In the United States, cannabis is currently illegal, but this bookinvestigates how big pharmaceutical companies are looking at anend-game of legality—controlled by them. It examines how theAmsterdam scene has been transformed; how home growershave been manipulated into using inferior techniques; and howcompanies, with help from the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA)and “big pharma,” are patenting cannabis strains for control andprofit. The leadership of the cannabis industry want to legalizemarijuana with taxation and regulation, but the pharmaceuticalindustry cannot take over medical cannabis without first shut-ting down the scene today. The book predicts that legalized pro-duction will be tightly controlled by major players, using the IRSand DEA as a means of removing other growers. Regulation willalso control the amount of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) in eachmarijuana cigarette, forcing stronger cannabis to be available tomedical patients by prescription only. A black market will stillexist, so people will still go to jail, and the drug war will go on.With history and explosive, behind-the-scenes looks at big phar-ma collusion, this book is both an exposé and an in-depth lookat the arc of freedom and probable control through use of phar-maceutical patents for marijuana.

Excerpt:

Around 1987 we were playing the Apollo Theater (again). The show started off with theemcee announcing, “Now ladies and gentleman, the James Brown Show!” and Bam we wereoff into it. I don’t remember what we were playing, but it began with my solo right off thebat. I started playing, walking around the stage for a bit, when I got the funny idea to walkdown into the audience. People went crazy, so I went with it. I walked up and down the aislesjust playing and playing. At some point I saw this couple sitting near the aisle and—I don’tknow what made me decide to do this—I decided to play to just them. Exclusively. As I gotto where they were sitting I motioned for the lady, who was seated on the aisle seat, to standup as if I wanted to dance with her. In the middle of this commotion I realized that it wouldbe funnier if I left her in the aisle and took her seat. I just sat down. The place went crazy.

This woman was dancing and doing her own thing, completely unaware that I was occupyingher seat. Her date, who was now seated next to me, absolutely loved it. I mean he was havinga ball. Once she finally realized that I was in her seat and not dancing, she started laughingas well. It was hilarious—she was finally in on the joke the entire theater had been laughingabout. After the moment was over I politely got up and made my way back to the stage, thecrowd completely in the palm of our hands. It was time for the James Brown Show.

It wasn’t until much later that I found out that the woman who’d stood up to dance with mewas Jane Rose, the famous manager of Keith Richards of the Rolling Stones, and that the guyI was sitting next to, the crazy guy who’d been having such a ball, was Keith himself.

Excerpt:

Jackie Wilson, the man for whom Mary Wells had written “Bye-Bye Baby,” had been her first crush.“I idolized him,” she said. “I grew up with his music.” In 1965, while she and Maye James-Holler werestaying at the Sheraton Hotel in Manhattan, waiting for their luxury apartment to be decorated, Wellsdecided to go to a Jackie Wilson concert. Since she was now an international superstar, Wilson’s han-dlers couldn’t help noticing that she was in the audience. Since they also knew that she had written herfirst song for Wilson, they would have been terribly remiss had they not invited her backstage after theshow. Wilson reminded Wells of how much he admired her singing. Wells reminded him sincerely thatshe thought he was a great artist and that she had admired his music for years. Not one to miss a cue,Wilson, who was separated from his wife, immediately invited her to dinner. She accepted, and theywent out to a fancy restaurant. He immediately heightened his appeal to Wells by educating her onwhat he saw as some of the nuances of high living, a likely turn-on for the semi-fatherless girl frominner-city Detroit.

When Wilson asked Mary if she would like a drink, and she suggested scotch and water, he told her alady always drinks Pink Ladies and Raspberry Daiquiris and ordered her one of each, so she couldchoose. After she picked one and drank it, he told her, “This is as far as I ever want you to go, just asmall drink every night.” From Wells’ point of view, “he had finesse, he had . . . class. He knew the bestplaces to eat. He knew how to conduct himself as a gentleman.” To top it all off, over the next fewdays, she said, Wilson bought her $25,000 worth of clothing.

They started dating continuously, with Wells becoming more and more enamored. After three months,he suggested that she move into his apartment until her apartment was ready. Then the trouble began.

Excerpt from Les Paul:

My brother thought my studying music wasa boring waste of time. He didn’t like musicand he didn’t particularly understand it. Mymother loved music. She was very much animportant part of my life for how sheencouraged me. My brother would say, “He’sat it again, Ma,” as if to say, “Get rid ofhim!” Radio broadcasts always sounded likethey were from a tight-sounding room. Backin those days, they used to broadcast from ahotel room. I began to practice in the bath-room, where there was tile, because it had agreat echo. I figured out how to place myguitar halfway between the bedroom and thebathroom for the best sound. My brotherwas ready to place me in the outhouse.

Cataloging the legacy of the American punk rock pioneers BlackFlag, this photo documentary uses stark, contrasting portraits toshare the stories of the die-hard fans who wear the iconic four-barred logo tattooed on their skin. Adding to the idea that mixedmessages can come from one unifying design, each image is high-lighted with a personal quotation, a name and bio, and a BlackFlag favorites list. Captured during an extensive tour through theUnited States, Canada, and Western Europe, this collection servesas a visual testimony to the hyperdistilled mythology that theband is more prevalent now than when it was in service, andserves as a soundtrack for those living as self-imposed culturaloutsiders. Interviews with former members of the band, tattooartists, photographers, and other relevant luminaries round outthis ethnography and spotlight Black Flag’s vicious live perform-ances, forward-thinking work ethic, and indisputable reputationfor acting as both champions and destroyers of the punk rockculture that they helped create.

Moving beyond the music and misconceptions, the discussions inthis book give voice to the emergent impact of punk in the wordsof those who participated and were witness, and include thosewhose livelihoods have been shaped around the punk lifestyle.Punk is notorious for its loud music, aggressive attitude, andsafety-pinned style; less well known is the radical value systemthat has emerged hand in hand with the sound and aesthetic.Since the 1970s, punks have built their music, fashion, andlifestyles around core values of social justice, creative freedom,community integrity, fiercely democratic politics, and do-it-your-self ingenuity. These interviews show just some of the ways thatpunk values continue to shape mainstream American life.

The life of a complex soul is the subject of this book that is partbiography and part companion for the Taxpayers’ jazz-punkalbum of the same name. In the late 1970s, Henry Turner wentfrom a local hero as star pitcher of the Georgia Tech Wildcats toan abusive, alcoholic drifter. After spending his later years inhomeless encampments and psychiatric wards, Turner turned hisdemons to his advantage and became a kind, beloved street sto-ryteller, a friend of the downtrodden, and an angel of publictransit. This is a remembrance of a life filled with contradic-tions—cowardice and bravery, falsehoods and candidness, gloryand failure—and an exploration of the brief moments that canshape people’s lives.

A charming, lyrical graphic novel both poeticand full of deeper meaning

AbelardRenaud Dillies and Regis Hautière

“A certain magic is demonstrated when an artist, unfetteredby perceptions of comics being for kids, uses the full paintbox of tools available to him. The wild imagery, wanderingthrough parties and dreamland alike, transports the readerin an emotional way that propels the practical mind into theescape of art.” —Publishers Weekly starred review

on Bubbles & Gondola


To lure pretty Emily, little chick Abelard sees only one solu-tion: to catch the moon for her. So off he goes to America,the country that invented flying machines. Armed with hisbanjo and his proverb-sharing hat, he launches out on thecountry roads, where he meets Gaston, a grumpy bear withwhom he will shares his plan. As opposed to dreamerAbelard, Gaston has his feet firmly planted on the ground.This humorous comic, where the absurd becomes poetry,explores philosophical ideas through a simple, fanciful story.

Masquerading behind the guise of the old-fashioned Catechism thatgenerations of Catholic school kids in plaid skirts or clip-on ties hadto memorize, this candid handbook provides a witty take on theteachings of the Catholic faith. Objections from relativist, NewAtheist, dissenting Catholic, and other points of view are featured,with intellectually sound questions and bracingly funny answers.Penned by a Yale-educated author who worked both in the main-stream, secular media as well as for Catholic outlets, the studyreveals the whole range of contemporary criticisms aimed at theChurch—and how to answer them in kind. Using both a rapier witand the strong left hook of a blue-collar kid from Queens, this guidedefends its faith with good humor and sincere respect at every turnwhile illustrating the difficulties modern believers face.

Excerpt:

While St. Paul did warn that he who does not work shouldnot eat, one can take the work ethic too far. And many of ushave. The obsession with productivity and attendant worka-holism can lead to a desensitizing, deadening, and dehuman-izing of the human spirit. Is the overwork characteristic ofmodern life heroic or tragic? Is it humanizing or dehumaniz-ing? Is it necessary or neurotic?

Herman Melville’s short story “Bartleby,” a study of thegrave effects of overwork, depicts the life of a young manemployed by a law firm as a copyist or scrivener. As anemployee Bartleby is punctual, industrious, and steadfast,laboring diligently long hours day and night at his desk tothe great satisfaction of his employer. He embodies all thevirtues of the Protestant work ethic that Benjamin Franklinacknowledged in his autobiography, qualities like “silence,”“order,” “frugality,” “resolution,” and “industry”. However,despite Bartleby’s work ethic, the lawyer who oversees hiswork regrets Bartleby’s silent, private, morose disposition:“I should have been quite delighted with his application,had he been cheerfully industrious. But he wrote on silently,palely, mechanically.” Isolated by a screen from his fellowemployees, Bartleby copies, copies, and copies withoutprotest, complaint, or weariness.

New TitlesIPG – FALL 2012

Excerpt:

So many times we don't know what to do and we yearnfor guidance, for someone to show us the way. And oftenwe cannot just figure it out on our own, since the rightthing to do does not always coincide with a moral calcula-tion of what is absolutely best. Otherwise we would neverleave the chapel, since prayer and commerce with Godundoubtedly are "better" than, say, playing basketball,studying, or going to the market. Yet recreation, study, andshopping all make up part of God's will for us. Likewise,we cannot deduce God's plan for our lives simply byinquiring into which state of life is "higher" or "better"than the others, since what is better depends on what weare specifically called to do.

God's will for me expresses his personal love for me in aconcrete way. By it, he manifests his desire for my happi-ness and shows me where this happiness is to be found.As Jesus said, "I have come so that they may have life andhave it to the full" (John 10:10). Those are hardly thewords of a taskmaster.

Uncovering science’s agenda in scriptural study

Politicizing the BibleThe Roots of Historical Criticism and the Secularization of ScriptureScott W. Hahn

• Co-op available• Advertising in Christianity Today, Chronicle of Higher Education,

First Things journal, and Touchstone magazine

Resisting the typical, dry methods of contemporary scholarship,this powerful examination revisits the biblical days of life-and-death conflict, struggles for power between popes and kings, andsecret alliances of intellectuals united by a desire to pit worldlygoals against the spiritual priorities of the church. This accountlooks beyond the pretense of neutrality and objectivity oftenfound in secular study, and brings to light the appropriation ofscripture by politically motivated interpreters. Questioning thetechniques taken for granted at divinity schools worldwide, theirorigins are traced to the writings of Machiavelli and Marsilio ofPadua, the political projects of Henry VIII, Thomas Hobbes, andJohn Locke, and the quest for an empire of science on the part ofDescartes and Spinoza. Intellectual and inspiring, an argument ismade for bringing Christianity back to biblical literacy.

One of the most important exponents of Situationist ideas, thistreatise presents an impassioned critique of modern capitalismand serves as a cornerstone of modern radical thought. Originallypublished in early 1968, the book both kindled and colored theMay 1968 upheavals in France that captured the attention of theworld. In the political climate of today, Raoul Vaneigem’s impor-tant work of radical anticapitalist thought has struck a new chordwith the worldwide Occupy Movement. Naming and defining thealienating features of everyday life in consumer society—survivalrather than living in full, the call to sacrifice, the cultivation offalse needs, the dictatorship of the commodity, subjection tosocial roles, and the replacement of God by the economy—thebook argues that the countervailing impulses that exist deep with-in this alienation, such as creativity, spontaneity, and poetry, pres-ent an authentic alternative to nihilistic consumerism. This newtranslation is the first North American publication of the bookand includes a new preface by the author and a translator’s note.

• Co-op available

The long-awaited second volume of the first-ever English-lan-guage study of the Red Army Faction (RAF)—West Germany’smost notorious urban guerillas—covers the period immediatelyfollowing the organization’s near total decimation in 1977.During this period, the RAF was in a state of regrouping andattempting to renew its ties to the radical left in response to theemergence of a new radical youth movement in the FederalRepublic, the Autonomen. By examining communiqués and textsfrom 1978 up until the 1982 May Paper, the broader movementis examined and the possibilities and perils of an armed under-ground organization are contrasted to the more fluid and flexiblepractice of the revolutionary cells at that time. The history of the2nd of June Movement (2JM), an eclectic guerilla group with itsroots in West Berlin, is also evaluated, as is the RAF’s relation-ship to the East German Stasi and the abortive attempt by WestGermany’s liberal intelligentsia to defuse the armed struggle dur-ing Gerhard Baum’s tenure as Minister of the Interior.

• Co-op available• Authors’ previous works have sold over 300,000 copies combined

Originally published in 1950, this analysis by three respectedactivists successfully predicted the future course of Marxism.Their revolutionary critique of industrial civilization possessed astriking originality that was insular in its political context andoptimistic in its expectations for the working class. They envi-sioned that the working class activity would defy trends awayfrom class and social issues and toward the so-called “End ofIdeology.” Brought forth in a new edition, this viewpoint andothers reveals much, even years later, that challenges Marxistand other orthodoxies, and is the most succinct version of C. L. R. James and his collaborators general conclusions aboutindustrial culture as well as a pioneering critique.

C. L. R. James was known and honored as a historic pioneer ofthe black movement and a major figure in Pan-Africanism, aswell as a leader in developing a current within Marxism.

An autobiographical aid for understanding and working with social movements

AccompanyingPathways to Social ChangeStaughton Lynd


To better understand the impact of social movements in recentyears, this analysis distinguishes strategies of social change intotwo parts: organizing, which is characteristic of the 1960s move-ment in the United States, and accompaniment, which was artic-ulated by Archbishop Óscar Romero of El Salvador. Both arevaluable tools for understanding and promoting social move-ments; in accompaniment, the promoter of social change and hisor her oppressed colleague view themselves as two experts, eachbringing indispensable experience to a shared project. Together,as equals, they seek to create what the Zapatistas call “anotherworld.” The author applies the distinction between accompani-ment and organizing to five social movements in which he hastaken part: the labor and civil rights movements, the antiwarmovement, prisoner insurgencies, and the movement sparked byOccupy Wall Street. Also included are the experiences of theauthor’s wife Alice Lynd, a partner in these efforts, who has beena draft counselor and advocate for prisoners in maximum-security confinement.

Staughton Lynd is an author and former professor. He was anearly leader of the movement against the Vietnam War, and hasprovided legal assistance to rank-and-file workers and prisonersfor the past 30 years. His books include From Here to There,Solidarity Unionism at Starbucks, and Wobblies & Zapatistas.He lives in Youngstown, Ohio.

Excerpt:

A pilot may be wounded, with his plane on fire, out of fuel, and on glide descent. Even on a clear day, freak downdraftsmay catch a plane in its final approach and swat it earthward. Also, the runway may be uneven. Asphalt has potholes,cracks, and humps; grass fields that look as smooth as golf greens hide irregularities that can tilt a wheel or snag a tail-hook. A gopher hole can flip a plane. Even in the astonishingly up-to-date, brand-spanking-new world of 1943, in thebest land airports of the most advanced nation on the planet, bringing an aircraft safely to Earth is not for the faint of heart.

Landing on a carrier is ten times worse. Winds are wonkier, the target strip is the size of a church roof. Spume may blindyou without warning.

Even in calm seas a carrier’s flight deck pitches, yaws, and rolls relative to a plane’s approach: it’s a landing strip balancedon a beach ball. But for everyone from executive officer to damage crew, a heavy-seas recovery is the stuff of nightmares.Human brains and bodies, even young ones at a pitch of mental and physical perfection, were not designed for this.

The last few seconds of a recovery are the most critical. Touch down on land and you generally stay down; this is less cer-tain on a carrier deck. Your sink rate could be a perfect two feet per second, a gossamer caress ashore, and that gimballeddeck could suddenly soar skyward on a rogue wave and smack into you at another twenty feet per second. The sum ofthese vectors is like jumping off the roof of a two-story house; it knocks your nuts into your nose. Nor need you staydown even then. You can bounce. That’s okay if you bounce nose-up. Your tailhook usually—usually—stays on the arrest-ing wire and brakes you, though your nuts then leave your nostrils with a pleasant popping sound. But if you bouncenose-down and your tailhook rips away from the wire: then, flyboy, you are fully fucked. There’s a steel-rope safety net atthe far end of the recovery area, but when it has to field a million foot-pounds of runaway machinery it’s as useful as adaisy chain. Get ready to splash, ace. Put your head between your knees and kiss your ass goodbye.

Excerpt:

Philomena raised her arm and pointed an index finger upwardwith thumb extended. She brought her hand down with careand swept the crowd from right to left with deliberation as thefront row of worshipers fainted and fell in a silent wave beforeher. More supplicants approached, stepping over prostrateforms, headbanging in time to the music, and again the anima-tron swept her pointing finger across the raving flock. Morebodies folded in slumber at her feet as her hand passed over-head, row after row until a mound of quivering flesh lay slain inthe spirit before her. She raised reverent palms as she croonedout a prayerful summation, an explosion sounded as the musichit a final cadence of frenzy, and Philomena disappeared in avapour of smoke. Fireworks shot up to the vaulted ceiling andblazed red and green in sparkling glory. A steamy fog hinted ofgunpowder and flowers.

The crowd kept chanting her name, fingers pointed in promiseto the gods, as sleeping forms began to moan and rise smilingwith joy, a sublime fealty. Witnesses turned to companions andstrangers alike with incredulity on their grinning faces, reachingto touch shoulders and arms. “Did you see that?” they said.“Did you feel that?” The noise dimmed to a rumble as anencore never followed, and the congregation milled and mur-mured happily, grateful for the mystic blessing from above.

The poem poses time asa governing body overthrown by a simple mental repositioning—showing that time is inescapable only because so few have tried.Meeting the reader halfway with a universal discussion on asociopolitical climate that is relatable and real, the poet bringsforth a tangle of emotion and events that the narrator wrangleswith to prove his own sanity as well as time’s true nature.

Studying the gravitational pull of the meanings people assignobjects, rather than shifting subject or focus from poem to poem,this collection of prose poems demonstrates a clever constructionand inclusive thought process. Versus merely mapping the humanexperience, as is the case with many other poetry collections, thelandscape of these poems is multidimensional and twists in unex-pected ways. The poet was partially inspired by CharlesBaudelaire’s Petits poèmes en prose and Francis Ponge’s LaFabrique du pré, Meier’s poems take up their explorations ofpoetry as more than the individual line.

Richard Meier is a poet and a poetry teacher, having workedwith the Teachers and Writers Collaborative in New York and inChicago with the Poetry Center’s Hands on Stanzas, for whichhe received the Gwendolyn Brooks Award for Excellence inteaching.

An unspeakably excessive reality is met with unremitting intensi-ty in this collection of poetry—the imbroglio of entwinementsand failed copulas within and around humankind compose the“multiple” in question, the reality underlying and giving lie tosociety’s stereotypes. Witty, multitonal, musical, propositional,and painterly, the poems interweave personal narrative withpolitical crises and make no effort to take the edge off the razor-sharp examination of the contemporary sociopolitical situationthat takes shape throughout the collection. What emerges in thelines is as surprising and unforgiving as it is disarmingly delight-ful, creating an engaging lyricism that appeals to philosophy aswell as literature.

Poetry that metaphorically probes the skin’s surface to reveal the naked emotions underneath

Our Gleaming Bones UnrobedGrant Loveys

“It’s a story that elevates the everyday to the poignant, using aprotagonist with a singularly clear voice who knows exactly howmuch he’s willing to say. It’s the work of an author with a fullgrip on scene and place, but who’s also careful and skilledenough not to spoil it all by deciding to explain everything andclutter the story in the process.” —Cuffer Prize jury

on Loveys’ award-winning story, “Our Guys”

Focused thematically around discovering the figurative “bones”beneath the “skin” of a situation/relationship/moment, thepoems in this collection are at once memento mori—a reminderof mortality—and celebration of life. Its two sections, “Body”and “Bones,” delight in both the corporeal and the ethereal mys-teries deep within the physical world. This haunting debutexpresses complex ideas in simple, powerful language.

Reflecting on the career of a prominent poet, this biographyfocuses on Canadian wordsmith Barrie Nichol—more commonlyknown by his pen name, bpNichol—who was a practicing laypsychoanalyst and vice president of one the largest and long-last-ing North American communes for more than a decade.Recognizing his international influence as both a visual andsound poet, Nichol’s literary achievements are reviewed, includ-ing The Martyrology—a renowned, seven-volume poem—fournovels, two musical comedies, six children’s books, hundreds ofhand-drawn visual poems, and even 10 episodes of Jim Henson’shit television series Fraggle Rock. Penned by one of Nichol’snumerous literary collaborators, this account reveals the closeconnections among the writer’s various activities, particularlyhow the autobiographical inquiries and Freudian dream theorylinked with the young poet’s biographical self-awareness. Thebook demonstrates how the subject’s main psychoanalytic clientwas his own writing, following Nichol as he explored its slips,accidental puns, and “unintended” meanings and implicationsfor the communal future of the human species—both in high lit-erature and comical prime time television.

Excerpt:

When I pulled up and parked at Willow Creek Apartments,something felt a little strange. The complex was eerily quiet,like a ghost town. All I could hear was the wind rustling inthe trees. As I walked toward my unit, it seemed as if anuclear bomb siren had gone off hours before and I’dmissed it and was left alone to face the impact. I knew itwas time to calmly get into the apartment.

A couple of regular-looking guys passed, but I didn’t thinkmuch of it. As my little patio area came into view, I pickedup the pace.

Something caught my attention. The giant maple tree thatusually stood like a protective guard outside my front walklooked different in every way. I stopped and stared for asecond, and the sight chilled me. From every imaginableangle, a swarm of cops materialized, looking like riot con-trol for an unruly crowd of a hundred or more. The onlythings missing were helicopters buzzing overhead andSWAT members repelling down ropes. Every single cop wasscreaming as they engulfed me. Guns were pointed at myface, ready to blow my brains out. When that million-milelong arm of the law smashed me down to the ground, Iknew this was it.

My career may always be defined by that moment I jumpedoff the steel cage at Madison Square Garden in New YorkCity, and I’m OK with that, but I have so many other memo-ries. The “Superfly” splash plays on WWE TV even today,and people look at it on YouTube, but I can tell you, it wasjust something I did. I had already tried jumping off the toprope, so I figured, why not jump off the top of the cage? Noone else was doing it, so why couldn’t I? I didn’t even give ita thought, brudda. I was a little “lolo” as they say in Hawaii.I have never feared anything in my life. I’ve always lived mylife trying to be the best, and to accomplish something noone else ever has. In my mind, I’ve accomplished that.

Excerpt:

Forecasts. Projections. Predictions. Prognostications. The crys-tal ball aura of this process conceals the fact it is a process. Wemight define it as "the systematic process of determining likelyend results." At its core, it's scientific.

However, the outcomes of forecasted events are what is mostclosely scrutinized, and are used to judge the success or failureof the forecast. That said, as long as the process is sound, theforecast has done the best job it can do. In the end, forecastingis about analysis, not prophecy.

Baseball performance forecasting is inherently a high-risk exer-cise with a very modest accuracy rate. This is because theprocess involves not only statistics, but also unscientific ele-ments, from random chance to human volatility. And even fromwithin the statistical aspect there are multiple elements thatneed to be evaluated, from skill to playing time to a host ofexternal variables.

Every system is comprised of the same core elements:

• Players will tend to perform within the framework of past history and/or trends.

• Skills will develop and decline according to age.

• Statistics will be shaped by a player's health, expected role and venue.

Excerpt:

I knew Sean Glennon was on to something the first time I talked to him.I don’t mean that I absolutely agree with Sean’s conclusions. Like I told him, I can say for sure that TomBrady is one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time, and if you put my feet to the fire, I might have to say heis the greatest of all time. But I also happen to have a lot of respect for Peyton Manning. And, of course, youcan’t even have the conversation without talking about Joe Montana and Bart Starr. That’s fine. I don’t needto agree with Sean a hundred percent, and I don’t think he needs me to. What I liked about what Sean wasdoing wasn’t really about where he was going; it was about how he was getting there.Sean contacted me looking for a quote he could use in his book. He introduced himself as someone whohad written some books about the Patriots, and said he was writing one about Brady being the greatestquarterback ever. He was looking for some kind of comment about Tom that he could share with readers.That seemed easy enough. Then we talked and I asked Sean how he was going about this thing. That ledto a conversation about football history. We talked about guys like Montana and Starr. We also talkedabout Dan Marino and Otto Graham. Sean told me he was comparing Tom to those guys and a bunch ofothers — and he told me that way he was doing things wasn’t about tearing down any of those other greatquarterbacks. He was putting everyone’s accomplishments out there and leaving most of the decisions tothe readers. He was making a case for Brady, but doing it in a way that was respectful to these other guyswho have made huge contributions to the league and the game.I knew right then that the guy was writing a book that I would want to read and endorse.

Excerpt:

When Walter and I finally got into serious sports, I under-stood what our momma was doing. It was kind of like TheKarate Kid. Daniel-san would “paint the fence” and do“wax on/wax off” over and over in what he thought was anexercise in futility, but it turned out to be great karate train-ing. In the same way, our grueling summer work gave us thebodies we’d need to compete in sports at the highest levels.Until then, I could never understand why my mommawould have us build up that yard every year. I mean, everysummer we built up that dang yard with our sweat andtoil—it was like the curse of Adam playing out right there.And it was the front yard, too, so think about how thatlooked. By the time we stopped doing it, we had a yardhalfway up the bottom portion of the house.Years of pain and sweat for that?No, it wasn’t for that, and it wasn’t for nothing. It was forus: her sons.My momma wasn’t just trying to keep us boys from poach-ing plums and sneaking off, and she wasn’t just trying tokeep us from getting another whoopin’ from Daddy. Shewasn’t having us do all that work for nothing, and she cer-tainly wasn’t doing it to build up the yard. No, my mommanever meant to build up the yard at all.She was building up Walter and me.

Excerpt:

The Jesus in the Gospel of Thomas appears to be somewhatdifferent than the Jesus of the synoptic Gospels. What youdiscover as you read the Gospel of Thomas, what you aremeant to discover, is that you and Jesus, at a deep level, areidentical twins. You also discover that you are the child ofGod, just as he is. In the Gospel of Thomas the disciples askJesus, "Tell us, what do you want us to do? How shall wepray? What shall we eat? How shall we fast?" But Jesusdoes not answer these questions. He simply says, "Do nottell lies, and do not do what you hate, for everything isknown before heaven." This response throws you and meupon ourselves. This is one of the themes of the Gospel ofThomas — that you must go in a sort of a spiritual quest ofyour own to discover you are a child of God just like Jesusis. And then, at the end of this gospel, Jesus speaks toThomas and says, "Whoever drinks from my mouth willbecome as I am, and I will become that person, and the mys-teries will be revealed to him."

Excerpt:

The Story of Ho’oponopono

The roots of Ho‘oponopono reach far back into the past, thou-sands of years back, perhaps even to the time of Atlantis,Lemuria and the High Vedic Culture. Ho‘oponopono belongs toa system of ancient Hawaiian teaching; called the ‘Huna.’ ‘Hu’means ‘knowledge,’ and ‘na’ represents ‘wisdom,’ and theguardians of this ancient teaching are called ‘kahunas’–Hunaexperts. Only to know something without then using it reallymakes nonsense of it, because wisdom is revealed by what a per-son does, not by what they know. Ho‘oponopono also comesalive when it is used, and so I invite you into this little book andthereby to walk in a world full of wisdom, wonder and beauty.A world whose existence you have always suspected, but couldnever grasp until now.

Excerpt:

An essential dimension of activating a sacred vision forAmerica is going beyond political polarities, not by erasingour differences but by understanding the importance ofthose differences in a larger context. Seen deeply enough, thetruths carried by radical left-wingers and rock-ribbedRepublicans are both required for America to step intogreater maturity as a country.

Our political process tends to drive people towards fixedidentities. Political candidates evolve into ever-more perfectexpressions of their party’s values as they respond to the pres-sures of voters and party. Social networks attract people ofthe same values and reinforce their beliefs. Once we holdrigidly to one identity, our growth can be slowed or evenarrested. We stop valuing other perspectives and privilege ourvalues over others. To navigate this critical crossroads in his-tory, we need people with a more open-ended sense of valuesand identity who are able to listen to those with differentopinions and work towards collaboration and synergy.

By presenting a better way to think about aging,it reveals what everyone can do to live a longer life.

Excerpt:

Why do we have so many distorted beliefs about aging?Simply because we hear so much about aging and we see theravages of old age all around us. We will probably hear moreabout aging than any other topic over our lifetime, and we’renot in the habit of critically evaluating any of this informa-tion. We just assume it’s true. “Aging” is such an easy expla-nation for problems we develop as we get older. When thedoctor tells us that our high blood pressure or type 2 diabetesis due to aging, we accept it and start taking our pills. Wehave such undying faith in science and medicine. When wehear that scientists have made another discovery about aging,we believe that they really are closing in on a pill to keep usyoung. When we hear doctors tell us that hormone therapy isthe answer or when “entrepreneurs” tell us that a new supple-ment is an anti-aging miracle, we want to try the treatmentsbecause they just may be effective. As we experience symp-toms like stiffness, aches and pains, and trouble sleeping, thedrug industry tells us that it’s all due to aging and that med-ication is the answer. We believe aging is the cause, so we buyover-the-counter drugs or ask the doctor for prescriptions tohelp us feel better, sleep better, perform better, and so on. Allof this reinforces our mistaken assumptions about the myste-rious process of aging that is going on in all of us. How couldanyone develop a healthy mindset about aging amid such asea of confusion and competing interests?

Excerpt:

It’s hard to deny the energy and momentum of the movement towardmaking or repairing things instead of buying them. It seems small, butfor those of us who can afford to buy interminable versions of the sameproducts, the choice to fix something instead of throwing it away repre-sents a huge paradigm shift. Choosing to preserve is about realizing thatthe planned obsolescence and semi-disposability built into today’s prod-ucts is a marketing plan, and not an unavoidable part of life. It’s conven-ient for manufacturers to sell a $5 shirt with buttons that magically falloff after two washes. But it’s not convenient for us, and we don’t have toput up with it if we don’t want to.

The role of a little-known Native American tribein California’s history

The Ethnohistory of theChowchilla YokutsRobert Fletcher Manlove, PhD

One of the most historically significant, yet almost entirelyundocumented, Native American tribes of California is broughtto light by scholar Robert Fletcher Manlove. Until the Spanishcolonization of California in 1769, the Chowchilla Yokuts werepeaceful hunter-gatherers. Outraged by Spanish oppression, theChowchilla quickly learned the arts of war. The Chowchilla unitedthe tribes of the California interior and led successive resistancemovements against Spanish, Mexican, and American occupation.However, the Chowchilla were driven from their land followingthe consolidation of American control of California, were forcedto abandon their hunter-gatherer lifestyle, and sank into obscuri-ty. The Chowchilla maintained their tribal identity by staying asout-of-sight as possible, sometimes not identifying themselves as Native American at all. In this first anthropological work, the history of the Chowchilla Yokuts from the earliest knownorigins to today is documented, with detailed information on Chowchilla kinship structure, social customs, and political development.

Robert Fletcher Manlove, PhD, is a visiting scholar in anthropol-ogy at the University of California–Berkeley and dean emeritusof science and mathematics at City College of San Francisco. Helives in Berkeley, California.

Canada’s Forgotten SlavesTwo Hundred Years of BondageMarcel TrudelTranslated by George Tombs

This groundbreaking history documents the roots of slavery ineveryday colonial Canada and the extreme measures taken bysubsequent generations to eradicate any record of their presence.Beginning with the French regime in colonial Canada 1629,noted historian Marcel Trudel examines the roots of slavery andits pervasive existence until its eventual abolition from theBritish Empire in 1834. Drawn from Trudel’s exhaustive scrutinyof unpublished 17th- through 19th-century archival records, thissurvey gives a human face to more than 4,000 aboriginal andblack slaves who were bought, sold, and exploited in colonialCanada. The compelling narrative chronicles the slaves’ oftenhorrific living conditions, the joys and sorrows of their dailyexistence, and their quest to gain liberty. The extensive researchnot only reveals the identities of Canadian slave owners, butsheds light on the whitewashing undertaken by politicians, histo-rians, and ecclesiastics who deliberately falsified records and glo-rified their colonial-era heroes in order to remove any trace ofthese slaves held in bondage for more than 200 years.

Marcel Trudel was an editor, a historian, and the author of TheBeginnings of New France 1524–1663, Introduction to NewFrance, and Memoirs of a Less Travelled Road: A Historian’sLife and a coeditor of the Dictionary of Canadian Biography.During his lifetime he received numerous honors, including theGovernor-General’s Award for nonfiction, the MacDonald Prize,the Molson Prize, and the Prix David.

Excerpt:

There are some major differences between poker and busi-ness. The first is that, while lying and deception are necessaryat the poker table, in business it’s a recipe for disaster. Whenwe die, we should be proud of the way we played our lives.The second is that, while poker is about 70% skill and 30%luck, business is far more complicated and, other than hardwork and persistence, at most is 50% skill and 50% luck. Intoo many cases, it is 1% skill and 99% luck. The third isthat, unlike business, poker is essentially a one-person busi-ness. No customers. No employees. As soon as customers,employees, and stakeholders are added into the equation,everything becomes complex.

CommodoreThe Amiga YearsBrian Bagnall


Seeking to ascertain how the Commodore Amiga, a computernow widely regarded as having been five years ahead of its com-petition, failed so spectacularly in the marketplace, this booktakes an in-depth look at the people and personalities behind it.The often unflattering picture that emerges is one of top-levelexecutives who had little understanding of how to market theirproduct to the public and a company that struggled to remainrelevant. Other products that Commodore produced and tried tomarket, such as the C128, Geos, game consoles, and the untoldstory of the proposed successor to the record-breaking C64—theC65—are also examined in depth. Told through firsthand inter-views with company insiders, this examination of the nowdefunct company traces the often baffling decisions that led tothe eventual demise of Commodore.
