Kennedy’s inauguration—thenarrative also examines the couple’s ongoing influence in theentertainment world.

The life of the celebrated Belgian musician

Jacques BrelLa Vie BohèmeAlan Clayson


From his childhood days in Belgium in the early 1930s to thefinal reclusive years on a remote Pacific island in the late 1970s,this expansive study chronicles the life of the iconic Belgianchansonnier Jacques Brel. With new and rediscovered informa-tion, the narrative presents an extremely candid exploration ofboth a figurehead and a respected authority of modern songwrit-ing whose global impact comes not from one or two standardsongs—such as Seasons in the Sun and If You Go Away—butfrom myriad items spread over decades of translated covers andrevivals. The survey examines the artist’s determination to avoida legacy with the family cardboard business and develop a cul-tural life; it follows Brel’s metamorphosis from a modest successas a vocalist in Belgium to a professional singer and songwriterin Paris and, ultimately, an international star. In addition todetailing the artist’s parallel fame as an actor and director, thebiography provides insight into Brel’s attempts to sail around theworld in a yacht and his enchantment with flight. The artist’sinfluence on later artists, including David Bowie, Judy Collins,and Scott Walker, is also detailed along with a recognition of hisongoing impact on modern-day musicians such as Marc Almond,Tom Robinson, Glen Matlock, and Nick “Momus” Currie.

Alan Clayson is the author of more than 30 books, includingBackbeat, The Beatles Box, and The Yardbirds. His articles haveappeared in the Daily Mail, Folk Roots, the Guardian, Guitar,the Independent, Ink, Mojo, Record Collector, and the Times.

Permeating the shadows and the darkness of the bayou—a worldall its own that stretches from Houston, Texas, to Mobile,Alabama—this study of marsh music leaves New Orleans to dis-cover secret legends and vivid mythology in the surroundingwilderness. The people and the cultures that have called thebayou home—such as Bob Dylan, Jerry Reed, Nick Cave, BoDidley, and a one-armed Cajun backwoodsman and gator hunternamed Amos Moses—are unearthed not only through their ownwords and lives but also through a study of their music andinterviews with visitors to and residents from the region.

Like the finest medieval tapestry, this narrative history masterful-ly weaves together the sweeping events surrounding what hasbecome known as the “Babylonian captivity” of the popes intothe broader story of 14th-century Europe—one of the most tur-bulent times in the continent’s history. It was a time of fear,ferocity, and religious agony, which saw the suppression of theKnights Templar and the Cathars. This century also marked thefirst onslaught of the plague, the beginning of the HundredYears’ War and produced great writers and artists in the westerntradition, including Giotto, Boccaccio, Petrarch, and Chaucer.Central to this period was the movement of the papal seat fromRome to Avignon in the south of France, where seven successivepopes held power from 1309 to 1377. The drama, intrigue, andtumult associated with the papacy in exile forms the perfect lensthrough which to clearly see a Europe making the transitionfrom the Middle Ages to the Renaissance.

Edwin Mullins is a journalist, a filmmaker, and the author ofCluny and The Pilgrimage to Santiago. He lives part of the yearnear Avignon.

“A serene contribution to an ongoing debate, yielding furtherevidence of Aquinas’ abiding intellectual valence.”

• Advertising in the AAR Annual Meeting Program Book (August),Journal of American Academy of Religion and University of ChicagoJournal of Religion (October), and Theological Studies and Thomist(January 2011)

Entering the controversial debate of who can truly know God,this religious commentary attempts to discredit both the claimthat Christians are the only ones who can be close to God andthe theory that the great Catholic thinker Thomas Aquinas wasin support of this claim. Instead, this analysis posits that, accord-ing to Aquinas as well as to mainstream Catholicism throughoutthe centuries, all people have some access to and knowledge ofGod, regardless of their religion. An inclusive and spiritual read-ing of Aquinas and Catholic teaching, this concise book opensthe doors to greater dialogue between Christians and non-Christians and demonstrates that Aquinas’ teachings can play animportant role in interreligious relations today.

Excerpt:

Faith deepens rather than erases the sense of mysteryfound in philosophical reasoning. The universe of dis-course between the Christian and the philosopher are notforeign tongues. But the language of the beatific visionwill be foreign to both. . . . Natural knowledge of Godhas a legitimate and proper place in theology. Whileclaims arising from natural reason or Christian faithmust be open to further refinement and even rejection,they are justified attempts at true statements about God.They tell us something about God and about what itmeans to be a human being, a being by its very natureordered to the knowledge of God. In ordinary discourse,in religious worship, and in philosophical examination,Thomas assures us that our pursuit is not fruitless, thatour proclamations really can signify something true inGod. We will never have the last word, but the words weuse can be meaningful and true.

Relying onextensive research and firsthand accounts from surviving mem-bers of the turbine car program—including the metallurgist whocreated the exotic metals for the engine and the test driver whodrove it at Chrysler’s proving grounds—this chronicle documentsthe bold development of an automobile with a jet turbine engine.In addition to running well on virtually any flammable liquid—including kerosene, vodka, heating oil, and Chanel N°5 per-fume—the pioneering engines had one fifth the number ofmoving parts and required less maintenance than conventionalengines. Despite the fleet’s amazing performance over millions ofmiles by test drivers, Chrysler pulled the plug on the project andcrushed almost all of the cars. The reasons behind the surprisingend to the jet car fleet are finally explained here.

Eerily prescient of times to come, this exposé examines drug usein Major League Baseball (MLB) during the mid-1980s and oneof the biggest drug trials in baseball history. Through a series ofexclusive interviews with FBI agents, U.S. attorneys, defenselawyers, journalists, former baseball executives, physicians, andthe dealers themselves, the narrative provides a behind-the-sceneslook into how the players managed their habits, the effect of thedrugs on their athletic performance, and the ruses the playersconcocted to keep their drug consumption from becoming publicknowledge. Among the all-stars implicated as cocaine users wereJoaquin Andujar, Dusty Baker, Dale Berra, Keith Hernandez, LeeMazzilli, John Milner, Dave Parker, and Lonnie Smith, whileWillie Mays and Willie Stargell were fingered as amphetamineusers. In addition to identifying the players involved, thisaccount reveals how the hapless group of mostly diehardPittsburgh Pirates fans got into cocaine and connected with theplayers as well as the often comic “deals” that eventually gotthem busted. Then MLB Commissioner Peter Ueberroth’s failureto implement a strict drug policy in the aftermath of the trial isalso discussed, along with the role this inaction played inenabling the steroid era.

Excerpt:

Being found guilty by a jury of twelve misinformed peo-ple, a jury fed on lies, perjury and manufactured evidence,did not make me guilty. So I refused to act the part of aguilty man and become a good prisoner. Resistance wasmy defense. I would not speak to the guards nor would Iacknowledge their existences. I refused to move to therhythm of the prison or obey its arbitrary rules. I refusedto wear its stripes. I refused to eat its food. I refused towork its jobs. I would have refused to breathe the prisonair if I could have done so and yet remained alive. What Ihad that could never be compromised was my innocence.I wasn’t even aware at that time that I had a Spirit, butthat inner voice, that resistance, shows me as I write thistoday that my Spirit was very much alive and kicking.

CHICAGO REVIEW PRESS JANUARY

Excerpt:

“When you get to Vegas, you’ve made it.”

Maria could hardly believe her luck. She had been selling her body since she was 13 on some of the toughest “tracks” in the coun-try: the ghetto corners in Hunt’s Point in the Bronx, the dark alleys of Philadelphia, the cheap hotels of Boston.

Now, here she was, just 17 years old, once an aspiring church choir girl from New Jersey, riding in a white Mercedes Benz past thedazzling lights on the Las Vegas Strip. She had a pile of money by her side and a snazzy car to drive, and it could not get much betterthan that.

True, she told herself, the car wasn't hers. The money wasn't hers, either. Like everything else she had, including her body, it allbelonged to her pimp. But that didn’t matter to the young girl from Jersey, not then. Nothing was going to diminish the glitter andglamour of this, and only this, moment. At long last, she had graduated from being a “track ho” working the streets to a “carpet ho,”walking the casino floors.

She barely noticed the billboard with a woman wearing a sultry look on her face—and little else. “Your pleasure is our business!”was the catchy slogan for a local strip club. But it could just as well be the city’s official motto. Everything is for sale here inAmerica’s Sin City and nothing sells more than sex.

And a big part of what is for sale is illegal sex with minors. “This is the Mecca for child prostitution,” says Sgt. Det. Gil Shannon.“They all come here.”

• Co-op available• Advertising in Mother Jones and the Utne Reader

Through a combination of oral history, journalistic investigation,and personal observations, this narrative creates a positive livingportrait of a people and celebrates the resilience, resourcefulness,and spirit that unite the Lebanese. From the Hezbollah heart-lands to Beirut’s designer stores, the objective account offers anintroduction to the country’s fractious politics and demonstrateshow Lebanon serves as a template for the Middle East—positingthat what happens in Lebanon is replicated elsewhere and whathappens elsewhere is reflected in Lebanon. Blending a cacophonyof voices—foot soldiers, priests, refugees, warlords, and gang-sters—that represent the diverse Alawite, Armenian, Maronite,Druze, Shiite, and Sunni religious sects, the book examines whatLebanon is all about; why this tiny, fertile, Mediterranean coun-try has become a world symbol of violence and chaos and is ableto impact the superpowers; and how the Lebanese manage tothrive as a society and culture in the midst of enormous strife.

After a series of otherdefendants pled guilty, those left to face off in court alongsideFrank Sr. were James “Little Jimmy” Marcello, the acting head ofthe Chicago mob; Joey “the Clown” Lombardo, one of Chicago’smost colorful mobsters; and Paul “the Indian” Schiro.

Examining the growth of the Ku Klux Klan (KKK) following thebirth of the civil rights movement, this book is filled with tales ofthe heroic efforts to halt their rise to power. Shortly after the suc-cess of the Montgomery bus boycott, the KKK—determined tokeep segregation as the way of life in Alabama—staged a resur-gence, and the strong-armed leadership of Governor George C.Wallace, who defied the new civil rights laws, empowered theKlan’s most violent members. Although Wallace’s power grew,not everyone accepted his unjust policies, and blacks such asMartin Luther King Jr., J. L. Chestnut, and Bernard LaFayettebegan fighting back in the courthouses and schoolhouses, as didyoung southern lawyers such as Charles “Chuck” Morgan, whobecame the ACLU’s southern director; Morris Dees, whocofounded the Southern Poverty Law Center; and Bill Baxley,Alabama attorney general, who successfully prosecuted thebomber of Birmingham’s 16th Street Baptist Church and legallyhalted some of Governor Wallace’s agencies designed to slowdown integration. Dozens of exciting, extremely well-told storiesdemonstrate how blacks defied violence and whites defied publicostracism and indifference in the face of kidnappings, bombings,and murders.

This exposé investigates the evolution of the Almighty Black PStone Nation, a motley group of poverty-stricken teens trans-formed into a dominant gang accused of terrorist intentions.Interwoven into the narrative is the dynamic influence of leaderJeff Fort, who—despite his flamboyance and high visibility—instilled a rigid structure and discipline that afforded the youngmen a refuge and a sense of purpose in an often hopeless com-munity. Details of how the Nation procured government fundingfor gang-related projects during the War on Poverty era andfueled bonuses and job security for law enforcement, and howFort, in particular, masterminded a deal for $2.5 million to com-mit acts of terrorism in the United States on behalf of Libya arealso revealed. In examining whether the Black P Stone Nationwas a group of criminals, brainwashed terrorists, victims of theircircumstances, or champions of social change, this social historyprovides an exploration of how and why gangs flourish andinsight into the way in which minority crime is targeted in thecommunity, reported in the media, and prosecuted in the courts.

Providing a timely and never-before-seen perspective on the ever-increasing menace of Somali pirates, this account shows how thecargo ship and oil tanker hijackings and ransoms in the Gulf ofAden and the Indian Ocean have turned one of the world’sbusiest shipping lanes into one of the most dangerous.

Documenting a completehistory of the sport, this perceptive work also reflects on com-mon criticisms, including the ways that soccer ferments national-ism, serves right-wing powers, and fosters competitiveness.Acknowledging these concerns, alternative perspectives on thegame and practical examples of how to achieve egalitarianmatches are explored. Serving as both as an orientation for thepolitically conscious football supporter and as an inspiration forthose who try to pursue the love of the game away from televi-sion sets and big stadiums, this thoughtful examination reclaimsthe notion of soccer as “the people’s game.”

Excerpt:

One of the favorite quotes of most radical and intellec-tually schooled football fans is Albert Camus’ concessionthat “everything I know about morality I know fromfootball.” It’s balm for the soul of those who have had toendure everything from contempt to suspicion to ridiculeby both radicals and intellectuals for their love of thegame. For in radical and intellectual circles football hasoften been described as nothing but a dumb circus inwhich “22 adults run after one ball,” and the opiate-of-the-masses argument has had a very secure place in thesecircles for a long time.

In the last about 15 years this has changed. Especiallyin Europe, the embrace of postmodern diversity and“irrationalism” has brought enough self-confidence to alot of radical closet football fans to declare their passionfor the sport openly. It even became a hip thing to talkabout (and theorize/intellectualize) in radical forums, andplaying football suddenly had a certain air of coolness,like you dared enter forbidden terrain. On a more tangi-ble political level, fan initiatives were founded that triedto “reclaim the game” both from increasingly corporatemanagement and right-wing fan culture.

Excerpt:

The Cuauhtémoc brewery was founded on a pleas-ant autumn day in 1890 in Monterrey, Mexico. Thisbrewery, which also specialized in ice production,went on to become Mexican Economic DevelopmentInc. (FEMSA), brewing such beers as Dos Equis,Tecate, and Sol. In early February of 2010 the Dutchbrewing giant Heineken bought FEMSA, bringingover half of the world’s beer production into thehands of just four mega-corporations. One Mexicancolumnist wrote of the merger in La Jornada, “Just abit more globalization and we will all be lost.”

The concentration of beer production into the handsof a few brewers is reflective of what is happening ineconomies across the globe. Homogenization of cul-ture and the centralization of wealth and power natu-rally follow corporate globalization. Though therecent merger in Mexico is emblematic of this profit-driven trend, homegrown examples of grassrootsalternatives have emerged in the streets of Belgiumand the kitchens of Utah and Colombia.

Excerpt:

If we take an historical view, I think that we couldidentify a phenomenon, or, rather, a whole complex ofelite reactions, that I propose calling “political balka-no-phobia”: an elite fear of autonomous spaces.Balkanization from above came into existence as anelite response to autonomous processes from below.European colonial modernity arose, in no small part,as a result of successful fights for the formation andterritorial unification of a regional identity. The state-architects of Europe of that time were, in fact,obsessed with the demon of the Balkans, balkaniza-tion being taken here in the sense of a “balkanizationfrom below,” an alternative process of territorialorganization, decentralization, territorial autonomyand federalism. Balkanization from below, a processof constant fission and fusion, has been a remarkablythreatening alternative for the emerging large, central-ized, coercive systems. With the modern invention ofBalkanity, Balkanization (from above!) became aname, and an excuse, for a process of eliminating thethreat of autonomous political spaces that lack anyspecialized and permanently constituted coerciveauthority separated from the society, as well as ofeliminating the region’s memory of its anti-modernand anti-statist struggles.

The definitive study of a remarkable socialist figure

William MorrisRomantic to RevolutionaryE. P. ThompsonIntroduction by Peter Linebaugh

“Thompson’s is the first biography to do justice to Morris’s polit-ical thought and so assemble the man whole. . . . It is not onlythe standard biography of Morris; it makes us realize, as noother writer has done, how completely admirable a man thisVictorian was—how consistent and honest to himself and others,how incapable of cruelty or jargon and, above all, how free.”

—Robert Hughes, Time magazine

This biographical study is a window into 19th-century Britishsociety and the life of William Morris—the great craftsman,architect, designer, poet, and writer—who remains a monumen-tal and influential figure to this day. This account chronicles howhis concern with artistic and human values led him to cross whathe called the “river of fire” and become a committed socialist—committed not only to the theory of socialism but also to thepractice of it in the day-to-day struggle of working women andmen in Victorian England. While both the British LaborMovement and the Marxists have venerated Morris, this legacyof his life proves that many of his ideas did not accord with thedominant reforming tendencies, providing a unique perspectiveon Morris scholarship.

E. P. Thompson was an English historian, socialist, and author ofMaking of the English Working Class. Peter Linebaugh is a socialhistorian and a professor at the University of Toledo. He is theauthor of London Hanged: Crime and Civil Society in theEighteenth Century. He lives in Toledo, Ohio.

Labor’s Civil War in CaliforniaThe NUHW Healthcare Workers’ RebellionCal Winslow

“Highly informative. And the spirit is invigorating.”—Noam Chomsky

• Advertising in Monthly Review (August)

A clear analysis of tactics and politics, this thorough accountexamines the dispute between the United Healthcare Workers(UHW) union in California and its “parent” organization theService Employees International Union (SEIU)—one of the mostimportant labor conflicts in the United States today. It exploreshow the UHW rank and file took umbrage with the SEIU’s rejec-tion of traditional labor values of union democracy and classstruggle and their tactics of wheeling and dealing with top man-agement and politicians. The resulting rift and retaliation fromSEIU leadership culminated in the UHW membership being forcedto break out and form a brand new union, the National Union ofHealthcare Workers (NUHW). Timed to coincide with elections inCalifornia, this detailed history calls for a reexamination of theideological and structural underpinnings of today’s labor move-ment and illustrates how a seemingly local conflict speaks to therights of laborers everywhere to control their own fates.

Excerpt:

German Ted and I were sitting in the garden negotiatingwith Sakhi to make a run up north to purchase a bit of hashfor ourselves. German Ted had it going to Europe successfullyas well. He created disks of the Sharikh hashish and put alight coating on them. Tory painted stunningly beautiful pic-tures of various Buddhist deities on the disks and they were,well . . . sailing through customs. Tory had taken refuge inBuddhism during her pregnancy. Ted was rolling one of thosethree-paper European joints that included tobacco and a fil-ter. While I was never particularly fond of mixing tobaccowith hash, it always made for a more pleasant negotiation.German Ted and I needed each other on this particular dealbecause Sakhi wouldn’t go unless there was a certain amountof money involved—a sum that neither Ted nor I had individ-ually. As part of the deal, Sakhi was also demanding that Torypaint an image of a mullah on one of the hash disks.

Excerpt:

I did not put the blame for recruiting Nazis on the CIA, buton their rival spy agency in the State Department, the OPC.After Truman’s surprising defeat of Dewey in 1948, Americaactually had two CIA’s. There was the official CIA thatworked for President Truman and the Democrats. The other,the OPC, worked for Allen Dulles and the defeatedRepublicans under cover of the State and JusticeDepartments. The official CIA hunted Nazis, the otherrecruited them.

There was a bit of public uproar when I first revealed someof this on 60 Minutes in 1982. Apparently WWII veteranswere not pleased to learn that there were Nazi war criminalsworking for American Intelligence. Congress demanded hear-ings, Mike Wallace got the Emmy Award, and my family gotthe death threats. It was a great trade-off. And of course, thecensors recalled my manuscript for another vetting. The CIAreviewers are actually very nice people, but they do not have aclue about their own history, or its sensitivity.

“The first woman known to photograph a battlefrom the front lines and to die covering a war.”

—New York Times

Out of the ShadowsA Life of Gerda TaroFrançois Maspero

Establishing her reputation as one of history’s most noteworthywar photographers, this account documents the work of GerdaTaro, the first female of her profession to die in action.Reflecting on the past of the woman born Gerta Pohorylle, thisnarrative chronicles this German Jew’s escape from the Naziparty, her introduction to Andre Friedmann—who would laterbecome the greatest war photographer of the 20th century underhis new identity, Robert Capa—and her own adoption of a newalias and the photographic trade. Taro’s portrayal of the SpanishCivil War is examined in detail, surveying her remarkable depic-tions of the soldiers, refugees, air raids, and battles. Vividly cap-turing the extraordinary figures the subject knew and livedwith—from Ernest Hemingway and Martha Gelhorn to LouisAragon—this record also highlights the assertion of political,sexual, and personal liberties that were central to her life.Demonstrating how her libertarian beliefs, steadfast courage,and eventual death made her a martyr of the antifascist move-ment, this study shows how Taro has been rediscovered amidstthe 21st century as a pioneer for all women.

VenezuelaRevolution as SpectacleRafael IzcateguiTranslated by Chaz Bufe

• Translator’s previous works sold more than 60,000 copies

A critical look at the Chavez regime from a leftist Venezuelanperspective, this account debunks claims made by Venezuelanand U.S. rightists that the regime is antidemocratic and dictatori-al. Instead, the book argues that the Chavez government is oneof a long line of Latin American populist organizations that havebeen ultimately subservient to the United States as well as multi-national corporations. Explaining how autonomous Venezuelansocial, labor, and environmental movements have been systemati-cally disempowered by the Chavez regime, this analysis contendsthat these movements are the basis of a truly democratic, revolu-tionary alternative.

Rafael Izcategui is the coordinator of the Programa Venezolanode Educación y Acción en Derechos Humanos (VenezuelanProgram of Education and Action on Human Rights); an editorof El Libertario, the Caracas anarchist newspaper; the author ofCorazón de Tinta (Heart of Ink), and a member of the left oppo-sition to the Chávez regime.

him. Instead, you must bite him so he becomes infected.6. You can only have one “friend.” Everyone else is just

another zombie.7. You must provide an adequate spoiler alert before you

tell anyone what it’s like to be dead.8. Everything is free.9. You should strive to follow the zombie food pyramid

when planning your diet (see illustration).10. Make as many obnoxious and irritating sounds as

possible.

Excerpt:

Have you ever stopped to wonder what happened to the dreams you had for yourself—dreams of exciting work, a happy familylife, looking great, and actually making a difference in the world? I have. Wherever you are in life right now, chances are I’ve beenthere. Whether you are at the top of the mountain or the bottom—at home or homeless—in shape or out—I’ve been there! I’m hereto tell you if I can climb out of some of the deepest pits, bounce back from the most deflating setbacks—make some of the worstmistakes while making the most of some of the worst circumstances—so can you! I promise you, there is no situation that you can’tovercome if you set your mind to it. Whether you’re overweight, out of shape, jobless, homeless, despairing over your marriage, yourfinances, or your looks—maybe you’re facing bankruptcy or foreclosure—or maybe you’re simply stuck in the funk of everyday liv-ing feeling restless, bored, and discontent. Hey, I’ve been there.

I’ve been down many dead-end streets that forced me to face these very same issues, but in the process I found ways to turn thingsaround and get back on the right road again! In fact, turning the direction of your life around is not as complicated as you mightthink. Your life can be maneuvered through some fairly narrow passageways and pretty much turn on a dime—it’s nothing at all liketrying to turn around the Titanic! In eight days, you can radically change how you feel; in twenty-eight days you can radically changehow you look.

I don’t care if you are eighteen or eighty—I have helped men and women of all ages point their lives in the direction of theirdreams. Whether you are getting ready to take part in the Miss America pageant, or a soccer mom wondering what happened toyour figure, or a retiree looking to make a difference in the lives of others, the principles and processes are the same—you just need aquality thirty days to swab the deck, repair the sails, and get the ship of your life back on course.

Excerpt:

“Make ready.” McGregor’s voice was reassuringly steady.

The French were at full pelt now, yelling as they ran, in no particular order but with no apparent lack of enthusiasm.

“Present.”

The twin lines of muskets swung down to the firing position.

“Fire!”

The crash of the volley, the enemy lost in smoke. Before it had cleared and Nathan could see what damage it had done, the marineshad fixed bayonets and McGregor’s voice was raised again in the command to charge.

Nathan pointed his sword towards the ridge.

“There is our enemy, gentlemen,” he instructed his sailors—they probably knew, but it was as well to be sure. “And there are ourboats. The only means we have of reaching the Unicorn. I know you will do your duty.”

The charge started well but faltered at the foot of the ridge. Several men were down. More fell to their knees and began to fire back.

“Belay there!” Nathan roared. “On your feet. Up, up.”

He saw Webster go down, hit in the head. Tully had almost reached the top of the ridge when he too fell back. Then they wereamong them. Nathan slashed about him with his sword, felt a roaring in his ears, realised it was his own voice, collided with a treeand went down. Gabriel hauled him up again. A glimpse of Tully, apparently none the worse for wear, parrying the thrust of asword and thrusting in turn, quite coolly it seemed, with one arm behind his back. Nathan looked for a suitable opponent. But theywere all gone. Dead or gone. And down below he saw that the marines had put the rest of the rebels to flight. The white flag wascoming down from the fort and a moment later the flag of Spain went up in its place.

Nathan gazed around his battered crew. Fewer than there had been. Who was not there that he knew? Webster, of course. But some-one else who should have been. Then in a flash it came.

Imlay.

He could not see Imlay.

Excerpt:

“This isn’t a permanent transfer.” Cloutier broke a piece from his donut. “Screwthis case up, and it’s back to the beat for a very long time.”

“Okay.” Again, fair. Most cops had to put in years in uniform before they’d begiven an undercover assignment. She’d been on the force for three months.

“How did the mayor die?”

“Do you live on this planet?”

Clare eyed Cloutier’s dutchie. She wished she had one of her own. Or somethinggreasy, like bacon or sausage, to soak up her mild hangover.

“Hayden Pritchard died at last night’s Working Child Benefit. He collapsed in hisown vomit. It was all over the news.”

“Oh.” Clare was supposed to feel ignorant because she didn’t spend her eveningsglued to the local news? Fine, maybe she felt a little bit ignorant, but she wasn’tgoing to show it.

“Just read this.” Cloutier passed a printed e-mail across the stained Formica table.

Excerpt:

“It was supposed to be for Rix,” Mia whispered. “That’s why you went offplanet in the first place.”

Zakariah nodded, breathing deep through his nose.

“I love you, Zak.”

He stiffened against her declaration. “I can’t drag up the past with you, Mia. I just can’t do it. The past is gone.”

“Fine. I understand that.” She held her palms up as though to ward off the sentiment, her fingers spread as wide as she couldstretch. “I fully understand. But you can’t treat me like a child after seventeen years of marriage.”

“What will it take to secure your silence?”

“I’m not trying to blackmail you, for God’s sake. I just want to be your partner. You’re still my husband.”

Zak squinted past her shoulder. His probing eyes had locked onto something behind her. His body slumped with some newrealization, his face blank with concentration.

Mia twisted to look, sensing alarm. She could see nothing amiss. Just tourists and hotel workers. She turned back.

“What is it? Are we in danger?”

“Probably. Have you met my father, Mia?”

Cross-pollinating famous 19th-century fictional characters and his-torical figures from disparate sources, this wild, steampunk fantasypresents two consecutive tales of madcap adventure. Hilarious andunpredictable, the first section follows Wild Bill Hickock, AnnieOakley, George Custer, Sitting Bull, and Buffalo Bill Cody’s head—which is affixed to the top of a mechanical body—as they take theWild West Show to Japan by zeppelin. Further exploits involveFrankenstein as an aphrodisiac for a local shogun, encounters withCaptain “Bemo” and his submersible, and a trip to the “island of Dr.Momo.” The second phase of this nonstop romp—partly inscribedby a courageous young seal on his trusty notepad—accompaniesMark Twain and Jules Verne against the backdrop of a Martianinvasion. Escaping the carnage on a speedboat converted into atouring balloon, the boisterous group encounters more perilousexperiences in the form of an island of pirates, a steam-poweredrobot, a Kong-sized ape, and multiple tears in the space-time contin-uum. Raucous and inventive, this dime-store pulp parody is rifewith absurdist comedy while maintaining a literary scope.

Crossing noir with the supernatural, this luridly visceral antholo-gy attacks polite society and plunges into the unthinkable hor-rors lurking in its underbelly. Searching for some beauty in a timeof increasing poverty and neglect, the desperate are all the moremenacing, and in a brief moment, ordinary people turn intosomething far less human. Offering stylish yet savage tales of pri-vate dicks, serial killers, lurking demons, and femme fatales, thesesurreal and often bloody tales provide glimpses into sinisterworlds that mirror our own. Boasting an intriguing assortment ofstories from celebrated authors such as Harlan Ellison, DavidMorrell, and the infamous editor himself, each gritty and sensa-tional undertaking proves that being human is a far cry frombeing civilized.

Excerpt:

I wasn’t there when it happened, but I can see it nonetheless: the Italian countryside, cool in the stirrings ofan early summer that promises not to be too overbearing. Clouds sit motionless in the clearest of skies likegreat seagoing vessels. I imagine the lush, sloping hills spilling into the scenic valley, the grass aquamarineand populated by a dazzling array of thimble-shaped purple and yellow flowers. There is a rutted dirt road,just wide enough for a single vehicle, which winds around the hillside like a satin ribbon.

The vehicle appears first as a glinting beacon over the farthest hill. The stillness of the afternoon vibrates withthe grinding of gears and the rumbling of tires. I imagine the vehicle to be an old motorcar, something fromthe 1920s, with a convertible top stripped away, rubber matte running boards, headlamps like snare drums.

David is behind the wheel. I dress him in ridiculous driving goggles, racing gloves, a worn bomber jacket.The only thing missing is a silk scarf flapping behind him in the wind.

Hannah is in the passenger seat. She laughs, and I can see the glitter of her teeth, the faint parentheticallines at either side of her mouth. Her hair is short, curling just at her jaw, and appears the color of newcopper in midday.

When the car strikes something in the road—an errant tree limb or a large stone—David jerks the wheel,and Hannah’s laughter dies. I watch the motorcar swerve off the narrow, gouged road and rumble over agrassy knoll. The vehicle crests an embankment, and in that moment, it seems plausible that it will come torest at the zenith of the embankment, seesawing precipitously on its undercarriage but secure.

Instead, it clears the embankment and barrels right over to the other side where it teeters motionlessly inthe air for what seems like both a millisecond and a millennium at the same time. The motorcar tips for-ward and plummets to the mountainous terrain below, then erupts at the bottom in a dazzling belch of fire.

This image runs through my mind over and over as I lay dying.

Excerpt:

Tess Bienville used to earn a six-figure income as a sales executive for a communications con-glomerate in New Orleans, Louisiana. Now she barely squeaks by on minimum wage and thetips she earns as a tour guide for Haunted New Orleans Tour Company. At one time she livedin a sprawling conventional in the Garden District with her husband, Derek, and their four-year-old son, Max. Now home is a one-bedroom apartment with no air-conditioning that sitsabove the Lagniappe Shop in the French Quarter. And she lives there alone.

The past was a time filled with so much happiness, laughter, and love Tess often felt she livedin a fairytale meant only for the exceptionally blessed. That fairytale abruptly ended, however,five years ago—the day she lost Max. One moment he was holding her hand and chatteringaway while they strolled through a crowded flea market hunting for antiques, and the next . . .in the few short seconds she’d turned away to check the price on a Pillsbury Doughboy cookiejar . . . he was gone. Her life came to a halt that day; then it rolled over and died two weekslater, when Max’s small, decapitated body was found in an abandoned warehouse on the westside of the city. His murderer was never found.

A Buddhist perspective on the purpose of education

Soka EducationFor the Happiness of the IndividualSecond editionDaisaku Ikeda

“A worthwhile addition to academic and public libraries.” —Library Journal


From the Japanese word meaning “to create value,” this bookpresents a fresh perspective on the question of the ultimate pur-pose of education.

Rather than offer-ing practical classroom techniques, this book speaks to theemotional heart of both the teacher and the student. With inputfrom philosophers and activists from several cultures, it advancesthe conviction that the true purpose of education is to create apeaceful world and to develop the individual character of eachstudent in order to achieve that goal. This revised edition con-tains four new chapters that further elaborate on how to unlockself-motivated learning and how to empower the learner to makea difference in their communities and the world.

The true source of Western civilization—revealed

A Story Waiting to Pierce YouMongolia, Tibet and the Destinyof the Western WorldPeter Kingsley

“Peter Kingsley’s teaching is a journey back to the source.To understand him is to be transformed.”

—Eckhart Tolle, author, A New Earth

• Author tour to include Atlanta; New York City; and Ojai, California• Author’s previous books sold more than 20,000 copies

Reflecting on a time when Eastern and Western cultures wereone, this evocation contends that there is still a common spiritualheritage to all civilizations. Recounting a true story, this explo-ration tells of a wandering Mongol shaman who made a dramat-ic appearance around the Mediterranean centuries before thetime of Christ. This nomad was an envoy on a mission of purifi-cation, and this study records how he met with a man whobecame tremendously influential in Western science, philosophy,culture, and religion: Pythagoras. The essence of Western civiliza-tion is said to have originated from this meeting, and this exami-nation argues that today’s conflicts and tensions have stemmedfrom taking this monumental occasion for granted.

Peter Kingsley is ais the author of Ancient Philosophy, Mystery,and Magic; In the Dark Places of Wisdom; and Reality. He livesin Asheville, North Carolina.

The heart is not a sentimental organ, it is forth-right, brave and substantial. It supports and nour-ishes all systems of the body during a life-longcommitment to excellence. Moreover, the intelli-gence of the heart has within it a power that sig-nals the next level of development within thesurvival of our species.

Current belief states that heart intelligence is aflow of awareness and insight brought about aswe consciously develop our personal powerthrough initiation after initiation—the thousandnatural shocks that flesh is heir to. The heartsends us emotional and intuitive data that helpsus govern our lives. The heart always knows best,whereas the head indecisively chatters: “Shall I,shan’t I, will I, wont I?”

Miracles

Miracles are the result of bringing your energy or some-one else's into alignment with divine perfection.

What you give out you receive back. For example posi-tive thoughts are fifth dimensional. They touch other peo-ple and raise their frequency, allowing a miraculouschange of attitude to happen.

A couple I knew named George and Lorraine belongedto a club where there was a very unpopular member. Hewas always surly and grumbled about everything, so peo-ple tended to avoid him. George and Lorraine decided tosend him only positive, loving thoughts and treat him asif they really liked him. They greeted him cheerfully whenthey met him, invited him to join them and focused onhis good qualities when they were thinking about him.He changed dramatically towards them, becoming friend-ly, relaxed and interesting. And before long he extendedhis new attitude towards the other members and is now apopular and welcome personality in the club.
