Unfinished Business: Women Men Work Family by Anne-Marie

Slaughter (ISBN 9780812994568 $28.00) Anne-Marie Slaughter’s hotly anticipated book on work-life balance and gender equality, the leap beyond Sheryl Sandberg’s Lean in (sometimes “If you lean in too far,

you will tip over”), and a path forward to the future of the American workplace and lifestyle. When Anne-Marie Slaughter’s Atlantic article, “Why Women Still Can’t Have it All” first appeared, it immediately went viral, sparking a firestorm of debate across the country. Within four days, it had become the most-read article in the history of the magazine. In the following months, Slaughter became a leading voice in the nationwide discussion on work-life balance and on women’s changing role in the workplace. Now, Slaughter is here with her eagerly anticipated take on the problems we still face, and how we can finally get past them. In her pragmatic, down-to-earth style, Slaughter bursts the bubble on all the “half-truths” we tell young women about “having it all”, and explains what is really necessary to get true gender equality, both in the workplace and at home. Deeply

researched, and filled with all the warm, wise and funny anecdotes that first made her the most trusted and admired voice on the issue, Anne-Marie Slaughter’s book is sure to change minds, ignite debate, and be the topic of conversation.

The definitive history of DARPA, the Defense Advanced Research Project Agency, from the author of the New York Times bestseller Area 51 (ISBN 9780316202305 $16.00)

The Pentagon's Brain: An Uncensored History of DARPA,

America's Top-Secret Military Research Agency by Annie Jacobsen (ISBN 9780316371766 $30.00) No one has ever written the history of the Defense Department's most secret, most powerful, and most controversial military science R&D agency. In the first-ever history about the organization, New York Times bestselling author Annie Jacobsen draws on inside sources, exclusive interviews, private documents, and declassified memos to paint a picture of DARPA, or "the Pentagon's brain," from its Cold War inception in 1958 to the present. This is the book on DARPA--a compelling narrative about this clandestine intersection of science and the American military and the often frightening results.

NPR’s “ Morning Edition” with Steve Inskeep – 9/24 “Coast to Coast” (9/28) MSNBC Live (9/24) PBS’s “Well Read” (9/28) WNYC’s “Leonard Lopate” (9/24). C-Span’s “Book TV” will tape an event at the International Spy Museum in Washington, DC on Friday, 9/25. “A terrifically well-crafted treatise on the agency most Americans know next to nothing about.”

—Publishers Weekly, starred review “Filled with the intrigue and high stakes of a spy novel, Jacobsen's history of DARPA is as much a fascinating testament to human ingenuity as it is a paean to endless industrial warfare and the bureaucracy of the military-industrial complex.”

—Kirkus Reviews “Jacobsen’s account will serve as the model for histories of military research and development. This engrossing, conversation-starting read is highly recommended.”

—Library Journal

A drama series inspired by H.G. Wells’ The Island of Dr. Moreau is in

development at CBS. Phillip Iscove (Sleepy Hollow) is writing the script for CBS Television Studios and Kennedy/Marshall.

Brunch at Bobby's: 140 Recipes for the Best Part of the Weekend

by Bobby Flay with Stephanie Banyas and Sally Jackson (ISBN 9780385345897 $29.95) Brunch is Bobby Flay’s favorite meal of the week—as fans of his restaurants and Cooking Channel show know—and here are 140 flavorful reasons why.

Known for his skills at the grill, since 2010 Bobby Flay has also been sharing his other passion with television viewers: brunch. In Brunch @ Bobby’s, he includes recipes for his all-time favorite breakfasts. Starting with the lip-smacking cocktails we have come to expect from Bobby—along with spiked and virgin, hot and iced coffees and teas—he then works his way through eggs; pancakes, waffles, and French toast (including flavored syrups and spreads); pastries (a first for Bobby) and breads; salads and sandwiches; and side dishes all in signature fashion. Eggs Benedict head to the Gulf Coast for an upgrade, served atop homemade johnnycakes and crab cakes with Old Bay hollandaise sauce. Pancakes get a double dose of chocolate before being

drowned in salted caramel sauce. English popovers come stateside when made with cracked black pepper and Vermont cheddar. And salmon definitely benefits from a bright and crunchy Brussels sprout-apple slaw. Pull up a seat at the table, grab a glass, and enjoy the Sangria Sunrise! This is how Bobby does brunch.

The New Tsar: The Rise and Reign of Vladimir Putin by Steven Lee

Myers (ISBN 9780307961617 $32.50) The epic tale of the rise to power of Russia’s current president—the only complete biography in English – that fully captures his emergence from shrouded obscurity and deprivation to become one of the most consequential and complicated leaders in modern history, by the former New York Times Moscow bureau chief. In a gripping narrative of Putin’s rise to power as Russia’s president, Steven Lee Myers recounts Putin’s origins—from his childhood of abject poverty in Leningrad, to his ascension through the ranks of the KGB, and his eventual consolidation of rule. Along the way, world events familiar to readers, such as September 11th and Russia’s war in Georgia in 2008, as well as the 2014 annexation of Crimea and the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, are presented from never-before-seen perspectives. This book is a grand, staggering achievement and a breathtaking look at one man’s rule. On one hand, Putin’s many reforms—from tax cuts to an expansion of property rights—have helped reshape the potential of millions of Russians whose only experience of democracy had been crime, poverty, and instability after the fall of the Soviet Union. On the other hand, Putin has ushered in a new authoritarianism, unyielding in his brutal repression of revolts and squashing of dissent. Still, he retains widespread support from the Russian public. The New Tsar is a narrative tour de force, deeply researched, and utterly necessary for anyone fascinated by the formidable and ambitious Vladimir Putin, but also for those interested in the world and what a newly assertive Russia might mean for the future.

And backlash from the church isn’t keeping Gibney from pushing forward. “There’s a lot more material that I’ve received and a lot more information to come out,” he told journalists Saturday. Since the IRS has yet to revoke its tax exemption, said Gibney, “there’s more to be done.”

IN STOCK - Mycroft Holmes by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (ISBN

9781783291533 $25.99) Fresh out of Cambridge University, the young Mycroft Holmes is already making a name for himself in government, working for the Secretary of State for War. Yet this most British of civil servants has strong ties to the faraway island of Trinidad, the birthplace of his best friend, Cyrus Douglas, a man of African descent, and where his fiancée Georgiana Sutton was raised. Mycroft’s comfortable existence is overturned when Douglas receives troubling reports from home. There are rumors of mysterious disappearances, strange footprints in the sand, and spirits enticing children to their deaths, their bodies found drained of blood. Upon hearing the news, Georgiana abruptly departs for Trinidad. Near panic, Mycroft convinces Douglas that they should follow her, drawing the two men into a web of dark secrets that grows more treacherous with each step they take… Written by NBA superstar Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and screenwriter Anna Waterhouse, Mycroft Holmes reveals the untold story of Sherlock’s older brother. This harrowing adventure changed his life, and set the stage for the man Mycroft would become: founder of the famous Diogenes Club and the hidden power behind the British government.

M TRAIN by Patti Smith (ISBN 9781101875100 $25.00) From the National Book Award–winning author of

Just Kids (ISBN 9780060936228 $16.00): an unforgettable odyssey of a legendary artist, told through the prism of the cafés and haunts she has worked in around the world. It is a book Patti Smith has described as “a roadmap to my life.” M Train begins in the tiny Greenwich Village café where Smith goes every morning for black coffee, ruminates on the world as it is and the world as it was, and writes in her notebook. Through prose that shifts fluidly between dreams and reality, past and present, and across a landscape of creative aspirations and inspirations, we travel to Frida Kahlo’s Casa Azul in Mexico; to a meeting of an Arctic explorer’s society in Berlin; to a ramshackle seaside bungalow in New York’s Far Rockaway that Smith acquires just before Hurricane Sandy hits; and to the graves of Genet, Plath, Rimbaud, and Mishima. Woven throughout are reflections on the writer’s

craft and on artistic creation. Here, too, are singular memories of Smith’s life in Michigan and the irremediable loss of her husband, Fred Sonic Smith. Braiding despair with hope and consolation, illustrated with her signature Polaroids, M Train is a meditation on travel, detective shows, literature, and coffee. It is a powerful, deeply moving book by one of the most remarkable multiplatform artists at work today.

Eve by William Paul Young (ISBN 9781501101427 $16.00)

From the author of the twenty-two-million-copy bestseller The Shack (ISBN 9780964729230 $15.00) comes a captivating new

novel destined to be one of the most talked-about books of the decade. Eve is a bold, unprecedented exploration of the Creation narrative, true to the original texts and centuries of scholarship—yet with breathtaking discoveries that challenge traditional beliefs about who we are and how we’re made. Eve opens a refreshing conversation about the equality of men and women within the context of our beginnings, helping us see each other as our Creator does—complete, unique, and not constrained by cultural rules or limitations. When a shipping container washes ashore on an island between our world and the next, John the Collector finds a young woman inside—broken, frozen, and barely alive. With the aid of Healers and Scholars, John oversees her recovery and soon discovers that her genetic code

connects her to every known race. No one would guess what her survival will mean… No one but Eve, Mother of the Living, who calls her “daughter” and invites her to witness the truth about her own story—indeed, the truth about us all. As The Shack awakened readers to a personal, non-religious understanding of God, Eve will free us from faulty interpretations that have corrupted human relationships since the Garden of Eden. Thoroughly researched and exquisitely written, Eve is a masterpiece that will inspire readers for generations to come.

A Nation of Nations: A Great American Immigration Story by Tom

Gjelten (ISBN 9781476743851 $28.00) The dramatic and compelling story of the transformation of America during the last fifty years, told through a handful of families in one suburban county in Virginia that has been utterly changed by recent immigration. In the fifty years since the 1965 Immigration and Nationality Act, the foreign-born population of the United States has tripled. Significantly, these immigrants are not coming from Europe, as was the case before 1965, but from all corners of the globe. Today non-European immigration is ninety percent of the total immigration to the US. Americans today are vastly more diverse than ever. They look different, speak different languages, practice different religions, eat different foods, and enjoy different cultures.

In 1950, Fairfax County, Virginia, was ninety percent white, ten percent African-American, with a little more than one hundred families who were “other.” Currently the African-American percentage of the population is about the same, but the Anglo white population is less than fifty percent, and there are families of Asian, African, Middle Eastern, and Latin American origin living all over the county. A Nation of Nations follows the lives of a few immigrants to Fairfax County over recent decades as they gradually “Americanize.” Hailing from Korea, Bolivia, and Libya, these families have stories that illustrate common immigrant themes: friction, between minorities, economic competition and entrepreneurship, and racial and cultural stereotyping. It’s been half a century since the 1965 Immigration and Nationality Act changed the landscape of America, and no book has assessed the impact or importance of this law as this one does, with its brilliant combination of personal stories and larger demographic and political issues.

After a botched undercover operation, ex-NYPD officer Marshall Grade is living in witness protection in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
