Anne-Marie Slaughter's new book "Unfinished Business: Women Men Work Family" discusses the need for true gender equality in the workplace and at home. It challenges the idea that women can "have it all" and provides a pragmatic view of what is needed to achieve equality. The book draws on Slaughter's experience writing an article for The Atlantic on work-life balance that went viral. It is anticipated to spark debate and discussion. Steven Lee Myers' biography "The New Tsar: The Rise and Reign of Vladimir Putin" provides the first complete English-language biography of Russian President Vladimir Putin. It details his rise from poverty to leader of Russia and consolidation of power, as well as his controversial policies

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 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.

—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

5. 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.

6. 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.

7. 'Going Clear: Scientology & The Prison Of Belief' (ISBN

The Church of Scientology wasn’t a fan of Alex Gibney’s scathing documentary about
their organization, but Emmy was - HBO film Going Clear: Scientology and Prison of
Belief took home three Creative Arts Emmys. 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.

9. 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.

American Blood by Ben Sanders (ISBN 9781250058799
$24.99)
A former undercover cop now in witness protection
finds himself pulled into the search for a missing
woman; film rights sold to Warner Bros with
Bradley Cooper attached to star and produce.
After a botched undercover operation, ex-NYPD
officer Marshall Grade is living in witness protection
in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Marshall's instructions are
to keep a low profile: the mob wants him dead, and a
contract killer known as the Dallas Man has been
hired to track him down. Racked with guilt over
wrongs committed during his undercover work, and
seeking atonement, Marshall investigates the
disappearance of a local woman named Alyce Ray.
Members of a drug ring seem to hold clues to Ray's
whereabouts, but hunting traffickers is no quiet task.
Word of Marshall's efforts spreads, and soon the
worst elements of his former life, including the Dallas
Man, are coming for him.
Written by a rising New Zealand star who has been described as "first rate," this
American debut drops a Jack Reacher-like hero into the landscape of No
Country for Old Men. With film rights sold to Warner Bros, and Bradley Cooper
attached to play tortured hero Marshall Grade, American Blood is sure to follow in their
award-winning, blockbuster success.
