At a Glance In this funny and moving work of women's fiction, a young woman seeking guidance after her grandmother dies decides to put her faith in an astrologer - but can she let the stars run her life?

More About the Book Twenty-nine year old Viv's world is falling apart. She's just lost the grandmother who raised her, her boyfriend's gone, and her job soon follows. The stages of grief are hard enough to traverse when you're not worried about losing your apartment. Desperate for meaning in a world that seems to have turned on her overnight, Viv turns to the stars for answers. She begins by casually looking up her horoscope late at night, but it isn't long before she finds herself completely hooked. When she stumbles upon a particularly astute astrologer, she becomes so convinced of the power of the stars that she won't make a single move without them. When the astrologer advises Viv to break it off with the one man who's been her saving grace, Viv is reluctant to lose the last thing she's been holding on to. But the astrologer has been accurate on so many points, Viv can't help but wonder if she should trust her here, too.

Longest War by Bergen, Peter ISBN: 9780743278935 Format: HR (ROYAL H/B 230x152MM) Pages: 304 Imprint: FREE PRESS Price: $35.00 Pub Date: 1 February 2011 Subject: HISTORY Orderform: February 2011 - NON FICTION

At a Glance In this landmark work, bestselling author Peter Bergen tells the story of America's war on terror-from Washington to Afghanistan to Iraq. This is the whole story of how the war on terror is being fought.

More About the Book In the last decade, America's priorities have changed. National security has become the primary concern for citizens and a top priority for government officials. Billions of dollars have been spent fighting the war on terror, and millions more have been spent by private citizens around the globe trying to understand how we got here. Investigative journalist and bestselling author ofHoly War, Inc. and The Osama bin Laden I Know, Peter Bergen is the authority who can answer that question. One of few Westerners to ever sit down with Osama bin Laden, Bergen is renowned for his analysis of al Qaeda and its evolution over the last decade. Now, he is breaking the story open in a way that readers have never seen before. Bergen picks up where Lawrence Wright's The Looming Tower leaves off. He reveals the details of how al Qaeda has evolved since the 9/11 attacks, and tells the parallel story of how the U.S. government has changed its own course in response. Bergen has unprecedented insight that comes through many channels: internal documents from both al Qaeda and U.S. counterterrorism offices, in person interviews with al Qaeda members of the highest and lowest ranks, hundreds of interviews conducted with senior officials in the White House, Pentagon, CIA and the FBI, and his own experiences on the ground in Afghanistan. Longest War will be the definitive account of the war on terror-its failures and successes, the major players, and its likely future.

About the Author Peter L. Bergen is CNN's terrorism analyst and a print and television reporter who has done extensive reporting about al Qaeda around the world for more than a decade. Bergen has written about terrorism for The New York Times, Los Angeles Times, The Washington Post, The New Republic, Foreign Affairs, The Atlantic, Rolling Stone, The Nation, Mother Jones, The Guardian, and The Daily Telegraph. Bergen is a Schwartz senior fellow at the New American Foundation in Washington D.C; a research fellow at New York

University's Center on Law and Security, and an Adjunct Professor at the School of Advanced International Studies at Johns Hopkins University. In 2008 he was an Adjunct Lecturer at the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University. Bergen is based in Washington, D.C.

Key Sales Points A different kind of war story. The war on terror is being waged on different fronts around the world, and it is a war like no other. The enemy is fleeting and furtive; the scale of the war is unprecedented. Only someone with Bergen's connections could tell this story. The view from around the enemy world. This is the first book that will use the enemies' thoughts and words in the story. Bergen will weave interviews and other source material from enemy leaders to present the fullest picture of the battle. A Very Long War is an up to the minute history of the war since 9/11. A complete and fascinating look at American national security. Bergen has an unparalleled understanding of our national security and its weaknesses as perceived by al Qaeda. His unique understanding of al Qaeda, its leaders, and its potency makes this book a must read for those who want to get inside the minds of our most dangerous enemies. Groundbreaking investigative reporter. Bergen has been covering al Qaeda since the 1993 attack on the World Trade Center and is one of the few western journalists to have personally interviewed Osama bin Laden. He is well known for his work in the Middle East, and was recently invited by General Petraeus to spend time in Iraq.

Eliza's parents expect her to learn the qualities needed to be a graceful and obedient wife, but Eliza has a dangerous secret... she's a witch! After finding a dusty, leather-bound spell book, Eliza forms a secret coven with eleven other Billings girls, disguising their gatherings as a literary society to keep their teachers from discovering the truth.

Eliza realises that magic could bring her everything she's ever wanted... but it could also destroy everything she holds dear. But is it too late to stop what she's started?

At a Glance Written by an experienced neurologist, spirituality.

The God Impulse examines the biology behind human

More About the Book Why do people have near-death experiences? Are there physical explanations for those out-of-body sensations and tunnels of light? And what about moments of spiritual ecstasy? If Buddha had been in an MRI machine and not under the Bodhi tree when he attained enlightenment, what would we have seen on the monitor? In The God Impulse, Kevin Nelson, a neurologist with three decades' experience examining the biology behind human spirituality, deconstructs the spiritual self, uncovering its origin in the most primitive areas of our brain. Through his revolutionary studies on near-death experience, Nelson has discovered that spiritual experience is an incidental product of several different neurological processes acting independently. When we feel close to God or sense the presence of departed relatives, we may believe that we are standing at the border of this world and the next as individual, autonomous, rational creatures-touching God. The reality is far different: our brain function resembles a Cubist painting by Picasso or Braque, and the experiences we regard as the height of our humanity are in fact produced by primal reflexes. The God Impulse takes us on a journey into what Nelson calls the borderlands of consciousness. The book offers the first comprehensive, empirically-tested, peer-reviewed examination of the reasons we are capable of near-death experience, out-of-body experience, and the mystical states produced by hallucinogenic drugs

About the Author Kevin Nelson, M.D. is Professor of Neurology at the University of Kentucky and is a fellow in the American Academy of Neurology and the American Association of Neuromuscular and Electrodiagnostic Medicine. His dozens of publishing credentials include chapters in the Saunders Manual of Medical Practice and articles

in Neurology, Muscle Nerve, Pediatric Neurosurgery , and the Journal of Clinical Neurophysiology . He has published letters in the New England Journal of Medicine and Neurology.

Key Sales Points Kevin Nelson is a world-renowned neurobiologist with more than three decades of experience examining the neurological processes behind human beings' spiritual feelings and experiences. The first comprehensive, empirically tested, peer-reviewed examination of our capacity for near-death experience, out-of-body experience, and related drug- and disease-induced mystical states. Nelson's studies have garnered unbelievable media attention, and new findings that can be timed to book publication will ensure a huge amount of exposure.

At a Glance A book about the ordinary heroes who pulled off one of the most daring endeavors of the Cold War-the Berlin Airlift. It kept alive two million Berliners who had been cut off on the ground by a Soviet blockade, with food, medicine, clothing and coal for 467 days during 1948 and 1949 and dealt the first Cold War victory.

More About the Book The book is essentially chronological, with continuity generally provided byTask Force Times , the little daily newspaper published by the Americans during the Berlin Airlift, and the weekly reports, never before published, secretly prepared for leaders of the Social Democrat Party by a former newspaperman returned from exile in Norway, a young man named Willy Brandt. The narrative is told through the lives (and diaries) of an extraordinary set of characters, beginning with Harry S. Truman, Joseph Stalin, Ernest Bevin and General Lucius Clay. The others are among the 60,000 men and women who made the airlift: the American and British pilots called away from their post-war lives, the former Luftwaffe mechanics, Nazis and communists among them, who kept the planes flying, Ernst Reuter, the extraordinary mayor of Berlin, General William Tunner, the multinational task force commander-and the desperate people of a beseiged city telling their stories in vivid diaries and letters. Reeves's research includes more than 300 interviews in the United States, Great Britain and Germany, diaries and letters of participants, official records from the countries and services involved, journalism of the day in those countries, videotapes on deceased veterans, visits to the important fields and sites of the story and more than one hundred books, many of them privately published. The people of the city, more than two million of them, were starving and had been since World War II ended in May of 1945. Occupation officials of the four powers were initially determined to keep Germans from rebuilding their country by keeping them on diets of 1500 calories a day. Orders were issued to pour gasoline on the garbage cans of occupation headquarters and barracks to prevent Germans from scavenging-American soldiers refused those orders. Chronic hunger and a lack of fuel took an inhuman toll, old people and children starved and froze to death in all sectors of Berlin. "Rubble women," clearing the streets and bombed out houses died as they worked, soon adding to the stench of death rising as gas from the bodies under the bricks and stone. And that was before the Soviets, surrounding the 6500 allied occupation soldiers with 400,000 combat

troops, cut off the supply of food and fuel to the Western zones of the city by closing roads, rail-lines and canals in the last days of June 1948. From then until May of 1949, American and British planes and pilots delivered 2.3 million tons of food and ten times as much coal in 277,500 flights with 71 men killed in crashes, most of them caused by the dreadful weather in northern Europe.

Darkest Summer by Sloan, Bill ISBN: 9781416571759 Format: B (B FMT 198X129 MM / /LGE CROWN 8VO) Pages: 400 Imprint: S&S US Price: $24.99 Pub Date: 1 February 2011 Subject: NON FICTION Orderform: February 2011 - INDENT

At a Glance The acclaimed, dramatic Band-of-Brothers-style story of the first three months of the Korean War, when outnumbered and outgunned Marines and GIs executed two of the greatest military operations in history and saved South Korea - and the Marine Corps - from extinction.

More About the Book One of the greatest reversals of military fortune in history occurred during the desperate first three months of the Korean War (June-September, 1950). The Darkest Summer is the dramatic, hour-by-hour, casualty-by-casualty story of those first three months - a period that saw American and UN forces almost driven into the sea by the North Korean invaders, then stage an incredible turn-around that reversed the entire course of the war. The narrative begins with the blitzkrieg-style invasion of South Korea on June 25, 1950, then follows the disastrous defeats of the outmanned U.S. Eighth Army in the early going. It then recounts the landing by the First Provisional Marine Brigade at Pusan, at the southeastern tip of Korea, on August 2, and the desperate situation of the Marine Corps itself as it faced extinction in a massive downsizing of the U.S. military. It traces the bitter, bloody fighting that led to a turning of the tide, culminating in the miraculous defense of the Pusan Perimeter by U.S. Marine and Army units against overwhelming odds. The book's climax is the incredibly daring surprise amphibious landing of the 1st Marine Division behind enemy lines at the west-coast port of Inchon and the dramatic recapture and liberation of the South Korean capital city of Seoul. Pusan is one of the greatest defensive stands in military history, and the Inchon landing is one of the greatest amphibious operations and surprise attacks in military history. The Darkest Summer is markedly different from most books on the Korean War. For one, it is an uncomplicated "easy read" that makes the background and political implications of the war - as well as a broad overview of this most misunderstood of American wars - readily understandable to casual readers without bogging them down in extraneous details or side issues. Unlike most other books on the subject, this one doesn't attempt to cover the entire war, most of which was spent in deadlocked, strategic stalemate. Instead, it concentrates on the early months of the conflict. This was the period of America's most humiliating defeats and greatest, most incredible military victories - the period when South Korea was saved from a Communist takeover that at first seemed inevitable. Another important difference between this book and many others on the Korean War is that The Darkest Summer takes the reader into muddy foxholes, across endless rice paddies, and up hotly contested ridges

Summer takes the reader into muddy foxholes, across endless rice paddies, and up hotly contested ridges with the men who fought and fell there. Through exclusive author interviews, unpublished memoirs, and oral histories, some sixty combat veterans of the Pusan Perimeter, the Inchon landing, and the bloody recapture of Seoul relive their personal stories in print for the first time. The result is an intense and insightful account of the most dramatic and historically important portion of the war, written in Band-of-Brothers style and told from the perspective of the soldiers and Marines on the ground as they sought to stop enemy tanks with nothing more than rifles, grenades, obsolete rockets, and raw courage. It's the story of exhausting combat under the most excruciating conditions imaginable - from searing heat ranging up to 115 degrees or more and bone-chilling cold of 40-plus degrees below zero.

At a Glance How to Teach Physics to Your Dog is the ingeniously simple narrative guide to the perplexing world of quantum physics.

More About the Book In this fascinating, humourous and approachable introduction to quantum Physics, author Chad Orzel explains to his dog Emmy, and to human readers, just what quantum mechanics is and how it works-and why, although you can't use it to catch critters or eat steak, it's still bizarre, amazing, and important to every dog and human. Follow along as Chad and Emmy discuss the central elements of quantum theory, from particles that behave like waves and Heisenberg's uncertainty principle to entanglement ("spooky action at a distance") and virtual particles. Along the way, they discuss the history of the theory, like the experiments that discovered that electrons are waves and particles at the same time, and Albert Einstein and Niels Bohr's decades-long debate over what quantum theory really meant (Einstein may have been smarter, but Bohr was right more often)..

About the Author Chad Orzel was born and raised in central New York, and received a degree in physics from Williams College, and his Ph.D. in chemical physics from the University of Maryland. He is now a professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at Union College in Schenectady, New York.

Reviews "I loved Bleeding Violet - I did not want to put it down (I may have been sneaking peeks when on phone hold and at red lights etc). It reminded me of Uglies the way it deals indirectly with some big issues, for Uglies, self image etc, with this BV it is mental illness. Anyone who can pull off such an entertaining novel where the main character has bipolar disorder is a very clever writer. Amanda Sharma. S&S Australia Telesales "The resulting novel is wonderfully baffling, and as lush, warm, and conflicted as Hanna herself. Hanna is a refreshingly unbalanced protagonist-unafraid of gore or her own sexual power while also being terrified of any loss and unable to handle simple high-school power negotiations. Her struggles are wrenchingly genuine and often even life-threatening (both against horrors released through the portals and the unrelenting clamor and chaos lurking in her own brain chemistry), and readers will likely literally sigh with relief when Hanna finally captures a bit of good to balance her world." Bulletin "This fast-paced (almost manic) page-turner about defeating evil and finding love respects its richly drawn characters too much for easy didacticism. Captivating." Kirkus

"Portero [is] an intriguing world and biracial Hanna is a startlingly unusual heroine with a poignant, memorable voice." Booklist "An original plot, a unique protagonist, and plenty of weirdness makes Reeve's first novel a satisfying read. Teens who crave a dose of the dark arts will love this novel." VOYA "To sum this up in one word: WOOOOOW!" Lost in Ink "This is a terrific debut novel...Hanna's desire for the love of her mother, who pushes her away, is sad and relatable, and the plot has breathtaking twists. Reeves has penned a must-read novel." Teen Scene

For the Love of Physics by Lewin, Walter ISBN: 9781439108277 Format: HR (ROYAL H/B 230x152MM) Imprint: FREE PRESS Price: $35.00 Pub Date: 1 February 2011 Subject: NON FICTION Orderform: February 2011 - INDENT

At a Glance A delightful journey through the stunning range of discoveries in physics - all the way from the amazing, weird features of the tiny subatomic realm to the very latest findings mind-blowing findings about the farthest reaches of the universe from the beloved MIT professor featured on the CBS Evening News and the front page of the New York Times, whose riveting physics lectures have made him a YouTube super-star.

More About the Book Walter Lewin's great aim in life has been to thrill people with the wonders of physics and teach them a whole new way of seeing the world and how it works. He has perfected lectures that are hugely entertaining even while truly explaining the laws and discoveries of physics, and in this book he pours all of his 30 plus years of spectacularly successful lecturing into bringing that same infectiously engaging journey through the wonders of physics to the mass public. Lewin is a real character - he often wears a plastic fried egg on his shirt while lecturing to remind himself not to get egg on his face - and he puts himself on stage as a human guinea pig time and again to perform lively experiments that make the physics fun. But he is also a brilliant mind and a deeply thoughtful and humane man with an intense love of physics and its special beauty and poetry. Lewin is a wonderful raconteur in the book, sharing plentiful stories from his own life and his coming of age as a physicist - such as the awe-inspiring feeling of being a young scientist in the dawn of the nuclear age and holding exotic radioactive isotopes decaying in his hands. He covers the full gamet of physics, from the coolest, weirdest feaures of the very tiniest bits of matter all the way up the most awe-inspiring features of the outer limits of the universe. All along the way he finds intriguing and captivating ways to introduce the physics, such as explaining that there really is an end to every rainbow and that if you get close enough, in just the right way, you can actually touch it and revealing why it's true that, as his beloved grandmother used to tell him, we are taller when lying down than when standing up. And he gives readers a host of fun ways to experience the amazing truths of physics in their own daily lives, right in their own homes and backyards, such as how to make your own "manometer," in order to measure the pressure in your lungs and the perfect way to spot the strange and beautiful atmospheric phenomena known as "glories" when looking out an airplane window. The book is a wondefully idiosyncratic journey into Walter Lewin's somewhat whacky, always eye-opening and entertaining way of seeing the beauty with which physics helps us to understand our world.

With the reproductive issues that have long plagued the Andorian people reaching crisis level, avenues of research that at first held great promise have proven largely unhelpful, and may well indeed be worsening the problem. Despite the Federation's seeming inability to provide assistance and growing doubt over its commitment to a staunch, longtime ally, Andorian scientists now offer renewed hope for a solution. However, many segments of Andorian society are protesting this controversial new approach, and more radical sects are beginning to make their displeasure known by any means available. In response, President Nanietta Bacco has sent the Enterprise crew and a team of diplomats and scientists to Andor to convene a summit, in the hope of demonstrating that the Federation's pledge to helping Andor is sincere. But the Typhon Pact is watching, and their pursuits may very well lead the Andorian people down an even more treacherous path....

At a Glance An uproarious memoir-clearly written by the man himself-about the L.A. Law star Harry Hamlin's childhood in the 1960s, his college years in Berkeley, California and the early days of his acting career.

More About the Book Harry Hamlin made his debut on the big screen starring as Perseus in Clash of the Titans in 1981. He became a household name when he starred in popular television series, L.A. Law, and he was voted People Magazine's "Sexiest Man Alive" in 1987. Like any Hollywood insider worth his salt, he's had his share of highly-publicized romantic entanglements, career compromising flops, and scandals. And none of it makes its way onto the pages of Hamlin's first memoir,Full Frontal Nudity . Full Frontal Nudity is not a memoir of show-business, nor is it a celebrity tell-all. It is the hilarious and lively story of a boy growing up in suburban California in the 1960s in a regular American family. His mother is a housewife who occasionally has one too many glasses of chardonnay, his father is a rocket scientist with secrets, and the family has a dog named Spot. At eleven years old, all Harry wants for Christmas is a black Schwin bike but his parents get him a powder blue Stingray knockoff instead-that and a five year subscription to Playboy. From Harry's earliest mishap peeing into the dog bowl behind the house, to later arriving at the University of California at Berkeley a day too late to register for architecture classes (and deciding he might as well try acting instead), to being expelled from Berkeley by Ronald Regan himself only to end up graduating from Yale, Full Frontal Nudity is filled with good humour, hilarity, warmth and charm.

At a Glance One part mind/body exploration, one part spiritual memoir, and one part guide for better living: the remarkable story of a man who heals deformities, cures illnesses, and has even woken someone from a coma using the power of conscious healing.

More About the Book Almost a decade ago, J.P. Farrell was a frustrated New York City businessman. Mired in a world of high-stakes deals and late hours, his career in real estate provided no solace for his soul, so he turned to his one love - sculpting. While working on the face of a damaged statue one night, he began to meditate, wondering what it would be like to restore deformed human faces like he could a piece of marble. And suddenly, in one powerful moment, his life was transformed. J.P. Farrell had learned to harness the power of conscious healing - a transformative method of healing wounds, illnesses, and deformaties through a powerful spiritual connection with a higher force. In the years since his spiritual awakening; Farrell has regenerated the face of a severely deformed young man, woken up someone from a coma, virtually erased a brain tumor, and more - simply by laying his hands on the patients and channeling the power of healing. Backed by leading researchers (one of whom will write a foreword to this book), Farrell now sits on the board of trustees of the Global Health Institute, a nonprofit whose mission is to educate health professionals, students and the media community on the discoveries, cutting edge therapies and emerging knowledge that is shaping the future of healthcare. His work with the Global Health Institute allows him to practice conscious healing with a select group of patients - all of whom have applied and pay the nonprofit directly - furthering his mission to show that medicine is not simply about pills, lab work, and science, but rather, that there are more powerful spiritual forces at play. Much like Carolyn Myss, this book is both a spiritual exploration and an instructional meditation, showing the reader how to harness their own consciousness to heal their own illnesses-both psychological and physical, all the while exploring the remarkable journey of one man in his quest to help others.

They tell a host of success stories - and also some cautionary tales of what not to do - from leading companies across the full range of business sectorsthat they have either consulted to or been given access to study, including Nike, Nokia, Infosys, Pfizer, Nestle, and Toyota.

More About the Book Ella Barron runs her Texas boarding house with the efficiency of a ship's captain and the grace of a gentlewoman. She cooks, cleans, launders, and cares for her ten-year-old son, Solly, a sweet but challenging child whose busy behaviour and failure to speak elicits undesired advice from others in town. Ella's plate is full from sunup to sundown. But when a room in her boarding house opens up and the respected town doctor, Dr. Kincaid, brings Ella a new boarder-the handsome and gallant Mr. David Rainwater-Ella is immediately resistant to opening up her home to this mysterious stranger. Even with Dr. Kincaid's assurances that Mr. Rainwater is a man of impeccable character, a former cotton broker and a victim of the Great Depression, Ella stiffens at the thought of taking him in. Dr. Rainwater tells Ella in confidence that Mr. Rainwater won't require the room for long: he is dying. Begrudgingly, Ella accepts Mr. Rainwater's application to board, but she knows that something is happening; she is being swept along by an unusual series of events. Soon, this strong-minded, independent woman will realize that the living that she has eked out for herself in the small bubble of her town is about to change, whether she likes it or not... Racial tensions, the financial strain of livelihoods in cotton drying up into dust, and the threat of political instability swirl together into a tornado on the horizon.

An anthology of new essays by major historians and sponsored by West Point, Grand Illusions will directly inform this urgent national debate

More About the Book Not all wars end decisively, with one general turning over his sword to another or with a foreign emperor bowing abjectly before his conquerors on a battleship. In many cases, wars end messily and for political reasons. Such 'terminations' are complicated, inconclusive and fascinating. With the United States currently attempting to extricate itself from two long and bitter wars, nothing could be more timely and important than a thorough examination of how the U.S. has historically ended its major conflicts, from the Revolution to the first Gulf War. This book consists of fifteen essays by leading American historians who will address the question of how the nation's wars have come to an end. Although a major issue throughout our history, this vital matter has never received a systematic or comprehensive review by historians or other specialists.

More About the Book Popularity is the best revenge. In the final weeks of eighth grade, Lauren Wood made a choice. She betrayed her best friend, Helen, in a manner so publicly humiliating that Helen had to move to a new town just to save face. Ditching Helen was worth it, though, because Lauren started high school as one of the It Girls-and now, at the start of her senior year, she's the cheerleading captain, the quarterback's girlfriend, and the undisputed queen bee. Lauren has everything she's ever wanted, and she has forgotten all about her ex-best friend. But Helen could never forget Lauren. After three years of obsessing, she's moving back to her old town. She has a new name and a new look, but she hasn't dropped her old grudges. She has a detailed plan to bring down her former BFF by taking away everything that's ever been important to Lauren, one by one-starting with her boyfriend. Watch out, Lauren Wood. Things are about to get bitchy.

Reviews Praise for Getting Revenge on Lauren Wood: "Ms. Cook develops the story at just the right pace...getting revenge has never been so much fun!" TeensReadToo.com "Helen's character arc is...well managed and believable, especially when the vestiges of her better self start to niggle at her conscience....Her management of the popularity game deftly reveals how brittle it can be, particularly when being popular isn't coupled with actually being liked."

About the Author Eileen Cook spent most of her teen years wishing she were someone else or somewhere else, which is great training for a writer. When she was unable to find any job postings for world famous author, she went to Michigan State University and became a counselor so she could at least afford her book buying habit. But real people have real problems, so she returned to writing because she liked having the ability to control the ending. Which is much harder with humans. You can read more about Eileen, her books, and the things that strike her as funny at eileencook.com. Eileen lives in Vancouver with her husband and dogs and no longer wishes to be anyone or anywhere else.

What if our physical hunger is symptomatic of a greater spiritual hunger? What if Spirit is actually all around us, ready to fill us with energy, hope, and direction, if we are ready to ingest it? What if Spirit is like air and water, readily available for us to draw within; that is, if we choose to seek it?

At a Glance An epic original science fiction from the best-known writing duo in science fiction.

More About the Book Only the most desperate of Constellation colonists would ever dare to make a new home on Hellhole, a planet ravaged by natural disasters. Persistent volcanic eruptions, destructive storms and recent damage inflicted by significant asteroid impact make the planet a dumping ground for undesirables, misfits and charlatans. But its location out on the wild frontiers of the Constellation, among the Deep Zone worlds, makes it the final refuge for those fleeing from the rule of Diadem Michella duch*enet - a tyrant with a sweet face, but a blackened, shrivelled heart. General Adolphus, the military leader who was exiled to the planet when he was defeated in the first abortive revolution against the Diadem, is determined to transform Hellhole into a place of real opportunity for the inhabitants. While the colonists are diligently working to develop the planet, the General is forging secret alliances with the leaders of the other Deep Zone worlds. He dreams of turning his prison into the centre of a new coalition of planets free from the Diadem's iron grip. Back on the decadent capital planet of Sonjeera, surrounded by corruption and consumed by the plots and feuds of the Old Guard nobles, Diadem Michella is confident that the General has been neutralized. She has no idea of the revolt growing in the Deep Zone... or does she? But what no one knows is this: the planet Hellhole, though damaged and volatile, hides secrets of historic magnitude. Lurking beneath the surface are the remnants of an obliterated alien civilization, detailing an unrecorded past, which, if unearthed, could tear the fragile human civilization apart.

This revolutionary programme is based on the most recent scientific research on the biochemistry of love including cutting-edge studies and interviews with experts such as Dr Mehmet Oz. In the final section of the book, Marci supplies readers with strategies for maintaining unconditional love in the face of everyday challenges in the areas of relationships, work and overall health and wellbeing.

More About the Book Michael K has just started at his new school, but as if his very first day wasn't going to be hard enough, he's been forced to make friends with the two other new kids who are really weird. But, as Michael K soon finds out, Bob and Jennifer are not actually weird kids, they're aliens! Real aliens who have invaded our planet with one very important mission to complete: to convince 3,400,001 kids to BE SPHDZ too, or the Earth gets turned off! Will the SPHDZ be able to keep their cover and complete their mission?

Reviews "With this series kick-off, Scieszka and Sedita have just written the book (literally) on how to integrate new media into a "traditional" book for children. The story's websites are all functional (not to mention funny) and extend the narrative. Prigmore's black-and-white illustrations are a perfect match; in fact, artwork and text have rarely worked so well together in this format. Hysterical, sneakily instructive fun." KIRKUS, starred review

Fully illustrated throughout and bursting with crazy, wacky and hilarious drawings. The unique mix of text, illustrations and online activities will encourage children to interact with the story from a variety of sources and respond to the call to action to become a SPHDZ themselves!

At a Glance An inspiring story of adventure and achievement from an internationally recognised endurance swimmer and ambassador for the environment.

More About the Book In July 2007, Lewis Gordon Pugh became the first person to swim at the North Pole, in temperatures that would kill a normal person, primarily to raise awareness of climate change. Nicknamed 'the human polar bear' for his ability to raise his body's core temperature at will, he has pioneered swims in the world's most hostile waters, redefining what it is possible to achieve in terms of endurance. A maritime lawyer and former member of the SAS, Lewis tells his fantastic story here for the first time. Chapters cover his childhood, growing up with his 'hero' Surgeon Rear Admiral father, his early life in South Africa, his training in the army's elite corps, his inspiration and, of course, plenty of action/adventure stories, chronicling his many nail-biting endurance swims. He also shares his secrets on how to achieve the seemingly impossible. With practical lessons taken from his own life, Lewis explains how recognising one's passions and taking calculated risks is essential for anyone looking to fulfil their goals. The book will also cover his expedition kayaking to the North Pole in summer 2008 and his most dangerous mission yet, in Summer 2009. His story is inspiring, entertaining and thrilling in equal measure, and its 40-year-old author is a much-needed role model for our times.

At a Glance Book Four of The Shadow Saga reaches an apocalyptic climax as all Hell breaks loose and Peter Octavian stands between the Earth and its destruction.

More About the Book The Gospel of Shadows enabled the Catholic Church to control all manner of supernatural beings for centuries. When the book was destroyed - and the ruling body of the Church with it - it enabled the Shadows, the vampires of legend, to learn the hidden truth of their triple nature: part human, part demonic, part divine. But it also weakened the barriers that exist between the worlds, and now beings of pure evil are breaking through - creatures from other dimensions for which Hell is just a name. Peter Octavian, once a powerful Shadow, now restored to humanity, is the only man with sufficient knowledge to stop them. Aided by a earthwitch, a vampire and a priest, and calling on the magical forces of mother nature herself, Octavian stands between the Earth and apocalypse, as entire cities are plunged into the abyss...

" Sunday Telegraph "... and epic and strikingly original love story set in hot, steamy Trinidad,' Australian Women's Weekly "Roffey's evocation of Trinidad is extraordinary vivid, the central relationship beautifully observed... . deservedly short-listed for the Orange Prize." The Times "A rich and highly engaging novel" The Guardian "In eloquent, sometimes poetic, always passionate prose, Roffey paints an intriguing and sometimes disturbing picture of Trinidad in the turbulent post-colonial era. Roffey leads unerringly into the dark areas of slavery's shadow: when racism begets racism, it's time for the hard questions, and this riveting story of a

marriage as it crash-lands asks them fearlessly," Caribbean Beat "From its opening pages, I was entranced by the world of this novel. Monique Roffey's Trinidad is full of strife and languor, violence and also hushed moments of peace, so beautifully and lushly evoked that while I was reading Trinidad became more real for me than my own neighbourhood. What a vibrant, provocative, satisfying novel-I can't stop thinking about it." Suzanne Berne, Orange Prize winner "a charming tale that succeeds on many levels with a cast of whimsical characters, atmosphere, intrigue and a jolt of sweet and sour themes" Courier Mail "With great characters and a unique story, she draws an intriguing portrait of a marriage that resonates, yes, long after the last page is turned."

At a Glance A day-by-day account of Aron Ralston's unforgettable survival story - his terrible accident, self-amputation, rescue and recovery.

More About the Book On Sunday April 27, 2003, 27-year old Aron Ralston set off for a day's hiking in the Utah canyons. Dressed in a t-shirt and shorts, Ralston, a seasoned climber, figured he'd hike for a few hours and then head off to work. 40 miles from the nearest paved road, he found himself on top of an 800-pound boulder. As he slid down and off of the boulder it shifted, trapping his right hand against the canyon wall. No one knew where he was; he had little water; he wasn't dressed correctly; and the boulder wasn't going anywhere. He remained trapped for five days in the canyon: hypothermic at night, de-hydrated and hallucinating by day. Finally, he faced the most terrible decision of his life: braking the bones in his wrist by snapping them against the boulder, he hacked through the skin, and finally succeeded in amputating his right hand and wrist. The ordeal, however, was only beginning. He still faced a 60-foot rappell to freedom, and a walk of several hours back to his car - along the way, he miraculously met a family of hikers, and with his arms tourniqued, and blood-loss almost critical, they heard above them the whir of helicopter blades; just in time, Aron was rescued and rushed to hospital. Since that day, Aron has had a remarkable recovery. He is back out on the mountains, with an artificial limb; he speaks to select groups on his ordeal and rescue; and amazingly, he is upbeat, positive, and an inspiration to all who meet him. This is the account of those five days, of the years that led up to them, and where he goes from here. It is narrative non-fiction at its most compelling.

About the Author Aron Ralston grew up in the Midwest before moving to Colorado when he was twelve, a place where he became an avid outdoorsman. Since his accident, he has resumed his life of adventure and discovery. This is his first book.

Key Sales Points Now a major motion picture from Fox Searchlight directed by Oscar winner Danny Boyle (Slumdog Millionaire, 28 Days Later, Trainspotting) and starring James Franco. Legendary story, inspiring man - Ralston's self-amputation of his arm, and subsequent rescue, combines

the power of a harrowing personal story with the excitement of a great adventure yarn. A hero for our times - Aron is sincere, funny, kind, and most of all inspiring. He was bedridden for 90 days and had five surgeries; he has five different prosthetic hands and two different prosthetic arms. He designed his own prosthetic device for rock climbing and has resumed hiking.

At a Glance 100 delicious recipes for the carnivore with a conscience.

More About the Book Let's be clear: this is not a vegetarian cookbook. This book is about meat. We're all aware that cutting down on meat and dairy would significantly help reduce greenhouse gases, and in addition improve our health. But the majority of us do not want to give it up entirely. InLess is More Rachel de Thample shows how to make the most of the meat you do eat, stretching out a roast to last the week and using lesser known cuts of meat in imaginative ways. She provides 100 delicious recipes such as Beef Miso Ginger Soup, Mayan Gold Chilli, and Lamb Burger with Roast Aubergine and Pistachio Mayonnaise that she has created to persuade even the most hardened carnivore that eating less meat is a good thing. Each recipe contains the recommended 50g protein as well as 2.5 servings of your recommended 5 fruit and veg a day.

About the Author Rachel de Thample grew up eating steak for breakfast in her native Texas. So, by no means are you being preached to by a vegetarian! Rachel has worked in the kitchens of Marco Pierre White, Heston Blumenthal and Peter Gordon. She has been writing on food issues for over a decade. She worked as Commissioning Editor of Waitrose Food Illustrated and contributed to two books on Borough Market. She currently works for the ethical food retailer Abel & Cole, meeting with food buyers and looking at the ethical aspects of sourcing food.

Key Sales Points We eat twice the amount of meat we need and only half the vegetables. This book flips that statistic with delicious, easy-to-make recipes.

According to UN figures, meat production is responsible for around 18 per cent of global carbon emissions (others put the figure as high as 50 per cent). This is the perfect recipe book for those who care about the environment, but don't want to become fully vegetarian.

Mayan Prophecies by Benedict, Gerald ISBN: 9781907486258 Format: Z (MISC P/B) Pages: 176 Imprint: Duncan Baird Price: $35.00 Pub Date: 1 February 2011 Subject: MBS Orderform: February 2011 - NON FICTION

At a Glance Is the world going to end on 21 December 2012 or will a new 'golden age' dawn for humankind? Here are compelling insights into the Mayans' worldview and their end-time prophecies for 2012 .

More About the Book For centuries wise men of the Mayan civilisation of Central America devoted themselves to predicting the movements of celestial bodies and amassing a body of revelations about the future. At the winter solstice in 2012 their prophecies will come to fruition: this is when, according to the chilam (time-keeper priests), the current epoch of time will come to an end. One way to interpret this is in terms of looming apocalypse; but a more thoughtful way is to look at human thinking and behaviour and consider how they can be revolutionised to usher in a new and more balanced way of living. The Mayan Prophecies presents 21 predictions based on original Mayan texts, each fully explained and beautifully illustrated. From the prophecy of energy release at the 26,000-year galactic syncronisation climax to the possibility that humankind itself may be the living prophecy of which all the prophecies speak, the urgent message is not cataclysm but challenge. The book's starting-point is a detailed overview of Mayan science, belief and ritual. We learn how the Mayans saw their own time and the time to come. Their astronomical understanding was highly advanced: they were the only civilisation in antiquity to know that the morning star and the evening star were one and the same (Venus). This book takes us right to the heart of the Mayan world-view and shows how it can be seen as the foundation-stone for a new way of thinking about our planet, our survival and our wellbeing.

About the Author Gerald Benedict is an expert in comparative religious philosophy and the author ofThe Mayan Prophecies for 2012 (Watkins, 2008).

Key Sales Points Presents and explains 21 key prophecies, each accompanied by a superb, specially commissioned illustration based on Mayan art.
