New York



Edward Rutherfurd
Publisher: Doubleday & Co. Inc. Div Random House, November 10, 2009
Review: From bestselling author Edward Rutherfurd comes a brilliant work of historical fiction that traces the story of New York from its founding to today. A masterful blend of painstaking research and page-turning action, this multigenerational tale follows the intertwined fates of characters rich and poor, black and white, native and immigrant as they helped the city grow from a small but important Dutch colony into the world’s greatest metropolis.
Treating us to front-row views of the chaos of the Revolutionary War, the slave riots of the 19th century, the excesses of the Gilded Age, the trials of World War II, the pain of 9/11 and more, this is an epoch in the finest sense of the word. New York will leave you breathless.

A Glorious Army



Jeffry Wert
Publisher: Simon & Schuster, April 19, 2011
Review: Review by William C. Davis
Was there ever such an army in America or anywhere else? The victories of the Army of Northern Virginia in the year from June 1862 through May 1863, most of them against superior numbers, are among the most storied in all of military history. The characters who emerged from those ranks that year to take places in the pantheon of military greats is unparalleled in any other conflict: Thomas J. “Stonewall” Jackson, A. P. Hill, James Longstreet, John Bell Hood, John Pelham and, of course, Robert E. Lee. In victory after victory, from the Seven Days, through Second Manassas, Cedar Mountain, Antietam [a Confederate victory on the field, though not the campaign], Fredericksburg and, above all, Chancellorsville, Lee and his army took the battle to their enemies and beat them. No wonder that in May 1863, after Chancellorsville, Lee told Hood that “there never were such men in an army before.” To him as to the Confederacy, they had become all but invincible gods of war.
The story of that year in the life of this army has often been told before in works treating of its entire history. But the army of June 1862-July 1863 was a very different body of men from the army of 1863-1865. Jeffry D. Wert, author of a dozen acclaimed works on the Civil War, takes a discrete look just at that year—14 months actually—in his newest book A Glorious Army: Robert E. Lee's Triumph, 1862-1863. His goal is not to rehash tactics and movements afresh, for all of the engagements of that period have been the objects of multiple fine studies in their own right.
Rather, Wert examines the overall planning and strategy that governed Lee’s mindset, the development of his leadership, and the growing acquaintance and mutual confidence between the commander and the army that he took over virtually in the midst of battle. Using primarily letters and diaries of the commanders and their men, his aim is to provide the viewpoint of the moment rather than the backward recollection of later years. Wert’s judgments on men and moments are good, often provoking, and always interesting. For instance, James Longstreet, the commander of the I Corps, has been the focus of controversy for 150 years, and Wert sides solidly with him, as would be expected since Wert himself wrote the finest biography of Longstreet.
Lee emerges over all, of course, as he always does, and Wert neatly encapsulates what must always be the conclusion of those who study the man and his first year in command when he says: “Lee and the Army of Northern Virginia recast the war’s direction.” More than that, perhaps, Lee and his army recast the nature of 19th-century warfare itself. For all who study the great gray chieftain, A Glorious Army will reinforce old admiration and stimulate new appreciation.

As the era of print gives way to the Internet age, this all-too human crew stumbles towards an uncertain future.

Empire: The Novel of Imperial Rome



Steven Saylor
Publisher: St. Martin's Press Inc., August 31, 2010
Review: In Empire, Steven Saylor continues the saga he began in his New York Times bestselling novel Roma, chronicling the story of Rome from its first steps as an empire to its height under Marcus Aurelius. A sweeping epic in the tradition of James Michener, this stirring novel focuses on the travails of the Pinarius family as—through the generations—they witness the reign of Augustus, the machinations of Tiberius, the madness of Caligula, the excesses of Nero and the golden age of Hadrian. Filled with the defining moments of the age, including the Great Fire, the persecution of the Christians and the spectacles at the Colosseum, this is historical fiction on a grand scale. It brings the ancient world to life as never before.

The Disappearance



Bentley Little
Publisher: Nal Signet, Div Of Penguin Putnam, September 07, 2010
Review: Although he and his girlfriend haven’t been dating long, Gary Russell is confident that what they have is real. So why would Joan take off? Almost as troubling, the university has no record she exists, calls to her parents, who she described as devout, go unanswered—and the police are looking at Gary with suspicion. Too bad they haven’t noticed the strange-looking men dressed like farmers from another era, lurking in the shadows, waiting to make their move….
Throughout The Disappearance, horror maestro Bentley Little hits pitch-perfect chills, especially when several members of a bizarre cult known as the Homesteaders accost Gary. But threatening as they are, nothing prepares him for their Father…or the “children” of the flock.

Remembering Survival


Inside a Nazi Slave-Labor Camp
Christopher R. Browning
Publisher: W.W. Norton & Co. Inc., January 01, 2010
Review: Review by Gerhard L. Weinberg
In recent decades, there have been many works illuminating the world of concentration camps and extermination facilities established by the Nazi government before and during World War II. There is also a literature covering the employment of forced laborers in German industry and agriculture. What has been largely missing from our view is what might be called an intermediate station in the Holocaust: the slave-labor camps into which Jews were pushed to aid the German war effort before they either died there or were killed in such operations as the “Erntefest”—harvest festival—slaughter of November 1943. As a result of essentially accidental developments, carefully described by the author, there was a substantial number of survivors of one slave-labor camp in German-occupied Poland. The 292 survivors of the inhabitants of the community of Wierzbnik forced into the Starachowice slave-labor camp provided testimony after the war, and some of them gave personal documents and interviews to the exceedingly careful as well as persistent author.
In a smoothly written account, the reader is provided an introduction to the community of the future slave laborers. The beginnings of German occupation are characterized by arbitrary violence and looting alongside a calculated program of humiliation. A Jewish Council is created and attempts to protect the community in the face of occupiers who vary from extreme brutality to sympathetic actions. After a period of great difficulties and increasing knowledge of the German program of systematic killing, all changes in the fall of 1942. Already people had tried for assignment to essential work and to hide their children; on October 27 there is the murder of about four thousand and the assignment to slave labor of some 1,600 Jews. However dreadful this event certainly was, the proportion kept alive to work was unusually high by the standards of the time.
From this point on we are offered a balanced account of what actually happened in the camp where the survivors of the mass killing were put to work. The more or less brutal German commanders, the more or less helpful Jewish individuals in privileged positions, the very varied Ukrainian guards, the usually hostile but occasionally helpful Poles, and the endless brutalities pass before the reader’s eyes. We see the daily struggles and problems, the differences among the Jews, attempts at flight and resistance, and details on usually hidden subjects like childbirth and abortion, rape and bribery.
When the approaching Red Army forced evacuation, the workers were sent to Auschwitz. Because there was no selection for the gas chambers when the transport entered, an unusual proportion of them survived. Again we see in a specific case what happens afterwards: any who return home are killed or chased out by the local Poles while the postwar trials of German perpetrators add up to very little. It is a sad story, but it is an important one, and well told in a book that opens a window into a world hitherto difficult to penetrate.

The Wishing Year


An Experiment in Desire
Noelle Oxenhandler
Publisher: Random House, July 08, 2008
Review: From The Wishing Year
It’s New Year’s Day: bright and cold, with wind moving through the tops of the eucalyptus trees and silver clouds gathering in the distance. Beside me on the table are the remains of last night’s rather quiet celebration: in a glass bowl, four walnut sailboats float on water, their mission accomplished. Bobbing in a small sea of varying good fortunes, each made its way to one particular rolled-up paper message, tied with a gold ribbon. Mine read: ‘This year you will make a remarkable voyage to a place you’ve never been.
Fortunes, oracles, signs, and omens: don’t they belong to the same family as the wish? They all spring from that great human need to gain some purchase on the future—if not actually to alter its course, then at least to see into its shape, discern its contours, its pattern of light and dark.
Already, in that one small word, so much is gathered: desire, danger, seeking. It seems in itself a kind of omen for the ‘remarkable voyage’ I’m about to embark on. But let me begin by laying my cards on the table, alongside the glass bowl with its four walnut boats.
Like most people I know, I have a long list of wishes for the world around me. However, when it comes to things on the cosmic scale— things as immense and complex as ending war, hunger, poverty, disease, and the destruction of the natural environment—I don’t yet have much faith in the power of wishing. Perhaps such faith will emerge as I move forward, but for now I need to focus on a smaller scale. Using my own life as a petri dish, I’m going to start with the two wishes at the top of my personal list.
One is to be spiritually healed. The second is to buy a house.
Is it crazy, a kind of blasphemy even, to set these two cards alongside each other, as though they belong to the same deck?

Edgar Rice Burroughs' John Carter of Mars


The Jesse Marsh Years

Review: Four-armed warriors and eight-legged thoats! Giant white apes and flesh-eating plant men! Crumbling cities and anti-gravity fliers! All these wonders and more return to entertain a new generation of readers—and delight long-time fans—in Edgar Rice Burroughs’ John Carter of Mars.

Review: A woman on the run—with more to live for than she imagined—collides with a danger more lethal than she feared in Ruthless Game, the white-hot GhostWalker scorcher by #1 New York Times bestselling author Christine Feehan!
GhostWalker Kane Cannon is pure male—animalistic, sexual, protective, instinctive—and his past missions have prepared him for anything. Or so he thought. His newest assignment, to rescue hostages in Mexico, plunges him into a danger zone more personal than he anticipated: the seductive arms of Rose Patterson. A hunted fugitive, an ex-lover, and a fellow GhostWalker, she’s also a woman on a mission, determined to do anything to save the life of her unborn child. Kane’s child.
For Rose, Kane’s appearance is both a blessing and a curse. Still haunted by the insidious experiments that shattered her world, she’s also being pursued by a madman who’d do anything to take her child. Of all the GhostWalkers enlisted to hunt her down, Kane is the only one she can trust, but will his presence spell her doom? As their passion heats up, so does the danger, and with the stakes at an all-time high, they’re about to face the most difficult challenge of all: staying together…and staying alive.

The Last Gunfight


The Real Story of the Shootout at the O.K. Corral—And How It Changed the American West
Jeff Guinn
Publisher: Simon & Schuster, May 17, 2011
Review: On October 26, 1881, a confrontation between eight men in Tombstone, Arizona, erupted in gunfire. The Earp brothers and Doc Holliday faced off against Billy Clanton and Tom and Frank McLaury. When it was over, three men were dead and two were wounded. The shootout lasted just 30 seconds but profoundly impacted the way Americans viewed the Old West. The Gunfight at the O.K. Corral, as the event came to be known, is often viewed as the defining battle between frontier forces of good and evil.
As award-winning author Jeff Guinn shows in The Last Gunfight, many of the facts surrounding the event have been misinterpreted or are simply incorrect. For example, the shootout occurred not in the O.K. Corral but in a vacant lot several doors down. Popular legend holds that “the cowboys”—Billy Clanton and Tom and Frank McLaury—fired first. But did the Earps truly act in self-defense?
Drawing from a cache of new material—including diaries, letters and Wyatt Earp's own hand-drawn sketch of the shootout—Guinn examines what happened on that day in Tombstone. He also paints a vivid picture of what the West was really like. More than a showdown between good guys and bad guys, the gunfight was symbolic of a clash between evolving social, political and economic forces. At the time, a loosely knit band of desperados, collectively known as cowboys, were causing tensions and threatening the peace in Tombstone.
The cowboys robbed stagecoaches and rustled livestock. In exchange for a cut of the profits, ranchers like the Clantons and McLaurys willingly grazed the stolen cattle on their land until it was ready for sale. “In Wyatt’s real West, anyone referred to as a cowboy was most likely a criminal,” explains Guinn. It was Hollywood that later romanticized the term, using it to describe hardworking ranch hands and those who rode horses and fought to uphold justice.
In Tombstone, opposing opinions about the cowboys intensified an already bitter political feud over government intervention in territorial and local issues. The rugged individualists, independent ranchers and cowboys wanted less intervention, while the wealthy miners and well-heeled townsfolk wanted more. The town’s rival newspapers fed the flames. The Nugget claimed the cowboys' transgressions were exaggerated. Taking the opposite view, The Republic Epitaph declared the cowboys a menace to local safety and Tombstone’s reputation. Simmering tensions over the issue led to the history-making deadly confrontation.
Guinn separates the facts from the fiction and places the gunfight in the context of its times. Combining masterful storytelling, fresh research and memorable characters, The Last Gunfight illuminates the Wild West's iconic shootout.

Einstein's God


Conversations About Science and the Human Spirit
Krista Tippett
Publisher: Penguin Group (USA), February 23, 2010
Review: Albert Einstein was such an extraordinary thinker, he managed to assemble a worldview that included the spiritual alongside the scientific. With quotes to illustrate his views, and with a look at how spirituality can be grasped (and valued) by modern science, Einstein’s God by Krista Tippett examines parallels between long-standing systems of belief and more contemporary views. Every chapter offers terrific strategies for gaining insights from both the old and the new and demonstrates how spirituality really has nothing to do with the supernatural at the end of the day. In this book, Einstein’s idiosyncratic take on the universe proves to be an exceptional tool for accessing one’s own sense of the spirit!

Michael Palmer
Publisher: St. Martin's Press, Llc, January 29, 2009
Review: In The Second Opinion, Michael Palmer checks readers into a medical facility where it pays to question everything…for the alternative might cost you your life.
Dr. Thea Sperelakis has always been an outsider. A brilliant physician with Asperger’s syndrome, her difficulty in dealing with the pressure-cooker medicine and money-driven politics of a major academic hospital led her to go to work for the poor, besieged patients of Doctors Without Borders. It was a decision that deeply disappointed her powerful father, Petros, one of the world’s premier internal medicine specialists and founder of the cutting-edge Sperelakis Center for Diagnostic Medicine at Boston’s ultramodern Beaumont Clinic.
Now Petros has been severely injured by a hit-and-run driver and left in a deep coma. No one at the Beaumont ICU thinks he will survive, and Thea must return home to battle two of her siblings, both physicians, who demand that treatment for their father be withheld.
As Thea uncovers the facts surrounding the incident, it seems more and more to be no accident. Who would want Petros dead? The answers are trapped in his brain…until he sees Thea and begins to blink a terrifying message.

The American Presidents Series

Review: Jimmy Carter rose to national power through mastering the strategy of the maverick politician. But running as an outsider was easier than governing as one, as historian Julian E. Zelizer shows in this examination of Carter’s presidency.
Once in power, Carter faced challenges sustaining a strong political coalition—and by 1980, he stood alone in the Oval Office as he confronted a battered economy, soaring oil prices, American hostages in Iran and the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan.
Carter’s unpopularity enabled Ronald Reagan to achieve a landslide victory, but during Carter’s post-presidential career, he has emerged as an important voice for international diplomacy and negotiation, remaking his image as a statesman for our time.

Review: Settling into her great-aunt Jeep’s ranch outside Reno, Nevada, with her wire-haired dachshund, Baxter, and Jeep’s German shepherd, King, former Wall Street trader Mags Rogers doesn’t miss the cutthroat world of investment banking—because it has reached far west to the Silver State. In many neighborhoods, the foreclosure crisis has left rows of homes sitting unsold and abandoned—but not empty.
A group of squatters, including desperate single mothers with children, are living under the radar in these houses—without water or electricity. Big-hearted real estate broker Babs Gallagher enlists Jeep and Mags to start a community outreach program, but that means going up against uncaring utility companies, corrupt officials, ruthless politicians…and a merciless killer.
When a former banker is found brutally slain in one of the homes, Mags’s unofficial beau Deputy Pete Meadows uncovers evidence of shady dealings—and rumors of lost treasure—in Red Rock Valley. Murder Unleashed—Rita Mae Brown’s scintillating sequel to A Nose for Justice—really takes off as canine sleuths Baxter and King help their human charges untangle the case. Luckily, Mags, Jeep and Babs still have a few tricks up their sleeves.

Hope Rekindled (Large Print)

Review: Tracie Peterson’s Hope Rekindled is a compelling tale of faith, forgiveness and the power of God’s grace.

Daddy Hug



Tim Warnes
Publisher: Harper Collins Childrens Bks., May 01, 2008
Review: No two daddies are the same. One might be strong while the other is fluffy; one might chirp while the other goes buzz; one might be outgoing while the other is quiet and thoughtful. But what do all daddies have in common? They make us feel safe and warm with big, snuggly daddy hugs. They love us no matter what. And they each love us in their own special way. And we love them, too!
Reading a good book with dad is always fun—especially when the book is about the love a father shares with his child. No matter what kind of hugs you like best, this is the perfect book for daddies to read with—and bond with—their little ones. It celebrates our differences by showing that how we hug isn’t really as important as why we hug. (Ages 2-4)

Publisher: Harper Collins Publishers, March 29, 2011
Review: You may think of them as the inscrutable letters of the periodic table, but there’s more to the chemical elements than meets the eye.

Here you’ll meet iron that rains from the heavens and noble gases that light the way to vice; learn how lead can tell your future; and discover what connects the glow of a streetlamp with the salt on your dinner table. Unlocking a world profoundly rich in meaning, Periodic Tales harnesses the power of compelling narrative to celebrate the scientific table that organizes the material world.

The Saturday Big Tent Wedding Party



Alexander McCall Smith
Publisher: Pantheon Books Inc./Random House, March 22, 2011
Review: The 12th installment in Alexander McCall Smith’s beloved No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency series, The Saturday Big Tent Wedding Party is a welcome return to Botswana and the gentle wisdom of Precious Ramotswe and friends.
Will Precious get her beloved white van back? Was Grace Makutsi’s exceptional 97 percent score on the Botswana Secretarial College exam a mistake? And is Grace finally going to marry fiance Phuti Radiphuti?
When Precious dreams of her dear old white van, and later discovers that it’s actually still in use (and, of course, sets out to retrieve it), it makes Grace wonder whether her own nightmare—that her famously excellent exam scores were a mistake—might come true as well. They can only wait and see, but in the meantime, other problems are brewing, as Precious is asked to investigate a tricky case of cattle poisoning. Add to the mix Violet Sephotho’s newly begun run for the Botswana Parliament and the possibility that wedding bells may finally ring for Grace and Phuti Radiphuti—whose love for each other is as great as their love for Botswana—and you’re in for another delightful tale filled with wit, compassion and the goodness of the human heart.

Regan Reilly Mysteries
Carol Higgins Clark
Publisher: Scribner/Simon & Schuster, April 07, 2009
Review: Cursed, Carol Higgins Clark’s latest Regan Reilly mystery, opens on a wintry morning on Long Island. As Regan dumps a trunk full of her old L.A. case files into a storage unit, her cell phone rings. It’s Abigail Feeney, a former neighbor who believes her life has been cursed since birth, calling with a frantic request.
Can Regan come to L.A. and help her track down her ex-boyfriend—the “no-good bum” who disappeared without repaying the $100K he owes her? He’s been spotted in town, and Abbie desperately needs the money. Regan remembers the “no-good bum:” He’s Cody Castle, and he used to hang around the pool at their apartment complex, text messaging nonstop. She never liked him.
If Regan weren’t freezing, she might have made an excuse, but her husband, Jack, is away at a seminar, and Abbie was kind to her when she had the flu last winter. Within hours Regan is back in Los Angeles where her investigation keeps her racing from the beaches of Malibu to the mountains north of the city to the renovated lofts of downtown L.A. Soon she begins to feel as if Abigail’s curse is catching, as she encounters a cast of characters who are downright dangerous…and one who’s the most dangerous of all.

The Collegium Chronicles, Book 1
Mercedes Lackey
Publisher: Daw Books, Inc., October 01, 2008
Review: Mercedes Lackey, author of numerous fantasy novels and works of short fiction, returns to the early history of the world she’s best known for with this long-awaited new novel in the bestselling Heralds of Valdemar series.
After his bandit parents were killed by the Royal Guard, the child who came to be called Magpie was taken in by the owner of the local gem mine. But the master was no benevolent soul: when Mags was old enough, he was put to work with other dirty, ragged and half-starved children, trudging into the mines to tunnel for hours in the dark and cold. Only his unusual skill at finding precious gems—and his ability to hear what others are thinking—helped him survive.
Life at the mines is brutal, but for 13 years, it’s the only one he knows…until the day a Herald arrives and takes him away. At first bewildered and terrified, Mags learns what joy is when he’s Chosen by Dallen, one of Valdemar’s magical Companion horses, to be trained as a Herald. Thrust into a life beyond his wildest imaginings, Magpie discovers talents he never knew he had—and witnesses the founding of the great Heralds’ Collegium. But all is not well, for something dark and dangerous is haunting his dreams….

There Will Be Rainbows


A Biography of Rufus Wainwright
Kirk Lake
Publisher: Harper Collins Pub., Inc., August 01, 2010
Review: Rufus Wainwright’s music is such an effortless blend of left-field innovation and superb songwriting that it becomes difficult to compare him to any other performer working today. In Kirk Lake’s insightful biography, There Will Be Rainbows, we’re invited deeper into a life that has been lived almost entirely in the public eye.
Wainwright embodies the three basic tenets of rock stardom—inside, we have ample evidence of raucous sex, unscrupulous drug abuse and more than enough rock ’n’ roll. As Kirk works to explain Wainwright’s place in the great pop pantheon, a more nuanced and unique story emerges, touching upon everything from the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood to opera, gay liberation, Canadian folk, neo-Conservatism and even Hollywood musicals. An ordinary career trajectory this is not.
We follow Wainwright's journey from Van Dyke Parks to rehab to Carnegie Hall, and along the way, we’re treated to commentary by the myriad entertainers who have crossed his path. We’re also privy to Wainwright’s self-deprecating humor and revered flamboyance—just two of the qualities that make him such an endlessly endearing character. This intelligent piece of music writing befits the artist’s life and work.

The Walking Dead: Rise of the Governor


Book 1 of the Governor Trilogy
Robert Kirkman
Publisher: Tor Books, October 11, 2011
Review: As if flesh-chomping zombies weren’t bad enough, The Walking Dead universe is rife with roving bands of survivors, all seeking safe haven. Some are led by villains of the roughest kind. But there is no greater villain than the despot who runs the walled-off town of Woodbury—The Governor.
Brutal and malevolent, the Governor has his own sick sense of justice: whether it’s forcing prisoners to battle zombies in the arena for the townspeople’s amusement, or chopping off the appendages of those who cross him.
The year he debuted, the Governor was voted “Villain of the Year” by Wizard magazine, and his story line was the most controversial in the history of The Walking Dead comic book series. Now, for the first time, fans will discover how The Governor became the man he is, and what drove him to such extremes.
Written by Robert Kirkman, co-creator of the New York Times bestselling comic books and executive producer and writer on the record-breaking Walking Dead television show, and acclaimed horror novelist Jay Bonansinga, The Walking Dead: Rise of the Governor is the debut novel in an original three-book story arc—a splatter-punk tale of pure horror, as zombie fiction was meant to be.

Slavery's Constitution


From Revolution to Ratification
David Waldstreicher
Publisher: Hill & Wang, June 23, 2009
Review: The Constitution never directly mentions slavery; the word itself does not appear. And yet of the Constitution’s 84 clauses, six are directly concerned with slaves and their owners, and five others had implications for slavery that were considered and debated by the delegates to the 1787 Constitutional Convention and the citizens of the states during ratification. In Slavery’s Constitution, historian David Waldstreicher examines the effects of the slavery issue on the Revolution itself, on the framing of the Constitution and on the public ratification debate that followed.
Waldstreicher begins by exploring the role the politics of slavery played in the Revolution, explaining how the ruling of the English court in the famous case of the escaped Virginia slave James Somerset—a ruling narrowly in favor of the slave’s personal rights under the British constitution—made it clear to American slaveholders that they had as much to fear from English parliamentary sovereignty as tax-protesting American merchants did. With antislavery and American subjection going hand in hand, slavery itself propelled wealthy American planters toward revolution.
He then looks at how the framers discussed, bargained and agonized over slavery during the Constitutional Convention of 1787 and shows how the compromises they reached welded together two dimensions of the politics of slavery: slavery as a form of governance over certain people, and slavery as an economic institution.
Waldstreicher also examines clause by clause how the Constitution took slavery into account, including the famous three-fifths clause that apportioned representatives and direct taxes by adding the whole number of free persons to three-fifths of “all other persons.” Those “other persons” were, of course, slaves, and Waldstreicher notes that this apportionment actually favored people who owned other people, giving slaveholders that much more control over the three-fifths more taxes they would pay. “In the new American order,” he observes, “taxation with representation and slavery were joined at the hip.
Finally, Waldstreicher outlines the debate to ratify the Constitution, and analyzes the appearance of slavery in The Federalist Papers. During ratification strikingly few people in the Deep South criticized the Constitution for being insufficiently pro-slavery, and Waldstreicher observes that the relative absence of debate on the topic in North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia speaks volumes: the dominant planter classes were satisfied by what the Convention had produced.
In making the case that slavery was as important to the making of the Constitution as the Constitution was to the survival of slavery, Slavery’s Constitution is a provocative reassessment of the birth of our nation.

Fire and Fury


The Allied Bombing of Germany, 1942-1945
Randell Hansen
Publisher: New American Library, July 01, 2009
Review: During WWII, Allied aircraft dropped nearly two million tons of bombs on Germany, utterly destroying some 60 cities and severely damaging a hundred more. The medieval centers of Frankfurt, Ulm, Aachen, Wurzburg, Cologne and Nuremberg were simply wiped off the face of the earth; well over a thousand churches and museums were burned to the ground; and 20 million books were incinerated. A millennium’s worth of Europe’s finest architecture and culture was annihilated—and more than a half a million civilians were killed.
Now in Fire and Fury, acclaimed historian Randall Hansen tells the story of these devastating—and controversial—bombing campaigns through the eyes of those involved: the commanders, the aircrews in the sky and the civilians on the ground.
Who or what should be the target of Allied bombing was the subject of debate at the time, and Hansen explains how while the Americans were committed to the precision bombing of military and industrial targets, the British Allies were carpet-bombing heavily populated cities. Hansen reviews the arguments for each approach and explores in depth the crucial role played by British Commander-in-Chief of Bomber Command, Sir Arthur “Bomber” Harris, a fierce advocate of the fire-bombing of cities who argued vehemently against and even disregarded instructions from his superiors to shift the focus of his raids to noncivilian targets.
Hansen also describes the attacks on German cities in vivid, harrowing detail, including the infamous February 1945 firebombing of Dresden and the even more destructive July 1943 attack on Hamburg, which in a matter of days destroyed more than 40,000 buildings, including 60 percent of Hamburg’s residential accommodation, killed 42,000 people, and forced another million people to flee the city.
Hansen explains how, by the end of the war, Harris had made the complete obliteration of German cities an end in itself, one that increasingly appeared to be nothing more than indiscriminate slaughter. And Hansen argues that Harris’ strategy may have actually prolonged the war by diverting resources from crucial attacks on industrial targets and delaying the obliteration of the German fighter force, a key objective that was ultimately accomplished by the Americans, who Hansen argues “bombed better, with greater results and lower loss of life, both civilian and military.
Drawing on a wide range of sources, including archives, personal interviews with German civilians and memoirs of the key characters involved—most notably Nazi Armaments Minister Albert Speer—Fire and Fury deftly combines detailed history with insightful, provocative analysis. The result is an unflinching examination of the horrors of war and of the rationalizations that make such horrors possible.

Review: George Dawes Green—the New York Times bestselling author of The Caveman’s Valentine and The Juror—returns with Ravens, a riveting work of psychological suspense that’s at once frightening, comic and utterly spellbinding.
When Shaw McBridge and Romeo Zderko pull up at a convenience store, they’re only planning to quickly fix up a leaky tire and then be on their way to Florida, far from the reality of their dull Ohio tech-support jobs. However, as fate would have it, the winning $318,000,000 jackpot ticket was just purchased by a local family at that very store. Shaw hatches an audacious scheme when a gullible clerk reveals to him the identity of the winners: He and Romeo are going to find the family and then squeeze them for half their prize.
That evening, Shaw visits their home, taking them hostage while the sinister Romeo patrols the streets nearby, ready to kill at the first sign of resistance. At first, the family offers none. But Shaw’s plan depends on maintaining constant fear—merciless, unfaltering terror—and soon, under the pressure, everyone’s sanity begins to unravel
This is an utterly compelling novel from a true master of suspense.

Meanwhile, less than a week after Dom gets out of the slammer, shadowy figures are breaking into Joe Morelli’s house. Plus, he’s getting threatening messages—and now Dom’s gone missing.

Robopocalypse



Daniel H. Wilson

Review: It starts with isolated incidents. Sporadic glitches noticed by a handful of unconnected humans. A single mother disconcerted by her daughter’s menacing “smart” toys. A lonely Japanese bachelor victimized by his domestic robot companion. A solitary U.S. soldier who witnesses a “pacification unit” go haywire. But most are unaware of the robot uprising until it is too late.
Taking the persona of a shy human boy, a massively powerful artificial intelligence known as Archos comes online and assumes control over the global network of machines that runs our world—everything from transportation and utilities to defense and communication. When the Robot War erupts—when all our dazzling technology links up and turns against us—humankind will be both decimated and, possibly, for the first time in history, united.
Well-known robotics engineer Daniel H. Wilson (How to Survive a Robot Uprising) brings us an action-filled apocalypse out of our wildest nightmares. Brilliantly conceived and soon to be a major motion picture directed by DreamWorks, Robopocalypse is a terrifying story with heart-stopping implications for the real technology all around us—an entertaining thriller unlike any written in years.

Conscience


Two Soldiers, Two Pacifists, One Family—A Test of Will and Faith in World War I
Louisa Thomas
Publisher: Penguin Putnam, Inc., June 02, 2011
Review: When the United States entered World War I, it hit the Thomas brothers with particular poignancy. Sons of a Presbyterian minister, they were bred for a life of service, but their calls to conscience threatened to tear them apart because each interpreted the call in a different way.
For two, it meant enlistment. Ralph joined up right away, heeding the call to fight for freedom. A captain in the Army Corps of Engineers, he was ultimately wounded in France. Arthur was less certain about the righteousness of the cause, but sensitive to his obligation as a citizen.
The other two became pacifists, convinced that an ethical society could not emerge from the inferno of battle. Evan, a conscientious objector, protested against the draft and was eventually sentenced to solitary confinement. Norman left his ministry in East Harlem and started on the course he would follow for the rest of his life, fighting for civil liberties and social justice for all.
Conscience, by Louisa Thomas, chronicles the lives of the brothers as they each fought for what they believed in their own way. It’s a gripping story of one family and its struggle to do what’s right—whatever that may be—in a time of great uncertainty.

Naamah's Kiss



Jacqueline Carey
Publisher: Hachette Book Group USA, June 24, 2009
Review: In Naamah’s Kiss, bestselling author Jacqueline Carey introduces a heroine who is quite the opposite—in all ways but sensuality—of Phedre no Delaunay.
A child of the Maghuin Dhonn, the oldest tribe in Alba, Moirin possesses small gifts of magic, like the ability to conceal herself in twilight and to coax plants to grow. But she is also a child of golden Terre d’Ange: the blood of Queen Sidonie flows in her veins, and her father, a D’Angeline priest, served Naamah, the mysterious goddess of desire—one of the unfamiliar gods who have visited Moirin’s dreams ever since childhood. Raised in the wilderness by her reclusive mother, Moirin does not know the significance of the bright lady, or the man with a seedling sprouting from his palm.

Fatal Journey


The Final Expedition of Henry Hudson
Peter C. Mancall
Publisher: Basic Books Inc., June 22, 2009
Review: Review by Geoffrey Wawro
Henry Hudson was one of the great Elizabethan navigators. In his roving spirit was all the energy of an ambitious, newly Protestant England determined to break the power of Europe’s Catholic states and cut away the overseas empires and riches of Spain and Portugal.
For the rising maritime powers, the great prizes lay in the Americas (gold, silver, fish and furs) and East Asia (spices, gems, tea and silk). North America was easy enough to reach from European ports, but Asia and the Pacific Coast of South America required dangerous, long voyages around the southern tip of Africa or South America. To cut the travel time and dangers, every explorer and trading company yearned for a “Northwest Passage,” an ice-free route through North America, past the North Pole, and into Asian waters.
Henry Hudson was a good businessman with ties to the British and Dutch East India Companies, which dispatched him on three expeditions between 1607 and 1609 to find the short route to Asia. Hudson tried first for the Northwest Passage (over Canada to Asia), then the Northeast Passage (over Russia to Asia), then the Northeast Passage again. In each of his first three voyages, Hudson showed bravery and resourcefulness. Frustrated on the third voyage, he sailed on his own initiative back to the west, across the Atlantic, into New York harbor, and up the river that now bears his name. In the mighty Hudson River, Hudson thought that he had found the Northwest Passage. He hadn’t.
Peter Mancall’s lively book details Hudson’s fourth and last voyage of exploration. Sailing out of the Thames in Discovery, Hudson confidently predicted that he would be in Java collecting cloves, cinnamon and nutmeg the following summer. The crew sailed past Iceland and Greenland, through the Labrador Sea, and entered what an awe-struck Hudson described as “a spacious sea,” today’s Hudson Bay. There, when winter set in, the voyage broke down. Hudson was never a particularly good leader or manager of men, nor did he deal diplomatically with the natives he encountered along his routes of exploration. In Hudson Bay, the scurvy crew ran low on supplies, took to eating grass, fish and birds, and began to lose heart.
Hudson desperately wanted to find the Northwest Passage and crown his career, and the crew desperately wanted to turn about and flee back to England before they froze, starved or were murdered by the local Indians. Hudson felt certain that Hudson Bay was the mouth of a broad passage to the Pacific. Overpowered by his own frightened crew, Hudson, his son John and eight loyal crewmen were dumped in a rowboat and left behind to die, as the Discovery beat its way back to England.
Mancall has recreated the voyage of discovery, the shipboard fights and politics, Hudson’s abandonment and the aftermath, when the mutinous crew defended their actions in London and Hudson clung to life in the frozen wilderness of Hudson Bay, hoping for a miracle.

The Hidden Reality


Parallel Universes and the Deep Laws of the Cosmos
Brian Greene
Publisher: Alfred A. Knopf, Inc./Random House, November 01, 2011
Review: In recent decades, various theorists have concluded that our universe is actually just one among many. In The Hidden Reality, renowned physicist and bestselling author Brian Greene explores this tantalizing idea.
Greene explores a range of “multiverse” proposals: one that features an infinite number of doppelgangers; one comprising a vast ocean of bubble universes; one that endlessly cycles through time, or one that might be hovering millimeters away yet remains invisible; another in which every possibility allowed by quantum physics is brought to life. Or, perhaps strangest of all, a multiverse made purely of math.
The Hidden Reality summons the mind-expanding possibility that the cosmos we know is just one in a vast ensemble.
