A financial insider tells the story of the greatest investment scandal of all time In December 2008, with financial crisis sweeping America and the globe, Bernard “Bernie” Madoff, a leading Wall Street figure and former chairman of the NASDAQ Stock Market, dropped a bombshell: For years he’d bilked thousands of investors worldwide to the tune of $50 billion. Overnight, the term “Ponzi scheme”—a fraudulent investment strategy that pays returns to early investors with money invested later by others—became synonymous with Madoff’s name. In the first comprehensive account of this epic scandal, Peter Sander traces Madoff’s rise from unremarkable Jewish schoolboy to Wall Street trader, from money maker to money manager. His gripping narrative examines how Madoff built his brand, how he infiltrated influential circles, and how the scheme came unraveled. And he shows how Madoff—whose arrest has been called “fodder” for anti-Semites—ironically wreaked grievous damage to Jewish organizations. Sander asks: How did Madoff convince so many sophisticated investors to part with their fortunes without asking questions? How did he elude regulators for years? How will this change Wall Street, and how can we, as prudent investors and citizens, avoid such a debacle? Peter Sander is a personal finance author, researcher, and consultant. His eighteen books include 573 Ways to Save Money (with Jennifer Sander; see p. 83), The 250 Personal Finance Questions Everyone Should Ask, and The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Day Trading Like a Pro. He has developed more than 200 personal finance columns for MarketWatch and TheStreet.com, and has appeared on NBC Today, CNNfn, and Fox News. He lives in Granite Bay, California.

The gripping story of the U.S. immigration officer who changed history

September 11, 2001. Almost everything seemed to go as the terrorists intended. Almost. Flight 93—which crashed not on the Capitol or the White House, but in a Pennsylvania field—was one terrorist shy of the other flights. The brave Americans who rose up that day against the hijackers were aided by a man they never met and whose story has never been written. His name is Jose Melendez-Perez. This book tells his story. As Michael Smerconish recounts in riveting detail in The Fifth Hijacker, more than a month earlier a young Saudi national had arrived at Orlando International Airport on a flight from London. He didn’t speak English, and his customs paperwork was blank except for his name: Mohamed al-Kahtani. He had a one-way ticket. Soon, INS agent Melendez-Perez was called to the scene. To others, al-Kahtani seemed like a befuddled tourist eager to see Disney World. At risk to his job for the appearance of racial profiling, MelendezPerez—drawing on his training and his instinct—sent al-Kahtani packing back to Dubai. Melendez-Perez changed history that day. But he is not alone. In addition to telling his story and that of alKahtani—who was later captured in Afghanistan and sent to Guantanamo Bay—The Fifth Hijacker examines the quick thinking of other Americans who faced fanatics; for example, the Washington State border inspector whose gut told her something wasn’t right about the would-be millennium bomber. Smerconish further looks at the latest technologies that complement a border inspector’s instincts. And he poses tough questions to experts from the CIA and Homeland Security. Most pointedly: Have we learned from the example of Jose Melendez-Perez? In 2009 the Obama administration will be reviewing the prospects of prosecuting al-Kahtani and other Guantanamo detainees effectively in federal courts; military charges against al-Kahtani were previously dropped out of concern that parts of his interrogation met the legal definition of torture. The White House has pledged to close Guantanamo by January 2010—so major announcements regarding the prosecution and transferal of detainees are expected in the final months of 2009.

An insider’s account of why the CIA is ill-prepared to protect America, and why it must be replaced without delay Once upon a time, the CIA took the risks necessary to protect America. “If you fall,” went its mantra, “fall forward.” In Beyond Repair, one of the agency’s most respected former operatives mounts a scathing critique of the preparedness of today’s CIA—and, specifically, the Directorate of Operations at its core—to defend America against the dizzying dangers of the twenty-first century. In a compelling blend of analysis and fascinating true-life stories, Charles S. Faddis argues that the CIA has devolved into a low-risk or, often, no-risk bureaucracy of careerists whose mantra might be summed up thus: “Don’t fall.” “Every senior officer I know in the CIA carries personal liability insurance,” writes Faddis, “because of the fear of being sued for actions taken in the line of duty.” And, he notes, no operatives who commanded CIA teams in Afghanistan have been promoted to key positions. Why? Because they operate within a system that is no longer built to encourage and reward the risk-taking and creativity they excelled at. Faddis discusses the birth of the CIA, how the agency works from the inside out, why things have gone awry—and how to go about building a new entity that will maintain the midnight watch, so Americans can sleep well at night.

Beyond Repair

The Decline and Fall of the CIA Charles S. Faddis

Charles S. Faddis served twenty years in the Central Intelligence Agency as an operations officer, holding positions as a department chief at the CIA’s Counterterrorism Center in Washington, D.C., and as a chief of station in the Middle East. He is the coauthor of Operation Hotel California (Lyons), which recounts how he led the first CIA mission into Iraq in preparation for the pending invasion. He lives in Davidsonville, Maryland.

Inspiring portraits of, and advice from, more than sixty “everyday” women who have faced breast cancer The Globe Pequot Press is honored to mark Breast Cancer Awareness month with Pink Ribbon Sisterhood, an inspiring collection of profiles of breast cancer survivors, culled from the “Think Pink” campaign undertaken in October 2008 by the Augusta Chronicle and other newspapers across America. Through compelling black-and-white photographs and interviews, we meet more than sixty beautiful, everyday women diagnosed with this disease and hear each woman’s experience in her own words. Concise paragraphs detail each woman’s family status, occupation, date of diagnosis, what helped her, her outlook, and her advice to other women. Interspersed within the profiles are short articles on topics including staying vigilant, absorbing the diagnosis, talking to family and friends, understanding treatment options, the importance of a support system, and navigating the long road to remission or dealing with cancer’s return. This book is a precious resource for women facing breast cancer—providing them not only with invaluable practical advice, but also the hope and courage that come from knowing they are not alone.

“Wise, witty, and refreshingly colloquial, this book is an enchanting tour through the complex, often controversial life of fashion icon Chanel. Filled with relevant life lessons for the modern woman, it is Karbo at her irrepressible best.”—Hilary Black, editor of The Secret Currency of Love Delving into the long, extraordinary life of renowned French fashion designer Coco Chanel, Karen Karbo has written a new kind of self-help book, exploring Chanel’s philosophy on themes ranging from style to passion, success to living life on your own terms. Born in 1883 in a French poorhouse, Chanel grew up to be the woman who not only gave us the little black dress and boxy jackets, but also gave women a chic freedom. Elegant, opinionated, and passionate, she was the only fashion icon among TIME magazine’s 100 Most Influential People of the 20th Century. The Gospel According to Coco Chanel is a captivating look at style, celebrity, and self-invention—all held together with droll Chanel-style commentary and culled from an examination of Chanel’s difficult childhood and triumphant adulthood, love affairs, and eccentricities. Karen Karbo’s books include How to Hepburn, which the Philadelphia Inquirer called “an exuberant celebration of a great original.” Her writings can also be found in Vogue, Elle, Esquire, and Redbook. She lives in Portland, Oregon.

A journey of whim, wit, and discoveries along the Connecticut River When retired CEO Ramsay Peard, 61, called his old friend David Morine, 59, and asked the longtime conservationist if he wanted to canoe the Connecticut River, Morine said he’d do it under one condition: no camping. “We’ll rely on the kindness of strangers.” And that’s what they did. Mooching their way down the river and staying with strangers every night, Morine and Peard got an inside look at such issues as the demise of farming, the loss of manufacturing, gay rights, and Wal-Mart versus Main Street, and they were able to delve deep into the lives of complete strangers. But Morine soon realized the one life he never dug into was Peard’s. After spending a month with him in a canoe, he had no idea that his friend’s innermost thoughts had taken a fateful course. . . . Written in the tradition of Bill Bryson’s A Walk in the Woods, this book will be treasured by conservationists, canoeists, and old friends still seeking a thrill. Everyone else will be delightfully entertained. David Morine, who was the head of land acquisition for The Nature Conservancy from 1972 to 1990, is the author of five books, including Good Dirt: Confessions of a Conservationist. He lives in Great Falls, Virginia.

Urban Myth: Fat makes you fat. Urban Skinny: Fat, fortunately, is great. It actually helps you lose weight because it makes meals more satisfying and keeps you full longer. Include a little fat in every meal. A tablespoon of olive oil or a tablespoon of peanut butter is only about 100 calories. Why eat dry toast or salad with just vinegar if you don’t have to?

Urban Skinny Rules—Learn ’em, Live ’em! •  Breakfast is NON-NEGOTIABLE. Eat it every day—no excuses. •  Order salad dressing on the side forever more. Always. •  Smaller portions make smaller people. ■

A revolutionary approach to dealing with chronic pain From arthritis to back pain to fibromylgia, chronic pain affects some fifty million Americans. With more than twelve years’ experience treating its sufferers and seeing the nation’s health care system come up short, Dr. Peter Abaci developed innovative treatments that have helped thousands better their lives in dramatic ways—techniques he now offers in this book for the first time. In Take Charge of Your Chronic Pain, Dr. Abaci sets forth a comprehensive approach to chronic pain, one rooted in cutting-edge research and case studies. He empowers readers by teaching them how they can take control of their pain by pairing traditional medicine with unconventional treatments—such as meditation, tai chi, art therapy, diet, supplements, acupuncture, and yoga. Writing in a reassuring tone throughout, he also reveals groundbreaking new information about how functional MRIs can now measure pain for the first time before and after treatments, as well as startling information about the pharmaceutical industry and the surprising new discovery that narcotic pain medications can actually worsen the pain. Peter Abaci, M.D., who specializes in anesthesiology and pain medicine, is a nationally recognized pioneer in transforming the traditional pain clinic into a multidisciplinary wellness center. Since 1996, he has worked in private practice in the San Francisco Bay Area, and he cofounded what today is known as the Bay Area Pain & Wellness Center. He lives in Monte Sereno, California.

A powerful, practical guide to using intuition during stressful life transitions Intuition has become widely recognized as a sixth sense that we all have. But just how do we routinely access this remarkable inner guide—especially in times of crisis? And how do we use it not only to survive but actually to thrive? Listen has the answers, and Lynn Robinson, M.Ed., delivers them with clarity and style. Intuition, says Robinson, is vitally important, particularly when personal crises meet global, economic ones. It’s our inner compass that points us in the direction of success—in love, finances, career choices, and everyday decisions. Written in the engaging style that has made her a popular speaker, this deep, wise, and spiritual book demystifies intuition and reveals the secrets of how to listen to one’s inner voice and interpret intuitive signs such as feelings, symbols, words, dreams, and physical sensations. Ultimately, readers learn how to move safely through the inevitable crises of life, and steadily toward their hopes and dreams. Lynn A. Robinson, M.Ed., one of America’s leading intuition experts, is the author of six books on the subject published in more than a dozen languages, including Divine Intuition, which has become a genre classic. She has been featured in major news media such as the Boston Globe, USA Today, and the Chicago Tribune, and is a frequent guest on national radio and TV programs. She publishes the popular Intuition Newsletter and a blog, Gut Trusters, both accessible via her website, lynnrobinson.com.

The failure of a father-daughter relationship can send a girl into adulthood convinced she is without worth, doomed to repeat this failure professionally and personally. Yet many women learn to overcome this—and each has a lesson to teach all those who lacked a father’s recognition and love. These lessons and the painful experiences and triumphs that led to them are the subject of The Unavailable Father. Dr. Sarah Simms Rosenthal shares such women’s intimate stories, helps readers identify their own patterns of behavior, and reveals how these women learned to move on. She weaves portraits of success rising out of failure. And she outlines five basic strategies to overcome the void—strategies to fortify one’s sense of self, challenge negative behaviors, and help banish the shadow of an unavailable father. Sarah Simms Rosenthal, Ph.D., who holds her degree in clinical social work from New York University, has a private practice and is an adolescent/family therapist at Phoenix House, a nonprofit drug rehabilitation program. She lives in New York City.

Around one out of three children have an insecure attachment to their mothers. And they often become adults who, decades later, feel they don’t have the support they need to meet critical challenges, have trouble forming healthy intimate relationships, and have an unmet hunger to be nurtured. The Emotionally Absent Mother explains in everyday language how people can make up for the mothering they missed. Jasmin Lee Cori provides readers clear ways to sort through their emotions and to heal the past. She shows that what they thought of as personal defects can sometimes be linked to mothering deficits, relieving self-blame. And she offers suggestions for how these missing elements can be made up for now—whether through therapy, close relationships, or by people providing them for themselves. Jasmin Lee Cori, M.S., L.P.C., is a psychotherapist who specializes in working with adults who experienced childhood trauma. Her books include Healing From Trauma and The Tao of Contemplation. She lives in Boulder, Colorado.

Finding where the real conflict lies in a relationship— and resolving it Breaking the Argument Cycle is a book for all those who’ve ever found themselves arguing with their significant other, again and again, about money, sex, or even a seemingly trivial topic—when, at its core, the conflict is about something completely different. A longtime marriage and family therapist, Sharon Rivkin has helped hundreds of couples fix their relationships by understanding why they fight. Here, she shows how anyone can use the tools of therapy to break the cycle of destructive fighting—namely, by resolving the core issues of early arguments, which have their roots in childhood and get repeated over time. Presenting real-life stories and easy exercises, Rivkin sets forth a simple, three-step process—Peel, Reveal, Heal—to empower couples to identify and then resolve their core issues themselves, shedding light on what they’re really arguing about. This is then followed up with healing exercises. By thus breaking the argument cycle, confusion and chaos turn into clarity and healing—and everyone can learn how and why they get hooked into an argument, how to unhook, and how to develop lasting tools to turn conflict into intimacy . . . even after years of fighting. Sharon M. Rivkin, M.A., M.F.T., a conflict resolution expert and licensed marriage and family therapist, has been in private practice for almost thirty years in Santa Rosa, California. She lives in Santa Rosa.

Some 2.4 million weddings occur annually in the United States, with $29,327 being the average bill.

In The Tax-Deductible Wedding, Sabrina Rivers provides practical advice for producing a dream wedding the tax-deductible way.

A wedding is a union between two people who love one another, sure—but every bride-to-be knows that it’s also about dealing with fussy bridesmaids, hoping the DJ won’t ask Grandma to rap, and going into shock over a bridal gown’s price tag. A girl who’s getting married needs some laughs, and she needs them in a hurry.

First family meeting: So awkward for all. Can we get some wine over here?

That’s where Wedding Haiku comes in. Eugénie Olson’s hip, humorous words of wisdom offer a bride-to-be the chance to take a little break—and to know she’s not alone. The 100 humorous haikus (with custom, two-color illustrations) progress from “I will” to “I do,” and put a refreshing spin on a wedding’s universal challenges. This book represents a precious opportunity to forget about that guest list for once, sit down, take a deep breath, and let it out in a laugh courtesy of seventeen well-chosen syllables. Eugénie Olson is the author of Pregnancy Haiku (GPP Life) and three novels, including Babe in Toyland, The Pajama Game, and Love in the Time of Taffeta. She lives in Arlington, Massachusetts, with her husband and young son.

Teaching can be immensely satisfying—and immensely stressful. Whether for making it through a school year’s worth of correcting homework and planning lessons, for planting seeds of brilliance in students’ minds, or for dealing with “challenging” kids (or parents), these all too often unsung heroes deserve not only an apple on their desks at the end of the year or a good drink at the end of the day, but a short, laugh-filled break any time they can get it! Enter Teacher Haiku. Penned by a teacher who’s been there, Teacher Haiku captures one-hundred and eighty-plus days of school in one hundred haiku, starting with the final breaths of summer and ending with those last, hectic days of school. Accompanied by custom, two-color illustrations, some haiku will make teachers laugh, some haiku will have them nodding their heads in agreement—and all will help to recharge their batteries before inviting their students back for yet another day of learning. If I give feedback and students don’t listen, do I still make a sound?

Full-color photographs and anecdotes about the farms and their residents bring Italy’s glorious countryside to life and complement such recipes as Onion Tarts, Fried Butternut Squash Ravioli, Piemontese Beef Stew, and Goat Cheese Gnocchi with Almond Butter.

Zabaglione Fredda Zabaglione is a warm egg custard laced with marsala wine and often served over fresh berries. Lighten up this classic with fresh whipped cream and serve it chilled, so it resembles an airy mousse. Serves six.

INGREDIENTS: •  6 large egg yolks •  1⁄2 cup (100 g) granulated sugar •  2 tablespoons (1 fl. oz. / 30 ml) dry marsala wine •  2 tablespoons (1 fl. oz. / 30 ml) white wine •  1 cup (8 fl. oz. / 240 ml) heavy whipping cream •  Mixed berries or amaretti cookies

PROCEDURE: •  Whisk together egg yolks and sugar until pale yellow and thickened. Add the white wine and marsala and continue to whisk until well incorporated. •  Heat water to a gentle simmer over low heat in the pan of a double boiler. Place bowl with egg yolk mixture over the water bath and whisk constantly until the mixture has doubled in volume and has thickened to light foamy custard. Remove from heat and let cool. •  Whip the cream either by hand or with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Fold into the zabaglione. Spoon the custard into individual glass bowls and chill until ready to serve. Serve with either fresh mixed berries or amaretti cookies. ■

With The New Boston Globe Cookbook, the beloved Boston Globe Cookbook— which was first published in 1948 and has sold almost 100,000 copies in Globe Pequot Press editions—comes back to life in all its glory, now also reflecting the flavors of the twenty-first-century city. Revised and updated by Boston Globe food editor Sheryl Julian, it features full-color photos and ethnic recipes as well as new twists on old favorites. New recipes come from cooks who have written for the Boston Globe’s food pages in recent years, while staples still remain; and recipe adjustments have been made that reduce fat, leavening agents, and flour. Sheryl Julian is the food editor of the Boston Globe, and writes and stylizes a food column in the Boston Globe Magazine. The author of The Way We Cook, she lives in Boston.

100+ simple-yet-sophisticated desserts anyone can make There comes a certain point in a woman’s life when she realizes that store-bought cakes and cookies for special occasions just aren’t going to cut it anymore. But she has neither the time nor the experience to create the desserts she sees on the Food Network, and has an aversion to the “semi-homemade” craze. You Made That Dessert? is for this woman. This book shows the savvy, modern woman how to make fabulous, beautiful desserts for any occasion without running all over town for exotic ingredients; without a kitchen full of expensive tools; and, most importantly, without feeling overwhelmed. With more than 100 recipes, accompanied by 50 full-color photos and Beth Lipton’s lively prose, You Made That Dessert? also explains basic baking principles and techniques. The recipes are easy, and mostly quick, but without sacrificing quality. Family and friends will ask, “You made that?” as they savor desserts including Molten Dark Chocolate Cakes, Fudgy Toblerone Brownies, Spicy Pumpkin Custard, and Cherry Clafouti.

ood prices have done some impressive skyrocketing of late—and they will continue to do so for some time to come. While the fortunate few can breeze through the checkout lane without fretting over their bank balances, for the rest of us, sticker shock sets in when least expected. But how to feed ourselves and our hungry families economically and healthfully at that?

Three new takes on $3 Meals! 250+ cost-busting, simple, healthy recipes for great meals and more

In three follow-ups to her $3 Meals: Feed Your Family Delicious, Healthy Meals for Less than the Cost of a Gallon of Milk (Lyons, April 2009), Ellen Brown dishes up the answer deliciously with simple, easy-to-follow, family-pleasing recipes. Each new book presents 250-plus recipes, with main courses priced so that the cost of a WHOLE meal— including side dishes and a dessert—costs less than $3 per person. All the recipes in two of the volumes can be prepared in less time than it takes to have a pizza delivered. If tending to other business while supper simmers in the slow cooker sounds tempting, why then, there’s a $3 Meals option for that, too. And one of them is especially waistline-friendly. Ellen Brown, who gained the national limelight in 1982 as the founding food editor of USA Today, is the author of twenty-five cookbooks, including $3 Meals: Feed Your Family Delicious Meals for Less than the Cost of a Gallon of Milk and the five-volume series Great Year-Round Grilling (Lyons). She lives in Providence, Rhode Island.

Considered perhaps the finest artist Montana has produced since Charlie Russell, sheepman Bill Stockton was also the celebrated author of this classic illustrated memoir—a wise, humorous, and sometimes shocking glimpse into what he termed “the problems of being a sheep and a few of the problems of people who care for them.” But, as one critic wrote, “This book will do more than amuse you or give you moments of enjoyment or teach you about sheep. It will teach you something about yourself.”

Bill Stockton was born and raised in Montana, studied art in Paris on the GI Bill in the 1950s, and returned to Montana where he raised sheep and pursued painting, sculpture, and drawing at his home near Grass Lodge, where he died in 2002.

In many small towns across Montana, the local bar is also the only restaurant and is an important part of community life. In larger towns and cities, gems from Montana’s Wild West past are still found. This book celebrates the quirky, unusual, and downright fun and entertaining saloons across the state. Montana Watering Holes features more than fifty of the best spots to stop for a drink (or a burger) across Montana. From big-city spots like the Rhino in Missoula (with its 150 beers on tap) to the famous cheeseburgers at the bar in Pony (pop. 50), community spirit and tradition abound in venerable old buildings that have served as saloons, restaurants, and gathering places throughout the Treasure State. This book describes the best of the best, offering geographic diversity, anecdotes, and sidebars on local characters from the past. It is illustrated with archival and contemporary black-and-white photographs. Joan Melcher is a writer and editor based in Missoula, Montana. She has been interviewed by the Washington Post, the Billings Gazette, and other regional and national publications about her longtime search for the “perfect Montana bar.” TO ORDER CALL 1 800 243 0495   FAX 1 800 820 2329   THENEWGPP.COM

How a modern-day mine disaster has turned a Pennsylvania community into a ghost town For much of its history, Centralia, Pennsylvania, had a population of around 2,000. By 1981, this had dwindled to just over 1,000—not unusual for a onetime mining town. But as of 2007, Centralia had the unwelcome distinction of being the state’s tiniest municipality, with a population of nine. The reason: an underground fire that began in 1962 has decimated the town with smoke and toxic gases and has since made history. Fire Underground is the completely updated classic account of the fire that has been raging under Centralia for decades. David DeKok tells the story of how the fire actually began and how government officials failed to take effective action. By 1981 the fire was spewing deadly gases into homes. A twelve-year-old boy dropped into a steaming hole as a congressman toured nearby. DeKok describes how the people of Centralia banded together to finally win relocation funds—and he reveals what has happened to the few remaining residents as the fiftieth anniversary of the fire’s beginning nears. David DeKok has been reporting on the Centralia mine fire for more than thirty years. While at the News-Item in Shamokin, Pennsylvania, from 1975 to 1987, he wrote more than 500 stories about Centralia’s plight. His first book on the subject, Unseen Danger, was published in 1986. He lives in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.

Meet your local farmer! Published for the 400th anniversary of Henry Hudson’s September 1609 journey up the river that today bears his name, this fascinating portrait celebrates the local farms—and farmers—in one of the country’s most scenic and storied regions, once known as the Breadbasket of America. Hudson River Valley Farms brings to life the renaissance of food producers who have re-created the region as a source of artisanal cheeses, grass-fed beef, and first-rate organic fruits and vegetables. Stunning photography and short, evocative essays take readers on a rare, behind-the-scenes journey to forty-four farms from Westchester County to the Capital District of Albany, and feature the colorful maverick entrepreneurs behind the striking scenery. The book also includes a directory of nearly 100 local farmers’ markets, directions to the featured farms, and an introduction by the region’s popular U.S. Congressman, Maurice Hinchey.

A celebration of the sesquicentennial of the shortlived, but much celebrated, Pony Express “Orphans preferred” was the call that went out to the daring of heart when the Pony Express was organized nearly 150 years ago in April 1860. Called “The Greatest Enterprise of Modern Times,” the endeavor— which lasted only six months—recruited young men willing to risk life and limb in a relay race that crossed the frontier on a route from St. Joseph, Missouri, to San Francisco, California, speeding the delivery of mail to an astonishing ten days. The Pony Express: An Illustrated History combines the legends and lore of this remarkable mail service with contemporary photography and archival images and documents from the past, and celebrates the sesquicentennial of the start—and end—of those daring rides, which ended with the completion of the transcontinental railroad. It is a befitting tribute to an American icon whose legacy is marked to this day by Pony Express museums all along the route from Missouri to California.

After its establishment in 1872, Yellowstone National Park was sufficiently famous that numerous people risked bear maulings, Indian attacks, and geyser burns just to glimpse its wonders. A surprising number of those who survived wrote about their adventures. The best of these stories are collected in Adventures in Yellowstone. Presenting a dozen narratives—journal entries, letters, and diaries—with an introduction to each, and with historic photographs, postcards, and woodcuts, this book is the essential compilation of the most gripping first-person accounts of the early years of America’s most cherished national park.

Ghosts of the Pioneers is a poignant first-person account of a family vacation with an unusual purpose: to trace the path of the pioneers who traveled the Oregon Trail and, in particular, the often tragic path of an 1844 wagon train. In 2006, Twain Braden, his wife, and their children retraced the route of these pioneers. Juxtaposing the story of the Independent Oregon Colony’s arduous journey West with his family’s own modern-day trip, Braden presents a moving, sometimes humorous, and illuminating account of how America became what it is today. “A wonderful, close-to-the-earth book about the West.”—Ken Burns, director and producer of documentary films, including The Civil War

A riveting look at an untold chapter of Western history, this book tells the story of Martha Hughes Cannon, the first woman elected to the state senate in Utah—in 1896. She was a polygamist wife, a practicing physician, and an astute and pioneering politician. Pioneer, Polygamist, Politician tells the story of her life, from her birth in Wales, to her emigration to Utah with her family in 1861, her career as a physician, and her marriage, to her exile in England, and her subsequent return and election to the Utah state senate. Cannon was a Democrat—and her husband was the Republican candidate she defeated in that historic election. TO ORDER CALL 1 800 243 0495   FAX 1 800 820 2329   THENEWGPP.COM

Utah offers a paradox in women’s history—a state founded by polygamists who offered women early suffrage and encouraged career education in the nineteenth century. More than Petticoats: Remarkable Utah Women tells the stories of twelve strong and determined women who broke through the social, cultural, or political barriers of the day. The women in these pages include Emmeline B. Wells (1828– 1921), president of the Mormon Women’s Relief Society, editor of Exponent, and president of the Woman Suffrage Association of Utah; and Reva Beck Bosone (1895–1983), Utah Congresswoman and the state’s first female judge, who voted against the formation of the CIA and was smeared in the anticommunism crusade of the 1950s. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in women’s studies, history, and the story of Utah.

From the author of Whatever You Do, Don’t Run

Incredible true tales from a world-renowned safari guide and celebrated author Romantic notions aside, being a safari guide isn’t always particularly enjoyable or glamorous. Quite often it is beset with challenges, like having to spend a night in a thorn tree with marauding hyenas below. But safari guide Peter Allison lives for such moments. Here, the author of the widely praised Whatever You Do, Don’t Run details his time spent in safari camps not only in Botswana but also in South Africa, Mozambique, and Namibia—places he loves, despite how much it feels like they might just be trying to kill him. In Don’t Look Behind You, Allison recounts adventures few would live to tell, like the time he and a group of bored guides launched a makeshift raft into a foaming, flooded river teeming with hippos and crocodiles; or the afternoon he heard monkeys telling him that a leopard was walking around the camp, and then realized the leopard was in his tent, with him in it. In addition to relating his encounters with animals, Allison shares the stories of those tourists who have long been pushing him toward early retirement. Normally respectful of all his fellow creatures no matter how many feet they have, Allison fantasizes about leaving one in particular behind on the Skeleton Coast, a place that receives less than half an inch of rain a year, and is patrolled by lions and hyenas.

A classic in the genre of mountain literature—with a new preface by the author Rising more than 20,000 feet into the Alaskan sky is Denali, the tallest mountain in North America. In this collection of exhilarating and stunning narratives, Jonathan Waterman paints a startlingly intimate portrait of the white leviathan and brings to vivid life men and women whose fates have entwined on its sheer icy peak. “A fine writer with a profound appreciation of what towering mountains are. . . . This is a book about the high mountains written by a real mountain man.”—James Michener “Stratospherically the finest in the genre. With this book, Waterman has earned a place alongside such great modern American mountain writers as David Roberts and Jon Krakauer.”—Greg Child, author of Thin Air, from the foreword “A mountaineering classic, not only because it takes as its subject the nation’s highest mountain but also because Waterman writes with unusual vision and spirit.”—Booklist “Tales from the mean side of Denali . . . Arresting.”—Kirkus Reviews

In the Shadow of Denali

“Bewitching. It was an honor to read this eyes-open chronicle of being beaten to a psychological pulp and then reborn.” —American Alpine Journal

Reassessing the role outdoorsmen have played in preserving our environmental heritage Since the nineteenth century, hunters and anglers have played a pivotal role in protecting the world’s essential species and habitat. Indeed, what we now call the environmental movement has its roots in the first efforts of sportsmen to preserve the land and animals they loved. In How Sportsmen Saved the World, renowned sporting author E. Donnall Thomas Jr. tells, for the first time, the complete story of how sportsmen have managed to make our world a much better place. From the initial steps taken by such towering figures as Theodore Roosevelt and Aldo Leopold, to the collective endeavors of nonprofits like Ducks Unlimited and the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation, Thomas takes us on a revealing historical journey. Among the issues addressed: saving the Delaware shad, the wild turkey, and the Russian bear; examining America’s National Parks system and Zimbabwe’s Humani Reserve; and discovering why many anglers consider salmon farming an environmental disaster. He concludes that the contributions of sportsmen to the environment have ironically been far more substantial than those of organizations such as Greenpeace and Defenders of Wildlife—groups that take a stance against hunting and fishing.

How Sportsmen Saved the World

E. Donnall Thomas Jr. is the author of fifteen widely acclaimed outdoor books, including Dream Fish and Road Trips (Lyons) and By Dawn’s Early Light. He writes regularly for more than two dozen publications, including Traditional Bowhunter, Bowhunter, Gray’s Sporting Journal, and Big Sky Journal. He divides his time between Montana and Alaska.

FIVE CLASSICS OF SPORTS JOURNALISM BY GEORGE PLIMPTON Author, journalist, editor, actor, and modern-day Renaissance man, George Plimpton (1927–2003) was, according to Norman Mailer, the best-loved man in New York. Remembered for his sports writing and as a founder of the Paris Review, the Harvard-educated Plimpton was the subject of a widely praised 2008 oral biography, George Being George. Integral to his literary achievements was his famous penchant for competing in professional sports as an amateur—and then chronicling the experience. In September 2009, six years after his death, The Globe Pequot Press celebrates Plimpton’s remarkable contribution to participatory sports journalism with new editions of five of his classic works, each with a guest foreword. What happens when America’s favorite sports dilettante goes up against the pros—whether in golf, hockey, boxing, baseball, or football—recalls the dreams of every man who still has the noble heart of youth beating in him, and the fears of anyone who has taken a lump or two from life. George Plimpton was the best-selling author and editor of nearly thirty books, as well as the cofounder, publisher, and editor of the Paris Review. He wrote for such magazines as Sports Illustrated and Esquire, and he appeared in films and on television.

After first signing a release holding the Bruins harmless should he meet with injury or death, he survives a harrowing five minutes in an exhibition game against the Philadelphia Flyers relatively unscathed. With reflections on hockey greats including Bobby Orr and Wayne Gretzky, Open Net is at once a celebration of the thrills and grace of the greatest sport on ice and a probing meditation into the hopes and fears of every man.

Boil your octopus for at least twenty minutes— then add a little white wine and lemon juice. The wine and lemon works to mask the octopus’s nasty scent, plus it helps to preserve it. Raw octopuses stink to high heaven and when thrown, they stick to the ice and leave a big inky splotch. A cooked octopus, on the other hand, will roll and slide across the ice juuuust right. . . .

Reannouncing

■ Sports

A richly illustrated, personal journey into the mind of a legendary football coach Vince Lombardi was notorious for his inability to throw anything away. What that means to fans of one of football’s greatest figures finally comes together in The Official Vince Lombardi Playbook—an unprecedented collection of intimate photos; colorful reflections from players who honed their skills under Lombardi; personal mementos; and an array of his handwritten speeches, personal letters, scouting reports, and player photos. Above all, The Vince Lombardi Playbook highlights the plays that made the Packers great: the feared power sweep, the halfback option pass, the textbook traps, the risky third-and-short passes, and many others. Featured in diagrams in Lombardi’s original hand, with terminology and notations, these archival gems form an all-access pass onto the field and into the mind of a legend. This book will be cherished by football fans everywhere. Phil Barber’s many books include We Were Champions: The 49ers’ Dynasty in Their Own Words. A journalist who has covered pro football and other sports for decades, he has been a longtime regular contributor to the Sporting News. Most recently a reporter for the Santa Rosa Press Democrat, he has approached the game from many angles. He lives in Santa Rosa, California.

The diagrammed play, “43 Double-Pinch,” was designed for short yardage and goal line situations, although it had the potential to be a big gainer from the middle of the field.

■

■

■

■

The Set Up The center is the square, with the right guard, tackle, and tight end lined to his right and the left guard and tackle to his left. The two ends are split and the halfback is lined up to the right of the quarterback,

■

5 to 6 yards back. The only twist in this play is that the fullback is lined up on the outside shoulder of the tight end, rather than on the same line with the halfback as was common.

■

This is a dive play for the halfback. “Double Pinch” is a reference to the blocking scheme, which includes two double teams, one between the center and right guard and the other between the right tackle and tight end. As diagrammed, there are three options of play, depending on how the defensive front is aligned. On the first and last version, the play is against an odd-man line, with a defensive tackle lined directly across from center. That tackle is the object of the double team between the center and right guard. The left defensive tackle is double-teamed by the right tackle and tight end. On the first version, the fullback blocks the strong side linebacker. On the third version, the fullback blocks the defensive end. In the second, or middle, diagram, the blocking schemes are set against an even defense that doesn’t have a defensive tackle lined up directly across the center. In this version, the double teams are on the same defenders but the fullback leads through the hole on to the strong side linebacker. A variation of this play was used in Super Bowl I, the first AFL-NFL championship football game, played between AFL champion Kansas City Chiefs and NFL champion Green Bay Packers, but on the left side of the ball. The Packers performed one double-team block on a play that produced a 5-yard touchdown run by halfback Elijah Pitts.

History & Current Events ■

An unprecedented exploration of the formative years of a great warrior In nine months and eight days of campaigning during World War II, the Third United States Army of George S. Patton Jr. moved faster and farther, killed or captured more of the enemy, and liberated more cities and towns than any other army in the history of warfare. Patton’s Drive tells the story of how a young man born to war became a modern American general, and one of the greatest field commanders of the twentieth century. Beginning with Patton’s magnificent drive across Europe during World War II, Alan Axelrod, Ph.D., traces the trajectory that revealed the commander’s destiny. There was the youthful captain who pursued Pancho Villa’s guerrillas deep into Mexico, and the colonel who led America’s first tank corps against the Germans in World War I. Dr. Axelrod also details how the two decades of peace between the world wars were, for Patton, a purgatory of physical and emotional torment. For all that has been written about Patton, his formative years have escaped close analysis. These years and their results are the subjects of Patton’s Drive. Alan Axelrod, who holds a Ph.D. from the University of Iowa, is the author or coauthor of more than twenty books, including Patton: A Biography, A Military Book Club Editor’s Choice; Patton on Leadership; and Miracle at Belleau Wood (Lyons), A Main Selection of the Military Book Club. He has appeared on Discovery Channel documentaries. He lives in Atlanta, Georgia.

A Man Called Intrepid is the classic true story of Sir William Stephenson and the spy network he founded that would ultimately stall the Nazi war machine and help win World War II. Ian Fleming once remarked, “James Bond is a highly romanticized version of a true spy. The real thing is William Stephenson.” Illustrated with thirty-two pages of black-and-white photographs, this modern classic, which reads like fiction, was a national bestseller when first published in 1976. “An adventure story of monumental proportions.”—NBC News

William Stevenson (no relation to the subject of this book) was trained in aerial espionage as a British fighter pilot in World War II. A distinguished journalist and war correspondent, he is the author of sixteen books, including Intrepid’s Last Case (Lyons) and Ninety Minutes at Entebbe. He lives in Toronto, Canada.

Eighty maps plot the routes that pirates followed—whether crossing the world’s great oceans or pursuing their prey through creeks and bays. Colorful archive illustrations, including photographs and images from England’s National Maritime Museum and other historic collections, bring the villains, their ships, and their victims to life. Lively, accessible text by pirate expert Angus Konstam explains how piracy grew and flourished from the early buccaneers to the rogues of popular legends, how it has been snuffed out, and how it has reared its head again with the machine-gun-toting pirates operating on today’s high seas. Angus Konstam is the author of more than fifty historical books, including The History of Pirates (Lyons), Blackbeard: America’s Most Notorious Pirate, The Pirate Ship, and The History of Shipwrecks. He has made several TV appearances as an authority on pirates for the History Channel. He lives in Edinburgh, Scotland.

Living small frees up the mind, the wallet, and the soul As economic uncertainties loom large, and the evidence mounts that humans are responsible for much of global warming, the “new” trend is beginning to seem old: new subdivisions filled with McMansions, the friend of a friend’s childless brother who just added on a third bedroom. Many of us have suffered the consequences of an inflated mortgage, an unmanageable construction project, or a house simply too large to keep clean. Will our dream home always be a celebration of excess and a drain on our lives? Some wise people buck the trend. They build, remodel, redecorate, or just rethink their needs—prudently and calmly constructing a joyful, sane life around themselves. They think, sometimes literally, outside the box, and they live close, warm, and simple, applying spiritual and social solutions to their material desires. Pockets of people all over America are realizing the benefits of scaling down. They are designing a new dream, one that reunites extended families, makes space for friends, and emphasizes home life over home maintenance. Little House on a Small Planet is a guidebook to this movement, and an invitation to join. Author Shay Salomon offers fourteen basic principles for the design and habitation of efficient, high-density homes. These principles outline the invisible supports of a happy home, set within the context of a future, more caring society. With floor plans, photographs, advice, and anecdotes, this book asks, and answers, “What fills a home when the excess is cut away, and how do we get there from here?”

A lighthearted look at holiday madness As the song says, “It’s the most wonderful time of the year.” And the weirdest. Friends and neighbors, married couples and lovers, parents and children, grandparents and grandchildren gather together and celebrate Christmas . . . Hanukkah . . . the Winter Solstice . . . Humbug Day. And for every familiar carol sung and every turkey dinner eaten and every red stocking hung, there are curses hurled, trees turned upside-down, and lumps of coal regifted. And that’s just the beginning. In The Upside-Down Christmas Tree, anyone looking to laugh their way through the stress of the holidays will discover what truly strange goings-on go on behind closed doors in homes and towns around the world during the twelve days of Christmas, including: •  Weird holiday food & drink traditions and toasts •  Unusual decorations and celebrations •  Shopping idiosyncrasies, presents from hell, and bizarre gift exchanges •  Wild and wacky variations on the Santa Claus theme •  Dysfunctional family antics associated with the holidays •  What people will do to avoid going home for the holidays •  Family and cultural traditions from around the globe

In plenty of time for the holidays, here is a gathering of thirty tales of ghosts, hauntings, and other paranormal happenings purported to have taken place on or around Christmas, or that are otherwise related to this holiday. By a long time believer in the paranormal who in the introduction tells the story of her own Christmas ghost, Haunted Christmas includes a broad range of stories sure to scare— from the one about the haunted locales of Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, including the Hotel Bethlehem, where guests have reported eerie experiences especially at Christmastime, to a young woman’s encounter with the “death coach” of Irish legend. Beth Crain, author of Haunted U.S. Battlefields (Globe Pequot), made the Los Angeles Times bestseller list with her memoir, A Widow, A Chihuahua, and Harry Truman. She lives in Hart, Michigan.

Romance is undeniably otherworldly. Heart racing, breath quickening, senses ablaze—it’s all part of what makes love so frighteningly grand. As Francois de La Rouchefoucauld said four centuries ago, “It is with true love as it is with ghosts; everyone talks about it, but few have seen it.” And yet, there are those who have seen both. Welcome to Haunted Love. With settings ranging from southern Florida to South Korea, this book delivers a rich and varied collection of tales that touch the heart and tingle the spine. The book features lush historical narratives that capture all of the tenderness, heartbreak, and raw emotion of the love affairs along with the chillingly detailed encounters with the ghosts these ill-fated romances left behind. Chris Gonsalves is the coauthor of Haunted Golf (Lyons). He lives on Cape Cod, Massachusetts, and Palm Beach Gardens, Florida.

With so many decisions to make in the areas of love and relationships, education and professional endeavors, success and personal happiness, it’s no wonder that most of us seek good advice from the fount of collective human wisdom at one time or another. Here, in one helpful compendium, is the best advice ever recorded: personal tips, traditional proverbs, and clever observations—some gently inspiring and some profoundly life-changing—from the sages of the literary, political, spiritual, and psychological realms. “Laughter is not a bad beginning for a friendship, and it is by far the best ending for one.” —Oscar Wilde

The chapters span the subjects of advice on education, life and living, success of a personal and financial nature, romantic and platonic love, inspiration, creativity and the arts, sports and competition, business and leadership, and proverbs and folk sayings. The book concludes with a wry chapter on advice about advice. Steven D. Price, a consulting editor of The Lyons Press, is the author of twentyfive books, including The Ultimate Fishing Guide and The Quotable Horse Lover; 1001 Insults, Put-Downs, and Comebacks; 1001 Dumbest Things Ever Said; and 1001 Smartest Things Ever Said (all Lyons). He lives in New York City.

A choice selection of dog tales by some of the world’s finest writers

Now in Paperback!

Since canines first joined humans around the fire— perhaps as far back as 100,000 years ago—the two species have enjoyed a mutually rewarding relationship. The bond between people and their dogs is like no other. Dogs are our best friends, our coworkers, our guardians, and often, our rescuers. They serve us, adore us, entertain us, work for and with us, but most of all they warm our hearts. The perfect gift for any dog lover, The Greatest Dog Stories Ever Told is a compulsively readable collection of some of the most moving and illuminating stories ever penned on the subject of our canine companions. Readers will find selections from renowned writers of the genre such as Jack London, James Thurber, and Willie Morris, as well as a few surprise contributions from writers more famous in other fields, including Ray Bradbury and Thomas Mann. With gems from Will Rogers, P. G. Wodehouse, Peter Mayle, Stephen J. Bodio, and many others, The Greatest Dog Stories Ever Told is hard to put down. In the thirty-six stories in this fascinating collection, dog lovers will have the pleasure of meeting all kinds of canines—sled dogs, herding dogs, hunting and birding dogs, family pets and movie stars, a dog who was a growing boy’s best friend, and even a man who was a dog in another life. These dogs will make readers laugh and make them cry, but most of all they will make them realize just why humans adore their dogs.

It’s the stuff that players are trying to work out when they say to themselves, “If I go there and he goes there . . . and then I check him with the knight . . . now, what can he do . . . etc.” At a social or weak club level, virtually 100% of games are decided for tactical reasons. If you want to play good chess you have to understand tactics. It’s that simple! Checkmate Tactics, written by the greatest chess player of all time, will help you achieve this goal. Garry Kasparov was world champion between 1985 and 2000 and is generally regarded as the greatest chess player ever.

The windmill is an iconic feature of the Western landscape and was just as vital as railroads and horses in the settlement of the American West. For ranchers and farmers who struggled to pump water manually from the ground, the windmill provided an abundance of clean, pure water by tapping effortlessly into the underground supply. This allowed ranchers more freedom in grazing their cattle and an improved quality of life. This new book by David Stoecklein continues his photographic documentation of the West and traces the important heritage of the windmill throughout the Western states and old Mexico. His images are accompanied by a brief history of windmills and quotations. David R. Stoecklein has worked closely with cowboys from every Western state. Through his work, he has gained a deep understanding of and respect for cowboys. His quest to keep the spirit of the West alive is heartfelt and uncompromising. David spends every free moment photographing cowboys and all elements of their lives, preserving their heritage and traditions. David resides in Sun Valley with his wife, Mary, and their three sons.

Trail riding is one of the most popular horseback activities, yet few riders have the knowledge and experience to properly prepare their horses at home for the challenges along the trail. As a result, these riders encounter behavioral problems with their horses that put them in dangerous situations and prevent them from enjoying their wilderness adventures to the fullest. American Quarter Horse Association Professional Horseman Mike Kinsey has teamed up with Western Horseman senior editor Jennifer Denison to create Backcountry Basics. This problem-solving handbook, based on the awardwinning series that ran in the magazine, is for recreational trail riders, but any rider can benefit from Kinsey’s techniques and have a more reliable, responsive mount.

It doesn’t matter if your No. 1 horse is a well-seasoned senior, a world champion, or a promising prospect; when he’s lame, your horse program suffers. In Understanding Lameness, Dr. Terry Swanson guides you through the degrees of lameness and the effects of injury on your horse’s future health and serviceability. A past president of the American Association of Equine Practitioners, Swanson uses the latest diagnostic techniques as key tools in managing lameness problems. Also a horseman, Swanson grasps the physical demands placed on equine athletes and the impact lameness can have from a rider’s and an owner’s perspectives. From hoof abscesses, white-line disease, and navicular syndrome to laminitis, ringbone, and soft-tissue injuries, Understanding Lameness teaches you to recognize the symptoms of each problem, which diagnostic tools can be most beneficial, and what types of treatments might best put your horse on the road to recovery.
