FICTION HIGHLIGHTS
I ALMOST FORGOT ABOUT YOU
Terry McMillan
April 2016
Rights: World
In I ALMOST FORGOT ABOUT YOU, Dr. Georgia Young's wonderful lifegreat friends, family, and successful career- aren't enough to keep her
from feeling stuck and restless. When she decides to make some major
changes in her life, she finds herself on a wild journey that may or may
not include a second chance at love.
Like Waiting to Exhale and How Stella Got Her Groove Back, I ALMOST
FORGOT ABOUT YOU will show legions of readers what can happen when you face your
fears, take a chance, and open yourself up to the world.
“It's another dull Friday night. I'm lying in bed, alone, of course, propped up by a sea of pillows,
still in work clothes and my lab coat because after a grueling day of back-to-back patients I'm
almost comatose which is why I'm channel surfing while I wait for my pizza to be delivered. I
stop when I come to my favorite standby: Law & Order: Criminal Intent, even though I've seen
almost all of them -- including the reruns. Sometimes I still watch the first five or ten minutes,
just long enough to see Detective Goren walk around the crime scene, looking for clues before
he begins to study the victim by circling them in his long trench coat until he stops, tilts his head
to the side, puts on those rubber gloves and then rubs the new growth on that beautiful square
chin, because he's just trying to make sense of it all. And it's at that moment, before he utters a
word that I usually pucker up, blow him a kiss and then change the channel. Like I'm doing now.
I've been in love with him and his shoulders long before my first marriage ended. I would've
killed to have sex with him but he went off the air. And were he to walk in here right now, I'd let
him do almost anything he wanted to do to me. That is so not true. It's been centuries since I've
had sex so I'm not sure I'd even remember what to do first. In fact, I think I'd be too
uncomfortable not to mention scared of getting all touchy feely with any man and far too
embarrassed at the mere thought of him seeing me naked. Hell, I sleep with the remote.”

A FINE IMITATION
Amber Brock
May 2016
Rights: World English
Agency: Janklow & Nesbit
Set in the glamorous 1920s, A FINE IMITATION is an intoxicating debut
that sweeps readers into a privileged Manhattan socialite's restless life
and the affair with a mysterious painter that upends her world, flashing
back to her years Vassar and the friendship that brought her to the brink
of ruin.
Vera Bellington has the beauty, the pedigree and a penthouse at The Angelus-- the most
coveted address on Park Avenue. But behind the sparkling social whirl, Vera is living a life of
quiet desperation. Her days are an unbroken loop of empty, champagne-soaked socializing,
while her nights are silent and cold, spent waiting alone in her cavernous apartment for a
husband who seldom comes home.
Then Emil Hallan arrives at The Angelus to paint a mural above its glittering subterranean pool.
The handsome French artist moves into the building, shrouds his work in secrecy, and piques
Vera's curiosity, especially when the painter keeps dodging questions about his past. Is he the
man he claims to be? Even as she finds herself increasingly drawn to Hallan's warmth and
passion, Vera can't supress her suspicions. After all, she has plenty of secrets, too -- and some
of them involve art forgers like her bold, artistically talented former friend, Bea, who years ago,
at Vassar, brought Vera to the brink of catastrophe and social exile.
When the dangerous mysteries of Emil's past are revealed, Vera faces an impossible choice -whether to cling to her familiar world of privilege and propriety, or to risk her future with the
enigmatic man who has taken her heart. A FINE IMITATION explores what happens when we
realize that the life we've always led is not the life we want to have.

richly evoked, the dialogue crackles, and the story rolls on a wave of

THE TSAR OF LOVE AND TECHNO
Stories
Anthony Marra
October 2015
Rights: World
From the author of The National Book Award longlist selection and
New York Times bestseller A Constellation of Vital Phenomena
come these dazzling, poignant, and lyrical interwoven stories about
family, sacrifice, the legacy of war, and the redemptive power of art.
This stunning, exquisitely written collection introduces a cast of
remarkable characters whose lives intersect in ways both life-affirming and heartbreaking. A
1930s Soviet censor painstakingly corrects offending photographs, deep underneath Leningrad,
bewitched by the image of a disgraced prima ballerina. A chorus of women recount their stories
and those of their grandmothers, former gulag prisoners who settled their Siberian mining town.
Two pairs of brothers share a fierce, protective love. Young men across the former USSR face
violence at home and in the military. And great sacrifices are made in the name of an oil
landscape unremarkable except for the almost incomprehensibly peaceful past it depicts. In
stunning prose, with rich character portraits and a sense of history reverberating into the
present, THE TSAR OF LOVE AND TECHNO is a captivating work from one of our greatest
new talents. This collection of interlinked stories is very novelistic, similar to Jennifer Egan’s A
Visit From The Goon Squad.

HUNTERS IN THE DARK
Lawrence Osborne
January 2016
Rights: World
“A modern Graham Greene… Osborne is a thrilling, exceptional talent .” —Sunday
Times (UK)
The new novel from Lawrence Osborne, critically acclaimed author of The
Forgiven and The Ballad of a Small Player
When Robert Grieves crosses the Thai-Cambodia border, he is simply a lone,
aimless traveler: a British English teacher in his early thirties, abroad on holiday with no
particular destination in mind. But when he unexpectedly wins money at the gambling table, his fate becomes
intertwined with the lives of a cast of others: people who are strangers to him now but whose choices will affect
his future in surprising--and often dangerous--ways. Simon Beaucamp, a dashing expat American, asks Robert
to join him at his lavish riverside home and introduces him to Sothea, his beautiful and reserved Khmer
girlfriend, and although Simon's motives are unclear, Robert can't help but be taken in by the American's
elegance and generosity.
What follows is a sophisticated game of cat and mouse, where identities are blurred, greed trumps
kindness, and karma is ruthless. Filled with Hitchcockian twists and turns, suffused with the steamy heat and
pervasive superstition of the Cambodian jungle, and unafraid to confront uneasy questions about luck and the
machinations of fate, HUNTERS IN THE DARK is a masterful novel that feels like an instant classic.
Hogarth UK will publish in May 2015.

“It may be most apt to compare Bond to Gabriel García Márquez.” –The Guardian
“Bond proves to be a powerful literary force, a writer whose unflinching yet lyrical prose is reminiscent
of Toni Morrison’s.” —O, The Oprah Magazine
In describing her debut novel, RUBY Cynthia Bond has said, “There are moments, spices, that have been
stirred in slowly—from my life and from the stories of others.” She has drawn upon her own experiences, her
family’s history, and the heartbreaking tales she’s heard through her years working with homeless and at-risk
youth—including the brutal devastation of human trafficking—and woven these threads together to create a
story that is truly unforgettable. The newest selection for Oprah’s Book Club 2.0, RUBY is the kind of story that
stays with you long after you’ve read the last page. “Nothing comes close to the experience of reading this
book. It’s a dark, moving story, harrowing and heartbreaking yet filled with moments of love pure and strong,”
said Oprah Winfrey. “When I found out that Cynthia Bond is 53 years old and hasn’t written a book before, I
couldn’t fathom it. RUBY is a vivid, searing novel that penetrates straight through the page and into the
reader’s heart.” A labor of love that Bond worked on over the course of ten years, this epic novel sparkles with
a richness and brilliance emblematic of its namesake.
In reading RUBY it is clear that we are witnessing the arrival of an astonishing new voice.

“Second Street Station is a great read. Following Mary Handley through this Victorian

NONFICTION HIGHLIGHTS
OBJECTIVE TROY
A Terrorist, a President, and the Rise of the Drone
Scott Shane
September 2015
Rights: World
OBJECTIVE TROY tells the gripping and unsettling story of Anwar al-Awlaki, the oncecelebrated American imam who called for moderation after 9/11, a man who ultimately
directed his outsized talents to the mass murder of his fellow citizens. It follows Barack
Obama's campaign against the excesses of the Bush counterterrorism programs and his
eventual embrace of the targeted killing of suspected militants. And it recounts how the
president directed the mammoth machinery of spy agencies to hunt Awlaki down in a
frantic, multimillion-dollar pursuit that would end with the death of Awlaki by a bizarre, robotic technology that is
changing warfare--the drone.
Scott Shane, who has covered terrorism for The New York Times over the last decade, weaves the clash
between president and terrorist into both a riveting narrative and a deeply human account of the defining
conflict of our era. Awlaki, who directed a plot that almost derailed Obama's presidency, and then taunted him
from his desert hideouts, will go down in history as the first United States citizen deliberately hunted and
assassinated by his own government without trial. But his eloquent calls to jihad, amplified by YouTube,
continue to lure young Westerners into terrorism--resulting in tragedies from the Boston marathon bombing to
the murder of cartoonists at a Paris weekly. Awlaki's life and death show how profoundly the world has been
changed by the threat of terrorism and by our own fears.
Illuminating and provocative, and based on years of in depth reporting, OBJECTIVE TROY is a brilliant
reckoning with the moral challenge of terrorism and a masterful chronicle of our times.

A MOTHER’S RECKONING
Susan Klebold
February 2016
Rights: World
In A MOTHER'S RECKONING, Sue Klebold, for the first time, recounts , based on her
recollections, her daily journals, and the difficult and tragic writings and video
recordings her son left behind, the days and months leading up to the tragic shooting
at Columbine High School, where 13 students, as well as the shooters themselves,
died - and the searing impact the tragedy had on the victims and their families, on the
Columbine community, and on Sue and her family. In large measure, this candid and
unflinching narrative was written to explore how Sue missed the signs. How did her
beloved golden boy go so utterly off the rails, without her knowledge? Did she miss the indications, subtle or
obvious, that Dylan was in trouble? That her child, who had just attended the senior prom and was soon to
graduate and go off to college, had a dark, secret life, and an inner rage, that she could not even imagine? Is
there something valuable and important that she can share with other mothers and families in terms of
recognizing the signs that might get other young adults the help they need to head off a Columbine before it
happens?
In an age when the number of mass shootings every year has escalated to unprecedented levels, is there
something we as parents and concerned citizens and community members can do to help our children and
head off such senseless tragedies? With fresh wounds from Newton and U.C. Santa Barbara, never has the
need or yearning for insight and understanding been more urgent. (Material will be embargoed until

“Kate Bolick brings a bracing feminist consciousness to bear on the lives of five
unconventional women of the past and on her own young life in the twenty-first century.
She writes about the dilemmas of love and work—then and now—with rare perspicacity
and poignancy.” —Janet Malcolm, author of The Journalist and the Murderer
“Spinster is a triumph, a provocative and moving exploration of what it means for a woman to chart her own
course.” —Malcolm Gladwell, author of David and Goliath
“Kate Bolick’s Spinster will take your breath away. Writing with a bold vision and in incandescent prose, Bolick
gives us a user’s guide to going solo — and a gorgeous work of cultural criticism.” —Susan Cain, co-founder
of Quiet Revolution and bestselling author of Quiet
“What happens when you don't get married? Setting out to answer this question, Kate Bolick has written a
moving, insightful, and important inquiry into how women's lives are narrated—not just in poems, novels,
biographies, and memoirs, but also in our own heads, every day, as we make the constant stream of decisions
that constitute a human life. Ambitious in the best way, Spinster made me think differently about everything
from novelistic plot to the meaning of furniture.”—Elif Batuman, author of The Possessed
“[A] powerful memoir…Bolick’s intense and moving combination of personal, historical, and cultural narratives
will inspire readers—especially women—to think about what they want their own lives to be, and how close
they are to their goals.”
—Publishers Weekly [starred]
“Refreshingly bold and incisive… As Bolick traces her evolution into a woman unapologetic for her choices and
unafraid of her own personal freedom, she also reclaims the derogatory word ‘spinster’ for all females, married
or not… A sexy, eloquent, well-written study/memoir.” –Kirkus Reviews [starred]

AVENUE OF SPIES
A True Story of Terror, Espionage, and One American Family's Heroic Resistance
in Nazi-Occupied Paris
Alex Kershaw
August 2015
Rights: World
The best-selling author of The Liberator brings to life the incredible true story of
an American doctor in Paris, and his heroic espionage efforts during the World
War II.
The leafy Avenue de Foch, one of the most exclusive residential streets in Nazi-occupied France, was Paris's
hotbed of daring spies, murderous secret police, amoral informers, and Vichy collaborators. So when American
physician Sumner Jackson, who lived with his wife and young son Phillip at number 11, found himself drawn
into the Liberation network of the French resistance, he knew the stakes were impossibly high. Just down the
road at number 31 was the "mad sadist" Theodor Dannecker, an Eichmann protégé charged with deporting
French Jews to concentration camps. And number 84 housed the Parisian headquarters of the Gestapo, run
by the most effective spy hunter in Nazi Germany.
From his office at the American Hospital, itself an epicenter of intrigue, Jackson smuggled fallen Allied fighter
pilots out of France, a job complicated by the hospital director's close ties to collaborationist Vichy. After
witnessing the brutal round-up of his Jewish friends, Jackson invited Liberation to operate out of his home--but
the noose soon began to tighten. When his secret life was discovered by his Nazi neighbors, he and his family
were forced to undertake a journey into the dark heart of the war-torn continent from which there was little
chance of return. Drawing upon a wealth of primary source material and extensive interviews with Phillip
Jackson, Alex Kershaw re-creates the City of Light during its darkest days. The untold story of the Jackson
family anchors the suspenseful narrative, and Kershaw dazzles readers with the vivid immediacy of the best
spy thrillers. Awash with the tense atmosphere of World War II's Europe, Avenue of Spies introduces us to the
brave doctor who risked everything to defy Hitler.

February 2015
Rights: World
MOVIE RIGHTS OPTIONED BY PLAN B PRODUCTIONS FOR BRAD PITT TO STAR
“An extraordinary Möbius strip of a book...Autobiography, biography, science, history and literature all in one,
as instructive as any textbook and utterly impossible to put down...The text of Dr. Baird’s manuscript is
haunting. The tone is one a suspense writer might struggle to sustain: The most unreliable of narrators, Dr.
Baird is objective, charming, humorous, then suddenly just a little off, and then flat-out gone, leaving an
irrational stranger in his place. The reader can almost watch the circuits in his brain surge and dim just as, Ms.
Baird reports, the handwriting in the manuscript morphed from disciplined to disorderly and back again.”
—The New York Times
“Extraordinary...a remarkably eloquent account of mental illness, reminiscent of Kay Redfield Jamison’s An
Unquiet Mind and Susanna Kaysen’s Girl, Interrupted. Perry Baird emerges as thoughtful and at times eerily
aware of his condition as well as his inability to elude either its symptoms or the primitive treatments for
them…The elder Baird’s narrative is cinematic, featuring Ratched-like nurses and an escape scene straight out
of The Fugitive... [Dr. Baird] never really knew his daughter — or her achievement in telling this story.”
—The Washington Post
“Baird’s lonely, angry, grief-stricken, and occasionally grandiose account of his illness and its shattering costs
is the reason we can’t put [this book] down. His sharply detailed recollections are sometimes sane and
sometimes not, but his writing is lucid even when his thinking isn’t. His manuscript is a plea to understand his
experience and, by extension, others’.”

A Cyberattack, A Nation Unprepared, Surviving The Aftermath
Ted Koppel
October 2015
Rights: World
America's most trusted broadcast journalist uncovers the deadly threat of cyber warfare
and offers solutions for how we can prepare.
When we think of cyber security, many of us think about identity theft or perhaps denial
of service attacks. What we don't think about is the water we drink, the electricity we rely
on to power everything from subway trains to lifesaving hospital equipment, and the
phone and internet systems that serve as vital lifelines in an emergency. One well-placed
cyber attack could cripple our infrastructure to a degree that would dwarf natural disasters like Hurricane
Sandy- and Koppel convincingly argues that this is not a question of if but when.
Drawing on interviews with cyber security experts and others, Koppel demonstrates that we are completely
unprepared for dealing with a cyber attack and offers solutions for how we can plan for this inevitability, both on
the national and the individual level.

BRAVING IT
James Campbell
May 2016
Rights: World English
Agent: McCormick & Williams
Alaska's Arctic National Wildlife Refuge--home to only a handful of people--is a
stark and lonely place. So when Jim Campbell's cousin Heimo Korth asked him to
spend a summer building a cabin on the remote tundra, Jim hesitated before
inviting his fifteen-year-old daughter, Aidan. When the two finally arrived, he
hovered, unsure of whether she could endure clouds of mosquitoes, the everpresent threat of grizzlies, and hours of chopping and hauling logs. But Aidan was
eager to experience the wild, and they returned a few months later to help Heimo
secure food for the winter. With wind chills dipping to 50 degrees below zero,
Aidan and Heimo's Siberian Yupik Eskimo wife ventured out each day to hunt-tracking, trapping, shooting, and skinning animals. Aidan grew confident and independent, at least within the
confines of Heimo's property. Could she handle more?
Jim knew that in Eskimo cultures, fathers believe that girls, too, deserve a rite of passage. And so in the spring
of 2014, Jim and Aidan returned to Alaska for a final journey together before she left home. They backpacked
over Alaska's northernmost mountains, the Brooks Range, to the headwaters of the mighty Hulahula River,
where they assembled a folding canoe and paddled to the Arctic Ocean. The journey took them through one of
the planet's most remote places, a land of wolves, musk oxen, Dall sheep, golden eagles, and desperately
hungry bears. It was an arduous trip, one that tested them--and their relationship-- as never before.
At turns poignant and humorous, Braving It is an ode to America's disappearing wilderness and a profound
meditation on what it means for a parent to finally, fully let go. (1 8-PAGE 4/C INSERT)

WHAT HAPPENED, MISS SIMONE?
The Nina Simone Diaries
Alan Light
November 2015
Rights: World
An intimate and vivid look inside Nina Simone's legendary life as a fiery singer,
demanding mother, and tirelessly committed civil rights activist, told using
previously buried material from the Netflix/Radical Media documentary What
Happened, Miss Simone?
From music journalist and former Spin and Vibe editor-in-chief Alan Light comes a biography of incandescent
soul icon and activist Nina Simone, drawn from a trove of rare archival materials, including Simone's
remarkable private diaries, published alongside Radical Media's much buzzed-about documentary of the same
name, which debuted to great acclaim at Sundance in January 2015 and will premiere on Netflix this summer.
What Happened, Miss Simone? explores the many facets of this complicated and gifted woman, excavating
her lifelong passion for classical music and painful rejection from that field, along with her soaring success as a
soul singer and the stresses put upon her as an African American pushing against the tide of racial
discrimination in civil rights battles. Harnessing the singular voice of Miss Simone herself through her private
correspondence and incorporating candid reflections from those who knew her best, including her only
daughter, Light brings us face to face with a legend, examining the very public persona and very private
struggles of one of our greatest artists. (8-PAGE COLOR INSERT)
The American premiere for the Netflix/Radical Media documentary of the same name will be in the week
of June 1st in New York and Los Angeles. The European premiere will take place two weeks later in
Paris and London, and potentially one or two other cities. It will go live on Netflix globally on June 26th.

From Mindy Kaling, the author of the mega-bestseller Is Everyone Hanging Out
Without Me? and creator and star of The Mindy Project, comes a highly
anticipated second book of hilarious essays, opinions, concerns, and advice.
Since the publication of her much-loved first book, Mindy Kaling's life has changed
significantly. Back then, she played Kelly Kapoor, a supporting character on the popular
series, The Office. Now Mindy is the creator, producer, writer, and star of her own TV
show, The Mindy Project. She is, as she puts it, "a tiny bit famous," the perks of which include being three
assistants, two phones calls and a really good lie away from obtaining Bradley Cooper's e-mail address and
having convicts writing her fan mail from prison. She's gone through some other major changes as well--she's
watched friends start their own families, and she's grappled with her own balance of work and private life.
Mindy turns the anxieties, the glamour, the heartache, and the celebrations of her second coming of age into a
laugh-out-loud funny collection of essays that anyone who's ever been at a turning point in their life or career
can relate to. And those who've never been at a turning point can skip to the parts where she talks about
meeting Bono, encountering Elmo, what kind of snacks they have at a Vogue photo shoot, and what you
should carry in your purse when you go to the State Dinner honoring the president of France. (B&W PHOTOS)

PARTY OF ONE
A Memoir in 20 Songs
Dave Holmes
May 2016
Rights: World
From comedian, Esquire columnist, and former MTV VJ Dave Holmes, the hilarious
coming-of-age memoir of a music geek and perpetual outsider fumbling towards selfacceptance, with the music of the 80s, 90s, and 00s as his soundtrack
Dave Holmes has spent his life on the periphery, nose pressed hopefully against the
glass, wanting just one thing: to get inside. Growing up, he was the artsy kid in the
sportsy family. At his high school and Catholic college, he was the closeted gay kid surrounded by crushworthy straight guys. In his twenties, in the middle of a disastrous career in advertising, he accidentally became
an MTV VJ overnight when he finished second, naturally, in the Wanna Be a VJ contest, opening the door to
fame, fortune, and celebrity--well, almost. But despite all the close calls, or possibly because of them, he just
kept trying, whether as the quirky, grown man presiding over the teen pop hurricane, the music lover working
at a station more focused on the "T" than the "M" or "V," or the overweight guy trying to take on the LA
entertainment scene. And if (spoiler alert) he never quite succeeded, at least he got some good stories out of
it.
In PARTY OF ONE, Dave tells the hilariously painful and painfully hilarious tales--in the vein of Rob Sheffield,
Andy Cohen, Paul Feig, Nick Hornby, and even Augusten Burroughs--of an outsider desperate to get in, of a
misfit constantly changing shape, of a guy who finally learns to accept himself--and how music and pop culture
of the 80s, 90s, and 00s shaped his journey. (10-15 B/W PHOTOS THROUGHOUT)

TESTIMONY
A Rock 'n' Roll Life
Robbie Robertson
October 2015
Rights: World
A spellbinding memoir from one of rock's greatest storytellers
Robbie Robertson's singular contributions to popular music have made him one of the
most beloved songwriters and guitarists of all time. But few could have expected that a
young Canadian would pen some of this past century's most distinctively American
songs, music that seems soaked in the mythology and traditions of the Old South. With
songs like "The Weight," "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down," and "Up on Cripple Creek," Robertson and
his partners in the Band introduced a new popular music lexicon that has endured for decades, influencing
countless musicians and styles.
In this remarkable memoir of the group's storied career, Robertson weaves together tales of his half-Jewish,
half-Mohawk Indian upbringing in Toronto with his rollicking early years on the road with rockabilly legend
Ronnie Hawkins; he recalls the slow formation of the Band as each future member joined Hawkins's backing
band, their trial-by-fire supporting Bob Dylan on his 1966 world tour, and the cloistered sessions at the
legendary "Big Pink" house in Saugerties, New York, that produced The Basement Tapes and forged the
group's unique sound. He recounts being catapulted to fame with the success of their groundbreaking debut,
and takes us through the astonishing run of albums that culminated in one of music history's most famous
farewell concerts, The Last Waltz.
More broadly, this is the story of a time and place--the moment when rock 'n' roll crawled out of the swamps
and became life, when electric blues legends like Muddy Waters and Otis Rush crisscrossed the circuit of
clubs and roadhouses from Texas to Toronto. It's the story of change, as America tumbled through the 60s and
figures like Dylan and the Band redefined both music and culture, with a little help from sex and drugs. And it's
the story of the profound friendship between five young men who together would create a new kind of popular
music, one that still fascinates us. (2 8-PAGE 4C INSERTS)

OTIS REDDING
An Unfinished Life
Jonathan Gould
March 2016
Rights: World
A definitive biography that masterfully captures the turbulent, colorful, and littleknown life of the man many call the heart of soul music in the '60s--his demons,
his loves, and his battles for success, all among the great social changes in 1960s
America.
Otis Redding's incredible career was cut short when he died in a plane crash at the age
of 26. Yet his brief life was meaningful because of the reach of his music and the popularity of his songs.
Jonathan Gould, who set out to write a definitive history of American soul music, was quickly captivated by Otis
Redding in his research. Gould recognized that as much as anyone, even more than well-known singers like
James Brown, it was really Redding around whom so much of the world of soul revolved. Redding was the
"head" of the Memphis soul family, which included Sam and Dave, Wilson Pickett, and Booker T and MG's, a
group that stood apart from the Detroit-based Motown singers. Influenced more by gospel and southern
culture, the Memphis group struggled at times to compete with Motown, but their impact was nonetheless
profound.
Redding, a complicated and charismatic man, was ambitious without boundaries. He achieved his highest
accomplishment by closing out the Monterey Pop Festival on the Saturday night before his death. In this book,
Gould explores the full reach of Redding's influence, highlighting not only how significant his success was
personally, but also how deeply it shifted cultural mores and expectations in a decade of tumult. Otis Redding
traces the career arc of the soul pioneer, from his childhood in Georgia to playing with Little Richard's backup
band in his youth. Gould deftly moves through Redding's rise in popularity to his chart-topping successes
("Sittin' on the Dock of the Bay," "Try a Little Tenderness," and his writing of "Respect," later made iconic by
Aretha Franklin) and goes on to explore Redding's lasting legacy in this eagerly anticipated look at the times
and unfinished life of the "King of Soul."
JONATHAN GOULD is a writer and a former professional musician who studied with the eminent jazz
drummer Alan Dawson and spent many years working in bands and recording studios. In addition to writing
and playing music, Gould has raised a family, served in local politics, and taken an active role in the life of the
upstate New York community where he has lived for the past twenty-five years. He currently divides his time
between New York City and Willow, New York.

THIS IS YOUR BRAIN ON SPORTS
Jon Wertheim and Sam Sommers
February 2016
Rights: World
Written by Sports Illustrated Executive editor and bestselling author Jon Wertheim, and
Tufts psychologist Sam Sommers, THIS IS YOUR BRAIN ON SPORTS takes readers
inside the behavioral science and psychology of athletics and professional sports, from
the athletes on the field to the coaches who train and motivate them, revealing the
hidden influences and surprising cues that inspire and sometimes derail us.
In THIS IS YOUR BRAIN ON SPORTS, Jon Wertheim, bestselling coauthor of
Scorecasting (with Toby Moskowitz) and You Can't Make This Up (with Al Michaels), teams up with Tufts
psychologist and acclaimed author Sam Sommers (Situations Matter), to take readers behind the scenes of the
world of sports to show us why athletes (and commentators) so often resort to war metaphors to describe what
they do on the field and on the court; how athletes are able to put aside the death of loved ones and other
traumatic losses on game day --and why they often perform better in the face of such tragedy; why athletes
choke under pressure; how neuroscience can help to explain why sports fans love to root for a loser, thanks to
"effort justification;" the power of self handicapping in inspiring performance; and how the certainty of a finish
line can lift you to overcome your physical limits.
A fascinating journey into the psychology, behavioral science and latest findings on athletic performance, THIS
IS YOUR BRAIN ON SPORTS promises to be THE book for sports fans of all backgrounds on better
understanding how athletes win and lose.
JON WERTHEIM is the executive editor of the most respected and popular sports publication in America. In
addition to his encyclopedic knowledge of the professional sports world, he is the author of such New York
Times bestsellers as Scorecasting and You Can’t Make This Up. SAM SOMMERS is an award-winning

THE BILLIONAIRE’S VINEGAR: The Mystery Of The World’s Most Expensive Bottle Of
Wine starts in 1985, when a Forbes family member paid $156,000 at auction for a bottle of 1787 Chateau
Lafite Bordeaux, which Christie’s of London billed as part of a Jefferson cache discovered in France. The wine
was supplied by Hardy Rodenstock, a music manager-turned-wine dealer who somehow unearthed several
bottles of old wine. After paying $500,000 for the Jefferson bottles, billionaire Bill Koch paid twice that for an
investigation to confirm their origins and then sued Rodenstock. The title comes from the peculiar fact that
collectors spend tons of money for wine they will never drink or even open.

GOOD PROFIT
How Creating Value for Others Built One of the World's Most Successful
Companies
Charles G. Koch
October 2015
Rights: World
In 1967, Charles Koch took the reins of his father's company and began the process of
growing it from a $21 million company into a global corporation with revenues of about
$115 billion, according to Forbes.
So how did this MIT engineer manage to grow Koch Industries into one of the largest private companies in the
world? Through his unique five-dimensional management process and system called Market-Based
Management. Based on five decades of cross-disciplinary studies, experimental discovery, and practical
implementation across Koch companies and their 100,000 employees worldwide, the core objective of MarketBased Management's framework is as simple as it is effective: to generate good profit.
What is good profit? Good profit results when a company creates value for customers in a way that helps them
improve their lives. Good profit is the result of innovations that customers freely vote for with their own dollars;
it's the result of business decisions that create long term value for everyone--customers, employees,
shareholders, and society.
While you won't find the Koch Industries name on your home's stain-resistant carpet, your baby's more
comfortable but absorbent diapers, your stretch denim jeans, or your television with a better clarity screen,
MBM(TM) drove these innovations and many more. Drawing on stories from his five decades in business,
Koch walks the reader step-by-step through the five dimensions of Market-Based Management to show
stockholders, entrepreneurs, leaders, students -- and innovators, supervisors and employees of all kinds, in
any field --how to apply the principles to generate Good Profit in companies, and lives.
GOOD PROFIT will join the ranks of other management classics like Execution, The 5th Discipline and Six
Sigma. Charles Koch is one of the great management minds of our time – a corporate titan on par with the
likes of Andy Grove, Jack Welch, and Alan Mullalay. His wisdom will be widely sought after by managers,
executives, and ambitious individuals wishing to replicate even a fraction of his tremendous success.
Koch Industries has a presence in over 60 countries including Brazil, Japan, Korea, Spain, Latin America,
Germany, France and the Netherlands.
Charles G. Koch is chairman of the board and CEO of Koch Industries, Inc., He holds a bachelor's degree in
general engineering as well as two master's degrees in nuclear and chemical engineering from MIT. Based in
Wichita, Kansas, Koch Industries, Inc. is one of the largest private companies in America.

When Chris Guillebeau toured more than fifty cities on five continents to promote his two
previous New York Times bestselling books, he noticed that readers all over the world
had some version of the same question: "I love all these stories about people finding
their dream job or career, but how do I figure out what my dream career is?" Finding the
answer to that question is what this book is about.
In BORN FOR THIS, mega-bestselling author of the $100 Start-Up returns to his fan base with the practical
business book his readers have been waiting for, offering readers a step-by-step guide for finding the work
that feels so "right," it feels like they were born to do it, whether by launching a side hustle that turns a
passion into a profitable business; by finding a dream position within a traditional organization; by fashioning
an entirely new self-styled profession around all one's many varied interests, or by “hacking" an existing humdrum job into work you love.
There are certain people out there who seem to have won the career lottery. To the outside observer, at least,
it seems that by some stroke of good luck or divine intervention, the type of work they do best also just
happens to be the work they most love to do. But in reality, their good fortune didn't come about by chance.
There's an actual method for finding the job you love so much it doesn't even feel like work - and getting paid
well to do it. This book will show you how.

THE PRODUCTIVITY PROJECT
Managing Your Time, Attention, and Energy Better
Chris Bailey
March 2016
Rights: World
This book is the result of the author's year-long investigation into how to be more
productive at work and in every facet of your life. It is a journey that Chris Bailey
chronicled in a blog he created called A Year of Productivity.
Chris Bailey has been fascinated with the subject of productivity since he was a
teenager. While pursuing his business degree in college, he researched every paper
and read every book available on the topic. After graduation, he embarked on a year-long productivity project,
interviewing many of the world’s foremost gurus in the field, from Charles Duhigg to David Allen, while
conducting a series of productivity experiments on himself, from getting by on little sleep, to waking up at 5:30
every morning for a month, from avoiding caffeine and sugar to working 90 hours a week, and monitoring the
impact of each experiment on his productivity. He created a blog at the beginning of the project, with exactly
zero followers. But as people heard about the project, and read his blog, his traffic grew exponentially, so that
by the end of the year he had over 250,000 unique visitors a month.
Among the many counterintuitive insights Chris writes about in the book are removing or shrinking the
unimportant; the rule of three; striving for imperfection; scheduling less time for important tasks; the 20 second
rule to distract yourself from distractions, and the concept of productive procrastination. He offers over 30 best
practices that will help every one of us to accomplish more.
Chris Bailey has grown his blog to over 250,000 unique visitors a month over the past year. His work has

GRIT TO GREAT
How Perseverance, Passion, and Pluck Take You from Ordinary to Extraordinary
Linda Kaplan Thaler and Robin Koval
September 2015
Rights: World
Journalist Paul Tough wrote about grit in his hugely successful bestselling book How
Children Succeed, drawing in part on the research of a psychologist at the University of
Pennsylvania, Angela Duckworth. And Angela Duckworth won a MacArthur genius
award for her research into how and why children succeed, based on determination,
perseverance, and resiliency and grit. And recently, Professor Duckworth’s own
proposal on Grit had over a dozen publishers bidding for the book. Grit, it is clear, is in. And we have the book
on Grit–the accessible, everyperson book on the subject.
Not everyone is blessed with exceptional intelligence, or wins the gene lottery. But the good news is that you
can excel beyond your wildest dreams in your career and your personal life--success is within your grasp-through the right attitude and determination. Written in the same 144 page, small format trim size that made
The Power of Nice so successful, GRIT TO GREAT combines terrific storytelling, with the practical insights that
make grit so powerful, in the classroom and in the boardroom, in our personal lives and in our careers.
What GRIT TO GREAT shows is the most powerful predictor of success is our sense of grit–the long hours
and hard work and focused attention that we bring to a project or job or relationship. And that is a very
empowering message. In other words, the fact that you’re not a member of Mensa, or you didn’t go to an elite
college, or you don’t have the right family history or social connections, or other things you can’t control, isn’t
what matters the majority of the time. What does matter is how hard you work, and how well you practice and
persevere. And that is something each one of us does control.
Whether you are an entry-level new hire or a seasoned veteran eager to advance your career, GRIT TO
GREAT offers a wealth of strategies and research on how to turn potential into performance, and how to
compete--and win--against anyone, no matter how smart or connected they may be. It turns out there is a
secret to success--and it's one each and every one of us has complete control over. This book shows you how
to really get ahead. So, let's get to work.

FRIEND AND FOE
When to Cooperate, When to Compete, and How to Succeed at Both
Adam D. Galinsky and Maurice E. Schweitzer
September 2015
Rights: World
Two of the most respected scholars on success explain how you can get along and get ahead. Their guided
tour of how to cooperate and how to compete is authoritative, entertaining, and eminently practical!
-Angela Duckworth, University of Pennsylvania, author of Forthcoming book, Grit
“Galinsky and Schweitzer are star researchers and teachers. Here they use their talents to bring order to the
often contradictory research on when to cooperate and compete, and they distill their insights into practical tips
that anybody can use.” --Chip Heath, co-author Made to Stick and Switch.
The question of whether people achieve the best outcomes in life by being fiercely competitive, or
fundamentally cooperative, has fueled a fierce debate throughout history and inspired many bestselling books.
Some, from Adam Smith's Wealth of Nations to Dawkins' The Selfish Gene, argue that acting out our own self
interest is the best and the only way to get ahead in work and life. On the other end of the spectrum, Frans De
Waal's The Age of Empathy and Adam Grant's recent bestseller Give and Take have argued that cooperation
and altruism are the right tools for personal and professional success. In FRIEND AND FOE, award-winning
researchers Adam D. Galinksy and Maurice E. Schweitzer explain why this debate misses the mark.
Whether we're negotiating with our boss for a raise or promotion, brokering a major business deal with a client
or customer, or wrangling with our spouse over who will do the dishes, we all encounter countless situations
daily that prompt the question "should I behave cooperatively and try to catch more flies with honey than
vinegar, or stop being a pushover and fight ruthlessly to get what I want?" The problem is this very choice is
flawed, argue the Columbia and Wharton Business School professors. Focusing only on how humans
cooperate overlooks our hardwired instinct to compete; focusing only on how humans preserve their selfinterest misses important insights into the social advantages of cooperation. It is only by appreciating how
humans strike the right balance between the two that we can learn how to get more out of our most important
relationships and social interactions - and optimize our success in work and outside of it.
In FRIEND AND FOE, Galinsky and Schweitzer draw on original, cutting edge research to show how to strike a
balance between competition and cooperation. Humans perform at their very best when cooperation and
competition are held in the appropriate balance. This book is a guide for improving that balance by learning
when to cooperate as a friend and when to compete as a foe - and how to be more effective at both.
Adam Galinsky is a Professor of Business at the Columbia Business School. Maurice Schweitzer is a
Professor of Operations and Information Management at the Wharton School at the University of
Pennsylvania.

Tommy Spaulding
October 2015

In THE HEART-LED LEADER, motivational speaker and former CEO Tommy Spaulding, bestselling author of
It's Not Just Who You Know, tackles the subject of principled leadership, pointing out that who you are--the
values and principles that guide your life and shape you as a leader--is far more important than what your title
is or what trophies or ribbons you have on your bookshelf.
In his first book It's Not Just Who You Know (#2 on the New York Times bestseller list), former CEO of Up with
People talked about the power of relationships in getting ahead in life, stating that the secret to achieving our
full potential is to reach out for the support, insight, and influence of others. In his new book, Spaulding turns
his focus to ourselves--to who we are. Genuine heart-led leadership, he says--the kind of leadership that leads
to transformational organizations--is based on what Spaulding calls the five Who Leader qualities--humility,
vulnerability, transparency, empathy, and love. And over the course of this compelling and deeply personal
book, illustrated with stories from some of the exceptional leaders Tommy has met and worked with over the
years, he unpacks what those qualities mean, talks about the eighteen inch journey from the head to the heart-from our intellect to our emotions--and shows how to incorporate them into our careers, into our management
and leadership skills, and into our lives.
Tommy Spaulding founded the Leader's Challenge (the largest high school civic and leadership program in
Colorado) and for three years was the CEO of Up with People, one of the largest leadership nonprofit
organizations in the world. Recently, he started Spaulding Companies, a consulting firm.

Much like the 4-Hour Workweek and Lean In redefined a successful work life,
and Thrive, gave us a new metric for measuring a successful life, WELLTH
steps off from these great shoulders to show readers how to let go of material
success as we’ve known it and cultivate a sense of abundance in all areas of
life.
Life Balance, health and wellbeing is the new success for mindful millennials: WELLTH is the new measure
and metric. The original English word for wealth, was welthe, which combined ‘well’ and ‘health.’ This book
and its movement will provide a roadmap for returning to the original meaning.
In thematic essays, MindBodyGreen founder, Jasob Wachob, tells his own story of how a heavy-drinking, frat
boy who made his first million on Wall Street awakened to his own quest for healing and spiritual connection. A
debilitating injury led him to yoga, heartbreak allowed him to find the love of his life, and entrepreneurial failure
led him to finally create a business that spoke to his heart as well as his head.
Jason’s lessons alternate between moving narratives and lighthearted
short-takes, to new tips, interviews, and stories from popular
contributors, many of them bestselling authors: such as psychologist
Sue Johnson and integrative doctor Lissa Rankin; ultra-marathoner
Rich Roll; and yoga phenoms Kathryn Budig and Tara Stiles.

"Conscious uncoupling is divorcing without being a jerk. The leader in conscious uncoupling [is] Katherine
Woodward Thomas." --New York magazine
Katherine Woodward Thomas is a highly respected relationship expert and the bestselling author of Calling in
the One, which remains one of Harmony’s top selling backlist titles. She also coined the term and method for

What is CONSCIOUS UNCOUPLING? It is a breakup or divorce that is characterized by good will, generosity,
and respect. And it’s a book for anyone who has ever experienced a bad break up--girlfriend, boyfriend, friend,
boss, employee, husband, wife--and want to try another way. It's well past time we became more grown-up
and less damaging in how we dissolve relationships...but without the proper tools, it's also pretty hard not to 'go
there.' Katherine provides those tools and has been teaching the 5-step program upon which this book is built
for over 5 years now.
Katherine has worked with more than 200,000 people throughout the world in her live and virtual courses; Her
paid online programs have more than 20,000 graduates and more than 500,000 people from 100 countries
have attended her free seminars, and her brand and message are regularly exposed to millions.
Katherine Woodward Thomas is a licensed psychotherapist, co-creator of the Calling in The One online
courses, creator of the conscious uncoupling five-step process to recover from a breakup or divorce, and the
cofounder of the Feminine Power Global Community, a thriving learning community serving thousands of

LEAP WITHOUT A NET
Leaving a Job with No Plan B, Finding Yourself and the Career You Really Want
Tess Vigeland
August 2015
Rights: World
Until recently, Tess Vigeland was the longtime host of a daily radio program covering business and economic
news. It was a rewarding, high-status job, and she was very good at it. But Tess had begun to feel restless.
And so without any definite, clear sense of what she wanted to do next (but an absolute certainty that what she
was doing was no longer satisfying), Tess walked away from a job that many of us would have killed for, and
into a vast unknown.
For the multitude of people who change jobs mid-career (by choice or circumstance), the growing legions of
freelance workers, and the entrepreneurially minded who see self-employment as an increasingly more
appealing option, Tess has written LEAP WITHOUT A NET -- a personal and well-researched account of her
experience leaving the security of a so-called “dream job” and recalibrating her notion of what makes us
important, what makes us valuable, and what role our work plays in both.
Tess is not one of the hordes of self-help authors promising an easy path to success. Rather, she questions
the way our society defines success to begin with. Does the relentless pressure to be extraordinary actually
lead people to happiness? And if not, is there a better way?
LEAP WITHOUT A NET was inspired by the standing-ovation talk that Tess gave to over 3,000 people at Chris
Guillebeau’s World Domination Summit. It is an honest look at the fear, uncertainty, and risk that are all
involved in leaving the traditional workforce, but also the excitement, promise, and potential that are on the
other side.
Tess Vigeland was the host of NPR's Marketplace from 2006 to 2012. She now spends her days pursuing
what matters to her--speaking, writing, connecting her fans, and gardening. She remains a media-savvy, wellconnected author. She has more than 7,000 Twitter followers and over a thousand Facebook fans. Since
leaving her position on Marketplace, she has hosted Weekend All Things Considered, America Abroad, To the
Point, Take Two (at KPCC-LA), and Which Way, L.A.? (at KCRW-LA). She has also written for the New York
Times, Forbes, and AOL.

THE OTHER DOOR
What You Didn't Know About The World Hereafter
George Anderson
February 2016
Rights: World
For more than forty years, spiritual medium George Anderson has been able to bridge the world
of
the
hereafter and the earth, through his ability to communicate messages of hope from those who passed on.
Since the age of six, Anderson has had a special relationship with what he calls “the souls” who depend on his
ability to hear them and bring peace and comfort to their grieving families. The author of two New York Times
bestsellers including Lessons from the Light, is widely considered by those in the medical, scientific and
religious fields, to be the world’s greatest living medium.
In this new book, Anderson collects the wisdom of the dearly departed, who now see with perfect clarity, into
twelve time-honored principles to help us navigate the most important and critical times in our lives. Lessons
include, mind your own business; how to read the body language of heaven; laugh and fail more; to look for the
light, follow the moon; and others.
Many of us are spiritually near-sighted. We can only see what’s right in front of our eyes. THE OTHER DOOR
will provide us with metaphorical corrective lenses. For those who were inspired by the hopeful message of
Proof of Heaven, George Anderson, the medium who defined this genre in the late 20th century, will show
simply and practically that Heaven isn’t just an idea but a reality in the here and now.
George Anderson is the first medium in history to appear regularly on a cable television show, the first
medium to gain international exposure for his extraordinary ability, and the only living medium to have been
invited to Holland by surviving members of the family of Anne Frank, and remains the most scientifically tested
medium on Earth. He’s the New York Times bestselling author of Walking in the Garden of Souls and Lessons
from the Light.

THE SURRENDER EXPERIMENT
My Journey into Life's Perfection
Michael A. Singer
June 2015
Rights: World
From the author of the New York Times #1 bestseller The Untethered Soul comes this
thought-provoking, inspirational memoir on the magic that happens when you just let go.
Spirituality is meant to bring about harmony and peace. But the diversity of our
philosophies, beliefs, concepts, and views about the soul often leads to confusion. To
reconcile the noise that clouds spirituality, Michael Singer combines accounts of his own
life journey to enlightenment--from his years as a hippie-loner to his success as a
computer program engineer to his work in spiritual and humanitarian efforts--with lessons on how to put aside
conflicting beliefs, let go of worries, and transform misdirected desires. Singer provides a road map to a new
way of living not in the moment, but to exist in a state of perpetual happiness.
Michael A. Singer is the author of The Untethered Soul and the founder of a thriving spiritual community in
Florida. He also is the founder of a leading-edge software package that transformed the medical practice
management industry, and a billion dollar public company whose achievements are archived in the
Smithsonian Institution. He was profiled in April 2012 on Oprah's Super Soul Sunday.
Michael Singer's first major book, The Untethered Soul, was published in 2007 by New Harbinger and has now
sold over 325,000 copies in the U.S. alone.

Ancient Secrets to Healing Your Brain and Gut for Spontaneous Weight Loss
Kulreet Chaudhary
January 2016
Rights: World
For fans of Grain Brain, The Plan, The Fast Metabolism Diet, and Ayurvedic medicine, a
new approach to weigh loss and feeling good from an integrative neurologist who
teaches readers how to prime their bodies as well as heal their minds and guts so that
weight loss is spontaneous.
Dr. Chaudhary discovered a beautiful side effect to the eating and lifestyle tools she
gave her brain patients—shedding excess pounds. In THE PRIME, her first book, she shows readers that
weight gain is a result of the body being in a toxic, inflammatory state. If your body is not prepared for weight
loss, you will fight a biochemical uphill battle, and the odds of succeeding are slim. Once you reduce the toxic
load and bolster your natural detoxification systems, the body’s own fat-loss and weight-maintenance systems
kick in.
After priming the body (without giving up anything you love) and making a few additions to your diet, you’ll be
able to shed the weight and transform your health.
Dr. Kulreet Chaudhary is a neurologist, and the Director of Wellspring Health at Scripps Memorial Hospital
and a pioneer in the field of Integrative Medicine. She’s a writer for the Dr. Oz website, and has been featured
in magazines such as Women’s Health and First for Women.

Harnessing the Vast Potential of Your Genome for Optimum Health and Well-Being
Deepak Chopra, M.D., and Rudolph E. Tanzi, Ph.D.
November 2015
Rights: World
Authors of the New York Times bestseller Super Brain mix cutting-edge science and spiritual wisdom
to present a bold new understanding of our genes and how changes in lifestyle can not only benefit
our genetics but help lead us to happier, healthier, and more fulfilling lives.
"You are not simply the sum output of your genome," write Deepak Chopra and Rudy Tanzi, "you are the user
and inventor of your genome." This revolutionary idea is at the heart of the new book from the bestselling duo
behind Super Brain. For years, many have believed that genes were fixed components of our bodies, that we
as individuals were incapable of altering our genetic makeup. Yet, groundbreaking research suggests
something else, that a change in lifestyle and diet can greatly influence our genetic predispositions to diseases
and certain physical and psychological behaviors. Moreover, the adoption of ancient Vedic practices such as
yoga and meditation create genetic mutations which will allow us to lead longer and healthier lives.

WHAT TO EAT WHEN YOU’RE PREGNANT
A Week-by-Week Guide to Support Your Health and Your Baby's Development

June 2015

Pregnancy has traditionally been viewed as a time when women can give in to their food
cravings and not worry about their weight. But new research suggests that the foods
women eat during pregnancy can have a lasting effect on the baby's brain development
and behavior, as well as the mother's waistline. While many books tell women what not
to eat, there are few guides that tell women what to eat while also considering that
hormonal influences during pregnancy can make it difficult to stick to a healthy diet.
More and more women enter pregnancy overweight, gain an unhealthy amount of weight while pregnant, then
struggle to lose the "baby weight" after the baby is born. Drawing on the latest research from the fields of
medicine, nutrition, and psychology, this guide gives moms-to-be a clear understanding of what their bodies
