Modern French style today is chic, sleek, and fresh—

far from the stuffy, extravagant style associated with

early designs. Author Betty Lou Phillips spotlights

the captivating way the French live today, using

natural materials (such as clay, leather, and bleached

wood), and by the use of handmade tiles, handwoven

baskets, and coveted linens. Through streamlined

silhouettes, strategic use of color, and works of art

that emit a relaxed mood, Phillips shows how the

French aesthetic plays out in tasteful American

homes today.

BETTY LOU PHILLIPS is an interior designer and the award-

winning author of Villa Décor, plus more than a dozen

other home reference titles. A member of the American

Society of Interior Designers, her work has appeared in

Southern Accents, Traditional Home, Decorating, Bedroom

& Bath, Window & Wall, Paint Décor, and more. She has

also appeared on the Oprah Winfrey show. She lives in

Dallas, Texas.

poetry.

America’s first feminists in their unabridged form:

the short story The Yellow Wallpaper, a haunting

interpretation of post-partum depression; the

feminist utopian novel Herland; and Women

and Economics, which when published in 1898

established Gilman as a sociologist, philosopher,

ethicist, and social critic and is considered by many

to be her greatest work.

Louisa May Alcott (1832–1888) published more

than thirty books in her lifetime, but it was her “girls’

story” (written at the request of her publisher), Little

Women, that captured the imagination of millions of

readers.

The coming-of-age story spotlights beloved tomboy

Jo March (arguably America’s first juvenile heroine

and a reflection of a young Alcott herself) and Jo’s

three sisters: Meg, Beth, and Amy in a heartwarming

family drama. Originally published in two parts, in

1868 and 1969, Little Women has never been out of

print.

The Real Dirt on America’s Frontier Legends

The legends of the Wild West won’t tell you that

David Crockett was a congressman, and Daniel

Boone a Virginia legislator. In fact, many of the

frontier stories everyone knows are as tall as the

tale of Paul Bunyan. Thanks to penny dreadfuls, Wild

West shows, sensationalist newspaper stories, and

out-right bragging, what we know of the men and

women of America’s frontier is often more fiction

than fact. Lost in the Wilderness separates fact from

fiction, showing the legends and the evidence side-

by-side to give readers the real story of the old West.

JIM MOTAVALLI writes for The New York Times, CBS

MoneyWatch, NPR’s Car Talk, AOL, Mother Nature

Network and TheDailyGreen.com (Hearst). He is author

or editor of multiple books, including Forward Drive: The

Race to Build Clean Cars for the Future and Naked in the

Woods: Joseph Knowles and the Legacy of Frontier Fakery.

Motavalli is a two-time winner of the Global Media Award

from the Population Institute, and hosts a radio program

on WPKN-FM in Connecticut, with frequent live music. He

Ralph Waldo Emerson’s work changed the

philosophy of the 19th century, and still resonates

with seekers of truth and enlightenment today.

Nature and Other Essays joins Gibbs Smith’s best-

selling Wilderness series. Standing beside the works

of his protégé Henry David Thoreau, as well as John

Muir, Mark Twain, Walt Whitman, and Jack London,

these essays are reissued to encourage and inspire

philosophers, travelers, campers, and contemporary

naturalists.

Essays include “Nature” (1836) and Emerson’s

first series, published in 1841: “History,” “Self-

Reliance,” “Compensation,” “Spiritual Laws,” “Love,”

“Friendship,” “Prudence,” “Heroism,” “The Over-

Soul,” “Circles,” “Intellect,” and “Art.”

RALPH WALDO EMERSON (May 25, 1803–April 27, 1882)

was a famous lecturer, philosopher, poet, and writer.

He led the transcendentalist movement of the 1800s,

mentored Henry David Thoreau, and was a pioneer of

multiculturalism in American writing.

In the presence of nature, a wild

delight runs through the man, in

spite of real sorrows —Ralph Waldo

Emerson, “Nature”

Brazilian icon, Xuxa, captivated the world

in the 1990s with her TV show, “El Show De

Xuxa.” More than 20 million Spanish and

spirited personality continues to inspire us

to this day! This book will delight parents

Your little one will enjoy Xuxa’s wacky, fun,

and magical world. They’ll meet a few of her

her iconic pink spaceship, and dance with

the Paquitas (Pixies), a group of girls who

are always up for a dance battle!
