An unusual coincidence occurred

early one morning at the most

visited war memorial in the United

States as a shaft of sunlight hit one of the 58,282 names on the

Vietnam Veterans Memorial. The

name was Larry Byford.

So begins a unique personal

journey to discover the story of the

name on the wall. Travelling more

than 30,000 miles, from east Texas

to Vietnam, Mark Byford learns about the lasting impact on Larry's

siblings, friends and the comrades

who were there with him on the day

he died in the summer of 1967.

In The Glass Closet, Lord John

seeks to unsettle business leaders by exposing the culture of

homophobia that remains

employees from showing their authentic selves.

9780465031719THE ISLAND OF KNOWLEDGE(Hard Cover)MARCELO GLEISERPERSEUS INTERNATIONALS$46.00 SCI

What lies beyond our Solar

System? What happens when a

star dies? Are there any other

planets like our own? Since ancient times, humans have

searched the skies looking for

answers to these and many

other questions. Using stunning

images and detailed cut-away illustrations, The Universe takes

you on a fascinating journey

through Space and explores

how the Universe was formed,

the evolution of stars, our solar system and beyond!

To be human is to want to know,

but what we are able to observe

is only a tiny portion of what’s

“out there.” In The Island of

Knowledge, physicist Marcelo Gleiser traces our search for

answers to the most fundamental

questions of existence. In so

doing, he reaches a provocative

conclusion: science, the main tool we use to find answers, is

fundamentally limited.

Charles Darwin knew that there

was a significant event in the

history of life that his theory did

not explain. In what is known today as the "Cambrian

explosion," 530 million years

ago many animals suddenly

appeared in the fossil record

without apparent ancestors in earlier layers of rock. In

Darwin's Doubt Stephen C.

Meyer tells the story of the

mystery surrounding this

explosion of animal life--of the Cambrian animals.

Four simple phrases—“Please

forgive me,” “I forgive you,”

“Thank you,” and “I love you”—carry enormous power to mend

and nurture our relationships

and inner lives. These four

phrases and the sentiments

they convey provide a path to emotional wellbeing, guiding us

through interpersonal difficulties

to life with integrity and grace.

9781582704548BE NOBODY(Soft Cover)LAMA MARUTSIMON AND SCHUSTERS$22.00 SH

Contrasting the hi-jacked use

of power symbols in modern

advertising with the vital role of symbols in traditional arts and

crafts, Pennick reveals how

symbols link the cosmic with

the terrestrial and allow us to

infuse the mundane with the numinous.

This follow-up to A Spiritual

Renegade’s Guide to the

Good Life calls for the biggest revolution of all: the overthrow

of our obsessive quest to be

somebody.

Like boardwalk tourists poking their faces through two-

dimensional cutouts of the

muscle man and bathing

beauty, we are all desperately

trying to be somebody, to be “special.” No one wants to be

a loser, a small fry, a big zero.

Stop worrying and start living.

This entirely new approach to

life helps you recognize and release hidden barriers in your

soul that are blocking the way

to true happiness and success.

How many times have you wondered why, no matter how

hard you try, you just can’t keep

a relationship? Can’t stay

healthy? Can’t make enough

money? Can’t find happiness?

Drawing on his more than 40 years of

in-depth study of Indian Philosophy

under the tutelage of his guru, Nitya

Chaitanya Yati, author ScottTeitsworth explores the scientific

approach to self-transformation and

spiritual enlightenment encoded in

Krishna’s advice to Arjuna in the

Bhagavad Gita. Providing a verse-by-verse examination of the first two

chapters, he reveals the Gita’s

lessons to prepare the seeker to

meet and successfully work with a guru--whether an outside teacher or

the intuitive knowledge that arises

from overcoming the psyche’s

learned limitations.

The tenth anniversary edition of

this national bestseller goes

beyond raging hormones and peer pressure to explain why

adolescents act the way they do

can do about it—and it’s now

thoroughly revised and updated to address the issues facing kids

bullying, prescription drug

abuse, stress, and nutrition.

9781451626964ONE AND ONLY (Soft Cover)LAUREN SANDLERSIMON AND SCHUSTERS$22.00 SOC

Journalist Lauren Sandler is an only

child and the mother of one. After

investigating what only children are

really like and whether stopping at one child is an answer to

reconciling motherhood and

modernity, she learned a lot about

herself—and a lot about our

culture’s assumptions. In this heartfelt work, Sandler legitimizes a

discussion about the larger societal

costs of having more than one,

which Jessica Grose in her review

in The New Republic calls, “the vital part of the conversation that’s not

being discussed in the chatter”

surrounding parenting.

Spitz explores the first great

cultural movement since Hip Hop: an old-fashioned and yet

highly modern aesthetic that’s

embraced internationally by

teens, twenty and thirty-

somethings and even some Baby Boomers; creating

hybrid generation known as

Twee. Via exclusive interviews

and years of research, Spitz

traces Generation Twee’sroots from the Post War 50s

to its dominance in popular

culture today.
