ALVAREZ, WALTER
A MOST IMPROBABLE JOURNEY:
A Big History of Our Planet and
Ourselves
Big History, the field that studies the entire known
past of our universe to give context to human existence, has so far been the domain of historians. In A
Most Improbable Journey, geologist Walter Alvarez—
best known for his “Impact Theory” explaining dinosaur extinction—makes a compelling case for a new, science-first approach
to Big History. He brings a scientist’s view to the human story, from the
creation of our universe and our planet, the rise of life, the movement of our
continents and its effect on human migration, to humanity’s ascendance due
to our mastery of Earth’s natural resources. Walter Alvarez is a professor
of geology at the University of California, Berkeley, and the author of the
best-selling T. Rex and the Crater of Doom.

BORJAS, GEORGE J.
WE WANTED WORKERS: Unraveling
the Immigration Narrative
The economic impact of immigration is often viewed
through a narrow lens. To many economists, immigrants are a collection of much-needed workers who
can fill predetermined slots along the proverbial assembly line—always a boon to the host country. But
immigrants are more than just workers; like the rest
of us, they have lives outside the factory gates and are affected by the social
environment in which they live. And those who migrate might not fit the
ideal the receiving country has in mind. In the end, George J. Borjas argues,
immigration is mainly just another government redistribution program—
though often disguised by the volatile political debate it stirs. George J.
Borjas is the Robert W. Scrivner Professor of Economics and Social Policy
at the Harvard Kennedy School. He is the recipient of the 2011 IZA Prize
in Labor Economics.

WEDDING TOASTS I’LL NEVER
GIVE
Inspired by her wildly popular New York Times essay
“The Wedding Toast I’ll Never Give,” Ada Calhoun

portrait of what marriage is really like. Ada Calhoun’s first book, St. Marks
Is Dead, was named a New York Times Editor’s Choice and a Boston Globe Best
Book of the Year. She lives in Brooklyn, New York, with her husband and
son.

FARRELL, PAUL
TUGBOATS ILLUSTRATED:
History • Technology • Seamanship
In Tugboats Illustrated, Paul Farrell traces the
evolution, design, and role of tugboats, ranging from the first steam-powered tug to today’s
hyper-specialized offshore workboats. Through
extensive photographs, dynamic drawings, and enlightening diagrams, he
explores the development of these hard-working boats, always shaped by
the demands of their waterborne environment, by an ever-present element
of danger, and by advancements in technology. Whether tugs are making
impossible turns in small spaces, crashing through huge swells, pushing or
pulling or prodding or coaxing or escorting, we come to understand not
only what tugs do but also how physics and engineering allow them to do
it. Paul Farrell, an architect with a lifelong enthusiasm for tugboats and the
working waterfront, has spent twenty-five years writing and researching his
first book. He lives in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

FINCH, ROBERT
THE OUTER BEACH: A ThousandMile Walk on Cape Cod’s Atlantic Shore
Cape Cod is, in Robert Finch’s poetic phrase, “a cherished face deteriorating in the rain of time.” Nowhere
is this truth more vivid and dramatic than along its
forty miles of Atlantic coast, which Finch has always
known as “the Outer Beach.” The stories here are the
rich harvest of over fifty years and a thousand miles
walking along it. They include encounters with shipwrecks and beached
whales, two nights trapped by a blizzard in a sand-dune shack, and a simple
evening with friends around a bonfire. Robert Finch has lived on Cape Cod
for forty years, currently in Wellfleet, Massachusetts. He is the author of
seven collections of essays.

FINE, CORDELIA
TESTOSTERONE REX: And Other
Myths of Sex, Science, and Society
Cordelia Fine looks closely at the science behind evolution and male hormones to show that any differences
between men and women by nature are quite small and
that it is our culture that inculcates us in varying sex
roles. Reexamining wrongly interpreted research and
drawing on recent and about-to-be-reported experiments, Fine shows that there is little difference in the relationships men and
women want and that, in the past, it has made as much sense evolutionarily
for women, as men, to have multiple partners—and that they did. Cordelia
Fine is associate professor at the Melbourne Business School and Psychological Sciences, University of Melbourne. She is a regular contributor to
the popular media, including the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and

GAIMAN, NEIL
NORSE MYTHOLOGY
Neil Gaiman has long been inspired by ancient
mythology in creating the fantastical realms of his fiction. Now he turns his attention back to the source,
presenting a bravura rendition of the great northern
tales. Gaiman fashions primeval stories into a novelistic arc that begins with the genesis of the legendary nine worlds; delves into the exploits of the deities, dwarves, and giants; and culminates in Ragnarok, the twilight of the
gods and the rebirth of a new time and people. Gaiman stays true to the
myths while vividly reincarnating Odin, the highest of the high, wise, daring, and cunning; Thor, Odin’s son, incredibly strong yet not the wisest of
gods; and Loki, the son of giants, a trickster and unsurpassable manipulator. From Gaiman’s deft and witty prose emerge the gods with their fiercely
competitive natures, their susceptibility to being duped and to dupe others,
and their tendency to let passion ignite their actions, making these long-ago
myths breathe pungent life again. Neil Gaiman is the author of the bestselling Trigger Warnings, The Ocean at the End of the Lane, The Graveyard Book,
Coraline, The Sandman series, and many other works. His fiction has received
Newbery, Carnegie, Hugo, Nebula, World Fantasy, and Will Eisner Awards.
His novel American Gods is being made into a TV miniseries to air in 2017.
Originally from England, he now lives in the United States.

reject potentially devastating chemotherapy and instead choose to “wait for
what will come.” As the following year unfolds, Pia enters a disorienting
world of doctors, medical procedures, and a colorful cast of neighbors and

overturned in federal court, yet he was then held without trial or charge for
another five years. What starts as an account of the brutal official and unofficial justice systems of the Jim Crow South becomes in the hands of historian
S. Jonathan Bass a portrait of both corruption and vice. S. Jonathan Bass is
a professor of history at Samford University in Birmingham, Alabama. He

SHIRLEY JACKSON: A Rather
Haunted Life
Still known to millions only as the author of the “The

literary suspense who plumbed the cultural anxiety
of postwar America better than anyone. Now, biographer Ruth Franklin reveals the tumultuous life and
inner darkness of the author behind such classics as The
Haunting of Hill House and We Have Always Lived in the Castle. Placing Jackson within an American Gothic tradition of Hawthorne and Poe, Franklin
demonstrates how Jackson’s unique contribution to this genre came from
her focus on “domestic horror” drawn from an era hostile to women. Ruth
Franklin is a book critic and frequent contributor to The New Yorker, Harper’s, and many other publications. A recipient of a New York Public Library

SACHS, HARVEY
TOSCANINI: Musician of Conscience
On the 150th anniversary of his birth comes this monumental biography of conductor Arturo Toscanini, whose dramatic life was unparalleled
among twentieth-century musicians. During a 68-year career, Toscanini
(1867–1957) was famed for his fierce dedication, photographic memory,
explosive temper, and impassioned performances. At various times he
dominated La Scala, the Metropolitan Opera, the New York Philharmonic, the NBC Symphony, and the Bayreuth, Salzburg, and Lucerne
festivals. His reforms influenced generations of musicians, and his opposition to Nazism and Fascism made him a model for artists of conscience.
Thanks to unprecedented access to the conductor’s archives, Harvey Sachs
has written a completely new biography that positions Toscanini’s dramatic and sometimes scandalous life and art against the roiling currents of
history, with candid portraits of Verdi, Puccini, Caruso, Geraldine Farrar,
Mussolini, and many others. Harvey Sachs, author and music historian,
has written for The New Yorker, the New York Times, the Times Literary

THE TWENTY DAYS OF TURIN
In the spare wing of a church-run sanitorium, fervent
youths create “the Library,” a space where lonely citizens can read one another’s private diaries and connect
with like-minded types in “dialogues across the ether.”
As Turin suffers a twenty-day “phenonemon of collective psychosis,” climaxing in nighttime massacres,
the Library is shut down and erased from history, until a driven investigator
searches through the city’s netherworld of grotesque and memorable occultists, and to a singular reward for his stubbon curiosity. Written during a
period of domestic terror in Italy in the 1970s, The Twenty Days of Turin
is a mysterious and darkly prescient masterpiece of loneliness, self-absorption, and mass murder inflamed by an apocalyptic experiment in early social
media. Giorgio De Maria (1924–2009) was a novelist, critic, music theorist,
and songwriter. Ramon Glazov is a journalist, critic, and author of fiction.

CINNAMON BUN DREAMS: A Comfort Food
Coloring Book
Rainbow bagels and unicorn cookies meet the color-for-calm craze in a

for the brain, but these images add an element of play that is sometimes missing in adult coloring books. They are by turns surprising and eccentric—a
wall of pie slices resembles something worthy of Wayne Thiebaud; a river
of coffee bobbing with donuts is Willy Wonka-esque; and the influence of
pop artists such as Andy Warhol is visible throughout the 60-plus original
designs. Printed on perforated, heavy paper, these illustrations are a terrific
addition to the coloring book genre.
