S TEVEN P INKERThe Sense of StyleThe Thinking Person’s Guide to Writing in the 21st CenturyThe linguist and cognitive scientist creates a usage guide for the 21st century, applying the sciences of language and mind to the challenge of crafting clear, stylish prose. In this short, practical book, Pinker shows how writing depends on imagination, empathy, grammatical knowhow, and an ability to reverse engineer good prose. Using examples of effective and ineffective writing, Pinker replaces dogma about usage with reason and evidence, encouraging students to apply guidelines judiciously rather than robotically. “More contemporary and comprehensive than The Elements of Style, illustrated with comic strips and cartoons and lots of examples of comically bad writing....You can eas-ily see why [Pinker is] one of Harvard’s most popular lecturers.”—The New York TimesPenguin Paperback • 368 pages • 978-0-14-312779-6 • $17.00

ANDREW PETTEGREEBrand Luther: How an Unheralded Monk Turned His Small Town into a Center of Publishing, Made Himself the Most Famous Man in Europe—and Started the Protestant ReformationIn this revolutionary look at Martin Luther and the birth of publishing, historian Pette-gree reveals the Reformation as a story about the spread of ideas by mass-produced books and Luther as the world’s first mass-media figure—its first brand. “Highlights the fruitful interweaving of [Luther’s] skills as a preacher, writer, and publicist and the burgeoning printing industry. Pettegree’s lucid and persuasive account offers...insight into this outstanding early modern example of effective use of communication techniques that allowed Luther’s message to take hold.”—Karin Maag, Calvin College Penguin Press Hardcover • 400 pages • 978-1-59420-496-8 • $29.95

A. O . SCOTTBetter Living Through CriticismHow to Think about Art, Pleasure, Beauty, and TruthDrawing on his own work as well as the long tradition of criticism from Aristotle to Susan Sontag, the New York Times film critic shows how critical thinking informs artistic creation, civil action, and interpersonal life. “An intelligent, informed...account of why we can’t live comfortably with criticism (in any of the word’s meanings), and can’t live without it, either.”—The New York TimesPenguin Press Hardcover • 288 pages • 978-1-59420-483-8 • $28.00

DANIEL SHAP IRONegotiating the NonnegotiableHow to Resolve Your Most Emotionally Charged ConflictsThe Harvard negotiation expert presents a practical method for reconciling contentious relationships between spouses, parents and children, bosses and employees, or even rival communities or nations. Negotiating the Nonnegotiable draws on Shapiro’s research and global fieldwork in consulting to provide a step-by-step guide for overcoming the “Tribe Effect”—the divisive mind-set that arises when conflicts threaten self-identity. “Offers valuable insights for reimagining our approach to conflict resolution at every level—from the interpersonal to the global. Grounded in decades of fieldwork and first-hand experience....Thoughtful.”—Jack DeGioia, Georgetown UniversityViking Hardcover • 336 pages • 978-0-670-01556-6 • $28.00

SHERRY TURKLEReclaiming Conversation: The Power of Talk in a Digital AgeDrawing on five years of research and interviews in homes, schools, and the workplace, renowned media scholar Turkle investigates how a flight from face-to-face conversation in the digital age undermines our relationships, creativity, and productivity—and why reclaiming face-to-face conversation can help us regain lost ground. “Brilliant and incisive….Turkle explains the power of conversation, its fragility at present, the consequences of its loss, and how it can be preserved and reinvigorated.” —Howard Gardner, Harvard University Penguin Press Hardcover • 448 pages • 978-1-59420-555-2 • $27.95

JON RONSONSo You’ve Been Publicly ShamedThe author of The Psychopath Test delivers an incisive critique of modern-day shaming as a form of social control and as a war on human nature and its flaws. “A work of original, inspired journalism, it considers the complex dynamics between those who shame and those who are shamed, both of whom can become the focus of social media’s grotesque, disproportionate judgments.”—Financial Times“[Ronson] has taken on truly consequential material and risen to the challenge. His over-all point is something we already understand: Public shaming in the age of social media has the kind of power that no form of shaming ever had before.”—The New York TimesRiverhead Paperback • 336 pages • 978-1-59463-401-7 • $16.00

DOUGLAS RUSHKOFFThrowing Rocks at the Google BusHow Growth Became the Enemy of ProsperityAlthough digital technology was supposed to usher in a new age of distributed prosper-ity, it has further empowered industrial capitalism. Instead of responding to lopsided returns by throwing rocks at employee shuttle buses, Rushkoff argues, we should do something productive: optimize every aspect of the economy, from central currency and debt to corporations and labor, to create prosperity for businesses and people alike.“We’ve optimized for growth. But have we lost our way? As an economy? As a com-munity? As a society with a value proposition that doesn’t make sense on a human or economic level? Rushkoff asks questions that matter. A challenging and necessary read.” —Sherry Turkle, Massachusetts Institute of TechnologyPortfolio Hardcover • 288 pages • 978-1-61723-017-2 • $28.00

STEPHEN WITTHow Music Got Free: A Story of Obsession and InventionJournalist Stephen Witt traces the history of digital music piracy—from German engi-neers who invented the MP3, to a CD-manufacturing plant where a worker leaked nearly 2,000 albums, to Manhattan high-rises where a music executive cornered the rap market, and, finally, to the dark recesses of the Internet.“The richest explanation to date about how the arrival of the MP3 upended almost ev-erything about how music is distributed, consumed, and stored. It’s a story you may think you know, but Witt brings fresh reporting to bear and complicates things in terrific ways….[How Music Got Free] has the clear writing and brisk reportorial acumen of a Michael Lewis book.”—The New York TimesPenguin Paperback • 304 pages • 978-0-14-310934-1 • $16.00
