GROWING UP MARY

A Memoir of Little House on the Prairie

Melissa Sue Anderson

$22.95 US/$28.95 CAN • World English • Cloth • 6 x 9 • 272 pp 12/CTN • GPP • Biography/Memoir

When other girls her age were experiencing their first crushes, Melissa Sue Anderson was receiving handwritten marriage propos-als from fans as young, and younger, than she was. When other girls were dreaming of their first kiss, Melissa was struggling through hers in front of a camera. From age eleven in 1974 until she left the show in 1981, Melissa Anderson literally grew up before the view-ers of Little House on the Prairie.

Melissa, as Mary, is remembered by many as “the blind sister”—and she was the only actor in the series to be nominated for an Emmy. In Growing Up Mary, she takes readers onto the set and inside the world of the iconic series created by Michael Landon, who, Melissa discovered, was not perfect, as much as he tried to be. In this mem-oir she also shares her memories of working with guest stars like

Todd Bridges, Lou Gossett, Jr., Mariette Hartley, Sean Penn, Patricia Neal, and Johnny Cash.

In addition to stories of life on the set, Melissa offers revealing looks at her relationships off-set with her costars, including the other Melissa (Melissa Gilbert) and Alison Arngrim, who portrayed Nellie Oleson on the show. And she relates stories of her guest appearances on iconic programs such as The Love Boat and The Brady Bunch.

Filled with personal, revealing anecdotes and memorabilia from the Little House years, this book is also a portrait of a child star who became a successful adult actress and a successful adult. These are stories from “the other Ingalls sister” that have never been told.

Melissa Sue Anderson is an Emmy–Award winning actress known to millions for playing Mary Ingalls on the NBC television series Little House on the Prairie, which aired from 1974 to 1983. She played First Lady Megan Hollister in the 2006 miniseries 10.5: Apocalypse. She has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Born and raised in California, she lives in Montreal, Canada, with her husband, television producer and screenwriter Michael Sloan, and their two children.

AN EXCERPT

I spotted Mike across the stage and headed in his direction. My heart was racing, and my stomach was tied up in a huge knot.

“Um . . . Uh . . . Hey, Mike?”He turned, saw me, and smiled. “Hey, darlin’, how ya

doing?”“Uh, well, good . . . I guess.” I was now having trouble

looking him in the eye.“Something on your mind, Missy?”And then, out it came. “Is it true? Are you really going to

make me go blind next season?” I waited for what seemed forever for my answer.

“Yes, Missy, you will be going blind next season.”My heart sank. I felt sick. The tears sprung up and out

before I even had time to digest this news. I couldn’t hold them back. I madly tried to think of something, anything

else, so I would stop crying and not humiliate myself any further.

Just about the time I almost really lost it, Mike said, “Don’t worry, Missy. It’s going to be great. You’ll see.” He gave me a big hug.

“R-r-really?” I sobbed. “You’re not going to write me out?”

“Of course not,” he said. . . .“You have a great future ahead.”

I knew he wasn’t just saying it to make me feel better; he wasn’t that kind of guy. He went on to explain what would happen to Mary, and the show, and how he knew this would be a great opportunity for me. I trusted Mike and chose to accept the wonderful feeling of relief that had come over me.

“A poet with steel in his soul.”—New York Times

“One of the most amazing, heroic stories of this or any other time.”

—Chicago Tribune

“A book filled with the spirit of human dignity and the courage of men seeking freedom.”

—Los Angeles Times

“The Long Walk is a book that I absolutely could not put down and one that I will never forget.”

—Stephen Ambrose, historian and presidential biographer

In 1941, the author and six fellow prisoners of war escaped a Soviet labor camp in Yakutsk—a camp where enduring hunger, cold, untended wounds, and untreated illnesses, and avoiding daily executions were everyday feats. Their march—over thousands of miles by foot—out of Siberia, through China, the Gobi Desert, Tibet, and over the Himalayas to British India is a remarkable statement about man’s desire to be free.

Written in a hauntingly detailed, no-holds-barred way, the book inspired the Peter Wier film The Way Back, due for release in 2011. Previous editions have sold hundreds of thousands of copies, and this updated paperback version includes an afterword written by the author shortly before his death, as well as the author’s fore-word to the book’s Polish edition. This edition of The Long Walk is thus destined to outrank its classic status and guaranteed to forever stay in the reader’s mind.



THE LONG WALK

Six-time Academy Award–nominee Peter Weir (Master and Commander, The Truman Show, and The Dead Poets Society) recently directed The Way Back, a much-anticipated film based on The Long Walk. Starring Colin Farrell, Jim Sturgess, and Ed Harris, it is due for release in 2011.

“One of the epic treks of the human race. . . . History is filled with people who have crossed immense dis-tances and survived despite horrific odds. None of them, however, has achieved the extraordinary feat Rawicz has recorded. . . . His account is so filled with despair and suffering it is almost unreadable. But it must be read—and re-read.”

—Sebastian Junger, author of The Perfect Storm

Slavomir Rawicz (1915–2004) was a Polish soldier arrested by the Soviet occupation troops after the German-Soviet invasion of Poland. He lived in England for many years after the war. He mar-ried an Englishwoman and lived in the countryside until his death. The Long Walk was first appeared in English in 1956, and has been translated into more than two dozen languages.

FORBIDDEN CREATURES

Inside the World of Animal Smuggling and Exotic Pets

Peter Laufer

978-1-59921-926-4 • MAY 2010

$16.95 US/$21.50 CAN • World • Paperback • 6 x 9 • 272 pp • 12/CTN Lyons Press • Nature

On the heels of his acclaimed The Dangerous World of Butterflies, investigative journalist Peter Laufer is back to chronicle his world-wide quest to penetrate the underworld of international animal smuggling. In Forbidden Creatures, Laufer exposes the network of hunters, traders, and customers who constitute this nefarious busi-ness—which, estimated at $10 to $20 billion annually, is second only to illegal drug trafficking in the money it earns criminals.

Laufer asks: What is being smuggled, from where and why? Who is doing the smuggling? Who is doing the buying? What is being done to stop the illegal trading? What future awaits these endangered animals? Taking readers to exotic and often lawless locales, Laufer introduces brazen and dangerous traders and wealthy customers whose greed and mindless self-interest perpetuate what is now a crisis of survival for a growing number of wild species.

Woven throughout with riveting stories from law enforcement officials and federal prosecutors, Forbidden Creatures is a compel-

ling, first-person narrative written in Laufer’s hallmark conversa-tional, entertaining style.

Peter Laufer, PhD, is the author of more than a dozen books, including the widely praised The Dangerous World of Butterflies (Lyons Press); Mission Rejected: U.S. Soldiers Who Say No to Iraq; Wetback Nation: The Case for Opening the Mexican-American Border; and Iron Curtain Rising: A Personal Journey through the Changing Landscape of Eastern Europe. He is the coanchor of The Peter Laufer Show on radio station Green 960 in San Francisco. More about his books, documentary films, and broadcasts, which have won the George Polk, Robert F. Kennedy, Edward R. Murrow, and other awards, can be found at peterlaufer.com.

WILLFUL NEGLECT

The Dangerous Illusion of Homeland Security

Charles Faddis

978-1-59921-906-6 • MARCH 2010

$24.95 US/$31.95 CAN • World • Hardcover • 6 x 9 • 224 pp 12/CTN • Lyons Press • Current Events

A top veteran CIA operative scrutinizes Homeland Security—with terrifying results

The Central Intelligence Agency’s most respected former Middle East counterterrorism officer applies a critical lens to the state of America’s Homeland Security system and asks, “Are we really any safer than we were on 9/11?” Have the vast new bureaucracies that have arisen and the billions spent translated into real protec-tion? Or has complacency set in? His answer is terrifying.

Charles S. Faddis, the author of Beyond Repair and the coauthor of Operation Hotel California, was trained through his years in the field with the CIA to know what it is like to stand in the shoes of a terrorist and appraise targets. In Willful Neglect, he applies this expert knowledge to scrutinizing the preparedness of the nation’s critical infrastructure—military installations, passenger and freight

rail systems, chemical plants, liquefied natural gas facilities, water treatment plants, dams, and nuclear power plants. America is still a land of opportunity, he finds—for its enemies.

Charles S. Faddis served twenty years in the Central Intelligence Agency as an opera-tions officer, holding positions as a depart-ment chief at the CIA’s Counterterrorism Center in Washington, D.C., and as a chief of station in the Middle East. He is the author of Beyond Repair (October 2009, Lyons Press), a scathing critique of today’s CIA, and the coauthor of Operation Hotel California (Octo-ber 2008 hardcover, May 2010 paper; Lyons Press), which recounts how he led the first CIA mission into Iraq in 2002 in preparation for the pending invasion. He lives in Davidsonville, Maryland.

From the author’s introduction

We had, on a strategic scale, plenty of warning that 9/11 was coming. Al Qaida told us they were coming, and they launched a series of preliminary attacks. . . . We did nothing.

Three thousand people died as the result of that com-placency. Now, in the aftermath, it is our job to move as fast as is humanly possible to block any and all future attacks.

Amazingly, though, as you tour this nation and examine the prime targets that beg to be defended from terror-ist attack, what you find, eight years later, is that virtu-ally nothing meaningful has been done. True, large new bureaucracies have been created and huge, shiny new office buildings constructed, but in terms of concrete mea-sures that will stand in the way of determined, evil men, there is very, very little.

Operation Hotel California is the definitive inside account of the secret CIA mission that paved the way for the Iraq War. Based on exclusive interviews with the team leader, Charles S. Faddis—who retired in 2008 and whose name was publicly revealed in this book for the first time—it is also the most blistering indictment by any U.S. counterterrorism officer of America’s blunders vis-à-vis Al-Qaeda and Iraq. Its lessons are vital as the current administra-tion seeks to withdraw securely from Iraq and fight extremists in Afghanistan and elsewhere.

Mike Tucker, a counterterrorism specialist and Marine infantry veteran, is the author of Hell Is Over: Voices of the Kurds After Saddam, and Among Warriors in Iraq (both Lyons Press).

Charles S. Faddis served twenty years in the CIA as an operations officer. He is the author of Willful Neglect and Beyond Repair (both Lyons Press).

THE DEVIL’S ROOMING HOUSE

The True Story of America’s Deadliest Female Serial Killer

M. William Phelps

$24.95 US/$31.95 CAN • World • Hardcover • 5 1⁄2 x 8 1⁄2 • 320 pp12/CTN • 16-page b&w insert • Lyons Press • History

A silent, simmering killer terrorized New England in1911. As a ter-rible heat wave killed more than 2,000 people, another silent killer used the heat to cover her own murderous spree. That year a reporter for the Hartford Courant noticed a disturbing pattern. Res-idents of a rooming house in Windsor, Connecticut, had been dying at an alarming rate for years. Who was responsible? Amy Archer-Gilligan, who’d opened the Archer Home for Elderly People and Chronic Invalids four years earlier. “Sister Amy” would be accused of murdering two husbands and up to sixty of her patients with cocktails of lemonade and arsenic; her story inspired the Broadway hit Arsenic and Old Lace.

The Devil’s Rooming House is the first book about the life and crimes of America’s most prolific female serial killer. In telling this

fascinating story, M. William Phelps also paints a vivid, spine-chilling portrait of early-twentieth-century New England.

M. William Phelps, whom Radio America called “the nation’s leading authority on the mind of the female murderer,” is the author of many nonfiction books, nearly 600,000 of which are in print. They include Perfect Poison: A Female Serial Killer’s Deadly Medicine. He has been a consultant for the Showtime TV drama Dexter, and his many national TV appearances include The Discovery Channel and Good Morning America. He lives in Vernon, Connecticut.

DEATH IN SALEM

The Private Lives Behind the 1692 Witch Hunt

Diane E. Foulds

978-0-7627-5909-5 • AUGUST 2010

$19.95 US/$24.95 CAN • World • Cloth • 5 1⁄2 x 8 1⁄2 • 288 pp12/CTN • Globe Pequot • Biography & Autobiography

Salem witchcraft will always have a magnetic pull on the American psyche. During the 1692 witch trials, more than 150 people were arrested. An estimated 25 million Americans—including author Diane Foulds—are descended from the twenty individuals exe-cuted. What happened to our ancestors? Death in Salem is the first book to take a clear-eyed look at this complex time, by examining the lives of the witch trial participants from a personal perspective.

Massachusetts settlers led difficult lives; every player in the Salem drama endured hardships barely imaginable today. Mercy Short, one of the “bewitched” girls, watched as Indians butchered her parents; Puritan minister Cotton Mather outlived all but three of his fifteen children. Such tragedies shaped behavior and, as Foulds

argues, ultimately played a part in the witch hunt’s outcome. A compelling “who’s who” to Salem witchcraft, Death in Salem pro-files each of these historical personalities as it asks: Why was this person targeted?

Diane E. Foulds, a tenth-generation descendent one of those hanged in Salem in 1692, is the author of three books, including Curious New England and Vermont: An Explorer’s Guide. Her articles have appeared in the Boston Globe, The Washington Post, and Yankee magazine. She lives in Burlington, Vermont.

The first book to explore the tragic personal lives of the leading players in Salem’s witchcraft frenzy

From Chapter 1, “The Accusers”

By the time the Salem witch hunt had run its course, more than seventy men, women, and children had volun-teered themselves as witnesses or accusers. What had started with a few tremulous girls became a community-wide upheaval involving every social stratum. Yet for each of the core accusers, as the following profiles reveal, the roots of the turmoil went far deeper than anyone would have guessed.

In the seventh installment in the acclaimed Woods Cop Mystery series, another suspenseful crime noir finds Michigan Department of Natural Resources Detective Grady Service back in action. The dis-covery of skeletal remains in the Upper Peninsula wilderness sheds troubling light on an eighty-year-old cold case involving racism, gold, and murder.

This is the most action-packed Woods Cop Mystery yet.

BONES OF THE TIGER

Protecting the Man-Eaters of Nepal

$16.95 US/$21.50 CAN • World • Paper • 6 x 9 • 256 pp • 12/CTN 8-page color insert • Lyons Press • Nature

Tiger conservation is one of today’s most pressing environmental issues. From a world population of approximately 100,000 tigers in 1939, these majestic carnivores have dwindled to less than 3,000 in the wild today, much of this due to poaching and habitat destruc-tion. A true adventure tale from the author of the award-winning The Soul of the Rhino, Bones of the Tiger tells the fascinating story of one man’s quest to save the man-eating tigers of Nepal. Set in Royal Chitwan National Park, it is also a timely story, given that 2010 is, in much of Asia, the Year of the Tiger.

Unique in explaining the real story of atypical tiger behavior—behavior that ultimately leads to conflict with humans, sometimes resulting in death—this book also includes stunning photos by renowned Japanese photographer Mashahiro Iijima.

Hemanta Mishra is a distinguished biolo-gist and conservationist who has worked with the Smithsonian Institution, the World Wildlife Fund, and the World Bank. He was awarded the J. Paul Getty Wildlife Conservation Prize and is credited with halting the extinction of the rhino and tiger populations in Nepal by merging Eastern philoso-phy with Western science. He lives in Vienna, Virginia.

A book for all who strive to tap into their own creativity

Following up on her successful Life is a Verb, and in the tradition of Julia Cameron’s The Artist’s Way, Patti Digh here presents a book that leads readers by both heart and head to acknowledge, rein-force, and use their own creative spirit. This is equally a book for people who say, “I’m not creative” or “I’m just a dabbler” or “I’m an artist.” Stories and exercises are enhanced by original artwork and an inviting design. Thirty-seven related essays are organized around six overarching themes that guide readers (whether actual “art-ists” or not) beyond the fear of creativity to embrace their inner artist. Among the themes: “Put down your clever” (no more trying

to be smart), “See the pencil” (learning to really see again.), “Throw more pots” (focusing on the process, not the outcome), and “Close the door” (finding ten minutes a day for yourself).

Patti Digh, the creator and author of the award-winning blog 37days.com, is the author of Life is a Verb (skirt!), a Books for a Better Life nominee. As cofounder of The Circle Project, she creates diversity strategies and educational programming for major nonprofit and corpo-rate organizations.

LIFE IS A VERB

37 Days to Wake Up, Be Mindful, and Live Intentionally978-1-59921-295-1 • $19.95 US/$21.95 CAN • Paper

What would you be doing today if you only had 37 days to live?

In October 2003, Patti Digh’s stepfather was diagnosed with lung cancer. He died 37 days later. The timeframe made an impression on her. What emerged was a commitment to ask herself every morning: What would I be doing today if I had only 37 days left to live? The answers changed her life and led to this new kind of book. Part meditation, part how-to guide, part memoir, Life is a Verb is all heart.

Within these pages—enhanced by original artwork and wide, invit-ing margins ready to be written in—Digh identifies six core prac-tices to jump-start a meaningful life: Say Yes, Trust Yourself, Slow Down, Be Generous, Speak Up, and Love More. Within this frame-work she supplies 37 edgy, funny, and literary life stories, each fol-lowed by a “do it now” 10-minute exercise as well as a practice to try for 37 days—and perhaps the rest of your life.

“Brilliantly crafted, raw, gorgeously designed, and daringly different from ‘self-help’ books.”

—Dave Pollard, author of The Natural Entrepreneur

“I have never seen such a simultaneously practical, esthetic, and soul-caressing book in my life.”

—Kichiro Hayashi, PhD, Professor Emeritus, Aoyama Gakuin University, Tokyo

“Life is a Verb . . . will surely be the last self-help book you will ever need or want to read.”

—Patricia Ryan Madson, author of Improv Wisdom

“I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again: I adore Patti Digh’s Life is a Verb. I love her writing, her depth, her sizzle.”

UNDER ONE ROOF AGAIN

All Grown Up and (Re)learning to Live Together Happily

Susan Newman, PhD

As nest eggs shrink, parents are moving in with their adult children and grandchildren in record numbers. Similarly, with jobs scarce and unemployment high, more and more adult children, be they recent college grads (77% of them in 2009) or on their own for a while, are returning home to their parents.

Under One Roof Again squarely addresses the inevitable and sen-sitive issues—from money matters to boundaries—that arise when formerly parent-child relationships become adult-adult ones. Drawing on her own research with family members already liv-ing together and on academic studies, social psychologist Susan Newman, a leading authority in the family relationship and parent-

ing fields, provides solid advice for avoiding the snags and building stronger family ties when family members rejoin each other for long or short time periods.

Susan Newman, PhD, maintains a par-enting blog for Psychology Today. Her thir-teen nonfiction books include classics in the family/parenting field. She has appeared on The Today Show, Good Morning America, 20/20, CNN, and hundreds of top radio shows including NPR’s Talk of the Nation. She lives in Metuchen, New Jersey.

THE 24/7 BABY DOCTOR

A Harvard Pediatrician Answers All Your Questions from Birth to One Year

The 24/7 Baby Doctor is the essential twenty-first-century refer-ence guide for new parents. Doing away with the often intimidating “What to Expect” approach of so many parenting books, Dr. Victoria Rogers McEvoy coaches readers in an encouraging, you-can-do-this voice, telling parents what they can do and when they need to con-sult their doctor. She asks (and answers) all key questions, on topics such as sleep, food, crying, stooling, spitting up, development, health and safety, and technology. She offers evidence-based solutions that reflect American Academy of Pediatrics recommendations and the latest research—whether on vaccines, autism, or cognitive prod-ucts that supposedly make babies smarter. And, where possible, Dr. McEvoy gives parents the parameters to make their own choices.

Victoria Rogers McEvoy, MD, is Assistant Professor of Pedi-atrics at Harvard Medical School and Chief of Pediatrics at Mas-sachusetts General West Medical Group, based at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston. She is also a senior pediatrician at the hospital. She lives in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

SHIFT! HAPPENS

Let Go of Fear and Get Your Life in Gear

Jeffrey W. Hull, PhD

978-0-7627-5662-9 • APRIL 2010

$16.95 US/$21.50 CAN • World • Paper • 5 1⁄2 x 8 1⁄2 • 256 pp • 24/CTNGPP Life • Self-Help

We all go through major life transitions—whether they take us by surprise or we take the leap and “make a shift” into unknown ter-ritory ourselves. Jobs change, lovers change, ideas change, people change. But, too often, we become overwhelmed by fear when faced with a new direction. We become stuck. This book funda-mentally changes the way we cope with change.

Dr. Jeffrey Hull presents his unique “Life-Shifting” method—a six-step program combining Western psychological theory and East-ern ideas with the practicality of life coaching. The aim: to learn how to shift out of the fearful thinking that inevitably accompanies each stage of change. Designed in the easily accessible format of a “driver’s manual” for navigating life’s ups and downs, and with diagnostic tools, practices, and exercises throughout, Shift! Hap-pens shows us how to move through fear, release our anxieties, and accept change as something that happens for us and not to us.

Jeffrey W. Hull, PhD, is a psychotherapist, executive/life coach, and author widely recognized as a pioneer in the fields of per-formance and life coaching for executives. His clients range from individuals to multinational Fortune 500 corporations. He has appeared on national television programs such as Good Morning America. He lives in New York City and in the Hudson River Valley.

America’s legendary Blue Ridge Mountains region is known for its rich history and culture and, not least, its traditional cuisine. But much of what’s cooking there is new, including a thriving Farm to Table movement and increasingly established Slow Food commu-nities. Such movements’ philosophies—caring about where food comes from, how it is grown, and how it is prepared—have trans-formed the culinary scene for newcomers and old-timers alike.

The region is thus ripe for The New Blue Ridge Cookbook, which takes a fresh look at local, seasonal foods and honors efforts of sustainability, as well as the area’s rich culinary history. With some 100 recipes showcasing such traditional foods as apples, candy roasters, and ramps, the book presents new approaches by chefs, farmers, and others in the know—while also sharing amusing anecdotes and culinary traditions, as well as information about the region’s artisanal food products and local beers and wines.

Elizabeth Wiegand is the author of The Outer Banks Cookbook (ThreeForks), and her articles on food, travel, and design have appeared in the Washington Post, Southern Living, and Our State: North Carolina. She lives in Raleigh, North Carolina.

Chess is a refreshing pastime for most play-ers, and an all-encompassing obsession for a few. And yet much of chess literature—heavy on notation, low on useful illustrations, frus-trating for the beginner—is directed at those already in the know. Knack Chess for Everyone provides an alternative: a clear, understand-able, and fun entry into chess that doesn’t ignore the complexities and challenges. Pho-tographs of actual game boards, often paired with a diagram, represent the perspective of the player looking at the pieces. The book clearly explains the rules of play and move-ment of pieces, and then gradually introduces various tactics and strategies.

Hope and Loss at the Mexican Border

Terry Greene Sterling

Arizona’s violent border is the busiest gateway for illegal immigra-tion in America, making Arizona Ground Zero for the immigration debate. No state is as hostile to the undocumented, and no city is as unwelcoming as Phoenix. Yet Phoenix is home to thousands who live in the shadows, where civil rights are neglected and lives are lost.

Illegal sheds light on the invisible immigrants who persevere despite kidnappings and drug wars, an ongoing recession, and laws barring them from working, learning, and driving. By profiling these undoc-umented people, and those—like notorious Sheriff Joe Arpaio—who persecute them, author Terry Greene Sterling courageously reveals the changing face of immigration in America and gives new insight into a divisive national crisis.

Terry Greene Sterling, a Spanish-speaking multimedia journalist, is Writer-in-Residence at the Walter Cronkite School of Journal-ism and Mass Communication at Arizona State University. She has won forty-nine national and regional journalism awards. A former staff writer for the Phoenix New Times, her stories have appeared on Newsweek.com, as well as in The Washington Post, salon.com, The Nieman Narrative Digest, Arizona Highways, and PHOENIX mag-azine. Her investigative work can be followed on Twitter, Facebook, and her interactive Web site, whitewomaninbarrio.com, which will showcase photos and video of Sterling reporting material covered in Illegal. Sterling lives near Phoenix.

ASSAULT IN NORWAY

Sabotaging the Nazi Nuclear Program

Thomas Gallagher

978-1-59921-912-7 • JUNE 2010

$16.95 US/$21.50 CAN • World English • Paper • 6 x 9 • 208 pp 24/CTN • Previous edition: 11/2002; 978-1-58574-750-4 Lyons Press • History

Assault in Norway is the classic account of a legendary raid on the Nazi war program. By 1942 Germany had a seemingly insurmount-able lead over the Allies in developing an atomic bomb. Contribut-ing to this situation was its access to a crucial ingredient: “heavy water,” found in great abundance at a fortresslike factory in occu-pied Norway. Allied hopes of stalling the Nazi nuclear program soon focused on sabotaging the cliffside plant—a suicidal mission. But a team of brave Norwegian exiles, trained in Britain, infiltrated their homeland and, hiding in the wilds, awaited the opportunity to launch one of the war’s most daring commando raids.

Basing his gripping narrative in large part on interviews with the commandos themselves, Thomas Gallagher recounts in vivid detail the planning and execution of Operation Gunnerside. Assault in Norway recalls the intrigue found in such wartime classics as David Howarth’s We Die Alone and The Sledge Patrol, and the mission it recounts inspired the 1965 Hollywood film The Heroes of Telemark.

Thomas Gallagher (1918-1992) was a journalist and the author of eight books, including The Gathering Darkness, nominated for a National Book Award; and Fire at Sea: The Story of the Moro Castle, which won the Edgar Allan Poe Award for nonfiction.

Few military feats stir the imagination as does the image of the lone hero-marksman, positioned a seemingly impossible distance away from a target he must hit dead-on—from snipers in the world’s dry-land hotspots to those on the Navy destroyer Bainbridge who, in April 2009, picked off three Somali pirates holding an Ameri-can ship captain hostage. Sniper presents heart-pounding real-life tales about the top front-line snipers in Afghanistan, Iraq, and else-where around the globe today—Navy Seals, Silver Star–winners, long-distance record-holders, and more. Authors Matt Larsen and Gina Cavallaro also provide a close look at sniper schools (the U.S. Army has two of them; the U.S. Marine Corps has another), sniper profiles, and who makes a good sniper.

Sergeant First Class Matt Larsen, a longtime trainer in sur-vival and fighting techniques for the Army Rangers, revised and updated the U.S. Army Survival Handbook (Lyons). He is the Director of the Modern Army Combatives Program, which he created, and the Commandant of the US Army Combatives School, which he founded at Fort Benning, Georgia. He lives in Columbus, Georgia.

Gina Cavallaro is a staff reporter for the Army Times. She has been embedded in Iraq five times and is currently in Afghanistan. She lives in Alexandria, Virginia.

FATAL DEPTH

Deep Sea Diving, China Fever, and the Wreck of the Andrea Doria

Joe Haberstroh

978-1-59921-895-3 • JUNE 2010

$14.95 US/$18.95 CAN • World • Paper • 6 x 9 • 272 pp • 24/CTN Previous edition: 6/2004; 978-1-59228-304-0 • 16-page color insert Lyons Press • History

On July 25, 1956, the luxury Italian ocean liner Andrea Doria col-lided with the Stockholm near Nantucket, Massachusetts. Half a century later the wreck of the Andrea Doria is still claiming lives. Divers consider it to be the Everest of diving. At 225 feet below the surface, ordinary air becomes toxic, and divers without suf-ficient protection suffer nitrogen narcosis, “the rapture of the deep,” as they seek the ultimate symbol of deep-sea diving accom-plishments: china teacups and plates from the Andrea Doria.

Fatal Depth follows a scuba diving charter boat, the Seeker, over the fateful summers of 1987 and 1988 as five of its customers die, all while exploring the fabled wreck. Based on Joe Haberstroh’s award-winning series of articles that appeared in Newsday, it tells the story of the ship that was the pride of the Italian fleet, how that ship sank, and the gripping personal stories of those who live or die for a teacup from its remains.

Joe Haberstroh is the “On the Waters” columnist for Newsday. In 1997, he won a Pulitzer Prize for coverage of the crash of TWA flight 800. He lives in Bay Shore, New York.

A GENERAL HISTORY OF THE ROBBERIES & MURDERS OF THE MOST NOTORIOUS PIRATES

Captain Charles Johnson; Introduction and Commentary by David Cordingly

978-1-59921-905-9 • APRIL 2010

$19.95 US/$24.95 CAN • U.S. & Canada • Paper • 7 1⁄2 x 9 1⁄4 • 384 pp 12/CTN • Previous edition:978-1-58574-558-6; $19.95; TP; 6/2002; Lyons Press • History

Originally published in 1724—and now with an introduction and commentary by the best-selling author of a modern-day pirate classic—this famous account of the most notorious pirates of the day was an immediate success. Written by the mysterious Captain Johnson, it appeared at a time since described as the “Golden Age of Piracy.” Vividly capturing the realities of the savage seafaring exis-tence—detailing events, including trials, of the day’s most feared pirates—it was largely responsible for the posthumous fame of Blackbeard and Captain Kidd, and has become the main source of information about the female pirates Mary Read and Anne Bonny. This book is today generally regarded as the classic study of one of the most popular subjects in maritime history.

Captain Charles Johnson was long thought to be Robinson Cru-soe author Daniel Defoe. His exact identity is still unknown.

David Cordingly is the best-selling author of Under the Black Flag: The Romance and the Reality of Life Among the Pirates. He was pre-viously Keeper of Pictures and Head of Exhibitions at the UK’s National Maritime Museum. He lives by the sea in Brighton, England.


MORNING SUN

A Story of Hope, Purpose, and the Power of FamilyMerrick Alpert

978-1-59921-929-5 • OCTOBER 2009

$16.95 US/$21.50 CAN • World • Paper • 6 x 9 • 304 pp • 12/CTN 8-page b&w photo insert • Lyons Press • Current Affairs/Memoir

Merrick Alpert’s life dramatically changed the day his father left. The child of a suddenly single mother, living among the farms of rural Connecticut, Alpert found himself on a path that was starkly different from his peers—a path with emotional and financial hard-ships, and one that challenged what he knew about himself, his family, and his future.

Morning Sun is the true story of Alpert’s life after his father aban-doned him—a memoir that details the events that led him on a journey to law school, to the war-torn streets of Bosnia, to the American landscape of an historic race for the White House, and to a profound discovery in Morning Sun, Iowa. It is a story about the courage to confront the past, the necessity of healing old

wounds, and the possibility of faith in the midst of adversity—a story that ends where it began: with family, with courage, and with the determination to help make the world a better place.

Merrick Alpert is a native of Colchester, Connecticut. He attended the University of Connecticut and is a graduate of Trinity College and the Georgetown University Law Center. He worked as an advance staffer for Vice President Al Gore and as a United States peacekeeper in Bosnia. Upon completing his military service, Alpert successfully built and sold two businesses that employed hundreds of American workers. He lives with his wife, Alexandra, and their three children in Mystic, Connecticut.




Oneman’sjourneyinsearchofhimself—andhislong-lostfather

AN EXCERPT

Francis Richard Davis left when I was six, gone before I knew him. He abandoned my mom, brother, sister, and me in the early 1970s. He made it official with a phone call. I remember the neon yellow telephone cord stretching from the kitchen along the left side of my mom’s closed bed-room door. With eyes fresh with tears of permanent loss, she hung up the phone and announced the news. “Your father won’t be coming back any more.”

THE LIGHTHOUSE KEEPER’S DAUGHTER

The Remarkable True Story of American Heroine Ida Lewis

Lenore Skomal

978-0-7627-5880-7 • JULY 2010

$14.95 US/$18.95 CAN • World • Paper • 5 1⁄2 x 8 1⁄2 • 160 pp • 12/CTN8-page b&w photo insert, 1 archival map • Globe Pequot • History

This is the absorbing story of Ida Lewis, born in Newport, Rhode Island in 1842, and the fearless rescues she made at Lime Rock Lighthouse. In 1853, her father, Captain Hosea Lewis, became the first keeper of this lighthouse. But after he was disabled by stroke, then-fifteen-year-old Ida and her mother took over Lime Rock Light from 1857 until 1872, when her father died. Her mother was appointed lighthouse keeper, a position she held until her death in 1879, though Ida did the work. In 1879, Ida was officially appointed to the job, which she remained in until her own passing, in 1911.

Ida saved at least eighteen lives over nearly forty years on the tiny island in Newport. She became famous nationwide in the late 1860s after one of her daring rescues, and the town of Newport cel-ebrated her on Independence Day 1869. In 1924 the Rhode Island legislature changed the name of Lime Rock to Ida Lewis Rock. In 1995, a new class of Coast Guard buoy tenders was named for her.

Lenore Skomal is the author of ten books, including Lady Lib-erty: The History of the Statue of Liberty and a previous edition of Lighthouse Keeper’s Daughter (under the title The Keeper of Lime Rock). Her weekly humor column and videocast (www.goerie.com) has won numerous Society of Professional Journalist awards. She lives in Erie, Pennsylvania.

Jones Beach looms large in the hearts and lives of millions of New Yorkers. From its windswept beginnings on the far edge of an empire to its twentieth-century status as the greatest public beachfront resort in America, it has been home to countless mem-ories.

His richly detailed prose comes together with a wonderful collection of archival pho-tographs to make this a must read for anyone who has visited Jones Beach. The foreword is by “Mr. Long Island,” longtime former Newsday columnist Ed Lowe.

John Hanc teaches journalism and writing at the New York Insti-tute of Technology. He is the author of eight books, most recently The Coolest Race on Earth: Mud, Madmen, Glaciers, and Grannies at the Antarctica Marathon.

THE 1,000-YEAR FLOOD

Destruction, Loss, Rescue, and Redemption along the Mississippi River

Stephen J. Lyons

978-0-7627-5270-6 • AUGUST 2010

$16.95 US/$21.50 CAN • World • Paper • 6 x 9 • 256 pp • 24/CTN 16-page color insert • Globe Pequot • Current Events/Social Science

Every year, flooding wreaks havoc across much of the Midwest. But the floods of 2008 were on a scale unlike anything seen in generations. From Minnesota to Missouri, Illinois to Iowa, the “Thousand Year Floods” of 2008—as some climatologists called them—caused tens of billions of dollars of damage. The human stories associated with this epic event that affected the Mississippi River and its tributaries are riveting.

The 1,000-Year Flood is a powerful tale of heroism, of heart-wrench-ing loss, and of hope. Looking at the epic events of the summer of 2008—and, in particular, at the devastated city of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, and its will to rebuild—Stephen Lyons weaves a compelling

and inspiring narrative set against the backdrop of a millennium of natural disasters in the region. He asks: What does the flooding mean for residents who face it year after year? Are the affected areas ignored because they’re fly-over states?

Stephen J. Lyons is the author of A View from the Inland Northwest: Everyday Life in America (Lyons). A member of the National Book Critics Circle, he has published articles, reviews, essays, and poems in numerous publications, and is a regular contributor to the Writ-ers on The Range syndication service at High Country News, sent to eighty newspapers across the West. He lives in Monticello, Illinois.

ANNAPURNA, 2ND

The First Conquest of an 8,000-Meter Peak

Maurice Herzog

In 1950, when no mountain taller than 8,000 meters had ever been climbed, Maurice Herzog led an expedition of French climbers to the summit of an 8,075-meter (26,493-foot) Himalayan peak called Annapurna. But unlike other climbs, the routes up Annapurna had never been charted. Herzog and his team had to locate the moun-tain using crude maps, pick out a single untried route, and go for the summit. Annapurna is the unforgettable account of this heroic climb and of its harrowing aftermath, including a nightmare descent of frostbite, snow blindness, and near death. Herzog’s masterful narrative is one of the great mountain-adventure stories of all time.

This new edition—due for publication shortly before the sixtieth anniversary of the Annapurna ascent on June 3, 2010—will feature a new foreword by a well-known mountaineer/writer.

Maurice Herzog (1919–) is a legendary French mountaineer and sports administrator. In 1950 he became the first person to conquer an 8,000-meter peak, Annapurna. His accomplishment was surpassed only when Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay reached the summit of Everest in 1953. He lives in Lyon, France.

BREAKDOWN

A Season of Gang Warfare, High School Football, and the Coach Who Policed the Streets

Bob Halloran

978-1-59921-904-2 • AUGUST 2010

$24.95 US/$31.95 CAN • World • Hardcover • 6 x 9 • 304 pp • 12/CTN Lyons Press • Sports & recreation

From the author of Irish Thunder comes the true story about the collision of violent crime and high school football in a tough New England town. Friday Night Lights meets Boyz n the Hood in this book about a football coach—also a cop on the gang beat—who pulls kids off the streets and puts them on the field with a combination of kindness and intimidation.

In Breakdown (whose title alludes to a pregame psyche-up ritual), Bob Halloran gets inside the life-or-death struggles of student ath-letes from the Bloods, Crips, MS-13s, and Latin Kings in Chelsea, Massachusetts—the Boston area’s cruelest city. While explor-ing the anger, fear, and violence of these young men, he follows the Chelsea Red Devils as they vie for a championship and as the

players try making football their way out. Meanwhile, tough-love coach James Atkins serves as a cop in the Chelsea Police Depart-ment’s Gang Unit, asking for his players’ blood, sweat, and tears on the field . . . and hoping their blood doesn’t spill off it. Will football be their way to a better life, or will street life forever haunt them?

Bob Halloran is the author of Irish Thunder (Lyons, p. 47) and the weekend news and sports anchor at WCVB-TV in Boston, Massa-chusetts. Formerly an ESPN anchor and columnist for espn.com, he has been a news and sports anchor in New England for more than twenty years, and he writes a weekly column for the Boston Metro newspaper.

IRISH THUNDER

The Hard Life and Times of Micky Ward

Bob Halloran

“Irish” Micky Ward was always the underdog—one able to stage a stunning comeback late in a fight. After a fifteen-year pro career followed by a string of defeats and three years of retirement, the Lowell, Massachusetts, native defeated Arturo Gatti in 2002, captur-ing the world light welterweight title. The grueling battle—named “Fight of the Year” by Ring magazine and “Fight of the Century” by boxing fans around America—was broadcast live on HBO, made Ward famous, and launched two legendary rematches.

In Irish Thunder, Bob Halloran recounts Ward’s rise to hero status, his rivalry with his imprisoned brother, and the negotiations, betray-als, and drugs that shaped a wild youth who ultimately became a nationally respected boxer. This is a story about a boxer from a boxing family and a boxing town—and it is a wrenching account of life in blue-collar America. Ward’s dramatic victories inside the ring are recounted in gripping detail, but it is his victory outside the ring that inspires.

BASEBALL’S ULTIMATE POWER

Ranking the All-Time Greatest Distance Home Run Hitters

Bill Jenkinson

$17.95 US/$22.95 CAN • World • Paper • 7 1⁄2 x 9 1⁄4 • 320 pp • 12/CTN100 b&w photos • Lyons Press • Sports & Recreation

The “tape-measure home run” is the greatest single act of power in the game of baseball, and the tales of these homers are the most cherished legacies players and fans hand down through the genera-tions. Each long-distance shot has become fable; they are baseball’s versions of the feats of Paul Bunyon, Hercules, and Samson.

No one but Bill Jenkinson could separate myth from fact and actually study, rank, and describe in riveting detail baseball’s strongest long-ball hitters. Fully illustrated with player photos and aerial ballpark photos showing the landing spots of each stadium’s longest home runs, Baseball’s Ultimate Power is the definitive book on the tape-measure home run and its practitioners. Jenkinson travels through the decades to give us the distances, descriptions, and comparisons of the forty longest hitters in major league history, the ten longest-hitting active players, the five mightiest from the nineteenth century, and the five best tape-measure batsmen from the Negro League era.

Bill Jenkinson is the author of the critically acclaimed The Year Babe Ruth Hit 104 Home Runs. The top expert on the history of long-distance home runs, he has been a consultant for the Baseball Hall of Fame, Major League Baseball, the Society for American Base-ball Research, the Babe Ruth Museum, and ESPN.

Baseball fans are by nature philosophical creatures, prone to engag-ing fellow devotees of the Grand Old Game in such inherently sub-jective, often ridiculous, and thoroughly enjoyable debates as: Who was the best-hitting pitcher of all-time? Who are the best players left out of the Hall of Fame? Which team dressed its players in the worst uniforms? What was the most lopsided trade ever? Which movie stands above all others as the best baseball flick? Who was the best female player ever? Such questions fall into a wide range of categories and are pondered during pauses in the game, happy hours at the bar, and commercial breaks at home.

The Seventh Inning Stretch, by noted baseball expert Josh Pahigian, addresses (and answers!) all of the most interesting baseball argu-ments that fans have been engaging in for decades, and even a few they may have never stopped to consider before.

Josh Pahigian is the author of 101 Baseball Places to See Before You Strike Out (see p. 49), The Ultimate Baseball Road Trip, and The Ultimate Minor League Baseball Road Trip (all Lyons), as well as The Spring Training Handbook and The Red Sox in the Play-offs.

Through a series of engaging essays, he reminds us of the game’s effect on American culture: how the game evolved while the nation came of age, how baseball helped break down barriers, and how it unified citizens when we needed it most.

Whether we travel by car or plane or sit in the comfort of our arm-chair, this book leads us to 101 of the very best baseball places—including the Ted Williams Museum, Ozzie Smith’s Restaurant & Sports Bar, the remnants of Forbes Field, Babe Ruth’s gravesite, McCovey Cove, and dozens of other captivating landmarks and curios that celebrate our national pastime.

From the author of Thinning the Herd and Weirdly Beloved, here is a new and even more irreverent compendium about those who have filtered out of the gene pool, either by their own stupidity or by dumb luck. Among the sad but true tales inside:

• John Dominic Robertson died doing it doggie-style. . . . Sort of. EMTs arrived to find the man wearing only socks and a dog col-lar chained to a wall. He had apparently asphyxiated while having sex with his girlfriend. His wife was called to identify the body.

This book is the twenty-first century hand-to-hand combat field manual the U.S. Army distributes to all its soldiers. Proficiency in hand-to-hand combat is one of the fundamental building blocks for training the modern soldier. Such training can save lives when unex-pected confrontations occur, and can be especially critical during noncombatant evacuations and peacekeeping missions, when the use of weapons may be restricted. U.S. Army Hand-to-Hand Combat Handbook presents all the essential skills in one durable package—how to ground-fight, throw and take down the enemy, strike the enemy, use handheld weapons, and defend yourself—and also cov-ers rifle-bayonet fighting.

Illustrated with 350 photos and diagrams, U.S. Army Hand-to-Hand Combat Handbook was drafted, by order of the Secretary of the Army, by Sergeant First Class Matt Larsen, who revised and updated The U.S. Military Pocket Survival Guide and the U.S. Army Survival Handbook, Revised (both Lyons).

Syria has always been a crossroads. Kings, caliphs, crusaders, and conquer-ors have all carved their way through this land, leaving reminders of past glo-ries scattered across the countryside.

Few other countries can match its plethora of ancient monu-ments. And, in the cities, travelers can thread their way deep into the alleys of centuries-old, spice-scented marketplaces. But this nation is more than a living museum. Invitations to chat and drink tea or to come over for dinner are daily occurrences for travelers, who discover that the legendary Syrian hospitality is the real highlight of a journey here.

Infinite variety is the key to Brit-tany’s timeless appeal—from more than 1,200 miles of unparalleled coastline to the rich landscapes of the interior, from architectural gems

to unspoiled rural villages. That’s not to mention the vibrant Celtic heritage revealed in the language, music, colorful festivals, and mystical sites. Haunting megaliths or medieval towns, sea-food or surfing beaches, legends or wild landscapes—Brittany is waiting.

The Dordogne takes travelers by surprise. Green and calm, at first glance it seems just another corner of rural France designed for good food, fine wine, and easy living. But

this region holds humanity’s first great works of art: provoca-tive cave paintings that go back over 15,000 years BC. It’s been a busy crossroads ever since. A dramatic history hasn’t kept the “land of a thousand castles” from polishing the arts of every-day life. There’s an inviting cuisine based on duck, foie gras, and truffles, and lovely villages of warm golden stone.

Along the course of her great-est river, the Loire, lie some of the defining sights of France. Visitors journey from afar to see sumptuous châteaux like Chambord and Vil-

landry, legendary vineyards, and fragrant rose gardens—and in the process they discover much more than they ever imagined. From the infectious buzz of vibrant cities like Tours, Angers, and Orléans to the healing tranquility of slumbering rural villages, this is a captivating voyage of discovery into a rich cultural heri-tage accompanied by fine food and crisp, fruity wines.

The “Other” South of France, Languedoc-Roussillon is a delicious dose of Mediterranean convivial-ity and landscapes; of olives groves, vineyards, and cypress trees; of

sleepy wine villages and buzzing cities such as Montpellier and Nîmes. Extending from the river Rhône to Spain, the region encompasses some of France’s most iconic sights. It’s a great place to be as lazy or as active as you prefer, whether that means a slow cruise down the idyllic Canal du Midi, wine tasting in the Corbières, a trek through the Pyrenees, or kayaking down the majestic Gorges du Tarn.

DESTINATION GUIDESFootprint’s full-color Destination series targets travelers looking for a combination of insightful information and pictorial content; for guidebooks that are as much about the planning as the trip itself. Covering well-known sights as well as a few surprises, these guides offer the same quality content that travelers have come to expect from Footprint, but in a stylish new format with stunning full-color photography.

The Duchy of Normandy, founded by Vikings 1,000 years ago, is bound by kinship and his-tory to the English-speaking world. Its great ports Cherbourg and Le Havre, picturesque fishing harbors like Honfleur or Dieppe, chic resorts, and long sandy beaches reso-nate with memories linking Normandy to its neighbor across the Channel. Explore an astonishing artistic and architectural heritage, including Impressionist shrines like Monet’s home beside the Seine; and a rus-tic interior with picture-book charm. Dine in hearty local style, and enjoy Normandy’s powerful apple brandy, Calvados.

PROVENCE & CÔTE D’AZURTristan Rutherford and Kathryn Tomasetti

978-1-906098-91-9 • JULY 2010


Sandwiched between Italy, mainland France, and North Africa, Provence and the Côte d’Azur is blessed with a fascinating history and a mix of cultural influences. The Cam-argue’s pink flamingos give way to bustling Marseilles, France’s second city. The Luber-on’s chestnut forests and lavender-fields undulate down to the seaside towns and sandy beaches of the Alpes-Maritimes. There is glamorous Nice. Smaller coastal towns have long been synonymous with art, exu-berance, and untouched beauty: visit the Picasso museum, star-spot at the Cannes Film Festival, or kayak Caribbean-blue bays. Or simply bask in the region’s microclimate, which goes far to explain the residents’ sunny, Mediterranean temperament.

No, you needn’t forgo the beaches and the sun, but a family holiday in Europe can of course be about much, much more. How about taking the little darlings around the Louvre in Paris, or the Uffizi Gallery in Florence? Climb the Leaning Tower of Pisa, scale an Alp or two, or even watch Mount Etna erupt? Footprint’s new guide to savoring mainland Europe with children shows how to put the fun back into foreign holidays with a cornucopia of family-friendly places to see and things to do, plus recipes, games, and great ideas on how to get the kids as excited about being in the Old World as you are.

Devon offers Britain at its most lush and charming through to its most bleak and impressive landscapes. The stark uplands of Dartmoor are in easy reach of the sunny delights of the southern coast, its boating fraternity, and even the odd palm tree. Resorts like Torquay offer a retro feel, while the more historic Dartmouth is quietly charming. Entirely different, the north coast and its Atlantic rollers cater to the new surfing passion, particularly around Croyde Bay. And elsewhere is some of the prettiest countryside you could hope to see. Families can stroll it, ride it (by bike or horse), or even walk it with a llama in tow, and they can camp or else enjoy the comforts of some of the UK’s most family-oriented hotels.

DORSET, NEW FOREST & THE ISLE OF WIGHT WITH KIDSJane Anderson

978-1-907263-00-2 • JUNE 2010


“The best things come in threes,” goes the saying. This certainly rings true of Dorset, the New Forest, and the Isle of Wight. Tucked inconspicuously along England’s southern coast from Southampton to Lyme Regis, these contrasting yet complimentary regions are a treasure box of traditional English and exotic attractions for kids and adults alike. There’s the 95-mile Jurassic Coast famed for its fossils, shingle banks, and must sees such as the wonderful Swannery at Abbotsbury. The New Forest is England’s newest national park, created in 2005. The Isle of Wight has that great island feel: individual, quirky, and magical.

LAKE DISTRICT WITH KIDSDavid Atkinson

978-1-906098-98-8 • JUNE 2010


Visitors are nothing new to the Lakes. The Romantic poets got there first and spent many a happy hour wandering lonely as a cloud. But, more recently, a new breed has arrived: families. They have discovered the simple pleasures of vacationing in and around England’s largest national park: tranquil beaches, rugged outdoor adventures, and stately historic properties. That’s not to mention the hospitality. Fresh food and cozy accommodations abound, and there are some great microbreweries to explore when the kids are busy elsewhere.

Eat Slow celebrates food grown and prepared with love and con-sumed at leisure.

All the restaurants included believe in the slow food movement’s ethos that food should be good, clean, and fair. You’ll find honest value in rustic, friendly and well-priced hotels, restaurants and inns.

YUKON

Canada’s Yukon is one the world’s last great wildernesses, where bears, moose, and caribou roam. It’s a place where hikers, paddlers, skiers, and mushers can travel for days without seeing another human soul, where the northern lights dance green and red across starry skies, where glaciers tumble, mountain peaks soar, and tun-dra shrubs scream scarlet as summer turns to fall. It’s a land of heartrending human stories, too, for the Yukon is home to the Klondike, to which an estimated hundred thousand dreamers and desperadoes—including a young Jack London—once swarmed in search of gold.

Bradt’s Yukon is the only guidebook dedicated to this natural and historical wonderland. Offering practical advice on everything from where to pan for gold to how to avoid being eaten by a bear, alongside quirky anecdotes (such as the story behind the “sourtoe cocktail”—a shot of whisky garnished with a severed human toe), it’s the perfect companion for highway drivers, cruise-ship passen-gers, and outdoors enthusiasts alike.

Paraguay is still largely undiscovered by travelers, but those who make their way here are delighted by the country’s distinctive culture and strong indigenous features. A truly bilingual nation of Latin America, this is a country where Guaraní is spoken alongside Spanish anywhere you may go. Its folk-dance tradition is hugely popular among young people; its harp playing is legendary; and Par-aguayans are proud of their different handicrafts, particularly their sewing. The country is also home to the historic Jesuit missions, or reductions (as depicted in the film The Mission).

Bradt’s Paraguay—the only English-language guidebook to this emerging tourism destination—covers the region with unrivalled detail and knowledge. Margaret Hebblethwaite has lived for the last decade in the Paraguayan countryside, where she has set up an educational charity. The book delves deep into a country that has so far eluded the grasp of mass tourism, and where rich indigenous culture and folk traditions still hold strong.

They won the first soccer World Cup. There’s a lot of beef raised on the pampa. That’s all most people know about Uruguay. Bradt’s Uruguay, the only dedicated English-language guide to this country that’s small yet bursting with character, shows that the adventur-ous tourist can uncover much more. It provides in-depth coverage of the capital, Montevideo, where the colonial Old City is being restored. There’s also detailed information on the coastal city of Colonia (on UNESCO’s World Heritage List), as well as Punta del Este, to whose beaches the Buenos Aires beautiful crowd flocks each summer. There’s advice, too, for active travelers who can rat-tle their whips on cattle-ranching estancias and spin their sticks in a game of polo or two, and for nature enthusiasts keen to watch wild-life in the western wetlands and birds in Cabo Polonio and Santa Teresa. The book also investigates the Brazilian influences behind Uruguay’s music and dance, and the country’s Afro-Uruguayan cul-ture, most noticeable in Carnaval.

Somebody once said that if you planted a walking stick overnight in the soil of Uganda, it would take root before morning dawned. Of all Africa’s safari destinations, this is the most fertile. It’s also the best destination in Africa for seeing a variety of primate spe-cies—visitors can spot more than ten types of monkey, including mountain gorillas and chimpanzees. And if primate enthusiasts are found wandering round with imbecile grins, Uganda’s birds have ornithologists doing cartwheels: more than 1,000 bird species have been recorded here, making Uganda—in practical terms—the finest birdwatching destination in Africa. Moreover, in Uganda’s premier savanna reserves, one can be almost certain of encounter-ing lions, elephants, and buffaloes.

Whether visitors want to climb to the snows of the fabled Moun-tains of the Moon, raft the headwaters of the mighty Nile, or mar-vel at the legendary tree-climbing lions of Ishasha, this sixth edition of Philip Briggs’s much-praised guide is the most comprehensive resource available.

Ukraine is something of an enigma for the visitor. The largest coun-try by area in Europe, it remains one of the least visited, yet it has retained the rustic, Old World beauty of Eastern Europe, and its place names are heavy with historical significance: Kiev, Crimea, Sevastopol, Odessa, and Chernobyl.

This fully updated third edition of Bradt’s Ukraine keeps visitors up to speed with this rapidly evolving country. Covering every-thing from the best places for borsch to the best walks along the Black Sea—alongside an in-depth exploration of Ukraine’s history, culture and natural beauty—this is the most comprehensive and practical guide available to a destination as yet undiscovered by the tourist crowds.

Bradt’s Estonia remains the only English-language guidebook to this Baltic destination, and this sixth edi-tion reveals more of the country than ever before. Readers now discover why Miss Estonia likes antique cars, where Eiffel built before Paris, and why Edward VII could not land in Tallinn to meet Tsar Nicholas II and instead had to spend three days in the harbor. Offering extensive coverage of Estonia’s complex cul-tural history and its artists, writers, and musicians, alongside comprehensive practical information, Baltic expert Neil Taylor proves that there’s much more to Estonia than the cobbled streets and cafés of Tallinn.

Greece is the cradle of civilization, and the Peloponnese is the cradle of Greece: Olympia is here, so are the mountains of Arcadia and Homer’s Mycenae. But Bradt’s Greek Peloponnese also embraces the living world: the traditional panagyria (village festivals) and the people who still embody the Greek spirit of philoxenia, or hospitality to strangers. It leads travelers to idyllic campsites by ancient theatres; luxurious, boutique hotels; picnic spots in olive groves; buzzing towns and hidden communities. It reveals the best places to eat, hike, kayak, or to spot the famous loggerhead turtle. It’s the best guide to the best of Greece.

Yorkshire is one of only two counties in England blessed with two national parks as well as a heritage coast-line and three officially recognized “areas of outstanding natural beauty.” Its manmade heritage is also rich and diverse. Yorkshire is home to many famous castles, well-known abbeys, and country houses and estates. The historical Viking occupation left a lasting legacy in place names, boat design, and a very distinct dialect, especially along the coast and up the Ouse valley.

Keen geographers know that Baikal is the world’s largest freshwater lake, and that it’s home to unique species such as the nerpa freshwater seal. But Lake Baikal is much more than a body of water. Here, two cultures—Russian and Mongol—meet. The area is steeped in shamanism and Buddhism, while the lake’s shores are scored by the tracks of the Trans-Siberian Railway. This is the first English-language guide dedicated to Lake Baikal and its surroundings. It provides full coverage of activities, wildlife, culture, and religion, as well as practical information on traveling in this diverse corner of Siberia.

There’s more to Malawi than its lake. This fifth edition of the Bradt guide explores the country’s rolling plateaux and massifs, and its five national parks and four game reserves. Adventurers, meanwhile, can dis-cover how to kayak off Cape Maclear, hike up Mount Mulanje, or cross the wildlife-rich Nyika Plateau on horseback. The book covers the country’s dynamic music scene and uncovers little-visited gems such as Dedza and Elephant Marsh. And if visitors must find a luxury lodge on Lake Malawi’s palm-fringed shore on whose deck to sip their sundowners—well, this book tells them how to pull that off, too.

Packed into this island nation are 7,000 years of fascinating—and visible—history, and the Bradt guide delves into Malta’s temples and archaeology more comprehen-sively than any other guidebook. Also covering birdwatching, sum-mer fiestas, the less commercialized islands of Gozo and Comino, and highlighting accommodation and restaurants of interest and character rather than just looking at convenience and budget, this guidebook discovers the Malta beyond the tourist resorts.

“More impressive even than the gorillas’ size and bearing is their unfathomable attitude to their daily human visitors. . . .

Fifteen years after the tragic genocide of 1994, Rwanda is rapidly emerging as one of Africa’s most exciting ecotourism destinations, with three diverse national parks. This is the only English-language guidebook dedicated to the country, and this updated fourth edition lists the newest hotels, tours, activities, and operators—and, of course, information on how to track its famous mountain gorillas.

The Pantanal of Brazil, Bolivia, and Paraguay is South America’s Serengeti: its wetlands are the largest on Earth (they’re half the size of France) and, in the dry season, crocodiles and storks jostle to gobble the last of the dying fish. Here, the continent’s largest cat, the jaguar, lives alongside giant otters, anacondas, and the world’s largest parrot. A comprehensive introduction to the best place to watch wildlife in South America, and beautifully illustrated through-out, Bradt’s Pantanal Wildlife is the only portable book to cover all the main wildlife groups while focusing exclusively on the Pantanal.

THE RED CORNER

The Rise and Fall of Communism in Northeastern Montana

Verlaine Stoner McDonald

978-0-9759196-7-5 • MARCH 2010

$16.95 US/$21.50 CAN • North America • Paper • 6 x 9 • 220 pp History

The Red Corner chronicles the events of the teens and 1920s that left a permanent mark on northeast Montana. Sheridan County was the site of an armed robbery of $100,000 from the county treasury, a Young Communist camp, an adolescent’s “Bolshevik funeral,” and surveillance by FBI agents who pursued some radi-cal leaders even into the 1960s. The book profiles several influen-tial Communists, including a colorful newspaper editor who was elected state senator and later national chairman of the Farmer Labor Party, and his comrade, the county sheriff, who was alleg-edly involved in graft, prostitution, and bootlegging. In spite of its notoriety, the farmers’ movement became one of the nation’s most successful rural Communist organizations during the 1920s.

By the beginning of the Great Depression decade, however, Com-munism in northeastern Montana was crippled. The Red Corner details this strange reversal of fortune by examining newspaper accounts, FBI reports, and internal Communist Party files. In doing so it offers unique insights into how political movements arise, sustain themselves, and decline.
