Mary Shelley's Frankenstein is one of the masterpieces of nineteenth-century Gothicism. While stay-ing in the Swiss Alps in 1816 with her lover Percy Shelley, Lord Byron, and others, Mary, then eighteen, began to concoct the story of Dr. Victor Frankenstein and the monster he brings to life by electricity. Written in a time of great personal tragedy, it is a subversive and morbid story warning against the dehumanization of art and the corrupting influence of science. Packed with allusions and literary references, it is also one of the best thrillers ever written. Frankenstein; Or, the Modern Prometheus was an instant bestseller on publication in 1818. The prototype of the science fiction novel, it has spawned countless imitations and adaptations but retains its original power.This Modern Library edition includes a new Introduction by Wendy Steiner, the chair of the English department at the University of Pennsylvania and author of The Scandal of Pleasure. Mary Shelley was born Mary Wollstonecraft Godwin in 1797 in London. She eloped to France with Shelley, whom she married in 1816. After Frankenstein, she wrote several novels, including Valperga and Falkner, and edited editions of the poetry of Shelley, who had died in 1822. Mary Shelley died in London in 1851.

"Prince&rsquo;s ('What Do Wheels Do All Day?') text is intriguingly spare, letting Davenier&rsquo;s ('The First Thing My Mama Told Me') softly exuberant wintertime scenes shine."&mdash;The New York Times "Swift, impressionistic sketches filled with soft pastel-hued washes create pastoral snowy scenes that contrast with the warmer, more saturated domestic scenes and with the thick-lined, cherry-red snowplow. Long, layered smears of white create a satisfying illusion of a blizzard, and Davenier utilizes various interesting perspectives, such as the view into the snowy woods from behind the windshield. . . . A winning, winter race." &mdash;Kirkus Reviews  "The composition of the art and the increasing textual energy create urgency and tension as the snowplow battles the elements from page to page. . . . The text avoids labeling who the characters are to one another, leaving room for many families to find themselves in the story." &mdash;The Horn Book  "Rhyming, minimal text coupled with fetching illustrations by Davenier expertly convey the exhilarating drama of entering into a snowstorm as well as the comfy feelings of being in a warm house while the weather is frightful."&mdash;School Library Journal &#160; "Prince writes with bustling verbs&mdash;slip, slide, chase, spin, whistling, howling, climbing, growling&mdash;as the plow chugs along, the snowy winds accumulate and father and daughter, always smiling, brave the elements.&#160; The page turns on these landscape-oriented spreads are especially compelling as the vehicle plows through the snow toward its destination. At one point, illustrator Christine Davenier even puts readers in the vehicle, seated behind father and daughter as we look through the windshield with them. Reds, greens and blues pop off these snowy-white spreads, as do the lemony yellows of the snowplow&rsquo;s headlights and the sun trying to peek through winter clouds."&mdash;BookPage  &#160; "In this streamlined story in rhyme, the snow is piling up and our protagonist needs to get into town. Fortunately, her father drives the snowplow, so through the snow the pair go, with the occasional slip and slide, as they try to make it to town in time. . . . While there are touches of Davenier&rsquo;s familiar peacock tones and fluid watercolor washes, she&rsquo;s also got some grainier pencil-type textures that add coziness, and the outside scenes are creamily frosted, muting the hue of the tomato-red truck." &mdash;The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books

"Meticulously researched and intricately structured, this monograph blazes a new trail in the historiography of the ROC. By reconstructing key formative moments of the church’s experience and action in the early twentieth century, this original analysis gives the reader a more comprehensive sense of context for understanding the ecclesiological identity of the Russian Orthodox today, its relations with the state and its more recent elaborations of the notion of canonical territory. Th is book will be welcomed by specialists and advanced students of the Orthodox Church, but though it is not intended as an introductory text its highly readable presentation will make it very rewarding to the non-specialist as well." - Andrii Krawchuk, St Vladimir’s Theological Quarterly 59:4 (2015) 485–498
"This is an important work of scholarship that will serve as a vital reference point for all future research on the international dimension of the Russian Orthodox Church. The book will most definitely be of use to specialists in twentieth-century church history and theologians who focus on modern inter-church relations."James White, Europe-Asia Studies

It is fresh and contemporary - bursting with modern-day examples and case studies of real-world applications of linguistics - and comes at a critical moment both for this diversifying field but also in light of recent global developments.

&ldquo;One of those books that&rsquo;s so profoundly aligned with the zeitgeist that you end up underlining the whole book. . . . Bruce Feiler is the perfect person to lead us on this journey.&rdquo;&#160;&mdash;Arianna Huffington,&#160;Thrive Global&#160; &ldquo;This is a remarkably poignant read about the pivotal moments in our lives. Bruce Feiler gets to the heart of how turning points shape us&mdash;and how we can shape them. The wisdom and stories in this book will change the way you tell your own story.&rdquo;&#160;&mdash;Adam Grant, bestselling author of&#160;Originals&#160;and&#160;Give and Take &#160; &ldquo;Crammed with cutting-edge research and compelling real-world examples,&#160;Life Is in the Transitions&#160;provides a framework of striking originality that explodes with thought-provoking insights. It has profound implications for how we view and handle the transitions&mdash;voluntary and involuntary&mdash;that increasingly disrupt our lives. And it&rsquo;s one of the rare books that is a pleasure to read in the moment and impossible to forget once you&rsquo;ve finished the last page.&rdquo;&#160;&mdash;Gretchen Rubin, bestselling author of&#160;The Happiness Project&#160;and&#160;The Four Tendencies &#160; &ldquo;I don&rsquo;t know what&rsquo;s more astonishing, the range of stories Bruce Feiler has found in asking people about their lives, or the wisdom he extracts from them. There is no more powerful reminder that the stories we inherit define success&mdash;and that definition constantly needs updating. This beautiful book is an indispensable guide to accepting change&mdash;as it really is, rather than what it&rsquo;s supposed to be&mdash;and becoming who we really are.&rdquo;&#160;&mdash;Charles Duhigg, author of bestsellers&#160;The Power of Habit&#160;and&#160;Smarter Faster Better &ldquo;Life Is in the Transitions is essential reading for anyone in the act of becoming&mdash;which is to say, all of us. Timely, wise and ultimately uplifting, the 15th book from Savannah native and self-described &lsquo;lifestorian&rsquo; Bruce Feiler (The Council of Dads) offers an insightful, pragmatic toolkit for navigating the unexpected, uncertain and often upending disruptions of our lives, and for rewriting the next chapters in our ever-changing stories.&rdquo; &mdash;Charleston Post & Courier &ldquo;[Feiler] offers in this insightful work timely suggestions for anyone adapting to significant life changes . . . He also presents evidence discrediting the notion of the midlife crisis and demonstrates that everyone&rsquo;s life contains multiple significant &lsquo;upheavals and uncertainties,&rsquo; which should thus be accepted as normal, contrary to conventional wisdom. The findings buttress practical suggestions for responding to major change, including identifying emotions, giving up old mindsets, testing alternatives, and seeking help from others. This logical, persuasive resource will resonate with any self-help reader.&rdquo; &mdash;Publishers Weekly &ldquo;This highly recommended title couldn&rsquo;t be more timely. . . . Feiler details a model for life transitions based on thousands of interviews with people from all walks of life and tells readers how to memorialize changes and give up old mind-sets. A helpful bonus is the complete outline for writing one&rsquo;s own story or that of others.&rdquo;&#160;&mdash;Library Journal &#160; &ldquo;An engaging consideration of how people navigate the highs and lows in their lives . . . [Feiler&rsquo;s] relaxed, informal style is reassuring, and the numerous anecdotes gleaned from his wide variety of interview subjects keep the narrative fresh. His encouraging counsel will appeal to many.&rdquo;&#160;&mdash;Booklist &ldquo;In&#160;Life Is in the Transitions, Bruce Feiler listens to, synthesizes, and helps make meaning of the American story at this complicated moment. With a big, open heart, he helps us all better understand our own stories, what it means to be human and how to navigate challenges and change.&#160;Along the way, he powerfully reminds us of the singular importance of honoring each other&rsquo;s stories and lives through listening.&rdquo;&#160;&mdash;Dave Isay, founder, Storycorps &#160; "Bruce Feiler has a real knack for helping us see what is not obvious but is right in front of our eyes. In this clear, terrifically compelling book, full of instructive examples, he names and describes the &lsquo;lifequake&rsquo; personal transitions that affect so many of us today and offers genuine wisdom, valuable counsel, and moving inspiration that make the journey easier.

&ldquo;In the dark days after Pearl Harbor, a swashbuckling band of volunteer pilots gave America something to cheer about with their exploits against the Japanese in far-off China. Through long-lost letters and diaries, Sam Kleiner has brought these gallant warriors to life. The Flying Tigers is a rousing tale that will keep you turning the page.&rdquo; &mdash;Evan Thomas, New York Times&#160;bestselling author of Sea of Thunder &#160; &ldquo;This is a movie waiting to be made&mdash;a great adventure story that is all the more gripping because it really happened. These pilots remind us of why we&rsquo;re proud to be American, ordinary young men who became heroes at a time when American victories were scarce. Some were killed, leaving their hometowns grieving. Some spent years as prisoners of the Japanese, uncertain whether they&rsquo;d ever make it home again. All should be remembered. Kleiner is a gifted researcher and storyteller. He does the story of these men justice, and that is saying something.&rdquo; &mdash;Michael Punke, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Revenant&ldquo;The&#160;Flying Tigers&#160;is a meticulously researched work of history that reads like a&#160;thriller. Packed with characters that&#160;come off the pages,&#160;it draws the reader into a world of dare-devil flying and covert operations in China in the opening days of World War II.&#160;The Flying Tigers&#160;marks the debut of an incredibly talented new historian and is a must-read not only for World War II aficionados but for anyone who likes a good story. It is full of them.&rdquo;&mdash;Amy Chua, Yale Law professor and&#160;New York Times&#160;bestselling author of&#160;Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother&#160;and&#160;Political Tribes&ldquo;As the United States navigates a complex and challenging relationship with China today,&#160;The Flying Tigers&#160;offers a vivid reminder that our two countries have pulled together in the past to meet shared threats. Sam Kleiner artfully tells the story of the forgotten World War II alliance, and the role of dynamic individuals in shaping it&mdash;and anyone interested in understanding America&rsquo;s relationship with China should delve into this gripping history.&rdquo;&mdash;Jake Sullivan, Former National Security Adviser to the Vice President and Director of Policy Planning at the U.S. Department of State&ldquo;The Flying Tigers has it all: aerial guerilla warfare, foreign intrigue, inspiring heroism, and a Hollywood-worthy cast of colorful misfits, rebels, and patriotic adventurers, all woven into an electrifying narrative.&rdquo; &mdash;Thurston Clarke, author of Pearl Harbor Ghosts and&#160;The Last Campaign&ldquo;Sam Kleiner has bridged a critical gap in American military history with a gripping account of how the Roosevelt administration was secretly leading us into World War II a half-a-year before Pearl Harbor. This is a story with mercenaries, aerial dogfights, love affairs, burning cities and shadow diplomacy but more than that, this tells us how the U.S. got an early jump on its war against Imperial Japan at the beginning of the Pacific Century.&rdquo;&mdash;Tom Zoellner, author of&#160;Uranium&ldquo;Kleiner&rsquo;s meticulous research provides crucial, unexplored background on Claire Chennault and the formation of the American Volunteer Group and lends important context to Roosevelt&rsquo;s decision to help China before Pearl Harbor pulled the United States into the war. He covers the topic from the operational perspective without becoming mired in tactical details or irrelevant controversies. His is thus the clearest narrative of the group we&rsquo;ve been given yet and will doubtlessly capture the imagination of a new generation of readers who have not heard this incredible story.&rdquo; &mdash;Dan Jackson, author of Famine, Sword, and Fire: The Liberation of Southwest China in World War II&ldquo;Sam Kleiner&rsquo;s book brings back memories of China and Burma. I&rsquo;m glad he is continuing the legacy of the Tigers.&rdquo; &mdash;Frank Losonsky, last surviving Flying Tiger
