BE SURE TO READ THE FIRSTODESSA JONES MYSTERY!A GLIMMER OF DEATH&#160;&ldquo;The creator of Newark private eye Tamara Hayle dials back the wisecracks and bumps up the paranormal hints to launch a new series featuring a widowed African American realtor whose workplace is a hot mess.&rdquo;&#160;&mdash;Kirkus Reviews&#160;&ldquo;Widow Odessa Jones, the psychically gifted narrator of this strong series launch from Wesley, can see glimmers, auralike colors that correspond to a person&rsquo;s emotional state. . . . Wesley perfectly captures her protagonist&rsquo;s emotions, including the lingering melancholy she feels for her late husband. . . . Readers will hope to see a lot more of kind, empathetic Odessa.&rdquo;&#160;&mdash;Publishers Weekly&#160;&ldquo;There's crispness in Wesley&rsquo;s plotting and sparkle in the supporting characters....There&rsquo;s also something oddly comforting about a black woman in fiction who isn&rsquo;t weighed down by societal pathology and who can appreciate a good glass of merlot and reruns of Downton Abbey as much as the next woman. In between heavier mystery fare, this unicorn of a black cozy is a welcome palate cleanser.&rdquo;&mdash;Los Angeles Times

&ldquo;A handy, brief, readable guide to selecting a college worth the cost . . . One of the most prominent voices in the student-debt debate . . . steps back from that debate to tell us how the current higher-ed system works and how students can navigate it. Her advice is invaluable, and students and parents should take heed.&rdquo;&mdash;National Review&ldquo;Written as a how-to guide for prospective college students to navigate risk-return tradeoffs as they pursue education beyond high school . . . But the book should also prompt the rest of us to reconsider how we talk about higher education.&rdquo;&mdash;Forbes&ldquo;The high cost of college is one of those worries that keep students and parents up at night. If you&rsquo;re one of them,&#160;Making College Pay&#160;will help you sleep a bit easier by&#160;showing that a&#160;college degree is one of the safest, smartest investments you can make in your future, or your child&rsquo;s. Full of easy-to-understand advice grounded in deep expertise and research,&#160;this&#160;is the rare book that&#160;will appeal to both parents and policy wonks alike.&rdquo;&mdash;Martin West,&#160;William Henry Bloomberg Professor of Education, Harvard University&ldquo;In practical terms, choosing to attend college and deciding how to pay for it can literally be a million-dollar investment decision. No aspiring student or parent should make such decisions without the wisdom found in&#160;Making College Pay.&rdquo;&mdash;Mitchell E. Daniels, Jr., president of Purdue University and former governor of Indiana&ldquo;Choosing a college and deciding how to pay for it are two of the biggest financial decisions of a lifetime. Too many people don&rsquo;t understand their choices and make bad decisions as a result. This book is the cure for that problem.

Memoires Biographiques Et Litteraires V1 (1812)

Praise for Isaac Asimov and his Foundation series &#160; &ldquo;A true polymath, a superb rationalist, an exciting and accessible writer in both fiction and nonfiction, Isaac Asimov was simply a master of all he surveyed.&rdquo;&mdash;Greg Bear &#160; &ldquo;Asimov served wondrous meals-of-the-mind to a civilization that was starved for clear thinking about the future. To this day, his visions spice our ongoing dinner-table conversation about human destiny.&rdquo;&mdash;David Brin &#160; &ldquo;Isaac was still in his teens when I met him, a fan of mine before I was a fan of his. Writing for John W. Campbell back in the famous &lsquo;golden age of science fiction,&rsquo; he became one of the founders of our field. With the Robot stories and the Foundation stories, he helped to shape science fiction as we know it.&rdquo;&mdash;Jack Williamson &#160; &ldquo;I grew up on the ABC&rsquo;s of science fiction&mdash;Asimov, Bradbury, Clarke. There&rsquo;s a reason Asimov&rsquo;s name comes first, and not just because of the alphabet!&rdquo;&mdash;Janis Ian &#160; &ldquo;With his fertile imagination, his wit, and his prolific output, Isaac Asimov truly laid the foundation for all future generations of science fiction writers.&rdquo;&mdash;Kevin J. Anderson &#160; &ldquo;If anything can be said to have been the launch pad for space-age science fiction, it has to be the Foundation trilogy. It&rsquo;s a classic. And it&rsquo;s unforgettable.&rdquo;&mdash;Jack McDevitt &#160; &ldquo;The Foundation series is one of the masterpieces of science fiction. If you&rsquo;ve never read these novels, then you&rsquo;re in for a treat, and even if you&rsquo;ve already read them, then you owe it to yourself to reread them, because they&rsquo;re still great.&rdquo;&mdash;Allen Steele &#160; &ldquo;Quite simply, Asimov got me started.&rdquo;&mdash;Liz Williams &#160; &ldquo;Asimov&rsquo;s Foundation trilogy was the pivotal touchstone of my life in creative fiction. His vision and scope spanned the galaxy across eons, and at the same time he told deeply personal stories of living characters. The writer I am sprang from the boy that these books touched back then. They continue to move me still. Thank you, Isaac, for opening my mind and my life to the possible.&rdquo;&mdash;Tracy Hickman &#160; &ldquo;I&rsquo;m sure there will be more Foundation stories, and more robot stories, and more science-fictional mysteries, because those are Isaac&rsquo;s legacies to us. But reading them won&rsquo;t be quite the same. There was only one Isaac Asimov; there will never be another.&rdquo;&mdash;Mike Resnick

A New York Times New and Noteworthy Book&#160;&bull;&#160;A Wall Street Journal Best Book to Read This Summer &bull; A Bustle Must-Read Book &ldquo;Inspired by Joni Mitchell and James Taylor&rsquo;s romance and creative collaboration, this alluring debut has an Almost Famous vibe as it explores the gritty&mdash;and sometimes chauvinistic&mdash;side of the music industry.&rdquo; &mdash;People, Book of the Week &#160; &ldquo;In the vein of Daisy Jones and the Six and The Final Revival of Opal and Nev, Songs In Ursa Major is an intoxicating&#160;chronicle of the music industry, inspired largely by&#160;the love affair between artists&#160;Joni Mitchell and James Taylor.&rdquo;&#160;&mdash;Elle "A&#160;delightfully engaging novel about music and chasing after your dreams... Brodie plays all the right chords in her debut...&#160;we could all use a bit of carefree fun as temperatures warm up this year. So whether you&rsquo;re not quite ready to rip off your mask and go sway in the middle of a festival crowd, or you just need a break from all your post-vaccination celebrations, Songs in Ursa Major is a great opening act to the summer."&mdash;Cory Oldweiler, The Boston Globe"Brodie works with big themes &mdash; individuation, mental illness, legacy, self-destruction and redemption &mdash; but her touch is lighter than an onshore breeze. Little surprise that Village Roadshow has scooped the novel up for development as a movie... You can tell when a novelist truly loves her heroes and despises her villains... Ursa Major is plotted so tightly, its characters so vividly rendered, that you barely notice the author&rsquo;s thumb on the scale."&mdash;Chris Vognar, Los Angeles Times"Emma Brodie's debut lilts easily between the power chords of a rock anthem and the soulful nostalgia of a blues ballad, evoking the seventies rock scene through two compelling protagonists: Jesse Reid, charismatic rock star on the rise, and Jane Quinn, electrically gifted songstress struggling to get her foot on the ladder of the music world. Their passion for each other, for performing, and above all for their music makes for splashy, engrossing reading. Songs in Ursa Major is pure sun-soaked summer fun." &mdash;Kate Quinn, bestselling author of The Alice Network"Buzzy...&#160;If you&rsquo;re missing live music, look no further than Songs in Ursa Major by Emma Brodie."&mdash;Real Simple"Brodie captures the early-&rsquo;70s singer/songwriter scene in intricate detail, chronicling the ups and downs of the lives of working musicians&mdash;the grind of touring, the strain of recording, the joy of performing. But it&rsquo;s also a novel about the inner life of a talented, unique woman determined to maintain her identity, even if it means sacrificing her chance at stardom."&mdash;Nanette Donohue, The News-Gazette"Entrancing&hellip; This superbly crafted debut novel immerses readers in a story of family, love, and music from the first page. Brodie makes a point about the destructive force of drug abuse, and bears witness to unsavory business practices in the music industry. This book would make a wonderful movie; readers will long for an album of Jane&rsquo;s songs to go with it.&rdquo; &mdash;Library Journal, starred"Inspired by the folk rock scene of the late 1960s and '70s, Brodie&rsquo;s debut novel follows Jane Quinn, an ethereal and talented musician, as she navigates love, loss, and stardom... Brodie thoughtfully probes the different ways men and women were treated in the music industry: the men coddled and protected in the face of their faults while the women (especially rule breakers like Jane) were taken advantage of, undercut, and vilified... Brodie&rsquo;s writing&mdash;about music, family, and grief&mdash;elevates the novel. An enjoyable debut that will appeal to fans of this iconic era."&mdash;Kirkus"Moving from New York to Los Angeles to Greece to the Grammys... Brodie's debut is a furious page turner, meditating on the glittering beast of fame."&mdash;Booklist&ldquo;In this spirited and fearless debut, Emma Brodie gets right to the heart of the matter: what&mdash;and who&mdash;will we sacrifice for art? Who has power over the stories we tell? What secrets will we keep for the people who love us? Like a perfect summer song, Songs in Ursa Major breathes new life into a familiar tune and will work its way into your heart and not let go.&rdquo; &#160;&mdash;Cynthia D&rsquo;Aprix Sweeney, New York Times bestselling author of The Nest and Good Company"Emma Brodie is a gifted storyteller, taking us from exhilaration to heartbreak and back again, all the while tackling issues of sexism in the music industry, the stigma of mental illness, and the way artistry can cost us fame and vice versa. I loved this book." &mdash;Angie Kim, author of Miracle Creek"Songs in Ursa Major reads like sexy, confessional liner notes to the age of the singer-songwriter. Emma Brodie sieves through history to give us a behind-the-scenes, behind-closed-doors view of an aspiring singer&rsquo;s tumultuous rise to fame. But if Jane Quinn and Jesse Reid will be familiar to fans of Joni Mitchell and James Taylor, they are also intimate and sparklingly original. A drenching, delicious and impressive debut.&rdquo; &mdash;Paula McLain, New York Times bestselling author of The Paris Wife and When the Stars Go Dark"I&rsquo;ve never read a book that so uniquely captures the experience of creativity and the shimmering coolness of being in a recording studio as music history is made.&#160; Emma Brodie perfectly channels the languorous romance of the time and the beautiful struggle of an artistic soul trying to break free.&#160; So many of the passages throughout Songs in Ursa Major are such pure poetry, I got chills as I read them.&#160; I could drink a case of this book, and I&rsquo;d still be on my feet." &mdash;Kevin Kwan, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Crazy Rich Asians "Songs in Ursa Major takes us on a propulsive journey: the rocky rise to stardom of a young singer songwriter who is as talented as she is beautiful, as vulnerable as she is ambitious, and as complicated as she is charismatic. Sexy, atmospheric, and entertaining &mdash; this novel is pure joy on&#160;the page.&rdquo; &mdash;Christina Baker Kline, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Orphan Train

Reponse A Sir Walter Scott, Sur Son Histoire De Napoleon (1829)

Praise for The Baker's Tale"For his latest, Hauser (The Final Recollections of Charles Dickens) expands a Dickensian anecdote into the sweet, simple tale of Ruby Spriggs, an orphan who finds refuge and then love in mid-19th-century London. . . Hauser&#8217;s spare prose, unadorned but for the scattered details that anchor the reader in a bygone age, delivers a tale true to its source of inspiration in the generous way it insists the good and pure-hearted will triumph over the wicked."&#151;Publishers WeeklyPraise for The Final Recollections of Charles Dickens:*A Publisher's Weekly Choice for Book of the Week:&#147;This beautifully crafted historical novel by the prolific Hauser&#133;delivers a crisp, colorful narrative with vivid pictures of London&#8217;s rich and poor, as well as a suspenseful, perilous drama in the style of Dickens.&#8221; &#151;Publishers Weekly, Starred Review&#147;Charles Dickens still has one more story to tell. And what a story it is&#151;fit for the plot of a classic Dickens composition&#133;Hauser's mastery of Dickensian language and dramatic flair creates engaging historical fiction, and his depiction of Dickens's social philosophy of championing the poor will resonate with contemporary readers who are concerned about income inequality. Fans of the 19th-century author or of well-researched historical fiction will savor this work.&#8221; &#151;Library Journal"In many ways, the story is illuminating (especially about Dickens' early career, before he married Catherine Hogarth, in 1836.).... Hauser is right to speculate about one of the world's greatest novelists and suggest that an early event in his life subsequently shaped the rest of his years as well as his brilliant writing career... Thomas Hauser should be given credit for assimilating and then processing so much of Charles Dickens' life&#151;an enormous task by any standards." &#151;Counterpunch&#147;Hauser has taken some liberties with Dickens's timeline, but has also included key biographical details&#151;such as his unhappy marriage to Catherine Hogarth&#151;that will delight devoted students of the writer. What is even more delightful is how truly Dickensian Hauser's novel proves to be, exploring not only this imagined incident but also the real man's favorite themes of London life and class inequalities.&#8221; &#151;Shelf Awareness&#147;Hauser brings the culture and vibrant personalities of Dickens&#8217;s world back to life&#8221; &#151;The New CriterionPraise for Thomas Hauser&#147;For the last few years Booklist has heaped praise on Hauser&#8217;s annual look back at the previous year in boxing. This year is no different. Why is Hauser one of the best sports journalists working today? He is an unashamed lover of boxing but never hesitates in exposing its flaws&#133; Wonderful writing from a world-class journalist.&#8221; &#151;Booklist, Starred ReviewPraise for Muhammad Ali: His Life and Times&#147;Hauser compiles opinions from a wide-ranging roster of interviewees to create a portrait of the controversial boxing champ that bristles with insights, jabs and tributes.&#8221; &#151;Publishers Weekly&#147;A detailed, if hagiographic, account of Ali's public career and private life. Hauser (author of one of the best books ever on the fight game, 1985's Black Lights) is an obvious and uncritical fan of Ali's, whom he apotheosizes early on as the most recognizable person on earth.' &#133;Hauser does a good job of marshaling a wealth of facts into a cohesive whole and providing behind-the-scenes glimpses of a ring lion in the autumn, if not winter, of his years.&#8221; &#151;Kirkus &#147;The first definitive biography of...the boxer who transcended sports as no other athlete ever has.&#8221; &#151;The New York Times Book Review&#147;How many Muhammad Ali's have we seen during his tempestuous ride through 30 years of roller-coaster American history? Ali rode that roller coaster with zest and pride and humor and class.&#8221; &#151;Chicago Tribune&#147;Compelling...I doubt that we shall ever see a more comprehensive portrait of this extraordinary athlete.&#8221; &#151;The Sporting News &#147;A new generation is about to rediscover this exemplar of the Zeitgeist of the 1960s....The awesome pressures mortals can't imagine...were somehow converted into motivation by Ali. And this comprehensive, poignant, and knowing book is sure to be a catalyst of his coming renaissance....Ali was bigger than boxing, and so is this book.&#8221; &#151; The Nation&#147;A measuring stick for at least three decades of America -- who we were, how we changed and what we became.&#8221; &#151;New York Post&#147;Extensive and fascinating detail; first-rate....The triumph of the "witness" technique in biography may be judged complete.&#8221; &#151;New York Daily News&#147;A magnificent book [about] a life that needs to be understood whether you care a whit about boxing or not.&#8221; &#151;The Boston Globe&#147;You're liable to find Muhammad Ali in the sports section of your bookstore, and that's certainly one place it belongs. Ali was a massive presence in sports for decades. But this book should be in the biography section as well, because like all good biography, it teaches us something about what it means to try to make a meaningful life in this slippery world. And it should be in the history section, because Ali has been a force in contemporary events second to no American.&#8221; &#151;National Public RadioMissing&#147;Devastating.&#8221; &#151;The New York Times Book Review
