"A useful — and sprightly! — effort to get at the choice between individual and systemic action on the greatest problem we've ever faced. I found it a helpful spur to creative thinking and action, and I bet you will as well. Read it, and then get out there and change the politics and economics that are driving us towards — well, if not hell, then a place with a similar temperature." 
— Bill McKibben, author, The End of Nature 
"Sami Grover's wise book charts a middle way to win transformational change. He challenges us to embrace our climate hypocrisy as a goal to uproot the structures that are killing the planet without losing sight of the strategic individual actions we can take right now. We can't curate our way out of the climate crisis as consumers — we must replace the system that makes us climate hypocrites. We climate hypocrites have agency, in varying degrees, to take actions that multiplied by the millions will help to win the big changes we need to survive. With our eyes on the stars and our feet on the ground, we can meet ourselves where we are without guilt and act for a more equitable, just, and sustainable world. Let this book show you how."
— Bill Corcoran, Sierra Club's Beyond Coal campaign
"If you are a climate concerned person who struggles with the nuanced complexity of being "green," Sami's book will help you navigate this contemporary moral maze with intelligent bigger picture thinking plus a rich seam of strategies and initiatives large and small for a healthier planet." 
— Maddy Harland, co-founder & editor, Permaculture Magazine, author, Fertile Edges 
"We're All Climate Hypocrites Now is part eco-therapy, part climate strategy, and a fantastic antidote to the overwhelm that comes along with living in a global ecological crisis. Say goodbye to those little voices in your head (or those loud voices on Facebook) calling you a hypocrite because you don't bike to work, aren't vegan, fly to a protest, and still haven't taken out that loan for those rooftop solar panels. This book is a fresh and informative unpacking of why we must abandon the notion that individual eco-perfection is possible — or even impactful — in the absence of system-wide change. It's an inspiring call to let go of the "either or" mentality, to fully embrace the "both and," and to remember to go easy on ourselves and each other as we lean in even further into this painful, chaotic yet exciting time of (r)evolution." 
— Danna Smith, executive director, Dogwood Alliance
"Nobody knows more about the business of sustainability than Sami Grover. He brings a welcome dose of wit, clarity, and levity to the green movement." 
— Brian Merchant, best-selling author, The One Device 
"On every page of this rip-roaring read I found myself, my partner, my neighbour, my colleagues, my family, and my friends and every holier-than-thou temptation, every emptying out of the compost bin, every person who berated me for traveling for work with refugees. Hypocrisy is in our DNA, and in this book it is both hilariously observed, with all the dry wit of a Brit, and pragmatically harnessed for good. I honestly could not put it down. It's a tour de force for hope. And kindness. And love for the world and the future." 
— Alison Phipps, UNESCO Chair for Refugee Integration through Languages and the Arts, University of Glasgow

Praise for Richard O'Rawe's Northern Heist . . .    &ldquo;Full of double- and triple-crosses&hellip; Northern&#160;Heist&rsquo;s deeds and details seem as real as a smashed kneecap, while its stopwatch tension, heightened by present-tense voice, is reminiscent of such classic caper films as &rsquo;Rififi&rsquo; and &rsquo;The Asphalt Jungle&rsquo;.&rdquo; &mdash;Tom Nolan, The Wall Street Journal &ldquo;Gripping &hellip; A hugely impressive and skillfully crafted debut novel &hellip; Its dialogue is sharp and venomous &hellip; O&rsquo;Rawe&rsquo;s confidence as a storyteller takes off as the heist begins, dropping you in all kinds of damned places.&rdquo;&#160; &mdash; The Irish times &ldquo;O&rsquo;Rawe channels both Elmore Leonard and Guy Ritchie in this heist thriller full of sharp twists and gritty dialogue, emerging with a style all his own. His reimagining of the real-life bank heist feels so authentic readers will hope he has a strong alibi.&rdquo; &mdash; Publishers Weekly starred review  &#160; &ldquo;As authentic as a jar of Guinness and as real as an exit wound.

"In The Crane Wife, Hauser undertakes a new way for her to tell stories from her life, playing with history and personal history, exploring the possible hidden truths in her family's past and her own. The result is like interconnected short stories but about her life, the person she is and was, maybe even the person she never knew herself to be. Funny, exciting, vulnerable&mdash;truly visionary."&mdash;Alexander Chee, author of Edinburgh and Queen of the Night"The Crane Wife more than delivers on the immense promise of the viral essay that served as its source. My goodness is it funny, but also so devastatingly honest and bracing. Reading it is like taking a long road trip with your wisest, sharpest friend and talking the entire way."&mdash;R. Eric Thomas, author of Here for It"Hauser&rsquo;s wisdom radiated out of her viral Paris Review essay, which resonated with more than a million readers. What could be better than a whole book made of that same elegant, precise and perceptive stuff?"&mdash;BookPage"Hauser...weav[es] together a memoir about redefining love and living life outside of traditional boundaries."&mdash;Time"[Hauser's] wide-ranging and widely anticipated memoir&ndash;cum&ndash;essay collection...reflect[s] her determination to look for the unexpected and avoid accepted narratives of happiness."&mdash;Library JournalPraise for &ldquo;The Crane Wife&rdquo; essay, via Twitter: &ldquo;Take a break.

Settle in with a full mug of hot cider and a cozy blanket: you won't want to put Ravenfall down."&mdash;Tracy Badua, author of Freddie vs. the Family Curse"As cozy as a warm cup of tea in the middle of a graveyard at midnight on Halloween.

From the reviews:“This monograph is most suitable for electrochemists wanting to learn about applications in archeology and art conservation. … chapters are written at a lower-division undergraduate level and are easily accessible to a general educated public. … Summing Up: Recommended. … upper-division undergraduates through researchers/faculty with a background in electrochemistry.” (L. D. Frame, Choice, Vol. 47 (4), December, 2009)“A valuable and well-prepared book for analysts, archaeologists, and art historians. It is written by competent authors with considerable electroanalytical experience and knowledge of material science and who are working practically in the field of application of chemical analysis for archaeometry. The book is well illustrated from the point of view of both the fundamentals of the methods discussed and also numerous applications. There are numerous citations to original papers published in scientific journals … which is very useful in searching for the original literature.”­­­ (Marek Trojanowicz, Analytical and Bioanalytical Chemistry, Vol. 397, June, 2010)“This new monograph provides a well-written insight into a field of practical electrochemistry of fascinating samples. … give a very helpful overview with many examples and references. … provide a valuable resource to art analysts and conservationists with a broad range of information accumulated into a unique single resource. … In conclusion, this book is written in an approachable style to encourage novices in electrochemistry into the field, and it is likely to catalyse new interactions at the interface between art conservation and electrochemistry.”­­­ (Frank Marken, Journal of Solid State Electrochemistry, Vol. 15, 2011)

Living Inside Out and Upside Down: A Journey Through the Sermon on the Mount

"An accomplished historical novel that is both steeped in period detail and full of relatable characters.... Scottoline is a master at ramping up the suspense."--Washington Post"In this book of her heart, Lisa Scottoline delivers what her readers expect and so much more, fast-paced intrigue, but also an authentic, tender coming of age tale of three best friends navigating the complexities of fascism, war, political and family strife and romantic competition."--Lisa Wingate, author of Before We Were Yours and The Book Of Lost Friends"Eternal feels so real you can almost taste the cappelletti, as you get lost in the pages on your glorious and heart-wrenching trip to Italy."--Martha Hall Kelly, author of Lilac Girls and Sunflower Sisters&ldquo;Powerful and absorbing&hellip;at the heart of the novel is an enduring message, that what&rsquo;s perhaps most heroic in any life is to love fiercely and completely, in spite of loss and betrayal, and even beyond death.&rdquo;--Paula McLain, author of The Paris Wife and When the Stars Go Dark&ldquo;With characters who change and grow and enough twists and turns to keep you guessing, Eternal is a blockbuster with cinematic intensity.&rdquo;--Christina Baker Kline, author of Orphan Train and The Exiles"Make a plate of fettuccine, pour a glass of red wine, and settle in with this captivating tale. You will cry tears of sadness and joy. Scottoline&rsquo;s Italian heritage combined with all her diligent research will keep this story in readers&rsquo; hearts."--Library Journal (starred review) &ldquo;A beautiful, heartbreaking, wrenching love story set in the Second World War. It&rsquo;s alive with characters I cared about deeply - including the remarkable city of Rome, itself - and their courage in the face of Fascism.&rdquo;--Chris Bohjalian, author of Midwives and The Flight Attendant&#160; "This nuanced take on WWII Italy offers a variety of perspectives, but at its heart, this is a love story, with heroes lost being warmly remembered and love conquering all&hellip;.Best-selling crime writer Scottoline successfully changes course in a coming-of-age WWII love story that will entrance fans and newcomers alike."--Booklist&ldquo;Scottoline&rsquo;s admirable foray into historical fiction&hellip;expertly brings historical events to life. Fans of WWII fiction will be drawn to this immersive, emotional novel.&rdquo;--Publishers Weekly&ldquo;Quite a change from Scottoline&rsquo;s bestselling contemporary thrillers: an ambitious, deeply researched historical account of three Roman families caught in the meltdown of Fascist Italy...Heartfelt.&rdquo;--Kirkus Reviews&ldquo;A powerfully moving story of loss, loyalty, family and love.&rdquo;--Woman's World&ldquo;As Americans go through huge growing pains (hopefully leading to something positive) in terms of their own racist pasts, Eternal offers us hope. Somehow love really can save the day--romantic love, brotherhood, spiritual love, love for a good nation and the democratic process. May the scholarship and literary invention of this extraordinary novel find a home in the hearts of readers everywhere.&rdquo;--Bookreporter.com"I absolutely loved this page-turning novel. The writing is superb, and the historical research is outstanding. Eternal is an important book about the Holocaust and fascist Italy, and tells a story that needs to be told. As a Holocaust educator and a Child Refugee Survivor of the Holocaust, I strongly recommend everyone read this book."--Dr. Miriam Klein Kassenoff, Director, The Holocaust Teacher Institute, University of Miami"Eternal is remarkable historical fiction that brings to life Rome in the years leading up to and during WWII on the shoulders of unforgettable characters caught up on all sides of terrible events spinning beyond their control. Scottoline&rsquo;s research is impeccable, her storytelling is propulsive, and the emotional times she describes are deep, moving, and yes, eternal."&#160;--Mark Sullivan, bestselling author of Beneath a Scarlet Sky"The master storyteller Lisa Scottoline is at the height of her powers with Eternal. This magnificent epic is the story of&#160; three childhood friends who come of age during World War II Italy.&#160;You are with them in the worst of times as they navigate their lost dreams. You will root for their&#160;survival as they find redemption&#160;in a post-war world they must build with hope. Love. Faith. Friendship.&#160;Courage. It's all&#160;here and it is essential reading."--Adriana Trigiani, bestselling author of Lucia, Lucia and The Shoemaker's Wife"In Eternal, Lisa Scottoline expands her formidable talents to World War II Italy and the heartwarming tale of three families whose intersecting worlds are torn apart. Scottoline captures the tragic beauty of wartime Rome through the eyes of unforgettable characters with whom readers will hope and mourn and cheer. A passionate story of friendship, loyalty, and unbridled heroism."--Pam Jenoff, bestselling author of The Lost Girls of Paris&ldquo;Eternal is a gripping story of suffering and survival.&#160; It unspools at a heart-stopping pace,&#160; yet each page resonates with emotions: fear, hope, sorrow, yearning, love, empathy, sympathy, and, ultimately, joy.&#160; The book lives up to its title.&#160; It will echo in the minds of readers for a long time.&rdquo;--Sandra Brown"What Elena Ferrante did with her Neapolitan Quartet, Scottoline does for war-time Rome: brings it to life as the city is ripped apart by men in power and barely held together by the courage and decency of those who stand against them. Eternal is a must read."--Lorenzo Carcaterra&ldquo;At its heart, Eternal is a beautiful, heartbreaking, yet ultimately uplifting love story. Meticulously researched, this riveting World War II-era novel explores what happens when beautiful Elisabetta must choose between lifelong best friends Sandro and Marco. As they get caught up in the madness that overtakes Italy when it becomes a satellite of Hitler and the Third Reich,&#160;each must make a gut-wrenching choice that determines the course of the rest of their lives. Action-packed and haunting, Eternal will stay with you for a long time after you finish reading it. I loved this book!&rdquo;--Karen Robards, author of The Black Swan of Paris "Lisa Scottoline is a magnificent storyteller. Eternal is a triangular story of first love, told against the backdrop of WWII in Rome, that is both terrifying and magical; three young people at one of the worst times in history are filled with love, hate, fear, rage, and at the end, survival and hope. Eternal is brilliantly written. Scottoline hits new heights in this spellbinding tale of decades-old family secrets and rips apart the fragility of first loves. I was pulled in from the first page by the lives of Scottoline&rsquo;s characters as they tried to make their way through events beyond their control in this richly detailed story that makes you feel like you&rsquo;re right alongside them."&#160;--Andrew Mayne, author of The Naturalist and The Girl Beneath the Sea
