&ldquo;A skilled exploration of why notable 20th-century European philosophers and intellectuals &mdash; figures such as Martin Heidegger, Carl Schmitt, Walter Benjamin and Michel Foucault, among others &mdash; had at times succumbed to what [Lilla] calls &lsquo;tyrannophilia,' a narcissistic embrace of totalitarian politics, assuming that tyrants would put their big ideas into action." &mdash;Carlos Lozada, The Washington Post&ldquo;The essays that make up Mark Lilla&rsquo;s book . . . are driven by his sense of disappointment, a lover&rsquo;s kind of disappointment, that such profound and influential minds should have been so politically insouciant when confronted by the hectic barbarity of the 20th century. . . . Lilla has a gift for nimble exposition, and each study in his collection is illuminating, often revelatory.&rdquo; &mdash;The New York Times Book Review&ldquo;Mark Lilla is today the leading intellectual commentator in the United States on European thinkers and ideas. . . . He understands them better than they are understood in their own countries.&#160;And often better than they understand themselves.&rdquo;&#160; &mdash;Die Zeit"This is important. Lilla's short, elegant and readable book is about what happens when philosophers get tangled up in the real world. It is also a matter of recognizing that the world is in the shape that it is because of the influence of the most rarefied of minds." --Nicolas Lezard, The Guardian, Paperback of the Week"Lilla's accessible, summary look at eight 20th-century thinkers is a compilation of cautionary tales...shrewd advice...a very canny book showing us how not to think and chew politics at the same time." -- Carlin Romano, The Philadelphia Inquirer"As Mr. Lilla ably shows, what is common to these thinkers is a rejection of political philosophy. They deny the possibility of a patient, sober and rational exploration of political possibilities. And even when they become disillusioned with specific tyrants--Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Castro, Khomeini--they continue to reject political moderation and balanced analysis." --Daniel J. Mahoney, The Wall Street Journal"'Lilla has a gift for nimble exposition, and each study in his collection is illuminating, often revelatory,' Sunil Khilnani wrote here in 2002." -- The New York Times Book Review

&#9733;&#160;"Through her protagonist&rsquo;s rollicking commentary, Vail captures the anguish and hilarity at the heart of middle school."&#160;&mdash;The Horn Book, starred review&#9733; "Vail may be disguised as an adult, but somewhere inside she is hiding a sensitive, confused, hormonal, loving, and intelligent adolescent. Using Cyrano de Bergerac as a model, Vail has created a fast-paced comedy characterizing a teen girl&rsquo;s growing pains on the journey toward womanhood. Bring a tissue (or a pack), and enjoy."&#160;&mdash;VOYA, starred review&#9733;&#160;"As per her usual blend of energy, wit, and genuine emotion, Vail has created a story that is at once delightfully gossipy, playfully ironic, and deeply moving."&#160;&mdash;BCCB,&#160;starred review"Heartwarming, funny, and tender . . . Call it cute, call it clever&mdash;Vail fluently captures the spirit of today&rsquo;s American middle-schoolers."&#160;&mdash;Booklist"Hilarious and heartfelt."&#160;&mdash;Kirkus Reviews"This tween romance proves that some stories stand the test of time."&#160;&mdash;School Library Journal"Vail skillfully details the politics of middle school, mean girls, first dates, and best friends in this sensitive and funny coming-of-age story." &mdash;Publishers WeeklyPraise for Rachel Vail's Unfriended:"Another winner by Rachel Vail. At times laugh-out-loud funny, and other times heartbreaking., Unfriended is the kind of book I wish there were more of: emotionally complex, beautifully written, and impossble to put down. I never wanted it to end."&#160;&mdash;Meg Cabot"Rachel Vail should be required reading for all middle-schoolers. Deft and funny, this tale of the doom and drama of friendships played out in a digital universe is pitch-perfect and sheer fun."&#160;&mdash;Judy Blundell, author of&#160;What I Saw and How I Lied"Rachel Vail's ingenious, humorous, and compassionate storytelling brings her six narrators so fully alive that by the end of her book you cannot imagine ever 'unfriending' any of them."&#160;&mdash;Mary Pope Osborne, author of the Magic Treehouse books"With keen insight, Vail reveals the internal struggles with uncertainty and self-doubt that can plague young teens regardless of popularity status. . . With a resolution that is both realistic and hopeful, Vail captures the complexity of middle school social challenges, insightfully addressing the issues of friendships and integrity." &mdash;Publishers Weekly"Vail has a great ear for dialogue, and her characters. . . are well differentiated and realistic." &mdash;VOYA"Vail has always had her finger solidly on the pulse of middle-school social dynamics, with an uncanny ear for young teen dialogue and a real empathy for the wide and awkward range of social and physical development that characterize this age . . . Vail&rsquo;s considerable fan base alone would justify multiple-copy purchase plans, but the hot-button topic of cyberbullying will further increase requests."&#160;&mdash;Booklist"A realistic portrayal of middle school life . . . A solid choice that will ignite meaningful discussion."&#160;&mdash;School Library Journal"Vail captures the complexity of middle school social challenges, insightfully addressing the issues of friendships and integrity."&#160;&mdash;Kirkus Reviews

Well, That Was Awkward

&#8220;While Washington is filled with journalists seeking information from the military, the military seeks information from Kaplan.&#8221; &#8211;The Washington Post&#8220;There is much to praise in Kaplan's sober realism, his genuine knowledge of the world's danger zones, and his justified contempt for liberal good intentions when they are not backed by steel and will.&#8221; &#8211;The New York Review of Books&#8220;[A] fascinating intellectual exercise.&#8221; &#8211;Newsweek&#8220;One of the most thought-provoking and profound books that I have recently read. As readable as it is stimulating.&#8221; &#8211;Henry Kissinger&#8220;Kaplan draws on a rich humanist tradition to shatter the illusion of a collective, post-cold war vision of human progress. . . . [He] has become the Ayn Rand of international affairs, saying what few dare to say.&#8221; &#8211;New Statesman&#8220;Kaplan skillfully captures the relevance of classical political theory for today&#8217;s leaders, whether they manage crises in the boardroom or the Oval Office.&#8221; &#8211;William S. Cohen, former secretary of defense &#8220;An insightful, timely book. Citing philosophers from Sun-Tzu to Machiavelli, the author shows the value of ancient insights into human nature in formulating international policy.&#8221; &#8211;Booklist&#8220;Warrior Politics should be read by every citizen deeply concerned about America&#8217;s role in the world.&#8221; &#8211;Newt Gingrich&#8220;The reason I have come to admire Bob Kaplan's little book . . . is its refusal to apologize for its analogies. This is so refreshing. . . . What Kaplan is saying&#8211;and what Hobbes and Machiavelli and some of the Founders said&#8211;was that such realism is in fact more moral than idealism. Idealism in state craft is based on an abdication of responsibility &#8212; to govern the world as it is.&#8221; &#8211;Andrew Sullivan&#8220;[Kaplan&#8217;s] comparison of the United States in 2001 with the complacent Roman Empire will be a wake-up call for many readers. His philosophical polemic is well worth reading in these anxious times.&#8221; &#8211;Library Journal&#8220;I read Warrior Politics with fascination. Kaplan makes a persuasive case that the insights of major philosophers are relevant to modern security problems. This book will be read by scholars, but it should also be read by those responsible today for making the decisions that affect our national security.&#8221; &#8211;William J. Perry, former secretary of defense
