"With a tone that is soft but firm, Aaron offers a particularly embracing sort of guidance. His approach, open and honest with a nice dose of humor, makes the mysteries of God less frightening."&#8212;Publishers Weekly   "This is a very inspiring work on a subject that deserves more exploration. Rabbi Aaron has given us much to think about with his rich reservoir of fresh images. His advice is simple and sound."&#8212;Spirituality and Health   "Aaron's humor, engaging narrative style, and use of anecdotes makes the biblical material and philosophical concepts he delineates accessible.  The Secret Life of God  offers individuals of any religious background assistance in dealing with some of the paradoxes of the mystical life."&#8212;Dragonfly    "David Aaron is a wise, compassionate, brilliant teacher who uses irony, paradox, and gentle humor to reveal the deepest, ultimate teaching of Jewish mysticism. It is simple and simultaneously profound. . . . An essential read."&#8212;Rabbi David A. Cooper, author of  God Is a Verb    "The most brilliant and profound exploration of the Kabbalistic teachings and philosophy about our transcendent and immanent relationship with the Divine that I have read in twenty-six years of Kabbalah study."&#8212;Gabriel Cousens, M.D., director of the Tree of Life Rejuvenation Center, Patagonia, Arizona

"This  compilation of commissioned essays, anecdotes, and photos presents a  powerful overview of contemporary women's issues&mdash;from the unsettlingly  enormous backlogs of untested rape kits in Los Angeles, to genital  mutilation and child marriage in Kurdistan and Afghanistan&mdash;and the  ongoing fight for women's rights around the world. While  sociologically and academically relevant, this is a cohesive and  eminently readable document that is simultaneously an inspiration and a  call-to-action.&rdquo; &mdash;Publisher&rsquo;s Weekly"Diverse  voices of hopeless, hopeful, and boldly determined women from around  the world comprise a compelling, multicultural resource.&rdquo; &mdash;Booklist

The New York Times, August 23, 2012:"That&rsquo;s the way the nursery rhyme crumbles in these humorous retellings,  cast in the world of hard-boiled crime and private detectives."The Huffington Post, August 6, 2012:"The first children's book from the wildly creative Levinthal and I hope it won't be the last."Booklist, September 15, 2012:"Kids will certainly be familiar with all these stories, and Levinthal supplies just enough of a twist with each one to make them fresh again without necessarily reinventing any of them. What&rsquo;ll really stop kids in their tracks, though, is Nickle&rsquo;s acrylic artwork. His sophisticated touch is as equally suited to the dramatic, black-andwhite re-creations of the crimes as it is to the cheeky scenes of Binky gumshoeing about with various woodland creatures."School Library Journal, September 2012:"The tongue-in-cheek telling of tales will tickle the fancies of children familiar with the originals."

And Other Notorious Nursery Tale Mysteries

Who Pushed Humpty Dumpty?

Long before yoga became a popular form of exercise, it was considered a state of being. The physical postures that have been popularized in the West emerged much later than the original practices to still and quiet the mind. In&nbsp;Yoga Mind, Suzan Colon brings us back to the tools of yoga that are too often forgotten in modern yoga practice, and that are accessible to anyone with a mind, regardless of the body&#39;s limitations. She draws the reader in with an utterly relatable story; while we may not have experienced paralysis, most of us have been touched by the types of challenges in life that she shares about so honestly. The book&#39;s practical tools provide a way into yoga practice that can be woven into daily life, with or without a yoga mat. It serves as a beautiful reminder to lifelong yoga professionals and practitioners, or a lovely entry point for those just beginning.

"Diana Dillaway has meticulously set out the causes - economic and social - of the decline of Buffalo, N.Y., once the fastest growing and most promising city in the nation. Slowly eating away at Buffalo's vitality were economic forces beyond the community's control, and social and class conflicts that were clearly within the town's ability to remedy.... This compact volume is must reading for any North American student of urban history. It ought to be in every school and college library in Upstate New York. There ought to be forums and college level courses built around this study in Western New York."DOUGLAS L. TURNERWashington Bureau Chief, Buffalo News"This book provides a rare inside look at the machinations and power plays by elite banking and development interests whose focus on narrow self-interest contributed to the decline of a once-thriving major city. We are seldom able to hear these stories in the clear and graphic fashion they are presented here."G. WILLIAM DOMHOFFResearch Professor in SociologyUniversity of California, Santa Cruz

Wicked Books

&#8220;A strange modern thriller--Kafka meets Hitchcock--laden with questions about truth, identity, memory, and the importance of names, a story that casts an unsettling spell.&#8221; &#8212;Keith Donohue, author of The Stolen Child&#8220;Like a tale by Lewis Carroll or a film by David Lynch, Samedi the Deafness teeters on the edge of unreality, plunges right in, and comes back again full circle. From its labyrinth of fictions, through the doubling and deceptive mirrors lining its walls and corridors, spills the eerie glow of some strange, ineffable truth.&#8221; &#8212;Tom McCarthy, author of Remainder&#8220;Samedi the Deafness is an urgent book . . . trying intently to tell us something about our world and our way of living, and it challenges us to listen. No serious reader can refuse this challenge.&#8221; &#8212;Paul La Farge, author of Haussmann, or the Distinction

"It&#8217;s not often we find a book that&#8217;s so useful to both doctors and patients alike. The Living Heart in the 21st Century is just such a book. . . .

"Meticulously reported and passionately felt. . . . Haunting." &#8211;Tom Brokaw, The New York Times&#8220;Cohen&#8217;s contributions are large. . . . We at last know something human, something personal, about these GIs, and can remember and mourn them by name, with the sorrow and honor they deserve.&#8221; &#8211;The New York Times Book Review&#8220;A powerful account of a chapter of the war that was long suppressed.&#8221; &#8211;The New Yorker&#8220;Roger Cohen has brought us a jewel of a book &#8212; a chilling, deeply felt, and powerfully written account of an astonishing episode at the climax of World War II that speaks volumes about human nature, justice, and memory.&#8221; &#8211;Michael Beschloss&#8220;Roger Cohen, who has already written one profoundly moving book on the Bosnian war and provides some of the best American journalism about Europe, understands that huge tragedies are constituted by microhistories of suffering. In Soldiers and Slaves he follows the fate of Jewish American soldiers, captured in the Battle of the Bulge and thrown into the vortex of the crumbling Third Reich as brutalized slave laborers and death-march victims alongside the remnants of surviving Central European Jewery. This is a beautifully crafted narrative of cruelty, heroism, dismaying postwar indifference, and finally, at last, memory redeemed.&#8221;&#8211;Charles Maier, Saltonstall Professor of History, Harvard University&#8220;Before reading Soldiers and Slaves, I had never heard of concentration camp Berga, &#8216;an ephemeral little hell&#8217; within the larger hell of World War II. But I know it now and won&#8217;t ever forget it, thanks to Roger Cohen&#8217;s masterful account, wonderfully reported and written.&#8221;&#8211;Ward Just&#8220;This story of American POWs at Berga&#8211;their suffering, their pain, their hope, their memories&#8211;has surprisingly been forgotten or inadequately recalled by historians. Roger Cohen is to be thanked for revealing to the public its profound human drama with talent, sensitivity, and a commitment to truth.&#8221;&#8211;Elie Wiesel&#8220;In this extraordinary book Roger Cohen has brought to light a long-concealed story of Nazi savagery. It brought me to tears&#8211;and understanding.&#8221;&#8211;Anthony Lewis

American POWs Trapped by the Nazis' Final Gamble

Soldiers and Slaves

&#8220;An ambitious executive is unprepared for the difficulties, and the transformation, she&#8217;ll experience when she tries to conceive&#8212;and then keep her babies alive.&#8221; &#8212;Working Mother&#8220;Minton&#8217;s moving memoir recalls the time as fraught with guilt, anger, and ultimately hope that her tiny boys would survive.&#8221; &#8212;Redbook&#8220;The Early Birds is Jenny Minton&#8217;s intensely personal account of the premature birth of her twin boys, delivered at only thrity-one weeks at 3 1/2 pounds each. . . . Her story is filled with hope and inspiration.&#8221; &#8212;Harper's Bazaar&#8220;Minton is a deft writer. . . . She also skillfully assembles information on the causes of infertility and its treatments, statistics about infant health and mortality, and facts about how the American health care system compares to other countries&#8217;. Women coping with infertility will find guidance here, as will parents of preemies.&#8221; &#8212;The Washington Post&#8220;After nearly thirty years of in-vitro fertilization, we may be ready to accept what Minton already knows: that all births are miracles, and that all children are created by the same scientific principles, no matter whether they were conceived inside a human body or in a Petri dish.&#8221; &#8212;The Hartford Courant
