The Inevitable City indexTA indexAT
The Resurgence of New Orleans and the Future of Urban America Scott Cowen Foreword by Walter Isaacson The incredible story of how New Orleans came back after Hurricane Katrina stronger than before, and how its success can be replicated.
9781137278869 June £17.99 Hardback 234x153mm 256pp World; all standard subrights, including audio, and translation
Scott Cowen, the president of Tulane University, watched the devastation of his beloved New Orleans at the hands of Hurricane Katrina. With federal, state, and municipal aid stalled, Cowen, known for his gutsy leadership, was quickly thrust into a position of responsibility within the city. Cowen and his team led the charge to restore equilibrium and eventually to rebuild. The Inevitable City is the story of the resurgence and reinvention of one of America’s greatest cities without government help. Ordinary citizens, empowered to actively rescue their home after politicians and city officials failed them, have succeeded in rebuilding their world. Cowen was at the leading edge of those who articulated, shaped, and implemented a vision of transformative change that has yielded surprising social progress and economic growth. The Inevitable City surfaces 12 principles that changed the game for this city, and if adopted can alter the curve for any business, endeavor, community – and perhaps even a nation. SCOTT COWEN is a business leader, civic advocate, and president of Tulane University. His work has been widely covered by the media, including The New York Times and The Chronicle of Higher Education.

In Bed with Wall Street indexTA indexAT
The Conspiracy Crippling Our Global Economy Larry Doyle A shocking look at the incestuous relationship between Wall Street and the regulators – and legislators – who are supposed to protect us.
9781137278722 January £17.99 Hardback 234x153mm 240pp World; all standard subrights, including translation, first serial, and audio
The Wall Street meltdown in 2008 brought America to its knees and spawned nationwide protests against the lack of regulation. But nothing has changed. In Bed with Wall Street exposes how Wall Street, politicians, and the regulators themselves have conspired for personal and industry-wide gains while failing to protect investors and consumers. Doyle details the corruption and the “revolving door” of Wall Street, wherein the regulators are all former or future employees of the very firms they’re tasked with overseeing, and how they routinely serve the interests of the industry itself rather than protecting investors and markets. As the big banks fight tooth and nail to avoid real reforms that would protect the economy, this book is a timely, important, and shocking look inside the Washington-Wall Street conspiracy crippling the global economy. LARRY DOYLE is a former mortgage-backed securities trader who has worked for the Bank of America and JP Morgan Chase, among others. His work has been featured in Bloomberg Businessweek, Financial Times, Forbes, The Wall Street Journal, and Yahoo! Finance. He currently runs his own investment practice and lives in Connecticut, USA.

Beauty Queen indexTA indexAT
Inside the Reign of Avon’s Andrea Jung Deborrah Himsel An inside look at the rise and fall of former Avon CEO Andrea Jung, and what it can teach us about twentyfirst century leadership.
Andrea Jung was arguably the world’s most charismatic and effective CEO, credited with the astonishing turnaround of the venerable brand, Avon. She seemed incapable of making a wrong move, until, amid declining sales, an investigation by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), and a brand in crisis, she stepped down in late 2012. 9781137278821 May £17.99 Hardback 234x153mm 240pp World English; all standard subrights, including first serial, excluding audio and translation
In Beauty Queen, former Avon VP Deborrah Himsel uses Jung’s story as a case study for two timeless leadership questions: What makes great leaders great? And what makes them fail? She explores both Jung’s early years of success as well as the combination of missteps that led to her downfall, including her failure to nurture Avon’s direct selling channel, the erosion of trust that occurred as a result of frequent decision reversals, and her ignorance of operational details, including how her people secured a license to conduct door-to-door sales in China, which led to a federal investigation. Through interviews with other CEOs, Avon executives past and present, and leadership experts, Himsel explores the unique challenges Jung faced as a female Fortune 500 CEO, the thin line between pride and hubris, and the danger of the so-called “halo effect” in our high stakes times. DEBORRAH HIMSEL is a leadership consultant for many Fortune 500 companies, including Johnson & Johnson, KPMG, Exxon/Mobile, Citigroup, and Walmart. She teaches at Thunderbird School of Global Management and The Helsinki School of Economics at Aalto University.

The Triumphant Rise and Tragic Fall of Tyco’s Dennis Kozlowski Catherine S. Neal An inside look at the most well-known white-collar criminal in the history of US business.
9781137278913 January £18.99 Hardback 234x153mm 288pp, includes 8-page photo spread World English; all standard subrights, including first serial, excluding audio and translation
Tyco’s infamous CEO Dennis Kozlowski was an icon of an era of excess and greed. He was tried and convicted in 2005 of crimes related to his receipt of $81 million in purportedly unauthorized bonuses, the purchase of art for $14.7 million, and the payment by Tyco of a $20 million investment banking fee to Frank Walsh, a former Tyco director. In 2002, Tyco revealed that it had spent $8 billion on more than 700 acquisitions in three years, without full reporting. On the heels of Kozlowski’s imminent release from prison, this book is as much the story of Kozlowski’s meteoric rise in business as Tyco’s CEO and his public fall and humiliation, as it is about Tyco’s continued success. The early 2000s were rocked by three high profile multibillion dollar corporate scandals: WorldCom, Enron and Tyco, of which only Tyco is still in business and thriving, more profitable than ever. Catherine Neal has been granted full access to Dennis Kozlowski, his papers, his attorneys, family, friends, and former colleagues at Tyco. Many significant facts about Kozlowski’s personal life, career, and the highly publicized Tyco corporate scandal are revealed here for the very first time. CATHERINE S. NEAL is the Business Ethics and Business Law Professor at Northern Kentucky University, a Corporate Law Fellow in the Center for Corporate Law at the University of Cincinnati, and a practicing attorney.

We’re all familiar with “choice overload”, and while it’s human to want all the options, the surprising truth is that the more choice we have, the less satisfied we are. And nowhere is this more true – or more dangerous – than in our investments. Despite the troubled global economy, there are tens of thousands of mutual funds, hedge funds, exchange-traded funds, and other vehicles waiting to take your money. For help, individual and institutional investors alike turn to financial managers, though they are often no better equipped than the average person to assess and manage risk. In The Investor’s Paradox, hedge fund expert Brian Portnoy explains how to sift through today’s diverse investment choices and solve even the most daunting portfolio problems. Drawing on cutting-edge research in behavioral economics, social psychology and choice theory, Portnoy lays bare the biases that interfere with good decision-making, and gives readers a set of basic tools they can use to tell the good from the bad. Along the way, he demystifies hedge funds, cuts through the labyrinth of the modern financial supermarket, and debunks popular myths, including the idea that mutual funds can “beat the market”. BRIAN PORTNOY is Managing Director and Head of Alternatives and Strategic Initiatives at Chicago Equity Partners. He has appeared frequently on CNBC and CNN. He lives in Chicago, USA.

Inferno Revealed indexTA indexAT
From Dante to Dan Brown Deborah & Mark Parker An exploration of Dante’s world that provides context for understanding Dan Brown’s new bestseller Inferno. Using Dan Brown’s book as a jumping off point, Inferno Revealed provides readers of Brown’s Inferno with an engaging introduction to Dante and his world.
9781137279064 November 2013 £12.99 Hardback 234x153mm 256pp, 10 illustrations throughout World English; standard subrights except translation
Inferno Revealed written by world-renowned Dante scholars – a husband and wife team – explores how Dante made himself the protagonist of The Divine Comedy, something no other epic poet has done, a move for which the ramifications have not yet been fully explored. The authors analyze how Dan Brown has repurposed Inferno in his newest book – noting what he gets right and what errors he has made. Of course, Dan Brown is not the first author to base his work on Dante. The Divine Comedy has elicited many adaptations from major canonical writers such as Milton and Keats to popular adaptations like David Fincher’s Se7en and Tim Burton’s Beetlejuice – all of which are discussed in detail in Inferno Revealed. DEBORAH PARKER is Professor of Italian and Chair of the Department of Spanish, Italian, and Portuguese at the University of Virginia. She is the General Editor of The World of Dante (www.worldofdante.org), an interactive media site created for the study and teaching of Dante’s Comedy.

Defending the City of God indexTA indexAT
A Medieval Queen, the First Crusades, and the Quest for Peace in Jerusalem Sharan Newman A fresh history of the Holy Lands during the Middle Ages from the point of view of a group of sisters fighting to save Jerusalem.
9781137278654 April ÂŁ17.99 Hardback 234x153mm 272pp World English; all standard subrights, including first serial, excluding audio and translation
Jerusalem sits at the crossroads of three continents and has been continuously invaded for millennia. Yet, in the middle of one of the region’s most violent eras, the Crusades, an amazing multicultural world was forming. Templar Knights, Muslim peasants, Turkish caliphs, Jewish merchants, and the native Christians, along with the children of the first crusaders, blended cultures while struggling to survive in a land constantly at war. Defending the City of God explores this fascinating and forgotten world, and how a group of sisters, daughters of the King of Jerusalem, whose supporters included Grand Masters of the Templars and Armenian clerics, held together the fragile treaties, understandings, and marriages that allowed for relative peace among the many different factions. As the crusaders fought to maintain their conquests, these relationships quickly unraveled, and religious and cultural diversity was lost as hardline factions took over. Weaving together the political intrigues and dynastic battles that transformed the Near East with an evocative portrait of medieval Jerusalem, this is an astonishing look at a forgotten side of the first Crusades. SHARAN NEWMAN is a medieval historian and awardwinning author of fiction and non-fiction. She lives in Oregon, USA.

Imagine There’s No Heaven indexTA indexAT
How Atheism Helped Create the Modern World Mitchell Stephens A provocative and sweeping narrative history arguing that atheism has been responsible for some of civilization’s greatest achievements.
9781137002600 March £17.99 Hardback 235x156mm 288pp World; all standard subrights, including audio, first serial and translation
Traveling from classical Greece to twenty-first century America, Imagine There’s No Heaven explores the role of disbelief in shaping Western civilization. At each juncture common themes emerge: by questioning the role of gods in the heavens or the role of a God in creating man on earth, nonbelievers help move science forward. By challenging the divine right of monarchs and the strictures of holy books, nonbelievers, including Jean-Jacques Rousseau and Denis Diderot, help expand human liberties. Revolutions in science, politics, philosophy, art, and psychology have been led, on multiple occasions, by those who are free of the constraints of religious life. Mitchell Stephens tells the often courageous tales of history’s most important atheists. Stephens makes a strong and original case for their importance to the way many of us – believers and nonbelievers – now think and live. MITCHELL STEPHENS is a historian and journalist who has been researching the history of atheism for a decade. A professor of media studies at New York University, he has written for The New York Times Magazine, The Washington Post, Newsday, and The Los Angeles Times. He lives in New York City, USA.

The Rise of the Collaborative Commons and the End of Capitalism Jeremy Rifkin The New York Times bestselling author Jeremy Rifkin explores how today’s extreme constant collaboration paired with no cost manufacturing technologies are propelling us towards the end of capitalism.
9781137278463 April £16.99 Hardback 234x153mm 304pp World English; all standard subrights, excluding translation
The Zero Marginal Cost Society explores the deep economic, philosophical, psychological, and political changes in human behavior brought on by a world where billions of human beings are engaged in relentless communication and collaboration in real time – and where goods and services can be replicated by individuals, not companies, at virtually no cost. Today, there is a plethora of new collaborative ventures across virtually every field of human endeavor. Resource sharing, collaborative governance, and 3D printing are just a few of the many areas where human beings are discovering new and better ways to live in an interconnected world. Rifkin examines how this shift is making the core values and institutions upon which we’ve based our lives for so long – including private property, representative democracy, and national boundaries - obsolete, and turns our attention to the new values and institutions that will propel the next great economic era. JEREMY RIFKIN is President of the Foundation on Economic Trends and the author of eighteen bestselling books. He is a senior lecturer at the Wharton School’s Executive Education Program at the University of Pennsylvania. He is Chairman of the Global CEO Business Roundtable and has served as an adviser to global leaders, including Nicolas Sarkozy and Angela Merkel.

Back Stories and Peculiar Economics from the World of Contemporary Art Don Thompson A fascinating inside look at the economics and psychology of the contemporary art market from the 2008 market crash to today’s astronomical prices.
9781137279088 May £16.99 Hardback 234x153mm 256pp, 8-page photo spread World English, standard subrights except first serial, audio, and translation
Acquiring contemporary art is about passion and lust, but it is also about branding, the back story that comes with the art, the relationship between money and status, and sometimes, about celebrity. Following on from Thompson’s 2008 book The $12 Million Stuffed Shark, The Supermodel and the Brillo Box describes what happened to the contemporary art market after the economic implosion following the collapse of Lehman Brothers and offers insights and art world tales from dealers, auction houses, and galleries, from New York and London to Abu Dhabi and Beijing. It begins with the story of a wax, trophy-style, nude upper-body sculpture of former supermodel Stephanie Seymour which sold for $2.4 million, and recounts the back story to a wooden Brillo Box that sold for $722,500. The Supermodel and the Brillo Box looks at the increasing dominance of Christie’s, Sotheby’s, and a few über dealers, the growing importance of the digital art world, and the shrinking role of the mainstream gallery. Thompson opens the door to the world behind the artwork where valuation is king and status is everything. DON THOMPSON is an economist and Emeritus Nabisco Brands Professor of Marketing and Strategy at the Schulich School of Business at York University in Toronto. He is the author of eleven books, including The $12 Million Stuffed Shark. He writes on the economics of the art market for publications as diverse as The Times, Harper’s, and The Art Economist.

Being Muslim in America Ranya Tabari Idliby An examination of Muslim identity told through one woman’s exploration and struggle with what her heritage and religion mean in modern America. This is the story of one American Muslim woman and her family – the story of how, through their lives, their schools, their friends, and their neighbors, they end up living the challenges, myths, fears, hopes, and dreams of all Americans. They are challenged by both Muslims who speak for them and by Americans who reject them. 9780230341845 February £16.99 Hardback 234x153mm 256pp, 8-page photo spread World; all standard subrights, including audio, first serial, and translation
In this moving memoir, Idliby discusses not only coming to terms with what it means to be Muslim today, but how to raise and teach her children about their heritage and religious legacy. She explores life as a Muslim in a world where hostility towards Muslims runs rampant, where there is an entire industry financed and supported by think tanks, authors, film makers, and individual vigilantes whose sole purpose is to vilify and spread fear about all things Muslim. Her story is quintessentially American, a story of the struggles of assimilation and acceptance in a climate of confusion and prejudice – a story for anyone who has experienced being an “outsider” inside your own home country. RANYA TABARI IDLIBY is a writer who lives in New York City. She co-authored The Faith Club: A Muslim, A Christian, A Jew: Three Women Search for Understanding, an intimate dialog on faith and identity in America. She has spoken at many interfaith organizations, The United Nations, and the US State Department.

When confronted with the challenges of border security, US government officials claim that the borders have never been more secure. But ranchers in the borderlands of Arizona and Texas fear for their lands, their cattle, their homes, and sometimes their lives due to the human and drug smuggling traffic that regularly crosses their property. Who is right? What does a secure border actually look like? Border Insecurity examines all the aspects of the challenge – and thriving industry – of trying to keep terrorists, drug smugglers, and illegal immigrants from entering the United States. It looks at on the ground issues and controversies like the border fence, the usefulness of technology, shifts in the connection between illegal immigration and drug smuggling, and the potential for terrorists and drug cartels to work together. Border Insecurity also delves into how the border debate itself is part of why the US government has failed to improve information sharing and why this is necessary to establish a clear and comprehensive border security strategy. SYLVIA LONGMIRE was a Special Agent in the Air Force and a senior intelligence analyst for the state of California. She is an independent consultant, and testifies as an expert witness on US asylum cases. She lives in Arizona, USA.

The Unexpected Social Consequences of Natural Disasters John C. Mutter A leading geoscientist argues that the longest lasting damage from today’s natural disasters is greater social inequality.
9781137278982 June £17.99 Hardback 234x153mm 288pp World English; no audio and no translation
No one is immune to natural disasters. Urban, rural, rich, poor, we all suffer the effects of nature’s tantrums. However, in the aftermath we discover that while some of us suffer terrible losses, others can cope easily, and some people actually gain. A major earthquake might exact a huge death toll in one nation, while in another an earthquake of the same magnitude might leave few casualties. One nation’s economy may teeter and fall, while another’s strengthens. How can this be explained? Columbia professor John C. Mutter’s Hiding Behind Hurricanes explores how the common perception of nature as a capricious villain, random in who it selects as its victims, is wrong, and argues instead that it is human nature that is the critical element that determines what disaster results in tragedy. This is an authoritative examination of the most extreme disasters to have rocked our planet in the last decade, and an optimistic exploration of how we can prevent the injustice of future disaster outcomes. JOHN C. MUTTER is a Professor at Columbia University with appointments in the department of Earth and Environmental Sciences and in International and Public Affairs. He was previously deputy director of the Earth Institute.

Today, two cultural forces are converging to make America’s youth easy targets for sex traffickers: children are engaging in – and encouraged to engage in – adult sexual attitudes and practices younger and earlier, while thanks to the internet and mobile technology, predators are able to ferret out their victims more easily than ever before. In Walking Prey, former victim Holly Austin Smith shows how middle class suburban communities are fast becoming the new epicenter of sex trafficking in America. Her experience led her two decades later to become one of the foremost advocates for trafficking victims. Smith argues that these young women and men should be treated as victims by law enforcement, but that too often the criminal justice system helps to trap them in a vicious cycle of prostitution. This is a clarion call to take a sharp look at one of the most striking human rights abuses that is going on in our own backyard. HOLLY AUSTIN SMITH is an advocate for human trafficking victims. After becoming a victim of child sex trafficking at the age of 14, she nearly committed suicide while the man who abducted her served only one year in prison. Her story has been featured widely in the US press. She lives in Virginia, USA.

The Face of Emotion indexTA indexAT
How Botox Affects Our Moods and Relationships Eric Finzi A fascinating and bold examination of the power of facial expressions to determine our mood – especially depression – from a renowned dermatological surgeon.
9781137279132 June £10.99 Paperback 234x153mm 240pp Previous ISBN: 9780230341852 World; all Standard subrights
Common wisdom has it that faces reveal our deepseated emotions. But what if facial expressions set our moods instead of revealing them? Based on original research, surgeon Dr. Finzi shows how changing a person’s face not only affects their relationships with others but also with themselves. This is a bold call to rethink the causes of unhappiness. “The Face of Emotion is well worth reading. The scientific debate about the regulation of the emotions is as lively as ever, and this is a provocative and insightful contribution.” – New Scientist “Even those who know all about [botox] will be intrigued.” – The New York Times ERIC FINZI, MD, is the medical director and president of two dermatology practices in the Washington, DC area. Dr. Finzi has been featured on Good Morning America, The Today Show, and A&E, and has contributed to articles in The Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, and US News & World Report, among others.
