When the struggle to save oil-soaked birds and restoreblackened beaches left him feeling frustrated and helpless, JohnFrancis decided to take a more fundamental and personal stand—hestopped using all forms of motorized transportation. Soon afterembarking on this quest that would span two decades and twocontinents, he took a vow of silence that endured for 17 years.

It's amantra of the age of globalization that where we live doesn'tmatter. We can innovate just as easily from a ski chalet in theAlps or a cottage in Provence as in the office of a Silicon Valleystart-up.According to Richard Florida, this is wrong.

Andeverything we think we know about cities and their economic rolesis up for grabs."Who's Your City?" is the first book to report onthe growing body of research on what qualities of cities and townsactually make people happy in their lives. Choosing a place to liveis as important as choosing a spouse or career, but until n

The controversy over James Frey's A Million Little Pieces hascaused serious concern at Doubleday and Anchor Books. Recentinterpretations of our previous statement notwithstanding, it isnot the policy or stance of this company that it doesn’t matterwhether a book sold as nonfiction is true. A nonfiction book shouldadhere to the facts as the author knows them. It is, however, Doubleday and Anchor's policy to stand with ourauthors when accusations are initially leveled against their work,and we continue to believe this is right and proper. A publisher'srelationship with an author is based to an extent on trust. Mr.Frey's repeated representations of the book's accuracy, throughoutpublication and promotion, assured us that everything in it wastrue to his recollections. When the Smoking Gun report appeared,our first response, given that we were still learning the facts ofthe matter, was to support our author. Since then, we havequestioned him about the allegations and have sadly come to therealizatio
