From the best-selling author of "The Rise of the CreativeClass" comes a brilliant new book on the surprising importance ofplace, with advice on how to find the right place for you. It's amantra of the age of globalization that where we live doesn'tmatter.

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
