They didn't start out as environmental warriors. ClairPatterson was a geochemist focused on determining the age of theEarth. Herbert Needleman was a pediatrician treating inner-citychildren. But in the chemistry lab and the hospital ward, they meta common enemy: lead. It was literally everywhere-in gasoline andpaint, of course, but also in water pipes and food cans, toothpastetubes and toys, ceramics and cosmetics, jewelry and batteries.Though few people worried about it at the time, lead was alsotoxic. In Toxic Truth, journalist Lydia Denworth tells the little-knownstories of these two men who were among the first to question thewisdom of filling the world with such a harmful metal. Denworthfollows them from the ice and snow of Antarctica to the schoolyardsof Philadelphia and Boston as they uncovered the enormity of theproblem and demonstrated the irreparable harm lead was doing tochildren.

In the 1950s, a series of dams was proposed along the BrazosRiver in north-central Texas. For John Graves, this project meantthat if the stream’s regimen was thus changed, the beautiful andsometimes brutal surrounding countryside would also change, aswould the lives of the people whose rugged ancestors had eked outan existence there. Graves therefore decided to visit that stretchof the river, which he had known intimately as a youth. Goodbye to a River is his account of that farewell canoevoyage. As he braves rapids and fatigue and the fickle autumnweather, he muses upon old blood feuds of the region and violentskirmishes with native tribes, and retells wild stories of courageand cowardice and deceit that shaped both the river’s people andthe land during frontier times and later. Nearly half a centuryafter its initial publication, Goodbye to a River is a trueAmerican classic, a vivid narrative about an exciting journey and apowerful tribute to a vanishing way of life and its ever-changingnatural env

Following up on The Power of Nice, agent-attorney Shapiro andfellow negotiator Jankowski reiterate that book's tenets:Neutralize your emotions and stay rational; Identify the type ofdifficult person; Control the encounter; and Explore options. Usingexamples from their own lives as well as pop culture, they offeranecdotes and tips for analysis. The "situationally difficult"person may be temporarily overreacting, so empathy can be a sureroad to cordial defusion. The "strategically difficult" arecalculating (passive-aggressive, take it or leave it, etc.), butcan be countered if you pleasantly, even humorously make them awareyou're onto their game. The "simply difficult," using power as animperative (irrational, bullying, duplicitous, etc.) are thetoughest, but those facing them must recognize their ownpower—including the option to just walk away, a decision that mustbe approached carefully. While the title may be the best thingabout the book, its tips on steering toward win-win situations aremore than p

Ever since its publication in 1941, The Mind of the South hasbeen recognized as a path-breaking work of scholarship and as aliterary achievement of enormous eloquence and insight in its ownright. From its investigation of the Southern class system to itspioneering assessments of the region's legacies of racism,religiosity, and romanticism, W. J. Cash's book defined the way inwhich millions of readers -- on both sides of the Mason-Dixon line-- would see the South for decades to come. This new,fiftieth-anniversary edition of The Mind of the South includes anincisive analysis of Cash himself and of his crucial place in thehistory of modern Southern letters.

Ludwig van Beethoven lay dying in 1827, a young musician namedFerdinand Hiller came to pay his respects to the great composer. Inthose days, it was customary to snip a lock of hair as a keepsake,and this Hiller did a day after Beethoven's death. By the time hewas buried, Beethoven's head had been nearly shorn by the manypeople who similarly had wanted a lasting memento of the great man.Such was his powerful effect on all those who had heard hismusic. For a century, the lock of hair was a treasured Hiller familyrelic, and perhaps was destined to end up sequestered in a bankvault, until it somehow found its way to the town of Gilleleje, inNazi-occupied Denmark, during the darkest days of the Second WorldWar. There, it was given to a local doctor, Kay Fremming, who wasdeeply involved in the effort to help save hundreds of hunted andfrightened Jews. Who gave him the hair, and why? And what was thefate of those refugees, holed up in the attic of Gilleleje'schurch? After Fremming's death, his d
