"A searing, meticulously researched chronicle of the political, fiscal, and moral collapse that led to New York City's infamous 1975 fiscal crisis…
Told with biting wit and a historian's rigor, Farley peels back the layers of myth and ideology to expose a systemic rot...
A tragicomedy of institutional decay in which 'a-bad-debt-is-better-than-a-good-tax' became city policy, and a mafia-linked union boss lectured at Harvard."

“My worst day of golf with friends is still one of the best days of my life,”
is a phrase Mike Berland lives by. The world of golf is rife with myths and misconceptions: golf is too expensive, golf is too hard, golf is an elitist sport, there’s no access to golf courses, etc. Mike Berland, is not a professional. He is not a golf instructor. He's not even a great player. What he is is passionate about how the culture of golf can change your life by building personal and business relationships and introducing you to a great worldwide community full of fun, exercise, nature, and play. Golf changed his life. NOT ABOUT GOLF inspires you to change yours.
MIDWAY IN THE JOURNEY OF OUR LIFE I CAME TO MYSELF IN A DARK WOOD.-DANTE ALIGHIERI Dante Alighieri had done all the right things, according to the story of his culture. He had written beautiful poems that won him fame and respect. He married and had children, and he was a man of the church, faithful to his god. Later, he took up political leadership in his city and tried to govern justly, even when it meant sending his troublemaking best friend into exile. And what had this gotten him? He lost everything: his wealth, his power, and his family. If he hadn’t fled into exile, Dante would have lost his life.
Martha Stewart meets Tim Burton… beautiful, morbid, bizarre, and raunchy… a wonderfully fantastical take on the classic dump-and-stir cooking show.

"Never grapples with anything less than life’s biggest questions. . . Lamb clearly aims to be a modern-day Dostoevsky with a pop sensibility."
— NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW
“No ordinary sixties coming-of-age story . . . evocative . . . brilliantly crafted . . . transports us from the prison camps of China, to the slums of Hong Kong, to the beckoning frontiers of President Kennedy’s United States. We suffer with Li . . . and witness him becoming a bright light of the antiwar movement while cautioning American radicals against the lure of Maoism.”
— LAURA KALMAN, Distinguished Research Professor, University of California, Santa Barbara, author of THE LONG REACH OF THE SIXTIES, Oxford University Press 
FACING THE MUSIC
DAVID LOUD
BROADWAY MUSICAL DIRECTOR & ARRANGER
“‘Music always has consequences,’ a wise teacher once told a young David Loud; so does a story well-told and a life fully-lived. I lost count of how many times I laughed, cried, and laugh-cried reading this wonderful, wry, intimate, and inspiring book. David wields a pen like he wields a baton, with perfect timing, exquisite phrasing, and enormous heart.”
—DAVID HYDE PIERCE, actor, Frasier, Spamalot, Curtains 
A riveting, inspirational true story of Annette Herfkens, an incredibly resilient woman, who broke professional barriers as a Dutch banker, was the sole survivor of Vietnam Airlines Flight 474, found love after the loss of her fiance, and continues to raise her autistic son, never wavering in her optimism.
