"Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg never asked for fame - she was just trying to make the world a little better and a little freer. But along the way, the feminist pioneer's searing dissents and steely strength have inspired millions. Notorious RBG: The Life and Times of Ruth Bader Ginsburg, created by the young lawyer who began the Internet sensation and an award-winning journalist, takes you behind the myth for an intimate, irreverent look at the jusitice's life and work. As America struggles with the unfinished business of gender equality and civil rights, Ginsburg stays fierce. And if you don't know, now you know." - from the rear outer cover. "The authors make this unassuming, most studious woman come pulsing to life. Notorious RBG may be a playful project, but it asks to be read seriously.That I responed so personally to it is a testimony to [its] storytelling and panache.I dare you not to cry." - Jennifer Senior, New York Times. "Equally stirring and highly entertaining.If you admired RBG before, Carmon and Knizhnik will make you fall in love with her, not only as a feminist hero but a human being." - Michelle Ruiz, Vogue. "This fun and assiduously research book shines new light on one of the most important civil rights figures of our time. Notorious RBG is a deeply original mash-up of pop culture and serious schcolarship." - Gilbert King, Pulitzer Prize-winning author.

With a single glance into Lucca's soulful, knowing eyes, you will fall in love. Heartwarming and heartrending until its joyous conclusion, Maria Goodavage brilliantly render the growing love and loyalty between Lucca and her handlers, a bond of such incredible strength it transcends war, distance, and time. Meet the amazing Lucca, and you will wish she was yours!" - Robert Crais, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Suspect. "Maria Goodavage's Top Dog is a true war story with a heart as heroic and bold as any account ever told, only here the tale centers on a four-legged warrior, specifically one named Lucca, a courageous and stalwart war dog of incomparable bravery. This is no dry accounting of Lucca's service but a gritty, boots-on-the-ground portrayal of what it means to share the battlefield with such a remarkable animal. Written with authority, warmth, and genuine honor, here is a story that not only needs to be told but should be read by all. It's a new classic, one that will inspire everyone." - James Rollins, New York Times bestselling author of The Kill Switch. "Top Dog is a gritty account of a new kind of warfare with a new kind of war hero - Lucca K458 - a decorated and highly skilled working dog able to work off leash at long distances from her handler, hunting for lethal threats. The military catalogs its dogs as it would Humvees or M16s - as numbered and labeled equipment. To the U.S. Marine Corps, the German Shepherd-Belgian Malinois mix with the expressive eyebrows is Lucca K458. But her job saving lives is a game she loves, and her prize is enthusiastic praise from her handler. She's a real best friend on the battlefield. When she begins her career, Lucca is partnered with Marine Staff Sergeant Chris Willingham and a bond like no other develops between them. Willingham and Lucca's harrowing adventures in Iraq take us into rooftop firefights and IED-infested streets and face-to-face with insurgents. Their tense, lifesaving discoveries of explosives prove how invaluable the combination of man and dog can be. Lucca's skills become so sought after that platoons frequently request her by name. After two deployments together, the day comes when Willingham's orders no longer include Lucca, and the team who saved countless lives must part ways. By then Willingham has become a well-respected kennel master, and he is able to handpick his successor - Marine Corporal Juan "Rod" Rodriguez. Together Lucca and Rod face new threats and challenges during their deployment to Afghanistan, where they serve alongside both Special Forces and regular infantry. Ultimately Top Dog reveals how the bond between military working dogs and their handlers saves lives and how their presence can help comrades overcome emotional trauma sustained on the battlefields. The moving relationship Lucca developed with her handlers, her outstanding skills, and her exceptional character are the stuff of legend.".

Includes List of Other Books by Peter Lefcourt; Author Dedication and About the Author. Also includes Simon & Schuster Advance Copy publisher card requesting "observance of the release date and two copies of your review." "The Woody shows just how hard it is to run for office. It has my vote." - James Carville. "Lefcourt raises the standard on great political novels." - Richard Ben Cramer. "Here's the depressing part: I write humor for a living, but Lefcourt's funnier short and he's funnier long than I am. And The Woody, it's even about Washington. Drop dead, Lefcourt." - Tony Kornheiser, columnist. "You think you've got problems? Senator Woody White is being sued by his ex-wife, blackmailed by his present wife, shaken down by a Vermont maple syrup kingpin, terrorized by his neo-Fascist housekeeper, and dragged into litigation by Trent Lott over a fender bender in the Senate parking garage. As if all this weren't enough, Woody has been stricken with an untimely case of E.D. (erectile dysfunction), discovered during a tryst in his Peru, Vermont, A-frame with a lobbyist from the condom industry. Up for reelection, Woody understands the political dictum that no man can be elected in this country if the voters suspect he is hormonally challenged. In this, the Viagra Age, Woody's search for a solution leads him to a great deal more trouble than he bargained for. With the aid of his chief of staff, Ishmael Leibowitz - a closet heterosexual who has gone into deep cover inside a ring of gay Senate aides - Woody battles not only to keep his E.Q. (Erectile Quotient) within the moderate-to-high range, but also to recapture the support of the people of Vermont, Ted Kennedy, Dick Gephardt, and the President of the United States. The Woody is a brilliant comic romp through the demented, spin-filled world of Washington sexual politics. It answers the question foremost on everybody's mind these days: Just how hard does a man have to be to remain in public office?" - from the inner front jacket flap.

"The shocking true stories behind Truman Coapote's never-published final novel, Answered Prayers - the dark secrets, tragic glamour, and Capote's ultimate betrayal of the group of female friends he called his "swans". "There are certain women," Truman Capote wrote, "who, though perhaps not born rich, are born to be rich." Barbara "Babe" Paley, Gloria Guinness, Marella Agnelli, Slim Hayward, Pamela Churchill, C.Z. Guest, Lee Radziwill (Jackie Kennedy's sister) - they were the toast of mid-century New York, each beautiful and distinguished in her own way. Capote befriended them, received their deepest confidences, and ingratiated himself into their lives. Then, in one fell swoop, he betrayed them in the most surprising and startling way possible. Bestselling biographer Laurence Leamer delves into the years following the acclaimed publication of Breakfast at Tiffany's in 1958 and In Cold Blood in 1966, when Capote struggled with a crippling case of writer's block. While enjoying all the fruits of his success, he was struck with an idea for what he was sure would be his most celebrated novel.one based on the remarkable, racy lives of his very, very rich friends. For years, Capote attempted to write Answered Prayers, what he believed would have been his magnum opus. But when he eventually published a few chapters in Esquire, the thinly fictionalized lives (and scandals) of his closest female confidantes were laid bare for all to see, and he was banished from their high-society world forever. Laurence Leamer re-creates the lives of these fascinating swans, their friendships with Capote and one another, and the doomed quest to write what could have been one of the greatest novels of the twentieth century." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.

Illustrated with two sections of black-and-white photographic plates plus black-and-white photographic front and rear endpapers. " "My father didn't die - he escaped." He was a movie star, the king of nightclubs, the definitive recording artist of his time. He stamped his sense of style on the postwar generation. His death at 82 was mourned the world over by people who heard his music as the soundtrack of their lives, and who saw him as one of their own. Frank Sinatra seemed to have it all: genius, wealth, the love of beautiful women, glamorous friends from Las Vegas to the White House. Why then would Tina Sinatra, his younger daughter, refer to his death as an "escape"? What happened to make his life so difficult? In this startling and remarkably outspoken memoir, Tina Sinatra reveals to us an acutely restless, lonely and conflicted man - especially in affairs of the heart. Through his marriages and front-page romances and the melancholy gaps between, Frank Sinatra searched for a contentment that eluded him. He was drawn to gifted, talented women, but when they failed to provide the support and attention he needed, he became angry and frustrated. Tina Sinatra's view of her father was unique. The youngest of three children, she was born during his first flush of stardom, six months before he left her mother, Nancy, to pursue actress Ava Gardner. By the time Tina entered school, her father had married Ava, the great passion of his life. Tina liked Ava, found her "easy to be with, and.genuinely interested in us." A dozen years later, Tina would form a close friendship with her father's third wife, Mia Farrow, only three years Tina's senior. Through these years Frank Sinatra continued to remain devoted to his three children - and to their mother as well, for this is also the portrait of an extraordinary bond and a very special kind of family. Then Barbara Marx appeared on the scene. A former Vegas showgirl, she quickly severed her ties to husband Zeppo Marx (known as the "unfunny Marx Brother"). She soon became Sinatra's constant companion and eventually his fourth wife. Tina initially welcomed Barbara, and hoped the relationship would provide her father with the attention he needed. But it wasn't long before Tina came to fear that Barbara was trying to erase Sinatra's children from his life. She was forced to watch helplessly as her father, running from his own discontent, pursued a grueling performance schedule well into his seventies. She saw him risk his health and his own proud professional standards. Worst of all, she saw her father become joyless, beaten down, and depressed. Tina became alienated for a time - an estrangement that ended when Sinatra fell gravely ill. Over the last eighteen months of his life she became closer to him than ever, as she came fully to understand the complex emotinal package of the brightest, most enduring star of our age. My Father's Daughter, with its unflinching account of Sinatra's flaws and foibles, will shock many of his fans. At the same time, it is a deeply affectionate portrait written with love and warmth, a celebration of a daughter's fond esteem for her father and respect for his great legacy. The world remembers Frank SInatra as one of the giants of show business. In this book from someone inside the legend, Tina Sinatra remembers him as something more; a father, and a man." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.
