A News Correspondent Goes Sailing
A News Correspondent Goes Sailing is a book about a sailing trip the author took after retiring from ABC Network News. In each chapter of the book, not only is the sailing adventure described, but the author also reminisces about some of the major news stories he covered as a broadcast journalist. The sailing trip began in October, 1997, and seven months later the sailboat, a Catalina 42 sloop, arrived in St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands. There were stops in Cabo San Lucas, Puerto Vallarta, Acapulco, Mexico, Guatemala, Costa Rica, Panama, Cartagena, Colombia, the Dominican Republic, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Gary Shepard recalls such news assignments as the student rebellion in Beijing, China; the Vietnam War; President Bushas drug war meeting with heads of state in Cartagena, Colombia; the nuclear accident at Three Mile Island, Pennslvania; the young California gray whales strapped in the ice off Barrow, Alaska; and the first Persian Gulf War from Baghdad, Iraq.
Sayre Family
Thomas Sayre came with his family from England to Lynn, Massachusetts in the early 1630's. Among descendants of Thomas were clergymen, surgeons, attorneys, ambassadors, and representatives of almost every profession. Francis B., cowboy, professor of law, and ambassador, was son-in-law of former President Woodrow Wilson. Zelda was the wife of American novelist, F. Scott Fitzgerald, and subject of one of his books.

Blood Libel
Drawing on sources in eight countries and ten languages, Magda Teter tells the history of the antisemitic blood libel myth, whose long shadow extends from premodern monastic chronicles to Facebook. The vocabulary and images that crystallized and spread with the invention of the printing press are still with us, as are their pernicious consequences.

The Cambridge Handbook of Human Affective Neuroscience
Neuroscientific research on emotion has developed dramatically over the past decade. The cognitive neuroscience of human emotion, which has emerged as the new and thriving area of 'affective neuroscience', is rapidly rendering existing overviews of the field obsolete. This handbook provides a comprehensive, up-to-date and authoritative survey of knowledge and topics investigated in this cutting-edge field. It covers a range of topics, from face and voice perception to pain and music, as well as social behaviors and decision making. The book considers and interrogates multiple research methods, among them brain imaging and physiology measurements, as well as methods used to evaluate behavior and genetics. Editors Jorge Armony and Patrik Vuilleumier have enlisted well-known and active researchers from more than twenty institutions across three continents, bringing geographic as well as methodological breadth to the collection. This timely volume will become a key reference work for researchers and students in the growing field of neuroscience.
