Leland's Annual

The Inventor and the Tycoon
A Chicago Tribune Noteworthy Book of the Year Nearly 140 years ago, in frontier California, photographer Eadweard Muybridge captured time with his camera and played it back on a flickering screen, inventing the breakthrough technology of moving pictures. Yet the visionary inventor Muybridge was also a murderer who killed coolly and meticulously, and his trial became a national sensation. Despite Muybridge’s crime, the artist’s patron, railroad tycoon Leland Stanford, founder of Stanford University, hired the photographer to answer the question of whether the four hooves of a running horse ever left the ground all at once—and together these two unlikely men launched the age of visual media. Written with style and passion by National Book Award-winner Edward Ball, this riveting true-crime tale of the partnership between the murderer who invented the movies and the robber baron who built the railroads puts on display the virtues and vices of the great American West.
The Art of the Detox: My Journey Healing From Lyme Disease
Jack Bristow is a writer who's life has been altered dramatically ever since having contracted Lyme disease twelve years ago. After several failed attempts at getting better--antibiotics, herbals, anti-malarials--Mr. Bristow concluded there had to be something else. Enter detox. This book contains many different herbs and methods Mr. Bristow uses daily to become more functional and "feel human" again. Characters and incidents in said book have been exaggerated for comedic effect. But the detox methods the author lays out are one hundred percent authentic. Wildly funny, informative and surprisingly poignant "The Art of the Detox" is the work of a tenacious man who refuses to let his disease define him in his quest to help himself and others.

China's Influence and American Interests
While Americans are generally aware of China's ambitions as a global economic and military superpower, few understand just how deeply and assertively that country has already sought to influence American society. As the authors of this volume write, it is time for a wake-up call. In documenting the extent of Beijing's expanding influence operations inside the United States, they aim to raise awareness of China's efforts to penetrate and sway a range of American institutions: state and local governments, academic institutions, think tanks, media, and businesses. And they highlight other aspects of the propagandistic “discourse war” waged by the Chinese government and Communist Party leade...
