In the Name of Emmett Till
"A compelling history." — Foreword Reviews "Inspiring and well-researched." — Booklist The killing of Emmett Till is widely remembered today as one of the most famous examples of lynchings in America. African American children in 1955 personally felt the terror of his murder. These children, however, would rise up against the culture that made Till’s death possible. From the violent Woolworth’s lunch-counter sit-ins in Jackson to the school walkouts of McComb, the young people of Mississippi picketed, boycotted, organized, spoke out, and marched, working to reveal the vulnerability of black bodies and the ugly nature of the world they lived in. These children changed that world. In t...
Walter Scott and Fame
Walter Scott and Fame is a study of correspondences between Scott and socially and culturally diverse readers of his work in the English-speaking world in the early nineteenth century. Examining authorship, reading, and fame, the book is based on extensive archival research, especially in the collection of letters to Scott in the National Library of Scotland. Robert Mayer demonstrates that in Scott's literary correspondence constructions of authorship, reading strategies, and versions of fame are posited, even theorized. Scott's reader-correspondents invest him with power but they also attempt to tap into or appropriate some of his authority. Scott's version of authorship sets him apart from...

Why Did the Heavens Not Darken?
Was the extermination of the Jews part of the Nazi plan from the very start? Arno Mayer offers astartling and compelling answer to this question, which is much debated among historians today.In doing so, he provides one of the most thorough and convincing explanations of how the genocidecame about in Why Did the Heavens Not Darken?, which provoked widespread interest and controversywhen first published. Mayer demonstrates that, while the Nazis’ anti-Semitism was always virulent, it did not becomegenocidal until well into the Second World War, when the failure of their massive, all-or-nothingcampaign against Russia triggered the Final Solution. He details the steps leading up to thisenormity, showing how the institutional and ideological frameworks that made it possible evolved,and how both related to the debacle in the Eastern theater. In this way, the Judeocide is placedwithin the larger context of European history, showing how similar ‘holy causes’ in the past havetriggered analogous – if far less cataclysmic – infamies.
How to Win Any Argument
This guide to negotiating is “mental judo, where you use the other guy’s energy to win. It’s mind-set. It’s charisma” (New York Times). The art of the argument. It’s mysterious and powerful.

This new world demands three new “right for our times” chapters: “Heavy Metal Moves” and “Taboo Tactics”: When you’re being dissed, dismissed, and ...
The Book of Truths
A little truth is a dangerous thing. A lot could kill us all. The Nightstalkers are back, and the world needs them now more than ever. When a real-life truth serum, an unauthorized military cabal, and the nuclear football--which contains the authorization the President needs to launch the nation's missiles--all converge, the Nightstalkers suit up for another deadly job. Joining forces with the Cellar, the covert world's police force, the team might be mankind's last hope. With the President infected by an out-of-control pathogen, the Nightstalkers' primary mission becomes finding a hidden stash of nuclear missiles before a secret group can launch a pre-emptive strike against America's enemies. Because a rogue general has taken control of the operation center beneath the White House, and all hell's about to break loose. The Book of Truths builds and builds before roaring to a breathless showdown that could mean the beginning of the end for everyone.
