Study in Sherlock: Stories Inspired by the Holmes Canon
"What would happen if you asked eighteen top writers who don't normally write about Sherlock Holmes, to write about Sherlock Holmes? What if you wrote to them, saying: "In 19th century England, a new kind of hero--a consulting detective--blossomed in the mind of an underemployed doctor and ignited the world's imagination. In the thirteen decades since "A Study in Scarlet "first appeared, countless variations on that theme have been played, from Mary Russell to Greg House, from 'Basil of Baker Street' to the new BBC Holmes-in-the-Internet-age.""We suspect that you have in the back of your mind a story that plays a variation on the Holmes theme...."" "And what if these great writers read that proposal and decided that yes, they did have that kind of tale in the back of their minds? The result is "A Study in Sherlock, Stories Inspired by the Sherlock Holmes Canon," with stories by Alan Bradley, Tony Broadbent, Jan Burke, Lionel Chetwynd, Lee Child, Colin Cotterill, Neil Gaiman, Laura Lippman, Gayle Lynds and John Sheldon, Phillip and Jerry Margolin, Margaret Maron, Thomas Perry, S.

What Money Can't Buy: The Moral Limits of Markets
"We know money can't buy us love, but in a market-driven age it seems capable of buying just about everything else. Professor of Government at Harvard University and author of the international best seller "Justice", Sandel is clearly alarmed at how much market thinking has permeated areas where such valuation seems wholly unwarranted, from medicine, education, and sports to the arts and personal relationships. Should we really pay kids to get good grades, or establish for-profit prisons, or sell citizenship to those who can afford it? The shift from having a market economy to being a market society, as Sandel would have it, seems to have coarsened our sensibilities and raises real ethical issues. Perhaps the publisher's top nonfiction title for the year; great book-club discussion." (Library Journal)
When Women Were Birds: Fifty-Four Variations on Voice
By Terry Tempest Williams Find This Book"Williams, the sensitive author of Refuge, is shocked to discover her deceased motheras unwritten memoirsa shelves worth of blank pages. Under such unpromising circumstances commences a kaleidoscopic celebration and palimpsesta all metaphorical cliches but apta on finding a voice and womanas identity beyond the silenced, selfless existence informed by children and a husbanda even a family brimming with love. The empty pages of a journal manifest a hermeneutics of suspicion: the white upon which to project a lifelong journey of self-discovery. In 54 meditations (one for each year of her motheras life, and of Williamsas life to date), we learn about an unusual (patriarchal) Mormon background and an upbringing that included a season of homeschooling in Hawaii, encounters with a husband-and-wife team of John Birchers while teaching high school biology, a job at the Museum of Natural History in New York City, and the meeting of her future mate over a discussion of books and birds. Among deep influences are Nobel Peace Prizea winner and environmentalist Wangari Maathai; Helene Cixous; Clarice Lispector; the secret-womenas language of China, Nushu; and the soaring operas of Richard Strauss. aIf a man knew what a woman never forgets, he would love her differently, a Williams declares in her bighearted, deliberative hymn: old themes newly warbled" (Publishers Weekly)
