Meg Giggs, the precocious daughter of Sir Thomas More, finds herself caught between her father's staunch Catholicism and the fiery Protestantism of her portraitist, the Bavarian Hans Holbein. Though set in 16th century Tudor England, the rhetoric of clashing religious sects and the constant threats of faith spilling into violence seems eerily familiar. Vanora Bennett, a former columnist for The Times, and known for her reportage on contemporary conflict zones, has written a debut novel that perfectly captures the emotional and political upheavals in a country undergoing religious change.

A Treasure Troll Tale

The household of Lord Cliffe, Grayson St. Cyres, is turned topsy-turvy in this historical romance when his two eccentric great aunts descend on him with their valet, Mad Jack. As it turns out, Jack is in fact Winifrede Levering Bascombe, a young runaway in disguise, hiding from her abusive stepfather. When Jack steals one of St. Cyres's horses, the chase is on; and when St. Cyres apprehends the scamp, he discovers the masquerade and the inevitable love affair develops. The less-than-ingenious plot appears to be going nowhere until Coulter throws in a special twist that saves the day. Despite this, the story is well-worn and cutesy, and the males are reduced to inept creatures dominated by the strong-willed women in their lives.

Popular marriage counselor and seminar leader John Gray provides a unique, practical and proven way for men and women to communicate and relate better by acknowledging the differences between them. Once upon a time Martians and Venusians met, fell in love, and had happy relationships together because they respected and accepted their differences. Then they came to earth and amnesia set in: they forgot they were from different planets. Using this metaphor to illustrate the commonly occurring conflicts between men and women, Gray explains how these differences can come between the sexes and prohibit mutually fulfilling loving relationships. Based on years of successful counseling of couples, he gives advice on how to counteract these differences in communication styles, emotional needs and modes of behavior to promote a greater understanding between individual partners. Gray shows how men and women react differently in conversation and how their relationships are affected by male intimacy cycles ("get close", "back off"), and female self-esteem fluctuations ("Im okay", "Im not okay"). He encourages readers to accept the other genders particular way of expressing love, and helps men and women learn how to fulfill each others emotional needs. With practical suggestions on how to reduce conflict, crucial information on how to interpret a partner's behavior and methods for preventing emotional "trash from the past" from invading new relationships, Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus is a valuable tool for couples who want to develop deeper and more satisfying relationships with their partners.

Relates the story of the popular ballet, in which a little girl travels with the Nutcracker Prince to the Land of Sweets.

Truth and justice collide in former prosecutor Hoffman's sequel to Retribution. Miami Assistant State Attorney C.J. Townsend finds herself living a nightmare, beginning with a call to go to the homicide scene of Victor Chavez, a cop who helped her convict serial killer William Bantling. Chavez's body has been mutilated, his tongue twisted into what a former DEA officer calls the "Colombian necktie." Early clues to this and subsequent, equally brutal, murders point to Florida's drug underworld, but Townsend's fiancé, Special Agent Dominick Falconetti, and his team track the case back to Bantling. Falconetti is arrested for assaulting the ever-taunting Bantling, but even with the lead detective off the investigation, troubling facts emerge, while Townsend, haunted by her role in Bantling's trial (she withheld evidence to put the man who raped her on death row), tries to distance herself. Instead, she must confront her torturer in court, putting her career, her relationship and eventually her life at risk. Reminders of fictional predecessors (Bantling in Hannibal Lecter restraints, Townsend's Dirty Harriet heroics) and occasional uninspired romantic passages are Hoffman's weakness; procedural detail and methodical depiction of the horrific are her strength. She combines the gruesome precision of Patricia Cornwell, the courtroom savvy of Linda Fairstein and the Miami setting of Edna Buchanan to produce an unsettling tale that, unlike most detective fiction, is not neatly tied up at the end.

Best-selling author and dermatologist Nicholas Perricone, M.D., has helped many with his unique anti-aging campaign that combines health and beauty, seeing the skin as an indicator of health. Perricone builds on his earlier work on the connection between inflammation and aging, this time highlighting the effects of neuropeptides in the brain-beauty connection. Neuropeptides are substances at the cellular level in the brain and skin which, like cholesterol, can be both beneficial (anti-inflammatory) or harmful (inflammatory). He explains the science behind neuropeptides, and presents a 28-day plan based on three basic steps: a diet plan strong on "superfoods," including fruits, vegetables, and spices; supplements, which can help increase energy and improve metabolism; and "topicals," or creams, derived from neuropeptides, which can be applied to the skin. Dr. Perricone's astute combination of theory and practice offers readers quick changes not just to the skin but to the whole immune system, promising greater rejuvenation and longevity.

A sequel to their provocative Die Broke (HarperBusiness, 1998), the coauthors challenge old notions about loyalty to the firm and "self-actualizing" employment vs. working for money. They suggest that even if you have a boss, you should strive to be working for yourself.
