BROOKLYN\: Andi Alpers is on the edge. She’s angry at her father for leaving\, angry at her mother for not being able to cope\, and heartbroken by the loss of her younger brother\, Truman. Rage and grief are destroying her. And she’s about to be expelled from Brooklyn Heights’ most prestigious private school when her father intervenes. Now Andi must accompany him to Paris for winter break.
PARIS\: Alexandrine Paradis lived over two centuries ago. She dreamed of making her mark on the Paris stage\, but a fateful encounter with a doomed prince of France cast her in a tragic role she didn’t want—and couldn’t escape.
Two girls\, two centuries apart. One never knowing the other. But when Andi finds Alexandrine’s diary\, she recognizes something in her words and is moved to the point of obsession. There’s comfort and distraction for Andi in the journal’s antique pages—until\, on a midnight journey through the catacombs of Paris\, Alexandrine’s words transcend paper and time\, and the past becomes suddenly\, terrifyingly present.

Young Fitz is the bastard son of the noble Prince Chivalry\, raised in the shadow of the royal court by his father's gruff stableman. He is treated like an outcast by all the royalty except the devious King Shrewd\, who has him secretly tutored in the arts of the assassin. For in Fitz's blood runs the magic Skill--and the darker knowledge of a child raised with the stable hounds and rejected by his family. As barbarous raiders ravage the coasts\, Fitz is growing to manhood. Soon he will face his first dangerous\, soul-shattering mission. And though some regard him as a threat to the throne\, he may just be the key to the survival of the kingdom.

Based on several months of research and an extended visit to the West Bank and Gaza Strip in the early 1990s (where he conducted over 100 interviews with Palestinians and Jews)\, Palestine was the first major comics work of political and historical nonfiction by Sacco\, whose name has since become synonymous with this graphic form of New Journalism. Like Safe Area Gorazde\, Palestine has been favorably compared to Art Spiegelman's Pulitzer Prize-winning Maus for its ability to brilliantly navigate such socially and politically sensitive subject matter within the confines of the comic book medium. Sacco has often been called the first comic book journalist\, and he is certainly the best.

Eric Oliver’s book\, Fat Politics.
In Fat Politics\, J. Eric Oliver shows how a handful of doctors\, government bureaucrats\, and health researchers\, with financial backing from the drug and weight-loss industries\, have campaigned to create standards that mislead the public.
In reviewing the scientific evidence\, Oliver shows there is little proof that obesity causes so much disease and death or that losing weight is what makes people healthier. Our concern with obesity\, he writes\, is fueled more by social prejudice\, bureaucratic politics\, and industry profit than by scientific fact. Misinformation pushes millions of Americans towards dangerous surgeries\, crash diets\, and harmful diet drugs\, while we ignore other\, more real health problems. Oliver goes on to examine why it is that Americans despise fatness and explores why\, despite this revulsion\, we continue to gain weight. Fat Politics will topple your most basic assumptions about obesity and health. It is essential reading for anyone with a stake in the nation's--or their own--good health.
