The Marrano Prince (Ruach Ami #8)
by Avner GoldThe Marrano Prince, the eighth volume in the continuing Ruach Ami Series, takes place and Spain two centuries after the establishment of the Spanish Inquisition and the Expulsion of the Jews. Deprived of the talents of its Jews, Spain has gone into steep decline, and France and England have emerged as dominant powers in Europe. As the story unfolds, Spain and France are on the verge of a war in the Netherlands. A minister of the Council of State, who is also a secret Jew, is sent on a high-level diplomatic mission to the Netherlands, which turns into an unforeseen journey of discovery. When he finally returns to Spain, he finds his family has fallen under a cloud of suspicion, but before he can escape with his family he feels honor-bound to fulfill his duties to the king. In the meantime, he is being silently stalked by the evil confessor of the king and his minions in the Holy Office of the Inquisition. Before he realizes what is happening, a net of entrapment has closed around him. Danger and a sense of foreboding purveyed the pages of the gripping book. The story moves inexorably through the halls of power in Madrid, naval battles on the high seas, the marrano community of Amsterdam, the dungeons of the Inquisition in Toledo, the bullfights of Pamplona and across the length and breath of sun-drenched Spain. It is a story of courage and valor, of twists within twists peopled with colorful villains and heroes. In his inimitable fashion, Avner Gold has woven a great deal of historical information and a sense of the times into the fabric of the story itself. However, an extensive historical essay, entitled The Rise and Fall of Spain and It's Jews, has also been added to this book for the benefit of those readers who would like a better understanding of the evolution of the Jewish community of Spain and the origins and methods of the infamous Spanish Inquisition.
Marriage, a History: How Love Conquered Marriage
by Stephanie CoontzJust when the clamor over "traditional" marriage couldn't get any louder, along comes this groundbreaking book to ask, "What tradition?" In Marriage, a History, historian and marriage expert Stephanie Coontz takes readers from the marital intrigues of ancient Babylon to the torments of Victorian lovers to demonstrate how recent the idea of marrying for love is-and how absurd it would have seemed to most of our ancestors. It was when marriage moved into the emotional sphere in the nineteenth century, she argues, that it suffered as an institution just as it began to thrive as a personal relationship. This enlightening and hugely entertaining book brings intelligence, perspective, and wit to today's marital debate. "Provocative, erudite and entertaining. What makes this book so important is its honesty and courage. It raises the important debates about marriage in America to a higher level. " -Chicago Tribune "Engrossing . . . Coontz is at the top of her writing game here. " -The Seattle Times

The Martians (Mars Trilogy)
by Kim Stanley RobinsonKim Stanley Robinson's Mars trilogy is one of science fiction's most honored series, with Red Mars winning the distinguished Nebula Award, and both Green Mars and Blue Mars honored with the Hugo. A modern-day classic of the genre, this epic saga deftly portrays the human stories behind Earth's most ambitious project yet: the terraforming of Mars.Now, following the publication of his acclaimed adventure novel, Antarctica, Robinson returns to the realm he has made his own, in a work that brilliantly weaves together a futuristic setting with a poetic vision of the human spirit engaged in a drama as ancient as mankind itself.From a training mission in Antarctica to blistering sandstorms sweeping through labyrinths of barren canyons, the interwoven stories of The Martians set in motion a sprawling cast of characters upon the surface of Mars. As the planet is transformed from an unexplored and forbidding terrain to a troubled image of a re-created Earth, we meet men and women who are bound together by their experiences on Mars and with each other.Among them are Michel, a French psychologist dazzled by the beauty around him; Maya, a woman whose ill-fated love affairs lead to her first voyage to Mars; and Roger, a tall Martian-born guide who lacks social skills but has the courage to survive on the planet's dangerous yet strangely compelling surface.Beginning with the First Hundred explorers, generations of friends, enemies, and lovers are swept up in the drama that is Earth's tenuous toehold on Mars. International exploration turns into world building; world building degenerates into political conflict, revolution, and war.Following the strands of these lives and events, in an age when human life has been extended for decades, The Martians becomes the story of generations lived on the edge of the ultimate frontier, in a landscape of constant man-made and natural transformation.This new masterpiece by Kim Stanley Robinson is a story of hope and disappointment, of fierce physical and psychological struggles. Both deeply human and scientifically cutting edge, The Martians is the epic chronicle of a planet that represents one of humanity's most glorious possibilities.A Letter from Kim Stanley Robinson:"When I finished Blue Mars, I realized I wasn't done with Mars yet. There were things I still wanted to say about the place, and about my characters from the trilogy, and there were a number of sidebar stories and characters that had found no place in the trilogy's structure. I also had a couple of precursor Mars stories that did not fit the trilogy's history--'Exploring Fossil Canyon' and 'Green Mars'--and I had held these out of my earlier story collections thinking they belonged with the Mars group."So all this material was there, and as I wrote Antarctica, I found myself drawn back into the matter of Mars repeatedly, by the discovery of possible life in meteorite AHL8004 and by the Pathfinder landing. I decided to make a collection of Martian tales, and as I put them in roughly chronological order, I saw that they seemed to be adding up to their own larger story, functioning as the trilogy's 'unconscious' or 'secret history'. Using all kinds of modes, from folk tales to scientific articles, from personal accounts to the full text of a constitution, I arranged things so that the book altogether tells the story of an underground and hard-to-see resistance to the terraforming described in the trilogy proper. I had a great time doing these stories, and hope they add up to my own version of a Martian Chronicles."From the Paperback edition.
Martin Luther
by Martin MartyThis new series examines the lives of people who have had a major impact on the history or current practice of religion.
