by Georgette HeyerThe debut novel from the beloved New York Times–bestselling &“Queen of the Regency Romance&” (Lauren Willig). Accused of cheating at cards, Jack Carstares left England seven long years ago, sacrificing his honor for that of the actual culprit: his eldest brother.

More determined than ever to have her, the duke continues to pursue Diana, but she is not about to surrender her virtue to him, having lost her heart to the mysterious outlaw who rescued her. If he can defeat the Black Moth for good, Jack may finally reclaim his honor—and bridge the gap between his tarnished past and his hope for Diana&’s hand . . . Written when Georgette Heyer was only seventeen, in an attempt to entertain her younger brother, this Georgian-era romance continues to captivate readers to this day.

Their lives feel unmanageable—and they are confused, blocked, overwhelmed and unable to move forward effectively. Kathy Caprino sheds light on this growing epidemic of disempowerment and shows women how to reinvigorate and reclaim their lives.Breakdown, Breakthrough uses a comprehensive coaching, behavioral, and spiritual framework to explore how women can restore their power and reconnect with their life visions as they awake from the paralysis of professional dissatisfaction and personal diminishment. Caprino outlines a new model for understanding disempowerment, one that focuses on women’s relationships with themselves, with others, with the world, and with what she calls their higher selves. She identifies twelve specific challenges professional women face and offers concrete, practical advice for overcoming each one—helping readers “step back, let go of what is holding them back, and say yes” to creating a compelling and rewarding next chapter of life and work.

Emile: Or On Education
by Jean-Jacques Rousseau Barbara FoxleyThe once banned and burned treatise on the nature of education from the eighteenth-century philosopher and author of The Social Contract. Considered by Jean-Jacques Rousseau himself to be the &“best and most important&” of all his writings, Émile set off a firestorm when it was first published in 1762. It was banned in Paris and burned in Geneva, but later served as the inspiration for a new national system of education during the French Revolution. In its pages, Émile and his tutor embark on a scholarly journey through the boy&’s upbringing. The book also follows the character of Sophie, commenting on the role of women in society. &“More a tract upon education with the appearance of a story than it is a novel, the book describes the ideal education which prepares Émile and Sophie for their eventual marriage&” (The Roots of Educational Theory). &“Jean-Jacques Rousseau&’s Émile or Treatise on Education remains relevant today. The theories and beliefs of Enlightenment philosophers such as Rousseau played a big role in shaping the beliefs of the public at the time, particularly when they were able to distribute their ideas on paper. Without written documents such as this one, it would be impossible to understand their impact on society and, more broadly, on how the idea of nature-based gender and separated spheres have evolved to what they are today.&” —Towards Emancipation?

China's Brave New World: And Other Tales for Global Times (Encounters: Explorations in Folklore and Ethnomusicology)
by Jeffrey N. WasserstromThe author of Vigil: Hong Kong on the Brink delivers &“a must-read for anyone interested in the world&’s most rapidly changing society&” (James L. Watson, editor of Golden Arches East: McDonald&’s in East Asia). If Chairman Mao came back to life today, what would he think of Nanjing&’s bookstore, the Librairie Avant-Garde, where it is easier to find primers on Michel Foucault&’s philosophy than copies of the Little Red Book? What does it really mean to order a latte at Starbucks in Beijing? Is it possible that Aldous Huxley wrote a novel even more useful than Orwell&’s 1984 for making sense of post-Tiananmen China—or post-9/11 America? In these often playful, always enlightening &“tales,&” Jeffrey N. Wasserstrom poses these and other questions as he journeys from 19th-century China into the future, and from Shanghai to Chicago, St. Louis, and Budapest. He argues that simplistic views of China and Americanization found in most soundbite-driven media reports serve us poorly as we try to understand China&’s place in the current world order—or our own. &“Rather effortlessly brilliant . . . It penetrates with a lightly knowing eye and ear into the interior mind, heart and soul of giant China and the innumerable Chinese.&”—AsiaMedia &“This book provides a powerful lens for outsiders to understand a globalizing China and a unique mirror for the Chinese to reflect on their own society in a global context.&”—Yunxiang Yan, author of Private Life Under Socialism &“Readers will find themselves far more observant and attentive to local distinctions when they take their first or next trip to China.&”—Stanley Rosen, The China Journal No. 60
