David Sellers can't stop thinking about the beautiful California Napa Sonoma Mendocino Coastline, even though he's never been there before. He's grateful for the opportunity to go, thanks to a suggestion and a pair of tickets from his boss's secretary. It's a welcome distraction from the dangerous situation he's currently embroiled in back home. He had planned to return soon, but that all changed when he met Charlotte Von Shillingsfurst. Meanwhile, Jasper Symthe and Otto Weinberger are puzzling over a relic or artifact found on the Von Shillingsfurst estate. Jasper, an architect tasked with remodeling the estate, and Otto, a university professor of archaeology and theology, are both intrigued. Jasper has no idea what the object is, and Otto is hesitant to investigate further. As it turns out, Charlotte, an heiress who has never been in danger before, suddenly finds herself under attack. Someone or something is determined to protect her, and the quiet town she's lived in her whole life is not what it seems. 26 years ago, the town welcomed a wealthy royal couple and their child, Charlotte. But now, things have taken a dangerous turn.

A Novel

From the critically acclaimed author of Absolution, a "dazzling . . . thrilling . . . downright exhilarating" (The Washington Post) page-turner set in the American heartland.

In Patrick Flanery's tensely brilliant second novel, the layered and tumultuous past of one plot of former farmland comes to haunt its new owners in breathtaking yet deeply meaningful ways.

When Julia and Nathaniel arrive in a luxury suburb of neo-Victorian homes on the edge of a sprawling midwestern city, they have no inkling of its history. For the East Coast couple and their young son, Copley, it is a fresh start, promising a bucolic American future. They buy up the signature home of the development in a foreclosure sale and move in to their brave new world. Yet violence lies just beneath the surface of this land, and simmers deep within Nathaniel--as it did in the development's architect. As the remaining trees on the land bear witness, reality shifts, and the edges of what is right and wrong blur and then vanish, as Copley becomes convinced that someone is living in the house with them.

The Spoils of War

During both the American Revolution and the Civil War, Charleston was not just a symbolic target but also one of the wealthiest--at least until the shelling started. Once the redcoats of 1780 and the Yankees of 1865 stormed in, nary a church, business or private home was spared fevered plundering. Worse, Charleston's own homefront defenders oftentimes helped themselves to unguarded heirlooms. In 1779, Eliza Wilkinson's shoe buckles were stolen right off her feet. In 1865, Union soldiers butchered several of Williams Middleton's valuable water buffalo and stole the others, some of which were later found at the Central Park Zoo in New York City. Join author and historian J. Grahame Long as he recounts the looting and lost treasures of Charleston.

GMOs and the Future of the American Diet

In the past two decades, GMOs have come to dominate the American diet. Advocates hail them as the future of food, an enhanced method of crop breeding that can help feed an ever-increasing global population and adapt to a changing environment. Critics, meanwhile, call for their banishment, insisting GMOs were designed by overeager scientists and greedy corporations and force us to rely on cheap, unhealthy, processed food. Here noted environment writer McKay Jenkins examines the rise of GMOs - and their future.

How to Create Local, Sustainable, and Secure Food Systems

Droves of people have turned to local food as a way to retreat from our broken industrial food system. From rural outposts to city streets, they are sowing, growing, selling, and eating food produced close to home--and they are crying out for agricultural reform. All this has made "local food" into everything from a movement buzzword to the newest darling of food trendsters.

But now it's time to take the conversation to the next level. That's exactly what Philip Ackerman-Leist does in Rebuilding the Foodshed, in which he refocuses the local-food lens on the broad issue of rebuilding regional food systems that can replace the destructive aspects of industrial agriculture, meet food demands affordably and sustainably, and be resilient enough to endure potentially rough times ahead.

Changing our foodscapes raises a host of questions. How far away is local? How do you decide the size and geography of a regional foodshed? How do you tackle tough issues that plague food systems large and small--issues like inefficient transportation, high energy demands, and rampant food waste? How do you grow what you need with minimum environmental impact? And how do you create a foodshed that's resilient enough if fuel grows scarce, weather gets more severe, and traditional supply chains are hampered?

Showcasing some of the most promising, replicable models for growing, processing, and distributing sustainably grown food, this book points the reader toward the next stages of the food revolution. It also covers the full landscape of the burgeoning local-food movement, from rural to suburban to urban, and from backyard gardens to large-scale food enterprises.
