'The Jon Stewart of the Arabic World'' -- the creator of The Program, the most popular television show in Egypt's history -- chronicles his transformation from heart surgeon to political satirist, and offers crucial insight into the Arab Spring, the Egyptian Revolution, and the turmoil roiling the modern Middle East. Bassem Youssef's incendiary satirical news program, Al-Bernameg (The Program), chronicled the events of the 2011 Egyptian Revolution, the fall of President Hosni Mubarak, and the rise of Mubarak's successor, Mohamed Morsi. Youssef not only captured his nation's dissent but stamped it with his own brand of humorous political criticism, in which the Egyptian government became the prime laughing stock. So potent were Youssef's skits, jokes, and commentary, the authoritarian government accused him of insulting the Egyptian presidency and Islam. After a six-hour long police interrogation, Youssef was released. While his case was eventually dismissed, his television show was terminated, and Youssef, fearful for his safety, fled his homeland. In Revolution for Dummies, Youssef recounts his life and offers hysterical riffs on the hypocrisy, instability, and corruption that has long animated Egyptian politics. From the attempted cover-up of the violent clashes in Tahrir Square to the government's announcement that it had created the world's first ''AIDS cure'' machine, to the conviction of officials that Youssef was a CIA operative -- recruited by Jon Stewart -- to bring down the country through sarcasm. There's much more -- and it's all insanely true. Interweaving the dramatic and inspiring stories of the development of his popular television show and his rise as the most contentious funny-man in Egypt, Youssef's humorous, fast-paced takes on dictatorship, revolution, and the unforeseeable destiny of democracy in the Modern Middle East offers much needed hope and more than a few healing laughs.

The epic story continues in Tatiana and Alexander -- a novel of the enduring power of love and commitment against the devastating forces of war and the equally dangerous forces of keeping the peace. Tatiana is eighteen years old, pregnant, and widowed when she escapes war-torn Leningrad to find a new life in America. But the ghosts of her past do not rest easily. She becomes consumed by the belief that her husband, Red Army officer Alexander Belov, is still alive and needs her desperately. Meanwhile, oceans and continents away in the Soviet Union, Alexander barely escapes execution, and is forced to lead a battalion of soldiers considered expendable by the Soviet high command. Yet Alexander is determined to take his men through the ruins of Europe in one last desperate bid to escape Stalin's death machine and somehow find his way to Tatiana once again. A sweeping, intensely compelling romantic historical saga, Tatiana and Alexander is a Russian Thorn Birds and truly unforgettable.

[*Read by the author - Nick Nolte - and Christian Baskous]''I had become an actor because real life was hard for me. Sometimes it was really rough. Acting was different from real life, yet it gave me the chance to search for complex stories that helped me understand and cope with what I encountered away from the stage lights.''The legendary icon tells his story -- a tale of art, passion, commitment, and addiction, as intense and hypnotic as the man himself. One day you're the sexiest man alive, and another day your face is like a flattened road-killed bird in the worst mug shot of all time.  In a career spanning five decades, Nick Nolte has endured the rites of Hollywood celebrity. Rising from obscurity to leading roles and Oscar nominations, he has been both celebrated and vilified in the media; survived marriages, divorces, and a string of romances; was named the ''Sexiest Man Alive'' by People magazine; and suffered public humiliation over his drug and alcohol issues, including a drug-fueled trip down a long road of nothingness that ended in arrest. Despite these ups and downs, Nolte has remained true to the craft he loves, portraying a diverse range of characters with his trademark physicality and indelible gravelly voice. Already thirty-five when his performance in the 1976 miniseries Rich Man, Poor Man launched him to stardom, Nolte never learned to play by Hollywood's rules. A rebel who defies expectations, an obsessive method actor who will go to extremes for a role (he lived among the homeless to prepare for Down and Out in Beverly Hills), Nolte is motivated more by edgier, more personal projects than by box office success. Today he is clean yet still driven, juggling a number of upcoming works and raising his young daughter. A man who refuses to hide his mistakes, Nolte now delivers his most revealing performance yet. This memoir offers a candid, unvarnished close-up look at the man, the career, the loves, and the life.

[Includes Bonus PDF with maps and more!] [Read by Sean Runnette] Denominations from evangelical to mainline continue to experience deep divisions over universal social issues. The underlying debate isn't about the particular social issue but about the ''authority of the Bible.'' Addressing the key questions and hot button issues that plague the church and cultural debate, Hamilton organizes the book according the concerns that matter most. Hamilton, for the first time, offers an all-encompassing look at his spiritual views. Here, he proposes a new way of seeing scripture that is more elastic, realistic, and human than many conservatives currently see it while more divine and authoritative than many progressives see it.
