Using the Atlanta Braves as a focal point, Scout’s Honor is an in-depth look at what instinct and gut reaction means to baseball and how the numbers-don’t-lie style of the new breed is not only misleading, but mistaken.

The first of three books in an exciting new series, The Book of Harry Potter Trifles, Trivias and Particularities is designed to delight and challenge Potter fans of all ages. Its nine quests, each built around a different aspect of wizardry — Hogwarts and Academia, Potions and Spells, Magical Menagerie, and others — contain questions in three skill levels: Salamander, Phoenix, and Dragon. These magical creatures increase in size, just as the questions increase in difficulty. All are associated with the element of fire, which is said to govern leadership, enthusiasm, and competitiveness, making it an ideal theme for question difficulty. An answer key at the end of each quest allows readers to check their answers by question number, with the source of the answer cited according to book and chapter number. Scattered throughout, hints and intriguing trivia tidbits, including little-known historical facts referenced in the Potter series, keep readers informed, engaged, and entertained.

This compulsively readable collection features not only corporate success stories, but those from entertainment, sports, the military, small business, philanthropy, and entrepreneurship. Through his unorthodox interview style, John Eckberg elicits revealing commentary and off-the-cuff answers from America’s best business minds before they have the chance to formulate a generic response. The results are extraordinary and often completely unexpected, penetrating what would normally be a closed shop of intellect, insight, and innovation. Instead of sound bites and PR spin, readers receive unparalleled perspective and compelling life lessons. Details like what music the interviewees are listening to and which books are on their nightstands add a delightfully human touch to each profile.

Attorney Bill Lawrence’s hitman client unloads a bombshell that will change history: evidence of a murder he committed on September 11, 2001. After finding the explosive documents, Bill immediately enters his family into the witness protection program, much to the dismay of his 24-year-old daughter, Claudia, who’s not thrilled about being uprooted from her job and her boyfriend. But the next morning her parents are killed by a car bomb, the hitman is murdered in his cell, and Claudia is accused of her parents’ murder. She and her 12-year-old brother, Adam, become fugitives, running from the police and the rogue FBI agents who want them dead. Their only hope of survival is to find the evidence her father possessed, and she and Adam are led on a cross-country quest that eventually lands them on a Chesapeake Bay estate. There, in an ultra-tense climax, Claudia finally deciphers the ugly secret behind 9/11. Will she live to tell about it?

CHAOS ERUPTS at the U.S. Supreme Court when an assassin guns down six justices as they are hearing a case. Solicitor General Jefferson McKenna, the government's top lawyer in the Supreme Court, is appointed to the multiagency commission investigating the murders. As Congress draws battle lines over who will replace the slain justices, the commission follows clue after clue, each one pointing to an unlikely suspect: McKenna himself. In a desperate bid to prove his innocence, McKenna, on the run with his deputy, Kate Porter, must track down a disgraced law clerk with ties to hidden Saudi assets. But their search leads to unexpected alliances, unearthing dark secrets and corruption at the highest levels -- and the people with clues to the riddle keep turning up dead. From the marble halls of the high court to the inner corridors of the West Wing, from the D.C. housing projects to the desolate back roads of a New York Indian reservation, McKenna and Porter are on a collision course with a shadowy enemy who will stop at nothing to keep the truth buried. From its explosive first page to its haunting conclusion, THE LAST JUSTICE explores the politics of law, the bounds of friendship and love, and the frightening price of unbridled ambition.

Stars of Bravo TV’s The Real Housewives of New York City, Alex McCord and Simon van Kempen, have a hit show and a great book, Little Kids, Big City, a lighthearted and critically acclaimed he-said, she-said rant, about their experiences raising their two young children in the Big Apple. More of a Momoir (and Dadoir) covering the last 10 years of their lives, Alex &amp; Simon write with a unique and humorous insight into the challenges facing parents today. They use their own hard-won experience as a springboard to discuss life before children and their determination not to have any, followed by their journey and eventual change of heart and the rollercoaster ride of having two children in two years in a seemingly non-child-friendly environment. Rather than a preachy, how-to guide, Simon &amp; Alex take the reader on a romp through the indignities and surprises that befell them. Their informative and often hair-raising stories of life in the concrete jungle make Little Kids, Big City a must-read for anyone who has ever had children, hated children or thought they might want to have them someday, as well as for any fan of their hit show.

The intricacies and issues surrounding the health care reform debate are the specialty of Alan B. Miller, CEO of Universal Health Services, Inc. an industry leader operating 138 private hospitals in the United States and Puerto Rico. He addresses health care system's inefficiencies and offers sound solutions. Miller debunks the purported 45.7 million uninsured figure and offers 13 to 16 million, a realistic goal. He dissects what’s financially wrong with Medicare and Medicaid; he explains the negative impacts of a single payer system; he tackles the uninsured immigration issue; and places a spotlight on malpractice tort reform and the inadequacies within the insurance industry. If these issues were addressed, Miller contends, the government could save the majority of the $1 trillion earmarked for health care reform. In Reform that Makes Sense, Miller puts politics and punditry aside and simply lays out the facts. He approaches it in medical termsdiagnosis and remedy. For Miller, the answers to the nation’s health care problems are found within the private sector, not a sprawling bureaucracy.
