Bringing sixteenth-century Languedoc vividly to life, Kate Mosse's The Burning Chambers is a gripping story of love and betrayal, mysteries and secrets; of war and adventure, conspiracies and divided loyalties. Carcassonne 1562: Nineteen-year-old Minou Joubert receives an anonymous letter at her father's bookshop. Sealed with a distinctive family crest, it contains just five words: SHE KNOWS THAT YOU LIVE. But before Minou can decipher the mysterious message, a chance encounter with a young Huguenot convert, Piet Reydon, changes her destiny forever. For Piet has a dangerous mission of his own, and he will need Minou's help if he is to get out of La Cite alive. Toulouse: As the religious divide deepens in the Midi, and old friends become enemies, Minou and Piet both find themselves trapped in Toulouse, facing new dangers as sectarian tensions ignite across the city, the battle-lines are drawn in blood and the conspiracy darkens further. Meanwhile, as a long-hidden document threatens to resurface, the mistress of Puivert is obsessed with uncovering its secret and strengthening her power.

Joseph Brodsky's last volume of poems in English, So Forth, represents eight years of masterful self-translation from the Russian, as well as a by now substantial body of work written directly in English. At the time of his death in 1996 Brodsky was recognized as one of the great poets of his mother tongue; yet after twenty four years in the United States, and decades of teaching and studying poetry in English, he had become a master of his adoptive language as well. The poems collected here reflect the many milieus he inhabited - rural Massachusetts, New York City, his native St. Petersburg, the great cities of Europe - but they are the voice of a citizen of the world, exploring the territories of language itself.

Toddlers can use their imaginations and go on an adventure in "On the Move: Drive Me!", a novelty board book from Priddy Books. With a 10-button sound bar and handle-shaped pages, each exciting spread focuses on a different vehicle. As well as the die-cut pages, there are two sounds to find to use with each vehicle - from a honking horn, revving engine and much more. The two-line rhymes on each page encourage the child to get involved and take on the role of a race car driver, astronaut, or a construction worker as they pretend to drive around the scenes.

In "The Real Crash", Peter Schiff details the issues facing our current economy and predicts that if changes are not made, the worse crash is still to come. Schiff argues that the American consumers are to blame, and that the government is exacerbating the situation by creating bailouts and stimulus plans that are merely blowing the bubble back up instead of revamping the broken system. Schiff's prescription is this: we need to consume less and save more while companies invest for the long-term and the government tightens it's belt. Perhaps most shockingly, Schiff declares that the only good solution is the one that no politician, debt commission, or TV talking head is proposing: America needs to acknowledge the reality, default and declare bankruptcy and begin reforming our broken system from the ground up.
