The answer, says Christopher Caldwell, is no&lt;i&gt;.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Europe has undergone a demographic revolution it never expected. A half century of mass immigration has failed to produce anything resembling an American-style melting pot. By overestimating its need for immigrant labor and underestimating the culture-shaping potential of religion, Europe has trapped itself in a problem to which it has no obvious solution.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Christopher Caldwell has been reporting on the politics and culture of Islam in Europe for more than a decade. His deeply researched and insightful new book reveals a paradox. Since World War II, mass immigration has been made possible by Europe&amp;#8217;s enforcement of secularism, tolerance, and equality. But when immigrants arrive, they are not required to adopt those values. And they are disinclined to, since they already have values of their own. Muslims dominate or nearly dominate important European cities, including Amsterdam and Rotterdam, Strasbourg and Marseille, the Paris suburbs and East London. Islam has challenged the European way of life at every turn, becoming, in effect, an &amp;#8220;adversary culture.&amp;#8221;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The result? In &lt;i&gt;Reflections on the Revolution in Europe&lt;/i&gt;, Caldwell reveals the anger of natives and newcomers alike. He describes guest worker programs that far outlasted their economic justifications, and asylum policies that have served illegal immigrants better than refugees. He exposes the strange ways in which welfare states interact with Third World customs, the anti-Americanism that brings European natives and Muslim newcomers together, and the arguments over women and sex that drive them apart. He considers the appeal of sharia, &amp;#8220;resistance,&amp;#8221; and jihad to a second generation that is more alienated from Europe than the first, and addresses a crisis of faith among native Europeans that leaves them with a weak hand as they confront the claims of newcomers. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;As increasingly assertive immigrant populations shape the continent, Caldwell writes, the foundations of European culture and civilization are being challenged and replaced. &lt;i&gt;Reflections on the Revolution in Europe&lt;/i&gt; is destined to become the classic work on how Muslim immigration permanently reshaped the West.&lt;br&gt;www.doubleday.com&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt;</content>

In &lt;i&gt;Green Medicine&lt;/i&gt;, he examines this issue and provides a conceptual foundation and valuable guide for those who seek deeper and more lasting healing. Using layperson&amp;rsquo;s language, the author draws on a rich range of fields&amp;mdash;including physics, philosophy, Jungianism, shamanism, alchemy, dream theory, Eastern thought, Western esotericism, and orthodox medicine&amp;mdash;to create a green medical paradigm that represents a powerful synthesis of medical inclusivity.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Dr. Malerba interweaves case histories from his own practice with the latest research in the fields of alternative and traditional Western medicine. He addresses a wealth of timely questions: Do pharmaceutical drugs create more problems than they solve? Is our current vaccination policy effective? How can conventional doctors and spiritual healers begin to work together? How can readers transform corporate medicine by becoming educated participants in their own healthcare? &lt;i&gt;Green Medicine&lt;/i&gt; offers a practical and philosophical basis for building a viable green alternative that draws on the inherent unity of body, heart, mind, and soul.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt;</content>

Bernstein maps this erotic history through a chronology of notable personalities. Here are some of Europe&amp;#8217;s greatest literary personalities and explorers: Marco Polo, writing on the harem of Kublai Khan; Gustave Flaubert, describing his dalliances with Egyptian prostitutes (and the diseases he picked up along the way); and Richard Francis Burton, adventurer, lothario, anthropologist&amp;#8212;and translator of &lt;i&gt;The Arabian Nights.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Here also are those figures less well-known but with stories no less captivating or surprising:&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt;Europeans whose &amp;#8220;temporary marriages&amp;#8221; to Japanese women might have inspired Puccini&amp;#8217;s &lt;i&gt;Madama Butterfly&lt;/i&gt;; rare visitors to the boudoirs of Chinese emperors in the Forbidden City; American G.I.s and journalists in Vietnam discovering the sexual emoluments of postcolonial power; men attracted to the sex bazaars of yesterday&amp;#8217;s North Africa and the Thailand of today. And throughout, Bernstein explores the lives of those women who suffered for or profited from the fantasies of Western men.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;A remarkable work of history: as unexpected as it is lucid, and as provocative as it is brilliantly illuminating.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;From the Hardcover edition.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt;</content>

Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn as our guides, we undertake an odyssey through Africa and Asia to meet the extraordinary women struggling there, among them a Cambodian teenager sold into sex slavery and an Ethiopian woman who suffered devastating injuries in childbirth. Drawing on the breadth of their combined reporting experience, Kristof and WuDunn depict our world with anger, sadness, clarity, and, ultimately, hope.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;They show how a little help can transform the lives of women and girls abroad. That Cambodian girl eventually escaped from her brothel and, with assistance from an aid group, built a thriving retail business that supports her family. The Ethiopian woman had her injuries repaired and in time became a surgeon. A Zimbabwean mother of five, counseled to return to school, earned her doctorate and became an expert on AIDS.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Through these stories, Kristof and WuDunn help us see that the key to economic progress lies in unleashing women&amp;#8217;s potential. They make clear how so many people have helped to do just that, and how we can each do our part. Throughout much of the world, the greatest unexploited economic resource is the female half of the population. Countries such as China have prospered precisely because they emancipated women and brought them into the formal economy. Unleashing that process globally is not only the right thing to do; it&amp;#8217;s also the best strategy for fighting poverty.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Deeply felt, pragmatic, and inspirational, &lt;i&gt;Half the Sky&lt;/i&gt; is essential reading for every global citizen.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;From the Hardcover edition.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt;</content>

They have exposed truths and spread rumors. Made and lost fortunes. Brought couples together and torn them apart. Toppled cabinet members and sparked grassroots movements. Immediate, intimate, and influential, they have put the power of personal publishing into everyone&amp;#8217;s hands. Regularly dismissed as trivial and ephemeral, they have proved that they are here to stay.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;In &lt;i&gt;Say Everything,&lt;/i&gt; Scott Rosenberg chronicles blogging&amp;#8217;s unplanned rise and improbable triumph, tracing its impact on politics, business, the media, and our personal lives. He offers close-ups of innovators such as Blogger founder Evan Williams, investigative journalist Josh Marshall, exhibitionist diarist Justin Hall, software visionary Dave Winer, &amp;quot;mommyblogger&amp;quot; Heather Armstrong, and many others. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;These blogging pioneers were the first to face new dilemmas that have become common in the era of Google and Facebook, and their stories offer vital insights and warnings as we navigate the future. How much of our lives should we reveal on the Web? Is anonymity a boon or a curse? Which voices can we trust? What does authenticity look like on a stage where millions are fighting for attention, yet most only write for a handful? And what happens to our culture now that everyone can say everything?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Before blogs, it was easy to believe that the Web would grow up to be a clickable TV&amp;#8211;slick, passive, mass-market. Instead, blogging brought the Web&amp;#8217;s native character into focus&amp;#8211;convivial, expressive, democratic. Far from being pajama-clad loners, bloggers have become the curators of our collective experience, testing out their ideas in front of a crowd and linking people in ways that broadcasts can&amp;#8217;t match. Blogs have created a new kind of public sphere&amp;#8211;one in which we can think out loud together. And now that we have begun, Rosenberg writes, it is impossible to imagine us stopping.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;In his first book, &lt;i&gt;Dreaming in Code,&lt;/i&gt; Scott Rosenberg brilliantly explored the art of creating software (&amp;quot;the first true successor to &lt;i&gt;The Soul of a New Machine,&lt;/i&gt;&amp;quot; wrote James Fallows in &lt;i&gt;The Atlantic&lt;/i&gt;). In &lt;i&gt;Say Everything,&lt;/i&gt; Rosenberg brings the same perceptive eye to the blogosphere, capturing as no one else has the birth of a new medium.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;From the Hardcover edition.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt;</content>

These impacts can best be seen in a wide variety of archaeological discoveries, primarily from distinctive pre-Christian burials, which contain weapons, tools, jewellery and metal, wood and bone artefacts. Written by an expert in the field of Viking and Norse archaeology, this book examines the distinctive archaeology of each phase, aspect or area of Norse impact in turn, with sufficient historical background to put the archaeological discoveries into context.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt;</content>

In this endlessly entertaining follow-up to his bestselling social history &lt;i&gt;740 Park&lt;/i&gt;, Gross pulls back the shades of secrecy that have long shrouded the upper class&amp;#8217;s cultural and philanthropic ambitions and maneuvers. And he paints a revealing portrait of a previously hidden face of American wealth and power.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The Metropolitan, Gross writes, &amp;#8220;is a huge alchemical experiment, turning the worst of man&amp;#8217;s attributes&amp;#8212;extravagance, lust, gluttony, acquisitiveness, envy, avarice, greed, egotism, and pride&amp;#8212;into the very best, transmuting deadly sins into priceless treasure.&amp;#8221; The book covers the entire 138-year history of the Met, focusing on the museum&amp;#8217;s most colorful characters. Opening with the lame-duck director Philippe de Montebello, the museum&amp;#8217;s longest-serving leader who finally stepped down in 2008, &lt;i&gt;Rogues&amp;#8217; Gallery&lt;/i&gt; then goes back to the very beginning, highlighting, among many others: the first director, Luigi Palma di Cesnola, an Italian-born epic phony, whose legacy is a trove of plundered ancient relics, some of which remain on display today; John Pierpont Morgan, the greatest capitalist and art collector of his day, who turned the museum from the plaything of a handful of rich amateurs into a professional operation dedicated, sort of, to the public good; John D. Rockefeller Jr., who never served the Met in any official capacity but who, during the Great Depression, proved the only man willing and rich enough to be its benefactor, which made him its behind-the-scenes puppeteer; the controversial Thomas Hoving, whose tenure as director during the sixties and seventies revolutionized museums around the world but left the Met in chaos; and Jane Engelhard and Annette de la Renta, a mother-daughter trustee tag team whose stories will astonish you (think &lt;i&gt;Casablanca&lt;/i&gt; rewritten by Edith Wharton).&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;With a supporting cast that includes artists, forgers, and looters, financial geniuses and scoundrels, museum officers (like its chairman Arthur Amory Houghton, head of Corning Glass, who once ripped apart a priceless and ancient Islamic book in order to sell it off piecemeal), trustees (like Jayne Wrightsman, the Hollywood party girl turned society grand dame), curators (like the aging Dietrich von Bothmer, a refugee from Nazi Germany with a Bronze Star for heroism whose greatest acquisitions turned out to be looted), and donors (like Irwin Untermyer, whose collecting obsession drove his wife and children to suicide), and with cameo appearances by everyone from &lt;i&gt;Vogue &lt;/i&gt;editors Anna Wintour and Diana Vreeland to Sex Pistols front man Johnny Rotten, &lt;i&gt;Rogues&amp;#8217; Gallery&lt;/i&gt; is a rich, satisfying, alternately hilarious and horrifying look at America&amp;#8217;s upper class, and what is perhaps its greatest creation.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt;</content>

When the religion is Orthodox Judaism, the task is even more daunting. This anthology takes on that challenge by giving voice to genderqueer Jewish women who were once silenced&amp;#8212;and effectively rendered invisible&amp;#8212;by their faith. &lt;i&gt;Keep Your Wives Away from Them &lt;/i&gt;tells the story of those who have come out, who are still closeted, living double lives, or struggling to maintain an integrated &amp;quot;single life&amp;quot; in relationship to traditional Judaism&amp;#8212;personal stories that are both enlightening and edifying. While a number of films and books have explored the lives of queer people in Orthodox and observant Judaism, only this one explores in depth what happens after the struggle, when the real work of building integrated lives begins. The candor of these insightful stories in &lt;i&gt;Keep Your Wives Away from Them &lt;/i&gt;makes the book appealing to a general audience and students of women&amp;#8217;s, gender, and LGBTQ studies, as well as for anyone struggling personally with the same issue. Contributors include musician and writer Temim Fruchter, Professor Joy Ladin, writer Leah Lax, nurse Tamar Prager, and the pseudonymous Ex-Yeshiva Girl.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt;</content>

And yet most of us go through each day unaware of the mathematics that shapes our lives.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;In fact, many people go through life fearing and avoiding mathematics, making choices that keep it at arm&amp;#8217;s length or further. Even basic math &amp;#8212; like arithmetic &amp;#8212; can seem baffling.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;In &lt;b&gt;Our Days Are Numbered&lt;/b&gt;, Jason Brown leads the reader through a typical day, on a fascinating journey. He shows us the world through a mathematician's eyes and reveals the huge role that mathematics plays in our lives. It lies hidden within the electronics we use, the banking we do, and even the leisure activities we enjoy. Whether we&amp;#8217;re putting a down payment on a new car, reading the financial pages, or listening to our favourite songs, math is behind it all.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;At once entertaining and informative, &lt;b&gt;Our Days Are Numbered &lt;/b&gt;covers an array of mathematic concepts and explores the hidden links between mathematics and everyday life. Brown reveals that a basic understanding of math can make us more creative in the way we approach the world.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;From the Hardcover edition.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt;</content>
