 •  A Novel For Fathers, Duffers, and Duffer-Fathers:
Bob Cupp's new book, The Edict, heads back to 1457, the year that the Scottish Parliament banned golf. Of course, it takes a lot more than an act of Parliament to keep players from their game. The Edict blends history and a true love of the sport in an unforgettable novel just perfect for fathers, mothers, and anyone who dreams of the perfect hole-in-one. Read a Q&A with the author.

 •  Prevent Political Paranoia:
Election season can be overwhelming--it's the best and the worst of politics all stuffed into a single year. Arm yourself with The Paranoid Style in American Politics, a classic collection of essays by the Pulitzer-Prize winning Richard Hofstadter. In these essays, Hofstadter digs deep into American history to reveal the truth about the fringe groups who have influenced American politics in the last century. Read an excerpt.
