Book excerpt: A modern tale in the tradition of the noir fiction classics of James M. Cain and Elmore Leonard, Deadly Instinct tells the story of two couples who are brought together by a fundamental human instinct - the desire for children - but instead find themselves embroiled in a dangerous scheme fueled by greed and avarice. Billy and Barbara Evans seem like an ordinary couple, but looks are deceiving where Billy is concerned. An early-30s man who has never truly grown up, he dreams of riches and position; Barbara, his high school sweetheart, simply wants a family and is blind to Billy's dark side, though she is aware of his close ties to the shady and rich Jacko Denby. Prominent and respectable on the outside, Denby is reputed to have organized crime ties that pay for his opulent lifestyle, one that Billy craves for himself and Barbara. Sarah and Jacob Glass live in the nearby West Virginia coal mining country, but are worlds apart from the Evans in education and social position. Both are salt of the earth people, honest and hardworking, and desperate to have the child they cannot conceive. In their early 40s, they are now eager to adopt, but Jacob's teenage criminal past and their precarious finances have made it impossible. The story moves at an exhilarating pace when Ethan Boggs, a disgraced lawyer, enters their lives. Boggs, who is adroit at arranging hasty and superficially legal adoptions for aspiring parents who are willing to pay, wrestles with his own demons of gambling and alcohol. His instincts for self-destruction put him under the thumb of a local loan shark and render him constantly in need of cash. Billy's semi-legitimate business schemes with Denby bring him tastes of the wealth he craves. Desperate to have it all, he concocts an unholy plan that will give him the financial success he desires, but at a price he cannot imagine. A shrewd detective and a glamorous television reporter begin to sniff out the truth, leading to a fateful confrontation with a shattering climax. Deadly Instinct weaves a complex web of deceit, blood and passion in an unforgettable tale of the most basic human instincts - and their explosive consequences.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A historian of science examines key public debates about the fundamental nature of humans to ask why a polarized discourse about nature versus nurture became so entrenched in the popular sciences of animal and human behavior. Are humans innately aggressive or innately cooperative? In the 1960s, bestselling books enthralled American readers with the startling claim that humans possessed an instinct for violence inherited from primate ancestors. Critics responded that humans were inherently loving and altruistic. The resulting debateÑfiercely contested and highly publicÑleft a lasting impression on the popular science discourse surrounding what it means to be human. Killer Instinct traces how Konrad Lorenz, Robert Ardrey, and their followers drew on the sciences of animal behavior and paleoanthropology to argue that the aggression instinct drove human evolutionary progress. Their message, spread throughout popular media, brought pointed ripostes. Led by the anthropologist Ashley Montagu, opponents presented a rival vision of human nature, equally based in biological evidence, that humans possessed inborn drives toward love and cooperation. Over the course of the debate, however, each side accused the other of holding an extremist position: that behavior was either determined entirely by genes or shaped solely by environment. Nadine Weidman shows that what started as a dispute over the innate tendencies of animals and humans transformed into an opposition between nature and nurture. This polarized formulation proved powerful. When E. O. Wilson introduced his sociobiology in 1975, he tried to rise above the oppositional terms of the aggression debate. But the controversy over WilsonÕs workÑled by critics like the feminist biologist Ruth HubbardÑwas ultimately absorbed back into the nature-versus-nurture formulation. Killer Instinct explores what happens and what gets lost when polemics dominate discussions of the science of human nature.

Book excerpt: Every once in a while, someone with unprecedented access to the truth, lifts the veil in a memoir so stark and revealing that it has the power to reframe history and our perceptions of those who defined it. Pascal Mahvi's book is one such to me. The Deadly Secrets of Iranian Princes, which spans three decades, is Mahvi's candid account of his struggle growing up straddling two cultures and in the process reconciling his own identity both as an American and a descendant of Iranian royalty. When the newly appointed Shah of Iran reaches out to Mahvi's father to become his chief advisor and confidante, young Pascal is thrust into the controversial leader's elite inner-sanctum during one of the most pivotal periods in history. The author's story of survival is at once both riveting and poignant, offering rare, intimate glimpses of the Shah at his most human away from the glare of the spotlight. It is also a window into the surprising strengths and frailties of some of the world's most famous celebrities from the deeply personal perspective of someone who unexpectedly finds himself an intimate part of their world.

The revelations in this book, from corporate treason and corrupt government to the surreal demands of being an insider in the shadow of a nuclear arms race are sure to ignite a firestorm of controversy, especially for those whose betrayals will finally become public. More than a news story, at its heart, Deadly Secrets of Iranian Princes is also a haunting testimonial to the complexities of extreme privilege and the unforgettable chronicle of one man's quest to honor his father....
