Book excerpt: By 1929, the brief, brilliant career of Bix Beiderbecke––self–taught cornetist, pianist, and composer––had already become legend. From the summer of '26 at Hudson Lake, Indiana, when his genius blazed forth with a strange, doomed incandescence, Bix's career tragically reflected the chaotic impulses of a country suddenly awash in wealth, power, and a profound cynicism. Shy, elusive, inarticulate, Bix was beloved by both the raccoon–coated campus crowd and the men who nightly played alongside him. He is still celebrated in a yearly festival in his hometown of Davenport, Iowa.And that is where the novel begins, Davenport and the Bix Fest. Then it travels back in time to focus on the highlights of a meteoric career: a Capone–controlled nightclub in 1926; the grueling cross–country tours with Paul Whiteman's Symphonic Jazz orchestra; the disastrous Whiteman trip to California to make the first all–color talkie musical; the stock market crash of 1929 that finds Bix in an asylum, victim of the era's signature product, bootleg gin; and finally, Bix's dying efforts to combine his piano compositions into a suite that would be the pinnacle of his life's work and his evocation of his time and place.Colored by some of the age's most popular characters––Maurice Ravel, Bing Crosby, Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, and Clara Bow–– 1929 brilliantly illuminates a period in history, personified in the gifted, compelling, and melancholy figure of Bix Beiderbecke.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The study of memory had become my specialty, my passion. In the next few years I wrote dozens of papers about how memory works and how it fails, but unlike most researchers studying memory, my work kept reaching out into the real world. To what extent, I wondered, could a person's memory be shaped by suggestion? When people witness a serious automobile accident, how accurate is their recollection of the facts? If a witness is questioned by a police officer, will the manner of questioning alter the representation of the memory? Can memories be supplemented with additional, false information?" The "passion" Loftus describes in the lines above led her to a teaching career at the University of Washington and, perhaps more importantly, into hundreds of courtrooms as an expert witness on the fallibility of eyewitness accounts. As she has explained in numerous trials, and as she convincingly argues in this absorbing book, eyewitness accounts can be and often are so distorted that they no longer resemble the truth.

Book excerpt: The conclusion of the visionary cyberpunk saga by “one of SF’s most singular talents”—a portrait of a near-future battle against a new totalitarianism (William Gibson, New York Times–bestselling author of The Peripheral). America has finally turned against the fascist Second Alliance—but Europe remains in the crosshairs of the multinational corporation’s terrifying genocidal plans. Their masterful use of media and technology to spread their hateful propaganda has positioned them to begin their final assault with little resistance—except from a band of warriors prepared to fight back from the keyboards to the killing fields. Now a new, fragile alliance is forming between two historically bitter enemies as Israeli and Muslim guerillas band together to defeat a common enemy—and save humanity from the darkness . . . “[An] apocalyptic, pop-inflected, rock-driven vision.” —William Gibson “John Shirley’s prophet-in-the-cyberwilderness voice deserves high billing among the best.” —Roger Zelazny, Nebula Award–winning author of Nine Princes in Amber

Book excerpt: In the early days of swing dancing, Frankie Manning stood out for his moves and his innovative routines; he created the "air step" in the Lindy hop, a dance that took the U.S. and then the world by storm. In this fascinating autobiography, choreographer and Tony Award winner (Black and Blue) Frankie Manning recalls how his first years of dancing as a teenager at Harlem's Savoy Ballroom led to his becoming chief choreographer and a lead dancer for "Whitey's Lindy Hoppers," a group that appeared on Broadway, in Hollywood musicals, and on stages around the globe. Manning brings the Swing Era vividly back to life with his recollections of crowded ballrooms and of Lindy hoppers trying to outdo each other in spectacular performances. His memories of the many headliners and film stars, as well as uncelebrated dancers with whom he shared the stage, create a unique portrait of an era in which African American performers enjoyed the spotlight, if not a star's prerogatives and salary. With collaborator Cynthia Millman, Manning traces the evolution of swing dancing from its early days in Harlem through the post-World War II period, until it was eclipsed by rock 'n' roll and then disco. When swing made a comeback, Manning's 30-year hiatus ended. He has been performing, choreographing, and teaching ever since.

Book excerpt: Returning Home is a time-travel romance blended with actual historical events and a macramé of intrigue and murder. Kastina Terrence is a bright and successful physical therapist. Her boyfriend, Tanner McKastner, owns three upscale restaurants. At the wedding of Tanner's younger sister, Kastina finally realizes that her relationship with Tanner is over. Lamenting the end of this relationship, she goes for a stroll in the gardens where the wedding has just taken place. She pauses at the top of a wooden bridge. Suddenly the wind picks up, and she breaks through the bridge's railing into the stream below and back to 1938 to the wedding of Tanner's grandmother. Kastina knows that an enraged desk clerk will kill his grandmother's fiancé before the wedding can take place. She experiences New York during the Depression, before television, cell phones, and DVDs, and gets to experience the hey day of radio drama, the New York World's Fair, Frank Sinatra in live performance, and other actual historical events. She meets Zachary, Tanner's great-uncle, who is an accomplished artist. She knows that Zachary will eventually die of complications from alcoholism. However, despite her best efforts, she falls in love with him. Will Kastina be able to influence Zachary enough to save him from his fate? Will she be able to prevent Tanner's grandfather from being murdered, and if she does, what will that mean for future generations of the McKastner family?

Book excerpt: Now there's a second edition of Went to See the Gypsy! Are you a Baby Boomer that still rocks? Or a fan of rock's golden era of any age? Do you remember the first vinyl record you bought? Do you still play your favorite songs two or three times in a row? Then you will enjoy Went To See the Gypsy! The title is from a Dylan song about Elvis, and it evokes the journey I've been on since the Beatles took America by storm in 1964. My friends and I were so taken by the Beatles that we made up a fake-Beatles band with tennis racket guitars and lipsynced the songs to the neighbors at a nickel a pop! And I've been following the rock gypsy caravans ever since, from the British Invasion bands on AM transistor radios, to the psychedelic revolution on FM radio, to punk rock on the left of the dial, to alternative music on CDs, and all of it over again on digital!
