TITLE: A Short History of Nearly Everything

AUTHORS: Bill Bryson

PRICE: SOLD

DESCRIPTION: Bill Bryson describes himself as a reluctant traveller, but even when he stays safely at home he can't contain his curiosity about the world around him. A Short History of Nearly Everything is his quest to understand everything that has happened from the Big Bang to the rise of civilization - how we got from there, being nothing at all, to here, being us. Bill Bryson's challenge is to take subjects that normally bore the pants off most of us, like geology, chemistry and particle physics, and see if there isn't some way to render them comprehensible to people who have never thought they could be interested in science.

The ultimate eye-opening journey through time and space, A Short History of Nearly Everything is the biggest-selling popular science book of the 21st century, and reveals the world in a way most of us have never seen it before.

TITLE: FREEDOM BY JONATHAN FRANZEN

AUTHORS: Jonathan Franzen

DESCRIPTION: #1 National Bestseller

Winner of the John Gardner Fiction Award

A National Book Critics Circle Award Finalist

A Los Angeles Times Book Prize Finalist

In his first novel since The Corrections, Jonathan Franzen has given us an epic of contemporary love and marriage. Freedom comically and tragically captures the temptations and burdens of liberty: the thrills of teenage lust, the shaken compromises of middle age, the wages of suburban sprawl, the heavy weight of empire. In charting the mistakes and joys of Walter and Patty Berglund as they struggle to learn how to live in an ever more confusing world, Franzen has produced an indelible and deeply moving portrait of our time.

TITLE: The Memoirs of Margaret S. Mahler

AUTHORS: Margaret S. Mahler

DESCRIPTION: A brilliant and influential figure among contemporary psychoanalysis, Margaret Mahler revolutionized our understanding of the first years of life. In her classic study, The Psychological Birth of the Human Infant, Mahler, drawing on several decades of research, expounded the separation-individuation process through which the child separates from its mother and comes to experience a sense of individuality and autonomy.

Now, three years after Mahler's death at age 88, historian Paul Stepansky has sensitively compiled and edited the surprisingly candid memoirs that this imposing woman began writing with him during her last years.

Mahler describes bourgeois life in the Hungarian village of her childhood, with her resentful mother, protective father, and beautiful younger sister. She recreates her days as a student and physician, from the Kovacs salon in pre-World War I Budapest, to the leading medical facilities in Germany, to Freud's Vienna where she practiced pediatrics and studied psychoanalysis. Interspersed with these reminiscences are revealing assessments of her eminent teachers and colleagues, including Sandor Ferenczi, Anna Freud, August Aichhorn, and Helene Deutsch. Finally, Mahler recalls her emigration from Austria in 1938 and subsequent life in America, where she achieved international prominence as a teacher, researcher, and clinician.

Over the course of her eventful life, Mahler fought to break free from painful family circumstances, from the provincial conventions of her youth, and from the stifling sexism and anti-Semitism of the professional community in Europe between the two world wars. A moving record of these successive struggles, Mahler's memoirs illustrate her determination to achieve personal autonomy and professional identity - a quest with fascinating parallels to the process of separation-individuation process through which the child separates from its mother and comes to experience a sense of individuality and autonomy.
