Book excerpt: This richly illustrated book is the first devoted to exploring scenic Third Cliff, a magical meeting of land, river, and sea, along with its intriguing residents. It traces the transformation of seacoast Scituate from a colonial town of the 1600s into a summer destination of the 1900s, and the conversion of farmland into summer colonies. It brings the past to life.On a Cliff is the latest book from historian Lyle Nyberg, author of Summer Suffragists (2020). His work is published in the state's database of historic resources, and appeared in magazine and newspaper articles. Member of SHS, MHS, and NEHA, he brings first-hand knowledge to this book as a resident of Third Cliff."This study of a Massachusetts coastal neighborhood is a fascinating account of the emergence of late nineteenth century summer colonies, their growth, and subsequent suburban development. The depth and breadth of Lyle Nyberg's research is astounding. Local residents will appreciate this welcome addition to a neglected period of Scituate history, while scholars will value the author's insights concerning changing land use patterns."-- David T. Dixon, author of Radical Warrior: August Willich's Journey from German Revolutionary to Union General; past Trustee, Scituate Historical Society,On a Cliff "is one of the most impeccably researched works I have read in a long time . . . and it opens repeatedly on much larger issues, such as things that might have been (the canal) to the inventor of kit-built garages and cottages?. I have enjoyed it immensely."-- John R. Stilgoe, Harvard University

Book excerpt: “A perfectly paced and tautly plotted thriller…and an incredibly accomplished debut” (Paula Hawkins, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Girl on the Train and Into the Water), about a beloved high schooler found murdered in her sleepy Colorado suburb and the secret lives of three people connected to her. How can you love someone who’s done something horribly, horribly wrong? When a beloved high schooler named Lucinda Hayes is found murdered, no one in her community is untouched—not the boy who loved her too much; not the girl who wanted her perfect life; not the officer assigned to investigate her murder. In the aftermath of the tragedy, these three indelible characters—Cameron, Jade, and Russ—must each confront their darkest secrets in an effort to find solace, the truth, or both. In crystalline prose, Danya Kukafka offers a brilliant exploration of identity and of the razor-sharp line between love and obsession, between watching and seeing, between truth and memory. “A sensational debut—great characters, mysteries within mysteries, and page-turning pace. Highly recommended” (Lee Child, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Jack Reacher novels). Hailed as “Gillian Flynn of 2017” (Yahoo! Style), compulsively readable and powerfully moving, Girl in Snow is “engagingly told… its endearing characters’ struggles linger in memory after this affecting work is done” (The Wall Street Journal).

There was no mistaking what I saw.” What Mary Anning found in the cliffs in 1811, when she was 13, was the first complete fossil of an ichthyosaurus, a marine dinosaur. She hunted and sold fossils to save her family from poverty after her father died when she was 11 years old. Despite social disapproval of her unfeminine occupation, Mary persisted and became a leading fossilist who made valuable contributions to science.

Book excerpt: This action-adventure thriller, laced with terrorism and political intrigue, constructs from the latest technological and sociopolitical trends one plausible scenario resulting from a viral pandemic occurring early in the 22nd century, all seen through the microcosm of an extraordinary female-eighteen-year-old Electra Kittner. As it traces her growth, the book explores some of the timeless questions that are part of the human condition. The novel's theme reveals that no matter how extraordinary the person, anyone can be a victim in a primitive world that can't handle the truth, and must deal with the complexities of being "merely human," best handled with an optimistic and pragmatic philosophy.

Book excerpt: A lively and revealing behind-the-scenes look at the making of one of history's most controversial and influential movies, drawing on exclusive interviews with the cast and crew. “You’ve always been crazy,” says Louise to Thelma, shortly after she locks a police officer in the trunk of his car. “This is just the first chance you’ve had to express yourself.” In 1991, Thelma & Louise, the story of two outlaw women on the run from their disenchanted lives, was a revelation. Suddenly, a film in which women were, in every sense, behind the wheel. It turned the tables on Hollywood, instantly becoming a classic, and continues to electrify audiences as a cultural statement of defiance. But if the film’s place in history now seems certain, at the time its creation was a long shot. Only through sheer hard work and more than a little good luck did the script end up in the hands of the brilliant English filmmaker Ridley Scott, who saw its huge potential. With Scott on board, a team willing to challenge the odds came together—including the stars Geena Davis and Susan Sarandon and a fresh-faced up-and-coming actor named Brad Pitt, as well as legends like actor Harvey Keitel, composer Hans Zimmer, and old-school studio chief Alan Ladd Jr.—to create one of the most controversial movies of all time. But before icons like Davis and Sarandon got involved, Thelma & Louise was just an idea in the head of Callie Khouri, a thirty-year-old music video production manager, who was fed up with working behind the scenes on sleazy sets. At four a.m. one night, sitting in her car outside the ramshackle bungalow in Santa Monica that she shared with two friends, she had a vision: two women on a crime spree, fleeing their dull and tedious lives—lives like hers—in search of a freedom they had never before been able to realize. But in the late 1980s, Hollywood was dominated by men, both on the screen and behind the scenes. The likelihood of a script by an unheard-of screenwriter starring two women in lead roles actually getting made was remote. But Khouri had one thing going for her—she was so inexperienced she didn't really know she would be attempting the nigh impossible. In Off the Cliff, Becky Aikman tells the full extraordinary story behind this feminist sensation, which crashed through barricades and upended convention. Drawing on 130 exclusive interviews with the key players from this remarkable cast of actors, writers, and filmmakers, Aikman tells an inspiring and important underdog story about creativity, the magic of cinema, and the unjust obstacles that women in Hollywood continue to face to this day.

Book excerpt: "The Cliff-Dwellers" is a novel set among the skyscrapers and frenetic business culture of 1890s Chicago. It follows the life of George Ogden, a promising young man from Boston, who moves "out west" to make his fortune. He finds a job in a bank headquartered at the Clifton Building, the newest skyscraper in the city, where he soon realizes that its eighteen floors are already full with men and women who came there to achieve the same goal, often by any means. The book represents a vivid and realistic portrayal of capitalism and social climbers in Chicago, with the strong emphasis on the city itself, which is presented as a force that breaks down anyone who isn't ready to play by its merciless rules.
