New Scholarly Titles

The Future of Nostalgia
by Svetlana Boym

In tracing the history of nostalgia, Svetlana Boym has achieved nothing less than a new area of inquiry -- the identification of a new aesthetic: the study of nostalgia. She argues that nostalgia is not merely a yearning for a place of home or homeland, but also a longing for another time, the time of our childhood or of a distant historical epoque which allowed for longing and day-dreaming. Combining philosophical essay, aesthetic analysis and personal memoir, Boym explores the spaces of collective nostalgia, national myths and the personal stories of exiles.

The Art of Possibility
by Rosamund Stone Zander and Benjamin Zander

The Art of Possibility offers a set of breakthrough practices for creativity in all human enterprises. This inspirational book is a synthesis of Rosamund Stone Zander's knowledge of cutting-edge psychology and Benjamin Zander's experiences as the conductor of the Boston Philharmonic Orchestra.

Benjamin Zander will be the guest at the upcoming May 16 Competitive Advantage Event.

New in Fiction:

The Love-Artist
by Jane Alison

Jane Alison has constructed a wonderfully seductive first novel, a novel that shimmers with the musical artifice of Ovid's poetry while evoking the darker tragedies of his life.
