All He Ever Wanted
A man escaping from a hotel fire sees a woman standing beneath a tree. He approaches her and sets in motion a series of events that will change his life forever. Years later, travelling from New England to Florida by train, he reflects back on his obsession with this unknown and ultimately unknowable woman - his courtship of her, his marriage to her, and the unforgivable act that ripped their family apart. Spanning three decades from 1899 to 1933, ALL HE EVER WANTED gives us a tale of marriage, betrayal and the search for redemption. It has the unmatched attention to details of character, place and emotion that have made Anita Shreve one of the world's best-loved and bestselling novelists.

Terrorism: A Very Short Introduction
This book charts a path through the outpouring of efforts to understand and explain modern terrorism, by asking what makes terrorism different from other forms of political, military action, what makes it effective, and what can be done about it. It unravels complex central questions such as whether terrorists are criminals, whether terrorism is a kind of war, what kind of threat terrorism represents, how far media publicity sustains terrorism, and whether democracy is especially vulnerable to terrorist attack. It examines the historical ideological and local roots of terrorist violence, and the success of specific terrorist and anti-terrorist campaigns in the more distant as well as the recent past.

The French Revolution: A Very Short Introduction
Beginning with a discussion of familiar images of the French Revolution, garnered from Dickens, Baroness Orczy, and Tolstoy, as well as the legends of let them eat cake, and tricolours, Doyle leads the reader to the realization that we are still living with developments and consequences of the French Revolution such as decimalization, and the whole ideology of human rights. Continuing with a brief survey of the old regime and how it collapsed, Doyle continues to ellucidate how the revolution happened: why did the revolutionaries quarrel with the king, the church and the rest of Europe, why this produced Terror, and finally how it accomplished rule by a general. The revolution destroyed the age-old cultural, institutional and social structures in France and beyond. This book looks at how the ancien regime became ancien as well as examining cases in which achievement failed to match ambition. Doyle explores the legacy of the revolution in the form of rationality in public affairs and responsible government, and finishes his examination of the revolution with a discussion as to why it has been so controversial.

Abstract America
The twentieth anniversary of the Saatchi Gallery was celebrated in 2005 with "The Triumph of Painting", a landmark exhibition. The show presented painting as a fundamental root of artistic expression. It demonstrated how in an age of endless artistic possibilities painting remained a primary medium. The influences of photography, cinema and fashion were all reflected in the work of the new European painters. Especially influential was the work of a generation of German artists who had grown up in a post-war and divided nation.The book accompanying the exhibition, the first publication to make the disparate currents of the new painting coherent, was soon out of print. "The Triumph of Painting" has been expanded into an ongoing project and to mark the opening of the gallery's new and largest exhibition space in London two new definitive volumes are being published. The first, Germania, will present the German tradition beginning with the work of the dominant figures Martin Kippenberger and Jorg Immendorff and extended to the new generation, including radical work from the Leipzig school. The second volume will be devoted entirely to the new American abstract painters, few of whom appeared in the original "Triumph of Painting" book. "The Triumph of Painting" will continue with further volumes coinciding with future exhibitions to establish the most authoritative and comprehensive survey of new painting.

Germania
The very title Germania suggests an empire of ruin, a dream of Albert Speer, or the land of some barbaric tribe, suitable for taming. It carries an historical echo. The postwar generation of German artists who had lived through the nation's recovery from defeat - Anselm Kiefer, George Baselitz and Martin Kippenberger - have now given way to a generation who have experienced the consequences of the reunification of 1989. The capital of Germania is Berlin, but its frontiers extend to Leipzig and Dresden, former cities of the East. Germany exists within the European Union, but Germania stretches past political frontiers. The reinvention of history is one of the characteristics of the new art and the new generation. The happenings of the past can be re-enacted. The ghosts of Brecht or Dada can be reinvigorated. But the medium of the Internet provides a different platform to that afforded by artistic predecessors. 'The new generation of Germania', writes Max Henry in his introduction, 'can discard the chronology of their influences. They can incorporate sound and music, self-publish their theoretical literature, display archival ephemera, curate and collaborate, and ultimately seize all available means to propagate their view.' Such opportunities have stimulated the emergence of the most vibrant artistic language. Film, theatre, television, collage and kitsch provide the raw influences, but at the centre of Germania lies a core of expressionist painting, embodied in the dense surfaces of Andre Butzer. Out of this seeming chaos Germania leaves anarchic traces. These are the signs of life embedded at the heart of this stark empire. Germania is a further title in the series Jonathan Cape is publishing in conjunction with the exhibition programme of the new Saatchi Gallery in London.

Vitamin 3-D
While much of the artistic innovation of the last two decades centred on the image, today the greatest strides are being taken in three dimensions. Contemporary art maintains an ongoing fascination with the key issues of modern sculpture, from the readymade to the specific object, and artists today are returning to them again and again, with fresh and often surprising results. At the same time, artists are striking out into new territory, harnessing the medium to confront today's commodity world in its own materials, from the Latin American junk assemblage of Marepe, Gabriel Kuri and Abraham Cruzvillegas to the wittily reworked objects of Peter Coffin, Tom Friedman and Allora & Calzadilla. Even before Rosalind's Krauss's landmark 1979 essay "Sculpture in the Expanded Field" the distinction between sculpture and its environment had already begun to dissolve. Today artists demolish the classical definition of sculpture - 'not architecture and not landscape' - in such works as Jorge Pardo's houses, Mike Nelson's labyrinthian interiors and Fischli and Weiss's garden plots. And if in the years leading up to Minimalism sculpture absorbed its pedestal, it has now spread across the floor, hung from the rafters and even swallowed the whole building. Although "Vitamin 3-D" will exclude film and video installations, it will be open to all other forms of sculpture and installation, including kinetic sculpture (Urs Fischer's untitled spinning branch chandeliers, Olafur Eliasson's "Reversed Waterfall"), paintings that have left the wall (Chris Johanson's multicoloured wood constructions, Aaron Curry's spray-painted cardboard panels), and even a few completely dematerialized works (Jeppe Hein's "Invisible Labyrinth", Martin Creed's "The Lights Going On and Off").

Paradies
Zwei brutale Morde im Stockholmer Freihafen, und schon laufen die Recherchen des "Abendblatts" auf Hochtouren. Natürlich nicht ohne Annika Bengtzon, Jung-Journalistin in der Nachtschicht, neugierig, bohrend, nicht locker lassend. Mafia? Drogenhandel? Skrupellose Machtspiele in Unterweltkreisen? Es geht schon ein wenig durcheinander mit den in Deutschland veröffentlichten und überaus schnell populär gewordenen Marklund-Romanen. Ist die Journalistin Bengtzon in Studio 6 zunächst nur als Aushilfe beschäftigt, in Olympisches Feuer aber bereits Mutter und routinierte Berichterstatterin, so erfahren ihre Fans im neuen Roman Paradies die fehlende Liebesgeschichte, die nicht zu kurz kommt neben Mord, Verbrechen und den dazugehörigen Schlagzeilen. Die flippige, unangepasste Annika Bengtzon kommt dunklen Machenschaften, die ins alte Jugoslawien führen, auf die Spur, erfährt von einer Organisation, die als gemeinnützige Stiftung angeblich verfolgten Menschen eine neue Identität gibt und altes Leben auslöscht, das Paradies. Alle Fassetten dieses flotten und atmosphärischen Krimis sprudeln seiner Autorin nur so aus der Feder und schaffen lebendige Situationen, in denen man gleichsam dabei gewesen zu sein scheint. Was die internationale Mafiaszene angeht, die Machenschaften von Dealern und Schmugglern, die Drähte und Spannweiten der Geheimdienste: Liza Marklund ist bestens präpariert, hat gut, breit angelegt, aber nicht verwirrend recherchiert. So werden Geschehen und Zusammenhänge bis auf ganz wenige Ausnahmen glaubhaft dargestellt. Lockere, schlagfertige Dialoge schaffen temporeiche Situationen und runden die fiktive Story in ihrer Spannung gekonnt und stolperfrei ab. --Barbara Wegmann
