AUTHORS & TITLES

Jason Bell, Ph.D. is a professor of philosophy at the University of New Brunswick, Canada. He has served as Fulbright Professor in Germany (at Göttingen, Winthrop Bell’s alma mater), and has taught at universities in Belgium, the United States, and Canada. He was the first scholar granted exclusive access to Winthrop Pickard Bell’s classified espionage papers.

Praise for Cracking the Nazi Code

“This book is a significant and timely achievement, and the author should be commended for bringing to colorful life the story of the courageous, intelligent, and infinitely interesting Winthrop Bell, a man whose name should always be registered in the first rank of heroic freedom-fighters and who, as the author points how, cracked not only the Nazi code but the peace code as well. **A masterful profile of a significant historical figure.”**

—Starred in Kirkus Reviews

“Brilliantly researched, Cracking the Nazi Code upends our conventional, often inaccurate, understanding of the Nazis’ rise to power after World War I. It took **the stunning intelligence work of Winthrop Bell, a Canadian spy working for MI6 in Germany,** to decipher what was really going on. How did Hitler, an insignificant minion, manage to slip up the ladder of power? How wide ranging was his genocidal intent? As Bell pursues the truth, the twists and turns of his life are fascinating. We come away with a deep respect for intelligence work at its finest. A page-turner, one of those books not to be missed.”

—Rosemary Sullivan, author of Stalin’s Daughter:

The Extraordinary and Tumultuous Life of Svetlana Alliluyeva

“Written with uncommon verve, wonderful detail, and deep insight gained from previously inaccessible archival records, Cracking the Nazi Code reveals the key spy work of Anglo-Canadian Winthrop Bell. His secret fieldwork in war-torn Germany and Western Europe in the aftermath of the Great War, revealed insurrection, revolution, and the rise of the vile ideology that would underpin the Nazi party. Bell’s dangerous missions saved countless lives, supported battered democratic regimes, and provided his British spymasters and Canadian political leaders with crucial information to avert disaster. Cracking the Nazi Code reminds us of the fragility of nations in the aftermath of war and how easily they can slide into chaos as demagogues prey upon the vulnerable, helpless, and hopeless.”

—Tim Cook, author of Vimy: The Battle and the Legend

“If you think you know everything about World War II, you need this book. Jason Bell’s account of how a philosophy professor alerted world leaders to the true threat of the rising Nazi movement is a first-rate spy story. Cracking the Nazi Code takes you along on one man’s dangerous quest to discover the truth and convince world leaders of perils to come.”

—Gregory A. Freeman, author of The Forgotten 500: The Untold Story of the Men Who Risked All for the Greatest Rescue Mission of World War II

"I love books that promise "untold stories". This one does, and it delivers. Who knew that a Canadian was the first to warn the world what the Nazis were up to, and to do it years before anyone else was even talking about Nazis? Winthrop Bell is a name you should know, and thanks to Jason Bell and his deep dive research, you now will."

—Peter Mansbridge, former Chief Correspondent for CBC News and anchor of The National, CBC Television's flagship nightly newscast, and former host of CBC News Network's Mansbridge One on One.

“Move over William Stephenson. It turns out "the Man Called Intrepid” wasn't Canada's only WWII master spy. In this fascinating first-ever biography of Winthrop Bell, Jason Bell introduces readers to the shadowy one-time Harvard-philosophy-professor-turned-secret-agent who became one of Nazi Germany’s biggest enemies.”

—Ken Cuthbertson, author of The Halifax Explosion, 1945: The Year That Made Modern Canada, and Blood on the Coal: The True Story of the Great Springhill Mine Disaster

“An amazing book… Bell was a harbinger of fate, a prophet in his times, a man who understood the realities of post-war Europe better than most European leaders.”

—Michael Bar-Zohar, Israeli historian, novelist, and member of the Knesset on behalf of the Alignment and Labor Party in the 1980s and early 1990s

Dennard Dayle is a New York-based superpredator, specializing in writing, comedy, and illegal pranks. He studied “liking books” at Princeton and Columbia, where he spoke a great deal and learned very little. He runs the website See More Evil and co-hosts the anime podcast Weeaboo Hell. 

“I had no idea that writing this playful, this prescient, this radiant, this anansi could exist. If you want a glimpse at the future of literature look no further than Dennard Dayle. Books this good come around once a generation if we’re lucky and with Everything Abridged we are very lucky indeed.”

– Junot Diaz, New York Times bestselling and Pulitzer Prize-winning author of

The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao

“Slyly defiant and blazingly imaginative, like the best modernist literature, Everything Abridged is a powerful celebration of flaw and failure. It’s a book that revels in the timelessness of obsolescence and the freedom of powerlessness. Dayle’s a genre-shattering writer, whose wit and intellect never cease to entertain. This refreshingly original and powerfully funny collection is a debut to remember.”

– Paul Beatty, New York Times bestselling and Booker Prize-winning author of The Sellout

“Everything Abridged: Stories by Dennard Dayle:

1. Miscategorized. Calling this addictively book-shaped act of language subversion ‘stories’ is like calling New York City ‘buildings’

2. The nonstandard reference to all sorts of things it would have been disturbing to learn if you hadn’t been laughing so hard

3. Herald of a major new talent–what more do you need to know? Why aren’t you reading it yet?”

   – Susan Choi, National Book Award-winning author of Trust Exercise

“With Everything Abridged, Dennard Dayle innovates form as much as he does content, creating a work that is funny and familiar, no matter if he’s writing about comedians from Mars, battery-powered humans, or radicalized comic book writers. Combining wit, humor, and an uncanny ability to get to the heart of what can both plague and save us, Dayle is a writer who isn’t ruffling feathers, but plucking the bird bare, and I am grateful as hell for it. Without a doubt one of the best collections I’ve ever read.”

– Mateo Askaripour, New York Times bestselling author of Black Buck

“This is one of the most useful books on the current American berzerk that I have read in a long time. Kudos, Dennard. You said what we were all trying to say while we were very (angrily) chewing on our kale salads.”

– Gary Shteyngart, New York Times bestselling author of Super Sad True Love Story

“Funnier and smarter than pretty much everything else you’ve read in your lifetime.”

– Rivka Galchen, author of Atmospheric Disturbances and Everyone Knows Your Mother Is a Witch

“Dayle has broken every rule to create a rollicking satire skewering American hypocrisy. A short story collection that artfully manages to be part dictionary and part joke book, Everything Abridged is a must-read for anyone who still believes humor is the fast track to truth.”

– Jessi Jezewska Stevens, author of The Exhibition of Persephone Q and The Visitors

Gabe Henry is a New York-based writer, editor, and former manager of the Brooklyn comedy venue Littlefield. He published his first book, What the Fact?! 365 Strange Days in History (Chronicle Books), in 2018.

Ray Kurzweil is one of the world’s leading inventors, thinkers, and futurists, with a thirty-year track record of accurate predictions. Called "the restless genius" by The Wall Street Journal and "the ultimate thinking machine" by Forbes magazine, he was selected as one of the top entrepreneurs by Inc. magazine, which described him as the "rightful heir to Thomas Edison." PBS selected him as one of the "sixteen revolutionaries who made America." Ray was the principal inventor of the first CCD flat-bed scanner, the first omni-font optical character recognition, the first print-to-speech reading machine for the blind, the first text-to-speech synthesizer, the first music synthesizer capable of recreating the grand piano and other orchestral instruments, and the first commercially marketed large-vocabulary speech recognition. Among Ray’s many honors, he received a Grammy Award for outstanding achievements in music technology; he is the recipient of the National Medal of Technology, was inducted into the National Inventors Hall of Fame, holds twenty-one honorary Doctorates, and honors from three U.S. presidents. Ray has written five national best-selling books, including New York Times best sellers The Singularity Is Near (2005) and How To Create A Mind (2012). He is Co-Founder and Chancellor of Singularity University and a Director of Engineering at Google heading up a team developing machine intelligence and natural language understanding.

Since it was first published in 2005, Ray Kurzweil's The Singularity Is Near and its vision of an exponential future have been influential in spawning a worldwide movement with millions of followers, hundreds of books, major films (Her, Lucy, Ex Machina), and thousands of articles. During the succeeding decade many of Kurzweil's predictions about technological advancements have been borne out, and their viability has become familiar to the public through such now commonplace concepts as AI, intelligent machines, and biotechnology.

In this entirely new book Ray Kurzweil brings a fresh perspective to advances toward the Singularity—assessing his 1999 prediction that AI will reach human level intelligence by 2029 and examining the exponential growth of technology—that, in the near future, will expand human intelligence a millionfold and change human life forever. Among the topics he discusses are rebuilding the world, atom by atom with devices like nanobots; radical life extension beyond the current age limit of 120; reinventing intelligence by connecting our brains to the cloud; how  exponential technologies are propelling innovation forward in all industries and improving all aspects of our well-being such as declining poverty and violence; and the growth of renewable energy and 3-D printing, which can be applied to everything from clothes to building materials to growing human organs. He also considers the potential perils of biotechnology, nanotechnology, and artificial intelligence, including such topics of current controversy as how AI will impact employment and the safety of autonomous cars, and "After Life" technology, which will reanimate people who have passed away through a combination of data and DNA.

Ray Kurzweil is arguably today’s most influential—and often controversial—futurist. In How to Create a Mind, Kurzweil presents a provocative exploration of the most important project in human-machine civilization—reverse engineering the brain to understand precisely how it works and using that knowledge to create even more intelligent machines.

Kurzweil discusses how the brain functions, how the mind emerges from the brain, and the implications of vastly increasing the powers of our intelligence in addressing the world’s problems. He thoughtfully examines emotional and moral intelligence and the origins of consciousness and envisions the radical possibilities of our merging with the intelligent technology we are creating.

One of the most widely discussed and debated science books of its time, How to Create a Mind took its place alongside Kurzweil’s previous classics which include Fantastic Voyage: Live Long Enough to Live Forever and The Age of Spiritual Machines.

With today's mind-bending array of scientific knowledge, it is possible to prevent nearly 90% of the maladies that kill us, including heart disease, cancer, diabetes, kidney disease, and liver disease. Ray Kurzweil and Terry Grossman start the reader on a fantastic journey to undreamed-of vitality with a comprehensive investigation into the cutting-edge science on diet, metabolism, genetics, toxins and detoxification, the hormones involved with aging and youth, exercise, stress reduction, and more. By following their program, which includes such simple recommendations as drinking alkaline water and taking specific nutritional supplements to enhance your immune system and slow the aging process on a cellular level, anyone will be able to immediately add years of healthy, active living to his life.

A CHRONICLE OF IDEAS:  A Guide for Superheroines (and Superheroes)

WordFire Rights—UK, 1st Serial

Ray Kurzweil, legendary inventor and author of New York Times bestsellers The Singularity Is Near and How to Create a Mind, has created inventions and ideas that have changed human civilization. PBS called him “One of the revolutionaries who made America”, and Inc. magazine named him “Edison’s rightful heir.”
 
Now Kurzweil has created a novel, and an unforgettable character —Danielle — to help convey some of his most important ideas. Danielle: Chronicle of a Superheroine, tells the story of a precocious young girl who uses her intelligence and accelerating technology to solve humanity's grandest challenges. Now if only we can find more courageous visionaries like Danielle.
 
Written as an alternative history, Danielle’s journey as a driven young girl brings her face to face with many important figures from recent history and our modern world. Told through the eyes of Danielle’s equally remarkable sister Claire, a girl adopted from Haiti after surviving the earthquake, this story shows all readers a hopeful vision of humanity’s future—and how to achieve it.  
 
The novel features 24 graphic novel style illustrations, one for each year of Danielle’s life, by New Yorker cartoonist and Ray’s daughter, Amy Kurzweil (author of Flying Couch: A Graphic Memoir, a New York Times Editor's Pick and Best of 2016).
 
Accompanying the novel are two nonfiction companion books by the author which is a literary first. How You Can Be a Danielle is a call to action, providing pragmatic, thought-provoking and clear guidance on how readers can be inspired to emulate Danielle and help bring about a better world. A Chronicle of Ideas: A Guide for Superheroines (and Superheroes) provides Kurzweil’s – and Danielle’s – unique spin on 282 concepts presented in the novel.

Nicholas Ayars “Nick” Lore is a social scientist specializing in career design methodology and multiple intelligences, author, and the founder of the Rockport Institute. His methodology includes a system of step-by-step inquiry during which people achieve certainty about their unique expression of those key elements. This methodology also includes a suite of tools and inquiries to deal with the doubts, fears and uncertainties that arise. A central concept of his work states that too many people concentrate their career goals on extrinsic rewards such as high salary and prestige and unnecessarily sacrifice intrinsic values such as job satisfaction. He asserts that a well-chosen career will provide both. Lore founded the Rockport Institute in 1981. The Rockport Institute performs testing on clients to identify personality traits, personal values and talents, from which customized career suggestions are then based upon. His Rockport career design methodology asserts that traditional prescriptive career counseling, in which a client takes a personality and interest test, and is then supplied with a list of suitable jobs leaves out many factors crucial to career success and fulfillment. His answer was to develop "career design coaching," later called simply "career coaching.”

Monica Rose worked alongside Nick Lore for 12 years, running Rockport Institute, developing programs, and coaching clients. Monica has an additional fifteen years of professional experience in both the profit and not-for-profit world. In addition to Career Coaching, she coached and helped produce leadership programs for a global adult education company for over 10 years and worked as the Content Expert designing and writing an online career planning program called Future Plans, now part of the state of Florida’s Public High Schools’ curricula. Well over 100,000 students have gone through that program.

BUILDING LOVE THAT LASTS - Wondrium/The Great Courses - A 12-Part/6-Hour Online Course Based on the Authors’ Book HAPPY TOGETHER - Available Now

Have you ever been in love?

Falling in love is one of the easiest things in the world. The difficult part often comes later, when you're trying to stay in love. It has been estimated that nearly half of all marriages in the United States end in divorce. As it turns out, failing in love is just as easy as falling in love.

With so many stories of "happily ever after" inundating our culture, many of us have accepted the idea—from a very young age—that our primary goal in life is to find our perfect partner or soulmate, with our very own fairy-tale ending guaranteed to follow.

The value we place on idealized lifelong relationships permeates our society and creates expectations that a good start is all we need for a fulfilling relationship. But think about it: In other important life ventures such as our career or health and fitness, we understand that to succeed, we must continue to put in the time and effort over the long term. We seek further education, find mentors and trainers, and buy gym memberships. Why do we think that building a lasting, loving relationship is any different?

In Building Love That Lasts, you will access a treasure trove of secrets to sustaining healthy relationships in 12 inspirational lessons led by a married couple who specialize in positive psychology. Suzann Pileggi Pawelski is a writer, consultant, and positive psychology expert. Her husband, Professor James Pawelski, is the cofounder and director of the world's first degree program in positive psychology at the University of Pennsylvania. And while their focus is on romantic relationships, the research Suzie and James share is applicable to relationships of all kinds—including with family, friends, and work colleagues.

He was a finalist for the 2021 Miami Book Fair Emerging Writer Fellowship for A BRUTAL DESIGN. His short fiction has appeared in New World Writing, Green Mountains Review, JewishFiction.net, Crack the Spine, and Foliate Oak.  He lives in the Hudson Valley of New York with his wife, the novelist Mandy Berman, and their daughter

From its opening sentence, A BRUTAL DESIGN’s narrative is disorienting, ominous, and enigmatic. Its spare and urgent prose transports readers to a city with familiar contours, but with its own twisted, alien logic.  As its breathless plot ratchets up the tension, Zelnik is inexorably driven toward a fate he can’t imagine or control, culminating in a frantic and shattering conclusion that offers a stark warning - art can liberate the human spirit, or it can become the artifice that makes us complicit in our own oppression. Treading the line between speculative SF and upmarket lit, A BRUTAL DESIGN presents a dark take on the classic refugee’s story imbued with the paranoia of 1984 and the existential dread of The Stranger. 

MARIAH STEWART’s nearly fifty novels in print have sold over 6,500,000 copies to date with 26 landing on the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and USA Today bestseller lists.

GEORGE WEIGEL, Distinguished Senior Fellow of the Ethics and Public Policy Center, is a Catholic theologian and one of America’s leading public intellectuals. He holds EPPC’s William E. Simon Chair in Catholic Studies.  From 1989 through June 1996, Mr. Weigel was president of the Ethics and Public Policy Center, where he led a wide-ranging, ecumenical and inter-religious program of research and publication on foreign and domestic policy issues.  Mr. Weigel is perhaps best known for his widely translated and internationally acclaimed two-volume biography of Pope St. John Paul II: the New York Times bestseller, Witness to Hope (1999), and its sequel, The End and the Beginning (2010). In 2017, Weigel published a memoir of the experiences that led to his papal biography: Lessons in Hope — My Unexpected Life with St. John Paul II.  George Weigel is the author of more than twenty other books, including The Cube and the Cathedral: Europe, America, and Politics Without God (2005); Evangelical Catholicism: Deep Reform in the 21st-Century Church (2013); Roman Pilgrimage: The Station Churches (2013); Letters to a Young Catholic (2015); and The Fragility of Order: Catholic Reflections on Turbulent Times (2018). His essays, op-ed columns, and reviews appear regularly in major opinion journals and newspapers across the United States. A frequent guest on television and radio, he is also Senior Vatican Analyst for NBC News. His weekly column, “The Catholic Difference,” is syndicated to eighty-five newspapers and magazines in seven countries.  Mr. Weigel received a B.A. from St. Mary’s Seminary and University in Baltimore and an M.A. from the University of St. Michael’s College, Toronto. He is the recipient of eighteen honorary doctorates in fields including divinity, philosophy, law, and social science, and has been awarded the Papal Cross Pro Ecclesia et Pontifice, Poland’s Gloria Artis Gold Medal, and Lithuania’s Diplomacy Star.

Written with verve, insight, and an appreciation for the consequential lives that have touched his own, Not Forgotten fills out the autobiographical portrait that George Weigel began painting in Lessons in Hope: My Unexpected Life with Saint John Paul II, while offering a backstage view of some of the men and women who have shaped the turbulent history of our times. 

The 60 intriguing lives that he writes about are a wide diversity of unique characters and personalities, including Albert Einstein, William F. Buckley, Flannery O'Connor, Franz Jägerstätter, John Paul II, Jackie Robinson, Charles Krauthammer, Sophie Scholl, Henry Hyde, James Schall, S.J., Dietrich Von Hildebrand, Charles Colson, Fr Richard J. Neuhaus and many more.

Drawing on his personal discussions with John Paul II, Benedict XVI, and Francis, as well as his decades of experience with Catholics from every continent, George Weigel examines the major challenges confronting the Catholic Church and its 1.3 billion believers in the twenty-first century: challenges the next pontificate must address as the Church enters new, uncharted territory. To what is the Holy Spirit calling this Church-in-transition? What are the qualities needed in the man who will lead the Church from the Chair of Saint Peter?

Taking lessons from the pontificates of John Paul II, Benedict XVI, and Francis, George Weigel proposes  what the Catholic leaders of the future, especially the next pope, must do to remain faithful to the Holy Spirit's summons to renewed evangelical witness, intensified missionary fervor, and Christ-centered reform in the wake of grave institutional failures, mission confusion, counter-witness, and the secularist challenge to biblical faith.
