The Age of Wood

Mankind's Most Useful Material and the Construction of Civilization By Roland Ennos Read by Dennis Boutsikaris

A groundbreaking examination of the role that wood and trees have played in our global ecosystem—including human evolution and the rise and fall of empires “An excellent, thorough history in an age of our increasingly fraught relationships with natural resources.”

—Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

“This expansive history will give readers a newfound appreciation.”

—Publishers Weekly

As the dominant species on Earth, humans have made astonishing progress since our ancestors came down from the trees. But how did the descendants of small primates manage to walk upright, become top predators, and populate the world? How were humans able to develop civilizations and produce a globalized economy? Now Roland Ennos shows for the rst time that the key to our success has been our relationship with wood.

Brilliantly synthesizing recent research with existing knowledge in elds as wide-ranging as primatology to carpentry, Ennos reinterprets human history and shows how our ability to exploit wood’s unique properties has profoundly shaped our bodies and minds, societies, and lives. He takes us on a sweeping ten-million-year journey from Southeast Asia and West Africa where great apes swing among the trees, to East Africa where hunter gatherers collected their food; to the structural design of wooden temples in China and Japan; and to Northern England, where coal enabled humans to build an industrial world.

Addressing the effects of industrialization—including the use of fossil fuels and other energy-intensive materials to replace timber—Ennos also argues that, for the benet of our planet, we must return to more traditional ways of growing, using, and understanding trees.

A winning blend of history and science, this is a fascinating and authoritative work for anyone interested in nature, the environment, and the making of the world as we know it. ROLAND ENNOS is a visiting professor of biological sciences at the University of Hull in Yorkshire, England. He is the author of successful textbooks on plants, biomechanics, and statistics.

From Hang Time to Prime Time

Business, Entertainment, and the Birth of the Modern-Day NBA By Pete Croatto Read by Feodor Chin

Perfect for fans of Moneyball and The Book of Basketball, this vivid, thoroughly entertaining, and well-researched book explores the NBA’s surge in popularity in the 1970s and 1980s and its transformation into a global cultural institution. “Any fan of the game would do well to pick this up—it’s a slam dunk.”

—Publishers Weekly (starred review) “Thanks to Pete Croatto’s brilliant work, the rise of the league…is brought forth in full color, with zest and passion and oomph. It’s outstanding.”

—Jeff Pearlman, author of Showtime on From Hang Time to Prime Time

Far beyond simply being a sports league, the NBA has become an entertainment and pop culture juggernaut. From all kinds of team logo merchandise to officially branded video games and players crossing over into reality television, lm, fashion lines, and more, there is an inseparable line between sports and entertainment. But only four decades ago, this would have been unthinkable.

Featuring writing that leaps off the page with energy and wit, journalist and basketball fan Pete Croatto takes us behind the scenes to the meetings that lead to the monumental American Basketball Association–National Basketball Association merger in 1976, revolutionizing the NBA’s image. He pays homage to legendary talents including Julius “Dr. J” Erving, Magic Johnson, and Michael Jordan and reveals how two polar-opposite rookies, Larry Bird and Magic Johnson, led game attendance to skyrocket and racial lines to dissolve. Croatto also dives into CBS’s personality-driven coverage of key players, as well as other cable television efforts, which launched NBA players into unprecedented celebrity status.

Essential reading whether you’re a casual or longtime fan, From Hang Time to Prime Time is an enthralling and entertaining celebration of basketball history. PETE CROATTO’S writing has appeared in many outlets, including The New York Times, Columbia Journalism Review, Rolling Stone, and more. He lives just outside Ithaca, New York, with his wife, daughter, and a basketball hoop in the driveway. MARKETING

The New Honor Code

A Simple Plan for Raising Our Standards and Restoring Our Good Name By Grant McCracken

Most Americans share basic standards of decency. And yet, we’re becoming inured to scandal and shame, and hopeless about the possibility of change. Grant McCracken has a solution—the revival of honor. Once the moral compass of millions, it has since fallen out of currency just when we need it the most. Grant looks at honor and dishonor as these are expressed in popular culture and at institutions as diverse as Harvard, PBS, and Wells Fargo. He offers guidelines for those hoping to restore moral order to their lives.

“Fascinating and provocative.”

—Publishers Weekly on Culturematic
