Authors on today’s
Leonard Lopate Show:
Martha McPhee counted Dear Money (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 978-0151011650, $25; Blackstone Audio unabridged CD, $29.95), which goes on sale today. PW found it “a middling tweak of a familiar story, though a fitting one for these times of shattered money dreams.”
Journalist Kathryn Schulz discussed Being Wrong: Adventures in the Margin of Error (Ecco, 978-0061176043, $26.99), which pubs next week. PW’s starred review declared “Schulz writes with such lucidity and wit that her philosophical enquiry becomes a page-turner. There's heavy stuff here, but no heavy-handedness.”
On today’s Diane Rehm Show, Juliet B. Schor explained Plenitude: The New Economics of True Wealth (Penguin, 978-1594202544, $25.95; Tantor unabridged CD, $29.99). PW thought “It might be utopian, but it's also fresh, persuasive, and passionately argued, speaking to the individual and the collective.”
On The Brian Lehrer Show, golf legend Gary Player talked about his new book Don't Choke: A Champion's Guide to Winning Under Pressure (Skyhorse Publishing, 978-1616080389, $19.95).
The Bob Edwards Show hosted journalist and family man Peter Lovenheim, author of In The Neighborhood: The Search for Community on an American Street, One Sleepover at a Time (Perigee, 978-0399535710, $23.95). PW called it “a smart, from-the-front-lines update on Robert Putnam's suburban-alienation expose Bowling Alone, taking a personal look at what Americans tend to lose by ‘going about their lives largely detached from those living around them.’”
The Harvest Show talked with J. Lee Grady, author of The Holy Spirit Is Not for Sale: Rekindling the Power of God in an Age of Compromise (Chosen, 978-0800794873, $14.99).
Tonight on Tavis Smiley, pioneering advertising executive Tom Burrell discusses his book Brainwashed: Challenging the Myth of Black Inferiority (Smiley Books, 978-1401925925, $15.95).
