NOW IN PAPERBACK--with a new preface by the author

An insider's account of why the CIA is ill-prepared to protect America, and why it must be replaced without delay

*

"A devastating portrait of the agency's culture--with details that only an insider would know."
--David Ignatius, Washington Post columnist and author of Body of Lies

"Faddis, a career CIA operations officer, pulls no punches in this provocative critique of the iconic and dysfunctional spy agency. . . . In a world where threats are multiplying and becoming more complex, [his] bleak assessment of the CIA should be required reading."

--Publishers Weekly (starred review)

In Beyond Repair, one of the Central Intelligence Agency's most respected former operatives mounts a scathing cri­tique of the preparedness of today's CIA--and, spe­cifically, the Directorate of Operations at its core--to defend America against the dizzying dangers of the twenty-first century. In a compelling blend of analy­sis and fascinating true-life stories, Charles S. Faddis argues that the CIA has devolved into a low-risk or, often, no-risk bureaucracy of careerists whose mantra might be summed up thus: "Don't fall." He discusses the birth of the CIA, how the agency works from the inside out, why things have gone awry--and how to build a new entity that will maintain the midnight watch, so Americans can sleep well at night.

Real leaders aren't born-they're built. Under pressure. Through pain. In private.

This stunningly illustrated picture book biography from an acclaimed author and bestselling, award-winning artist paints an epic portrait of one of the most influential American presidents.

From the time he was a young boy roaming the forests of the remote Midwest, Abraham Lincoln knew in his heart that slavery was deeply wrong. A voracious reader, Lincoln spent every spare moment of his days filling his mind with knowledge, from history to literature to mathematics, preparing himself to one day lead the country he loved towards greater equality and prosperity for all people. Despite the obstacles he faced as a self-educated man from the back woods, Lincoln persevered in his political career, and his compassion and honesty gradually earned him the trust of many Americans. As president, he guided the nation through a long and bitter civil war and penned the document that would lead to the end of slavery in the United States.

The passion for humanity that defined Lincoln's life shines through in this addition to the highly acclaimed Big Words series, told in Doreen Rappaport's accessible, absorbing prose, and brought to life in powerful illustrations by Kadir Nelson.

A beautiful hardcover selection of the best poems from Alfred, Lord Tennyson. AN EVERYMAN'S LIBRARY POCKET POET.

Alfred, Lord Tennyson was a more complex writer than his status as Queen Victoria's favorite poet might suggest. Though capable of rendering rapture and delight in the most exquisite verse, in another mode Tennyson is brother in spirit to Poe and Baudelaire, the author of dark, passionate reveries. And though he treasured poetic tradition, his work nevertheless engaged directly with the great issues of his time, from industrialization and the crisis of faith to scientific progress and women's rights. A master of the short, intense lyric, he can also be sardonic, humorous, voluptuous, earthy, and satirical.

This collection includes Tennyson's most famous poems, as well as extracts from all the major masterpieces--"Idylls of the King," "The Princess," "In Memoriam," "The Lotos-Eaters"--and several complete long poems.

Including:

- "The Lady of Shalott"
- "The Charge of the Light Bridgade"
- "Break, Break, Break"
- "Come into the Garden, Maud"
- "Ulysses"
- "Demeter and Persephone"
- "Morte d'Arthur"

Everyman's Library pursues the highest production standards, printing on acid-free cream-colored paper, with full-cloth cases with two-color foil stamping, decorative endpapers, silk ribbon markers, European-style half-round spines, and a jewel-toned jacket.

Nestled in the blue mists of Tennessee's Smoky Mountains, the 10,000-acre bucolic refuge of Blackberry Farm houses a top-rated small inn with one of the premier farm-to-table restaurants in the country. This sumptuous cookbook offers a collection of recipes that are as inspired by the traditional rustic cooking of the mountainous south as they are by a fresh, contemporary, artistic sensibility. Some of the dishes are robust, others are astonishingly light, all are full of heart and surprise and flavor -- and all are well within the reach of the home cook.

California has the French Laundry, Virginia has the Inn at Little Washington, and Tennessee has Blackberry Farm, where the indulgences of a luxury inn are woven together with odes to nature -- fly-fishing, hiking, foraging, bird watching, and heirloom gardening -- to create a new way of looking at the world, a way in which anything seems possible.

This is particularly true at the Inn's table and in its award-winning wine cellar. To the farm's master gardeners, food artisans and chefs, meals are an opportunity to express not only the earth and the culture of this remote spot, but also its spirit. On a spring day this might mean Rye Whiskey-Cured Trout with Fresh and Pickled Fennel, and the summer garden might inspire a Chilled Corn Soup with Garlic Custard, a papardelle of baby carrots, or a tomato terrine. In the cooler weather, game and traditionally preserved food -- cider-basted venison, a shell-bean and gamebird cassoulet, a dried apple stack cake or Bourbon Apple Fried Pies -- keep conversation in front of the fire lively. For all its artfulness, however, Blackberry Farm's garden-to-table cooking tends to be an ode to a well-loved cast iron skillet, a backyard smoker or a wood-fired grill.

In the foothills, you don't eat to eat, you eat to talk, to remember and to imagine what you will eat tomorrow. In this book, the stories of the people who practice the traditional mountain food arts -- the bacon man, the heirloom gardener, the cheese maker and sausage man -- are woven together with the recipes, lore and regional history to reflect the spirit of the cooking at Blackberry Farm. Breathtaking photographs capture the magical world that surrounds the table -- the hills and rushing creeks, the lights and shadows of the forest, the moods and moments of the garden.
