Print: $19.99 ABOUT THE MASS-MARKET EDITION, not available from bookstores: "...Trebach's proposals are worthy of serious consideration... Highly recommended," wrote Library Journal. Widely praised as a controversial but thoughtful alternative to drug control policies of its time, the first edition was released in 1987 by Macmillan Publishing. More than 20 years later, it is clear that the drug interdiction policies of the 'eighties and 'nineties failed, and that Trebach's alternative proposals deserve a new look from today's perspective in this new, expanded edition from UP.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Also author of The Heroin Solution (Yale University Press, 1982; updated by UP in 2006) Arnold S. Trebach has worked as an attorney, professor, award-winning writer, and a legendary drug policy reformer for decades.

Print: $12.99 ABOUT THE PAPERBACK AND AUTHOR: This is veteran network audio engineer Mark Butler's inside view of Beijing during the 2008 Summer Olympics, the real story behind the story. It's an absolute MUST-READ for anyone who loves sports, and those who want to learn about the backstage miracles that bring world-class sporting events to your home. This unassuming little book is also a remarkable feat of sports journalism powered by new publishing technologies. The author, Mark Butler, sent reports from Beijing by e-mail, plus original photos, day by day. They were combined, one by one, into this book. By design, these raw, in-the-moment insights were largely preserved as written. The final journal entry was originally dated August 23, 2008. The resulting book was released on August 24. Astoundingly, it was in print while the games were still in progress. This was the first time in history that any book-length account of the Olympics was published before the closing ceremonies.

Print: $12.99 ABOUT THE PAPERBACK, co-published by Harvardwood Books and Unlimited Publishing LLC: There is a "becoming" Jane Austen who delights Victorians, spinsters, and weenies — and who disgusted Mark Twain. There also exists a nastier Jane Austen who challenges traditional notions of fitness and propriety. Much of this Jane vanished when her sister Cassandra burned many of her letters. However, a caustic Jane Austen remains to be appreciated in her novels, juvenilia, and surviving correspondence. With a variety of insights afforded by psychoanalysis, Regency history, and evolutionary theory, (as well as Proust and Casanova and Stendhal), the author recovers a Jane Austen who is unbecoming, adult, entertaining -- and truly classic.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Steve Bachmann is the co-founder of The New Orleans Art Review and four books of art and literary criticism.
