McDonell, Nick.
New York : Atlantic Monthly, c2009.
"Mike Teak has a classic Harvard profile. But only on the surface. He's a
twenty-five-year-old scholar/athlete from an upper-class family who was
recruited by his godfather to work for a U.S. intelligence agency. On a covert
mission in a Somali village, he delivers cash and cell phones to Hatashil, a
legendary orphan warrior turned rebel leader. It's a routine assignment until,
minutes after they meet, the village is decimated by a missile attack, and
although Mike escapes, his life is changed forever. Echoing across continents,
the assault disrupts Professor Susan Lowell's orderly existence. Beautiful,
happily married, and the mother of two, she has just won a Pulitzer Prize for
her book celebrating Hatashil. Also shaken is Lowell's student, David Ayan, who
was born in the targeted village a world away from Harvard's most exclusive
final club, The Porcellian, which is courting him; and Jane, the smart, risk-
taking daughter of a wealthy East Coast family who's sleeping with him. David
Ayan struggles with his identity and Susan Lowell struggles against rumors about
her relationship with Hatashil, who has been accused of ordering the village
massacre. But it is Mike Teak who faces a deadly challenge--because when he
discovers a horrific conspiracy he immediately realizes that he has become
expendable, with nowhere to run and no one to trust. Until the very last
minute."--dust cover.

de Beauvoir. Between semesters, she takes a job as a part-time nanny. The family
she works for seems both mysterious and glamorous to her, and although Tassie
had once found children boring, she comes to care for, and to protect, their
newly adopted little girl as her own. As the year unfolds and she is drawn
deeper into each of these lives, her own life back home becomes ever more alien
to her: her parents are frailer; her brother, aimless and lost in high school,
contemplates joining the military. Tassie finds herself becoming more and more
the stranger she felt herself to be, and as life and love unravel dramatically,
even shockingly, she is forever changed..."--dust cover flap.

"When his father, brothers and uncles wiped each other out in a murderous
civil war, Nicephorus was forced to leave the University and become emperor.
Seventy-seven emperors had met violent deaths over the past hundred years, most
of them murdered by their own soldiers. Hardly unsurprising, then, that Nico
should want to fill the major offices of state with the only people he knew he
could trust, his oldest and closest friends. But there's danger on the northern
frontier, and Nico daren't send a regular general up there with an army, for
fear of a military coup. He turns to his best friend Phormio, who reluctantly
takes the job. Military dispatches, written in the purple ink reserved
exclusively for official business, are a miserable way for friends to keep in
touch, at a time when they need each other most. But there's space in the
document-tube for another sheet of paper."--dust cover flap.

The
inheritance of Rome : a history of Europe from 400 to 1000
Wickham, Chris, 1950-
New York : Viking, 2009.
Historian Chris Wickham defies conventional views of the "Dark Ages"
in European history with a work of rigorous yet accessible scholarship. Drawing
on a wealth of new material and featuring a thoughtful synthesis of historical
and archaeological approaches, Wickham argues that these centuries were critical
in the formulation of European identity. Far from being a "middle"
period between more significant epochs, this age has much to tell us in its own
right about the progress of culture and the development of political thought.
Wickham focuses on a world still profoundly shaped by Rome, which encompassed
peoples ranging from Goths, Franks, and Vandals to Arabs, Anglo-Saxons, and
Vikings. Digging deep into each culture, Wickham constructs a vivid portrait of
a vast and varied world stretching from Ireland to Constantinople, the Baltic to
the Mediterranean --the crucible in which Europe would ultimately be
created.--From publisher description.

Homer and Langley Collyer are brothers, the one blind and deeply intuitive, the

War. They live as recluses in their once grand Fifth Avenue mansion, scavenging
the city streets for things they think they can use, hoarding the daily
newspapers as research for Langley's proposed dateless newspaper whose reportage
will be as prophecy. Yet the epic events of the century play out in the lives of
the two brothers, wars, political movements, technological advances and even
though they want nothing more than to shut out the world, history seems to pass
through their cluttered house in the persons of immigrants, prostitutes, society
women, government agents, gangsters, jazz musicians . . . and their housebound
lives are fraught with odyssean peril as they struggle to survive and create
meaning for themselves.
