SUMMARY:Camille Paglia
DESCRIPTION:From the fiery intellectual provocateur: a brilliant essay collection that both celebrates and challenges modern feminism — from motherhood to Madonna\, football to Friedan\, stilettos to Steinem. \n\nWhen Camille Paglia first burst onto the scene with her best-selling Sexual Personae\, she established herself as a smart\, fearless\, and often dissenting voice among feminists. Now\, for the first time\, her best essays on the subject are gathered together in one concise volume: Free Women\, Free Men. Whether she’s declaring Madonna the future of feminism\, asking if men are obsolete\, calling for equal opportunity for American women years before the founding of N.O.W.\, or urging all women to love football\, Paglia can always be counted on to get a discussion started. The rock-solid intellectual foundation beneath her fiery words assures her timeless relevance.

SUMMARY:Ian Rankin
DESCRIPTION:In Rather Be the Devil\, Detective Inspector John Rebus investigates a cold case that has turned red hot once again. \nJohn Rebus\, as incapable of settling into his retirement as he is of playing by the rules\, investigates a cold case from the 1970s involving a gorgeous and wealthy female socialite who was found dead in a bedroom at one of Edinburgh’s most luxurious hotels. No one was ever found guilty\, but the scandalous circumstances of the murder have kept the town talking for over forty years. Now\, Rebus has his own reasons to investigate\, but his inquiries quickly make him some very dangerous and powerful enemies who will stop at nothing to ensure that the case remains unsolved and the gossip falls on deaf ears. \nIan Rankin is an internationally #1 bestselling novelist and the recipient of an Edgar Award\, a Gold Dagger for fiction\, and the Chandler-Fulbright Award. He lives in Edinburgh\, Scotland\, with his wife and their two sons.
