SUDHIR VENKATESHFloating CityA Rogue Sociologist Lost and Found in New York’s Underground Economy“Venkatesh portrays with insight and empathy the daily struggles of those in the subter-ranean economy. Focusing on several particularly compelling characters, he tells their stories…presenting them in all their complex and messy humanity, never reducing them to journalistic or sociological stereotypes.”—New York Journal of Books “A riveting narrative of the...arrangements that enable illegal entrepreneurship…[full of] street-savvy case studies and vignettes of urban life.”—The Times Higher Education PENGUIN PAPERBACK • 304 PP. • 978-0-14-312579-2 • $17.00ALSO OF INTEREST: Gang Leader for a Day • PENGUIN PAPERBACK • 978-0-14-311493-2

RANA DASGUPTA Capital: The Eruption of Delhi“[An] unsparing portrait of moneyed Delhi; no telling detail seems to escape Dasgupta’s notice. His novelistic talents are matched by his skill at eliciting astonishing candor from his subjects. The best passages are incisive summaries of the human and environmental costs of the elite’s wealth and privilege and his persuasive predictions of crises yet to come. Dasgupta constantly seeks to upend conventional wisdom about Delhi, the murky circulation of its money, and the roots of its periodic outbursts of violence, making this one of the most worthwhile in a strong field of recent books about India’s free-market revolution and its unintended consequences.”—The New YorkerPENGUIN PRESS HARDCOVER • 496 PP. • 978-1-59420-447-0 • $28.95PENGUIN PAPERBACK • 480 PP. • 978-0-14-312699-7 • $18.00PAPERBACK AVAILABLE APRIL 2015

DAVID P I LL INGBending Adversity: Japan and the Art of SurvivalThe Financial Times Asia editor presents a fresh vision of Japan, drawing on his own experience as well as observations from a cross section of Japanese citizenry, including novelist Haruki Murakami, former prime minister Junichiro Koizumi, industrialists and bankers, activists and artists, teenagers and octogenarians. “[Pilling] is perfectly placed to be our guide, and his insights are a real rarity when very few Western journalists communicate the essence of the world’s third-largest economy in anything but the most superficial ways….A terrific selection of interview subjects mixed with great reportage and fact selection….Valuable.”—The Telegraph (UK)PENGUIN PAPERBACK • 416 PP. • 978-0-14-312695-9 • $18.00

JOHN HOOPERThe ItaliansDigging deep into history, culture, and religion, Hooper offers keys to understanding contemporary Italy and the unique character of its people, from their bewildering poli-tics to their love of life and beauty. Looking at the facts behind the stereotypes, he sheds light on varied aspects of Italian life: football and freemasonry, sex, symbolism, and the reason why Italian has twelve words for coat hanger yet none for hangover. “An indispensible guide to life in Italy past and present. [This] incisive portrait…reveals the Italians in all their complexity, from their dolce vita and transcendent art to their gut-wrenching social and political struggles.”—Joseph Luzzi, author of My Two ItaliesVIKING HARDCOVER • 366 PP. • 978-0-525-42807-7 • $28.95

A LEX PENTLAND Social Physics: How Social Networks Can Make Us SmarterThe MIT professor and leading data scientist presents a landmark tour of the science of idea flow, offering insights into the mysteries of collective intelligence and social influence. “Filled with rich findings about what makes people tick. Using millions of data points measured over a long period of time in real settings…the author has monitored human behavior on an unprecedented scale….A fascinating look at a new field.”—The Economist“Whisk[s] you up to speed on cutting-edge research at the interface of technology, be-havioral science, and the social world….Pentland brilliantly analyzes how new ideas flow and how, with the emergence of the ‘data-driven society,’ they will increasingly influence every aspect of our lives.”—Stephen M.

AMY CHUA and JED RUBENFELD The Triple Package: How Three Unlikely Traits Explain the Rise and Fall of Cultural Groups in AmericaDrawing on groundbreaking original research and startling statistics, Chua and Ruben-field investigate how certain numerically small communities—Jews, Chinese-Ameri-cans, Cuban-Americans, and Mormons, among others—achieve remarkable group suc-cess through a rare, demanding constellation of qualities: believing themselves superior, fearing they are inadequate, and exercising heightened self-discipline. “[Chua and Rubenfield] draw on eye-opening studies of the influence of stereotypes and expectations on various ethnic and cultural groups….The authors’ willingness to pursue an intellectual inquiry that others wouldn’t is bracing.”—The Guardian (UK)PENGUIN PAPERBACK • 336 PP. • 978-0-14-312635-5 • $17.00

JOSHUA GREENEMoral Tribes: Emotion, Reason, and the Gap Between Us and ThemIn this grand synthesis of neuroscience, psychology, and philosophy, the award-winning scientist and director of Harvard University’s Moral Cognition Lab reveals the underly-ing causes of modern conflict and decisions. “Greene helped start the field of moral neuroscience, producing dazzling research find-ings. In this equally dazzling book, [he] shows that he is also one of the field’s premier synthesists….Greene takes on…how to foster cooperation between groups...with differ-ent morals and values. There are few more important issues to solve in our increasingly pluralistic world.”—Robert Sapolsky, Stanford University PENGUIN PAPERBACK • 432 PP. • 978-0-14-312605-8 • $18.00

HAZEL ROSE MARKUS and ALANA CONNERClash!: How to Thrive in a Multicultural WorldIn this discussion of the divide between cultures prizing independence and those favor-ing interdependence, two leading psychologists explore how cultural backgrounds cre-ate our sense of self, fuel many of today’s pressing conflicts, and affect everything from political administration to childrearing.“In these days of heedless enthusiasm for gene maps and brain scans, Clash! reminds us that human beings are, above all, culture-bearing, culture-sharing, and culture-shaping animals. This thoroughly engaging book shows that to know a person, one must know a culture.”—Barry Schwartz, Swarthmore CollegePLUME PAPERBACK • 320 PP. • 978-0-14-218093-8 • $17.00

CL IVE STAFFORD SMITH The Injustice SystemA Murder in Miami and a Trial Gone WrongThe maverick public defender who inspired John Grisham relates the story of one of his toughest cases: a man on death row whose trial exposes a legal system that seeks only to convict, even at the price of justice. “In...recounting the crime, trial, and appeals, Smith paints a bleak picture of criminal justice in America….A moving tale of devotion by an extraordinary lawyer who nearly bankrupted himself and his fledgling public-interest law office to fight for his client’s life and liberty, The Injustice System reveals the deep gap between cherished ideals and harsh reality in a country addicted to incarceration.”—The New York Times Book ReviewPENGUIN PAPERBACK • 384 PP. • 978-0-14-312416-0 • $17.00

Case studies of ethnic groups point to a complex, reciprocal relationship among DNA, culture, and environment….Genetic traits, Kenneally shows, are modified by factors such as other genes, noncoding DNA, and chemical changes in the body. She suggests that one’s understanding of one’s identity is at least as deterministic as one’s genetic inheritance.”—The New YorkerVIKING HARDCOVER • 368 PP. • 978-0-670-02555-8 • $27.95
