Every book tells a story . . . And the 70 titles in the Pocket Penguins series are emblematic of the renowned breadth and quality that formed part of the original Penguin vision in 1935 and that continue to define our publishing today. Together, they tell one version of the unique story of Penguin Books. Marian Keyes spearheaded a new wave of contemporary women's fiction, providing wickedly funny tales of twenty- and thirty-somethings living and loving on the edge. No stranger to the road less commonly travelled herself, Marian has also written two collections of tales and observations from her own life. Nothing Bad Ever Happens in Tiffany's is a small but perfectly formed selection of these.

If a writer wanted to create a classic American character, he could hardly do better than to look to Jim Miller's extraordinary eighty-plus years for inspiration. Born in the midst of the Great Depression, Jim was an indifferent student who grew into a passionate and lifelong learner, inventor, and problem-solver. A high school dropout and blue-collar father of six before he was thirty, he never shied away from hard work. Whether heading south in his middle teens to work on a commercial fishing boat off the Florida Keys, strapping a .38 pistol to his waist when lobstering on the lawless waters of Long Island Sound, or founding companies that, over the years, have earned in excess of a billion dollars, Jim Miller always said yes to opportunity and made his own luck along the way.Here, in Jim's own words and those of his family, friends, and colleagues, is the story of a remarkable American life. Alternately funny, moving, and jaw-dropping in its twists and turns, Nothing Bad Ever Happens chronicles Jim's approach to life ("Nothing bad ever happens, only missed opportunities") and how it helped him manage every setback with optimism and grit. It's the story of the risks Jim and his family took through the years to make a better life for themselves--and the unbreakable bonds that held that family together through thick and often very, very thin. In scenes set all across the globe, from New York Harbor to the Gulf of Mexico, from the North Fork of Long Island to London, Japan, Panama, and beyond, a portrait emerges of a man whose creativity, optimism, and boundless capacity for hard work allowed him to seize opportunities where others saw only peril and the likelihood of loss. Over the years, Jim Miller has built several fortunes, raised a loving family with his wife of sixty years (the beautiful Barbara), and created enough stories to fill a fair-sized book.This is that book. This is the tale of a life well lived.

"The possibility of being a victim of a crime is ever present on my mind; thinking about it as natural as breathing."—40-year-old woman This is a compelling analysis of how women in the United States perceive the threat of crime in their everyday lives and how that perception controls their behavior. Esther Madriz draws on focus groups and in-depth interviews to show the damage that fear can wreak on women of different ages and socioeconomic backgrounds. Although anxiety about crime affects virtually every woman, Madriz shows that race and class position play a role in a woman's sense of vulnerability. Fear of crime has resulted in public demand for stronger and more repressive policies throughout the country. As funds for social programs are cut, Madriz points out, those for more prisons and police are on the increase. She also illustrates how media images of victims—"good" victims aren't culpable, "bad" victims invite trouble—and a tough political stance toward criminals are linked to a general climate of economic uncertainty and conservatism. Madriz argues that fear itself is a strong element in keeping women in subservient and self-limiting social positions. "Policing" themselves, they construct a restricted world that leads to positions of even greater subordination: Being a woman means being vulnerable. Considering the enormous attention given to crime today, including victims' rights and use of public funds, Madriz's informative study is especially timely.

REALLY!?! is the story of privilege and purgatory . . . and the road traveled to both. Told as a series of uniquely lampooning and insightful anecdotal observations, Marc Freden quite literally travels the world, as the host of a British television series, to find out just where and who he is in the world. REALLY!?! takes on such lauded institutions as Hollywood, Catholicism, the British Monarchy and fame while exploring Freden’s personal vulnerability in dealing with homosexuality, depression, molestation and relationships. It’s written with his unique blend of raw, self-deprecating humor and honesty—the same winning combination that made him a true international television personality.
