With text by Pierce Brosnan, Sir Alan Bates and Kevin Bacon. Degrees is loosely based on the 'six degrees of separation' theory and the world-famous cinema game, The Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon. Andy Gotts has had extraordinary access to the world's most famous faces. Over 100 A-list actors feature in this fascinating collection of images and anecdotes. Each actor suggests a friend or colleague as the next person and, therefore, starts a wonderful chain of 'who knows who' and provides a glimpse into the human side of film.

Grace has taken care of her widowed father her entire adult life and the ornery old goat has finally died. She has no job, no skills and very little money, and has heard her father's prediction that no decent man would ever want her so often she accepts it as fact. But she does have a big old house on Lawyers Row in Peacock, Tennessee. She opens a rooming house and quickly gathers a motley crew of tenants: Promise, Grace's best friend since kindergarten, who's fighting cancer; Maxie, an aging soap opera actress who hasn't lost her flair for the dramatic; Jonah, a sweet, gullible old man with a crush on Maxie. And Dillon, Grace's brother's best friend, who stood her up on the night of her senior prom and has regretted it ever since. Dillon rents Grace's guest house for the summer and hopes to make up for lost time and past hurts—but first, he'll have to convince Grace that she's worth loving... 88,000 words

Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon meets The Book of Useless Information via Mad Libs in this fun new twist on classic trivia games. "WHO'S THE BLONDE THAT MARRIED WHAT'S-HIS-NAME whose last name sounds like a BIRD, but then they split, and she was in that SUPER-HIP MOVIE that totally revived the career of the DANCING SCIENTOLOGIST before he played a woman in that MUSICAL by the FUNNY BALTIMORE ECCENTRIC?" The answer's on the tip of my tongue! Everyone's been there-groping for a name or a title and then, in desperation, using roundabout phrases and weird associations in a frantic effort to remember the ENGLISH LADY who wrote all those mysteries, like the ONE ON THE TRAIN with that BELGIAN DETECTIVE and whenever you play that BOARD GAME with the knife in the conservatory and the gun in the billiard room and that COLONEL, it feels like you're in one of her books? These "tongue-tipper" moments affect everyone. Now they can be put to good use with this innovative pop culture game that will help trivia buffs and useless-information fans remember all the things they didn't even realize they'd forgotten.

Twin Tracks is a landmark book of real-world stories that investigates the nature of change and divines as never before the unlikely origins of many aspects of contemporary life. In each of the work's twenty-five narratives, we discover how the different outcomes of an important historical event in the past often come together again in the future. Each chapter starts with an event -- such as the U.S. attack on Tripoli in 1804 -- that generates two divergent series of consequences. After tracking each pathway as it ranges far and wide through time and space, Burke shows how the paths finally and unexpectedly converge in the modern world. Twin Tracks pinpoints the myriad ways the future is shaped, whether by love, war, accident, genius, or discovery. For instance, in "The Marriage of Figaro to Stealth Fighter," Burke's twin tracks start with the composer of the opera and the French spy from whose play he stole the plot. The tracks then encompass, among other things, freemasonry, the War of Independence, Captain Cook, jellyfish, Jane Austen, and audio tape. Ultimately, the convergence of the two Figaro tracks sets the stage for the development of Gulf War Stealth aircraft. Wonderfully accessible and lucidly written, Twin Tracks offers an amusing and instructive new view of the past and the future.
