His songs range from the subtle and insightful to the wild and hilarious, and will leave you smiling (and with a new appreciation for squirrels and leftovers in the refrigerator!)  Grammy nominated producer/vocalist Kate Hart says of Sharon Tse, "Sharon is a daring and uncompromising innovator with her confessional folk-pop to her jazz-inflected songs . . . her sound and style remain uniquely her own while her honesty continuously pulls on your heart." These two artists together are an unbeatable combination, and the perfect way to kick off the new year at Crazy Wisdom!

 A Discovery of Witches (Paperback)
By Deborah Harkness
List Price: $16.00
Our Price: $11.20
(Save: $4.80 30%)

"A wonderfully imaginative grown-up fantasy with all the magic of Harry Potter and Twilight."
-People

In a sparkling debut, A Discovery of Witches became the "it" book of early 2011, bringing Deborah Harkness into the spotlight and galvanizing fans around the world. In this tale of passion and obsession, Diana Bishop, a young scholar and the descendant of witches, discovers a long-lost and enchanted alchemical manuscript deep in Oxford's Bodleian Library. Its reappearance summons a fantastical underworld, which she navigates with her leading man, vampire geneticist Matthew Clairmont. Harkness has created a universe to rival those of Anne Rice, Diana Gabaldon, and Elizabeth Kostova, and she adds a scholar's depth to this riveting story of magic and suspense.


 Malcolm X: A Life of Reinvention (Paperback)
By Manning Marable
List Price: $18.00
Our Price: $12.60
(Save: $5.40 30%)
"An extraordinary portrait of a man and his time. . . .A masterpiece."
-San Francisco Chronicle

The late Manning Marable's acclaimed biography of Malcolm X finally does justice to one of the most influential and controversial figures of twentieth-century American history. Filled with startling new information and shocking revelations, Malcolm X unfolds a sweeping story of race and class in America. Reaching into Malcolm's troubled youth, it traces a path from his parents' activism as followers of Marcus Garvey through his own work with the Nation of Islam and rise in the world of black nationalism, and culminates in the never-before-told true story of his assassination. Malcolm X is a stunning achievement, the definitive work on one of our greatest advocates for social change.



 Deep Truth: Igniting the Memory of Our Origin, History, Destiny, and Fate (Hardcover)
By Gregg Braden
List Price: $24.95
Our Price: $17.47
(Save: $7.49 30%)

The Crisis:


Best-selling author and visionary scientist Gregg Braden suggests that the hottest topics that divide us as families, cultures, and nations-seemingly disparate issues such as war, terrorism, abortion, genocide, poverty, economic collapse, climate change, and nuclear threats-are actually related. They all stem from a worldview based upon the false assumptions of an incomplete science.
Deep Truth reveals new discoveries that change the way we think about everything from our personal relationships to civilization itself. When the facts become clear, our choices become obvious.



 Wood (Hardcover)
By Joachim Radkau
List Price: $29.95
Our Price: $20.97
(Save: $8.99 30%)

Ötzi the iceman could not do without wood when he was climbing his Alpine glacier, nor could medieval cathedral-builders or today's construction companies. From time immemorial, the skill of the human hand has developed by working wood, so much so that we might say that the handling of wood is a basic element in the history of the human body. The fear of a future wood famine became a panic in the 18th century and sparked the beginnings of modern environmentalism.
This book traces the cultural history of wood and offers a highly original account of the connection between the raw material and the human beings who benefit from it. Even more, it shows that wood can provide a key for a better understanding of history, of the pecularities as well as the varieties of cultures, of a co-evolution of nature and culture, and even of the rise and fall of great powers. Beginning with Stone Age hunters, it follows the twists and turns of the story through the Middle Ages and the Industrial Revolution to the global society of the twenty-first century, in which wood is undergoing a varied and unexpected renaissance. Radkau is sceptical of claims that wood is about to disappear, arguing that such claims are self-serving arguments promoted by interest groups to secure cheaper access to, and control over, wood resources. The whole forest and timber industry often strikes the outsider as a world unto itself, a hermetically sealed black box, but when we lift the lid on this box, as Radkau does here, we will be surprised by what we find within.
