Today on Good Morning America, Sophie Uliano served up The Gorgeously Green Diet: How to Live Lean and Green (Dutton, 978-0525951155, $25.95), just out this week.
On The Early Show, Jonah Lehrer explained How We Decide (Houghton Mifflin, 978-0618620111, $25; Brilliance Audio unabridged CD, $32.99). PW’s starred review said “Lehrer is a delight to read, and this is a fascinating book that will help everyone better understand themselves and their decision making.”
Today featured the show’s Emmy award-winning producers Mary Ann Zoellner and Alicia Ybarbo, authors of Today's Moms: Essentials for Surviving Baby's First Year (Collins Living, 978-0061721854, $16.99).
Martha Stewart hosted Charles Grodin, whose new memoir is How I Got to Be Whoever It Is I Am (Springboard Press, 978-0446519403, $24.99).
On The Leonard Lopate Show, Ahmed Rashid discussed Descent into Chaos: The U.S. and the Disaster in Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Central Asia (Penguin, 978-0143115571, $18; Brilliance Audio unabridged CD, $49.95). In its starred review, PW wrote “Rashid is an authoritative guide to the region's politics and his is an insightful, at times explosive, indictment of the U.S. government's hand in the region's degeneration.”
This weekend, NPR's Weekend All Things Considered talks with Robert Goolrick, whose debut novel is A Reliable Wife (Algonquin Books, 978-1565125964, $23.95). PW said it “gets off to a slow, stylized start, but eventually generates some real suspense. This darkly nuanced psychological tale builds to a strong and satisfying close.”
