Authors on today’s Leonard Lopate Show:

• Photographer Theodore Cross showcased Waterbirds (W.W. Norton, 978-0393072266, $100).

• Movie researcher and story analyst Daniel Eagan shared America's Film Legacy: A Guide to the Library of Congress National Film Registry (Continuum, 978-0826429773, $39.95).

Good Morning America had another visit from Steve Harvey, author of Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man: What Men Really Think About Love, Relationships, Intimacy, and Commitment (Amistad, 978-0061728976, $23.99).

On Coast to Coast AM, veteran journalist and conspiracy theorist Jim Marrs discussed his fiction debut The Sisterhood of the Rose (The Disinformation Company, 978-1934708293, $24.95). PW’s review had this to say: “With one-dimensional characters, stilted dialogue and lengthy 'instructional' passages, this novel moves laboriously toward a predictable Nazi-foiling finale.”

On The Ellen DeGeneres Show: talk-show host Craig Ferguson, whose memoir is American on Purpose: The Improbable Adventures of an Unlikely Patriot (Harper, 978-0061719547, $25.99; HarperAudio CD, $39.99).

Tonight, Tavis Smiley talks with bestselling James Bradley, author of The Imperial Cruise: A Secret History of Empire and War (Little, Brown, 978-0316008952, $29.99; Hachette Audio CD, $39.98), which PW called a “stridently disapproving study of early 20th-century U.S. policy in Asia. Ironically, his view of Asian history, like Roosevelt's, denies agency to the Asians themselves.”

Due to the nature of live programming, scheduling is subject to change.
