Authors on today’s Leonard Lopate Show:

Former labor secretary Robert B. Reich explained Supercapitalism: The Transformation of Business, Democracy, and Everyday Life (Knopf, $25; Tantor Media unabridged CD, $34.99), which PW found a “compelling and important analysis of the triumph of capitalism and the decline of democracy. Provocatively argued, this book could help begin a necessary national conversation.”

Actor Alan Alda offers Things I Overheard While Talking to Myself (Random House, $24.95; RH Audio unabridged CD, $29.95). From PW’s review: “Alda is chatty, easygoing and humble, rather like a Mr. Rogers for grownups. His words of inspiration would be a perfect gift for a college grad or for anyone facing major life changes.”

Yale Law School professor and econometrician Ian Ayres explained Super Crunchers: Why Thinking-by-Numbers Is the New Way to Be Smart (Bantam, $25; RH Audio abridged CD, $29.95), which PW called a “lively and enjoyable book … Ayres skillfully demonstrates the importance that statistical literacy can play in our lives, especially now that technology permits it to occur on a scale never before imagined.”

Japanese literature and film professor Daisuke Miyao, author of Sessue Hayakawa: Silent Cinema and Transnational Stardom (Duke Univ. Press, $23.95). Hayakawa is best known for his Oscar-nominated role as the Japanese prison camp director in The Bridge on the River Kwai.

On The Diane Rehm Show, Atlantic Monthly correspondent and bestselling author Robert Kaplan recalled Hog Pilots, Blue Water Grunts: The American Military in the Air, at Sea, and on the Ground (Random House, $27.95; RH Audio abridged CD, $34.95), which PW’s starred review found a “shrewd and often provocative sequel [to his 2005 Imperial Grunts]… Kaplan combines the travel writer's keen eye for detail and the foreign correspondent's analytical skill to produce an account of America's military worthy of its subject.”

Authors on The Book Report:

National Book Award finalist Deborah Wiles introduced The Aurora County All-Stars (Harcourt Children’s, $16.95; Listening Library unabridged CD, $30), the third book set in her fictional Aurora County. PW starred its review, calling it “a home run for Wiles.”

Jacques Couvillon demonstrated The Chicken Dance (Bloomsbury Children’s, $16.95).
