RUBIES IN THE ORCHARD

The POM Queen’s Secrets to Marketing Just About Anything

 By Lynda Resnick with Francis Wilkinson

 “Using sound advice, a wealth of first-hand experience, historical perspective, and fierce self-confidence, Lynda Resnick has written a very useful and practical book. Anyone starting a business or running an entrepreneurial venture should read [it].”

—Martha Stewart, founder of Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia

 “Lynda is truly an unstoppable force. She has had a remarkable career taking small businesses and transforming them into iconic brands. In Rubies in the Orchard, Lynda shares her shrewd and surprisingly simple strategies for breaking through in a cluttered marketplace.” 

—Rupert Murdoch, chairman and CEO, News Corporation

 “You can buy a thousand books with sound business lessons, but Rubies in the Orchard is among a special few that lift you from your seat and compel you to act immediately.”

—Chris DeWolfe, cofounder and CEO, MySpace

 “Lynda Resnick focused on finding the truth to set her brands free. Whether identifying the medical benefits of POM or the pitfalls in delivering flowers, this born marketer knows how to sell without even stepping outside the box.”

—Mehmet Oz, bestselling author and vice chairman and professor of surgery, New York-Presbyterian Hospital/Columbia 

Lynda Resnick and her husband, Stewart, own FIJI Water, POM, and Teleflora, among other companies. In 2003, only 12 percent of the population even knew what a pomegranate was. Today, thanks to the tireless efforts of Lynda and her team at POM, pomegranates are ubiquitous in our culture, their astonishing health benefits are well known, and POM has developed into a 150 million dollar business.

Beyond her considerable success with POM, Lynda helped to turn a fledgling flower service called Teleflora into the world’s largest floral service, with 24,000 member retail florists. Since acquiring FIJI Water in early 2005—the tenth ranked premium water at the time—she orchestrated a complete identity relaunch. As a result, sales have increased 200 percent and FIJI Water has overtaken Evian as the #1 premium water in America. How did she do it?

The Wall Street Journal bestseller RUBIES IN THE ORCHARD: The POM Queen’s Secrets to Marketing Just About Anything (Broadway Business; on sale: April 6, 2010; Trade Paperback Reprint; $15.00) by Lynda Resnick with Francis Wilkinson chronicles the fresh approaches, innovative ideas, and can-do self-confidence behind Lynda’s immense success, sharing how all of us can succeed in today’s market—whether we work for a mom-and-pop organization or a billion-dollar international food conglomerate.

 Lynda reveals her secrets to creating some of the world’s most memorable and iconic brands, and shows managers and marketers how to think inside the box (rather than outside of it). In doing this, she also shares her knowledge and passion for marketing brands, products, and services. Her insights are relevant and sustainable in this roller coaster of a century and will encourage and enable anyone who is building a business to look at their companies with a new eye on authenticity, transparency, value, energy, integrity, and innovation. 

Told from Lynda’s fresh, opinionated, funny point of view, RUBIES IN THE ORCHARD dispenses contrarian advice on how to promote products, win the hearts and minds of today’s customers, create brand faith in an age of cynicism, dismiss the predictable and expected, and achieve extraordinary results.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:

LYNDA RESNICK is the marketing genius behind POM—the company that put pomegranates on the map—as well as FIJI Water and Teleflora. She and her husband own these and several other companies, and are the biggest producers of nuts, apricots, and pomegranates in the world.

By Eleo Gordon & Tony Lacey

Whether through economic necessity or some wider cultural shift, grandparents and grandchildren seem closer today than ever before. Today’s grandparents are living longer—and staying active—so they’ve got the time and the years to be good grandparents, but so often they are held back by the generation gap and aren’t sure what they can do with their grandkids that will be fun for everyone.

Now, grandparents can stop being anxious about planning special time with their grandchildren and get involved the way they’ve always wanted with the new book: THE REALLY USEFUL GRANDPARENTS’ BOOK (Broadway Books; Hardcover; On Sale: April 6, 2010; Price: $24.99) by Eleo Gordon and Tony Lacey. To be a grandparent is a wonderful privilege. But there’s no point in pretending that it isn’t also a responsibility, and a very demanding one at that. With a bit of luck, this book will help. In the tradition of The Dangerous Book for Boys and The Daring Book for Girls, you’ll never have to hear the words “I’m bored” again!  

 Some of the great ideas in the book that you can explore with your grandchildren include:  

• Camping out in the backyard
• Having a treasure hunt
• Learning to cook
• Making a kite
• Learning and performing card tricks
• And…creating a special iPod playlist.

Each chapter contains simple directions and illustrations for all of these activities, plus stories interwoven throughout ranging in topics from Ancient Egypt to The Wild West, to Disasters at Sea and Famous Explorers to name a few.

This is the perfect book for any grandparent who knows just how special it is to bond with their grandchildren and is looking for ways to enhance and improve that relationship for years to come.

ABOUT THE AUTHORS:

Tony Lacey has worked as an editor at Penguin for thirty years. He has two grown-up children, and a granddaughter and grandson.

Eleo Gordon also works in publishing. Her parents lived abroad and as a child she spent most of her holidays with her grandparents.

The Tablehopper’s Guide to Dining and Drinking in San Francisco

Find the Right Spot for Every Occasion

Marcia Gagliardi

Quick: your parents/ex-boyfriend/regional sales manager/hip friend from Manhattan are coming to town. Do you know where to take them for dinner? Unfortunately, most restaurant guidebooks can’t help you find the right spot. Because here’s a revelation: diners don’t choose restaurants by category ranking (French, Financial District, $$$, ***), but by occasion: cocktails and nibbles with the girls, first date, power lunch, dinner with the kids.

Finally, there’s a guidebook by someone who understands how people really eat really dine out. Marcia Gagliardi, a San Francisco food writer and culinary personality, is known from coast to coast as “The Tablehopper,” a trusted source for what’s new, good, and of course, delicious in the San Francisco restaurant and bar scene.

Since Marcia was a teenager, she has been an unofficial culinary concierge for her friends and family, who came to rely on her knack for providing the perfect restaurant recommendation. After launching her weekly tablehopper e-column in 2006 and receiving an onslaught of requests from her readers, Marcia started “tip please,” a free customized restaurant recommendation service on her site.

After making more than 1,500 restaurant recommendations, Marcia realized that her readers were always looking for restaurants by situation, and rarely by neighborhood or cuisine. Whether it’s a group of out-of-towners trying to find that quintessential San Francisco experience, a birthday group seeking a rowdy place for a party of 10, or a nervous couple on a blind date, people want a personal recommendation from a well-connected local—not a faceless guidebook.

Marcia’s solution to these dining dilemmas is The Tablehopper’s Guide to Dining and Drinking in San Francisco, which covers the city’s dining landscape with a totally fresh perspective and voice, recommending the right place for the right time. With her unique blend of enthusiasm, insider knowledge, and sass, Marcia takes into account why you’re going out, who you’re dining with, and how much cash you have to burn.

The book contains nearly 600 reviews of her top suggestions for occasions like:

Marcia also includes “insider” one-, two-, and three-day itineraries for gourmet-minded tourists on a variety of budgets. With sections on destination-worthy locations in the East Bay, South Bay, and Wine Country, this is the sort of handy guidebook even a local—especially a local—will find useful.

The Tablehopper’s Guide to Dining and Drinking in San Francisco is full of hot tips about obscure locations, can’t-miss dishes, and the best seats in the house that only a savvy food writer, obsessive restaurant insider, and San Francisco resident of 15 years would know. The tablehopper is your ultimate restaurant matchmaker, guiding you to the best pupusa or Pimm’s Cup, for date one or three. 

about the author

Marcia (rhymes with Garcia) Gagliardi is a freelance food writer and culinary personality, known as the tablehopper. Marcia and her free weekly e-column are among the Bay Area’s most trusted resources for spot-on (and fun) recommendations on where to eat, drink, and hobnob. She has appeared on Oprah & Friends: The Gayle King Show; Playboy TV; the Martha Stewart Living Today radio show, and many local programs. Visit www.tablehopper.com for more information.

ECO-SEX:

GO GREEN BETWEEN THE SHEETS AND MAKE YOUR LOVE LIFE SUSTAINABLE

by Stefanie Iris Weiss

“Eco-Sex will take you from book cover to sheet cover with your eco-mate, addressing everything from green dates to earth-friendly aphrodisiacs to safe, healthy sex.” —The Green Life, Sierra Club

“Eco-Sex is really about better sex. In her fast-paced, engaging style, Weiss dispenses long overdue advice for leading a healthier, sexier, and greener lifestyle.”—Josh Dorfman, host, The Lazy Environmentalist, Sundance Channel

A discerning, sexy and on-trend guide, ECO-SEX arrives on shelves just in time for the 40th anniversary of Earth Day.  Authored by Stefanie Iris Weiss, MA, ECO-SEX examines all the elements it takes to create a truly sustainable sex life. Looking for a red-hot thrill in the bedroom?  ECO-SEX brings a whole new meaning to the old phrase “the birds and the bees.” Recharge your passion for the environment with ECO-SEX and help inaugurate the next (and best) sexual revolution.

ECO-SEX: Go Green Between the Sheets and Make Your Love Life Sustainable opens with smart, sexy questions:

• What’s that condom really made of?
• Does the birth control pill do more harm than good?
• Where can I find sex toys that won’t harm my body OR the environment?
• How do I make sure that my lingerie is as sustainable as my locally-grown veggies?
• Which brand of organic chocolate is equally delicious and good for the planet?
• Why is overpopulation the environmental disaster we never talk about in public?

ECO-SEX provides even smarter answers that every ecosexual must grasp before sliding between sustainably-grown bamboo sheets.  Chock-full of reliable websites, manufacturers, and labels to look out for, ECO-SEX is a user-friendly manual covering courtship rituals, bedroom basics and eco-lifestyle choices. From greening your beauty routine to sourcing fair-trade gifts to green solutions for STDs to eco-parenting––no dirty detail is left out.  Whether you’re worried about Big Oil or trying to achieve your own Big O, ECO-SEX has the answers.

Ms. Weiss takes the guesswork out of which ingredients to avoid in cosmetics and personal care products, while exploring the dangers of “greenwashing.” Experts abound in ECO-SEX: a certified aromatherapist and natural botanical perfumer provides DIY essential oil blends for the ultimate in libido-stimulation.  Celebrity chefs share their most seductive vegan and raw recipes, and a connoisseur of seduction offers her tips on eating sensually. ECO-SEX also covers tantra, yoga positions for better sex, the best cities to find single greenies, and even sex tips for pregnant chicks. Remember, there’s nothing sexier than a clear conscience.

About the Author

Stefanie Iris Weiss, MA, is the author of nine books on topics ranging from yoga to veganism to the beauty myth.  Weiss is a regular contributor to many publications. She keeps her carbon footprint small in New York City and is available for interviews.  Learn more at www.stefanieirisweiss.com and visit the blog at www.ecosex.net.

THE LUNATIC EXPRESS

Discovering the World . . .via Its Most Dangerous Buses, Boats, Trains, and Planes

Carl Hoffman

*Winner of four Lowell Thomas Awards from the Society of American Travel Writers*

“This book is fabulous. The lean description, the weave of old and new perspectives, the personalities, the real-people wisdom, and that the danger is as real as we don’t want to think it is. The Lunatic Express is refreshing, liberating, and a paean to true travel.

—Keith Bellows, editor in chief of National Geographic Traveler

“Carl Hoffman has reinvented the travelogue as the supreme theater of paradox. He stands for humanity as a work in progress. Forget the inoculations. Disregard protection. Take this ride, and find the way to interconnectedness, verity and understanding.”

—Richard Bangs, producer and host of Adventures with Purpose

Indonesian Ferry Sinks. Peruvian Bus Plunges Off Cliff. Kenyan Train Attacked by Mobs. Whenever he picked up a newspaper, Carl Hoffman noticed those short news bulletins and was struck by how far removed the idea of tourism—travel as the pursuit of pleasure—is from the reality of most people’s experience. So off he went, spending five months circumnavigating the globe on the world’s worst conveyances—the statistically most dangerous airlines, the most crowded ferries, the slowest buses, and the deadliest trains—in order to understand what travel means to more than 99 percent of the world’s population because that’s all they can afford and there are no other options. Hoffman fittingly dubbed himself a “lunatic” and his journey “The Lunatic Express.”

Now, with THE LUNATIC EXPRESS: Discovering the World . . . via Its Most Dangerous Buses, Boats, Trains, and Planes (Broadway Books; March 16, 2010; Hardcover), Hoffman takes us along on his dicey adventures to some of the most teeming cities and remotest places on earth. We ride alongside Hoffman as he journeys:

From Havana to Bogotá on the perilous Cubana Airways. With a “fatal event rate” nearly twenty times higher than Southwest Airlines, Cubana has one of the worst safety records in the sky.

From Lima to the Amazon on crowded night buses navigating washed-out roads. The World Health Organization rates Latin American roads the most hazardous anywhere, with 1.2 million people a year killed in road accidents—nearly 3,000 a day.

Across Indonesia and Bangladesh on overcrowded ferries, which are responsible for the deaths of 1,000 passengers a year. Statistics show that more people die on ferries in Bangladesh than on ferries anywhere else in the world. Compare that to U.S. ferries where there were exactly zero fatalities between 1904 and 2003.

In Mumbai on commuter trains so packed that dozens perish daily. In April 2008, Mumbai’s Central and Western Railway released this staggering statistic: 20,706 fatalities on the trains and tracks during the last five years, making them the most dangerous conveyance on Earth.

Through Afghanistan on a bus as the Taliban closes in, where the threat of kidnapping, bombs, minefields, or gunfire is always just around the corner.

THE LUNATIC EXPRESS is an account of traveling with seatmates and deckmates who have left home without American Express cards, on conveyances that don’t take Visa, and seldom take you anywhere you’d want to go. It’s the story of traveling as it used to be, a sometimes harrowing trial, of finding adventure in a modern, rapidly urbanizing world and experiencing the generosity of poor strangers—from Papuan roughnecks playing homemade ukuleles in the steerage of an Indonesian ferry to vodka-guzzling Russian gangsters in Siberia—who make up most of the planet’s population. As he skirts the edges of disaster, Hoffman ponders the nature of family and human connection. More than a compelling chronicle of traveling where few vacationers dare to tread, THE LUNATIC EXPRESS is a funny, insightful look at the world as it is—a planet full of hundreds of millions of people, mostly poor, who are on the move and seeking their fortunes. 

CARL HOFFMAN is a contributing editor at National Geographic Traveler, Wired, and Popular Mechanics magazines. His stories about travel and technology have also appeared in Outside, Men’s Journal, and Smithsonian. He has won four Lowell Thomas Awards from the Society of American Travel Writers and once sailed a sixteen-foot open racing dingy 250 miles. His previous book is Hunting Warbirds: The Obsessive Quest for the Lost Aircraft of World War II. When he’s able to stay put for more than a few months at a time, he lives in Washington, D.C.

WHAT COLOR IS YOUR PARACHUTE? FOR TEENS, SECOND EDITION

Discovering Yourself, Defining Your Future

Carol Christen and Richard N. Bolles with Jean M. Blomquist             

Just as columnists are beginning to talk about the cost to the United States of a “generation without jobs” and the long-term negative impact of careers that stall out of the gate, a new generation of job-seekers is preparing to enter the job market. Only 20 percent of 2009 college graduates had found full time work as of September (when the latest figures were released), and the unemployment rate of 16- to 24-year-olds stands at 52.2 percent (US Gov, 9/2009). Getting the best job one can in any market is a survival skill few youth are taught. In this tough economy, it is now essential for young adults to position themselves for a career as early as possible.

Carol Christen has worked with teens and young adults for more than 30 years and has made it her mission to equip young people with the skills they need to launch a successful career. Co-authored with Richard N. Bolles, Christen’s What Color Is Your Parachute? for Teens adapts the time-honored techniques of What Color Is Your Parachute? for a younger audience—bringing vital new information to the fore about what young people need to do now to get the job they want later.

Tackling pertinent career issues young people face—from the high cost of education to the increasingly competitive job market—the book shows readers how to put together a blueprint for finding jobs that match their interests, and for getting the most out of high school and college in order to achieve their goals. Fully updated, this new edition offers timely advice on why foot-in-the-door internships are more important than ever and how a gap year with career goals in mind can ensure the right “purchase” in one’s education.

A huge portion of our young adult population spends their early twenties floundering with pointless education debt, no jobs, or jobs that are ill-suited for them. Loaded with self-discovery exercises and valuable tips from the world’s best-selling job-hunting book, What Color Is Your Parachute? for Teens delivers unparalleled guidance—not only for teens in search of a perfect career, but for the parents and counselors eager to inspire them.

Carol Christen is a career strategist who has worked extensively with teenagers. She lives in Atascadero, California, and is available for interviews. For more information follow Carol (Parachute4Teens) on Twitter or her blog  http://parachute4teens.wordpress.com/.

RICHARD N. BOLLES has been a leader in the job-hunting field for more than 35 years. The author of What Color Is Your Parachute?, the best-selling job-hunting book of all time, Bolles has been the keynote speaker at hundreds of conferences. Bolles holds a bachelors degree cum laude in physics from Harvard and three honorary doctorates.

What Color Is Your Parachute? for Teens: Discovering Yourself, Defining Your Future (second edition)

by Carol Christen and Richard N. Bolles with Jean M. Blomquist

$15.99 paper, 192 pages, 6 x 9 inches, ISBN: 978-1-58008-141-2

TEN SPEED PRESS, an imprint of the Crown Publishing Group

When fifteen-year-old Soli, aka Shifty, is assigned to a new foster home, he tries hard to keep cool and stay out of trouble.  But soon he and his seven-year-old foster sister Sissy are launched into a series of escapades involving a homeless woman, an unfriendly social worker, and the mysteries Shifty discovers in his case file.

Award-winning author Lynn E. Hazen has crafted a fast-paced young-adult novel that vividly captures the emotional territory of a teenage boy who knows all about moving around and nothing about where he came from.

2008 Smithsonian Notable Book for Children

VOYA (Voice of Youth Advocates) Top Shelf Fiction for Middle School Readers

CCBC (Cooperative Children’s Book Center) Choice 2009

“This combination of personal flaws and situational difficulties create a realistic story that resonates. Smart writing and an engaging narrative keep the story fresh, while an interesting plot will keep readers turning the pages.” —Kirkus Reviews

“…the realistic relationships between the four foster family members, their ability to believe in each other in a world where each of them has already had more than their share of bad breaks and Soli’s survivor-humor make these characters memorable.” —Shelf Awareness

“… Shifty doesn’t know anything about his parents or if his future holds any hope, but he does know that his brief existence has had more than its share of pain and loss. In deceptively straightforward prose, author Lynn Hazen brings Shifty’s San Francisco world to life on the page. Original, telling details, a compassionate eye, and Hazen’s intuitive understanding of how love and trust can save us make “Shifty” a book to treasure.” —Alison McGhee, author of New York Times bestseller Someday

LYNN E. HAZEN is the author of the middle-grade novel, Mermaid Mary Margaret which was hailed “a winner” by Kirkus Reviews. She lives with her family in San Francisco, California. For  more information visit www.shiftythebook.com .

Mixt Salads

A Chef’s Bold Creations

Andrew Swallow with Ann Volkwein

Andrew Swallow is the founder and executive chef at the beloved boutique salad joints, Mixt Greens, with locations in San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Washington D.C. Blending some of the most talked-about issues in contemporary food debates—seasonal/local, modest portions but big flavor, salad-as-meals eating—Swallow shares his creative, flavor-forward salads for the first time. Mixt Salads is a bold collection of more than 60 salad recipes featuring unusual and dynamic ingredient pairings that demonstrate just how incredible the overlooked salad can be.

Swallow’s training under Tom Colicchio at Gramercy Tavern and at Gary Danko, together with his penchant for cooking with fine products and the conscious use of seasonal ingredients, uniquely equip him to reinvent the salad category. Swallow starts from scratch and walks readers through salad-building essentials, from tools to pantry ingredients to dressing and plating tips, then presents seasonal information on everything from radicchio to watercress so they can create their own masterpiece.

We’re not talking about prewashed greens thrown into a bowl and loaded up with some overly sugared dressing. These are mixt salads: organic, hyper-fresh, deeply layered with flavors and textures, and totally, completely addictive. Some of Swallow’s playful yet elegant offerings:

From healthy, super-food packed salads to indulgent affairs that feature premium ingredients like duck confit, crab, and lobster, these center-stage salads lay the groundwork for revolutionizing the way we think of greens.

About the Author

After working at Gramercy Tavern, ANDREW SWALLOW graduated from the CIA in Hyde Park, New York. While working as a manager of Gary Danko, he decided to create a new eco-gourmet fast-casual option: Mixt Greens. With locations in San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Washington D.C., Mixt is continuing to expand across the country, while preserving its gutsy approach to salads, maintaining ecologically sound business practices, and retaining its original mandate of environmental sustainability. Andrew lives in San Francisco.
