New Word City LLC announces the publication of What You Can Learn From Nelson Mandela, a new eBook by the Editors of New Word City.

Nelson Mandela won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1993, yet he once advocated the violent overthrow of South Africa’s government and helped create a guerrilla army to attack apartheid. A child of privilege born into a royal family, he chose a life in the slums of Johannesburg to avoid an arranged marriage. Mandela is widely seen as a secular saint and a man of unyielding integrity, the Editors of New Word City write, but he proudly called himself a politician – a pragmatist willing to compromise to accomplish his larger goals. All leaders can learn from his tactics.

New Word City LLC announces the publication of The Urban Nomad: Vienna, a new eBook by award winning travel writer Peter Wortsman.

Vienna invented the café, that most congenial escape hatch of Western civilization, where modernist ideas such as psychoanalysis were hatched at the dawn of the twentieth century.  The visitor can still take a vacation from stress at 300-plus establishments, and leave his or her troubles (and cholesterol count) at the door for the price of a cup of coffee and a slice of cake.  But there is a dark past beneath the elegant glitter, Wortsman writes.  The Urban Nomad, son of Viennese émigrés, brings you the bitter along with the sweet.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Happiest when peripatetic, Peter Wortsman’s restless musings on his meanderings have appeared in The New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, the Washington Post, and in Germany’s The Atlantic Times, Die Welt, and Die Zeit.  Wortsman’s work has appeared on the popular travel Web site, World Hum, along with other print and electronic venues.  His travel reflections were selected four years running, 2008 through 2011, by Travelers’ Tales for The Best Travel Writing.  Wortsman is also the author of a book of short fiction, A Modern Way to Die, and two plays, The Tattooed Man Tells All and Burning Words.

New Word City LLC announces the publication of My Days With Harry Truman, a new eBook by New York Times bestselling author Thomas Fleming.

In 1970, Margaret Truman and Fleming spent eight days with her father, President Harry Truman, as part of their research for a biography of the 33rd president of the United States.  Mr. Truman had personally chosen Fleming as Margaret’s collaborator.  He had read and admired his biography of Thomas Jefferson, The Man From Monticello.  Here’s Fleming’s memoir of that amazing time, during which the elder statesman sets the record straight on John Kennedy, Lyndon Johnson, Joseph Stalin, Charles de Gaulle, Douglas MacArthur, the atomic bomb, and, most important, the American presidency.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

We all know the famous national museums of Europe:  the Louvre, Prado, and British Museum.  But more alluring – and entertaining – are the many small, quirky museums that are scattered across the continent.  Visiting them provides a direct link back to an earlier age, Perrottet writes, when travelers sought out Cabinets of Wonders filled with unique art and marvelous relics.
