Forthcoming
With Al Gore‘s new film An Inconvenient Sequel opening the Sundance Film Festival tonight, Rodale announced that they will publish the companion book later this year. Timed to the broad release of the movie from Paramount, spring publication is likely but the date will not be set until the film’s rollout is finalized. The book “will recount and contextualize the critical issues and moments in the climate change movement since the release of An Inconvenient Truth more than 10 years ago, while highlighting the real solutions we have at hand.”

Holt will publish a new book from Bill O’Reilly — co-authored by humorist Bruce Feirstein — on March 28: OLD SCHOOL: Life In The Sane Lane. The book looks at the culture wars over values, comparing TV personality O’Reilly’s “old school” approach to Feirstein’s Snowflake, Hollywood values. (Update: The publisher says that together O’Reilly and Feirstein are on the same side as they “compare ‘old school’ to Snowflake values.”)
