Hachette's New Books



John Stewart wants to do for the Earth what he has already done for America.

Conquer it.

New from Hachette is EARTH (The book). Subtitled "A visitor's guide to the Human Race," this book is sure to delight Stewart's millions of fans throughout the, uh, planet.

From the publisher website:

The eagerly awaited new book from the Emmy-winning, Oscar-hosting, Daily Show-anchoring Jon Stewart--the man behind the megaseller America (The Book). Where do we come from? Who created us? Why are we here? These questions have puzzled us since the dawn of time, but when it became apparent to Jon Stewart and the writers of The Daily Show that the world was about to end, they embarked on a massive mission to write a book that summed up the human race: What we looked like; what we accomplished; our achievements in society, government, religion, science and culture -- all in a tome of approximately 256 pages with lots of color photos, graphs and charts.

After two weeks of hard work, they had their book. EARTH (The Book) is the definitive guide to our species. With their trademark wit, irreverence, and intelligence, Stewart and his team will posthumously answer all of life's most hard-hitting questions, completely unburdened by objectivity, journalistic integrity, or even accuracy.


Also new from Hachette:

TATTOOS & TEQUILA by Vince Neil: To Hell and Back With One of Rock's Most Notorious Frontmen -- Take your craziest sex, drugs, and rock 'n' roll fantasy, multiply it by a thousand, and you still won't be anywhere near the realm of Vince Neil—the legendary hell-raiser and the lead singer of Motley Crue, the world's most notorious rock band.

C STEET: The Fundamentalist Threat to American Democracy by Jeff Sharlet -- The
