With clear graphics and easy-to-digest text, the package helps readers understand their impact in three areas (energy, water, solid waste) and suggests useful tips, interesting products and DIY projects for them.

Know Your Footprint: Energy (June)
Know Your Footprint: Water (September)
Know Your Footprint: Waste (December)

LEISURE INTERESTS: New York
New York’s “Cartography,” dishes up a field guide to the city’s sidewalk food. Ranging from Jackson Heights to Fifth Avenue and from halal lamb to, yes, hot dogs, the package offers not just a review of street treats and secret sauces, but also a fascinating insight into the lives and craft of the city’s pushcart purveyors.
Cartography: The Complete Road Map to New York City Street Food (June 25)

REPORTING: National Geographic
In “China’s Instant Cities,” reporter Peter Hessler recreates the entrepreneurial frenzy behind China’s dramatic economic growth. He combines exhaustive on-the-ground reporting with meticulous research and analysis to tell a story that is sweeping in its reach, authentically engaging and dramatic on multiple levels, from the personal lives of the factory workers and bosses to the macro-economic forces transforming this province with cranes, highways, factories and dams almost overnight.
China’s Instant Cities (June)

PUBLIC INTEREST: The Nation
Starting with a hunch, Joshua Kors discovered that Jon Town, a Purple Heart-winning army specialist seriously injured in Iraq, was one of 22,500 veterans denied medical and disability benefits by being given a “Chapter 5-13 personality discharge.” Reform followed: affected vets received back benefits and 5-13 diagnoses were suspended.

FEATURE WRITING: Atlanta
Without a trace of false sentimentality, Paige Williams tells the stop-you-in-your-tracks tale of a teenager who survived a war, lost her entire family, fled two continents and wound up in Atlanta, where she is helped in her claim on a bright future by an unlikely network of “angels,” including a middle class family and an indefatigable immigration attorney who plucks her case from obscurity.
You Have Thousands of Angels Around You (October)

PROFILE WRITING: Vanity Fair
Evan Wright’s proposed Vanity Fair profile of a failed Hollywood agent turned documentary film maker morphed into a 23,000 word monster of an article chronicling his subject’s harrowing but frequently amusing descent into drugs, madness, violence and, improbably, his resurrection as a hero of the pro-war right. “Pat Dollard’s War on Hollywood” is a cautionary tale about what happens when Hollywood meets Baghdad.
Pat Dollard’s War on Hollywood (March)

COLUMNS and COMMENTARY: Rolling Stone
Layering telling anecdotes beneath a veneer of gonzo brio, Matt Taibbi constructs some of the most insightful political profiles of the day. Brash, unmerciful, and extremely prescient, Taibbi’s prose has matured and deepened without growing safe or stodgy.

Her work in The Atlantic is an example of criticism at its best--thoughtful and bracingly honest, filled with humor and empathy, and free of clichés or political correctness.

The Sanguine Sex (May)
Babes in the Woods (July/August)
No Girlfriend of Mine (November)

PHOTO PORTFOLIO: Vanity Fair
With great ambition, Vanity Fair stages a dramatic, epic portfolio for its annual Hollywood issue. Inspired by the noir films of the 40s and 50s, photographer Annie Leibovitz gathers a blockbuster cast of modern-day film icons and places them in famous scenes of films past. The conscious choice of color, and the expert use of lighting to spotlight the subjects and create a mood, captures the glamour of old Hollywood.
Killers Kill, Dead Men Die: A 2007 Hollywood Portfolio (March)

FICTION: Harper's
From “Death of the Pugilist,” the gripping tale of a 19th century boxing match told in dazzling prose, and “Fiction,” a story of marriage and cross-generational regret, to “A Report on Our Recent Troubles,” a satire about a suburban town whose residents won’t stop killing themselves, Harper’s showcases the myriad experiments in style and substance by today’s leading short-fiction writers.
