In Taking America Back, Joseph Farah provides readers with an opportunity to better understand the root causes of America's political and social decline. He also tells how the founders' vision for America is still appropriate for today's postmodern world. Farah encourages Americans to rededicate themselves to constitutional government and the moral principles on which this country was founded. Taking America Back is about more than just how to think about the problems overwhelming our country; it is also about what to do to make them right.

Talking to Myself is a very different kind of memoir. It cuts across worlds, across years, across the vast spectrum of people that Terkel has known, from workers to famous stars, from Nobel Prize winners to ordinary folk. In recounting his own life, Terkel uses some of the methods that have made his radio programs so famous. He cuts from a visit to Chief Luthuli in South Africa to a memoir of the McCarthy period, from growing up among the petty gangsters of Chicago in the thirties to confronting the bigger gangsters of our political life in the sixties, from acting in a radio soap opera to discussing film with Fellini. The book is, can we say, studded with marvelous anecdotes, high (and low) adventure, moments that are unexpectedly hilarious or… Read More

When Dr. Tom More is released on parole from state prison, he returns to Feliciana, Louisiana, the parish where he was born and bred, where he practiced psychiatry before his arrest. He immediately notices something strange in almost everyone around him: unusual sexual behavior in women patients, a bizarre loss of inhibition, his own wife's extraordinary success at bridge tournaments, during which her mind seems to function like a computer. With the ingenious help of his attractive cousin, Dr. Lucy Lipscomb, Dr. More begins to uncover a criminal experiment to improve people's behavior by drugging the area's water supply. But beyond this grand scheme are activities so sinister that even Tom More wouldn't believe them if he hadn't witnessed them with his own eyes....

NY: Harper & Brothers, 1946. 1ST. HARDBOUOND. GOOD in NONE jacket. pp. 304. Merriman Smith ruled the WH Press Corps with firmness and fairness. At the time of his tenure, the reporters assigned to cover the president were required to adhere to an unwritten rule not to embarrass the president or his family. Smith saw to it that this was accomplished. He was the liaison between the WH Press Office and the reporters. Watergate coverage abolished this once and for all. Everything is fair game now. The reporters now can dig into the personal life of the first family and expose any thing that is real or imagined. This book reveals the way Smith and the other reporters covered 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. up to the late 60s.

In This Changes Everything Naomi Klein argues that climate change isn't just another issue to be neatly filed between taxes and health care. It's an alarm that calls us to fix an economic system that is already failing us in many ways. Klein meticulously builds the case for how massively reducing our greenhouse emissions is our best chance to simultaneously reduce gaping inequalities, re-imagine our broken democracies, and rebuild our gutted local economies. She exposes the ideological desperation of the climate-change deniers, the messianic delusions of the would-be geoengineers, and the tragic defeatism of too many mainstream green initiatives.
