The 9/11 Report
A Graphic Adaptation
Sid Jacobson and Ernie Colón; Foreword by Thomas H. Kean and Lee H. Hamilton
Hill and Wang
"The 130-page
9/11 Report
:
A Graphic Adaptation
. . . arguably places the attacks in context better than any nonpictorial book could, or any film or television show has done so far. And in the simple visual retelling of the written report's results, it carries a profound emotional impact that is disarming . . . Perhaps most important, the
9/11 Report: A Graphic Adaptation
takes a document that is more than 500 pages long and often difficult to penetrate and makes it accessible to a much wider audience—tightening the narrative and increasing the spectacle without the fictionalization . . . The finished product is so solid that Sept. 11 commission Chairman Thomas Kean went from skepticism about a Sept. 11 report comic book to writing the foreword."—

The Girl from Purple Mountain
Love, Honor, War, and One Family's Journey from China to America
May-lee Chai and Winberg Chai
St. Martin's Griffin/Thomas Dunne Books
"This is an intricately orchestrated cross-generational memoir, and one that is particularly successful in linking the world of China in the first half of the twentieth century to the opportunities and ambiguities of those Chinese who grew up as Americans. It is a subtle book that resonates in the mind as well as being a true family history that spans moods and generations."—

The Monks of Tibhirine
Faith, Love, and Terror in Algeria
John W. Kiser
St. Martin's Griffin
"Kiser is the first American to have told the full story . . . What makes this book so unusual and yet useful for students is the way the author has combined solid research and profound analysis with compelling writing and personal engagement in the story. It is part mystery, part love story and part historical journalism of a very high order. There are precious few such books on the market.
The Monks of Tibhirine
brings together history, politics and stories of faith that is lived amid fear and violence in a style that is dramatic, inspiring and extremely educational. In this sense it is an excellent tool for teaching students about the Muslim world in which religion infuses life . . . This is an extraordinary story of the meeting of two peoples within the Abrahamic tradition who believed that, the violence notwithstanding, the destiny of all of them was to live together joined in charity and friendship. Kiser's book, as history and witness to faith, would be a valuable companion for many courses on religious studies, history and cultural studies of the Arab and Muslim worlds, but most of all for courses that seek to advance Christian Muslim understanding. I am going to be using it for my religion and conflict resolution course and am also recommending it as well to the Middle Eastern studies department."—

The World Is Flat 3.0
A Brief History of the Twenty-first Century
Thomas L. Friedman
Picador
Updated and Expanded Edition
"
The World Is Flat
continues the franchise Friedman has made for himself as a great explicator of and cheerleader for globalization, building upon his 1999
The Lexus and the Olive Tree
. Like its predecessor, this book showcases Friedman's gift for lucid dissections of abstruse economic phenomena, his teacher's head, his preacher's heart, his genius for trend-spotting . . . [This book] also shares some of the earlier volume's excitement (mirroring Rajesh Rao's) and hesitations about whether we're still living in an era dominated by old-fashioned states or in a postmodern, globalized era where states matter far less and the principal engine of change is a leveled playing field for international trade."—
