The New Globalization in an Age of Terror, Big Money, and Economic Crisis
Charles Derber; With a New Foreword by Noam Chomsky
Picador
"The 'basic principle' of this ambitious study is the task of 'reinventing globalization' by 'reinventing democracy.' Interweaving personal experiences around the world with careful analysis of global economic, political, and cultural trends, Derber makes a powerful case for the urgency of this task, and outlines constructive approaches to pursuing it successfully. A provocative and stimulating work, directed to issues of the highest significance."—

The Spirit of Democracy
The Struggle to Build Free Societies Throughout the World
Larry Diamond
St. Martin's Griffin
“Larry Diamond, one of the most preeminent students of democracy today, explains why this system of government remains an achievable goal for most countries around the world, despite recent setbacks in places like Russia and Venezuela.
The Spirit of Democracy
is a worthwhile corrective to America's post-Iraq pessimism about the future of democratic ideals throughout the world.”—

John Adams
The American Presidents Series: The 2nd President, 1797-1801
The American Presidents
John Patrick Diggins; Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr., General Editor
Times Books
"Diggins acquits himself well in the shorter format of the American President series. Like McCullough, he spends time considering Adams in the light of political alter ego Thomas Jefferson, who lived as an aristocrat while speaking as a radical yet unfairly accused his sober-minded, eminently democratic opponent of being Caesar in the making . . . The solid interpretation of events will interest students of the presidency and the early republic."—

Take This Job and Ship It
How Corporate Greed and Brain-Dead Politics Are Selling Out America
Senator Byron L. Dorgan
St. Martin's Griffin/Thomas Dunne Books
"A serious and important book, written by someone who knows as much about the practical workings of the international economy, and the way American legislation and politics shape that economy, as anyone alive. There is nothing slapdash or egotistical about this book . . . You cannot read the book without feeling delight in this resurgence of North Dakota's populist heritage. Even those who disagree with Dorgan's point of view should be glad we have a senator who seeks to create a national dialogue about an issue so essential to American life."—

provides ready access to the insights of recent research, combining analysis with a narrative account of the period.

This Land Is Their Land
Reports from a Divided Nation
Barbara Ehrenreich
A Metropolitan/Holt Paperbacks Book
"Ehrenreich is at her best (and she’s very, very good) when chronicling the outrageous human downside of our economy, the costs it imposes on people who can’t afford a bacon-infused old-fashioned. There’s the hospital worker whose employer garnished her paycheck for an emergency room visit, 'a condition of debt servitude reminiscent of early-20th-century company towns.' There’s the poor man who got himself arrested in order to live more comfortably in prison, because 'we are reaching the point . . . where the largest public housing program in America will be our penitentiary system' . . . A tight and chilling companion volume to

Mirrors of the Unseen
Journeys in Iran
Jason Elliot
Picador
"Elliot reports on the 'double life' of the Persians he meets, who unanimously denounce the ruling mullahs. One insists that you're nobody in Iran if you haven't been imprisoned; another rolls his eyes at the author's obsessive trawling of mosques, protesting, 'People will think I'm with a fanatic.' The book is replete with historical arcana . . . ruminations on the 'turbulent calligraphies' of Islamic architecture, and labyrinthine footnotes . . . Elliot is a travel writer of the old school: untethered to an itinerary, eager to be led astray, and as ardent an observer of the experience of traveling as of his destination."—
