The Global Scramble for the World's Last Resources
Michael T. Klare

Fences and Windows
Dispatches from the Front Lines of the Globalization Debate
Naomi Klein
Picador
"Covering the period of late 1999 to 2002, the book collects Klein's in-the-trenches journalism about sweatshops, genetically modified foods, evolving police tactics for crowd control and more . . . Klein argues that globalization has only delivered its promised benefits to the world's wealthiest citizens and that its emphasis on privatization has eroded the availability of public services around the globe. Critics have suggested that the 'anti-globalization' movement (a term loathed, Klein notes, by many people actually involved) lacks a cohesive structure, but Klein generally sees this decentralization as a strength, likening the small groups' 'hub and spoke' organization to that of linked Web sites . . . Despite post-September 11 talk to the contrary, these dispatches indicate that the movement is far from over."—

The Shock Doctrine
The Rise of Disaster Capitalism
Naomi Klein
Picador
“
The Shock Doctrine
is Klein’s ambitious look at the economic history of the last 50 years and the rise of free-market fundamentalism around the world . . . Klein provides a rich description of the political machinations required to force unsavory economic policies on resisting countries, and the human toll. She paints a disturbing portrait of hubris, not only on the part of Friedman but also of those who adopted his doctrines, sometimes to pursue more corporatist objectives. It is striking to be reminded how many of the people involved in the Iraq war were involved earlier in other shameless episodes in United States foreign policy history.”—

Fighting for Air
The Battle to Control America's Media
Eric Klinenberg
Holt Paperbacks
"A riveting look into every part of what is called the 'media ecosystem,' which includes the Internet as well as newspapers, radio and television. Klinenberg grounds all of his reporting in human terms and gives concrete examples of what happens when too few own too much and, worse, control what information will be disseminated to the people. He also wisely includes news of the victories being achieved by media activists."—

Blur
How to Know What's True in the Age of Information Overload
Bill Kovach Tom Rosenstiel
Bloomsbury USA
“
Blur
is an impassioned and practical brief for what its authors call ‘verification’—the effort by journalists and others who publicly exchange information about public affairs to examine evidence and test the truth value of the assertions they and others are making. It argues persuasively for the virtues of traditional journalism without in any way resisting the sweeping changes the Internet has brought to the profession. It’s hard to imagine a more urgently necessary task, for journalism and for democratic societies, than the one Kovach and Rosenstiel have taken on.”—

Whose Freedom?
The Battle over America's Most Important Idea
George Lakoff
Picador
"For Lakoff, [George W.] Bush's idea of freedom is deeply problematic—antithetical, in fact, to the 'progressive freedom' that Lakoff argues has defined America and made it great. This progressive definition of freedom—the more or less continuous expansion of rights, opportunity and citizen enfranchisement—stood unchallenged for many years. But now, that freedom is 'up for grabs,' and Lakoff is worried: 'To lose freedom is a terrible thing; to lose the idea of freedom is even worse' . . . In a series of chapters on economics, religion, foreign policy and personal freedom, Lakoff compares the implications of the liberal and conservative definitions of freedom . . . Lakoff is right to identify freedom as a concept that liberals need to think about more."—

The Atomic Bazaar
Dispatches from the Underground World of Nuclear Trafficking
William Langewiesche
Farrar, Straus and Giroux Paperbacks
“
The Atomic Bazaar
is an excellent introduction to this most discomfiting topic. It is remarkably comprehensive for a short book, especially given its pacy narrative. Through detailed reporting—from closed nuclear cities in the southern Urals to smuggler trails in Kurdistan—the author corrects many popular misunderstandings about the nuclear business.”—

"With a keen eye for telling detail, a concern for the choices of individual leaders, and careful judgments, Leffler generates a narrative that carries the reader along as it develops important new ideas. This landmark study transcends many of our standard arguments about the Cold War to focus on what it was really about. Driving much of the maneuvering for security and advantage was the struggle over which political system could meet people’s needs and produce a better society."—

Growing Up Fast
Joanna Lipper

"In nearly 400 fast-paced pages of wonderfully evocative prose, much of it in the words of her six subjects, all teen mothers, Lipper has actually conveyed the social and personal history of a growing class of Americans for whom there is little help and less hope. But [these] people [possess] inner lives, and this is what Lipper is so deft at communicating . . . [Her book] will burden the conscience of its readers."—
