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."—

Anne Frank

"It is important to me to teach about the Holocaust in a way that puts it into historical context, portrays how brutal it actually was, and makes it personal, all at the same time.

, does all of this in one compelling, hard-to-put-down volume . . . My challenge as a teacher . . . is always to find the most engaging resources and to make them accessible to my students.

The Bitten
Vampire Huntress Legends
#4
L. A. Banks
St. Martin's Griffin
"I highly recommend Banks' Vampire Huntress Series for use in courses ranging from high school to college. I have used this series as recommended reading for my graduate students in Women's Studies and they cannot stop talking about these works. Banks' writing is smart, poignant, and engaging. Students aren't able to put the books down. Each novel in the series brims with social critique and commentary. Banks is a perceptive writer who provides a wonderful critique of societal issues, from the impact of drugs to self-responsibility and self-reliance to the choices we all make in life. Students who engage in the work of L. A. Banks will leave the classroom with sharper critical thinking skills and a newfound joy of reading."—

Charles and Emma
The Darwins' Leap of Faith
Deborah Heiligman
Henry Holt and Co.
"In this courtship and marriage biography, the author examines an unlikely but powerful bond between cousins, the
Origins of the Species
scientist and the religious devotee love of his life. Beginning with Darwin's 'to marry or not to marry' pro/con lists through Emma editing Charles' autobiography so that it would be less 'offensive,' the couple provided for each other sounding board, respected opposition, and beloved soulmate . . . The volume provides a unique blend of romance, scientific observations, explanations of medical practices prevalent in the early-nineteenth century, and opportunities to examine scientific discoveries and religious beliefs in detail."—

A Long Way Gone
Memoirs of a Boy Soldier
Ishmael Beah
Sarah Crichton Books
"What is it about African wars that is so disturbing? Why do they unsettle us so? . . . The great benefit of Ishmael Beah's memoir,
A Long Way Gone
, is that it may help us arrive at an understanding of this situation. Beah's autobiography is almost unique, as far as I can determine—perhaps the first time that a child soldier has been able to give literary voice to one of the most distressing phenomena of the late 20th century: the rise of the pubescent (or even prepubescent) warrior-killer . . .
A Long Way Gone
is his first, remarkable book. . . . Beah's memoir joins an elite class of writing: Africans witnessing African wars . . .
A Long Way Gone
makes you wonder how anyone comes through such unrelenting ghastliness and horror with his humanity and sanity intact. Unusually, the smiling, open face of the author on the book jacket provides welcome and timely reassurance. Ishmael Beah seems to prove it can happen."—
