Editorial Review Product Description Displaying the intellectual rigor, political passion, and personal empathy that have won him acclaim and fans all across the color line, Michael Eric Dyson offers a searing assessment of the meaning of Hurricane Katrina. With this clarion call Dyson warns us that we can only find redemption as a society if we acknowledge that Katrina was more than an engineering or emergency response failure. What's at stake is no less than the future of democracy. Customer Reviews (28)

Editorial Review Product Description outside, the wind is howling. Everything except for the desperate courage of those who survive that terrifying night. After hours of cowering in the dark with no lights, no warmth, and the terrible noises of the rain and wind pounding on the walls, José walks out his front door and steps into a nightmare. But his nightmare has only begun as he and the few who are left in his small village start to pull their lives back together. Based on Hurricane Mitch's devastation of Honduras in 1998, Terry Trueman's powerful story is about a young boy's fear and courage in the face of a force of nature too huge to even imagine.

Editorial Review Product Description In the span of five violent hours on August 29, 2005, Hurricane Katrina destroyed major Gulf Coast cities and flattened 150 miles of coastline. But it was only the first stage of a shocking triple tragedy. On the heels of one of the three strongest hurricanes ever to make landfall in the United States came the storm-surge flooding, which submerged a half-million homes—followed by the human tragedy of government mismanagement, which proved as cruel as the natural disaster itself. In The Great Deluge, bestselling author Douglas Brinkley finds the true heroes of this unparalleled catastrophe, and lets the survivors tell their own stories, masterly allowing them to record the nightmare that was Katrina.

Almost brand new!
Great book
Good insight into the movement of indian rights!
Very Balanced Story of the Radical Indian Movement AIM It was interesting to note that the authors refer to Sitting Bull as a Oglala Sioux when in fact he was a Hunkpapa Sioux (page 190).
Chaos Reigns This book has a lot of great information about the leadership and it is a excellent reference for learning about the seizure at Alcatraz, the Native American Embassy and the second seige at Wounded Knee.I think my problem with the book was that I had heard of these events for years and had romanticized them and to read the problems AIM faced internally left me surprised and let down. ...

Editorial Review Product Description Carter's saga is rich and complicated, and James Hirsch deservespraise for his balanced treatment. He brings Carter's electrifying andcomplex personality alive without unnecessarily lionizing him,masterfully detailing his transformation from a defiant, intimidatingman known for his dangerous temper and stubborn pride into aenlightened one who defeated despair and unimaginable injustice. Uponincarceration, Carter refused to behave like a guilty man--by defyingthe rules: rejecting prison garb and keeping his jewelry, shunningprison food, and failing to see a parole officer. His defiance earnedhim cruel punishment, but he compelled the rigid, unforgiving systemto come to terms, at least in certain instances. Though he began an earnest study of the law in order to issue his ownappeals, he could not have won his freedom without the astonishingcollective effort of others. After a 1974 front-page story in TheNew York Times revealed his plight, there followed an outpouringof public support that included celebrity endorsements from, amongmany others, Muhammad Ali, Jesse Jackson, and Bob Dylan, whoimmortalized him in the famous song "Hurricane". Though allthe publicity turned Carter into an icon for a time, ultimately it wasthe efforts of a group of enigmatic Canadians and a team of persistentlawyers that helped Carter achieve justice. He lost his family, his boxing career, and 22 years of his life, yetin the end, he refused to allow bitterness to consume him. When thecharges against him were finally dropped in 1988, he spoke at a pressconference: Customer Reviews (45)

Editorial Review Product Description "Brings history to life in a book as readable as any novel." --Good Old Boat On Friday, November 7, 1913, after four days of winds up to 90 miles an hour, whiteout blizzard conditions, and mountainous seas, 19 ships had been lost on the great-lakes, 238 sailors were dead, and Cleveland was confronting the worst natural disaster in its history. David G. Brown combines narrative intensity with factual depth to re-create the "perfect storm" that struck America's heartland. Brown has created a vast epic ranging over Lakes Superior, Michigan, Huron, and Erie and echoing down the decades. Customer Reviews (21)
