No!

BY DAVID MCPHAIL
The word "No" repeated three times is the only thing said in this otherwise wordless book that speaks volumes. A young boy sets out to deliver a letter and witnesses acts of war along his way, both on the personal level, and on a world-wide scale. At a time when our country is at war, NO! is a touching example of resistance and alternatives to conflict told through heart-wrenching illustrations from David McPhail at his very best. "The idea of taking effective action without fighting is a powerful one, and children and adults alike will find that McPhail's images linger." - Publishers Weekly

No English

BY JACQUELINE JULES
"No English" is all that Blanca, the new girl from Argentina, says. She spends her time drawing pictures instead of doing class work, and that hardly seems fair to second-grader Diane. One misunderstanding follows another until Diane begins to see how afraid Blanca must feel in their classroom. Their teacher, Mrs. Bertram, helps her class understand that "different" is just different, not strange or weird. She encourages the students to learn about Blanca's home country. Diane must make things right, but how will she do that when they don't speak the same language?

No Extraordinary Power

Prayer, Stillness And Activism - The 2005 Swarthmore Lecture

BY HELEN STEVEN
The answer to prayer may be quite simply, "What are you going to do about it?" Faced with something they believe must be changed, people can find themselves able to accomplish the unexpected. In dangerous times when so much is at risk or destroyed, the power of ordinary people can "reconstitute the world", as the poet Adrienne Rich has put it. And yet this is apparently beyond our own resources. Helen Steven asks: Do we have access through prayer and action to some kind of "extra-ordinary" power beyond ourselves, or is our power for action well within the experience of everyone, with only our deeper spiritual nature to make it "extra-ordinary"?

No One Is Illegal

Fighting Racism And State Violence On The U.s.-mexico Border

BY JUSTIN AKERS CHACON, MIKE DAVIS
No One Is Illegal debunks the leading ideas behind the often violent right-wing backlash against immigrants. Countering the chorus of anti-immigrant voices, Mike Davis and Justin Akers Chacon expose the racism of anti-immigration vigilantes and put a human face on the immigrants who risk their lives to cross the border to work in the United States. Davis and Akers Chacon challenge the racist politics of vigilante groups like the Minutemen, and argue for a pro-immigrant and pro-worker agenda that recognizes the urgent need for international solidarity and cross-border alliances in building a renewed labor movement.

No Shame, No Fear - Paperback

BY ANN TURNBULL
British children's author Ann Turnbull has written a new young adult novel of young love in the 17th century. The romance is between a Quaker servant, Susanna, and a merchant's son, Will, and the book is written in chapters alternating from Will to Susanna's perspective, so the reader gets a sense of how each sees the other and of how the families view each of them as well. During Will and Susanna's romance and Will's convincement to Quakerism, the Conventicle Act is passed banning all religious meetings except Anglican church services. The novel authentically portrays the ensuing persecution and Will and Susanna's struggle with their communities and their faith.

Noah's Ark

BY JERRY PINKNEY
"Pinkney unfurls some of the finest illustrations of his career in this lush, not-to-be-missed version of the perenially popular Bible story. In unfettered, graceful prose, Pinkney relates Noah's faithful work in building the ship and gathering the animals. He enhances the smoothly rendered plot with simple, evocative detail....These crowded but never chaotic scenes, as well as those depicting whales in implicit comparison with the ark, will help children grasp the magnitude of the story's message of faith, stewardship and obedience."-Publisher's Weekly (Ages 5-8)

Nobody Gonna Turn Me 'round

Stories And Songs Of The Civil Rights Movement

BY DOREEN RAPPAPORT, ILLUSTRATED BY SHANE W. EVANS
Author Doreen Rappaport uses true accounts to put readers in the shoes of extraordinary people who risked everything to fight the epidemic of racism during the civil rights era. Moses Wright testified against the white men who stood accused of Till's murder. Nine black teenagers in Little Rock, Arkansas, dared to attend a newly integrated high school. James Lawson trained activists not to fight back, no matter how many insults or billy clubs rained down on them. Throughout ten turbulent years, black southerners filled jails and public places with the songs and the strength passed down to them by their ancestors, who knew too well what it meant to be chained.

Nonkilling Global Political Science

BY GLENN PAIGE
Probably the first book to have the word "nonkilling" in its title. It invites all who study political science throughout the world and other concerned readers to consider seriously the question, "Is a nonkilling society possible?" The book proceeds to offer grounds for taking such a possibility seriously, and explores the implications of such an assumption for political science, for global problem-solving, and for needed new transitional institutions. The author was in the Korean war, were he did kill, and these ideas come from his repentance for that.

Nonviolence - The History Of A Dangerous Idea

BY MARK KURLANSKY
From the prize-winning, "New York Times" bestselling author comes a provocative history that persuasively argues that even the Revolutionary War, the Civil War, and World War II could have been avoided by nonviolent means. Nonviolence is a sweeping yet concise history that moves from ancient Hindu times to present-day conflicts raging in the Middle East and elsewhere. Kurlansky also brings into focus just why nonviolence is a "dangerous" idea, and asks such provocative questions as: Is there such a thing as a "just war"? Could nonviolence have worked against even the most evil regimes in history? Now in paperback.
