100 Ways America Is Screwing Up The World

BY JOHN TIRMAN
At once serious-minded and satirical, John Tirman's 100 Ways America Is Screwing Up the World is an insightful, unabashed, entertaining, and distressing look at where we've gone terribly wrong-from the destruction of the environment to the promotion of abhorrent personal health and eating habits to the "wussification" of the free press-an alternately admonishing and amusing call to arms for patriotic Blue America.

118 Days

Christian Peacemaker Teams Held Hostage In Iraq

EDITED BY TRICIA GATES BROWN
On November 26, 2005, Christian Peacemaker Teams (CPT) members Tom Fox and Jim Loney along with delegation members Norman Kember and Harmeet Sooden were kidnapped in Iraq. Tom Fox was killed on March 9, 2006. Jim, Norman and Harmeet were freed two weeks later on March 23 after 118 days of captivity. The kidnapping of these four peacemakers was like a rock thrown into a pond. This collection describes the ripples on the water, the impact and results of that rock, in stories characterized by hope, courage, friendship, and forgiveness. Also included is a chapter entitled, "Tom Fox: a Profile of an Ordinary Man's Calling to an Extraordinary Life" by Selby McCash and Johannes Williams.

EDITED BY HENRY FRENCH
Drawing from his published works, editor Henry French selects 40 passages from Palmer's writings that reflect Palmer's spiritual journey and invites readers to explore their own spirituality under the guidance of this noted author. When the 40-day journey is over, it will no longer be the guide's description of the journey that stirs the reader's longing for God, but rather the reader's experience of the journey that grounds her or his faith and life. The book contains a short introduction to Parker Palmer's life and offers forty chapters, which include readings from his writings, Scripture passages, queries, journal-reflection exercises, and prayer.

A Crime So Monstrous

Face-to-face With Modern-day Slavery

BY E. BENJAMIN SKINNER, FOREWORD BY RICHARD HOLBROOKE
There are more slaves in the world today than at any time in history. With years of reporting in such places as Haiti, Sudan, India, Eastern Europe, The Netherlands, and even suburban America, he has produced a vivid testament and moving reportage on one of the worst evils of our time. "A great storyteller, Skinner brings the whole underworld of traffickers and their victims to life. At the same time, he shows how complex the phenomenon really is, and why the solutions of would-be abolitionists in this country have proven misguided or simply futile." -- Frances Fitzgerald

Abby Hopper Gibbons

Prison Reformer And Social Activist

BY MARGARET HOPE BACON
"Although not so well known as reformers like Lucretia Mott and Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Abby Hopper Gibbons was an important advocate for women's causes in the 19th century. Born into a socially conscious Quaker family, Gibbons was an abolitionist and then a nurse in the Civil War. Later, as times and issues changed, she decided not to work with the growing suffragist movement but to focus on the less prominent cause of improving the lives of women prisoners." - Library Jounrnal

Affluenza

The All-consuming Epidemic, Revised Edition

BY JOHN DEGRAFF, DAVID WANN, THOMAS NAYLOR
Affluenza uses the whimsical metaphor of a disease to tackle a very serious subject: the damage done - to our health, our families, our communities, and our environment - by the obsessive quest for material gain. In cleverly titled chapters like "Swollen Expectations" and "A Rash of Bankruptcies," the authors examine the origins, evolution, and symptoms of the affluenza epidemic. Yet they also explore cures and suggest strategies for rebuilding families and communities and for restoring and respecting the earth.

The Age Of Possibility

BY CARRIE NEWCOMER
No one quality attracts a listener to Carrie Newcomer. Rather it is the sum of her talents - some flashingly apparent, some almost indiscreet - they come together and create a work of immense depth, great warmth, and a slow-burn intensity. Armed with keen eyes for detail and keen ears for harmony, Newcomer's performances are always evocative, thought provoking, and moving. The Age of Possibility is the culmination of years of writing, touring, and - most importantly - living. Liner Notes by Barbara Kingsolver.
