Paperback. Condición: Good. Hillary Clinton is running for the presidency with a message of hope and change. But, as Doug Henwood makes clear in this concise, devastating indictment, little trust can be placed in her campaign promises. Rigorously reviewing her record, Henwood shows how Clinton's positions on key issues have always blown with the breeze of expediency, though generally around an axis of moralism and hawkishness. Without a meaningful program other than a broad fealty to the status quo, the case for Hillary boils down to this: she has experience, she's a woman, and it's her turn.…

Paperback. Condición: Good. 16 years went into the making of the forthcoming feature film Long Walk To Freedom, a fictionalised biopic based on Mandela's bestselling autobiography.

Paperback. Condición: Good. In the tradition of James Baldwin's Notes of a Native Son, Paul Robeson, Jr melds history and analysis in a sweeping panorama, scathing in its understanding of why black empowerment has failed and prescient in its articulation of what it will take for black Americans to finally cross over to the status of fully empowered citizens and what the ramifications of this change can be for the US as a whole.…

Hardback. Condición: Good. What makes a good doctor? It's not what you think. A doctor willing to face their own uncertainty in the face of illness and treatment might just be the best medicine. Too often we choose the wrong doctor for the wrong reasons. It doesn't have to be that way. In The Good Doctor, Ken Brigham, MD, and Michael M.E. Johns, MD, argue that we need to change the way we think about health care if we want to be the healthiest we can be. Counterintuitive as it may seem, uncertainty is integral to medicine, and you want a doctor who knows that: someone who sees you as the unique case you are, someone who knows that data isn't everything, someone who is able to change her mind as the information changes. For too long we've clung to the myth of the infallible doctor- one who assuredly tells us this is what's wrong and here is how I will cure you - and our health has suffered for it. Brigham and Johns propose a new model of medicine, one that is comfortable with ambiguity and that centers on an equal partnership between patient and doctor. Uncertainty, properly embraced, opens a new universe of possibilities.…

Paperback. Condición: Very Good. A wry, and at the same time dark and risk-taking, story collection that pushes the boundaries of transgender awareness and filial bonds. Here is the hate between 16-year-old Junie, who is transitioning, and their mum's boyfriend Chad when the family moves into Chad's house on Lake Erie. And here is the love being tested between Sawyer and his dad, who named his boat after his child and resists changing it from Sara to Sawyer now. These stories enter lands that are violent and comfortless, testing the limits of what it means to be human, sometimes returning stronger and wiser and sometimes not returning at all.…

Paperback. Condición: Good. A new collection from the great American poet in his 96th year.

Pulitzer prize winning Washington Post columnist Art Buchwald's satirical voice darts at politicians, power and the media without pause.

Hardback. Condición: Fair. Atticus Peale is desperately trying to save the life of a dog in the animal shelter where she volunteers. And an alligator in the swamp who only allegedly tried to eat a fisherman. Her father named her after his favourite character, a lawyer in a famous book, but everyone calls her Atty, and no one, except her dad, stepmom, and stepbrother, thinks she's old enough to make a legal case for those who, as Atty points out, can't speak up for themselves. She's learning some law basics from her dad, who is defending an illiterate man in town on a murder charge. But when strange occurrences begin to threaten Atty's efforts, she isn't sure which is more difficult: coming to the defence of the voiceless, countering the sideways looks she and her biracial family get in their Alabama town, or navigating the social scene of middle school.…

Hardback. Condición: Very Good. Atticus T. Peale - Atty for short - is thirteen and a self-described advocate for animals. She's also a vegetarian atheist in the heart of the Deep South's bible belt, where ribs and guns and church are a way of life, and euthanizing animals is just the way they've always dealt with strays. Having already been to court to save her dog Easy, Atty spends a lot of her free time designing plans for a no-kill-shelter in her small Alabama town while juggling school work, hanging out with her best friend Reagan, and battling 'the blues.' But when Atty meets a mysterious boy at the county fair, her world begins to crumble. As it becomes increasingly clear that this boy - with his wild hair and rough hands - works with a captive animal, Atty must choose between her own values and the boy she's fallen for. Atty in Love is about the tough choices that arise when two principled people disagree. It is also a story about what it means to, as Atty likes to say, 'contain multitudes' - to love both men and women, to defend your mixed-race family in the American South, to care for someone who experiences the world in fundamentally different ways than you do. Tender and laugh-out-loud funny, the book includes an interview with the Harvard Animal Law and Policy Clinic's real-life animal law expert Katherine Meyer.…

Hardback. Condición: Good. Irreverent and hopeful, Solitude & Company recounts the life of a boy from the provinces who decided to become a writer.

The book is divided into two parts and gathers together the voices around the boy from the provinces, the sisters and brothers, the childhood friends, the drinking buddies and penniless fellow students, fellow writers, agents and translators. …

Paperback. Condición: Very Good. Until the first Democratic presidential debate on 26 April 2007, former Alaskan senator Mike Gravel campaigned in almost total obscurity. All that changed with a few provocative remarks he made from the debate stand. The response to his performance from the media overwhelmed his shoestring campaign. In this candid, anecdotal portrait, presidential candidate Gravel expounds on his views of the military-industrial complex, the imperial presidency, post-war US foreign policy and corporate America.…

Hardback. Condición: Very Good. Hugo Horiot was an angry autistic child with Asperger syndrome who refused to speak for the first years of his life and only escaped institutionalisation because his mother decided, controversially, to educate and care for him herself. Today, the storm of autism has passed and Hugo has become a peaceful and highly functioning adult. In this book, he now returns to his childhood, to his experiences, his tantrums, obsessions, furies, and to give a voice to a child who had cut himself off from the world. This is a true story, a literary and startling testimony.…

Hardback. Condición: Good. How do we create a universe of truthful and verifiable information, available to everyone? InThe New Enlightenment and the Fight to Free Knowledge, MIT Open Learning's Peter B. Kaufman describes the powerful forces that have purposely crippled our efforts to share knowledge widely and freely. Popes and their inquisitors, emperors and their hangmen, commissars and their secret police-throughout history, all have sought to stanch the free flow of information. Kaufman writes of times when the Bible could not be translated-you'd be burned for trying; when dictionaries and encyclopedias were forbidden; when literature and science and history books were trashed and pulped-sometimes along with their authors; and when efforts to develop public television and radio networks were quashed by private industry. In the 21st century, the enemies of free thought have taken on new and different guises-giant corporate behemoths, sprawling national security agencies, gutted regulatory commissions. Bereft of any real moral compass or sense of social responsibility, their work to surveil and control us are no less nefarious than their 16th- and 18th- and 20th- century predecessors. They are all part of what Kaufman calls the Monsterverse. The New Enlightenment and the Fight to Free Knowledgemaps out the opportunities to mobilize for the fight ahead of us. With the Internet and other means of media production and distribution-video especially-at hand, knowledge institutions like universities, libraries, museums, and archives have a special responsibility now to counter misinformation, disinformation, and fake news-and especially efforts to control the free flow of information. A film and video producer and former book publisher, Kaufman begins to draft a new social contract for our networked video age. He draws his inspiration from those who fought tooth and nail against earlier incarnations of the Monsterverse-including William Tyndale in the 16th century; Denis Diderot in the 18th; untold numbers of Soviet and Central and East European dissidents in the 20th-many of whom paid the ultimate price. Their successors? Advocates of free knowledge like Aaron Swartz, of free software like Richard Stallman, of an enlightened public television and radio network like James Killian, of a freer Internet like Tim Berners-Lee, of fuller rights and freedoms like Edward Snowden. All have been striving to secure for us a better world, marked by the right balance between state, society, and private gain. The concluding section of the book, its largest piece, builds on their work, drawing up a progressive agenda for how today's free thinkers can band together now to fight and win. With everything shut and everyone going online,The New Enlightenment and the Fight to Free Knowledgeis a rousing call to action that expands the definition of what it means to be a citizen in the 21st century.…
