Paperback. Condición: Very Good. 2015 B.R.A.G. Medallion Honoree Elmer Hernan Rodriguez Campos offers a peek into a childhood shared by thousands of children born in Central America: marked by hunger, poverty, discrimination, and war. A fantastic storyteller, Elmer recounts his own memories of the place he calls La Costra, (the Scab), a municipal dump at the edge of San Salvador, and his home for the first twelve years of his life, from 1969-1981. He and his older brothers find ways to defy their daily hunger and strife with creativity, humor, and great resilience. Elmer works to understand his generational poverty and the internal and external forces that keep his family downtrodden. As if these troubles were not enough, dead bodies begin to appear in the dump and Elmer's family must struggle to survive a brutal civil war. Readers begin to see life through the eyes of a starving child who is trying to find his place in a world that always seems to be against him. Elmer's description of real hunger and poverty offers incredible insights to those of us who take our basic needs for granted. His challenging observations are intertwined with the innocence of a child who dreams of a different world.…

Paperback. Condición: Very Good. A haunting southern tale of long-buried family secrets by the New York Times bestselling author of Under the Tuscan Sun and Under Magnolia In her celebrated memoirs of life in Tuscany, Frances Mayes writes masterfully about people in a powerful and shaping place. In Swan, her first novel, she has created an equally intimate world, rich with striking characters and intriguing twists of fate, that hearkens back to her southern roots. The Masons are a prominent but now fragmented family who have lived for generations in Swan, an edenic, hidebound small town in Georgia. As Swan opens, a bizarre crime pulls Ginger Mason home from her life as an archeologist in Italy: The body of her mother, Catherine, a suicide nineteen years before, has been mysteriously exhumed. Reunited on new terms with her troubled, isolated brother J.J., who has never ventured far from Swan, the Mason children grapple with the profound effects of their mother's life and death on their own lives. When a new explanation for Catherine's death emerges, and other closely guarded family secrets rise to the surface as well, Ginger and J.J. are confronted with startling truths about their family, a particular ordeal in a family and a town that wants to keep the past buried. Beautifully evoking the rhythms and idiosyncrasies of the deep South while telling an utterly compelling story of the complexity of family ties, Swan marks the remarkable fiction debut of one of America's best-loved writers.…

Paperback. Condición: Good. The history of the twentieth century is most often told through its world wars, the rise and fall of communism, or its economic upheavals. In his startling new book, J. R.

To a degree unprecedented in human history, we have refashioned the earth's air, water, and soil, and the biosphere of which we are a part. Based on exhaustive research, McNeill's story--a compelling blend of anecdotes, data, and shrewd analysis--never preaches: it is our definitive account. This is a volume in The Global Century Series (general editor, Paul Kennedy).…
