Review:Nobody is powerful and stunning in its breadth and depth of analysis. There are many things to be written about the violence that Black and poor bodies face throughout this nation, but only this book could have been written by Marc Lamont Hill. Hill keenly pulls on sociology, legal studies, and myriad other traditions to highlight the common thread of State violence and its influence on the most vulnerable. This book is a must read for those just coming to the topic as well as those well versed ... Read more

Review:Back to Work by Bill Clinton
I highly recommend that everyone, who intends to vote in November 2012, read this timely book. If you are a democrat, Clinton has pulled together the best arguments for a proactive government. He is giving you the tools for persuading undecided voters. If you are a republican, you will be a better informed citizen if you listen to both sides of the debate. If you are an independent, you really do hold the future of our country in your hands. It is especially vital... Read more

Review:For someone who has provided medical care to female prisoners for over twenty-five years there is great insight, both historically and factually, to be gleaned from this "opposite" point of view. All law enforcement and medical people should be required to read this book and contemplate its lesson. It is clearly the best review of the subject I have read. Read more

Review:John does it again and delivers a concise and comprehensive analysis of the work of "Economic Hitmen", as well as how to see the extension and graduation of their work here in the United States. A must read for anyone desirous of peeking behind the curtain of global politics and economics. BUY THIS BOOK!! Read more

Review:As always with Jon Krakauer a wonderful book. Informative, detailed and with whatever he brings up about Mortenson well substantiated. A great story to read made overly pleasant by one of the best writers there is! Read more

Review:This was a good book. I love depressing memoirs and this fit the bill for 80% of the book. I didn't really like that it gave a weird 1/2 foreshadowing at the very beginning then goes all the back so then you know exactly when her parents get deported so you're not really getting into the full shock of it all for her. It wasn't like everyone didn't know, it says it on the book jacket but you otherwise it would have been more in keeping with the trauma of the story. She works hard to achieve her d... Read more
