Obamanomics
How Bottom-Up Economic Prosperity Will Replace Trickle-Down Economics John R. Talbott
Bestselling author John R. Talbott, widely regarded as one of the first to predict the current housing and mortgage crisis, turns his attention to the economic possibilities achievable under an Obama presidency. Global warming, lobbying reform, poverty, healthcare, global wars, terrorism, education, housing and banking reform, and energy and water shortages—these are complex global problems that Talbott argues cannot be left to the free market business world or governments to solve.

Girl Boy Girl
How I Became JT LeRoy Savannah Knoop
The JT LeRoy scandal is a story of our times. In January 2006, the New York Times unmasked Savannah Knoop as the face of the mysterious author JT LeRoy. A media frenzy ensued as JT's fans, mentors, and readers came to terms with the fact that the gay-male-ex-truck-stop-prostitute-turned literary-wunderkind was really a girl from San Francisco, whose sister-in-law wrote the books.
Girl Boy Girl is the story of how Savannah Knoop led this bizarre double life for six years, trading a precarious existence as a college dropout for a life in which she was embraced by celebrities and artists and traveled the world. Telling her side of the story for the first time, Savannah reveals how being perceived as a boy gave her a sense of confidence and entitlement she never had before.
"Not only is it the finest first novel I have read in many years, but it is, quite simply, one of the most original and brilliantly executed works of fiction by any contemporary writer I know of. "
-Paul Auster
"Recalls the most disturbing moments in Marguerite Duras's work . . . [A] strange, sinister and compelling
novel. "
-Financial Times
"With an extraordinary sense of the mechanisms of love and the empathy of a saint for the human race, Céline Curiol gives us the most original and the best new book of the year."
-Marie Claire
Voice Over Céline Curiol Foreword by Paul Auster

Mindful Economics
How the US Economy Works, Why it Matters, and How it Could be DifferentJoel Magnuson
"An excellent guide to one of the most deliberately mystified fields of human endeavor. If you ever wondered what all those words and concepts mean, this is the book to turn to."
-Doug Henwood
"Joel Magnuson notes an irreconcilable conflict between capitalist financial growth and environmental sustainability. He finds hope, however, in a kind of evolutionary socialism that he calls Mindful Economics. How lucky for us if politicians picked up this book. . . . Then they may even help us save the planet."
-Barbara Garson
"A lovely and provocative introduction to American capitalism that I wish every American would read."
-Robert W. McChesney
When you're ready to take a big leap beyond Freakonomics, strap yourself in for Rogue-o-nomics, Loretta Napoleoni’s devilishly enjoyable journey into the money veins of the new global order—from sex slavery to fad-diet slavery. . . . It is truly, an incredibly original work. -Greg Palast, author of The Best Democracy Money Can Buy

10,000 Dresses
Marcus Ewert
Illustrated by Rex Ray
"I love this book. If I had this book growing up, I might have felt better about my dress-wearing habit. "
-Isaac Mizrahi
"In the tradition of Charlotte Zolotow's classic children’s book, William’s Doll, 10,000 Dresses is a wonderful story about staying true to oneself. . . . Three cheers for Bailey, whose creativity and artistic vision will inspire readers of all ages to celebrate exactly who they are."
-Lesléa Newman, author of Heather has Two Mommies
"Hidden History is a benchmark in 9-11 research; a serious reference volume that does not peddle vacuous theory, but instead offers up facts to be considered, and places 9-11 within a historical and social context that differs radically from the Official Story."
- Guerilla News Network
How much insider trading occurred in the days leading up to 9-11? How compromised is the evidence against alleged hijackers? Why were there no military interceptions? To what extent does the testimony of more than five hundred firefighters differ from official reports of what happened at the World Trade Center buildings that day? How inseparably connected are Western covert operations to al-Qaeda? How is Islamophobia used to sustain US imperialism? What was the 9-11 Commission?
