Alan Cranston: "The Sovereignty Revolution"
"I had the honor for several years of co-chairing the Nuclear Abolition Project with Senator Cranston. He was a gentlemen, yet passionate and articulate about pragmatic steps to world peace. He served at the highest tables of power, and continued to serve all mankind up until his death. When I think controlling nuclear weapons is an overwhelming task, I think of the Senator and his never-ending search for paths to disarmament."
Global attention is now galvanized on the subject of sovereignty, not only in Iraq but also in Kashmir, Israel and Palestine, and numerous other hot spots."

The Daily Show with Jon Stewart Presents America (The Book): A Citizen's Guide to Democracy Inaction
So, Jon Stewart is the dream boyfriend of every smart, progressive, even vaguely heterosexual woman I know. And with good cause. He's not just funny (though he certainly is that); he keeps that eyebrow raised at every loony doing the goes by on the news. Some days, it seems like he's the only media figure who calls out the emperor on his nakedness. Sane. That's what he is. Sane, smart, and did I say funny?
I listened to this book while running, and laughed out loud while I slogged along. What's not to love?
(Plus, as a wee bonus, it actually has some handy info about the government. Go figure.)

Unembedded
I'm continually stunned by how place defines our lives. And how our lives define our place. And how the circumstances stay within their place: I do not hear gunfire; I have hot water; my children have enough to eat.
And so I often wonder about the reality of lives in other places. Some I've seen; most I've not. And the really extreme ones remain unfamiliar.
These days, I wonder what it's like to live in Iraq. Can you walk the streets? Can you find enough food? Can you send your children to school? It's hard to find this information.
So it's wonderful to find actual photos that document this life, this place. It's also frightening, disturbing, and moving. These are stunning photos, and it's a great mission. View and enjoy.

Nuclear Terrorism: The Ultimate Preventable Catastrophe by Graham Allison
"Arguing that the only way to eliminate nuclear terrorism's threat is to lock down the weapons at the source, Allison recommends nothing less than a new international order based on no insecure nuclear material, no new facilities for processing uranium or enriching plutonium and no new nuclear states. Those policies, Allison believes, do not stretch beyond the achievable, if pursued by a combination of quid pro quos and intimidation in an international context of negotiation and a U.S. foreign policy he describes as "humble." A humble policy in turn will facilitate building a world alliance against nuclear terrorism and acquiring the intelligence necessary for success against prospective nuclear terrorists."--Publisher's Weekly

Faith and Feminism: A Holy Alliance
by Helen, Ph.D. Hunt
Why do so many women of faith have such a strong aversion to feminism? And why do so many feminists have an ardent mistrust of religion? These questions are at the heart of Helen LaKelly Hunt's illuminating look at the alliance between spiritual conviction and social action. Intelligent and heartfelt, Faith and Feminism offers a perceptive look at the lives of five spirited and spiritual women of history, women who combined their undying faith with feminist beliefs and who made the world a better place by doing so.

Borderlands: La Frontera
by Gloria Anzaldua, Sonia Saldivar-Hull (Introduction)
From Library Journal
Anzaldua, a Chicana native of Texas, explores in prose and poetry the murky, precarious existence of those living on the frontier between cultures and languages. Writing in a lyrical mixture of Spanish and English that is her unique heritage, she meditates on the condition of Chicanos in Anglo culture, women in Hispanic culture, and lesbians in the straight world. Her essays and poems range over broad territory, moving from the plight of undocumented migrant workers to memories of her grandmother, from Aztec religion to the agony of writing.
