Ifill, Gwen.
New York : Doubleday, c2009.

presidential victory and introduces the emerging African American politicians
forging a new path to political power. Ifill argues that the Black political
structure formed during the Civil Rights movement is giving way to a generation
who are the direct beneficiaries of the struggles of the 1960s. She offers
detailed profiles of such prominent leaders as Newark Mayor Cory Booker,
Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick, and U.S. Congressman Artur Davis of
Alabama, as well as numerous up-and-coming figures. Drawing on exclusive
interviews with power brokers such as President Obama, Colin Powell, Vernon
Jordan, the Reverend Jesse Jackson, his son Congressman Jesse Jackson Jr., and
many others, as well as her own observations and analysis of such issues as
generational conflict, the race/gender clash, and the "black enough"
conundrum, Ifill shows why this is a pivotal moment in history.--From publisher

The
dark side : the inside story of how the war on terror turned into a war on
American ideals
Mayer, Jane.
New York : Doubleday, c2008.
In the days immediately following September 11th, the most powerful people in
the country were panic-stricken. Radical decisions about how to combat
terrorists and strengthen national security were made in a state of chaos and
fear, but the key players, Vice President Cheney and his powerful, secretive
adviser David Addington, used the crisis to further a long-held agenda to
enhance presidential powers to a degree never known in U.S. history, and
obliterate Constitutional protections that define the very essence of the
American experiment. This is a dramatic account of how the United States made
terrible decisions in the pursuit of terrorists around the world--decisions that
not only violated the Constitution, but also hampered the pursuit of Al Qaeda.
Whatever the short-term gains, there were incalculable losses in terms of moral
standing, our country's place in the world, and its sense of itself.--From

Darwin's
sacred cause : how a hatred of slavery shaped Darwin's views on human evolution
Desmond, Adrian J., 1947-
Boston : Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 2009.
There is a mystery surrounding Darwin: How did this quiet, respectable
gentleman, a pillar of his parish, come to embrace one of the most radical ideas
in the history of human thought? Darwin risked a great deal in publishing his
theory of evolution, so something very powerful--a moral fire--must have
propelled him. That moral fire, argue authors Desmond and Moore, was a
passionate hatred of slavery. They draw on a wealth of fresh manuscripts,
correspondence, notebooks, diaries, and even ships' logs to show how Darwin's
abolitionism had deep roots in his mother's family and was reinforced by his
voyage on the Beagle as well as by events in America. Leading apologists for
slavery in Darwin's time argued that blacks and whites were separate species,
with whites created superior. Darwin believed that the races belonged to the
same human family, and slavery was therefore a sin.--From publisher description.

The
journal of Hélène Berr
Berr, Hélène, 1921-1945.
New York. : Weinstein Books, c2008.
The joyful but ultimately heartbreaking journal of a young Jewish woman in
occupied Paris, now published for the first time, 63 years after her death. In
1942, Hélène Berr, a 21-year-old Jewish student at the Sorbonne, started to
keep a journal, writing with verve and style about her everyday life in
Paris--about her studies, her friends, her growing affection for the "boy
with the grey eyes," about the sun in the dewdrops, and about the effect of
the growing restrictions imposed by France's Nazi occupiers. Humiliations were
to follow, which she records, now with a view to posterity. She wants the
journal to go to her fiancé, who has enrolled with the Free French Forces, as
she knows she may not live much longer. She was right. The final entry is dated
February 15, 1944, and we now know she died in Bergen-Belsen in April 1945,
within a month of Anne Frank and just days before the liberation of the camp.--

Michelle
: a biography
Mundy, Liza, 1960-
New York : Simon & Schuster, 2008.
Washington Post writer Liza Mundy paints a revealing and intimate portrait of
the most dynamic couple in politics today: Michelle, the highly organized,
sometimes intimidating, list-making pragmatist; and Barack, the introspective
political charmer who shoots for the stars. Michelle's story carries all the
achievements and lingering pain of the post-civil rights era. She grew up on the
south side of Chicago, in a neighborhood rocked by white flight. She went to
Harvard Law School, became a corporate lawyer, then left to train community
leaders. She can be funny and sharp-tongued, warm and blunt, empathic and
demanding. Her relationship with Barack, like many couples with two careers and
two children, has been strained at times by his political climb. In this
carefully reported biography, drawing upon interviews with more than one hundred
people, including one with Michelle herself, Mundy captures the complexity of
this remarkable woman and the remarkable life she has lived.--From publisher

The
one thing holding you back : unleashing the power of emotional connection
Cushnir, Raphael.
New York : HarperOne, c2008.
Most people have a vision for their lives that they're not pursuing, or pursuing
yet somehow falling short. This vision can be modest or grand. It may involve
breaking free of a destructive habit, finding a healthy relationship, or
changing the world. Here, Raphael Cushnir, a leading voice in personal and
professional development, reveals that when people aren't living their dreams
it's because they're not yet willing and able to feel specific emotions related
to those dreams. Once we access and understand these emotions, our dreams can
and will come true. Cushnir asserts that mere emotional awareness, commonly
referred to as emotional intelligence, is not enough. For maximum benefit we
must directly and consistently connect with our emotions--in particular,
emotions we routinely avoid, resist, or attempt to dismiss. These emotions
possess the key to our greatest goals, and learning to connect with them is a
rarely taught but essential skill.--From publisher description.

: end exhaustion and feel great again
Lipman, Frank, 1954-

Fatigue, unexplained back and joint pain, distractibility, irritability,
insomnia, and digestive problems leave many of us feeling spent--and there is no
pill. This profound feeling of general unwellness is not part of the normal
aging process. Here, Dr. Lipman offers a solution to combat the syndrome he
calls Spent. He identifies the things in modern life that lead to energy
depletion, and he creates "Daily Beats," a series of simple
actions--such as sleep, diet, exercise, nutrition, meditation, and
relaxation--that readers can take to repair their stressed systems and nourish
their bodies and minds. Anyone following his day-by-day program will feel
energized, vibrant, and younger. With a nutrition plan with recipes, photographs
of research-based exercises and stretches, and wisdom from Dr. Lipman's thirty
years of medical practice, Spent puts readers back in touch with their bodies'
natural rhythms and introduces them to a lifetime of good health.--From

Why
faith matters
Wolpe, David J.
New York : HarperOne c2008.
This articulate defense of religion in America makes the case for faith and
shows its relationship to history and science. Refuting the cold reason of the
atheists and the hatred of the fanatics with a vision of religion informed by
faith, love, and understanding, Rabbi Wolpe follows in a literary tradition that
stretches from Cardinal Newman to C. S. Lewis to Thomas Merton--all individuals
of faith who brought religion and culture together in their own works. Drawing
on the personal and powerful story of his battle with cancer, Wolpe offers a
moving statement in support of religion today. In a response to the new
atheists, Wolpe takes readers through the origins and nature of faith, the role
of the Bible in modern life, and the compatibility of God and science. He
concludes with a powerful argument for the place of God, faith, and religion in
today's world.--From publisher description.

the course is the creation of an urban lifestyle, which becomes
increasingly sophisticated and complex as cultures expand."-- p. 1 of

can cash in by signing up new talent such as songwriter, Willie Dixon,
Howlin' Wolf, and Etta James. Chess makes all of his artists part of his
family and takes care of them. This is not easy since they spend a small
fortune on booze, drugs, and the high life. When Chuck Berry goes to jail,
Leonard is able to find another talented performer, Etta James, to take
his place. In the late sixties, as their music goes out of favor, Leonard
Chess gets out of the record business.
