But the journey of the &amp;#8220;Little Rock Nine,&amp;#8221; as they came to be known, would lead the nation on an even longer and much more turbulent path, one that would challenge prevailing attitudes, break down barriers, and forever change the landscape of America.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Descended from a line of proud black landowners and businessmen, Carlotta was raised to believe that education was the key to success. She embraced learning and excelled in her studies at the black schools she attended throughout the 1950s. With Brown v. Board of Education erasing the color divide in classrooms across the country, the teenager volunteered to be among the first black students&amp;#8211;of whom she was the youngest&amp;#8211;to integrate nearby Central High School, considered one of the nation&amp;#8217;s best academic institutions.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;But for Carlotta and her eight comrades, simply getting through the door was the first of many trials. Angry mobs of white students and their parents hurled taunts, insults, and threats. Arkansas&amp;#8217;s governor used the National Guard to bar the black students from entering the school. Finally, President Dwight D. Eisenhower was forced to send in the 101st Airborne to establish order and escort the Nine into the building. That was just the start of a heartbreaking three-year journey for Carlotta, who would see her home bombed, a crime for which her own father was a suspect and for which a friend of Carlotta&amp;#8217;s was ultimately jailed&amp;#8211;albeit wrongly, in Carlotta&amp;#8217;s eyes. But she persevered to the victorious end: her graduation from Central.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Breaking her silence at last and sharing her story for the first time, Carlotta Walls has written an inspiring, thoroughly engrossing memoir that is not only a testament to the power of one to make a difference but also of the sacrifices made by families and communities that found themselves a part of history. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Complete with compelling photographs of the time, &lt;b&gt;A Mighty Long Way&lt;/b&gt; shines a light on this watershed moment in civil rights history and shows that determination, fortitude, and the ability to change the world are not exclusive to a few special people but are inherent within us all.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;From the Hardcover edition.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt;</content>

Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn as our guides, we undertake an odyssey through Africa and Asia to meet the extraordinary women struggling there, among them a Cambodian teenager sold into sex slavery and an Ethiopian woman who suffered devastating injuries in childbirth. Drawing on the breadth of their combined reporting experience, Kristof and WuDunn depict our world with anger, sadness, clarity, and, ultimately, hope.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;They show how a little help can transform the lives of women and girls abroad. That Cambodian girl eventually escaped from her brothel and, with assistance from an aid group, built a thriving retail business that supports her family. The Ethiopian woman had her injuries repaired and in time became a surgeon. A Zimbabwean mother of five, counseled to return to school, earned her doctorate and became an expert on AIDS.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Through these stories, Kristof and WuDunn help us see that the key to economic progress lies in unleashing women&amp;#8217;s potential. They make clear how so many people have helped to do just that, and how we can each do our part. Throughout much of the world, the greatest unexploited economic resource is the female half of the population. Countries such as China have prospered precisely because they emancipated women and brought them into the formal economy. Unleashing that process globally is not only the right thing to do; it&amp;#8217;s also the best strategy for fighting poverty.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Deeply felt, pragmatic, and inspirational, &lt;i&gt;Half the Sky&lt;/i&gt; is essential reading for every global citizen.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;From the Hardcover edition.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt;</content>

Dwight Eisenhower was President, but in my life it was the diminutive, intense Sister Mary Lurana who ruled, at least in the third-grade class where I was held captive. For reasons you will soon understand, my parents had remanded me to the penal institution of St. Brigid&amp;#8217;s School in Westbury, New York, a cruel and unusual punishment if there ever was one. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Already, I had barely survived my first two years at St. Brigid&amp;#8217;s because I was, well, a little nitwit. Not satisfied with memorizing the Baltimore Catechism&amp;#8217;s fine prose, which featured passages like &amp;#8220;God made me to show his goodness and to make me happy with him in heaven,&amp;#8221; I was constantly annoying my classmates and, of course, the no-nonsense Sister Lurana. With sixty overactive students in her class, she was understandably short on patience. For survival, she had also become quick on the draw.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Then it happened. One day I blurted out some dumb remark, and Sister Lurana was on me like a panther. Her black habit blocked out all distractions as she leaned down, looked me in the eye, and uttered words I have never forgotten: &amp;#8220;William, you are a bold, fresh piece of humanity.&amp;#8221;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;And she was dead-on.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;One day in 1957, in the third-grade classroom of St. Brigid&amp;#8217;s parochial school, an exasperated Sister Mary Lurana bent over a restless young William O&amp;#8217;Reilly and said, &amp;#8220;William, you are a bold, fresh piece of humanity.&amp;#8221; Little did she know that she was, early in his career as a troublemaker, defining the essence of Bill O&amp;#8217;Reilly and providing him with the title of his brash and entertaining issues-based memoir. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;And this time it&amp;#8217;s personal. In his most intimate book yet, O&amp;#8217;Reilly goes back in time to examine the people, places, and experiences that launched him on his journey from working-class kid to immensely influential television personality and bestselling author. Readers will learn how his traditional outlook was formed in the crucible of his family, his neighborhood, his church, and his schools, and how his views on America&amp;#8217;s proper role in the world emerged from covering four wars on five continents over three-plus decades as a news correspondent. What will delight his numerous fans and surprise many others is the humor and self-deprecation with which he handles one of his core subjects: himself, and just how O&amp;#8217;Reilly became O&amp;#8217;Reilly.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt;</content>

The involvement of opposition parties gave rise in 2003 to two rebel movements, leading to a brutal insurgency and a horrific counterinsurgency&amp;#8211;but not to genocide, as the West has declared.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Mamdani also explains how the Cold War exacerbated the twenty-year civil war in neighboring Chad, creating a confrontation between Libya&amp;#8217;s Muammar al-Qaddafi (with Soviet support) and the Reagan administration (allied with France and Israel) that spilled over into Darfur and militarized the fighting. By 2003, the war involved national, regional, and global forces, including the powerful Western lobby, who now saw it as part of the War on Terror and called for a military invasion dressed up as &amp;#8220;humanitarian intervention.&amp;#8221;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Incisive and authoritative, &lt;i&gt;Saviors and Survivors &lt;/i&gt;will radically alter our understanding of the crisis in Darfur.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;From the Hardcover edition.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt;</content>

The involvement of opposition parties gave rise in 2003 to two rebel movements, leading to a brutal insurgency and a horrific counterinsurgency&amp;#8211;but not to genocide, as the West has declared.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Mamdani also explains how the Cold War exacerbated the twenty-year civil war in neighboring Chad, creating a confrontation between Libya&amp;#8217;s Muammar al-Qaddafi (with Soviet support) and the Reagan administration (allied with France and Israel) that spilled over into Darfur and militarized the fighting. By 2003, the war involved national, regional, and global forces, including the powerful Western lobby, who now saw it as part of the War on Terror and called for a military invasion dressed up as &amp;#8220;humanitarian intervention.&amp;#8221;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Incisive and authoritative, &lt;i&gt;Saviors and Survivors &lt;/i&gt;will radically alter our understanding of the crisis in Darfur.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;From the Hardcover edition.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt;</content>

Now, in &lt;i&gt;Surrender,&lt;/i&gt; he reveals that a combination of fear and political correctness has led politicians, intellectuals, religious leaders, and the media&amp;#8212;both in the United States and abroad&amp;#8212;to appease radical Islam at the cost of our most cherished values: freedom of speech and freedom of the press. And the cost could ultimately be even higher&amp;#8212;the imposition of sharia law in places where liberty once reigned.&lt;br&gt;In &lt;i&gt;Surrender&lt;/i&gt;, Bawer writes of a new form of jihad that began with the fatwa against Salman Rushdie in 1989, a death sentence born of Muslim outrage over a work of literature. It marked the dawn of an era of pressure and intimidation designed to crush the ability of non-Muslims to resist Islamic encroachments on Western freedom. In a sweeping survey of recent history and current events, Bawer traces a pattern of heightened sensitivity to Muslim reactions and a reluctance to look honestly at the human-rights deficiencies of the Muslim world. This pattern can be seen in the widespread denunciation of the Danish cartoons and of the editors who printed them; in the glowing media coverage of the supposedly moderate Muslim icon Tariq Ramadan; in the decision of major newspapers to ignore or soft-pedal terrorist &amp;#8220;dry runs&amp;#8221; on American airplanes; in the international uproar over a single sentence about Islam in a lecture by Pope Benedict; and in attempts by certain parties to silence criticism of Islam by suing writers who have dared to speak forthrightly about the religion.&lt;br&gt;Bawer argues that people throughout the Western world&amp;#8212;in reaction to such events as the Danish cartoon riots and the murder of filmmaker Theo van Gogh&amp;#8212;are surrendering to fear. And he observes that Muslim extremists have found unexpected allies: non-Muslims who, motivated by the misguided doctrine of multiculturalism, refuse to criticize even the most illiberal aspects of Islamic culture.  The resulting accommodation undermines the values of individual liberty and equality on which our nation was founded.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Fearless and excoriating, &lt;i&gt;Surrender &lt;/i&gt;is an essential wake-up call for everyone concerned about the preservation of our most fundamental freedoms.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt;</content>

Abramoff, working with public relations whiz Michael Scanlon, a former DeLay aid, bilked several Indian tribes of tens of millions of dollars in fees and bought influence in Congress. More criminal charges are expected to follow throughout the election season in a scandal that has tarred many powerful Washington insiders, and which &lt;i&gt;The New York Times &lt;/i&gt;has called &amp;#8220;one of the most explosive in Congressional history.&amp;#8221;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;This paperback edition is fully updated and includes new information on John McCain, a central figure in probing the Abramoff scandal, who now finds his campaign heavily dependent on a few powerful lobbyists for fundraising and strategic advice.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt;</content>

Wolfe also examines those who have challenged liberalism since its inception, from Jean-Jacques Rousseau to modern conservatives, religious fundamentalists, and evolutionary theorists such as Richard Dawkins.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Drawing on both the inspiration and insights of seminal works such as John Locke&amp;#8217;s &lt;i&gt;Second Treatise on Government,&lt;/i&gt; Adam Smith&amp;#8217;s &lt;i&gt;Theory of Moral Sentiments,&lt;/i&gt; Kant&amp;#8217;s essay &amp;#8220;What is Enlightenment?,&amp;#8221; and Mill&amp;#8217;s &lt;i&gt;On Liberty&lt;/i&gt; and &lt;i&gt;The Subjection of Women,&lt;/i&gt; Wolfe ambitiously sets out to define what it truly means to be a liberal. He analyzes and applauds liberalism&amp;#8217;s capacious conception of human nature, belief that people outweigh ideology, passion for social justice, faith in reason and intellectual openness, and respect for individualism. And we see how the liberal tradition can influence and illuminate contemporary debates on immigration, abortion, executive power, religious freedom, and free speech.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;But Wolfe also makes it clear that before liberalism can be successfully applied to today&amp;#8217;s problems, it needs to be recovered, understood, and embraced&amp;#8212;not just by Americans but by all modern people&amp;#8212;as the most beneficial way to live in our complex modern world. &lt;i&gt;The Future of Liberalism&lt;/i&gt; is a crucial, enlightening, and immensely rewarding step in that direction.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;From the Hardcover edition.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt;</content>

Kaiser&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;b&gt;Trade Paperback&lt;/b&gt;, 432 pages | Vintage | Political Science; Political Science - Economic Policy; Political Science - Government - National | &lt;b&gt;$16.95&lt;/b&gt; | 978-0-307-38588-8 (0-307-38588-4)&lt;p&gt;The startling story of the monumental growth of lobbying in Washington, D.C., and how it undermines effective government and pollutes our politics.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;A true insider, Robert G. Kaiser has&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt;monitored American politics for &lt;i&gt;The&lt;/i&gt; &lt;i&gt;Washington Post&lt;/i&gt; for nearly half a century. In this sometimes shocking and always riveting book, he explains how and why, over the last four decades, Washington became a dysfunctional capital. At the heart of his story is money&amp;#8212;money made by special interests using campaign contributions and lobbyists to influence government decisions, and money demanded by congressional candidates to pay for their increasingly expensive campaigns, which can cost a staggering sum. In 1974, the average winning campaign for the Senate cost $437,000; by 2006, that number had grown to $7.92 million. The cost of winning House campaigns grew comparably: $56,500 in 1974, $1.3 million in 2006.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Politicians&amp;#8217; need for money and the willingness, even eagerness, of special interests and lobbyists to provide it explain much of what has gone wrong in Washington. They have created a mutually beneficial, mutually reinforcing relationship between special interests and elected representatives, and they have created a new class in Washington, wealthy lobbyists whose careers often begin in public service. Kaiser shows us how behavior by public officials that was once considered corrupt or improper became commonplace, how special interests became the principal funders of elections, and how our biggest national problems&amp;#8212;health care, global warming, and the looming crises of Medicare and Social Security, among others&amp;#8212;have been ignored as a result.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Kaiser illuminates this progression through the saga of Gerald S. J. Cassidy, a Jay Gatsby for modern Washington. Cassidy came to Washington in 1969 as an idealistic young lawyer determined to help feed the hungry. Over the course of thirty years, he built one of the city&amp;#8217;s largest and most profitable lobbying firms and accumulated a personal fortune of more than $100 million. Cassidy&amp;#8217;s story provides an unprecedented view of lobbying from within the belly of the beast.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;A timely and tremendously important book that finally explains how Washington really works today, and why it works so badly.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;From the Hardcover edition.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt;</content>
