What Does Al Qaeda Want?: Unedited Communiques

$9.55

In the aftermath of the September 11th attacks, al Qaeda has become the most infamous terrorist organization in history. While their actions are deplorable, it remains a populist and idealist movement - and one that continues to spread. Despite heavy media coverage, most people are unaware of the group's ultimate goals. Sampling from actual al Qaeda texts, this is al Qaeda in its own words, rather than another interpretation (which often emphasizes the inflammatory religious rhetoric) offered by the Bush administration and other factions of the Western world. Introductions and commentary provide the historical context necessary to understand fully the interconnection between the religious, social, and political issues that led to the emergence of Osama bin Laden and his jihad against the West.

House of Ill Repute: Reflections on War, Lies, and America's Ravaged Reputation

The presidency of George W. Bush promised to restore integrity to the White House, but instead it has been plagued by scandal. With his strong voice and biting humor, William Rivers Pitt guides readers through a jaw-dropping series of presidential blunders. In this collection of articles that first appeared on truthout.org, he dissects the entire war on Iraq, including the relentless push toward war, the missing weapons of mass destruction, the Halliburton contracting scandals, sectarian violence, and the possibility of a regional conflagration. Others pieces tackle the outing of Valerie Plame, the NSA's warrantless wiretaps, the Abramoff scandal, Lewis Libby's indictment, and the incompetent response to Hurricane Katrina. Several essays focus on Cindy Sheehan and other citizen activists. For anyone who suspects the Bush administration of playing fast and loose with the facts, William Rivers Pitt provides a welcome voice of truth, untainted by corporate ownership.

Am-Bushed!

Readers just can't get enough tales of government gaffes, and President George W. Bush and his administration can't seem to stop goofing up.

"AM-BUSHED!" is a hilarious rundown of the mishaps, mistakes, mispronunciations, malapropisms, and misunderestimations committed by 'Dubya' and his administration, including:

"You took an oath to defend our flag and our freedom, and you kept that oath underseas and under fire." -- George W. Bush, Washington, D.C., January 10, 2006

"There's a-some of the greatest programs, initiatives come out of our faith-based programs or faith-based churches or synagogues or mosques." -- George W. Bush, Washington, D.C., January 30, 2003

People may be divided over Bush's policies, but everyone can agree that "AM-BUSHED!" will be another surefire hit.

How de Body?: Hope and Horror in Sierra Leone by Teun Voeten, ISBN 0312282192

In 1998, acclaimed photojournalist Teun Voeten headed to Sierra Leone for what he thought would be a standard assignment on the child soldiers there. But the cease-fire ended just as he arrived, and the clash between the military junta and the West African peace-keeping troops forced him to hide in the bush from rebels who were intent on killing him.
"How de Body? ("how are you?" in Sierra Leone's Creole English) is a dramatic account of the conflict that has been raging in the country for nearly a decade-and how Voeten nearly became a casualty of it. Accessible and conversational, it's a look into the dangerous diamond trade that fuels the conflict, the legacy of war practices such as forced amputations, the tragic use of child soldiers, and more. The book is also a tribute to the people who never make the headlines: Eddy Smith, a BBC correspondent who eventually helps Voeten escape; Alfred Kanu, a school principal who risks his life to keep his students and teachers going amidst the...

Durer to Veronese: Sixteenth-Century Paintings in the National Gallery by Jill Dunkerton, ISBN 0300072201

Focusing on the outstanding sixteenth-century European paintings in the National Gallery, London, this new book is an eagerly awaited companion to Giotto to Durer, the highly regarded guide to the National Gallery's early Renaissance holdings. As beautiful and authoritative as the preceding volume, Durer to Veronese examines the finest works of such artists as Holbein, Raphael, Cranach, Titian, Gossaert, and Bronzino -- creators of some of the most important masterpieces of the sixteenth century.

The authors look closely at a variety of types of painting -- including large altarpieces, small domestic, devotional images, diplomatic gifts, furniture decorations, and both intimate and full-length portraits -- as well as frescoes, drawings, and prints. They provide fascinating insights into the meanings of individual pictures and into the purposes they were originally intended to serve, and they explore the social position of the artist in the 1500s.
