Four influential women we thought we knew well -- Jane Jacobs, Rachel Carson, Jane Goodall, and Alice Waters -- and how they spearheaded the modern progressive movement.This is the story of four visionaries who profoundly shaped the world we live in today. Together, these women -- linked not by friendship or field, but by their choice to break with convention -- showed what one person speaking truth to power can do. Jane Jacobs fought for livable cities and strong communities; Rachel Carson warned us about poisoning the environment; Jane Goodall demonstrated the indelible kinship between humans and animals; and Alice Waters urged us to reconsider what and how we eat. With a keen eye for historical detail, Andrea Barnet traces the arc of each woman's career and explores how their work collectively changed the course of history. While they hailed from different generations, Carson, Jacobs, Goodall, and Waters found their voices in the early sixties. At a time of enormous upheaval, all four stood as bulwarks against 1950s corporate culture and its war on nature. Consummate outsiders, each prevailed against powerful and mostly male adversaries while also anticipating the disaffections of the emerging counterculture.All told, their efforts ignited a transformative progressive movement while offering people a new way to think about the world and a more positive way of living in it.

"Hurricane Katrina shredded one of the great cities of the South, and as levees failed and the federal relief effort proved lethally incompetent, a natural disaster became a man-made catastrophe. As an editor of New Orleans' daily newspaper, the Pulitzer Prize-winning Times-Picayune, Jed Horne has had a front-row seat to the unfolding drama of the city's collapse into chaos and its continuing struggle to survive." Horne takes readers into the private worlds and inner thoughts of storm victims from all walks of life to weaver a tapestry as intricate and vivid as the city itself. Politicians, thieves, nurses, urban visionaries, grieving mothers, entrepreneurs with an eye for quick profit at public expense - all of these lives collide in a chronicle that in harrowing, angry, and often slyly ironic.

Jellytoes Misses the Bus is a unique book for young children between the ages of four and eight. It is laid out in the style of a comic book, but it isn't a comic book and is written with minimal narrative. The illustrations are creative and unusual, with a style all their own. Jellytoes Misses the Bus is a story about a boy who just wants to get to school on time. OK, he wants to get to school on time for a party his class is having. But Jellytoes misses the school bus and he has to overcome several obstacles to get to school at all, much less in time for the party. Join the adventure as he grapples with a flock of angry chickens, navigates the perils of Pickleville Mud Pits, and ultimately learns a valuable lesson.
