While Paul Sinclair uses the life of Reverend Al Sharpton as the foundation for his cutting political commentary, his message isn’t about a single person. Instead, Sinclair examines Sharpton’s tragi-comedic relationship with the black community and uses it as an example of greater issues—the psychosis of deficiencies and dissonance of identities formed in oppression that gives rise to exploitation by charlatan politicians, preachers, and activists.Sinclair, who has spent his life championing diversity in the workplace and fighting racism in his own life, warns you against believing in charlatans, demagogues, and conmen bearing rhetorical gifts of waging “issues” campaigns on behalf of the oppressed and victimized in society. He uses examples from Sharpton’s life as lessons in identifying and avoiding narcissists, megalomaniacs, and sanctioned hustlers. In doing so, Sinclair addresses controversial events, including Sharpton’s extensive history of bartering black votes for endorsement cash in local New York City mayoral races, his “rent-a-protests” attempts at corporate shakedowns, and his national presidential campaign in 2004 that was financed and managed by visceral Republican opponents of the Democratic Party, seeking to weaken it. Sharpton’s propensity for inventions and self-aggrandizement through association with the famous are also cited. This includes placing himself in Kinshasa, Zaire, for the famed 1974 Muhammad Ali-George Foreman boxing matchup when Sharpton was really sixty-four hundred miles away in New York City. Dropping himself in the midst of Shirley Chisholm’s historic 1972 presidential campaign is also cited, among many equally doubtful examples.Most importantly, Sinclair shows how the black leadership and the Democratic Party have been insidiously weakened from within by a man who subordinated the former by blackmailing the latter. His shocking indictment of Sharpton stems from Sharpton’s own words. Sinclair tracks events, claims, and characters through Sharpton’s own publications and points out the falsity of words and events Sharpton has written about.Throughout, Sinclair stresses the need for a new generation of courageous, morally untainted, and transparent black leaders. He points out the hypocrisy of Sharpton and others as a powerful warning of the perils of ignoring history and accepting anything at face value. In the end, he suggests that only black America can arrest its own exploitation and negation, the start of which is the removal of men like Reverend Sharpton from center stage.

Sometimes referred to as a book without a genre, 'The Woman Warrior' has been described as a memoir, an autobiography, a novel, a manifesto; yet none of these labels really apply. Kingston herself says that to write autobiography is to stand at the borderline between memory and invention. hroughout the five chapters of The Woman Warrior, Kingston blends autobiography with old Chinese folktales. What results is a complex portrayal of the 20th century experiences of Chinese-Americans living in the U.S in the shadow of the Chinese Revolution. The Woman Warrior has been reported by the Modern Language Association as the most commonly taught text in modern university education. It has been used in disciplines as far reaching as American literature, anthropology, Asian studies, composition, education, psychology, sociology, and women's studies. It won the National Book Critics Circle Award and was named one of Time Magazine's top nonfiction books of the 1970s.

Japans most highly regarded novelist now vaults into the first ranks of international fiction writers with this heroically imaginative novel, which is at once a detective story, an account of a disintegrating marriage, and an excavation of the buried secrets of World War II. In a Tokyo suburb a young man named Toru Okada searches for his wife's missing cat. Soon he finds himself looking for his wife as well in a netherworld that lies beneath the placid surface of Tokyo. As these searches intersect, Okada encounters a bizarre group of allies and antagonists: a psychic prostitute; a malevolent yet mediagenic politician; a cheerfully morbid sixteen year old girl; and an aging war veteran who has been permanently changed by the hideous things he witnessed during Japan's forgotten campaign in Manchuria. Gripping, prophetic, suffused with comedy and menace, The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle is a tour de force equal in scope to the masterpiece of Mishima and Pyncho.

John Reed's reportage of his days with the Mexican guerillas under Pancho Villa established him as a top journalist of his time. Here, in a collection first published by Reed himself in 1914, is captured the verve and spirit of the Mexican peon rising from ages of repression. Reed's description of the desert marches, the battles and the exploits of the tropa is among the classics of its genre. A few years later his Ten Days That Shook the World about the Russian Revolution crowned his achievement as the founder of the modern school of journalism. The preface to this edition is by Renato Leduc, a leading Mexican journalist who was a telegrapher with Villa's army at the time Reed sent his dispatches from Mexico.

The Acari, comprising mites and ticks, form one of the largest and biologically most diverse groups of the Arachnida. They are worldwide in distribution and rival the insects in the extent to which they have successfully colonized terrestrial and aquatic habitats. Some are significant crop pests, while ticks are parasites on a wide range of vertebrate hosts. This diversity of modes of life is reflected in their morphology and life-history strategies. This book provideds a detailed introduction to the Acari, concentrating on their functional morphology, but also covering their classification and economic importance. It will serve as a text and reference for acarologists and advanced-level students taking courses in general entomology (which traditionally include acarology), invertebrate zoology, and agricultural, medical and veterinary 'entomology.'
