2.		Magical Urbanism: Latinos Reinvent the US Big City from Verso Price: $10.17 Customer Review: Davis dedicates precious little space to the cultural dynamism that the monograph's title suggests is so important.

3.		Late Victorian Holocausts: El Niño Famines and the Making of the Third World from Verso Price: $13.60 Customer Review: As a resident of Australia and self-taught climate scientist, I am all too well aware of El Nino and La Nina - though its influence pales in comparison with the manner by which enhanced greenhouse gases have destroyed southern Australia's winter rainfall since 1997.

No One Is Illegal: Fighting Racism and State Violence on the U.S.-Mexico Border from Haymarket Books Price: $10.88 Customer Review: Ok so I read most of this trash at the book store since I am saving my money to make a Minuteman donation as soon as possible.

City of Quartz: Excavating the Future in Los Angeles, New Edition from Verso Price: $11.53 Customer Review: I caught Mike Davis on an HBO Documentary about gangs in Southern California, and this book was referenced many times.

7.		City of Quartz: Excavating the Future in Los Angeles from Vintage Price: $10.85 Customer Review: Davis deserves praise as the voice of doom, articulated poetically, like a Biblical prophet. The ideology may be old hat, but the tone is refreshing. It takes bravery to be pessimistic in this day and age.

9.		B.P.R.D. Volume 2: The Soul of Venice & Other Stories from Dark Horse Price: $12.21 Customer Review: This collection is basically an anthology. A different creative team on each story, and a one and done type of tale in each. Naturally, one is set in Venice, and handled by Michael Avon Oeming.
