from Verso

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. (The fact that agriculture never... more info

5.The Accidental President of Brazil: A MemoirThe Accidental President of Brazil: A Memoir
from PublicAffairs
Price: $10.17

Customer Review:
I heard about this book in Brasilia, Brazil earlier this year, from a citizen of Brazil. It is a very good insight into the nation and the "accidental president".

So does Levy-Strauss, and he is a fantastic observer, much more sharp-eyed than I could ever hope to be, and a highly entertaining writer. In this classic he talks about... more info

from Da Capo Press
Price: $12.24

Customer Review:
This book is so painful to read. The sentences are so long and complex. It was like reading a philosophy book. I have to agree with a lot of the sentiment expressed in the other reviews that say this book is really inaccessible unless you're an intellectual. It's not like my brain is too stupid to... more info
