The Mystery of 2012: Predictions, Prophecies, and Possibilities
from Sounds True, Incorporated
Price: $9.18

Customer Review:

I loved every author in it. And, every day seems to have greater value to me, especially with times counting down. Something is happening with our world, we can all see it in some way, shape or form. My next best question can only be, what happens next?

Tristes Tropiques
from Penguin (Non-Classics)
Price: $10.84

Customer Review:

While I have little to say about the anthropological veracity of this seminal text, I am capable of recognizing its vast aesthetic and intellectual beauty. Levi-Strauss places himself (or inserts himself), in a number of so called 'savage' tribes in Brazil- the Caduveo, Bororo, Nambikwara, and... more info

Open Veins of Latin America: Five Centuries of the Pillage of a Continent
from Monthly Review Press
Price: $59.85

Customer Review:

I would like to say "Muchas Gracias!" to our good friend, El Comandante Chavez, the same guy who gives heating oil to the slum communities of America, for making this book known to me. American education under free speech and expression had kept it hidden from me I'm afraid.
The book presents... more info

Dark Alliance: The CIA, the Contras, and the Crack Cocaine Explosion
from Seven Stories Press
Price: $16.47

Customer Review:

Suffice it to say if this book wasn't on the mark Gary Webb wouldn't have been ostracized in his own profession and had to look over his shoulder for spooks at every turn. Believe what you want about your own government but know this - anytime one of these bought and paid for talking heads on the... more info

The Last Days of the Incas
from Tantor Media
Price: $21.00

Customer Review:

When I saw this title I wondered why anyone would attempt a book that would compete with John Hemming's "Conquest of the Inca". I then realized "Conquest" is more than 50 years old. MacQuarrie's research is astonishingly complete with what must have been months if not years of 'feet on the ground'... more info

This book is an awesome work with splendid poems that have something to say to everyone.
Side-by-side texts with their translations are great in making the reader evaluate the meanings and nuances in both languages.

Pathologies of Power: Health, Human Rights, and the New War on the Poor (California Series in Public Anthropology, 4)
from University of California Press
Price: $9.99

Customer Review:

I admit I do not write well. But neither does this author. The best part of this book is the first couple chapters when he talks about his life experiences in Haiti, Russia, and Mexico. After that put the book down. The rest of this book isn't really focused. He seems to repeat himself every other... more info

Customer Review:

I would like to be the first to contribute to the C.S. Hirsch Fund for Mr. J. Lopez' lobotomy. Having read and enjoyed her earlier book - Cuba Confidential - I am not surprised that Ann Loiuse Bardach's - Without Fidel - is not only a refreshing, unbiased look at one of the world's most intriguing... more info
