1.ZeitounZeitoun
from McSweeney's
Price: $13.85

Customer Review:
Eggers has done for Katrina, for New Orleans, for the United States and for the Zeitoun family, what no other book, news report or video has: he constructs a narrative of cohesion and love, family and faith, while at every turn layering a shame of confusion and doubt -- we are suspended as we must... more info

2.The Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster CapitalismThe Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism
from Metropolitan Books
Price: $14.76

Customer Review:
Naomi Klein gives a wealth of information from a far-left point of view which is all too seldom heard in the discussion of solutions to economic problems. Whether or not one agrees with her analysis, it should be clear to everyone that enriching the debate with more ideas is a good thing. Sadly,... more info

3.Fly by Wire: The Geese, the Glide, the Miracle on the HudsonFly by Wire: The Geese, the Glide, the Miracle on the Hudson
from Farrar, Straus and Giroux
Price: $14.90

Customer Review:
After reading "Fly By Wire" on a recent trip, I find it interesting to visit Amazon.com and see a recapitulation of the passionate debate that Langewiesche describes in his book. On the one hand, there are those who feel that "fly by wire" technology is overrated and perhaps even dangerous--these... more info

I grew up in a preparedness atmosphere, have tried my whole life to prepare for unforeseen circumstances, and have been involved with the Boy Scouts of America (motto: Be Prepared!)for 30 years.

7.[no image]In the Heart of the Sea (Isis)
from ISIS Audio Books
Price: $69.95

Customer Review:
I came to this book as a fan of Melville's 'Moby Dick', having recently re-read it and wanting more. That the climax of Moby Dick is taken from an actual incident, and further, that Melville's Ahab might in fact be loosely based on an actual person (the Essex's first mate Chase) is fascinating to... more info

9.[no image]Johnstown Flood
from Peter Smith Publisher
Price: $26.00

Customer Review:
A little known event (at least to me) in a little known place (at least to me) that happened well over 100 years ago...who would have thought that it could be the basis for a very fascinating and riveting story.
Being somewhat of a history buff, especially of 19th century United States, I was... more info

from Fourth Estate Ltd
Price: $18.81

Customer Review:
I bought this book for a book club. I found it to be very boring and tedious. I know a lot about the Galveston hurricane. There was so much incorrect scientific information and the people were not likable. I wouldn't recommend this book to anyone. In Fact, I am not going to the book club meeting... more info
