Women of the Storm
Hurricanes Katrina and Rita made landfall less than four weeks apart in 2005. Months later, much of New Orleans and the Gulf Coast remained in tatters. As the region faded from national headlines, its residents faced a dire future. Emmanuel David chronicles how one activist group confronted the crisis. Founded by a few elite white women in New Orleans, Women of the Storm quickly formed a broad coalition that sought to represent Louisiana's diverse population. From its early lobbying of Congress through its response to the 2010 BP oil spill, David shows how members' actions were shaped by gender, race, class, and geography. Drawing on in-depth interviews, ethnographic observation, and archival research, David tells a compelling story of collective action and personal transformation that expands our understanding of the aftermath of an historic American catastrophe.
O’Brien deve sofrer!
Não chegando a se configurar como uma distopia, Deep Space Nine deixa a utopia característica de Star Trek um pouco menos colorida, imprimindo-lhe tons acinzentados e mostrando que, entre o preto e o branco, existem inúmeras possibilidades. Digamos que se trata de uma série com feições mais sombrias. Este livro mesmo é dedicado a estudar as formas pelas quais um personagem é atormentado ao longo das suas sete temporadas. Muitas vezes O’BRIEN DEVE SOFRER até chegar às raias da loucura.
Julia Roberts Confidential
Life hasn't always been so kind to Julia Roberts - the highest-paid actress in Hollywood.

Confidential also lifts the lid on Roberts' sensational personal life - a life that has put her in the headlines more often than her movies.
