Joe Hill
Joe Hill (1877-1915) is the best-known figure in the heroic history of the Industrial Workers of the World (a.k.a. Wobblies). US labour's most world-renowned martyr and celebrated songwriter, he is remembered above all for his songs in the Little Red Song Book: "The Preacher and the Slave" ("Pie in the Sky"), "Mr Block," "There Is Power in a Union," and many more that are still popular on picket lines today. A monumental work that explores the issues that Joe Hill raised--capitalism, white supremacy, gender, religion, wilderness, law, prison, industrial unionism--and their enduring relevance and impact in the century since his death. Collected too is all of his art, plus scores of other illustrations featuring Hill-inspired art by IWWs from Ralph Chaplin to Carlos Cortez, as well as other labour artists.

Liquidated
Financial collapses—whether of the junk bond market, the Internet bubble, or the highly leveraged housing market—are often explained as the inevitable result of market cycles: What goes up must come down. In Liquidated, Karen Ho punctures the aura of the abstract, all-powerful market to show how financial markets, and particularly booms and busts, are constructed. Through an in-depth investigation into the everyday experiences and ideologies of Wall Street investment bankers, Ho describes how a financially dominant but highly unstable market system is understood, justified, and produced through the restructuring of corporations and the larger economy. Ho, who worked at an investment bank...
Franklin Scandal
A chilling exposé of corporate corruption and government cover-ups, this account of a nationwide child-trafficking and pedophilia ring in the United States tells a sordid tale of corruption in high places. The scandal originally surfaced during an investigation into Omaha, Nebraska's failed Franklin Federal Credit Union and took the author beyond the Midwest and ultimately to Washington, DC. Implicating businessmen, senators, major media corporations, the CIA, and even the venerable Boys Town organization, this extensively researched report includes firsthand interviews with key witnesses and explores a controversy that has received scant media attention.
The Tattooed Mermaid
The Tattooed Mermaid was a local legend, a manufactured myth to the residents of the New England town of Breakers Pointe. But what more has she become? Does she appear in a teenage girl's dreams, as some people believe? What does she know about the crimes being perpetrated in what was once a small, sleepy town? The residents of Breakers Pointe are seldom what they seem: the self-made millionaire with layers of buried secrets, the junk yard owner, desperate to hide his past, the self-effacing artist, who peers into other people's lives, the newspaper publisher and the New Age book store owner-people tell them everything-but what do they do with what they learn about their neighbors? Who in Breakers Pointe is willing to kill to keep secrets from coming out? A single mother and her psychically gifted teenage daughter attempts to answer these questions, as they unravel secrets within their own family.
