Waiting for Prime Time
''The best book I've read on women in broadcasting. . . . It details the incredible struggle women have faced in what some consider a leadership industry.'' -- Larry King, USA Today ''This is a groundbreaking first history of the 'underground' women's movement at the networks. It is told with no holds barred by a leader of that struggle, which is still going on. I found it extremely moving.''
New York Magazine

Reasonable Joy
Found on her biological father's doorstep in Raleigh, NC the morning after her birth in 1899, Rainey Clark grows up in a loving household.

After her son is born, and her husband dies under mysterious circumstances, Rainey returns to Raleigh, and later marries Attorney William Davis, who adopts her son. They have two daughters, and their life is idyllic compared to many Southern blacks. Rainey and her family are devastated by a life-altering event in 1960. Will she survive this time of hideous misery? Will her deepest secrets be revealed before she can resume some semblance of her former life? Rainey is a woman who survives, thrives, and endures!
Paleofantasy: What Evolution Really Tells Us about Sex, Diet, and How We Live
“With…evidence from recent genetic and anthropological research, [Zuk] offers a dose of paleoreality.” —Erin Wayman, Science News We evolved to eat berries rather than bagels, to live in mud huts rather than condos, to sprint barefoot rather than play football—or did we? Are our bodies and brains truly at odds with modern life? Although it may seem as though we have barely had time to shed our hunter-gatherer legacy, biologist Marlene Zuk reveals that the story is not so simple. Popular theories about how our ancestors lived—and why we should emulate them—are often based on speculation, not scientific evidence. Armed with a razor-sharp wit and brilliant, eye-opening research, Z...
Caught in the Storm of War
This is a fascinating insider's account from Adriana, a TV war reporter, who survived death threats, bullets on the battled field and kidnaping from the oldest guerrilla group in the world. A vivid history and a series of short stories told from the trenches in the Colombian jungle. This book depicts the war between FARC, Paramilitaries and the Colombian Government, during the height of the conflict between 1998 and 2004. Through these pages, the author honors the innocent victims caught in the storm of war, and offers a tribute to all the journalists who were killed and survived risking their lives bringing the truth to the citizens. Colombia is a country with one of the highest murder rates for journalists in the world.
The World Split Open
In this enthralling narrative-the first of its kind-historian and journalist Ruth Rosen chronicles the history of the American women's movement from its beginnings in the 1960s to the present. Interweaving the personal with the political, she vividly evokes the events and people who participated in our era's most far-reaching social revolution.
Live from the Trenches
In spite of the flood of literature dealing with American television networks, the evening anchors, and prime-time personalities, little has been written about "the foot soldier of network news." Live from the Trenches fills that gap, providing the first examination of television news correspondents and their work, with much of the analysis coming from the correspondents themselves.
Socialism, Capitalism and Alternatives
In 1989 the Berlin Wall came down. Two years later the Soviet Union disintegrated. The collapse of communism in Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union discredited the idea of socialism for generations to come. It was seen as representing the final and irreversible victory of capitalism. This triumphal dominance was barely challenged until the 2008 financial crisis threw the Western world into a state of turmoil. Through analysis of post-socialist Russia and Central and Eastern Europe, as well as of the United Kingdom, China and the United States, Socialism, Capitalism and Alternatives confronts the difficulty we face in articulating alternatives to capitalism, socialism and threatening popul...
The Rulebreaker
The definitive biography of the most successful female broadcaster of all time—Barbara Walters—a woman whose personal demons fueled an ambition that broke all the rules and finally gave women a permanent place on the air, written by bestselling author Susan Page. Barbara Walters was a force from the time TV was exploding on the American scene in the 1960s to its waning dominance in a new world of competition from streaming services and social media half a century later. She was not just a groundbreaker for women (Oprah announced when she was seventeen that she wanted to be Barbara Walters), but also expanded the big TV interview and then dominated the genre. By the end of her career, she...
