The Zombie War came unthinkably close to eradicating humanity. Max Brooks, driven by the urgency of preserving the acid-etched first-hand experiences of the survivors from those apocalyptic years, traveled across the United States of America and throughout the world, from decimated cities that once teemed with upwards of thirty million souls to the most remote and inhospitable areas of the planet. He recorded the testimony of men, women, and sometimes children who came face-to-face with the living, or at least the undead, hell of that dreadful time. World War Z is the result. Never before have we had access to a document that so powerfully conveys the depth of fear and horror, and also the ineradicable spirit of resistance, that gripped human society through the plague years.Ranging from the now infamous village of New Dachang in the United Federation of China, where the epidemiological trail began with the twelve-year-old Patient Zero, to the unnamed northern forests where untold numbers sought a terrible and temporary refuge in the cold, to the United States of Southern Africa, where the Redeker Plan provided hope for humanity at an unspeakable price, to the west-of-the-Rockies redoubt where the North American tide finally started to turn, this invaluable chronicle reflects the full scope and duration of the Zombie War.Most of all, the book captures with haunting immediacy the human dimension of this epochal event. Facing the often raw and vivid nature of these personal accounts requires a degree of courage on the part of the reader, but the effort is invaluable because, as Mr. Brooks says in his introduction, "By excluding the human factor, aren't we risking the kind of personal detachment from history that may, heaven forbid, lead us one day to repeat it? And in the end, isn't the human factor the only true difference between us and the enemy we now refer to as 'the living dead'?"Note: Some of the numerical and factual material contained in this edition was previously published under the auspices of the United Nations Postwar Commission.

Those who don’t learn from history are condemned to repeat it.From the Stone Age to the information age, the undead have threatened to engulf the human race. They’ re coming. They’re hungry.Don’t wait for them to come to you! This is the graphic novel the fans demanded: major zombie attacks from the dawn of humanity. On the African savannas, against the legions of ancient Rome, on the high seas with Francis Drake . . . every civilization has faced them. Here are the grisly and heroic stories–complete with eye-popping artwork that pulsates with the hideous faces of the undead. Organize before they rise!Scripted by the world’s leading zombie authority, Max Brooks, Recorded Attacks reveals how other eras and cultures have dealt with–and survived– the ancient viral plague. By immersing ourselves in past horror we may yet prevail over the coming outbreak in our time.

The United Nations got its start as the Second World War was ending; and the 50 signatories to the U.N. Charter that took effect in October of 1945 aspired to forge a new world order in which, it was hoped, future wars could be prevented. That goal still remains distant – at this time, according to Wikipedia, there are 60 separate armed conflicts, of varying scope and intensity, going on in different parts of the world today. But the U.N.’s mission of bringing nations together in peace still matters; and a review of the U.N.’s Universal Declaration of Human Rights provides useful insights into both how that mission began and how the organization has changed over the years.The United Nations began as an shared initiative on the part of the victorious Allied Powers of World War II, and the meetings that got the organization underway took place in Washington, D.C., and San Francisco (a look-to-the-future city that itself could have made a fine home for the United Nations). Therefore, it should be no surprise that some aspects of the language of the Universal Declaration have a decidedly Western, even American, sound to them. One hears Jeffersonian echoes in the Preamble’s assertion of the “equal and inalienable rights of all members of the human family.” Similarly, Article 1 states that “All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights.” And just as Jefferson modified the language of John Locke, changing Locke’s “life, liberty, and property” to “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness,” so the Universal Declaration modifies Jefferson’s language, stating in Article 3 that “Everyone has the right to life, liberty, and security of person.” That modification certainly seems understandable, considering how little security of person there had been in so much of the world during the long and terrible years of the Second World War. There are plenty of parts of the Universal Declaration that are aspirational in nature; they represent an ideal to be hoped for, and certainly not a reality that has been achieved. When one looks, for example, at Article 4 (“No one shall be held in slavery or servitude; slavery and the slave trade shall be prohibited in all their forms”), one reflects on the number of nations around the world today where, as reported by the International Anti-Slavery Society, human slavery in various forms is still practiced, in all its horror and cruelty. Estimates of the number of people still held in varying forms of slavery in the world today range from 21 million to 46 million.Similarly, Article 5 against torture (“No one shall be subjected to torture or to cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment”) is, in a number of U.N. signatory nations, more honored in the breach than in the observance, as one can see from the number of countries around the world where torture is practiced with terrifying regularity. Amnesty International reported chronicling torture in 150 countries around the world between 1997 and 2001. For comparison purposes, there are 195 internationally recognized countries in the world today.And Article 25, section 2 (“Motherhood and childhood are entitled to special care and assistance”), is an article that one can reflect upon with sadness, if not bitterness, considering the situation of women and children in so many parts of the world. We remember how Malala Yousafzai of Pakistan was shot by the Taliban for advocating for education for women; her perfectly sensible declaration that an educated woman will be not only a more productive member of society, but also a mother better able to care for her children, was lost upon the religious fanatics who wanted her voice silenced. And the civil war-wracked West African nations where children were given rifles and pressed into service as child soldiers provide a particularly sad example of when children have been regarded, not as people with rights and dignity who embody and constitute the human future, but rather as resources to be exploited for the selfish purposes of the cruel and unscrupulous.In the post-World War II era, it must have seemed that the soaring language of the Universal Declaration would embody the beginnings of a new and better world, free of the irrational cruelties of the past. Yet Cold War tensions between the Soviet Union on the one hand, and the three permanent Western members of the Security Council (Great Britain, France, and the United States of America) on the other hand, quickly meant that, even in the early days of the U.N., some of the provisions of the Universal Declaration were rendered invalid.Citizens of divided post-war Germany, for example, might have read Article 13, part 2 (“Everyone has the right to leave any country, including his own, and to return to his country”) with a decided sense of irony. As Cold War divisions ended plans for a reunification of Germany, the American-, British-, and French-administered sections of the country united as Bundesrepublik Deutschland, the democratically governed Federal Republic of Germany; the Soviet-ruled sector of Germany meanwhile became Deutsche Demokratische Republik, the singularly undemocratic “German Democratic Republic.” By 1961, the East German authorities had militarized the Inner German Border and completed the Berlin Wall to prevent East German citizens from escaping to the West. Therefore, if you had told an East German between 1961 and 1989 that he or she had the right to leave the D.D.R., under Article 13, part 2 of the Universal Declaration, then that East German might well have responded by laughing in your face - as long as said East German was reasonably sure that there wasn’t a Stasi agent listening close by.The Soviet Union and other non-democratic states may have signed on to the Universal Declaration, but leaders like Soviet dictator Josef Stalin had no intention of abiding by its principles. Stalin, in accordance with the state-mandated atheism of the U.S.S.R., had opposed any inclusion of religious-freedom language in the Universal Declaration, but had relented at U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s insistence. Still, the Soviets, and those who thought like them, made the most of Article 29, section 2 (“In the exercise of his rights and freedoms, everyone shall be subject only to such limitations as are determined by law solely for the purpose of securing due recognition and respect for the rights and freedoms of others and of meeting the just requirements of morality, public order and the general welfare in a democratic society”).Into that one little article, Stalin and his ilk found, they could squeeze a great deal of state control of the individual, all the while blathering on about how wonderfully democratic they were being. Far-right dictators like those in Cold War-era Argentina, Brazil, Chile, and Paraguay were just as swift as the Soviets to find excuses for oppressing their people in the name of “public order” and “morality.”And, looking to more recent history, the Kurds of today, as the numerically largest group of people on Earth without a nation of their own, might look askance at Article 15’s blithe declaration that “Everyone has the right to a nationality”; it is a matter of record that the Kurds routinely face discrimination in all of the countries where they are a cultural minority – a brutal reality most dramatically demonstrated by Turkey’s 2019 invasion of Kurdish areas of northern Syria.The U.N., heaven knows, is not a perfect organization. Its peace-keeping efforts, while well-intentioned, have sometimes been singularly ineffective. The organization has faced accusations of corruption and mismanagement of funds under various secretaries. And as former colonial possessions gained their independence down the years, and the membership of the U.N. General Assembly changed from one dominated by prosperous Western nations to one where smaller, poorer countries of the developing world predominated, the U.N. has sometimes gone in some unproductive and sometimes simply wrong directions.A particularly egregious example of a wrong turn by a United Nations body was the infamous U.N. General Assembly resolution in 1975 that equated Zionism with racism. Surely one can sympathize with the situation of the Palestinians in the Occupied Territories, and can work toward a political situation that will accommodate the rights, dignity, and identity of both the Israelis and the Palestinians, without stooping to language and ideas as grotesque as that.And yet this re-reading of the Universal Declaration reminds me that the United Nations does have value, great value, as a place where nations can gather and talk in a forum that has been accepted as valid by virtually all the nations of the world. In 1983, when Soviet interceptor aircraft shot down a South Korean civilian airliner that had accidentally strayed into Soviet airspace, and when the Soviet government tried to lie about what their pilots had done, it was at the U.N. that the American ambassador to the U.N. played the tape that showed the whole world that the Soviets were lying. More recently, when my wife and I traveled to Rwanda in the summer of 2016, the first thing we saw when we landed at the Kigali airport was a huge U.N. transport plane; and throughout our time in Rwanda, we saw how the U.N. is working, through a number of initiatives, to build lasting peace among the Rwandans whose nation was wracked by war and genocide in 1994.The United Nations’ Universal Declaration of Human Rights reminds us that the ideal of respect for the human rights of all, of a world where humankind can speak of war in the past tense, will always be an ideal worth striving toward.

I could say that I love Dick, but that would be weird. I do very much enjoy Philip K. Dick's writing and though this is not one of his best, the "Pizza and Sex Rule" applies to him; ie. just as even bad pizza and / or sex is still pretty good, bad PKD is as well. And this is not bad at all. The first mistake that a new reader would make is to watch Blade Runner and expect a novelization of that film; it was LOOSELY based upon the book. I'm a big fan of the Ridley Scott film starring Harrison Ford and Rutger Hauer, but the movie diverged from Phillip K. Dick's literature early on. The book is far more bleak than the film, if you can believe that, and much more intricate and complicated. Blade Runner benefits from a simplified storyline. The author was far ahead of his time both in the complexity of his story and the perspective from which he writes. There are elements of Brave New World, I, Robot, and Dune; but the author has a unique voice and the story is an original. It is not an excellent work, as there are gaps and inconsistencies and many loose ends that are never tied in, but the concept and provocation are superb.One element of the book that was completely left out of the film was a sub-plot involving a Christ-like messiah and a faith system based upon what could have been a hoax. First published in 1968, this was one of his more theological based novels, and a trend that would continue steadily becoming more frequent and invasive until the end of his writing.A MUST read for PKD fans as well as SF/F fans period.

In Crank, Ellen Hopkins chronicles the turbulent and often disturbing relationship between Kristina, a character based on her own daughter, and the "monster," the highly addictive drug crystal meth, or "crank." Kristina is introduced to the drug while visiting her largely absent and ne'er-do-well father. While under the influence of the monster, Kristina discovers her sexy alter-ego, Bree: "there is no perfect daughter, / no gifted high school junior, / no Kristina Georgia Snow. / There is only Bree." Bree will do all the things good girl Kristina won't, including attracting the attention of dangerous boys who can provide her with a steady flow of crank.

Crank. Glass. Ice. Crystal. Whatever you call it, it's all the same: a monster. And once it's got hold of you, this monster will never let you go.  Kristina thinks she can control it. Now with a baby to care for, she's determined to be the one deciding when and how much, the one calling the shots. But the monster is too strong, and before she knows it, Kristina is back in its grips. She needs the monster to keep going, to face the pressures of day-to-day life. She needs it to feel alive.  Once again the monster takes over Kristina's life and she will do anything for it, including giving up the one person who gives her the unconditional love she craves -- her baby.  The sequel to Crank, this is the continuing story of Kristina and her descent back to hell. Told in verse, it's a harrowing and disturbing look at addiction and the damage that it inflicts.

Cannery Row is a book without much of a plot. Rather, it is an attempt to capture the feeling and people of a place, the cannery district of Monterey, California, which is populated by a mix of those down on their luck and those who choose for other reasons not to live "up the hill" in the more respectable area of town. The flow of the main plot is frequently interrupted by short vignettes that introduce us to various denizens of the Row, most of whom are not directly connected with the central story. These vignettes are often characterized by direct or indirect reference to extreme violence: suicides, corpses, and the cruelty of the natural world.The "story" of Cannery Row follows the adventures of Mack and the boys, a group of unemployed yet resourceful men who inhabit a converted fish-meal shack on the edge of a vacant lot down on the Row.Sweet Thursday is the sequel to Cannery Row.

"One night, after thinking it over for some time, Harold decided to go for a walk in the moonlight." So begins this gentle story that shows just how far your imagination can take you. Armed only with an oversized purple crayon, young Harold draws himself a landscape full of beauty and excitement. But this is no hare-brained, impulsive flight of fantasy. Cherubic, round-headed Harold conducts his adventure with the utmost prudence, letting his imagination run free, but keeping his wits about him all the while. He takes the necessary purple-crayon precautions: drawing landmarks to ensure he won't get lost; sketching a boat when he finds himself in deep water; and creating a purple pie picnic when he feels the first pangs of hunger.

In Monterey, on the California coast, Sweet Thursday is what they call the day after Lousy Wednesday, which is one of those days that are just naturally bad. Returning to the scene of Cannery Row, the weedy lots and junk heaps and flophouses of Monterey, John Steinbeck once more brings to life the denizens of a netherworld of laughter and tears from Fauna, new headmistress of the local brothel, to Hazel, a bum whose mother must have wanted a daughter.

What do a dead cat, a computer whiz-kid, an Electric Monk who believes the world is pink, quantum mechanics, a Chronologist over 200 years old, Samuel Taylor Coleridge (poet), and pizza have in common? Apparently not much; until Dirk Gently, self-styled private investigator, sets out to prove the fundamental interconnectedness of all things by solving a mysterious murder, assisting a mysterious professor, unravelling a mysterious mystery, and eating a lot of pizza – not to mention saving the entire human race from extinction along the way (at no extra charge).

First published in 1922, The Beautiful and the Damned followed Fitzgerald's impeccable debut, This Side of Paradise, thus securing his place in the tradition of great American novelists. Embellished with the author's lyrical prose, here is the story of Harvard-educated, aspiring aesthete Anthony Patch and his beautiful wife, Gloria. As they await the inheritance of his grandfather's fortune, their reckless marriage sways under the influence of alcohol and avarice. A devastating look at the nouveau riche, and the New York nightlife, as well as the ruinous effects of wild ambition, The Beautiful and the Damned achieved stature as one of Fitzgerald's most accomplished novels. Its distinction as a classic endures to this day. Pocket Book's Enriched Classics present the great works of world literature enhanced for the contemporary reader. Special features include critical perspectives, suggestions for further read, and a unique visual essay composed of period photographs that help bring every word to life.

"Steinbeck is an artist; and he tells the stories of these lovable thieves and adulterers with a gentle and poetic purity of heart and of prose." -- New York Herald TribuneAdopting the structure and themes of the Arthurian legend, Steinbeck created a "Camelot" on a shabby hillside above the town of Monterey,California and peopled it with a colorful band of knights. At the center of the tale is Danny, whose house, like Arthur's castle, becomes a gathering place for men looking for adventure, camaraderie, and a sense of belonging. These "knights" are paisanos, men of mixed heritage, whose ancestors settled California hundreds of years before. Free of ties to jobs and other complications of the American way of life, they fiercely resist the corrupting tide of honest toil in the surrounding ocean of civil rectitude.As Steinbeck chronicles their deeds--their multiple loves, their wonderful brawls, their Rabelaisian wine-drinking--he spins a tale as compelling and ultimately as touched by sorrow as the famous legends of the Round Table, which inspired him.

For sixty years, Jewish refugees and their descendants have prospered in the Federal District of Sitka, a "temporary" safe haven created in the wake of revelations of the Holocaust and the shocking 1948 collapse of the fledgling state of Israel. Proud, grateful, and longing to be American, the Jews of the Sitka District have created their own little world in the Alaskan panhandle, a vibrant, gritty, soulful, and complex frontier city that moves to the music of Yiddish. For sixty years they have been left alone, neglected and half-forgotten in a backwater of history. Now the District is set to revert to Alaskan control, and their dream is coming to an end: once again the tides of history threaten to sweep them up and carry them off into the unknown. But homicide detective Meyer Landsman of the District Police has enough problems without worrying about the upcoming Reversion. His life is a shambles, his marriage a wreck, his career a disaster. He and his half-Tlingit partner, Berko Shemets, can't catch a break in any of their outstanding cases. Landsman's new supervisor is the love of his life—and also his worst nightmare. And in the cheap hotel where he has washed up, someone has just committed a murder—right under Landsman's nose. Out of habit, obligation, and a mysterious sense that it somehow offers him a shot at redeeming himself, Landsman begins to investigate the killing of his neighbor, a former chess prodigy. But when word comes down from on high that the case is to be dropped immediately, Landsman soon finds himself contending with all the powerful forces of faith, obsession, hopefulness, evil, and salvation that are his heritage—and with the unfinished business of his marriage to Bina Gelbfish, the one person who understands his darkest fears. At once a gripping whodunit, a love story, an homage to 1940s noir, and an exploration of the mysteries of exile and redemption, The Yiddish Policemen's Union is a novel only Michael Chabon could have written.(front flap)

This was the first book I ever bought at a school book fair and it will remain one of my favorites. I recently decided to read one chapter of it each night to my 6 year old son. I loved the sounds of his giggles and howling laughter as I read the stories that made me laugh so hard I couldn't breathe as a child. I was afraid that he wouldn't love the stories as much as I had as a child. I was also afraid that I wouldn't find the stories as entertaining this time around. I was very wrong! The delightful little children on the top floor of this silly school still put me in stitches and kept my son's usually waivering attention. I am so glad I decided to revisit this part of my childhood and brought my son along for the hilarious ride.
