This well-researched book tells the fascinating story of the then-most-famous liner in the world, the Mauretania. Built for the North Atlantic she was created to regain the fabled Blue Ribband that had been taken from Great Britain by a rapidly expanding and imperially ambitious Germany. Although she and her sistership, Lusitania, did regain the Ribband, speed was only part of the reason of why she had been constructed; rapid conversion into an Armed Merchant Cruiser in time of war was a role never realized as, when war finally came, this Cunard liner became a fast troopship and a hospital ship. After the Armistice, "The Grand Old Lady of the North Atlantic" continued to astound, retaining the Blue Ribband for an amazing 22 years David Hutching re-examines this legendary ship.Binding Type: Hardcover

An excellent book...a must read!
Format: Paperback
Ruthie Gilmore's examination of California's prison-industrial complex paints a sobering portrait of the effects of the state's post-industrial decline in the past quarter century. Supplemented by numerous charts, maps, and statistics, Gilmore argues that the massive prison-building project that began in the early 1980s was rooted in earlier developments, namely the failure of the "welfare-warfare state" to absorb the numerous surpluses created by political and economic restructuring. Combining theory and historical-sociological analysis, this highly readable book is at once depressing and optimistic; it lays out the facts and guidelines for pursuing meaningful, antiracist struggles against the systemic dehumanization of immigrants, low-wage workers, and youths of color that continues to characterize U.S. political culture.

Beautiful Storytelling
Format: Hardcover
In a day and time when gentleness and positive imagination is needed for children, I was moved by this book in the best possible way. The storytelling was restrained and beautiful, allowing the illustrations to carry much of the story. I was truly emotional, in a gentle and grounded way, as I read this story. Every child should have the chance to find their wild side and do it in a safe environment, and this book shows you just how it can feel when it happens. The illustrations are perfect, and gorgeous, and lifted the story up to a new level of enjoyment. I cannot wait to share it with my 6-year-old granddaughter, and I honestly plan to many to give as gifts.
