Hardback. Zustand: Very Good. Whistleblowers pay with their lives to save ours. When insiders like former NSA analyst Edward Snowden or ex-FBI agent Coleen Rowley or Big Tobacco truth-teller Jeffrey Wigand blow the whistle on high-level lying, lawbreaking or other wrongdoingwhether it's government spying, corporate murder or scientific scandalthe public benefits enormously. Wars are ended, deadly products are taken off the market, white-collar criminals are sent to jail. The whistleblowers themselves, however, generally end up ruined.

Hardback. Zustand: Good. Hot bravely takes aim at perhaps the greatest climate threat of all: apathy. Eric Schlosser, author of Fast Food Nation Hertsgaard s answers . . . are lucid, realistic, and offer reason for hope. Christian Science Monitor For twenty years, Mark Hertsgaard has investigated global warming as a journalist, but the full truth did not hit home until he became a father and, soon thereafter, learned that climate change was bound to worsen for decades to come. Hertsgaard's daughter is part of what he has dubbed Generation Hot the two billion young people worldwide who will spend the rest of their lives coping with climate disruption. Drawing on reporting from around the world, Hot is a call to action that injects hope and solutions into a debate characterized by doom and gloom and offers a blueprint for how all of us ? parents, communities, countries ? can navigate an unavoidable new era.

Boston Globe MARK HERTSGARD, called one of America s finest reporters by Barbara Ehrenreich, covers climate change for Vanity Fair, The Nation, and L'Espresso. He is the author of six books, which have been translated into sixteen languages, including Earth Odyssey.…
