1776
By David McCullough
In this stirring book, David McCullough tells the intensely human story of those who marched with
General George Washington in the year of the Declaration of Independence - when the whole American
cause was riding on their success, without which all hope for independence would have been dashed
and the noble ideals of the Declaration would have amounted to little more than words on paper.

Almost Midnight: An American Story of Murder and Redemption
By Michael Cuneo
The haunting true story of a triple murder in the Ozarks, two lovers on the lam, and a death-row
inmate saved by the Pope.The crime took place in a region known mostly for Pentecostal fervor,
country music, and family-friendly tourism. But soon the murders would expose a dark underbelly in
the Ozarks: Lloyd Lawrence was a notoriously violent crystal-meth kingpin, killed by an aspiring
drug dealer named Darrell Mease. Capturing the raw circumstances that took Mease from his clean-cut
youth to the front lines of Vietnam and an aftermath of drug use, Almost Midnight unites an
unforgettable range of characters in some of America's most peculiar locales.

Bruce Springsteen's America
By Robert Coles
The Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Children of Crisis places Bruce
Springsteen in the literary tradition of poets and people and explores how
the singer's words resonate with the lives of ordinary Americans today.
He shows Springsteen to be representative of a uniquely American ideology -
an icon who does not simply personify the culture of which he is a part but
rather engages it, interacts with its people, in a conversation that has
helped to shape a distinct way of looking at, and living, American life
today. Photos throughout.

The Ingenuity Gap
By Thomas Homer-Dixon
The challenges facing human societies -- from international financial crises
to AIDS -- converge, intertwine and often remain largely beyond readers'
understanding. Homer-Dixon makes clear the extent to which readers live
with, construct and depend upon systems they little understand--systems of
law, the market, of institutions and technologies.

Life Is So Good
By George Dawson
What makes a happy person, a happy life? In this book, George Dawson, a
101-year-old man who learned to read when he was 98, reflects on the

as he offers valuable lessons in living and a fresh, firsthand view of
America during the twentieth century." And throughout his story, George
Dawson inspires the reader with the message that sustained him happily for
more than a century: "Life is so good. I do believe it's getting better."

The Lost Art of Drawing the Line: How Fairness Went Too Far
By Phillip K. Howard
The Lost Art of Drawing the Line will appall and irritate -- and
entertain -- readers every bit as much as Philip Howard's first book.
Philip Howard traces our well-meaning effort to protect individuals
through the twentieth century, with the unintended result that we have lost
much of our individual freedom. Buttressed with scores of stories that make
you want to collar the next self-centered jerk or hapless bureaucrat, The
Lost Art of Drawing the Line demonstrates once again that Philip Howard
is "trying to drive us all sane".
