The Blue
Cotton Gown, Patricia Harman, October 2008, cloth, $24.95, 978-0-8070-7289-9
Booklist; starred review in October 2008 issue: "The whole
book is touchingly revelatory of how valuable a medical practitioner who
commits more than the current average of four minutes to each patient can
be. It's deeply moving, not least because its stories are told against the
backdrop of Harman's concerns about a practice that teeters on the brink
of insolvency." — Donna Chavez
Love &
Death, Forrest Church, September 2008, cloth, $22.00, 978-0-8070-7293-6
Booklist; review in September 2008 issue: "As pastor of New
York's All Souls Unitarian Church, Church is perhaps most comfortable speaking
in sermons, which may also be especially comforting, now that he has received
a veritable death sentence via terminal cancer, to his congregants and the
readers of his many books … Church speaks directly to the heart with
a message of certain solace to virtually anyone facing the loss of a loved
one." — Donna Chavez
Illegal People,
David Bacon, September 2008, cloth, $25.95, 978-0-8070-4226-7
Booklist; review in September 2008 issue: "Bacon, an award-winning
photojournalist, labor organizer, and immigrant-rights activist, follows the
lives of undocumented workers at the Westin Suite Hotel in California and
a Smithfield meatpacking plant in North Carolina, who travel back and forth
from Mexico to the U.S. … He ties together interviews, personal histories,
and political analysis to provide a vivid image of what life is like for workers
with little rights or protections in an increasingly globalized economy."
— Vanessa Bush
