Beacon is pleased to announce the acquisition of a new book about community
recovery efforts in post-Katrina New Orleans. Grassroots Recovery follows
the lives of community organizers and activists in six neighborhoods, from the
day of the hurricane to the present, as they struggle against the hurdles of
bureaucratic ineptness and delay in their efforts to rebuild their homes and
communities against considerable odds. Living and working in New Orleans, Wooten
interviewed over 100 residents, and hones in here on several remarkable figures
in each neighborhood who are the movers and shakers in the recovery process.
Featuring a foreword by Walter Isaacson, Grassroots Recovery tells an
inside story about what has happened in New Orleans in the wake of Katrina.

We are delighted to be publishing a new book by noted sports journalist Mark
Hyman. The Most Expensive Game in Town probes the corrosive effects of
commercialism on youth sports, examining the business of youth sports from many
sides: the major corporations, small entrepreneurs, coaches, parents and, of
course, kids. Following the money, Hyman examines the reasons for rapid changes
in what gets bought and sold in this lucrative marketplace, and through extensive
interviews and reporting, explains the many ways these changes are distorting
and diminishing children’s sports games. Fall 2012.
