Paperback. Condition: Good. John Braimoh, an assistant superintendent of the Nigerian police, becomes involved in a seemingly noble cause corruption case-the killing of five apparently deviant youths in Abuja, a situation in which his closest friend and colleague, and four other officers are deeply embroiled. The killings attract the attention of Nigeria's human rights and civil society organisations. John is summoned to testify before police's investigating panel, the Force Disciplinary Committee (FDC). As the date of his testimony approaches, unknown elements issue death threats to John and his family, intent on goading him to reveal the truth to the FDC. At the FDC, Braimoh doesn't come clean-which leads to dire consequences.As he tries to untangle himself from the resultant web, John is drawn even deeper into the murkier world of Nigerian politics and international espionage. He unwittingly finds himself in the middle of a turf war between two major international drug cartels engaged in a bloody battle to dominate the Nigerian market and route for peddling illegal narcotics to Europe and Asia.…

Paperback. Condition: Good. The world's food production is undergoing a rapid and revolutionary transformation, but little is known about it and less is being done to question the wisdom of it. Within a very few years, much of what we eat will have been genetically engineered, without proper consideration of the issues of public health, consumer choice and ecological stability. Against the Grain argues that the consequences of this huge experiment could be catastrophic, and at the very least have been underestimated or ignored by the industries exploiting the new technologies. The authors have unearthed government and industry documents which show these new methods to be far from fail-safe or risk free. Comprehensively supported with facts and references, the book provides a full account of the science and technologies involved in producing 'transgenic plants'. It also explains the scale and speed of what is going on, and argues for full public accountability and control of new developments - before it is too late.…

Paperback. Condition: Good. Bravo A vivid, well-aimed critique of the evils of US global interventionism, a superb antidote to officialdom's lies and propaganda.--Michael ParentiRogue State forcibly reminds us of Vice President Agnew's immortal line, 'The United States, for all its faults, is still the greatest nation in the country.'--Gore VidalBill Blum came by his book title easily: He simply tested America by the same standards we use to judge other countries. The result is a bill of wrongs--an especially well-documented encyclopedia of malfeasance, mendacity and mayhem that has been hypocritically carried out in the name of democracy by those whose only true love was power.--Sam SmithWilliam Blum's latest book is Freeing the World To Death: Essays on the American Empire.…

Paperback. Condition: Good. Soaring costs. No price controls. More employers reducing or dropping coverage. Insurance covering only 70 percent of our health care costs. More Americans going without necessary health care. Increasing medical bankruptcies. Sound familiar? Added to this will be fines of up to 2.5 percent of our income if we fail to purchase the industry's defective products. This is our future in the aftermath of Health Care Reform 2010, guided by a failing industry bailed out by new government subsidies. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 (PACA) is being spun as the answer to our problems of health care access, costs and quality. But the dirty little secret is that the reform effort has been stolen by the very corporate interests that have perpetuated and profited from these problems for years. The result is a bailout of a failing insurance industry and a bonanza for Wall Street. Most Americans and Main Street lose once again. The need for real health care reform remains urgent.This well-documented book charts a path to that end. Hijacked: The Road to Single Payer in the Aftermath of Stolen Health Care Reform is essential reading for anyone who wants to better understand how our health care system got this way and what we can do about it.…
