Library News and Notable Books
As the Parking Lot Gains Shape - West of the Crawfordsville District Public Library, in the new parking lot area, a fuel storage tank was discovered under the sidewalk. This tank has been removed. The adjacent soil is being tested and if any soil there proves to be toxic, it too will be removed and replaced.
Meanwhile, on to books, "Megatrends 2010" contains seven ideas that will transform how we work, live, and invest, as Patricia Aburdene discusses the rise of conscious capitalism, social responsibility, and spiritual values. "The Battle for Peace" by Tony Zinni is his view of how America's future should proceed, learned from his experience as Commander-in-Chief of CENTCOM. Jack Goldsmith and Tim Wu write in "Who Controls the Internet" that it might be liberating us from government, borders, and
our physical selves, but also reflect the interests of powerful nations and the conflicts within and between them. In "The Good Fight" Peter Beinart gives his theory why only liberals "can win the war on terror and make America great again". Lessons make up James McGregor's "One Billion Customers", commenting, "Business in China is conducted with a lot of subterfuge - nothing is as it seems and nothing about doing business in China is easy."
"Globaloney" is Michael Veseth's study unraveling the myths of globalization. In "The U.N.
Exposed" Fox News anchor Eric Shawn makes the case that this body has drifted dangerously astray, sabotages America's security, and fails the world. Gilbert Tuhabonye, African genocide survivor now celebrity coach and athlete in Austin, Texas, expresses his forgiveness in "This Voice in My Heart". James Carroll's "House of War" is a sweeping look at the Pentagon and its vast impact on America. Eviatar Zerubavel discusses "open secrets" in which we ignore truths that are known to all of us, as silence and denial exist at every level of society. He says the longer we ignore "The Elephant in the Room", the larger it looms in our minds.
"Wins, Losses, and Lessons" is the autobiography of Lou Holtz, winner of three Coach of the Year honors, who chooses to write about the people who shaped his life and the decisions he made that shaped the lives of so many others. "The Last Algonquin" by Theodore Kazimiroff, son of one who knew the story personally, tells of the last powerful Indians who as recently as 1924 lived in Pelham Bay Park in the Bronx, New York City; Joe Two Trees was the last of his people. "Original Zinn" contains author David Barsamian's conversations with the historian Howard Zinn
about civil disobedience, the role of artists, and remembering our past, portraying the acute perceptions of this Boston University scholar."American Green" by Ted Steinberg is our foremost environmental historian's comments and stories about obsessive quests for the perfect lawn.
"The Collected Works of F.A.Hayek" is a gift from the Liberty Fund. The five volumes include an autobiographical dialogue, photos, essays, documents, correspondence, and reviews, edited by Stephen Kresge and Leif Wenar.
