	Bush's Law The Remaking of American Justice Written by Eric Lichtblau In the aftermath of 9/11, President Bush and his top advisors declared that the struggle against terrorism would be nothing less than a war–a new kind of war that would require new tactics, new tools, and a new mind-set. Bush’s Law is the unprecedented account of how the Bush administration employed its “war on terror” to mask the most radical remaking of American justice in generations.

	Road from ar Ramadi The Private Rebellion of Staff Sergeant Camilo Mejía Staff Sergeant Camilo Mejía became the new face of the antiwar movement in early 2004 when he applied for a discharge from the Army as a conscientious objector... Now released after serving almost nine months, the celebrated soldier-turned-pacifist tells his own story, from his upbringing in Central America and his experience as a working-class immigrant in the United States to his service in Iraq—where he witnessed prisoner abuse and was deployed in the Sunni triangle—and time in prison. Far from being an accidental activist, Mejía was raised by prominent Sandinista revolutionaries and draws inspiration from Jesuit teachings. In this stirring book, he argues passionately for human rights and the end to an unjust war.

	American Chestnut The Life, Death, and Rebirth of a Perfect Tree Susan Freinkel The American chestnut was one of America's most common, valued, and beloved trees–a "perfect tree" that ruled the forests from Georgia to Maine. But in the early twentieth century, an exotic plague swept through the chestnut forests with the force of a wildfire. Within forty years, the blight had killed close to four billion trees and left the species teetering on the brink of extinction. It was one of the worst ecological blows to North America since the Ice Age–and one most experts considered beyond repair. In American Chestnut, Susan Freinkel tells the dramatic story of the stubborn optimists who refused to let this cultural icon go.

In a perpetual quest for more money to line their pockets and more power to wield against average citizens, a coalition of big business, the Far and Religious Right and, most terrifyingly, Bush & Co. are assaulting our rights, our liberties, our very democratic system of government by, of, and for the people.

	Song for Night a novella by Chris Abani Part Inferno, part Paradise Lost, and part Sunjiata epic, Song for Night is the story of a West African boy soldier's lyrical, terrifying, yet beautiful journey through the nightmare landscape of a brutal war in search of his lost platoon.

	Acts of Faith: The Story of an American Muslim, the Struggle for the Soul of a Generation Author: Eboo Patel As the assassination of Yitzhak Rabin, the Atlanta Olympics bombing, and 9/11 occurred, Patel saw how religious extremists recruited young people with similar raw emotions and manipulated them into becoming hate-filled murderers.

	MECANIQUES DU CHAOS (LES) Bushisme, prolifération et terrorisme de Pierre CONESA Qui peut douter aujourd’hui que la guerre américaine en Irak a plutôt aggravé, que réduit, les menaces de terrorisme et de prolifération ?

How the Germans proceeded from seemingly unthinkable premises to the actual horror of the Holocaust is the story that he tells in this essential book.

Los cuentos de fútbol que supieron emocionarnos en lo que fue su primer y anterior libro, Esperándolo a Tito, anticiparon lo que ya podía entreverse: que más allá del tema propuesto, Sacheri domina el género con maestría y sabe generar climas, ámbitos y situaciones por los que deambulan sus criaturas, genuinamente argentinas.

	PURO FÚTBOL Roberto Fontanarrosa A pedido del público, se reúnen en este volumen todos los cuentos relacionados con el fútbol escritos hasta ahora por Fontanarrosa e incluidos en sus libros ya publicados. Flechado por la "pasión de multitudes" desde siempre y para siempre, Fontanarrosa no sólo es capaz de quedarse en su habitación de hotel en una soleada tarde de París porque televisan un partido entre el Galatasaray y el Feyenoord (además, amistoso), sino que practicó hasta hace muy poco tiempo el fútbol amateur en ligas barriales de su Rosario natal. Y, como rosarino, hizo su opción: entre leprosos y canallas, eligió a éstos como una instancia vital. Pocos ignoran que es hincha de Rosario Central, pero esta devoción no le impide disfrutar con las artes futbolísticas de cualquier equipo que las exhiba así fuere parándose ante un baldío donde los arcos están marcados por bolsos.

	Buda's Wagon: A Brief History of the Car Bomb Mike Davis A brief history of the car bomb traces the political development of this most influential weapon of terror and resistance On a September day in 1920, an angry Italian anarchist named Mario Buda exploded a horse-drawn wagon filled with dynamite and iron scrap near New York's Wall Street, killing 40 people. Since Buda's prototype the car bomb has evolved into a "poor man's air force," a generic weapon of mass destruction that now craters cities from Bombay to Oklahoma City. In this gripping and disturbing history, Mike Davis traces its worldwide use and development, in the process exposing the role of state intelligence agencies-particularly those of the United States, Israel, India, and Pakistan-in globalizing urban terrorist techniques.

	Cuatro amigos Trueba, David Detrás del desmadrado viaje de vacaciones de cuatro amigos veinteañeros, se esconde una historia de amor. El protagonista, Solo, se suma a la juerga continua y al gamberrismo andante de sus inseparables compañeros tratando de huir del recuerdo de Bárbara, pero cada paso le acerca más a ella, al amor de su vida. La exaltación de la libertad, de la juventud, de la adolescencia eterna termina por recordarles que todo se acaba, que tras las carcajadas asoman las frustraciones. "Cuatro amigos" es el relato agridulce del final de una época, de una edad. David Trueba reincide con su segunda novela en el contraste de tonalidades, entre la pura comedia disparatada y el más desatado romanticismo, y despliega de nuevo su talento narrativo en un espacio muy poco transitado en la nueva literatura española.
