This book is a compelling portrait of Hetheringtons life and career, exploring the risks, challenges, and thrills of contemporary war photography. Hetheringtons dedication to his career led him time after time into war zones, and, unlike some other journalists, he did not pack up after the story had broken. In 2003, after the Liberian civil war ended, Hetherington stayed in the country for three years, helping the United Nations track down human rights criminals. He was profoundly interested in the relationship between young men and war, and the feedback loop that images of war create: many young soldiers he encountered seemed to be emulating the images of warriors theyd seen in photos and on television. Hetherington continued his investigation of this theme in Libya, where he travelled to the most dangerous part of the frontline on what would be his final assignment. Only his photographs and video footage survived. This book is a testament to the tireless work of Hetherington and photographers like him, people who risk--and sometimes lose--their lives in order to give a voice to those devastated by conflict.--From publisher description. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1715299 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1738934 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1738256 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1713998 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1704111 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1687228 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1682862 Illuminates the friendships that have influenced, nourished, inspired, and haunted the author--and sometimes torn her apart--each of which has its own lessons that she seeks to understand. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1704121 The man who was selected by President Barack Obama to come out of retirement and turn around the nearly bankrupt General Motors after its financial bailout in 2009 offers a memoir of his successes at that company, as well as AT&T. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1694353 Sampson Davis is best known as one of three friends from inner-city Newark who made a pact in high school to become doctors. In this book, Dr. Davis looks at the health-care crisis in the inner city from a rare perspective: that of a doctor who works on the front line of emergency medical care in the community where he grew up and as a member of that community who has faced the same challenges as the people he treats every day. He also offers invaluable practical advice for those living in such communities, where conditions like asthma, heart disease, strokes, obesity, and AIDS are disproportionately endemic. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1734588 A portrait of the Detroit Tigers pitcher who died in a 2009 accident recounts his rise from small-town Massachusetts to the major leagues, the on-field eccentricities that endeared him to fans, and the injuries that cut his career short. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1731339 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1738935 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1715312 Draws on the recently opened archives of Ted Hughes to offer new insights into the iconic poets psyche and literary achievements, in a portrait that includes previously unpublished papers and dozens of letters exchanged between Plath and Hughes. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1705586 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1738270 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1712336 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1696191 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1742052 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1696460 In this unique, 360-degree look, Plump delivers a searing, confessional story about the challenges of marriage.

Whitey Bulger, the crime boss and killer who brought the FBI to its knees. He is an American original--a psychopath who fostered a following with a frightening mix of terror, deadly intimidation and the deft touch of a politician who often helped a family in need meet their monthly rent. But the history shows that despite the early false myths portraying him as a Robin Hood figure, Whitey was a supreme narcissist, and everything--every interaction with family and his politician brother Bill Bulger, with underworld cohorts, with law enforcement, with his South Boston neighbors, and with his victims--was always about him. In an Irish-American neighborhood where loyalty has always been rule one, the Bulger brand was loyalty to oneself. Whitey deconstructs Bulgers insatiable hunger for power and control. Building on their years of reporting and uncovering new Bulger family records, letters and prison files, Dick Lehr and Gerard ONeill examine and reveal the factors and forces that created the monster. Its a deeply rendered portrait of evil that spans nearly a century, taking Whitey from the streets of his boyhood Southie in the 1940s to his cell in Alcatraz in the 1950s to his cunning, corrupt pact with the FBI in the 1970s and, finally, to Santa Monica, California where for fifteen years he was hiding in plain sight as one of the FBIs Ten Most Wanted. In a lifetime of crime and murder that ended with his arrest in June 2011, Whitey Bulger became one of the most powerful and deadly crime bosses of the twentieth century. This is his story.--from cover http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1731403 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1705578 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1738266 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1693176 The extraordinary life of the man who founded Islam, and the world he inhabited-- and remade. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1744324 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1734598 A portrait of the dynamic Emanuel brothers cites their achievements in medicine, politics, and Hollywood, offering insight into the family history, unique upbringing, and social atmosphere that influenced their lives. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1696589 Describes the authors experiences as a young widow and the pivotal relationships she forged with five other widows, recounting the stories of their losses and bravery as exchanged throughout a year of monthly Saturday night meetings. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1712346 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1731182 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1744186 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1731341 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1734637 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1682803 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1731374 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1712324 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1741948 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1704559 the niece of controversial Scientology leader David Miscavige presents a tell-all memoir about her life in the Church of Scientology. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1704979 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1687245 The story of Eadweard Muybridge, inventor of stop-motion photography and moving pictures--who was also a murderer--and his relationship with Leland Stanford, the wealthy railroad baron and founder of Stanford University. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1713096 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1738340 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1696174 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1738259 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1687159
