Everyone should have a survival pantry. It really is that simple. Maybe you don't believe in the "zombie apocalypse" like your crazy neighbor up the road (doesn't everybody have one of those, or is it just my luck?) and that's fine. There are many more practical reasons to store and preserve foods and potable water. Think hurricanes, tornadoes, rampant wildfires, and other natural disasters. Think terrorism.

Perhaps the greatest blind spot of Western civilization has been its persistent inability to see other civilizations from their own point of view; to put ourselves in their shoes, as it were. The colonial record, in particular, is one of viewing the Other as inferior, and in need of Westernization—a perspective that has brought death, and untold misery, to millions. Franz Boas, known as the “father of American anthropology,” believed that anthropological research might be able to correct this distorted perspective, and that, in his words, we might learn “to tolerate to a greater ...

The sub-prime mortgage crisis was only the beginning: a more profound economic and political restructuring was on the way. The astronomical leverage at investment banks with their hedge fund and private equity clients virtually guaranteed massive disruption in global markets. A quarter century of free-market zealotry that extolled asset stripping, abusive lending, and hedge fund secrecy came crashing down with it. Continued denial and concealment caused the crisis to stretch out for years, but financial and government leaders still downplayed the problem.

All In My Head is a memoir by a woman who in her early 50s received a life-shattering diagnosis.

In the summers of the early 1970s, Morris Ardoin and his siblings helped run their family's roadside motel in a hot, buggy, bayou town in Cajun Louisiana. The stifling, sticky heat inspired them to find creative ways to stay cool and out of trouble. When they were not doing their chores — handling a colorful cast of customers, scrubbing motel-room toilets, plucking chicken bones and used condoms from under the beds — they played canasta, an old ladies’ game that provided them with a refuge from the sun and helped them avoid their violent, troubled father.

But when a decades-old murderous secret bubbles to the surface and forces him and his wife to reconcile with the shadows of their past, they know it might well be their demise.

In 1972, philosopher of science Thomas Kuhn threw an ashtray at Errol Morris. This book is the result. At the time, Morris was a graduate student. Now we know him as one of the most celebrated and restlessly probing filmmakers of our time, the creator of such classics of documentary investigation as The Thin Blue Line. Kuhn was—and, posthumously, remains—a star in his field and author of The Structure of Scientific Revolutions, a landmark book that introduced the concept of "paradigm shifts" to the larger culture. And Morris thought the idea was bunk.
