The Combination
by Ashley NelsonFrom the Publisher: In The Combination, Ashley Nelson paints a beautiful, nuanced portrait of life in one of downtown New Orleans's oldest public housing complexes, the Lafitte. Nelson, who grew up in the project, begins with her own family, merging their often painful history, including her parents' drug use and her mother's death from cancer, through the daily life of the community. A brilliant, lyrical observer, Nelson's interviews let the reader hear from voices rarely engaged: a woman who collects cans for a living, the owner of the corner store, neighborhood drug dealers, the project's Residential Council, and other members of the community more often profiled in grim statistics than actually listened to. She writes about and photographs much of Lafitte and the Sixth Ward, from second lines to ward signs, from the Wild Side to the Real Side, from Dooky Chase to Southern Scrap, stories and images now weighted with an almost unbearable poignancy. This book, part of the Neighborhood Story Project, conveys the depths of people's challenges along with the entrenched violence, racism, and fights for survival in their lives without whining. Nelson's description of her Grandmother's end-of-life struggle with Alzheimer's is short, compassionate, and heart-wrenching.

Conservative Victory: Defeating Obama's Radical Agenda
by Sean HannityBarack Obama and his radical team of self-professed socialists, fringe activists, and others are trying to remake the American way of life. They have used their new Democratic majority to launch an alarming assault on our capitalist system--while abandoning the war on terror, undermining our national security, and weakening our position in the eyes of our enemies. The "candidate of change" is threatening to change our country irreparably, and for the worse--if we don't act to stop him now. Sean Hannity has been sounding the alarms about Obama and his agenda from the start. Now--in his first new book in six years--he issues a stirring call to action. Hannity surveys all the major Obama players--from the president's affiliation with radical theology to his advisers' history of Marxist activism, repression of the media, support for leftist dictators, and worse. He exposes their resulting campaign to dismantle the American free-market system and forfeit our national sovereignty. But he draws on the examples of Ronald Reagan and the GOP's Contract with America to show how conservatives can unite behind this country's most cherished principles and act now to get America back on the right track--while we still can.

Because if they find us . . . well, we just won't let them find us. The thing you should know is that everyone is in really big trouble. Yeah. Even you. Jake's grandfather has died. It blows the family away -- especially Jake's mom. So Jake's parents decide they should all travel to the grandfather's home to help with any arrangements. In another state. For three or four days. This is a very big problem for Jake's brother, Tom. He can't be away from the Yeerk pool for that long. So Tom refuses go -- and his father insists. But Tom's Yeerk will do anything to survive. Including making his father less of a problem. Now Jake, the other Animorphs, and Ax have to find a way to protect his father without Tom discovering their secret. And without having to choose between his father's life. . . and Tom's.
