Chip Ward: Canaries On The Rim
-
Modern Times Bookstore, 888 Valencia St.
The desert lands of western Utah hide the nation's dirtiest
industrial polluter, two toxic waste incinerators, a hazardous
waste dump, a radioactive waste landfill, a bombing range, and a
proposed repository for spent nuclear fuel. This is Chip Ward's
backyard. More than just a chronicle of life as a downwinder,
Canaries on the Rim is the story of grassroots activism and the
heroism of an ordinary couple caught up in a struggle they never
asked for.

Gina Kolata: Flu
-
The Booksmith, 1644 Haight St.
In 1918, the Great Flu killed an estimated 40 million people. No
one on the face of the earth was safe as the pandemic raged. Some
eighty years later scientists unearthed shards of the flu virus in
human remains frozen in the Arctic tundra. New York Times science
reporter Gina Kolata tells the riveting story of this mysterious
killer in Flu: The Great Influenza Pandemic of 1918 and the Search
for the Virus That Caused It.

Neeli Cherkovski: Whitman's Wild Children
-
Stacey's Bookstore, 581 Market St.
In "Whitman's Wild Children," Neeli Cherkovski looks at twelve
contemporary beat poets who, like Whitman, took "his own road" and
had little to do with what was thought acceptable to mainstream
America. They, again like Whitman, shook off preconceptions of form
and content and allowed intuition to lead them forward. Cherkovski
is co-director of The Graduate Program in Writing and Consciousness
at New College of California and the author of several books of
poetry and critically acclaimed biographies of Lawrence
Ferlinghetti and Charles Bukowski.
