"A beautiful example of people's history" is what Howard Zinn calls HARVEY WASSERMAN'S HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES. This wildly readable, much-loved cult classic has thrilled general readers and graced high school and college courses since 1972. Robber Barons, farmers, workers and Bohemian hippies are the heroes and heroines, villains and imperialists of this uniquely compelling, bottom-up and fully footnoted tale of how the US transformed from a farm-based society to a world power. Rolling Stone calls this book "enjoyable to read" and Dr. Benjamin Spock called it "riveting history." "Harvey Wasserman is truly an original," adds Studs Terkel. There is no other history of the US like this one. Must reading for all who love and teach our national story. Available through Ingram Book Company or order online at www.harveywasserman.com.

With over 500 million users worldwide, Microsoft's PowerPoint software has become the ubiquitous tool for nearly all forms of public presentation—in schools, government agencies, the military, and, of course, offices everywhere. In this revealing and powerfully argued book, author Franck Frommer shows us that PowerPoint's celebrated ease and efficiency actually mask a profoundly disturbing but little-understood transformation in human communication. Using fascinating examples (including the most famous PowerPoint presentation of all: Colin Powell's indictment of Iraq before the United Nations), Frommer systematically deconstructs the slides, bulleted lists, and flashy graphics we all now t...

When the Women’s March gathered millions just one day after Trump’s inauguration, a new era of progressive action was born. Organizing on the far Right led to Trump’s election, bringing authoritarianism and the specter of neo-fascism, and intensifying corporate capitalism’s growing crises of inequality and injustices. Yet now we see a new universalizing resistance among progressive and left movements for truth, dignity, and a world based on democracy, equality, and sustainability. Derber offers the first comprehensive guide to this new era and an original vision and strategy for movement success. He convincingly shows how only a new universalizing wave, a progressive a...

This is the number one source book for the theft of the 2004 presidential election and control of the 2008 presidential contest, compiled by the reporters Rev. Jesse Jackson calls "the Woodward & Bernstein of the 2004 election." This blunt, hard-hitting digest outlines and sources point-by-point what happened in Ohio to in 2004 to give George W. Bush a second term. Written by the two reporters who made this a global story, there is no more essential guidebook for electoral politics in the new millennium.
