DARWIN: PORTRAIT OF A GENIUS
JOHNSON, PAUL
Skylight Books – Hotlist Fall 2012
Darwin’s revolutionary career is the perfect vehicle for historian Paul Johnson. Marked by the insightful
observation, spectacular wit, and highly readable prose for which Johnson is so well regarded, Darwin brings the
gentleman-scientist and his times brilliantly into focus. From Darwin’s birth into great fortune to his voyage
aboard the Beagle, to the long-delayed publication of his masterpiece, Johnson delves into what made this
Victorian gentleman into a visionary scientist—and into the tragic flaws that later led Darwin to support the
burgeoning eugenics movement.

DAYS OF DESTRUCTION, DAYS OF REVOLT
HEDGES, CHRIS & SACCO, JOE
With illustrations by award-winning comic artist Joe Sacco, Chris Hedges portrays a suffering nation on the cusp
of widespread revolt and addresses Occupy Wall Street in his first book since the international protests began.
In the tradition of Let Us Now Praise Famous Men, Hedges and Sacco travel to the depressed pockets of the
United States to report on recession-era America. What they find in Camden, New Jersey, the devastated
coalmines of West Virginia, on the Lakota reservation in South Dakota, and in undocumented farmworker
colonies in California is a thriving neofeudalism. With extraordinary on-the-ground reportage and illustration,
Days of Destruction, Days of Revolt provides a terrifying glimpse of a future for America and the nations that
follow her lead--a future that will be avoided with nothing short of revolution.
