Route 66: The Mother Road

Route 66 was the road of dreamers and ramblers, drifters and writers, the road of John Steinbeck, Woody Guthrie, and Jack Kerouac. After 17 years of research, Wallis presents the definitive chronicle of Route 66, from its founding to its interstate-induced demise to its current revival.

Whether World War II made or merely marked the transition of the United States from a major world power to a superpower, the fact remains that America's role in the world around it had undergone a dramatic change. Other nations had long recognized the potential of the United States. They had seen its power exercised regularly in economics, if only sparodically in politics. But World War II, and the landscape it left behind, prompted American leaders and the Congress to conclude that they had to use the nation's strength to protect and advance its interests.

The Poverty of Nations demonstrates that poverty remains a universal phenomenon, even as most parts of the world see increases in affluence of varying degrees. Cutting across the globe, the study focuses on 24 countries including the industrialised economies, planned economies, developing market economies, mixed economies and the least developed economies. Professor Khusro examines the causes of poverty and of development, the impact of colonialism and the industrial revolution and policies for reducing global poverty today. Theoretical questions of measuring poverty are allied to historical and contemporary analysis.

Khusro, A. M.

funny, poignant, and extremely heartfelt novel, An Egg on Three Sticks follows twelve-year-old Abby and captures what it's like for her to watch her mother fall apart (and eventually, fall to pieces) and to take on the burden of holding her family together-all the while dealing with impending teenagehood, first love, and a father who doesn't quite under-stand her. Set in the early 1970s in a Bay Area suburb, Jackie Fischer's debut is an expertly told story full of rich period detail and fully drawn characters, with a unique voice that's spot-on. Snappy, honest, and real, Abby is a young new heroine for us to love.
