Though the host of MSNBCs PoliticsNation is as fiery and outspoken as ever about the events and issues that matter most, hes learned that the only way we can get it right as a nation is by getting it right from within. In this his first book in over a decade, Reverend Al will take you behind the scenes of some unexpected places, from officiating Michael Jacksons funeral, hanging out with Jay-Z and President Barack Obama at the White House, to taking charge of the Trayvon Martin case. He will discuss how he came to his unexpected conclusions in such areas as immigration, gay rights, religion and the family. But at the heart of this book is an intimate discussion of his own personal evolution from street activist, pulpit provocateur and civil rights leader to the man his is today, one hundred pounds slimmer and according to the New York Observer, the most thoughtful voice on cable.

Japanese mingei folk crafts : an illustrated guide to the folk arts and artisans of Japan / by Okazaki, Manami,Author(DLC)no2009169421;

The Mingei Folk Crafts movement, founded by philosopher and art historian Soetsu Yanagi and potters Hamada Shoji and Kawai Kanjiro in the early 20th century, celebrates the utilitarian designs in functional objects hand-crafted by village artisans throughout Japan. This book offers an illustrated guide to Japan's rich folk craft traditions and shows why the Mingei philosophy is even more relevant today than it was a century ago. Folk crafts have become associated with the Slow Life movement and the Wabi Sabi philosophy which values simple and imperfect items above the bright and shiny mass-produced objects of our modern culture.
