We are living through a time when real social change seems to be in the rearview mirror. But this rousing new book offers a beacon of hope: the stories of organizers who have shown America the way forward in the darkest of times. Author of the celebrated A History of America in Ten Strikes (a Kirkus Reviews best book of 2018), Erik Loomis uncovers a rich and revealing history of social change activism with immediate relevance to our present. In twenty short biographies, Organizing America tells the story of America through its most important organizers. A chronological story with a vast sweep, Organizing America considers a cross section of social justice activists across time, race, gender, and movement, examining lives as varied as Benjamin Lay, Ida B. Wells, Eugene V. Debs, Elizabeth Gurley Flynn, Bob Moses, Yuri Kochiyama, Daniel Berrigan, Dolores Huerta, Barbara Gittings, and many more. With an introduction that explains what organizing is and how collective action works--and how we should think about the power of organizing in 2025 and beyond--Loomis sets a tone that is both practical and historical, providing context and inspiration for anyone seeking to step into the work of changing America for the better.- Subjects: Biographies.; Social reformers; Political activists; Community activists; Minority activists; Social movements; Community organization;

That's what the Guardians of the Galaxy and the X-Men are about to find out. The two teams' pair of star-crossed lovers, Star-Lord and Kitty Pryde, have stolen this ancient artifact to keep it out of the hands of Peter Quill's father, the deposed Spartax emperor who now calls himself Mister Knife. But the Vortex offers a glimpse of cosmic power to anyone who peers within. An item of such value has no shortage of suitors. Mister Knife wants it back, and at his side stand his Slaughter Lords and the son of Thanos. Could this dark mirror deliver unto Thane the full legacy of the Mad Titan? Then, never far from interestellar conflict, there are the Kree and their warlord, Ronan the Accuser. To keep their prize safe from mounting threats, Peter and Kitty will need all their allies - including Storm, Beast, Captain Marvel, Nova and the time-torn original X-Men, who may soon be reunited with the space-faring teenage Cyclops. But with the fate of the universe at stake, will one or more of the united heroes succumb to temptation and embrace the gifts offered by the Black Vortex? Could absolute power corrupt the Guardians and the X-Men?- Subjects: Comics (Graphic works); Fiction.; Graphic novels.; Superhero comics.; Space warfare; X-Men (Fictitious characters);
