Power Politics, by Arundhati Roy "Arundhati Roy, the Booker Prize-winning author of The God of Small Things, is writing exquisite essays on globalization. Clear away the tomes and magisterial analyses, the oligarchical apologias, the Thomas Friedman nonsense, and read India's gift to the debate on whether there should be a corporatized world. No one can parse the movement more succinctly or tellingly. No work unmasks the Pharisees of money-led development more achingly. If she continues to upset the globalization applecart like a Tom Paine pamphleteer, she will either be greatly honored or thrown in jail."

Where Mathematics Comes From: How the Embodied Mind Brings Mathematics Into Being, by George Lakoff and Rafael Nùñez "Lakoff and Nùñez explain how even the most abstract mathematical concepts are rooted in metaphors about the human body and sensorimotor system. Venn diagrams and logic are based on notions of physical containment. The number line comes from movement, crossing distances. This book puts mathematicians at the same level as the rest of us; we all apply math whenever we do things like throw a baseball. To use another metaphor, mathematicians are athletes who don't move."
