Here are the voices of London - rich and poor, native and
immigrant, women and men - witnessed by Craig Taylor, an acclaimed
journalist, playwright and writer, who spent five years exploring
the city and listening to its residents. From the woman whose voice
announces the stations on the London Underground to the man who
plants the trees along Oxford Street; from a Pakistani currency
trader to a Guardsman at Buckingham Palace - together, these voices
and many more, paint a vivid, epic and wholly fresh portrait of
Twenty-First Century London.

Wonderful account of one of the top Battle of Britain fighter

David Danelo spent three months traveling the 1,952 miles that
separate the United States and Mexico - a journey that took him
across four states and two countries through a world of rivers and
canals, mountains and deserts, highways and dirt roads, fences and
border towns. Here the border isn't just an abstraction thrown
around in political debates in Washington; it's a physical reality,
infinitely more complex than most politicians believe. Danelo's
investigative report about a complex, longstanding debate that
became a central issue of the 2016 presidential race examines the
border in human terms through a cast of colorful characters. As
topical today as it was when Danelo made his trek, this revised and
updated edition asks and answers the core questions: Should we
close the border? Is a fence or wall the answer? Is the U.S.
government capable of fully securing the border?
