Delaine Colors.
"I have nothing against snakes, provided that they're hundreds of
miles away from me. And I have nothing against my dad, given the
same set of conditions."
In a fit of questionable judgment, consummate indoorsman John
Sellers tags along on a journey to search for snakes with his
eccentric, aging father--an obsessive fan of Bob Dylan, a giver of
terrible gifts, a drinker of boxed wine, a minister-
turned-heretic, and, most importantly, the self-designated guardian
of the threatened copperbelly water snake.
The quest is their fumbling attempt to reconnect. Decades of
bitterness, substance abuse, acrimonious divorce, and divergent
opinions about personal hygiene have conspired to make the two
estranged. Sellers has just begun to develop a new appreciation for
the American wilderness, and all the slithering creatures that
populate it, when his father's deteriorating health thwarts their
mission and disturbs their tentative peace. Determined to finish
what they started, he ventures back into the swamp-- alone, but
more connected to his dad than ever. With big-hearted humor and
irreverence, "The Old Man and the Swamp "tells the story of a
father who always lived on his own terms and the son who struggled
to make sense of it all.

John Sellers was powerless to resist the call of indie rock -- once
he finally heard it. In this hilarious and revealing memoir,
Sellers meticulously charts his transformation from a teenage
headbanger rebelling against his Dylan-obsessed father to a
thirtysomething fixated on the obscure Ohio band Guided By Voices.
Along the way, he commemorates the deaths of Ian Curtis and Kurt
Cobain, makes a pilgrimage inspired by the Smiths, and riffs on
Pavement and the other raucous bands that have ruled college radio
since the 1980s. Packed with compulsively constructed lists,
ridiculous formulas, and embarrassing confessions, this is a book
for anybody who thinks that corporate rock still sucks.
A Movement of Movements charts the strategic thinking behind the
mosaic of movements currently challenging neoliberal globalization.
Leading theorists and activists-the Zapatistas' Subcomandante
Marcos, Chittaroopa Palit from the Indian Narmada Valley dam
protests, Soweto anti-privatization campaigner Trevor Ngwane,
Brazilian Sem Terra leader Joao Pedro Stedile, and many
more-discuss their personal formation as radicals, the history of
their movements, their analyses of globalization, and the nuts and
bolts of mobilizing against a US-dominated world system. Explaining
how the Global South and the experience of indigenous peoples have
provided such a dynamic and practical inspiration, the contributors
describe the roles anarchism and direct democracy have played, the
contributions and limitations of the World Social Forum at Porto
Alegre as a coordinating focus, and the effects of and responses to
the economic downturn, September 11, and Washington's war on
terror. Their statements, at once personal and visionary, offer a
dazzling new insight into the political imagination of the global
resistance movements.
