How the hell did this happen? : the election of 2016 / by O'Rourke, P. J.,author.;
"No comedian could have written the joke this election cycle has been. The punch line is too ridiculous (whoever the punch line is going to be). Or, as celebrated political satirist, journalist, and diehard Republican P. J. O'Rourke put it in his endorsement of Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton: "America is experiencing the most severe outbreak of mass psychosis since the Salem witch trials of 1692." In his latest book, P.J. brings his critical eye and inimitable voice to some serious risky business. How the Hell Did This Happen? begins with him diving into the pig pile of presidential candidates circa June 2015 including Jim ("who?") Webb, Scott Walker ("America's chance to have a President who gets carded every time he orders a beer"), Ted Cruz ("crazy like a fox--no, like a Fox News broadcast), Bernie Sanders ("Trump for people still living in their parents' basements"), and Donald Trump himself ("Landlord of the Flies"). P.J. eviscerates each frontrunner as he or she emerges from under the rock where they've all been living. He covers the dreadful key primaries and candidate debates, takes us through his come-to-Satan moment with Hillary, and leads the way into the Beginning of End Times in November"--

Annie Pootoogook : cutting ice = Ini Putugu : tukisitittisimavuq takusinnggittunik / by Campbell, Nancy,1965-author.; Campbell, Nancy,1965-Annie Pootoogook.; Campbell, Nancy,1965-Annie Pootoogook.Inuktitut.; McMichael Canadian Art Collection,issuing body.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."The life and death of Annie Pootoogook (1969-2016) became a national story when her body was recovered from the Rideau River in Ottawa in September 2016. The complexities of her short 47 years speak to both possibility and heartbreak, issues of truth and reconciliation, the richness of community, and the depths of tragedy. Her arresting pencil crayon drawings recording the details of her life have had a significant impact on both the contemporary art of her Inuit community and Canada at large. Her drawings and her legacy, depict a community in transition; one that respects its past and is negotiating its future."--Co-published by: McMichael Canadian Art Collection.

Cuba libre! : Che, Fidel, and the improbable revolution that changed world history / by Perrottet, Tony,author.;
"Historian and travel writer Tony Perrottet chronicles the events of the Cuban Revolution and the figures at the center of the guerrilla uprising: Che Guevara, Fidel Castro, and the scrappy band of rebel men and women who followed them. Most people are familiar with the general timeline of the Cuban Revolution of 1956-1958: It was led by two of the 20th century's most iconic figures, Fidel Castro and Che Guevara; it successfully overthrew the island nation's US-backed dictator; and it quickly went awry under Castro's rule. But less is commonly remembered about the amateur nature of the upstart movement, or the lives of its players. In this wildly entertaining and meticulously researched account, Tony Perrottet unravels the human drama behind history's most improbable revolution: a scruffy handful of self-taught revolutionaries--many of them kids just out of college, literature majors, art students and young lawyers, and including a number of women--defeated 40,000 professional soldiers to overthrow thedictatorship of Fulgencio Batista. Cuba Libre's deep dive into the revolution reveals fascinating details: How did Fidel's highly organized lover Celia Sanchez whip the male guerrillas into shape? Who were the two dozen American volunteers who joined theCuban rebels? How do you make lethal land mines from condensed milk cans -- or, for that matter, cook chorizo à la guerrilla (sausage guerrilla-style)? Cuba Libre is an entertaining look back at a liberation movement that captured the imaginationof the world with its spectacular drama, foolhardy bravery, tragedy, and, sometimes, high comedy--and that set the stage for a buildup of Cold War tension that became a pivotal moment in history"--"A pop-history account of the Cuban Revolution"--
