Albert Woodfox |

A black man's story. A Black Panther. "
Solitary is the unforgettable life story of a man who served more than four decades in solitary confinement—in a 6-foot by 9-foot cell, 23 hours a day, in notorious Angola prison in Louisiana—all for a crime he did not commit " |
| There is nothing for you here |
Fiona Hill |

Her autobiography. How she went from the poor Northeast of the UK to the White House. The book covers a lot of ground, most of which I was fully aware of. She has much criticism of the education systems and how women are held back - quite rightly. |
| And What Do You Do?: What The Royal Family Don't Want You To Know |
Norman Baker |
|
All one ever needed to know about the corruption of the UK monarchy. This should be taught in UK schools - it would lead to a rapid decline in the pathetic support of this over-priviledged family. |

George Monbiot |

A massive book about how we are failing, especially in feeding ourselves and how we could repent and restart.
There is a review of the book here.
Recommended. |

Interesting autobiography of an ARD journalist. |
| What Money Can't Buy: The Moral Limits of Markets |
Michael J. Sandel |
|
An interesting take on the commercialisation of almost everything around us.
What have we allowed to happen? This is a sick society we populate, where people are
consumers above all else. |
