"July 2002 - nine men are trapped in a collapsed mine with no food or drinking water. In their underground grave the waters are rising and the oxygen vanishing. They face imminent death from suffocation or drowning. Miraculously all nine of the miners survived. It took 77 hours to rescue them from a tiny, pitch-black chamber of rock, only 3 feet high. This is their terrifying and moving story. The only official story, told in the miners' own voices, with chapters from their wives, girlfriends and mothers who waited up above with increasing desperation. This is a rare, and raw, book. How did these nine men prepare for death? What did they think about as the waters rose, as breathing became harder and harder-? A nail biting and life-changing account of a nearly tragic disaster."

Long dismissed as a relic of a bygone era, coal is back -- with a vengeance. Coal is one of the nation's biggest and most influential industries -- Big Coal provides more than half the electricity consumed by Americans today -- and its dominance is growing, driven by rising oil prices and calls for energy independence. Is coal the solution to America's energy problems? On close examination, the glowing promise of coal quickly turns to ash. Coal mining remains a deadly and environmentally destructive industry. Nearly forty percent of the carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere each year comes from coal-fired power plants. In the last two decades, air pollution from coal plants has killed more than half a million Americans. In this eye-opening call to action, Goodell explains the costs and consequences of America's addiction to coal and discusses how we can kick the habit.

In Sunnyvale, California, in 1979, Jeff Goodell's family lived quietly on Meadowlark Lane, unaware that their town was soon to become ground zero in the digital revolution. Over the course of the next decade, as Silicon Valley boomed, the Goodell family unraveled. Splintered by their parent's divorce, Jeff and his siblings careen toward self-destruction, while their parents end up on opposite sides of the technological divide: their mother succeeds beyond her wildest dreams at "a small company with a dopey rainbow-colored logo," called Apple, while their father refuses to keep up with the times and loses his landscaping business. Affecting and personal, Sunnyvale is a portrait of one family's fate in a brutally Darwinian world. It is also a thoughtful examination of what has happened to the American family in the face of the technological revolution.
