Ever feel like there's more to the story than what is at face value? There's a little paranoia in all of us and evidently publishers are responding to some kind of demand, since they keep on publishing them... But how do you search for them in our catalog?
For recent books on getting at the truth in the marketplace, here is one quick link:
(the keywords in the subject heading of this search are: consumer education)
http://catalog.wccls.org/polaris/view.aspx?subject=consumer+education+finance
and then click sort by Publication Date and click go to get the new ones ranked to the top-- other keywords you could enter now at this point: consumer protection.
A title that comes to mind in this list is Stop Getting Ripped Off by Bob Sullivan
For recent books on being fed up with what's supposed to be "News" these days, here's a couple of quick links:
http://catalog.wccls.org/polaris/view.aspx?subject=mass+media
and then click sort by Publication Date and "go"-- for date ranking
A title that comes to mind in this list is Empire of Illusion by Chris Hedges
For recent books about what's in your food these days, try keywords food industry trade
http://catalog.wccls.org/polaris/view.aspx?keyword=food+industry+trade
and then click sort by Publication Date and "go"-- for date ranking
A title that comes to mind is Food, Inc: How Industrial Food is Making us Sicker, Fatter and Poorer.
On the other hand, King Corn, a fascinating DVD about the corn industry, doesn't come up in this search.
http://catalog.wccls.org/polaris/view.aspx?subject=genetically+modified+foods
Then again, you can go out for the subject heading keyword "conspiracies" and find a plethora
of titles.
http://catalog.wccls.org/polaris/view.aspx?subject=conspiracies+united+states
Then again, there's this global financial crisis and who's to blame...
http://catalog.wccls.org/polaris/view.aspx?keyword=financial+cris*+econ*
One coming out soon on this is called the Big Short by Michael Lewis.
