Books Inc. in the Castro: Stuart E. Weisberg @ Books Inc. Castro (November 19 at 7:30pm)
Stuart E. Weisberg reads from Barney Frank: The Story of America's Only Left-Handed, Gay, Jewish Congressman.
Author Stuart E. Weisberg will be joining us to read from his latest book “Barney Frank: The Story of America’s Only Left-Handed, Gay, Jewish Congressman.” In a survey conducted by Washingtonian magazine, Barney Frank was rated the smartest, funniest, and most eloquent member of Congress. A mainstay ... (more)in the House of Representatives since 1981, he has come to be known for his talent as a legislator, his zeal for verbal combat, his imposing intellect, and a quick wit that both disarms and entertains other lawmakers. Most recently, as chair of the Financial Services Committee, he was instrumental in crafting a compromise bill to stem the tide of home mortgage foreclosures, as well as the subsequent $700 billion "rescue plan." Based on interviews with over 150 people, including more than twenty-five hours with Frank himself, this biography reconstructs for the first time his life and career, from his working-class childhood in Bayonne, New Jersey, to his years at Harvard and in Boston politics, through his rise to national prominence. Stuart Weisberg captures Frank in all his quirkiness, irreverence, and complexity. He also examines his less appealing side--his gruff exterior, his legendary impatience, his aversion to wasting time. Weisberg reveals the pressure Frank has felt as the most prominent openly gay politician in the United States, one whose career was nearly derailed by a highly publicized sex scandal involving a male prostitute. Above all, this book shows Frank to be a superb legislator--a pragmatic politician who has dedicated his career to pursuing an unabashedly liberal agenda and whose depth of intellect and keen sense of humor have made him one of the most influential and colorful figures in Washington.

A lot more has gone wrong over the last eight years than meets the eye, and it will take more than a new president to create the kind of change that is necessary. "Daybreak" is a thorough investigation of how Bush/Cheney altered the way American government works and deteriorated the Constitution and Bill of Rights. It includes clear plans for how we may reclaim democracy, declare our rights, and truly set out for a new America. Shocking and inspirational, "Daybreak" provides a clear breakdown of all that we have lost, and all that we have to gain. David Swanson is co-founder of AfterDowningStreet.org, creator of ConvictBushCheney.org, Washington director of Democrats.com, and a board member of Progressive Democrats for America. He served as press secretary for Dennis Kucinich's 2004 presidential campaign and has been a leading voice for the prosecution of Bush and Cheney for war crimes.

Books Inc. in the Castro: Dr. Paul Linde @ Books Inc. Castro (January 14 at 7:30pm)
Dr. Paul Linde reads from Danger to Self: On the Front Line with an ER Psychiatrist.
Author Dr. Paul Linde will be joining us to read from his latest book “Danger to Self: On the Front Line with an ER Psychiatrist.” The psychiatric emergency room, a fast-paced combat zone with pressure to match, thrusts its medical providers into the outland of human experience where they must respond ... (more)rapidly and decisively in spite of uncertainty and, very often, danger. In this lively first-person narrative, Paul R. Linde takes readers behind the scenes at an urban psychiatric emergency room, with all its chaos and pathos, where we witness mental health professionals doing their best to alleviate suffering and repair shattered lives. As he and his colleagues encounter patients who are hallucinating, drunk, catatonic, aggressive, suicidal, high on drugs, paranoid, and physically sick, Linde examines the many ethical, legal, moral, and medical issues that confront today's psychiatric providers. He describes a profession under siege from the outside-health insurance companies, the pharmaceutical industry, government regulators, and even "patients' rights" advocates-and from the inside-biomedical and academic psychiatrists who have forgotten to care for the patient and have instead become checklist-marking pill-peddlers. While lifting the veil on a crucial area of psychiatry that is as real as it gets, "Danger to Self" also injects a healthy dose of compassion into the practice of medicine and psychiatry. About the Author: Paul R. Linde, M.D., a board-certified psychiatrist, currently works in the ER of San Francisco General Hospital. He is an associate clinical professor of psychiatry at the University of California-San Francisco School of Medicine. His work has appeared in "DoubleTake, JAMA, "and the "San Jose Mercury News", as well as numerous other newspapers and academic journals.
