t r u t h o u t | All of us here at Truthout hope you've had a wonderful holiday period - whether, whatever and however you're celebrating, and whether you're back at work already or not! Many of you will have exchanged gifts with your loved ones, and hopefully this has been a meaningful and rewarding experience.
But if there's something you're missing - something that reflects your values and could educate and inspire you - then worry not. Truthout is here to help! Our Progressive Picks program offers you the chance to order from a selection of independent books, DVDs and other items individually chosen by our discerning staff.
Our latest selections include Thom Hartmann's new book "The Crash of 2016", which warns of the dangers of another economic collapse and advises how those who believe in progress and democracy can work to prevent this disaster - or, if the worst comes to the worst, rebuild after it.
Why not choose a gift for yourself you'll be sure to love? Your Progressive Pick can be ordered from us directly today with a minimum donation to Truthout!
Wishing you a Happy New Year,
The Truthout Team

The Crash of 2016
https://co.clickandpledge.com/advanced/default.aspx?wid=74234
By Thom Hartmann
In his new book, subtitled "The Plot to Destroy America - and What We Can Do to Stop It," Thom Hartmann lays out a persuasive and sweeping case that Economic Royalists are driving the United States into a cataclysmic financial breakdown. Was the near meltdown of our economy at the end of the Bush Administration just a prelude to a more crushing collapse?
Twelve Years A Slave
https://co.clickandpledge.com/advanced/default.aspx?wid=74192
By Solomon Northup
"It chills the blood," wrote Frederick Douglas of this first-hand narrative of an abducted free man sold into slavery. Originally published in 1853, Northup's memoir provides a vivid, horrifying account of the business and culture of enslavement. A century and a half later, both the acclaimed movie "Twelve Years A Slave" and the original text still have the power to shock and inform.
I Am Malala: The Girl Who Stood Up For Education and Was Shot By The Taliban
https://co.clickandpledge.com/advanced/default.aspx?wid=73985
By Malala Yousafzai and Christina Lamb
The world has been inspired by the courage of Malala Yousafzai, shot and wounded in Pakistan for being an advocate of education for young women when she was 15. But less attention has been paid to her criticism of America's drone war, or her assertion that the Pashtun people "always come together against outsiders who try to conquer our lands." Read Malala's story in her own words here.
2014 Peace Calendar: We Protect What We Love
https://co.clickandpledge.com/advanced/default.aspx?wid=71812
From Syracuse Cultural Workers
Each month of the Peace Calendar from Syracuse Cultural Workers - long beloved by Truthout readers - illustrates a different important issue, from photos of radically sustainable dwellings, to artwork about the prison industrial complex by the incarcerated Kevin Rashid Johnson. Filled with informative annotations and including holidays for many faiths, the 2014 Peace Calendar is an ideal holiday gift.
