2) History on The Rocks
"The Mendocino Papers," was funny and engaging. As a person who fits almost every category of person in the book, I could relate. I came to California from Missouri, lived in the Haight during the good days, and migrated to Little River Road when the city began being ugly. Anderson has put together a gritty, funny, and genuine history of a beautiful and magical part of Northern California, where I hope I can someday afford to live again.

1) Anecdotal Northcoast History
Bruce Anderson, editor of Mendocino County's well-known weekly newspaper, the Anderson Valley Advertiser, has written a 214 pg narrative chronicling the history of Mendocino County on California's Northcoast. He offers many personal anecdotes from his own life in Mendocino starting around 1970 when he joined many "back to the land" hippies and counterculture types in fleeing the S.F. Bay Area to re-settle on the Northcoast. Anderson also uses narratives from neighbors and acquaintances to paint a picture of life in Mendocino County over the decades.
Anderson starts with describing Native American life on the Northcoast and the subsequent enslavement and tragic and brutal eradication of the Indians by the Spaniards and Anglo Americans.
Anderson ran a juvenile delinquent home in the Anderson Valley for years and bought the Advertiser (I believe in the late 70's or early 80's), which has been publishing for several decades.
Anecdotes are included about certain nefarious characters who have passed through Mendocino County over the decades including Charles Manson, Kenneth Parnell, and the Reverend Jim Jones, who established his People's Temple church in Mendocino County in the 1970's for a time before relocating to the Bay Area and Guyana.
Anderson's narrative is engaging. He clearly feels a kinship with the subjects and people and places he describes in this book. If you live in or near Mendocino County or have spent any time there, you may find this narrative to be enjoyable.

The Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism
In her ground-breaking reporting from Iraq, Naomi Klein exposed how the trauma of invasion was being exploited to remake the country in the interest of foreign corporations. She called it “disaster capitalism.” Covering Sri Lanka in the wake of the tsunami, and New Orleans post-Katrina, she witnessed something remarkably similar. People still reeling from catastrophe were being hit again, this time with economic “shock treatment” losing their...
