Fraud $15 A frequent contributor to the New York Times magazine, Outside , Salon , and GQ , and a regular on Public Radio International’s "This American Life,"David Rakoff’s debut collection of essays is simultaneously laugh-out-loud funny and take-your-breath-away poignant. David Rakoff is a fish out of water. Whether he finds himself on assignment climbing Mount Monadnock in New Hampshire — donning a pair of Timberlands for his trek, only to realize with horror that "the shoes I wouldn’t be caught dead in might actually turn out to be the shoes I am caught dead in." — sitting quietly impersonating Sigmund Freud in a department store window…for a month, or musing on the unique predicament of being undetectably Canadian in New York City ("…what’s more spicy than being Canadian, I ask you?"), Rakoff has a gift for exposing life’s humour and pathos. Fraud takes us places even we didn’t know we wanted to go: expeditions as varied as a search for elves in Iceland, a foray into soap opera acting, or contemplating the gin-soaked olive at the bottom of a martini glass. With the sharpest of eyes, David Rakoff explores the odd and ordinary events of life, spotting what is unique, funny and absurd in the world around him. But for all its razor-sharp wit and snarky humor, Fraud is also, ultimately, an object lesson in not taking life, or oneself, too seriously. From the Hardcover edition. |

Water Fraud: Paradise Water Company $20.98 "A fascinating tale that reveals the danger to our water supply and infrastructure in an era of global terrorism." -"Dr. Michael R. Schmidt, former Manager of Policy Analysis and Research, Illinois Commerce Commission." "Water Fraud" is a startling account of a corrupt small water utility and the financial shenanigans used. In this fast paced novel of greed and self-dealing (spanning from Russia to America), Hayward weaves fact with fiction in what could be the most devastating act of terror in the United States. Water is our most precious resource. 84% of water systems in the US are not protected from terrorism under the Bioterrorism Act of 2001 because they are too small. In 2003 the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) gave the US water and wastewater industry a near failing grade-it continues to deteriorate. At it’s current replacement rate, it would take up to 1,000 years to replace America’s water utility infrastructure, according to the EPA. America pays less than a penny per gallon for tap water. In one study, nearly 70% of small investor-owned water utilities are technically bankrupt or in serious financial condition. |
