Leigh Jones and Rhiannon Meyers sign Infinite Monster\: Courage\,
Hope\, and Resurrection in the Face of One of America's Largest Hurricanes.
Endorsed
by Douglas Brinkley (author of The Great Deluge)\, and Paul Burka (the
Executive Editor of Texas Monthly)\, Infinite Monster is compiled
from private interviews of Galvestonians who survived Hurricane Ike.
Their stories expose the destitution of loss\, the politics of recovery and the
revelry of rebirth.
Award-winning
Galveston County Daily News (www.galvnews.com) reporters Leigh Jones and
Rhiannon Meyers spent a year writing about the storm's devastating aftermath
and were part of the Galveston County Daily News team that won the 2009 Star
Breaking News award from the Texas Associated Press for their hurricane
coverage. In the book\, Jones &\; Meyers depict survivors returning to
the island through toxic debris and a seemingly endless bureaucracy. They
liken Ike to “a phantom reincarnation of its 1900 ancestor”.
No
event in Galveston’s modern history has forced the city to redefine its
identity and future direction like Ike has. The authors pose some hard
questions\, most of which have yet to be answered\, but one thing is certain —
Hurricane Ike was like the Infinite Monster (www.infinitemonster.com) that
would forever cloud the Gulf Coast's future.

September 25 - October2
Banned
Books Week (BBW) is the only national celebration of the freedom to
read. It was launched in 1982 in response to a sudden surge in the
number of challenges to books in schools\, bookstores and libraries. More
than a thousand books have been challenged since 1982. The challenges
have occurred in every state and in hundreds of communities. During the
last week of September every year\, hundreds of libraries and bookstores
around the country draw attention to the problem of censorship by
mounting displays of challenged books and hosting a variety of events.
Intellectual freedom—the freedom to access information and express
ideas\, even if the information and ideas might be considered unorthodox
or unpopular—provides the foundation for Banned Books Week. BBW
stresses the importance of ensuring the availability of unorthodox or
unpopular viewpoints for all who wish to read and access them.
The top 10 most frequently challenged books of 2009 are\:
