He was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry in 2016. The Burning Tigris: The Armenian Genocide and America’s Response received the 2005 Raphael Lemkin Prize and was a New York Times Notable Book and national best seller. The author offers a landmark history of the Armenian massacres of the 1890's and the genocide of 1915 at the hands of the Ottoman Turks, and America's extraordinary response. The Turkish government implemented the first modern genocide behind the cover of World War I. In the United States, many people came together to try to save the Armenians. Courageous missionaries, diplomats, and relief workers recorded their eyewitness accounts and often risked their lives in the killing fields of Armenia. More

New York: The New Press, 2002. First Edition. First Printing. 278, notes, index, some ink underlining and marginal marks to text, one page corner creased This white paper on the world's water resources asks whether there is enough water, whether there is enough access to water, and whether there is a possibility that, in the near future, wars may be fought over water. The authors examine how water is becoming politicized, and they consider the role of transnational corporations in the unequal distribution of this wealth. The major bottled-water producers--Perrier, Evian, Naya, and now Coca-Cola and Pepsi-Co--are part of one of the fastest growing and least regulated industries, buying up freshwater rights and drying up crucial supplies. The consumption of water doubles every twenty years, more than twice the rate of increase of human population. Blue Gold captures in striking detail the forces behind the increasing depletion of the world's freshwater and the human and ecological impacts. More
