Appeal to Reason 25 Years in These Times

On the 25th anniversary of the muckraking newsmagazine In These Times, more than 20 leading progressive writers take a fresh look at where we as a nation have been and where we may be going.
The political lessons of the past suggest new directions for the future in new essays specially commissioned for this volume—on issues ranging from globalization and criminal justice to feminism and the environment. Richly illustrated with news and opinion clippings and photos from the magazine's first 25 years.
