The Other Side of Silence, Andre Brink **
Prize-winning South African novelist Andre Brink weaves an eloquent allegorical adventure story from the point of view of the silenced -- indigenuous Africans, the women transported as "brides" for settlers from Europe, and anyone else who tried to resist colonialism's advance in his country's brutal history. This is brutal, magical, compassionate writing.

Mind Wide Open: Your Brain and the Neuroscience of everyday life, Stephen Johnson *
Takes "having your head examined" to whole new levels in this autobiographical trek through the newest techniques for understanding our brains and how they function in everyday life. The author’s brain is scanned, imaged, measured, tracked, monitored, poked and prodded. Engaging writing that doesn't talk down or puff up this fascinating subject.
