Juhasz is currently working on a new book. She is the author of three books: Black Tide: the Devastating Impact of the Gulf Oil Spill (Wiley, April 2011), a look at the human impact of BP's disaster in the Gulf. Ms. Magazine calls it "masterfully reported" and Mother Jones says it is "both engaging and informative."
The Tyranny of Oil: the World's Most Powerful Industry and What We Must Do To Stop It (HarperCollins 2008), which received the 2009 San Francisco Library Laureate Award. USA Today writes, Juhasz "reminds us that those who don't learn the lessons of history are fated to repeat its mistakes." Kirkus Reviews finds it a "timely, blistering critique... white-hot... Explosive fuel for the raging debate on oil prices."
The Bush Agenda: Invading the World One Economy at a Time (HarperCollins 2006). "One of the crispest, most insightful books yet to expose the Bush regime," says the The Georgia Straight of Canada. "Spine tingling," writes The Ecologist Magazine'.
Juhasz is the lead author and editor of the 2010 edition of The True Cost of Chevron: An Alternative Annual Report], for which she received a 2010 Project Censored Award. She was also lead author and editor of the 2009 edition and is co-editor of the 2011 edition.

Famous quotes containing the word books:
“It is the interest one takes in books that makes a library. And if a library have interest it is; if not, it isn’t.”
—Carolyn Wells (1862–1942)
“Americans will listen, but they do not care to read. War and Peace must wait for the leisure of retirement, which never really comes: meanwhile it helps to furnish the living room. Blockbusting fiction is bought as furniture. Unread, it maintains its value. Read, it looks like money wasted. Cunningly, Americans know that books contain a person, and they want the person, not the book.”
—Anthony Burgess (b. 1917)
“The more books we read, the clearer it becomes that the true function of a writer is to produce a masterpiece and that no other task is of any consequence.”
—Cyril Connolly (1903–1974)
