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:
“Like dreaming, reading performs the prodigious task of carrying us off to other worlds. But reading is not dreaming because books, unlike dreams, are subject to our will: they envelop us in alternative realities only because we give them explicit permission to do so. Books are the dreams we would most like to have, and, like dreams, they have the power to change consciousness, turning sadness to laughter and anxious introspection to the relaxed contemplation of some other time and place.”
—Victor Null, South African educator, psychologist. Lost in a Book: The Psychology of Reading for Pleasure, introduction, Yale University Press (1988)
“They lard their lean books with the fat of others’ works.”
—Robert Burton (1577–1640)
“If only I could manage, without annoyance to my family, to get imprisoned for 10 years, “without hard labour,” and with the use of books and writing materials, it would be simply delightful!”
—Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)
