 Bookselling This Week: Venerable Beacon Press Shines on Social Issues
Boston-based Beacon Press, a nonprofit independent book publisher founded in 1854 as the Press of the American Unitarian Association, has long been known as a house devoted to providing the public with thought-provoking, sometimes controversial, works focusing on social issues.
Renamed Beacon Press in 1902, it remains a branch of the Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA), often referred to as the Unitarian Church, although its titles are nondenominational.
The press was founded with the mission of publishing works that promulgate "the right of conscience and the use of the democratic process in society." That mandate has inspired Beacon to publish the work of dozens of prominent, notorious writers -- including historians and philosophers.

 Bookselling This Week: A Really Special Senior Moment -- Beacon Press Turns 150
Beacon Press, which began as the Press of the American Unitarian Association (its name was officially changed to Beacon Press in 1902) was launched in 1854 when the American Unitarian Association (AUA) established a nonprofit publishing branch supported by the fundraising efforts of educator George Emerson, cousin of Unitarian minister Ralph Waldo Emerson.
In the mid-20th century Beacon Press signed philosophers Alfred North Whitehead and John Dewey, and the press was known for printing criticism of Joseph McCarthy and Joseph Stalin.
As Tom Hallock, associate publisher and director of marketing and sales, told BTW, "Beacon wouldn't have 150 years to celebrate if not for the support of independent booksellers." Hallock explained that the "promotion is meant to be flexible, enabling each store to promote the Beacon titles that are most likely to appeal to their customers.

Jennifer Harbury's investigation into torture began when her husband disappeared in Guatemala in 1992; she told the story of his torture and murder in Searching for Everardo.
For over a decade since, Harbury has used her formidable legal, research, and organizing skills to press for the U.S. government's disclosure of America's involvement in harrowing abuses in Latin America, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East.
A draft of this book had just been completed when the first photos from Abu Ghraib were published; tragically, many of Harbury's deepest fears about America's own abuses were graphically confirmed by those horrific images.

 The Place of Tolerance in Islam by Beacon Press
It's definitely not a book for lay-readers, but if you're really interested in Islam and reframing your misconceptions about it, it might be a starting place that will help you on the way to finding good resources.
More popular books on Islam like to prattle on and copy each other about the _lack_ of tolerance in Islam, but that's like focusing on the most intolerant Christian sect and using incidents of their intolerance as proof that Christianity is uniformly intolerant.
The sad fact about this book is that the people who need to read it the most never will -- at least not with an open mind.

The Beacon Press, a department of the Unitarian Universalist Association, traces its beginnings to 1854 when the American Unitarian Association raised $50,000 for a Book Fund Project.
The AUA "issued an urgent call for liberal works that would meet the spiritual needs of the age." Until 1950, the strength of the Press was in history, biography, and a locus in religious thought and religious freedom.
Since the late 1980s, the Beacon Press has taken on an increasingly independent institutional role as a publisher of works of fiction and non-fiction with contemporary or historical religious, social, and philosophical perspectives.
