With the work of reporters under fire worldwide, this year's anthology of National Magazine Award finalists and winners is a timely reminder of the power of journalism. The pieces included here explore the fault lines in American society. Shane Bauer's visceral "My Four Months as a Private Prison Guard" (Mother Jones) and Sarah Stillman's depiction of the havoc wreaked on young people's lives when they are put on sex-offender registries (The New Yorker) examine controversial criminal-justice practices. And responses to the shocks of the recent election include Matt Taibbi's irreverent dispatches from the campaign trail (Rolling Stone), George Saunders's transfixing account of Trump's rallies (The New Yorker), and Andrew Sullivan's fears for the future of democracy (New York).

In other considerations of the political scene, Jeffrey Goldberg talks through Obama's foreign-policy legacy with the former president (The Atlantic), and Gabriel Sherman analyzes how Roger Ailes's fall sheds light on conservative media (New York). Linking personal stories to the course of history, Nikole Hannah-Jones looks for a school for her daughter in a rapidly changing, racially divided Brooklyn (New York Times Magazine), and Pamela Colloff explores how the 1966 University of Texas Tower mass shooting changed the course of one survivor's life (Texas Monthly). A selection of Rebecca Solnit's Harper's commentary ranges from a writer on death row to the isolation at the heart of conservatism. Becca Rothfeld ponders women waiting on love from the Odyssey to Tinder (Hedgehog Review). Siddhartha Mukherjee depicts the art and agony of oncology (New York Times Magazine). David Quammen ventures to Yellowstone to consider the future of wild places (National Geographic), and Mac McClelland follows a deranged expedition to Cuba in search of the ivory-billed woodpecker (Audubon). The collection concludes with Zandria Robinson's eloquent portrait of her father as reflected in the music he loved (Oxford American).

Was NOT Moana themed
Sun protection factor: 50 Sun Protection Factor (SPF), Size: 0.49 Ounce (Pack of 1)
Worked perfectly for our Disney trip. Fit well in our fanny packs. Kind of greasy, but its hard to get away from that with sunscreen. Be advised, though, it was NOT Moana. It was just a regular stick. My kids were a little disappointed.

Perfect little sunscreen
Sun protection factor: 50 Sun Protection Factor (SPF), Size: 0.49 Ounce (Pack of 1)
Easy for my son to apply himself at summer camp. Compact size for his backpack. Only downfall is it goes on white until fully rubbed in, which is normally fine but when my son is trying to get his face himself at camp it is hard for him. Wish it went clear on its own.

Works very well
Sun protection factor: 50 Sun Protection Factor (SPF), Size: 0.49 Ounce (Pack of 1)
Sent this with my daughter to preschool application was very easy for the teachers. Overall the stick was a little bit smaller than expected but it goes a long ways. Was really happy with the overall ingredients in this product versus others. Well worth the money and my daughter was more open to having it because of the application being in a stick.

White cast
Sun protection factor: 50 Sun Protection Factor (SPF), Size: 0.49 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I like having sun screen sticks like this to have the kids carry around in backpacks at summer camps/sports practice so they can re apply - but this one goes on white and is more of a challenge for the kids to get all rubbed in. Wont purchase again
