Walt Disney Treasures – The Chronological Donald, Volume Two (1942 – 1946) $31.92 As the number of cartoons in The Chronological Donald series indicates, Donald Duck was Walt Disney’s biggest star during the ’40s and ’50s.

Sorrel: In the Shadow of the Bear $3.98 The fight against the evil Lord Ursus continues, and the fate of the battle lies in the hands of fifteen-year-old Clovermead Wickward. Chandlefort’s army is in need of reinforcements, and Clovermead is charged by her mother, Lady Cindertallow, to seek allies among the nomadic Hordes of the Tansy Steppes. At the same time, Lord Ursus has dispatched Clovermead’s old enemy Lucifer Snuff to contest her. A battle of diplomacy ensues, and it is only one of many struggles that Clovermead must face. First, Clovermead must choose between her mission to the Hordes and the pleas of her best friend, Sorrel. All the while the survival of Chandlefort is pitted against Clovermead’s promise to free Lord Ursus’s enslaved bears. But the most painful choice of all awaits Clovermead in a face-to-face confrontation with Lucifer Snuff. In the end, Clovermead must decide between the logic of war and her heart’s instinct for mercy, relying on her sacred gifts — the ability to shift into bear-form and to speak the bear-language — to have even the slightest chance at victory. In an epic tale of honor, love, and redemption, David Randall follows "Clovermead" and "Chandlefort" with an adventure determining the fate of nations and human souls. |

Sixteen Tons [Bear Family] $19.66 Tennessee Ernie Ford was one of the biggest singing stars in the ’50s. After an Army stint during World War II, Ford left his Southern roots for the proto-fame of several radio jobs in Los Angeles. He soon met bassist and Capitol A&R man Cliffie Stone and proceeded to cut a slew of hit sides for the label. The country bumpkin character Ford had developed in radio was put in front of the mike and surrounded by some of Capitol’s top country session men. Along with Stone, Ford’s band included the likes of guitarist Jimmy Bryant, pedal-steel wizard Speedy West, drummer Roy Harte, and pianist Billy Liebert. This generous Bear Family disc rounds up 25 of Ford’s prime Capitol sides, including the hit title track and sides bearing both his Ma & Pa Kettle persona and more straightforward honky tonk in the Hank Williams mode. Beyond Ford’s incredibly varied singing, there’s a wealth of stellar contributions from his cohorts — Bryant and Liebman are particularly impressive. As usual, Bear Family provides excellent notes and very thorough discography details. A must for fans of vintage country music. ~ Stephen Cook, Rovi Performers: Tennessee Ernie Ford – Finger Snapping, Finger Snaps, Vocals; Paul Mason Howard – Zither; Billy Liebert – Accordion; Darol Rice – Clarinet (Bass); Harold Hensley – Fiddle; Lee Gillette – Sound Effects; Wade Ray – Fiddle; Billy Strange – Guitar (Acoustic); Bobby Gibbons – Guitar (Acoustic); |

Bear $15.48 The angry grizzly and the cuddly teddy: few animals possess such a range of personas as the bear. Here, Robert Bieder surveys the wealth of imagery, myths, and stories that surrounds the bear. Beginning with the dawn bear, the small dog-sized ancestor of all bears who hails from 25 million years ago, Bieder embarks on a fascinating exploration of the evolutionary history of the bear family, from extinct species such as the cave bear and giant short-faced bear to the mere eight species that survive today. "Bear" draws on cultural material from around the world to examine the various legends and myths surrounding the bear, including ceremonies and taboos that govern the hunting, killing, and eating of bears. The book also looks at the role of bears in modern culture as the subjects of stories, songs, and films; as exhibited objects in circuses and zoos; and, perhaps most famously, as toys. Bieder also considers the precarious future of the bear as it is threatened by loss of habitat, poaching, global warming, and disease and discusses the impact of human behavior on bears and their environments. Accompanied by numerous vibrant photographs and illustrations, and written in an engaging fashion, "Bear" is an appealing and informative volume for anyone who has curled up with Winnie-the-Pooh or marveled at this powerful king of the forest. |

To Keep and Bear Arms: The Origins of an Anglo-American Right $32.48 Joyce Malcolm illuminates the historical facts underlying the current passionate debate about gun-related violence, the Brady Bill, and the NRA, revealing the original meaning and intentions behind the individual right to "bear arms." few on either side of the Atlantic realize that this extraordinary, controversial, and least understood liberty was a direct legacy of English law. This book explains how the Englishmen’s hazardous duty evolved into a right, and how it was transferred to America and transformed into the Second Amendment. Malcolm’s story begins in turbulent seventeenth-century England. She shows why English subjects, led by the governing classes, decided that such a dangerous public freedom as bearing arms was necessary Entangled in the narrative are shifting notions of the connections between individual ownership of weapons and limited government, private weapons and social status, the citizen army and the professional army, and obedience and resistance, as well as ideas about civilian control of the sword and self-defense. The results add to our knowledge of English life, politics, and constitutional development, and present a historical analysis of a controversial Anglo-American legacy, a legacy that resonates loudly in America today. |

Standing Bear Is a Person: The True Story of a Native American’s Quest for Justice $6.48 In a federal courtroom in Omaha, Nebraska, in 1879, Standing Bear, clan chief of the small and peaceful Ponca tribe, was in court demanding the same basic right that white Americans enjoyed-the right to be recognized legally as a human being. The compelling, behind-the-scenes story of that landmark court case, and the subsequent reverberations of the judge’s ruling across nineteenth-century America is told in Stephen Dando-Collin’s "brisk and evocative account" ("Kirkus"). It is a story of memorable Old West characters who joined to fight for Standing Bear and paved his way to the courthouse-the former Indian-fighting Army general who changed sides to stand with Standing Bear, the crusading Midwestern newspaper editor who had once been a gun-toting frontier preacher, and the "most beautiful Indian maiden of her time," Bright Eyes. Full of colorful characters, battles of legal wits, and the twists and turns of a cause in search of an audience, "Standing Bear Is a Person" is a captivating read. |

Chief Joseph $13.99 The Nez Perce people lived in peace with white intruders in their homelands from the time of Lewis & Clark until 1863 when a treaty called for the tribe’s removal to a reservation in Idaho. Chief Joseph (1840-1904), headman of the Nez Perce band in northeastern Oregon’s Wallowa Valley, became the greatest diplomat, philosopher, and–from necessity rather than choice–war leader of his people and among the most respected Indian leaders of American history. In this meticulous and moving new study of Joseph’s life, Candy Moulton–who has traveled over all the trails he and his people blazed–emphasizes the pivotal year of 1877, when the frontier military tried to force Joseph and his people onto the reservation. Instead of meekly following these outrageous orders, he led 750 Nez Perces on a 1,500-mile, four-month flight from western Idaho across Montana and through the Yellowstone country and northwest Wyoming toward safety in Canada. After many battles, the flight ended at the Bear Paws mountains in north-central Montana, just forty miles from the Canadian border and potential refuge. There the U.S. Army surrounded the Nez Perces, captured their horse herd, killed all but two of their primary chiefs, and forced capitulation. When Joseph surrendered to military leaders he told them, From where the sun now stands I will fight no more forever. |

Five for Silver $14.95 The year is 542. While plague stalks Constantinople, an angel sets John the Eunuch on the trail of a human killer. Peter, John’s elderly servant, claims a heavenly visitor revealed a murder to him. It transpires Peter’s old army friend has indeed been stabbed, but then John discovers that Gregory was not what he appeared to be. Is the solution to the mystery to be found in a hidden identity, in the will made by a dying ship owner with a wayward son, or perhaps even amid the oracles in the merchant’s garden? John’s quest leads him to churchmen and whores, lawyers and bear trainers. Suspects include a dealer in dubious antiquities, a resourceful bookseller, a court poet fixated on bereavement, and a holy fool who outrages the city by dancing with the dead and invading the empress’ private bath. Only a man of unbending principle could hope to find justice in a terrified city where the good and the bad are struck down indiscriminately, where disorder rules, and where witnesses may die before they can be questioned. A city, in short, where death is the murderer’s accomplice. |

Lord of the Nutcracker Men $1.01 Ten-year-old Johnny eagerly plays at war with the army of nutcracker soldiers his toymaker father whittles for him. He demolishes imaginary foes. But in 1914 Germany looms as the real enemy of Europe, and all too soon Johnny’s father is swept up in the war to end all wars. He proudly enlists with his British countrymen to fight at the front in France. The war, though, is nothing like what any soldier or person at home expected. The letters that arrive from Johnny’s dad reveal the ugly realities of combat — and the soldiers he carves and encloses begin to bear its scars. Still, Johnny adds these soldiers to his armies of Huns, Tommies, and Frenchmen, engaging them in furious fights. But when these games seem to foretell his dad’s real battles, Johnny thinks he possesses godlike powers over his wooden men. He fears he controls his father’s fate, the lives of all the soldiers in no-man’s land, and the outcome of the war itself. From the Hardcover edition. |

Mountain Storms $69.31 John Parks took his twelve-year-old son Tommy into the mountains seeking the Promised Land. When John dies, young Tommy is left to fend for himself. In a miracle of stamina and ingenuity, Tommy is able to survive. A mother grizzly and her two cubs adopt Tommy and teach him vital woodland skills. When the mother grizzly and one of the cubs is killed, Tommy and the remaining cub form a perpetual hunting party to obtain food. When he prevents the killing of an unbreakable horse, Tommy, the horse, and the bear become a legend, known for stealing supplies from town but always paying for them with precious furs. An expedition is mounted to capture or kill Tommy but no one imagined how puny would be their attempts when confronted by a man so powerful and adept at the skills needed for survival in the wilderness, to say nothing of the horse that runs like the wind and the giant grizzly that is their shadow. Max Brand is the name by which American author Frederick Faust is best known and loved. Born in Seattle in 1892 and orphaned early, he grew up in rural California. He was killed in World War II during a night attack on a hilltop held by the German army. |

Nez Perce 1877 $19.95 With the wars between the US and the Native Americans drawing to a close, one tribe in Eastern Oregon continued to resist. The Nez Perce, led by the Red Napoleon Chief Joseph, refused to surrender and accept resettlement.

Personal Reminiscences of General Robert E. Lee $42.91 Originally published in 1875, J. William Jones’s Personal Reminiscences of General Robert E. Lee is universally regarded as one of the most valuable and interesting works on the South’s great commander. J. William Jones knew Lee well, from the time the general took command of the Army of Northern Virginia to the final years of Lee’s life, when he served as president of Washington College (now Washington and Lee University). When Lee died, Jones was one of that band of loving hearts whose sad privilege it was to bear him to the tomb . Jones’s very personal memoir provides intimate glimpses into Lee’s character, career, and domestic life. The author also provides touching examples of Lee’s religious faith, which he maintains was deeply felt and consistently lived. He writes that unwavering allegiance to duty was the guiding principle of Lee’s life. |

Seeking Pleasure in the Old West $14.95 The men on Lewis and Clark’s 1804 expedition square-danced to fiddle music. Cowboys’ leisure pursuits included singing, storytelling, dominoes, reading, and foot races.

Dary’s irresistible narrative recreates card games on Mississippi steamboats, New Orleans balls, frontier campfires and cafe-theatres, Santa Fe saloons, and Wyoming bicycle clubs and mineral spas, and it charts the emergence of a middle class that came to disapprove of prostitution, gambling, drinking, bear-baiting, and buffalo-hunting. An engaging chronicle . — Publishers Weekly. As David Dary proves in this pleasurable book, the Old West was not all trouble and toil. Much to be learned here — from mountain men and Indians to cowboys and homesteaders — about how to have fun, no matter the circumstances . — Dee Brown, author of Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee. |

It stole everything it hadn’t bothered to buy — land deeds, private homes, and ultimately, the souls of its men and women.Four people tell this powerful, deeply moving tale: Activist Mayor C.J. Marcum. Fierce, loveless union man Rondal Lloyd. Gutsy nurse Carrie Bishop, who loved Rondal. And lonely, Sicilian immigrant Rose Angelelli, who lost four sons to the deadly mines.They all bear witness to nearly forgotten events of history, culminating in the final, tragic Battle of Blair Mountain — when the United States Army greeted 10,000 unemployed pro-union miners with airplanes, bombs, and poison gas. It was the first crucial battle of a war that has yet to be won. Brilliant, diamond-hard fiction, heartwrenching, tough and tender. — Los Angeles Times Book Review |

Trafficking Subjects $65.23 In America, travel has regularly been associated with romantic notions of freedom, exploration, and possibility. Focusing on a broad range of movement in the nineteenth century, this groundbreaking book challenges this conventional view, demonstrating the complexity of the politics of mobility in American culture. The texts that Mark Simpson consults are drawn from a wide range of genres and foreground social and cultural phenomena from slave revolt to fugitive escape, imperial expedition to neocolonial tourism, and market circulation to tramping protest. Utilizing works as diverse as Gray’s The Confessions of Nat Turner and London’s Martin Eden, Poe’s The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym and Edmonds’s Nurse and Spy in the Union Army, Simpson traces the vexed dynamics of movement and its representation in the nineteenth-century United States, developing a theory of mobility as social contest. Questions of national subjectivity and belonging bear centrally on his analysis of how mobility as a social and cultural resource comes to be distributed, invested, directed, and determined. Trafficking Subjects helps us to see what it can mean to become subject to America, in all the conflicted senses of that phrase. |

Walker and the Ghost Dance $88.69 Dazzling dramas on American themes from the Nobel laureate On a cold winter”s day on the Dakota plains, Catherine Weldon receives a caller, Kicking Bear, bringing news of Indian rebellion.

Westerns With a Twist $23.31 Like Spaghetti Westerns, the Red Westerns are classic American Westerns created far, far from the American West – in this case, by Communist East Germany’s legendary DEFA Film Studios.

Gojko Mitic, the famous Serbian actor, stuntman, director and author, stars in all three films. Includes: APACHES, THE SONS OF GREAT BEAR, and CHINGACHGOOK: THE GREAT SNAKE.APACHES: On the eve of the Mexican-American war, a young Apache warrior sets out to avenge the extermination of his tribe.THE SONS OF GREAT BEAR: Gojko Mitic stars as the fearless chief Tokei-ihto, whose Dakota tribe is being driven from the land of their ancestors.CHINGACHGOOK: Based on a novel by James Fenimore Cooper. French colonists are fighting the English; each use Indian tribes as their allies. |

Who Will Fight the Next War?: The Changing Face of the American Military $56.05 The Persian Gulf conflict was the first major combat test for U.S. military forces since the nation ended conscription two decades ago. As hundreds of thousands of American troops were dispatched to the Middle East, the nation realized, seemingly for the first time, that the composition of its armed forces was far removed from any that the nation had previously sent to war. The deployment of unprecedented proportions of minorities and women and the prominent role of reserves and national guard troops aroused considerable interest, widespread debate, and some worry. The prospect that African Americans could bear a disproportionate share of military casualties generated a socially diverse debate that threatened to reopen old racial scars; the reality that American women were exposed to perils from which, by long and deep tradition, they had previously been shielded inspired calls for them to be admitted to combat specialties; and controversy surrounding the readiness of the Army’s combat reserves led to an internecine struggle over the future shape of the U.S. Army. In this book, Martin Binkin addresses each of these issues in order to provide a better understanding of the composition of America’s fighting forces, to prompt an assessment of attitudes toward who should fight in future wars, and to delineate the choices for influencing the social distribution of peril. Binkin argues that the time for public involvement is now, while the memories of the Persian Gulf conflict are still reasonably fresh and while a fundamental rethinking of the post-cold war military is under way. |
