Hell on the Range
In this lively account of Arizona's Rim Country War of the 1880s--what others have called "The Pleasant Valley War"--Historian Daniel Justin Herman explores a web of conflict involving Mormons, Texas cowboys, New Mexican sheepherders, Jewish merchants, and mixed-blood ranchers. At the heart of Arizona's range war, argues Herman, was a conflict between cowboys' code of honor and Mormons' code of conscience.
Freedom Walk
In 1963, the streams of religious revival, racial strife, and cold-war politics were feeding the swelling river of social unrest in America. Marshaling massive forces, civil rights leaders were primed for a widescale attack on injustice in the South. By summer the conflict rose to great intensity as blacks and whites clashed in Birmingham. Outside the massive drive, Bill Moore, a white mail carrier, had made his own assault a few months earlier. Jeered and assailed as he made a solitary civil rights march along the Deep South highways, he was ridiculed by racists as a "crazy man." His well publicized purpose: to walk from Chattanooga to Jackson and hand-deliver a plea for racial tolerance to...
Murder By The Numbers
Set against the backdrop of San Diego, Murder By The Numbers—The Righteous ONE, is a murder mystery that explores the world of the Enneagram, a personality typing system that is now being taught and used around the world by psychologists, therapists, counselors, teachers, religious leaders, writers, business executives, and a growing number of individuals, as a way of understanding human motivation and personality characteristics. When a prominent psychologist and Enneagram author is found dead, the apparent victim of a mercy killing, San Diego’s Portuguese-American chief-of-police, Eddie DeSilva, pairs up with Pauline Graham—a psychologist who uses the Enneagram personality typing system in her practice—to help prove the innocence of the victim’s daughter. Having just lost his wife of thirty years and been forced to retire following an officer-involved shooting, DeSilva quickly locks horns with the new chief-of-police for “meddling in police affairs” as he tries to solve the murder and, with Pauline’s help, comes to understand how the Enneagram can help explain some unhealthy choices—including his own.

The Long Devotion
The Long Devotion is a collection of poems, essays, and writing prompts that celebrates motherhood and creates a space, as poet Molly Spencer has written, to “tell an unlovely truth about family life and not have to take it back.” The poets in this book represent and describe a wide range of experiences. They write about encountering the world anew through their children; intersections of parenting and race; single parenting; adoptive, foster, and step-parenting; life with chronic illness, mental illness, and disability; and the choice to remain childless. The book is divided into four parts. “Difficulty, Ambivalence, and Joy” considers the wonder and challenges of parenting—includ...

Valley of the Guns
In the late 1880s, Pleasant Valley, Arizona, descended into a nightmare of violence, murder, and mayhem. By the time the Pleasant Valley War was over, eighteen men were dead, four were wounded, and one was missing, never to be found. Valley of the Guns explores the reasons for the violence that engulfed the settlement, turning neighbors, families, and friends against one another. While popular historians and novelists have long been captivated by the story, the Pleasant Valley War has more recently attracted the attention of scholars interested in examining the underlying causes of western violence. In this book, author Eduardo Obregón Pagán explores how geography and demographics aligned ...
