The Insurgent Barricade
"To the barricades!" The cry conjures images of angry citizens, turmoil in the streets, and skirmishes fought behind hastily improvised cover. This definitive history of the barricade charts the origins, development, and diffusion of a uniquely European revolutionary tradition. Mark Traugott traces the barricade from its beginnings in the sixteenth century, to its refinement in the insurrectionary struggles of the long nineteenth century, on through its emergence as an icon of an international culture of revolution. Exploring the most compelling moments of its history, Traugott finds that the barricade is more than a physical structure; it is part of a continuous insurrectionary lineage that features spontaneous collaboration even as it relies on recurrent patterns of self-conscious collective action. A case study in how techniques of protest originate and evolve, The Insurgent Barricade tells how the French perfected a repertoire of revolution over three centuries, and how students, exiles, and itinerant workers helped it spread across Europe.

Legend's End
In a world ravaged by nuclear waste, the wolves are rising. Nearly a thousand years ago, wolf culture began to evolve from the ashes of human society. The canines advanced rapidly over the centuries as they mastered the uses of language, writing, fire, craftsmanship, and metals. They began to branch out, make new discoveries and recording their history. Now in a medieval age of development, wolf-kind is being threatened by a vicious she-wolf and her acquiescent mate, who will stop at nothing to achieve their goals. Only a conflicted young wolf named Rakuro, who holds the power to make or break the future of all wolf-kind, can stop them. As the struggle for the ultimate goal--a secret from the beginning of wolf history--escalates, Rakuro is faced with a choice that will not only define who he is, but will change the future of his species. If infinite knowledge lay within your grasp... What would you do?
