Ben Clark
A mind transfer between two men.
Reasons to Leave the Slaughter
Reasons to Leave the Slaughter speaks of a rural landscape, this “farm life,” will lure you in, draw you down to the pond for afternoons of fishing, picking mulberries, and climbing trees. It is also a place of broken limbs, animals dying every season, storms raging down on the flimsy shell called home. Reasons to Leave the Slaughter speaks of the balance between our desperate human need to “own” land, to have a place, a home, and to control it with fences and property lines. This book also calls upon nature’s constant battling back, crushing plans and hopes with an infestation of one pest or another, a tornado crumpling new buildings into dust, an animal’s death.

The Lonely Man
The action begins with a safe blowing at a large publishing house. Conspiracy and murder scenes are just as compelling, along with intelligence and mastermind criminals. All the characters race against time and are determined not to be murdered, delivering all the storytelling twists that readers will want more of.
If You Turn Around I Will Turn Around
Ben Clark's, if you turn around I will turn around, is a collection of epistolary poems that explore, question, and document the evolving eighteen year relationship with his closest friend. With elegant, lyrical language, and through collaboration with other authors and text, Clark crafts a voice that is both singular, and choral as the lives, and words of others weave their way through his poetry. This is a book of refusal mixed with rugged acceptance, a book of forgetting, remembering, and re-imagining. If you turn around I will turn around, is Ben Clark's offering, an exchange of memory, and story, and love. The poems honor, mourn, retreat into, and mark the space between two lives, and the pull of those lives in opposite directions.
The Deadliest Outlaws
In the late nineteenth century Tom Ketchum and his brother Sam formed the Ketchum Gang with other outlaws and became successful train robbers. In their day, these men were the most daring of their kind, and the most feared. Eventually Tom Ketchum was caught and sentenced to death for attempting to hold up a railway train. He became the first individual--and the last--ever to be executed for a crime of this sort. Jeffrey Burton has been researching the story of the Ketchum Gang for more than forty years. He sorts fact from fiction to provide the definitive truth about Ketchum and numerous other outlaws, including Will Carver and Butch Cassidy. The Deadliest Outlaws initially was published in a limited run of one hundred paperback copies in England. This second edition in hardcover contains additional material and photographs not found in the earlier printing.
Beyond Human
Chronicling sixteenth-century Spain to the present day, Beyond Human aims to decentre the human and acknowledge the material historicity of more-than-human nature. The book explores key questions relating to ecological equity, justice, and responsibility within and beyond Spain in the Anthropocene. Examining relations between Iberian cultural practices, historical developments, and ecological processes, Maryanne L. Leone, Shanna Lino, and the contributors to this volume reveal the structures that uphold and dismantle the non-human–human dichotomy and nature-culture divide. The book critiques works from the Golden Age to the twenty-first century in a wide range of genres, including comedia,...
Washita
An evenhanded account of a tragic clash of cultures On November 27, 1868, the U.S. Seventh Cavalry under Lt. Col. George Armstrong Custer attacked a Southern Cheyenne village along the Washita River in present-day western Oklahoma. The subsequent U.S. victory signaled the end of the Cheyennes’ traditional way of life and resulted in the death of Black Kettle, their most prominent peace chief. In this remarkably balanced history, Jerome A. Greene describes the causes, conduct, and consequences of the event even as he addresses the multiple controversies surrounding the conflict. As Greene explains, the engagement brought both praise and condemnation for Custer and carried long-range implications for his stunning defeat at the Battle of the Little Bighorn eight years later.
