Our Hidden Landscapes
Challenging traditional and long-standing understandings, this volume provides an important new lens for interpreting stone structures that had previously been attributed to settler colonialism. Instead, the contributors to this volume argue that these locations are sacred Indigenous sites. This volume introduces readers to eastern North America’s Indigenous ceremonial stone landscapes (CSLs)—sacred sites whose principal identifying characteristics are built stone structures that cluster within specific physical landscapes. Our Hidden Landscapes presents these often unrecognized sites as significant cultural landscapes in need of protection and preservation. In this book, Native American...

On Beauty and Being Just
Have we become beauty-blind? For two decades or more in the humanities, various political arguments have been put forward against beauty: that it distracts us from more important issues; that it is the handmaiden of privilege; and that it masks political interests. In On Beauty and Being Just Elaine Scarry not only defends beauty from the political arguments against it but also argues that beauty does indeed press us toward a greater concern for justice. Taking inspiration from writers and thinkers as diverse as Homer, Plato, Marcel Proust, Simone Weil, and Iris Murdoch as well as her own experiences, Scarry offers up an elegant, passionate manifesto for the revival of beauty in our intellec...
Straw Men
STRAW MEN is an historical novel thats set in motion when, on July 2, 1881, Charles Julius Guiteau shoots President James Garfield in a Washington, DC train station. It quickly became apparent that Guiteau was a lunatic - he loudly proclaimed that he had acted entirely on his own, having been instructed by God to remove the President in order to save the country. But was Garfields assassination truly the work of a deranged, lone gunman? The Byzantine political alliances that Americas Gilded Age had inherited from the trauma of Civil War, together with the tangled, and very public, personal relationships of the countrys most powerful leaders at the time, pointed toward the clear possibility o...

Wildfire
Two women have a passionate interest in the same piece of land... Elaine Thomas has a sworn duty to protect National Forest Service land, especially from vicious and destructive poachers. About to cite a thoughtless squatter for an illegal campfire, she's flummoxed when she's the one who gets a lecture about tromping on precious seedlings. Botanist Devon McKinney has permission to be camping in the protected area as part of her report on recovery from a toxic spill. Her deadlines are personal and professional and she's not going to let anyone slow her down, even if Ranger Elaine is far from the ham-fisted voice of authority she'd expected. Neither woman has any professional intention of tolerating the least deviation from her assignment. Fortunately, working together gets easier and easier, though both may learn that a fire running wild will burn. Newcomer Lynn James tells a fascinating story of women working to preserve the wilderness wrapped in a sizzling romance that smolders with passion.
