The Body Fantastic
The body in dreams, myths, legends, and anecdotes of the fantastic as expressions of human corporeality. In The Body Fantastic, Frank Gonzalez-Crussi looks at the human body through the lens of dreams, myths, legends, and anecdotes of the bizarre, exploring the close connection of the fictitious and the fabulous to our conception of the body. He chronicles, among other curious cases, the man who ate everything (including boiled hedgehogs and mice on toast), the therapeutic powers of saliva, hair that burst into flames, and an "amphibian man" who lived under water.

Leaving Cuba by Stark Raving Married
Have you ever wondered about how life would have been "if"? Have you ever wondered about what would have happened "if" you had done something different? Did you think that what was in your imagination never matched your reality? Have you known children that seemed to have been in tune with you before you could speak? Is there anyway for you to understand the far-reaching consequences of one small choice? This book provides a way to see how choices from centuries ago affect family dynamics in the present, and how they influence children for their futures. Leaving Cuba by Stark Raving Married is a story that unfolds one spring day and illustrates how the past, relationships with lands, and political movements act together like a vortex devouring hopes and dreams.
Small-Town Heroes
In 1993 successful psychologist and journalist Hank Davis undertook an epic journey exploring the atmosphere and culture of both minor league baseball and the small towns that embrace it. Davis shows us the warmth, quirkiness, and desperate energy of minor league ball, from encounters with future stars to those who would never make it to the ?show?; from the kids selling Cracker Jacks outside the park to the aging coaches who persevere out of sheer love for the game. As Davis says, ?the minor leagues are full of stories,? and he tells some of the best of them here. A new afterword by the author dis-cusses where the minor league players are now.

Los Lobos
Los Lobos leaped into the national spotlight in 1987, when their cover of “La Bamba” became a No. 1 hit. But what looked like an overnight achievement to the band’s new fans was actually a way station in a long musical journey that began in East Los Angeles in 1973 and is still going strong. Across four decades, Los Lobos (Cesar Rosas, Conrad Lozano, David Hidalgo, Louie Pérez, and Steve Berlin) have ranged through virtually the entire breadth of American vernacular music, from rockabilly to primal punk rock, R&B to country and folk, Mexican son jarocho to Tex-Mex conjunto and Latin American cumbia. Their sui generis sound has sold millions of albums and won acclaim from fans and crit...
