George the Painter
In spring of 2006, George Frizzell, aka George the Painter, agreed to write a monthly column for The Horse/Backstreet Choppersmagazine. The column quickly became George's podium, his opportunity to expound on everything from the over-use of cell-phones to his personal demons and health issues. To say that George has a way with words is a huge understatement: "...Little did I realize but every injury that I endured from some bike related mishap that I miraculously walked away from was never really forgotten. All the drunken cartwheels that I experienced when I was launched from my saddle during some drug and alcohol induced stupidity would be held in escrow only to be paid for later down the road..." George the Painter - A Bathroom Reader, is five years worth of George's columns, roughly 75,000 words - and an additional 48 pages of color photos. And whether the topic is motorcycles, the posers who ride them or his recent trip from Arizona to the East Coast, the prose is entertaining and truly unique. George has a huge following, and after reading just a small sample of his writing, it's easy to see why.

George Jones
George Jones's nearly 60-year recording and performing career has had a profound influence on modern country music and influenced a younger generation of singers, including Garth Brooks, Alan Jackson, Randy Travis, Tim McGraw, and Trace Adkins. As Merle Haggard said of Jones in Rolling Stone magazine, “His voice was like a Stradivarius violin: one of the greatest instruments ever made.” Jones's saga is a larger-than-life tale of rags to riches and back to rags again. He was born into near poverty in a backwater patch of East Texas. His formal education ended early; by his early teens, he was singing on the streets of Beaumont, Texas, for tips. After beginning to record in the mid-1950s J...
The Skeena, River of Destiny
A British Columbia classic, this book celebrates the pioneer spirit of the northern BC coast and Skeena River watershed. First published in 1958, the book is a story of magnificent individuals, daring deeds, conquests and failures. The land, the people and their common destiny are captured in the author's personal spirit and words. Dr. Large bequeathed his writings to the Museum of Northern British Columbia, which prepared this edition, incorporating many photographs from the Wrathall Collection that document the Skeena River area from 1908 to 1960.
Childerley
Bell argues they find in class and its conflicts the restraints and workings of social interests and feel that by living "close to nature" they have an alternative: the identity of a "country person", a "villager," that the natural conscience gives.

Black Powder, White Lace
Twenty years ago, Margaret Mulrooney's history of the community of Irish immigrant workers at the du Pont powder yards, Black Powder, White Lace, was published to wide acclaim. Now, as much of the materials Mulrooney used in her research are now electronically available to the public, and as debates about immigration continue to rage, a new edition of the book is being published to remind readers of the rich materials available on the du Pont workers, and of Mulrooney's powerful conclusions about immigrant communities in America. Explosives work was dangerous, but the du Ponts provided a host of benefits to their workers. As a result, the Irish remained loyal to their employers, convinced by their everyday experiences that their interests and the du Ponts' were one and the same. Employing a wide array of sources, Mulrooney turns away from the worksite and toward the domestic sphere, revealing that powder mill families asserted their distinctive ethno-religious heritage at the same time as they embraced what U.S. capitalism had to offer.
