Photographs from Eaden
Marcus Andrews seeks glory in his small hometown of Eaden, Montana. He is entering his senior year of high school and has yet to attain the athletic fame that he has dreamed of his entire life. He is further burdened by his father's mental illness and confusing preoccupations. When Eaden loses its final football playoff game to a rival school, Marcus sees the upcoming basketball season as his last chance to claim immortality within his community. When his history teacher assigns a history writing project, Marcus reaches out to George O'Sullivan, an old man known for his knowledge of local Native American history as well as for rumors about his sexuality. As Marcus's friendship with George grows throughout Marcus's final year of high school, secrets are revealed that will change his life and impact his entire family. Photographs from Eaden follows Marcus's twelve-year journey from central Montana to San Francisco. The story is one of seeking adventure, understanding what it means to be a part of a closely knit community, and finding the value and strength of family.

There she met a group of strong, smart, sassy black women who taught her the meaning of true friendship. Jennifer had become comfortable with her life and girls' night out, the time when they got to be carefree. No talk of husbands, significant others, kids, or problems. Their secrets were safe and always just between friends.

Rubbish!
It is from the discards of former civilizations that archaeologists have reconstructed most of what we know about the past, and it is through their examination of today's garbage that William Rathje and Cullen Murphy inform us of our present. Rubbish! is their witty and erudite investigation into all aspects of the phenomenon of garbage. Rathje and Murphy show what the study of garbage tells us about a population's demographics and buying habits. Along the way, they dispel the common myths about our "garbage crisis"—about fast-food packaging and disposable diapers, about biodegradable garbage and the acceleration of the average family's garbage output. They also suggest methods for dealing with the garbage we do have.
