The Whiskey Lee
Prepare to plunge into dangerous waters. A fifty-foot fishing trawler and its captain, James Karl Moreland, vanish from the waters off Barney's Cove, Maine in 1989.

Nancy Parker's Diary of Detection
On this day 24th June 1920 I turned fourteen. I plan to have a very exciting future now that I have thrown off the SHACKLES of SCHOOL! A detective is what I would most like to be. I cannot think of any reason why I could not be one. Except perhaps I am too young. And I don't like blood. Nancy Parker has recently been engaged in her first position - as a housemaid for the very modern Mrs Bryce. It's not Nancy's dream job (she'd rather be investigating crimes like they do in her beloved six-penny thrillers) but as Mrs Bryce starts to entertain her new neighbours with lavish parties, it becomes clear that something strange and interesting might be afoot. Local burglaries, a cook with a deep, dark secret - and Mrs Bryce's own glamorous but murky past. Will Nancy solve the mysteries while still keeping on top of her chores? A hilarious and energetic middle-grade mystery, narrated part in the third person and part through Nancy's journal.

The Sad Storytellers Club
Parker's problems with alcohol have led to yet another unfortunate incident and it seems there is no escaping this one. He finds solace in a green door and tripping through, Parker finds himself in the world of the Sad Storytellers Club. Once a month the group meets to share short stories they have written about the hardships in each of their lives. Young and old, they all carry with them the burdens life too often bestows. Parker finds comfort within the group, but feels that his life is not sad enough to maintain a spot in the Sad Storytellers Club. He spins his own story, deceiving the group. When disaster strikes the green-doored building, Parker is entrusted with the confusing Natasha, a strange cat, and a notebook full of others' secrets. Parker is then met with a decision; does he risk his new friends, a girl he is falling for, and the healing that came with the Storytellers, or does he make a name for himself and finally become someone his parents will be proud of?

The Footprints of a Wisconsin Lumber Executive
When one studies the history of Wisconsin, it is impossible to ignore the significant role played by the lumber industry during the Nineteenth Century. Down through the years, many authors have discussed the history of the lumber industry in Wisconsin during this era. No discussion of this subject is complete without reference to the dynamic impact of The Knapp, Stout & Co. Company and its founder, William Wilson...due to its dominating role in the industry. Consequently, many authors have referenced this company and its founder. However, up to this point, no book has been exclusively devoted to this famed company, and its founder. This volume tells the compelling story of William Wilson, who built a world class lumber empire in the woods of Wisconsin. It collects this secondary information, that is, the relevant published accounts of this company and its founder, weaving it together with primary sources. In the end, we have a volume which brings into shaper focus, the history of Northwestern Wisconsin's Red Cedar Valley, and the forces which forever modified the geographical character of the region.

The Rise of Multicultural America
Between the Civil War and World War I the United States underwent the most rapid economic expansion in history. At the same time, the country experienced unparalleled rates of immigration. In The Rise of Multicultural America, Susan Mizruchi examines the convergence of these two extraordinary developments. No issue was more salient in postbellum American capitalist society, she argues, than the country's bewilderingly diverse population. This era marked the emergence of Americans' self-consciousness about what we today call multiculturalism. Mizruchi approaches this complex development from the perspective of print culture, demonstrating how both popular and elite writers played pivotal role...
