Salt in Eastern North America and the Caribbean
Case studies examining the archaeological record of an overlooked mineral Salt, once a highly prized trade commodity essential for human survival, is often overlooked in research because it is invisible in the archaeological record. Salt in Eastern North America and the Caribbean: History and Archaeology brings salt back into archaeology, showing that it was valued as a dietary additive, had curative powers, and was a substance of political power and religious significance for Native Americans.

Learning 2 Walk Again
We all bear scars that serve as memories of wounds we have endured in life. Some are outward markers of traumatic experiences while others are inner evidence of endurance and survival. In Learning 2 Walk Again, Paul Earl Eubanks shares life lessons gained through overcoming trials faced by many. In the brokenness of society (humanity), his story is not uncommon. An only child raised by a single mother. Abuse. Drugs. Sex. Men and women alike can relate to these universal themes of experimentation and struggle. Paul has lived his life as a quest to find meaningful purpose. His narrative may not be uncommon, but his journey of self-discovery is uniquely his. Learning 2 Walk Again is his most personal and transparent work yet (Dr. Layla Z. Scott, PhD, LMFT, CFLE).
Arkansas, Forgotten Land of Plenty
In the first decades of the 1800s, white Americans entered the rugged lands of Arkansas, which they had little explored before. They established new towns and developed commercial enterprises alongside Native Americans indigenous to Arkansas and other tribes and nations that had relocated there from the East. This history is also the story of Arkansas's people, and is told through numerous biographies, highlighting early life in frontier Arkansas over a period of 200 years. The book provides a categorical look at commerce and portrays the social diversity represented by both prominent and common Arkansans--all grappling for success against extraordinary circumstances.
Mad Dogs, Marbles and Rock Fights
Mad Dogs, Marbles, and Rock Fights: A Memoir is not an autobiography. It is a recollection of a time¿the 1950s and early 1960s¿a place¿Marshall, Texas¿and the characters of that time and place from the perspective of a young boy who did his early growing up then, there, and with those characters. It is a non-fiction work, although I am sure those with whom I spent my early years in Marshall will point out my misremembrances. I once read that we are great at revisionist remembering. Well, maybe a little.
