Our Nature
Everyone loves a good a story. Just as we need music or dancing, we need stories. It’s universal. After all, humankind has been weaving tales for ages. Stories tell us about our origins, how life works, who we are, and what we share. Who doesn’t love sitting by a fire, listening to a good story? There, as our faces flicker in the firelight and silence quiets our souls, we are carried to that timeless realm of imagination and possibility which is such a fundamental part of our humanity. Storytelling is part of human nature. Author Peter Noel Dunn’s Our Nature: A Book of Unfinished Parables is a collection of stories with intent and hidden meanings. “The wonderful thing about parables is that they want you to participate. They require interpretation. That’s where the magic is. Since the parable involves you- the reader - more often than not, you become the storyteller.” Our Nature: A Book of Unfinished Parables is packed with engaging characters and a variety of stories that are masterfully handled. Dunn brings each scene to life, with your imagination a welcome participant.

The Puzzle of the Silver Persian
Crossing the Atlantic, Miss Withers encounters a murder that only a cat can solve Schoolteacher and occasional sleuth Hildegarde Withers has not had good luck with vacations. On her last trip, she found herself enmeshed in the investigation of a dead man on a small plane. Now, on a three-day steamer voyage to London, she’s about to encounter death again. A gruesome joke leads to a young woman going missing from the ship’s aft rail. Is she somewhere onboard, or has she fallen into the sea? In either case, turning about will do nothing for her, so the ship steams on. Soon the passengers descend into a nightmare, as body after body appears. Putting an end to the chaos falls to Miss Withers, who must depend on the testimony of a particularly mischievous silver Persian cat. The teacher and the feline will make it to London safe and sound—so long as their curiosity doesn’t get the best of them. The Puzzle of the Silver Persian is part of the Hildegarde Withers Mysteries series, which also includes The Penguin Pool Murder and Murder on the Blackboard.
Why Blacks Fear 'America's Mayor'
They call him "America's Mayor." But to blacks that title sugarcoats Rudy Giuliani's real reputation as one of the most racially divisive leaders in the nation. Peter Noel's book puts Giuliani's often-ignored record of oppressing the "other New York" front and center in the 2008 presidential race. Noel was a witness to "Giuliani time" in New York. As the race beat journalist for The Village Voice, he reported exclusively on the police brutality that rained down on blacks, and the denigration of black leadership by Giuliani. In this collection of his exposés, Noel provides stunning insights into the most notorious events of Giuliani's tenure, including the execution-style killing of Amadou D...

Pilgrims on the Ice
Robert Falcon Scott?s 1901?4 expedition to the Antarctic was a landmark event in the history of Antarctic exploration, creating a sensation comparable to the Arctic efforts of the American Robert E. Peary. Scott?s initial expedition was also the first step toward the dramatic race to the South Pole in 1912, which resulted in the tragic deaths of Scott and his companions. Since then Scott?s reputation has vacillated between two extremes: Was he a martyred hero, the beau ideal of a brave and selfless explorer, or a bumbling fool whose mistakes killed him and his entire party?øPilgrims on the Ice goes beyond the personality of Scott to remove the first expedition from the shadow of the second, to study objectively its purpose, its composition, and its real accomplishments. This Bison Books edition includes a new preface by the author.
