No Other Tale to Tell
"For twenty-five years the vibrant black community in Kingston, New York, has ceased to tell its stories. Its rich oral history has been mysteriously silenced. No one talks about the events that caused this silence, but Carla March, the beautiful black woman who lives alone with her golden-skinned idiot son, remembers them with an immediacy that drives her to hammer the cellar floor late at night in anger and grief. She is haunted by the memory of the inferno that consumed her two brothers a quarter of a century earlier, and by the memory of her father, who willed himself to die, and her mother, who followed him to the grave. And she can't forget Max, the preaching white child who arrived in...

In Cold Blood
NATIONAL BESTSELLER • The most famous true crime novel of all time "chills the blood and exercises the intelligence" (The New York Review of Books)—and haunted its author long after he finished writing it. On November 15, 1959, in the small town of Holcomb, Kansas, four members of the Clutter family were savagely murdered by blasts from a shotgun held a few inches from their faces. There was no apparent motive for the crime, and there were almost no clues. In one of the first non-fiction novels ever written, Truman Capote reconstructs the murder and the investigation that led to the capture, trial, and execution of the killers, generating both mesmerizing suspense and astonishing empathy. In Cold Blood is a work that transcends its moment, yielding poignant insights into the nature of American violence.
Western Apache Heritage
A reconstruction of Apachean history and culture that sheds much light on the origins, dispersions, and relationships of Apache groups. Mention “Apaches,” and many Anglo-Americans picture the “marauding savages” of western movies or impoverished reservations beset by a host of social problems. But, like most stereotypes, these images distort the complex history and rich cultural heritage of the Apachean peoples, who include the Navajo, as well as the Western, Chiricahua, Mescalero, Jicarilla, Lipan, and Kiowa Apaches. In this pioneering study, Richard Perry synthesizes the findings of anthropology, ethnology, linguistics, archaeology, and ethnohistory to reconstruct the Apachean past...
The Complete Idiot's Guide to the Last Days
For centuries, humans have dreaded (and anticipated) the end of the world. These fears, fuelled by natural disasters, famines, world wars, and the writings of people like Nostradamus and Jeane Dixon have left us with more questions than answers. In The Complete Idiot's Guide to the Last Days, Richard H. Perry goes to the definitive source on the subject: the Bible itself. While the book is as exciting as an action/adventure novel, the author's primary source is the Bible, and he guides his readers to an understanding of the Last Day by using related Scripture. For fans of the Left Behind series. Written for a general audience in addition to a Christian one. Includes timelines of every stage leading up to the last days and after.
