Abe's Youth
“A fascinating, in-depth examination” of Abraham Lincoln’s life between the ages of seven and twenty-one (Johnson County Historical Society). Although Lincoln’s adult life as president, statesman, and savior of the Union has been well documented and analyzed, most biographers have regarded his early years as inconsequential to his career and accomplishments. But in 1920, a group of historians known as the Lincoln Inquiry were determined to give Lincoln’s formative years their due. Abe’s Youth takes a look into their writings, which focus on Lincoln’s life between seven and twenty-one years of age. By filling in the gaps on Lincoln’s childhood, these authors shed light on how his experiences growing up influenced the man he became. As the first fully annotated edition of the Lincoln Inquiry papers, Abe’s Youth offers indispensable reading for anyone hoping to learn about Lincoln’s early life.
Been Blued
These aliens have been away from Earth so long they no longer consider themselves human. They lost their women to a virus in space and returned with high hopes. In the few hundred years they've been back, they've run into problems. Incapable of mating until they've 'Been Blued', they search for women who will show them the affection and commitment their symbionts require for the process to begin. Resorting to a reconfiguration cloning technique has given them a reprieve from pending extinction, but their time is still running out. The struggle to respect human free will seems to limit their possibilities; a few of them find the concept open to interpretation while others just want to return to space. One day a human accidentally Blues an alien. She has plans of her own, and they don't include being matriarch to a new species. If her prospective husband and his friends can't change her mind, they may not have a future. To complicate matters, the symbiont has started to spread to mankind. Its slightly telepathic nature will make avoiding detection by the humans that much harder. What's a fun loving alien to do?

Affrilachia
"Affrilachia," a term first coined in 1991 by Kentucky poet Frank X Walker, refers to the cultural contributions of African Americans who live in Appalachia, a largely mountainous region stretching over thirteen states from Mississippi to New York. Although Black Americans have greatly influenced the popular culture landscape in this region, their stories, trials, and triumphs are often undocumented because Appalachia is perceived as wholly white. In this stunning visual history, photographer and curator Chris Aluka Berry gives voice to the broad spectrum of African Americans who have lived in the Appalachian region over the centuries. Berry, who spent six years in western North Carolina, no...
