Book Description
"There are so few genuinely entertaining novels around that we ought to cheer whenever one turns up. Continuous, fizzing energy…Honey for the Bears is a triumph." —Kingsley Amis, New York Times A sharply written satire, Honey for the Bears sends an unassuming antiques dealer, Paul Hussey, to Russia to do one final deal on the black market as a favor for a dead friend's wife. Even on the ship's voyage across, the Russian sensibility begins to pervade: lots of secrets and lots of vodka. When his American wife is stricken by a painful rash and he is interrogated at his hotel by Soviet agents who know that he is trying to sell stylish synthetic dresses to the masses starved for fashion, his precarious inner balance is thrown off for good. More drink follows, discoveries of his wife's illicit affair with another woman, and his own submerged sexual feelings come breaking through the surface, bubbling up in Russian champagne and caviar.

Book Description
This award-winning “gem” of a conservation classic tells the story of the land, wildlife, and ecology of East Texas (Quarterly Review of Biology). Winner of the Ottis Lock Endowment Award from the East Texas Historical Association; the Texas Literary Festival Award for Nonfiction from the Southwestern Booksellers Association & Dallas Times Herald; and the Annual Publication Award, Texas Chapter of the Wildlife Society As hickory groves and fox squirrels began to vanish from the East Texas landscape in the second half of the twentieth century, two biologists who specialized in wildlife and endangered species began work on Land of Bears and Honey. Their purpose was not only to eulogize what was lost, but to encourage us to save what we still can. The result is an “elegant chronicle of the natural history of a once-rich area [that] will appeal strongly to birders, ecologists, to anyone who enjoys the outdoors” (Publishers Weekly). “This deceptively slender volume is three things: a how-to-book, an aesthetic feast and a moral tale.” —Dallas Morning News “To compare the style and content of this little book to that of the late Aldo Leopold is indeed high praise, yet the reviewer finds this comparison valid.” —Quarterly Review of Biology “In Land of Bears and Honey, East Texans have their own regional Walden, written with keen historical perspectives, literary style, and deep respect for the land.” —East Texas Historical Journal “This graceful blend of history, narrative and dialogue paints a noble portrait of one more disappearing chunk of Americana.” —Los Angeles Times Book Review

Book Description
The Chicago Honey Bear cheerleaders, in their iconic white boots, cheered and danced their way across Soldier Field right into the hearts of Chicagoans and Bears fans throughout the world for nine NFL seasons. Fans watched these talented, vivacious, young women help support the team through one of the best decades of Bears football, leading up to the 1986 Super Bowl XX championship.But while celebrating the Super Bowl XX victory, the Honey Bears found out they would never take the field again. The abrupt decision by Bears management sent shock waves throughout the Bears nation and the entire National Football League.Legendary NFL co-founder and owner of the Chicago Bears, George "Papa Bear" Halas, wanted nothing more than to have cheerleaders on the sidelines at Soldier Field in Chicago; and an amazing staff was quickly put together to make his dream a reality. So why were the Honey Bears sent packing after one of the most successful seasons in the Chicago Bear's history?"Missing from the Sidelines" poses that question, along with many more:* Why were the Honey Bears disbanded? Was it the Playboy scandal? Was it fraternization between players and cheerleaders?* Were the Honey Bears a distraction to the players on the field?* Was the disbandment of the Honey Bears really just a "business decision?"* Is there a Honey Bear curse and will it ever be lifted?Written and compiled by two former Honey Bears, "Missing from the Sidelines" opens the door to the behind-the-scenes world of the Honey Bears through their own personal stories. Including an exclusive new interview with Coach Mike Ditka, stories from the Bear's notorious super fans, and over 400 Honey Bear photos, "Missing from the Sidelines" is a must-read for any Chicago Bear's fan!
