Book Description
The Tataviam are a small California tribe from northern Los Angeles County. "Tataviam" means "people facing the sun." It is what our neighbors to the north, the Kitenemuk tribe, called us. We, the Tataviam people, believe we have lived in Tataviam territory since time immemorial. The Santa Clarita Valley is the center of Tataviam territory-it is our heart. In order for tribal cultures to survive, we must sing new songs and tell new stories. This is my original creation story. I tell it in the spirit of my Tataviam ancestors. -Alan Salazar "Puchuk Yaʼiaʼc"

Book Description
A Californian may vacation in Yosemite, Big Sur, or Death Valley, but many of us come home to an oak woodland. Yet, while common, oak woodlands are anything but ordinary. In a book rich in illustration and suffused with wonder, author Kate Marianchild combines extensive research and years of personal experience to explore some of the marvelous plants and animals that the oak woodlands nurture. Acorn woodpeckers unite in marriages of up to ten mates and raise their young cooperatively. Ground squirrels roll in rattlesnake skins to hide their scent from hungry snakes. Manzanita's rust-colored, paper-thin bark peels away in time for the summer solstice, exposing sinuous contours that are cool to the touch even on the hottest day. Conveying up-to-the-minute scientific findings with a storyteller's skill, Marianchild introduces us to a host of remarkable creatures in a world close by, a world that "rustles, hums, and sings with the sounds of wild things."

Click this link to read a review of The Prickly Rose. Dancer, choreographer and renowned teacher, Viola Farber performed with the Merce Cunningham Dance Company for thirteen years. The Viola Farber Dance Company toured the United States and Europe from 1968-1983. Director of the National de Danse Contemporaine in Angers for three years and the recipient of many awards, Farber became the chairperson of the Dance Department at Sarah Lawrence College in 1987, and held that position until her sudden death in 1998. Written for dancers by her ex-husband and dance partner, The Prickly Rose offers excerpts from her letters and journals, reviews, articles regarding her work, interviews with dancers who worked with her, interviews with family members, and more. Viola Farber's legacy still lives on in the muscles of every dancer who was fortunate enough to study with her.
