Book Description
Other books have been written about battles between humans and creatures from outer space. So, what's different about this one? Well, the aliens in this case know a great deal about planet Earth and its human population, but their info is disastrously out of date. It's a war in which tactics make all the difference and the aliens would have found peaceful cooperation a far more useful thing than the battle. As a side issue, these highly intelligent aliens have evolved on a planet where oxygen and water are rare. Impossible? Not at all. The author's thesis on this point is that life can evolve anywhere there is an energy source the life form can use. In each case, the life form evolves so as to use the available energy source and, therefore, is very dependant on it, just as we depend on oxygen and water.

Book Description
Chu Chi is a handsome, powerful, and brave Siberian Husky. But, he didn’t start out that way. The Chu Chi Chronicles is a collection of stories about Chu Chi and his pals who live in the Canadian village of Reindeer Lake. In the first three stories, we join Chu Chi and his friends as they engage in a series of adventures, as they explore their world. Encounters with polar bears, jewel thieves, and a beautiful show dog who steals Chu Chi’s heart, are a few of the many special moments to be found in these stories. From the beginning of the Great Race, the reader is rooting for Chu Chi’s team to win the prize. It’s a spot on the Royal Mounties, Olympic Sled team. When our hapless group attends their first dog show, chaos erupts when they discover a jewel robbery and eventually solve the crime. And, as the intrepid team of dogs, attempt a dangerous rescue on Christmas Eve, in the midst of a blinding blizzard, “supernatural” events guide the outcome and give us all a gentle reminder of what is truly important. The Chu Chi Chronicles blend tales of adventure with messages of wisdom and hope. They are the kinds of stories many of us read as children, but The Chu Chi Chronicles include a decidedly modern touch. These adventures can be read again and again and then passed on to the next generation. They are ideal for younger readers, but have a message for everyone. W.O. 2001

Book Description
The contributors to Playing for Keeps examine the ways in which musical improvisation can serve as a method for negotiating violence, trauma, systemic inequality, and the aftermaths of war and colonialism. Outlining the relation of improvisatory practices to local and global power structures, they show how in sites as varied as South Africa, Canada, Egypt, the United States, and the Canary Islands, improvisation provides the means for its participants to address the past and imagine the future. In addition to essays, the volume features a poem by saxophonist Matana Roberts, an interview with pianist Vijay Iyer about his work with U.S. veterans of color, and drawings by artist Randy DuBurke that chart Nina Simone's politicization. Throughout, the contributors illustrate how improvisation functions as a model for political, cultural, and ethical dialogue and action that can foster the creation of alternate modes of being and knowing in the world. Contributors. Randy DuBurke, Rana El Kadi, Kevin Fellezs, Daniel Fischlin, Kate Galloway, Reem Abdul Hadi, Vijay Iyer, Mark Lomanno, Moshe Morad, Eric Porter, Sara Ramshaw, Matana Roberts, Darci Sprengel, Paul Stapleton, Odeh Turjman, Stephanie Vos

Book Description
Black & White Edition. This is the first English translation of Marie Wilson & Nanos Valaoritis' "Terre de diamant," which first appeared in French in 1958. Marie Wilson, an American surrealist, was an active participant in the Paris surrealist group in the 1950's. This book, the only book Marie herself has published, is a supreme document of poetic evidence, infused by her collaboration with the Greek poet Nanos Valaoritis. Marie was inspired to create a series of sixteen lithographs, and Nanos prepared the sixteen parallel texts that accompany them. Marie and Nanos subsequently married in 1960. They live today in Athens, Greece.
