Book Description
Can William and Rebecca distinguish friend from foe on their epic cross-colony journey to help America win the Revolutionary War? William Tuck is set on justice. For his brother killed by British soldiers, for his friend Rebecca's father held prisoner by the redcoats, and for the countless other rebel Americans struggling beneath the crushing weight of British rule. The whispered words of a dying soldier, and a mysterious watch, give William all the ammunition he needs; a secret message for the leader of the rebel army. Rebecca disguises herself as a boy, and she and William join the American troops. They embark on an epic journey that pulls them into a secret network of spies, pits them against dangerous gunmen, and leads them on a quest to find General George Washington himself. Can William and Rebecca determine friend from foe long enough to deliver a message that might just change the tide of the American Revolution? Praise for The Last Ride of Caleb O'Toole, winner of the MPIBA Reading the West Award "In this action-packed debut novel...Pierpont has created a suspenseful, enlightening read featuring worthy allies and wicked enemies."—Booklist "The fast-paced adventure serves up a hearty history lesson with side dishes of political, social and environmental commentary. Realistic and complicated characters give the familiar story of the pioneer's journey fresh life...a suspenseful adventure with heart."—Kirkus Reviews "The pace doesn't let up TV and film actor Pierpoint offers a rowdy Wild West adventure in his first book for children... Readers seeking action, history, and adventure aren't likely to mind."—Publishers Weekly

Book Description
This book examines Britain's recognition of the newly established Peoples' Republic of China in 1950 and the developments leading to the establishment of formal Anglo-Chinese diplomatic relations in 1954. The importance of the USA in Anglo-Chinese relations is also highlighted by this study. Based on archival materials and interviews, this is an attempt to apply a decision-making framework to study the formulation and implementation of Britain's China policy and to explore revolutionary China's conduct in international relations.

Book Description
The Manhattan Project transformed the entire country in myriad ways, but it did not affect each region in the same way. "Atomic West" tells the story of how the U.S. government, acting on an enduring perception of the American West as an "empty" place, located a disproportionate number of nuclear facilities in the western states--especially the ones most likely to spread pollution.
