Fifty years after Where the Wild Things Are was published comes the last book Maurice Sendak completed before his death in May 2012, My Brother's Book.

Book Description
In this powerful new book, long time Yup'ik researcher Ann Fienup-Riordan teams again with Alice Rearden to bring a long-ignored oral history of warfare to light. Time of Warring combines Yup'ik oral accounts and written records to understand the dramatic history of the bow-and-arrow wars fought in southwest Alaska between 1300 and 1800 AD. Yet warfare is not the only story being told. The book also explores the cultural history of violence, retribution, and ultimately peaceful coexistence. These narratives reveal the origins of place names and architectural practices in their cultural and historical context. And great warriors and heroic women of the past are revealed and discussed. The book represents thirty years of research, discussions, and recordings with over one hundred Yup'ik men and omen--elder historians of the highest caliber. After extensive summary and contextualization from Fienup-Riordan, facing-page translations give the Yup'ik elders and culture bearers the space to tell the stories in their own words. Time of Warring is an important chapter that has long been missing in the history of the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta's people.

Book Description
In Myths, Legends, and Heroes, editor Daniel Anzelark has brought together scholars of Old Norse-Icelandic and Old English literature to explore the translation and transmission of Norse myth, the use of literature in society and authorial self-reflection, the place of myth in the expression of family relationships, and recurrent motifs in Northern literature. The essays in Myths, Legends, and Heroes include an examination of the theme of sibling rivalry, an analysis of Christ's unusual ride into hell as found in both Old Norse and Old English, a discussion of Beowulf's swimming prowess and an analysis of the poetry in Snorri Sturluson's Edda. A tribute to Durham University professor John McKinnell's distinguished contributions to the field, this volume offers new insights in light of linguistic and archaeological evidence and a broad range of study with regard to both chronology and methodology.

Book Description
Lou Anders was a young girl who lived a teeming life but was an adolescent who suffered many nights of anguish from her recurring nightmares. At times her dreams would become so terrible and consuming that she would lose touch with reality and her immediate surroundings. Lou grew up to see some of her dreams become startling realities as she would travel to many of the places that she had dreamed about. Many of her mental innovations would startle even her family and friends. Her parents had not a clue that she would grow up to become a very rich and famous personality. Ms. Anders gives many elaborate and celebrated accounts and reports of the distress, the loneliness, and the torment that she had to face on a nightly basis. Even though her dreams were just dreams, they would often leave her dejected, hopeless, and traumatized. After the death of her husband, Butch, who was her number 1 supporter, and after the death of their romantic interlude, her life changed for the worse.
