Book Description
Good Friday morning, 1967. A jeweler is murdered, his wife raped. The accused is Thomas James White Hawk, an indigenous person and former athlete at a military academy in Minnesota.White Hawk tells the unforgettable true story of murder in the Midwest and the trial that ignited social, ethical, and political debate across America. Told from the perspective of student-journalist Craig Peters, this new American courtroom drama blends fact with literary fiction about indigenous history to weave a complex tapestry of Tom White Hawk's life, depicting his impoverished upbringing on a South Dakota Indian reservation, his success at college, his romantic relationship, his murder conviction, and his death sentence.Each page of author Greg Redlin's daring book digs deeply into still-relevant sociopolitical issues facing America today, such as the shameful treatment of indigenous people, minority injustice in the court system, and sexual abuse by authorities. And behind it all, Redlin encourages the question: Is the death sentence wrong?

Book Description
The unifying theme in the life of Guru Gobind Singh was confrontation with the Mughals, which culminated in a struggle for political power. This fact is brought into sharp focus when we consider the Guru’s life and legacy simultaneously in the contexts of the Mughal Empire, its feudatory states in the hills, and the Sikh movement. The creation of the Khalsa in 1699 as a political community with the aspiration to rule made conciliation or compromise with the Mughal state almost impossible. Their long struggle ended eventually in the declaration of Khalsa Raj in 1765. Using contemporary and near contemporary sources in Gurmukhi, Persian, and English, J.S. Grewal presents a comprehensive study of this era of Sikh history. The volume elaborates on the life and legacy of Guru Gobind Singh and explores the ideological background of the institution of the Khalsa and its larger political context. Grewal, however, emphasizes that the legacy of the Khalsa was also social and cultural. This authoritative volume on the tenth Guru is a significant addition to the field of Sikh studies.

Book Description
Anyone who's tuned in to a White Sox game during the past four decades has heard his calls and catchphrases: "Mercy " "Rack 'em up " "He gone " Ken Harrelson is a man who knows how to talk and is brimming with stories, but even the most dedicated fans haven't heard them all; many of "Hawk's" most memorable tales are simply not suitable for television broadcasts. Now, in his memoir, Harrelson opens up on a wide variety of topics, from his volatile childhood, to life in the major leagues, to stints as a professional golfer and MLB general manager, and of course his storied years in the broadcast booth. He minces no words when reflecting on brawls, blowups, and encounters with figures ranging from Mickey Mantle and Arnold Palmer to Frank Sinatra and Bobby Kennedy. Packed with the enthusiasm and candor audiences have come to expect, Hawk is a no-holds-barred look at a singular life and career.

Book Description
First published in 1952, this book by acclaimed author Leslie Turner White is set in seventeenth-century Scotland when Cromwell tries to win over the Highlands to the Parliamentary cause. From his first battle, Davy Dugald was a marked man. Masquerading in the royal kilts of his dead master he saved the day for the soldiers of Oliver Cromwell. But Davy knew that the secret of his lowly birth and his assumed title of Ian, Lord of Lochbogie, would someday be discovered. He also dreaded the time when his fierce clansmen learned that Davy himself had killed their lord, his master. That time drew closer when Davy was sent on a secret mission into the wild mountains of Scotland. There he had to face a lifelong and deadly enemy. But there also he found the passionate woman who shared his secret... Here is a story of wenching and fighting, adventures and romance. It tells of a lovable rogue who rose from stable boy to colonel, and how his flashing sword and notorious loves made him the toast of the wild Scotch Highlands!

Book Description
There's a hawk in the city! New York City is known for its sky-scrapers, subways, and hustle and bustle -- not for its wildlife. So everyone is surprised when a red-tailed hawk is spotted flying over Fifth Avenue, and even more surprised when he decides to settle down on the ledge of one of the Big Apple's swankiest apartment buildings. The hawk soon draws many admirers. They name him Pale Male and watch as he builds his nest, finds a mate, and teaches his little hawk babies to fly. Based on the true story of Pale Male, City Hawk brings New York City's favorite hawk to life in a story of family, perseverance, and big-city living.
