Irrepressible Terrell Calder is a cigarette-smoking, lunch trading, school skipping six-year old boy growing up in a migrant work camp during the last days of the Great Depression under growing rumors of World War II. Son of the camp manager, Terry has no interest in school, and instead is drawn into an unlikely friendship with Mr. McCree, an eccentric old man living in the cracks of civilization. Together they prowl the Everglades in search of rattlesnakes, epiphytes, and adventure, until the law and society change their lives forever. Based on a true story the award-winning Summer Lightning has been reprinted in 15 languages since its first publication in 1978.

Her quiet life there is shattered by a terse wire: AM DYING - COME HOME - MOTHER. Aramenta arrives in Mobile, Alabama just hours prior to her mother's death. She wants nothing more than to quickly settle the estate and escape family ties, but finds herself thwarted by a macabre secret her mother has held for thirty years.

A modern update of the Medieval trade manuals--the 'come-along-with-me' (vade mecum) of Medieval craftsmen--Words of Wisdom: A Curator's Vade Mecum is an invaluable guidebook for anyone interested in contemporary art and the practice of curating. In over fifty short essays, this compendium offers advice to a new generation of curators from veterans of contemporary art exhibitions who, over the past 25 years, have played a crucial role in shaping what we see today, and how we see it. While providing an intimate look at the minds of these master curators, Words of Wisdom also establishes the curator's craft as an important vocation that has changed tremendously over the past quarter-century. In the course of their musings, the curators offer behind-the-scenes insights into influential exhibitions and institutions and the contemporary art world they represent. Among the contributors are Jean-Christophe Amman, director of the Museum of Modern Art, Frankfurt, Germany; Donna de Salvo, curator at the Tate Gallery, London; Richard Flood, chief curator at the Walker Arts Center, Minneapolis; independent curator Hans Ulrich Obrist; and Marcia Tucker, founding director of the New Museum of Contemporary Art, New York.

In drawings both small and monumental, Mark Lombardi creates visual narratives of the way money flows in our postimperial, transnational economy: from corporations to political organizations, from individuals to various ad hoc groups, most of them acting outside of and transcending national boundaries. Using graphite and colored pencil, and information culled from newspaper accounts, TV and other sources in the public domain, Lombardi has developed a new type of history painting that maps the economic underpinnings of our global society.

After The Storm is the eagerly awaited sequel to Judith Richards' Summer Lightning, an international best-seller. Redheaded, freckle-faced Terry Calder has returned to the swamps of the Everglades where he lives in a migratory workers camp with his mother and younger sister. His idealistic father is in the thick of World War II, "investigating atrocities in Poland." Ten year old Terry has become "the man of the family." In an engrossing narrative, Terry also becomes the legs for a wounded veteran named Deke, the conscience for an angry Indian boy named Ossie, and sometimes the mind for a gentle friend who accidentally brings tragedy to them all.

Until recently, the reign of Mary Tudor was generally seen as a ‘sterile interlude in the Tudor century, with Mary herself dismissed asBloody Mary. Extensive research in the past several decades has overturned these assumptions in almost every respect. In this succinct and up-to-date introduction to Mary‘s reign, Tittler and Richards provide new insight into the circumstances of Mary‘s accession and go on to show that her reign was a lot more stable, and her regime much more competent and innovative, than once believed. This fully revised third edition includes a diverse range of primary sources and sheds new light on a variety of topics, such as: The complexities of Mary‘s relations with Philip of Spain The restoration of Catholicism The use of visual as well as literary means to legitimize and support Mary‘s rule The context for the war with France This concise and thought-provoking introduction is ideal for students and interested readers at all levels.
