For fifty years and more than two thousand shows, the Grateful Dead have been earning the "deadication" of more than a million fans. Along the way, Deadheads have built an original and authentic American subculture, with vivid jargon and rich love, and its own legends, myths, and spirituality. Skeleton Key: A Dictionary for Deadheads is the first map of what Jerry Garcia calls "the Grateful Dead outback," as seen through the eyes of the faithful, friends, and family, including Bill Walton, Elvis Costello, Tipper Gore, Al Franken, Bob Bralove, Dick Latvala, Blair Jackson, David Gans, Bruce Hornsby, Rob Wasserman, and Robert Hunter. Skeleton Key puts you on the Merry Pranksters' bus behind the real Cowboy Neal, uncovers the origins of Cherry Garcia, follows the dancing bear on its trip from psychedelic artifact to trademarked icon, and unlocks the Dead's own tape vault. Informative reading for the new fan or the most grizzled "tourhead," Skeleton Key shines throughout with Deadheads' own stories, wit, insiders' knowledge, sincere appreciation of the music of the "band beyond description," and the diverse and soulful culture it inspires.

The unique story of March Wong, Pacific Northwest tree climber, became an acclaimed bestseller in 2016. This special commemorative hardcover edition includes both the author's preferred text of The Eagle Tree as well as the follow-up novella Holy Trinity. 
THE EAGLE TREE The remarkable story of a boy and a tree 
Fourteen-year-old March Wong knows everything there is to know about trees. They are his passion and his obsession, even after his recent fall--and despite social services' threat to take him away from his mother if she doesn't keep him out of their branches. But the young autistic boy just cannot resist the captivating pull of the Pacific Northwest's lush forests just outside his backdoor. Intertwining themes of humanity and ecology, The Eagle Tree eloquently explores what it means to be a part of a family, a society, and the natural world that surrounds and connects us. 
HOLY TRINITY An Eagle Tree Story 
Holy Trinity continues the story of March Wong, the unusual protagonist of The Eagle Tree. In this short novella, March Wong explores the world of Pacific Northwest lichens and finds himself making unique discoveries. This new story takes place a year after the events of The Eagle Tree.

What is autism: a devastating developmental disorder, a lifelong disability, or a naturally occurring form of cognitive difference akin to certain forms of genius? Steve Silberman unearths the secret history of autism, long suppressed by the same clinicians who became famous for discovering it. Going back to the earliest days of autism research, Silberman provides long-sought solutions to the autism puzzle, while mapping out a path for our society toward a more humane world in which people with learning differences and those who love them have access to the resources they need to live happier, healthier, more secure, and more meaningful lives.

Winner of the 2015 Samuel Johnson Prize for Non-Fiction, Steve Silberman's history of autism draws on years of research and conversations with autistic people and their families to explore how clinicians' understanding of cognitive difference has changed since the condition's discovery in 1943. He also finds surprising reasons for the recent increase in diagnoses; tells real-life stories that raise awareness of the challenges faced by autistic people; and emphasizes the importance of developing supportive communities suited to all kinds of minds.
