Impeccably researched and rich in detail, Carlos Montezuma, M.D. documents the life of one of the first Native American medical doctors. Taken from his family as a boy by Pima Indian warriors and sold to an itinerant Italian photographer, Montezuma found himself deposited into vastly foreign surroundings at a very young age. In late nineteenth-century Chicago, he was presented with opportunities, both educational and social, that had previously been unavailable to his people. Leon Speroff paints a full and well-rounded picture of the life and times of this remarkable man.

What Would Mickey Say? recognizes the influence of sports and athletic heroes on men. Set in a company cafeteria, the book follows six men, all members of the company softball team, as they discuss such topics as drugs, alcohol, aging, raising kids, sex, and a host of other real life concerns. Observing the men from the sidelines, and invisible to all but the reader, are Mickey Mantle and the virtual professor Edwards from the local university. Mantle, having learned much from his own poor lifestyle choices, provides commentary and advice to the reader on the health issues that the men discuss, while the professor helps to clear up popular misconceptions.

Tears in the Holy Land begins where the nightly news leaves off--putting a human face, one of suffering and determination, on what was once just a headline. In this collection of oral histories based on interviews with Palestinians and Israelis, we hear the voices of those directly affected by the conflict in Israel/Palestine. They speak with a commendable sincerity that reaches out from the pages and demands critical consideration. The question of which side is right and which side is wrong fades into the background as another truth emerges: the cycle of violence must cease for the sake of the personal and economic security of all people in the holy land and the world at large.
