And the next eclipse is just around the corner... Now it’s up to Nestor’s extraordinary ability and his new friends to catch the tule vieja—and save a place he might just call home.

A tiny American town's plans for radical self-government overlooked one hairy detail: no one told the bears. Once upon a time, a group of libertarians got together and hatched the Free Town Project, a plan to take over an American town and completely eliminate its government. In 2004, they set their sights on Grafton, NH, a barely populated settlement with one paved road. When they descended on Grafton, public funding for pretty much everything shrank: the fire department, the library, the schoolhouse. State and federal laws became meek suggestions, scarcely heard in the town's thick wilderness. The anything-goes atmosphere soon caught the attention of Grafton's neighbors: the bears. Freedom-loving citizens ignored hunting laws and regulations on food disposal. They built a tent city in an effort to get off the grid. The bears smelled food and opportunity. A Libertarian Walks Into a Bear is the sometimes funny, sometimes terrifying tale of what happens when a government disappears into the woods. Complete with gunplay, adventure, and backstabbing politicians, this is the ultimate story of a quintessential American experiment -- to live free or die, perhaps from a bear.

Legends of the Northern Paiute shares and preserves twenty-one original and previously unpublished Northern Paiute legends, as told by Wilson Wewa, a spiritual leader and oral historian of the Warm Springs Paiute. These legends were originally told around the fires of Paiute camps and villages during the "story-telling season" of winter in the Great Basin of the American West. They were shared with Paiute communities as a way to pass on tribal visions of the "animal people" and the "human people," their origins and values, their spiritual and natural environment, and their culture and daily lives. The legends in this volume were recorded, transcribed, reviewed, and edited by Wilson Wewa and James Gardner. Each legend was recorded, then read and edited out loud, to respect the creativity, warmth, and flow of Paiute storytelling. The stories selected for inclusion include familiar characters from native legends, such as Coyote, as well as intriguing characters unique to the Northern Paiute, such as the creature embodied in the Smith Rock pinnacle, now known as Monkey Face, but known to the Paiutes in Central Oregon as Nuwuzoho the Cannibal. Wewa's apprenticeship to Northern Paiute culture began when he was about six years old. These legends were passed on to him by his grandmother and other tribal elders. They are now made available to future generations of tribal members, and to students, scholars, and readers interested in Wewa's fresh and authentic voice. These legends are best read and appreciated as they were told--out loud, shared with others, and delivered with all of the verve, cadence, creativity, and humor of original Paiute storytellers on those clear, cold winter nights in the high desert.

The third and last book of the "Piebald Trilogy" finds world travelers, Piebald and Alpha, traveling to beautiful Ireland. There they will join with Joseph and Mary in the founding of an Irish Village where they will live with Irish Mice and teach them about The Great Creator God, maker of heaven and earth. The Irish Small Animal Village is built on a dairy farm owned by George and Lucy Woods. A neighbor of George and Lucy's is an Irish Schoolmaster, Mr. Maclaine, who put on classes for adults at George and Lucy's home. This year Mr. Maclaine's lessons will cover several topics that immediately captured Piebald's imagination, and mine! Piebald and Joseph were asked to come to Scotland and start a Scottish Village like the Irish Village. Red the Troll was actually living in Scotland but frequently visited Lepie at the Irish Village. Red encouraged Piebald to go to Scotland and start a Scottish Animal Village and he did just that. Red the Troll asked Piebald to let him teach history in the new Scottish School. Red would make an excellent Scottish history teacher he had lived hundreds of years in Scotland and he could teach with authority the long exciting history of Scotland without having to read history books. Lepie and Troll and Piebald and Alpha are invisible and waiting for a bus to take them to the International Airport in Belfast, Northern Ireland. This time there was no problem with transportation and in due time they walked into the American Small Animal Village to the cheers of American mice! Let the Celebration Begin! Dr. Gordon J.
