  Growing up in Montana, Chris La Tray always identified as Indian. Despite the fact that his father fiercely denied any connection, he found Indigenous people alluring, often recalling his grandmother's consistent mention of their Chippewa heritage. 
   
   
   
  When La Tray attended his grandfather's funeral as a young man, he finally found himself surrounded by relatives who obviously were Indigenous. "Who were they?" he wondered, and "Why was I never allowed to know them?" Combining diligent research and compelling conversations with authors, activists, elders, and historians, La Tray embarks on a journey into his family's past, discovering along the way a larger story of the complicated history of Indigenous communities—as well as the devastating effects of colonialism that continue to ripple through surviving generations. And as he comes to embrace his full identity, he eventually seeks enrollment with the Little Shell Tribe of Chippewa Indians, joining their 158-year-long struggle for federal recognition. 
   
   
   
  Both personal and historical, Becoming Little Shell is a testament to the power of storytelling, to family and legacy, and to finding home. Infused with candor, heart, wisdom, and an abiding love for a place and a people, Chris La Tray's remarkable journey is both revelatory and redemptive.

  The human brain is the command center of the body, responsible for processing information, regulating bodily functions, and enabling cognitive abilities such as thinking, memory, and emotions. As the most complex organ in the human body, the brain contains billions of neurons that communicate through intricate networks, allowing for seamless coordination of voluntary and involuntary actions. Understanding the structure and function of the brain is essential for gaining insights into neurological health, mental well-being, and the mechanisms underlying various cognitive and motor processes. 
  The brain is divided into three primary regions: the cerebrum, cerebellum, and brainstem. The cerebrum, the largest part of the brain, is responsible for higher cognitive functions such as reasoning, problem-solving, language, and sensory perception. It is further divided into four lobes—frontal, parietal, temporal, and occipital—each with distinct roles in processing information. The cerebellum, located at the back of the brain, is crucial for coordinating movement, maintaining balance, and fine motor control. The brainstem, connecting the brain to the spinal cord, regulates vital autonomic functions such as breathing, heart rate, and digestion, ensuring the body’s survival. 
  Neurons, the fundamental units of the brain, communicate through electrical and chemical signals. This intricate communication network enables the processing of sensory inputs, the initiation of motor responses, and the storage of memories. Supporting cells known as glial cells play a crucial role in maintaining brain health by providing nutrients, removing waste, and protecting neurons from damage. Neurotransmitters, chemical messengers in the brain, facilitate signal transmission between neurons and influence mood, behavior, and cognitive functions.

  July 3, 1981, was a pivotal night for the future of America's newest art form: hip hop. In New York's Harlem World Club, the Fantastic Romantic Five and the Cold Crush Brothers competed, with an unprecedented $1,000 on the line in a highly anticipated rap battle. The show drew hundreds of fans to settle a question that still dominates hip hop circles: Who's the best? 
   
   
   
  In Harlem World, journalist Jonathan Mael chronicles this fateful night of hip hop rivalry and shares a new look at how Harlem helped ignite a musical revolution. Since hip hop first emerged in New York in the early 1970s, artists sought to elevate this uniquely American musical genre by pushing the limits of record-playing techniques and lyricism. The two crews they assembled put on the best shows in a world where hip hop was still a strictly live art form. 
   
   
   
  The battle blew the roof off Harlem World that night, and bootlegged cassette tapes of the match-up sent aftershocks around the city as more fans listened to the legendary performances. Set in the New York of the 1970s and '80s, this book shares dozens of new, exclusive interviews and a treasure trove of previously unpublished archival material to tell the story of Cold Crush and Fantastic's rivalry, documenting one of the most important stories in hip hop history.
