Sinossi

In "Blackfeet Indian Stories," George Bird Grinnell offers a profound collection of narratives that illuminate the rich cultural heritage of the Blackfeet tribe of North America. Grinnell's literary style is both lyrical and immersive, weaving traditional tales, folklore, and the oral history of the Blackfeet people into a narrative fabric that captures the essence of their worldview. The book serves as both an ethnographic study and a literary work, providing invaluable insights into the traditions, beliefs, and values of a community that has faced the relentless pressures of modernization while striving to preserve its identity. George Bird Grinnell, a notable American anthropologist, historian, and conservationist, dedicated much of his life to the study of Native American cultures and the natural world. His deep respect for Indigenous peoples is evident in his writings, shaped by personal experiences, including his time spent among the Blackfeet. Grinnell's extensive knowledge of their customs and his commitment to documenting their stories stem from his belief in the necessity of preserving the voices of marginalized communities. This book is essential for anyone interested in Native American studies, folklore, or the intersection of culture and history. Grinnell's work not only enriches the reader's understanding of the Blackfeet but also invites us to reflect on the importance of storytelling as a means of cultural preservation. A must-read for scholars and laypersons alike.

Marvel Comics - The Untold Story

Sean Howe

A behind-the-scenes chronicle of a beloved American media empire and the men behind it, including Martin Goodman, Stan Lee, and Jack Kirby.  
 
A New York Times–Bestseller 
 
“A definitive portrait of comics in American culture.” —The Wall Street Journal 
 
In the early 1960s, a struggling company called Marvel Comics presented a cast of brightly costumed characters distinguished by smart banter and compellingly human flaws: Spider-Man, the Fantastic Four, the Avengers, the X-Men. Over the course of a half a century, Marvel’s epic universe would become the most elaborate fiction narrative in history and serve as a modern American mythology for millions of readers. 
 
For the first time, Marvel Comics reveals the outsized personalities behind the scenes, including Martin Goodman, Stan Lee, Jack Kirby, and generations of editors, artists, and writers who struggled with commercial mandates, a fickle audience, and—over matters of credit and control—one another. Marvel Comics is a story of fertile imaginations, lifelong friendships, action-packed fistfights, and third-act betrayals—a narrative of one of the most extraordinary, beloved, and beleaguered pop-culture entities in America’s history. 
 
“Sean Howe’s history of Marvel makes a compulsively readable, riotous and heartbreaking version of my favorite story, that of how a bunch of weirdoes changed the world . . . That it’s all true is just frosting on the cake.” —Jonathan Lethem

A Spectre Haunting

China Miéville

In 1848, THE COMMUNIST MANIFESTO was published by two émigrés from Germany. Marx and Engels' apocalyptic vision of an insatiable system that penetrates every corner of the world reduces every relationship to that of profit, and burst asunder the old forms of production and of politics. It is still a recognisable picture of our world – the vampiric energy of the system being once again highly contentious. 
 
The Manifesto is a text that shows no sign of fading into antiquarian obscurity. Its ideas animate in different ways the work of writers like Yanis Varoufakis, Adam Tooze, Naomi Klein and the journalist Owen Jones. 
 
China Mieville is not a writer who has been hemmed in by conventional notions of expertise or genre, and this is a strikingly imaginative take on Marx and what his most haunting book has to say to us today.

Sunshine State Mafia - A History...

Doug Kelly

A vivid, wild ride through a century of Mafia lore, this book tells stories of organized crime rings that have settled in Florida and made the state their base of operations for bootlegging, gambling, extortion, money laundering, and drug running. 
 
 
 
Featuring Al Capone and crime rings in Miami and South Florida, the Trafficante family in Tampa, Harlan Blackburn and his gambling empire in Orlando, and many more individuals both infamous and little known, this book explains how and why mob bosses from northern states came to Florida in the early 1900s—they saw the state as a respite from cold weather and a good place to evade law enforcement. 
 
 
 
Doug Kelly offers never-before-told information from newly released files, interviews with retired police and FBI agents, and his own career as a security consultant during the Cocaine Cowboys era. He also defines roles within Mafia families, discusses how changes in policing have impacted the patterns of criminal organizations, and talks about what distinguishes the Mafia from other groups. 
 
 
 
Sunshine State Mafia will surprise listeners with its insights into the influence of organized crime in the history of the state's small towns and cities.
