  WINSTON CHURCHILL 
  Sir Winston Leonard Spencer Churchill’s seemingly evergreen legacy has lived long past his death on January 24, 1965. He was a man who, despite the challenges he faced over the course of his life, showed great determination, intellect, political wisdom, and unparalleled leadership skills. 
  Churchill was born on November 30, 1874, into a world much different than our own, yet there is much we can and should learn from his story. He rose to political prominence before World War I, and over the course of his political career, he came into conflict or alliance with some of history’s other big names, like Adolf Hitler, Joseph Stalin, and Franklin D. Roosevelt, among others. 
  This book aims to provide a quick look into the life, achievements, lessons, and legacy of one of the most prominent leaders in recent memory, Sir Winston Churchill.

  Originally published in 1988, and charting the first decade of Prince’s meteoric rise, Prince: Imp of the Perverse, was the earliest book to explore Prince’s prodigious and eccentric talent.  
   
  Prince Rogers Nelson stood alone as a musical maestro amongst his peers, and proved you could do it all yourself: write, play, perform, produce and take control of your career.  He took American pop by the scruff of the neck and shaped it to his own mercurial ends.  
   
  This contemporary account examines the genius, and reveals truths, behind the many masks.

  Murder & Mayhem in Mendon and...

  The notorious history of two nineteenth-century hamlets in western New York, famous for an era of bustling commerce—and criminality.   The Town of Mendon and the Village of Honeoye Falls are today quiet western New York suburbs, but they weren't always so idyllic. In years past, the village was a center of commerce, manufacturing and railroads, and by the mid-nineteenth century, this prosperity brought with it an element of mayhem. Horse stealing was commonplace. Saloons and taverns were abundant. Street scuffles and barroom brawls were regular, especially on Saturday nights, after the laborers were paid. By Sunday morning, numerous drunks—like Manley Locke, who would eventually go on to kill another man in a fight—were confined to the lockup in the village hall. It was at this time that the Village of Honeoye Falls earned the name “Murderville.” As the town and village turn two hundred, join local historians Diane Ham and Lynne Menz as they explore the peaceful region’s vicious history.   Includes photos!

  In this early "Jeeves" novel, the infamous Bertie Wooster, rebuffing the assistance of his trusty manservant Jeeves, attempts to help his old chum and newt-fancier Gussie Fink-Nottle win the affections of the goofy but adorable Madeline Bassett. But without Jeeves to lend a hand, chaos ensues, and Bertie finds himself accidentally - and horribly - engaged to Madeline himself.  Right Ho, Jeeves contains a passage described by actor Stephen Fry (a Jeeves and Bertie veteran) as "the single funniest piece of sustained writing in the language".  A much beloved romp by the master of satirical comedy, the legendary P.G. Wodehouse

  Women Who Invented the Sixties -...

  Women Who Invented the Sixties tells the story of how four women helped define the 1960s and made a lasting impression for decades to follow. 
   
   
   
  In 1960, Ella Baker played the key role in the founding of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, which became an essential organization for students during the civil rights movement and the model for the antiwar and women's movements. In 1961, Jane Jacobs published The Death and Life of Great American Cities, changing the shape of urban planning irrevocably. In 1962, Rachel Carson published Silent Spring, creating the modern environmental movement. And in 1963, Betty Friedan wrote The Feminine Mystique, which sparked second-wave feminism and created lasting changes for women. Their four separate interventions helped, together, to end the 1950s and invent the 1960s. 
   
   
   
  Women Who Invented the Sixties situates each of these four women in the 1950s—Baker's early activism with the NAACP and the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, Jacobs's work with Architectural Forum and her growing involvement in neighborhood protest, Carson's conservation efforts and publications, and Friedan's work as a labor journalist and the discrimination she faced—before exploring their contributions to the 1960s and the movements they each helped shape.
