  Gichigami Hearts - Stories and...

  Linda LeGarde Grover

  Long before there was a Duluth, Minnesota, the massive outcropping that divides the city emerged from the ridge of gabbro rock running along the westward shore of Lake Superior. A great westward migration carried the Ojibwe people to the Point of Rocks. Against this backdrop—Misaabekong, the place of the giants—the lives chronicled in Linda LeGarde Grover's book unfold, some in myth, some in long-ago times, some in an imagined present, and some in the author's family history, all with a deep bond to the land, one another, and the Ojibwe culture. 
   
   
   
  Their fortunes and the family's future are inextricably entwined with tales of marriages to voyageurs, relocations to reservation lands, encounters with the spirits of the lake and wood creatures, the renewal of life—in myth and in art, the search for meaning in the transformations of our day is always vital. Finally, in one man's struggles, age-old tribulations, the intergenerational traumas of extended families and communities, and a uniquely Ojibwe appreciation for the natural and spiritual worlds converge, forging the Ojibwe worldview and will to survive as his legacy to his descendants. 
   
   
   
  Blending the seen and unseen, the old and the new, the amusing and the tragic and the hauntingly familiar, this lyrical work encapsulates a way of life forever vibrant at the Point of Rocks.

  Espiritismo - Puerto Rican...

  One of the first books to explore this influential spiritual and magical tradition, covering its philosophy while also providing a practical hands-on guide. 
   
   
   
  Espiritismo is the Spanish word for Spiritism or Spiritualism, spiritual traditions that emerged to great popularity in the US following the Civil War. 
   
   
   
  In the US and Canada, Spiritualism's primary focus was on communication between the living and the dead. The spiritual tradition traveled around the world, especially in Latin America, where it evolved in different ways. 
   
   
   
  The Puerto Rican influence on modern Western magic is profound but largely unheralded. Beginning in the early twentieth century, Puerto Rican immigrants to the US introduced Espiritismo to the US spiritual landscape, strongly affecting the way magic was practiced. Hector Salva's book places Puerto Rican Espiritismo in this broader perspective.

  The Book of Eastbay - How Two...

  Unable to contain himself, Rick pitched Art: move back to Wausau and start a business selling shoes. Art said, "What are you, an idiot? Selling shoes? How is this even worth trying?" 
   
  This is the story of Eastbay, a startup tale unlike most you've heard. First it was $5,000 worth of track sneakers sold out of the back of an AMC Gremlin. Then it was a quiet storefront in Wausau, Wisconsin. Then it became a catalog, a bible to GenX kids growing up in the 1980s and '90s, a powerful tastemaker so authentic that pro athletes swore by it. Sneakerhead culture started here. 
   
  Eastbay was  a company ahead of its time that mastered mail-order selling before Amazon existed. That grew so fast and was so successful in the first athletic mail-order wholesale shoe business that Nike pulled its AIR products from the catalog. After five years, Nike decided to allow AIR products back into the Eastbay catalog and ultimately Eastbay partnered with Nike to produce several Nike catalogs. 
   
  Sneakers are a global obsession, and it all started here, where kids were encouraged to dream big, and dream often, which is just what the founders were doing all along. This is their story. This is The Book of Eastbay.

  Imagine a world where Heaven on Earth isn’t just a lofty ideal or a cosmic joke, but a tangible reality—one within our grasp. 
  Earth, The Improbable Utopia dares to explore this possibility, challenging the notion that our future is destined to be as bleak as our present. 
  In a world where humanity seems trapped in a relentless cycle of destruction and despair, author R.J. Fidalgo argues that we are the architects of our reality. Yet, despite overwhelming odds, a utopian future is not just a distant mirage—it’s a genuine possibility. 
  This thought-provoking book delves into the heart of our collective existence, examining cultures, religions, traditions, and governments from across the globe. Through a blend of critical analysis and hopeful vision, it confronts the flaws in our societies while highlighting practices and ideas that could guide us toward a better future. 
  Unlike exhaustive treatises or academic analyses, Earth, The Improbable Utopia is a book that sparks reflection and inspires action. Rather than dictating solutions, it invites readers to actively engage with the concepts presented—encouraging personal commitment and involvement in achieving the improbable. 
  A utopia can only be created through a shared effort and a willingness to reimagine what is possible. This is a book that seeks not to lecture but to inspire, challenging you to imagine, reflect, and contribute to the extraordinary journey toward a better world—a future we can only create together.

  Europe without Borders - A History

  Issac Stanley-Becker

  Europe is a place of free movement among nations—or is it? The Schengen area, established in 1985 and today encompassing twenty-nine European countries, allows people, goods, and capital to cross borders without restraint. Schengen transformed European life, advancing both a democratic project of transnational citizenship and a neoliberal project of international free trade. But the right of free movement always excluded non-Europeans, especially migrants of color from former colonies of the Schengen states. In Europe without Borders, Isaac Stanley-Becker explores the contested creation of free movement in Schengen. 
   
   
   
  Schengen laid the groundwork for the making of a single market and the founding of the European Union. Yet its emergence is one of the great untold stories of modern European history, one hidden in archives long embargoed. Stanley-Becker is among the first to have access to records of the treatymaking and Europe without Borders offers a pathbreaking account of Schengen's creation. Stanley-Becker argues that Schengen gave a humanist cast to a market paradigm; but even in pairing the border crossing of human beings with the principles of free-market exchange, this vision of free movement was hedged by alarm about foreign migrants. Meanwhile, these migrants—the sans-papiers—saw in the promise of a borderless Europe only a neocolonial enterprise.
