In keeping with the keen historical insights of his first book, In Search of the Great White God, where he probes origins of his childhood religion, Anthony T. Cluff once again reaches back in time to tell stories here of thirty-two boys and men and their journey to manhood. While each story is unique, Cluff says that the common theme in all is the uncertainty of the journey once it has begun. The outcome can never be foreseen. One young boys journey ends almost before it begins, anothers at the doorstep to manhood, while another mans journey has gone on for centuries. In the telling of these stories, Cluff creates a new awareness of the long and unbroken chain that links all of us living today with the boys and men who overcame the challenges of lifes journey in the past. Then, as now, the journeys are about courage, heroism, tragedy, defeat, setbacks, and opportunity. There is something here for everyone in these stories, Cluff says, but these stories will have special meaning for young men who are now on their own unique journeys to becoming a man.

In a departure from his first book dealing with a personal search for meaning, and his second book dealing with the journey into manhood for other boys and men, Anthony T. Cluff offers in this his third book, The Tribal Instinct and the Yearning to Belong, an eye-opening examination of an obscure and unseen force that affects us all. Its beginnings, Cluff says, can be traced back to our primitive ancestors who relied on it to survive. They did so by joining with others to get what they wanted but couldn't get on their own. With keen insight and sometimes biting humor, Cluff argues that we do the same today. We don't always recognize it for what it is. Signs of this obscure and unseen force are all around us, Cluff says. We just need to know where to look. It's in the choices we make in politics, religion, the media, and sports. But it can also be found in less obvious places, such as witch hunts, outbreaks of mass hysteria, the uncertainties of postmodern thinking, our hierarchy of needs, modern consumerism, and the role that power plays in prognostications about our future well-being. It's on display in the behavior of crowds, the unfolding of mass movements, and the strong appeal of collectivism. The outcomes here have not always been to our liking, Cluff says, and he warns us against blindly going along with the crowd to fulfill the urgings of this powerful force. Cluff points to mistakes we've made in the past when we did. He says we now need to recognize and manage the demands of this powerful force if we are to survive as a species.

A haunting tribute to the heroic pioneers who shaped the American Midwest This powerful novel by Willa Cather is considered to be one of her finest works and placed Cather in the forefront of women novelists. It tells the stories of several immigrant families who start new lives in America in rural Nebraska. This powerful tribute to the quiet heroism of those whose struggles and triumphs shaped the American Midwest highlights the role of women pioneers, in particular. Written in the style of a memoir penned by Antonia’s tutor and friend, the book depicts one of the most memorable heroines in American literature, the spirited eldest daughter of a Czech immigrant family, whose calm, quite strength and robust spirit helped her survive the hardships and loneliness of life on the Nebraska prairie. The two form an enduring bond and through his chronicle, we watch Antonia shape the land while dealing with poverty, treachery, and tragedy. “No romantic novel ever written in America...is one half so beautiful as My Ántonia.” -H. L. Mencken Willa Cather (1873–1947) was an American writer best known for her novels of the Plains and for One of Ours, a novel set in World War I, for which she was awarded the Pulitzer Prize in 1923. She was elected a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1943 and received the gold medal for fiction from the National Institute of Arts and Letters in 1944, an award given once a decade for an author's total accomplishments. By the time of her death she had written twelve novels, five books of short stories, and a collection of poetry.

Schools Cannot Do It Alone tells of Jamie Vollmer, businessman and attorney, as he travels through through the land of public education. His encounters with blueberries, bell curves, and smelly eighth graders lead him to two critical discoveries. First, we have a systems problem, not a people problem. We must change the system to get the graduates we need. Second, we cannot touch the system without touching the culture of the surrounding town; everything that goes on inside a school is tied to local attitudes, values, traditions, and beliefs. Drawing on his work in hundreds of districts, Jamie offers teachers, administrators, board members, and their allies a practical program to secure the understanding, trust, permission, and support they need to change the system and increase student succes
