Travelling from England to the gold fields of New Zealand and on to the Pampas of Argentina, John George Walker eventually, after some forty years, returned home. For him and his family, the general catastrophe of the First World War turned into personal tragedy by claiming the lives of two of his three surviving sons.

Twigs of a Family Tree is the true story of a family, one not by blood but in spirit. You will find a story eight generations long, as the middle four united from across the globe to tell it. The story starts in the days of Baha'u'llah, and carries you to the edge of tomorrow. It speaks to everyone who yearns to hold meaningful conversations--with others or within one's self--about our society's biggest "forbidden" topics: politics, race, religion, and sex. It speaks of struggle and growth, craving and recovery, chasms and bridges, crisis and victory, love and faith. It speaks our truth. Cultural anthropologist Jean Mavrelis says of Twigs of a Family Tree, "For those who see the unity of humankind, much is required in breaking out of old paradigms. These are stories of exceptional people who transcended their early programming, and moved to a community of wholeness and acceptance of the complexity of 'humans being' ... one that provides a spiritual framework of meaning, belonging, and higher power. Well done!" Twigs of a Family Tree took thirteen years to write. It was worth every moment. The only sad note is that one family member did not live to see her completed work in print. Happily, she lives on through her words, her unique story. Six "angels" helped this book come to be: + First, the collector who asked for one story, and the thespian who inspired the addition of others. + Next, the acquisitions editor who requested at least double the length. + Then, the friend who quoted a line that unveiled why this book demanded to be written. + And finally, the twelve-stepper who received help to survive, and the survivor who provided that help, whose mutual experiences triggered the revelation that completed this book. Twigs of a Family Tree has been hailed as groundbreaking. Writer Lynnea Yancy calls it "part teaching story, part history, part love story, and part adventure ... told with skill, kindliness, and a wisdom born of experience. A mighty fine job." And author Dale Lehman declares, "These uplifting stories of faith found and unity forged offer hope to our fragmented world." The members of this family-in-spirit believe that we are all part, both genetically and spiritually, of one worldwide human family. If you believe that too, then reading Twigs of a Family Tree is a trip to your family reunion. One you will enjoy.

From the acclaimed author of Fordlandia, the story of a remarkable slave rebellion that illuminates America's struggle with slavery and freedom during the Age of Revolution and beyond One morning in 1805, off a remote island in the South Pacific, Captain Amasa Delano, a New England seal hunter, climbed aboard a distressed Spanish ship carrying scores of West Africans he thought were slaves. They weren't. Having earlier seized control of the vessel and slaughtered most of the crew, they were staging an elaborate ruse, acting as if they were humble servants. When Delano, an idealistic, anti-slavery republican, finally realized the deception, he responded with explosive violence. Drawing on research on four continents, The Empire of Necessity explores the multiple forces that culminated in this extraordinary event—an event that already inspired Herman Melville's masterpiece Benito Cereno. Now historian Greg Grandin, with the gripping storytelling that was praised in Fordlandia, uses the dramatic happenings of that day to map a new transnational history of slavery in the Americas, capturing the clash of peoples, economies, and faiths that was the New World in the early 1800s.

A fully updated edition of one of the most original accounts of evolution ever written, featuring new fractal diagrams, six new 'tales' and the latest scientific developments. THE ANCESTOR'S TALE is a dazzling, four-billion-year pilgrimage to the origins of life: Richard Dawkins and Yan Wong take us on an exhilarating reverse journey through evolution, from present-day humans back to the microbial beginnings of life. It is a journey happily interrupted by meetings of fellow modern animals (as well as plants, fungi and bacteria) similarly tracing their evolutionary path back through history. As each evolutionary pilgrim tells their tale, Dawkins and Wong shed light on topics such as speciation, sexual selection and extinction. Written with unparalleled wit, clarity and intelligence; taking in new scientific discoveries of the past decade; and including new 'tales', illustrations and fractal diagrams, THE ANCESTOR'S TALE shows us how remarkable we are, how astonishing our history, and how intimate our relationship with the rest of the living world.

An American Teacher in Argentina tells the story of Mary E. Gorman who in 1869 was the first North American woman to accept President Domingo F. Sarmiento’s invitation to set up normal schools in Argentina, where she eventually settled. An ordinary historical actor whose life only sometimes enters the historical record, she moved along the fault lines of some of the greatest historical dramas and changes in nineteenth-century US and Argentine history: she was a pioneering child on the US-Indian frontier; she participated in the push for US women’s education; she was a single woman traveler at a time when few women traveled alone; she was a player in an Argentine attempt to expand common school education; and a beneficiary of the great primary products export boom in the second half of nineteenth-century Argentina, and thus well positioned to enjoy the country’s Belle Époque. The book is not a straightforward, biographical narrative of a woman’s life. It charts a life, but, more important, it charts the evolving ideas in a life lived mostly among people pushing boundaries in pursuit of what they considered progress. What emerges is a quintessentially transnational life story that engages with themes of gender, education, religion, contact with indigenous peoples in both the US and Argentina, natural history, and economic and political change in Argentina in the second half of the nineteenth century. Because the book tells a good story about one woman’s rich and eventful life, it will also appeal to an audience beyond academe.
