Readers share Lekutons first encounter with a lion, the epitome of bravery in the warrior tradition. They follow his mischievous antics as a young Maasai cattle herder, coming-of-age initiation, boarding school escapades, soccer success, and journey to America for college (where he was so worried about not eating with "proper" American manners that he went without food for four days). Lekutons riveting text combines exotic details of nomadic life with the universal experiences and emotions of a growing boy. A full-color photo insert draws young readers deeper into this vibrant but rapidly disappearing culture. [via]

Krakatoa: The Day the World Exploded, August 27, 1883by Simon WinchesterISBN 0786257296 (0-7862-5729-6)
Hardcover, Thorndike Pr
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Krakatoa: The Day the World Exploded, August 27, 1883'Book summary:In Krakatoa, the author of The Map That Changed the World and The Professor and the Madman focuses his considerable research powers on one of the most cataclysmic events of modern history: the volcanic eruption, in 1883, of the Southeast Asian island of Krakatoa, which resulted in the deaths of 36,000 people and sent shock-waves around the world. But what at the time was a mysterious, almost supernatural phenomenon has become, under the precepts of the contemporary science of plate tectonics, explicable if no less tragic. Winchester veers between eyewitness accounts by survivors and the limited scientific measurements of the time in an attempt to describe the indescribable. The event "is still said to be the most violent explosion ever recorded and experienced by modern man," he writes. "Six cubic miles of rock had been blasted out of existence, had been turned into pumice and ash and uncountable billions of particles of dust." Yet words and numbers can barely hint at the scale of the calamity, which resulted in tsunamis that washed whole villages into the ocean and forever changed the very topography of the area. The author also explores the social and cultural topography, noting, "Orthodox Islam, its revival in part triggered by tragic events such as the great cataclysm, was totally transformed in Java during the nineteenth century, with fundamentalism, militancy, and profound hostility to non-Muslims its watchwords." At times Winchester seems to overstate his case, and the link he finds between Krakatoa and the rise of anti-Western sentiment in the Islamic world isnt especially convincing. But, by weaving together the disaster with science, communications, politics, religion, and economics, he has come up with a comprehensive and often fascinating glimpse into the way the world, and our perception of it, can change in an instant. --Shawn Conner [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Kushiel's Avatar'Book summary:The land of Terre d'Ange is a place of unsurpassed beauty and grace. It is said that angels found the land and saw it was good ... and the ensuing race that rose from the seed of angels and men live by one simple rule: Love as thou wilt.[via]
Phèdre nó Delaunay is a woman pricked by Kushiel's Dart, chosen to forever experience pain and pleasure as one. Her path has been strange and dangerous, and through it all the devoted swordsman Joscelin has been at her side. Her very nature is a torturous thing for them both, but he is sworn to her and he has never violated his vow: to protect and serve.
But Phèdre's plans put Joscelin's pledge to the test, for she has never forgotten her childhood friend Hyacinthe. She has spent ten long years searching for the key to free him from his eternal indenture, a bargain he struck with the gods-- to take Phèdre's place as a sacrifice and save a nation. Phèdre cannot forgive-- herself or the gods. She is determined to seize one last hope to redeem her friend, even of it means her death.
The search will bring Phèdre and Joscelin across the world, to distant courts where madness reigns and souls are currency, and down a fabled river to a land forgotten by most of the world.
And to a power so mighty that none dare speak its name.More editions of Kushiel's Avatar:

Reprint." William W. Johnstone is one of the great American storytellers of our generation. Now the acclaimed author of the ASHES and MOUNTAIN MAN series brings us an unforgettable tale of war, love, courage and ultimate betrayal. . . It was a journey out of innocence into manhood, out of peace and into a war that wouldnt end. Terry Kovak was born with a special skill, the courage to use it, and patriotic pride in taking on a job no one else would do. Chosen for an elite, top secret squad of soldiers so deadly its own country couldnt acknowledge its existence, Kovak became the most feared soldier of his time. Until he was no longer needed. Until he was forced to fight a war of his own. From the green hills of Georgia to the killing jungles of Vietnam, from South America to a bloody revolution in Africa, Terry Kovak became a man without a country- a hero cut off from his family, his friends, and even his fellow soldiers. He was the last of the shadow government unit called the Dog Team- the one American who would never back down- at the risk of his honor, his ideals, and his life. [via]

The Politics Of Truth: A Diplomat's Memoir Inside The Lies That Put The White House On Trial and Betrayed My Wife's Cia Identityby Joseph WilsonISBN 0786715510 (0-7867-1551-0)
Softcover, Public Affairs
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'The Politics Of Truth: A Diplomat's Memoir Inside The Lies That Put The White House On Trial and Betrayed My Wife's Cia Identity'Book summary:While many former Bush administration officials published books airing their gripes and concerns in advance of the 2004 election, few were in a situation as personal as Joseph Wilson's. A career diplomat, he found himself working for an administration that apparently leaked information revealing his wife, Valerie Plame, to be a CIA operative soon after Wilson cast doubt on Bush's claims of Iraq trying to buy uranium from Niger. When columnist Robert Novak named Plame, there was widespread speculation about who leaked the information. In The Politics of Truth, Wilson points a finger at Dick Cheneys chief-of-staff I. Lewis (Scooter) Libby and national security aide Eliot Abrams although Wilson never really presents smoking gun evidence against them. There is little here that breaks new ground in terms of hard facts being revealed, nonetheless, Wilson's account, personal and well written, maps out the human impact of the situation in ways that major newspapers never could. Wilson's animus toward the administration is made stronger by his support of the president in the 2000 election and he held out hope that a centrist conservative approach would help America's position in the world. That scenario withered, in Wilson's mind, when the plan to invade Iraq became increasingly inevitable and, like many traditional conservatives, Wilson mourns the rise of the ideological "neo-conservatives" who shaped foreign policy. But while a true-life secret identity/betrayal story is inherently fascinating, and Wilson's indignation and scorn is powerfully delivered, there is more to recommend his book. Wilson tells of being stationed in the Persian Gulf in the days leading up to the first Gulf War, a haunting encounter with Saddam Hussein, and years of efforts to establish democracy in Africa. The Politics of Truth provides a glimpse inside the high stakes world of international intelligence and, Joseph Wilson says, that world can be vicious. --John Moe [via]

Prophet's Camel Bellby LaurenceISBN 0771047061 (0-7710-4706-1)
Softcover, McClelland & Stewart Ltd
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Prophet's Camel Bell'Book summary:Margaret Laurence is best known for her extraordinary series of novels celebrating the fictional community of Manawaka, Manitoba. Earlier in her career, though, she lived for two years in the very different world of the Haud desert of Somaliland (now Somalia), where she explored the oral narratives of the Somalis, who at the time had no written language, and studied African culture. Her time in West Africa provided the impetus for her non-fiction account of that experience, The Prophet's Camel Bell; her first novel, This Side Jordan; her first collection of short stories, The Tomorrow-Tamer; a study of Nigerian novelists and dramatists, Long Drums and Cannons; and A Tree For Poverty: Somali Poetry and Prose, which she edited and translated.
For The Prophet's Camel Bell, Laurence drew on diary nearly a decade after she had returned to Canada. Coming out of her study of African colonialism, the work emphasizes political and personal independence, cultural inheritance, racial equality, women's liberation, and the need to promote burgeoning national literatures, including that of Canada. It is also an astonishingly intimate memoir that complements Laurence's posthumously published Dance on the Earth. In the course of mapping out the literary geography of Somalia in The Prophet's Camel Bell, Laurence found a clearer sense of what she wanted to accomplish as a Canadian writing about Canada. This book is a fresh and forthright work of imagination and observation, and it is still a pleasure to read. --Jeffrey Canton [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Tea: Addiction, Exploitation, and Empire'Book summary:Tea came late to Englandafter its arrival in Portugal, Holland, and Francebut quickly became a national obsession. Tea gardens and shops sprang up everywhere in seventeenth-century England. Demand soon spread to the colonies, where the heavy taxation on tea led to smuggling on a massive scale and, in the New World, cost England her American empire. Tea drove the British to war with China, to guarantee the supply of pekoe, and it prompted colonists to clear jungles in India, Ceylon, and Africa for huge tea plantations. In time, the cultivation of tea would subject more than one million laborers to wretched working conditions. Hundreds of thousands of them would die for the commodity that for four centuries propelled Britain's economy and epitomized the reach of its empire. With the same colorful detail and narrative skill that pushed The Great Hedge of India to international success, author Roy Moxham, once a tea planter himself, maps the impact of a monumental and imperial British enterprise. In this new volume, he offers a fully fascinating, and frequently shocking tale of England's tea tradeof the lands it claimed, the people it exploited, the profits it garnered, and the cups it filled.[via]More editions of Tea: Addiction, Exploitation, and Empire:

The Travels of Marco Poloby Marco PoloISBN 0760765898 (0-7607-6589-8)

› Find signed collectible books: 'The Travels of Marco Polo'Book summary:First published in 1931. None of the manuscripts which have come down to us represents the original form of Marco Polo's narrative, but it is clear that certain texts are closer to the lost original than others. Entrusted with the task of preparing a new Italian edition of Marco Polo, Benedetto discovered many unknown manuscripts. He carefully edited the most famous of the manuscripts (the Geographic text) and collated it with the other best known ones.
· An invaluable index has been added to Aldo Ricci's of Benedetto's text, which includes all the identifications made in the Geographic text and also later editions by Marsden (1818), Pauthier (1865) and Yule (1871).
· The difficulty of following Polo on his many journeys has also been simplified by the process of distinguishing between those places on his main route to China and his return journey by sea to Persia and those places which he visited during his stay in China and those he never visited at all.

› Find signed collectible books: 'The Zimbabwe Culture: Origins and Decline of Southern Zambezian States'Book summary:Offering a unique and original perspective on the rise and fall of indigenous states of southern Zambezia, The Zimbabwe Culture analyzes the long contentious history of the remains of the remarkable cyclopean masonry, ranging from mighty capitals of traditional kings to humble farmsteads. Forming a cornerstone of the geographical lore of Africa in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, debate on the origins, development, and collapse of the Zimbabwe culture has never ceased, and with increasing archaeological research over the twentieth century, has become more complex. Thoroughly examining the growth and decline of pre-colonial states on the entire Zimbabwean Plateau and southern Zambezia, Dr. Pikirayi has contributed tremendously towards the archaeological understanding of this extraordinary culture. The Zimbabwe Culture is essential reading for all students and avocationalists of African archaeology, history, and culture. [via]
