Coming of Age in Mississippi by Anne Moody, ISBN 0385337817

$10.75

Born to a poor couple who were tenant farmers on a plantation in Mississippi, Anne Moody lived through some of the most dangerous days of the pre-civil rights era in the South. The week before she began high school came the news of Emmet Till's lynching. Before then, she had "known the fear of hunger, hell, and the Devil. But now there was...the fear of being killed just because I was black." In that moment was born the passion for freedom and justice that would change her life.
An all-A student whose dream of going to college is realized when she wins a basketball scholarship, she finally dares to join the NAACP in her junior year. Through the NAACP and later through CORE and SNCC she has first-hand experience of the demonstrations and sit-ins that were the mainstay of the civil rights movement, and the arrests and jailings, the shotguns, fire hoses, police dogs, billy clubs and deadly force that were used to destroy it.
A deeply personal story but also a portrait of a turning point in our nation's destiny, this autobiography lets us see history in the making, through the eyes of one of the footsoldiers in the civil rights movement.

A fascinating exploration of our evolving national psyche, this book chronicles major traumas in recent American history--"from the Depression and Pearl Harbor, to the assassinations of the Kennedys and Martin Luther King, Jr., to Ruby Ridge, Waco, and Columbine--"how we responded to them as a nation, and what our responses mean.

New student-friendly features, including discussion questions and "Symbolic Events" boxes in each chapter, give the book added value as a classroom supplement.

Secrets of the Stone Age: A Prehistoric Journey by Richard Rudgley, ISBN 0712669655

The popular view that Stone Age Man was primitive and ignorant is shattered as the author reveals the remarkable accomplishments made before the dawn of history. The journey begins in ancient Egypt, where excavations at Abydos have unearthed hieroglyphs belonging to an age before the pharaohs; to stone circles and burial chambers in Ireland which carbon dating proves pre-date Stonehenge by two millennia; to the world's first town, 9,000-year-old Catal Huyuk in Turkey; to startling new research on the Ice Man, the 5,000-year-old mummy found in an Alpine glacier; to 11,000-year-old writing unearthed on the banks of the Euphrates; to the awe-inspiring cave paintings of Ice Age France; and finally to Indonesia where the discovery of stone tools proves that pre-Neanderthal man undertook sea voyages 700,000 years before the Kon Tiki.
