The Soul Of Baseball $9.59 When legendary Negro League player Buck O’Neil asked Joe Posnanski how he fell in love with baseball the renowned sports columnist was inspired by the question. He decided to spend the 2005 baseball season touring the country with the ninety-four-year-old O’Neil in hopes of rediscovering the love that first drew them to the game. The Soul of Baseball is as much the story of Buck O’Neil as it is the story of baseball.

The Movies That Changed Us: Reflections On The Screen $12.79 Nick Clooney one of America’s most respected film critics and historians presents a distinctive catalog of movies that have influenced and altered not only the world of cinema but also the world in which we live. Since the advent of moving pictures there have been films that exist as more than just entertainment. These rare movies have touched the collective soul of the public with such passion and artistic skill that they have actually changed the way we view life history and ourselves. Some have transformed the way movies are made and viewed — and some have actually transformed us. In The Movies That Changed Us Clooney explores explains and theorizes upon twenty films — reaching from 1998 back to 1915 — that forever shifted our perceptions about race religion sex politics and the very definition of humanity. From the ambitiously epic — though manifestly racist — Birth of a Nation to the controversial violence of Taxi Driver to the mythic idealism and visual cornucopia of 2001:A Space Odyssey and Star Wars Clooney relates the stories behind the camera in an informative engaging and personal chronicle of cinema and society. |

The Soul Of Baseball: A Road Trip Through Buck O’Neil’s America $12.59 When Legendary Negro League player Buck ONeil asked sports columnist Joe Posnanski how he fell in love with baseball Posnanski had to think about it. From that question was born the idea behind THE SOUL OF BASEBALL. Posnanski and ONeil decided to spend the 2005 baseball season touring the country in hopes of stirring up the love that first drew them to the game. This book is just as much a tribute to Buck ONeil as it is the story of baseball. In a time when disillusioned steroid-shooting money hungry athletes define the sport Buck ONeil stood out as a man that truly played for the love of the game. Posnanski writes about that love and the one thing that ONeil loved almost as much as baseball: the people who played it. THE SOUL OF BASEBALL is an endearing step back in time to the days when the crack of a bat and the smoky notes of a midnight jam session were the sounds that brought the most joy to a mans heart. |

The Best Old Movies For Families: A Guide To Watching Together $10.49 If a child can watch Barney , can’t that same child also enjoy watching Charlie Chaplin or the Marx Brothers? And as they get older, wouldn’t they grow to like screwball comedies ( His Girl Friday ), women’s weepies ( Imitation of Life ), and westerns ( The Searchers )? The answer is that they’ll follow because they’ll have learned that "old" does not necessarily mean "next channel, please." Here is an impassioned and eminently readable guide that introduces the delights of the golden age of movies. Ty Burr has come up with a winning prescription for children brought up on Hollywood junk food. FOR THE LITTLE ONES (Ages 3 6): Fast-paced movies that are simple without being unsophisticated, plainspoken without being dumbed down. Singin’ in the Rain and Bringing Up Baby are perfect. FOR THE ONES IN BETWEEN (Ages 7 12): "Killer stories," placing easily grasped characters in situations that start simply and then throw curveballs. The African Queen and Some Like It Hot do the job well. FOR THE OLDER ONES (Ages 13+): Burr recommends relating old movies to teens’ contemporary favorites: without Hitchcock, there could be no The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, without Brando, no Johnny Depp. From the Trade Paperback edition. |

Soul Mining $12.99 Bob Dylan, Willie Nelson, Emmylou Harris, U2, Peter Gabriel, and the Neville Brothers all have something in common: some of their best albums were produced by Daniel Lanois. A French-speaking kid from Canada, Lanois was driven by his innate curiosity and intense love of music to transcend his small-town origins and become one of the world’s most prolific and successful record producers, as well as a brilliant musician in his own right. Lanois takes us through his childhood, from being one of four kids raised by a single mother on a hairdresser’s salary, to his discovery by Brian Eno, to his work on albums such as U2′s The Joshua Tree , Bob Dylan’s Time Out of Mind , and Emmylou Harris’s Wrecking Ball . Revealing for the first time ever his unique recording secrets and innovations, Lanois delves into the ongoing evolution of technology, discussing his earliest sonic experiments with reel-to-reel decks, the birth of the microchip, the death of discrete circuitry, and the arrival of the download era. Part technological treatise, part philosophical manifesto on the nature of artistic excellence and the overwhelming need for music, Soul Mining brings the reader viscerally inside the recording studio, where the surrounding forces have always been just as important as the resulting albums. Beyond skill, beyond record budgets, beyond image and ego, Lanois’s work and music show the value of dedication and soul. His lifelong quest to find the perfect mixture of tradition and innovation is inimitable and unforgettable. |

Dragon Soul $6.29 With just two novels under their belts, young writers Jaida Jones and Danielle Bennett have established themselves as two of the hottest new stars in fantasy. Havemercy introduced readers to a brilliantly realized world riven by an intractable war between the kingdoms of Volstov and Ke-Han-a war in which the great dragons of Volstov-deadly hybrids of machine and magic-and their equally fierce human riders were all that kept the dark sorcery of Ke-Han at bay. In Shadow Magic , Jones and Bennett brought the common humanity of the opposing sides to life in an adventure that showcased once again their talent for creating not only fantastic settings but vivid characters to inhabit them. Now Jones and Bennett are back with their most accomplished novel yet, featuring the return of two beloved characters, the brothers Rook and Thom. When the war was at its height, there was no fighter on either side who could match Rook for sheer arrogance and skill. Only Rook could ride the great dragon Havemercy, whose savagery and bloodlust matched his own. Thom could not be more different. Bookish, diffident, reserved, he yearns for his brother"s approval-yet fears he can never earn it. With the war over, and an uneasy truce holding between Volstov and Ke-Han, it seems the perfect opportunity for the long-lost brothers to forge a bond by taking a trip together. At least, that"s how it seems to Thom. Rook hasn"t given a rat"s ass about anything since the end of the war, his brother included, and he"s not about to start now. Not when the one thing he loved in the world-Havemercy-lies scattered in pieces across Ke-Han. Then Rook and Thom discover that someone is buying up bits of the fallen dragons, including Havemercy. Though the dragons are dead, the magic that powered them is not-and if that magic and the technology created to harness it should fall into the wrong hands, the fragile peace could shatter. An agent from Ke-Han, a sorceress from Volstov, and a group of desert tribesmen are all in the race, and the future rests on whoever gets there first. But all that matters to Rook is that someone is desecrating his girl, so he vows to leave no stone unturned in laying her to rest-and taking his revenge. From the Hardcover edition. |

Over four consecutive days and nights, this unlikely group of Red Sox miraculously won four straight games to overcome the inevitability of their destiny.

The Canadian Kings of Repertoire: The Story of the Marks Brothers $8.39 The Marks Brothers may well have been the most remarkable theatrical family in Canadian history. A phenomenon on the vaudeville circuit the seven brothers left the farm and took to the boards and the footlights throughout the latter part of the 19th century and into the 1920s. The brothers from Christie Lake near Perth in Eastern Ontario played to an estimated eight million Canadians as well as to sizeable audiences in the United States. Their road shows largely melodramas and comedy kept audiences crying booing laughing and cheering until movies sounded the death knell for touring repertory companies. The publication of The Canadian Kings of Repertoire brings back for one more curtain call the seven Marks boys top hats diamond rings and all. Joining them in a farewell performance are their glamorous leading ladies and a superb cast of supporting players. So clear the aisles and up with the curtain. It’s showtime once more. A phenomenal success on the vaudeville circuit the Marks Brothers of Christie Lake Ontario performed throughout the late nineteenth century and into the 1920s. |

Voice From The Soul Of Trees $7.79 Introduction Voice from the Soul of Trees Even before you read the first poem in this collection, I would like to set the stage for what the book is about. The book provides a contrast of nature and life, their parallel collage; their montage; and a voice that blends life together. Life, as we all experience it, does not have a singular dimension. Neither does this collection of poetry. But what is does provide is a focus on our collective entities; you, I, us, and mankind; embracing, and living life as one; beyond boundaries. First, we are one with self; and secondarily, we are one with the world in which we live together; especially our loved ones. The resonant analogy is with nature, man, and living. The dominate figure in this collection is the tree; nature; and how nature and life work together. Trees have always intrigued me. They represent how life can comingle, and how they can create their own palette just as sisters and brothers, uncles and aunts, nieces and nephews, cousins, extended family members, friends, co-workers, acquaintances; people that challenge you; people that protect you, and people that love you; a universal tree. My initial inspiration came from this strong pecan tree that was in the backyard of my homestead. The tree was strong, stout, and sturdy; "hovering limbs, knotty branches, and deep roots". This tree represented life on so many levels. It was more than a tree that provided "spending money" in her season of bounty or a tree that represented the "toil" of having to rack her abundant leaves. This tree represented wisdom; life; living; being grounded; strength of mankind, shelter, and unity. So with this frame of reference, I look to all trees to provide the same lessons. I can ride along the countryside, and see a tree, and become inspired by its’ beauty. I can feel the life that emits from her roots; her branches; her strength and her spirit. I see trees comingling together; oftentimes a unique family relies on the natural order of life to dictate their unique place. Reminiscent of life, our distinctive styles of living, and our sometimes disjointed realities, I look to the soul of the tree. It is from this perspective that I have penned this collection of poetry and prose. The uniqueness of the tree; in varying seasons, bless us with their flowers or their fruit. In varying seasons, the fruit is bountiful. In varying seasons, they lie dormant; bearing the harshness of cold winters. In varying seasons, we only see the stumps of their existence. In the spring of their season, they give us new trees strong enough to bear "strong branches, knotty limbs, and deep roots." Celestine McMullen Allen |
