 | Left Handed, Son of Old Man Hat by Edward Sapir, Left Handed, Walter Dyk
With a simplicity as disarming as it is frank, Left Handed tells of his birth in the spring when the cottonwood leaves were about the size of my thumbnail , of family chores such as guarding the sheep near the hogan, and of his sexual awakening. As he grows older, his account turns to life in the open: nomadic cattle-raising, farming, trading, communal enterprises, tribal dances and ceremonies, lovemaking, and marriage. As Left Handed develops in understanding and stature, the accumulated wisdom of his people is made known to him. He learns the Navajo life founded upon principles: the necessity of honesty, foresightedness, self-discipline. The style of the narrative is almost biblical in its rhythms; but biblical, too, in many respects, is the traditional way of life it recounts. AUTHOR: Edward Sapir, Left Handed, Walter Dyk

 | Robin Hood was Right by Alfre Woodard, Chuck Collins, Ellen Gurzinsky, Joan P. Garner, Pam Rogers
Last year, Americans donated $150 billion to charity. Giving has never been more popular, possible or, for many, more confusing. There are oceans of need, mountains of requests, and often little time for the consideration needed to give thoughtfully and effectively. Change, not charity! is the book's enthusiastic theme. Long time activists and givers, authors Chuck Collins and Pam Rogers show that traditional charity most often reinforces the status quo and maintains the dynamics of dependency and control. The progressive ethic of giving endorsed in this book, on the other hand, offers detailed ways to address the root causes of societal problems. With numerous organizational listings and hundreds of helpful suggestions, ROBIN HOOD WAS RIGHT is a fun, user friendly guide for the socially conscious giver, whether one is able to give annually $500 or $5,000,000.
