|  | Mary Ritter Beard by Ann J. Lane
Mary Beard (1876-1958) is considered the founding architect of American women`s history. She wrote a number of books on women, although she is usually noted for her collaboration with her husband, historian Charles Beard. Here, in one highly accessible volume, are the essential speeches, articles, and excerpts in which Beard argued that women powerfully shape history. Vital and provocative, this collection restores Beard to her well-earned place as an historiographer of the early 20th century. AUTHOR: Ann J. Lane

 | Casey Jones's Fireman by James Bernardin, Nancy Farmer, Phyllis Fogelman
Casey Jones buys a train whistle from a very strange looking man, and isn't sure who the man could be. Sim Webb, Casey Jones's fireman, figures out that the stranger is actually the devil, and that the train whistle is no ordinary whistle--it's actually the whistle that will blow when the world is about to end. He tries to warn Casey, who ignores him. As they speed down the tracks in the train, Casey refuses to slow down, blows the whistle, hits another train, and dies. Sim escapes, but will he be able to save the world? Includes an endnote about Sim Webb as well as color illustrations throughout. AUTHOR: James Bernardin, Nancy Farmer, Phyllis Fogelman
