 | Spirit and Reason by Barbara Deloria, Kristen Foehner, Sam Scinta, Vine Deloria
Viewed by many as one of the most influential Native Americans of the twentieth century, Vine Deloria, Jr., through his extensive writings on political and legal issues, has changed the way people view American Indians. Although best known for his contributions to American Indian issues, Deloria has also been one of the foremost critics of contemporary thought, placing him among the most significant philosophers of this century. In this collection of writings culled from his extensive career, including several works never before published, Deloria explores a wide array of topics, challenging theories of religion and science, examining the problems of modern education, and expounding on our understanding of the world. An essential anthology for people familiar with Deloria's work, as well as those discovering him for the first time, these writings will challenge, provoke, and enlighten.

 | A Tale of Two Cities by Andrew Sanders, Brendan Lynch, Charles Dickens, Emily Hutchinson, Harry Shefter
Dickens's one serious, un-comic novel, A TALE OF TWO CITIES, is set during the French Revolution and tells a story of unselfish devotion. The beautiful Lucy Manette marries Charles Darnay, the descendant of an aristocratic French family denounced by the revolutionaries, among whom are the memorably evil fanatic Mme. Defarge. When Darnay is arrested and condemned to death, his place is taken at the guillotine by Sidney Carton, who loves Lucy himself and is willing to die to secure her happiness (and who happens to resemble Darnay). His last words-- 'Tis a far, far better thing that I do than I have ever done... --have become nearly as famous as the novel itself, one of Dickens's most beloved works despite its sober subject matter. It is also, with BARNABY RUDGE, one of his only two historical novels. AUTHOR: Andrew Sanders, Brendan Lynch, Charles Dickens, Emily Hutchinson, Harry Shefter
