Mavis Templeton faces a crisis when his septuagenarian father drops dead outside a dubious Mexican restaurant, somewhere in the bleak North Dakotan outback. After a moment of panic, Mavis props up his dead father in the passenger seat of the old Ford Pinto and makes a run for the Canadian border, determined to get the old duffer home at any cost. But time is running out for the last Templeton, and the greatest crisis of his life awaits his return. Told through the unique eyes and mind of Mavis, The Last Templeton is the poignant and slightly off-kilter story of a man who learns that family doesn't have to be defined by bloodlines.

Land of the Bear

This fascinating book relates all the excitement, mystery, danger, and adventure of living and traveling in Siberia. It all started back in 1991, when I received an invitation via the Gorbachev government, in conjunction with a mining company working with the Soviet Union, to visit, write about, photograph, and film what the country had to offer American tourists and hunters. This was the era of "Glasnost" and "Perestroika." Gorbachev wanted to bring in American tourists to bolster the sagging economy. That first expedition led to 22 years traveling back and forth to the former Soviet Union - now Russia - where I hung out with the KGB, met numerous dignitaries, and lived in tents and trapper...

The Politics of Identity

Conventional wisdom believes that solidarity among the working poor is rare in the United States and identity politics shoulders a large portion of the blame. The Politics of Identity offers a fresh take on solidarity building and identity among America's working poor by placing workers' voices center stage through the use of fieldwork and in-depth interviews. The book provides the first empirical assessment of long-standing theoretical debates over the effect of identity politics for developing additional solidarities that is politically relevant, theoretically rich, and highly readable.

American Scream

Written as a cultural weapon and a call to arms, Howl touched a raw nerve in Cold War America and has been controversial from the day it was first read aloud nearly fifty years ago. This first full critical and historical study of Howl brilliantly elucidates the nexus of politics and literature in which it was written and gives striking new portraits of Allen Ginsberg, Jack Kerouac, and William Burroughs. Drawing from newly released psychiatric reports on Ginsberg, from interviews with his psychiatrist, Dr. Philip Hicks, and from the poet's journals, American Scream shows how Howl brought Ginsberg and the world out of the closet of a repressive society. It also gives the first full accountin...

This ambitious work chronicles 250 years of the Cromartie family genealogical history.

A Deflowered Lotus

The earthy Maoist Revolution produced several generations of privileged, elitist leaders. They, and their no-less mini-monarch offspring continued a hard core of leadership dominating all major industries. Han Kai, the grandson of one who marched with Mao, attended America’s best boarding schools and universities; these earmarks projected him to manage Chinese Sovereign Fund investments in the US. He encounters the plotting Greta Stadler, an American committed to recovering Nazi-looted art rightfully owned by her ancestors lost to the Holocaust. The unlikely twosome greedily engages in deceptions that dust away all obstacles to their rubbery restlessness for vast wealth.
