The Kebra Nagast is a sacred text originally written in 14th
century Ethiopia. It tells the story of how the Queen of Sheba met
the biblical King Solomon, and relates the birth of her son,
Menilek, who became the legendary king of Ethiopia. A work of
incredible cultural significance, The Kebra Nagast is far more than
simply a piece of literature - it is a testament to richness of
Ethiopian tradition and culture. In addition to its importance in
Ethiopian traditions, the Kebra Nagast has become a key text for
Rastafarians. The Kebra Nagast: The Lost Bible of Rastafarian
Wisdom and Faith is the latest title in the Essential Wisdom
Library series, which brings sacred texts from all traditions to
modern readers. This new edition of the book includes a foreword by
Ziggy Marley, which explores the importance of the Kebra Nagast as
a powerful and sacred text both in Rastafarian tradition and in a
broader sense. A clean, fresh design and inside cover printing give
this ancient text modern appeal.
Aram Saroyan's The Street: An Autobiographical Novel tells what it
was like to come of age in New York City in the turbulent period of
Vietnam and L.S.D., of racial unrest and rock-and-roll. Saroyan's
free-wheeling, poignant and funny autobiographical novel deals with
near stardom in Hollywood (Mike Nichols wanted him for the title
role in "The Graduate"), his father, William Saroyan, his
step-father, Walter Matthau, and a fascinating cast of characters
from the world famous to the drop-outs of the psychedelic
revolution. A screen adaptation of The Street, written and directed
by Noam J. Christopher, can be viewed at ubu.com/film/saroyan.html.
"Here is a novel that pins down an era." -Bookpeople Aram Saroyan's

from the Poetry Society of America. His many prose books include
Genesis Angels: The Saga of Lew Welch and the Beat Generation,
Artists in Trouble: New Stories, and Door to the River: Essays and
Reviews from the 1960s into the Digital Age. "A writer who looks
deeply into himself and his own experience, confronts what he finds
there with real courage and reports what he has experienced with a
measure of candor that is both breathtaking and, at moments,
heartbreaking." -Jonathan Kirsch, Los Angeles Times

"Those who wish to bury me should remember that I come from the
earth and the powers of the earth reside within me forever." Follow

makes the world a better place for all to live and grow wise just
like him.
A collection of first-person stories and essays about living on
Pine Island, a barrier island off the West Coast of Florida. The
author and his wife have lived on Pine Island for 18 years and have
met just about every kind of animal, insect, amphibian, reptile and
person that inhabits small, sub-tropical mangrove islands in this
part of Florida. Often humorous, the stories share the lives of
creatures often unseen by other people. Also shared are weather
patterns, including a category 5 hurricane, and the many
"transplants," non-native species that have made Florida their
permanent home.
