This urgent book explores the roots of racism and its legacy in
modern day, all while empowering young people with actionable ways
they can help foster a better world and become antiracists. Why are

and courage in the face of adversity. Perfect for fans of Stamped:

In the mid-nineteenth century, James Wickham was a wealthy farmer
with a large estate in Cutchogue, Long Island. His extensive
property included a mansion and eighty acres of farmland that were
maintained by a staff of servants. In 1854, Wickham got into an
argument with one of his workers, Nicholas Behan, after Behan
harassed another employee who refused to marry him. Several days
after Behan's dismissal, he crept back into the house in the dead
of night. With an axe, he butchered Wickham and his wife, Frances,
and fled to a nearby swamp. Behan was captured, tried, convicted
and, on December 15, became one of the last people to be hanged in
Suffolk County. Local historians Geoffrey Fleming and Amy Folk
uncover this gruesome story of revenge and murder.
When the primary value of bay-front property was the privilege of
harvesting seaweed, state legislator and Southold newspaperman
Joseph Nelson Hallock was stealing watermelon from Peter Gils
Well's patch and fighting for the privilege to pass the water at
Southold Academy. In the spirit of Mary Ellen Chase's
turn-of-the-century account of life in rural New England, Hallock
offers his firsthand impressions of the difficulties and pleasures
of North Fork life one hundred years ago. With a recipe for samp
porridge and tales of power brokering in Albany, "Southold
Reminiscences" is sure to inspire.

Documentary that sets out to tell the story behind the making of
the James Bond films. When American producers Harry Saltzman and
Albert Broccoli acquired the rights to adapt Ian Fleming's 'James
Bond' novels for the big screen they couldn't have dreamt of the
success they would find. However, as the franchise became a licence
to print money conflict inevitably emerged, causing Saltzman and
Broccoli to fall out with their lead actor, Sean Connery, then each
other. Despite the increasingly fraught drama behind the scenes,
the on-screen drama of the Bond films has continued to draw
audiences to the cinema 50 years after the release of the first
film, 'Dr No' (1962). Among the Bond luminaries to contribute to
the documentary are George Lazenby, Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton,
Pierce Brosnan and Daniel Craig.
This book explains violent and abusive behaviour and places it in a
social context. It can help readers of any age and sexual
orientation to change their own behaviour and to recognise when
they are being controlled. "I can honestly say that without reading
this book (9 times no less ) I don't think that I would be here
today, relaxed in my own home with my children that I love so
much."

Saturday, November 14, 5:00 A.M.
In the small Adirondack town of Millers Kill, an old lumberman sits
in the dark with his gun across his knees. Not far away, an
unemployed logger sleeps off his bender from the night before. The
owner of the town's last paper mill tosses in his bed. And a young
woman, one of three heirs to the 250,000-acre Great Camp, wakes
alone in darkness, bound and gagged.
Chief of Police Russ Van Alstyne wants nothing more than a quiet
day of hunting in the mountains on his fiftieth birthday. His wife
needs to have the town's new luxury resort ready for its gala
opening night. The Reverend Clare Fergusson expects to spend the
day getting St. Alban's Church ready for the bishop's annual visit.
Her long-distance suitor from New York expects some answers about
their relationship during his weekend in town.
In Millers Kill, where everyone knows everyone and all are part of
an interconnected web of blood or acquaintance, one person's
troubles have a way of ensnaring others. What begins as a simple
case of a woman lost in the woods leads to a tangle of revenge,
blackmail, assault, kidnapping, and murder. As the hours tick by,
Russ and Clare struggle to make sense of their town's plunge into
chaos---and their own chaotic emotions.
Something terrible waits in the ice-rimed mountains cradling
Millers Kill. Something that won't be content with just one
death---or two. . .
In "To Darkness and To Death," Julia Spencer-Fleming continues her
moving story of the way a small town, as well as a great city, can
harbor evil, and the struggle of two honest people to deal with the
ever-present threat of their feelings for one another.
