Lies My Teacher Told Me is one of the most important and successful
American history books of our time. Now Rebecca Stefoff turns
Loewen's beloved work into Lies My Teacher Told Me for Young
Readers. Beginning with pre-Columbian American history and then
covering characters and events as diverse as Helen Keller, the
first Thanksgiving, the My Lai massacre, 9/11, and the Iraq War,
Loewen's lively, provocative telling of American history is a
'counter-textbook that retells the story of the American past' (The
Nation). Readers will welcome and value its honesty, its humour,
and its integrity.
The Third Chimpanzee was first published in 1991 and has been in
print ever since. This new, illustrated edition is aimed at a young
readership. In it, Jared Diamond explores what makes us human and
poses fascinating questions. If we share more than 98% of our DNA
with chimpanzees, how is it that we can write, read, talk, build
telescopes and bombs, while we put our speechless and bomb-less
close relatives in cages and zoos? What can woodpeckers teach us
about spacecraft? Is genocide a human invention? Why does
extinction matter? Why are we destroying the natural resources on
which we depend for survival? What hope is there for future
generations? Not only is The Third Chimpanzee a mind-boggling
survey of how we came to be, but it is also a plea to the next
generation to "make better decisions than their parents and get us
out of the mess we're in."

A longtime professor of Ethnic Studies at the University of
California at Berkeley, Ronald Takaki was recognized as one of the
foremost scholars of American ethnic history and diversity. When
the first edition of "A" "Different Mirror "was published in 1993,
"Publishers Weekly "called it "a brilliant revisionist history of
America that is likely to become a classic of multicultural
studies" and named it one of the ten best books of the year. Now
Rebecca Stefoff, who adapted Howard Zinn's best-selling "A People's
History of the United States "for younger readers, turns the
updated 2008 edition of Takaki's multicultural masterwork into "A
Different Mirror for" "Young People."
Drawing on Takaki's vast array of primary sources, and staying true
to his own words whenever possible, "A" "Different Mirror for Young
People "brings ethnic history alive through the words of people,
including teenagers, who recorded their experiences in letters,
diaries, and poems. Like Zinn's "A People's History," Takaki's "A"
"Different Mirror "offers a rich and rewarding "people's view"
perspective on the American story.
