Sondra Jones traces the metamorphosis of the Ute people from a society of small, interrelated bands of mobile hunter-gatherers to sovereign, dependent nations--modern tribes who run extensive business enterprises and government services. Weaving together the history of all Ute groups--in Colorado, Utah, and New Mexico--the narrative describes their traditional culture, including the many facets that have continued to define them as a people. Jones emphasizes how the Utes adapted over four centuries and details events, conflicts, trade, and social interactions with non-Utes and non-Indians. Being and Becoming Ute examines the effects of boarding--and public--school education; colonial wars and commerce with Hispanic and American settlers; modern world wars and other international conflicts; battles over federally instigated termination, tribal identity, and membership; and the development of economic enterprises and political power. The book also explores the concerns of the modern Ute world, including social and medical issues, transformed religion, and the fight to maintain Ute identity in the twenty-first century.

Neither a portrait of a people frozen in a past time and place nor a tragedy in which vanishing Indians sank into oppressed oblivion, the history of the Ute people is dynamic and evolving. While it includes misfortune, injustice, and struggle, it reveals the adaptability and resilience of an American Indian people.

A visual overview of the history and future of animal photography, Why We Photograph Animals encourages us to think and rethink the way we have looked at--and used--animals and to consider our future relationships with nonhuman species.

Multistranded, this book features the work of more than one hundred photographers supported by thematic essays that provide historical context; interviews with and contributions by leading contemporary photographers that explore their influences, methods, and motivations; and dazzling visual collections that present the very best animal photography from its inception to the present day.

The result is a book that will engage those with an interest in wildlife photography and the natural world, but also those with a concern for the future of the planet. Huw Lewis-Jones's expert authorship and curation celebrates extraordinary images by brilliant photographers, but also allows us to understand why people have photographed animals at different points in history and what it means in the present.

Why We Photograph Animals is deliberately not a conventional history of wildlife photography. It's an exploration of the animal in photography. It speaks to our ongoing desire to look at animals; to understand, misunderstand, and appreciate them; to use and abuse them; to neglect or come to value and protect them.

The iconic anthology series of horror tales that's now a feature film!

In this revealing portrait of keyboardist, lyricist, and vocalist Christine Mcvie of Fleetwood Mac, readers will get an exclusive glimpse of the band's "mother figure".

Christine McVie-born Christine Perfect-was the quintessentially English rock star, as both the backbone and the beating heart of Fleetwood Mac. She wrote and performed many of their greatest hits, and was dubbed 'the mother' of the band. It was Christine who contained the flock, regrouped them when they went AWOL, and always got them back on track. And yet, as the "engine" of the band during their Rumours era-an album which charted the romantic disintegration within the band-Christine's personal life was every bit as tempestuous as those of her bandmates.

Told by an author who herself was friends with Christine, and with new contributions from those who knew her best, Songbird offers a true insider's view and psychological insight into Christine as a both a woman and a musician--the ultimate picture of a rock legend and a national treasure.

From 1933 Sally-Jane Heit went for the brass ring of stardom as she circled the carousel of life. Did she catch it?

Even with all her talent, navigating the script written for a woman of her generation gave her one big headache. With an overbearing mother, a wayward husband, a wild stint in an open marriage, unconventional friendships, and three glorious daughters who didn't get the mother they wanted but made do, her unstoppable dream of stardom moved her from summer stock to Broadway to Hollywood (where if you blinked, you'd miss her)

Her chance meeting with Lily Tomlin inspired her to create her doppelganger, Harriet Ferment, the central character of her one-woman show, which she performed until she was 84. She finally became what she always wanted to be... in control.

Her story. Her way.

In Not Yet!, Sally-Jane dishes on her adventures and exploits on stage and off - a wild mix of epic drama and slapstick comedy. She spills the beans on negotiating family life, discovering she had a g-spot, flirting with fame, global warming of another kind, and dodging death. Buckle up for a wild ride of laughs, love, and a long and adventurous lifetime.

Contrariamente a la idea de que son los padres los que dejan un legado a los hijos, en este libro, es Alex, a través de su historia, el que le otorga una herencia a su madre y a toda la familia: la de la lucha incansable por reconstruirse a sí mismo, lejos de los espacios de las drogas. Dilucidar qué sucedió en esta historia, puede, sin duda, ayudar a otros padres a que conozcan más sobre el mundo de las adicciones, así como darles a conocer los distintos clichés que se han producido en torno a esta enfermedad; para que así, al contar con más herramientas, puedan enfrentar, de la mejor manera, las complejidades de una adicción. El hilo conductor de este libro, es la propia narración de Alex, así como la perspectiva de la familia y los amigos.

A compassionate, practical guidebook for veterans transitioning from active duty to civilian life and for the loved ones supporting their journey.

"Challenging yet reassuring....a key addition to every veteran's packing list ." --Stan McChrystal, General, US Army (Ret) and Co-Founder and CEO, McChrystal Group

Some important statistics:

• There are over 22 million veterans alive today
• Each year, more than 200,000 new veterans transition out of active duty.
• Approximately 22 veterans commit suicide a day, and even more are living with PTSD, traumatic brain injury (TBI), struggling with substance abuse, homelessness, and experience many, many other difficulties.

It's clear that we have not honored the promise we make to veterans: that we as a country will help them after they've served and sacrificed. And while there are many books written by and for veterans, only a small selection of those address the transition to civilian life, and none are a truly complete reference for stepping out of service and back into normal life. Warrior to Civilian covers a range of topics, from the practical--finding a job, reintegrating into family life--to the more challenging topics, like dealing with loss, and finding new purpose in life. This well-curated resource incorporates stories, insights, and observations from veterans and their partners; evidence-based advice from health professionals and experts who work closely with veterans; and inspiration taken from heavyweights like Jon Kabbat-Zinn and Tony Robbins. The authors take care to address the unique challenges faced by veterans of color, and those in the LGBTQ+ communities.

With support from some of our country's most recognizable military members, authors Rob Sarver, a former SEAL, and Alex Gendzier, combine their voices and their experiences in and out of the military in a unique way that will make this resource shine. Scaffolded by the hero's journey, in which the hero experiences a series of transformative events, they reveal that within the loss that many veterans have suffered while serving and suffer in the transition, there is great opportunity for healing.

The Wizard Howl is irresistible, unforgettable, and iconic.

"[Diana Wynne Jones is] the kind of author that you can meet for the first time at 10 years old and fall in love with, and then keep rereading for the rest of your life, always finding new layers." -Vox

This boxed set contains paperback editions of all three beloved books featuring the Wizard Howl:

Howl's Moving Castle (the inspiration for Hayao Miyazaki's Academy Award-nominated animated film), Castle in the Air, andHouse of Many Ways.

In Howl's Moving Castle, Howl, along with the witty, practical Sophie, and the fire demon Calcifer must untangle the twists and turns of magic and curses in order to save everything they hold dear. Sophie, Howl, and Calcifer make cameo appearances in the two subsequent novels, Castle in the Air and House of Many Ways, which both have magical stories of their own set in the world of Howl. With expert storytelling, an effervescent sense of humor, and an abundance of charm, the masterful Diana Wynne Jones weaves together three bewitching stories in which nothing and no one are quite like they seem.

Teaches kindness and respect for people and things. A hilarious, rhyming, read loud book that's perfect for the first or any day of school.

The classroom scissors have had enough!

Sometimes they spill their juice

And it gets all over us,

The kids are not concerned

That our metal parts could rust.

Buy this book for a good laugh, nighttime snuggle, or your favorite teacher.

Somewhere deep within the walk-in pantry at Belching Walrus Elementary lives an array of different foods that live in harmony. There are baskets of fruits and veggies, a cooler filled with chocolate milks and apple juices, and a freezer for ice-creams and yet-to-be-nuked chicken fingers.

One day, the Supplies from the Principal's office show up and insist on sharing the coolness of the cooler. Their ruler is a ruler (pun intended) named Baron von Lineal. The Baron argues that they work harder than anyone in Belching Walrus Elementary while food just sits around. As such, the residents of the pantry have no choice but to open their doors.

Could ancient giant sharks called megalodons still exist in the deep sea? What should you do if stung by a jellyfish? Can we predict lightning strikes and how is climate change affecting hurricanes?

With humor, easy-to-understand language, and fun illustrations, marine scientist Ellen Prager and meteorologist Dave Jones use frequently asked and zany questions about the ocean and atmosphere to combat misinformation and make science engaging and understandable for all. From dangerous marine life, coral reefs, and the deep sea to lightning, hurricanes, weather forecasting, the Sun, and climate change, they reveal what's fact, what's fiction, and how to find science-based answers. This book is perfect for anyone curious about the world around them, educators, science communicators, and even scientists who want to learn about and explain topics outside their expertise.

An eye-opening game-changer of a book that sheds new light on how horses learn, think, perceive, and perform, and explains how to work with the horse's brain instead of against it.

In this illuminating book, brain scientist and horsewoman Janet Jones describes human and equine brains working together. Using plain language, she explores the differences and similarities between equine and human ways of negotiating the world. Mental abilities--like seeing, learning, fearing, trusting, and focusing--are discussed from both human and horse perspectives. Throughout, true stories of horses and handlers attempting to understand each other--sometimes successfully, sometimes not--help to illustrate the principles.

Horsemanship of every kind depends on mutual interaction between equine and human brains. When we understand the function of both, we can learn to communicate with horses on their terms instead of ours. By meeting horses halfway, we achieve many goals.

• We improve performance.
• We save valuable training time.
• We develop much deeper bonds with our horses.
• We handle them with insight and kindness instead of force or command.
• We comprehend their misbehavior in ways that allow solutions.
• We reduce the human mistakes we often make while working with them.

Instead of working against the horse's brain, expecting him to function in unnatural and counterproductive ways, this book provides the information needed to ride with the horse's brain. Each principle is applied to real everyday issues in the arena or on the trail, often illustrated with true stories from the author's horse training experience. Horse Brain, Human Brain offers revolutionary ideas that should be considered by anyone who works with horses.

From the beloved Today show host Sheinelle Jones comes an inspiring collection of heartfelt life-lessons from hard working moms who raised some of our favorite celebrities.

When Sheinelle Jones launched "Through Mom's Eyes," a recurring Today show segment interviewing celebrities' mothers about raising successful kids, she had an ulterior motive--she wanted to bring all their wisdom to bear on raising her own three children. So she asked Lin-Manuel Miranda's mom about staying present with kids while balancing a demanding career, talked with Lady Gaga's mom about how to recognize bullying, and got tips from Steph Curry's mom on making sure even future NBA royalty does his chores. She has since interviewed dozens of remarkable women and gathered a candid, warm, and insightful collection of valuable lessons about life, love, and parenthood.

Now in her first book, Through Mom's Eyes, Sheinelle is ready to share even more of those life-changing secrets with the world. Combining insights from celebrity mothers with her own journey through modern parenting, Sheinelle reveals how to make it through the hard parts of motherhood and still tap into the joys of it with empathy, generosity, and solidarity. Through Mom's Eyes is a beautiful celebration of those who are the guiding light for their loved ones--mothers.

A smart, incisive look at the technologies sold as artificial intelligence, the drawbacks and pitfalls of technology sold under this banner, and why it's crucial to recognize the many ways in which AI hype covers for a small set of power-hungry actors at work and in the world.

Is artificial intelligence going to take over the world? Have big tech scientists created an artificial lifeform that can think on its own? Is it going to put authors, artists, and others out of business? Are we about to enter an age where computers are better than humans at everything?

The answer to these questions, linguist Emily M. Bender and sociologist Alex Hanna make clear, is "no," "they wish," "LOL," and "definitely not." This kind of thinking is a symptom of a phenomenon known as "AI hype." Hype looks and smells fishy: It twists words and helps the rich get richer by justifying data theft, motivating surveillance capitalism, and devaluing human creativity in order to replace meaningful work with jobs that treat people like machines. In The AI Con, Bender and Hanna offer a sharp, witty, and wide-ranging take-down of AI hype across its many forms.

Bender and Hanna show you how to spot AI hype, how to deconstruct it, and how to expose the power grabs it aims to hide. Armed with these tools, you will be prepared to push back against AI hype at work, as a consumer in the marketplace, as a skeptical newsreader, and as a citizen holding policymakers to account. Together, Bender and Hanna expose AI hype for what it is: a mask for Big Tech's drive for profit, with little concern for who it affects.

Skydiving Duke and his Parachute is a children's book based on a true story. The book starts out with cartoon illustrations and later comes alive with real-life pictures. K9 Duke was originally part of a family with small children, but the environment was not a good fit. Duke was placed up for adoption. Duke was very sad and lonely. He began to dream of flying and being free. Duke talked to the birds, the bees, the butterflies, and the hawks. They all laughed and teased him, saying that he would never fly. Later on, Duke was adopted by Officer A.C. who would make all of his dreams become a reality. Together, they proved to the world that anything is possible. If you can dream it, you can do it, so dream big! K9 Duke has skydived out of an airplane from 14,500 feet, on four different occasions. K9 Duke is a 95-pound, full-blooded Doberman Pinscher. He was born in August 2015, in the country of Hungary. Skydiving Duke has been nationally recognized on TV and was even featured in the December 2018 issue of People magazine. I hope your children enjoy reading Skydiving Duke and his Parachute, as much as I enjoyed writing it. For more fun, you can watch Duke skydive on YouTube! Alex Coker

M is for Mindful is the perfect gift for a child you care about.

Praise for M is for Mindful:

"This is the kind of book I want on my shelf, and when I have grandchildren I will read it to them daily--for them and me too." --Andie MacDowell, Golden Globe-winning actress

"Beautiful illustrations and wise compassionate messages. M is for Mindful is one of those books both you and your children will fondly remember long after they are grown." --Sharon Salzberg, New York Times best-selling author of Real Love

"Here is a quiet training that will serve every child and caregiver. Simple, deep, and beautiful." --Jeff Warren, award-winning co-author of Meditation for Fidgety Skeptics: A 10% Happier How-to Book

Are you an authentic leader? Too many companies are managed not by leaders but by mere role players and faceless bureaucrats. What would it take to replace these empty suits with real leaders--men and women who are confident in who they are and what they stand for and who truly inspire people to achieve extraordinary results? Rob Goffee and Gareth Jones argue that leaders don't become great by aspiring to a list of universal character traits. Rather, effective leaders are authentic: they deploy individual strengths to engage followers' hearts, minds, and souls. Authentic leaders are skillful at consistently being themselves, even as they alter their behavior to respond effectively to changing contexts. In short, the authors present a powerful case: that it takes "being yourself, in context, with skill" to be a successful, authentic leader--and they show you how to do exactly that. In this lively and practical book, Goffee and Jones draw from extensive research to reveal how to hone and deploy your unique leadership assets while managing the inherent tensions at the heart of successful leadership: when to show emotion and when to withhold it, how to get close to followers while maintaining an appropriate role distance, and maintaining your individuality while "conforming enough" to gain traction and lead change. Underscoring the inherently social nature of leadership, the book also explores how leaders can stay attuned to the needs and expectations of followers. Why Should Anyone Be Led by You? will forever change how we view, develop, and practice the art of leadership, wherever we live and work.
