Sitting Bull
Sitting Bull's name is still the best-known of any American Indian leader, but his life and legacy remain shrouded with misinformation and half-truths His life spanned the entire clash of cultures and ultimate destruction of the Plains Indian way of life. He was a powerful leader and a respected shaman, but neither title fully captures the enigma of Sitting Bull.Drawing on research into rare contemporary records, and Sitting Bull's own 'hieroglyphic autobiography', this absorbing volume traces his life from a headstrong youth (named Jumping Badger) and first contact with White settlers, through his election as spiritual and military leader of the Lakota Sioux, his role in the major victory at the Battle of the Little Bighorn, his subsequent flight to Canada and return as a performer in Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show, to his arrest and untimely death at the hands of the Indian Affairs police on the eve of the Battle of Wounded Knee.The first new biography of Sitting Bull (1831-1890), in over fifteen years, Yenne's work will set a benchmark for all future histories..

"Why Are All The Black Kids Sitting Together in the Cafeteria?": A Psychologist Explains the Development of Racial Identity
Walk into any racially mixed high school and you will see black youth seated together in the cafeteria Of course, it's not just the black kids sitting together-the white, Latino, Asian Pacific, and, in some regions, American Indian youth are clustered in their own groups, too. The same phenomenon can be observed in college dining halls, faculty lounges, and corporate cafeterias. What is going on here? Is this self-segregation a problem we should try to fix, or a coping strategy we should support? How can we get past our reluctance to talk about racial issues to even discuss it? And what about all the other questions we and our children have about race? Beverly Daniel Tatum, a renowned authority on the psychology of racism, asserts that we do not know how to talk about our racial differences: Whites are afraid of using the wrong words and being perceived as "racist" while parents of color are afraid of exposing their children to painful racial realities too soon. Using real-life examples and the latest research, Tatum presents strong evidence that straight talk about our racial identities-whatever they may be-is essential if we are serious about facilitating communication across racial and ethnic divides. We have waited far too long to begin our conversations about race. This remarkable book, infused with great wisdom and humanity, has already helped hundreds of thousands of readers figure out where to start. .

Marilyn Monroe: The Complete Last Sitting
Bert Stern / Marilyn Monroe: The Complete Last Sitting Bert Stern, the famous commercial and fashion photographer of the 60s, was the last to be granted a sitting by Marilyn Monroe six weeks before her tragic death. The three-day session yielded nearly 2,600 pictures—fashion, portrait, and nude studies—of indescribable sensual and human vibrancy, of which no more than 20 were published. And yet these few photographs ineradicably shaped our image of Marilyn Monroe. This book presents the complete set of 2,571 photos. The monumental body of work by the master photographer and the Hollywood actress marks a climax in the history of star photography, both in quantity and quality. It is a unique affirmation of the erotic dimension of photography and the eroticism of taking photos, and it is the world’s finest and largest tribute to Marilyn Monroe. Text by Bert Stern.
