U.S. Marines In Vietnam: The War That Would Not End, 1971-1973Charles D Melson; Curtis G Arnold;United States. Marine Corps. History and Museums Division."This is the eighth volume of a projected nine-volume history of Marine Corps operations in the Vietnam War.

From the bestselling author of Kafka on the Shore: A magnificent coming-of-age story steeped in nostalgia, “a masterly novel” (The New York Times Book Review) blending the music, the mood, and the ethos that were the sixties with a young man’s hopeless and heroic first love. Now with a new introduction by the author. Toru, a serious young college student in Tokyo, is devoted to Naoko, a beautiful and introspective young woman, but their mutual passion is marked by the tragic death of their best friend years before. As Naoko retreats further into her own world, Toru finds himself drawn to a fiercely independent and sexually liberated young woman. Stunning and elegiac, Norwegian Wood first propelled Haruki Murakami into the forefront of the literary scene.

If you've ever wondered what would happen if you could meet a ghost, talk to it, or even touch it, this book is for you! Paranormal investigator Chris Taylor really wants to see a ghost. So he invents a remote control that tunes them back into the physical world. Hoping to help stranded spirits, he sells the rights to a TV network, only to see his gadget disrupt both earthly and unearthly society. The tuner's effect on humanity threatens the dimension that houses the afterlife, known as the Realm. Its Directorate sends an emissary, Callahan, to oversee a solution: Chris must persuade people to stop using his invention. The living don't want to give up the tuners - and neither do the dead. Chris enlists help from his friends, Callahan, and a groovy Seventies ghost and begins a clumsy romance with activist Hannah Lively. But when a scientist bent on glory tweaks the tuner and opens a dangerous portal, they're forced to devise a perilous plan to stop her. What follows takes Chris on a journey he never imagined, one that could ultimately cost him everything.

Dennis Banks, an American Indian of the Ojibwa Tribe and a founder of the American Indian Movement, is one of the most influential Indian leaders of our time. In Ojibwa Warrior, written with acclaimed writer and photographer Richard Erdoes, Banks tells his own story for the first time and also traces the rise of the American Indian Movement (AIM). The authors present an insider’s understanding of AIM protest events—the Trail of Broken Treaties march to Washington, D.C.; the resulting takeover of the BIA building; the riot at Custer, South Dakota; and the 1973 standoff at Wounded Knee. Enhancing the narrative are dramatic photographs, most taken by Richard Erdoes, depicting key people and events.
