Ghosts aren’t meant to stick around forever... Shelly and her grandmother catch ghosts. In their hair. Just like all the women in their family, they can see souls who haven’t transitioned yet; it’s their job to help the ghosts along their journey. When Shelly’s mom dies suddenly, Shelly’s relationship to ghosts—and death—changes. Instead of helping spirits move on, Shelly starts hoarding them. But no matter how many ghost cats, dogs, or people she hides in her room, Shelly can’t ignore the one ghost that’s missing. Why hasn’t her mom’s ghost come home yet? Rooted in a Cree worldview and inspired by stories about the author’s great-grandmother’s life, The Ghost Collector delves into questions of grief and loss, and introduces an exciting new voice in tween fiction that will appeal to fans of Kate DiCamillo’s Louisiana’s Way Home and Patrick Ness’s A Monster Calls.

A family, separated by duty and distance, waits for a loved one to return home in this lyrical picture book celebrating the bonds of a Cherokee family and the bravery of history-making women pilots. At the mountain's base sits a cabin under an old hickory tree. And in that cabin lives a family -- loving, weaving, cooking, and singing. The strength in their song sustains them through trials on the ground and in the sky, as they wait for their loved one, a pilot, to return from war. With an author's note that pays homage to the true history of Native American U.S. service members like WWII pilot Ola Mildred "Millie" Rexroat, this is a story that reveals the roots that ground us, the dreams that help us soar, and the people and traditions that hold us up.

A resource for all who teach and study history, this book illuminates the unmistakable centrality of American Indian history to the full sweep of American history. The nineteen essays gathered in this collaboratively produced volume, written by leading scholars in the field of Native American history, reflect the newest directions of the field and are organized to follow the chronological arc of the standard American history survey. Contributors reassess major events, themes, groups of historical actors, and approaches--social, cultural, military, and political--consistently demonstrating how Native American people, and questions of Native American sovereignty, have animated all the ways we consider the nation's past. The uniqueness of Indigenous history, as interwoven more fully in the American story, will challenge students to think in new ways about larger themes in U.S. history, such as settlement and colonization, economic and political power, citizenship and movements for equality, and the fundamental question of what it means to be an American. Contributors are Chris Andersen, Juliana Barr, David R. M. Beck, Jacob Betz, Paul T. Conrad, Mikal Brotnov Eckstrom, Margaret D. Jacobs, Adam Jortner, Rosalyn R. LaPier, John J. Laukaitis, K.

‘THE INDIAN ROSE’ by Narendra K. Dadlani, is the first complete book that describes the beauty of Indian roses. It is structured to provide a comprehensive account of the evolution of rose breeding in India, including its objectives, choice of parents used, criteria for naming the varieties, their salient features such as size, shape, color and fragrance along with promotion of the varieties. It presents the work of more than seventy eminent rose breeders, spanning over a period of nearly sixty years, and contains descriptions of nearly 1400 Indian-bred rose varieties, as also a separate account of the famous soil-less pot culture of the roses of Bengal. The book is attractively designed and richly illustrated with pictures of more than a hundred fine rose varieties of India. “This is going to be a valuable publication, since for the first time, it will present a comprehensive account of the development of modern roses in India, along with large number of pictures of rose varieties bred in the country.” (Dr. M. S. Swaminathan) “I would like to warmly congratulate the author of this magnificent and colorful publication with special reference to history and evolution of the rose, which will certainly find its way to promote the Indian rose fraternity and passion for the rose around the world.” (Ms. Henrianne de Briey, President, the World Federation of Rose Societies) “This book, I consider as a reward to the Indian breeders, who have been working relentlessly to bring out new strains and varieties, which are no less than their counterparts around the world.” (Mr. Ahmed Alam Khan, President Emeritus, The Indian Rose Federation) “Relentless efforts by Indian breeders have helped enlarge our portfolio of rose varieties to appreciate and enjoy. They perform well all over India and give us much pleasure. I compliment the author for his valuable documentation of the Indian rose wealth.” (Mr. B.H. Singhania, President, The Rose Society of India)
