Noah's Ark

BY JERRY PINKNEY
"Pinkney unfurls some of the finest illustrations of his career in this lush, not-to-be-missed version of the perenially popular Bible story. In unfettered, graceful prose, Pinkney relates Noah's faithful work in building the ship and gathering the animals. He enhances the smoothly rendered plot with simple, evocative detail....These crowded but never chaotic scenes, as well as those depicting whales in implicit comparison with the ark, will help children grasp the magnitude of the story's message of faith, stewardship and obedience."-Publisher's Weekly (Ages 5-8)

Nobody Gonna Turn Me 'round

Stories And Songs Of The Civil Rights Movement

BY DOREEN RAPPAPORT, ILLUSTRATED BY SHANE W. EVANS
Author Doreen Rappaport uses true accounts to put readers in the shoes of extraordinary people who risked everything to fight the epidemic of racism during the civil rights era. Moses Wright testified against the white men who stood accused of Till's murder. Nine black teenagers in Little Rock, Arkansas, dared to attend a newly integrated high school. James Lawson trained activists not to fight back, no matter how many insults or billy clubs rained down on them. Throughout ten turbulent years, black southerners filled jails and public places with the songs and the strength passed down to them by their ancestors, who knew too well what it meant to be chained.

Nonkilling Global Political Science

BY GLENN PAIGE
Probably the first book to have the word "nonkilling" in its title. It invites all who study political science throughout the world and other concerned readers to consider seriously the question, "Is a nonkilling society possible?" The book proceeds to offer grounds for taking such a possibility seriously, and explores the implications of such an assumption for political science, for global problem-solving, and for needed new transitional institutions. The author was in the Korean war, were he did kill, and these ideas come from his repentance for that.

Nonviolence - The History Of A Dangerous Idea

BY MARK KURLANSKY
From the prize-winning, "New York Times" bestselling author comes a provocative history that persuasively argues that even the Revolutionary War, the Civil War, and World War II could have been avoided by nonviolent means. Nonviolence is a sweeping yet concise history that moves from ancient Hindu times to present-day conflicts raging in the Middle East and elsewhere. Kurlansky also brings into focus just why nonviolence is a "dangerous" idea, and asks such provocative questions as: Is there such a thing as a "just war"? Could nonviolence have worked against even the most evil regimes in history? Now in paperback.

Those who heard Martin Luther King Jr. speak on "Nonviolence and Racial Justice" at Cape May in 1958 gave him a standing ovation at the end of his remarks. His words, though given at the height of the Civil Rights Movement, call to us today: "Now I cannot say that violence never wins any victories; it occasionally wins victories. Nations often receive their independence through the use of violence. But I can say this, that that is all it does. Violence only achieves temporary victory; but it never can achieve ultimate peace. It creates many more social problems than it solves. And violence ends up defeating itself."

Not By The Sword

How A Cantor And His Family Transformed A Klansman

BY KATHRYN WATTERSON
Watterson tells how a Grand Dragon of the KKK, who was also a major Midwestern link in America's white supremacy movement, renounced his racist and Nazi activities after being befriended by a Jewish cantor and his family. Stories of the African-American, Vietnamese and Jewish communities and their history in Nebraska, as well as an examination of the inner life of one of the nation's terrorists in the white supremacy movement, provide a larger context for this story about hatred and love, courage and transformation, in America today. "Not by the Sword is," according to Cornel West, "one of the most powerful, painful, yet healing stories about our most explosive issue - race."

Notes From An Exhibition

A Novel

BY PATRICK GALE
This British novel is about a family struggling with the death of the gifted, bi polar artist who is the mother of the family. Only the father's staunch Quaker beliefs give them any chance of withstanding her destructive influence and the suspicion that they came second to her art. The reader becomes a detective, piecing together the clues of her life, as artist, lover, mother, wife and patient. The story takes them from today's Penzance to 1960s Toronto to St Ives in the 1970s. What emerges is a story of enduring love, and of a family which weathers tragedy, mental illness and the intolerable strain of living with genius.
