Chicle: The Chewing Gum of the Americas, from the Ancient

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Mathews, Jennifer P. / Schultz, Gillian P., PUBLISHER: University of Arizona Press, Although Juicy FruitA(R) gum was introduced to North Americans in , Native Americans in Mesoamerica were chewing gum thousands of years earlier. And although in the last decade abiographiesa have been devoted to salt, spices, chocolate, coffee, and other staples of modern life, until now there has never been a full history of chewing gum. Chicle is a history in four acts, all of them focused on the sticky white substance that seeps from the sapodilla tree when its bark is cut. First, Jennifer Mathews recounts the story of chicle and its earliest-known adherents, the Maya and Aztecs. Second, with the assistance of botanist Gillian Schultz, Mathews examines the sapodilla tree itself, an extraordinarily hardy plant that is native only to Mesoamerica and the Caribbean. Third, Mathews presents the fascinating story of the chicle and chewing gum industry over the last hundred plus years, a tale (like so many twentieth-century tales) of greed, growth, and collapse. In closing, Mathews considers the plight of the chicleros, the aextractorsa who often work by themselves tapping trees deep in the forests, and how they have emerged as icons of local pop cultureaportrayed as fearless, hard-drinking brawlers, people to be respected as well as feared. Before DentyneA(R) and ChicletsA(R), before bubble gum comic strips and the DoublemintA(R) twins, there was gum, oozing from jungle trees like melting candle wax under the slash of a machete. Chicle tells us everything that happened next. It is a spellbinding story.

The Complete Blokes and Sheds: Now Including Stories from

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Thomson, Mark, PUBLISHER: Angus & Robertson Publishers, "The Complete Blokes and Sheds "goes to the heart of what's sacred to many Australian men. Like the dunny (outside toilet), the footy game (football), and the meat pie with sauce, the shed has acquired an important place in Australian culture and mythology. It stands as a symbol of the Aussie male's integrity and a tes-timony to his ability to fix anything with a length of fencing wire, a hammer and a piece of 2 x 4. In this good-humored and affectionate portrayal, author and photographer Mark Thomson peers into the gloom, past the dartboard, the beer fridge, and the piles of timber offcuts, to discover what really goes on between a bloke and his shed

Fourfront: Contemporary Stories Translated from the Irish

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: O. Conghaile, Micheal / Titley, Alan / Breathnach, Padraic, PUBLISHER: Clo Iar-Chonnachta, Despite the richness of the short story in Irish literature, there remains a relative absence of stories translated from the Irish. This collection of stories aims to help fill this gap. Micheal O Conghaile is one of Ireland's foremost contemporary Irish-language prose writers. His stories are filled with dissidents and rebels, protagonists who find themselves suddenly revealed as "errata" in someone else's master narrative. Padraic Breathnach is probably the most prolific short story writer in Irish, with over 150. The four included here show isolated individuals struggling against inherited authority structures, and they may tell us more than any sociologist about the destiny of community. He is glorious and unmatched in his depiction of decay, the decay of social, cultural, and moral fabrics, of landscape and mind gone to seed. Dara O Conaola's stories share a real generic affinity with that other favored form of Gaelic tradition, the lyric poem. His stories are full of wonder and imagination. Lastly, Alan Titley is probably best known as a novelist. Politically, his stories probably represent a more radical, subversive side, while his language reveals a linguistic virtuosity that verges on the carnivalesque.

Out of Order: Stories from the History of the Supreme Court

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER “I called this book Out of Order because it reflects my goal,which is to share a different side of the Supreme Court. Most people know the Court only as it exists between bangs of the gavel,when the Court comes to order to hear arguments or give opinions. But the stories of the Court and the Justices that come from the ‘out of order’ moments add to the richness of the Court as both a branch of our government and a human institution.”—Justice Sandra Day O’C
