Book Description
A Murdering Monster and a Myth Come to Life After a police shootout where she killed a man, criminologist Maggie Tall Bear Sloan retires from the force to enjoy peace and quiet in rural California. When sets of young twins are murdered in her town, the local sheriff recruits her to solve the gruesome killings. But to catch a killer, Maggie either accepts her true nature as a “pukkukwerek” —the shapeshifting monster killer of Yurok legend—or more children will die. As the manhunt intensifies and her own family is threatened, Maggie will do whatever it takes to keep them safe. Whether she’s awake or asleep dreaming, Maggie is faced with a difficult choice: embrace her heritage—even if it means turning into myth itself—or deny that heritage and lose everything.

Book Description
I am in every raven and rainbow you see. We'll see each other again before you know it. It's time for me to sleep now. Goodnight, Mommy. It's time to say goodnight. On July 22, 2018, fifteen-year-old L Grey swallowed a bottle of prescription pain killers, and closed her eyes for the last time. Some would say she took her life, but it could be more aptly said that she took her life back. Vanessa, L's mother, tells the story of her daughter's incredible battle with a painful, chronic condition called Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS), and her unwavering commitment to be a voice for social justice. Told through L's unedited writing and Vanessa's own experiences, "Ravens and Rainbows" leads us to places we don't take ourselves; it gives voice to the LGBTQ+ community, explores the pain of losing a child, the relentlessness of an incurable disease, and the ongoing spiritual relationship of mother and late daughter. Vanessa and L, amidst devastating circumstances, teach us how to triumph spiritually when everything else is lost.

Book Description
Since the 18th century, researchers and scientists have traveled the peninsula of Kamchatka in the Russian Far East. Many of them were of German origin and had been commissioned by the Russian government to perform specific tasks. Their exhaustive descriptions and detailed reports are still considered some of the most valuable documents on the ethnography of the indigenous peoples of that part of the world. These works inform us about living conditions and particular ways of natural resource use at various times, and provide us with valuable background information for current assessment. As the first profound anthropological descriptions of that region, the publications of the Jesup North Pacific Expedition, undertaken in the first years of the 20th century, marked the beginning of a new era of research in Russia. They represented a shift of the already existing transnational research networks toward North America. Jochelson’s work The Koryak was an important milestone for Russian and North American anthropology that provides to this day a unique contribution to thoroughly understanding the cultures of the North Pacific rim.
