The Many Faces of Art Forgery

From the Dark Side to Shades of Gray

By William Casement

Territorial Rights: World

“Provides a truly panoptic yet readable insight into the multi-faceted ‘discipline’ of art forgery, through the eyes, and with the anecdotal colour, of a seasoned and experienced art professional.” —Claude Piening, senior international specialist, 19th Century European Paintings, Sotheby’s Forgery is a provocative presence in the art world that captures attention in the press and inspires books about the exploits of famous fraudsters as well as scholarly articles and monographs. But missing until now has been a bigpicture look at the phenomenon of art forgery. The Many Faces of Art Forgery provides a unique treatment that features historical highlights, philosophical insights, psychological profiles, economic theories, and legal statutes and cases.

William Casement is a philosopher, writer, and former art dealer and gallery owner.

The Memoirs of Alice Guy Blaché Updated Edition

Edited by Anthony Slide

Territorial Rights: World

Alice Guy Blaché (1873-1968) is a unique pioneer of the motion picture, being not only a female filmmaker but also one of the first, if not the first, to make a narrative film.

Her career spanned from 1894, when she became secretary to the legendary Léon Gaumont, through 1920, working in both her native France and the United States. In all, she was responsible for approximately 1,000 films, possibly more than any other director or producer.

The Memoirs of Alice Guy Blaché was first published in 1976, and to a large extent led to her rediscovery after decades of relative obscurity. Guy Blaché writes of her beginnings in the motion picture industry, her direction not only of silent films but also some of the earliest synchronized sound motion pictures, her marriage and journey to the United States, the founding of her own studio in New Jersey, her fame, and the sad journey into obscurity in the 1920s.

Her story reveals both the opportunities and the ultimate rejection facing a woman director in the early years of the twentieth century.

Stormy Passage Mexico from Colony to Republic, 1750-1850

By Eric Van Young

Territorial Rights: World

This book explains the development of a regional agrarian system, centered on the rural estate (hacienda), in late colonial Mexico, in the area of Guadalajara. It describes the features of the rural economy—patterns of land ownership, credit and investment, labor relations, the structure of production, the relationship of a major colonial city to its surrounding area, and so forth. The thesis is that the population growth of Guadalajara progressively integrated the large geographical region surrounding the city through the mechanisms of the urban market for grain and meat, and that this in turn put pressure on local land and labor resources. Eventually this drove white and Indian landowners into increasingly sharp conflict with each other and led to the progressive proletarianization of the region’s peasantry during the last decades of the Spanish colonial era. It is no accident, given this history, that the Guadalajara region was one of the major areas of armed conflict for most of the decade during the Mexican struggle for independence from Spain (1810-1821).

“Karen Green offers here a fascinating reconstruction of the interaction between two remarkable French women in the early fifteenth century that offers many insights in the interactions between literature, politics, and religion in a turbulent period.” —Constant J. Mews, Monash University, Australia

Grounded in a close reading of the records of Joan’s trial and rehabilitation, on the early letters announcing her arrival at Chinon, and on three literary works; Christine de Pizan’s Ditié, Martin le Franc’s Le Champion des dames, and Alain Chartier’s, Traité de l’Esperance, this controversial work argues that serious historians should accept that Joan was trained.

This study examines the work of Matthew Spinka and Howard Kaminsky on medieval Hussites. The author analyzes their numerous contributions to our understandings of religious and social movements in late medieval Europe.

A Rhetoric of Ruins

Exploring Landscapes of Abandoned Modernity

Revolution of the Modern Sports Fan

By Andrew F. Wood

Edited by Kenon A. Brown, Andrew C. Billings and Melvin Lewis

Territorial Rights World

Territorial Rights World

A Rhetoric of Ruins contributes to an interdisciplinary conversation about the role of wrecked and abandoned places in modern life. Topics in this book stretch from retro- and post-human futures to a Jeremiadic analysis of the role of ruins in American presidential discourse. From that foundation, A Rhetoric of Ruins employs hauntology to visit a California ghost-town, psychogeography to confront Detroit ruins, heterochrony to survey Pennsylvania’s once (and future) Graffiti Highway, an expanded articulation of heterotopia to explore the pleasurable contamination of Chernobyl, and an evening in Turkmenistan’s Doorway to Hell that stretches across time from Homer’s Iliad to Little Richard’s “Long Tall Sally”.

From the advent of social media to the rise of fantasy sport to the increased media platforms in which to consume sport, the sports fan has never had more options for consumption—and for the rendering of one’s opinions. As such, Revolution of the Modern Sports Fan offers an opportunity to advance what we now know about American sports fandom.

Critical Essays on English and Bengali Detective Fiction

Incarceration and Slavery in the Middle Ages and the Early Modern Age

Territorial Rights World

Edited by Albrecht Classen

Edited by Debayan Deb Barman, Foreword by Phil Fitzsimmons

Critical Essays on English and Bengali Detective Fiction brings together three strains of detective fiction: British, American, and Bengal. In this anthology of critical essays by scholars on detective fiction, we have divided the contents into three groups. First, there are essays on classic British detective fiction. The second section is on American hard-boiled fiction. The third section is on Bengali detective fiction. Together, these essays bring three strains of detective fiction into conversation to show the gradual postcolonial attempt of Bengali detective fiction to outgrow colonial influences and create an original and organic tradition of regional and vernacular detective fiction.

Sympathy for the Drummer

Why Charlie Watts Matters

By Mike Edison

Territorial Rights: World

Across five decades, Rolling Stones drummer Charlie Watts has had the best seat in the house. Charlie Watts, the antirock star—an urbane jazz fan with a dry wit and little taste for the limelight—was witness to the most savage years in rock history, and emerged a hero, a warrior poet. With his easy swing and often loping, uneven fills, he found nuance in a music that often had little room for it, and along with his greatest ally, Keith Richards, he gave the Stones their swaggering beat. While others battled their drums, Charlie played his modest kit with finesse and humility, and yet his relentless grooves on the nastiest hard-rock numbers of the era (“Gimme Shelter,” “Street Fighting Man,” “Brown Sugar,” “Jumpin’ Jack Flash,” etc.) delivered a dangerous authenticity to a band that on their best nights should have been put in jail.

Highly opinionated, fearless, and often hilarious, Sympathy for the Drummer is an unexpected treat for music fans and pop culture mavens, as edgy and ribald as the Rolling Stones at their finest, never losing sight of the sex and magic that puts the roll in the rock and the man who drove the band, their true engine, the utterly irreplaceable Charlie Watts.

Mike Edison is the former editor and publisher of High Times magazine. Edison is also a noted musician who spent much of the 1980s and ‘90s seeing the world from behind a drum set, opening for bands as diverse as Sonic Youth, Sound Garden, and the Ramones.

33 1/3 Revolutions Per Minute A Critical Trip Through the Rock LP Era (1955-1999)

By Mike Segretto

Territorial Rights: World

33 1/3 Revolutions per Minute: A Critical Trip Though the Rock LP Era, 1955–1999 is a history of the rock LP era told though critiques of a very personal selection of nearly 700 albums.

It follows rock and roll from its earliest days in the 1950s to the explosion of the British Invasion, soul, folk rock, and psychedelia in the 1960s, on through the classic rock and punk albums of the 1970s, new wave classics of the 1980s, and alternative rock discs of the 1990s. Through reviews of albums universally regarded as classics (Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band, Purple Rain, Nevermind, and many of the other usual suspects) and far more obscure discs (albums

by Johnny “Guitar” Watson, P. P. Arnold, the Dentists, Holly Golightly, etc.), Mike Segretto shows how the rock and roll album went from a vehicle for singles and filler aimed at kids with an excess of pocket money in the 1950s to a legitimate, self-contained art form by 1967, to the only rock and roll medium that mattered in the 1970s, ‘80s, and ‘90s.

The Paths of Zatoichi The Global Influence of the Blind Swordsman

By Jonathan Wroot

Territorial Rights: World

“The blind swordsman is one of the most iconic and significant tropes in global popular cinema, and this new volume is the most comprehensive account to date of the transnational influence of Zatoichi on these representations.

Jonathan Wroot’s book expertly charts the impact of the character within US genre films like Blind Fury (1989), across the exploitation cycles of blind swordsman films produced in Taiwan and Indonesia, and even demonstrates the continued memetic influence of the character in blockbuster franchises like Daredevil (2015-) and Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (2016). Highly recommended.” —Iain Smith, King’s College London The Paths of Zatoichi charts the history and influence of the Japanese film and television franchise about Zatoichi the blind swordsman. The franchise is comprised of 29 films and 100 TV episodes (starring the famous Shintaro Katsu, who starred in 26 of the 29 feature films). They all follow the adventures of a blind masseur in medieval Japan, who wanders from village to village and often has to defend himself with his deadly sword skills.

“Richardson-Self is at the forefront of an emergent counterimaginary movement that speaks back to spiteful power with force and dignity.” —Moira Gatens, Challis Professor of Philosophy, University of Sydney Why are women so frequently targeted with hate speech online and what can we do about it? Psychological explanations for the problem of woman-hating overlook important features of our social world that encourage latent feelings of hostility toward women, even despite our consciously-held ideals of equality. Louise RichardsonSelf investigates the woman-hostile norms of the Englishspeaking internet, the ‘rules’ of engagement in these social spaces, and the narratives we tell ourselves about who gets to inhabit such spaces. It examines the dominant imaginings (images, impressions, stereotypes, and ideas) of women that are shared in acts of hate speech, highlighting their ‘emotional stickiness’.

Tyranny from Plato to Trump

Fools, Sycophants, and Citizens

By Andrew Fiala

The bad news is that there have always been morons, sycophants, and tyrants.

The good news is that once we know this, we can prepare a response. This book clarifies exactly what it means to be a tyrant, a moron, and a sycophant, and what these moral failures are common. At times, each of us can be tyrannical, moronic, and sycophantic. That is why we need reason and virtue, as well as a political system that restrains our worst inclinations.

This book brings historical insight to bear on current affairs, the arc of the Trump phenomenon, and uses the contemporary moment to illuminate universal themes of human society.

Deliberately Divided Inside the Controversial Study of Twins and Triplets Adopted Apart

Love as Common Ground Essays on Love in Religion Edited by Paul S. Fiddes Territorial Rights World This book explores the way in which the study and practice of love creates a common ground for different faiths and different traditions within the same faith.

Such a space, the contributors believe, is possible because it is the place of encounter with the divine. This book is the fruit of a Project for the Study of Love in Religion which aims to create this space in which different traditions of love converge, from Islam, Judaism, and the Christianity of both East and West.

Paul Tillich and Religious Socialism Towards a Kingdom of Peace and Justice

The Stolen Narrative of the Bulgarian Jews and the Holocaust

By Kirk R. MacGregor

By Jacky Comforty, With Martha Aladjem Bloomfield, Foreword by Omer Bartov

Territorial Rights World

Territorial Rights World

Paul Tillich and Religious Socialism: Towards a Kingdom of Peace and Justice argues that the Kingdom of God—the reign of God over all human affairs via God’s manifestations in love, power, and justice—can be fragmentarily achieved through a religious socialism that creatively integrates the early Tillich’s socialist thinking with later insights throughout Tillich’s theological career and with contemporary developments in just peacemaking. The resulting religious socialism is defined by economic justice and a recognition of the sacred reality in all human endeavors.

“The book tells a story on the Shoah in the Balkans which is much more complex than the established varieties: a story of deportation and annihilation, but also one of solidarity and rescue.” —Stefan Troebst, Leipzig University, Germany

Changing Meat Cultures Food Practices, Global Capitalism and the Consumption of Animals Edited by Arve Hansen and Karen Lykke Syse

Final Cover to Follow

Territorial Rights: World

This collection explains changing meat cultures through studies of both everyday food practices and the political economy of industrialized animal husbandry. We do this through case studies from ‘affluent’ and ‘developing’ countries. These contributions will shed light on global food connections and show how global, industrialized food and fodder systems have changed the way we relate to animals, their meat, and what kind of animals’ meat we eat. In the past few years, controversies around meat have arisen around industrialization and globalization of meat production, often pivoting around health, environmental problems, and animal welfare issues. Although meat increasingly figures as a problem, most consumers’ knowledge of animal husbandry and meat is more absent than ever.

Disinformation

The Nature of Facts and Lies in the Post-Truth Era

By Donald A. Barclay

Territorial Rights: World

Does the idea of a world in which facts mean nothing cause anxiety? Fear? Maybe even paranoia? Disinformation:The Nature of Facts and Lies in the Post-Truth Era cannot cure all the ills of a post-truth world, but by demonstrating how the emergence of digital technology into everyday life has knitted together a number of seemingly loosely related forces–historical, psychological, economic, and culture–to create the post-truth culture, Disinformation will help you better understand how we got to where we now are, see how we can move beyond a culture in which facts are too easily dismissed, and develop a few highly practical skills for separating truth from lies.

Breathtaking

How One Family Cycled Around the World for Clean Air and Asthma

By Paula Holmes-Eber Ph.D

Territorial Rights: World

Breathtaking is the exciting, hilarious and inspiring true story of their adventures. Readers follow the Ebers as they raise their daughters around the world, teaching them to cherish and respect our environment and other cultures. School is conducted outdoors on mountaintops and in historic castles. Dinnertime consists of strange international foods cooked on a simple backcountry stove in a meadow. And the responsibilities of parenting have been expanded to include hunting for an English copy of the latest Harry Potter book and holding a memorial service for one of Yvonne’s most treasured (and only) possessions: a Polish bunny thermos. But the journey is also a test of the family’s strength and endurance. As the family pedals further and further away from home, they struggle to work together through increasing hardships. They face a 100 degree heat wave in Italy, drug smugglers in Russia, a snowstorm at the Great Wall in China, and even the bite of a poisonous molokau in Tonga. To succeed, they realize that the greatest challenge they must face is not the journey without, but the one they must undergo within themselves.

The Dealer How One California Dealership Fueled the Rise of Ferrari in America

By Jim Ciardella

Territorial Rights: World

When Ferrari of Los Gatos opened, few people could afford an expensive sports car. In 1976, the average annual income was $12,686, and a new home cost about $48,000. Motorists in California could only buy gas on odd or even-numbered days based on the last digit of their license plate, due to the global oil crisis. Times were tough, and people were hesitant to take chances, especially with a car that cost more than a house.

At the same time, Richard Rivoir approached his friend, Brian Burnett, with the idea of starting a Ferrari dealership.

The Dealer is the story of how one dealership, Ferrari of Los Gatos, fueled the rise of the iconic Italian sports car in the U.S. market on its way to becoming the number one Ferrari dealer in North America. Even Enzo Ferrari himself took notice, flying Brian to Italy to learn more about the dealers’ unique and unusual sales practices. Customers included movie stars, sports celebrities, entertainers, and some with unusual sources of income and a strong desire for a low profile. Along the way, the two men made friends, enemies, and millions of dollars, only to lose everything in the blink of an eye.

Jim Ciardella is a storyteller, Ferrari enthusiast, and native Californian.

Before Billy the Kid The Boy Behind the Legendary Outlaw

By Melody Groves

Territorial Rights World

Many stories have been written about the exploits of Billy the Kid, the charismatic outlaw of the Old West.

Some have been pure fiction, designed to entertain and excite. Purple prose writers began chronicling the exploits of Billy as early as the late 1870s. Others have been biographical, researched by historians or recorded by those who knew him, including his murderer, Sheriff Pat Garrett.

But there was once a different side to the famous gunfighter, a softer more artistic side that seems at odds with Billy’s reputation for shooting, killing, and robbing. Born Henry McCarty, he was also known by the names Henry Antrim, Kid Antrim, and William H. Bonney. He didn’t shoot twenty-one men, as has been claimed. Four is a more likely number, three in selfdefense. In Before Billy the Kid, author Melody Groves explores the early life of the infamous outlaw, the teenage boy who loved to sing and dance. The young man who was polite, educated, and popular. A boy who had the bad luck to be orphaned at fifteen and left with no one to guide him through life. How different history might have been if Billy had pursued his love of music instead of a life of crim New Mexico native Melody Groves loves anything Western.

The Cutler Family Chronicles

How Dark the Night continues the seafaring adventures of the Cutler family by picking up the action where the fourth volume, A Call to Arms, ends in 1805. The years leading up to the War of 1812 were devastating ones for the young republic. The life-and-death struggle between Great Britain and France caught the United States in a web of financial and political chaos as President Jefferson and Secretary of State Madison labored to keep the unprepared United States out of the conflict without compromising the nation’s honor.

Wild Salvation A Novel

By Alfred Stifsim

Territorial Rights: World

Johnson is accused of assaulting a white woman, a deadly charge for a black man in 1875. Knowing he’ll be lynched if he stays in St. Andrews, Indiana, Johnson flees to the grassy plains of Kansas looking for the freedom unavailable to him back East. What Johnson doesn’t know is that the woman’s father is a powerful businessman determined to track him down. For a man on the run, the West seems like the perfect place for someone withdrawn like Johnson to become a new person, until a top Pinkerton agent named Cole Charles comes into town hunting outlaws.

When Cole Charles comes to town and discovers he is a wanted man, Johnson has no choice but to flee. Johnson escapes to Fort Worth, Texas, and meets a rowdy woman named Eddie who is quick with a joke and even quicker with her pistol. Despite his lack of experience, Eddie hires Johnson to be a wrangler on a cattle drive made up of other black cowboys headed to Wyoming. With Cole Charles on his trail, the cattle drive will take Johnson further than he ever imagined and force him to confront his greatest fear when he comes face to face with Cole Charles himself.

Meat Me Halfway

How Changing the Way We Eat Can Improve Our Lives and Save Our Planet

By Brian Kateman, foreword by Bill McKibben Territorial Rights: World

“Meat Me Halfway is refreshingly pragmatic, a timely reminder that the perfect is the enemy of the good.

Persuasive and optimistic, Kateman’s book offers a roadmap for a healthier and more sustainable and compassionate world.” — Steven Pinker, Johnstone Professor of Psychology, Harvard University In Meat Me Halfway, author and founder of the reducetarian movement Brian Kateman puts forth a realistic and balanced goal: mindfully reduce your meat consumption.

It might seem strange for a leader of the plant-based movement to say, but meat is here to stay. The question is not how to ween society off meat, but how to make meat more healthy, more humane, and more sustainable.

Brian Kateman coined the term “reducetarian” in 2014 to describe a person who is deliberately reducing their consumption of meat. Since then he gave a celebrated TEDx Talk (with nearly 1,000,000 views) on the reducetarian concept that has been praised by thought leaders.

Riders in the Storm The Triumphs and Tragedies of a Black Cavalry Regiment in the Civil War

By John D. Warner Jr. Final Cover to Follow

Territorial Rights: World

In the spring of 1864, the regiment journeyed south and fought in Grant’s siege of Petersburg, where it joined attacks that nearly took the city in June. The 5th was then abruptly sent to Maryland to guard Confederate prisoners of war, until Col. Charles Francis Adams advocated for, and was granted, a return to combat duty. As part of the mostly Black XXV Corps, the cavalrymen found themselves at the vanguard of the Union army as it captured Richmond.

In the spirit of the book One Gallant Rush and the movie Glory, Riders in the Storm covers—uncovers and indeed recovers—the story of the African-American cavalrymen of the 5th Massachusetts. Author John Warner has literal fingertip command of the primary sources, and after spending two decades researching letters, diaries, reports, newspapers, and more, he tells a story of resilience in the face of adversity, one that will resonate not just during the present moment of reckoning with race in the United States, but in the annals of American history for all time.

To Reach the Nation’s Ear A History of African American Public Speaking

By Richard W. Leeman

Territorial Rights: World

Throughout much of American history, African Americans have been denied easy access to most of the traditional modes of effective reform, such as newspapers, legislative assemblies, unions and political parties. Public speaking has thus been one of the most critically important means by which leaders and individuals have reached an audience, enacted or prevented change, and created community.

Dating from the earliest days of American history, the African American community has produced many notable and eloquent speakers and has demonstrated a vibrant oral tradition. The proposed volume will follow a chronological organization, tracing the history of African American public speaking from colonial times to the present.

Richard W. Leeman is professor of Communication Studies at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. He is the author of several books, including The Teleological Discourse of Barack Obama (Lexington) , and the editor/ author of several more, including African-American Orators: A BioCritical Sourcebook and The Will of A People: A Critical Anthology of Great African American Speeches.

Modern Conspiracies in America Separating Fact from Fiction

By Michael D. Gambone Territorial Rights World America is awash with alleged conspiracies.

It seems like today, no one with a cell phone escapes the vortex of skepticism, cynicism, paranoia, and fear that occupy our thoughts almost constantly.

Gambone provides case studies of popular conspiracy theories in America from the past 100 years, from Protocol of the Elders of Zion to #stopthesteal.

The Disaster of the Texas Mier Expedition

The First Counterspy

By Ken Lizzio

Larry Haas, Bell Aircraft, and the FBI’s Attempt to Capture a Soviet Mole

Territorial Rights World

By Kay Haas and Walter W. Pickut

Drawing from over a dozen first-hand accounts, the author extracts this exciting narrative recounting in compelling detail the pathos of these fighting men--from the blood-soaked Battlefields of Mier and the subsequent surrender to their harrowing 1,300-mile forced march to Perote Prison.

It was a march of attrition during which many Texans were executed or died from exposure, disease, or starvation. Once in Perote, they were forced to sleep on stone floors in chains and put to hard labor. Of the original three-hundred-and-eight members of the rogue expedition who survived, only half eventually left the prison alive. After two years in captivity, the prisoners were finally released only to be ignored and forgotten by their own countrymen upon their return home.

The First Counterspy is the pulse-quickening and traumatic story of spy, counterspy, and an American family unwittingly caught in its web. Until this case, the FBI had never recruited civilian counterspies to catch a Soviet agent. The first two were Larry Haas, a leading aviation engineer at Bell Aviation, and Leona Franey, head librarian at Bell’s technical library. The FBI pitted them against a Soviet agent, Andrei Ivanovich Schevchenko, operating legally as one of the highest Soviet officials in the United States during WWII, and illegally as the secret head of a wide-ranging spy network hidden within the American aviation industry.

The Tenacious Nurse Nichols An Unsung Civil War Hero

By Eileen Yanoviak Territorial Rights World There is only one known image of Lucy Higgs Nichols, a Civil War nurse who escaped slavery. In this captivating photograph dated to 1898, the elderly Lucy is the sole female and the only person of color. She stands stately in the middle of a large group of war veterans at a reunion that she diligently attended every year. Some of these soldiers were from the Indiana 23rd Regiment, the men who fiercely advocated for her Civil War nurse’s pension in the 1890s. Her story is remarkable—a journey from enslavement in Tennessee, to freedom and service among the ranks of the Union Army, and finally to independence and national recognition from the press, the Grand Army of the Republic, and even Congress.

Eileen Yanoviak has been appointed as the new Director of the Carnegie Center for Art and History.

Who Let Them In? Pathbreaking Women in Sports Journalism

By Joanne Lannin

Territorial Rights: World

Women in sports journalism have faced an uphill battle to succeed within the “old boy” world of sports. The early trailblazers faced colleagues who ignored them, athletes who tried to humiliate them, fans who ridiculed them, and executives who kept them from doing their jobs—challenges many still face today.

In Who Let Them In?: Pathbreaking Women in Sports Journalism, Joanne Lannin recounts the stories of the tenacious and resilient female sportscasters and writers who paved the way for those that followed. Exclusive interviews with such pioneers as CBS Sports’ Lesley Visser, NFL Today’s Andrea Kremer, and Baseball Hall of Fame inductee Claire Smith reveal the many challenges these women faced as they sought to break down the gender-based barriers that kept them from press boxes, locker rooms, and broadcast booths. And while great strides have been made in the sports world to correct the gender imbalance, Lannin discusses how misogyny and sexual harassment continues to permeate the industry even today.

Classic writing remains “classic” only insofar as people want to read it. Angling historians may study the evolution of tackle or tying techniques, or perhaps the methods of fishing used hundreds of years ago, but the wonderful stories about fishing are read and reread only because they give pleasure today; because they give us insights into why we fish and the nature of our passion; and because they are well written. This book offers more than twenty of the best classic fishing stories that have stood the inescapable test of time.

At age 16 Chris Kopczynski carved the words “Everest/Eiger” into the handle of his ice axe, marking his goal to climb the two mountains known as the “highest and the hardest.” He accomplished that goal by the age of 33, becoming the ninth American to summit Everest and the first American to summit both the North Face of the Eiger and Mt.

Law enforcement stated noticing the larger-than-normal surge in gangland killings, and by 1978, federal authorities were involved in the investigations. The FBI compiled a list of 25 gangland figures killed with a .22 between 1975 and 1978, all from the same batch of guns purchased in Florida, some even the same weapon. But they had suspects. They were members of a violent street gang operating out of one of the oldest gangland neighborhoods in the country.

Daley, the legendary Mayor of the City of Chicago. He was one of the longest-serving, most prominent mayors in American history and the last of the bigcity “bosses”.

Lance Williams is an internationally recognized gang expert and interventionist.

Snake Eyes

Murder in A Southern Town

By Bitty Martin Territorial Rights World By 1966, Hot Springs, Arkansas wasn’t your typical sleepy little Southern town. Once a favorite destination for mobsters like Al Capone and Lucky Luciano, illegal activities continued to lure out-of-state gamblers, flimflam men, and high rollers to its racetracks, clubs, and bordellos. Still, the town was shaken to its core after a girl was found dead on a nearby ranch. The ranch owner claimed it was an accident. Then the rancher was found to be the killer of another woman – his fourth wife.

Snake Eyes is the first book to examine this decades-old murder and cover-up, and the only in-depth account of the man who would become the town’s most notorious villain.

Bitty Martin earned two college degrees, one in marketing from Henderson State University in Arkadelphia, Arkansas and the other in nursing from the University of Arkansas Little Rock.
