Alan Taylor presents an engaging overview of this new scholarship, showing that American colonization derived from a global expansion of European exploration and commerce that began in the fifteenth century. The English had to share the stage with French, Spanish, Dutch, and Russians, each of whom created alternative Americas. Taylor also focuses on slavery as central to the economy, culture, and political thought of the colonists and on the importance of native peoples to the colonial story.

Its assumed that Native history has no particular relationship to what is conventionally presented as the story of America. Indians had a history, but theirs was short and sad, and it ended a long time ago. Here, leading historian Frederick E. Hoxie has created a bold counter-narrative. Native American history, he argues, is also a story of political activism, its victories hard-won in courts and campaigns rather than on the battlefield. For more than two hundred years, Indian activists have sought to bridge the distance between indigenous cultures and the American republic through legal and political debate. Over time their struggle defined a new language of Indian rights and created a vision of American Indian identity. Hoxie asks readers to think deeply about how a country based on the values of liberty and equality managed to adapt to the complex demands of people who refused to be overrun or ignored.--From publisher description. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1643604 Return of the Indian: A year after he sends his Indian friend, Little Bear, back into the magic cupboard, Omri decides to bring him back only to find that he is close to death and in need of help. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1615429 Sheriff Longmire is searching the Cheyenne Reservation for a site to host his daughters wedding when he sees a woman fall to her death.

This book synthesizes the past 25,000 years of the natural history of this vast region. It explores the extinct animals that lived in the Great Basin during the Ice Age and recounts the rise and fall of the massive Ice Age lakes that existed here. It explains why trees once grew 13 beneath what is now the surface of Lake Tahoe, explores the nearly two dozen Great Basin mountain ranges that once held substantial glaciers, and tells the remarkable story of how pinyon pine came to cover some 17,000,000 acres of the Great Basin in the relatively recent past. These discussions culminate with the impressive history of the prehistoric people of the Great Basin, a history that shows how human societies dealt with nearly 13,000 years of climate change on this often-challenging landscape--Provided by publisher. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1523838 After a mountainside massacre yields a grim message, Painter Crowe, director of Sigma Force, must join with Commander Grayson Pierce and an unlikely ally if he is going to get to the root of a conspiracy that stretches back to a lost prehistoric colony in America. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1710830 When Jake, a teenager, takes his grandfather on a visit to their Hopi tribal homeland in Arizona, he finds himself fighting to save an endangered Mexican wolf. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1215212 Clay Tahoma, Virgin Rivers new veterinary assistant, is welcomed by everyone in town except Lilly Yazhi, who believes that his down-to-earth attitude and rugged sex appeal is an act to charm wealthy women like his ex-wife. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1259547 Appointed an Aboriginal Issues reporter because of his half-Chee heritage, Leo Desroches struggles with a gambling addiction that threatens his family and career while covering the murder of a young native prostitute and triggering a violent chain of events.
