  The legendary Civilian Conservation Corps, a Depression-era agency, hired the poorest of the poor - welfare boys with no jobs, no training or skills, no future, school dropouts, and charged them with saving themselves, their families, and our land, streams, and forests, all on wages of $1.00 a day. And they pulled it off! "Saving Our Sons" tells how it was done in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. 200 pages.

  Twenty-five years after his role in the infamous "Days of Rage" riots in the Chicago loop, Jack Carmichael, a transient, drifter and former member of the Weather Underground launches a startling series of attacks against Michigan's political establishment in the name of society's downtrodden, physically challenged, and abused.
  When a powerful state senator disappears, his wife hires Robert Brooks as her personal representative in the frantic search for her missing husband. The investigation soon leads Brooks into an elaborate labyrinth of grave robbing, body dropping, the unveiling of a defense contractor's top secret helicopter prototype, and the governor's shocking pronouncement of his radical plan to divert Great Lakes water to the west, the first step in his single-minded quest for the office of President of the United States. 325 pages.

  A Finnish Immigrant Son in the Great War, 1918-1919, published by Northern Michigan University Press is a fine work of history. The author has thoroughly grounded the work in careful research, which she documents thoroughly and accurately. She cites both central historical texts, such as Brinkley, Current, Freidel and Williams, Cruttwell, and Hahn as well as the work of Finnish American historians and scholars, including in the renowned Hoglund, Karni, Puotinen, Kolehmainen, Jalkanen, and Kero, to name a few. The text itself performs the important scholarly function of connecting the lived experience of Finnish immigrants, and through extrapolation other immigrants, with the mainstream historical texts that inform our collective understanding of World War I. 184 pages.

  To twelve-year-old Emma, life may be hard, but it is basically good. She has finished sixth grade and is nearly a young lady. But, in the summer of 1913, her life, and the lives of everyone in the region, will be changed forever by a violent strike against the mining companies in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. A friend whose father is not on strike will be forbidden to talk to her. Another will die in the terrible Italian Hall Tragedy on Christmas Eve. Only the trait the Finnish people call "sisu" will help her and others in the region live through it.

It is written from the point of view of a twelve-year-old girl whose father is on strike. The first-person narrative puts the reader on the scene. Historical photographs help the reader see the time and place.. 238 pages.
