9781611137156, $35.00, www.amazon.com
The Witches: Salem, 1692 takes the relatively well-known events of the Salem witchcraft trials
and brings them to life in a story about a crisis that changes a town when a minister's niece seems
possessed. In the year that followed, a resident's safety lie in joining the furor over witches in the
community, and nobody - no family member, no neighbor - was free of suspicion. A year later
nearly twenty men and women had been hanged, and adolescent girls gained power as they
identified witches and participated in ensuing trials. Stacy Schiff approaches the Salem events
from a different angle than most, using archive materials to recreate the trials and tensions of the
times, and to offer new insights on religious and social changes. Its audio rendition, read by Eliza
Foss, brings events to vivid life and adds a depth and perspective of 1692 society and women's
roles in it, making for a recommendation for history buffs and audio listeners alike.

telepathic communications between dimensions, teleportation, time travel, and government
secrets, making this a fitting add to any new age collection,.

returning a protagonist introduced in Jump the Gun to a blossoming audience. Annabelle flies to
Oregon to visit her newly relocated parents, who are experiencing many changes in their lives,
and is looking forward to a visit far from her New York detective agency intrigues. When she

questions whether she's being framed, whether the switch was an accident, or something more.
And when the gun's owner appears, the mystery deepens. A satisfying set of interactions and
twists keeps the story fast-paced, ever-changing, and fun; all cemented by a believably feisty
young protagonist. Frederick Ramsay's The Vulture (9781464204760, $26.95) begins when a
powerful bomb ends the life of ex-CIA small town sheriff Ike Schwartz, prompting both
mourning and a manhunt the tiny town's never experienced before. Former CIA colleague
Charlie Garland enters the picture and joins other investigators hot on the trail of the perp - and a
mercurial picture emerges as radical militias, big businesses, and dubious interests emerge, all
with reason to have caused Ike's death. Triss Stein's Brooklyn Secrets (9781464204104, $26.95)
tells of Brooklyn grad student Erica Donato, who is researching the 1930s when Brownville was
home to a group of organized criminals called Murder, Inc. - but her field research becomes too
real when a young college-bound student is beaten and left for dead. As events escalate from her
1930s research to her present-day life, Erica finds her questions reveal a cast of dubious
characters and the very real possibility of a long-ago crime re-emerging to threaten her world. A
satisfying blend of history and crime makes for an unusual, winning approach mystery genre
readers will relish as something compellingly different.

University of Oklahoma Press

www.oupress.com
9780806148274, $34.95, www.amazon.com
Picturing Migrants: The Grapes of Wrath and New Deal Documentary Photography links a
classic novel with photos produced for the New Deal's Farm Security Administration, offering a
dual discussion of the novel and the photos which, together, provided a definitive exploration of
migrant experience in the 1930s. It's the intersection between the two which has proved pivotal
and revealing: this provides new insights into both Steinbeck's novel and the photos and how
they both became definitive representations of the Depression. Chapters refute the notion that
Steinbeck's portrait of Oklahoma migrants in California stemmed from fantasy: Lee traveled to
Oklahoma to prove they were real, and his documentary pictures illustrate the many realities that
Steinbeck so grippingly portrayed in Grapes of Wrath. Having Lee's works and these images
appear alongside the portraits of other photographers makes for a key discussion and new
perspective which should be required reading for any studying 1930s immigrant history,
Steinbeck's novel, or documentary photos of the Depression.

infrared images and understanding how the capture and representation of tones is changed in that
medium to producing landscapes, portraits, and more, the book reviews common problems,
shows how to overcome them, and discusses postproduction techniques that can correct or
enhance infrared shots. The result is a 'must' for any photographer new to infrared's special
approaches. Pierre Stephenson's Foundations of Posing (9781608959457, $34.95) discusses the
myriad of techniques needed to create better portraits through posing one's subject, and focuses
on the design of portraits through a better approach to the idea of posing. Chapters seek to blend
in discussions of background, angles, lighting, and special effects with an overall survey of how
posing choices change results, leading to a more in-depth approach than many would offer. No
portrait photographer should proceed without consulting this discussion of how to adopt different
techniques. Jim Cornfield's The Soft Touch: A Photographer's Guide to Manipulating Focus
(9781608959495, $34.95) reveals the possibilities and artistry involved in purposeful application
and manipulation of soft visual effects, and shows how soft focus can dramatically change and

Eighty-Eight Years: The Long Death of Slavery in the United States, 1777-1865 poses a simple
but striking question not by considering slavery's rise and fall in this country; but asking why it
took longer here than anywhere else in the world. It gathers a variety of perspectives and
analytical ideas in the process, considering the evolution and efforts of different states in
abolishing slavery laws, blending economic, geographic and local social concerns into its
examination of politics and processes, and offering a variety of different perspectives. Both
Afro-American and white efforts in the process are well detailed, making this a revealing and
thought-provoking study that adopts no singular path as it considers the various influences on
slavery's abolishment and persistence.

The Chinchaga Firestorm: When the Moon and Sun Turned Blue documents the biggest
firestorm in North America, during which some 3,500,000 acres of forest burned in northern
Alberta and British Columbia. The result was the world's largest atmospheric smoke layer - and
the author not only describes the fire and its impact, but adds technical details and history to
survey forest fires at other times and how people handled them. Though the 1950 fire changed
how fires are fought in Alberta and elsewhere, they also affected scientific research, forest
management, and ecological studies, making this survey of western Canadian history a
far-ranging examination holding much more of interest beyond its Canadian boundaries.
