Elegance of Ferns: Portrait of a Botanical Marvel
Discover the weirdly wonderful world of ferns--plants that outlived the dinosaurs, inspired a Victorian-era obsession, and continue to enchant us with their mathematical perfection and lush beauty. Ancient and enigmatic, ferns captivate with understated elegance. Their fronds unfurl in perfect mathematical spirals, connecting us to Earth's primordial past. Victorian-era "fern fever" transformed these plants into cultural icons inspiring art and literature, while Māori traditions revere them as sacred links between heaven and earth. Ferns also played a central role in the picturesque movement, where artists like Reverend William Gilpin sought to capture their untamed naturalism in evocative landscapes. While for poets like John Clare, ferns symbolized a mystical connection to nature, their shadowy habitats offering a refuge for contemplation and melancholy. But ferns are more than symbols--they are ecological marvels, resilient and adaptive. Nitzke also explores the environmental and evolutionary importance of ferns, which have adapted to thrive in diverse environments, from the lush rainforests of New Zealand to the fossilized landscapes of Saxony. Their prehistoric dominance--towering three stories high--is preserved in fossilized remains 360 million years old. The Elegance of Ferns invites us to marvel at these living relics--symbols of beauty, cultural identity, and ecological resilience illuminating our connection to the natural world. -

Remembering Roots: How an American Classic Transformed the World
"Remembering Roots highlights the indomitability of the human spirit; and reminds us that, like our ancestors, as long as we continue to breathe, there's hope." --LEVAR BURTON, award-winning actor, director, author, and original cast member of Roots
Discover how the book and TV miniseries Roots became a cultural phenomenon that has shaped our understanding of heritage, race, identity, and family for fifty years.
As we approach the 50th anniversaries of Alex Haley's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel Roots (1976) and its landmark television adaptation (1977), journalist and storyteller Lucas L. Johnson II reflects on the enduring legacy of Haley's work through the voices of those it continues to move, including scholars, artists, genealogists, students, and original cast members like LeVar Burton and Ben Vereen.
With vivid personal anecdotes, emotional tributes, and probing reflections, Remembering Roots shows how Haley's vision gave birth to a genealogy movement, inspired generations to reclaim their identities, and challenged America to confront its past. From a sixth-grader who became the first lawyer in her family, to a blind musician empowered by his father's retelling of Roots' most iconic scene, Johnson traces the ripple effects of Haley's griot storytelling across time and culture.
As debates rage over which histories get told, Remembering Roots boldly asserts the necessity to remember and retell our stories. A call to action, this book reaffirms that storytelling is not just an art--it's a path to healing.

Royal Treatment: Jackie Robinson, Montreal, and the Breaking of Baseball's Color Barrier
The story of Jackie Robinson's prodigious talent, his courageous journey, and his influence on both the game of baseball and American society writ large has been told well and often. What hasn't been told is the full story of his first season in the minor leagues in Montreal. In 1946, before moving up to the Brooklyn Dodgers, Robinson spent a season thrilling home crowds in a Canadian city with Major League aspirations. He played for the AAA Montreal Royals of the International League, leading the team to victory in the Junior World Series.
As it turned out, postwar Montreal was the ideal location for Brooklyn Dodgers General Manager Branch Rickey's "great experiment" to finally integrate America's pastime. Although both Rickey and Robinson have rightly been at the center stage of this story, it was the masses of cheering Montrealers who first showed the world that professional baseball was ready to bury race-based segregation. As Robinson told a Canadian Broadcasting Corporation reporter years later, "Had it not been for the fact that we broke in in Montreal, I doubt seriously if we would have made the grade so rapidly. The fans were just fantastic, and my wife and I had nothing but the greatest of memories."
In Royal Treatment Sean J. McLaughlin explores Robinson's experience in Canada as a Minor Leaguer and the warm embrace he received from Montrealers well before he became one of baseball's household names. Bringing the early fan experience of Robinson directly to the foreground, Royal Treatment is an intimate look at a pivotal juncture in Robinson's career, and the overwhelmingly positive relationship he had with the community that supported his rise to fame. This baseball story centers Robinson within the context of the Black American expatriate experience in Montreal in the postwar era.
