Bessie StringfieldTales of the Talented TenthWords and Pictures by Joel Christian GillForeword by Dr. Sheena Howard This is the amazing true story of Bessie Stringfield, the first black woman to be inducted into the American Motorcyclist Associa-tion Hall of Fame and the Harley Davidson Hall of Fame. Stringfield was a pioneer in motorcycling during her lifetime; she rode as a civilian courier for the US mili-tary and founded the Iron Horse Motorcycle Club in Miami, all while confronting and overcoming Jim Crow in every ride.
Tales of the Talented Tenth is a graphic novel series that focuses on the adventures of amazing African Americans in action. With vivid and whimsical art, these graphic novels are accessible to adults, teens, and young readers. They bring to life not only extraordinary tales of adventure but also the his-tory of previously disenfranchised peoples.
Joel Christian Gill is the chair of Foundations at the New Hamp-shire Institute of Art and recipient of the 2016 Boston University Col-lege of Fine Arts Alumni Award. He wrote the words and drew the pictures in Strange Fruit, Volume I: Uncelebrated Narratives from Black History, and Bass Reeves: Tales of the Talented Tenth. Joel received his MFA from Boston University and a BA from Roanoke College. His secret lair is behind a secret panel in the kitchen of his house (sold separately) in New Boston, New Hampshire, where he lives with his wife, four children, talking dog, and two psychic cats.

Colonial Comics, Volume II: New England: 1750–1775Edited by Jason Rodriguez
A massacre in Boston. A tea party. A shot heard around the world. But who was the first casu-alty of the massacre? How did the tea get to Boston Harbor? What was the Battle of Concord like for a Minute Man?
Colonial Comics, Volume II: New England, 1750–1775 expands the frame of this infamous period of American history. Uncon-ventional characters come to life including grave-digging medical students, counterfeiters, female playwrights, instigators of civil disobedience, newspaper editors, college students, rum traders, freemen, and slaves. This second volume of the Colo-nial Comics trilogy is an artful look of what life was like in the Pre-Revolutionary period and illustrates how the Revolutionary spirit spread to the common man and woman, one gorgeous comic story at a time.
Jason Rodriguez is an Eisner- and Harvey- nominated editor of comics and graphic novels. His anthologies include Postcards: True Stories That Never Hap-pened, Colonial Comics, Volume I: New England, 1620-1750, and Artists Against Police Brutality. He is also the author of the short story collection Try Looking Ahead. He lives in Arlington, Virginia. For more on Jason’s current and future projects, visit his website at jasonrodriguez.com.

Absinthe: The Exquisite ElixirWritten by Betina J. Wittels and Edited by T.A. Breaux
Filled with color reproductions of classic and current lithographs, posters, and cartoons, as well as photos of antiques, glassware, and other tools of the absinthe drinker, this new and comprehensive guide explains and illustrates the history, culture, and mystique of the drink known as the Green Fairy. The authors provide insights into the controversy and effects of the Green Fairy through the stories of famous connoisseurs, including Vincent van Gogh, Oscar Wilde, Ernest Hemingway, and Pablo Picasso.
In addition to a rich history, this detailed new guide includes reci-pes, reviews of existing Absinthe brands, and absinthe’s contempo-rary culture and ritual. Dedicated absinthe drinkers, neophytes, the curious, and collectors will all find this book equally intriguing and seductive.
Betina J. Wittels, Ms. Ed., is an absinthe expert and one of the first to formally introduce the absinthe lore and absinthe antiques to the United States over twenty years ago. Creator of the website allth-ingsabsinthe.com, she is willing to turn over any boulder or slip into any barrio to uncover a rare spoon or a bottle of vintage absinthe. She lives in Tucson, Arizona with her black cat and a white wolf dog.
T.A. Breaux is a chemist and one of the leading experts on absinthe’s chemical makeup. He is the founder of the Société Interna-tional d’Absinthe, a rapidly growing worldwide organiza-tion that caters to absinthe connoisseurs.

The Future Has Other Plans Planning Holistically to Conserve Natural and Cultural HeritageBy Jonathan M. Kohl and Stephen F. McCool
Crisis has enveloped the 200,000 nationally and regionally pro-tected natural and cultural heritage sites around the world, as well as many thousands more at local levels. Heritage manag-ers – those who manage natural heritage sites such as national parks, wilderness areas, and bio-sphere reserves, as well as those who manage cultural heritage sites such as historic monuments, battlefields, old buildings, and ancient rock art sites – have an urgent responsibility to confront this crisis, and each day that they don’t, our planet irreplace-ably loses more of our common heritage.
The Future Has Other Plans pro-vides an innovative and modern solution for preserving these valuable sites. Merging interdisci-plinary and innovative manage-ment paradigms, the authors out-line a new holistic planning that integrates the disciplines of
heritage management and conservation with operational realities.
Jon Kohl is coordinator and founder of the PUP Global Heri-tage Consortium. Within plan-ning his specialty is public use management in heritage sites, especially heritage interpreta-tion and its role in protected area management, for which he is globally recognised as a writer and speaker.
Steve McCool is professor emeritus, Wildland Recreation Management at the University of Montana, and is an Associate at the Center for Protected Area Management at Colorado State University.

rules oF the roadFinding fossils is fun, but it’s important that you follow the rules if you want to collect them. For private property, always get permission from the landowner before you start to look for fossils. For state land (this includes a lot of road cuts and parks), check with the state archaeologist (sadly, most states don’t have a state paleontologist) before you go, since rules vary from state to state. On Bureau of Land Management (BLM) land, you can collect reasonable amounts of plant and invertebrate fossils for personal, noncommercial use, but you can’t collect bones, teeth, or skeletons without a professional permit. Check in at local BLM offices for additional rules and recommendations. The U.S. Forest Service has similar regulations, so check with local ranger stations to get specific details. Collecting is forbidden in National Parks.
Some museums and fossil clubs organize fossil digs (see the list below). This is a good way to learn the rules of the road and get your questions answered. But no matter where you are or who you’re with, if you find something really cool, contact a paleontologist.
stuff Your Mom and dr. Johnson Would Want You to bring on Your Fossil digFood and LOTS of water
Sensible shoes for hiking long distances
Sunscreen, hat, and work gloves
Toilet paper (Not just for roadside emergencies! It’s the best thing for wrapping delicate fossils.)
Small sledgehammer for busting open concretions
Handheld GPS device to record the location of your finds
Rock hammer, shovels, crowbar (for prying rock layers apart). For the truly serious, a pickax.

The American West is the world’s finest fossil field. The mountains, badlands, canyons, deserts, and road cuts of this region expose layered sedimentary rocks from every geological period. Each image on the map is based on an actual fossil find, and, just to make sure you’re paying attention, there’s a cheeseburger in every state. The lists below give you our recommendations for the best fossil museums, digs, Web sites, and parks to visit when you take your own paleo–road trip.
