The ""Dust Bowl"" describes both a time in American history (mid-1930s) and a region (the Great Plains). Severe weather, misuse of land by farmers, and economic pressures from the Great Depression meant that farmers and families in a large area of the central U.S. were faced with loss of usable land, lack of work, and poverty. This is their story, told in their words and in photographs. Included are newspaper accounts, letters, interviews, memoirs, songs, government documents, FDR's Second New Deal, and an excerpt from Steinbeck's ""Grapes of Wrath.""

A curious incident occurred during the 1969 Apollo 10 moon mission. A white object, later dubbed a 'moon pigeon', was filmed moving above the moon's surface below the spacecraft. An official NASA report entitled "Moon pigeons and other unidentified visual phenomena associated with space flight", published in 1970, attributed the Apollo 10 'moon pigeon' to either a piece of ice or a reflection from the window of the spacecraft.This is the story of a pigeon named Phoebe Featherbelle, who met a NASA scientist and set out to discover the truth about the incident.What happened to her is described by a pair of Trafalgar Square pigeons.

Two pigeons, Wilbur and Pippa, present the entire epic story of the battle that changed Trafalgar Square forever, told from the pigeon side of the conflict. Narrated over one historic evening's roost in ten hard-hitting and historically researched historic chapters, this is the first time in pigeon history that the whole history of the historic plight of the Trafalgar Square pigeons has been told.

McStew (a.k.a. the Gypsy Bandit) is one strange next-door neighbor. It isn't unusual for eleven-year-old Scotty Hansen to find McStew outside burying household appliances with his invisible sidekick named Reese, or plotting ways to vanquish the evil pirate Blackheart. And when Scotty decides to build the tree house his father had planned before his death, McStew, who has an abusive home life, sees it as an opportunity to move in. But soon McStew vanishes altogether, and though he's physically not there anymore, his oddball influence over the lives of Scotty, Scotty's mother, and a number of other people grows stronger than ever. There's romance, a murder, mystery, and plenty of aggravation in store for Scotty in his previously uncomplicated world, and readers will find themselves drawn into it by a fast-paced plot and characters who are smart, funny, and full of heart.
