This book is an attempt to reconstruct the history of the Yahi Indians of Northern California, a history the author feels was mangled by a common infatuation with the myths surrounding Ishi, the last survivor of the tribe. The focus on Ishi has allowed the Yahi's remarkable adaptation to a hostile environment to be ignored. And the facts of the destruction of the tribe have been replaced with yarns which have been widely accepted, even though in the author's view, they don't make any sense.

On April 29, 1981 American journalist George Thurlow was shot by members of the El Salvador Treasury Police on a jungle road in San Salvador. His 29-year-old driver, Gilberto Moran, was killed and Associated Press photographer Joaquin Zuniga was seriously injured in the shooting. Thurlow left El Salvador two days later to receive medical treatment in the U.S. In 2000 he began a more than two-decade search to find Gilberto Moran's grave and some form of personal redemption.El Salvador: Blood On All Our Hands details that search and introduces us to those who fought in the civil war, U.S. aid workers helping to rebuild the tiny country, as well as every day Salvadorans who suffered through a war that killed 70,000 of their fellow citizens. Many Salvadorans have decided it is time to move on from focusing on the war as their country enters a new era.The U.S. officials who supplied weapons and encouragement to the Salvadoran government, its security forces and the murderous death squads have never been held accountable. In El Salvador a Truth Commission has identified those most responsible for the assassinations and murder of priests, journalists and opposition leaders. This book is intended to document a moment in Salvadoran history when the United States government was responsible for a cruel carnage and to illustrate how American citizens are attempting to repair the damage.

On June 28, 2015, retired California State University, Chico librarian Jim Dwyer was found unconscious on the floor of the men's room in a mini-mart outside Sacramento, apparently on his way home from the Bay Area opening night of the Grateful Dead's Fare Thee Well tour. He died that evening in a nearby hospital. A nationally recognized literary scholar, Jim had dubbed his alter ego the Rev. Junkyard Moondog, reading beat-like poetry at open mics, joining local bands on stage, marching for peace and justice, working to save endangered species, and generally raising his freak flag high.A year after Jim's death, his friend and colleague Steve Metzger bought Jim's tiny run-down cottage from Jim's brother Billy, whose only condition was that Metzger not remove Jim's giant peace sign-fashioned of yellow and white freeway-lane divider dots-from the sloping street-facing roof of the house. Metzger, adjusting to recent personal changes of his own, set about restoring the cottage. He eventually christened it the Blue Peace House.Part biography, part memoir, Rock My Soul: A Poet's Heart, a Brokedown Palace, and a Final Fare-Thee-Well examines Jim's complicated life, drawing on extensive interviews with Jim's neighbors, friends and colleagues. The book also highlights turning points in Metzger's 40-year freelance writing career, along the way offering a look at Chico history, including the filming of The Adventures of Robin Hood, Woody Guthrie's little-known summer in Chico, the WWII Chico Army Air Field, and the beginnings of the Chico Peace and Justice Center. Facebook posts from Jim's/Moondog's friends after they learn of his death shed further light on the life of this eccentric scholar/artist.

Jesus' style was to avoid giving straightforward answers even though his disciples kept asking for explanations. His unique sayings are the beatitudes, those about turning the other cheek, and the injunction to love enemies. But "treat people in the way you want to be treated" is closer to Jesus' perspective. This book lists 114 "secret sayings" by Jesus preserved by his twin brother Judas (Jude) "Thomas" and found in 1945 near the Egyptian town of Nag Hammadi. Author Jerome rewrites the words into twenty-first century English.
