Lisa has a bit of a problem. She has to go to high school and leave all her friends from middle school behind. But there is a group of bully boys who do horrible things to her from day one. They drag her into the woods and rape her, and throw pebbles and other hard implements at her in class when things get quiet. Basically they make her life in high school a living nightmare. Lisa manages to find solace in her friend Davy, but does not want her father to know about the torment at school. But Davy does not want her to let the things those bullies do to her slide off her back. He wants to see them punished, as does Lisa's father when he finds out about them. This story is based in part on actual events. There is some harsh language and scenes that are not suitable for small children in this book. Reader discretion is advised.

Futuristic Fight-Club

By: Dee Dee Rivera,Cathy Britton

A combination of modern sports humor and futuristic animals. This story takes place in South America after humans have moved from the planet and animals take over again. This story puts the battleground of predator and prey together in an official boxing ring, and charges tickets to the other animals to watch. The two contenders at first are a large Deinognathus and an anaconda, two species that will most likely clash in the future world. Then the champion--the Deinognathus--will have to take on another challenger. Who will it be? Will the mighty predator win against this one? Find out. No real violence is depicted in this story, so it is child-friendly.

The American West

By: Dee Brown

As the railroads opened up the American West to settlers in the last half of the 19th Century, the Plains Indians made their final stand and cattle ranches spread from Texas to Montana. Eminent Western author Dee Brown here illuminates the struggle between these three groups as they fought for a place in this new landscape. The result is both a spirited national saga and an authoritative historical account of the drive for order in an uncharted wilderness, illustrated throughout with maps, photographs and ephemera from the period.

The Private Diary Of Dr. John Dee : And The Catalogue Of His Library Of Manuscripts, From The Original Manuscripts In The Ashmolean Museum At Oxford, And Trinity College Library, Cambridge

By: John Dee

This is the private diary of Dr. John Dee and is both expensive and hard to find in its first edition. It contains the writings of the sixteenth century occultist on his day-to-day activities.

Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.

Comics Collection (1986 - 1992)

By: Dee Dee Rivera

This is a collection of not one, but several different authors' work. Once in a while, when an idea is too small to put in a story form, the authors get together and collaborate to create a comic strip. Some of the best ever submitted to UMG Productions is within this collection. Including some of the "Brad the Frisky Civet" collection, which ran in 1986 and were big hits with the readers. One of the comic strips presented here, was once presented in the statewide school review! It was a great day for the author, Katrina O'hara, who started the comic strip just a few months before she passed away in 1986, but unfortunately did not live to see it's rise to fame. Some comics presented may not be suitable for children, due to strong language. Reader discretion advised.

Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee

An Indian History of the American West

By: Dee Brown

The “fascinating” #1 New York Times bestseller that awakened the world to the destruction of American Indians in the nineteenth-century West (The Wall Street Journal). First published in 1970, Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee generated shockwaves with its frank and heartbreaking depiction of the systematic annihilation of American Indian tribes across the western frontier. In this nonfiction account, Dee Brown focuses on the betrayals, battles, and massacres suffered by American Indians between 1860 and 1890. He tells of the many tribes and their renowned chiefs—from Geronimo to Red Cloud, Sitting Bull to Crazy Horse—who struggled to combat the destruction of their people and culture. Forcefully written and meticulously researched, Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee inspired a generation to take a second look at how the West was won. This ebook features an illustrated biography of Dee Brown including rare photos from the author’s personal collection.

The Native American Experience

Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee, The Fetterman Massacre, and Creek Mary's Blood

By: Dee Brown

Three powerful tales from the acclaimed chronicler of the American West—including the #1 New York Times bestseller, Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee. Two profoundly moving, candid histories and a powerful novel illuminate important aspects of the Native American story. Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee: The #1 New York Times bestseller that awakened the world to the destruction of American Indians in the nineteenth-century West, Dee Brown’s groundbreaking history focuses on the betrayals, battles, and systematic slaughter suffered by Native American tribes between 1860 and 1890, culminating in the Sioux massacre at Wounded Knee. “Shattering, appalling, compelling . . . One wonders, reading this searing, heartbreaking book, who, indeed, were the savages” (The Washington Post). The Fetterman Massacre: A riveting account of events leading up to the Battle of the Hundred Slain—the devastating 1866 conflict at Wyoming’s Ft. Phil Kearney that pitted Lakota, Arapaho, and Northern Cheyenne warriors—including Oglala chief Red Cloud, against the United States cavalry under the command of Captain William Fetterman. Based on a wealth of historical resources and sparked by Brown’s narrative genius, this is an essential look at one of the frontier’s defining conflicts. Creek Mary’s Blood: This New York Times bestseller fictionalizes the true story of Mary Musgrove—born in 1700 to a Creek tribal chief—and five generations of her family. The sweeping narrative spans the Revolutionary War, the Trail of Tears, and the Civil War—in which Mary’s descendants fought on both sides of the conflict. Rich in detail and human drama, Creek Mary’s Blood offers “a robust, unfussed crash-course in Native American history that rolls from East to West with dark, inexorable energy” (Kirkus Reviews).

Oklahoma City Zoo

1960-2013

By: Amy Dee Stephens

What started as a small menagerie in 1902 officially became Oklahoma City Zoo in 1903. Journey through the second half century of its illustrious history in Oklahoma City Zoo: 19602013. Meet the staff and animals and explore the exhibits that propelled it from a third-class animal facility to one of the best zoos in the United States. In the 1960s, its animal population exploded as knowledge of animal care improved. The zoo soon assembled the largest-known collection of hoofed animals. Later, a rare mountain gorilla named MKubwa stole newspaper headlines, a third leopard escaped, and the zoo met its first cheetah babies. The opening of Aquaticus in the 1980s brought the ocean to the prairie in the form of a dolphin and sea lion show. Elephants, however, remain the queen attraction at the Oklahoma City Zoo. In 2011, the birth of the zoos first baby elephant baby, Malee, was a crowning achievement in its 110-year history.

The Patron-Driven Library

A Practical Guide for Managing Collections and Services in the Digital Age

By: Dee Ann Allison

Libraries in the USA and globally are undergoing quiet revolution. Libraries are moving away from a philosophy that is collection-centered to one focused on service. Technology is key to that change. The Patron Driven Library explores the way technology has moved the focus from library collections to services, placing the reader at the center of library activities. The book reveals the way library users are changing, and how social networking, web delivery of information, and the uncertain landscape of e-print has energized librarians to adopt technology to meet a different model of the library while preserving core values. Following an introduction, the first part begins with the historical milieu, and moves on to current challenges for financing and acquiring materials, and an exploration of why the millennial generation is transformational. The second part examines how changes in library practice can create a culture for imagining library services in an age of information overflow. The final chapter asks: Whither the library? - Provides a synthesis of current research on the impact of technology on behaviour, and connecting it with library services - Offers examples and practical advice for incorporating technology to meet user expectations and assess services - Suggests management techniques to overcome barriers to change and technology innovation

The Next President

How the Man Defines the Office

By: Dee J. Rammell

You've heard of them, and you even know some of their accomplishments. Allow the former presidents of the United States of America to re-introduce themselves to you as fathers, husbands, men of faith, or men lacking hope. In their historical context and without bias, understand the laws they ratified, the political views and strategies that created the current political system, and how they felt about their choices. One president had a pair of stilts for each family member; what does that tell you about the man as a father? Another president had a wife who suffered from depression and made poor financial choices, causing public and private suffering; what kind of character was he exhibiting by staying with her? What do you think the average wealth of the presidents is? It might surprise you. Many Americans base their votes on a man's moral and personal choices, but do those choices accurately reflect his success in office? Your respect for the office will increase, your comprehension of the voting system will expand, and you may begin to consider today's and tomorrow's candidates in a different light after reading The Next President: How the Man Defines the Office.

Apostles of Culture

The Public Librarian and American Society, 1876-1920

By: Dee Garrison

In her Foreword, Christine Pawley sums up the importance of Dee Garrison's book as follows: "Nearly a quarter-century has passed since the first edition of Apostles of Culture appeared. Since no book-length study of the formation of the American public library has yet challenged Dee Garrison's 1979 analysis, it remains the most recent---and most-cited--- interpretation of the public library's past, a landmark in the history, and the historiography, of libraries and librarianship...For students and researchers who want to understand the development of a field that still suffers the status of the taken-for-granted, Apostles of Culture stands as a historical document. Its reissue allows its historiographical and political---as well as its historical---significance to be more fully appreciated.
