So Brave, Young and Handsome
by Leif Enger
A stunning successor to his best selling novel Peace Like a
River, Leif Enger’s new work is a rugged and nimble story
about an aging train robber on a quest to reconcile the claims
of love and judgment on his life, and the failed writer who goes
with him. In 1915 Minnesota, novelist Monte Becket has lost his
sense of purpose. When he befriends outlaw Glendon Hale, a new
world of opportunity and experience presents itself.

"Signal thanks to journalist Swift for this authoritative biography
of Charles Albert Bender, the early 20th-century pitcher who managed
to shine in both the big leagues and in life while confronting poverty
and racism. Swift sets aside the myths about this most famous American
Indian player while vividly describing him in the context of the
famed Carlisle Indian School, baseball's Golden Age, Connie Mack
and his Athletics, and the effects of gambling and alcoholism on
sports. For all interested in the First Nations, quite apart from
baseball."

In Full Circle features Carleton's renowned "Garden
of
Quiet Listening." Recognized as one of the top ten Japanese
style gardens outside of Japan, the garden exemplifies the best
practices and principles of design and maintenance. The video not
only explores how these time honored principles find expression
in the Carleton garden but the process by which the garden was created
and has evolved since 1974. Included on the DVD is a lecture on
the principles of Japanese style garden design given recently at
Carleton by David Slawson, the garden's eminent designer. This engaging
video will appeal to both the seasoned professional and the amateur
gardener as well. Produced by Bardwell Smith.
