Archaeology by period / regionMoctezuma's Mexico
Visions of the Aztec World, Revised Edition
by David Carrasco
Updated with a new chapter by Davíd Carrasco describing how the Aztec world has been re-imagined by modern Mexican American communities and Chicano scholars, 'Moctezuma's Mexico' is a lavishly illustrated volume that provides an in-depth historical profile of the Aztec empire on the eve of its fateful encounter with the Europeans.

With nearly 150 full-colour illustrations, 'Moctezuma's Mexico' is an important and handsome book that will appeal to scholars and students of Mexico's indigenous past.

Tribal religionsRepresenting Aztec Ritual
Performance, Text, and Image in the Work of Sahagun
by Eloise Quinones Keber
Arriving in Mexico less than a decade after the Spanish conquest of 1521, the Franciscan missionary Bernardino de Sahagún not only laboured to supplant native religion with Christianity, he also gathered voluminous information on virtually every aspect of Aztec (Nahua) life in contact-period Mexico. His pioneering ethnographic work relied on interviews with Nahua elders and the assistance of a younger generation of bicultural, missionary-trained Nahuas. Sahagún's remarkably detailed descriptions of Aztec ceremonial life offer the most extensive account of a non-Western ritual system recorded before modern times. This book uses Sahagún's corpus as a starting point to focus on ritual performance, a key element in the functioning of the Aztec world. With topics ranging from the ritual use of sand and paper to the sacrifice of women, contributors explore how Aztec rites were represented in the images and texts of documents compiled under colonial rule and the implications of this European filter for our understanding of these ceremonies. Incorporating diverse disciplinary perspectives, contributors include Davíd Carrasco, Philip P. Arnold, Kay Read, H. B. Nicholson, Eduardo Matos Moctezuma, Guilhem Olivier, Doris Heyden, and Eloise Quiñones Keber.

Picture books, activity books & early learning materialHow Did Humans Go Extinct?
by Johnny Marciano, Paul Hoppe
ONE DAY MANY, MANY YEARS FROM NOW, a young Nøørfbløøk child named Plib goes on a class trip to his favorite place—the Natural History Museum! Some kids love the exhibits on Outer Space. Others love the Evolution Room. Could Nøørfbløøks really have descended from frogs? BUT PLIB’S FAVORITE DISPLAYS ARE OF HUMAN BEINGS. Plib loves humans. All his favorite books and movies are about them, and he never goes anywhere without his trusted stuffy, Frank. He’ll never get to meet a human being, however, for one very simple reason: they went extinct ten million years ago! BUT, HOW DID HUMANS GO EXTINCT? SOME OF THE THEORIES PLIB LEARNS ARE SILLY, while others are sad; but all will allow the children of today to consider how their actions will affect the future. Johnny Marciano’s hilarious and timely story, brought to life by Paul Hoppe’s laugh-out-loud illustrations, provides a great vehicle for parents to discuss the environment, natural history, and global human behavior with their own curious Plibs.

January 2021Immanuel
A Graphic Illustrated Story of the Life of Jesus
by Jonathan Chong
Extrect from the Preface: It has always been my desire to tell and illustrate the Life of Jesus Christ in comic book format ever since I accepted Him as my Savior in my high school years. I read His life and ministry in the four gospels and came to believe that He is indeed the Way, the Truth, and the Life, and no one comes to the Father but through Him. I want to proclaim this truth to all people. My desire in this book is to tell the wonderful life of Christ as true to the gospels as possible and with fun and lively illustrations. Most of the wordings in this book are taken directly from the gospels of the NET Bible. I only added extra text to help the flow of the story. I also used Johnston M. Cheney’s book, The Life of Christ in Stereo, as a guide to chronicle the life of Christ in the four gospels. One of the great advantages of a comic book is that its visual pictures and images can be understood by any race and age anywhere in the world. With proper translations, these comic book stories can reach many people in many different cultures and countries. My hope and prayer is that this comic book of the life of Christ will be read and enjoyed by children and adults in many parts of the world, and many will come to believe that Jesus is the Christ-Messiah indeed.

Children's & YAOctober 2020Aboard the Bulger
by Ann Scott Moncrieff, illustrated by C. L. Davidson
Five children escape from a Children’s Home, run away and steal a boat, which they sail around the Outer Hebrides. The book had a huge print run from London Methuen, but their warehouses were bombed in 1940 in Paternoster Row; 5 million books were lost in the fires caused by tens of thousands of incendiary bombs. Consequently, there were very few copies in circulation. This is the resurrection of a successful children’s adventure story.
