Lynn Riggs: The Indigenous Plays bundles critically edited texts of three thematically allied plays with an extensive primary, secondary, and textual apparatus. The Cherokee Night (1932), comprising seven asynchronous scenes set between 1895 and 1931, is Riggs's most experimental play. Its Cherokee characters inhabit a history of dispossession and violence, including the dissolution of the Cherokee Nation with Oklahoma statehood in 1907. Their daily survival constitutes the apex of resistance. Not so for the Indigenes of The Year of Pilar (1938), the most radical American Indian text prior to the Native American renaissance that began in the late 1960s. Here, Yucatecan Mayans take a government program of land reform as an opportunity to reclaim their homeland and punish settler-colonialists for centuries of enslavement, torture, and sexual violence. Riggs returns to Indian Territory in The Cream in the Well (1941), set on the eve of Oklahoma statehood. The Cherokee Sawters family responds to the onset of statehood by lamenting lost opportunities and fretting about an uncertain future.

Lynn glared at Ryan Mitchell and wanted to smack his smug face, but even though Ryan meant to insult him, Lynn knew that there was a very good chance that what he said was right. He'd suspected for years now that Dylan Evans wasn't his real father. It didn't take a math wizard to figure out that he'd been born nine months after his mother had been rescued from Fort Benton.But what Ryan had said that pushed him to finally ask his parents if it was true, was when Ryan had laughed and said that Lynn was probably more like his real father, the monstrous Burke Riddell than his hero; the man who raised him.He left the small house to ask that painful question, and if he was told that it was true, he knew that he'd have to leave the Double EE ranch and the only family he'd ever known.

Lynn Chadwick (1914-2003) was one of the leading British sculptors of his generation. This essential illustrated catalogue raisonne of his sculpture is published in a new, fourth edition to coincide with Chadwick's centenary in 2014 and incorporates a new illustrated listing of his lithographs and jewellery, new reproductions of many of his sculptures (including some in colour), a completely new page design, and the most up-to-date catalogue information on his work.Chadwick began his career as an architectural draughtsman, but after the Second World War he took up sculpture without any formal training. He initially concentrated on mobiles, and these were followed by welded constructions and bronzes. He established his international reputation in 1956, when he won the International Prize for Sculpture at the Venice Biennale. He consistently worked in welded iron and was constantly intrigued by human and animal forms: no matter how abstract the sculpture became at times, it was always firmly rooted in a deep understanding of the natural world.This indispensable reference book includes comprehensive, updated lists of Chadwick's exhibitions, the public collections he is represented in, and a full biography, alongside the fully illustrated complete catalogue of his sculpture. The introductory essay by the late Dennis Farr, which draws on interviews with the artist, examines Chadwick's development as a sculptor and his sculptural techniques, and the catalogue notes now incorporate a useful new explanation of Chadwick's bronze casts and foundries.
Lynn is on her first adventure to a place she has never been before. She will meet animals along the way. Some animals are kind. Others are not so kind. She learns why we should forgive others. That is how we can love and care about people more in the world today.
