Wildflower: The Dramatic Life of Barbette--Round Rock's First and Greatest Drag Queen
"More fun than a sex party " -- Barbette Long before RuPaul eyed that first pair of six inch stilettos or Boy George donned a colorful caftan, a young man from the small town of Round Rock, Texas, barnstormed the stages of Europe's most lavish theaters and night clubs as Barbette, a beautiful aerialist drag queen who became a scandalous sensation throughout the Roaring Twenties. Performing his erotic, high-wire and trapeze routine in lavish, feminine regalia, Barbette shocked audiences by revealing his true gender at the very end of his act. From a child who picked cotton and walked his mother's clothes line to headlining at the Moulin Rouge in spectacular drag, Wildflower reveals long-forgotten secrets of this enigmatic performer: his arrest in London on morals charges, his bout with polio, his infamous collaborations with some of Hollywood's greatest stars - Orson Welles, Vincente Minnelli and Judy Garland, Jack Lemmon, and Tony Curtis as well as his hidden affair with French surrealist Jean Cocteau. Wildflower reveals the startling and at times heart-breaking story of Round Rock's first and greatest drag queen.

Kyle Bowman's seventh book on pro wrestling, a compilation piece. In this second edition, he writes some new insights as to how today's product has changed, from the once famed and most fondly remembered Attitude Era versus today's "stuff".

He also discusses his own ideas of what he would do, and suggestions for a company he now pitches ideas for in 2014; the AIWF Mid-Atlantic. Kyle also writes blueprints or templates of wrestling shows, and the like; made to inspire new options, creativity while growing a brand and audience for a promotion.

In Choosing to Care, Kyle E. Ciani examines the long history of interactions between parents and social reformers from diverse backgrounds in the development of social welfare programs, particularly childcare, in San Diego, California. Ciani explores how a variety of people-from destitute parents and tired guardians to benevolent advocates and professional social workers-connected over childcare concerns in a city that experienced tremendous demographic changes caused by urbanization, immigration, and the growth of a local U.S. military infrastructure from 1850 to 1950.Choosing to Care examines four significant areas where San Diego’s programs were distinct from, and contributed to, the national childcare agenda: the importance of the transnational U.S.–Mexico border relationship in creating effective childcare programs; the development of vocational education to curtail juvenile delinquency; the promotion of nursery school education; and the advancement of an emergency daycare program during the Great Depression and World War II. Ciani shows how children from families in unstable situations, especially children from Native American, Asian, Mexican-descent, African American, and impoverished Anglo families, challenged a social reform system that defined care as both social control and behavioral regulation.Choosing to Care incorporates a broader definition of childcare to include efforts by governmental and organizational bodies and persons to maintain and nurture the physical, mental, and social health and development of minors when parents and guardians cannot do so. It offers a more complex understanding of how multiple avenues and resources established social welfare in San Diego and other West Coast cities.

The Stooges Brass Band always had big dreams. From playing in the streets of New Orleans in the mid-1990s to playing stages the world over, they have held fast to their goal of raising brass band music and musicians to new heights - professionally and musically. In the intervening years, the band's members have become family, courted controversy, and trained a new generation of musicians, becoming one of the city's top brass bands along the way. Two decades after their founding, they have decided to tell their story. Can't Be Faded: Twenty Years in the New Orleans Brass Band Game is a collaboration between musician and ethnomusicologist Kyle DeCoste and more than a dozen members of the Stooges Brass Band, past and present. It is the culmination of five years of interviews, research, and writing. Told with humor and candor, it's as much a personal account of the Stooges' careers as it is a story of the city's musicians and, even more generally, a coming-of-age tale about black men in the United States at the turn of the twenty-first century. DeCoste and the band members take readers into the barrooms, practice rooms, studios, tour vans, and streets where the music is made and brotherhoods are shaped and strengthened. Comprised of lively firsthand accounts and honest dialogue, Can't Be Faded is a dynamic approach to collaborative research that offers a sensitive portrait of the humans behind the horns.
