Before
The Far Side,
Doonesbury and
Pearls Before Swine, Krazy Kat
was the hippest comic strip around. This brilliant biography is the saga of its enigmatic creator,
George Herriman.
An African-American who "passed" as white, he fashioned a work of art on a weekly basis as surreal, hilarious, touching and ultimately American as jazz.
- Charles Bottomley

The Undoing Project: A Friendship That Changed Our Minds
By Michael Lewis 
Forty years ago, Israeli psychologists Daniel Kahneman and Amos Tversky wrote a series of breathtakingly original studies undoing our assumptions about the decision-making process. Their papers showed the ways in which the human mind erred, systematically, when forced to make judgments in uncertain situations.
Kahneman and Tversky are more responsible than anybody for the powerful trend to mistrust human intuition and defer to algorithms.

The sixth novel in
James S. A. Corey's
New York Times bestselling
Expanse series--now a major television series from Syfy.
A revolution brewing for generations has begun in fire. It will end in blood.
The Free Navy - a violent group of Belters in black-market military ships - has crippled the Earth and begun a campaign of piracy and violence among the outer planets. The colony ships heading for the thousand new worlds on the far side of the alien ring gates are easy prey, and no single navy remains strong enough to protect them.

A field guide to the twenty-first century, written by one of its most celebrated observers.
In a work unlike anything he has attempted before, Thomas L. Friedman exposes the tectonic movements that are reshaping the world today and explains how to get the most out of them and cushion their worst impacts. You will never look at the world the same way again after you read this book: how you understand the news, the work you do, the education your kids need, the investments your employer has to make, and the moral and geopolitical choices our country has to navigate will all be refashioned by Friedman's original analysis.

At this time of year, we turn our focus to an old Northshire tradition - the
Book Angel Program
. Between the two stores we (you and us) give over 1,000 books to area children who would not otherwise get a book for the holidays. Getting kids reading is so important. Thank you for your help in making this happen. Please come into one of the stores and pick an angel off the tree and buy a book for someone, or contribute online at the link above.
Our holiday catalog, Independent Voices
, is out! It has many great gift ideas. We have broken it up for online shopping -
Adults
and
Children
or view the catalog as
PDF
. Another popular gift at this time of year is
Northshire Selects
- each month Northshire Bookstore's award-winning booksellers will select the perfect book and send it, beautifully wrapped, to your friend, loved one or yourself! A great gift for the grand kids!
Finally, a reminder from Vaclav Havel, "Hope is not prognostication. It is an orientation of the spirit, an orientation of the heart. It transcends the world that is immediately experienced, and is anchored somewhere beyond its horizons..."
May the season be joyous,
Chris

Independently Published at Northshire Bookstore
by ShiresPress.
|
In the mid 1980s, Donald P. Gregg bought two U.S. silver dollars, both dated 1882, from a peddler outside the ancient Roman ruin of Jerash in Jordan, and wondered how they had gotten there, how they were spent, and in whose pockets they had traveled. Gregg's purchase sparked The Scarred Double Eagle, the story of a twenty dollar gold piece, dated 1862.
