Hundred Little Hitlers : The Death of a Black Man, the Trial of a White
Racist, and the Rise of the Neo-Nazi Movement in America
by Elinor Langer
Book Description A riveting account of a skinhead killing and a chilling
look at the world in which it happened
On November 12, 1988, a group of Portland, Oregon, skinheads known as
East Side White Pride met for an evening of beer and racist banter. Later
that night, they encountered three Ethiopians; a street fight broke out
and Kenneth Mieske brutally beat Mulugeta Seraw with a bat. In the early-morning
hours, Seraw died.
Drawing on more than ten years of original research, award-winning journalist
Elinor Langer takes the Seraw case as the occasion for a thorough investigation
of the Nazi-inspired racist movement in the United States. She vividly
reconstructs the world of the skinheads, both in Portland and nationally:
their origins in the punk scene, their basement shrines to Nazi power,
their moments of glory on Oprah and Geraldo. She delves into the long-standing
radical groups with which the skinheads became allied, tracking the progress
of such powerful figures as white Aryan resistance leader Tom Metzger through
the stations of the far right, from the Birch Society to Christian Identity
to David Duke's Klan. In gripping detail, she follows ambitious civil-rights
lawyer Morris Dees's efforts to prove Metzger responsible for the Portland
killing-a sensational campaign to curb the growth of neo-Nazism.
Compelling, disturbing, and important, A Hundred Little Hitlers is both
an epic account of racism and justice, and a close examination of social
forces that loom ever more dangerously today.

Search of Ancient Oregon: A Geological and Natural History
by Ellen Morris Bishop
Book Description
Until about 110 million years ago, the land we know as Oregon simply
did not exist. The development of the state's distinctive and beautiful
landscapes is a classic and dramatic tale, 400 million years in the making
and greatly affected by global events. In the beginning, Oregon's foundations
lay far off the Idaho seacoast as tropical volcanic islands. Collision
with these exotic terranes produced the first land that was truly Oregon.
Subsequent eruptions of volcanoes in central and eastern Oregon --- where
bananas grew and tiny horses browsed on figs and lotus leaves --- built
the coastline westward. As the climate cooled, Columbia River basalts and
collision with a chain of offshore seamounts built Oregon's coast to today's
position, while faulting uplifted now-familiar mountain ranges. When mastodons
and dire wolves prowled the Willamette Valley at the end of the Ice Age,
great floods from Montana transformed the valley into a 100-mile-long lake.
Today, earthquakes and eruptions still shape our landscapes.
Geology is an extremely visual subject, and In Search of Ancient Oregon
is a beautifully photographed, expertly written account of Oregon's fascinating
geological story. Written by a passionate and professional geologist who
has spent countless hours in the field exploring and photographing the
state, In Search of Ancient Oregon is a book for all those interested in
Oregon's present and past landscapes, plants, animals, and climates. It
presents fine-art-quality color photographs of well-known features, including
Mount Hood, Crater Lake, Smith Rock, Steens Mountain, the Columbia River
Gorge, and Oregon's rugged coast, as well as scenic and more remote places,
including Diamond Craters, the Owyhees, Abert Rim, Hells Canyon, the Wallowas,
and Three Fingered Jack. Clear and compelling writing accompanies the more
than 215 stunning photographs. Finally, here is a book that tells the tale
of how Oregon's diverse landscapes, climates, and wildlife evolved ---
and what we may expect in the future.
Until now, no book has presented this dynamic story in a way that everyone
interested in Oregon's natural history can easily understand. Extraordinary
photographs and the author's lucid explanations make this book both unique
and essential for those curious about our own contemporary landscape.
