For three decades, Louis Norman "Bobo" Newsom (1907-1962) was one of the most well-known pitchers in baseball. Frequently quoted by sportswriters, he appeared in all the popular sports publications as well as on Wheaties boxes and bubblegum cards, and was the undisputed star of the 1940 World Series. Despite his success, he was sold or traded 14 times during his 20-year career. He pitched for nine of 16 Major League teams--including five stints with the Washington Senators--and made sports headlines nearly every year for holding out, being suspended or traded. In an era when players seldom changed teams more than once and rarely defied authority, Newsom seemed always at odds with the powers that be. Drawing on interviews with family, friends and former teammates, this first full-length biography of Newsom takes an entertaining look at the life and career of one of sports' most memorable characters. Despite his nickname and nonstop antics, Bobo was much more than a clown, and gave more to the game than he ever got from it.

In 1850, fourteen-year-old Celia became the property of Robert Newsom, a prosperous and respected Missouri farmer. For the next five years, she was cruelly and repeatedly molested by her abusive master--and bore him two children in the process. But in 1855, driven to the limits of her endurance, Celia fought back. And at the tender age of eighteen, the desperate and frightened young black woman found herself on trial for Newsom's murder--the defendant in a landmark courtroom battle that threatened to undermine the very foundations of the South's most cherished institution. Based on court records, correspondences and newspaper accounts past and present, Celia, A Slave is a powerful masterwork of passion and scholarship--a stunning literary achievement that brilliantly illuminates one of the most extraordinary events in the long, dark history of slavery in America.

In a debut remarkable for its formal control and emotional range, Brent Newsom tunes narrative and lyric impulses to an idiom rooted in his native Louisiana.

"These memoirs of an unusually wise and perceptive American diplomat provide rare insight into America at the apogee of its global power. Ambassador Newsom reminds us throughout that one of our greatest strengths is the diplomatic power of the United States in a complex world." -- Nicholas Burns, Professor, Harvard University, and former Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs "David Newsom's memoirs are a deeply personal, witty, and wise account of the life of one of America's finest diplomats. Newsom combined an intuitive grasp of foreign cultures with a wry, self-deprecating sense of humor. During three decades in the field and in Washington, he was truly 'in the eye of the storm' as he met some of the major challenges our nation faced abroad. Crises brought out his most sterling qualities: competence, courage, and discipline." --Roscoe S. Suddarth, former U.S. Ambassador to Jordan

Additionally, she rehabilitates the moral perspectives represented by certain voices of the book that modern critics have treated with disdain.

Featuring Ryan Francesconi and Neal Morgan from Joanna's Ys Street Band, Have One on Me is an extravagantly packaged collection of fantastic new Joanna Newsom songs: her most colorful record to date.
