In View from Mount Diablo, Class and racial privilege and the resentments they provoke underscore both turmoil in wider society and the relationships at the heart of the narrative, between Adam Cole, a dreamy white boy driven by personal tragedy to crusading journalism, squint-eyed Nellie Simpson, once a servant, then a political enforcer, and stuttering Nathan, gardener and groom turned cocaine baron. Beyond this trio is a dazzling array of real and fictitious characters. The annotated edition by John Lennard, Professor of British and American Literature at UWI - Mona in Kingston, allows the full scope of the verse-novel to emerge for readers unfamiliar with Jamaican history since the 1930s.

"Mount Diablo, A Story of Place and Inspiration, is a fine art photography book featuring panoramic images of Mount Diablo (Contra Costa County, California) created by landscape photographer Stephen Joseph. Supporting Stephen Joseph's 140 original images of Mount Diablo is narrative written by five leaders in conservationism and environmentalism whose thoughtful, expressive voices explore and share the diverse ways natural lands, and Mount Diablo specifically, touch our lives and inspire us to care about our environment and each other. Together, the words and imagery speak to the significance of nature and the natural world in the lives of individuals, communities, and cultures. At its heart, this is a fine art photography book celebrating the wonderment of Mount Diablo's extraordinary lands as they appear today (the photographs in this book span Winter 2016 to Spring 2019). The art and narratives also demonstrate how successful local communities have been in creating public lands and in preserving tens of thousands of acres of Mount Diablo's unparalleled beauty"--

“a worthy, if not definitive, addition to the body of Zodiac knowledge.” — Kirkus "It is no exaggeration to call the identity of the Zodiac Killer the most maddening unsolved crime in American history...But it is also no exaggeration to say that Mike Rodelli's case stands above them all" — Tom Zoellner, Author and Former Reporter for the San Francisco Chronicle In June 1999, Mike Rodelli had an idea that had never occurred to a generation of detectives in the San Francisco Bay Area. This led him to a new suspect in the Zodiac case and began a twenty-year odyssey to prove that this man was the Zodiac Killer. In the Shadow of Mt. Diablo: The Shocking True Identity of the Zodiac Killer is filled with original information about the mystery, including DNA and behavioral profiling that resulted directly from his twenty years of intensive research. Rodelli provides the reader with an objectively researched, fully documented book that is meticulously footnoted, and which shows that, against all odds, he has solved a case many said would never yield its dark secrets.
