Sharks and Other Creatures of the Deep
by DK Publishing $19.99

Sink your teeth into this underwater treasure, DK’s attention-grabbing guide to the creatures of the deep. Sharks and Other Creatures of the Deep teaches all about the fish and mammals that swim the ocean, from how they eat and sleep to their role in human history and legend. More than an animal encyclopedia, this book is packed with quirky top-ten lists, games and quizzes, and even recipes for your catch of the day. Dive into anatomy, taxonomy, plus a whole lot of fishy fun in this unique and exciting guide to the creatures of the deep.

The story of Negro League baseball is the story of gifted athletes and determined owners; of racial discrimination and international sportsmanship; of fortunes won and lost; of triumphs and defeats on and off the field. It is a perfect mirror for the social and political history of black America in the first half of the twentieth century. But most of all, the story of the Negro Leagues is about hundreds of unsung heroes who overcame segregation, hatred, terrible conditions, and low pay to do the one thing they loved more than anything else in the world: play ball.
