Capturing the imagination of the World War II generation, these airborne demolitions men of Regimental Headquarters Company, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne Division shaved their heads with scalp locks and painted their faces in Indian fashion for the jump into Normandy. Their rebellious and rowdy antics during training defied the traditional concept of military discipline, but their leaders recognized they possessed a different type of discipline, one needed in this new airborne experiment of inserting men behind enemy lines. War Paint tells the story of those men who made up the Filthy Thirteen at the time it jumped into Normandy. While the two previous books, The Filthy Thirteen and Fighting with the Filthy Thirteen, recount the personal experiences or the unit's two key leaders, Jake McNiece and Jack Womer, War Paint provides a historical narrative of who all the men were and their ordeal in combat. It sets their stories into their proper context. This new book not only fills in many gaps left by the previous books, but provides a study of a single airborne stick that jumped into Normandy. It weaves together each man's account where he landed and what happened to him on the ground, through the rest of war and finally home. It verifies what the odds really were of a combat paratrooper ever surviving the war. In the decade since the first book came out, the authors and publisher have collected over a hundred photos of these men that bring their story to life as words never could. This is the story of one of the greatest legends to grow out of the 101st Airborne Division.

The concept for Break the Walls is pretty simple. What story plays in your head when you listen to your favorite Pixies song? I approached some of my fellow comic book creators and asked them to create 4-8 pages stories inspired by their favorite Pixies songs. The song acts as an inspiration, jumping off point, theme or mood for the story. Each story varies in style and genre.

Once abundant throughout the grassland prairie that stretches from Canada to Mexico, black-footed ferrets today are North America's most endangered mammal. Totally dependent upon prairie dogs for food and shelter, black-footed ferrets fell victim to their own evolutionary specialization when prairie dog colonies were targeted for eradication because they were thought to interfere with ranching. An unparalleled campaign of poisoning, begun in the first half of this century, reduced prairie dogs to 2 percent of their original range. Black-footed ferrets, animals that once coexisted with hundreds of millions of prairie dogs, were thought by 1979 to be extinct. An insider's critique of endangered-species policy in action, Prairie Night combines an understanding of the biology and natural history of the black-footed ferret with a record of the often controversial decisions on how to save it. In the early 1980s, biologists discovered a few remaining ferrets in the wild. The authors, all of whom worked for many years on ferret recovery programs, describe the turf wars that erupted among state, federal, and private groups over whether and how to intervene. The fate of the black-footed ferret remains in question - especially as programs to poison prairie dogs continue at the government's expense. Capturing the full scope of the issue, this book reveals that it involves the survival of an ecosystem and the future of endangered-species policy.
