The Emperor of Ocean Park by Stephen L. Carter, ISBN 055371337X

An extraordinary fiction debut: a large, stirring novel of suspense that is, at the same time, a work of brilliantly astute social observation." The Emperor of Ocean Park is set in two privileged worlds: the upper crust African American society of the eastern seaboard--old families who summer on Martha's Vineyard--and the inner circle of an Ivy League law school. It tells the story of a complex family with a single, seductive link to the shadowlands of crime.
The Emperor of the title, Judge Oliver Garland, has just died, suddenly. A brilliant legal mind, conservative and famously controversial, Judge Garland made more enemies than friends. Many years before, he'd earned a judge's highest prize: a Supreme Court nomination. But in a scene of bitter humiliation, televised across the country, his nomination collapsed in scandal. The humbling defeat became a private agony, one from which he never recovered.
But now the Judge's death raises even more questions--and it seems to be leading... The Emperor of Ocean Park by Stephen L. Carter, ISBN 055371337X

Body & Soul: Notebooks of an Apprentice Boxer by Loic J. D. Wacquant, ISBN 0195168356

When French sociologist Loic Wacquant signed up at a boxing gym in a black neighborhood of Chicago's South Side, he had never contemplated getting close to a ring. Yet for three years he immersed himself among Local fighters. He Learned the Sweet Science of bruising, participating in all phases of the pugilist's preparation. In this experimental ethnography, the scholar-turned-boxer supplies a model for a "carnal sociology" capable of capturing "the taste and ache of action." Breaking with the prefabricated images of the heroic champion stepping into the limelight, Wacquant focuses on ordinary boxers in their everyday environment of the gym. He reveals them to be devoted artisans of the virile body who hone an honorific craft, share a protective sociability, and seek recognition and redemption in the closed brotherhood of the ring. He shows how the gym functions at once as a sanctuary against the dangers of the street and a school of discipline in which occupational morality is literally...

Butterfly House by Eve Bunting, ISBN 0590848844

WHEN THE LITTLE GIRL saves a tiny caterpillar from a hungry jay, her grandfather helps her make a butterfly house to keep it safe.

They decorate it with colorful flowers and leaves, and the girl watches over the larva as it transforms from caterpillar, to chrysalis, to butterfly. All too soon, it is time to set it free. But even as the years pass, and the young girl grows old, something amazing happens each spring. Butterflies come to her garden -- filling the air like autumn leaves! Could they be coming back to return the kindness that the little girl had shown so long ago?

Eve Bunting's lyrical language and Greg Shed's sun-kissed paintings make for a brilliant celebration of nature, spring, and the cycle of life.
