The Image Taker: The Selected Stories and
Photographs of Edward S. Curtis

by Gerald Hausman (Author) Bob Kapoun (Editor), Joe Medicine Crow (Foreword) Paperback: 192 pages Publisher: World Wisdom (June 25, 2009)

ISBN-10: 1933316705 ISBN-13: 978-1933316703

The work of Edward Curtis captures forever the images, myths, and histories of a vanishing age. The Image Taker features essential selections of photographs and the seldom- seen tribal stories recorded and preserved by Curtis in his 20-volume masterpiece, The North American Indian, offering the reader a bridge through time to the last generation of Indians from the Buffalo Days of pre-reservation life.

Editorial Review

"Curtis' firsthand accounts of his 30-year encounters with Native American tribes from all over the country, including Alaska, make for informative reading...in writing about the history of indigenous nations, as well as relaying certain creation stories put to him by tribal elders, Curtis' words are invaluable documents, particularly when read in context with corresponding photographs."

Time Swimmer (Island Fiction)

by Gerald Hausman (Author) Reading level: Ages 4-8 Paperback: 192 pages Publisher: MacMillan Caribbean (January 30, 2009) ISBN-10: 1405098988

ISBN-13: 978-1405098984

"Time Swimmer" is the story of a young Jamaican, Luke, who befriends an ancient storytelling sea turtle, Odysseus. Together they travel through Caribbean time, righting wrongs and saving lives - the pirate, Henry Morgan, for one; and Cyparis, the only survivor of the Pelee volcano that killed 28,000 people in Martinique in 1902, to name another. The novel is full of spiders that are men and lizards that are gods. All mixed together in a pepperpot stew of fantastic spice that blends fiery history with delectable fantasy.

Editorial Reviews

"This tale begins with a startling event quite unlike any other readers have to come to expect of literature for ‘tweens and young adults. The unexpected is what puts this novel in a category of its own. More than just a good adventure yarn, Gerald Hausman marries classical and Jamaican mythology to give young Luke the ride of his life on the back of old Odysseus. ... Time Swimmer is as much about the power and timelessness of story telling as it is about the mysteries of time itself, questions profound enough for the elderly to ponder, let alone the young. ... Apart from exposing children to worlds that fire their imaginations, school librarians and teachers might find other reasons for recommending or reading Time Swimmer to students. The book is fun to read, reason enough you might say. But it also raises engaging questions for discussion, in a way that respects the ability of the young to think quite deeply when stimulated by questions that take them seriously.... Time Swimmer also would be an excellent way to explore with students how myth and stories travel across cultures. And it could be a delightful accompaniment to a unit on the classical world or on the African Diaspora in the Caribbean. It might even sow a little seed of curiosity so that, one day, some of those same students might remember once hearing a story of Odysseus and a boy called Luke and be stirred to pick up and open that ancient, timeless chronicle, The Odyssey, to learn more."

The Boy From Nine Miles: The Early Life of Bob Marley

by Cedella Marley, Gerald Hausman, Mariah Fox (Illustrator) Hardcover - 64 pages (April 2002) Hampton Roads Pub Co;
ISBN: 1571742824

A core curriculum book chosen by the Jamaican Ministry of Education for inclusion in all upper primary and lower secondary levels of the school system of Jamaica.

From the Inside Flap
Bob Marley's music is known around the globe. The BBC selected "One Love" as the anthem of the millenium and Time magazine declared "EXODUS" the album of the twentieth century. However, while much has been said about the man and his music, very little has been written about his childhood and the influences that made him into the most important artist to give voice to the third world.

Alive with the vivid colors of Jamaica, "The Boy From Nine Miles" begins in the small village where Nesta Robert Marley opened his eyes to the world. The story moves to the markets and streets of Kingston. Here, separated from his family, the five-year-old boy first felt the pain and sorrows of poverty. During his year-long stay in Kingston, the young Marley also found the music that was in his heart. By the time he returned to Nine Miles, he knew he would be a singer.

Eloquently told by Cedella Marley and Gerald Hausman, "The Boy From Nine Miles" is illustrated by Mariah Fox in the folk art style of Jamaica. Complete with additional biographical material, a discography, Jamaican glossary, and a brief time-line, "The Boy From Nine Miles" is a wonderful introduction to Bob Marley that readers of all ages will cherish and enjoy.

From The Ruminiator Review "Much of this intriguing biography describes Marley's early life in such fateful terms--as though he was born to become an influential musician and beacon for the Jamaican people. Cedella Marley, the revered performer's daughter, and Gerald Hausman so successfully capture a child's point of view, however, that The Boy From Nine Miles comes alive beneath its mythic cast. Rich, rhythmic language, rife with biblical imagery, conjures the young Nesta's idyllic farm life with his beloved Mumma and Grandfather..." Christine Alfano

Hausman deftly weaves together several versions of this tale...with beautiful vivid language, he conveys the interconnectedness between Native Americans and the natural world and the gifts each gives.

The five stories in this handsome book pay homage to the noble animal that has carried humans through history. In lively tales that vary in tone to reflect different cultures, the Hausmans introduce the brave Arabian, the hardy American mustang, a magic humpbacked horse from Russia, a ghostchasing horse from Tahiti, and the heroic Karabair of ancient Armenia. Robert Florczak also uses a variety of styles to capture each country and breed in his arresting paintings.Together, authors and artist have created a distinguished, highly entertaining tribute to those racers and jumpers, warriors and carriers, healers and stealers of the

Editorial Reviews

"The Hausman's follow up Cats of Myth with a briefer but similarly world-spanning set of horse stories, each one retold in an idiom evocative of its origins and backed up by closing comments about featured breeds and source notes...Matching style to setting, Florczak gives his full-page and full-spread paintings distinctive looks for each engaging tale." - John Peters, Booklist

"These five tales each feature a different type of horse, remarkable for both its individuality and the qualities representative of its breed. In each case, the animal plays an important–or even life-changing–role in the existence of its human owner (or, perhaps better, partner)... Florczak's illustrations adapt characteristics appropriate to the locations and time periods of each selection's origins: from the stylized, almost lacquered look of the tales from Asia to the rich tropics suggestive of Gauguin to the comical cowboy in The Mustang. ...This is an attractive volume, useful to teachers and librarians for read-alouds and of interest to horse-loving youngsters." - Renner, School Library Journal

It's July 4, 1845. A soft-spoken young man named Henry David Thoreau has carefully constructed a small, simple cabin in the woods overlooking Walden Pond. For the next two years, his closest companions will be the chickadees, the woodchucks, and the quiet pines of the Walden Woods.
Henry is twenty-eight years old, and his life has not been easy. His brother John—his closest friend and companion—has died. The only woman he ever loved has rejected him. On this day he has come to Walden in search of truth—not the truth taught in schools or in church, but the truth he can feel dwelling deep within him.
Henry opens his journal and begins to write:

I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential
facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not,
when I came to die, discover that I had not lived.

Follow Henry into the woods and out again—through a courageous American life that has changed our world for the better.

The Hausmans introduce the life of Henry David Thoreau in a series of short, anecdotal chapters, each centered on one, often small event in the writer's life. The authors frequently use dialogue in their accounts; however, as they explain in their introduction, the "dialogue is crafted out of Henry's own statements."

The author, Six tales built on legends of Africa and the Caribbean.

School Library Journal called this book

"...one of the very few collections of West Indian folklore available for children." However, I have discovered that adults enjoy the book as much as young people do; for everyone likes a good ghost story, and these are told by different narrators whom I knew on the north coast of Jamaica. Each one tells the tale as he or she first heard it as a child. These storytellers are credited and quoted at the back of each tale. Jamaican author James Berry called the book a collection of "incredible happenings" which reminded him of his own youth.

Tom Cringle : Battle on the High Seas

ISBN-10: 0689828101 ISBN-13: 978-0689828102

I, Tom Cringle, two days before my thirteenth birthday, have made the decision of my life: to go to sea. Just two and a half weeks after Tom makes this bold declaration, he sets sail aboard the Bream as a midshipman in England's navy. The War of 1812 is raging, and Tom's ship is headed for Jamaica to patrol the waters against pirates.

Tom finds all the adventure he ever dreamed of -- and then some. Within his first few months as a sailor, he's caught in a life-and-death battle with a mysterious ghost ship, is rescued from a shipwreck by his faithful dog, Sneezer, survives an earthquake, and is kidnapped by Obediah Glasgow, a fierce and dangerous pirate for whom Tom develops an unexpected loyalty.

Tom Cringle: Battle on the High Seas is a fast-paced and gripping story of life on the high seas, of conflicting allegiances, and of finding friends where they are least expected. But most all, it is the tale of a boy who seeks a personal code of honor to guide him through unpredictable and perilous times. Tom's earnest, honest voice and the dynamic and memorable characters he meets make this an irresistible coming-of-age story that will resonate with readers long after they've turned the final page.

A fourteen-year-old's heart-stopping sea adventure!

There's not too much time to worry though, because suddenly Tom finds himself off the coast of Jamaica: chasing elusive slave ships, fighting man-eating sharks, and enduring brutal battles.
Tom struggles with his conscience as he is ordered to travel across swampy wilderness to return a group of stolen slaves back to their master's plantation. Suddenly men are depending on Tom to save their very lives as they travel through uncharted territory with angry and vengeful pirates on their trail. And once again Tom tests his limits as he stands up for what he believes is right, even when authorities disagree with him.

From Booklist

"...the melodic verses of the text, written in rustic awed tones and full of the lilt of roots reggae lyrics, take aim at true believers...inspirational, informational, melodious stuff." --Mike Tribby

From Library Journal

Folklorist and author Hausman has combined ten years of informal study in Jamaica, the 1922 version of "The Queen of Sheba and Her Only Son Menyelek" (translated by E.A. Wallis Budge), the Koran, the King James Bible, and the words of reggae great Bob Marley into a new version of the Kebra Negast ("the glory of the Kings"). This "lost bible," the core of Rastafarian wisdom and faith, has survived through oral tradition in many Caribbean nations, even though it has been banned because of its African glory themes. Hausman effectively puts the Kebra Negast into the words of the Rastafarian community, presenting the core?that "we must learn to live by the laws of compassion rather than judgment" through anecdotes from the author's travels in the Rasta community. A recommended introduction to the Kebra Negast. L. Kriz, West Des Moines Lib., Iowa Copyright 1997 Reed Business Information

Moser's characteristically striking design portrays the akita and basenji, spaniel and shar-pei as if the dogs posed for portrait sittings.
