Paperback. Condition: Good. Make no mistake: Our founding fathers were more bandanas-and-muscles than powdered-wigs-and-tea.   As a prisoner of war, Andrew Jackson walked several miles barefoot across state lines while suffering from smallpox and a serious head wound received when he refused to polish the boots of the soldiers who had taken him captive. He was thirteen years old. A few decades later, he became the first popularly elected president and served the nation, pausing briefly only to beat a would-be assassin with a cane to within an inch of his life. Theodore Roosevelt had asthma, was blind in one eye, survived multiple gunshot wounds, had only one regret (that there were no wars to fight under his presidency), and was the first U.S. president to win the Medal of Honor, which he did after he died. Faced with the choice, George Washington actually preferred the sound of bullets whizzing by his head in battle over the sound of silence.   And now these men--these hallowed leaders of the free world--want to kick your ass.   Plenty of historians can tell you which president had the most effective economic strategies, and which president helped shape our current political parties, but can any of them tell you what to do if you encounter Chester A. Arthur in a bare-knuckled boxing fight? This book will teach you how to be better, stronger, faster, and more deadly than the most powerful (and craziest) men in history. You're welcome. Rowntree, Winston (illustrator).…

Hardback. Condition: Good. As a rookie baseball player on the Los Angeles Dodgers, Glenn Burke could do it all-hit, throw, catch, score. As a teammate, he was the heart of the clubhouse; he made fellow players laugh and energized them with his enthusiasm. In fact, his habit of congratulating his teammates led Burke to invent the high five-a spontaneous overhand slap that has evolved into an international gesture of connection, unity, and support. But despite creating such a joyful symbol, Burke wasn't always given support in return. As a Black gay man, he faced prejudice and obstacles almost everywhere he went, putting his career at stake and making his everyday life difficult. Glenn Burke, Game Changer recognizes this hardship while celebrating how Glenn's bravery and his now-famous handshake paved the way for others to live openly, truly, and freely. O'Brien, Daniel J. (illustrator).…
