The Community Market cooperative catalog
Rare Books
"The community market cooperative catalog is a book of economic alternatives--co-ops, poor people's groups, collectives, intentional communities, and communes working to create a producer/consumer coalition trading in handmade goods, camping gear, yarn, toys, photographic equipment, clothing, furniture, bicycles, and publications. Included are articles on the theory behind counter-economy, where it is working and how; about vertical networks from co-op farms to urban buying groups. And there is a section on resources that tells where to learn blacksmithing, where to get medical and legal services, how to join a food co-op, how to develop alternative sources of energy--how, in fact, to do everything necessary to become part of the community market"--Back cover.

A country of strangers : blacks and whites in America
Rare Books
A Country of Strangers is a magnificent exploration of the psychological landscape where blacks and whites meet. To tell the story in human rather than abstract terms, the Pulitzer Prize-winning writer David K. Shipler bypasses both extremists and celebrities and takes us among ordinary Americans as they encounter one another across racial lines. We learn how blacks and whites see each other, how they interpret each other's behavior, and how certain damaging images and assumptions seep into the actions of even the most unbiased. We penetrate into dimensions of stereotyping and discrimination that are usually invisible, and discover the unseen prejudices and privileges of white Americans, and what black Americans make of them.

She does hope to play in a future tournament and would "love to see the beauties of the Ojai Valley."
