 Friday, May 11 - Hoodang
Originally founded in 2003 and coming off an extended hiatus for songwriting, Hoodang is back in full swing. Sonically restless and critically lauded, this Ann Arbor-based alt-country outfit has been tapping into that gleaming vein of auditory gold that travels back into the early part of the last century. Drawing inspiration from the tradition of English murder ballads, hardcore American country music, and careful-you'll-cut-yourself electric blues, the band plays a shape-shifting amalgam of original American roots music. Lead vocalist and main songwriter David Rossiter sings of people tarnished by bad blood and bad luck who still find ways to make it through to the next town, day, marriage, crime, or bottle. http://hoodang.com
 Saturday, May 12 -
The Hackwells
The Hackwells consist of John Dobat, Jeff Schott, and Brian McCarty. The trio has an eclectic style - a sound that ignites a good time, while also presenting beautiful and rich original ballads inspired by the trio's love of acoustic folk, pop/rock, retro-style country music and Americana. Though they share much in common, each band member brings a unique sound and presence to their performances. All in all, it's a combination you won't want to miss! www.reverbnation.com/thehackwells

 Mary, Queen of Angels
(Hardcover)
By Doreen Virtue
List Price: $19.95
Our Price: $13.97
(Save: $5.99 30%)
Mary, Queen of Angels is a nondenominational book that follows in the successful vein of two of Doreen Virtue's previous works, The Healing Miracles of Archangel Raphael and The Miracles of Archangel Michael. Within these pages, Doreen brings forth a collection of true stories from people who have experienced dramatic healings by, and visitations from, Mary. Doreen ties these stories together by category-with comments and narrative for those who wish to deepen their own connection to Mary and the angels.
Mary, Queen of Angels is for people of all faiths and beliefs. It is filled with prayers for various life situations, fascinating discussions about the history of Mary, and details about geographic locations where there have been sightings of her.
 Manthropology: The Science of Why the Modern Male Is Not the Man He Used to Be
(Paperback)
By Peter McAllister
List Price: $14.99
Our Price: $10.49
(Save: $4.50 30%)
Featured in TheWall Street Journal and on ABC's Nightline,Manthropology is an entertaining and surprising look at manliness
Anthropologist Peter McAllister set out to prove once and for all that man today is the best man who has ever lived. But to his disappointment, in nearly every category he examined modern man was beaten by his ancestors.
Manthropology, then, is a look at male achievement-and underachievement. It kicks off in Ice Age France, where McAllister proves how a Neanderthal woman could beat even today's strongest strongman at arm wrestling. He looks at medieval Slavic poets who could take 50 Cent to school in a rap battle. And he takes readers to the jungles of Africa, where Aka Pygmy men have taken fatherhood to such extremes that they even grow breasts to suckle their children.
For the modern man, the results aren't always pretty. But Manthropology is unfailingly smart and entertaining.
How Does Modern Man Stack Up?
 Turn Right at Machu Picchu: Rediscovering the Lost City One Step at a Time
(Paperback)
By Mark Adams
List Price: $16.00
Our Price: $11.20
(Save: $4.80 30%)
What happens when an unadventurous adventure writer tries to re-create the original expedition to Machu Picchu?
In 1911, Hiram Bingham III climbed into the Andes Mountains of Peru and "discovered" Machu Picchu. While history has recast Bingham as a villain who stole both priceless artifacts and credit for finding the great archeological site, Mark Adams set out to retrace the explorer's perilous path in search of the truth-except he'd written about adventure far more than he'd actually lived it. In fact, he'd never even slept in a tent.
Turn Right at Machu Picchu is Adams' fascinating and funny account of his journey through some of the world's most majestic, historic, and remote landscapes guided only by a hard-as-nails Australian survivalist and one nagging question: Just what was Machu Picchu?
 Tomatoland: How Modern Industrial Agriculture Destroyed Our Most Alluring Fruit
(Paperback)
By Barry Estabrook
List Price: $15.99
Our Price: $11.19
(Save: $4.80 30%)
2012 IACP Award Winner in the Food Matters category
Supermarket produce sections bulging with a year-round supply of perfectly round, bright red-orange tomatoes have become all but a national birthright. But in Tomatoland, which is based on his James Beard Award-winning article, "The Price of Tomatoes," investigative food journalist Barry Estabrook reveals the huge human and environmental cost of the $5 billion fresh tomato industry. Fields are sprayed with more than one hundred different herbicides and pesticides. Tomatoes are picked hard and green and artificially gassed until their skins acquire a marketable hue. Modern plant breeding has tripled yields, but has also produced fruits with dramatically reduced amounts of calcium, vitamin A, and vitamin C, and tomatoes that have fourteen times more sodium than the tomatoes our parents enjoyed. The relentless drive for low costs has fostered a thriving modern-day slave trade in the United States. How have we come to this point?
Estabrook traces the supermarket tomato from its birthplace in the deserts of Peru to the impoverished town of Immokalee, Florida, a.k.a. the tomato capital of the United States. He visits the laboratories of seedsmen trying to develop varieties that can withstand the rigors of agribusiness and still taste like a garden tomato, and then moves on to commercial growers who operate on tens of thousands of acres, and eventually to a hillside field in Pennsylvania, where he meets an obsessed farmer who produces delectable tomatoes for the nation's top restaurants.
Throughout Tomatoland, Estabrook presents a who's who cast of characters in the tomato industry: the avuncular octogenarian whose conglomerate grows one out of every eight tomatoes eaten in the United States; the ex-Marine who heads the group that dictates the size, color, and shape of every tomato shipped out of Florida; the U.S. attorney who has doggedly prosecuted human traffickers for the past decade; and the Guatemalan peasant who came north to earn money for his parents' medical bills and found himself enslaved for two years.
Tomatoland reads like a suspenseful whodunit as well as an expose of today's agribusiness systems and the price we pay as a society when we take taste and thought out of our food purchases.
