Spotlight on: untamed Western New York

Gifted photographer David Lawrence Reade is back with another stunning collection of his work, Western New York Wild. In full-color majesty, his images reveal a breathtaking world right next to our own.

Sections of the book explore the region's amazing autumn colors, peaceful forests, and fascinating wildlife. Western New York Wild also includes a "Wild Guide" -- a list of David's own favorite Western New York sites, in which to see and explore nature.


It was two years ago that Sister Karen Klimczak was murdered at Buffalo's Bissonette House, by one of the ex-offenders she spent her life helping. It was an untimely and sad end to a life dedicated to non-violence. Her legacy carries on in Peaceprints: Sister Karen's Paths To Nonviolence.

Each copy of this warm book includes the Emmy-nominated DVD, Apostle of Peace. Through her own journal entries, and interviews with some of those who knew her best, Sister Karen's hopes for a nonviolent future can be imagined.


The Buffalo native whose time in City Hall had a heavy impact on the city, Jimmy Griffin, passed away May 25, 2008, at the age of 78.

Griffin was a Korean war veteran, a Common Councilmember, a State Senator, and then mayor for an unprecedented four terms. Along the way, he also ran for Erie County Executive -- and even President of the United States.

During his colorful time running the show in Buffalo, he was a controversial figure, but rarely at a loss for words. In The World According To Griffin, you'll find an amazing collection of quotes and anecdotes.
