March Book Updates, Week 2

These books of interest to the folklorist are appearing this week.  Are you as excited as I am about this?  

• May Day Festivals in America, 1830 to the Present - Allison Thompson.  Amazon lists this as out-of-print, but is still listed as a new release.  
• Oxford Companion to World Mythology - David Leeming.  Paperback.
• Masculinity and Popular Television - Rebecca Feasey.  This has a kick-ass picture of Jack Bauer on the cover (Jack Bauer jokes are awesome, my favorite: Jack Bauer is Arabic for "Oh Shit!")  And, yes, my definition of folklore is probably broader than yours.
• The Parting of The Sea: How Volcanoes, Earthquakes, and Plagues Shaped the Story of Exodus - Barbara J. Sivertsen.
