Red Dead's History A Video Game, an Obsession, and America's Violent Past.
Olsson, Tore C.
Red Dead Redemption and Red Dead Redemption II, set in 1911 and 1899, are the most-played American history video games since The Oregon Trail. Award-winning American history professor Tore Olsson weaves the games' plot and characters into an exploration of American violence between 1870 and 1920, showing that it was more often disputes over capitalism and race, not just poker games and bank robberies, that fuelled the bloodshed of these turbulent years. Olsson reveals the gritty and brutal world that inspired the games, but sometimes lacks context and complexity on the digital screen. Print run 60,000.

Tiger, Tiger : his life, as it's never been told before
Patterson, James, 1947-, author
2024
"The impossible life of Tiger Woods--how did he become the G.O.A.T., what drove him to fall so spectacularly, and how has he made his way back to the pinnacle of golf? In Patterson's hands, Tiger's story is an unputdownable thriller. On April 13, 1986, ten-year-old Tiger Woods watches his idol, Jack Nicklaus, win his record sixth Masters. Just over a decade later, chants of "Ti-ger, Ti-ger!" ring out as the twenty- one-year-old wins his first Green Jacket. He blazes an incredible path, winning fourteen major titles (second only to Nicklaus himself) by the time he's thirty-three, smashing records and raising standards. Then come multiple public scandals and potentially career-ending injuries. The once-assured champion becomes an all-American underdog. "YouTube golfer" is how his two children know their father--winless since 2013--until he wins the 2019 Masters, his fifteenth major, before their eyes. But the story doesn't end there. Tiger, Tiger is the first full-scale Woods biography of the decade. In James Patterson's hands, this story is a hole-in-one thriller." --Provided by publisher.
