It seemed the falcon would best fit the bill, and Falconry At The United States Air Force Academy tells of the performing mascot's importance to the Academy, as well as the overall history of falconry.

Gotta love Mr. Met
I'm a big fan so I had to get this to read to my 1 year old.It was a little pricey but it was worth it.

Mets
Gave this as a shower gift to my sister in law.Her husband is a big Mets fan and would love to read this book to his new child

Cute Book!
Cute little book for fans of the Mets and their children. The pictures and good and the story line is basic and straightforward. I thought it was interesting that the Home Run Apple was not shown when the home run was hit. This is a big part of Shea/the Mets that does not appear in the book.

Fun bookfor little Mets fans.
Great book. My son loves it. I read it to him every night. We are already on our 2nd copy. ... Read more

Product Description
Sports mascots have been a tradition for decades. Along with the usual lions and tigers, many schools are represented by Native American images. Once considered a benign practice, numerous studies have proved just the opposite: that the use of Native American mascots in educational institutions has perpetuated a shameful history of racial insensitivity. The Native American Mascot Controversy provides an overview of the issues that have been associated with this topic for the past 40 years.The book provides a comprehensive and critical account of the issues surrounding the controversy, explicating the importance of anti-Indian racism in education and how it might be challenged. A collection of important primary documents and an extensive list of resources for further study are also included. Expounding the dangers and damages associated with their continued use, The Native American Mascot Controversy is a useful guide for anyone with an interest in race relations. ... Read more
