THE MAN IN THE RED SUIT
TEMPLETON, BRUCE
During the past 33 years, St. John's businessman Bruce Templeton has devoted the month of December to
visiting children and assisting Santa Claus. At school parties, country clubs, or in the critical-care unit of
hospitals, young people ask him profound questions about Santa Claus and the true meaning of Christmas.
Templeton has collected hundreds of stories and questions during more than 1000 visits – some of them curious,
some happy, and some heartbreaking. In his memoir of three decades he shares some of the most unforgettable
questions. Templeton always tries to bring hope and joy through his visits, but he often finds it is the children who
change his life and the lives of those who assist him on these extraordinary journeys.

MANKIND
TOLER, PAMELA
In conjunction with History Channel’s hit television series by the same name, Mankind is a sweeping history of
humans from the birth of the Earth and hunting antelope in Africa’s Rift Valley to the present day with the
completion of the Genome project and the birth of the seven billionth human. Like a Hollywood action movie,
Mankind is a fast-moving, adventurous history of key events from each major historical epoch that directly affect
us today such as the invention of iron, the beginning of Buddhism, the crucifixion of Jesus, the fall of Rome, the
invention of the printing press, the Industrial Revolution, and the invention of the computer.
