The Lost Cry
Two young women die at a private New England college twenty years apart. Yet the deaths are related by a Greek fraternity and sorority. An African-American professor and provost of the college wants to find out who's responsible, but the college president and dean of students want the investigation stopped. A mobster whose son is involved also wants it to stop and is willing to blackmail the professor to see that it is dropped. He knows something about the professor's father (who was supposedly killed while in the army) that could ruin the professor's career and reputation. But professor is willing to sacrifice all to find the truth. The Pittsburgh Courier says, "We see how no measure of justice will restore the lives lost and realize that this book is Donham's call to action for prevention of sexual assault and alcohol abuse on our college campuses. Ultimately, the book succeeds in starkly emphasizing the need for more meaningful teaching and learning and less misogyny, debauchery and disrespect."
Zen Bytes
These Zen Bytes present singular, yet complex images in the space of fourteen syllables. They portray an image around which the reader can build a personal story or recall a moment of time. Zen Bytes are instant pictures wherein insight and understanding can be grasped immediately or ruminated over. They are bytes because they take up such small but important space.
My Four Husbands and Me
Margaret Armatage drives a Cadillac. Not bad for a small town girl who, at fourteen, was left orphaned and penniless with her sister Betty, in the care of their drinking and gambling brother. Within a year or two Margaret was longing for the protection of a good man in a happy marriage that her sister found. She was not so lucky. Instead she married an abusive older man. No father figure, Jack was unpredictable and mean, with a desire for sex that had no love in it. When the couple moved to Kamloops, Margaret went to work in a dress shop and a local jewelry store. Her English parents taught her good manners; now she learned how to dress. Her classic good looks and new sense of style before l...
My Fourth Husband and Me
Margaret Armatage and her fourth husband, Colin, fell in love, travelled the globe, planted gardens, entertained friends and proved that there is plenty of life after 60. When Colin died and Margaret found herself on her own again, she decided that she would not remarry. Four husbands, two of the best, Ted and Colin, and two of the worst, Jack and Lou, were enough for her. Shaky at first, she then set out to prove that she could live the single life and enjoy it. Now in her eighties, she is still seeing the world, still living in her own home and, as she has done throughout her life, living on her own terms! This is the story of Margaret and her fourth husband, and her life after Colin died.
Lincoln Memorial University and the Shaping of Appalachia
Located near Cumberland Gap in the rugged hills of East Tennessee, Lincoln Memorial University (LMU) was founded in 1897 to help disadvantaged Appalachian youth and reward the descendents of Union loyalists in the region. Its founder was former Union General Oliver Otis Howard, a personal friend of Abraham Lincoln, who made it his mission to sustain an institution of higher learning in the mountain South that would honor the memory of the Civil War president. In Lincoln Memorial University and the Shaping of Appalachia, LMU Professor Earl J. Hess presents a highly readable and compelling history of the school. Yet the book is much more than a chronology of past events. The author uses the in...
Late Woodland Societies
Archaeologists across the Midwest have pooled their data and perspectives to produce this indispensable volume on the Native cultures of the Late Woodland period (approximately A.D. 300?1000). Sandwiched between the well-known Hopewellian and Mississippian eras of monumental mound construction, theøLate Woodland period has received insufficient attention from archaeologists, who have frequently characterized it as consisting of relatively drab artifact assemblages. The close connections between this period and subsequent Mississippian and Fort Ancient societies, however, make it especially valuable for cross-cultural researchers. Understanding the cultural processes at work during the Late ...
