Sculpture Woods
"On the occasion of Ann Morris's tenth birthday, her grandmother surprised her with the naturalist's gift of a turtle shell and a pair of preserved grouse wings. The life and death cycles young Ann witnessed as she roamed Mid-western woods and fields had already impressed her with their karmic theater and soul-plumbing beauty. In her childish reveries she imagined herself a priestess with domain over the living and the dead. As she now weighed these perfect self-made objects in her hands, she recognized them as being spirit and natural artifact at once, winding her mind into a delicious tension that would energize a lifelong fascination with myths and imagery of the mortal coil. Six decades later Morris has become a priestess of sorts - investing her mind and sprit into an ambitious oeuvre of figurative bronzes that speak with a singular and meditative voice."--BOOK JACKET.

Digging in the Southwest
This book is about Jock Campbell's role in the shaping of British Guiana (Guyana) towards the end of the empire. Campbell, the head of the Booker Company which owned most of the sugar plantations in colonial Guyana, was a reformer whose Fabian socialist beliefs drove him to secure major benefits for sugar workers, in the 1950s-60s. It explores the interplay between Campbell's programme of reforms and the doctrinaire Marxism of Guyana's charismatic politician Cheddi Jagan. "Sweetening bitter sugar" is part biography, part history and politics.
