A Visual History of Walking Sticks and Canes
A comprehensive study of walking canes from around the world, dating from the distant past to the modern-day. The book presents a historical context on both practical and ceremonial usage.

Absolute Greed
Name-calling and mudslinging permeate the election campaign for Great Britain's office of prime minister. Two leading candidates, Howard Spencer and Adam Baldwin, both covet the powerful position and will do anything to get it. Spencer can taste victory, but he knows one thing that will guarantee it. He asks his ex-girlfriend, Baldwin's spoiled and selfish wife, Angela, to drag Baldwin into a scandal so horrific that his political career will be ruined forever. With the promise of five million pounds and a future as Mrs. Prime Minister, Angela agrees, ruthlessly using her own eleven-year-old daughter to entrap Baldwin in an unspeakable crime. When the scandal hits the news, Baldwin loses his political standing-and his reputation. Now, desperate for the truth, Baldwin searches for answers and uncovers a maelstrom of lies, deceit, and murder. From the halls of Parliament to the streets of London, Absolute Greed explores the secret, and sometimes deadly, lives of politicians.

Waking the Tiger is a novel set in late-1950s Sri Lanka, a country at the edge of a gathering storm of violence. Feinberg weaves a complex story of the clash between cultures and castes, expats and ex-colonials, Hindu swamis and Buddhist priests, politicians and entrepeneurs, Sinhalese and Tamils, idealism and realism. Filled with vivid accounts of local customs and locales, Waking the Tiger sardonically describes the underbelly of an apparent paradise. Feinberg lived in Sri Lanka with his family from 1957-1958, when he was Fulbright lecturer in American Literature at the University of Ceylon.
