Jenkins, Carol
Two articles regarding the murder of Carol Jenkins in Martinsville, Indiana in 1968. The murder has remained a cold case and the articles discuss the reopening, the history of Martinsville and its ties to the KKK, and the history of the case.
Xn
XN might be the shortest poem possible between two letters, a mathematical metaphor for poetry, shorthand for a process that takes something specific and transforms it into something more intensely itself. Jenkins' second collection begins pre-big bang, and proceeds, democratically investigating life. Is she mining the everyday for the sake of linguistic high jinks, or hijacking language to celebrate where we're at? Here we find a penchant for the absurd, a playful elucidation of everything from the concept of zero to the history of burnt toast, a subversion of historical methods, road trips and set theory, butter and death. Wry and lucid, wide-ranging and witty, this is exactly what you need to read.
Ethics and the Profession of Anthropology
This revised second edition of Ethics and the Profession of Anthropology renews the challenge to anthropologists to engage in a dialogue concerning their commitment to professional ethical conduct. Containing a majority of new chapters, the authors redefine what it means to conduct anthropological research ethically in a discipline that is now less isolated from allied fields in the physical and behavioral sciences and coming to terms with the global changes that affect its practice. Fluehr-Lobban provides an overview of issues from the past 110 years, drawing attention to the need for maintaining the ethical core of the discipline and a code of professional responsibility.

The Girl in the Yellow Scarf
A "Seven Dollar Secret" an impossible choice... In 1968, a young black woman was brutally murdered on the streets of Martinsville, Indiana. Carol Jenkins' stabbing death appeared racially motivated. For thirty years, there were no arrests. The case sat dormant until unsettled rumors, a family's pursuit of justice, and a new State Police Cold Case unit all came together to confront the past. Investigative Reporter, Sandra Chapman was on the case too, uncovering startling new facts, and prompting a break in the murder mystery that eluded so many for decades. A child witness, a long-held secret and the admirable determination of the victim's family all play into this suspenseful, dramatic true crime story. It's skillfully recounted by the reporter who lived it - and often told through the eyes of a daughter who had to make a painful choice - between her own father and the lives impacted by the Martinsville Mystery forever.--p. 4 of cover.
Black Titan
The grandson of slaves, born into poverty in 1892 in the Deep South, A. G. Gaston died more than a century later with a fortune worth well over $130 million and a business empire spanning communications, real estate, and insurance. Gaston was, by any measure, a heroic figure whose wealth and influence bore comparison to J. P. Morgan and Andrew Carnegie. Here, for the first time, is the story of the life of this extraordinary pioneer, told by his niece and grandniece, the award-winning television journalist Carol Jenkins and her daughter Elizabeth Gardner Hines. Born at a time when the bitter legacy of slavery and Reconstruction still poisoned the lives of black Americans, Gaston was determin...
Fishing in the Devonian
Carol Jenkins writes what are probably the best 'scientific' poems in Australia, making the science seem effortlessly familiar and intrinsic to human relationships, including immersion in nature other than human. This is fresh and exciting writing that reveals the interconnectedness of things in ways that others' nature poetry and eco-poetry might seek to emulate.
Notorious 92
Hoosiers witness their share of human darkness. Stoner delves into this dark side with a look at the most heinous murders that have taken place in each of Indiana's 92 counties.
Select Episodes from the Mr Farmhand Series
Follow the adventures of Mr Farmhand as he negotiates a rural existence in New Jersey, staving off the attentions of Mavis Eggwhistle, staying one step ahead of Frank Winkler and steering clear of Farmer Bart Brassica's pitchfork. His is a world full of unexpected dangers, from the odd satirical skirmish to the surprise philosophical poke in the eye, where gossip takes centre stage and life is lived on the margins. It's a tough gig, but somebody has to do it. Select Episodes from the Mr Farmhand Series is perhaps the first literary work to feature instant polenta and dirty snow in the same sentence. It does not so much occupy a new literary genre as create one - an episodic play of pun-laden...
