The Lloyd Haynes Story
"Superbly written. It is pure magic, just like the photograph! You are a wonderful writer. You pull the reader into the shoes of, Lloyd....Just great." Ty Copeman "The story of Lloyd Haynes is an important one--well beyond his time spent on a beloved TV show. His life was rich, full, and extremely difficult on many levels. And it's a story of the changing--and unchanging--culture of America in the 1960s-1980s. The author, Carolyn Haynes, was the late actor's wife. She is able to bring an inside perspective to the story, but this is more than a memoir. It's a carefully researched biography too. Mr. Haynes deserves nothing less."

The Demon of the Continent
In recent years, the study and teaching of Native American oral and written art have flourished. During the same period, there has been a growing recognition among historians, anthropologists, and ethnohistorians that Indians must be seen not as the voiceless, nameless, faceless Other but as people who had a powerful impact on the historical development of the United States. Literary critics, however, have continued to overlook Indians as determinants of American—rather than specifically Native American—literature. The notion that the presence of Indian peoples shaped American literature as a whole remains unexplored. In The Demon of the Continent, Joshua David Bellin probes the complex ...
Accumulating Lives
Praise for OPPOSABLE LIVES, Volume One of an Autobiography "I found it fascinating. . . . There are very few people who could write an interesting and entertaining autobiography." Mary Arntfield "A wonderful read!. . . tender and insightful, straight-forward and honest." Bill Guest "What a wonderful gift!. . . it's extremely well written, flows lucidly an easy while highly perceptive read." John Davis "I love your witty title. Opposable thumbs led to curiosity, experimentation, imagining, growth in intellect. Opposable Lives' generates these, and much, much more." Thomas Whitbread "I thoroughly enjoyed it." Brian Carnahan
The Woman with the Flying Head and Other Stories
This is an English-language anthology dedicated to the short stories of Kurahashi Yumiko (1935-), a Japanese novelist of profound intellectual powers. The eleven stories included in this volume suggest the breadth of the author's literary production, ranging from parodies of classical Japanese literature to cosmopolitan avant-garde works, from quasi-autobiography to science fiction. Her subversive fiction defies established definitions of "literature", "Japan", "modernity" and "femininity", and represents an important intellectual aspect of modern Japanese women's literature.
Guerrilla Diplomacy
In 1960 revolutionaries in South Viet Nam created the National Liberation Front, a political and military organization committed to overthrowing the Saigon government and liberating Viet Nam south of the seventeenth parallel. The role of the NLF during the war has been hotly debated, with officials in Washington claiming from the outset that the NLF was merely a puppet of Hanoi. Based on over a hundred interviews with former Communist cadre and high ranking Party officials as well as extensive archival research in Viet Nam, Robert K. Brigham's is a definitive work that provides a focus on the NLF not found elsewhere. It contributes greatly to our understanding of the Viet Nam War and encoura...
Globalization and Belonging
In the decades since the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on the United States forces of cultural, economic, and political integration appear locked in battle with equally powerful forces of fragmentation. Globalization is facilitating unprecedented movement of goods, services, people, and ideas, while calls for building walls, erecting fences, and strengthening borders intensify. Tensions flare around claims of deeply rooted ethnic and civilizational identities—identities that are shaped and mobilized via sophisticated advances in technology. Women worldwide are achieving remarkable economic and political gains while sexual violence and gender inequalities persist and are fueled by rapid global change. This book explores the complex inter-relationship between globalization and belonging. In a hyper-modern, 21st-century world, questions and conflicts surrounding who ‘we’ are and who ‘we’ want to be predominate. This book links the politics of different forms of identification and attachment to the dynamics of an increasingly interconnected world.
Crime and Justice at the Millennium
Ira Lipman Marvin Wolfgang was the greatest criminologist in the United States of America in the last half of the 20th century, if not the entire century. We first met on March 3, 1977, in Philadelphia. I sought him out after his work with Edwin Newman's NBC Reports: Violence in America. He was a tender, loving, caring individual who loved excellence-whether it be an intellectual challenge, the arts or any other pursuit. It is a great privilege to take part in honoring Marvin Wolfgang, a great American. Our approaches to the subject of crime came from different perspectives one as a researcher and the other as the founder of one of the world's largest security services companies. We both wan...
