The Man Who Killed His Wife (And What Happened Afterwards)
Maryanne Wilson's death was definitely an accident. Her husband, Bob, had absolutely no intention of killing her. But it was almost certain that a court of law would see things differently, particularly after Bob had sex with Maryanne’s corpse . . . and that was why Bob Wilson decided not to call in the police, but to seek an alternative solution to the problem he'd gotten himself into . . . . . . A solution that, unfortunately, only made matters a whole lot worse for him. But, to backtrack a little to the genesis of this momentous disaster . . . Everything began because Bob Wilson was working too hard and as a result was neglecting his loving wife, Maryanne. And so, Maryanne asked their upstairs neighbor, Jennifer, for help. Jennifer Haskins apparently knew a little magic, and so she cast a spell on Bob, one that would help Maryanne get laid on a more regular basis, like every night if she so desired. What could possibly go wrong with a simple arrangement like that? Everything you can't possibly imagine . . .

People and Land
Empires rise and expand by taking lands and resources and by enslaving the bodies and minds of people. Even in this modern era, the territories, geographies, and peoples of a number of lands continue to be divided, occupied, harvested, and marketed. The legacy of slavery and the scapegoating of people persists in many lands, and religious institutions have been co-opted to own land, to gather people, to define proper behavior, to mete out salvation, and to be silent. The contributors to People and Land, writing from under the shadows of various empires—from and in between Africa, Asia, the Americas, the Caribbean, and Oceania—refuse to be silent. They give voice to multiple causes: to as...

Good Green Homes
Green. It conjures images of a meadow in spring for some, and the color of money for others. What does "green" have to do with our homes? In essence, green building-or sustainable building-means being smart about how we use energy, water, and building materials so that we can live well without needlessly damaging the environment. Creating a good green home isn't just about conservation, about using less or saving more-although that's certainly part of it. It's about creating better homes that are easier on the environment, less expensive over the long term, and more delightful to come home to. That's the message Jennifer Roberts wants to share in Good Green Homes, the ultimate new guide for ...
