The Politics of Murder
This true crime investigation of a Boston teenager’s murder trial is “a chilling story about corruption, political power and a stacked judicial system" (John Ferak, author of Failure of Justice). On a hot night in July 1995, Janet Downing was stabbed ninety-eight times in her Somerville home, two miles northwest of Boston. Within hours, fifteen-year-old Eddie O’Brien was identified as the prime suspect. The best friend of one of Janet’s sons, Eddie was a peculiar choice.

Arctic Transformations
"The Wallaces' innovative jewelry explores a contemporary style that is rooted in the traditions of Denise's Chugach culture. Its designs are inspired by the people, animals and the natural environment of Alaska. The Wallaces are storytellers who use fossil ivory, silver, and richly colored stones as their medium rather than words. "My grandmother used to tell me stories when I was young, and I incorporate some of them into my work," Denise explains. "My main goal is, through my work, to express Alaska Native culture." To convey the concept of movement and transformation that is central to the Wallaces' work, the book includes eight gatefolds of their major storytelling belts, all seen at nearly actual size. The other eight belts are displayed on double page spreads. Each belt is illustrated with its historic and contemporary influences as well as being grouped with the pieces that originally came from or were influenced by it. The belts, which are seen together here for the first time, are artistic and technical masterpieces"--Publisher's website.
