SPRING IN WYOMING
AUTHOR'S NOTES At first, I wanted to preface like other writers usually do. Thank you to friends, editors, and things like that. Without turning everything down, I especially want to write something down before I forget. I want to thank my sources, Mr. Larry Wilcox, Sue Walsh, and Imam Shamsi Ali. Even though I tried to write it the best possible, there are a few things from this story that I have changed in such a way as to protect some people's privacy. Others I turned into fiction entirely because of the limited information I got. I hope you guys like it.
Burst Afresh
The poems in this collection are at times humorous, at other times scalding, at still other times full of charm--even playfully silly--but, in the end they are honest and intimate.
The Sin Eater
New Orleans: Henry Marrier's been good too long. A medical school geek, closet gun freak, and crime buff, he's tired of the books and towing the line. Ronaldo is his best friend from high school. Ex drug dealer and current mortician's apprentice, he's got work for Henry: guard the houses of the dead while the funeral's going on. Don't steal from them yourself. Especially not drugs, drug money, and evidence of other sin. But Henry's been good too long, and being bad is much easier than he would ever dream--or want. Faked funerals. Corpse mutilation. Deadly strippers, a crop of eyeballs, and murder. How did he get here, again? More importantly, how can he get back?

Fragments of a Mask
Destined to be an art mogul, Avery Judson serves as an apprentice to an antique shop owner and leaves home to seek his fortune as an art dealer extraordinaire. Soon he stumbles upon a remarkable collection which projects him into an international field of obsessed dealers, collectors, and museum operatives who fiercely compete for art treasures worldwide. Then, in the wake of the collapse of major colonial powers and the emergence of new and independent nations in the 1950s, Avery is exposed to the aggressive adventurers relentlessly searching across international boundaries for masterpieces unearthed by the ensuing political upheavals. In the midst of this, he finds a fragment of an ivory mask and seeks to unite the piece with the original, which leads him into conflict, machinations, suspense, and unexpected romance. As Avery unravels the shrouded affairs surrounding each step he takes, he encounters a formidable array of passionate characters: an iron-willed and adversarial industrialist and his brilliant, co-dependent wife; a mysterious woman internationally involved in art intrigues; and a woman whose unique wisdom changes his life.

Social Science in the Crucible
The 1920s and 30s were key decades for the history of American social science. The success of such quantitative disciplines as economics and psychology during World War I forced social scientists to reexamine their methods and practices and to consider recasting their field as a more objective science separated from its historical foundation in social reform. The debate that ensued, fiercely conducted in books, articles, correspondence, and even presidential addresses, made its way into every aspect of social science thought of the period and is the subject of this book. Mark C. Smith first provides a historical overview of the controversy over the nature and future of the social sciences in...

Broadway Musicals, 1943-2004
On March 31, 1943, the musical Oklahoma! premiered and the modern era of the Broadway musical was born. Since that time, the theatres of Broadway have staged hundreds of musicals--some more noteworthy than others, but all in their own way a part of American theatre history. With more than 750 entries, this comprehensive reference work provides information on every musical produced on Broadway since Oklahoma's 1943 debut. Each entry begins with a brief synopsis of the show, followed by a three-part history: first, the pre-Broadway story of the show, including out-of-town try-outs and Broadway previews; next, the Broadway run itself, with dates, theatres, and cast and crew, including replacements, chorus and understudies, songs, gossip, and notes on reviews and awards; and finally, post-Broadway information with a detailed list of later notable productions, along with important reviews and awards.
