Demons Cave 2nd Edition
Royce Morgan is counting the days to retirement. He will leave law enforcement and try his hand at writing. He had seen far too much violence in his career to care about crime stories; Royce prefers to work on historical novels. Driving home early on a Sunday morning Detective Royce Morgan hears a call for assistance on his radio. Being less than a mile from the location the Detective proceeds to the scene. What first appeared to be an automobile accident soon changes into a search for three missing friends of the injured college student. Early in the investigation Royce learns of pranks that had been initiated by the two boys involved. With the only one of the four in custody but unable to speak, the detective begins to follow evidence that will point in an unbelievable direction. As he works Royce Morgan has to contend with a hostile reporter, a grieving mother, and demanding parents of one of the missing student. As a professional policeman, Royce follows every lead. Mocked and ridiculed in the paper, facing an irritated commander, the detective searches diligently for the answer.When he finds it, Royce doesn't want to believe the truth.
Lyrebird Rising
Story of the life of Louise Hanson-Dyer (1884-1962). As a young Melbourne socialite she used her wealth (augmented by marrying a wealthy man 25 years her senior) to advance the arts in Melbourne. In 1932 she moved to Paris and established Editions de l'Oiseau-Lyre (Lyrebird Press), and as a music publisher set about reviving baroque and medieval music. Later she began to make discs and this recording venture expanded. In 1950 she made the first long-playing records in Europe and by the time she died Oiseau-Lyre was a famous label. The author is associate professor in humanities at Victoria University of Technology.
Well, Here We Are!
Bans and Bertha Hanson and their children arrived in Mountain Iron, Minnesota, on the Mesabi Iron Range in 1892. John and Hulda Beck and their children arrived there in 1906. After they arrived, both families had more children and both lost some children. The four parents all worked very hard and made very little money. But they had dreams that their surviving children could have more comfortable lives if they could get an education which they had been denied. The two families were brought together in 1922 when the Becks' oldest son married the Hansons' oldest daughter--the first marriage for both families. Well, Here We Are! is a record of what is known about the ancestors and descendants of Bans and Bertha and John and Hulda. It is a remarkable story of how the dreams of four minimally educated people came true, largely as a result of their hard work and sacrifice, but even more because they succeeded in making their children believe in those dreams and passed them on to following generations.
Representation of consumer interests in Wales
Consumer advocacy plays an important part in the Welsh economy. Organisations including Consumer Focus Wales and Citizens Advice represent consumers' interests in their dealings with businesses, industry regulators and the UK and Welsh Governments. A significant aspect of their work is to ensure that consumers receive a fair deal in their daily lives. Advocacy is particularly important to those termed the most vulnerable in Welsh society. The Government announced its plans in October 2010 to abolish Consumer Focus Wales and to transfer some or all of its functions to Citizens Advice Cymru. The final decision will be taken once Ministers have considered the findings of the public consultation...
The Cutting Room
Rilke, an auctioneer, comes upon a hidden collection of violent erotic photographs. He feels compelled to unearth more about the deceased owner who coveted them. What follows is a journey of discovery, decadence and deviousness, steered in part by Rilke's gay promiscuity and inquisitive nature.
Women in Music
Women in Music: A Research and Information Guide is an annotated bibliography emerging from more than twenty-five years of feminist scholarship on music. This book testifies to the great variety of subjects and approaches represented in over two decades of published writings on women, their work, and the important roles that feminist outlooks have played in formerly male-oriented academic scholarship or journalistic musings on women and music.
Visualizing Theory
Visualizing Theory is a lavishly illustrated collection of provocative essays, occasional pieces, and dialogues that first appeared in Visual Anthropology Review between 1990 and 1994. It contains contributions from anthropologists, from cultural, literary and film critics and from image makers themselves. Reclaiming visual anthropology as a space for the critical representation of visual culture from the naive realist and exoticist inclinations that have beleaguered practitioners' efforts to date, Visualizing Theory is a major intervention into this growing field.
Whatiwhatihoe
Whatiwhatihoe investigates a complex bundle of issues often referred to simply as a tribal "resource claim" but that really concern factors spanning the total social, political, and economic spectrum. Whatiwhatihoe tracks the origins and history of the Waikato raupatu claim, focusing particularly on the ways the claim has been handled.
Negotiating Space
Why did early medieval kings declare certain properties to be immune from the judicial and fiscal encroachments of their own agents? Did weakness compel them to prohibit their agents from entering these properties, as historians have traditionally believed? In a richly detailed book that will be greeted as a landmark addition to the literature on the Middle Ages, Barbara H. Rosenwein argues that immunities were markers of power. By placing restraints on themselves and their agents, kings demonstrated their authority, affirmed their status, and manipulated the boundaries of sacred space.Rosenwein transforms our understanding of an institution central to the political and social dynamics of me...
