When Angels Cry
Exploring right and wrong and good and evil on the mean streets of New York City, author Michael Marra presents a second collection of twelve short stories in When Angels Cry . Drawn from Marras experiences growing up in New York City, the narratives illustrate that there is redemption among all of lifes murder, corruption, betrayal, passion, and greed. In the selection More Than a Cloud, the family of a former boxer waits expectantly to hear the outcome of his liver transplant. In The Confession, Father Murphy has heard everything during confessions throughout his twenty-six years at Saint Rosalies Church in a crime-filled area in Brooklynuntil two men separately confess to the same brutal murder of a family of five. In The Piano Man the Nassau County Police Department investigates the murders of young women whove been garroted with piano wire. When Angels Cry provides insight into lifes stark realities, but also shows there are bright spots in the darkness among us.

Spaghetti Westerns--the Good, the Bad and the Violent
Spaghetti Westerns--mostly produced in Italy or by Italians but made throughout Europe--were bleaker, rougher, grittier imitations of Hollywood Westerns, focusing on heroes only slightly less evil than the villains. After a main filmography covering 558 Spaghetti Westerns, another section provides filmographies of personnel--actors and actresses, directors, musical composers, scriptwriters, cinematographers. Appendices provide lists of the popular Django films and the Sartana films, a listing of U.S.-made Spaghetti Western lookalikes, top ten and twenty lists and a list of the genre's worst.
Backbone of the Americas
"The American Cordilleras form a continuous orogen that extends for 12,500 km along the eastern flank of the Pacific Ocean from Arctic to Antarctic latitudes as an integral part of the circum-Pacific orogenic belt. Following two summary chapters on the overall anatomy and evolution of North and South American segments of the orogenic system, this volume includes ten seminal chapters dealing with salient aspects of the key geodynamic processes that have accompanied Cordilleran geotectonic evolution: forearc terrane accretion, arc magmatism, shallow subduction, and backarc intracontinental deformation. The papers in this volume were selected from those presented at the 2006 Backbone of the Americas Meeting, which was sponsored jointly by multiple North and South American geological societies in Mendoza, Argentina."--pub. desc.
