The Silver Dollar Eyes
The Silver Dollar Eyes is an action-adventure story in the old tradition: hidden treasure, rival claimants, hand-to-hand combat, oriental intrigue, conniving schemers and native head hunters, all involved in a perilous journey through the most primitive islands in the world. Several years after the end of World War II in the pacific, a San Francisco travel writer is assigned to a bizarre search in Dutch New Guinea: find a remote native temple said to have scores of human skulls with silver dollars embedded in the eye sockets. An ex-GI who stole into the temple in 1945 swears that some of the dollars were dated 1804, the most valuable rare coin date in the world! As news of his mission leaks out, the writer is mugged, slugged, drugged, and duped as other adventurers join in the race to reach the Temple of Skulls before it is engulfed in a cataclysmic volcanic eruption. Albin Roman is retired from the Army as a civilian Public Affairs Officer. As a member of an Amphibian Engineer unit, he visited many remote villages along New Guinea's 1600-mile coast.

Coming Together
In Coming Together, Ryan Powell captures the social and political vitality of the first wave of movies made by, for, and about male-desiring men in the United States between World War II and the 1980s. From the underground films of Kenneth Anger and the Gay Girls Riding Club to the gay liberation-era hardcore films and domestic dramas of Joe Gage and James Bidgood, Powell illuminates how central filmmaking and exhibition were to gay socializing and worldmaking. Unearthing scores of films and a trove of film-related ephemera, Coming Together persuasively unsettles popular histories that center Stonewall as a ground zero for gay liberation and visibility. Powell asks how this generation of movie-making—which defiantly challenged legal and cultural norms around sexuality and gender—provided, and may still provide, meaningful models for living.
British Muslims and Their Discourses
This book highlights the changing dynamics of Muslim identity and integration in Britain, focusing on the post-9/11 era. Historically, Muslims faced discrimination based on ethnicity rather than religion. However, contemporary discrimination against Muslims is rooted in different reasons, with events like the Rushdie affair significantly impacting multicultural relations. This study analyzes the evolving multicultural landscape in Britain, exploring the shift from predominantly assimilationist policies to a more mutual process of integration. It delves into the emergence of interfaith dialogue as well as the complexities surrounding the intersection of race, religion, gender, and identity. T...
