Conversations with Ann Howard
Why did I want this book to be written? Well, I think I have had a very happy life, I've made friends, some as far back as 60 years when I was in my amateur opera days and some from my professional life. Naturally things change as you get older, but luckily, reading through my diaries it all comes flooding back. I hope dear readers, you will enjoy this.

George V. Higgins
Best known for his popular crime fiction, Boston novelist George V. Higgins (1939-1999) should stand among the top ranks of the American literary canon. In his 26 novels and dozens of short stories, Higgins chronicled the lives of Boston's Irish with his trademark hard-boiled dialog, exploring the criminal underworld, American democracy, Boston politics, personal redemption and New England life in the tradition of Hawthorne and Thoreau. This intimate biography explores his turbulent life and career, including his working-class Irish Catholic roots, his two stormy marriages, his ambivalence toward the city of his birth, his passion for the limelight, and his drinking, which disrupted his family life and led to his early death at age 59. Discussions of Higgins's individual works and excerpts from his correspondence, writings, and thoughts on literature complete this revealing portrait.

Oscillate
On her ever-expanding, open-minded path towards enlightenment, Suzette's purpose and direction, in this lifetime, is to offer spiritual nourishment and service to others who are treading their own diverse paths. Several significant occurrences enable her to lead by example. By utilising her own meaningful experiences, she guides others towards becoming organically liberated on a spiritual and a physical level. To enable self-healing to take place, she encourages them to embrace the adversity which has occurred within their lives and to forgive themselves and others. On occasions, her own vulnerability surfaces and she works through those issues in her own distinct, intuitive way. One meaningful encounter is with a young autistic man, Hugo, whose mother is enduring the latter stages of Parkinson's Disease. She later dies. Notwithstanding his ordeal, he confronts his sorrow and inspires other autists to become more self-aware. Unexpectedly, a woman captures his heart and he fathers a child - a beautiful little boy.
The Tutu Archaeological Village Site
Excavations at the Tutu site represent a dramatic chapter in the annals of Caribbean archaeological excavation. The site was discovered in 1990 during the initial site clearing for a shopping mall in St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands. The site was excavated with the assistance of a team of professional archaeologists and volunteers. Utilizing resources and funds donated by the local scientific communities, the project employed a multidisciplinary sampling strategy designed to recover material for analysis by experts in fields such as anthropology, archaeology, palaeobotany, zooarchaeology, bioarchaeology, palaeopathology and photo imaging. This volume reports the results of these various applied analytical techniques laying a solid foundation for future comparative studies of prehistoric Caribbean human populations and cultures.
