The Return to key Largo
A naval fighter pilot returns to the family home in Key Largo after five years in a Vietnam POW camp. As he attempts to restart his life and begins work in the family owned fishing and lobster business: financial problems, a slow lobster season, and a large hurricane bearing down on the Island are just the beginning. A plea for help from his best friend since childhood results in danger from involvement with a drug cartel, high speed smugging runs over stormy seas in the late night darkness and then, there is that mysterious Asian exiotic dancer from Hong Kong. These are just a few of the elements coming into play as he struggles to walk an honorable path and to win the heart of a beautiful schoolteacher he has met. Several suprise twist await the reader as this story winds its way through the tropical landscapes, coral reefs and unique animal and sea life of the Florida Keys. A short prologue at the beginning of each chapter flashes back to some of his thoughts and experiences as a POW after his F-4 Phantom is brought down by a North Vietnamese Missile.
Painting & the Market in Early Modern Antwerp

Lost in the Grooves
Do you remember these great pop stars and their hits? Deerhoof's The Man, The King, The Girl Butch Hancock's West Texas Waltzes and Dust Blown Tractor Tunes, Swamp Dogg's Cuffed, Collared and Tagged, Michael Head's The Magical World Of The Strands, John Trubee's The Communists Are Coming to Kill Us, John Phillips's Wolf King of L.A., and Michel Magne's Moshe Mouse Crucifiction?

Pop music history is full of little-known musicians, whose work stands defiantly alone, too quirky, distinctive, or demented to appeal to a mass audience.

Domestic Devotions in Medieval and Early Modern Europe
Domestic devotion has become an increasingly important area of research in recent years, with the publication of a number of significant studies on the early modern period in particular. This Special Issue aims to build on these works and to expand their range, both geographically and chronologically. This collection focuses on lived religion and the devotional practices found in the domestic settings of late medieval and early modern Europe. More particularly, it investigates the degree to which the experience of personal or familial religious practice in the domestic realm intersected with the more public expression of faith in liturgical or communal settings. Its broad geographical range (spanning northern, southern, central and eastern Europe) includes practices related to Christianity, Judaism and Islam. This Special Issue will be of interest to historians, art historians, medievalists, early modernists, historians of religion, anthropologists and theologians, as well as those interested in the history of material religious culture. It also offers important insights into research areas such as gender studies, histories of the emotions and histories of the senses.

James Rosenquist
"This is the social history of art at its best."--Alex Potts, author of The Sculptural Imagination: Figurative, Modernist, Minimalist "James Rosenquist: Pop Art, Politics, and History in the 1960s provides a new perspective on the work of Rosenquist, a key but neglected artist of the Pop Art movement. Michael Lobel, who bases his study on detailed contextual research as well as close visual analysis, highlights the themes of obsolescence, novelty, and ephemera in Rosenquist's images and effectively relates the artist's interests to broader questions of consumer culture and urban planning in 1960s New York. Clearly written and thoroughly engaging, this book makes a significant contribution to our understanding of the artist and of Pop Art."--Cecile Whiting, author of Pop L.A.
