Book Description
Vonna Harper writing as Vella Munn When her mentor disappears, Winter follows his trail to the Pacific Northwest, where the untamed wilderness is beautiful...and hides deadly secrets. Anthropologist Winter Barstow knows nothing of her past or ethnic heritage and tells herself it doesn't matter. Everything changes when Doc, her mentor, sends her an authentic ceremonial wolf mask from Olympic National Forest. The mask calls to her in ways she can't understand or explain. Then Doc disappears. Determined to find him and discover the mask's origin, she travels to the mysterious, awe-inspiring forest where she's confronted by Native American ranger Jay Raven, who has no love for Doc. The deeper Winter digs into her mentor's disappearance, the more alarming things become. She begins to hear a mysterious wolf's howl...even when no one else does. Jay warns Winter to leave, but she owes Doc and herself the truth. And even though it goes against everything he has promised his tribe's elders, Jay can't walk away from Winter. Not only has a spirit wolf reached out to her, but he also suspects she's in terrible danger...and his growing feelings for her are too strong to ignore.

Book Description
"The poems of Mervyn Morris, one of the most resourceful West Indian poets, are economical, witty and humane. Aware at each moment of the processes of writing, Morris makes use of the diverse linguistic resources of his native Jamaica, with poems in international standard English, Jamaican Creole and a range of hybrid idioms. The variations inflect his explorations of love and lust, time and memory, the relationship between private consciousness and commitment to the wider world of history, politics and art. His poems frequently suggest the tension inherent in moments of choice."--BOOK JACKET.

Book Description
In a society that has seen epochal change over a few generations, what remains to hold people together and offer them a sense of continuity and meaning? In Songs for Dead Parents, Erik Mueggler shows how in contemporary China death and the practices surrounding it have become central to maintaining a connection with the world of ancestors, ghosts, and spirits that socialism explicitly disavowed. Drawing on more than twenty years of fieldwork in a mountain community in Yunnan Province, Songs for Dead Parents shows how people view the dead as both material and immaterial, as effigies replace corpses, tombstones replace effigies, and texts eventually replace tombstones in a long process of disentangling the dead from the shared world of matter and memory. It is through these processes that people envision the cosmological underpinnings of the world and assess the social relations that make up their community. Thus, state interventions aimed at reforming death practices have been deeply consequential, and Mueggler traces the transformations they have wrought and their lasting effects.

Book Description
by Sister Mary Antonine Goodchild, O.P. What a wonderful find this is: an ideal textbook on chant for junior high, high school, or really any age. It is mercifully free of verbiage or exaggerated detail. It is short and completely clear on all aspects of learning to chant (notes, rhythm, Latin, style), and it contains a vast amount of the basic repertoire, in neumes and with English translations. It even has study questions! Many of us have wished that such a book would be written. It took Fr. Samuel Weber to point out that such a book already exists, and now, praise be to God, it is in print again. As the title says, it is the perfect text for Church and school. It came out in 1944 but it isn't in the slightest bit dated. This is priced for mass distribution.

Book Description
The terse, dark pieces in Andrew Demcak's fourth collection of poems occur under the cover of night. Into a richly macabre cityscape, the voices in these poems expose their secrets, from the desire of unbearable addictions to the shocking violence of hate crimes. In their spareness, with their array of surprising images, these poems are bold in their brevity. They converge into the urgent whispered voices we hear following us in the dark-our own voices and the voices of those like us. They become night chants.
