An Honorable Death
After Paul Lucas murders and inherits the wealth of an elderly woman entrusted to his care, he is badly injured when a commercial airliner crashes into the Maryland countryside. Following extensive reconstructive surgery, he is unable to remember his past. Later, while on a Carribean cruise, Lucas falls in love and proposes to a spellbinding woman. But Paul Lucas' troubles are far from over. A retired police detective, hired by the murdered woman's brother is closing in on him. Meanwhile, the demented brother of a woman Lucas raped twenty years earlier has been released from prison. Having killed twice while in prison, the brother, Sean Dougherty, has grown to love the high he gets when he takes a human life. Vowing to revenge the rape and subsequent suicide of his twin sister, Sean Dougherty begins his violent campaign to restore honor to the Dougherty family name.
The Organized Family Historian
It can take hours to research family history and it is easy to become inundated with stuff - paper records, recordings, photographs, notes, artifacts, and more information than one would imagine could ever exist. The usefulness of the collection is in the organization - using computers, archival boxes, files, and forms to help you put your hands on what you need when you need it. Also included, in this book, are instructions on the best ways to store and preserve one-of-a-kind family relics. Fifth in the National Genealogical Society's Guide series, The Organized Family Historian will follow the same user-friendly format that makes the other books helpful at any level of genealogical experience. The NGS offers readers 100 years of research and experience.

Disability and Art History explores ways in which art responds to, envisions, and at times stereotypes and pathologizes disability, and aims to contextualize disability historically, as well as in terms of medicine, literature, and visual culture.
Images of Enchantment
This original and multidimensional book brings a refreshing new approach to the study of the arts of the Middle East. By dealing in one volume with dance, music, painting, and cinema, as experienced and practiced not only within the Middle East but also abroad, Images of Enchantment breaks down the artificial distinctions--of form, geography, 'high' and 'low' art, performer and artist--that are so often used to delineate the subjects and processes of Middle Eastern artistic culture. The eighteen essays in this book cover themes as diverse as Bedouin dance, the music of Arab Americans, cinema in Egypt and Iran, Hollywood representations of the Middle East, and contemporary Sudanese painting. ...
