Petchesky, Rosalind P.
Global Prescriptions : Gendering Health and Human Rights
xiv, 306 pages ; 23 cm; bibliographical references (pages 281-295) and index. "The book reviews a decade of women's participation in UN conference, transnational networks, national advocacy efforts and sexual and reproductive health provision, assessing both their strengths and weaknesses. It contains trenchant critiques of the Cairo, Beijing and Copenhagen conference documents and of World Bank, WHO and health sector reform policies. It also offers case studies of national-level reform and advocacy efforts and appraises the controversy concerning TRIPs, trade, and essential AIDS drugs. That controversy, Petchesky argues, starkly illuminates the 'collision course' of transnational corporate and global trade agendas with the struggle for gender, racial and regional equity and the human right to health."--Jacket. Contents: Transnationalizing women's health movements -- The UN conferences as sites of discursive struggle: gains and fault lines -- HIV/AIDS and the human right to health: on a collision course with global capitalism -- Managing health under global capitalism: equity vs. productivity -- Implementing international norms at the national level: women's health NGOs on the firing line -- Conclusion: reflections on global governance and transnational feminist movements in an era of infinite war.

He Shall Thunder In The Sky: An Amelia Peabody Mystery
New York: William Morrow. Fine in Fine dust jacket. 2000. First Edition. Hardcover. Protected in a removable Brodart cover. 1.4 x 9 x 6.3 Inches. 416 pages. An Amelia Peabody Mystery No. 12. The pursuit of knowledge must never be deterred by Man's folly. So the close of 1914 finds Amelia Peabody and her husband Radcliffe Emerson back in Egypt for another season of archaeological excavation--despite the increasing danger of an attack on the Suez Canal and on Egypt itself. Trouble is brewing in Cairo and the defiantly pacifist stance of Amelia and Emerson's headstrong son Ramses is earning the young man the derision and much worse of the British expatriate community. Meanwhile the charismatic nationalist el Wardani is said to be fomenting insurrection in the ancient city. And since there is no way to stand outside the political hurricane that is suddenly threatening their lives Amelia plunges directly into it. When <I>el Wardani</I> escapes a police dragnet thanks to the direct intervention of Amelia and Emerson the family's stake in a perilous game is raised considerably. But it's Ramses' strange secret role in it that could truly bring ruin down upon all their heads. However there is more than intrigue and espionage plots and counterplots at work here. For an artifact uncovered at a Giza dig--an exquisite sculpture found where it ought not to be confirms Amelia's most unsettling suspicion: that the chaos consuming Cairo has masked the nefarious re-emergence of Amelia's villainous archnemesis Sethos the Master Criminal. .

The Ape Who Guards the Balance: An Amelia Peabody Mystery
New York: William Morrow & Company. Very Good in Very Good dust jacket. 1998. First Edition. Hardcover. Slight lean to spine. Protected in a removable Brodart cover. Stated First Edition with full number line. . 376 pages. An Amelia Peabody Mystery No. 10. The prospects for the 1907 archaeological season in Egypt seem fairly dull to Amelia Peabody. Despite her adored husband's brilliant reputation in his field his dashing-yet-less-than-diplomatic behavior has Professor Radcliffe Emerson ignominiously demoted to examining only the most boring tombs in the Valley of the Kings - mere leftovers really. All the Peabody Emersons profess stiff upper lips and intend to make the best of a bad situation but this year the legendary land of the pharaohs will yield more than priceless artifacts for the Emerson expedition. For the desert guards even deeper mysteries that are wrapped in greed--and sealed by murder. In a seedy section of Cairo the youngest members of the expedition purchase a mint-condition papyrus of the famed Book of the Dead the collection of magical spells and prayers designed to ward off the perils of the underworld and lead the deceased into everlasting life. But for as long as there have been graves there have also been grave robbers - as well as those who believe tomb violators risk the wrath of gods like Thoth the little baboon who protects the scales used to weigh such precious commodities as hearts and souls .

Peters, Margot
May Sarton: A Biography
The first biography of May Sarton: a brilliant revelation of the life and work of a literary figure who influenced her thousands of readers not only by her novels and poetry, but by her life and her writings about it.May Sarton's career stretched from 1930 (early sonnets published in Poetry magazine) to 1995 (her journal At Eighty-Two). She wrote more than twenty novels, and twenty-five books of poems and journals. The acclaimed biographer Margot Peters was given full access to Sarton's letters, journals, and notes, and during five years of research came to know Sarton herself--the complex woman and artist. She gives us a compelling portrait of Sarton the actress, the poet, the novelist, the feminist, the writer who struggled for literary acceptance. She shows us, beneath Sarton's exhilarating, irresistible spirit, the needy courtier and seducer, the woman whose creativity was propelled by the psychic drama she created in others.xi. 274p. illus bibliography index We watch young May at age two as she is abruptly uprooted from her native Belgium by World War I, a child ignored both by her mother, who was intent on her own artistic vision and reluctant to cope with a child, and by her father, obsessed with his academic research. We see Sarton as a young girl in America, and then later, at nineteen, choosing a life in the theatre, landing a job in Eva Le Gallienne's Civic Repertory, and gathering what would become a tight-knit coterie of friends and lovers . . . Sarton beginning to write poetry and novels . . . Sarton making friends with Elizabeth Bowen and Julian Huxley, Erika and Klaus Mann, Virginia Woolf, the poet H.D.--charming and enlisting them with her work, her vitality, her hunger for love, driven by her need to conquer (among her conquests: Bowen, Huxley, and later his wife, Juliette). We see her intense friendships with literary pals, including Muriel Rukeyser (her lover), and Louise Bogan, Sarton's "literary sibling, who at once encouraged her and excluded her from a world in which Bogan was a central figure. We see Sarton begin to create in the spiritual journals that inspired the devotion of readers the image of a strong, independent woman who lived peacefully with solitude--an image that contradicted the reality of her neediness, loneliness, and isolation as she pushed away loved ones with her demands and betrayals. A fascinating portrait of one of our major literary figures--a book that for the first time reveals the life that she herself kept hidden. Book
