Red cloth in decorative dust jacket ; 1st edition 1st printing ; ISBN: 0930330994 9780930330996 ; "Over the last 20 years Baxt A Queer Kind of Death has always had a light touch but this book reaches new heights of levity if not silliness. Jethro Clay is devastated by the death of his beautiful ballerina daughter Vanessa when tycoon Medwin Patton deliberately runs her down in his car. Maddened by Patton's hangers-on who testify that it was an accident Clay goes on a murderous rampage. Aided by Patton's estranged wife Lilith he devises a series of ''clever'' murders e.g. a choreographer loses his legs that will eradicate the toadies. Under the very noses of two clever NYPD detectives the killings culminate in an almost-clean getaway for lovers Clay and Lilith with a twist ending in Africa. Among the problems of this disappointing caper are paper-thin characters and an unbelievable plot; the suspense is further vitiated by labored mayhem and feeble wisecracks."--Publisher's Weekly ; FINE/FINE New York : International Polygonics, c1988. hardcover

At the same time modern American Buddhists often find it difficult to integrate zazen seated Zen meditation with lives of family work and social engagement. This book offers a fascinating guide to overcoming both these dilemmas. A study of how one Zen group returned to an ancient Chinese tradition of community meditation practice without a leader or hierarchy this book also outlines an authentic "grassroots" approach urging people from all walks of life to come together in meditation and the study of dharma. Grassroots Zen focuses on the challenge of truly becoming one with the moment in our frantically paced society; of finding a space for the passing self; and of achieving balance between Zen practice and daily life as well as individuality in community. A thoughtful and absorbing work Grassroots Zen is an important book for those seeking a practice that is truly of the people by the people and for the people." ; AS NEW Boston ; Rutland, VT ; Tokyo : Tuttle Publishing Company, 2001. hardcover

Thousands of miles lay between her and her grandparents' farm in Nova Scotia where she had been born and raised. But over the next sixteen years Thailand became her beloved new home. She was awed by its physical beauty--the great rivers the orchid-studded hills--and became devoted to its people. Beginning as a nurse she eventually directed a small hospital. There she discovered her talent for organization and hard work. She also found to her grief that her work separated her f rom her children.

In theory this research could be a miracle cure perhaps even a doorway to immortality. It was also the only way Dr. Kennessy could save his leukemia-stricken son. But when a second corpse turns up savagely mutilated from within it's anything but theoretical. Could machines created to cure have learned to kill Scrambling for answers Mulder and Scully are opposed at every step by faceless enemies with all the resources of the government -- even perhaps of their own agency -- at their command. Enemies who will stop at nothing to ensure that the secret of immortality falls in the right hands -- their hands. As sinister forces close in Scully fights to save the life of an innocent boy while Mulder comes face to face with a crazed and desperate man. A man whose slightest touch brings agonizing death -- and perhaps a resurrection more horrible still. " ; FINE/FINE Nw York : HarperPrism, 1997. unknown
