Stabenow Dana
A GRAVE DENIED AWARD FINALIST
New York New York U.S.A.: Saint Martin's Press 2003. 1st edition September 2003 so stated with complete number line beginning with 1. Fine in fine dust jacket not price clipped in protective mylar cover. A SPOTTED OWL NOMINEE. A Kate Shugak mystery novel. "After a dozen mysteries featuring Aleut sleuth Kate Shugak including the Edgar-winning debut A Cold Day for Murder 1992 Stabenow's framework remains simple sound and effective. Take a strong-willed independent woman and pit her against the beautiful and dangerous Alaskan wilderness and those mainly men who try to compromise her independence. Give her a faithful companion Mutt a half-wolf mixed breed and an abiding sense of loyalty and fair play. One of the pleasures of the series is the tension that arises from the characters' need for both privacy and dependence on others. The result is closeness without intimacy superbly illustrated when the body of Len Dreyer town handyman turns up at the mouth of a glacier. Only then does it become clear that the victim was a complete cipher. Challenges and changes also mark Kate's relationships with teenager Johnny Morgan son of her late lover Jack Morgan and with state trooper Jim Chopin. Kate's professional training and investigative skills make her an able adjunct for the undermanned state police but this time her efforts render her and Johnny and Mutt targets for a killer. Stabenow is a fine storyteller but it is her passion for the Alaskan landscape and the iconoclastic people who inhabit it that fires this series and lifts this latest entry to its pinnacle." -- Publishers Weekly. First Edition. Hard Cover. Fine/Fine. Book. Saint Martin's Press Hardcover

Stabenow, Dana
Blood Will Tell
New York: Berkley Prime Crime. Near Fine. 1997. First Paperback Edition. Mass Market Paperback. Hint of spine crease. Full number line 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1. . 238 pages. Kate was formerly the star investigator of the Anchorage D.A.'s office; now all she wants to do is enjoy the first weeks of autumn on her isolated homestead. Alone. But duty calls in the form of Ekaterina Shugak Kate's grandmother the imposing matriarch of her extended family. It's the week of the Alaska Federation of Natives Convention and everyone who's anyone - as well as a few nobodies - has gathered in Anchorage for a week of shopping gossiping bragging and more than a little wheeling and dealing. But there's more happening this year than what's on the official agenda. A vote is coming up on the future of tribal lands and the arguments are heated. Heated enough to raise suspicions about the recent death of a Native Association board member. Kate has always refused to get involved with tribal politics. But the dead woman was a relative and the one true weakness Kate Shugak has is for her family. Reluctantly agreeing to investigate she is drawn into a whirlpool of deceit lies and secrets; she is torn not only between the modern world and the traditional but also between opposing factions within each group. And the more Kate investigates the more she discovers how deeply she is tied to the land and to what lengths she will go in order to protect it. . Berkley Prime Crime paperback

Else Very light shelfwear to DJ. ; 0.79 x 8.43 x 5.67 Inches; 207 pages; The role of women in Roman culture and society was a paradoxical one. They enjoyed social, material and financial independence yet they were denied basic constitutional rights. Although Roman history is not short of powerful female figures, such as Agrippina and Livia, their power stemmed from their associations with great men and was not officially recognized. Ariadne Staples' book examines how women in Rome were perceived both by themselves and by men through women's participation in Roman religion, as Roman religious ritual provided the single public arena where women played a significant formal role. From Good Goddess to Vestal Virgins argues that the ritual roles played out by women were vital in defining them sexually and that these sexually defined categories spilled over into other aspects of Roman culture, including political activity. Staples provides an arresting and original analysis of the role of women in Roman society, which challenges traditionally held views and provokes further questions.

Stark, Freya
The Valleys of the Assassins and Other Persian Travels
The book chronicles her travels into Luristan, the mountainous terrain nestled between Iraq and present-day Iran, often with only a single guide and on a shoestring budget. Stark writes engagingly of the nomadic peoples who inhabit the region's valleys and brings to life the stories of the ancient kingdoms of the Middle East, including that of the Lords of Alamut, a band of hashish-eating terrorists whose stronghold in the Elburz Mountains Stark was the first to document for the Royal Geographical Society. Her account is at once a highly readable travel narrative and a richly drawn, sympathetic portrait of a people told from their own compelling point of view. This edition includes a new Introduction by Jane Fletcher Geniesse.. 301p. Advance Uncorrected Proof Book
