DOUGLAS (Andrew)
Observations on an Extraordinary Case of Ruptured Uterus.
First edition, 74pp., recent quarter calf, marbled boards, red morocco title label lettered in gilt to spine. Andrew Douglas (1735/6?1806), physician and man-midwife, was born in Teviotdale, Roxburghshire, and educated at the University of Edinburgh. He began work as a surgeon in the navy in 1756, and later practised at Deal before returning to Edinburgh in 1775 where he graduated MD. He settled in London with the intention of practising midwifery, and was for several years physician to the Charity for Delivering Poor Married Women at their Own Houses.?(ODNB). This pamphlet deals with a case where "he succeeded in the delivery of a child from the cavity of the abdomen, and the woman recovered; from whence he infers, that those accidents, which admit the child to escape through a rupture of the uterus, are not necessarily fatal, and that the delivery is to be effected, without having recourse to the caesarean operation, with more ease than has been imagined."?Goldson, An Extraordinary Case. Wellcome II, p. 481.

TIGER'S HEART
Tallahassee FL U.S.A.: Naiad Press Tallahassee: FL 1992 1992. 1st ed. PBO large oversize trade pbk. Set in Victoria British Columbia. "In her fourth adventure Canadian lesbian PI Caitlin Reece catches up with a couple of her high-school classmates Jonna Rowan and Kirk Ratliffe. Jonna calls and begs Caitlin to meet her saying she fears for her life. But Caitlin is met not by Jonna but by her 10-year-old daughter Jory who explains that Kirk her father murdered her mother in a motel room. Jory wants Caitlin to find and kill Kirk. The police however say that Jonna's body is not at the motel and that Jory's account has ``a lot of inconsistencies.'' Jory sticks resolutely to her story but then she also claims that she once saw a UFO. A row of scars on Jory's back together with some digging into the recent past indicate to Caitlin that neither Kirk nor Jonna qualifies as a model parent. With the help of Gray Ng a psychic friend Francis the Ferret a computer database-cracker and Lester a photographer and general helper she makes real headway on the case--until Jory herself disappears. Neither Douglas's The Daughters of Artemis political message nor her dip into spiritualism blunts the intensity of this effective mystery as Caitlin probes the lives of former acquaintances and chases through a rugged British Columbian winter."--PW. 1st Edition. Trade Paperback. Fine/No Jacket. Book. Naiad Press Tallahassee: FL 1992 Paperback

The chapters included in the book has been written by eminent scholars after extensive research, with the intention to provide complete information to its readers about the khaps- their origin, expansion, constitution, ideology, legality, challanges created by them and about their dispute resolving machinery known as khap panchayats. These khap panchayats attracted the attention of media due to their verdicts promoting various types of honour crimes including honour killing . This book also focuses on the issue of brutal killing of couples residing in khap affected areas and opt for inter caste, inter religious and sagotra marriages. I hope this timely effort , first of its kind would be liked by the readers.
