1999It's the most unpalatable word in the restaurant business -- audit. The IRS has targeted Nick and Julia Lambros, owners of the Oracle Cafe in Delphi, Georgia, and indigestion is just the beginning. A tragedy, born of evil and bigotry, finds the sleuthing husband-and-wife team coming to the aid of April and Davon Folsom, an interracial couple who want their stillborn child buried in the cemetery of April's church. But the predominantly white congregation, led by Deacon Fry, stages a protest at the burial, and the distraught April threatens Fry with a gun. Days later, the deacon is found dead and April is accused of murder. Thugs, threats and dark secrets add to the menu that gets more dangerous by the moment as Nick and Julia tackle a mystery that makes even an audit seem like a vacation.250P. Book
1994Light bumping to corners. Light shelfwear to dustjacket. ; The first full history of ancient Georgia ever to be written outside Georgia itself, this book also serves as a valuable introduction to the substantial archaeological work that has been carried out there in recent decades. Designed to open up ancient Georgia for the world of scholarship at large, it is not only a history of a neglected region, but also a sustained attempt to inform topics and issues that are more familiar to the historians of antiquity. Examples include myths of the periphery; Caucasian mountains and their passes; Greek colonization; the Persian, Athenian, and Selecuid empires; Pompey's conquest of Mithridates' empire; the development of the Roman frontier in the eastern Black Sea region; Roman diplomacy in Iberia; the Christianization of Iberia; Sassanian ambitions in Transcaucasia; and Byzantine warfare there. ; 9.75 x 1 x 6.5 Inches; 359 pages

2010Georgia O'Keeffe (Sun Prairie, 1887- Santa Fe, 1986) è una delle artiste statunitensi più innovative degli anni in cui la pittura si affranca dal realismo. Pioniera di un'arte nonoggettiva che miscela chiarezza di visione e urgenza emotiva, sviluppa un punto di vista personale sull'astrattismo ed elabora un metodo compositivo che trova la più fortunata espressione in quei celebri ritratti di fiori dall'intensa carica sensuale. Il libro intreccia cammino personale e artistico, e accanto alle vicende della protagonista si accalcano personaggi del calibro di Steichen, Strand, Demuth, Dove, Marin, Hartley: uno spezzone altamente rappresentativo dell'espressione artistica del secolo breve d'oltreoceano. Avversa alle etichette, ha un rapporto travagliato con la critica maschile: quando la elogiano per lo sfrontato cromatismo, risponde con tonalità sommesse; se invece le ampie volute vengono lette in chiave sessualmente allusiva, replica abbandonando i soggetti più carichi di sentimentalismo per tornare a un repertorio realistico, magari "saccheggiato" ai colleghi maschi.
