This story, though historical fiction, paints a reflection of the tenuous U.S. - Pakistani relationship and the long masking shadow that emanates not only from the Pentagon but from Islamabad and its culture of militarism and classism. The futures of both culturally divergent nations are tied to the eventual cessation of hostilities in Afgahnistan and the shrinking worldwide influence the U.S. will exercise on the world stage. Though In the Shadow paints a discomforting picture of greed and privilege gained from the grit of the common and the ordinary, an American policy of peace that mends the broken will secure rays of sunlight through the shadows of despair.
International relations are fragmented by mistrust, greed, and often hatred for those unlike us. Pegasus One leaps forward in a divided and super-secret world to predict the unthinkable and safeguard peace and our way of life.
Mamie's Button provides a glimpse of the all-to-common journey of boyhood into the realities of a world gone astray. From his innocence to the barren landscape of Afghanistan, Rudy Carmichael is pulled into the familiar and the tempting, but through it all, the unconditional love from Mamie, his grandmother, guides him away from the parched land and to the oasis of life. The button, a prized remnant from long ago, is given to Rudy as a constant reminder of Mamie's steadfast love and, becomes for him, a symbol of trust and hope in his life to come.

Canadian fiddle music receives the credit and recognition it deserves in this lively collection of tunes from virtually every province and ethnic group in Canada. Originally published in 1990, this project is the result of generous donations by numerous fiddlers and fans of fiddle music. In addition to the preservation and popularization of this folk music form, the contributors shared these common goals in this endeavor: composer recognition, folk music revitalization in Canada and abroad, acknowledgement of the violin and its own origins in the development of fiddle music and its place in Canadian society, note reading and chording, and to pay tribute to many great fiddlers. This revised edition features contributions of 200 of the best tunes from the first printing as well as 200 new tunes. They consist of hornpipes, strathspeys, polkas, waltzes, calypsos, reels, clogs, two-steps, jigs, airs, breakdowns, schottishes, marches, rags, and laments. A bibliography and the background of each composer is included.
