Readers have found Gerald Hickeys novel Crossing a Rainbow compelling and imaginative. The book chronicles a heart-rending tale of a family divided by a childs obsession with a past life. --"A fascinating story that held my attention from cover to cover," commented Dan Lehman of Trabuco Canyon, California. "The author approaches the subject of reincarnation from a unique perspective and does it with sensitivity and feeling. No parent can read this book without becoming emotionally involved with the characters. I look forward to reading the authors next book." --"Kudos for your book Crossing a Rainbow," said Joan Gillett of Grand Rapids, Michigan. "You are a very good author, and my hat is off to you." --Barbara Armenta of Mesa, Arizona, said she found the novel "a journey of intrigue and imagination...a true original." The following is a synopsis of Crossing a Rainbow: Megan Albright, a Phoenix child of the 90s, longs to return to the mountain ranch where she claims that she once lived with her Indian mother. After she tries to run away to reach her mysterious other home, her parents wallow in angst and confusion. While covering a conference at the Timberline Lodge in the high country, her father, newspaper reporter Stuart Albright, sees a portrait of a striking teen-age girl. Painted by artist and rancher Dawn Clovis, it depicts her daughter, Jani, who has been missing for several years. Megan, who has been plagued with nightmares about a teen-age girls death, views the portrait in the presence of her parents and breaks down. She meets Dawn Clovis, a widowed Apache who married an Anglo rancher, and feels strong filial ties to her. Megans divided loyalties distress her Anglo parents. They resent their daughters bond with the Indian woman and growing desire to live with her. After a nightmare, Megan relates a horrifying account of Janis kidnapping, rape and murder. Hikers later discover the teenagers body in a remote mountain area. Subsequently, Megan is also kidnapped, and her parents fear that she has met a fate similar to Janis. When a mysterious illness strikes Megans mother, Laurel Albright, she believes that someone has placed a curse on her, and she suspects Dawn Clovis of doing it.

The Heart Heals Slowly

By: Gerald Hickey

The Heart Heals Slowly, Gerald Hickeys recently released third novel, weaves a stirring account of an Ohio family shattered by personal misfortunes as the world reels from a global war. In this superbly told story, adolescent Lane Canfield, the familys last surviving member, tries to rebuild his troubled life with the Dantons, neighbors with two attractive teenage daughters. --"Gerald Hickey takes us on a journey from adolescence to adulthood with a member of the generation that Tom Brokaw describes as the greatest generation, said Phoenix resident Jim Stover. "His narrative follows a young man coming of age during World War II. His victories are not on the battlefields of Europe but rather on the battlefields of life. It is a warm testament to spirit and love triumphing over adversity." --Jack Munsell of Tampa, Florida, called the novel "a great page turner." --"An uplifting story of one mans struggle to overcome lifes inequities," commented Jane Ryan of Chandler, Arizona. This is a synopsis of The Heart Heals Slowly: As World War II rages, adolescent hormones seethe in an affluent Ohio suburb, where teenage Lane Canfield feels trapped in an abusive home environment. His older brother, Dale, a paratrooper who planned to become a surgeon, dies in the Normandy invasion. After exacting a promise from Lane to study medicine, his alcoholic father, widowed physician Grant Canfield, kills himself. Nursing student Cara Angeli, whom Lane loves but deceived about his age, then breaks off their relationship and reunites with a former boyfriend blinded in combat. Lanes neighbors the Dantons take him into their home, and their older daughter, Tish, an attractive cheerleader, begins coming to his bed. However, she intends to marry her highly motivated boyfriend, Brad Owen, who is headed for law school. Growing to manhood in the home of the ambitious Dantons, Lane tries to find genuine love and a satisfying career. He had hoped to become a writer, but his promise to his father to study medicine nags at him. Brock Danton, his surrogate father and a bridge contractor, eventually manipulates him into choosing a career in construction management. Obsessed with becoming a millionaire, Brock demands that Lane devote nearly all of his time and energy to his job. Brock has promised to share profits with him but keeps putting him off. Disillusioned, Lane moves to California with his artist wife, Shari Danton, and their small daughter, Melanie. He works in real state there for a longtime friend, now a successful Santa Monica broker. Although he finds real estate more lucrative and less stressful than construction, Lane becomes dissatisfied with the field. After a personal tragedy, the Canfields leave California for Colorado. Years later, with success on his doorstep in Colorado, Lane still feels haunted by the tragedy and other demons from his past. Until a shocking event changes his life.

Window on a War

An Anthropologist in the Vietnam Conflict

By: Gerald Cannon Hickey

When Gerald Hickey went to Vietnam in 1956 to complete his Ph.D. in anthropology, he didn't realize he would be there for most of the next eighteen years--through the entire Vietnam War. After working with the country folk of the Mekong Delta for several years, in 1963 Hickey was recruited by the Rand Corporation, which was contracted by the U.S. government to study and report on the highland tribes. From the buildup to war, when mountain tribespeople still lived in longhouses and cut and burned brush to clear fields for nice, to near the end of the conflict, when he sailed away from Vietnam on the S.S. Idaho, Gerald Hickey experienced it all. He lived through the horrible Viet Cong night attack on the Nam Dong Special Forces Camp in July 1964, and he survived the full-scale battle at Ban Me Thuot during Tet, 1968. Worst, he witnessed the decline of the mountain people from proud highlanders to refugees from a war none of them wanted and few understood. Hickey became respected by all parties as a fair intermediary between the highlanders, the American mission, and to some extent the Saigon government. His understanding of the montagnards, and his representation of their interests, helped to resolve their conflict with Saigon in 1965 and assured their alliance with U.S. forces through the rest of the war. These are his experiences, told with the calm yet deep emotion of a man who invested a major portion of his life and career in the events of the war and with the people among whom he lived and worked. His is a unique viewpoint and one to which we should attend. "[Hickey's] studies of these independent, brave, and misunderstood people provide the scholarly record; this fine book expresses his devotion and his despair at their inevitable and often cruel assimilation." --Douglas Pike

Gang Green

An Irreverent Look Behind the Scenes

By: Gerald Eskenazi

Question: What is the only team dating back to the 1970 AFL-NFL merger that has yet to win a division title? Question: What is the only team in the four major pro sports that has existed since the early 1960s and never had a coach leave with a winning career record for the team? Question: What is the only team in sports that plays its home games in a stadium named for another team? If you bleed green and white, you know the answer to these questions as well as you know the color of Joe Willie Namath's shoes. The New York Jets have a record for futility and self-sabotage that is unmatched in the history of professional sports. And nonetheless, they have been rewarded with a loyal following that has made Jets tickets as hard to come by as Jets winning seasons. For Jets fans, the bright beacon of promise has always turned into an onrushing train. They reveled in the joy of the Jets' epic victory in Super Bowl III, when their team beat the 18 1/2-point odds to defeat the Baltimore Colts, just as their cocky young quarterback had guaranteed; they then watched as contract squabbles broke up the core of the team, which would reach just one playoff game in the next twelve years. They cheered as their sleek, explosive team roared into the AFC Championship Game in January 1983; the team was held scoreless after overnight rains pelted the uncovered Orange Bowl field, turning the gridiron into a quagmire that favored the defense-oriented Dolphins. They dared to hope when the Jets went on an unprecedented spending spree in 1996, signing a Super Bowl quarterback and adding a host of fleet receivers and experienced linemen; they saw that team go 1-15, as Rich Kotite's Jets career coaching record sank to a jaw-dropping 4-28. In Gang Green, New York Times sportswriter Gerald Eskenazi details the bizarre history of this remarkable team. From the poor decisions (drafting Ken O'Brien instead of Dan Marino) and bad luck (Joe Namath's knees, Dennis Byrd's near-tragic neck injury) to the horrendous leadership (see Kotite, above) and outright strangeness (team practices held in an open area alongside the Belt Parkway, leRoy Neiman's presence as team artist-in-residence, the Richard Todd/Matt Robinson quarterback duel that wasn't) that have typified the Jets' mystifying approach to football, Gang Green captures the history of this most unusual franchise in a funny, rollicking, nostalgic tale. If you can name the Jet who is the only man in NFL history to run more than 90 yards on a play from scrimmage without scoring; if you remember the glory days of the New York Sack Exchange, when practice was often disrupted by the distracting presence of Mark Gastineau's inamorata, Brigitte Nielsen; if you can still hum the fight song coach Lou Holtz made the team sing after victories -- not that there were enough for them to memorize the lyrics; or if you know which Jets coach told which Jets punter that his flatulence traveled farther than the punter's kicks -- then Gang Green is the book for you.

The Insanity File

The Case of Mary Todd Lincoln

By: Mark E. Neely,R. Gerald McMurtry

In 1875 Robert Todd Lincoln caused his mother, Mary Todd Lincoln, to be committed to an insane asylum. Based on newly discovered manuscript materials, this book seeks to explain how and why. In these documents—marked by Robert Todd Lincoln as the "MTL Insanity File"—exists the only definitive record of the tragic story of Mary Todd Lincoln’s insanity trial. The book that results from these letters and documents addresses several areas of controversy in the life of the widow of Abraham Lincoln: the extent of her illness, the fairness of her trial, and the motives of those who had her committed for treatment. Related issues include the status of women under the law as well as the legal and medical treatment of insanity. Speculating on the reasons for her mental condition, the authors note that Mrs. Lincoln suffered an extraordinary amount of tragedy in a relatively few years. Three of her four sons died very young, and Abraham Lincoln was assassinated. After the death of her son Willie she maintained a darkly rigorous mourning for nearly three years, prompting the president to warn her that excessive woe might force him to send her to "that large white house on the hill yonder," the government hospital for the insane. Mrs. Lincoln also suffered anxiety about money, charting an exceptionally erratic financial course. She had spent lavishly during her husband’s presidency and at his death found herself deeply in debt. She had purchased trunkfuls of drapes to hang over phantom windows. 84 pairs of kid gloves in less than a month, and $3,200 worth of jewelry in the three months preceding Lincoln’s assassination. She followed the same erratic course for the rest of her life, creating in herself a tremendous anxiety. She occasionally feared that people were trying to kill her, and in 1873 she told her doctor that an Indian spirit was removing wires from her eyes and bones from her cheeks. Her son assembled an army of lawyers and medical experts who would swear in court that Mrs. Lincoln was insane. The jury found her insane and in need of treatment in an asylum. Whether the verdict was correct or not, the trial made Mary Lincoln desperate. Within hours of the verdict she would attempt suicide. In a few months she would contemplate murder. Since then every aspect of the trial has been criticized—from the defense attorney to the laws in force at the time. Neely and McMurtry deal with the trial, the commitment of Mary Todd Lincoln, her release, and her second trial. An appendix features letters and fragments by Mrs. Lincoln from the "Insanity File." The book is illustrated by 25 photographs.

Strictly Fantasy

The Cultural Roots of Tabletop Role-Playing Games

By: Gerald Nachtwey

Role-playing games seemed to appear of nowhere in the early 1970s and have been a quiet but steady presence in American culture ever since. This new look at the hobby searches for the historical origins of role-playing games deep in the imaginative worlds of Western culture. It looks at the earliest fantasy stories from the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, at the fans--both readers and writers--who wanted to bring them to life, at the Midwestern landscape and the middle-class households that were the hobby's birthplace, and at the struggle to find meaning and identity amidst cultural conflicts that drove many people into these communities of play. This book also addresses race, religion, gender, fandom, and the place these games have within American capitalism. All the paths of this journey are connected by the very quality that has made fantasy role-playing so powerful: it binds the limitless imagination into a "strict" framework of rules. Far from being an accidental offshoot of marginalized fan communities, role-playing games' ability to hold contradictions in dynamic, creative tension made them a necessary and central product of the twentieth century.

Showstoppers!

The Surprising Backstage Stories of Broadway's Most Remarkable Songs

By: Gerald Nachman

When Robert Preston shouted "Ya got trouble!" in River City, when Carol Channing glided down a gilded staircase while waiters serenaded her with "Hello, Dolly!," when Barbra Streisand defied us to rain on her parade in Funny Girl, audiences were instantly enchanted. Showstoppers! is all about Broadway musicals' most memorable numbers—why they were so effective, how they were created, and why they still resonate. Much of it is told through the eyes of the performers, songwriters, directors, and choreographers who first built these explosive numbers and lit the fuse. Gerald Nachman interviewed dozens of iconic musical theater figures, including Patti LuPone, John Raitt, Jerry Herman, Edie Adams, Dick Van Dyke, Joel Grey, Marvin Hamlisch, John Kander, Tommy Tune, Sheldon Harnick, and Harold Prince, uncovering priceless untold anecdotes and details.

The Nursery

By: Gerald Rolf

It has been said that if Irelands historic political partys did not recognize the massive changes that are necessary because of the recession and the pressures of the worlds need for oil, food, and water that the people of Ireland may look to a messianic type leader. The Nursery is a current events political intrigue story about two legislative TDs, Steven Hurley and Pat Gratton who formed the Democratic Independent Party. Over a few years they have identified and enlisted several TDs and Senators along with four Dubliners who have a strong desire to get even with the Government, The Phoenix Group. Two Fianna Fail Ministers and their Party Wip are murdered. Steven Hurley with the help of a retired chemistry teacher made poisonous extracts from plants on sale in Hurleys Clonee Nursery. A lab in one of the Nursery buildings where Fox Glove, Yew, Daffodil bulbs, Sweet Pea, Lantana and others are prepared as a liquid, powder, or tablet. A poison to fit the need. MRSA and C-diff cultures are also on hand. The other three members of the Phoenix Group are a retired nurse, a retired Garda, and an expert intelligence and surveillance person. Hospital doctors become suspicious of Minister ODowds and Party Wip, John Boyles cause of death. The Attorney General is contacted and the inquiry is turned over to detective Michael Gillen, of the ISS intelligence group. The ISS is a secret organization to investigate highly sensitive government situations. Less than a dozen people are aware of its existence. Only Michael Gillen and the ISS head, Sean Murphy, know of the inquiry. At the outset Michael is skeptical. John Boyles death was caused by a severe infection of MRSA and C-diff following a mugging. Sean ODowds death was caused by an apparent overdose of a hospital drug, digitalis. Further investigation indicates ODowd, who was in the hospital due to an atrial fibrillation occurrence. A lethal tablet of Fox Glove extract triggered the formation of digitalis allowing organ failures. A mystery nurse had been at his bedside early that morning. Michael and his wife Sheelaghs rural home happened to be located five miles south of the Hurley nursery. Sheelagh loves her gardening while Michael loves his golf, a continuous battle. A short course in poisonous plants and it is not long before Steven Hurley is Michaels prime suspect. Michael orders surveillance of Hurleys and Grattons home and office. Meanwhile Robert Sullivan, Hurleys intelligence man alerts the Phoenix Group to what Gillen would be doing. They take precautionary steps. A cat and mouse game begins. While Michael is doing his pick and shovel work Hurley and Gratton are busily lining up their candidates for both the June local elections and the upcoming re-call election they plan to make happen. Robert Sullivan has identified seven Fianna Fail back bench T Ds to be blackmailed into voting for a recall. He has also lined up a Dail bar attendant to use a few drops of daffodil bulb juice to put a TD or Senator in the bathroom for a day or two with diarrhea and vomiting. Hurley and Gratton continue doing the math while assessing their candidates for Dail seats following the recall elections in late July. The recessions occurrence has made their chances for success better. They hire one of newspapers best reporters as their PR person. Janet Smith is doing a great job. She knows all the politician players and the games they play. The June local election is successful. The Democratic Independent party has elected two of the three bi-election candidates for the Dail. They now have four DI Party seats plus the Magnificent Seven plus three Fianna Fail, two Fine Gael and one Labour TD switchers. Seventeen votes for a recall. Michael has identified the mystery nurse, Sara Logan, and is convinced of her guilt but has absolutely no proof. Hurley had his staff do landscaping at Saras home to cover the phone calls. None of the DI Party efforts would be possible

The Oxford Companion to American Theatre

By: Gerald Bordman,Thomas S. Hischak

First published in 1984, Gerald Bordman's Oxford Companion to American Theatre is the standard one-volume source on our national theatre. Critics have hailed its "wealth of authoritative information" (Back Stage), its "fascinating picture of the volatile American stage" (The Guardian), and its "well-chosen, illuminating facts" (Newsday). Now thoroughly revised, this distinguished volume once again provides an up-to-date guide to the American stage from its beginnings to the present. Completely updated by theater professor Thomas Hischak, the volume includes playwrights, plays, actors, directors, producers, songwriters, famous playhouses, dramatic movements, and much more. The book covers not only classic works (such as Death of a Salesman) but also many commercially successful plays (such as Getting Gertie's Garter), plus entries on foreign figures that have influenced our dramatic development (from Shakespeare to Beckett and Pinter). New entries include recent plays such as Angels in America and Six Degrees of Separation, performers such as Eric Bogosian and Bill Irwin, playwrights like David Henry Hwang and Wendy Wasserstein, and relevant developments and issues including AIDS in American theatre, theatrical producing by Disney, and the rise in solo performance. Accessible and authoritative, this valuable A-Z reference is ideal not only for students and scholars of theater, but everyone with a passion for the stage.

Vamp-Hire

By: Gerald Dean Rice

Mankind has won the Vampire Conflict. But the cost of victory is that a few humans have been turned into vamps–half human, half vampire. Prejudice against the vamps is high so finding work is near impossible. Plus, the slightest infraction could send any one of them back to the Pens, a place that’s as awful as any place on Earth. Nick is a loner who walks a narrow line between legal and illegal to make ends meet. He begrudgingly shares his home with a woman and her young child and finds work doing odd jobs suited only to vamps. When a chance encounter seems like it could lead into real work, Nick discovers he’s in more danger than ever. The military is trying to kidnap him, and something old and hungry has begun to roam the streets preying on his kind. To fight this ancient evil, he has to reach out to his own kind for help–and decide how human he is after all.

Workin' Man Blues

Country Music in California

By: Gerald Haslam,Alexandra Haslam Russell,Richard Chon

Workin' Man Blues is possibly the most brilliantly astute and thorough examination ever written about country music in California and the impact it has had in our lives and on our culture. I'm extremely flattered to be even mentioned in such august company."—Dwight Yoakam, Singer, Songwriter "With all the pathos of a Rose Maddox ballad and more edges than a Merle Haggard song, Haslam has spun together the stories of the artists who have made California part of country music and country music part of California."—James Gregory, author of American Exodus: The Dust Bowl Migration and Okie Culture in California "This book clears new ground in both the history of music and American ethnicity. As gorgeously detailed as any shirt worn by a Rhinestone Cowboy, there's no other book like it."—Kevin Starr, State Librarian of California

Laughing with God

Humor, Culture, and Transformation

By: Gerald A. Arbuckle

When Sarah overhears God tell Abraham that she will give birth to a son, she laughs. She laughs to herself at the impossibility of her, in her old age, bearing a child (Gen 18:12). But God’s ways are not Sarah’s ways; God is far more wonderful than Sarah imagines. Of course, Sarah does give birth to a son and names him Isaac, whose name means to laugh: God has brought laughter for me; everyone who hears will laugh with me (Gen 21:6). Surely, the ancient audience—aware of the many incongruities in this story—did laugh. But can we in modern times recover the divine humor, the paradox and promise, in this and other biblical accounts? Can we use that sacred laughter as a means to evangelize a world that longs for God every bit as much as the ancients did? In Laughing with God: Humor, Culture, and Transformation, Catholic priest and cultural anthropologist Gerald Arbuckle helps us do just that. With Arbuckle, readers will enter many rich biblical stories and come away laughing, not laughter as in response to a joke or comedy, but a profound laughter of the heart. Readers will laugh at Sarah as she laughs at God, and they will laugh together with Sarah and God. Readers will discover divine humor in the parables of Jesus and even in his suffering and death, the ultimate paradox for Christians. In addition to uncovering and recovering humor in Scripture, Arbuckle’s work is a treasure trove of modern examples of humor—from literature, movies, and television—that surprisingly can be a means of transforming cultures to better reflect the kingdom of God. In the end, readers will want to turn the phrase, He who laughs last, laughs best, into, They who laugh with God, evangelize best. Gerald A. Arbuckle, SM, PhD, is co-director of Refounding and Pastoral Development, a research ministry, in Sydney, Australia. He is internationally known for his expertise in helping church leaders minister effectively in a postmodern world. Arbuckle’s most recent books include: Confronting the Demon: A Gospel Response to Adult Bullying; Violence, Society, and the Church: A Cultural Approach; and Healthcare Ministry: Refounding the Mission in Tumultuous Times (2001 Catholic Press Association Award), all published by Liturgical Press.

Earthing the Gospel

An Inculturation Handbook for the Pastoral Worker

By: Gerald A. Arbuckle

Christians are much the richer for this accomplishment of a long-cherished dream by an experienced missioner-social anthropologist. Gerald Arbuckle has provided a book for the contemporary pastoral care team that mediates basic insights on ministry via the social sciences. He also challenges church workers to rethink and reassess their work in light of the profound cultural changes taking place around them. 'Earthing the Gospel' introduces pastoral workers in the First World to methods of social analysis pioneered by missionaries worldwide. It includes case histories, personal stories, and the results of fieldwork of hundreds of people in both the First and Third Worlds. Applying the insights of social anthropology to the parishes on the home frontÓ Arbuckle offers the tools required to address issues of mission and inculturation in the First World. Above all, 'Earthing the Gospel' is practical. It presumes no special knowledge of anthropology as it zeroes in on topical issues - racism, fundamentalism, the modern family, youth and senior citizen subcultures - affecting parishes and communities today. Each chapter ends with questions for reflection and action. For pastoral teams and workers on every level, the insights gained from mission around the world can, applying the methods described here, be just as fruitful in our own back yards.

American Drama of the Twentieth Century

By: Gerald M. Berkowitz

In this book Professor Berkowitz studies the diversity of American drama from the stylistic, experimental plays of O'Neill, through verse, tragedy and community theatre, to the theatre of the 1990s. The discussions range through dramatists, plays, genres and themes, with full supporting appendix material. It also examines major dramatists such as Eugene O'Neill, Arthur Miller, Sam Shephard, Tennessee Williams and August Wilson and covers not only the Broadway scene but also off Broadway movements and fringe theatres and such subjects as women's and African-American drama.
